Going out for a midnight snack took some time, and when Wei You entered the game world again, the date had been moved from Christmas Eve to New Year's Eve.
When he first returned home, the house was pitch dark, with only a faint light coming through the crack of the second bedroom door.
Wei You turned on the light in the living room, then walked to the door of the second bedroom and gently pushed it open. He saw Guazi, who looked particularly plump because of the thick cotton-padded jacket and pajamas, lying in front of the desk, doing something attentively.
"Are you still asleep?"
His sudden voice made the boy shudder.
Then he turned around and saw a smile on Wei You's face: "Brother."
"Well, what are you doing? The air conditioner is not on." Wei You walked into the room and turned on the air conditioner.
"Playing with Play-Doh."
"You really like plasticine." Wei You leaned over the table, his eyes swept across the tabletop, and his eyes suddenly widened, "Did you make all of these?"
"Um."
"Wow, that's amazing!" Wei You exclaimed as he picked up a little yellow chick made of plasticine. The chick had a vivid image, active expression, and even the feathers on its wings and tail were portrayed vividly.
In addition, there are piglets, puppies, kittens and rabbits on the table, and each animal is made to be very vivid and cute.
Wei Xu was holding a thin piece of plasticine in his hand, and he said it was clothes for the little rabbit.
Wei You discovered that he had managed to create the wrinkled contours of clothing fabric, and was simply amazed at his hands-on ability.
"Our little Guazi is a little genius in handicrafts!" He put the chick back into the animal enclosure and couldn't stop praising it.
Wei Xu blushed slightly and shook his head modestly: "Actually, I would rather make a brother, but I have tried several times and failed."
"Well... there's no need to mold me." Although Wei You felt that he was very talented at this, molding a person was not something that could be done with plasticine.
"Well, it's almost nine o'clock, aren't you going to bed yet?"
Wei Xu raised his head and said, "Tomorrow is New Year's Day holiday."
"Oh, that's okay," Wei You patted his little head, "You continue to play, I'm going to sleep first."
Speaking of sleeping, Wei You couldn't help yawning. Ever since he was transferred home in the middle of his sleep last time, and then he had a midnight snack and discussed work, he hasn't made up for his sleep until now. Now he feels as tired and sleepy as if he had stayed up all night.
He simply washed up and lay down on the bed, turned off the lights, and his vision immediately fell into darkness.
At this moment, Xia Guangsi's reminder suddenly flashed through his mind.
In the few days before departure, the other party may often organize discussions for everyone, which means that he must temporarily shift his attention to real life.
Moreover, he cannot interrupt his video updates at least once a week just because he has to go out traveling for a while. This is his business and he must prepare in advance.
This means that he needs to record three game videos within ten days and save them for later release.
As a result, his life became even busier, and he only had time to sleep to play games with Guazi.
We will be together less and less in the future, and I don’t know how to explain this to this clingy little guy.
Just as he was worrying, he heard the sound of a door opening. The little clingy kid came to his room again and stood at the corner of the bed, hesitating, waiting for someone to speak first.
Wei You sighed softly, lifted a corner of the quilt and said, "Come up."
Wei Xu immediately climbed onto the bed, got into the quilt, then skillfully grabbed one of Wei You's arms and hugged him with his hands and feet.
Wei You has become accustomed to being treated as a human pillow by him and will no longer try to resist.
I thought that if I had known that the child liked to sleep with him so much, I would not have installed an air conditioner in the next room and saved some money.
"Little boy, brother has something to tell you." After hesitating for a while, Wei You decided to tell him about this as soon as possible so that the child would have some time to accept it.
Wei Xu's heart skipped a beat. Whenever the other party spoke in such a tone, there was basically only one possibility.
He didn't respond, trying to express his resistance in this way.
But Wei You continued: "In the next few years, my brother will be very busy with his work, so he may have less time to accompany you."
It is true.
Wei Xu pursed his lips and unconsciously hugged his arms tighter: "Will you not be back for a long time?"
"Not really. Before you were ten years old, I wasn't that busy. I would come back every ten days or so and stay with you for a while."
"What about after ten years old?"
Wei You answered carefully: "It will probably be even busier. Maybe I can only come back once every two or three months, or even longer."
Wei Xu fell silent.
He didn't have a very specific idea of how long two or three months was, but he knew that a semester was about five months.
A semester is so long. He has to wait half a semester to see his brother once. Wei Xu feels so uncomfortable just thinking about it.
"Then can I call you?" After a long silence, Wei Xu suddenly asked with hope.
He remembered that there was a public phone in the small shop outside the school gate. He could make a call for fifty cents. He sometimes saw his classmates calling their families.
Wei You was in a mixed mood and answered with some difficulty: "I probably won't be able to answer it."
Wei Xu fell completely silent, even his breathing became quieter, and the whole room suddenly became extremely quiet.
After a moment, Wei You felt warm liquid wetting his sleeves.
"Crying again?"
Wei Xu sniffed and said nothing.
Wei You turned sideways and looked at the blurry profile in the darkness, and said in a low voice: "Didn't I tell you that I will come back to accompany you after a while? At least this year, maybe half a year in total, I will be here to accompany you."
Wei Xu swallowed the sour emotions that kept rising up, raised his hand to wipe away his tears, and said: "I will wait for you."
"You don't have to wait for me all the time." Wei You was very worried that he would lose his life because of this, so he said softly, "I hope you can put more thought into the things you like, make more friends, and friends like Du Shao who are lively and cheerful are good. After school, you can play with plasticine, or watch your favorite anime. During the holidays, you can go out and play with friends and classmates more often. Of course, you can't fall behind in your studies. In short, you have to live a fulfilling life..."
Wei Xu shook his head and said stubbornly with a thick crying voice: "I will wait for you."
"Okay, you can wait for me, but promise me that you will be happy when I'm not around."
Wei Xu sniffed hard: "Hmm."
"My dear, you didn't wipe your snot on my clothes, did you?"
Wei Xu burst into laughter, bent his body and buried his head in his waist, and answered sullenly: "No."
"That's fine. Do you want paper?"
"Um."
Wei You reached out to the bedside, pulled out a few pieces of paper, put them into the quilt and handed them to him, then stroked his soft hair and said, "Okay, you can go to sleep after crying. Tomorrow is New Year's Day. Think about where you want to go, and I will take you there tomorrow."
Wei Xu wiped away his tears silently, stretched out his arms to hug Wei You's waist, and pressed his entire chest against his body, as if this would allow him to be closer to him.
