A few days after National Day, Mr. Cheng and his family went back to the village to stay with their parents for a few days. They helped chop firewood and plant crops. The happy holiday life passed very quickly. No matter how reluctant she was, she had to face parting.
Her parents were leaving on the 5th of the next day. Cheng Cheng put down her textbooks and stopped studying tonight. She lay in bed and hugged her mother as she prayed to the heavens. Tonight, the chubby boy would sleep on the sofa with his father.
"Mom and Dad are leaving tomorrow. You have to be good.”Mrs. Cheng instructed.
"Mom, I know. I'll be fine. I just need to study hard every day.”Cheng Cheng replied.
"Dad and Mom aren't worried about our studies at all. We're only worried that we won't be able to walk out of that dream. Don't be trapped by that dream. No matter how real it is, it's still a dream. Don't let the sadness and resentment inside bind you. You should grow up happily.”Mrs. Cheng advised.
"Your mother is right. At your age, you should study happily and grow up healthily. Besides, her mother's body was fine now. Those things wouldn't happen.”Mr. Cheng was also trying to console her.
"I know Dad and Mom. I won't be trapped by dreams.”Hearing her parents say this, Cheng Cheng had no choice but to agree first so that they wouldn't worry.
But how could she forget everything that had happened in her previous life? However, she understood that she was still too young. She could only grow up quickly and become outstanding in order to protect them.
The family of three chatted until they fell asleep. When they woke up, it was already past seven in the morning. Mrs. Cheng and Second Aunt Cheng were already packing their luggage.
Cheng Cheng carried the chubby boy and her mother and walked behind them. However, the distance was very short and they soon reached the bus stop.
She kissed the chubby boy's toot face and said," Qiang Qiang, be good. Grow up well. I'll come and see you during the holidays!"”It was unknown if the chubby boy understood or was familiar with this parting scene, but he suddenly burst into tears. His two small hands wrapped around his sister's neck, unwilling to leave.
A few minutes later, the car arrived. Mrs. Cheng got into the car first. Cheng Cheng handed the crying chubby boy to her mother and told her that her parents should take good care of their health. Nothing was more important than their health.
"We will. You have to be fine at home alone.”Mrs. Cheng took her son over and reminded her daughter. Looking at the direction the car left in, she felt an indescribable sense of loss and sadness. She comforted herself that this separation was for a better reunion in the future.
"Let's go, Cheng Cheng. We'll see each other in a few months.”Cheng Lin couldn't help but comfort his sister when he saw her disappointed look.
"Big Brother, there's only the two of us at home tonight!”Cheng Cheng said.
"Yeah, it's just the two of us tonight. Junjun and I are leaving tomorrow afternoon. Can you stay at home alone?”Cheng Lin was also a little worried. After all, Xiwei wasn't back yet.
"Ah! It's only the 6th tomorrow, and you and Junjun are leaving!”Cheng Cheng asked in surprise.
"I have to go to the technical school a day early, especially for someone like me who transferred in. There are still many things to do!”Cheng Lin explained.
"Alright, then I'll be the only one at home tomorrow night.”Cheng Cheng especially disliked being alone. She would feel lonely.
Seeing his sister's listless look, Cheng Lin felt helpless and heartbroken. But there was no other way. Sometimes, he had to get used to being alone.
After sending her parents off, Cheng Cheng locked herself in her room and sat in front of her desk in a daze. She stared at the pile of books she had just bought, unable to read a single word.
Seeing his sister like this, Cheng Lin went back to his room worriedly and picked up his phone to make a call…
"No, I can't do this. People have to learn to grow up and learn to be alone. Besides, I've lived for so many years. How can I not understand this principle?”Cheng Cheng muttered to herself.
She picked up the Chinese test paper and started to do it seriously. Cheng Cheng had done most of her homework for this holiday. There were only two Chinese, one politics, and one history papers left.
Cheng Cheng, who had completely immersed herself in her studies, was still very serious. She had already forgotten about her previous sentimentality. Cheng Lin came to visit Cheng Cheng twice midway and didn't disturb her when he saw that his sister was studying seriously.
At six o'clock in the evening, when the sky was almost dark, Cheng Lin knocked on his sister's door." Chengcheng, it's already six o'clock. What do you want to eat tonight?"”
"Ah? It's already six o'clock in the evening?" It turned out that Cheng Cheng had already locked herself in her room for a few hours.
"Why don't we eat instant noodles tonight? I haven't eaten in a long time.”Cheng Cheng didn't have anything she particularly wanted to eat. She just wanted instant noodles to be more convenient.
"Sure, I'll go to the street corner store to buy instant noodles. Wait for me at home.”Cheng Lin said.
"No, I want to go with you. I don't want to be alone at home.”Cheng Cheng quickly refused. She did not want to be alone at home.
In order to make his sister happy, Cheng Lin also brought her some snacks. When they got home, Cheng Lin was in charge of cooking instant noodles and even made them poached eggs. The siblings had a simple dinner and neither of them spoke.
After dinner, Cheng Cheng went to wash up and wash her clothes. She went up to the third floor to look for her eldest brother and saw that he was packing his luggage for tomorrow.
"Big Brother, are you going to bring a lot of things over tomorrow?”Cheng Cheng asked as she looked at the things in the suitcase.
"You don't have to bring a lot. Just bring some clothes and toiletries. The bedding over there is provided by the school.”Cheng Lin explained.
"That's good. You don't have to bring a lot of luggage.”Cheng Cheng sat down on the sofa. She still felt uncomfortable as she watched her brother pack his luggage.
"Cheng Cheng, big brother will leave tomorrow and won't be able to see you all the time. You have to take good care of yourself. I know that the students in the class won't bully you, but it might not be the same for the others. If you have something to tell Xiwei, only he will protect you unconditionally.”Cheng Lin's usual cheeky smile was gone as he spoke with a serious expression.
"I know, bro. I'll be fine in school. I don't have any activities other than studying. Xiwei will be with me when I go to and from school.”Cheng Cheng said.
"On the other hand, your brother can only come back once a month after going so far away. Study hard in school and take good care of yourself. Fortunately, Junjun had a companion.”
"Don't worry. Don't you trust your big brother? I'm the only one who bullies others, but no one bullies me.”
"Alright, go and rest. It's quite late. Don't stay up late to study.”Cheng Lin said.
"You're my big brother too. Don't be too late. I'll send you to the station tomorrow.”Cheng Cheng returned to her room.
When she returned to her room, Cheng Cheng said that she wasn't sleepy at all. She lay on the bed and wondered if her parents had already arrived. She didn't want to disturb them at this late hour. However, she missed Jiang Xiwei even more. Every time she was alone, she missed him the most…
Unable to fall asleep, Cheng Cheng decided to get up and study, preparing to finish the remaining political history papers. By the time she finished the two papers, it was already 1:30 in the morning. She was really tired and fell asleep after lying on the bed for a while…
