It was another bright and beautiful morning. Qinghan woke up to the fragrance of rice. He hadn't smelled that familiar smell for a long time. Qinghan hurriedly put on his clothes, washed up, and rushed to the kitchen.
"Mom, you don't have to wake up so early to cook for me. Just sleep a little more. I can do it myself.”Although Qinghan said that, he was still touched when he saw the fragrant fried eggs and white milk on the table.
"I can't sleep either. I'll get up and help you make breakfast. You can sleep more in the future.”Qinghan's mother was wearing an apron. She smiled sweetly at Qinghan. It was like the winter sun, so warm that it melted one's heart.
"Mom, I'm going to school." Xiao Luo carried his bag and went to school happily. The birds on the roadside also sang happily." Haha, good morning, birds.”Qinghan greeted the birds that flew by and ignored the rolling eyes of the passersby. No matter how good or bad your mood is, you don't have to care about what other people think of you, because we all live for ourselves, and we should all make ourselves happy.
"Xiao Luo, why are you so happy so early in the morning?”Yueyue made an exaggerated expression.
"I'm in such a good mood every day. It's just that you don't realize it.”Qinghan answered calmly, but he was secretly happy.
"Hey! Morning, Qinghan." The students who passed by greeted Qinghan happily.
"Good morning, you guys." Qinghan greeted him politely.
"Xiao Luo, look at how biased they are. They don't even greet me, who's beside you. It's really infuriating.”Yueyue pounded her chest and stamped her feet. This clown was so happy every day. As long as she was around, there was no need to be afraid of a lack of laughter.
" They must be annoyed by you, that's why they didn't greet you. If it were me, I would have gone over and argued with them. They don't have a good temper like you, hehe." Xiao Luo deliberately made Yueyue angry.
"How can you be like this? You're always making sarcastic remarks. You should comfort me and say,'Yueyue, they're like this because they like you too much.'”Yueyue pretended to be serious.
The day's classes passed amidst Yueyue and Xiao Luo's noisy banter. The bell rang for the end of school. Everyone hurriedly carried their bags and wanted to be the first to rush out of the classroom.
"Xiao Luo, there's something I don't know if I should say.”Meiqi, who was sitting behind Qinghan, looked at him timidly.
"Just say it. It's fine." Qinghan looked at her encouragingly. She always helped Qinghan with his studies, and she was very warm and kind. You could tell from her eyes because all she saw was cleanliness.
"I think you're different from usual today. You're very cheerful today and you're smiling happily. I hope you can be like this in the future. Only then will you be like me.”Meiqi lowered her head shyly. She felt that this was Qinghan's private matter and shouldn't be said, but she was happy to see Qinghan so happy today.
"Meiqi, thank you. I will always be very happy.”Qinghan said emotionally.
" Hey, don't be so mushy. I'm getting goosebumps." Yueyue shook her body.
Qinghan and Meiqi stared at Yueyue at the same time. This girl only knew how to ruin the atmosphere. Qinghan walked out of the classroom with Yueyue with a heart full of warmth. "Ah, Senior Dafei, are you here to pick us up?”Yueyue was so excited that she danced around when she saw Dafei at the entrance of her class.
"I happened to pass by your class and saw you guys inside, so I decided to wait for you guys to leave together.”Dafei smiled at Qinghan.
"Thank you, senior." Qinghan's heart was once again filled with happiness. Sometimes, a person's happiness could be as simple as a sentence from another person.
The three of them chatted and laughed as they walked to the school gate. Qinghan smiled and answered Dafei's question, but he was secretly happy in his heart. It felt good to be remembered.
"Hello, are you Xiao Luo?”A foreign man stood in front of Qinghan. He had fair skin, a tall nose, and brown curly hair, making him look very handsome.
"Yes, may I know who you are?"
"Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Ken.”He scratched his head in embarrassment.
"It's okay. What's the matter?”Qinghan looked at Ken in confusion. Although it was the first time they met, Qinghan felt that Ken was very friendly. Suddenly, Qinghan felt relieved to leave his mother in his hands.
"Ah, right. Can I talk to you alone?" Ken looked at Yueyue and Dafei awkwardly.
"Alright." Xiao Luo turned to Yueyue and Dafei and said," This is my mother's friend. You guys can go back first. I'll have to trouble you with Senior Yueyue."”Qinghan then got into Ken's car and left with him.
"Hello, Mom. I'll be home later. I have some unfinished business at school. Don't worry.”Xiao Luo was afraid that his mother would be worried, so he called her first.
"Xiao Luo, you're such a good child. No wonder your mother always praises you.”Ken praised Qinghan sincerely, but Qinghan just smiled.
Then, they came to a cafe called An An.
"My mother likes this shop very much, right?”Qinghan looked around at the classical decor and guessed that this was the shop his mother liked.
"Hehe, Qinghan, you're so smart. We often come here to chat, listen to music, read books, and so on. This is a really good place.”When Qinghan saw Ken's intoxicated look and sweet eyes, he gradually trusted and affirmed himself. His mother and Ken would be happy.
"Why are you looking for me today?”Although Qinghan didn't want to disturb Ken's narcissism, they didn't have much time, so they had to hurry.
"Oh, cough cough." Ken coughed awkwardly." Actually, I came here to thank you. Thank you for letting your mother come back with me. A while ago, your mother was in a lot of pain. She was conflicted and didn't know if she should tell you. I also reflected on whether my thoughts were too selfish. Really, Xiao Luo, we want to stay with you, but my job doesn't allow it. I hope you can understand. Qinghan, I'm sorry." Ken looked at Qinghan apologetically, his eyes filled with guilt.
"No need to apologize, I understand. My only hope is that you can bring happiness to my mother and don't let her get hurt again. My father left us in such a cruel way in the past. Please don't do that, or else I'll hate you for the rest of my life.”Qinghan couldn't help but feel sad when he thought of the past. He might never forget that determined back. There was nothing more painful for a child than being abandoned.
"Xiao Luo, don't worry. I've chosen to take her away, so I'll definitely take good care of her. Every time I asked her to talk about your past, she refused. At most, she would say,"Our Xiao Luo has grown taller and more sensible." "You have to bear the pain in your heart, but everything has come to an end. We have to welcome the future, so although I can't participate in your past, I will accompany you in the future.”Ken looked at Qinghan sincerely. Qinghan nodded slightly to show his trust. Sometimes, a look could tell the difference.
Qinghan and Ken continued to chat for a long time. They talked about their ideals, their preferences, and the differences between China and the West. Qinghan kept smiling. Ken's personality was the type that his mother liked. He was humorous and responsible. She would feel safe around him. All of a sudden, Qinghan felt at ease. Even though he wasn't particularly familiar with Ken, sometimes the feelings between people were so subtle that time couldn't measure them.
"Xiao Luo, can you tell me about your past?”Ken looked at Qinghan with some embarrassment. After all, this was their private matter and the topic that Qinghan's mother avoided the most.
Qinghan was a little surprised that Ken was interested in their past. The happy and painful memories still had the power to hurt people. Qinghan nodded after thinking about it. "In the past, we lived together in a small town called Happiness Village. Dad was doing business outside and would occasionally come back to visit us. Mom took care of me at home. Although they were very far away, their relationship had always been very good. Until one day, a woman called her mother and asked her mother to divorce her father. Therefore, when her father came back, her mother would ask him what was going on. Every time she asked, they would quarrel and quarrel.”Qinghan was still a little scared when he said this. Those painful days and nights, those days when he couldn't do anything, were still as terrifying as nightmares. "Later, Dad asked Mom for a divorce, and Mom agreed. Dad left us a sum of money and left, while Mom became depressed day by day. In the end, Mom was tired of Happiness Village and said that she wanted to leave there and start over, so we came here.”Qinghan told him the whole thing and felt much more relaxed. Perhaps it was because he had buried the burden too deeply that he had never mentioned it before. In fact, he felt relieved when he said it.
"Are you feeling better?" Ken looked at Qinghan seriously, as if he wanted to see through her.
"Uh, did you do it on purpose?" Qinghan asked in surprise.
"Hehe, that's right. I always feel that you're unhappy because you've been carrying the past. Every time your mother talks to me about you, she always feels guilty. She let you carry so much on your back. Now that she wants you to say the shadow in your heart, you won't be afraid anymore.”Ken looked at Qinghan kindly. He could feel that the knot in his heart that had been frozen for a long time was slowly opening and finally disappearing.
"I see. Thank you. But I'm also very worried. You're so scheming. What will happen to Mom in the future?”Qinghan had never felt so relaxed before. He could finally let go of the past. Qinghan was sincerely grateful to Ken.
"You really are a child. I treated you well for nothing. The decision has been made.”Ken was afraid that Qinghan would regret it.
" Haha..." As they looked at each other, they finally burst into laughter.
Behind you, I opened the door to your heart that has been silent for a long time. My guilt and gratitude towards you can only turn into silent concern and wish you happiness.
