“…”
Gu Luo was silent for a moment. How should he put it? He didn't have the extra energy to get involved too much with the little girl in front of him, but thinking that the government had issued a special task anyway, he might as well add it.
After taking out my phone and adding friends, I casually said:
"You can only know a person's face but not his heart. You are still young. Don't randomly add people to your life in the future."
"I've only added you, brother." Tang Xiaoxiao added as she edited her notes, "I don't have any friends, I just want to try to make one."
Her tone was quite calm, just like when she said the word "suicide" just now.
Hearing this, Gu Luo's eyes subconsciously swept over the pair of legs in the wheelchair, and then he remembered the first words she said just now - "Brother, you still have to protect your legs" and couldn't help feeling a little distressed.
A poor little fellow indeed.
Children of this age should be running and playing happily outside every day.
Tang Xiaoxiao can only sit in a wheelchair, has no friends, and can't even go to school.
Gu Luo collected his thoughts and asked with a smile, "Really? Then why are you willing to be friends with me?"
"Because my brother is a sister-con." Tang Xiaoxiao said seriously.
"cough....."
Gu Luo was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to respond.
Tang Xiaoxiao then said, "If you are a sister complex, if a cute little girl like me acts like a spoiled child, you will definitely take the time to accompany me out to relax."
After a pause, he added, "Actually, I'm still quite scared to go out in the middle of the night."
"...You are plotting openly."
Gu Luo didn't want to continue this topic, because his weakness had indeed been exposed, but he didn't want to get too involved with strangers. After thinking about it, he changed the subject and said:
"Xiaoxiao, let me take you home first. It's already very late."
"Yeah, okay."
In this way, Gu Luo sent Tang Xiaoxiao all the way downstairs. Since the wheelchair was electric, it was not difficult.
During this process, he learned about Tang Xiaoxiao's basic situation through chatting.
It turned out that Tang Xiaoxiao's disability was not congenital, but the result of an accident. His family ran a bar, and his parents were busy in the store almost every night, and they would not be out until around five in the morning after closing.
Almost all the money the family earned over the years was used to treat Tang Xiaoxiao's legs. Although the effect was minimal, at least there was still a glimmer of hope.
Because of this glimmer of hope, her parents never had a second child. All their thoughts were on helping Tang Xiaoxiao stand up again.
After Tang Xiaoxiao's tutoring lessons at home, she would often sit quietly on the balcony, watching the traffic on the street and other children chasing each other with laughter.
Over time, I noticed the Gu Luo family who lived across the street.
The moat wasn't far from where they lived. When they reached the bottom of the stairs, Tang Xiaoxiao suddenly said, "Brother, your sisters all like you. It's a kind of male-female thing, especially the one with short hair."
Hearing this, Gu Luo was slightly stunned and couldn't help but find it funny.
The one the short-haired sister is talking about is Luo Shuling?
It’s not that Tang Xiaoxiao is picky, they all really like her.
It can be said that Tang Xiaoxiao is sharp-eyed. Among her sisters, only Luo Shuling simply treats her as her brother.
"How old are you? Do you understand the feelings between men and women?" Gu Luo couldn't admit to the special relationship between him and his four sisters in front of outsiders, so he said seriously:
"These sisters and I are just normal siblings who have a good relationship."
Tang Xiaoxiao just looked at him quietly and said quietly, "Brother, you can lie to me, but don't lie to yourself."
“…”
Gu Luo's mouth twitched. All along the way, he really felt that the little girl in front of him was much smarter than her peers. He did not talk about the relationship with his four sisters, but asked:
"Okay, Xiaoxiao, tell me why you think the short-haired sister likes me, and likes me so much?"
"I think so, or maybe it's because she and I are the same type of people." Tang Xiaoxiao said this, suddenly raised her head and looked towards the balcony of the tenth-floor apartment, and said quietly:
"That sister looks very tired."
After hearing this, Gu Luo felt that the little girl in front of him had some characteristics of a middle school student, or maybe she had read too many novels and liked to make some inexplicable exclamations.
Luo Shuling is carefree and carefree in her daily life. Apart from eating, she watches soap operas in the living room. She smiles all day long, and I really don't know where she gets tired.
At most, as the director of the Public Service Department, I need to deal with a lot of things, but Guangya is just a school, so there are only so many things to do.
"You said that you and that sister are the same type of people, and you also said that she is very tired. Are you trying to say that you are tired too?" Gu Luo felt that this little girl said so much, but the main point she wanted to express was just this.
"Yeah, it's very tiring. I often want to leave this world. This way, I will be liberated, and my parents will be liberated too."
Tang Xiaoxiao always speaks directly and without any hesitation.
Hearing this, Gu Luo's brows subconsciously furrowed, but he suppressed them, squatted down, and said softly: "Xiaoxiao, I understand you, but you still have parents who love you. Even if it's just for them, you can't have such thoughts."
He now finally understood why this girl could so easily say the word "suicide", because she might really have this idea.
"Honestly, brother, don't you think this is very unfair to my parents?" Tang Xiaoxiao said this, turned away, and his expression dimmed a little:
"If I'm gone, Mom and Dad won't have to work so hard to make money, and we can have another child. That way, everything will be better, right?"
"They would suddenly think of me one night, hug each other and cry...but day will always come."
After hearing this, Gu Luo opened his mouth, but didn't know how to continue persuading.
Tang Xiaoxiao's mind was too mature, and all her empty words of comfort were useless.
Tang Xiaoxiao, perhaps because it was a rare opportunity for her to open up, couldn't stop talking. She continued, "Last month, my grandparents passed away, and my parents were very sad. So at least this year I won't have any thoughts of suicide, so don't worry, brother."
