Love on the left bank, you on the right bank

"Xiao Zuo, do you want to have dinner with us after get off work today? There is a new restaurant opening nearby!" I was halfway through packing when Peixuan suddenly popped up from the crowd and asked, "Are you okay?"

"Uh.....I'm going to X City, you guys go try it out for me first!" I had already picked up my bag, but Pei Xuan stopped me again with a look of gossip. "Xiao Zuo, you've been to City X very often recently!"

"Uh, um, what's the matter!" I panicked and looked away, trying to ignore her wicked smile, "Hey! No more!"

"This makes people suspicious!" Pei Xuan squinted her eyes and pushed me into a corner, "Tell me, tell me, this super excellent editor, are you in love?"

in love?I was stunned for a few seconds before pushing her away, "No, how is it possible? I just met a reader who got along with me recently, so..."

"A compatible reader?" Peixuan withdrew her body, "Are you referring to the woman who bumped into you that day with a ponytail tied?"

"Well, yes, she is an elementary school teacher, and she thinks... she is an interesting person."

"Is that so...then it's possible for you...?" Seeing Peixuan's expectant gaze, I just smiled and shook my head, "I understand what you mean, but it's impossible, we just will be friends."

The expectant eyes faded away, as if comforting me and comforting myself: "Ah... that's fine, it's good to make new friends."

Yes, that's fine too.

Since the last time I had dinner with Li Xingyou, I discovered that we accidentally got together, and recently I have nothing to do, so I will go to her when I have time, so often that even the guards recognize me.

I just simply like the feeling of chatting with her, like Peixuan said "further possibility", I will just laugh it off.

I like Li Xingyou, but only for friends.

"Hello, here I come──"

I carried a bag of candies and swaggered into the classroom.After a month of getting along, the little couple who were hostile to me at first also started to play with me and act like a baby.

"I told you, don't keep buying candies for them." Li Xingyou casually tied her ponytail, and gritted her teeth angrily when she saw that I bought candy again. The young couple was very happy.

"Sister Zuo---" I hugged the little girl who was rushing towards me, and kissed her cheek affectionately, "Is Tangtang behaving well today?"

"Yes!" Tangtang smiled brightly. I looked at Xiaoguang who was still sitting coolly on the seat, and said, "Where is Xiaoguang? How are you doing today?"

He took out a math test paper with a perfect score from the drawer. Although his face was expressionless, I knew he wanted me to reward him.

"Xiaoguang is so good at math?" I took out his favorite star candy from the plastic bag, "Here, reward."

"You will spoil the child like this!" Li Xingyou pinched my waist.

"Xiao Guang scored [-] points in the math test, he is very good!" I said.

"His mother is a high school math teacher." Li Xingyou rolled her eyes, as if she couldn't stand my doting on children, "And what about tooth decay?"

"I brush my teeth." Xiaoguang said coolly. To be honest, I think this kid will definitely fascinate a lot of girls when he grows up.

"Can I take two?" Xiaoguang asked, I was stunned for a few seconds, then nodded in agreement.

To my surprise, Xiaoguang is not a greedy child. On the contrary, he is very sensible and smart. This is also the first time he asked me for two candies.

"Why does Xiaoguang want to get two today?" I put Tangtang down and gave her a chocolate ball.Xiaoguang held the candy tightly and bowed his head in silence.

I looked back at Li Xingyou, and she also shook her head to express that she didn't know.

"One for mom." Xiaoguang said urgently and quickly, his cramped appearance really didn't look like this child would.

"To mom?" I frowned.At this time, Li Xingyou's cell phone rang suddenly, and I looked at her for a few seconds, and suddenly I had a very bad feeling...

This anxiety was so familiar that it made me tremble.

Li Xingyou carefully picked up the phone and put it to her ear, "Hello? Ah, it's Xiaoguang's father! What's wrong?"

silence.

Li Xingyou's expression froze suddenly, and after a long time, she heard her respond to the person on the other end: "...What? Okay, no problem! I will send Xiaoguang and Tangtang there!"

After Li Xingyou hung up the phone, I quickly asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Li Xingyou looked at me with a distressed face and floated towards Xiaoguang again, grabbed the key from the drawer and quickly picked up Tangtang, "Great writer, help me hug Xiaoguang."

"Huh? Where are you going?" I said in a daze, but Xiao Guang realized it before I did and tugged on my trousers.I looked down at his calm expression and suddenly felt unreal.

At this moment, Li Xingyou's voice trembled over my head──

──"Xiaoguang's mother is in first aid right now."

I'm stunned!That vague uneasiness, the uneasiness that had been buried in my dust for many years, suddenly, all of a sudden gushed out all at once, making me breathless.

"Great writer? What's wrong with you? Hello!"

I closed my eyes in pain, then opened them, returning to calm.

"It's okay... let's go." I hugged Xiaoguang tightly, maybe this child already knew what was going on.Xiaoguang held the star candy tightly in his hand and smiled at me, "Sister, don't worry, my mother will be fine."

I froze for a moment and couldn't help smiling bitterly.

A child who is so strong that it makes people feel distressed...

I sat in the back seat with the two children, and even Tangtang, who was always lively, kept silent.Looking out of the window, the street lamps kept passing by, like sharp knives, slashing my heart one by one.

The fear welling up in my heart was the night when my mother was critically ill.Thinking of this, I couldn't help hugging Xiaoguang tightly, letting him sit safely on my lap.

I remember, I was also Xiaoguang's age at that time, I was sitting on a sister's lap, she hugged me tightly, although I had already forgotten who that sister was...

Li Xingyou was on the phone while packing up, and I was busy comforting Tangtang who was crying because of anxiety. It was not until Xiaoguang took apart a star candy and stuffed it directly into Tangtang's mouth that Tangtang stopped crying.

...This kid has a future.

"What does Xiaoguang's father say?" Li Xingyou and I each held our first-year-old child, but we were really worried. Fortunately, both of them are very good.

"He said he went to Kaohsiung to attend a teacher's seminar, and now he is trying to get back. The nanny got acute gastroenteritis temporarily...I'm sorry, I took you off the water...Great writer."

"It's okay, I like Xiaoguang and Tangtang very much, so, it's really okay." We walked directly into the elevator, slowly watching the numbers go up. "But... what happened to Hikari's mother?"

"I heard that my health has been very bad for the past few years. I even resigned from my job as a teacher, but I don't know the details of the illness. This is the first time I have encountered such a situation... Xiaoguang's father is here. The voice on the phone was choked up, and he was also very anxious."

"Is that so..." I patted Xiaoguang's head lightly, trying to give him some strength.

At present, Xiaoguang's mother has been transferred to the general ward, Li Xingyou and I were relieved immediately, although the doctor probably thought it was incredible seeing our weird expressions.

Actually, me too.

The four of us stood in front of the ward. I put Xiaoguang on the ground, squatted down and looked at the yawning Xiaoguang, and said, "Xiaoguang, your mother is not feeling well right now. Please keep your voice low when you go in! And remember to give the candy to me." Mother."

Xiaoguang nodded, and when he spread out his palms, the crushed Star Candy seemed to make Xiaoguang stunned. "candy......"

"It's okay, it's okay." I took the candy from him and gave him a blue star candy again, "I'll give this one to my sister, and this new one to my mother, okay?"

"Then, shall I open the door?" I looked up at Li Xingyou and nodded in agreement.

When I approached the ward with Xiaoguang in my arms, I was still thinking about how to introduce myself to Xiaoguang's mother. The moment the curtain was lifted, I froze!

"Mother Xiaoguang, I am Xiaoguang's class teacher..."

The moonlight outside the window penetrated into the window, and the woman's pale and gentle face appeared in a trance, but so, so real...

The moment I saw the woman, I suddenly felt intense sadness, which made my tears flow. I put down Xiaoguang, covered my mouth and couldn't help crying...

"Teacher... why you..."
