“How much time was wasted/how much pain was suffered/how much understanding was accumulated/can’t hold back from crying, I want, hold back from crying.
Look up at the sky to keep the tears from flowing out/Look up into the depths of the clouds/Wait for the sunrise to end the story/Erase the past and keep from crying
I can’t admit defeat because I believe that the rainbow always follows the mist/will bring happiness/accompany me to dance a new dance at the next fork in the road..."
Later that day, he told Hu that he would not cry.
Because, he didn't feel the pain.
Teacher Zhang just looked at him and said nothing.
Hu Lai hugged him and said, "Xiao Rui, if you want to cry, just cry. Don't hold it in like this. I feel uncomfortable watching it."
Liu Ruixuan patted Hu Lai's shoulder gently, then pushed him away and told Lai Lai that he was fine.
Yes.
He's fine.
The bright sun above his head was so piercing that he couldn't keep his eyes open. It seemed that he had no time to prepare dishes and cakes for Xiuxiu and Cheche.
"Come on, the sun is shining so brightly, I'm going to take a rest." Liu Ruixuan blinked, his head was slightly dizzy, he calmed down and looked at Teacher Zhang, "Teacher Zhang, I can take my hand back."
Well?"
"That's enough." Teacher Zhang let go and looked at Liu Ruixuan, "Teacher, I'm sorry for you."
The voice was a little low and a little hoarse.
"I'm fine." Liu Ruixuan responded, looked up at the sun in the sky, smiled at Teacher Zhang, turned around and walked into the room.
Just the moment I turned around, I suddenly felt that my eyes went dark and I couldn't see anything.
"Xiao Rui!" Hu Lai yelled, and quickly came over, reaching out to support Liu Ruixuan, "Xiao Rui, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me."
Liu Ruixuan fell softly onto Hu Lai without any reaction.
Hu Lai suddenly panicked, swaying from side to side, shaking Liu Ruixuan, and shouted loudly: "Xiao Rui, Xiao Rui, don't scare me."
"Don't shake." Teacher Zhang took Hu Lai's arm, reached out and put Liu Ruixuan's left hand on his shoulder, "Let's go, send him to the room to lie down for a while."
"Teacher." Hu Lai sniffed, put Liu Ruixuan's right arm on his shoulder, and looked at Teacher Zhang with an uncertain face, "Xiao Rui will be okay, right?"
"It'll be fine." Teacher Zhang responded and sighed heavily, "He's just too sad and can't accept it for the moment."
Hu Lai looked at Teacher Zhang's face looking up at the sky, and a flash of surprise flashed in his heart.
Why did he suddenly feel that Teacher Zhang seemed to be more sad than him?
Teacher Zhang is really a good teacher. He feels the same way as them, much better than that annoying Tian Jingjing.
No, no, no, how can Tian Jingjing be compared with Teacher Zhang?
Hu Lai sniffed, looked at Teacher Zhang, then looked away, hugged Liu Ruixuan's head from behind, and helped Liu Ruixuan into the room with Teacher Zhang.
After being placed in Liu Ruixuan, Hu Lai stood up and looked at Teacher Zhang. He didn't know what he was going to do next.
Should he stay here and watch Xiao Rui, or should he go out and continue chopping green onions and cooking and making pancakes?
What if Xiao Rui doesn't wake up after a while while making dishes and making cakes?
Bah bah bah.
What are you talking about?
What if Xiao Rui sleeps for a long time and doesn't wake up?
However, if you don’t make vegetable pancakes, what will Xiuxiu and Cheche eat when they come back from school?
I wonder if Aunt Hua and Uncle Fen are very trustworthy. According to what they said yesterday, they will come back very late?
Hu Lai was confused for a moment and looked at Liu Ruixuan lying on the bed, and then at the table outside the room.
"Just watch Xiao Rui here." Teacher Zhang raised his head and rubbed Hu Lai's head, "I'm going to make vegetable cakes, don't worry."
"But," Hu Lai opened his mouth, "Teacher, you, you."
"Are you afraid that the teacher's cooking will not taste good?" Teacher Zhang glanced at Hu and walked outside, "Don't worry, after all these years, what I am best at is not teaching, but cooking."
"Ah?" Hu Lai couldn't help but widen his eyes.
After thinking about it carefully, it is right. After all, Teacher Zhang is also an adult.
He can make vegetables and cakes, let alone Teacher Zhang?
I pulled up a bamboo chair and found a seat to sit down.
Hu Lai turned his head to the right and looked at Liu Ruixuan on the bed, then tilted his head to the left and looked at Teacher Zhang outside the outer room.
Time passes quickly.
As he looked back and forth, noon had already arrived.
The sun's light and shadow fell through the door frame to his feet.
Xiao Rui hasn't woken up yet.
But Teacher Zhang has already prepared all the vegetable and cake dishes and spread them out on the table one by one.
At this moment, Teacher Zhang is no longer at the table. He has gone to the small vegetable garden to the left of the grape trellis.
Hu Lai looked towards Teacher Zhang and found that in addition to three patches of green onions, there were also some vegetables, cucumbers and tomatoes in the small vegetable garden.
Teacher Zhang doesn't know how to cook, does he?
An idea came to Hu Lai's mind.
He turned his head and looked at Liu Ruixuan, who was lying quietly, and his heart tightened again. He didn't know when Xiao Rui would wake up.
But he himself could only sit like this, dryly, with no one to help him.
The lunch problem seems to have been solved.
But, what should we do about Xiao Rui’s problem?
Hu Lai felt a surge of sadness in his heart.
Lying down like this all the time is not an option.
What will he say when Xiuxiu comes back? Besides, Xiuxiu will know sooner or later.
Aunt Hua will find out sooner or later.
Until then, Xiao Rui will still be sad again.
What should I do?
Hu Lai looked at the sunlight under his feet with confusion. From the original direct sunlight, it slowly became slightly tilted.
When I turned to look outside the door, I found that Teacher Zhang was already washing vegetables.
Hu Lai turned his head and glanced at Liu Ruixuan, stood up, walked towards Teacher Zhang, and whispered: "Teacher Zhang, do you want my help?"
It’s really uncomfortable to sit like this!
"No need." Teacher Zhang shook the green vegetables in his hand, glanced at Hu, and walked to the table, "You should take a look at Xiao Rui when you go to the room."
"Oh." Hu Lai responded without moving.
"What's wrong?"
Teacher Zhang took the kitchen knife and was about to chop vegetables when he saw Hu Lai still standing aside and not moving.
"I, I," Hu Lai opened his mouth, glanced at the briefcase on the bamboo chair, and replied, "I want to help Teacher Zhang. I can also do housework at home. It's very difficult to sit there.
Uncomfortable."
Teacher Zhang glanced at Hu Lai, took a small green vegetable, and said, "Oh."
A bunch of random people stood around, watching Teacher Zhang skillfully cut vegetables, raising and falling the knife so fast that the blade was almost invisible.
Hu Lai couldn't help but blink his eyes. Teacher Zhang was chopping vegetables faster than his mother.
It seems that I am really redundant and unable to help.
Hu Lai's eyes fell from Teacher Zhang's knife to the vegetable cakes on the table, and then to the bamboo chair next to him.
He still didn't believe it, and he still wanted to see the list in Teacher Zhang's briefcase.
He still wanted to confirm whether what Tian Jingjing said was true.
Teacher Zhang didn't wear glasses today.
Could it be that my eyes were dazzled and I saw something wrong?
"Teacher Zhang." Hu Lai opened his mouth and looked towards Teacher Zhang.
"Yes." Teacher Zhang, who was cutting vegetables, responded, wiped the vegetables on the knife, and pushed it to the corner of the chopping board, "By the way, go and get me a plate from the room."
"Me." Hu Lai was stunned for a moment.
"What's wrong?" Teacher Zhang glanced sideways at Hu.
"Oh. I'll go right away." Hu Lai responded, looked at Teacher Zhang, and walked towards the room.
I thought to myself that I would come back later, and when I came back, I would ask Teacher Zhang for the list to take a look at.
Just after taking two steps, I heard Teacher Zhang’s voice from behind me.
"mess."
"Hey!" Hu Lai responded quickly and turned around.
He found that Teacher Zhang only showed him a familiar back figure and a familiar voice without looking at him.
Teacher Zhang said, "By the way, look for a thermos bottle in the room to see if there is any hot water in it. When Xiao Rui wakes up, I can pour him a glass of water."
"Oh." Hu Lai responded, turned and walked towards the house.
Just as he reached the door of the house, Liu Ruixuan suddenly walked out of the house.
