From that day on, there was one more person in Bai Fanlu's solitary life.
That person appeared more punctually than the rising and setting of the sun, and he reported strongly every morning and evening. From a simple online contact to abducting him to meet every now and then, he successfully disrupted the straight-line rhythm of life on Baifan Road into a wavy line.
"Bai Xiaolu, the weather is fine today, do you want to go out for a walk?"
"Bai Xiaolu, have you had lunch yet? I'm collecting folk songs near your house, how about having dinner together?"
Or just a simple greeting, "Bai Xiaolu, what are you doing?"
But even though they had known each other for almost a month, Bai Fanlu still didn't know what the real name of this Great God of Floating Clouds was, and every time he ate "Bai Xiaolu", he was very noisy, and Bai Fanlu didn't have a chance to take the initiative to call his name.
Because of Fuyun Mobai's heinous entanglement skills, Bai Fanlu still half-pushed and continued to take over the later stages of the two dramas.
It's just that until now, the production of the first part of this radio drama has been delayed because the main character Shou has never been able to find a suitable candidate. Bai Fanlu turned to the previous cast list and found out that the cv of his character was written by " To be determined", while Yun Zhan had already agreed with Jun Zhao.
Bai Xiaolu: [The planner said you passed the 10th cv today?]
Floating Cloud Mobai: [Except Wushan is not a cloud.]
Bai Xiaolu:[…]
Floating Cloud Mobai: [Are you going on a long trip tomorrow?]
Bai Xiaolu: [How do you know?]
Floating Cloud Mobai: [There is a suitcase next to the bed behind you, it's not too small.]Baifanlu just remembered that he was fooled by this guy into opening a video chat just now, and later, for the convenience of browsing the web, he minimized the video window, and then... for some reason, he started typing again, and forgot to return it. Watching the video thing.
Suddenly there was a feeling of being peeped into privacy for a long time.
Bai Xiaolu hung up the video decisively.
Floating Cloud Mobai: [Are you angry?]
Bai Fanlu silently ignored the steps.
Floating Cloud Mobai: [I just saw you changing into your pajamas, and nothing else.]Bai Xiaolu: [They're all men, if you see something.]
Floating Cloud Mobai: [Baby, you are so cute, did you forget what novel I was writing?]Bai Fanlu blushed, and directly threw him a look of a little rabbit pulling out a carrot and beating him violently. This person really became more and more shameless.
But in the early morning of the next day, Bai Fanlu saw a certain great god downstairs who had been waiting for a long time with breakfast.
The Almighty had sharp eyes and quick hands, stuffed the breakfast in his hand to him, grabbed the box and threw it into the trunk of the car, and then opened the co-pilot's door as a gesture of invitation, the whole process was done in one go.
"I'll take you off, the airport or the train station?"
Bai Fanlu was defeated by him, "The train station."
After sitting for two hours by train and one hour by bus, Bai Fanlu finally arrived at his destination, a place he would visit at least once every season.
What used to be a small township welfare home has now been expanded into a formal child welfare institution.
The old dean and their grandmother had retired a few years earlier and went home to take care of the elderly, and they were replaced by a young dean. She had known that Bai Fanlu would come, and she was waiting at the gate of the courtyard at this time.
"Brother!"
This was also one of the children in the orphanage, named Zhang Xiaoling, who was two years younger than Bai Fanlu.
As soon as he entered her office, Bai Fanlu took out all kinds of clothes, toys, snacks, and gifts that were stuffed in the box. There are currently 13 children in the orphanage, and he has specially prepared for each of them, and even posted a corresponding post name tag.
"You've already transferred the money here, so what are you doing with so many things? It's so heavy."
"It's different, and they'll be glad to see it!"
Bai Fanlu was full of smiles, and laid out each piece on the desk like a treasure.
Now that the children are doing extracurricular activities, Bai Fanlu plans to give them a big surprise when they get together to play games at night.
At night, there was laughter in the activity classroom, and the children chattered around Baifan Road. Zhang Xiaoling's cell phone rang, and she went outside to answer the call.
"Xiao Liu? Well, big brother is here... Do you want to wait for him to leave before coming again?... Well, I see, he said that we should stay for three days and leave the day after tomorrow... Well, I know, I know, you can rest assured... Bye-Bye."
Zhang Xiaoling hung up the phone and looked into the window, where Bai Fanlu was playing catch with the children.
Blindfolded, he deliberately pretended to have no sense of direction, and occasionally bumped into tables and stools, which amused the children.
Zhang Xiaoling sighed, "I really don't understand Xiaoliu, obviously I was the most clingy to my elder brother when I was young."
Three days passed quickly, and it was time to part again.
Bai Fanlu was squeezed among a bunch of crying little groups, hugged and kissed them one by one, and then walked away step by step.
After all, there were still few cars in the town, and he waited for half an hour for a bus out of town. He got on the bus and sat in the front row by the window.
This road is being renovated, the potholes are not easy to walk, and Baifan Road is sitting and drowsy. When I got the ticket at the train station, I found out that the folder used to put the certificate and cash in the compartment of the school bag seemed to have fallen into the orphanage. up.
Last night, I took out the red envelopes as an extra subsidy from my brother to my sister. I was afraid that Zhang Xiaoling would not accept them, so I deliberately delayed wrapping them up until last night, and secretly put them in her office in the morning.
Baifan Road quickly took out his mobile phone and changed the time of the return train to afternoon. Fortunately, although this place is remote, it is not too far from City B. It is a necessary station for many long-distance trains, so there are still tickets left.
After changing the ticket, Baifan Road waited for another bus and headed back to the orphanage.
I wanted to inform Zhang Xiaoling in advance, but thinking that she might be busy at this time, I decided to go directly, anyway, it was just to get something.
After getting off the bus, Bai Fanlu hurried to the orphanage, and accidentally found a private car parked in the empty space next to the iron gate.
Are there any guests
Bai Fanlu guessed that caring people from the orphanage would occasionally come over. He didn't take it seriously at first, but the closer he got, the more he felt that the car looked familiar.
When he saw the license plate number clearly, he stopped in place.
In the dean's office, Zhang Xiaoling felt helpless looking at the piles of things that took up almost half of her office area.
She said to the tall young man next to her, "You two have very different styles of doing things, but the essence of doing things is the same."
"The second sister summed it up very well."
"But I'm wondering why you don't want to meet your elder brother? He loved you the most when he was a child. Could it be that you feel ashamed when you grow up?"
"I've met him before, but he doesn't know I'm Xiao Liu."
"Well, compared to when you were a child, you have indeed grown a lot."
The young man smiled lowly, "Has he become more handsome?"
"Don't be poor! By the way, my elder brother asked about the grant again the day before yesterday. I kept it from you and didn't say anything."
"Thank you, Second Sister."
"Don't thank me first, he asked me about it this time, I can see that he really wants to find a sponsor, and he said that now that he has money, he has to pay back the medical expenses... this matter Come on, I'm not the only one who knows, I'm not sure how long I can keep it from you... "
Bai Fanlu walked out of the gate of the orphanage slowly, and the guard greeted him enthusiastically, "Mr. Bai, why are you leaving again after you come back?"
Bai Fanlu forced a smile, "I forgot something, come back and get it."
But after such a reminder, Bai Fanlu realized that he didn't even go to the room where he slept last night to pick up his bag.
really...
I had no choice but to bite the bullet and go back.
Fortunately, there was no one in the dormitory, and he still had the key to the guest room, so he went there and opened the door.
There is another suitcase in the guest room, which is foreseeable on Baifan Road. The orphanage only has two rooms for temporary residence of guests, and they are usually allocated by men and women.
He had already moved out in the morning, and that person should have lived here as well.
Bai Fanlu went in and found his little clip in the gap of the bedside table next to the bed outside, and there was no sign of being moved.
He turned to look at the suitcase again.
He got the things, he should go, but...
Bai Fanlu sat on the chair like this for a long time with a lot of thoughts in his mind.
Until there was a slight sound of footsteps outside, it came from the stairs, it should have just gone up to the first floor, there are two stairs in this dormitory building, if he goes out at this time, he can go down the other stairs without having to meet people.
But Bai Fanlu still waited quietly, until the sound of picking out the keys stopped abruptly not far away with the sound of the door being pushed open.
"I thought about it for a long time. I was really angry at you for hiding it from me at first, so I wanted to leave just like that..."
"But I also feel that this is too cheap for you. Isn't the love from childhood to adulthood worth an explanation?"
Bai Fanlu said slowly, and looked up at the door.
The tall figure standing against the light, with floating clouds and black ink, is the great writer, or his former younger brother "Xiao Liu".
When Fuyun Mobai saw Bai Fanlu, his expression was stunned for a moment, but finally he was relieved, "You know? Well, instead of making you bother to find out, it's really better for me to tell you."
He walked in, put a bag on the table, pulled out the chair and sat down, facing Bai Fanlu on the bed.
"After I was adopted, I went abroad for a while, and then I came back to look for you, but at that time you... you could no longer see."
Bai Fanlu knew that shortly after he left, Xiao Liu was also adopted, and the two of them hadn't seen each other since then. It turned out that he had... looked for him
"I made money by writing novels, and the first bucket of money was sent back to my grandma, but my adoptive father helped to contact doctors and hospitals. Without his help, I would not have enough contacts."
Fuyun Mobai brought this matter up in a few words, and Bai Fanlu could see from the flickering eyes that he probably didn't want him to recall those bad things.
Actually, Bai Fanlu doesn't care about those things anymore, but, "Why didn't you tell me?"
"If you knew it was me, would you accept my money?"
An anonymous caring person, who can't find anyone after giving money, and can't get it back even if he wants to, is what people can't refuse.
"Then why you obviously came back, but never told me?"
Floating Cloud Mobai looked at Bai Fanlu, his gaze stayed on his face for two seconds, he lowered his eyes, and smiled helplessly.
"Because... I will bring you bad things when I am by your side."
"What?" Bai Fanlu didn't understand the logic of his words, "Why do you think so..."
But Fuyun Mobai started to get a little excited, he gritted his teeth, his eyes were slightly red, revealing the hidden hatred.
"That guy didn't want you at all at first. I was pestering you to pull you out. When he saw you, he changed temporarily and wanted to adopt you."
Bai Fanlu shook his head, "How can this be your fault..."
"Why don't you blame me!" Fuyun Mobai interrupted him with a low growl, "After hearing about your accident, I had nightmares every day. Someone told me that it was because of me that you encountered this misfortune!"
"I shouldn't be too close to you, I shouldn't have any unreasonable thoughts about you, I can only stay away from you, just look at you, and only by not getting close to you can you be safe..."
As he spoke, he propped his hands on the back of the chair, buried his head in his arms, the knuckles holding his hair turned white, and his shoulders trembled.
"It's all my fault, you can't see it, I almost lost you... Do you know how scared and uncomfortable I am? How can you not blame me—"
Suddenly, he froze.
Bai Fanlu hugged him and patted his back lightly.
Just like when he was a child, except that the young man in front of him has grown taller and stronger than himself. Bai Fanlu bent over and embraced him who was sitting on the chair, feeling a pair of arms wrapped around his waist, a strong mature man The strength of a man.
But that face was buried deep in his chest, giving off a feeling of fragility for no reason.
Bai Fanlu patted him lightly, giving him all his patience and tenderness.
"Xiao Liu, you can't say that about yourself."
Although it is true that that man almost changed his life, Bai Fanlu once jumped from the third floor in order to avoid that man's evil intentions, the most serious sequelae was damage to the optic nerve, after which he spent ten years in the dark .
"Even if it's not me, it will be our brothers and sisters. Have you ever thought about it, but whoever he chooses will be younger than me."
He is the oldest and most sensible, and it is precisely because of his high vigilance that he was not succeeded by the villains.
"I'm your big brother. Didn't you say from a young age that big brother is the most powerful and can drive away the big bad wolf? That's why I can defeat him."
It was him who escaped by luck, the incident of jumping off the building made a big splash, and the man's previous convictions were exposed and sent to prison, and he died of illness not long after.
"Now I can see again, our cherished brothers and sisters have all grown up safely, the orphanage is getting better and better, those poor children who are as poor as us can enjoy more and better care, nothing is better than this Consummation, we should be satisfied and happy."
Zi Fanlu spoke slowly, feeling the breath in his arms, stroking his hair with his fingers, and patting him comfortingly.
"Xiao Liu, are you right?"
"elder brother… "
Floating Cloud Mobai hugged Bai Fanlu tightly, and started crying like a big child at some point.
"Why are you crying? How old are you?" Bai Fanlu pretended to be disgusted, "If you cry again, I won't hug you anymore."
As soon as the threatening words came out, they were hugged even tighter.
"Brother, I'm sorry... I was not by your side when you were in the most difficult time, but I really... miss you... miss you so much..."
"I know...don't cry, you're just stupid."
Taking all the responsibility on yourself, and not recognizing him because of such a stupid reason, isn't it stupid!
The changed ticket failed to make the trip in the end. Zhang Xiaoling learned that Bai Fanlu and Xiaoliu knew each other, so she persuaded Bai Fanlu to stay one more night, and the three of them had a good time together.
Although the two lived in one room at night, they each slept in a bed.
After Bai Fanlu lay down, seeing Xiao Liu smirking at him, he turned his back on purpose not to look at him.
After a while, the man fell asleep after hearing the sound, and Bai Fanlu quietly turned around again, Xiao Liu still kept facing the direction he was facing just now.
Bai Fanlu knew that he came by car, just to bring more things. After such a long journey, he was tired after all, so he fell asleep soundly.
The curtains were not drawn on the window, and the moonlight could illuminate the room a bit. Bai Fanlu quietly looked at the sleeping face.
I heard from Zhang Xiaoling that Xiao Liu has donated a lot of money to the orphanage over the years, and the sum probably accounted for more than half of his writing income.
"little six… "
Bai Fanlu recalled his previous suspicions that Yun Zhan became Xiaoliu because he was not dusty. He not only knew what Xiaoliu looked like when he was a child, but also knew all kinds of details about him and the past of the two of them.
He still remembered that he asked Yun Zhan why he knew Xiao Liu so well, and Yun Zhan said he couldn't answer.
Bai Fanlu felt that he might have guessed the reason.
