What's your name?
"I'm called Yunxi, what's your name?" The girl bent down, looking at this reserved little boy who was a bit smaller than her age and size, and asked carefully.
"I... My name is... "I don't know …" The boy lowered his head.
The girl's expression darkened for a moment before regaining her innocence. She said, "Wait!" Then he quickly ran away. Yun Xi ran to the mother of the dean and shouted, "Luo Mai!"
"Slow down, kid."
The one called Luo Mai was an aunt who was in her fifties. She had a kind expression on her face as she reached out her hands to support Yun Xi who was running very fast. Yun Xi reached out her hand and placed it in Luo Mai's big hand, then pulled her.
Pulling down the door, Yun Xi pointed at the little boy and asked, "Luo Mai, what, what is the name of the little boy?"
Luo Fengjuan looked in the direction she was looking, smiled, and said: "His name is He Ziming, she just came to our orphanage yesterday."
"Alright." After saying that, Yun Xi broke away from her hand and ran towards him.
"Yun Xi!" "Come back here!" Luo Mai shouted anxiously.
Yun Xi turned back. "What is it?"
Luo Fengjuan reached out her hand, carefully took off the jade pendant around her neck, and said: "I'll give this to you to store. Don't ruin it, you'll have to find your biological parents in the future. This is a keepsake. "
A look of disappointment appeared in Yun Xi's eyes, but did not escape Luo Fengjuan's gaze. Then, she opened his mouth and said, "I will keep this for you, you can relax and go play with it. Be happy, you can't stay in the orphanage forever. You're going to grow up. "
She smiled and said to Luo Mai: "Thank you." Then she turned and ran away.
When the boy saw Yun Xi running towards him, he had a bit of expectation. Yun Xi said to him as he ran, "I know what your name is! "Haha!"
"What's my name?" The boy stared at him.
"You are called He Ziming."
The boy laughed, the girl laughed.
Yun Xi extended his hand. "I'll be your sister from now on. I'll protect you."
He Ziming reached out his hand, and then, was held tightly by Yun Xi. Even until many years later, when He Ziming had led a luxurious life abroad, he still could not forget the warmth of Zhong Yunxi's hands at that time. That was the first time Little had learned what was called warmth after being abandoned by his parents.
Luo Fengjuan saw this scene from the window, and her eyes reddened. She lowered her head, looking at the jade pendant in her hands, which had the word 'Yun' carved on it. She then said to herself, "We will definitely meet again, good child."
He Ziming's information was kept in a book. He was abandoned, all the information on the child was real, it was just that he had to live through his youth in this orphanage.
In the evening, the number of children in the courtyard gradually decreased. This was the moment when the mosquitoes were at their most berserk, causing He Ziming to be unable to sleep.
Yun Xi was very happy to see him. She saw him beckoning to his, so she nodded in tacit understanding and left. The two children were standing in the yard.
He Ziming stretched out his hand and gave it to Yun Xi, "This is for you."
"Wow, a little bear biscuit!" Yun Xi was surprised. She liked eating biscuits the most, especially those that tasted strawberry. He asked, "Why did you give it to me?"
A child doesn't think too much. If you treat me well, I'll treat you well. He Ziming was stumped, he did not know why. There was no answer.
Yun Xi thought for a while and said, "How about this, I can't just eat my brother's food. Wait for me, I also have something nice to eat."
He Ziming nodded, his tiny round eyes filled with anticipation for Yun Xi. He saw happiness and expectation for growth in this big sister of his.
After a while, Yun Xi ran out and took two strawberry-flavored lollipops. He extended his hand in front of He Ziming and said, "This is our exchange, take it."
He Ziming laughed, and Yun Xi saw him smile for the first time, before she did the same. This lollipop was not just a physical object to him, but it contained the care and concern of everyone who was not related to him by blood.
Later, the two of them played together and ate together, and became good friends that could talk about anything. Yunxi likes to eat lollipops and also likes to eat biscuits. Not only did He Ziming like to exchange tasty things with her, she also liked to exchange tasty things with him.
They wouldn't express their feelings at the time, and only after a few years did they understand each other. In fact, that kind of exchange was just a way of letting them know that there was still someone who was kind to them in this orphanage where they had no parents and no one to rely on. That kind of person was the one who treated them the best.
Care and love are what everyone in the world needs.
Zhong Yunxi did not realise that when she thought about these memories, her tears had already started to fall. That was twenty years ago.
She reached out her hand to wipe her tears. Then, she switched on the phone, opened the communication device, and wrote down a note on the phone.
He Ziming, it's really, really been a long time.
After Yun Xi was brought away by the Zhong Family, He Ziming secretly cried for a few rounds. Seeing him like this, Liu Fang made a call and requested for He Ziming to go to Zhong Family. Liu Fang and Zhong Dahai discussed the matter for a while, then saw that Yun Xi also seemed to be pleading for him, so he agreed.
He Ziming saw Yun Xi in Zhong Family, and the two of them cried the moment they met. They had already grown up at that time, and knew what it meant to be adopted by someone, and they might not meet each other again for the rest of their lives.
After being adopted by the Zhong Family for around a week, He Ziming was adopted by a couple from Southeast Asia. Luo Fengjuan asked about their situation. It turned out that the couple were Singaporeans and were in charge of international trading, so after hearing their conditions, Luo Fengjuan was so excited that she wanted to cry.
She kept telling He Ziming that a good life was about to begin.
Thus, in the midst of growing up, the two of them separated. Along the way, He Ziming and his adoptive parents returned back to his hometown to complete the procedures for his going to school. He followed his memories and found Zhong Yunxi's home.
When Zhong Yunxi saw He Ziming, she was shocked. That timid boy back then was already a head taller than her. This made Zhong Yunxi feel extremely happy, as if she had become a completely different person.
Even after not seeing each other for a few years, it did not affect their relationship. It was the same for He Ziming when he saw He Ziming, and it was the same for He Ziming when he saw her. He tried to ask himself what was the meaning of this heartbeat. But he could not find an answer.
They would meet each other every day. Or it could be said that He Ziming would go to Zhong Yunxi's school every day to wait for her to come out from school. For a while, the students even thought that she had fallen in love with him. This made her feel a little embarrassed.
One day, she said to He Ziming: "Zi Po, why don't you stop coming to school to see me? "Misunderstanding."
When these words came out, He Ziming was actually a little happy, and said, "You're my big sister, what's there to be afraid of?" However, his heart was a little happy because of this kind of misunderstanding.
However, something that made him worry still happened. She realized that in these few years, Zhong Yunxi had changed, and he could no longer find that lively and carefree attitude that she had, that helped him stand up and play games with him.
He Ziming had followed Zhong Yunxi to the Zhong Family before, it was a normal and plain house. To him, this kind of environment wasn't even as big as the backyard of his house, but he couldn't reveal this kind of sadness. With Zhong Yunxi's personality, she would definitely misunderstand that she was being pitied.
"Yunxi." He Ziming sat on her school's field, beside her and said, "How about, you follow me abroad?"
"Huh?" Zhong Yunxi was already very generous and somewhat shocked, but she did not reveal it too openly. Instead, she turned her head to look at He Ziming, as if she was confirming what he had said.
"Come with me." He Ziming suddenly laughed, he did not want her to feel that he was pitying her.
The two people now were the complete opposite of their roles a few years back. On the contrary, it was He Ziming who spoke frankly, while Zhong Yunxi was a gentle and refined person who did not talk much, only occasionally smiling.
Hearing his words, Zhong Yunxi shook her head, and after a while, she opened her mouth and said: "I want to go to university."
"You can go to school abroad as well." He Ziming said loudly.
"That's different." Zhong Yunxi said calmly, if she told him, it would be to tell him herself.
Thus, Zhong Yunxi told him all the possibilities of reality blocking her path. He Ziming was momentarily taken aback when he heard it, and then, Zhong Yunxi said: "No matter what, there will come a day in the future when I have to support my parents."
After saying that, Zhong Yunxi lowered her head.
He Ziming suddenly asked: "The people from Zhong Family are not good to you, right?" Otherwise, how could she become like this? It was completely different from what he remembered.
Zhong Yunxi shook her head and did not say a word.
"It must be." He Ziming said, "Otherwise, you..."
Even when the words were about to reach his mouth, He Ziming still did not say it out loud.
Zhong Yunxi raised her left hand, looked at her watch and said: "Zi Po, I have to go home. I went back home a little late today."
"I'll send you back." Without waiting for He Ziming to finish speaking, Zhong Yunxi stopped him: "I don't need it, I can go back myself." Then, she turned around and left after walking only a few steps. When she saw He Ziming looking at her back, she suddenly laughed, and this small moment caused He Ziming to recall the little girl who liked to wear dresses a few years ago, and he heard her say, "Zi Po, seeing that you're doing so well, I feel at ease. I'm very happy, really very happy."
Without waiting for a reply, Zhong Yunxi turned and left.
He did not see the tears that flowed down Zhong Yunxi's face as she turned around.
He Ziming, I am really happy to see you doing so well. Thank you for your company in the years of my loneliest life, we are not the same person. Thank you for remembering me in your heart after you experienced such a noble life, and for not forgetting to be sincere, sincere, and grateful …
He Ziming looked at her back, and his heart began to feel a little sad. She had changed, completely changed. He was no longer the little girl who laughed heartily.
Yun Xi, you have completely become someone I don't know. You wait for me, when I grow up, when I'm strong enough, I will send you abroad to live with me. He Ziming silently swore to himself in his heart.
His hand found his pants and he ran after him.
Zhong Yunxi felt someone pat her shoulder. When she turned around, he saw He Ziming's face, and the little bear biscuit that he had handed out, she said, "Can I exchange a lollipop with you?"
Zhong Yunxi's tears uncontrollably flowed down like this, as she nodded her head and then, the little bear biscuit in He Ziming's hand, was used in his arms afterwards.
There would definitely be a person in this world who, in the life of your childhood, would accompany you in a frenzy as you fought your way through that one-in-a-lifetime age period.
And then, with more and more variables in his life, he moved on to his own life.
