The Wind Blows Fallen Leaves Chapter 46
bynew year 1
Crystal clear pear blossoms bloomed on the originally bare tree branches on campus, adding a little fresh life to the otherwise boring season, and hopefully embellishment for their journey.
“The first test, Chinese, please put the irrelevant things on the podium.”
After everything was packed up, specialized personnel escorted the test papers to the examination room and picked up the test papers to show to the students.
“The test paper is sealed.”
The more important the occasion was, the more flustered Shen Luo became. He forced himself to calm down. After getting the paper, he glanced at it briefly and then worked on the questions.
When all that was left was the composition, the title stunned him for a moment and he was unable to start writing.
In the last twenty minutes, his hands were shaking uncontrollably, but time was running out and he couldn’t continue thinking.
Regret, he has many regrets, and he still can’t let go of them until now. He understands that the intention of the composition should be positive, but he is even more unwilling to change the facts.
When he was brought to the city by Shen Meng for the first time, he was filled with joy. Even though he was sitting in an uncomfortable car, he was so happy that he couldn’t sleep. He even started imagining the happy life of their family in his mind.
When he first returned home, Su Shangjun was very enthusiastic to him, and Shen Meng also cared about him and took him to familiarize himself with everything at home, including Su Ji. However, Su Ji was very repulsive to him. When there were only two of them at home, Su Ji would just stay in the room and not even eat.
After his first monthly exam when he transferred to another school, the so-called home seemed to have changed, and the relationship between them seemed to be very tight. Shen Luo thought of cooking a meal to ease the atmosphere. It was his first time in the kitchen, and he messed up a lot of things in a hurry. Su Ji heard the sound of pots and pans in the room and felt something was wrong. Normally, cooking was not so loud, and the time was not right.
As soon as he left the door of the room, he smelled a very hot smell. When he rushed to the kitchen, Shen Luo fell to the ground, covered with rice soup. His limbs were soaked in the soup, and even steamed from them. He realized that he seemed to have been in trouble, but the pain in his limbs prevented him from standing up. After seeing Su Ji, he burst into tears. Su Ji immediately took him to the bathroom and flushed him with cold water. He took the opportunity to call 120 and Shen Meng, but no one answered.
There were still many people in the hospital at night. Su Ji was waiting outside the ward. There was no call from his cell phone. He didn’t wait any longer. The doctor prescribed medicine and reminded him to apply it every day, otherwise scars would remain.
After talking about a lot of taboos, Su Ji wrote them down one by one. After returning home, Shen Meng had come back, and the originally messy kitchen had been cleaned. The room was very quiet, without the usual noise of the TV. Shen Meng sat on the sofa and waited for them to come back.
“Where have you been so late?”
Shen Meng spoke unkindly and looked at him with terrifying eyes. Shen Luo only dared to hide behind Su Ji.
“Xiao Luo wanted to cook you a meal, but he accidentally got burned. We went to the hospital.”
At this time, Su Shangjun pushed the door open, looked at the two people blocking the door, and said, “Why are you standing here? Do you want to go out?”
Shen Meng walked into the kitchen angrily. He had only mopped the floor, and the used pots and dishes had not been washed. The sound of banging and banging stimulated every nerve of Shen Luo.
“Your good son wanted to make a meal, but he almost tore down the kitchen.”
Su Shangjun put down his bag and pushed the two of them away to go to the kitchen and take a look. He didn’t care about Shen Luo from the beginning to the end. “You said you didn’t know how to cook. Why did you go into the kitchen? Isn’t this adding trouble?”
“I just want to…”
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Shen Meng.
“I brought you here to help us lighten our burden, not to be a burden. Before you do something, think about whether you can do it well. Don’t be too ambitious all day long. If something goes wrong, just tell us what to do.”
The whole room could only hear the continuous sound of the kitchen range hood. Shen Luo sat on the sofa in grievance and reflected on himself. Tears soaked into his pants drop by drop. He tried his best to suppress his sobs so that no one would notice that he was strange.Shen Meng called him to eat, but he didn’t hear it for the first time. Shen Meng lost his patience and shouted angrily.
“Shen Luo, who are you showing your face to? Is it wrong to not let you enter the kitchen? If you don’t want to stay here, go back to the countryside as soon as possible.”
Shen Luo threw the bowl in his hand and entered the kitchen. Shen Luo was even more at a loss. Su Ji pulled him to the seat and said, “Eat first.”
“Yes? Isn’t this my home?”
Shen Luo sneered in his heart. After staying in Water Town for more than ten years, he had walked every path there, crossed every river, and knew everyone, but he was unfamiliar with every street, every building, and every person here.
Where is home, where is your parents?Or where you grew up?
What he had been looking forward to since he was a child was the lively gatherings during the New Year days. He followed Shen Meng and called her mother again and again. Shen Meng would also smile when she picked him up.
But why did life change when he came to her side? It was like two people who were not related by blood were forcibly tied together. Her voice on the phone was obviously so warm and loving.
Later, she wanted to send me back more than once, and Shen Luo didn’t want to leave at first. He just wanted to live with his parents, but he didn’t know that swallows want to fly by themselves when they grow up.
The relationship between the two became more and more tense. They were so unfamiliar that they sat at the same table without any conversation. After entering high school, Shen Luo moved out and lived in a place they didn’t know.
