The Protagonist Just Wants To Falling In Love - Chap 327
”We won’t find out.” He Yu said.
”Are you unhappy today?” Liao Yuanyuan asked.
He Yu: “No.”
”You talk very little today.” Liao Yuanyuan said.
He Yu: “You talk too much.”
Liao Yuanyuan said that he was doing homework. It had been a long time since he had brought the homework, but he hadn’t done much writing. He was either itching here or feeling uncomfortable there. He rambled on while talking to He Yu. It felt like He Yu spoke very little today. As he spoke, he started talking about the family who moved in yesterday.
He said he saw the child, being held down and beaten by his mother at the window, and still keeping silent.
”It seems to be upstairs in your house – so pitiful.” Liao Yuanyuan said, “My mother never beat me like that.” He Yu: “…” There seemed to be an explanation for last night’s movements. He Yu stopped writing and
looked
at Look at the ceiling.
Initial impressions, domestic violence and stammering.
Except for the noise last night, He Yu didn’t hear any big noise upstairs in the next few days.
A child’s life is very simple. Apart from studying, he just plays, and there is not much extra pressure to bear.
He Yu did his homework every day, went out to fool around with Liao Yuanyuan, and then ate and slept at night. He did not see the beautiful woman and the fair child upstairs again until four or five days later.
At seven or eight o’clock in the evening, his parents returned home. The gentle woman was busy in the kitchen, and the aroma of the food came out. At half past eight, two bowls of home-cooked food were served on the table, one of Chinese cabbage and one of tofu with some… Minced meat.
”It’s time to eat.” The woman shouted.
He Yu put down the pen he was writing on, and his father turned off the TV. The three of them sat at the small dining table in the living room. There was no rule in his family about eating without speaking. He’s mother and father chatted about some trivial things today.
The faucet at home was broken and was always dripping. He’s mother asked He’s father to fix it. As they talked, they talked about the new residents who had moved upstairs.
”Thanks to her today, otherwise my wallet would have been stolen.” He’s mother said.
He’s father: “It’s time to thank her properly.”
”I’ll go downstairs to buy some food later.” He’s mother said, “She seems to have a child at home, about the same age as our Xiaoyu. She takes care of the child alone. It’s not easy.”
He Yu almost understood the whole story from his parents’ mouth. He’s mother almost had money stolen by a thief today, but the woman upstairs happened to see it and reminded her.
After eating, He Yu returned to his small room, cleaned up the books on the table, and picked up a storybook that Liao Yuanyuan lent to him to pass the time.
Not long after watching, the door was opened by He’s mother from the outside.
”Xiaoyu.” Mother He called softly.
He Yu put down the book and turned his head. He’s mother came in, “I’m reading a book.”
He Yu: “Yeah.”
He’s mother felt that the child had been a bit silent in the past two days, but asked him if there were any conflicts between him and the children. He also refused to say.
”How about we go up there with mom later?” He’s mother asked.
He Yu: “What are you going to do?”
”Send some food to the neighbor’s house.” He’s mother said, “He has a child about your age. Have you seen it?” He Yu nodded
.
”I’ll see him later and say hello to him, okay?” Mother He said, “After delivering the things, Mom will take you to buy delicious food.” He Yu paused and nodded: “Okay.” The corridor was
dark
. Yes, the sensor lights are not very sensitive and flicker, the stair handrails are a bit wobbly, and there are graffiti drawn by a child with crayons on the wall, as if they were filming a horror movie with a sense of the times.
The sound of footsteps overlapped one softly and the other loudly, echoing in the quiet corridor.
He Yu followed He’s mother and finally stopped in front of a door on the fifth floor.
Mother He raised her hand and knocked on the door. After a while, the door opened a crack. At the door, a small figure cautiously poked its head, revealing half of its face, and looked at them through the crack in the door.
”Hello.” As soon as He’s mother saw this delicate and beautiful child, she felt like she was in love with him. She knelt down and greeted him with a smile, “Is your mother at home?” The child behind the door looked at He’s mother, then looked at her again.
He Yu was on the side. He’s mother noticed his gaze, pulled He Yu over, put a hand on He Yu’s shoulder and patted him, “Say hello.” He Yu looked at him: “Hello, I’m He Yu.
Yu, I live downstairs in your house.”
Li Fengran hid behind the door, and after a moment, he said “Hello” in a nonchalant voice.
Sometimes it is much easier for children to get along with each other than between adults and children. He Yu received a signal from He’s mother and asked him if anyone else was at home. Li Fengran nodded.
”I need to wait a moment.” He said, “Mom is answering the phone.”
”Don’t open the door to strangers casually.” He Yu said.
Mother He: “…?”
She had a blank look on her face. When did her son become so vigilant?
Li Fengran whispered “Yes” in a low voice, “Wait a moment…”
He said and was about to close the door, but the door was closed again. He Yu’s small hand resisted.
”My name is He Yu, what’s your name?” He Yu asked, his eyes a little cold and cruel for no reason, which was a bit bluffing.
Li Fengran didn’t dare not say: “Li, Li Fengran…”
Li Fengran.
Sure enough it was him.
When a beautiful woman came to the dilapidated Tongzilou alone with her child, she was inevitably criticized. It was very similar to the protagonist’s experience in the novel. In the past few days, He Yu had noticed it, but he just wanted to verify it himself.
”Xiao Yu.” He’s mother thought He Yu was bullying, so she pulled He Yu back, “Don’t scare people.”
