Chapter 3501 "Broken Promise"
The little boy sat on the swing again at the woman's signal.
……
"You're right!"
Before the little boy could sit still, he couldn't wait to share with his elder sister that he met the mushroom-headed boy again today.
"I really met again today..."
……
The woman sat on the swing next to the little boy.
He tilted his head and looked at the little boy.
Eyes and eyebrows are smiling.
Looks gentle.
……
Since the last chance encounter, the little boy has met the mushroom-headed boy from time to time.
After asking him several times why he came here and getting the same and somewhat vague answer, the little boy stopped asking.
He was happy to see the mushroom-headed boy often.
With the company and play of friends, the little boy is no longer so hard to accept the loneliness or quarrels that he should have been accustomed to at home.
At least...
Compared to being alone before, he has a big sister who is more like the image of his mother than his real mother.
He has friends his own age.
He had someone to talk to.
There is also someone to share with.
Even though he didn't show it on his face, he was really happy in his heart.
……
The big sister and the mushroom-headed boy are both very important existences to the little boy.
In front of his eldest sister, he talked a lot about the mushroom-headed boy.
In front of the mushroom-headed boy, he also talked a lot about his big sister.
Therefore, even though the eldest sister and the mushroom-headed boy have never met, they know a lot about each other.
……
The little boy really hopes to introduce his eldest sister to the mushroom-headed boy.
None of them had any objection to his proposal.
Just...
The little boy's tangled facial features wrinkled into a ball.
I don’t know what’s going on...
Every time he takes the mushroom-headed boy to the open space in front of the building...
The eldest sister is not here.
……
Because the mushroom-headed boy does not live here, and the mushroom-headed boy comes to him every time when he is out of school...
They didn't get along for long.
The mushroom-headed boy wants to go home before dark.
So there isn't much time to wait for the big sister to show up.
And every time the big sister appeared shortly after the mushroom-headed boy left.
This coincidence of timing made the little boy very annoyed.
……
The big sister and the mushroom-headed boy missed each other again and again, making the little boy helpless.
Also a little frustrated.
It's obviously just a little bit close...
Why can't we touch it?
……
The eldest sister gently touched the little boy's head.
Tell the little boy...
If she and the mushroom-headed boy were destined, they would eventually meet.
No need to rush.
……
The little boy was soothed.
All right.
Now that eldest sister said so...
He believed what his eldest sister said.
For example, the eldest sister said before that he would meet the mushroom-headed boy again, didn't he just meet him?
This time will be no exception.
The eldest sister said that if she and the mushroom-headed boy were destined to be together, they would definitely meet one day in the future.
Well, he was looking forward to that day.
……
The little boy Bu hurried to the open space in front of the building with the mushroom-headed boy again.
They have more choices.
……
He was really happy during that time.
Even his deskmate rarely turned to look at him and asked him if anything good had happened to him recently.
Why are you so happy?
He was a little surprised.
Was he so obviously happy?
He was also a little at a loss.
Because he didn't know how to answer this question from his deskmate?
Is it because he met two very good friends?
I always feel like I will be laughed at...
Fortunately, the school bell rang and saved him.
……
After a class, his deskmate also forgot about the questions he had not answered before.
……
The conflict between the little boy's father and mother is getting bigger and bigger.
It's gotten to the point where sarcastic remarks will soon escalate into quarrels when they meet. The little boy became increasingly cautious at home.
He tried to reduce his presence.
……
Occasionally, he would be in a trance while sitting at the dining table eating dinner alone.
Did he really eat at the same table as his parents?
He could not recall any tender memories of his parents.
What filled his mind...
Just their endless bickering.
……
Mom and dad are getting divorced.
Even though he had vaguely guessed that one day...
Sometimes he was annoyed by their quarrels, and he also thought that they might as well get a divorce.
Save yourself the hassle of making noise all day long.
But...
When they really wanted to divorce, the little boy still felt uneasy and even scared.
He suddenly discovered...
He would rather they quarrel every day than get divorced.
They divorced...
This home is gone.
……
But just like the transparent role he has always played, he cannot have any influence on his parents' decisions.
They didn't care what he thought.
……
Little boys habitually go to their older sisters to talk to.
Result…..
Until night fell and the windows of people who had gone to bed early were darkened, he did not wait for his eldest sister.
……
The little boy stood up from the swing silently.
Big sister...
What's going on today?
That’s why I can’t come over.
……
The fact that he could see his eldest sister every time he came over in the past made him forget one thing...
The first time he met his eldest sister was by chance.
The second, third, and countless subsequent meetings were all accidental encounters.
They had not made an agreement to meet.
But every time he came over, he would hear the gentle voice of his elder sister after a while.
Because of this, he forgot to make an agreement with his eldest sister to meet tomorrow.
……
The little boy pursed his lips.
It's dark.
He is going home.
It doesn't matter.
He comforted himself.
The eldest sister must have something to do today so she didn't come.
Tomorrow...
Big sister will definitely come tomorrow.
……
The little boy once again realized the importance of leaving each other's contact information.
Otherwise, at this time, he could go home and call his eldest sister and ask her why she didn't come today?
……
The next day, when the last class was over, the little boy put on his schoolbag and rushed to the door.
Although he was very active during this period of time after school.
But he ran straight out of the classroom and didn’t stop running in the corridor...
This is a bit strange.
It attracted the curious eyes of many students in the class.
……
The little boy didn't notice anything.
His heart was beating uneasily.
Before meeting his eldest sister, he could not calm down the worry and nervousness in his heart.
……
The little boy ran to the open space in front of the building with familiarity.
When he noticed someone on the swing not far away, he looked happy.
After taking a step forward, he paused.
Not a big sister.
Sitting on the swing is also a big sister.
But she is not the big sister he is looking for.
……
The little boy was disappointed.
But soon, he cheered up.
He came earlier today.
Even if the eldest sister wanted to come, she would not come so early.
It should take some time...
