Raising a younger brother is not easy

Chapter 4

Opening his eyes, rubbing his fingers lightly, he propped up his body and sat on the bed.

After a long time, he realized that there was a person beside him. He lowered his fingers from his eyes, revealing those clear eyes, and gently shifted his gaze to Herod. Most people would react normally when they saw someone sitting next to them early in the morning. They all shouted loudly, or they were taken aback, but Mo Cheng just said softly "Good morning." He didn't ask any more questions, and he didn't even say "How long have you been here."

Herod rubbed his hair, "Good morning." Mo Cheng didn't resist or be surprised, his eyes remained the same, but a little lowered, he sat on the bed for a long time, and said slowly, "What's your name?"

Hearing his question, Herod suddenly felt dumbfounded. Could it be that they had been together for almost five days, yet they didn't know the name of the person who saved him? Mo Cheng suddenly added, "Your surname is Bai, they call you Master Lu, but I don't know if your name is Bai Lu or Bai Lu."

Herod should have gotten used to Meaux's unique way of thinking and speaking long ago. "Herod White, Herod of Hope, Rhythm of Rhythm."

"Mocheng, the city under siege." Mocheng introduced himself very briefly.

"I know." Herod put Meaux's new clothes in front of him, "Change your clothes, do you need someone to bring you breakfast?"

"How much?" Mo Cheng was silent for a while, causing Herod to be at a loss suddenly, and raised his head to ask Herod.

"No money." He thought Mo Cheng was talking about medical expenses, but the result was unexpected. "How much is the rent for your room?"

Herod was stunned for a while, "No rent."

Mo Cheng didn't show much disappointment, he just responded "I want to rent!" as a matter of course, he didn't take into account Herod's unusual reaction, he expected that the little guy would calculate the medical expenses, but this room...

"Mocheng, 15 years old, blood type O, no job, can cook, wash clothes and clean the floor, if you don't mind giving me a [-]% discount on the rent, I can pay it back, I study in Dongfang Middle School, if you renege on your debts, you can go there and arrest me " Mo Cheng advertised for himself, maybe there is no place to go.

Herod looked at Meaux, and began to wonder whether the child's nerves had lost the ability to work normally, and why for him, joy, anger, sorrow, and joy were all in the same way, quietly and softly.This child who had been looking for ten years, Herod had recalled the scene of the two meeting more than once before, but now he is not under his control.

Mocheng quietly waited for Herod Bai's reply, but Herod Bai said a sentence that he thought he would never repeat if he was beaten to death in this life, "I'll give you a [-]% discount if you laugh."

After saying these words, Mocheng didn't seem to respond, and he still looked at him quietly, but Herod already wished to turn back time, why did he say such a sentence to his Mocheng like a prostitute? Is his Chengcheng a joke?

But when the next thing happened, Herod Bai thought that the rigorous three views of the past 20 years had completely collapsed. Mocheng looked at him straight, and Herod waited for Mocheng to shout "No!"

But Mo Cheng's eyes suddenly opened wide, and he showed Herod a smile for the first time since they met. It seemed that he wanted to be as bright as possible. After one, two, three, three seconds, the smile converged. As if everything was an illusion just now, "One fold, you said."

stay around the world

This is the eighth year since Meaux disappeared. Herod began to go to his father to take over. Because Bai Yuxun suffered from liver cancer, which was already at an advanced stage. Herod and his son never had any consoling and false words. Before his hospital bed, he left a sentence "I will take over the shift well."

Herod will always remember the look in his father's eyes and the last sentence before his death, "I regret it...if he is still by your side..." Bai Yuxun died before finishing this sentence, but Herod knew the second part: if He is still with you, at least he is with you.

With these words, Herod suddenly forgave everything his father had done for some reason, at least now he agrees that the city is more than just scenery to him.

Thinking about it in a blink of an eye, so what, after ten years, the little guy still hasn't been able to appear by his side.

In Herod's room, there was an exquisite small cabinet, which displayed various gifts, and there were labels with the year and a sentence on it.

Chengcheng's fifth birthday, it's been three months and five days since he left his brother, and his brother lost you...

Chengcheng's sixth birthday, happy birthday, you have been away from your brother for more than a year, do you miss him?

Chengcheng's seventh birthday, baby, happy birthday, you still haven't received this year's gift.

……

Chengcheng's 13th birthday, you are about to graduate from elementary school, but your brother can't watch him grow up.

It has been eight years, and every year he remembers Chengcheng's birthday more clearly and firmly than anything else, but the eight birthday presents are still quietly placed and dusty, whenever he is sad, he always wakes up in the middle of the night to be careful, slowly Wiping these gifts that belonged to Mocheng.

Father left, he was the only one left, this mansion lost a little bit of its popularity, the room next door has been tightly closed, it is a place in this house that no one is allowed to step in, a forbidden place.

This room is a hope for Herod. For so many years, he has been carefully arranging the room prepared for Chengcheng, cleaning it himself every month, and redecorating it every year, because Chengcheng is very important to him. It is possible to live in a certain day, a certain year, a certain age.

Herod did not become cold and ruthless and isolated from the world because of the accident at the age of ten. On the contrary, he had his best friends and partners, and never showed the unique negativity due to the lack of Meaux. For him, the story of him and Meaux, No sharing rights!

So his buddies just knew he lost his baby and didn't ask much about anything else.

Herod regained his thoughts, and looked at the little guy's face in a daze in the dark. He recalled everything in the past. It turned out that God still had a gift for him. Today, two years later, he finally found this little guy. At this moment, he was lying quietly and sound asleep in the room he had arranged for him for ten years, and this room finally waited for his little master ten years later.

The little guy doesn't look like a 15-year-old boy at all, he looks younger than his actual age, his body is a little small, he looks like a primary school student, and he has suffered a lot, he is not tall enough, and his face is not rosy enough. Since the first time we met, my complexion has never been rosy, but has always been morbidly pale.

Meaux appeared for the first time ten years later, and it still makes Herod feel bad in retrospect.

Because of Meaux, Herod sometimes inexplicably paid attention to the boys on the street who went to school and were about the same age as Meaux. At that time, when he happened to pass by an alley, he saw a group of boys beating up a boy and fell to the ground. The boy did not cry, and his face showed a stubbornness that was different from ordinary people. Unfortunately, the exposed skin on his face was red and even bleeding.

Herod subconsciously went out to save him, and the driver beside him drove away the group of children. He knelt down to help the child up, but the child retreated instinctively, and there was a flash of concern for the rescuer in his eyes. Curious, but soon hung down again, got up without saying a word, patted the dust, picked up the old schoolbag beside him, said thank you softly, turned around and left.

Herod just felt that the child looked familiar, but he didn't recognize that this was his city for a while. After all, the appearance of a five-year-old and a fifteen-year-old child are still a little different.

But his school badge was left at Herod's feet. The moment Herod picked up the school badge, his heart was full of turmoil, and he hurried to catch up, but the city of Meau had disappeared, and Herod couldn't find Meau in the crowd. But he held the school badge tightly in his hand and said to himself, "Never lose it a second time!"

With the school badge, it is natural to find the school and class where Mocheng is located. Herod specially found time to go to class, but was afraid that Chengcheng would disappear again.

But when they went to school, all the students in that class were in class, except that Meaux was missing, and the teacher didn't know his whereabouts, which made Herod furious.

As a result, some students yelled, "Look, someone is on the roof and is about to jump off the building."

Herod's heart tightened. The only thing missing here was his city. Could it be... He didn't dare to look up, but when he looked up to the rooftop, the one sitting on the side was the child on the side of the road that day. His city of Meaux.

Mo Cheng's eyes were very quiet, and he couldn't see where his eyes were pointing, but it made Herod afraid, so that whenever he showed this look in the future, Herod would feel palpitations.

Those legs kept dangling outside the roof. He didn't realize that the person who loved him the most in the world was looking at him. Herod immediately rushed up to the roof. While running, he looked at Meau on the edge of the roof. The corners of his mouth slowly turned up. That kind of smile should not be his own. It is a last response to life. He has been in this world. This is a smile that means the end of this journey of life.

His eyes closed slowly, the wind blew through the hair on his forehead, the sunlight refracted by his pale cheeks seemed unreal, his body leaned forward slightly, and his body instantly left the edge of the roof and fell, hoping Ritsu stopped, only to hear a loud sound of water.

Fortunately, there was a pond under the side of the building where Mocheng was sitting, so Mocheng did not leave the world where Herod was.

Herod once asked Meaux "
