my kind of person

This weekend is the monthly vacation of the second grade of high school. Xiao Yuqi asked Xiao Yi early if he wanted to go home with him, but Xiao Yi asked him to go back first, because he still has something to do.

Since the last time I broke up with Xie Zixin in the bookstore, Xiao Yi lost contact with Xie Zixin again, and Xie Zixin didn't reply to those few WeChat messages.

This feeling made Xiao Yi very uncomfortable. If Xie Zixin was his friend, or just a stranger, Xiao Yi would not feel any difficulty getting along with him at all.However, he couldn't define the relationship between Xie Zixin and himself now, as if he was stuck in one position, which made him at a loss as to what to do.

Xiao Yi came to the bus stop alone. When the bus came, he hesitated for a few seconds, but finally walked up and sent a message to Xiao Yuqi, asking him to tell his parents that he would be back later today.

The bus finally drove to the old city, and Xiao Yi got off at Linshui Road Station.

When it really came down, Xiao Yi felt a little impulsive.He just felt that he needed to see Xie Zixin again and apologize to him face to face.But now he just came downstairs to his house in such a sudden fever, without telling him in advance, if Xie Zixin is not at home, then what is the difference between him and a fool?

Just as he was thinking about it, Xiao Yi accidentally glanced out of the corner of his eye, and saw a familiar thin figure walking towards the bus stop, it was Xie Zixin.

Xiao Yi didn't expect to meet him on the street. He couldn't think of a word yet, so he walked behind the light box at the bus stop.Xie Zixin was looking down at the phone and missed Xiao Yi's figure. Finally, he stopped in front of the light box and sat on the bench under the light box.

There was only a light box between them, and Xiao Yi did not come out from behind the light box for a long time.

About 5 minutes later, another bus stopped in front of the stop sign, and a middle-aged woman with a big bag got off the bus. Xie Zixin immediately stood up to meet her, and called her auntie.

Hearing Xie Zixin's voice, Xiao Yi slowly took a step towards the other side of the light board, and saw the back of Xie Zixin and the middle-aged woman leaving together.

They were obviously close relatives, and the middle-aged woman would pat Xie Zixin on the shoulder and touch his head from time to time.

Xie Zixin and Chen Jing returned home, and Chen Jing brought him two boxes of pure milk, several boxes of eggs, a chicken, a fish and various ingredients.

Xie Zixin: "Auntie, you don't need to bring so many things for me, it's very convenient for me to buy food here."

"Auntie, don't you know you yet? You save so much, how can you be willing to buy it." Chen Jing took out the ingredients that will be used in a while, put the eggs and fruits neatly in the refrigerator, and replied with a smile, "You are still growing How about eating more?"

Chen Jing then started to cook dinner, and Xie Zixin was also helping. He has been cooking by himself for a long time, and his cooking skills are good. No matter what kind of dish it is, he can quickly learn it.

For dinner, I cooked half a chicken, a fish, a vegetable and a pot of fish soup. Xie Zixin hadn't eaten so much for a long time. He ate two more bowls of rice than usual. Seeing that Xie Zixin ate so much, Chen Jing was also very happy.

After dinner, Chen Jing sat with Xie Zixin for a while and then planned to go home. Her youngest son is still young, and she might make noise if she doesn't go back for a long time.Chen Jing bid farewell to Xie Zixin with a little apology, saying that she would come to accompany him more when she was free some other day.

Xie Zixin nodded and sent Chen Jing downstairs.

Chen Jing came to the bus stop and waited for the bus. She looked back at the dark and unlit buildings behind her compared to other places in the city. I don't know how long the fried meat was sealed, so I couldn't help but raise my hand and quietly wipe away my tears.

At this time, a figure came to her: "Auntie?"

Chen Jing looked up, and saw a boy in school uniform standing in front of her. The boy was tall and handsome, with a blue schoolbag on one shoulder, and his expression was a bit nervous.

"Hello, Auntie, I am a sophomore in Ancai Experimental Middle School. My name is Xiao Yi. This is my student ID card." Xiao Yi handed over his student ID card with a sincere voice, "Auntie, I I know Xie Zixin, I am his friend, I saw him come to pick you up earlier, are you Xie Zixin's relative?"

Xiao Yi opened his WeChat again, indicating that Xie Zixin was indeed in his contact list.

Chen Jing saw clearly that the student ID card in Xiao Yi's hand was indeed in the well-known private key middle school in this city, and it was also the school Xie Zixin planned to take.She looked at Xiao Yi in surprise, stood up involuntarily, and said pleasantly: "Ah! You are Xiaoxin's friend? Hello, I am Xiaoxin's aunt. Don't you know when you come to Xiaoxin? We should eat together A meal."

Xiao Yi shook his head, frowned slightly, and said: "Auntie, it's like this. I actually only met Xie Zixin this semester. The little girl he saved in the car accident last time was my cousin, so it's my cousin." My aunt's family is helping him transfer schools. He is studying for the exam recently, and he lives alone again. I...I am a little worried about him, so I want to come and have a look."

After listening to Xiao Yi's words, Chen Jing roughly understood the ins and outs of the matter. That child Xiao Xin always liked to keep everything to himself, and would not easily tell others.

Chen Jing nodded, her expression darkened: "That's right, that child... his mother left early, and basically no one cares about him after junior high school, and his father is another..."

Speaking of this, Chen Jing seemed to be unable to continue, but Xiao Yi clearly saw that there was a flash of hatred in her eyes.

Chen Jing: "Young man, you have a heart. I live far away from here, and I don't have time to visit Xiaoxin often. He also has few friends. It's rare to make friends like you. You usually talk to him more often. , if it’s convenient, come to his house to play more, have a look at him, don’t let him be too lonely, okay?”

Xiao Yi nodded and asked for Chen Jing's contact information.

When the bus arrived, Chen Jing smiled and said goodbye to Xiao Yi, and got on the bus, she finally looked at him with longing and hope in her eyes.It was as if in her eyes, that independent child without parental care could one day become like the boy in front of her who went to a good school and had a good teacher.

After the bus left, Xiao Yi didn't leave, but sat down on the bench under the stop sign.

He sat alone for a long while, but the uneasiness caused by Chen Jing's words just became more and more intense in his heart, and he thought of the scar on Xie Zixin's elbow that hurt his eyes, and the look in his eyes that he dodged and didn't want to mention.

Finally, Xiao Yi sent a message to Chen Jing who had just left.

Xiao Yi: Aunt Chen, sorry to bother you, just reply me if you are free.A few days ago, I accidentally saw a scald scar on Xie Zixin's arm. It seemed to be burned by a cigarette butt. Do you know what happened?

It didn't take long for Chen Jing to reply him, and Xiao Yi held his breath with a voice that was neither long nor short.

Chen Jing: "That's what Xiaoxin's father did. His father... hey, alcoholism and domestic violence is not a thing! He often beats Xiaoxin and his mother. After Xiaoxin's mother left, his father only beat him. Then For a while, Xiao Xin was injured all over her body."

Xiao Yi's heart shook suddenly, and his heart was clenched tightly.

Xiao Yi: What about Xie Zixin's mother?Why didn't you ask for custody?

Chen Jing: "His mother passed away, and she left in the second year of junior high school. Although she was not with Xiaoxin before, she would give him money every month. Later, his father took half of the money and it was in vain. It's not that my sister left Xiaoxin an inheritance, Xiaoxin has no money to live alone."

Chen Jing: "Xiaoxin is a good boy, but it's a pity that he met such a father. Without his mother, he was often bullied by those bad kids at school, and was always beaten by his father when he returned home. How did he survive the years when his mother left? I don’t even dare to think about coming here.”

Chen Jing: "I don't know why later, his father also ran away and left him alone, without leaving him a penny. At that time, Xiao Xin was only in the second year of junior high school, and has been living alone since then."

Xiao Yi listened to the few passages that were not long, and each word was burned in his eyes, like fine sand and stones, scratching the deepest and softest light in his eyes.

The evening wind at the end of May already had the warmth of early summer, but when it blew on Xiao Yi, it seemed to come from the dark and harsh winter.

Until Xiao Yi came back to his senses, his fingers holding the phone were so tight that it hurt.

The language is pale, but Xiao Yi knows how much suffering and pain are hidden between the lines, and what Xie Zixin has really experienced is probably much more than what is described in these weak words.

If all these things are placed on himself, he has no courage or determination to think that he will be able to pass.

It is these sufferings that make Xie Zixin slowly turn himself into a cocoon, an airtight cocoon that no one can pry into and cannot break. He can protect himself in this cocoon and stay away from those things that make him painful.

Suffering does not necessarily only happen to those who deserve what they deserve. Xie Zixin is just an ordinary person, an ordinary person who should live like him and only be troubled by his studies, but why should he go through such pain?Want to be trampled and belittled?

Xiao Yi's mind suddenly became confused, he began to want to know everything about Xie Zixin, his past, his suffering, and the pain he endured.

Xiao Yi sat on the spot for a long while, finally, he stood up, walked quickly across the street, and entered a supermarket.In fact, he didn't know what he should buy, but he just felt that he couldn't go empty-handed.

Xiao Yi bought a bunch of commonly used stationery and notebooks, and two boxes of high-calcium milk, and then went to the fruit and vegetable section to buy a bag of commonly eaten fruits.After shopping, he carried the things to the residential building where Xie Zixin lived, walked up to the third floor, and knocked on the door of Xie Zixin's house.

When the knock on the door sounded, Xie Zixin had just finished taking a shower and was about to sit down at the desk and read a book.He frowned suspiciously and looked at the time, it was almost nine o'clock now.

Xie Zixin didn't know anyone. He didn't expect anyone to come to him at this point. Could it be that his aunt left something at his house?

Xie Zixin turned on the light in the living room, opened the door, and was stunned when he saw Xiao Yi standing outside the door.

Xie Zixin asked in a daze, "...Xiao Yi?"

Xiao Yi walked directly into the room in silence, and put down the things in his hand one by one. Xie Zixin looked at his actions blankly, not knowing what Xiao Yi was doing. Do you want to put these things in his house temporarily?

"Why are you here?" Xie Zixin asked, "It's so late."

Xiao Yi turned his head to look at him. Xie Zixin was so sad that his eye circles turned red when he talked too much in the bookstore that day, but now he looks like a person who has nothing to do, as if he easily let the matter go.

Xiao Yi subconsciously felt that Xie Zixin would definitely not want him to know about his past, and he didn't want to expose his scars again, he just wanted him to come out slowly from now on.

"I was having dinner with my friends nearby, and it was a little late. I remembered that you didn't reply to me last time, so I came to check." Xiao Yi replied, "I'm sorry about the last time, I was too impulsive, these I bought it for you, just treat it as my apology."
