Mr. Xu's Sunny Boy

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"The thing I hate the most in my life is chocolate, but the year my parents had a car accident, I ate half a box. The winter of that year was especially cold, my body was cold, and my heart was cold. When my parents were still alive, every New Year's Eve , we all get together as a family to eat the first hot pot meal of the year, for the prosperity of the new year.

It's a pity that I don't have the opportunity to sit down and eat hot pot with my family of four. "

Ling Yang likes sweets, but what he hates the most is chocolate.That sweet and dizzying taste is as annoying to him as it is to force a child to take bitter medicine.

Ling Yang has only voluntarily eaten chocolate three times in his life.

The first time was when he and Ling Yue went to the police station to retrieve the relics of their parents after the car accident.When the policeman handed Ling Yang the scattered half-box of blood-soaked chocolates and a card with "I'm sorry".

He tore off the sticky candy wrappers, and stuffed chocolates one after another into his mouth like crazy without hesitation.The viscous chocolate seems to be mixed with a thick bloody smell, melting in the mouth.

He forced himself to swallow the chocolate in his mouth abruptly, and then vomited it out uncomfortably. The feeling of nausea and nausea was overwhelming in his body, and there was also a strong sense of dizziness.

It was as if a big stone had been crushed on his chest, and he couldn't breathe.He didn't know how he felt when he saw the half box of chocolates.

No one listened to him explaining anything seriously, but they believed it afterwards; he obviously hated eating chocolate, but his parents bought Ling Yue's favorite chocolate to comfort him...

He admits he was a little jealous when he saw the chocolate and the card.

But these are not important!

It doesn't matter how wronged he is!These little things...whatever it is!

But for this kind of thing... just for this kind of thing...

It was the first time Ling Yang cried in front of Ling Yue. He half knelt on the ground, tightly clutching the card in his hand, and weeping bitterly.

After crying, under Ling Yue's worried gaze, he picked up the scattered candy wrappers one by one.He went through the formalities in silence.

Ling Yue broke into the warm sunshine with her face full of tears.

...

After the winter vacation, Ling Yang followed Xu Zhidu back to his hometown.Ling Yue found a job at a nearby milk tea shop.

Ling Yang understands her feelings, after all, that place carries too many memories.Standing in the living room, he seemed to be able to see the projection of the family life in the past.

Every year when the Chinese New Year is approaching, Dad will prepare a large table of dishes.Every year Ling's mother knits scarves for the siblings, with different patterns every year.

During the Chinese New Year last year, they had a big family gathering together to eat hot pot, but this year he was the only one left in the house during the Chinese New Year.

At night, Ling Yang sat alone in the living room with his knees hugged. What was he doing at this time last year?watch TV?eat hot pot?Or run noisy with Ling Yue to Xu Zhidu's house?he does not know.

"I don't dare to stay here anymore." He said to himself in his heart.

...

After the death of Ling's parents, Xu Zhidu never saw Ling Yang smile again.

When he mentioned to Ling Yang that he wanted to go back for the New Year, he followed him back without hesitation.They came back at two o'clock in the afternoon, but until it got dark, Xu Zhidu didn't see any lights from the house next door.

Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and went downstairs to Ling Yang's house.

The door was ajar and unlocked, and Ling Yang was sitting in the living room in a daze with his upper body in a thin sweater hugging his knees.

"Hey! Ling Yang! Look at me!" Xu Zhidu shook his shoulders and called him several times before Ling Yang came back to his senses, his eyes slowly focusing on Xu Zhidu's face.

"Go, I'll take you to my house." Xu Zhidu didn't care whether he agreed or not, he just picked him up and walked away.As soon as he picked him up, he frowned.

How much did he lose weight?I was already thin, but now I hold it lightly in my hand, without any weight at all.
