Kuroda really took his younger brother Kuroda Hiroshi to watch the fireworks. His autistic brother doesn't want to stay in a crowded crowd. He decided to walk out of the crowd. Zhenxi had to talk to his adoptive parents, Sato and his wife, waved impatiently, and then ran to follow his brother. They marched slowly south along the river.
"Nakamura, don't you want to see fireworks? We don't have to go to the crowded place over there, we can see it in the river. " Hongshu nodded, really wanting to know that he likes fireworks, but he doesn't like people, so he took him to sit on the grass slope by the river and waited for fireworks to appear in the night sky.
Zhenxi has been looking up at the night sky. The first fireworks vaguely heard the screams on the other side in the sound of blooming in the night sky. Zhenxi didn't touch anything, wait until the first fireworks disappeared before looking at the other side. An adult male rushed over, jumped into the river and swam to the black fireworks under the bridge, which gradually disappeared into the dark river. Hiroki just looked at him, but Zhenxi didn't react and turned him around and held him in her arms.
"Is he dead?" Hiroki asked quietly in her arms.
"No, someone saved him, he is still alive, still alive ..." Zhenxi didn't know whether the boy guarded by the girl who was crying sadly was still alive. The man gave him first aid, and soon an ambulance came. Zhenxi has been watching him being carried away. It's like a pantomime, everything is hidden under the sound of fireworks, and Zhenxi can't seem to hear the explosion of these fireworks.
"Let's go home. Don't be afraid, Hongzhi. "
The next day, I didn't hear the relevant reports, and Zhenxi didn't take the initiative to say anything, but Hiro seemed to be greatly influenced.
"Is that man dead? Will he die? " Hiroki has always wanted to know the answer. Zhenxi didn't answer him every time, and her adoptive parents' daughter heard constant questions and shouted impatiently at Hong. "What does it matter to you that he is dead?" Do you want to die? "Although she didn't know who" he "was in her mouth, she just found an exit.
"You don't mean him. He's just scared. "
"He's so scary! I have been asking if I will die. " The adoptive parents' daughter, Sato Yaoxiang, is the same age as Zhenxi. She is a very strong and beautiful girl. She is the only daughter of the Sato couple and dotes on her.
"What are you doing?" Mrs. Sato came out of the kitchen.
"The child is always talking about the dead. It's too noisy. "
"No, because Hiroshi saw someone jump into the river, and he was just afraid."
"Jump into the river? When did it happen and there was no news at all? " Both Mr. and Mrs. Sato like watching the news very much.
"This kid is talking nonsense, little liar."
"Please don't say that. He didn't lie. "
"Then you are also a liar."
I'm too lazy to refute, and I want to take Hiro back to my room.
"Where are you going to eat? Get a meal quickly. " Although Jin-hee doesn't want to stay here any longer, Hongzhi still wants to eat, so he silently makes up the meal.
"Elder sister, I don't want to eat ..."
"If you don't eat, get out." Yaoxiang sat impatiently at the table.
Mr. and Mrs. Sato generally don't make any noise about their daughter's impolite words. Zhenxi and Hongduo endured silently. Jin-hee knows that they are only adopted sons and are not qualified to ask for anything. Maybe it was forbearance to drive them away, but they also let her go to school. They just love Hiroshi. They are weak since childhood and look much weaker than their peers. They suffer from chronic diseases, and the drugs they treat are expensive. As they grow up, it has no effect for the time being. Hiro is also autistic and gradually tends to hurt himself. Although he thought it was Yaoxiang at first, it didn't seem to be, at least not completely. He sometimes imitates some dangerous behaviors he sees. Although he was only slightly injured, Zhenxi was worried, and he had just witnessed a suicide, so Zhenxi thought so.
Jin-hee has been studying hard, and she knows that this is her only way out without background. She must be the first, and always has been. If junior high school can be successfully admitted to E middle school, she will definitely get the qualification of helicopter in E middle school and senior three, get a helicopter scholarship, buy medicine for uncle Hong, and then walk to Y University, so that she can leave here and take uncle Hong with her, no longer relying on anyone, and no longer being bullied by anyone. Jin-hee has few friends, and she doesn't want these things for a long time. The most important thing for her is Hiro, who is the spiritual pillar to support her, so her goal must be achieved, and nothing can stop her.
After entering junior high school, her adoptive parents don't want her to live at home anymore. Although she will be separated from Hiro, she has to promise to go back at least once every weekend. Although it was not the home I expected to go back to, I still had some expectations and happiness when I thought of Hiroshi there. Usually when there is no one at home, Hongzhi will be locked at home alone. Although Zhenxi is distressed, it is also to prevent him from having any accident outside. It just didn't take long for something to happen. Mr. and Mrs. Sato are out, and poor Hiro is at home alone. He didn't have enough food and was hungry for three days. Although I was surprised that Yao Xiang took a few days off, I still didn't think of it here. Finally, the hospital informed me that the mangroves, who were very weak, had suffered other injuries, from the impact of external blunt objects, leading to internal bleeding.
It's Yoshikazu Sato.
Because Hiroko, who was too hungry, stole her chocolate, she came home and saw Hiroko in her room, dirty and very angry. She hit Hiroshi with a bat that was originally for the boy she liked.
Then there is the persuasion of the Sato couple. What can I do if I cry beside my bed? Sato Yaoxiang didn't apologize, but she was indignant that she was taught by her parents to buy Hongzhi chocolate as compensation.
After Hiroshi recovered, the Satos offered to send him to school as compensation. I'm really happy and worried, because Hiro, who has missed the best school age because of illness, can adapt to school life, but it seems that no matter what she thinks, the Sato couple are going to send him away, one is to avoid unpleasant words from neighbors, and the other is to avoid more serious things, especially the daughter's seemingly rebellious performance.
Uncle Hong went to a primary school not far from home. Zhenxi found that even when Hiro started school, he didn't talk to himself very much. No matter how Jin-hee tries to find a topic, he just nods angrily, or, uh-huh, never wants to mention what happened at school.
From time to time, Jin Xi will visit him in the primary school after class, but this primary school is not open to the public, perhaps for safety reasons. At ordinary times, Jin Xi can only visit him through the fence of the school playground when he is in physical education class. Most of the time, he always sits quietly alone, and sometimes he looks dirty. From a distance, he only thought it was caused by physical education class's activities, until one day he saw his children bullying him. However, no matter how bullied, Hiro always silently holds his head and says nothing. Sometimes I cry for a teacher, but most of the time I don't. Zhenxi told Mr. and Mrs. Sato that the reply he got was that the child was tinkering around the edges, but Zhenxi knew that some of Hiro's injuries were by no means tinkering around the edges.
Only you can protect Hiro. Kim thinks so.
Zhenxi, who has always had excellent grades, doesn't often go to evening self-study classes only for resident students, but goes to the library to read books. She likes to sit by the window in the reading area on the third floor. Except for the floor where the fantasy book she is interested in is located, it can be regarded as a relatively sparsely populated area. Through the window, you can see the person playing in the baseball field, and occasionally you can see the figure of that person. Besides the new library in junior high school, she will also go to the old library in senior high school. Although the environment is not as beautiful as the new library, Zhenxi also likes the atmosphere of the old library. Especially one day, she accidentally found an ancient and lonely garden on the edge of the first floor, like the backyard of a long-abandoned villa. There is a strange sense of beauty. A white kitten jumped out of the flowerbed covered with weeds. Zhenxi walked over and marveled at its beautiful heterochromatic pupil hole, blue. I really want to think of the kitten I once fed with Uncle Hong. I also have such a beautiful heterochromatic pupil. I had to leave it because I moved. The young kitten should not live long, and there is no one to feed it, because it is pitiful. Zhenxi touched its head and got a close response, so she gave it the same name as the kitten-White.
I turned my head and stumbled upon an old library. Zhenxi likes the old fantasy books in it and studies there almost every night, just like finding a secret base in a mysterious garden. Later, I found a hidden treasure in this secret base and went in through an obscure black door.
Out of curiosity about these unnamed books-or notebooks-I read the latest one, but I couldn't understand it and put it on the highest empty shelf. Zhenxi is very interested in these mysterious notes, and then she often comes to this secret garden, perhaps only she knows, to read books and study these strange notes. For the first time, she understood one of them and used it according to the rules. Jin Xi was unconscious for a moment, and when she came to her senses, she turned to the page of her notebook and there appeared a pattern like a cat silhouette. Zhenxi turned over a lot of notes and borrowed some notes and books. Those books can briefly let her enter a fantasy world without real pain. Her favorite supernatural spell came from there, and there was a blank page at the end. If you look carefully, there are thin horizontal lines on it, as if writing down your feelings for readers. Zhenxi likes this picture book very much, but it is too thin. The fantasy world she just came to suddenly ended, which made her sober and return to reality, but she could continue. Jane wants to keep this secret. Although almost no one else will come, I carefully arrange the shelves tightly before I leave, just blocking the small door.
Whenever school is over on Friday, Zhenxi will pick up Hiroshi from primary school before going home and often talk to him about school. For example, teachers and classmates are fine, and the school library is beautiful. Hiroshi will come here to study in the future, and we can be together often. Hongzhi didn't react too much when he heard this. Only when he talks about meeting a kitten at school will he look happy and say that he wants to see it, too.
The first time I spoke to Yushanlan was shortly after the second semester of Senior One started. I really want to know who he is, the boy who jumped into the river and the guy who left a shadow on Hong. No affection, no intersection.
On the day of speaking, several girls, including Yao Xiang, blocked Jane in the classroom where everyone left after school, intending to teach the teacher a lesson. Yao Xiang never likes to occupy her brothers and sisters, and she will make trouble with her from time to time. Jin-hee, who doesn't want to cause trouble, has always just endured silently, just like in that family, where there are just a few more people, which makes no difference to her.
"Is that you? Spitting women who complain to teachers! "
"Don't think that top students can get the protection of teachers!" Several girls gathered around her, scolded a few words and began to throw her book and stepped on it several times. Yao Xiang stood behind watching with a straight face, and then walked up to her. "It is you, isn't it? Answer me! "
"No" Jin-hee calmly looked at the book on the ground.
"Little cheating! Who else but you! " Say that finish, Yao Xiang kicked Jin Xi. Jin-hee squatted down, clutching her stomach, and then several people punched and kicked. She knew it was useless to resist, but she just covered her head and did nothing else.
"Wow, we really want to be such a bitch. What kind of flower is this? " One of the girls picked up an open brown notebook that was thrown on the ground. "What the hell is that font?" Jin-hee stood up to grab the notes and was pushed to the ground by the girl next to her.
Yaoxiang took it and looked at it disdainfully. "It's really true. What you write is beyond the comprehension of normal people. You're not reading any cult spells, are you? " Then he kicked her.
"What are you doing?" A man appeared at the door of the classroom.
"It's none of your business, Yu," Yao Xiang said to him unnaturally, and then looked at Jin Xi on the ground. "... forget it this time, let's go. "Before leaving, I threw my notes aside at will.
"Are you all right?" Jin Xi did not respond to Yushan's outstretched hand, stood up, cut her hair and clothes, and began to pick up books on the ground. Yushan also squatted down to help her pick it up. When she touched the brown notebook, Jin Xi suddenly grabbed it with some excitement.
"Thank you ..." Jin Xi whispered with his head down.
It was Friday, and Zhenxi was going to meet Hiroshi at the primary school, just in the same direction as Yushan's family. They walked silently together, and both of them were quiet along the way, and no one spoke first.
This man is also a freak. I really want to.
On Friday after that, the two always walked together from school to primary school in a tacit understanding. People who are not good at talking are also used to silence. True Heezen tried to guess why he jumped into the river at that time, but there was no answer, but he didn't take the initiative to ask. It is also out of a fear that Hong will never see Yushan, and always says goodbye to him at the gate of the primary school. This moment of farewell is the most enjoyable conversation between the two.
"I'm going to meet my brother. Goodbye. "
"... goodbye. "
Gradually, the two people will start chatting, chatting, talking about the books they have read, and sometimes talking about their wishes and future, but they have never mentioned the incident of jumping into the river that night or their respective families. They probably knew they had something in common, but they just didn't find it. Later, although there was no communication at school, they would still go to the library after school every afternoon, sit across a row of seats and read books, and then chat on the way to pick up Uncle Hong every Friday. Lan thinks she likes the short and quiet time in the library. Occasionally, when I look up casually, I can see Kuroda's eyes and face hanging down from the book, because her long black hair falls on her side face from time to time, habitually dialing her fingers behind her ears over and over again.
"You didn't go to the library yesterday." On the way to school, Yushan spoke first.
"Ah, I went to high school to look up information ... Does Yu Shanjun like fantasy books?" I don't know why I didn't mention the old collection directly with Yushan.
"That sounds good. What's your name? " The problems in Yushan all sound like declarative sentences, with no ups and downs.
"Recommend the supernatural spell, although it feels more like a fairy tale, but it is quite interesting. Do you want to see it? "
"Very good." Zhenxi seems to show a rare look of happiness and takes out a book with a brown cover from her bag. It's not thick, but it looks old but it's very textured. Yushan stretched out his hand and took it, and noticed Jane's right hand was thin.
"Your hand."
"Nothing." Jin-hee casually withdrew her hand. "... where is your face? "I'm really happy to have noticed the red mark on the left face of Yushan.
"I was accidentally hit by a baseball, nothing." Lan light said.
"You don't have to go if you don't want to." Kuroda knew that Lan had joined the baseball club. This is Takano's invitation. Lan could not refuse, so she had to compromise. She doesn't like it. She just helped her classmates, although she didn't get any thanks.
"Huh?"
"It's okay. By the way, there is a lovely kitten over there. "
"High school library?"
"yes. I named it White. I once had a kitten named White. "
"Good name."
"... go and see it next time. "Jane city seems to think of the kitten again, with a smile.
One day, although it appeared in the new middle school library for the first time, Zhenxi recognized it at a glance.
"White?" Hearing her call, she ran to their feet. "I actually ran over."
"So you are White."
Yushan crouched down and touched the dark kitten, which had a very beautiful heterochromatic pupil and smiled gently. This seems to be the first time Jin-hee has seen him smile. They fed the kitten some of their own food, and it rubbed their fingers very intimately. After that, they often come here to feed the kittens. It seems to have an induction to the name Baiyu. When it is called, it will appear from a pile of grass.
The * * * degree for such a short time did not last long. One day, when I was playing with a kitten, my classmates saw me, so there was a rumor that they were dating.
"Can't you? Those two. Really? It is worthy of being first and second. "
"Feather mountain is serious? But in a sense, the two are really well matched. "
"Puppy love is nothing to Kuroda."
"Maybe very good at it."
"I can't see. I thought Kuroda was the kind of girl who would never fall in love early. Sure enough, she can't just look at the appearance. "
"How did they get together like wood?"
......
Zhenxi weak gas's excuse only attracted more ridicule, and even the teacher's seemingly well-meaning advice. Yushan is naturally not good at dealing with this kind of thing. He defended himself once or twice, then just kept silent. At the same time, he also acquiesced that Jin Xi was deliberately alienated.
After that, there was almost no intersection with Yushan, like two parallel lines, and the students' clumsy laughter finally lost its fun.
Since then, Zhenxi seldom reads books in the junior high school library, or only borrows books and then goes to the old high school library. Occasionally, when he sees Yushan, he will only pretend not to see it. On Friday afternoon, Jin-hee turned into a person walking on the way to meet Hiro. Hiro is as silent as ever. Zhenxi held his hand tightly and stopped talking.
The reason why we had a big fight with Yaoxiang was because one weekend, Hiroshi fainted in the room after taking a shower. I wish I could find his shocking injury.
"It's not me! Do you have any evidence? " Yaoxiang was heartbroken by really crying Sheila, thinking that she was probably crazy.
"Who else but you? You've done this before. Why are you so vicious? " Zhenxi, who was excited to start work, was stopped by Yaoxiang's father. Although I didn't know the truth, I still protected my daughter.
"Send Uncle Hong to the hospital first."
Hongshu is not in danger, but it will take a long time to recover. Looking at Hiroshi lying in the hospital bed again, Jin-hee recovered her calm. Although Yao Xiang always denied it, she tried to convince Jin Xi that it was not her. Jin-hee didn't respond and stopped arguing with her. On the contrary, she thanked the Sato couple very calmly.
Yao Xiang, who was treated coldly, was very unfair, but her parents stopped her from trying to argue with her, so Yao Xiang, who was unwilling, decided to go to school to solve the matter.
"Kuroda, come here and find me."
"I have nothing to talk about with you."
"Do you want to slander me again? Make it clear. "
"If you come to the library alone, I'll talk to you."
Yushan, sitting in the back row, watched Jin Xi walk out of the classroom with her bag on her back. Yushan is also going to go out to the library to borrow a book, and by the way, he also returned the supernatural spell that he didn't have time to give to Kuroda. Although the serial number of this book is a bit strange, it doesn't look like the common serial number of the library, but it can only be considered as borrowed from the library.
When I went to the junior high school library, I noticed that the white flowers that seemed to be open the day before yesterday on the flower bed at the door had withered today.
After returning the book, Yushan saw Zhenxi with her hair hanging freely in the reading room, with tears in her eyes and a puzzled expression on her face.
Lan found a red cherry headband in the north window of the fantasy book area on the third floor of the library, and a black shadow fell from the window in the corner of her eye, which was white. Lan went to the window to see where it was going. Her eyes swept to the red tile roof on the first floor, facing the bottom of the window. Some tiles seem to have been smashed by something, and some are broken and scattered all over the floor.
The next day, after school, Jin-hee, who is always used to being the last to leave, is slowly packing her things. Yushan in the back seat walked beside her and handed her the headband, ready to leave. Zhenxi looks like a cherry hair band that has been carefully polished. I don't remember when it fell.
"I'm sorry ... thank you."
