That morning.

After Li Weize was sitting at the cash register and eating breakfast, the landline rang suddenly.

He connected, and an old voice came from inside.

"Nanny, are you home yet?"

Li Weize was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Grandpa, it's me. My mother hasn't come back yet, what's wrong?"

The other side was silent for a while, and the old man's voice visibly faded.

"Oh, it's you-your mother took the train back last night, and when she got home, she asked her to call me."

"Okay, Grandpa, your body is still..."

There was a busy tone to hang up on the phone.

Li Weize's unspoken words got stuck in his throat. He put down the phone in silence, pursed his lips, and walked to the silver counter.

Li Weize was born on New Year's Eve more than ten years ago.

In such a poor and feudal rural family, it was a great joy to be able to give birth to a boy, but when the midwife hesitated to show the extra finger of his left hand to the elders, that New Year’s Eve changed. taste.

Because of Six Fingers, he was regarded as a "catastrophe" since he was a child. Except for his biological parents, no one showed the slightest love and care for him.

Later, when he was six years old, his parents borrowed money from relatives and walked out of the backward rural areas to the prosperous Nancheng, hoping to give him a better education and life.

Although his parents arranged the marriage, the two have always been very affectionate.

My father got a job moving cement, and my mother worked as a babysitter. Although she didn't make much money, her family of three had a good life.

Last year, my mother fainted suddenly at work, and only when she was sent to the hospital did she realize that she was actually three months pregnant.

He was overjoyed and hurried to the construction site where his father was and told him the good news.

But who knows, disasters fall from the sky——

The crane that was operating on the construction site suddenly broke down, and all the dozen or so steel bars hanging by the hook fell down.

His father pushed him away at the moment of his death, but he was penetrated by steel bars and died on the spot.

After that, my mother used the money from the construction site to buy a storefront next to the school and opened a convenience store.

The pillar of the house fell, and my mother became busy and haggard. Her eyes, which were always full of enthusiasm and hope, gradually became like a piece of scratched glass.

He was forced to mature prematurely when he was very young. Naturally, he could tell that his mother resented him and hated him for killing her husband.

He hated himself too, so he became more reticent.

Li Weize raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corner of his eyes, got up and walked towards the back door.

There was a step outside the back door leading to the second floor, which was the small home of the three of them.

Standing at the door of his mother and brother's room, he slowly turned the doorknob open.

The room was a little messy, the closet was open, and only a row of empty hangers were left inside.

There is a folded homework paper on the little brother's dining table.

There is a round fold on the corner of the paper, which seems to be a tear.

Li Weize stared at this fold without blinking, and there was a "boom" in his head.

Su Junxin listened to his story in silence.

Li Weize had stopped choking, sitting on the steps of the convenience store, staring at the ground before his toes in a daze.

"It would be fine if... I was a normal person." He said hoarsely, "If I have only five fingers like everyone else, I won't be regarded as a disaster star or a freak. Every year, I can sit upright. By my grandparents...my dad won't die, and my mother won't abandon me..."

Su Junxin's eyelashes trembled lightly, and after a while, she spoke softly.

"We want everything to be perfect, but life is an adventure with an unknown future. When disappointment and frustration strikes, everyone will be unable to bear it. Sometimes, we will choose to bite the bullet and move on. Sometimes, we have to give up resistance and temporarily disappear for a while."

Li Weize was startled slightly, "So, will my mother come back?"

Su Junxin shook her head.

"I can't tell you, but if you feel you can't bear it now, at least I can let you know that you have more than one choice."

He raised his head.

Su Junxin's eyes were gentle, and she looked at him quietly.

After a while, Li Weize's eyes became wet again, and he choked up and said: "I will... bite the bullet and move on."

She curled her lips and stepped forward to hug him lightly.

"Li Weize, I have heard a sentence before, now I share it with you."

Her palm was gently stroking behind his back, and her voice seemed to contain healing power.

"I used to be called a freak, but here is the ridiculous thing about growing up. For many years, everyone was afraid of being different and different from ordinary people. Then suddenly, almost overnight, everyone was Wanting to be different from others is like a large army suddenly turning around and running in the opposite direction. We have known that this day will come, but we just waited quietly. Until then, it will be the moment of our victory."

Li Weize buried her shoulders, and finally couldn't help it, shaking and crying.

It was almost late at night when Su Junxin returned home.

She noticed a black car parked in front of the long-empty villa opposite, which was the same brand as Qin You's house.

Xiao You suddenly moved in her arms, Su Junxin recovered and took out the key to open the lock.

As soon as he closed the door, Xiaoyou couldn't wait to show his original shape.

It jumped up and down in mid-air, murmured in its mouth.

Su Junxin was taken aback, and quickly reached out and grabbed it, "Xiaoyou, Xiaoyou! What's wrong with you?"

The little right body twisted and flexibly slipped out of her palms, hovering in front of her, while waving her front paws, making all kinds of strange noises.

Su Junxin stared at it dumbfounded and blinked in confusion.

When Xiao You repeated a certain action for the second time, she finally understood something.

"...Xiao You, do you have anything to tell me?"

Little Right moved for a while, his eyes lit up suddenly, and he nodded vigorously.

"Related to me?"

It thought for a while, nodded and shook its head.

"Then... has something to do with the people around me?"

Xiao You nodded vigorously again.

"Liu Ya? Su Yi? Meng Mingkun?" She immediately thought of these people who had been enemies with herself.

Xiao You's head shook like a rattle.

"It's not them, it's Qin You? Or Li Weize? Is it Zhang Ziang?"

Xiao You looked down at his front paws, and raised **** with difficulty.

"Li Weize?"

Suddenly remembering Xiaoyou's abnormal behavior towards Li Weize before, Su Junxin instantly blessed her soul.

"Xiaoyou, do you know about Li Weize?"

Xiao You soon started tossing in the air again, using his hands and feet to imitate human movements.

Su Junxin frowned and carefully observed its movements.

"You are imitating Li Weize right now, are you?" She suddenly realized, "Wait, slow down...what does this action mean, cry? Falling to the ground? Was bullied? Wait, just show it again... ?Monster?"

One person and one dragon used this weird way to "communicate" for more than half an hour, and finally Su Junxin came to a conclusion——

In the future, she must teach Xiao You to type with the keyboard.

Seeing it look so tired and panting, Su Junxin really couldn't laugh or cry.

"Xiao You, I know you tried your best, but I really can't guess what you want to tell me. It's already late today. Let's try again tomorrow, okay?"

Xiao You was really too tired. He opened his mouth and yawned, nodded his head, hugged it on the pillow, and snored after a while.

Soon, Su Junxin also washed and lay down.

The clock was ticking, and the room was quiet.

Half-dreaming and half-awake, she seemed to have stepped into another world...
