But Xiao Xiao saw that the young man seemed to be thinking about something, so he did not disturb the young man.
He doesn't understand...
Why do so many people like to hit their heads when they can’t remember something?
Do you think your head is a television?
Can it get better with just a tap on the signal?
…
Xiao Xiao lowered his eyes.
Comb the hair on the head of the little white fox one by one.
…
"ah!"
The young man let out a low cry.
He remembered!
"...How could I forget..."
The young man murmured.
It seems incredible.
…
"Did you remember anything?"
Xiao Xiao raised his eyes and looked at the young man.
The tone is calm.
It seemed like it was just a casual question.
The boy can answer or not answer.
…
"……Um."
The young man pursed his lips.
Then responded.
The expression on Xiao Xiao's face was the most complicated since he had seen the boy several times.
…
"I remembered..."
The young man spoke very slowly, as if he was still sorting out the memory that had been forgotten for a long time and was finally remembered again today.
"I……"
The young man suddenly smiled at Xiao Xiao.
"Big brother."
"Actually, I'm not that..."
The young man paused.
He frowned and thought hard.
Then he said one word uncertainly, "Poor?"
…
"You are not pitiful."
Xiao Xiao looked at the young man.
There was a gentle smile between his eyebrows.
"You have grandparents."
The young man is not alone.
As long as someone is with him, the young man will not be pitiful.
…
The young man blinked.
A smile slowly appeared on his face.
"Um."
He didn't want to let himself think too much.
His grandparents were very kind to him.
This is what he felt personally.
After those two people abandoned him, his grandparents gave him a home.
He had already made up his mind that he would be good to his grandparents.
…
and……
The corners of the young man's mouth curved upward.
"I remembered..."
"Except for grandparents..."
"There are also people who are kind to me..."
He told his elder brother what he needed to say and what he was embarrassed to say.
Facing his elder brother, the young man has a lot less worries.
It can be said that I started to speak freely.
…
"It was when I was in elementary school..."
The young man said with some urgency.
It was as if he wanted to restore his pitiful image in his previous narrative.
He is not that miserable.
At least he didn't want to think that he was that miserable.
I don’t want others to think so.
He also has his lucky moments.
He is also lucky enough to meet kind-hearted people.
Just like the big brother in front of me.
…
"...She is a very beautiful and gentle big sister..."
The young man looked bright.
His eyes were a little dazed.
He fell into the memory of that time.
…
"...That day I sat alone on the swing...crying."
The young man pursed his lips.
Eyes drooping.
A bit embarrassed.
"I'm the only one in the clearing."
"Everyone has gone back to eat."
"I dare not go home."
"I failed that exam."
"The test papers require parents' signature."
"I'm scared."
At that time, he didn't realize that with those two people's indifference to him, how could they care about his grades?
In fact, he doesn't need to be so afraid at all...
Afraid of disappointing them.
Afraid of getting blamed from them.
Because they won't be disappointed at all.
I won't blame him for it.
…
The little figure huddled on the swing.
Keep your head down.
Something shiny fell down.
…
"What’s wrong with you?"
A gentle voice came.
"Why are you crying?"
…
The little figure was startled.
My whole body froze.
…
He turned back slowly.
I saw a face that smiled gently at him.
Especially with the setting sun behind her, the woman wearing a beige sweater and cardigan seemed to be melting into it.
…
The little boy was stunned.
There were tears hanging from the corners of his red eyes.
…
The woman reached out and gently touched the little boy's head.
"Why are you crying?"
She asked again.
…
"I failed the exam."
the little boy blurted out.
After saying this, the little boy looked annoyed.
Why did he just say that?
Why did he say such a shameful thing?
The little boy clasped his hands.
I wish I could turn back time.
Go back to the second before he said these words.
…
The woman slightly arched her eyebrows.
"I just failed the test once, it doesn't matter."
"You will have many opportunities to do well in the exam in the future."
…
"But the test papers need to be signed by parents."
The little boy Nana.
Knead your fingers together.
It's almost twisted into a mess.
"I'm afraid my parents will be angry..."
…
"As long as you promise your parents that you will work hard to do well in the exam next time, I think..."
The woman clenched her fists in a cheering gesture.
"They will forgive you."
…
"Really, really?"
The little boy couldn't believe it.
Is it that simple?
As long as he promises his parents...
Won't they be angry...?
…
"Really, really?"
The little boy confirmed again.
A faint light lit up in his eyes.
If only that were the case...
Next time, he will definitely do well in the exam next time!
…
"Um."
The woman nodded.
"Yes."
"I believe that instead of blaming you for failing in the test this time, your parents would rather hear your promise that you will study hard and get good results next time."
…
"Yes, really?"
The little boy asked stumblingly.
But in my heart I almost believe it.
What the eldest sister said is definitely right.
Big sister is so good...
So beautiful and so gentle...
The little boy likes his big sister very much.
…
"Yes."
The woman reached out and touched the little boy's head again.
"Go back quickly."
"It's getting dark."
…
"ah!?"
Only then did the little boy notice that there was only a trace of the sun's afterglow on the horizon, and he suddenly became anxious.
He jumped off the swing in a hurry.
"Um!"
The little boy nodded vigorously.
"big sister……"
The little boy turned his head.
…
"goodbye."
The woman sits on the swing next to the little boy.
Place one hand on your knee.
One hand waved to the little boy.
There is a gentle smile on the slightly crooked face.
…
"goodbye."
The little boy waved subconsciously.
He also gave a bright smile in return.
…
The next day, the little boy went to the open space again.
Sit on the swing with your head down.
The noise nearby has disappeared for no apparent reason.
he does not know.
He was immersed in his own thoughts.
…
"Crying again?"
A familiar voice reached the little boy's ears.
The little boy suddenly turned his head.
The eldest sister is sitting in the same position as yesterday.
Even the sunset behind my eldest sister is the same as yesterday.
The eldest sister had a smile on her face.
As if it could disappear at any time.
…
The little boy blinked hard.
It's like I want to see my eldest sister more clearly.
…
"What's the reason this time?"
The woman tilted her head and looked at the little boy.
…
"I……"
The little boy realized that he seemed to have missed something.
