He Wei

It's not clear when I finished packing up the house before going to bed last night. The herbs in the medicated bath have the effect of relieving tension and calming the nerves. This provided Xu Lang, who had been in a "combat readiness" last night, with a good resting premise .

After falling asleep again and waking up naturally, Xu Wei opened his sleepy eyes and glanced at his side. Xue Chengyu didn't know when he got up, he had already changed his clothes and sat at the desk, flipping through medical books.

The sunlight outside the window was just right, and the soft sunlight slanted on Xue Chengyu's face, making his facial features as delicate as carvings, and the slender eyelashes were even thicker against the light and shadow.Looking at Xue Chengyu's figure, Xu Lang felt that meeting Xue Chengyu in this life was a blessing from ten lifetimes of cultivation.

Xue Chengyu realized that Xu Lang was looking at him, put down the book and turned his head, looked at Xu Lang tenderly, and asked, "Are you awake?"

Xu Hong slowly got up from the bed, leaned against the bed rail and stretched, hugged the quilt and shook his head.

Yesterday was really too dangerous. Knowing that Xue Chengyu was a drunkard and didn't want to drink, he still wanted to hit the gun. I don't know whether it is love or foolish loyalty.

This life has been promised to Xue Chengyu since Xue Chengyu rescued him. Without Xue Chengyu, he would have frozen to death in the heavy snow.

He never expects such days to last forever, he only wants to have one day at a time, he is as careful as if he is living a stolen life, for fear that such days will be fleeting, even if he lives humble, timid, cowardly .

As long as Xue Chengyu is willing to stay with him, he is satisfied, and he has never hoped that Xue Chengyu will reciprocate his amazing love.

Seeing that Xu Hong was silent, Xue Chengyu pushed the wheelchair to the front of the bed, took Xu Hong's hand, took out a cherry blossom from behind and put it in his palm, and said, "When you were not awake, I was reading a book in front of the desk, and the breeze blew for a while. A cherry blossom is falling on the window sill, and the cherry tree outside should be in bloom, let's go out and see the cherry blossoms later."

As soon as Xu Lang heard the cherry blossoms blooming outside, Xu Lang was so happy, he had long wanted to see the beauty of this double cherry blossom when it was in full bloom.

Xu Lang picked up the group of double cherry blossoms and observed carefully. There was only one small cherry blossom, but it was very cute, pink and tender, delicate and charming. Presumably the cherry blossom tree should be more prosperous and full of vitality when it blooms.

"I'll get up now!"

Xu Lang threw off the quilt and flew out of bed, quickly changed his clothes and washed, then pushed Xue Chengyu to the yard, and was surprised by a tree blooming as soon as he raised his eyes.

The cherry trees planted in Xue Chengyu's courtyard are eight-fold cherry blossoms. When it snowed in winter, the branches were covered with snow and there was no special place, but now they are in full bloom.

Four or five side branches are branched out from the main trunk, extending vigorously to all sides, and several small branches grow from each side branch, which are full of eight-fold cherry blossoms.

Due to the large number of flowers, the branches are drooping, and the breeze blows through the branches and trembles up and down, making a "sizzling" sound, which is very beautiful.

With just one glance at Xu Lang, he fell into the pink ocean. He never thought that the double cherry blossoms would be so beautiful, nor did he think that he could enjoy them with Xue Chengyu, which is really beautiful.

At the same time, Xue Chengyi seemed to have calculated the time, and ran to Xue Chengyu's courtyard with the purpose of "appreciating the cherry blossoms together". In fact, his real purpose was to fold flower branches and give them to his sister Luo.

Xue Chengyu has a deep affection for the cherry tree. He was unwilling to let his prodigal brother break off the flower branches, but he couldn't stand his soft-heartedness, so he agreed to break off a small part considering his brother's future happiness.

Xue Chengyi took the flower branch and left the yard contentedly. Before leaving, he didn't forget to make a face at Xue Chengyu, as if to show off that he had a girl who fell in love with him.

Xue Chengyu has long been used to Xue Chengyi being so angry at him, turning a blind eye to his younger brother's naughty behavior, just looking at the cut-off place and sighing silently.

He felt very sorry for the broken flower branch. After all, this cherry tree was left to the brothers by his mother, and it was his favorite among the few things left to the family.

His mother had passed away for almost ten years, and he had been raising this tree alone for ten years. Xue Chengyu had devoted too much effort to grow from a small tree bud to the tall tree several feet tall today.

Xu Lang also asked Xue Chengyu about the origin of the cherry tree, but Xue Chengyu didn't want to mention it.

At that time, Xue Chengyu, who was six years old, and Xue Chengyi, who was three years old, were still very naughty. The two children were always messing around in the house. People plant trees and want to use this method to cultivate their sense of responsibility.

At that time, Xue Chengyu was already sensible, and kept in mind how to cultivate cherry trees, and because they were planted in his own yard, he unconsciously took the responsibility of taking care of the cherry trees to make them thrive.

I thought that as long as the cherry trees were carefully taken care of, they would be able to grow well. Unexpectedly, in the next summer, there was a flood, and the frequent rainfall in the south of the Yangtze River almost drowned the cherry trees.

Regardless of people's stop, Xue Chengyu braved the heavy rain and ran to the yard to drain the cherry trees. The cold rain poured on his body, which made Xue Chengyu feel extremely biting. He saw his mother lying on the edge of the bed waiting for him to wake up.

Xue Chengyu realized that he had done something wrong. He wanted to apologize to his mother but he didn't want to disturb her rest, so he had to wait for her to wake up.

But his mother never woke up again.

Afterwards, Xue Chengyu asked Mr. Xue the reason. Mr. Xue only said that he went because he was in a hurry and became sick from overwork, which caused old illnesses. It had nothing to do with Xue Chengyu.

But Xue Chengyu didn't believe it. He knew that even if his mother was not in good health, she wouldn't be so weak. He felt that if he hadn't fainted, his mother wouldn't be in a hurry because of worrying about him. He was an important factor that killed his mother. The responsibility for causing his mother's death was on his own shoulders, and he has become a different person since then.

The cherry tree entrusts his longing for his mother, and also entrusts his mother's wish that the two brothers can grow up healthily. He must take good care of the cherry tree to be able to treat his mother well.

Seeing that Xue Chengyu looked at the tree in a daze, Xu Lang seemed to have something on his mind, so he patted him on the shoulder lightly, and asked, "Young Master, do you remember some old things?"

Xue Chengyu took his eyes away from the cherry tree, let out a long sigh, frowned slightly, and replied: "It's all about seeing things and thinking about others, do you still like this cherry blossom?"

"I like it! I see the young master taking good care of it on weekdays, but I never thought it would be so beautiful once it blooms." Xu Hong paused for a while, as if thinking of something, "In my hometown, there is a custom to tie wind chimes on the branches. Make a wish with the red string again, and the wish will come true. Although I heard this when I was very young, my parents thought it was too noisy to hang the bell, so I picked it up once I hung it. ..."

There was disappointment in Xu Lang's eyes when he said these words. Xu Lang's life was miserable. Not only was he incompetent, but he also couldn't get the love of his parents. approved.

Xue Chengyu heard something in Xu Lang's words, tapped his fingers rhythmically on the armrest, and said after a long while: "There is a brocade box in the cabinet of my desk, and there is a wind chime that Cheng Yi gave me before, Xiao Lang went to look for it. "

Xu Lang thought that Xue Chengyu liked to be quiet, and if the wind chimes were hung up, there would be a sound if the wind blows, so he confirmed, "Young master, don't you think that hanging the wind chimes will disturb your rest?"

Xue Chengyu raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, comfortingly said: "Although I like to be quiet, it's not that I can't hear any sound. Besides, the sound of the wind chime is very clear and ethereal. I like it very much. It's just that there is no place to hang it in the house. Today it happened to be hung on a tree. superior."

"I'll go get it now!" After saying that, Xu Hong happily ran into the house to search for it. After a while, he took out the brocade box, placed it on the stone table, and opened it carefully.

Inside the box is a bronze bell. The bell is divided into two parts. On the top is a flying crane. Every feather on the crane is made lifelike like a real crane.

And the crane's slender legs are connected to a seven-story pagoda below, and the long red tassels are holding the hammer inside, and it will make a crisp sound when touched lightly.

Xu Lang picked up the bell and shook it, the voice was indeed clear and ethereal as Xue Chengyu said.

Xu Lang pushed Xue Chengyu to the bottom of the tree, gestured with a bell on the lowest branch, and asked, "Does the young master think this position is okay?"

Xue Chengyu looked at it and felt that it was still a little low, so he commanded: "Let's make it higher, it looks better this way."

Xu Lang put down the bell and brought a round stool, stepped on the stool again and tied the bell to the branch with a red ribbon.

The blue-black bells fell among the many flowers without being obtrusive, and the red ribbons and tassels fluttered in the wind, making the bells ring from time to time.

Xu Lang was very contented touching the trunk that was as thick as a person's arms, and he used to be alone in a daze at the big locust tree in front of the hospital, but now he can hang the wind chimes with his beloved, which makes him feel like a lifetime away.

Xu Lang closed his eyes, put his palms together in front of his chest, and bowed his head devoutly to make a wish.

Seeing this, Xue Chengyu followed him and bowed his head to make a wish, and when the wish was finished, they both raised their heads and smiled at each other.

"What wish did Xiaohong make? I wonder if it can be the same as mine?"

Xu Lang casually rubbed his sleeves against the stool he had just stepped on, sat on it, and replied, "Don't you know that the wish you made won't work if you say it?"

Xue Chengyu lowered his head and smiled, took Xu Hong's hand, held it in his hand and kneaded it, "Okay, okay, I won't ask, wait until Xiaohong is willing to tell me—"

Xu Lang slowly rested her head on Xue Chengyu, "Actually... the wish I made is very common... I just hope that the young master can get better, and that I can stay with the young master for a long time... I will stay together for a lifetime, and I will not be responsible for it." ..."

Xue Chengyu picked up the cherry blossoms that fell on Xu Hong's head, stroked Xu Hong's head and did not speak.

The two cuddled together and watched the cherry blossoms all over the tree, listening to the crisp wind chimes, as if time had stopped.

In fact, the wish he made is not much different from Xu Hong's. His greatest wish is to be by his side for a long time, to protect him well in this life.

I only hope that I will stay together for the rest of my life without any negative consequences.
