chapter 14.

What to consider?

Xue Youka didn't know, but then he heard Cheng Yu say: "Did you hear clearly?"

"I heard you clearly, you said to think about it, eh."

Cheng Yu then turned around to look at him and saw that he was still happily eating crispy noodles.

If he refuses, will he cry?

Cheng Yu became even more irritable.

"The medicine has been applied." Xue Youka tilted her head and looked into his eyes, "Brother, your watch keeps beeping."

The bracelet couldn't be turned off, and Cheng Yu couldn't take it off, so he could only try to control his emotions: "Let's go, I'll take you home."

Xue Youka was afraid of cheating, so he went back to his aunt's house first. When he saw that his cousin hadn't come back yet, he said that he had come back early and that his cousin would have to wait for a while. This was very consistent with his daughter's style, and his aunt did not doubt it and drove him back.

.

In the car, my aunt talked about how they would move out in a few days: "When we move, the house will be empty."

"Aunt, won't you come back again?"

"Yes, I have to come back, but your cousin has to go to school, and I have to take care of Cao Cao, so I won't be able to stay for a few days." The most important reason for going to a big city is not only my daughter's study, but also my son's illness. "When the time comes,

You come to Beijing during the holidays, and my aunt will take you to climb the Great Wall."

My aunt drove very slowly: "We have moved away. Once the house is empty, if you want to go to middle school, you can move to your aunt's house."

Xue Youka shook his head and said that he could go to school by bike.

"I don't want you to live in vain. When you have free time, help your aunt clean the house. The house must be lived in to be popular. Your grandparents will also move in with you. Your grandma can cook for you. There are so many people taking care of it together.

Are you afraid that you won't have the motivation to study?" The reason why she said this was because she knew that she would probably have little chance to come back. It would not be good if the house was empty or rented to outsiders. It would be better to give it to the family.

When he got home, Xue Tianliang fell drunk on the sofa and fell unconscious.

He Xiaoyou was humming a song and washing her hair in the bathroom, sounding in a good mood. Xue Youka said to her and was about to enter the room, but He Xiaoyou stopped her. With her head full of bubbles, she turned her head to look at him and said:

"Mimi, my mother will take you to Qingzhou this weekend to listen to an English lecture."

He Xiaoyou would take him to attend a lecture from time to time. Xue Youka was used to it, so he responded, washed up, entered the room, locked the door, and released the fireflies from the bottle.

In the room with no lights on, these little fluorescent lights illuminated the anime posters plastered all over the walls.

As he was drifting off to sleep, Xue Youka suddenly heard the muffled sound of a quarrel.

"Xue Tianliang! I won't give you another penny. Mimi still needs to go to school. These are the money for his education. You can't even touch it!"

"You only go home once a month, how can you act like a father?!"

"Keep your voice down... don't wake Mimi up."

Xue Tianliang only comes back a few days a month, which avoids conflicts, but sometimes they still quarrel.

Xue Youka wondered vaguely whether his father was gambling outside as Hupi's mother said.

Soon, the quarrel outside stopped. Early the next morning, Xue Youka saw that all the fireflies were dead, so he picked them all up and put them back in the glass bottle.

He Xiaoyou made breakfast for him: "Mimi, your dad will send you to your grandma's house to stay for a few days later, and he will pick you back up on the weekend."

Xue Youka looked at her and then at Xue Tianliang. Neither of them were as happy as they were yesterday.

"Okay." He responded obediently.

When he arrived at grandma's house, Xue Tianliang turned off the fire, took out his wallet, and gave Xue Youka two hundred yuan: "To buy a gift for your mother, have you emptied the piggy bank?"

Xue Youka didn't want it at first, but suddenly remembered their quarrel last night.

He reached out and took the money.

"Dad, I will keep this money for you and return it to you later."

Xue Tianliang chuckled like a sigh: "Good boy."

"Don't buy lottery tickets." Xue Youka didn't know if he was gambling outside and didn't mention it. He leaned over and hugged Xue Tianliang, "Don't make mom angry either."

Xue Tianliang's nose felt sore and he rubbed his hair: "Yes, Dad promises you."

After getting off the car, Xue Youka suddenly called daddy through the car window.

Xue Tianliang watched him kiss the glass and heard his son's voice saying: "Dad, I love you."

Then Xue Youka ran away.

The word "love" is something that he is ashamed to say, but Xue Youka will occasionally say it. Because he knows that his parents love him, and at the same time, his idea is very simple, thinking that adults can also be tripped up by love, no matter what.

Contradictions will disappear because of this ordinary and great word.

Hupi knew that he was back and came to see him in the video arcade. Although Xue Youka wanted to go, he still refused.

"I have something else to do in the afternoon, I have an appointment with a friend."

"Which friend have you made an appointment with? A classmate? Then we can go together!"

Xue Youka thought about it and felt that Cheng Yu would definitely not like tiger skin.

"You don't know him. He asked me not to call others."

Hupi was a little unhappy when he left, and Xue Youka felt uncomfortable seeing him like this. It was probably because the incident between Xue Tianliang and He Xiaoyou affected his mood, and he couldn't get excited all day long.

In the afternoon, he buried the glass bottles containing fireflies under the fig tree, made a grave for them, and then lay alone in the tree house listening to music in a daze.

Children at this age have the most keen sense of the outside world. Adults treat them as children, but in fact they don’t know that children know everything in their hearts. Xue Youka just fell asleep and was woken up by someone.

He climbed out of the tree house and saw that the person standing below was actually Cheng Yu. He was very surprised: "Why are you here?"

"Your door is open and no one is inside, so you are not afraid of thieves?" Cheng Yu called to him, "Child, come down."

Xue Youka rubbed his eyes: "No one will steal anything."

"You said you would be my guide, wouldn't you forget it?"

"Then where do you want to go? I'll take you to see the waterfall?"

"Is there a waterfall here?"

"Yes!" As he said this, he climbed down the rope ladder. Unexpectedly, the wood on the ladder suddenly broke, and he missed his foot. Xue Youka didn't even have time to react, and fell down from the rope ladder that was as high as one person.

The world was spinning in an instant.

It fell right towards where Cheng Yu was standing. Cheng Yu wanted to avoid it, but at that moment, he didn't have time to think, so he reached out and hugged him.

Cheng Yu hugged his waist from behind, but the gravity falling from the sky was too heavy. Cheng Yu took a step back and fell to the ground.

Cheng Yu was lying on the green grass, with fig tree leaves blown by the wind above his head and a piece of unpolluted blue sky and white clouds. Xue Youka's short hair was on the tip of his nose, and his skin was warm with the scent of soap. His heart was beating uncontrollably.

.

It feels very strange.

It took several seconds for Xue Youka to react. He was not hurt by the fall, but was being hugged - there was a flesh pad under him, and he could clearly feel the warmth coming from Cheng Yu's body.

"Hey." Cheng Yu, who was lying below, moved his arm from his waist and tapped his arm with his fingertips, "Take me to see the waterfall?"

---

"Is this the waterfall you're talking about?"

Cheng Yu raised his head and looked at a stream of water spurting out from the center of the mountain stream and falling into the pool.

The pool is only about half the size of a basketball court, not deep, and so clear that you can see the bottom.

"Of course it's called a waterfall. Hupi, I, and a few other buddies used to come here to swim." He sat on the edge of the pool, took off his shoes and put his feet in the water, "under there." He pointed to the waterfall, "

Let’s take a shower next to each other.”

"Take a shower?" Upon hearing this, Cheng Yu couldn't help turning his head to look at him, "How many boys are you with...?"

"Yes, it's the third grade or the fourth grade, I forgot." Xue Youka lay down and looked at the sky. The daisies beside the pool were swaying in the wind.

Cheng Yu frowned. He looked like a boy and had a boyish personality, but he actually swam with so many boys.

Forget it, he was still a kid in the third or fourth grade. He reluctantly convinced himself, but he was still a little unhappy and didn't know where it came from: "You are not allowed to swim with those boys in the future."

"What?"

Cheng Yu: "...If the water is not clean, you will get sick."

"What kind of disease are you getting? It's impossible. This water is from a mountain spring and is extremely clean." Xue Youka sat up as he spoke, bent down and took a handful of water from the pool, and took a sip in front of Cheng Yu.

Then he splashed it on his face.

Cheng Yu lowered his head and saw his feet dangling in the pool, and stopped talking.

"Would you like a sip? It's sweet." Xue Youka's face was covered with clear crystal water drops, her hair was wet, and her light-colored eyes were shining in the sun.

"No." Cheng Yu pursed his lips.

Xue Youka saw that he was still unhappy and felt a little helpless. He wanted to make him happy and told a few more jokes and asked him if they were funny. Cheng Yu was quite cooperative and said it was funny without any expression on his face.
