Mr. Xu's Sunny Boy

Xu Zhidu has been sitting beside Ling Yang's bed, he has not woken up, and fell asleep in a daze.Occasionally, a few sleepy words burst out of his mouth.

He slept restlessly.

In fact, during the first period, Ling Yang's pillow was wet every night, but he told himself to cry you during the day, at least not in front of Ling Yue.

His parents are gone, he can no longer be cowardly, otherwise what will Ling Yue do.

Xu Zhidu knew that he was feeling bad, and it hadn't been long since his mother passed away, so he was always feeling bad.

Xu Zhidu's mother was very ill.People who are normally in good health fell ill as soon as they said they were sick, and Xu Zhidu thought it was a nightmare if he died within two weeks from his illness.

During that time he asked for leave and stayed in the hospital all day.When he heard that Ling Yang's parents had an accident, he was too busy to take care of himself.He watched his mother's rapid paleness every day.Occasionally, when his mother fell asleep, he sat on the edge of the bed like this, thinking about the life of a family of three before, but it was just thinking about it.

Although not much older than Ling Yang, he is much more mature than Ling Yang.

At that time, he looked at his mother's face every day, thinking about how much suffering a person could bear.Thinking about how the world is always so cruel, I like to take away the most important things from a person.

...

Ling Yang slept until early in the morning, and Xu Zhidu was sitting next to him holding a book.Looking tired, seeing that he woke up, he immediately put down the book in his hand.

"Are you awake?" Xu Zhidu touched his forehead with a slightly cool hand, "I still have a fever, if you want to sleep, you can sleep for a while."

Ling Yang shook his head and got up from the bed, "Brother Xu, have you...didn't sleep all night?"

Xu Zhidu gave him a contemptuous look, "Do I look like that kind of person?"

"..."

Although he denied it, the blood in his eyes was real.Ling Yang curled his lips and ignored him.

"Sleep a little longer, you caught a cold yesterday and had a fever, and you muttered in your sleep most of the night." Xu Zhidu stood up and stretched himself.

Ling Yang's voice was so soft that it was difficult to hear clearly, and the genuine sadness could not be concealed in his voice, "I dreamed about my parents yesterday...I thought...they were blaming me...don't want me anymore .”

Xu Zhidu patted him on the head, "They only have you as their son, how could you be willing?"

Ling Yang laughed again, after that accident he seldom smiled, but in the past, he was always a teenager who didn't know what to worry about, and laughed like a fool all day long.

The next second a finger poked his face, Ling Yang was stunned, and heard Xu Zhidu teasing him: "I found that you have dimples whether you are smiling or curling your lips, a big man, what dimples do you want, what do you sell?" sweet..."

Ling Yang smiled happily, "You are jealous, you want it yet!"

"I don't want such a sissy look!"

"..."

.......

On the fourth day, Ling Yue came back.It is said that the shopkeeper's wife is about to give birth because of her part-time job, and the boss gave her a vacation.It's boring to be alone.

Xu Zhidu knew that she was worried about Ling Yang.

Although Ling Yue is a younger sister, she matured too early, perhaps because of her nature, or perhaps because Ling Yang is too naive and childish.He often felt that the siblings were born in the wrong order, and Ling Yue should be the older sister.

Xu Zhidu thought she would celebrate the new year with them, but Ling Yue didn't. On the fifth day after she came back, she said that the little sister who usually had a good time with her had signed up for a tour group at home, and she also paid the money, please sign up, and she has to follow. I went out to play for a while, and never came back during the Chinese New Year.

Ling Yang originally wanted to go together, but Ling Yue insisted on refusing, saying that he was annoying.

The day before going back, Ling Yue went to the cemetery once, knelt down and burned papers for her parents for a long time.

She smoothed the paper money one by one and threw them into the fire, her fingers trembling unconsciously.She had grown up a lot overnight, and she had secretly complained about Ling Yang in her heart, but she knew it was not her brother's fault.

Although she didn't show it on the surface, she felt extremely uncomfortable in her heart. She tried her best to keep herself busy, but when she was free, she would unconsciously think about the past.The longer she stayed here, the more those happy memories flooded into her mind.She dare not spend the New Year here.

Her cheeks were reddened by the brazier. Looking at the photo on the tombstone, she let out a choked sob, "Dad... Mom... Don't worry, we will take care of ourselves."

Ling Yue knelt in front of the tombstone for a long time, just like Ling Yang, talking about many things in the past.

In fact, the brothers and sisters of the Ling family are all alike.

It was almost noon when she stood up with difficulty and went back.

...

After Ling Yue left, Xu Zhidu and Ling Yang also started to prepare for the New Year. They had to store up enough food for the few days of the New Year.Ling Yang was going to go back after the Chinese New Year. He couldn't get in touch with her these few days, so he was really worried.

...

In the past, at this time every year, Ling's mother would do a big cleaning, and Ling's father would clean up and deal with all kinds of meat and fish bought in advance.This year, the Ling family's house was deserted, and Ling Yang was the only one. He probably tidied up the house, thinking that there would be no people living here in the short term anyway.

Xu Zhidu's father seemed to have asked someone to look for him once, but he sent him away.It was the first time Ling Yang saw Xu Zhidu lose his temper so much, when he saw himself standing there blankly, he smiled slightly.Before this, he had never seen Xu Zhidu look so lonely.

Time flies so fast, it's frighteningly fast.

On New Year's Eve, when Ling Yang went to find Xu Zhidu, it was rare for him to stay on the bed.

Xu Zhidu was in the kitchen when he entered, and when he heard the sound of the door opening, he leaned out from the kitchen and smiled at him: "You're here."

The floral apron Xu Zhidu was wearing had a lot of flour on it, and when he smiled he looked like a golden retriever: "Happy birthday!"

"Wait until I make you a cake."

Ling Yang froze for a moment, folded his arms and tilted his head to glance into the kitchen from a distance.

"...you are amazing."

Xu Zhidu: "..." I'm so sorry, I don't know how to cook.

Xu Zhidu really doesn't have any talent for cooking, these days he has been ignoring Ling Yang's cooking skills.The originally clean kitchen looked devastated after being tossed about by him like this, it was simply horrible.

Xu Zhidu blocked Ling Yang's sight with a guilty conscience, trying to make the atmosphere less awkward.

"..."

"Let me do it"

"...it is good"

Ling Yang's birthday is on the first day of the first lunar month, but there is a saying in their place that children born in the first lunar month should celebrate their birthday one day earlier, which means "to avoid disasters".

Ling Yang entered the kitchen, roughly cleaned up the chopping boards that Xu Zhidu had ruined, and methodically beat eggs, mixed cream, and baked... After a set of movements, Xu Zhidu was stunned for a moment.

"You are amazing."

"Both Xiaoyue and I like sweets, so we learned it by the way."

......

There was still some time before the cake was baked, Ling Yang took out the meat filling prepared the day before and asked Xu Zhidu to make dumplings together.

It happened to be noon when the cake was baked, Xu Zhidu volunteered to decorate it himself, taking advantage of this gap, Ling Yang went to cook the dumplings and cleaned up the kitchen by the way.

When Xu Zhidu came out holding the cake, Ling Yang had already set the table and chopsticks.

Looking at the dumplings on the table, Xu Zhidu thought for the first time what kind of girl Ling Yang would like in the future.As soon as this thought came up, he felt a little sour in his stomach, as if he had eaten a whole lemon.

...

Ling Yang looked at the cake on the table, (although it was decorated ugly) suddenly wanted to cry.

"Happy birthday, Ling Yang."

"Didn't you already say it once in the morning?" Ling Yang raised his head, looked at him with a reddish smile, "you are crazy!"

"..."

Brother Xu, what should we do?I feel like something has changed, I can't tell but...
