Nowhere to be found, only the heart of a young man

Chapter 19: Heavy Pressure

When I got home, I was sore.

After dinner, I went back to my room, my arms were so sore that I couldn't lift them up.So I opened the neckline and asked Minmin to help me see what was going on on the back shoulder.

Unexpectedly, it was bruised and swollen, and Minmin was so frightened that she hurriedly asked me,

"Sister, what happened? How did you get hurt like this?"

In order to avoid my family's worries, I tried to act calmly, so I comforted her and said,

"It's nothing serious. In the afternoon, the students in the class were fighting, so I went to pull it off."

Unexpectedly, Minmin was even more surprised when she heard this.

"Sister, with your skinny appearance, you still fight? Are you not afraid that your small body will be pulled apart by others?"

I put my index finger on my mouth,

"Shh, keep your voice down, be careful your parents hear you!"

Minmin didn't care at all, she pulled my finger away from my mouth,

"Don't pretend, your parents have already seen that you are not in the right shape today, so they asked me to find out the news on purpose."

"Oh, that's right. Then how are you going to reply?"

"Tell me the truth!"

Her words made me a little depressed.

"Well, I don't care anymore. But, do you really underestimate your sister so much, am I so useless in your eyes?"

I asked her back, joking with myself.

"Hmph, you don't even look at your bones. If you don't run and exercise regularly, you will be no different from Lin Daiyu. But, let me help you apply some medicine first?"

After speaking, Minmin turned around and took out the ointment for bruises and sprains from the small cabinet next to the bed.I leaned over to her, and she whirred and smeared the ointment on the bruise on my shoulder.Immediately, I felt a cool feeling on the back of my shoulder.

After wiping, Minmin tentatively pressed the bruised area.

"Does it still hurt?"

"Ah!" I screamed, "Fool, how can the medicine work so fast?"

"Hehe!" She smiled mischievously, and asked back, "Then you should be braver this afternoon than you are now?"

I thought of this unbearable afternoon and didn't know what to say.So with an idea, he changed the direction of the topic.

"Then according to what you say, I'm better than sister Lin?"

"What's the use of being stronger? Sister Lin is so thin, and Brother Bao hurts you. If you are hurt like this, it's not just me and my parents who love you!"

Alas, this sentence of hers simply made me unable to answer.

On the Friday night before the weekend, unexpectedly, my parents offered to ask me to have a talk.

I agreed to my parents' request, although I didn't know what they wanted to talk to me about.

So, after Minmin returned to the house, I sat on the sofa in the living room and waited quietly.After a while, after my parents finished their housework, they moved a wicker chair with armrests and sat in front of me.

"Mumble, we already know about you fighting for your classmates in class. Are your bruises any better?"

They spoke first.

"Oh, it's much better. It's okay. I wasn't hurt too badly at first."

"That's good. If you help your classmates in the future, you have to be more careful, so that parents can rest assured."

"Okay. Minmin told you, right?"

"Not exactly. Minmin just said that you were injured in an accident, and she didn't say much else. All we know is what your current head teacher, Teacher Bao, said."

"Did Teacher Bao tell you all?"

"Yes, your father and I went to school to meet him yesterday, and we also met your former head teacher, Teacher Yang."

I didn't speak, just watched them warily, realizing that things were much more serious than I thought.

"We know everything."

The parents looked a little serious, but it could be seen that they still maintained the necessary rationality.

"You guys, what do you all know?"

I took courage and started asking questions.

"Mumble, are you in a relationship with a classmate from your former class?"

I was stunned.

"We also know that the child's name is Heli. Your father also inquired about his family's situation. His family seems to live in..."

"You...how? No, it's not like that."

My denial burst out, but I couldn't make it clear.

"Mumble, don't worry, wait for mom and dad to finish talking."

"OK then."

I paused, held back my words, and closed my mouth obediently.

"Murmur, first of all, don't rush to misunderstand Mom and Dad. We don't have any other intentions. You also know that we have always been quite enlightened in the education of you and Minmin. Of course, you two are very good. Let Dad Mom is very proud. Especially you, Mumu, you are always far ahead in academic performance, and you have set a good example for Minmin. In this regard, Mom and Dad are very grateful to you. And, in our eyes, you The growth path has been very smooth, and my parents rarely worry and worry."

"However, when you and Minmin were about to enter puberty, we also worried in private. Because mom and dad have experienced it when they were young, so I also understand that at this stage, boys and girls will be a little ignorant of each other It’s normal for them to think about each other, or have some good feelings for each other.”

"But it doesn't necessarily equate to being in love. To be enlightened, this is the beginning of each of us learning how to fall in love."

I didn't speak, wanting to hear them go on.

"However, falling in love is a very complicated process. You see, for parents, the final result of falling in love is the formation of a family, and then you and Minmin. Among them, parents have also I have experienced many unexpected twists and turns, but my parents are adults, so I have enough energy and ability to deal with them. When we do our best to deal with these twists and turns, we can better maintain the establishment of this family .”

"Mumble, we went to learn about Heli's family situation, and we also want to help the two of you better deal with the problem you are facing at this stage."

"First of all, his family conditions are very good, his parents are relatively traditional people, and they have high expectations for him. Oh, he seems to have an older sister, who I heard has excellent academic performance. However, Holly's reputation , is good at fighting, loves to cause trouble, and is known as a rebellious boy. Based on this, we are very worried about your current situation. You think, if a boy continues to be rebellious, he will even lose his emotions. If you can't control it, how can you have enough ability to maintain your emotions?"

My parents' last question left me speechless.

"Also, your energy is limited now. Youth is the age when you have a strong thirst for knowledge. There is so much knowledge that you can't finish it. If you divide half of your energy into trying to fall in love, you will definitely end up doing the wrong thing at the wrong time. Choose to delay the rest of your life.”

"The road of life is very long. Maybe the person you really love will appear in front of your respective eyes when you are all ready in the future. When things come to pass, you can form your own family. Wouldn't it be better for you? How about making us as parents completely at ease?"

I was completely speechless.

"Murmur, Mom and Dad believe that you have listened to everything we said. You have always been a well-behaved and sensible child. You should know how to choose, which will be good for you and Holly. Of course, we can promise you , If one day, you all become adults, step into the society, mature, and each have a certain ability to survive, then if you still care about each other at that time, there is fate. Mom and Dad will definitely not interfere with your choice again. "

I just sat there, motionless.

"That's all we want to say about this matter. Mumu, what else do you think? Mom and Dad are willing to sit here and listen."

"Oh, I don't seem to have anything to say. I will take your thoughts to heart and think about it carefully."

I stood up and went back to my room, leaving my parents sitting in the opposite chair, staring at my back.

All night, I lay silent in bed.Minmin wanted to come down to tease me several times, but seeing my lazy and preoccupied appearance, she gave up the idea and let me go.

In the middle of the night, I who had already fallen asleep woke up from my sleep, and suddenly felt that my body was chilling intermittently.I thought it was the weather outside the house, and the temperature dropped sharply.So he had to curl up his body wrapped in the quilt tightly like a newborn baby.After surviving like this for a while, my body no longer felt cold, but instead, it became extremely hot and hot.As a last resort, I could only wake up Minmin who was still soundly asleep on the upper bunk, and told her that I was dizzy and in pain all over.

Minmin stretched out her right hand, touched my forehead, and cried out in fright:

"Sister, you have a fever, it's so hot! I have to hurry and call Mom and Dad!"

I mumbled a "huh" and lost consciousness.
