Chapter 552: The Boy is My White Moonlight (10)
Chu Xu’s 14th birthday, the Chu family unanimously decided not to hold a big party, just invite relatives and friends to have a meal at home. Because Chu Xu likes to eat boiled cabbage, Mrs. Chu specially invited a famous Sichuan chef to come.
Chu Xu has never been interested in birthdays, but he had to obey because his elders valued him. He was dressed up that day, wearing a brand new suit and small leather shoes, and a hairdresser took care of his hair, as a celebration of his growing up a year older.
Ying Xinxin and Ying Haohao both came with their daughters, and they also dressed up carefully.
Li Ling followed behind her mother Ying Xinxin and enthusiastically called "sister", and Zhuang Yue nodded proudly as a response. When
Ying Haohao arrived, she immediately grabbed her eldest sister and started to act pitiful, while Ying Xinxin said hello and took her daughter Li Ling to sit next to Mrs. Chu. She understood her second sister's thoughts very well. It was precisely because she understood that she was more eager to please Old Lady Chu. In the past few years, she has also seen clearly who is the master of this family. Daughter Li Ling is also doing well, and her relationship with Old Lady Chu is getting better and better. Almost every week, she is taken to church by Old Lady Chu to worship.
She saw Chu Xu walking by her side, and Chu Xu called "Third Aunt" lightly and walked towards the back garden. Her reaction was not as intense and enthusiastic as before.
When daughter Li Ling was a child, her relationship with Chu Xu was better than anyone else, but since Xu Shi entered the Chu family, Chu Xu has become indifferent to everyone. This boy will eventually grow up, and he will have to marry and have children in the future. Daughter Li Ling can't have a good relationship with him for a lifetime. But it's different to have a good relationship with Old Lady Chu.
Old Lady Chu is in good health and knows how to take care of herself. It's possible that she can live another 20 or 30 years. When daughter Li Ling grows up, she can get a lot of help from her. Besides, Li Ling has also received a lot of good things from the old lady now. The various supplements used in this family are more thoughtful than those Chu Xu gave them before, and occasionally she, as a mother, can also benefit from it.
Chu's mother has always been paying attention to Chu Xu. He seems to be in a very low mood today. At the same time, she is also worried about Shi Yi who is sick. She was not feeling well in the morning. The family doctor took her temperature and prescribed medicine. She slept for a day and didn't know if her physical condition had improved.
Ying Haohao held her eldest sister's hand and talked about the family affairs, and then slowly turned to the topic of her daughter. Chu's mother breathed a sigh of relief. Her second sister was finally getting to the point.
It turned out that Ying Haohao's daughter Zhuang Yue was half a year older than Chu Xu. She was beautiful but her grades were not very good. Seeing that she was about to enter high school, Ying Haohao was preparing to ask the Chu family to help her go to a key middle school.
It was not a big deal for the Chu family. Chu's mother was about to nod in agreement, but her second sister immediately changed the topic and asked about the high school Chu Xu was going to.
Although Zhuang Yue sat obediently on the leather sofa, she always paid attention to the conversation between her mother and aunt.
Everyone in the circle of relatives knew that Chu Xu was the only heir to the Chu family's business, and Chu Xu's kindness to Li Ling was obvious to all. In the past few years, Chu Xu's indifference to Li Ling was also seen by everyone. So the family wanted her to build a good relationship with Chu Xu.
As long as she was liked by Chu Xu, she would not have to worry about finding a job after graduating from college. She could directly enter the Chu family's company and live a life of ease.
Chu Xu laughed and said, "Chu Xu is a child with a fickle mind. He hasn't decided which school he will go to."
"I say, sister, this won't work. How can a child have the final say in high school?"
Chu Xu, who was sitting on the sofa farthest away, had sharp ears. He lowered his eyes and drank water, pretending that he didn't hear anything.
He didn't have a close relationship with his relatives since he was a child, but the one he disliked was this second aunt, who had been instilling some particularly crooked principles into his cousin Zhuang Yue since he was a child. He liked Li Ling when he was a child because she was innocent and kind, not as complicated as adults.
He raised his eyes and looked in his direction.
The moment Li Ling and Chu Xu looked into each other's eyes, they felt a little strange. In the three years since her brother went to junior high school, she had not come to the Chu family again, but she saw Mrs. Chu every week. Her brother was more handsome than when he was a child, but the look in his eyes when he looked at her was not as warm as when he was a child.
Chu Xu felt a little embarrassed, but soon let it go. Everyone is not a child anymore. Li Ling has her own life and her own friends, and she no longer takes the initiative to come to his house to play. The ignorant intimacy they had when they were young can be washed away as life moves forward.
"Chu Xu, go get Shi Yi a glass of water and take her temperature. If she gets better, let her come down." Chu's mother, who had been paying attention to Chu Xu, saw that there were some signs of interaction between the two children, and immediately stopped them. Ying Haohao, who
was still pestering, had not yet gotten her wish, so she pulled her hand and dragged her back to the previous topic.
Chu Xu walked to the kitchen in silence.
Xu Shi Yi seemed to be sick every time he celebrated his birthday in the past three years, and he seemed to be a little used to it. It's just that he has celebrated so many birthdays, but he doesn't know when her birthday is.
Shi Yi slept very uneasily in the room.
She has been immersed in the original owner's dream. The dream was a depressing black, the boy was lying in a black coffin with his eyes closed, everyone was crying, and she was crying too. The scene was just like this, but it kept spinning and looping, and the crying kept lingering in her ears, making her unable to open her eyes.
"Wake up, wake up." Chu Xu pushed her shoulder.
The lights suddenly lit up, Shi Yi frowned in pain, and shouted out the original owner's voice, "Chu Xu, don't die."
Chu Xu's hand holding the cup was stunned in the air, and there was a flash of panic on his face as if he had broken something.
"Chu Xu, don't die." The girl continued to shout.
In Shi Yi's dream, the boy's face kept zooming in and out, and his pale facial features stood out in front of her - long and thick eyelashes, a high nose tip, and bloodless lips, as if copying a human body painting and constantly reproducing it in her heart bit by bit. Depression
. It can only be depression. Shi Yi felt like she was about to suffocate.
"Xu Shi Yi, are you having a nightmare?" Chu Xu placed his hand on her forehead, his narrow eyes darkened for a moment. Her fever had not subsided, and it was even hotter than in the morning.
Something cold touched her face, and it felt so good. Deep in the nightmare, Shi Yi reached out and held it, not wanting it to leave.
"Xu Shi Yi, are you confused because of the fever?" Chu Xu kneaded her face, but still didn't see any sign of her waking up. His eyes suddenly showed a hint of panic.
