1. Encounter

A loud noise suddenly erupted in the carriage, scaring Lin Xiaoyu’s sleeper away. She looked up, and a little girl about six or seven years old opposite dropped her schoolbag on the ground.

“I don’t want to go to the Children’s Palace, I want to go to the amusement park!” The little girl made a noise.

A woman about 30 years old next to her coaxed her: “Little Yu, my mother promised my father to send Brother Xiaotong to the Children’s Palace, and when I send my brother there, I will take you on a tour. Paradise, okay?”

“I don’t want it! I’m going to the amusement park!”

A teenager picked up his schoolbag silently, little girl He snatched it and threw it on the ground: “You are going to the Children’s Palace, why do you have to let your mother take you there?”

“Xiaoyu!” Her mother said helplessly. “The law and order are very bad recently. Many college students have disappeared for no apparent reason. How can mom and dad feel relieved to let the brother go alone.”

“Wow–” The girl named Xiao Yu suddenly I cried, “Mom doesn’t love me anymore…”

“I just go by myself.” The boy said.

“But…” The woman was a little embarrassed.

“I will tell Dad that you sent me there,” the boy said flatly.

“Then… well,” the woman hesitated. Then he said, “When the event is over, just call me and I will pick you up.”

“No, I can take the subway back by myself.”

The subway arrived, and the boy walked out of the station without looking back. Lin Xiaoyu also stood up and slowly moved out with the flow of people.

There are not many people in the juvenile official, and Lin Xiaoyu felt dull after a short visit. Suddenly, someone behind him said: “It’s boring, isn’t it?”

Lin Xiaoyu turned around and looked at the boy who had just met on the subway. For himself, Lin Xiaoyu frowned and said, “It’s okay.”

The boy shrugged and said, “Your vigilance is too high. I just think you might be in the same situation as me. , Why don’t you find a place to sit together?”

The tone of the teenager is like the feeling of an old friend who hasn’t seen him in many years preparing to find a place to gather, Lin Xiaoyu unexpectedly has no disgust. It was probably his sentence “I just think that maybe you are in the same situation as me” that made Lin Xiaoyu want to know him.

The two sat down in a cafe near the Children’s Palace.

“By the way, I have forgotten to introduce myself. My name is Duan Tong.”Said.

“Lin Xiaoyu.” Lin Xiaoyu said lightly.

“It looks like you came to this exhibition to pass the time too?” Duan Tong asked.

“Are you here because you don’t want to accompany your family?” Lin Xiaoyu did not answer him, but asked rhetorically.

Seeing Duan Tong’s puzzled expression, Lin Xiaoyu added: “I was also on the subway just now.”

Duan Tongyi The deputy suddenly realized the expression: “How do you see that I don’t want to be with my family?”

Lin Xiaoyu said: “Obviously, it’s okay, your sister has been crying and didn’t want to come to the Children’s Palace, and you The conversation with your mother may be understood to mean that you are in a rebellious period. Besides, doesn’t this exhibition that you are not interested in also explain the problem?”

< br/> Duan Zhu laughed and said: “First of all, it is not my mother; second, my words are only in the direction that the woman expects, not rebellion but obedience; finally, the ticket to the exhibition is My dad gave it to me, so it’s not that I don’t want to be with my family, but they don’t want to accompany me.”

Lin Xiaoyu was a little surprised by this answer: “Is that woman your relative?” A sneer flashed across Duan Tong’s face: “As far as your personal feelings are concerned, are you willing to put your stepmother in your relatives?”

Lin Xiaoyu understood Duan Tong’s meaning , Said quizzically: “From a legal perspective, they are indeed relatives. If we can get along well, it is not impossible to generate emotions between relatives.”

“How can the world arise out of thin air” Love and care? Such a horizontally inserted relationship, regardless of whether the horizontally inserted process has caused harm, let alone she has her own children.” Duan Tong said.

It is indeed unrealistic to produce love and care out of thin air, thought Lin Xiaoyu.

“What about you, why did you come to visit the exhibition?” Duan Tong interrupted Lin Xiaoyu’s meditation.

“It’s boring, every family has hard-to-read sutras. I don’t want to stay at home all day long and look at the two faces of my parents that may be angry at any time.”

“It’s that simple?” Duan Tong looked at Lin Xiaoyu with a smile.

Lin Xiaoyu had the illusion of being seen through by Duan Tong for a moment. She said a little annoyed: “Do you think everyone is as messy as your family relationship?”

After Lin Xiaoyu’s words were spoken, she suddenly realized that she was a little rude, and she hurriedly apologized: “I’m sorry, I was temporarily lost, please don’t take it to heart.”

Duan Tongdao Did not show irritation: “It’s okay, you are telling the truth, and as far as I am concerned, everything is really messy.”
