Saving The Villain Boy

After Yan Qiwei left, Liang Xiao was left alone looking at the gift box in a daze.

Each person's unique mind was hidden in the confined space enclosed by ribbons, and his heart began to beat wildly because of those unknown joys.

The first gift to be opened came from Liang Qi and Chen Jiayi.

The box that contained it was scary, almost half a person tall, and only one copy occupies most of the space. After opening the ribbon, I found that several small boxes were stacked upright inside.

Opening the top one, he saw a letter.

The letter paper was faintly yellowish, and some of the delicate and beautiful writing was blurred by the liquid and stained with light black ink.

"Dear Liang Xiao:

Hello there.

Today you finally turned one year old, happy birthday.

The pear blossoms in the yard bloomed a tree, the petals fell all over the ground, and swallows were nesting on the branches of the tree. I wonder if you can smell the fragrance of flowers there.

The haze in the imperial capital is getting worse again. Early in the morning, you can see a vast expanse of whiteness. Your father joked that it reminds him of thick milk, but I think it is like a scene in a horror movie. Every time this time, I hope to have you with me. By your side.

We tried every conceivable method, but tried to find your trace but found nothing. It wasn't until I joined the family search group that I knew that there were so many families like us.

Too many parents have given up their jobs and pursued them for more than ten years, and have never reunited with their children. There is a huge crowd, and we are all looking for a needle in a haystack. But even if there is only this glimmer of hope, it is enough to become the driving force to support us.

Liang Xiao, don't give up waiting, mom and dad will find you one day.

Your surname is Liang, and your name is taken from "A Peaceful and Quiet Night". Today is your first birthday.

We will always love you. "

The signature is "Mom".

This is not Chen Jiayi's handwriting, the author should be his biological mother who died young.

Liang Xiao has only seen her in a few precious old photos. The picturesque woman has a pair of autumn water-like amber pupils, always wearing a plain dress, pursing her mouth shyly and gracefully.

Liang Qi once told him that his biological mother looked for him until he died of a serious illness. She closed her eyes and grabbed Liang Qi's wrist with all her strength.

"Don't forget Liang Xiao."

He thought he had lived alone and helplessly for so many years, but he never knew that in a remote corner of the world, someone loved him with all his life.

But she hadn't been able to tell him the love that was so firm that it was almost paranoid and could not be communicated.

Liang Xiao held his breath and stroked the tears of the dizzy handwriting on his fingertips. After sixteen years, he finally touched the traces of her existence.

A major symptom of stress-induced mental disorder is weak emotions or even lack of emotion. He is always out of the crowd, and his emotions, anger, sorrow, and joy are all locked in the solid glacier in the bottom of his heart.

But at this moment, in the suddenly shattered icy debris, the turbulent torrent engulfed thousands of emotions, breaking down and tearing the originally unbreakable ice seal, and the undercurrent lurking in the depths swallowed all thoughts with an overwhelming momentum.

Almost drowned him.

A tear fell after a long time, because of the person who has never seen and will never meet again.

The night was as quiet as before, and the evening breeze moved the curtains.

After reading the letter, it was the second gift.

This box is much larger than the previous one, and it contains a remote-controlled model sports car.

There is also a letter on the model.

"son:

happy Birthday!

Your mother has gone far, far away, and there is no way to come back to write to you for the time being. This task will be completed by your father.

Today my dad bought you a super cool sports car, um, a model machine. When you grow up to take a driver’s license, I’ll buy another one. Really, we can’t drive without a license, right.

A few days ago, an aunt in the mutual aid group finally found her daughter. The little girl was abducted at the age of five, and now she is seventeen. She was unable to communicate normally with others due to long-term abuse, and she has no impression of her biological parents. But anyway, fortunately, the family was finally reunited.

I believe that one day we can also find you.

Please hold on, we still have hope. "

The inscription is "The Incompetent Father".

It is hard to imagine what kind of mood Liang Qi wrote this text.

After being abducted and trafficked, his son was missing, his wife passed away from a serious illness, and there were countless affairs waiting to be resolved in the company. In such a mess of life, he still pretended to write "hope" with optimism.

The next box contained the gifts that Liang Qi prepared for him every year.

Three-year-old new clothes, four-year-old new school bag, five-year-old Lego toy...Each gift is covered with a letter. Time wears off, but love never fades away.

In the sixteenth box, there is a car key.

This time, the handwriting on the envelope is completely different from before, and the free and easy small characters are obviously from female handwriting.

"Dear Liang Xiao:

happy Birthday.

Fortunately, you finally came back. The moment I heard your news, your father and I wept with joy and felt like dreaming.

I am not your biological mother. Your mother is a very great woman. No one can replace her. What you need to be sure is that she unreservedly dedicated the love of the second half of her life to you, even if the time you get along is so short.

I know that you have suffered a lot, and it is inevitable that you cannot adapt to this new environment that is incompatible with the past. But no need to be afraid, as family members, we will always be by your side.

Your parents, me, Weiwei, and Bo Zhong, we were originally unrelated individuals. Because our destiny is linked together, there is no doubt that everyone loves you deeply.

Please don't belittle yourself, and don't feel lonely and helpless. You are no different from other people of your age. Everyone's journey will not be meaningless. Now you are a very good and very good child, and we are proud of you.

Life is still long, and you have unlimited possibilities.

ps. Your father is so happy that he bought this car without thinking. I have already taught him a lesson. Remember not to drive without a license.

pps. Son, I am a father! I can finally have a name on this letter! Jiayi was shy and did not say, but in fact, since we got married, all the gifts were prepared by the two of us together. I asked her to write to you a long time ago, but she always felt that she was not your biological mother, so she was embarrassed to write. Remember, everyone likes you very much. No one can compare to my Liang Qi's son. happy Birthday!

ppps. My goodness, your dad drank too much when he was excited, and he wrote something...Don't learn from him! "

Liang Xiao gently raised the corners of his mouth.

After the death of his biological mother, Liang Qi fell into a state of mild depression, and Chen Jiayi was his personal psychiatrist.

The two gradually went from acquaintance to acquaintance. Taking into account the love of the dead wife, she silently accompanied him as a friend for several years. During this period, she devoted no less effort to the search for Liang Xiao than Liang Qi.

She never said it herself, but he actually knew it.

After reading this largest box, the next is Zheng Zeyu's small pink gift box.

Before opening the ribbon, Liang Xiao had already prepared his mind, but after seeing the present inside, he couldn't help but be taken aback.

A mobile phone with post-it notes glued to the screen.

"No password, open it yourself."

He took it out carefully, and a video appeared after turning on the screen.

In the video, there is a male student wearing glasses, who is the monitor of their class. He smiled shyly at the camera, pushed his glasses and said, "Hello Liang Xiao, happy birthday! I have always been embarrassed to tell you, in fact, you are my study idol. How could anyone improve so quickly in grades? Just like riding a rocket, we rushed forward. When the monthly test results came out, we and the teacher were shocked. Please continue to cheer, and I will work hard!"

The camera flickered, and the person before the video became a small literary committee.

She smiled and waved to the camera: "Liang Xiao, happy birthday! I am so happy to finally have the opportunity to talk to you! Thank you for raising the pitiful appearance below the average line of boys in our class, girls I often discuss you quietly in the evening! We all want to be friends with you. Can you not be so cold and talk to everyone occasionally?"

She paused, lowered her voice and continued: "Also, Zheng Zeyu's begging attitude is so harsh. As a friend, can you teach him a lesson?"

The camera shook, and Zheng Zeyu's voice came out: "I'm right here, hello! Little girl film!"

It turned out that he collected birthday wishes for Liang Xiao from every classmate in the class.

Smiling faces stayed in front of him for a short time and then flashed quickly. This was the first time Liang Xiao had come into contact with other students in the class so close.

His inferiority complex has not subsided, and he is always worried that other people will laugh at him because of his past. In addition, he has repeated symptoms, and he has no desire to communicate with others.

It turned out that everyone was smiling when facing him.

Zheng Zeyu's figure appeared at the end. He smiled and scratched his head: "Hello Liang Xiao, happy birthday! I have been thinking about what gifts should be given for a long time. Your family is so rich, and the vulgar objects that can be bought with money will not be able to enter. Your eyes, so Brother Yu, I decided to collect the blessings from the classmates and give it to you. Don’t feel clichéd! It’s really tiring and hard work!"

He was a little embarrassed when he said: "The first time I met you, such a simple and unpretentious rich second generation, it is actually quite cute. To celebrate, I wrote you a poem-ah, birthday! You were on the sixteenth Looking into the distance at the other end of the year, time keeps on remembering, and tonight’s Liang Xiao has turned into a bunch of fireworks in the sky..."

Yan Qiwei's frustrated voice resounded behind the camera: "Zheng Zeyu, you just exploded!!"

Then there was a flurry of jerking, Zheng Zeyu yelled as he ran, "I didn't mean that! This is an exaggerated and metaphorical rhetoric, which vividly expresses your brother's excitement and joy...Oh, don't slap your face! By the way Night! This phone belongs to me. After you read it, remember to bring it back to me the next day!"

The video is black.

Liang Xiaoyang smiled.

Aunt Shen gave him gloves and scarves woven by hand; Uncle Chen’s gift is a simple self-defense technique he summarized himself, painted half a notebook; Guo Mengmeng, as a schoolmaster, summarized the difficult points of each subject Learn skills with yourself; Liang Bozhong’s box contains his favorite monster figure, and a sticky note is written on the side: "This is the baby that has been with me for three years. Its super power is to bring people good luck. Since I bought it, my luck has been very good. Brother Liang Xiao, happy birthday."

There is one last box left.

Liang Xiao's heart began to beat wildly uncontrollably.

—That is her gift.

Yan Qiwei's gift box is not big, it's off-white all over, and it looks inconspicuous in the colorful packaging.

Liang Xiao picked it up very carefully, the palm of his hand was light, and there was not much weight.

He couldn't wait to find out, but somehow there was cowardice in his heart, and he didn't dare to open it. After a long pause, he stretched out his hand to untie the ribbon.

The box contained a palm-sized notebook and a rolled up kraft paper. He opened the notebook first. The first page was impressively written "Liang Xiao's Monopoly Adventure".

He couldn't figure it out, lowered his eyes and turned a page.

"Liang Xiao, happy sixteenth birthday!

My gift is a bit weird, even if you don’t like it, you have to pretend to like it when you see me!

What I am giving you is a game of Monopoly. There are no dice in this game. You need to get points through learning progress or making friends in your daily life. Different points will lead to different rewards.

The specific score table is as follows:

Accumulated three times actively seeking someone to talk to and lasted for five minutes +1

Lecture questions to other students three times in total +2

Meet a new friend +3

Advance 50th place in grade +3

Participate in collective activities such as sports games, cultural evenings, competitions + 3

Complimented by other students +1

50 back in grade ranking-3

Criticized by the teacher-1

…

The above are the points details.

Let's open the rolled kraft paper below! Remember to turn to the next page after reading. "

What did she think about it, he would definitely read the notebook first.

Liang Xiao smiled silently and unfolded the paper.

Draw a monopoly-style circular chessboard with black pen on kraft paper. The starting point is on the far left. The grid to the right reads "Nothing", "Reward a popsicle", "Go forward two squares", and "Reward." A homemade dessert by Liang Wei", "Nothing", "Take you to eat whatever you want"...

It really is a chess and card game.

Liang Xiao looked at the slightly childish rewards, and a smile came up in his eyes.

She knew that he was not sociable because of the shadows of the old days, and almost isolated herself from other people around, so she thought of this way, trying to help him out of the small world of self-constrained loneliness.

Deliberately and carefully, try not to touch the youth's sensitive self-esteem.

The gentleness is almost unbearable.

Liang Xiaozai carefully read all the rewards in the grid, and opened the next page of his notebook.

"note:

1. The points are recorded by Liang Xiao himself. I believe you are a good honest boy.

2. Liang Wei bears all expenses, no thanks.

3. If you happen to come to the ‘please Liang Xiao eat anything you want’ or ‘help Liang Xiao buy anything you want’, you must be merciful! you are the best!

4. Every time you finish a cycle, you can ask me to draw random prizes.

Rewards include: a novel bar experience, go to the amusement park together, walk in the city, go over the wall and skip class to go out to play, a happy night in KTV, travel wherever you want, camping in the mountains, etc.

Only you can't think of it, and I can't do it without me, is there any super expectation!

5. To celebrate Liang Xiao’s birthday, you can make an exception and come to me to draw a prize directly.

6. Right, right! If you retreat after being punished, you won't be able to get that reward! Don't try to take advantage of it! "

The content came to an abrupt end.

This gift is so incredible that Liang Xiao repeatedly looked at it three times.

The girl's handwriting was round and full, like the cute paws of a cat, scratching his heart when she glanced over.

Like a ghost, even knowing that there is no more content in the back, he almost greedily held the notebook in his hand, flipping through the pages quickly, imagining what the other person would think when they flipped through it.

The scent of the paper was in the air, and when he turned to a certain page, Liang Xiao's fingertips paused, holding his breath.

It was an ordinary page number, with a line of small and correct characters written on the inside of the clean white paper.

"I'm sorry to write to you directly, although the chances are very small, but if you can read this passage-

Happy birthday, Liang Xiao, everyone likes you very very much.

especially me. "

The surroundings are extremely quiet.

The warm breeze brought the fragrance of a tree in the courtyard, and the moonlight shattered on the balcony, sprinkling a clear ripple.

The ignorant teenager lay flat on the bed, put the notebook on his chest, his palm could vaguely feel the violent beating of his heart.

Like a volcanic eruption.

She said she likes him especially.

So happy.

Even if this love is so simple that there is no trace of personal affection, even if what she said is just the purest family and friendship.

But the combination of those four words was enough to make him raise the corners of his mouth uncontrollably.

I don't know when he has a secret affection for that girl.

Perhaps it was because of the scarf she wrapped around him when he first saw him, and the gentle and warm hug when he fell ill, or because he turned his gaze sideways one day in class and ran into the girl's smiling eyes in the daylight.

This quietly breeding mind is dark and dirty, and she can never speak upright like her, but can only hide it quietly in the bottom of my heart, without anyone knowing it.

Such a restrained smile can only be shown when one is alone.

How lucky to be liked by her.

How Liang Xiao wanted to tell her that he also liked her, especially especially.

Yan Qiwei heard the knock on the door, opened it and saw Liang Xiao.

His hair was as messy as if he had just rolled on the bed, and it was as fluffy and messy as full of untrimmed branches; his eyes and cheeks were flushed, reflecting the pale complexion... it was really tempting.

She couldn't help but laugh at him: "Liang Xiao, you are like a hamster that just woke up."

The young man's face turned redder when he heard that, only then did he realize that his hair was messed up, scratching his head indiscriminately, lowered his eyes and hurriedly said: "I, I'm here to draw."

Then add another sentence: "Thank you, I like the gift very much."

Yan Qiwei smiled more happily, turned around and picked up the lottery box from the desk, and ran to him: "Put your hand in and draw a random note."

She thought about it for nearly a week before finally deciding to give him this strange gift.

In the past ten years of Liang Xiao's life, he has been imprisoned in an isolated mountain village. Compared with his peers in the imperial capital, there are too many things that he has never touched.

When they discussed whether to go to the playground or KTV on weekends and which newly opened restaurant was better, all he could do was stay in the dilapidated hut, read and study over and over again, or endure the endless torture of his adoptive parents.

She wanted to compensate him for all the lost and missed experiences.

The Monopoly game uses the point mechanism to make him a better person in the future, and the extra rewards after each round are to fill his past life.

She wanted to take him through those rebellious, wanton, and youthful times.

The boy's voice sounded slowly: "I have chosen."
