At first, Yue Ming thought it was just a coincidence.
Yoyo is not the kind of character who would silently give gifts behind her back. If she wanted to give flowers to others, she would definitely start with picking flowers, and run and shout all the way to rush over and stuff them into the other person's arms.
But Gu Miaomiao and Shen Jichuan would not do such a thing.
It's strange to say that they are obviously a few years younger than him, but Yue Ming occasionally forgets about this and treats them as adults unconsciously.
... So how could someone send him flowers with nothing to do
Yue Ming was lying on the window, looking down at the flower that silently fell on his window sill, and decided to regard it as a romantic supernatural event.
"Xiao Ming, have the results of the last English test in the cram school come out?"
Two days before his birthday, Aunt Zhang asked Yueming about his studies.
"It's out." Yueming went to his schoolbag to find its paper, his eyes were shining with the light of Qi Qi Ai Ai, "I did the questions for the first grade of junior high school, and the teacher said that it was better than most of the students of the first grade of junior high..."
"How many points?"
"One hundred points!"
"Well, then we have to work hard, out of one hundred and two, right? We are not as good as others, we have to work harder..."
"But… "
"Also, last time I asked your teacher about it. The teacher said that your speaking and listening skills are not good, and suggested that I change schools for you, Xiaoming, let's work harder and put more effort into our studies. Don't look at the next door. Cen plays with Master Cen every day, and he can talk to foreigners without going to elementary school... "
Aunt Zhang babbled, she didn't notice the change in Yue Ming's expression at all.
"And Miss Yoyo, although Miss Yoyo doesn't seem to be a fast learner, but she speaks English like a little foreigner. Last time I saw her watching that foreign cartoon, she didn't need subtitles..."
The light in Yueming's eyes completely dimmed.
"Do you think I can do it as long as I work hard?" The beautiful little boy said blankly, "Yoyo's father can talk to her in English at home since childhood, and Yoyo's mother will hire her a foreigner as a teacher. What do I have? ?”
As soon as the words fell, not only Aunt Zhang, but even Yueming himself was stunned.
Looking at his mother's hurt expression, he couldn't believe that the words just came out of his mouth.
… It was not his intention.
He knew that his mother was very hard. Before she arrived at Gu's house, she had to work two jobs by herself. After arriving at Gu's house, her family situation improved a bit, but the working hours were too long. In order to go home, she had to work at the intersection late at night Wait an hour or two for a taxi.
He knows all this.
But sometimes he would rather not know.
If you don't know, you can justly blame her for not giving yourself better conditions when your mother blames him for not working hard.
If you don't know, you can blame your parents when others treat you unfairly.
Instead of being like now, I can't bear my mother's strictness, and I can't bear these pressures alone.
"...Xiaoming..."
Yueming gritted his teeth and hurriedly ran out of the room.
He knew that he had said something wrong, but he was really sad, just for a while, he didn't want to be an obedient and sensible child, pretending to comfort his mother well, telling her that he would work hard, next time he would will do better.
His footsteps stopped outside Yoyo's room door.
He hasn't seen Yoyo much in the past few days. After dinner, she seems to have some secrets. As soon as she puts down her job, she secretly hides in the house.
The door was not closed tightly, and through the crack of the door under the warm yellow light, Yue Ming could vaguely see someone else was there.
There seemed to be the voices of Gu Miaomiao and Shen Jichuan.
And Cen Sui's voice.
Even the big monster named Yong Ze next door was there.
Yoyo: "... sticky! I can! I'm so smart!"
Gu Miaomiao: "Let me put it down, I have to stick it again after you stick it!"
Yoyo: "... brother, sister is fierce to me."
Shen Jichuan: "You'd better let it go, I might not be able to bear it if you make trouble again."
YoYo:"… "
Yueming couldn't see what they were doing, but thought they were probably very happy.
"… YoYo?"
He mustered up his courage and knocked on the door.
"I, I can..."
Not long after his voice sounded, Yue Ming found that the room was suddenly quiet.
His hand trying to push the door froze.
"Wait, wait a minute!"
Yoyo ran out of the house in a hurry.
The little girl in a bunny-print pajamas has loose hair, and the soft hair looks like some kind of animal fluff.
She was so anxious that she didn't even put on her shoes, and ran out barefoot, closing the door behind her.
"You, what's the matter with you?"
Yoyo swallowed nervously.
She won't lie, but now they are preparing the decoration for the birthday party, if Yueming sees it, it won't be a surprise.
Yueming's intuition is very keen.
He sensed that Yoyo didn't want him to go in.
"... nothing important."
Yueming tried his best not to look forward to it, pretending to ask casually:
"What are you playing? Can I...can I take a look?"
Yoyo subconsciously opened her arms to protect the door behind her.
"That... you... you can't go in..."
The three-year-old girl didn't know how to use euphemisms yet, she looked anxious, she only knew that brother Yueming couldn't see the surprise they were preparing, but she ignored Yueming's mood.
And on the surface, Yueming didn't see anything unusual.
"I see." His tone sounded relaxed, and he even smiled softly, "It's okay, I'm just asking casually, I haven't finished my homework yet, I'll go back and do my homework first."
Youyou stared blankly at Yueming's back in a hurry, feeling inexplicably, her heart, which was excited and looking forward to it just now, was suddenly not so happy.
As for Yueming, who turned his back and ran away, his eyes were instantly covered in mist almost at the moment when Yoyo couldn't see him.
He sprinted back to his little room and slammed his head into the soft pillow.
The pillow was immediately moistened.
… Fool!
His mother had clearly warned him before, so why did he still have illusions and unilaterally regard the other party as his friend like an idiot
He clearly knows that no one is willing to be friends with him, he is not lively, cheerful, and generous enough, and he is more interesting than him, has a better family background, and is more suitable to be friends with Yoyo.
Feeling extremely sad, Yueming felt that the self who tried so hard to become friends with Yoyo before was a fool without self-knowledge.
... He will not do such useless work again.
Yue Ming, who hid under the blanket and cried a lot, thought, it doesn't matter if you don't have friends, a person can have his own world, and he can become whoever he wants to be.
There is nothing wrong with being alone.
He doesn't want friends, and from now on, he doesn't need any more.
In the dark and lightless room, the sobbing little boy curled up like a small animal curled up because of injury.
However, when Yue Ming was tired from crying and was about to fall asleep in a daze, he was suddenly awakened by a slight movement.
If it was normal, he would be sleeping soundly at this time, but tonight he was unable to fall asleep because of sadness, and because he remembered the flower by the window during the day, so when the sound came, his first reaction was Just turned over and sat up, pushed open the half of the small window, and then—
Under the moonlight, the ignorant little lamb stood outside his window, like some elf who came out of a fairy tale.
It held a rose flower in its mouth, as if the flower was in its mouth.
Yue Ming stared blankly at it with eyes swollen from crying.
—
"... Did I make brother Yueming angry?"
Yoyo lying on the bed muttered.
Everyone went back to their homes, and Gu Miaomiao, who was the last one to coax Yoyo to sleep, heard her recite "I seem to make brother Yueming sad" a hundred times before going to bed, and finally ran out of patience, and gritted her teeth to tuck her in. The quilt corner said:
"That's right, you made him sad. Your elder brother Yueming is whimpering in bed right now. If you don't sleep, I'll punch you too."
YoYo:"… "
The witty Yoyo shrank back under the quilt, and said obediently:
"Good night, sister."
"install."
Gu Miaomiao turned off the light with a blank expression.
The room fell silent.
After Gu Miaomiao closed the door and left, Yoyo, who was pretending to be asleep, quietly opened one eye, and after confirming that her sister had really left, she sighed softly and rolled left and right in the bed twice .
... Why is he unhappy
Three-year-old Yoyo is full of question marks.
However, her sorrow didn't last long. The next morning, after seeing Yueming get up early and go to cram school as usual, Yoyo happily started decorating with her brothers and sisters.
Decorations made of colored paper to hang on the wall.
Collage of birthday slogans on glass.
There are also the balloons I bought. After blowing up for a long time, I found the pump under my sister's eyes.
After everything was ready, Yue Ming, who knew nothing about it, finally returned to Gu's house.
When he passed the door, he glanced at Mianmian grazing in the yard.
Mianmian still had the usual ignorant and ignorant appearance, she was quiet and she didn't look like a monster at all.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have thought that it was the one that sent flowers outside his window for several days in a row.
... silly.
Yue Ming pursed his lips and quickened his pace to walk into the room.
He won't be fooled.
He doesn't need friends anymore, not human friends, not even monster friends, he can be alone, he can be happy alone...
However, the moment the door was pushed in—
boom!
What greeted him was colored paper fireworks that exploded suddenly.
"Brother Yueming, happy birthday!"
Not only Yoyo, but Gu Miaomiao and Shen Jichuan, Cen Sui and Yongze, as well as his mother and Yu Lan, all gathered together to watch him.
Behind them are the decorations that they have seen in Yoyo's room and made by themselves.
… So, he was not allowed in because of this
Yue Ming froze on the spot in a daze.
At this moment, everyone's eyes fell on him.
It seemed that he was no longer an unnoticed weed in the corner, and finally there was light shining through the haze to illuminate the corner.
The little girl who hugged him had a sweet voice, and said in his ear:
"Sorry, let's make up."
Behind him, Mianmian bleated softly.
