cousin

I remember, when I saw Yining sitting at my door waiting for me, she was only 17 years old that year.She was wearing a wrinkled white shirt with some mud stains.A slender white and slender arm was exposed from the high rolled-up cuffs, covered with shocking welts.She lowered her head, her broken hair softly pressed against the crest of her neck, and the curtain of hair on her forehead covered her eyes.Hearing footsteps, she raised her head.

For a moment, my mind was completely taken away by her eyes.Her eyes are as pure and innocent as a child's, yet so stubborn, with a little indifference that rejects people thousands of miles away, and a little bit of kindness and warmth.

"You are..." Before I could say it, she called me "cousin".

"Yi...Yining?!" I called out uncertainly.She nodded.

"Why did you make it like this? You got into a fight with someone? Come in!" I hurriedly opened the door, and all the vegetables in my hand fell to the ground.

Yining shook his head, reached out to pick up the fallen vegetables, and followed me into my room without saying a word.

"How did you find me? I remember that you lived with your aunt and uncle. After you moved away, we lost contact!" I actually sympathized with my cousin. Her parents died when she was 12 years old. Died in a car accident, she was entrusted to her aunt to raise her.Looking at her current appearance, it seems that life is not going to be easy.

"I saw you near our school two days ago, and then I called you, but you didn't hear me. I inquired for a long time today, and I found out here." Yining answered me while putting the dishes into the kitchen.

"By the way, how did you get your injuries?" I asked with concern.

"Uncle hit Luo." She said lightly.

"He hits you often?" I gasped.

"Not often," Yining looked at my surprised face and replied cautiously.

I know she's lying, but I don't want to expose her, because I know she has good intentions and doesn't want me to worry too much.

I casually asked, "Would you like to eat at my place tonight?"

"You see, I came to you penniless, and any fool would know that I'm here to make money!" Yining smiled heartlessly.

"Then let's make braised fish! I remember that you liked this dish the most when you were young! I just bought fresh fish today." I smiled and said to Yining, "I still remember that you once ate fish and was caught The fishbone got stuck in my throat, and I cried for a long time!"

After Yining heard this, she hurriedly beat her chest and stamped her feet: "You actually saw such a shameful thing, and you actually remembered it. My whole life's fame has been ruined by you!"

"It's okay, if you eat a few more pieces of fish later, it's a bribe to me! I won't say it!" I smiled mischievously.

"Cousin, you are still as cute as when you were a child! I thought you would become as serious as an old lady after working!"

"Me? Cute?" I suddenly remembered that I hadn't smiled for a long time when I was working.I complained: "What's more, you were so naughty when you were young, just like a boy, you knew that I was afraid of firecrackers, but you were only four years old, and you chased me all over the yard with firecrackers!"

"Wow! I didn't expect you to hold vengeance so much. Have you recorded all the embarrassing things about me when I was a child, waiting for revenge!" Yining exclaimed pretending to be surprised.

I also imitated her tone and said loudly: "Yes! Now I am going to carry out my revenge plan! You, go take a shower right away, change your clothes and apply medicine, and I will cook. Do you understand?"

"Cousin, don't you want me? Can I cook for you?" Yining begged.

I pulled my face: "No discussion!"

In the end, when I finished cooking, I found that Yining still didn't take a bath.

"What's wrong?" I asked her.

"I'm hungry, and I'm afraid I'll faint in the shower, so I want to eat before taking a shower."

"Xiao Mian, you're quite thoughtful!" I laughed.

When I was eating, I carefully removed the bones of the braised fish before putting them in Yining's bowl. "Cousin..." Yining's eyes suddenly became misty.

"What's wrong?" I asked worriedly, "Is the injury too serious? Does the wound hurt? Do you want to go to the hospital?"

"No, it's just... I remembered my mother. I used to eat fish, and my mother would help me remove the bones of the fish."

"Oh," I didn't know what to say for a while, so I just said, "Yining, everything will be fine in the future."

"En." She agreed softly.

After eating, Yining still dawdled and refused to take a bath.I suddenly found that the clothes on her back were torn a lot, and there was a little blood oozing out.

"Yining, take off your clothes and let me see."

"No!" Yining's face was full of panic.

I "Huo" tore Yining's clothes, and found several deep wounds criss-crossing on her back, the skin was torn apart.
