The lights in Pei's small villa were turned off at nine o'clock in the evening.

After all, there are two elementary school students in the family, and they both go to bed early, and Aunt Tao has to get up early every day to prepare breakfast for the children, and she is used to going to bed early.

Pei Libin usually stays up late in the business world to compete in the drinking game, but today he rarely goes home, and he is also busy going to bed early to catch up on sleep.

He just continued to think about whether his son had become better or failed at school, and at the same time he was deeply disturbed and fell asleep in a daze.

……

The clock ticked to ten o'clock in the evening.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Pei Lin pulled the piggy bank.

One of the advantages of being a young master is that when children of the same age are still counting pennies and dimes, his little golden pig is already full of colorful 51s.

The big rooms of the villa are far away, and the sound insulation is also excellent. It is very easy to slip downstairs silently.The rustling of the rain outside added another layer of natural cover.

However, Pei Lin still made a mistake.

He never expected that there would be someone on the first floor.

Under the twilight of the half-open refrigerator door, Tao Xiaoning turned her head with puffed-up cake: "Pot, pot...?"

Pei Lin raised his forehead: "Shh! You don't sleep most of the night, what are you doing here?"

Tao Xiaoning's big eyes were full of innocence: "I, I'm hungry."

hungry?

Today was his father's rare return home. The dinner prepared by Aunt Tao was extremely sumptuous, but the little girl was still not full after so many dishes? ?But thinking about it again, Tao Xiaoning suddenly lost weight when she was 14 years old. Before that, she was indeed a super edible little chubby girl.

Tao Xiaoning: "Hey, he has a good body."

While continuing to stuff the cake into her mouth, she looked at Pei Lin weakly.

Here she is wearing a pink nightdress, while Pei Lin is clearly wearing a serious raincoat and rain boots.Obviously sneaking out of the dress.

but!

She looked out the window, it's the middle of the night now!It's so dark outside and it's raining...

Pei Lin: "You continue to eat, pretend you haven't seen me, and don't say a word."

Tao Xiaoning was frightened and shook her head desperately.

How about that?She dare not hide such a big matter from her parents!

Pei Lin's gray eyes approached him: "You are obedient today, and I will take care of you from now on. I will treat you as your elder brother and have breakfast with you and teach you to do your homework. Is there a deal?"

Tao Xiaoning: "..."

What to do, she was moved!

She really wanted Brother Pei Lin to take care of her all the time!

……

Now that the refrigerator was open, Pei Lin took a bag of Aunt Tao's special square egg rolls from it.

After a while in the taxi, he opened the bag and tasted a piece.

Full of milk fragrance, finely chopped scallions, and excellent salty-sweet ratio, Aunt Tao's cooking skills are really good all the time, even better than in memory.

He thought of the years when he ate her food in his previous life.

Then he lowered his eyes and continued to eat.He ate slowly, carefully noting every subtle taste of the egg roll.

To live again, he vowed not to be insensitive, but to try his best to feel everything in life.

He is trying.

For example, today he paid attention to the cute bunny hanging on Tao Xiaoning's pink pajamas, and he also noticed the print of the little yellow duck on his transparent raincoat.

Maybe it's all meaningless.

Just the minutiae of life.It doesn't matter if you write it down, it doesn't matter if you forget it, it's useless.

But who knows?

Perhaps these silent and ordinary bits and pieces of moistening things are "life" itself.

Maybe when everything in his previous life ended, the last thing he wanted to recall was not the grandeur, but the color of the beautiful umbrella in his childhood.

driver:"……"

When he picked people up and got into the car, he didn't really think much about it.At most, it flashed for a second, where did the child's parents go, what a big thought.

But when he drove further, there was a section of street lights that were broken, and it was pitch black. The more he turned on the lights, the more creepy he felt.

If you think about it carefully, there is a hospital at one end of this road and a city funeral home at the other end.

In the middle of the night, a little boy got on the car from the suburbs, and his destination was a hospital. He was dressed in white, and his appearance was too correct, not like an ordinary child.

Worse still, it was on and on, and the boy suddenly took a yellow, square, thin thing and started eating.No matter how the driver looked at it, he felt that what the boy ate was like the cheapest yellow paper money when burning paper.

"Little, kid..."

"Ok?"

"What are you doing in the middle of the night, going to the hospital?"

"Oh, pick someone up."

Pick up, pick up, pick up who?Coming from the crematorium in white clothes in the middle of the night to pick up people from the hospital? ? ?

The master's voice was probably trembling, and the boy said in a deep voice, "Master, don't be nervous, it's fine, just keep driving."

master:"……"

He just regrets it now.His wife bought him a car decoration to ward off evil spirits a while ago, he thought it was too ugly and didn't put it on.No, he should have!

The master tremblingly drove the car to the hospital.

After collecting the money, I didn't dare to look at it for a long time, until I got home and showed it to my wife——huh, it's not Mingbi, thank God, then he can feel relieved!

Scared to death. Scared to death.

……

Pei Lin returned to the hospital and spent time looking for seth for a while.

In his imagination, when he finds Seth, Seth is probably eating a hot cup of noodles, or he has borrowed a pillow and quilt from the nurse for a long time and is sleeping comfortably.

An adult does not need to continue performing when there are no one watching.

but.

When Pei Lin found Seth, he was alone in the dark stairwell.

Holding your knees, like a small mushroom in a dark corner.

His eyes were red, and he looked weak and cold, trembling slightly.Seeing Pei Lin, he didn't show any surprise. Instead, he just glanced at Pei Lin, then turned his head and buried his knees again.

It's like a kitten licking its wound with tears alone after suffering so much heartache and grievance.

Pei Lin: "..."

He went down the stairs and sat down beside Huo Xiuxun.

It was dark all around.

For a moment, his shoulders sank.

Huo Xiuxun leaned against him, and at the same time, big drops of tears fell down, as if he didn't want money.

Pei Lin recalled a scene in his previous life——

It was also in elementary school, once he was on duty with Huo Xiuxun after school.

The other students had left, and there were only the two of them left in the classroom. As the sun was setting, Huo Xiuxun's uncle came to the school.

After Huo Xiuxun's parents left, it was this uncle who took care of him in name, but actually just managed to find a place for him to live in, and usually hated him to death.

That day, my uncle obviously drank too much and smelled of alcohol.

He broke into the classroom and slapped Huo Xiuxun hard on the face, asking Huo Xiuxun for the money his mother left him.

He mouthed one "little bastard" and yelled that I would be annoyed when I saw you, if it wasn't for money, who would take care of you!Where is the money?If you don't have money, you still have the face to eat and drink from me, why don't you die?

You said, what are you doing alive? If you drag your mother down, and now you drag me down again, don't you know?Your mother has already found you a rich new father in other places!Go and ask me for money from your new father, let me go!

Half of Huo Xiuxun's face was swollen.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his lips, angry, wronged, ashamed, with red eyes and trembling all over.

But even though he was breathing intermittently several times, he still gritted his teeth hard to prevent himself from crying.

In his previous life, Huo Xiuxun never cried.

Don't cry even if you die, you can hold back even the biggest grievances.

How is it now?

The boy choked with his forehead against Pei Lin's shoulder: "I knew...I knew you would come back to pick me up."

"you are the best."

"Brother Pei Lin is the best."

"But I'm still terrified."

"Brother Pei Lin, stay with me and stay by my side. Don't leave me alone again, okay?"

Professor Pei: "..."

He just took off his raincoat, and his shoulders should have been dry, but they were completely wet with tears.

Huo Xiuxun pushed forward, rubbing his head against his shoulder, while greedily wrapping his whole arm into his arms with both hands.

Let go once in the middle, it was very cold, he picked up a large coat to wrap around him and Pei Lin.

Then he wrapped his arms around his arms again, like a lost child who found his home.

Pei Lin: "..."

The criminals are arrogant, neither bowing to the rogue uncle nor pretending to be pitiful with the nurse sister.

The criminals only pretended to be pitiful with him.

Should he be honored?
