A plate of Xiao Long Bao

The National Day holiday ended soon, and Li Yu submitted a dormitory application to the school. It took three days for the application to come down, and Li Yu's accommodation became a problem during these three days.

Wen Xin lives in the dormitory, and he is the only one in the double dormitory. Li Bai disagrees with Li Yu living alone at home, saying it is too dangerous, and children will be arrested by the bad guys if they are alone at home.

Li Yu was dissatisfied: "Didn't I live alone during your 'business trip'? Why weren't you afraid that I would be arrested at that time?"

"It's different," Li Bai said, "It's different, Xiaoyu, this time my mother can't go home to see you, what if something happens to you alone?"

Li Yu's eyes were sore, he turned his back and said harshly, "You can arrange it."

Li Bai turned his head to look at Wen Xin: "How long does it take to get the application for living in school?"

Wen Xin said: "The application for living in school can only be done the day after tomorrow. It is best for him to live with his relatives for these two days."

Li Bai hesitated for a moment, then said softly to Li Yu: "Xiao Yu, would you like to live at my aunt's house for a few days?"

Li Yu heard the words and whispered: "They won't welcome me, why should I go there?"

"Li Yu," Li Bai said, "we don't have any other relatives here, if it doesn't work, we can live in your father... in his house! Which one do you choose?"

Li Yu clenched his fists and said word by word: "Impossible!"

Wen Xin withdrew and gently closed the door.

Half an hour later, Li Yu opened the door and came out.Holding the phone tightly in his hand, he gestured for Wen Xin to go in, and went to the tea room with the phone.

Wen Xin knocked on the door politely: "Aunt Li?"

"Come in," Li Bai leaned against the head of the bed, "These days... I'm sorry to trouble you."

Wen Xin shook his head: "Mother often mentions you, it's nothing to be busy, just say what you have to say."

"Then I won't be polite, please take care of Li Yu at school," Li Bai sighed, "I'm too busy, I don't have time to take care of him, even the parent-teacher meeting is held by an assistant. I have had a few babysitters, but Xiaoyu doesn’t even let them in. He doesn’t like to eat snacks, play games, or go out to play. He just likes to sit in the yard and watch the bus. He has never asked for a toy since he was a child , I had to force the phone to him, and he was willing to ask for it.”

"You and...his father"

Li Bai did not avoid this topic, "Xiao Yu always thought that the reason why I divorced that person was because of him."

"no?"

"No," Li Bai said, "I've had that idea for a long time, and I can't say it has nothing to do with Xiao Yu."

"You should have told him." Wen Xin was thoughtful, "but he probably wouldn't believe it."

"Yeah, he doesn't believe it."

Wen Xin was a little puzzled, "If this is the case, it stands to reason that Li Yu's grades should not be particularly good...but he..."

"Yes," Li Bai took a deep breath, "Xiao Yu's grades were really not very good when she was in elementary school, and she was always in the bottom few. But when she just got divorced, the company suffered a lot of losses. At that time, I worked overtime every night. Once when Xiao Yu came to see me, I fainted."

"At that time..." She choked up as she spoke, "At that time, Xiaoyu asked me how I could stop working like this...I said...as long as you study hard...you can protect your mother when you grow up. "

Wen Xin lowered his eyes, as if he had traveled through the long river of time, saw that immature little boy, and seemed to have heard his promise to his mother with his own ears. He said in a low but firm voice, "I will take good care of him."

In the tea room of the hospital, Li Yu hung up the phone and stood by the window looking at the garden with people coming and going.

"Li Yu?" Wen Xin pushed the door open and came in.

"Huh?" Li Yu turned her head, although there was no difference on the face, but her voice was nasal, obviously she had cried.

Wen Xin walked over: "Are you done talking?"

Li Yu said "um", and forced a smile, "It's over at night, what did my mother tell you?"

Seeing Li Yu with a forced smile, Wen Xin sighed, "A person told me... Ah Heng told me that he likes to smile at everyone, because there is no one who doesn't like to laugh."

"What the hell," Li Yu sneered, "Your words are illogical."

"It's just not finished," Wen Xin smiled slightly, "Let's go, I'll accompany you to get your luggage."

"Okay," Wen Xin took the suitcase out of the car, "Go in, see you at school tomorrow."

"Oh." Li Yu answered absently.

Wen Xin saw that he was out of his mind, fearing that he would cause trouble again, he grabbed the luggage again, "Go, I'll take you to dinner."

"Ah? What are you doing?" Li Yu looked down at his empty hand, but didn't react, "What did you just say?"

"I said," Wen Xin rolled his eyes, "I'll take you to dinner!"

"Oh," Li Yu said with a disinterested expression, "Your treat?"

Wen Xin was annoyed and laughed: "Yes, I'll treat you and take you to eat steamed fish."

Li Yu's eyes lit up, "Okay!"

Because it was not time for dinner, there were not many people in the restaurant, so Wen Xin took Li Yu to a seat by the window and sat down.

The proprietress had a cigarette in her mouth, and the black bird tattoo was exposed on her arm, she looked very unfriendly.

She was skewering mutton kebabs, and she caught a glimpse of someone coming from the corner of her eye, and kicked the dozing person next to her, signaling him to entertain the guests.

But inadvertently raised his head and flicked Liu Hai, saw Wen Xin sitting by the window, immediately stopped Xiao Liu who was about to go over, took off his gloves to pinch off the cigarette, wiped his hands with his apron, took the menu and went Go to the window.

Although Xiao Liu didn't understand why the proprietress didn't let him go, she didn't ask. It was just right not to let him go, and the dream of rolling on the money mountain just now wasn't over yet.

"That...Xiao Qin." The proprietress was a little embarrassed, and kept wiping her apron unconsciously.

"Boss Feng." Wen Xin called out expressionlessly.

Boss Feng was not displeased, and even asked flatteringly, "This time...is it the same as last time?"

Careful and slightly ingratiating.

Wen Xin said: "Yes, add another steamed fish. You don't need to sprinkle the green onions. You can take out the ginger slices after seasoning. The eggplants in the eggplant peppers don't need the skin, and the celery doesn't need to be fried until fragrant."

Li Yu was a little surprised, he remembered so many taboos?I was also a little worried that the proprietress would be angry when she heard such a strange request, but she didn't expect Boss Feng to hear this request.It seems... relieved?Did he read it right?Is that so?

Then the proprietress went into the back kitchen...

He looked at Wen Xin with eyes of disbelief, two points of shock and seven points of doubt.

Wen Xin took out a piece of paper and wiped the table unhurriedly. Seeing Li Yu's suspicious gaze, he said calmly, "You should remember that I told you that I have a younger sister."

Li Yu nodded, Wen Xin continued, "She's in Los Angeles now, and hasn't returned to China for eight years."

Li Yu: Pupil Earthquake jpg.

"Nine years ago..." Wen Xin hesitated as if he was thinking about how to go on, but he didn't speak for a long time.

Li Yu didn't bother him either, but just stared at the toothpick box on the table, saying that I'll listen to what you say, and don't say it if you don't.

The restaurant was very quiet, only the old-fashioned electric fan was whistling on the wall. The princess was lying on the front desk blowing the wind, and the wind blew the soft hair on the cat's head into a chrysanthemum shape.

The setting sun shot into the room through the west window, dyeing the princess's hair a warm orange.

Wen Xin said: "When I was eight years old, my parents took me to Disneyland in the United States. When I went back, my father went to drive, and my mother waited for my father at the door with us."

He stopped talking, and waited for a long time before opening his mouth, "At that time, my sister wanted to eat the cotton candy across the road. My mother told me to look after my sister and cross the road to buy it for her."

"The cotton candy seller was about to leave, and my mother hurried after him," Wen Xin took a deep breath, "I...I heard a piano piece I had never heard before... holding my sister's hand. That hand...let go...and then...you hear...the horn, the exclamation...and the scream of your sister."

He closed his eyes and held back the tears that were about to overflow, "When I turned around, I saw...the car...a pool of blood...and the one lying on the ground..."

"Stop it!" Li Yu held his hand.

Wen Xin coughed a few times, so frightened that Li Yu even forgot that she couldn't use her left hand, and reached out to get the paper.

And then...the tragedy.

Wen Xin looked at Li Yu who was in pain running around the room, buried his face in his arms and laughed, but at the same time tears welled up in his eyes, and he couldn't stop it.

Boss Feng walked towards them with a plate.

Li Yu immediately stopped jumping, looked at the proprietress who was flattering and smiling towards Wen Xin, then tilted her head to look at Wen Xin who was very indifferent to the proprietress, and vaguely thought of something.

Wen Xin also stopped laughing, took a piece of paper from the table and wiped away the "tears of laughter" and said softly, "Thank you, I'm sorry."

Next, Boss Feng's performance made Li Yu more sure of his thoughts, and she hurriedly said: "No, no, no trouble, just tell me what you want to eat, and I'll make it for you."

Although Wen Xin didn't say anything, Li Yu relied on his rich imagination.I've guessed it all too well - the person who bumped into Wen Xin's sister was either this Boss Feng or her relatives.

Wen Xin started to have a headache again. He originally took Li Yu out to eat to make him not look like someone who lost his soul, but now it's better, and it's more troublesome if he misses it.

"Xiao Yu?" Li Lu, who was watering flowers in the yard, saw his nephew carrying a suitcase, and immediately opened the gate, "Come in, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Li Yu bowed to his aunt, then turned around and gave Wen Xin a hug, and said in a low voice, "Thank you."

Wen Xin raised his eyebrows and hugged him gently: "See you tomorrow."

Li Yu followed his aunt into the door silently, Li Lu said: "Xu'er is not at home, she said she went to Huanhuan's house for dinner, and I don't know what's going on recently, so I want to move out."

Li Yu lowered her head, as if her heart had fallen into an ice cave.

Suddenly there was a "click" sound from upstairs, Li Yu looked up when he heard the sound, and saw the girl upstairs who was holding a mobile phone and smiled lazily at him, "Xu Chi asked me to take a picture of you."

Li Lu smiled and said, "What? If Xu'er tells you to do it, do it?"

"He gave me money," Xiao Ruan said, "Business with integrity."

She waved to Li Yu, "I haven't seen you for a long time, let's go, I'll show you your room."

Li Yu also forced out a smile: "It's only for two days, sorry to trouble you, Ruan Ruan."

Xiao Ruan snatched Li Yu's suitcase: "Thank me for what? Thank you brother for going, your brother gave me money, let me take care of you these two days."

Li Yu twitched the corners of his mouth and didn't speak any more.
