Chapter 3554 "Cliché"
The boy pursed his lips.
Fingers clenched into fists.
……
"Big brother..."
The young man spoke hesitantly.
After a title, there is no following.
……
Xiao Xiao slightly arched his eyebrows.
"Xu Enguang."
He turned his head and looked at the young man.
"Did you want to tell me something from the last time we met?"
……
The young man suddenly opened his eyes wide.
How does Brother Xiao know? !
……
Xiao Xiao smiled.
"Feeling."
"I sense you are hesitating."
"The car you were in just arrived."
"I didn't ask you."
"So..."
Xiao Xiao raised the corners of his mouth.
"Are you going to tell me this time?"
"Or has it passed?"
……
The young man's mouth opened slightly.
Brother Xiao is so awesome.
Brother Xiao's last question made him tangled.
What happened last time...
To say that it is past is past.
To say that it has not passed... it is also not the past...
How could it really pass?
Unless...
The young man pursed his lips.
……
"Big brother."
It seemed like he had finally made up his mind.
The patter of rain slowly faded away.
The beating of his heart gradually filled his brain.
He took a deep breath.
"...It's those things..."
The young man said calmly.
As he finished speaking, he felt a little annoyed.
After doing so much preparation and mental construction...
Is this the result?
How big the thunder is but the raindrops are small?
……
"Those things?"
Xiao Xiao was thoughtful.
"Is it about your two missing friends?"
……
Why?
The young man's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Yeah."
He nodded heavily.
Brother Xiao actually understood it! ?
That's all he had to say about them.
Because he felt like he was complaining about brother Xiao whenever he saw him, he felt very embarrassed in his heart.
But he only told Brother Xiao about their affairs, and there was no second choice.
And he really wanted someone to listen to him talk about these things.
Brother Xiao... is his best confidant.
……
It's just that this is his wishful thinking.
He's not sure...
Is Brother Xiao willing to listen to him say these "commonplace" words?
……
Xiao Xiao smiled.
"You said."
……
These two simple words immediately stabilized the boy's restless beating heart.
The young man pursed his lips and showed a shy smile.
……
"...Actually, it's not something worth talking about..."
The edge of the young man's umbrella couldn't help but lower.
"That..."
"Brother Xiao said last time that I could ask people nearby... maybe they have news about my eldest sister..."
"I went to ask..."
He mustered up a lot of courage.
He has never been a person who is good at dealing with people.
In the eyes of many people, he is silent, reticent, and boring.
He didn't know how to strike up a conversation with a stranger without appearing too embarrassed.
But in order to get news from Big Sister...
He felt that he had to do something.
Otherwise...
All his concern for his eldest sister... isn't it like a joke?
……
He went back to the clearing where he met his eldest sister.
He saw the swing in the clearing at a glance.
There is someone on the swing.
It's a child.
Even the hanging feet cannot touch the ground.
The old man next to him was gently swinging on the swing, looking at the smiling child on the swing with a gentle look.
……
The boy looked away.
He took a deep breath.
He tried his best to suppress the sudden soreness in his nose.
He looked up and blinked.
Soon, he lowered his head. He looked around.
As if looking for something.
He was indeed looking for something.
……
He hit his head.
Every face he saw seemed strange to him.
They...
Will anyone really have news about Big Sister?
……
He hesitated for a while.
Seeing that more and more people were going home because it was dinner time, he became anxious.
Today, his grandparents told him in the morning that they would come back later in the evening because there were activities in their community.
If he is hungry, you can eat some biscuits to satisfy his hunger.
It won't be too late for them to come back.
He just wanted to take advantage of this rare opportunity to come and have a look.
He couldn't let this opportunity go to waste.
Who knows when the next time grandparents will come home late due to an activity?
……
He took a step forward.
Anyway, he has no impression of anyone...
Just try your luck.
……
He finally asked his question.
The first time is raw, the second time is ripe.
The young man discovered that actually asking about this matter was not that difficult.
Some small pieces of joy arose in his heart.
Because I mustered up the courage to do this.
Also because the feedback he received was kind and friendly.
Even though he didn't get any news about his eldest sister.
……
Finally, he was the only one left in the clearing.
He felt lost.
Sure enough...
Things didn't go that smoothly.
But everyone is fine.
But when faced with everyone's enthusiastic inquiries, he encountered the same dilemma as the last time he faced his elder brother's inquiries.
He couldn't remember... what his eldest sister looked like.
No matter how hard he tries...
Hit your head hard...
All he could remember... was the vague smile on his eldest sister's face.
And the flower blooming in the hands of the elder sister.
Very beautiful.
certainly.
What is even more unforgettable is...
The eldest sister conveyed to him her hope that he would be happy through the blooming of the flower.
He was very moved.
……
How could he forget the appearance of the elder sister who moved him so much?
He simply felt that he was "unforgivable."
……
That time he forgot in front of Brother Xiao, he thought it was an accident.
But after this time, he knew.
Not an accident.
He really forgot.
……
That's ridiculous.
It was as absurd as his eldest sister suddenly disappearing in front of him.
……
He could only vaguely respond to the enthusiastic crowd.
fortunately.
No one was too entangled in his unclear words.
They shook their heads regretfully at him and went home one after another.
……
He walked over to the swing.
Since the big sister disappeared...
It's been a long time since he sat on a swing.
……
Sitting in his familiar position again, he had some mixed feelings for no reason.
He suddenly realized very clearly...
He will probably never see his eldest sister again.
And the mushroom-headed boy I met during the spring outing.
They all disappeared from his life.
Completely.
There was no trace left for him to follow.
……
He felt unwilling.
I also feel uncomfortable.
But he can only accept it.
At a young age, he experienced the pain of separation for the first time.
……
It's different from when his parents left him.
Even though he no longer lives with his parents, he knows where they are.
No...
The young man was in a daze.
Maybe soon he won't know where his mother is.
The boy lowered his head.
He unconsciously twitched the corners of his mouth.
Mom...
……
He took a deep breath.
But dad...
