Orange Fruit
"Where is Shunan?" Bai Shunnian went home for dinner in the evening, but didn't see Bai Shunan. He put down his bowl and chopsticks, and at this time he still asked his parents with a smile.
"Why aren't you talking?" Bai Shunnian looked at his silent parents. After realizing something was wrong, he got up and searched the house, but couldn't find Bai Shunan. An answer suddenly popped up in his mind. Thinking of this possibility, his face turned pale and he wanted to cry, "Did you lose him?"
"It's not lost. I sent him to an orphanage." The father took a bite of rice and said indifferently.
Bai Shunnian burst into tears and shouted, "How could you do this? He's Shunan, he's yours..."
"You're not a child anymore," his father interrupted harshly. He threw down his chopsticks, assumed a commanding posture, and glared fiercely at Bai Shunnian. "You must know what's going on in our family."
This time, he failed to scare Bai Shunnian. Instead, he received a look of hatred from Bai Shunnian. He roared in anger, "Is it still our family without Shunan?"
With a "bang", Bai Shunnian ran out, and the door slammed shut, shaking off some wall dust.
The father pretended to be calm and picked up the bowl that Bai Shunnian had dropped, as if he wanted to find a door to run out. "Look at your son..."
"Why don't you chase after him? You lost one and you want to lose the second one!"
The father looked at the mother, and their eyes met, and they were speechless.
The bowl fell again and he picked it up again. He had to move on as if nothing had happened. He couldn't just leave the bowl on the ground.
Bai Shunnian didn't know how long he ran, but he felt relieved until he saw Bai Shunan sitting on the swing with his head down. Just as he was about to go forward, his hurried steps stopped. At that moment, he thought of his current home, and suddenly felt that this might be good for Shunan.
"Little boy, what are you doing here? Where are your parents?"
A kind voice made him retreat. Bai Shunnian looked up at the loving smile on the face of the strange woman in front of him. He hadn't seen such an expression on his mother's face for a long time. Thinking of his mother, his nose felt sore and his tears had dried up on the way here. He really wanted to run away like this, run away from home and leave everything behind.
Because of this voice, Bai Shunan looked up and saw Bai Shunnian. He laughed, jumped off the swing, and ran towards Bai Shunnian with a face full of joy, holding up the half-eaten candied haws. He shouted, "Brother."
Bai Shunnian had no way to retreat. He picked up Bai Shunan and said to the aunt, "I'm here to find my brother. I'm taking him back."
On the way back, Bai Shunan waved the string of candied haws in front of Bai Shunnian, his eyes sincere as if he was offering something precious, "Brother, this half is for you."
Bai Shunnian found Bai Shunan. When he returned to the dilapidated and narrow home, he once again asked himself whether bringing Bai Shunan back was really for his own good and whether it was really right.
He looked at Bai Shunan's smiling face, feeling extremely confused. He looked around and saw his mother untangling a tangled ball of wool in the distance, and his father pasting newspapers on the windows. Bai Shunan's heart was so shaken at this moment. This was the first time he denied his decision.
When the fierce cold wind blew into the house, the mother followed the wind to find the leak. When she found a small window, she did not tell them her discovery in a kind tone as usual. She just stood there in silence. She was so busy with silence that she forgot to close the window, forgot her coldness, and forgot what to do. The only sound in the lonely house was the sound of the wind blowing in from outside. Everyone seemed to be still at this time, keeping silent tacitly, including him. At this time, he realized that he was wrong. He now hated the parents he once loved so much. Then, would he also hate Shunan in the future?
The moment the thought came to Bai Shunnian, he broke out in a cold sweat. Just thinking about it, he didn't dare to look at Bai Shunan again. He put Bai Shunan down as if he had dropped a heavy burden, only to realize what a terrible monster the unpredictable future was.
He wanted to send Bai Shunan back there, not because it was so good there.
Bai Shunnian began to doubt all the choices he had made, even to the point of doubting himself, and even began to wonder, what if he were not himself.
He celebrated his tenth birthday at the age of nine, which was also an early welcome to growing up.
The winter of that year was exceptionally cold. Even compared with all the other winters Bai Shunnian had experienced in his life, even compared with the winter when he almost froze to death, he still thought that this winter was the coldest and most unbearable.
Bai Shunnian finally ate for a long time, until his tongue became sore, before he finished the string of candied haws.
Shunan looked at his home with his big dark eyes and felt that everyone was like the orange tree.
…
Li Xuanyue sat back in her chair. Just as she was about to throw the script on the table, she thought of the screenwriter Ah Hua. She placed the script on the table, her expression revealing deep fatigue. Ah Hua sat beside her, revising the script, also looking exhausted.
Li Xuanyue rubbed her hands. She looked at Bai Shunan and smiled, but her anger grew even stronger. She pouted and said unhappily, "What kind of dramas have you acted in?"
Bai Shunan read out some movie titles.
Li Xuanyue's expression changed slightly after hearing this. She straightened up a little. A boy with such a cold appearance had acted in many cult movies. This contrast made Li Xuanyue slightly click the corner of the chair, and the corners of her mouth raised a little. The smile was light, but the hint of being piqued was strong. "Not bad."
It is undeniable that even when she is unkempt, Li Xuanyue's beauty cannot be ignored. Her face is cold and beautiful, but at the same time, she has a gentle beauty. She usually looks serious, which inevitably hides her warmth and gives her an aloof arrogance that makes strangers approach her. Coupled with her weird and unpredictable personality, she has become a majestic and frightening presence in the crew, who can easily increase people's pressure. Even when she laughs heartily, it is difficult for people to feel friendly to her. For this reason, the atmosphere in her crew is always too depressing.
At this moment, her exploratory tone was too strong, and the aggressive aura that was difficult to conceal was revealed, which often made people feel uncomfortable as if their boundaries were violated. Li Xuanyue turned her head and whispered a few words to Ahua.
Ah Hua frowned and looked up at Bai Shunan. Just one glance and most of her inherent prejudices disappeared. When she first saw Bai Shunan, she couldn't help but be attracted by his unique temperament. He gave her a feeling of winter, a winter with snow falling at night.
Bai Shunan has a clean face, with two or three moles scattered on his face, all of which are just right. His skin color is not too white, which makes his facial features more three-dimensional, with clear contours and a smoothness of their own. None of his facial features are particularly outstanding when taken individually, but they are not mediocre either, and are pleasing to the eye in their own way.
Really, President! Ah Hua discarded her previous displeased look and looked straight at Bai Shunan's whole face. She just felt that he was extremely handsome. Although he was without makeup, with unkempt hair and conventional clothes, one could still see a delicate and exquisite feeling on his face. Every casual glance and smile had its own flavor. The unique and light and aloof temperament always emanated from the inside out inadvertently, shrouded in complex mystery, unique in its own way, and gave people the first impression of wisdom and calmness.
Bai Shunan had been stared at for so long that his sleepiness had long since faded away. His eyes gradually became focused, and his overall expression did not change much, but he suddenly became more stubborn, which made people feel his determination and get a glimpse of his past. Due to his own temperament and appearance, this determination was also restrained, but in that instant, the warm water turned into bland boiled water.
In just a few seconds, his face showed a bit of seriousness, and people subconsciously believed that he could accomplish anything, and even easily developed a blind trust in him. After Ah Hua noticed this, she found that Bai Shunan had the kind of attraction that made people believe and be fascinated unconsciously, and this kind of attraction has always been extremely deceptive.
Not like Qi Ci, but more like Yun Cen.
She thought secretly.
