In July, the cicadas chirped loudly, making a mess on the tree, and the sunlight came in through the gauze curtain by the window and spread on the ground, forming patches of warm colors.

Gu Miao was sitting at the table doing calculations. She seemed to be in trouble. She was pouting and staring at her cheek with the pen.

After a while, the doorbell was rang non-stop, and Gu Miao got off the chair with bare feet and ran to open the door, without her shoes on.

"Come on, come on, don't worry!"

Gu Miao heard the life-threatening ringing of the doorbell, and hurried over to open the door.The moment the door was opened, the heat wave also slipped in.

There were two little boys about her age standing outside the door. One of them was hugging a big padded jacket. After entering the door, he reached out and took out an ice cream from inside the padded jacket and stuffed it for Gu Miao. He stomped his feet anxiously. :

"Quick, quick,? It hasn't melted, it's still ice!"

Seeing his brother's funny face, Gu Miao couldn't help laughing:

"Brother, what are you doing with your cotton padded coat on a hot day?"

Gu He threw aside the cotton coat that had completed his mission, collapsed under the air conditioner, and waved his hands.

Su Yu put down his schoolbag and helped him explain:

"Don't the convenience store owners always spread a quilt on the freezer? Your brother was afraid that the ice cream would turn into water like last time, so he learned to wrap it in a quilt and ran back."

Gu He took out a piece of paper and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Low-key, low-key."

Then, he rolled his eyes, took the toy gun on the coffee table casually, and suddenly prostrated himself on the ground, and said "biubiu" to Su Yu twice, Su Yu fell to the ground in response, but at the moment before the "sacrifice", he fell to the ground He grabbed a bottle cap and threw it to Gu He's feet.

"It's all over!"

Gu He exaggeratedly pretended to be blown away, and threw himself on the sofa.

Gu Miao looked at these two guys and couldn't help laughing, but then she crossed her waist like a little adult:

"Brother, Brother Su Yu, have you done your homework? Teacher Zhou will check it!"

"How can the two of us understand it? We don't have enough fingers for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division!"

Gu He replied lazily, then turned over on the sofa, tilted his head to look at Gu Miao and said:

"Xiao Miao, have you finished writing the inscription? Come out to play with us. It just so happens that the teacher of the painting class left us homework today. Be a model for me."

"Come on, Gu He, just for your children's painting, you still need a model?"

Su Yu laughed out of breath on the ground:

"You might as well play water gun with me!"

"Brother Su Yu, don't say that."

Gu Miao sat back at her small table and said seriously:

"My brother will definitely be a great painter in the future."

"Did you hear that? My sister is better!"

Gu He happily found an empty schoolbag, put his paper and pen in it, and went to the closet to pick out a small red dress for Gu Miao:

"Xiao Miao, you can wear this later! I want to paint you as a little princess!"

Gu Miao agreed with a smile.

After Gu Miao finished her homework, she changed into the little red dress as Gu He said, and was pushed down to a chair by two boys.

The two clumsily combed the little girl into two crooked braids, took Gu Lan's lipstick on the dressing table, and drew her two round red cheeks.

When going out, Gu He also brought the little wooden horse at home.

They found a place on the lawn outside the community. Gu He put the wooden horse under the tree and asked Gu Miao to sit on it.

"What are you doing?"

Su Yu turned around, but didn't understand.

"You don't understand art."

Gu He moved the bench to sit a little farther away, and took an oil pastel to try on his legs:

"I watch TV shows. The big European painters have to ride horses when they paint kings! My little princess has to ride too! But riding a horse is too vulgar. My brother will draw a dog for you. Let's ride a dog! Don't you like Alaska, we Ride Alaska!"

Gu He was bragging to the sky, so Su Yu squatted beside him to see what he could draw.

Gu He ignored him and continued to paint seriously. Su Yu looked at it for a while and complained:

"Xiao Miao's braid is not like this! You make him ugly!"

"Brother Su Yu, don't laugh! My brother's paintings are the most beautiful!"

Gu Miao was shaking the little wooden horse over there, speaking for Gu He, and Gu He gained confidence:

"Did you hear that? Don't look at it, go to sleep!"

Su Yu had this in mind, he put his peaked cap on his face to block the sun, and lay down on the lawn.

Gu He ignored him. He lowered his head and hugged the drawing book for a while. When he was painting the skirt, he suddenly couldn't find the red oil pastel.

He lowered his head, only to realize that the small box containing the oil pastels fell down at some point, and a few paintbrushes fell out, but none of them were red.

Gu He pushed Su Yu:

"Get up, did you press my pen?"

"Who pressed your pen?"

Su Yu was sleeping in a daze, he turned over impatiently, and there was really a red oil pastel under his body.

Gu He took the oil pastel stick, knelt down on the ground, and scribbled and drew on the drawing book on his stomach.Su Yu also came over, and the two little boys studied the painting head to head. After a while, Su Yu patted Gu He's arm:

"Here, you drew it wrong, there is a bow on Miao Miao's skirt!"

"No way!"

Gu He painted the last stroke of red, and turned to look at Gu Miao unconvinced, wanting to confirm, but was stunned.

His eyes should have fallen on Gu Miao's red dress, but a large truck on the side of the road caught his attention first.

The big cart wobbled and swayed in the middle of the road like a drunk.Gu He subconsciously felt that something was wrong. Seeing that the cart was getting closer, he shouted at Gu Miao:

"Xiao Miao! Come here!"

Gu Miao was originally looking at a butterfly circling around her, but when she heard this, she smiled and turned to look at Gu He.

That's when the accident happened.

For some reason, the truck suddenly accelerated, followed by the ear-piercing sound of friction between the tires and the asphalt road.

The last thing Gu He saw was Gu Miao's smiling face reflecting the sunlight when he turned his head. After that, a shadow engulfed her, and Gu He couldn't see her anymore, only an overturned car lay there.

"Child! There is a child under the car!! Call the police, call 120!"

There were panicked exclamations from passers-by around, Gu He couldn't hear what they were shouting clearly, he stared blankly at the place where Gu Miao was originally, and seemed to see the bright red color like the corner of her skirt.

"Where's me, my sister?"

Gu He blinked and looked blankly at the kind-hearted people who came to ask about the situation. He couldn't hear what they were saying, so he asked tremblingly:

"Where is my sister?? Why is she missing?"

Looking at the embarrassing look in front of him, Gu He seemed to realize something, and he cried out with a "wow":

"Where is she?? Auntie, tell me where is she??"

The woman with gentle eyebrows covered Gu He's eyes, hugged him into her arms, and said words of comfort.

Under the sun, a child's unfinished painting lay on the lawn, and the red dress on the white paper was dazzlingly bright.A butterfly flew over, circled around Gu He twice, and finally flew far away.

Gu He couldn't remember what happened next, he only remembered that he went to the hospital with the ambulance, and then his mother came too, she lifted the white cloth and took a look and passed out, and then woke up crying, okay I haven't spoken to Gu He for a few days.

During that time, Gu He's life was nothing but the police station and the hospital. When he saw Gu Miao again, Gu Miao hid in the black and white photos and never spoke to him again.

"It's all children who are naughty and ran out to play to encounter such a thing, so ah, such a big child should be optimistic."

"Isn't that girl very obedient, she doesn't go out very often, maybe the kid took her out to play this time?"

"Tsk, that's right, what a nice little girl, what a pity."

Gu He listened to the conversations of his relatives. Although he was young, he still understood many things.

It's all his fault, it's all his fault, if it wasn't for him, Xiao Miao wouldn't have died.

Later, Gu He began to learn to be good, and Gu Lan took him to move. The two of them still lived as before, as if nothing had happened, but some things changed in places that others could not see.

Gu He often has trouble sleeping and has nightmares.When I am awake, I always feel self-loathing for no reason. I am afraid when I see a big car, and I want to vomit when I smell the soda from the hospital.

Also, he can't draw anymore, as long as he picks up a pen, he will tremble and feel nauseous.

This situation got better later on, from being unable to hold a paintbrush to being unable to draw people and animals.

Gu He knew that something was wrong with him, so he tried to see a psychiatrist, but he couldn't say anything to the doctor's questioning, so he finally had to give up.

And Su Yu.After that, Su Yu was the first person to find out that something was wrong with him. He would comfort Gu He that it was just an accident, but Gu He always refused to listen.When Gu He saw Su Yu, he would also think of what happened that day, so from then on, the two children who had been playing together since they wore open crotch pants gradually became estranged.

Gu He was a little sad.

How could it be an accident? It was obviously all his fault.

Gu He's tears flowed down the corners of his eyes, wet his eyelashes.The warm touch of the tears pulled him out of the dream. When he woke up, he was curled up in the quilt, and the pillow was wet with tears.

It was already dark outside, Gu He only took one look, then curled up under the quilt, and it took a while to react.

Didn't he fall asleep on the swing, when did he move to the bed?

Gu He was stunned for a moment, and then he felt someone touching his head through the quilt, and the voice in his ears was a little muffled, but it was indeed someone he was familiar with:

"woke up?"

Gu He secretly cried just now, but now he poked his head out from under the quilt before the tears were wiped dry.

The person standing by the bed was indeed the person he was thinking about, Gu He sniffed:

"How do you know this?"

Xie Beiyuan turned on the lamp on the bedside table, sat on the edge of the bed, and raised his hand to wipe Gu He's tears:

"I asked Aunt Gu."

Gu He pondered dully:

"Then how did you get in?"

Xie Beiyuan looked helpless:

"You forgot to close the door."

Gu He nodded, no longer entangled in this matter.

He just woke up, cried again, and spoke with a nasal voice, sounding aggrieved.Then he sat up and raised his hand to touch Xie Beiyuan's forehead:

"Your cold better now?"

Xie Beiyuan slightly bent the corners of his lips, he pulled Gu He's hand down, and placed it on his lips for a comforting kiss;

"All right."

Gu He nodded, he didn't say a word about what happened to him, nor did he mention the emotions that were haunting his heart, he leaned over and buried himself in Xie Beiyuan's arms as usual.

When Xie Beiyuan was sick before, because he was afraid of infecting Gu He, he would keep a distance from him.At this time, Gu He felt the strength of Xie Beiyuan's hug back and the faint scent of grass and trees on his body, and felt at ease.

Fragments of the dream still appeared in front of his eyes, and he was still afraid, but the feeling of loneliness and powerlessness disappeared silently, as if melted by Xie Beiyuan's temperature.

Xie Beiyuan patted Gu He's back lightly like coaxing a child. Gu He lowered his eyes and called out after a while:

"Xie Beiyuan."

"exist."

"I miss you so much."
