"Dad! Mom!"
Bai Shixuejian took two steps at a time and threw herself into the arms of the two men, hugged them with open arms and cried hysterically. Tears kept falling from her face, soaking their shoulders.
"I really miss you guys. Please don't leave me, okay? I will be very good and I will never be willful again."
"I don't want to eat instant noodles, I don't want to live in a basement, I don't want to sit in an electric car in the rain. I want to go home. Go home."
The mother, who was a little angry at first, felt her heart melt when she saw her daughter crying like this. She kept trying to comfort her, "What's wrong with you, kid? You were so willful just now, and now you're crying again."
"Mom was wrong just now, please stop crying. Your face won't look good if it's covered with tears."
"Look at this little cat. If you keep crying I'll take a picture."
Bai Shi's father took out a rare touch-screen phone and took several photos of Bai Shi Xue Jian. This behavior caused his mother to twist his waist fiercely and scolded: "Xue Jian is crying like this and you are still taking photos. Is there any father like you?"
"Didn't you just tell me to play the villain, too?"
"Is this how you dress up as a bad guy? You have to comfort a crying child."
"Okay, if you keep crying, Dad will prick you with his beard, come on, come on."
"Are you childish?"
"Then daddy will let you ride on him."
The two tried their best to comfort Bai Shi Xue Jian, but the more they did so, the louder the other cried, and the more sad she cried. Because you know how to cherish because you have lost something, and you feel sad because you know you can't go back.
In the future, the two of them will divorce for their own reasons. The father will marry a woman from the Cui family to form a new family and have a son of the Shenzhou family. The mother will also return to her hometown to marry a stranger and give birth to a new daughter.
As for Shiraishi Xuejian, she only had a childhood sweetheart who was still in a coma, and now all she had was gone.
After crying for half an hour, Bai Shixue felt tired and lay in her mother's arms, feeling her hands patting her back. She was so sleepy that her eyelids began to droop, but every time she closed her eyes, she would open them out of fear, look at her mother, and lie down again.
Seeing her like this, her mother chuckled and said, "Are you still afraid that I won't want you?"
Shiraishi didn't answer but just hugged his mother tighter.
In the evening, his father invited a chef to prepare a sumptuous dinner for them. Shiraishi ate very happily and almost finished half of the food on the table, with his stomach full.
Suddenly Bai Shixuejian said, "Mom and Dad, let me cook you a bowl of noodles."
The parents were surprised, because their daughter had never cooked or even tried to cook. Shiraishi's mother said it harshly, but in daily life she held her daughter in her hands for fear of dropping her and holding her in her mouth for fear of melting, and she never let her daughter cook.
Besides, most of the time, the cooking was done by the maids in their house, and my mother seldom cooked herself.
The two looked at each other, then showed some anticipation, smiled and nodded: "Go."
Bai Shi Xuejian walked into the open kitchen at home and took out the noodles from the refrigerator that shouldn't be in this house. This was the most she had eaten in the past ten years, a bundle of noodles at the supermarket for three yuan.
Boil the water, put in half a fist-sized bowl of noodles, then pour in salt, oil and some soy sauce. Boil over high heat for five minutes, and serve the steaming noodles.
Shiraishi's parents looked at the bowl of noodles, which might be the shabbiest food they had ever eaten.
Bai Shixue's cheeks were rosy, her mouth was upturned, revealing two rows of white teeth, and she said with a smile: "Mom and Dad, thank you for raising me for 18 years. My daughter is doing well now. I hope you are in good health and everything goes well."
Then she fell to her knees with a thud and kowtowed three times.
Boom boom boom!
The heavy voice fell, and the parents who had stood up to stop him were frozen in place. At this moment, they left this strange dream, and a trace of memory was restored, and a little clarity appeared in their eyes.
The two men's eyes gradually turned red, and their chests felt blocked as if a huge rock was pressing down on them.
"Xuejian."
Bai Shixue Jianjing stood up again, bowed solemnly again, and said: "My daughter is gone, please take care of yourself."
After doing all this, she turned around and ran out of the house, leaving her parents looking at the noodles on the table, covering their faces and crying.
The girl in the blue and white school uniform was already running towards the gate of the villa area. She was running in the city, the neon lights shining on her loose school uniform and her childish face, and her high ponytail fluttering in the wind.
In the prime of youth, full of youth.
While running, Bai Shi Xuejian took out her cell phone from her pocket and dialed the only number in her address book.
Beep beep beep
"Hey Shiraishi."
A clear boy's voice came out, with a hint of doubt and happiness.
Bai Shi Xue Jian yelled into the phone: "Fake Taoist priest, I like you! Bai Shi Xue Jian likes you!"
She spoke loudly, not caring about the passers-by at all. Because the fake Taoist priest was far away from her, she was afraid that he would not understand her, and because Li Yi was even farther away from her, so far that her voice could not reach her.
The speed of sound is 340 meters per second. The fake Taoist priest said it ten years ago, and Li Yi said it five thousand years ago.
She is like a rocket launched by humans to search for extraterrestrial civilizations, which can never catch up with the light and is running for something that no one knows when it will be found.
“Me, me.”
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while. The boy's voice could hardly conceal his excitement, but in the end, for some reason, he swallowed back the words that were about to come out.
"Why are you talking about this suddenly? Didn't we agree to talk about this after we pass the entrance exam to the Imperial Capital?"
"Because you didn't take the college entrance exam, because you missed your appointment, and because you're a jerk! A complete jerk!"
Bai Shixuejian stopped, squatted on the ground, and shouted in a broken voice with tears: "Because you won't like me after ten years, Li Yi, you bastard, you big liar, I will kill you!!!"
By the way, the author knows that many people dislike adding another female protagonist, and I considered cutting out Bai Shi at first. But after thinking about it, I decided to write it because she is the most important part of Li Yi's life.
Bai Shi is the light that Li Yi once pursued, the white moonlight that he never dared to speak out loud.
Everyone has a youth. I was once a shy boy pretending to be strong.
