I regret not being able to skate together again.
After Chen Xing and Chen Tian finished eating hamburgers in the store, Chen Tian wanted to take Chen Xing to ice skate by the small river in the fields.
Chen Xing took the initiative to say: "Brother, why don't you just not go? I want to go back."
Chen Tian listened to Chen Xing's tone and knew that Chen Xing really wanted to go but was also thinking about him.
Chen Tian said, "Don't you really want to go? You've been yelling about it since this morning. Let's go."
Chen Tian was about to hold Chen Xing's hand, but Chen Xing let him go.
Chen Xing always felt bad, but he also knew that Chen Tian would not give up easily.
Every time Chen Xing proposed something, Chen Tian would try his best to help her complete it, as if doing one thing less would make her regret it, for fear that she would have any regrets.
Yes, they can only sit down and chat and go out for a walk during the New Year holidays.
When they grow up a little, they are no longer as young and naive as before, and there are no things that can easily satisfy them.
The only thing that changes is age, and the time that slips away is the time that can never be returned.
Chen Xing still understood Chen Tian and knew what he feared most, but he could only say this.
Chen Xing smiled and said, "Brother, I'm tired and can't walk anymore. I want to go back and rest."
Chen Tian stopped and was stunned. Chen Xing could already see the worry on his face.
Chen Xing continued, "I just didn't sleep well last night. I'm a bit attached to my bed. Look, I have dark circles under my eyes. Now I really want to have a good night's sleep."
When Chen Tian heard Chen Xing say this, he was really moved. Nothing was more important than Chen Xing's health.
Chen Tian said: "Okay, I'll take you back. If you still want to go ice skating, I'll take you there next time."
Chen Xing held Chen Tian's arm, his nagging was in his ears, the road home was in front of him, and he felt warm in his heart.
As her brother, he always has a tough exterior but a soft heart, and he always makes jokes and teases her. But in fact, in this family, he seems to be the only one who can always remember what she said and what she wanted to do, and he will try his best to help her achieve everything.
Chen Xing said: "Okay, I understand, brother."
Chen Tian was feeling guilty for not taking good care of Chen Xing and not taking her ice skating. When he heard Chen Xing calling him by his name, three obvious vertical lines appeared between his eyebrows.
Chen Tiandao: "What did you call me?"
Chen Xing laughed wantonly and said, "Old brother, don't you think it would be very domineering to add the word 'old' in front of the address?"
Chen Tiancai wouldn't fall for Chen Xing's trick. "Domineering? Why do I feel like I'm fussy, like an old man who's always worried about his children?"
Chen Xing was amused and covered his mouth and said, "I didn't say that. You thought so."
Chen Tiandao: "Humph! I think that's what you think in your heart."
Chen Xing smiled all the way. Every time she made Chen Tian speechless, Chen Tian would become the punching bag. He wanted to hit her but couldn't bear to do it and could only stare at her.
Chen Tian is thin to begin with, and when he gets angry, the flesh on his cheeks squeezes together, as if he has swallowed two apples, which makes him look a bit cute like a child.
Chen Xing had a very happy half day, but later on, they really didn't get to skate together again, which left some regrets.
It was a regret that Chen Tian was unable to help Chen Xing realize his wish. This was obviously a very simple thing for him, but his time was stolen.
It was also a pity that Chen Xing failed to satisfy Chen Tian. It didn't matter that she missed out on happiness, but she also missed out on another happy memory with her brother.
This road has finally come to an end. I don’t know when we will go home together next time. When I was a child, I never felt any special feeling. I always looked forward to going home quickly and walking less distance.
But as we grew older, we met less often. Every time on the way home together, I really wished that this road could be longer and time could pass more slowly. It seemed as if the next time we were looking forward to was obscured by fog, as if it was there and not there, making people panic. I was reluctant to say goodbye and didn't want to see each other's backs.
Chen Xing stood at the door and said, "Okay, I'm here, don't go in, otherwise she will ask you to stay again."
Chen Tian knew that Chen Xing was talking about the old lady. When he left in the morning, the old lady wanted Chen Tian to have dinner here intentionally or unintentionally.
Chen Xing could see that Chen Tian didn't want to do that. Although he didn't know why he had become estranged from the old lady, he didn't want him to go against his will and do something he didn't want to do.
They are the same, always thinking about each other, but not wanting him to know.
Chen Tian nodded. His phone had vibrated several times along the way, but Chen Tian didn't look at it once.
Chen Xing said, "Brother, go find Sister Shanshan. It's a rare day off, so just half a day with me is enough. You should spend the rest of the time with your girlfriend. Sister Shanshan is the most important. She must be missing you."
Chen Tian always felt uncomfortable when listening to Chen Xing's words. She was so sensible that it made him feel distressed.
Chen Tiandao: "Okay, my sister is as important as my girlfriend. Don't say such things next time."
Chen Xing said, "Okay, I get it. It's you who wants to be the best brother in the world. But, right now, you should be nicer to Sister Shanshan."
Chen Xing joked, "It's not easy for someone to take a liking to you, you have to seize the opportunity, do you hear me?"
Chen Xing scolded him in the same tone that Chen Tian often used to teach her, which made Chen Tian laugh.
Chen Tian tapped Chen Xing's forehead lightly with his fingers and said, "Hey, you dare to imitate my speech, and you imitate it quite well."
Seeing that Chen Tian didn't seem to be about to leave, Chen Xing pushed him around, as if trying to drive him away.
Chen Xing said, "Brother, hurry up and leave. The sun will be setting soon. How can I take a nap?"
Chen Tian didn't use any force, he just suddenly stood firm and stuffed the candy in his pocket into Chen Xing's hand.
Chen Tiandao: "You ungrateful bastard, I've been playing with you for a long time, and you're already annoyed?"
Chen Xing looked at the extra bag of candy in her hand. Wasn't that the candy she wanted to take but put down in the supermarket?
Chen Xing stared at the bag of candy without saying anything. Chen Tian just reached out and rubbed Chen Xing's head.
Chen Tian lowered his voice and said softly, "If you want it, take it. When did you start being so coy with me?"
Without waiting for Chen Xing to come to her senses, Chen Tian put his hands on her shoulders and asked her to turn around.
"Okay, go back and catch up on your sleep. I don't want to see you going to the express station with dark circles under your eyes tomorrow."
Chen Tian's voice sounded behind Chen Xing, gradually becoming farther and farther away, and gradually becoming lighter, until it disappeared.
Tears flashed in Chen Xing's eyes. When she turned around, Chen Tian had already walked away. Why did she feel sad? She always felt that this should not be Chen Tian's original life.
This meeting was different from all the previous ones. Maybe it was because Chen Tian took off his school uniform and changed into adult clothes. He didn't even have time to adapt before he was forced to grow up, directly from campus to society without any buffer.
He grew up in an instant and took on heavy responsibilities. He was obviously still a child who had not grown up, but his steps were getting heavier and heavier, and he said things that adults didn't often say. Has he really adapted to this identity?
I still have to remind myself all the time that I am no longer at the age where I can act like a spoiled child or rely on my family. I can only rely on myself in everything.
*
In the following days, Chen Xing followed Chen Tian to the express station to help. Although he said he was helping, Chen Tian didn't actually let her move at all. He gave her a small stool and asked her to sit on the side.
Chen Xing didn't want to go back to her grandmother's house, and in order not to cause trouble for Chen Tian, she just sat there alone at the express station looking at her phone, thinking about what kind of emoticons to make.
Ever since she sent the photo to Wen Yu that day, she hasn't talked to Wen Yu again. It's like there's no news about Wen Yu. There's no follow-up to that incident, but Chen Xing always remembers it.
This day happened to be the last working day of the express station before the New Year, and tomorrow was New Year's Eve, so everyone was motivated to work.
Chen Xing has become familiar with Chen Tian’s colleagues and friends in the past few days. Occasionally, they will chat with her to relieve her boredom. They are all very lively boys, at the age of youth and energy.
Chen Xing saw the smiles on their faces and did not feel sorry for them. Perhaps they were not suitable to stay in the classroom. Their future was still bright. As long as they were willing to make progress, they still had a bright future.
Chen Xing was tired of sitting, so he stood up and walked outside, stretching towards the setting sun in the distance.
The weather forecast said there would be heavy snow the day after tomorrow. Chen Xing looked at the blue sky and didn't know whether it would snow.
She is still looking forward to the snow. She always feels that snowing during the Spring Festival is very romantic. Is this the first snow on the first day of the New Year?
"Chen Xing."
Chen Xing was still looking at the sky when suddenly someone called her from behind.
When Chen Xing turned around, she saw two women standing behind her. She knew one of them. Although she had only met her once in the dark, she still had a deep impression on her.
Chen Xing said, "Sister Shanshan."
Wang Shan smiled and said, "I didn't expect you still remembered me."
Chen Xing didn't say anything. Although she was Chen Tian's girlfriend, she was still a stranger to him.
Chen Xing remembered that day when Chen Tian took her out to play for half a day during his vacation. When Wang Shan was sending him messages frantically, Chen Xing asked Chen Tian to go find Wang Shan.
The next day, Chen Tian said that he had coaxed Wang Shan. Chen Xing asked him how he did it, and Chen Tian said he gave her a necklace.
Chen Xing had seen the photo of the necklace, and it was not cheap for Chen Tian.
Although giving gifts to please people is a common thing, Wang Shan should be aware of Chen Tian’s salary. He not only has to support himself, but also take care of his family.
Chen Xing doesn’t understand love, but she knows that liking someone means being good to them. But did Chen Tian really feel how good Shanshan was to him?
Chen Xing smiled politely, "Sister Shanshan, are you here to see my brother? He's still busy."
Wang Shan said, "I know. I told him before I came."
Chen Xing nodded, not knowing what else to talk to her about.
Wang Shan continued, "This is my friend, Yingying."
Wang Shan took the initiative to find something to talk about, so Chen Xing greeted her, "Hello, Sister Yingying."
Yingying looks kinder than Wang Shan, perhaps because she doesn't wear heavy makeup or too many jewelry, and she loves to laugh, so she always seems more approachable.
Yingying said, "Hello, your brother and I were high school classmates. I've heard that he has a well-behaved sister, but I didn't expect it to be true."
Chen Xing was happy to be praised.
Chen Xing said: "He didn't say anything bad about me, did he? He usually bullies me and scares me at every turn."
Yingying said, "No, you don't know. Every time he mentioned you in front of us, he could hardly suppress his smile. He was very proud to have a sister like you, like a treasure, as if he was afraid that we would snatch you away."
