Liu Kaiyan asked, "Isn't it very pitiful?"
But in Su Tian's ears, he clearly asked: "Is [he] very pitiful?"
[He] is the protagonist of the cartoon, the dog named Kaka in the circus, and Liu Kaiyan who lives in reality and is domesticated by his parents with a whip.
Maybe it's because his skin is too pale, Mr. Liu has a pair of extremely black eyes, when he looks at people with concentration and a little indifference, people feel that they will be sucked in by his eyes.
Su Tian looked at him for a while, but didn't answer, and asked instead, "Why do you say it's pitiful?"
"Every time I escaped, I was caught back, and every time I was caught, I was beaten severely. Why can't I just stay in the circus? There is food and drink in the circus, and there is no need to be exposed to the wind and the sun... but I want to escape , isn’t it stupid and pathetic?”
Just like himself.
Su Tian shook his head: "I don't think he is pitiful."
She ignored the word "stupid", she knew that the point of this sentence was not "stupid", but "poor".
"I think Kaka is very powerful, very strong, very great..."
When Su Tian spoke, he was always unhurried, with a slight smile on his face, looking into the other person's eyes, his gaze was gentle like a pair of soft little hands, gently soothing you.
No matter who talks to her, they will calm down unconsciously, believing that every word she says comes from the heart without any falsehood.
Liu Kaiyan, naturally cannot be exempt from convention.
She said: "... I admire him so much."
When the last word fell, Liu Kaiyan's heart thumped, and the resentment and injustice that had been entwined in his heart since he was sensible were suddenly wiped away. It turns out that Kaka is... admirable
It turns out that he is not so... pitiful
He was speechless for a while, and looked away in embarrassment, for fear that Su Tian would notice his abnormality.
Fortunately, Su Tian suddenly thought of a whim, flipped through the book and asked, "Is there no ending? Kaka must have escaped in the end, right?"
No, Kaka is dead.
But Liu Kaiyan didn't answer truthfully, and nodded along with her words, "Yes, I escaped."
Su Tian smiled, "Then why did you tear up the ending?"
Liu Kaiyan lowered his head, "The drawing is not good..."
"May I add the ending for you?" Su Tian suddenly proposed with great interest, looking at Liu Kaiyan with bright eyes.
By the time he realized it, he had already nodded.
But there was no pen in hand, Liu Kaiyan was about to go back and draw again, when Su Tian looked up and walked towards two girls sitting not far away, the two girls were studying back to back, with stationery beside them bag.
When he saw her passing by, he smiled and said something to one of the girls. The girl smiled and picked up the stationery bag for her to choose. Su Tian took out a ballpoint pen from it.
She returned with a smile, showed off the pen she borrowed to him, and exclaimed with a narcissistic look: "Oh, I'm so cute."
Liu Kaiyan couldn't help laughing, she has always been gentle and calm, it is rare to see such a young girl.
The golden red light of the setting sun sprinkled on her face from the side, warm, clean and soft...
"I'm not good at drawing, so don't laugh at me." Su Tian vaccinated him first.
Liu Kaiyan: "Okay, I won't laugh at you."
Su Tian felt relieved, chewed his nails and thought for a while before starting to write.
Kaka made sufficient preparations, stole the key and released all the animals in the circus while the owner of the circus was asleep.
Those animals, whether they were lions or tigers, or kittens and puppies, all obeyed Kaka's orders and rushed out of the circus with him, out of the reinforced concrete human city, and rushed into the free green forest.
But the moment he stepped into the forest, Kaka stopped.
He does not belong to the circus, nor does he belong to the virgin forest, he is a delicate pet dog.
Su Tian didn't continue, and stopped here abruptly.
She returned the notebook to Liu Kaiyan and smiled: "I don't know how to draw next, so I leave it to you."
Where Kaka should go, only Liu Kaiyan can decide for himself, even if Su Tian has a mission, he cannot decide his life for him.
Liu Kaiyan picked up the notebook, looked at the stick figure of a three-year-old child on it, and couldn't help laughing.
He closed the notebook and said: "We should go back, if it's later, we should remember to be late."
Su Tian thought about it like a dream, exclaimed, jumped up like a rabbit, and hurriedly returned the pen.
"Let's go quickly, I was already fined for cleaning for a week, and the class teacher can fine me for one semester if I am late."
Liu Kaiyan smiled and followed her towards the teaching building. Su Tian like this looks much cuter than her grown-up counterpart.
After school in the evening, Su Tian and Wang Haoxue went home together. Along the way, Wang Haoxue pestered her to ask what was going on with her and Mr. Liu.
Su Tian told her that it was nothing, but Wang Haoxue didn't believe a word, and told her worriedly that Liu Kaiyan's crazy mother must not know, otherwise Su Tian and Aunt He would definitely suffer.
Even after seeing Su Tian's fierce fighting power, Wang Haoxue still subconsciously felt that she would be bullied. Su Tian looked a whole circle smaller than her, and her arms were thicker than her calves.
In the distance, Liu Kaiyan ignored the vibrating cell phone in his pocket, and quietly followed behind the two of them. He didn't walk in the opposite direction until they entered the building.
He Qingwan took out a stack of hundred-yuan bills and was counting the money with her eyes closed.
After Su Tian went to school, she asked others for advice on how to distinguish fake money, and an experienced old man told her to touch more real money.
There is also a banknote detector, and there must be one in the store, but in case there are too many people, every time a piece of money is collected, it will be very slow to check the banknote, so she still has to learn to distinguish the real from the fake.
While counting, there was a knock at the door, He Qingwan quickly put the money away and put it in her bag.
Su Tian put on his slippers and came in, asking, "Mom, is there any more dinner?"
The seventeen-year-old girl was just growing up, and Su Tian was often so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back after school at night.
He Qingwan came out and took her small schoolbag, "Yes, the seafood porridge and steamed eggs are still hot."
Huh? I finally don't have to eat ribs, happy!
Su Tian was happy in his heart, but he didn't say anything. He went to the kitchen silently and brought porridge and steamed eggs out.
After eating, she asked, "Mom, where did you put my mobile phone for me?"
He Qingwan: "It's in the bedside table in the bedroom, isn't your school not allowing you to bring it?"
Su Tian: "I'll take it secretly, otherwise it would be too inconvenient."
Su Tian found the phone, installed the battery and phone card, entered Mr. Liu's phone number, and sent him a text message.
[This is my mobile phone number, and I will keep it with me in the future. —Su Tian]
When receiving the news, Liu Kaiyan had already walked downstairs.
When he heard the text message, his heart moved, and he took out his mobile phone.
Lin Xiuping never texted him, and always called him.
He took out his mobile phone and saw that it was a text message from Su Tian. He read the line over and over again, replied with a good word, then silently clicked save, and entered the name: Tiantian.
He heard Wang Haoxue call her that.
When he arrived at the door, he put away his mobile phone, his smile disappeared, and he took out the key to open the door. Lin Xiuping stood at the door with a cold face, and his father was sitting in the living room, watching the news on TV.
"What did you do? You came back twenty-three minutes later than usual today." Lin Xiuping asked.
Liu Kaiyan lowered his head to change his shoes, and replied flatly, "I haven't finished writing a question, so I stayed in school for a while."
"Why didn't you answer the phone?"
"I don't want to take it."
With that said, he carried his things into his room.
From the beginning to the end, he didn't even look at his parents.
Seeing that he was going back to the house, Lin Xiuping held back his anger, and hastily added: "Don't lock the door!"
Liu Kaiyan silently closed the door without locking it.
At home, his room has no right to be locked, because locking means that he has a shameful place, and Lin Xiuping will make surprise checks on his room every day.
privacy? Oh, does he have such a thing
Sure enough, Lin Xiuping immediately followed him in, opened the book bag he brought back and checked that there were no prohibited items, and then told him to go to bed early.
Before going to bed, Liu Kaiyan set the alarm clock to vibrate at two o'clock in the morning. At night, he woke up, went out quietly, and took out the notebook that was pressed down by the stone from outside the corridor window.
He quietly took it back, turned on the phone, and with the faint light, he lay down on the bed, turned to the end, and continued to draw.
Kaka returned to the city, this is his cage and his concern.
He kept walking in the dark, kept walking...
Walking to the place where the sun rises, stretch out a pair of snow-white and warm hands.
There is a basketball underneath.
A week passed quickly, and Su Tian finally didn't have to be on duty.
At the end of August, even the summer vacation of elementary school is coming to an end.
It happened to be the weekend, Su Tian was helping He Qingwan in the store, and Xi Yun was lying on the dining table doing summer homework for other children.
Su Tian asked, "Why didn't Uncle Zhao open the door today?"
Uncle Zhao is very diligent, 365 days a year, only the New Year's Eve and the first day of the first month do not open the door, and he never closes the door no matter it is windy, rainy, cold or hot.
He Qingwan: "I don't know either, the door was still open yesterday."
Soon, they will know why.
That afternoon, Uncle Zhao came to post a recruitment notice, recruiting cashiers and tally clerks in toy stores.
It turned out that Uncle Zhao's wife accidentally slipped and broke his leg, and Uncle Zhao's children were all out of town, so he had to take care of him himself. However, if the store was not open for a day, he would lose a day's rent, so he could only temporarily hire someone to cover it.
It didn't take long for Su Tian to meet Uncle Zhao's newly recruited cashier. She was a very beautiful girl with famous tags all over her body.
