Chapter 6 Showers and Sudden Arrival
Of course I remember.
Le Zhi arrived at Song Yu's side without warning during a heavy rainstorm.
He remembered clearly that he was the one who opened the door that night. Unexpected rain rushed in on the summer night and wet his hair. The father had a child in his arms, wrapped tightly in his coat.
After entering the door, he knelt down and hugged Song Yu.
Song Yu reached out and lifted some clothes in doubt, "Who is this?"
A pair of eyes, like glass beads, were exposed under the loose coat.
"This is my younger brother."
Six-year-old Song Yu gained a younger brother overnight. He was soft and beautiful, and looked like a little angel from a fairy tale album. He had light brown hair in curls, could only speak English, and had a babyish voice.
Contrary to this little guy, Song Yu was not born with a lively personality. He didn't like to make noises and didn't talk much. His elders and relatives always said that his personality was not good and needed to be changed. However, Lin Rong always argued with reason and said that he was separated from others.
He inherited it from his grandfather, allowing Song Yu to be himself since he was a child.
He is very smart and his mind is much more mature than other children, but no matter how mature he is, he will be at a loss when facing a strange child who will take away his love. Song Yu didn't like him at first, but he didn't like him either.
To the point of being annoying.
He spent most of the time observing silently.
It's strange, his eyelashes are too curled.
Why does this little thing have so much trouble talking? He looks so clumsy.
Could it be that I was so stupid when I was a child?
But Le Zhishi was really cute, and any elder would praise him when they saw him. These compliments shook Xiao Song Yu's mind, and he had to admit that Le Zhishi was cuter than the Pomeranian he wanted to buy.
.
On the third day after coming to his house, Le Zhishi suddenly started crying non-stop, crying for his parents, his own parents, and no one could coax him.
"Stop crying." As soon as Song Yu came closer, Le Zhishi stretched out his arms to hug him, but Song Yu couldn't hold him, so he wrapped himself around him, like a glutinous rice cake that couldn't be pulled off.
"You're giving me a headache from crying." Song Yu was desperate and said to Lin Rong, "Mom, let's send him back to his parents and let him go home."
Lin Rong looked at him, but couldn't say what she wanted to say. Finally, she coaxed Le Zhishi and carried her upstairs. Only Song Yu and Song's father were left in the living room.
"Xiao Yu." Song's father pulled him over and told him seriously, "My brother has no parents anymore."
Song Yu frowned and did not answer. He only thought about the meaning of this sentence in his heart. Soon, Song's father gave him a more precise answer.
"His parents are gone and he has no home to go back to."
He understands what "absent" means.
Song Yu's frown deepened. He looked up at the stairs, then looked back at his father.
"Then will he leave in the future?"
Father Song shook his head, "This will be his home from now on."
Adults will always subconsciously judge children and think that children do not understand anything. But in fact, children have greater empathy than adults. They will hold an umbrella for a small stray dog on the way home.
The same goes for Song Yu, even though he has not been a very empathetic child since he was a child.
After returning to his room, he hugged the pillow and nestled on the small sofa, thinking about what Father Song said.
Le Zhishi looks so cute, but she has no parents.
This sentence stuck in his heart, so he felt more and more pitiful about Le Zhi Shi. No matter how beautiful the stray dogs are, they are still stray dogs. When it rains, they have no place to go, so they can only hide in the tunnels and shivering, cold and hungry.
The door suddenly opened with a creak, interrupting the stray dog adventures in Song Yu's mind. He looked up and saw Le Zhishi huddled by the door, with half of his head exposed and looking pitifully in.
He also let out a silly crying burp.
Song Yu glanced at him, as if he were a little master, "Why are you hiding?" Seeing that the little thing didn't move, he couldn't bear it, so he raised his hand and waved to let him in. Le Zhishi just now
He walked towards him slowly. The child's feet were unsteady and he staggered with every step, as if he was about to fall down in the next second. This made Song Yu tremble with fear.
After finally walking up to him, Le Zhishi stared at him with her big eyes blinking, her face red from crying, and her whole body looked like a peach that was about to burst.
His eyes were swollen. Song Yu thought of what his father said again, so he made room for him and let him huddle with him on the small lazy sofa.
It has been raining for several days, and it seems that it has not stopped since the arrival of Lezhi.
He asked Le Zhishi why he came to his room, and a white light suddenly flashed outside the window. Before Le Zhishi could answer, he was cut off by a huge thunder. He was so frightened that he hugged Song Yu, his whole body trembling.
Although Song Yu was also frightened by the thunder, Le Zhishi was much more frightened than him. Not only did he tremble, but he also started crying.
Song Yu was most afraid of him crying. He wanted to get up and ask his mother to take him back to the room, but when he knew it, he just clung to him and tried his best to get into his arms. There was no way, Song Yu could only coax him like a real brother.
But he didn't like to talk, so he could only cover his ears and pat his back gently with his hands.
Thunder will not disappear easily. It will always appear again after Le Zhi's fright has recovered a little. With one strike, all the coaxing done before will be in vain.
He decided to find a way to divert the little poor attention.
After thinking for a while, Song Yu took out a large box of madeleines. The chocolate-filled ones were brought back to him by his father from abroad. He was reluctant to open them.
It's easier on you.
With the sweet cake and Song Yu covering his ears, Le Zhishi was no longer so scared. The way he ate was very cute. He held the cake in his two little fleshy hands and bit into it. When there was a sudden thunder, his whole body felt...
After shaking it, all the cakes fell down. I was stunned for a second and then picked them up again, and continued eating with tears in my eyes.
It's funny and pitiful.
"You are so young, how can you eat so well?" Song Yu looked at the empty box, with only the last cake left. He picked it up and took a bite, and sweet chocolate flowed out of it.
Le Zhishi stretched out her hand to him again and said softly that she still wanted it. Song Yu had no choice but to hand him half of the hand again, "No more."
The last half was eaten clean by him in the same posture, and the corners of his mouth were covered with chocolate. Song Yu thought he was dirty, so he wiped the corners of his mouth with a tissue.
He feels like he really is like a big brother.
This sudden addition of a brother-like identity gave Song Yu a very complex emotion, a little burdensome, but also a little joyful and proud. It convinced him more than a hundred people saying "You have grown up" to him.
When going to bed at night, Le Zhishi was unwilling to leave. He was crying and clamoring to sleep with Song Yu. Lin Rong had no choice but to carry him into his son's room. As soon as he got into Song Yu's bed, Le Zhishi
She no longer cried or made trouble, she was obedient and quiet, she slept next to Song Yu's arm like a little doll, and she even said goodnight to him while holding back her tears.
He seems to have developed a nestling feeling towards this boy who is three years older than him, because when there is thunder, he will cover his ears and give him cakes.
After Lin Rong left, Song Yu turned over and looked at Le Zhi with his eyes closed. He thought to himself that it might be nice to have more little brothers. Even if he is a bit clingy and always next to him, he doesn't hate it. He can do it.
I took him to the Jiangtan Park to fly a kite, look at the reeds, and took him to the Mathematical Olympiad class with him, but this little thing definitely couldn't understand a word.
Song Yu's mind was already filled with the situation when he was stuck by Le Zhi.
Children are always full of curiosity, but Song Yu is not. He has been extremely rational since he was a child. But when he realized that he would become an older brother, he felt an innocent novelty for the first time.
But it was also that night that Song Yu understood for the first time that being a brother was not that simple.
In the middle of the night, he was awakened by the sound of Le Zhishi's breathing. His small hands held his arms tightly, and he seemed to be unable to breathe with every breath. Song Yu was frightened, and his first reaction was to run out of bed and hit his parents.
Door.
The sound of the ambulance was more frightening than the thunder. Song Yu was stuck in it all night, as if his ears were ringing. He refused to listen and insisted on following, so he ran behind the adults. When he looked at Le Zhi, he was held by his father, so
Small, eyes closed, lips no longer beautiful pink.
Everything in the emergency room was very chaotic, and in my memory it was like a fast-editing shot of chaos, everything was gray, and the heartbeat and Le Zhi's sad breathing were the background sounds.
It wasn't until the doctor came out and told them that everything was fine, that the tearful mother suddenly stood up and his father put out his cigarette, that Song Yu's heart dropped.
"Our initial diagnosis is food allergy asthma. After checking the allergens, the child has a severe wheat allergy. In theory, he cannot eat any food containing wheat. Mild clinical reactions may be diarrhea and urticaria. In more serious cases,
It will induce asthma just like this time. How can you parents not pay attention to these?"
Lin Rong wiped away her tears and said nothing. Le Zhishi hadn't eaten anything made from flour in the past few days. It was basically vegetables, fruits and rice cereal. The child's parents passed away suddenly, and they didn't know about it at all.
"We must be careful next time." Father Song said in a hoarse voice.
"Allergies can be big or small, and the child is only three years old, so it's no joke." The doctor then asked, "Did he eat anything that he shouldn't have eaten today?"
"There shouldn't be..." Lin Rong was also confused, but no matter how hard she recalled, she couldn't think of any wheat products.
A string in Song Yu's mind was broken. He suddenly understood that he was simply the most terrifying criminal in the world, and he almost killed this younger brother who was so dependent on him. He thought he was just bringing his favorite cake to coax him.
, but what was fed was poison.
"He...he ate the cake. I gave it to him." Song Yu had never been so anxious at this age, but he still truthfully confessed his "crime", even if it was really unintentional.
The doctor sighed, "This kind of situation is also common. Children, don't they also feed little goldfish, but end up feeding too much and the fish will die the next day? There is no intention."
This example did not reduce Xiao Song Yu's sense of burden, but instead made it worse.
"According to the symptoms of this disease, you probably eat a lot." The doctor comforted, "You may also like your brother too much, so you feed him so many cakes. Remember this next time, don't do this.
.”
The child's self-blame and burden made Song Yu understand for the first time that liking can also cause harm.
He thought he was taking in a poor stray dog and holding an umbrella for it during heavy rains, but in fact, what he was extending was a hand spreading fish food without restraint, and he was full of joy. In the end, what he waited for might be a lost dog.
A small fish whose life floats.
Although his parents did not blame him and comforted him like the doctor, telling him that it was nothing. But from that day on, Song Yu still consciously distanced himself from his younger brother, not getting too close. He couldn't tell the reason, maybe it was that
The fear and self-blame of the night are still hard to shake off. It may be that he understands what restraint is.
I understand earlier than many adults.
After growing up, Song Yu often felt that he was born to keep an alienated distance from the world, holding a few threads in his hand, connecting him and some necessary people in his life. Everything was set in black, white and gray.
.
Only Le Zhishi was an unexpected visit outside of fate, a sudden rain. Some people said that this was the unfinished brotherhood in the previous life, and they collided with each other in this life, so he had a special line in his hand.
The root was red and seemed to fall apart as soon as he blew it. After all, it didn't belong to him, so he not only held on to it, but also tried to maintain it.
