Chen Yunyi hung up the phone and sat down quietly. She didn't turn her head to look at Abao until she thought she had settled down.The latter waited cautiously, like a well-behaved child waiting for an important word to be finished, but not asking questions in a hurry.

"Grandma passed away."

Chen Yunyi confided fragments one by one, Ah Bao thought, this is probably the appearance of Xiao Yun's faltering, compared to a month ago when she talked about her parents from a third-person perspective, the news seemed to come too unprepared, and Chen Yunyi didn't have time to arm herself yourself, become nothing to do with yourself.

"Father and Mom, we decided to go back to the south temporarily to deal with the funeral."

Chen Yunyi took the iPhone and tapped it on the palm of her hand. After a long time, it looked like pressing, and finally turned into rubbing, but Ah Bao looked very dazzling. No matter how you look at it, the gesture is like swiping something on the wrist...

"My brother is left at home, I have to go home." Chen Yunyi said, got up without expression, lowered her head to tidy things up, but Ah Bao could also see that the girl's lazy movements contained too much reluctance.

"Where's Aunt Ling?"

"I also have a family to take care of, so I don't spend much time with you at night, and I usually go home on weekends." Chen Yunyi dropped her phone into her bag, grabbed the books beside her and started tidying up, "I know what you're thinking, but it's temporarily No one can be found, let alone my father and mother, who only trust Aunt Ling."

A Bao nodded, and timidly approached Chen Yunyi, not knowing how to start the question.

"Xiao Yun...?"

Chen Yunyi sighed, as if she was holding tight to the rope, she turned around and hugged Abao tightly.

"I don't want to go..."

The feather-like words blew past A Bao's ears.

"You know I don't want to go..."

A Bao raised her head to meet Chen Yunyi's calm eyes, she was too used to hiding herself, at this moment, there might be too many unspeakable emotions between her slightly frowning brows.

"What if... what if you don't go back?"

Po's question doesn't carry selfish expectations, it's just a question.She knew how cold Chen Yunyi's eyes were looking at that family, but deep in those eyes she was looking forward to some warmth, but as far as Ah Bao knew, hopes were always in vain, and in the end the harvest was full - it was all hurt.

Ah Bao didn't want Chen Yunyi to go at all, no matter how much she wanted to keep her by her side and how much she was used to hugging her to sleep, Ah Bao was reluctant to let Chen Yunyi go home to bear... No matter what she endured, Ah Bao would feel distressed anyway.

"Oh, don't worry, I'll be back." Chen Yunyi said softly, but tightened her arms and hugged A Bao even tighter, as if the promise was made to herself.

"Xiaoyun... is there any problem?"

A Bao asked cryptically.

"Chen Qien."

A Bao will never forget that Chen Yunyi's younger brother was the person she cared about the most, but when Chen Yunyi was always thinking about her younger brother and worried that he would be hurt by the indifference of his parents, she found that Chen Qien actually lived very freely. In the same way, he has also grown into a person who can hurt others.

"Xiao Yun..." Ah Bao tried to speak, she loves to talk, but she knows she is not a person who can speak well, "Xiao Yun, you have to remember, no matter what happens, you must remember... I will work hard I will work hard to help you! I will be Xiaoyun's support, no matter what happens, I will support you...Xiaoyun..."

When the whole world turns its back on you and leaves you, I will still be the one who reaches out to you.

Chen Yunyi nodded, there was no way to say more, she was too moved to speak.The spiritual pillar comes from a little bit of spiritual encouragement... Perhaps this is the first time in her life that she has received cheers from others, knowing that someone is willing to support her silently behind her back, so this is the feeling.

In fact, your words made the matter of going home as light as a feather in my heart... Thank you, Po.

Thank you.

In fact, there is no need to sneak back to her own home, but Chen Yunyi is very afraid that after leaving like this, there will be no reason to come back.

Fortunately, Bao's mother is an early sleeper, and since Chen Yunyi entered Abao's room, Bao's mother rarely went to Abao's room after nine o'clock, most likely because she wanted the two girls to have their own space.

This became the best cover for Chen Yunyi's absence overnight.

Chen Yunyi left with only her schoolbag and uniform, and she told A Bao that she would be invisible at night.If Mother Bao asked about it early in the morning, she would say that she went to school early to do classroom decoration or any reason, anyway, she left early.

A Bao nodded, and closed the door gently, very lightly, Xiao Yun said, without anyone noticing.

Back in the room, facing the empty room, Ah Bao wanted to cry.

The smell inside the BMW is a little bit cold.It's not the smell of leather. Chen Yunyi's mother is most afraid of the smell of leather, so there is always a faint artificial fragrance in the car, blowing out with the air conditioner.

Chen Yunyi hadn't smelled this smell for a long time, her heart trembled slightly, she really missed taking the bus, that warm and human breath...

She got out of the car almost emotionlessly, opened the door, opened the door, took the elevator, opened the door again, and entered the dark room. The house was huge, and the emptiness was even more desolate.Dad is not here, mother is not here, Aunt Ling is not here, only the light in Chen Qien's room is still on.

Once upon a time, Chen Yunyi was afraid of the spaciousness and darkness of this place. Didn't Chen Qien feel it?

Chen Yunyi came home, but felt at a loss.

The door of my younger brother's room opened, Chen Qi'en poked his head out, and his gaze was projected towards the door. After a few seconds, the door closed.

After several weeks, the sister and brother met for the first time, in the silent and vague stare at each other, and ended.

Chen Yunyi has always been a late sleeper. It's not that she is attached to the end of the day and wants to catch the tail of the night, but that she can't sleep, just can't sleep.

The family doctor prescribed some sleeping pills for her, but they were all put away, although Chen Yunyi never committed suicide with a blade.But people are always ignorant, perhaps in their eyes, sleeping pills are as sharp as a blade.Chen Yunyi always smiled lightly, laughing at their ignorance, she would neither end her own life with sleeping pills, nor use that pill to bring sleep.

Chen Yunyi is not as weak as she looks, she is strong, although some methods are wrong, she will always use her own methods to bring breakthroughs for herself.

She stood on tiptoe and stepped on the smooth marble floor of the living room. The books were stacked on the spotless coffee table. The difficult words seemed a bit too harsh for the sleepless night.

Without Abao's warm embrace, it's hard to fall asleep.

Chen Yunyi walked gracefully and quietly, her pale figure seemed to be dancing a slow dance, Chen Yunyi looked at her own reflection on the floor-to-ceiling windows, behind her were the lights of other buildings, flickering through her body in the middle of the night, she was like a ghost.

I really miss A Bao's breathing, it is Chen Yunyi's exclusive lullaby, and it is the only one that can wake up a peaceful sleep.

"Sister."

Chen Qien stopped in the dark living room. He was in the fourth grade of elementary school. Most boys of this age were as tall as girls, and looked like children.The light from his room poured into the dark living room, and Chen Qi'en's helpless figure, like a trapped animal, would be snatched back into the room by the light at any time.

"What's wrong?"

Chen Yunyi asked almost indifferently.

"Sister…"

Chen Qien raised the light bulb in his hand, the night light.

"The bulb is blown out."

Um?so what?

Chen Yunyi never knew where these household items were placed in this house, so she couldn't call Aunt Ling late at night...

"Sister...I...I'm afraid of the dark..."

Chen Qien is afraid of the dark?Chen Yunyi was stunned for a moment, why did she never know why her brother was afraid of the dark?Aunt Ling never stayed overnight, how many nights did Chen Qien need to rely on the night light to dispel the darkness in this vast room?

"Sister…"

Chen Qi'en's arrogance did not allow him to ask this question, but in the depth of the night, instinctively fearing and submitting to the emptiness of the room, the sister and brother both took off their masks of indifference.

"Sister, can you accompany me?"

"okay."

Chen Qien's room, like this boy, has signs of premature maturity.

"Sister, where have you been?"

Looking at her younger brother's immature face, she seemed to have unknowingly, like her parents, had too strict requirements on her younger brother.

"friend's house."

Po.

"Sister...will you come back?"

Chen Yunyi was startled suddenly, what does this question mean?Chen Yunyi frowned, looking at her younger brother's face, the facial features resembled her own, and there was exactly the same loneliness inside.

Chen Yunyi is a hedgehog, as fragile and soft inside as it is sharp and strong outside.

Chen Qien, too.

"Sister…"

"Yes, I will be back."

If you need, I will come back, for you.

"Sister, can you stop committing suicide?"

Chen Yunyi turned her head almost in surprise, staring at her brother who was six years younger than her.

"I understand too, sister, sometimes I want to die too." These terrifying words didn't fit well with Chen Qien's delicate face. Chen Yunyi wasn't too shocked, but she was surprised by her brother's confession.

"But...but suicide hurts..." The boy's sincere eyes raised up, flickering in the darkness, and only then did Chen Yunyi see that there was a faint scar on her younger brother's wrist, just like one of the dozens of scars on her own wrist...

"Chen Qien!"

Everyone said that children have a strong ability to imitate, and what they said was true.

"Sister...sister, I didn't want...don't tell mom...I just...I..."

Just to try it out?

"Sister, I'm just...I'm just..."

He just wanted to be closer to his sister, Chen Qien confessed.

He has always felt that his sister is very mature, and a mature sister is no different from an adult. Adults are all bad, indifferent, and hurtful.

Like his parents.

"Mom, Chen Qien's class teacher called again. I think you and Dad should really talk to Chen Qien. His teacher said..."

"His teacher is prejudiced against my son. Just go to school and study. It's his own business to make friends. He adjusts by himself, and we can't help him make friends. It's funny."

But Chen Qi'en had a vague impression that her sister would speak for her.

"But...Mom..."

Chen Yunyi was about to defend herself with the microphone, when the sound of the door closing immediately sounded, and her mother left.

"Hello? Teacher Zhang, I'm really sorry. My father and mother have something to do at the moment. I'm afraid I can't answer the phone. But it doesn't matter. If you have any questions, the teacher will let me know first. I heard before that they will help the teacher pay more attention... yes... yes, I don't think this is entirely Chen Qien's problem..."

Chen Yunyi seemed to sympathize with the teacher and fully agreed with the teacher, but she often defended Chen Qien and helped him solve problems. Chen Qien was playing video games in the room, but was always eavesdropping.

what?Why don't you let Aunt Ling answer the phone?If you want to perfunctory the teacher, you should find an adult to talk to you, right?Chen Qien always muttered like this.

It wasn't until one day that Chen Qi'en suddenly realized that what her sister wanted was understanding. If her parents couldn't listen, Chen Yunyi would be willing to play that role, completely understanding that Chen Qi'en had long since lost her innocent childhood.

He found out too late.

"Sister... don't commit suicide, okay?" There was pleading in Chen Qi'en's eyes, and Chen Yunyi suddenly understood that Chen Qi'en might think that he was one of the reasons that contributed to her death.

Maybe a little bit, but not all.In short, it doesn't matter anymore, when Chen Yunyi met Abao, Chen Yunyi had already found a reason to live.

"No, brother, don't think too much."

"it is good."

Having been together for ten years, the pair of sisters and brothers have never been so close as they are now.

"Brother! Use less electricity!"

"it is good."

"Be nice to Aunt Ling, can you?"

"okay."

"sleep early."

"it is good."

Chen Yunyi opened her eyes in the dark, but still couldn't sleep.It turned out that her younger brother was just like her, just like her once, so lonely.

She suddenly missed Abao so much, she really wanted to tell Abao quickly that everything was fine, it turned out that her younger brother was just like her, and told Abao not to worry...

"Sister."

"Um?"

"Good night."

"Oh, good night."
