Forget about hope

?Today is the weekend, that idiot Xia Mingxiao was dragged back to school by the teacher for a make-up exam because he failed the exam, and he hasn't been released yet.

Lu Xiao was still sitting in the middle of the playground. The white snow passed through his body and landed on the green artificial lawn. Qin Yuqi once hoped that Lu Xiao would be a chatterbox, so that he could confide any sad things. But Lu Xiao was surprisingly quiet, no matter whether it was cold winter or hot summer, he was so quietly sad.

On a great weekend, she was dragged back to school by the teacher to take the make-up exam. Xia Mingxiao's complaints turned into crooked pen writing.

He seems to be able to hear Qin Yuqi laughing at him behind his back all the time recently, this feeling is really unpleasant.

What's the point of learning something, even if you learn it well?Didn't Qin Yuqi, who was always number one in the class, die because of an accident?The weather is unpredictable, since Qin Yuqi's mourning ceremony was held in the class, almost everyone is not sure whether they can see the sun tomorrow, and then their class's grades have dropped several times from the first class in the grade ranking.

However, Qin Yuqi couldn't be blamed for this, and if Qin Yuqi heard this, he would definitely be furious.

Holding the passing report card, Xia Mingxiao walked out of the teaching building. It was getting dark, but he had nothing to do. When he was wandering aimlessly in the empty campus, Xia Mingxiao suddenly saw An old man about five or sixty years old walked in.It can be seen that the old man was a trainer when he was young. His shoulders were broad and strong, his feet were steady, and he felt very tough.

Although they passed by, Xia Mingxiao always felt that he had seen that old man somewhere.

Oh, right.That old man has been on TV, his name is Lu Hexi, he is the hero of this city!

Lu Hexi has never done anything that she regrets in her life, but not having regrets does not mean not blaming herself.

Lu Hexi has a younger brother named Lu Xiao who is 16 years younger than herself. He has big eyes and smiles like a silly kid.He likes his younger brother very much, and he decides to protect this younger brother at all times.

In order to take care of Lu Xiao, he was willing to live a life of being a father, a mother and a part-time brother. With Lu Xiao around, he felt that no matter how hard life was, it didn't matter.He is a strict brother, but also a gentle brother. He doesn't care about other people's eyes, he only cares about whether his younger brother is happy or not.

However, when he sees a disaster happening, when he sees those people in need, can he not lend a helping hand?

He is Lu Xiao's elder brother. He is a firefighter. He is a member of this society. It is his dream to save others.Therefore, he put those lives in need first.

Lu Hexi had never been so anxious. On his way to the meeting point with Lu Xiao, there were many people asking for help from him, and he felt that he couldn't ignore it.Not long after, a call from the leader ended his vacation, and he was sent to other places for disaster relief.

I'm sorry, Lu Xiao, please wait a little longer, I will definitely reach you!

Lu Xiao, you are still waiting for me, right?

About two days later, when it was finally possible to see Lu Xiao, Lu Hexi ran to the dormitory building with all her strength.Lu Hexi hoped that Lu Xiao could be brought out by other people, and he also hoped to see a complete dormitory building, and he could see Lu Xiao waiting for him standing under the dormitory building.But when she saw the ruined school and the small remains that were carried out not far away, Lu Hexi felt unprecedented despair.

Sorry I'm so late...

After a long, long time, Lu Hexi became the hero of the city, everyone respected him and adored him, he was awarded the highest commendation from the government that he didn't need at all, his story was infinitely exaggerated by the news media and became a popular ideological As a role model, he lived a life that was many times better than before, while his only relative was forever left under the ruins.

Lu Hexi watched his former home turn into a tree-lined park, watched a high school be built on top of the school where Lu Xiao was buried, watched everyone he knew get married and have children and retire home, and watched himself He became a gray-haired but lonely old man.

He didn't dare to go to the place where he had agreed to meet with Lu Xiao. He was afraid of seeing a small corpse that was beginning to rot waiting for him. He was afraid that Lu Xiao would blame him for not rushing to rescue Lu Xiao immediately. , Blame him for failing to keep the agreement, blame him for receiving countless honors because of his death.

Lu Hexi felt that he was not qualified to see Lu Xiao again in this life, so he was even more afraid of going to the dormitory that was no longer there.Lu Hexi felt that he was not worthy of being loved in this life, so he was always alone

Then, thirty years passed.

Perhaps time can really change a person. When Lu Hexi's hair was all white, she also realized that she was really old, and the old one had forgotten any fears and fears.

From the day when he could hear a childish voice calling "Brother, Brother" in his ear every day, Lu Hexi made up his mind to go to the place where they agreed to meet.Even if Lu Xiao really blamed him and hated him, he still wanted to fulfill the promise of "will definitely come".After all, if you don't go to that place to meet that person, you will really blame yourself for the rest of your life.

So, today, he plucked up his courage and stepped into this campus.

For Qin Yuqi and Lu Xiao, who can't feel the cold, watching snow is a pleasant thing, but for Lu Hexi, who has been tortured by the wind and cold for a long time, winter is quite difficult. Xia Mingxiao's impression of snowball fights in winter,

Hearing the sound of someone stepping on the snow behind them, Qin Yuqi and Lu Xiao turned their heads together.

Lu Hexi was looking for, looking for the impression of the former dormitory building, looking for Lu Xiao who was waiting for her in front of the dormitory building.But the ruins disappeared and turned into a playground, and now he couldn't see Lu Xiao who had turned into a ghost. Based on this imagination alone, it was difficult for Lu Hexi to find the agreement made 30 years ago.

So, he closed his eyes and stood in the snow. He seemed to be able to see the dormitory building that hadn't collapsed, and saw Lu Xiao quietly waiting for him to come in front of the building.

He seemed to see Lu Xiao, who was still only a teenager, ran over excitedly when he saw him coming.

He called him: "Brother."

"Lu Xiao, I'm here."

Lu Hexi said in an old and small voice.

Shock, joy, sadness, anger, which word is more appropriate to describe Lu Xiao's current mood?

Maybe both, he was shocked, he even thought he was dreaming, but ghosts probably don't dream.He was happy because he finally saw his brother.He was very angry, because he remembered that his brother had abandoned him, and he hadn't appeared in the past 30 years.He is also very sad. When his brother comes, if his wish comes true, then he should disappear too.

Lu Xiao knew that the old man in front of him was his elder brother. Even after more than 30 years, he could still recognize Lu Hexi and the elder brother he had been waiting for for a long time.Even though his hair is gray, Lu Hexi still looks tall and straight, with undiminished heroism. He is still the most powerful and greatest brother that Lu Xiao can absolutely trust.

Lu Xiao stood up, put aside all worries and anxieties, and ran over excitedly. He just hugged Lu Hexi, even though Lu Hexi could no longer feel his presence.

Lu Xiao once wanted to leave.

Lu Xiao once resented the brother who abandoned her.

Lu Xiao understands that he has been refusing to leave just because he is afraid of losing the purpose of existence and disappearing for no apparent reason.

Lu Xiao hated her own incompetence and also hated her brother's selflessness.

However, all the sadness, anger, and anxiety disappeared the moment he saw Lu Hexi.Now Lu Xiao just wants to hug her brother all the time, and wants to exist in this world all the time.

On this snowy evening, he has a new wish

However, the wish of "seeing my brother" has already come true, but I am still so greedy, is it really okay?

From the sky came the sound of the train wheels rubbing against the rails, and a rush of train whistles pulled Lu Xiao back from her joy. That might be the death knell before it disappeared.

That's right, my brother's promise has been fulfilled, and my own wish has also been fulfilled. The time to disappear has indeed come.Is that the sound of the gods calling the souls of the dead?

A boy who looked no more than twelve or thirteen years old and dressed in aqua blue suddenly appeared with a big scythe. The boy ignored Xia Mingxiao and Lu Hexi who were stunned as the living, and went straight to the dead. Dumbfounded, Lu Xiao and Qin Yuqi walked over.

"Hi, I'm a ghost messenger, my name is Zhou Siqi, and my serial number is 724080319013. I'm here to pick you up to go to the Ministry of Health." The boy said with a smile

"You...you are the god of death??" Qin Yuqi exclaimed.

The young man looked Qin Yuqi up and down and said, "No, I'm just an ordinary ghost messenger."

Qin Yuqi pointed to the sickle in his hand: "Then what is this?"

"Decoration," the boy replied honestly, "you haven't got your wish yet, have you?"

"You..." Lu Hexi couldn't believe it, "Is it a dream?"

The young man smiled: "Hee hee, the guy who dreamed that he met a ghost in the snow is really sad."

"Can you see... him?" Lu Hexi asked softly, he could vaguely feel that the train that almost caused his heart attack had something to do with Lu Xiao.

"Oh, I'm just an ordinary ghost job. I don't understand what's so difficult," the boy said with a smirk.

Ordinary ghosts... no wonder!It's not ordinary if it's a ghost, right?The two ghosts complained silently in their hearts.

"But..." the boy continued: "We only accept ghosts that have fulfilled their wishes, so you can rest assured that your agreement with someone has been fulfilled!"

After finishing speaking, the boy set his eyes on Lu Xiao again and said, "Let's go!"

Walk?How to go?Things haven't been explained yet, have they?Of course Qin Yuqi didn't want to let Lu Xiao leave like this, and Xia Mingxiao also wanted to find out what was going on.However, the two of them vaguely felt that there was nothing wrong with them at this stage, so they had no choice but to shut up obediently.

Lu Xiao knew that now she could only get in the car and leave. Although she hadn't said a few words to her brother whom she finally met, and although she felt a little bit reluctant to Qin Yuqi, who was also a friend, he still had to go on the road alone in the end. .

"Well, brother, goodbye."

Lu Xiao looked at Lu Hexi and said goodbye reluctantly.He knew that Lu Hexi couldn't hear him, but he had no regrets seeing Lu Hexi today, and it was time to go.

"Oh, by the way, Qin Yuqi, goodbye!"

Lu Xiao waved her hand to Qin Yuqi. Although she still had a lot to say, Qin Yuqi chose to quietly watch Lu Xiao leave.

"He's saying goodbye to you!"

The young man smiled at Lu Hexi.

Then, Qin Yuqi watched the young man lead Lu Xiao into a completely transparent form. At the last moment, Lu Xiao showed a forced smile, and then disappeared into the sky.

30 years of waiting, 30 years of confusion, 30 years of helplessness, and 30 years of loneliness turned into white snow, and the winter playground bloomed with white light in the setting sun.

For this moment of farewell that he has been looking forward to for a long time, no matter how much he pays, it is worth it!Lu Xiao kept thinking this way.

"See you."

Lu Hexi looked at the sky with a smile and said, at some point, his eyes were filled with tears.

Lu Xiao left, Lu Hexi also left, and Qin Yuqi was the only one left in the empty campus.

Qin Yuqi was thinking about what the young man said, could he disappear from this world only if he fulfilled his wish during his lifetime?

Before he died, he thought countless times, 'What kind of broken world is this, it's better to die! 'However, when he returned to this world in the form of a ghost, he realized that he was so reluctant to part with this world.This is the so-called not being in charge of the family, not knowing the price of firewood and rice, not knowing the kindness of parents without raising children, not knowing how to live without being a ghost.

Qin Yuqi was actually quite disappointed.Lu Xiao is his second friend who can be called a friend so far. Although Xia Mingxiao knows his existence, they have no way to communicate at all, and Lu Xiao likes to talk to Qin Yuqi very much. I like to listen to Qin Yuqi talk.However, now that Lu Xiao had fulfilled her wish, she got on that train and left, leaving Qin Yuqi alone.

Of course, he is not lonely with Xia Mingxiao by his side, and there are so many ghosts in the world, there are always other ghosts willing to be friends with him!And Qin Yuqi was quite happy for Lu Xiao to realize her wish.

Now Qin Yuqi is troubled by another question - what is his own wish?

Qin Yuqi never considered any wishes.Maybe, Qin Yuqi has a wish that she doesn't even know about.

Don't worry, look for it slowly.

Anyway, as a ghost, he can always exist. ?
