As time flies, I only care about you

Chapter 17

While the air conditioner was blowing cool wind, it made an unpleasant noise.

Just being hugged by him in the same place without moving, my restless heart gradually calmed down, and the hand clenched by my side loosened.

For a moment, he gently pushed me away, but kept his hands on my shoulders, his lips parted slightly, hesitant to speak, and then he put me in his arms, who hadn't calmed down yet.

Unwilling to give up, I asked in a low voice, "Brother, is this true? If you want to leave, can you take me with you?"

"No." He pushed me away and stared into my eyes, "You are grandma's follower, grandma will be very sad if you leave."

"Then you are still the baby recognized by the family, they are willing to let you go?" My defense line has begun to waver, and I am holding on to make the last effort.

He thought for a while, and explained to me what his grandfather said to him, "The sea is wide and the birds are flying high. Do you know what it means?"

I looked at him and shook my head. I should have seen it in which book, but I forgot.

"The vastness and boundlessness of nature provides a wide space for fish to leap and birds to fly. The world is so big, no matter whether there is room for us, we must learn to survive the fittest. The reality of society is cruel, and we will face it in the future." There are many things, and where we are now, the technology learned is very limited. Do you understand?"

The landline rang in the living room, and his hand left my shoulder.

I looked at him in confusion and nodded. If I had to use a song to describe my contradictory mood at that time, "Little Boy" would be the most appropriate song.

The evening before he left, with the approval of his parents, he rode a bicycle and took me to the movie theater in the city to watch "The Lion King". He bought me popcorn, soda, and ice cream that day.

It rained at night, and he and I were both drenched on the way home.

Before dawn the next day, there was an iron-packed white rabbit toffee next to my pillow. I heard his footsteps as he opened the door curtain and left. I wanted to open my eyes but couldn’t. He was extremely sensitive, and when the sound of closing the door came, tears flowed from the corners of his eyes involuntarily.

Hiding from the rain under the eaves, I recalled the scenes in the past and watched him cry, "Brother, I'm stupid, he (she) will bully me, I don't want you to go!"

In fact, I can't blame others. Occasionally, I will find trouble to bully others. In Du Jun's words, that person deserves to be unlucky, and he just hit the gun.

Once I bought snacks at the canteen and went to the platform on the second floor to play. There were many small white stones there. While eating ice cream, I drew on the ground with chalk. When I got carried away, I held a handful of small white stones in my hand Throw it downstairs like a sprinkle.

Soon there was an angry scolding from a strange boy, I poked my head out cautiously, and saw a big brother who was strong and dark, he also spotted me, pointed at me, and asked if it was something I threw?
My legs were trembling badly, but I refused to admit that I was beaten to death. Just when he was about to rush up and beat me, my brother appeared. I asked him for help, and soon the two of us wrestled. He couldn't beat my brother, but I found my father very quickly. Afterwards, my brother was severely beaten by my father, and I was carried to the wall by my father to think about it for three hours.

As the rain continued, he took out a Shunzhi Tongbao coin from his pocket and put it in my hand, "Just hold it when you are in trouble, and everything will be solved."

Memories float, he left the compound just before his 18th birthday, when I was 13.
