Chapter 55
When Xi Shu was a child, he was not so sensible. To him, the little friend in the phone was everything to him. He didn't even know that the phone had other functions. When he found out, the phone could no longer be turned on.
Looking at the familiar mobile phone interface at this moment, I actually feel a little lost as to what day it is.
In the next room, a few desperate people were howling like ghosts and wolves, calling out to the sky and the earth, but no one answered.
Xi Shu could see that there were a lot of videos and audios on it, but he didn't have the courage to click on them. This was also the reason why he didn't give the phone to her even though he knew the child could repair it.
He lowered his eyes and looked for a while, then finally locked the phone screen.
Now is not the time to look at the phone. The meaning of the phone to him now is not just to watch videos and audios to reminisce, but more importantly, it allows him to keep going.
"Thank you," he said.
"You're welcome." Little Fusheng took his hand. "Brother, if you feel sad, you can tell me. The police haven't come yet, so I can go in and help you beat them up."
After a pause, she pursed her lips and said, "No matter what happens in the future, you can tell Fusheng. Fusheng can do a lot for you."
Everyone's eyes fell on her.
Little Fusheng lowered his head slightly: "Fusheng doesn't want to know anything."
If she hadn't discovered it by chance today, perhaps these things would have been resolved by the time she came out of school.
Her brother would also leave her after saying goodbye and go somewhere else, and it would take a long time for them to see each other again.
"Fusheng is a child, but he is very sensible." She assured.
Xi Shu put away his phone and lifted her little face up: "I'm sorry, it's my fault."
This time, Xiao Fusheng didn’t say it was okay, but remained silent.
Several adults felt embarrassed by this. Although their intention was good and they didn't want her to get involved, they turned around and thought that this would also make the child feel excluded.
"It's Mom and Dad who are wrong this time." Kan Qi squatted down. "Then can Fusheng promise Dad that no matter what happens, he will tell him and ask for Mom and Dad's opinion first?"
"Even though you can do everything, just like you worry about mom and dad, we also worry about you."
Xiao Fusheng thought about it and held out his little finger: "I'll pinky promise Daddy."
"Yeah, pinky promise."
Sheng Hang, sitting next to him, had been sitting there for a while, not thinking that dealing with these people was a difficult task. But why had they been so nervous before? They were so prepared as if the sky was about to fall.
He touched his chin and said, "I always feel that there is something I don't understand."
Xiao Fusheng blinked: "Hello, Fifth Uncle~"
Aside from the video they'd met, this was Sheng Hang's first time seeing his niece in person. He immediately put aside his chaotic thoughts when he was called out, leaning over to pick the child up. "Why are you still so thin? Did you skip your meals on the show?"
"Fusheng ate it." Little Fusheng pinched his uncle's face, "Uncle is the one who has lost weight."
"You're still paying attention to me?"
"Fusheng cares about every uncle and aunt." Little Fusheng hesitated for a moment and asked again, "Is Uncle going to take Brother Xi Shu away?"
She heard her mother say that Brother Fa Xishu was her uncle's adopted son.
If the brother's bad father goes to jail, then he will be left without a father, but the brother doesn't want to be her child, then he can only be someone else's child. This is the law of the human world.
"He's going home with me to study," Sheng Hang said. "If you miss him, you can come find him anytime."
He glanced at the people around him and said, "Or, you can go abroad with your uncle. Your uncle can support you and he also has a castle."
As soon as he said this, everyone rolled their eyes.
"Don't even think about it." They might be somewhat friendly towards Sheng Ning, but they would never give in to anyone else who wanted to snatch the child away. Luo Yao said angrily, "I haven't even had a few days to spend with my child, and you've brought him all over the country."
Xu Su, who had just spent some time with the child on the show, also deeply felt the same way.
How can it be possible if the children don’t grow up with them?
"Don't worry, don't worry." Little Fusheng got out of his uncle's arms and stretched out his hand, "Ningning mom, there is a small notebook in Fusheng's schoolbag."
Sheng Ning found the notebook she usually used to take notes from her new textbooks and handed it to her.
Xiao Fusheng turned to the latest page, which was a table she had just drawn in the classroom.
"Fusheng has figured it out." Little Fusheng's expression became serious. "Because Big Daddy, Little Daddy, and Susu's mom all have to work and their schedules are uncertain, Fusheng will be staying at Ningning's mom's house for the time being."
"Every day, Mom and Dad's assistants send Fusheng a schedule. When Mom and Dad are free, Fusheng will come to visit you." She flipped through the pages and made an orderly arrangement. "On weekends when Fusheng is not in school, we will take turns visiting. The teacher said that my situation is special. If I can pass the academic exams, I don't have to come to school every day. So Fusheng will not be in school every day. Fusheng still has to go to work during the work period. Mom and Dad can come to visit Fusheng during work."
"And my brother." She also treated him equally. "Although my brother has to go abroad, he has to call Fusheng every day to adjust to the time difference when we are both awake. He has to report his study progress to me in a timely manner and cannot be lazy or slack. I will also go to see my brother during my long vacation."
The adults all had helpless expressions and smiles on their faces, except Xi Shu, who had no reaction.
Xiao Fusheng knocked him on the head with his notebook: "Brother, did you hear what I said?"
"Yeah." Xi Shu seemed to come back to his senses suddenly, and nodded lightly after a few seconds, "I heard it."
After a pause, he added, "I remember it."
He took the departure too seriously, but now he realized that for a child, this departure cannot even be called a departure, but a short separation. However, he and she will meet again in the near future.
And he and she still grew up together, just like before, nothing has changed.
Even on the day he left, the child almost came late because he went home with a new classmate.
Xi Shu always had an indescribable feeling when looking at the progress bar of his favorability which had never moved.
He had clearly vowed to leave the child alone with him, but now he is the one who wants to leave the child on his own initiative. He can't even ask, "If I leave, will you still miss me? Will my favorability rating drop again?"
But when he saw the child standing in front of him, panting and saying that she was late, he was speechless.
Recently, Sheng Hang has been staying in China to deal with the Xi family's affairs and adoption procedures at home and abroad. Fortunately, it has been relatively smooth. However, during this period of time, he has also figured out the character of this adopted son.
Maybe it's because he has experienced a lot and is much more mature than his age, so his emotions are rarely shown on his face.
To put it bluntly, the "father-son" relationship between the two is also a relationship of interest. He obtained the guardianship of Xi Shu and also obtained the property of the Xi family that originally belonged to Xi Shu, while Xi Shu obtained his protection and subsequent experience learning.
Originally, Sheng Hang had taken more advantage, but Xi Shu was always polite to him, neither too distant nor too close, and the same was true to other people.
Only when facing Xiao Fusheng, he might show a little more anxiety than a child of his age.
It’s like when Xiao Fusheng hadn’t come yet, he couldn’t hide his expression and looked out, waiting all the time.
Now that Xiao Fusheng has arrived, he is a little at a loss. Maybe he has something to say but doesn't know what to say.
"I'll make room for you two kids." Sheng Hang walked aside. "Only ten minutes left."
Xiao Fusheng nodded: "Thank you, uncle!"
All the luggage was ready, and Xiao Fusheng didn't prepare anything else for her brother. She touched her head. It was the first time she experienced such a separation, and she didn't know what to do.
"Brother Xiaoshu." She finally said softly, "Fusheng will always remember it."
Xi Shu was a little absent-minded: "Remember what?"
"You told me to trust you," Xiao Fusheng said, "you will definitely be back soon."
Xi Shu was slightly stunned.
"I believe you." She smiled, revealing her cute dimples, her eyes as clear as ever, "So brother will definitely be back soon."
For no reason, Xi Shu couldn't help but smile: "Yeah."
"When you come back, Fusheng will grow up too." Little Fusheng said seriously, "Let's protect each other, okay?"
Xi Shu felt his throat was dry and itchy, making it difficult for him to speak. He could only squeeze out one word: "Okay."
"I saw on TV that people always hugged each other when seeing someone off at the airport." Little Fusheng opened his arms, "I want a hug from my brother too."
She hadn't even finished her words when she was hugged by the half-grown boy in front of her for the first time: "I'm sorry, brother, I broke my promise. I can't hug you anytime in the future."
"Of course." Little Fusheng said, "Brother has taken Fusheng's doll. If Fusheng needs a hug, brother will hug the doll, which means hugging me."
After a few seconds, the relaxed voice softened a little: "Brother, don't be afraid."
Xi Shu swallowed hard and said, "Well, I'm not afraid."
As boarding time was approaching, Sheng Ning spoke up to remind the two children.
Xi Shu tightened his grip, then suddenly let go and ran away without looking back.
Sheng Ning looked at her child, who was looking out at her like an old mother, and laughed: "You're usually so clingy, why are you so willing to let go this time?"
"I'm reluctant." Little Fusheng didn't look away, "But Fusheng knows that my brother will come back, so I can wait, and..."
"And what?"
Moreover, she had endured the days when she didn't know where her parents and brother had gone, and whether they would ever come back.
So now she can wait for this result.
Because she knew the outcome when it all started, so she will keep looking forward to it in the future.
Seeing his brother's back disappear, little Fusheng retracted his gaze and said to his mother, "And Fusheng loves you!"
On the other side, after getting on the plane, Sheng Hang took out a small notebook and handed it to Xi Shu.
The latter lowered his head, not daring to reveal his red eyes at all.
"My child gave it to you." Sheng Hang said.
Compared with Xiao Fusheng, Xi Shu cannot be considered as the real child of his family, so everyone calls him that. Of course, Xi Shu never minds.
Xi Shu opened the miniature notebook and discovered that the child who had almost forgotten the time while playing with his classmates had prepared so many things for him.
Because he was malnourished since childhood, he has always been cared for by a nutritionist arranged by his children. This nutrition book is densely filled with things he needs to pay attention to in order to maintain his health, his interests and hobbies, and his habits.
The last sentence reads:
Fifth uncle, Brother Xiaoshu is not very good at taking care of himself and doesn’t like to talk. I’ll trouble you to take good care of him in the future. Thank you, uncle!
Xi Shu's red eyes could no longer hold back and a tear fell.
He wiped it off hurriedly and took out the phone that the child had repaired for him.
It was not until now that he had the courage to open the contents himself. There were not only videos left by his mother recording his past, but also videos left by his mother for him before she passed away.
"Xiao Shu, when mom is gone, you must grow up strong. Mom will always protect you, love you, and stay by your side. So don't be afraid of separation and death. Fusheng is a gift from mom to you, and she will always be with you. The source code is also left to you, so she will never leave you. With mom's love, you will be together forever."
Xi Shu watched the video over and over again before he found that there was a new video at the end, which was recorded not long ago.
He clicked on the video and saw a child wearing a red scarf on the first day of school.
She must have recorded this video while walking towards him.
The video is very short with just a few words.
——"Brother Xiaoshu, don't feel that separation is terrible. Fusheng has been waiting for you since a long, long time ago, and will continue to do so in the future."
