he is afraid, he pretends

During the fourth year in the orphanage, the arrival of a car changed the lives of Wu Luming and Wu Lupalm.

It was a summer when Wu Luming didn't have to struggle with intermittent fevers. After eating in the canteen in the morning, the dean suddenly came to the canteen himself, and took away the two siblings with a happy face.

The two were taken to the usual welcoming room, where many people stood.

A young woman with a haggard face. Behind the young woman is a middle-aged couple with dignified faces. Beside the middle-aged couple is a young couple. The woman's hand is on a tall and strong boy.

The moment the siblings entered the door, everyone in the room turned their attention.

Immediately afterwards, the eyes of the leading young woman began to turn red at a speed visible to the naked eye. By the time the two siblings entered the room, the woman had already shed tears.

But she quickly raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, and stepped forward to put an arm around one, and hugged the two siblings into her arms.

The dull, suppressed cries of the woman rang intermittently beside her ears.

When Wu Luming was still in a situation where he couldn't fully deal with the situation, Wu Lupal, who still had residual memories of the past, suddenly called out very lightly and tentatively: "Mom?"

The simple two words became the thrust to turn the sluice switch, and the woman hugged the siblings tightly for a moment, and cried out in grief like a flood.

This summer, Wu Luming and Wu Lupal left the cool summer orphanage and came to the south where the air was humid and hot.

Wu Luming didn't feel the humidity and heat for too long in the south, so he was admitted to a ward with a suitable temperature.

This year's winter is still intermittently high fever, but it is not as difficult as in previous years.

There is never a shortage of people in his ward.

When he came to the orphanage that day, he and Wu Lupalm's mother, grandparents and uncle's family would always stay in the ward alternately.

Whenever Wu Luming loses consciousness due to fever, he will be hugged into a warm embrace, and next to his ears is a young or old voice that is equally gentle: "My baby, it doesn't hurt, it will be fine soon, I will reward you with candy tomorrow." .”

So during the day when the fever subsides, he can get a piece of fruit candy, and see Wulu Palm sitting in front of his hospital bed with the same fruit candy in his mouth, smiling and telling him the interesting things he encountered in school.

Sometimes Wu Luming would still be in a trance in the dormitory that was not warm in the winter when he was burnt out at night.

Breakfast is the same eggs and bread, lunch and dinner will only have meat in one meal, the socks hanging on the balcony will be secretly worn by the child who carelessly broke his own socks, and I want to buy a piece of cake she likes for Wu Lupalm , you have to pay for two cakes to the uncle who came to the orphanage to deliver food.

Wu Luming is staying in the hospital in the spring of next year.

After recovering, he was taken into a large and quiet villa by Wu Yunwen. Fortunately, Wu Yunwen arranged his and Wu Lupalm's bedrooms together.

A large room in Chaoyang, half of the room is a blue wall, and the other half is a pink wall.

The two beds are next to each other, plush toys are piled up beside the pink bed, and a robot spaceship is placed beside the blue bed.

On the first day of Wu Luming's school, when Wu Yunwen sent him to the school gate, he hugged him and whispered in his ear: "Good boy, now that you have your mother by your side, your mother will not let you and your sister be hurt again." Any grievances, if someone bullies you at school, you can tell your mother, and mother will solve all the troubles for you, understand?"

The strange words made Wu Luming unable to respond for a long time, but after meeting the woman's gentle and caring eyes, he finally nodded.

Wu Yunwen smiled lightly, rubbed his hair, and went to hug Wu Lupalm beside him.

Wu Lupalm has gained a lot of weight in the past six months, and her complexion has also become more rosy. She lay in Wu Yunwen's arms, nodded obediently, and then patted her chest like a little adult and said: "Mom, don't worry, I will take care of you. My brother is taking very, very good care of me!"

But in fact, she can't take care of it.

There is a year difference between the two, and during the six months when Wu Luming was hospitalized, Wu Lupalm had already started school normally.

So the two are one level behind.

Wu Lu Palm is in the second grade, while Wu Luming can only enter the first grade.

Wu Luming was not old enough to study when he was in the orphanage, so when he stepped into the classroom for the first time, he was a little nervous.

When he stood on the podium, he was in a trance for a moment when he met dozens of pairs of innocent and curious eyes.

The dozens of white and tender children with bright eyes under the podium were nothing like any he had seen in the orphanage.

He briefly introduced himself, and after sitting in the arranged seat under the enthusiastic guidance of the teacher, several heads crowded around him.

Childish voices buzzed non-stop in my ears.

"Your face is so pale. My mother said that your face is so pale because you are sick. Are you sick?"

"Can you write your name? I just learned to write my name yesterday. I'll show you!"

"How old are you? Where did you transfer from?"

Wu Luming slowly put down the schoolbag on his back, as if he was suddenly dragged from the cold iceberg to the scorching sun. After slowly stuffing the schoolbag into the schoolbag, he began to answer the questions of the people around him one by one.

The adaptation to the new school melted into the slightly restless wind of early summer.

Before the humidity and heat in the south came completely, Wu Luming finally stopped having the daily dream of being in an orphanage.

The early summer afternoon already has the momentum of midsummer.

But the energetic child is still very enthusiastic in the physical education class where he can run as fast as he can.

"Come play football with us." The tablemate said to Wu Luming while putting on his sneakers clumsily, "Playing football is really interesting! Once you play it once, you will definitely want to play it again!"

Wu Luming raised his head from the book.

This is not the first time that the same table has invited him to play football.

The weather has gotten warmer recently, and his complexion has improved a lot. From the eyes of the children around him, it means that he is "cured from illness".

Therefore, the deskmate who had not invited him because of his illness began to invite him to participate in sports in physical education class many times.

Wu Luming raised his head and looked at the blue sky outside the window.

He had refused many times before, but he didn't refuse this time.

The tablemate looked very happy, holding the basketball in one hand, and putting his hand on his shoulders, saying that he would introduce him to his best friends who played together.

The elementary school Wu Luming attended was a private aristocratic elementary school.

The school occupies a large area, and the venues for student sports alone occupy several places indoors and outdoors.

There is a large dedicated football field on the left side of the stadium building.

Wu Luming knew that with his current physical fitness, he would definitely not be able to participate in playing football, so when he came to the football field, he said to his tablemate: "I haven't played before, let's watch you play for a while."

The tablemate immediately patted his chest, wanting to perform well in front of Wu Luming.

The football field is surrounded by a circle of green grass.

The two o'clock sun was slanting slightly, casting a shade onto the lawn just in time.

Wu Luming walked to the shadow and sat down.

The sky is blue today, the wind carries a not-too-disturbing heat, and the leaves rustle overhead.

Wu Luming looked at a group of children who said they were playing football but were actually running and fighting around the ball, and he was in a good mood.

He squinted his eyes for a while smelling the smell of green grass, and suddenly heard an exclamation accompanied by the sound of glass shattering behind him.

He opened his eyes amidst the noise, and saw the children who were still on the court running towards the hut behind him.

That's the external equipment room of the gymnasium.

Wu Luming looked at his deskmate who was running most anxiously in the crowd, thought for a moment, and followed him to the equipment room.

The glass in the equipment room shattered, and the huge movement had obviously attracted the attention of the physical education teachers in the gymnasium.

When Wu Luming walked into the equipment room, he saw him at the same table holding a football, muttering palely: "What should I do? What should I do? I broke Teacher Lin's computer last month and was severely taught by my mother." , if the teacher tells my mother that I kicked and broke the glass in the school, she will definitely beat me to death!"

He said that his eyes were red from anxiety, and he looked at his good friends next to him for help.

"I... my mother will scold me too."

"My dad promised to buy me a new Superman figure this week, but I can't."

"I got 55 points in the math test last week before my dad beat me up."

A few children pushed and shoved you and said to each other, expressing that they couldn't help.

The deskmate stomped his feet anxiously, and suddenly he saw Wu Luming in the room, his eyes lit up, he ran up to Wu Luming, and said enthusiastically: "Xiao Ming, your mother will definitely not scold you!"

As he spoke, he stuffed the football into Wu Luming's hands.

There was still broken glass on the ball, but the anxious kid apparently didn't notice.

Wu Luming felt a pain in his palm, and slightly frowned slightly.

The child still said to himself: "I know, you are often sick, so your mother is reluctant to scold you and beat you. When the teacher comes later, you can say that you kicked the glass, okay? I... I will give it to you tomorrow." Bring chocolate, or what toy do you like, I want it from my mother, and I will give it to you when my mother buys it!"

Wu Luming didn't answer the conversation, the tablemate thought he didn't agree, so he held back the conversation with a blushing face, and said: "I see you, you usually don't have many friends, don't you want to have so many good friends like me? Okay Friends should always help each other like this, don’t you think so?”

He anxiously asked his friends for confirmation.

His friends are also very cooperative.

"Yeah, we... We often help each other like this."

"Anyway, you won't be scolded or beaten, so you can help Chai Chai."

"Chai Chai often mentions you to us, you are at the same table, you won't do such a small favor, will you?"

Wu Luming hugged the basketball, lowered his head and did not speak.

The well-built physical education teacher entered the equipment room at this time.

Before the others could fully walk in, a majestic voice came in first: "Who smashed the glass?!"

The tablemate trembled in anxiety, the moment the physical education teacher walked in, he pointed at Wu Luming: "Yes...it's Wu Luming."

As he spoke, he looked at Wu Luming twice, seeing that Wu Luming still lowered his head and did not refute, a little joy welled up in his eyes, and continued: "Teacher, he didn't do it on purpose, don't be angry."

The physical education teacher glanced at Wu Luming, who was thin and white without any sweat on his body, then at Chai Chai, who was sweating profusely and with wheat-colored skin, and then at the other children whose faces turned pale with fright, and he knew it.

Just as he was about to speak, a childish yet exceptionally quiet voice sounded: "There are three surveillance cameras on the football field, and the surveillance camera facing the equipment room can take pictures of the whole process. Whoever smashed it, just adjust the surveillance camera and you will know. "

When Chai Chai heard this, he jumped up anxiously: "Wu Luming! Why are you like this!"

Wu Luming finally looked up at his deskmate: "If you damage school property, you will be fined more than 500 yuan depending on the severity. In extremely serious cases, you will be considered for expulsion from school."

The deskmate listened to his words, his eyes dodged, and his voice became softer: "You... what are you talking about? Why can't I understand the meaning."

He was confused, but he could still understand 500 yuan and quitting school.

Wu Luming bent down, slowly put the football in his hand on the ground, then straightened up and said: "It's written in the school rules, it doesn't matter, you will know soon."

After he finished speaking, he turned and walked out, ignoring the surprised gazes of the others.

Just as he was about to walk out of the equipment room, the annoyed voice of his deskmate came from behind: "People like you will never have friends!!!"

"You...you are so disrespectful and selfish! No one will ever be your friend!"

Wu Luming paused.

After a while, he stepped forward again and left without looking back.

Several cuts were punctured on the palm of the hand, and blood was oozing.

Wu Luming returned to the teaching building, went into the bathroom of the teaching building, and turned on the tap to wash the wound on his palm.

The sudden stabbing pain caught him off guard and shed a tear.

Tears mixed into the water instantly disappeared without a trace.

Wu Luming turned off the faucet, slowly raised his head, and looked at the mirror in front of him.

The boy in the mirror had sickly white skin and light lips, with only a little red around his eyes.

In the depths of the pupils in the red eye sockets, there was a slight confusion hidden.

·

"How are you doing today?" A woman's gentle voice sounded from the dining table.

As usual, Wu Lupal began to talk about the delicious food and fun things he had eaten today.

After she finished speaking, she took the initiative to pass the baton to Wu Luming: "Brother, did you encounter any interesting things today?"

Wu Luming drank the mushroom soup in the bowl, and said after a moment of silence: "I watched my classmates play football in physical education class."

After a pause, he added: "It's very interesting."

The woman patted Wu Luming's head with a smile, and said, "We can also play football by ourselves in the future when Xiao Ming gains weight by 20 catties."

Wu Luming just gave a soft "hmm", but Wu Lupal said with great anticipation: "Really? Brother, then you should eat more, and you will gain 20 catties immediately tomorrow!"

As he spoke, he put the meat in his own bowl into Wu Luming's bowl.

Wu Yunwen smiled happily, and the table was very lively for a while.

Wu Luming glanced at Wu Lupalm, who was carefully pinching the meat for him, and then at Wu Yunwen, who was smiling happily. He opened his mouth, but finally closed it again.

After taking a bath at night, the siblings lay on the bed, and Wu Yunwen told them stories with a storybook.

Tonight is about the story of the dragon knight. Wu Lupal hugged her beloved doll and heard "wow" again and again.

At nine o'clock at night, Wu Yunwen kissed the foreheads of the two and left on time.

Wu Lupalm and Wu Luming reviewed tonight's story, and gradually fell asleep.

Wu Luming lay on the bed with his eyes closed, but he never felt sleepy.

The wound on the palm of the hand is very small, and it is hard to find if it scabs after it does not bleed.

But the pain didn't go away without bleeding.

He slowly opened his eyes in the dark, and pulled his hands out of the quilt.

Looking at the small wound on the palm, what Wu Yunwen said to him on the first day of school sounded in his ears: "Mom will solve all your troubles for you."

Wu Luming blinked and stared at the wound for a long time, finally sat up slowly from the bed, put on his shoes quietly, and walked out of the room.

Wu Yunwen's room was dark.

Just as a hint of disappointment flashed through his heart, he suddenly noticed a light coming from the crack in the door of the study.

Wu Luming stared at the beam of light, and walked towards the study lightly.

The door of the study was not closed tightly, and a gap the size of a fist revealed a little of the scene in the study.

Wu Luming saw a small half of the desk, and a woman who seemed to be asleep on the desk.

He stood at the door and watched for a while, and saw that the woman didn't seem to be waking up.

The air conditioner was turned on in the study, and the air was slightly cool.

As soon as his hand touched the door and was about to push it open, the woman lying on the desk suddenly sat up in shock.

She seemed to have had a dream that frightened her, and her usually gentle face was full of fear and regret at the moment.

Slowly as if waking up from a dream, she suddenly raised both hands to press her face, her shoulders trembled, and she cried bitterly.

Wu Luming saw Wu Yunwen cry like this once.

It was in the orphanage, when they met for the first time, Wu Yunwen hugged him and Wu Lupalm tightly.

Slowly lowering the raised hand, Wu Luming left quietly and returned to his room.

In the room, Wu Lupalm was still sound asleep.

The person who was still lying in the middle of the bed when he fell asleep, curled up into a ball when he was fast asleep, and a small one was crowded at the head of the bed.

It seemed that she was not sleeping on the big bed in the room at the moment, but the small bed in the orphanage that could barely sleep one person.

He stepped forward and gently moved Wu Lu Palm to the middle of the bed, covered her with the quilt, and then returned to his own bed to lie down.

That night Wu Luming had a dream.

He dreamed that he was a piece of driftwood full of water, struggling to float on the water, as if he might sink directly every second.

He struggled to find something that could hold him up, but suddenly found that there were logs all around him that were struggling like him.

He floats on the water, struggles to move forward, struggles to survive.

No one knows if a stone will fall down one day, but with just a light touch, it will make him lose sight of the light.
