Maybe they shouldn't have told this lie in the first place.
Otherwise, I wouldn't be in such an embarrassing situation.
…
Grandpa Yu frowned.
After a long while, "...just let nature take its course."
…
Grandma Yu opened her mouth.
Let nature take its course?
How come this is natural?
…
But other than letting nature take its course...
What else could they do?
…
Grandma Yu smiled bitterly.
Just let nature take its course.
The child asked...
They just said.
Children don’t ask…
is it possible?
…
But what Grandma Yu thought was impossible actually happened...
…
After finishing the meal, the child didn't even ask about his parents...
what happened?
The two old men were full of doubts.
It is undeniable that they feel a little lucky in their hearts.
So even if I still don’t understand...
They exchanged looks with each other many times.
They are restless.
They still didn't take the initiative to ask the children.
…
When the child goes back to his room...
The two old men looked at each other.
…
"……what happened?"
Grandma Yu even felt a little... magical.
The child cares so much about his parents. He wants to see his parents from the moment he wakes up, and he also looks forward to seeing his parents on the way back...
The first thing I do when I get home is to find my parents...
Such a child...
How could you go through dinner without even mentioning mom and dad?
Especially when they told their children that their parents were at work in order to appease them...
Logically speaking, my parents should be back by dinner time.
In the child's mind, he will definitely see his parents during dinner...
But he didn't see it.
The child didn't show the slightest concern about this?
…
Too strange.
Why did the child not even ask them?
just like…...
The child completely forgot about his parents.
…
how can that be possible?
…
"have no idea."
Grandpa Yu reached out and rubbed his forehead.
"strangeness……"
On the one hand, it is undeniable that they are grateful for their child's... oblivion?
Did he forget it or did it on purpose...
they do not know.
But on the other hand, they felt a little uneasy about their children's behavior that they couldn't understand.
…
Grandma Yu pursed her lips.
never mind.
Let’s put aside the questions that we can’t figure out for now.
Maybe we'll find out later by chance.
After they tell their children the truth...
Maybe they can get the child's answer.
…
The two old men were just lucky that no children would tell them the truth.
They thought they would tell their children soon.
After all, when we go home, our children can still get by without seeing their parents for two days, four days and five days.
What if it’s seven days, eight days, ten days and a half month?
How could it be possible to hide it?
But...
They seemed to really hide it -
No.
It cannot be said that they concealed it.
Because the child didn't ask them at all.
…
Too strange……
The two old men were puzzled.
They especially remember how anxious they were when they went out to buy groceries that afternoon...
After the results come back...
Did they lose a memory?
Or has the child lost a memory?
…
As time went by, the two old men's uneasiness, anxiety, and joy were all mixed together, and became more and more intense.
It made the two old people feel that their hearts were always with them.
It was an uncomfortable feeling, like waiting for execution.
…
They wanted to take the initiative to tell their children the truth several times that their parents had left.
But every time I opened my mouth, I was speechless.
Retreating in frustration.
…
The two old people felt that living like this was extremely awkward.
But I dare not burst this bubble.
They dare not bring up any topic about their parents in front of their children.
Not even just testing.
…
They are like ostriches with their heads buried in the sand.
feeling bad.
I don't want to take my head out.
Every day is a struggle.
Nothing changes every day.
…
However, they are secretly looking forward to a change.
I look forward to the day when my children will ask them: Where are mom and dad?
…
This kid...
Won't you forget your parents?
It's been so many days, I haven't seen my parents, I haven't asked them, let alone mentioned my parents...
Too strange……
…
They seem to be living in a thin soap bubble.
The bubbles are beautiful.
Ambilight.
But it's so fragile that it can break if you poke it.
…
They were careful, even if they didn't understand the reason for the bubble's appearance, they didn't want to pop it.
…
They were lucky that this bubble appeared.
They even dream that this bubble will always exist.
I never thought that one day...
It was they who popped the bubble with their own hands.
And I hate the existence of this bubble.
…
The first time the two old men truly realized something was wrong with their children was one night...
They took their children to the park to walk around.
…
This was the first time they took their children out at night since the accident.
The park is great for walking on summer evenings.
The lush greenery and the water vapor from the lake make the park like a natural oxygen bar.
The temperature is suitable.
There are many people coming and going.
It was very lively.
Children's laughter and play can be heard everywhere.
The background music of the square dance is loud.
The old ladies were smiling and moving neatly.
…
The two old men looked at the jumping children walking in front, their eyebrows furrowed.
…
"Lao Yu, Xiao Yu."
An acquaintance came over to say hello.
Anyone who knows the two old people knows that they have the same surname. To distinguish them, they call them Grandpa Yu, Lao Yu, and Grandma Yu, Xiao Yu.
Grandpa Yu made a small protest.
Why is he "old"?
The protest is invalid.
Grandma Yu nodded and accepted these two titles with a smile.
…
"My parents are not dead!"
…
The child's shout brought a brief silence to the noisy space.
…
Grandpa Yu and Grandma Yu immediately recognized the voice of their grandson.
They looked up quickly.
Because they were chatting with acquaintances just now, they didn't pay attention to the children.
They also saw that the park was quite lively, and most of them were neighbors nearby, so they didn't have much to worry about.
…
What's happening?
Two old men found their grandson.
They immediately walked over quickly.
…
"You are lying!"
The little girl opposite put her hands on her hips and opened her eyes wide, "My grandparents said that your parents died in a car accident!"
…
"No!"
Yu Lele almost screamed, "How could you say that about my parents..."
The child was so anxious that he wanted to do something to vent his anger.
He couldn't help but reach out and push the little girl.
Let her talk nonsense!
…
"Lele!"
The second before Yu Lele's hand was about to touch the little girl, Grandma Yu took Yu Lele's hand.
