Chapter 3501 "Break the Appointment"

At the woman's signal, the little boy sat back on the swing.

……

"You're right!"

Before the little boy even sat down, he couldn't wait to share with his big sister how he had met the mushroom-headed boy again today.

“I really met him again today…”

……

The woman sat on the swing next to the little boy.

He tilted his head and looked at the little boy.

Eyes and eyebrows are smiling.

Looks gentle.

……

Since their last chance encounter, the little boy would meet the mushroom-headed boy from time to time.

After asking him several times why he came here and getting the same vague answer, the little boy stopped asking.

He was happy to see the mushroom-headed boy more often.

With the company and playfulness of friends, the little boy no longer found it so difficult to accept the loneliness or quarrels at home that he should have been accustomed to.

At least……

Compared to being alone before, he now has an older sister who is more like the image of his mother than his real mother.

He has friends of the same age.

He had someone to talk to.

There is also someone to share with.

Even though he didn't show it on his face, he was actually very happy in his heart.

……

The older sister and the mushroom-headed boy are both very important to the little boy.

In front of the older sister, he talked a lot about the mushroom-headed boy.

In front of the mushroom-headed boy, he also talked a lot about the older sister.

So, even though the older sister and the mushroom-headed boy had never met each other, they knew a lot about each other.

……

The little boy really wants to introduce the older sister to the mushroom-headed boy.

They had no objection to his proposal.

only……

The little boy's facial features were wrinkled into a ball.

I do not know how it is……

Every time he took the mushroom-headed boy to the open space in front of the building...

The elder sisters are not here.

……

Because the mushroom-headed boy didn't live here, and he always came to see him after school...

They didn't spend much time together.

The mushroom-headed boy has to go home before dark.

So there is not much time to wait for the big sister to appear.

And every time the mushroom-headed boy left, the older sister would appear shortly afterwards.

This coincidence of timing made the little boy very upset.

……

The little boy felt helpless about the repeated misses between the older sister and the mushroom-headed boy.

It's also a bit frustrating.

It's obviously just a little bit...

Why can’t I meet him?

……

The older sister gently touched the little boy's head.

Tell the little boy...

If she and the mushroom-headed boy are destined to meet, they will eventually meet.

No need to rush.

……

The little boy was comforted.

Ok.

Since the elder sister said so...

He believed what his elder sister said.

Just like the older sister said before that he would meet the mushroom-headed boy again, didn’t he meet him?

This time will be no exception.

The older sister said that if she and the mushroom-headed boy were destined to be together, they would definitely meet one day in the future.

Well, he was looking forward to that day.

……

The little boy hurriedly took the mushroom-headed boy to the open space in front of the building again and again.

They have more choices.

……

He was really happy during that time.

Even his desk mate turned around and looked at him, asking him if anything good had happened to him recently.
Why are you so happy?
He was a little surprised.

Is he so obviously happy?
He was also a little at a loss.

Because he didn’t know how to answer this question from his deskmate?
Is it because he met two very good friends?

I always feel like I will be laughed at...

Fortunately, the ringing school bell saved him.

……

After the class, his deskmate had forgotten the questions he had not gotten answers from him before.

……

The conflict between the little boy's father and mother is getting bigger and bigger.

It had reached the point where they would make sarcastic remarks whenever they met and then it would quickly escalate into an argument. The little boy became more and more cautious at home.

He tried his best to minimize his presence.

……

Occasionally, when he sits alone at the dining table eating dinner, he would feel a little dazed.

Did he really eat at the same table with his parents?

He could not recall any warm memories of his parents.

His mind was filled with...

Just their endless quarrels.

……

Mom and Dad are getting divorced.

Even though he had already vaguely guessed that this day would come...

Sometimes he was so annoyed by their quarrels that he thought about just getting a divorce.

So that we don’t have to quarrel all day long.

but……

When they were really about to divorce, the little boy still felt uneasy and even scared.

He suddenly discovered...

He would rather they quarreled every day than divorced.

They divorced...

This home is gone.

……

But just like the invisible role he has always played, he cannot have any influence on his parents' decision.

They don't care what he thinks at all.

……

The little boy habitually goes to his older sister to talk.

result…..
Until night fell and the windows of those who had gone to bed early became dark, he still didn't wait for his elder sister.

……

The little boy silently got up from the swing.

big sister……

What's going on today?

That's why I can't come over.

……

The fact that he could see his elder sister every time he came here made him forget one thing...

His first meeting with the elder sister was by chance.

The second time, the third time... and countless other meetings that followed were actually chance encounters.

They did not make an appointment to meet.

But every time he came over, after a while, he could hear the gentle voice of his elder sister.

Because of this, he forgot the appointment he made with his elder sister to meet tomorrow.

……

The little boy pursed his lips.

it's dark.

He's going home.

It's ok.

He comforted himself.

My elder sister must have something to do that’s why she didn’t come today.

tomorrow……

Big sister will definitely come tomorrow.

……

The little boy once again realized the importance of leaving the other party's contact information.

Otherwise, at this time, he could go home and call his elder sister to ask her why she didn't come today?

……

The next day, after the last class, the little boy put on his schoolbag and rushed to the door.

Although he has been very active after school during this period.

But he ran straight out of the classroom and didn't stop running in the corridor...

This is a bit strange.

This attracted curious glances from many classmates in the class.

……

The little boy was unaware.

His heart was beating restlessly.

Before meeting his elder sister, he had no way to calm his anxiety and nervousness.

……

The little boy ran to the open space in front of the building as if he knew the way.

Noticing that there was someone on the swing not far away, his face lit up with joy.

After just taking a step, he paused.

Not the eldest sister.

The one sitting on the swing is also a big sister.

But she was not the big sister he was looking for.

……

The little boy was disappointed.

But soon, he cheered up.

He came early today.

Even if the elder sister wanted to come, she wouldn't come so early.

It should take some time...
