Chapter 3 I'm Here
Accompanied by a few more heart-piercing rooster crows, Xing Mo sat up from the bed winking.
Xing Mo sat on the bed for a while, watched the time displayed on the phone for a while, and then reached out and pressed the alarm clock.
It's only eight o'clock. Ever since he entered high school, Xing Mo hasn't gotten up so early on weekends.
Really, it was so difficult to cook a meal for Lu Xiu, I was almost moved to tears.
After washing up in a daze, Xing Mo took out the vegetables he bought yesterday from the refrigerator, grabbed an apron and tied it up, and began to think about what to do.
As a result, Xing Mocai hadn't finished washing when he heard the doorbell ring.
Ancestor, it's not even nine o'clock, come so fast?
Xing Mo thought to himself, looked at the cat's eye, and sure enough saw Lu Xiu standing outside the door leaning on the wall.
Xing Mo looked at the photo wall next to him, took a breath, and opened the door.
Lu Xiu looked at Xing Mo in the door, and couldn't help but whistled, "surprise? What is this? Surprise??"
Xing Mo was stunned for a moment, followed Lu Xiu's line of sight to look down and understood.
It's over, I was confused just now, and what I was pulling was the white floral apron given by the supermarket for an event before.
Xing Mo looked at Lu Xiu, who was full of bums, and turned around to close the door.
Lu Xiu quickly blocked the door, struggling to squeeze half of his body in.
"Oh, don't bring such a thing! Baby, you don't love me anymore, do you? You have another man, don't you?" Lu Xiu complained while struggling to get inside.
"Yes, I have another dog." Xing Mo gave Lu Xiu a white look, and let him in.
Lu Xiu got in quickly, just about to continue making jokes, when he turned his face and saw the photo on the wall.
It was a photo wall, not much different from those in other families, the only difference might be that there was a portrait hanging in the middle of the wall.
A very young man, who looked to be in his early 30s, smiled very gently, as if this gentleness could cross the boundary between life and death.
Lu Xiu didn't speak, and hurriedly walked up to the photo, stood up straight and bowed, silently saying sorry uncle, your son is so cute, I can't help it, and I can't control myself.
Xing Mo looked at Lu Xiu's movements and didn't speak, but his hands trembled a little, as if he was afraid that Lu Xiu would ask some questions that he didn't know how to say.
But Lu Xiu lowered his eyes and saw it. Lu Xiu paused and asked, "Is this uncle, Mo Mo's father?"
Xing Mo nodded, his eyes dodging a little.
"Father is so gentle, no wonder his son is so good-looking." Lu Xiu smiled, and made fun of it in a non-serious way, but Xing Mo was relieved.
"By the way, go get it and eat it!" Lu Xiu unzipped his clothes, took out two pieces of roasted sweet potatoes from his pocket, then took off his coat and hung it on the hanger at the door.
The heater in Xing Mo's house was turned on too high, it was hot.
Xing Mo couldn't help laughing, "This is for me? Why is it so old?"
With Lu Xiu's posture, if he wears a Chinese tunic suit, he can basically go back to the 80s and [-]s to talk about pure love.
"I'm not afraid that it will be cold! Don't be nervous, this is not a birthday present." Lu Xiu hurriedly explained.
"What about my gift?" Xing Mo continued to talk, feeling better.
"At my house, let's go over after dinner, and I'll play the piano for you." Lu Xiu couldn't wait to abduct him back home.
Seeing Xing Mo nodded, Lu Xiu asked again, "Hey, has Mo Mo started cooking yet? Is there anything I can do to help?"
Lu Xiu ignored the fact that he knew nothing, and volunteered to help in the kitchen.Like a majestic little rooster.
Hearing that Lu Xiu wanted to help, Xing Mo joked, "Help? Master, can you cook?" His flat tone was full of disdain for Lu Xiu's cooking skills.
Lu Xiu quickly said, "I can wash the vegetables."
Lu Xiu confidently demonstrated the process of washing vegetables in his head. He felt that it was very simple, so he spoke with confidence.
After hearing this, Xing Mo led him into the kitchen half-believingly, and handed Lu Xiu a pink apron with a bow by the way.
After all, you can't only disgust yourself, it's not as disgusting as others.
Unexpectedly, Lu Xiu glanced at it, took it lightly and tied it on, as if nothing happened, and said flirtatiously after tying it, "I didn't expect Momo to have such fun."
Seeing Lu Xiu's appearance like a tall man, Xing Mo only had three words in his heart, hot eyes.
Sure enough, it only made me sick.
Lu Xiu hadn't been in the kitchen for 10 minutes before he was kicked out by Xing Mo on the pretext of being in the way.
Imagine a normal person cooking, and there is a mentally retarded person next to him holding various kitchen utensils and seasonings and asking about things, but he still hugs you and talks to your ears, breathing on your ears and neck.
Do you think this meal can continue?When will the two be able to have this meal?
What's more, Lu Xiu just washed a few small tomatoes, and when he stretched out his hand to feed him, he even wiped his lips lightly with his index finger.
No matter how innocent Lu Xiu's expression is, this incident is worth blushing, okay?It's too disturbing the social atmosphere and affecting personal life!
Standing in front of a few little tomatoes, Xing Mo was extremely ashamed and indignant, his face was redder than a tomato.
"Mo Mo, I see that there is a photo album on the bookshelf in your living room, can I have a look?" Lu Xiu lay on the door of the kitchen and asked inside.
"Okay, let's see." Xing Mo's brain was in a state of shutdown, and he didn't think about it so much, he just wanted to let Lu Xiu go away to calm his mind.
Xing Mo took a deep breath, angrily said to himself in his heart, did you say a demonic obstacle?It's almost winter and why spring!There is no object!
After thinking about it, Xing Mo memorized "Spring River Flower and Moonlight Night" in his heart, and then continued to chop vegetables and cook.
—————————————————————
Over there, Lu Xiu flipped through the photo album, but couldn't calm down for a long time.
Every photo in the album is dated, so Lu Xiu can know how old he was.
He watched Xing Mo grow up slowly from a small baby.
In the album, there are snapshots of Xing Mo crying when he was a baby, photos of little Xing Mo standing on the rostrum speaking, photos of Xing Mo wearing a big red flower to receive awards, and some family photos.
The group photo ranged from three people, to father and little Xing Mo, to mother and nine-year-old Xing Mo, and then later, there were no more.
Xing Mo's ten-year-old birthday photo was gone in the album, and there were more than a dozen large blank pages left, making him look very lonely.
Lu Xiu didn't hear Xing Mo say this, it's actually quite normal, who would say this to someone he just met for a week?
Sitting on the sofa, Lu Xiu looked around, feeling a sense of soreness in his heart, as if he wanted to experience all the bitterness that Xing Mo had experienced for so many years.
While thinking about how the little Xing Mo lived alone, he thought about how to treat Xing Mo better in the future, and finally couldn't stop staring at the last photo in the album in a daze.
In that birthday photo, Xing Mo smiled reluctantly, the kind of loneliness that seemed to overflow from the photo frame made Lu Xiu tremble with fear.
Lu Xiu only felt distressed.
"Hey, it's time to eat." Xing Mo came out of the kitchen while taking off his apron. As soon as he came out, he saw Lu Xiu wearing a pink apron staring at something in a daze. The scene looked very funny.
Xing Mo was about to tease him, but when he got closer, he found a photo album in Lu Xiu's hand.
Xing Mo stood there stunned, not knowing what to do for a while, so he could only stare at Lu Xiu stiffly and turn his head to look at him.
He suddenly thought of the so-called consolation of those people who had a high profile in the past, those who said that everything would pass, those who said that it is really hard for a child to live by himself.
The kind of well-intentioned but compassionate, high-profile comfort made Xing Mo feel terrified.
For a while, he wanted to push Lu Xiu out, trying to make Lu Xiu forget what happened today.
Looking at Xing Mo's slightly trembling figure, Lu Xiu felt that he looked like a vigilant little beast, a lonely little beast without any support.
Xing Mo's eyes were a little wet, which made his eyes look not guarded, but asking for help.
Even in a posture of extreme defensiveness and barking teeth and claws.
Before the distress in Lu Xiu's eyes was exhausted, he hurriedly smiled and said to him, "Mo Mo was so cute when he was a child?"
Xing Mo nodded, turned around and said in a low voice, "Come here, it's time to eat."
—————————————————————
Lu Xiu hurriedly followed Xing Mo to the kitchen to serve dishes, as if he had forgotten what happened just now.
The two sat down to eat, and the air was a little quiet for a moment. Just as Lu Xiu was about to speak, he heard Xing Mo take a breath and say, "My father died when I was over nine years old."
Xing Mo was a little trembling, he found that he still couldn't mention these things, but he still wanted to say, like a person in the desert longing for an oasis, he wanted to find someone to talk about these things.
He can't just stop in the past, half stopping in the past and half continuing to move forward will only make him feel torn.
How about just Lu Xiu, Lu Xiu is different from them, at least, the feeling is different.
Xing Mo thought about Lu Xiu's eyes just now, the eyes were not pity that made him afraid, but distressed.
Lu Xiu looked at Xing Mo who was staring down at the table in surprise. He thought that Xing Mo didn't want to advance the past, so he was still thinking about how to help.
But he didn't expect that Xing Mo would take the initiative to talk to him, even though Xing Mo seemed a little hesitant.
Lu Xiu didn't interrupt, and quietly listened to Xing Mo's words.
"My parents divorced when I was more than four years old. They are both very good people, but it is really inappropriate to be together. Later, my mother went to work in other provinces, so I can only watch it during vacations or business trips. Me. In fact, both of them tried their best to give me the feeling of a family, so I don’t feel inferior to single families.” Xing Mo’s tone was a little trembling when he said that, and he didn’t dare to look up at Lu Xiu.He knows that his parents are good people, but they are not suitable.
"My father is a university teacher. He is very gentle, charismatic, and has the self-esteem of an intellectual. When I was about seven or eight years old, he was diagnosed with a disease. At the beginning, he took time to go to the hospital by himself. The treatment didn’t feel like a patient’s malaise. Later, when the condition became serious and needed to be hospitalized, I was told. I couldn’t believe it at the time, so I ran around the school and hospital all day, but I didn’t worry too much. I think After all, this is my father, so I can't run away." Xing Mo pursed his lips, looking a little regretful, but seemed to want to calm down.
"Later, his condition worsened. As a child, I couldn't do anything. I called my mother and she resigned. My father kept it from my mother before. The last year of my father's life was spent by the three of us together. He was very stubborn, saying that he didn't want to lie on the hospital bed and be a body without feeling, and that he didn't need to give first aid if the rescued one was too young. So in the last time... I..." Xing Mo's lips were trembling all the time, saying As I spoke, tears came down.
Lu Xiu suddenly didn't want to hear it anymore, he didn't want Xing Mo to be so uncomfortable, but he didn't dare to stop.
Xing Mo didn't wipe his tears either, he was afraid that if he stopped, he wouldn't be able to speak again, "Later, my mother came to stay with me for another year, and she asked me to live with her, but I was still afraid of delaying her life , so I refused. So what? Just live alone, she will come to see when she has time, although the frequency is very small. I know, she is busy with work. And, after all, she has a new family. "
After Xing Mo finished speaking, he suddenly felt a sense of relief, even if the process was bitter, Xing Mo felt relieved.
It's like when the embankment of a barrier lake is blasted, a vast amount of water from the lake is released.
Xing Mo sniffed, and blinked at Lu Xiu, as if trying to look relaxed, but saw Lu Xiu stand up without saying a word, his face full of distress.
Xing Mo was a little at a loss, he watched Lu Xiu walk in front of him, stopped for a moment, stretched out his hand and hugged himself in his arms.
Lu Xiu didn't speak, but Xing Mo seemed to hear what Lu Xiu wanted to say.
The words should be spoken slowly and firmly, with the sound of a silent heartbeat.
I am here.Xing Mo thought that Lu Xiu probably wanted to express this meaning.
"I'm here." Lu Xiu said in a deep voice.
The author has something to say:
The stupid author decided to put some high school knowledge points, liberal arts, in Youshu.After all, the stupid author only found a lot of small books after packing up his things two days ago.
Ahhh, I don't care anymore, I will finish revising these ten chapters today.
