C44 Are They Leaving(2)
"Brother, what were you talking about with Grandpa just now? Why don't I understand you?"
Looking at his sister's confused gaze, Xu Dong squeezed out a smile from his face.
"I... I was just talking to your grandfather about a very important matter."
"Something very important? Why can't I understand?"
The confusion on the little girl's face became even stronger. She tilted her head and asked Xu Dong.
Xu Dong lifted his sister off the ground and the little girl let her brother carry her without any resistance. She even had a look of enjoyment on her face.
Xu Dong rubbed his sister's head and said softly.
"Sister, if I leave one day, will you be sad?"
When the little girl heard that her brother was leaving, she immediately became anxious. Her eyes were immediately filled with tears, and she grabbed the clothes on Xu Dong's arm and asked excitedly,
"Why are you leaving? Did Huan'er make big brother unhappy? If that's the case, big brother can tell Huan'er about it. Huan'er will definitely change it."
Hearing his sister's words, Xu Dong could no longer keep up the smile that he had painstakingly forced out on his face. He only put his hand down from his sister's head.
"No, little sister, you've always been very good. You didn't do anything bad."
The little girl calmed down after hearing her brother's words. She wiped the tears in her eyes and asked.
"Then what is the reason? Is it because of the conversation between you and grandfather just now? Why did you leave?"
"Yeah, it has something to do with the conversation with grandpa just now."
Xu Dong's voice became heavy.
"Why? Is it grandfather who wants to chase you away? No, I have to go and tell grandfather not to chase you away."
Xu Dong's heavy heart relaxed a little under the influence of his own sister. He explained to the little girl.
"Sister, it's not grandpa who wants me to leave. It's grandpa who is asking me if I want to leave."
"He's asking me if you want to leave? Brother, are you leaving by yourself? Why should I leave? Elder brother didn't you say that Huan Er didn't make you angry? If that's the case, why do you want to leave?"
After a few questions, Xu Dong's eyes began to moisten as he put his sister down, who was still in his arms.
"I don't want to leave either if I can! But I have to go. I knew I had to leave a few days ago. I still have my own pursuits, and I haven't forgotten my'original heart'.
In a place that I haven't forgotten, there's a group of people that I've forgotten waiting for me to return. What about those people that are very important to me? Even though I have already forgotten about them, I still know that they are very important to me."
"Dong, could it be that Huan'er is not important to you? Huan'er doesn't want you to leave, but Huan'er wants you to stay."
Tears fell from the little girl's eyes like pearls.
Xu Dong looked at his sister's pearl-like tears and felt very helpless in his heart, but he had to go back. He knew he had to go back. But he wanted to play with his sister for one more day before he went back, because this might be his last luxury.
"Be good, sister. Don't cry. You are also important to me. Besides, I am not leaving right now, so don't cry. I will take you to play for one more day tomorrow. Okay? "
Hearing Xu Dong's words, the little girl gradually stopped crying. She opened her slightly red eyes and spoke to him.
"Alright, Dong, you can't go back on your promise to play with me for a day tomorrow."
"Uh, yes."
After that, Xu Dong chatted with his little sister for a long time. They talked until it was very late before Xu Dong coaxed his sister to sleep.
Morning:
Xu Dong did not wake up very early as usual. This time, when he woke up, it was already very late. It was his sister who woke him up.
Last night, Xu Dong had a dream. He dreamt that he had been treated as trash for more than ten years. He dreamt that his biological father had died for him. However, before Xu Dong could even finish this dream, he was woken up by his sister.
"Dong, get up. You woke up very early in the morning. You promised me that you would accompany me for an entire day. Why are you still awake at such a late hour today?"
Xu Dong, who was woken up by his sister, no longer cared about the dream he had last night, because he had a general idea of what was going on. When he vaguely knew some of it, Xu Dong knew that he had to leave.
However, the most important thing right now was to spend a good day with his sister.
"Alright, alright, alright. Sister, wait for me for a moment. I'll be up soon."
Xu Dong replied as he put on his clothes.
Not long after, Xu Dong finished putting on his clothes. Before he even had breakfast, his sister held his hand and asked him to play with her.
Xu Dong did not care about this because he knew that even if he did not eat breakfast, it would not be a problem.
As she walked along the busy street, the little girl shouted excitedly.
The pedestrians on the street were all looking at them with kind eyes. Some of the old men even shook their heads with a smile as if they were reminiscing about their youth.
Seeing this, Xu Dong also sighed with emotion in his heart.
"This place is really beautiful. It is so beautiful that it's a bit unreal. But this is also not bad."
After that, Xu Dong accompanied his sister on her shopping spree. It was late in the afternoon, when the sun was setting. Xu Dong was on his way home with his sister.
The little girl held Xu Dong's hand with one hand and was eating cotton candy with a smile on her face.
Not long after, the little girl stopped eating cotton candy and her expression became sad.
Xu Dong looked at it and thought that the cotton candy did not match his sister's taste, so he asked about it.
"What's wrong? Is the cotton candies not delicious?"
The little girl shook her head in silence after hearing Xu Dong's words.
"Then what is it?"
Seeing that his sister didn't say anything, Xu Dong asked worriedly. He was worried that something had happened to her.
"Dong, are you leaving?"
Hearing his sister's words, Xu Dong's expression instantly froze. After a while, it returned to its original state. He sighed emotionally in his heart.
"Sister, her heart is really sensitive. Since she noticed that I'm leaving... It is my sister's heart that has always been so delicate. It would be weird if she couldn't sense such an obvious thing. "
"Yeah. Brother is leaving. Maybe you won't be able to see brother tomorrow."
