My middle school diary exposed 9
After Su Zhongming confirmed at school that the person who jumped to his death was his younger brother, he panicked and wanted to call his parents with trembling hands, but then he put the phone down, covered his head and cried in the corner.
His parents' grief would only be deeper than his.
He couldn't imagine how his parents would feel when they heard the news, or even went to the funeral home to collect his brother's ashes.
How could his brother commit suicide by jumping off a building for no reason?
Su Zhongming felt that something was fishy, so he asked to meet with the school leaders. The dean of studies and the head teacher all cooperated and asked when his parents could come to the school to discuss compensation.
The school will cooperate unconditionally.
This attitude, as well as the various evidences produced by the school, seem to indicate that the brother's suicide by jumping off the building had nothing to do with the school.
Could it be... related to the recent changes in their family?
My parents' shop was sealed off twice. If they hadn't found someone to smooth things over, it would have really closed down. Not long after that, he got into trouble again. The family had to pay for his treatment and hospitalization out of their own pocket, which was another huge expense.
Fortunately, I had insurance, so it didn’t cost much in the end.
However, the perpetrator is still at large and the other party has not received the lesson he deserves. This has become the most difficult knot to let go of in the hearts of the whole family.
But he didn't believe that these things would be the reason for his brother's inexplicable suicide.
He went to the restroom in the mall to wash his face, and only took a taxi home after his red and swollen eyes returned to normal. As soon as he arrived at the door of the store, he saw a notice hanging on it saying that the store would be closed for a period of time.
The door is locked.
His heart tightened and he became more worried about his parents' health.
He couldn't let his parents suffer a second time, so he could only pretend he didn't know about his brother's suicide by jumping off a building for the time being, and then secretly investigate the truth behind his brother's death.
Thinking about this, Su Zhongming called his parents again and told them that he was at the door of the store.
Soon, Su Zhiwei appeared, expressing his surprise at his eldest son's inexplicable return. "Don't you have classes today? Why are you back so early?"
Su Zhongming lied that he was feeling a little unwell today, so he took a day off to rest. It just so happened that he didn't have any important classes in the afternoon.
Su Zhiwei became nervous when he heard this: "Where exactly do you feel uncomfortable?"
Su Zhongming said, "It's just... my head hurts a little." As he spoke, he secretly looked at his father's face. He could only see concern for him, and nothing else.
Su Zhiwei quickly said, "Then go back to your room and lie down for a while. I'll call you down when it's time for dinner."
If the pain still persists, you can only go to the hospital for a check-up.
Seeing his father so worried, Su Zhongming felt even more guilty and said quickly, "It didn't hurt that much on the way back." He looked up at the entire store and asked, "Dad, where's Mom?"
Su Zhiwei said: "She is counting things in the kitchen."
Su Zhongming suppressed his worry and said calmly, "I saw a notice on the door. Are you busy these days?"
Su Zhiwei hesitated for a few moments.
He couldn't explain to his children that his second son seemed to have committed suicide by jumping off a building, but in fact he sacrificed his life fighting against the evil minions, and had now returned to his original form and would be back soon.
When his children heard this, they would definitely think that he and his wife were overly sad and had hallucinations. Even if he took out the diary and showed it to his children, he might not be able to convince them to believe it.
Because it's too absurd and bizarre.
Even he... was actually a little half-believing and could only wait and see. It wouldn't be too late to tell the children until there was evidence to prove that everything the diary said was true.
So that the children won’t be sad in vain.
Seeing his father's hesitation for so long, Su Zhongming became more and more certain that the sudden closure of the store at home must be related to Luo Chen's jumping off the building.
Maybe his parents also thought Luo Chen's suicide was too strange...
Before he could continue thinking, Huang Lanzhi lifted the door curtain and walked out, looking surprised, then worried, and asked the same question as Su Zhiwei before.
He repeated his answer again.
Huang Lanzhi touched the child's forehead. He didn't have a fever, and he didn't look uncomfortable. She finally put her heart at ease and urged him, "Then listen to your father and go upstairs to get some rest."
She then said to Su Zhiwei, "There's some fish in the freezer that I bought yesterday. How about grilling it?"
Su Zhiwei sighed: "It's just right to clear some space for the ribs. Luo Chen's appetite has grown, and he may not be able to eat all these ribs."
As parents, we are always worried that our children will not have enough to eat.
Especially my second son. His diary said that his appetite was so big that he could even eat a giant tortoise in one bite. This amount of ribs is definitely not enough to fill his teeth.
Huang Lanzhi nodded, "Then I'll call Old Huang and order more ribs."
Su Zhongming couldn't see any trace of lying on his parents' faces.
Obviously, his parents had already been to the school, and were even extremely heartbroken and unable to accept Luo Chen's death. But not long after, his parents seemed to... think that Luo Chen was still alive, and their eyes were full of joy and uneasiness about their son's imminent return.
He became even more panicked.
The thing I was most worried about finally happened.
He didn't dare to burst his parents' fantasy, and said with sadness and heartache: "My brother is very busy with his studies, and he definitely won't be able to come back in the near future."
The Su family couple was stunned when they heard this, and then nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, your brother is very busy."
Otherwise they wouldn't know how to hide this from their children.
Both sides finished lunch with their own worries and well-intentioned concealment. Su Zhongming did not go back to his room to rest, but helped his parents clean up the dishes.
The Su couple were reluctant to let their child get tired, and they also had to continue counting things to be aware of everything, so they didn't need Su Zhongming's help at all, so they simply sent the child back to his room to rest.
Su Zhongming paused and said, "Okay, then you two shouldn't work too hard."
He walked up the stairs slowly, his heart beating slightly faster.
He heard from people at school that his parents had gone to the funeral home and taken his brother's ashes away, but they didn't mention where they were placed.
He just went to take a look at his brother's room. The furnishings in the room were the same as before, as if he had never left this world, the quilt, and the books on the table.
It was obviously no different from what he saw last time.
This means...my parents have never tidied up this room.
He walked slowly to his parents' door, but couldn't open it for a long time.
He didn't know where his brother's ashes were, and instinctively thought of the room he would never enter. After a while, he slowly pushed open the door, quickly searched around, and finally began to look for a hidden place.
When he opened the cabinet door, his pupils suddenly contracted.
It's an urn.
His parents hid the urn in the closet...
Thinking of my younger brother who grew up with me, who was still alive, he was placed in a small urn, with no trace of his existence.
Tears welled up in his eyes and he could barely hold back his sobs.
younger brother.
He held on to the cabinet door tightly, not daring to let the sound out. He tried his best to suppress his emotions that were about to burst. He quickly closed the door and went to the bathroom, washing his face with cold water.
He looked at himself in the mirror. Apart from the red bloodshot eyes, there was no sign that he had cried. Fortunately, he had told his parents before that he had a headache and felt uncomfortable, so they would not be suspicious.
Back in his bedroom, he was once again immersed in trance and grief, unable to extricate himself, and could not accept the fact that his brother had died.
At night.
The Su couple fiddled with their phones. Since they didn't know much about the internet, they finally turned to their eldest son and asked, "Don't you young people like playing with some software? Is there anything that can keep your dad and I up to date on what's happening around the world?"
Suzhou Ming carefully observed his parents' expressions. After a few seconds of thought, he took their phones and downloaded the most popular and popular app. He briefly explained how to use it: "Here are the trending searches, which show the most popular news and information appearing at every moment."
The parents listened attentively, then asked cautiously, "Have you seen the recent trending searches about... the Creator Emperor?"
Su Zhongming nodded, thinking his parents were worried about the foggy words that appeared on the shop door yesterday, so he reassured them, "The words on the door have all disappeared, so it shouldn't be a big problem."
He considered his tone and asked, "Are you guys closing the store because you're worried about this?"
The Su couple nodded without thinking.
But they weren't worried about the foggy words on the door affecting their safety; they were concerned about the evil spirits mentioned in the diary. After much hesitation, the couple asked, "What do people outside think of the evil spirits mentioned in the diary?"
Su Zhongming immediately said, "Don't believe this, it's all fake."
The Su couple looked worried.
Su Zhongming knew that his parents rarely went online and lacked the ability to discern this kind of thing, so he couldn't help but say, "If anyone tries to trick you with this, don't believe them and don't give them any money."
Seeing this, the Su family's parents completely gave up on telling their eldest son about the diary. They could only persuade him in a roundabout way: "Then you and your classmates should try to stay in school. After the exam, go home early and don't wander around or play around."
Su Zhongming felt a pang of sadness.
His brother's death made his parents even more worried about his safety.
He nodded.
The Su family's parents stood up: "Then you have a good rest, your father and I are going out."
The Su couple left the room and were about to close the door for their child when they heard Su Zhongming's voice suddenly coming from inside.
"Dad, Mom—"
The two of them looked over subconsciously.
Su Zhongming's eyes were filled with tears, and he said seriously, "No matter what happens, I will always be by your side."
He will shoulder the responsibility of being a younger brother, take good care of the family and take good care of his younger sister.
The Su family couple was startled and said with a smile, "I know, I know."
After closing the door, the couple's eyes were red, and they walked back to the room, snuggling up to each other.
Su Zhongming covered himself with the quilt and let the tears flow down.
The other side.
The Su family couple couldn't help but smile with emotion, "Our eldest son has really grown up..."
"Isn't it?" Su Zhiwei wiped his tears, his heart full of happiness.
The whole family is well, which is better than anything else.
The couple calmed down and Su Zhiwei took out his cell phone.
"First, check out the app my eldest son downloaded for me and see what's trending in the diary."
