Chapter 42 - 42
Chapter 42 - 42
-Wabiwabi, do you think this new suit I bought looks good?Tomorrow I will wear it to the parent meeting.
-waste?That's because you are still young and don't understand, parents will be more knowledgeable.
- You said how could I understand the parent-teacher associations without going to school for a few days?Hehe, if you want to make fun of me, at least you have to wait for you to be admitted to college, then college students are eligible to make fun of me.
-Hey, Wabiwabi, you have to study hard, the only way out is reading.What should I report, what should I buy?One-on-one tutoring is expensive, but I heard it works the best, and we're not short of money.Don't look at the fact that Dad has no money now, that's why we are poor and happy.
- Peace and happiness?Yes, yes, that's what it means anyway.You can't save money for study, you can spend it, and if you don't have enough, you can take it.The big deal is that daddy will go back to his old job and take some big orders from his mother. A capable man is not afraid of being poor... A person's head is worth hundreds of thousands. .
"Father...don't!!"
Lin Wa woke up from the nightmare, opened his eyes, the room was still shrouded in darkness.The models in front of him are lined up on the wall, and the firearms that he once dreamed of are all become guards day after day.
The basement has no natural light, no clock or cell phone, it is like a chaotic space, blurring day and night.The time can only be vaguely judged from Zhou Xian's view of the food delivery - of course, Lin Yu can't remember exactly how long he stayed here.All the facilities in the room are very high-end, the venue can be said to be spacious and comfortable, and delicious food is delivered to the door every day.The portrait is like a rose in a glass cover, quietly maintained in a delicate and beautiful state, but you can no longer feel the breath of freedom in the wind and rain.
During the day, the only entertainment is reading.There is also a study in the basement, which looks like Zhou Xianwang's collection of books.The life stripped of the Internet was not as boring as Lin Wa's original imagination. For the first time in his life, he calmed down to read and draw new knowledge and inspiration from the book.
After wearing handcuffs for a long time, two red marks were left on his wrists, and Lin Wu gradually got used to doing most things in handcuffs.Today, he visited the study as usual, and set his sights on the Russian novel section in the lower left corner. A thin booklet that looked very old was Dostoyevsky's Notes from Underground.
After Lin Wa took out the book, he found another book bound in cowhide, which was placed horizontally behind several books.
Lin Wu moved the book that was pressed in front of him, and took out the unnamed book. The cover was worn and peeled in many places, and the binding was also falling apart. The yellowed paper seemed to be scattered at any time, but in fact it would not. It was glued together with glue.
Open the title page, and draw a sketch of a woman with a carbon pen. The daughter in the portrait has curly hair, and the eyes are specially dotted with two stars with correction fluid.Only this page, sealed with plastic wrap, still looks brand new.The inscription on the portrait is a beautiful handwriting: "For the three-year-old Xianwang, please open it in the future——Mom."
The taboo feeling of knowing the secret made Lin Wu's fingers tremble, but he clamored in his heart to open this booklet.So he immediately took it to the table, wiped the table, and then spread it out carefully.
The second page that was opened was covered with small colorful handprints.Thinking of which child the small handprint should come from, Lin Wa laughed out loud, and lovingly traced the small pawprint on the paper with his fingers over and over again.
On the third page, there is a drawing of a small dinosaur, and there are a few words, which can barely be seen to say "painting", and then a big cross is made at the back.It seems that I hate learning to draw.The date of signing was added in the beautiful handwriting, Lin Yu calculated that Zhou Xianwang was five years old at that time.
The fourth page, the fifth page, the sixth page... As if Lin Wa couldn't get enough of it, he carefully studied Xiao Xianwang's paintings as an art study.
Then, it came to page No.12.
Draw a bed and a woman with long hair.There is a line of words written below: Mom doesn't love me anymore.Ah Wang is not Ah Yi's child, I belong to my mother.
It was as if some needle pricked Lin Wu's heart.Fenglin's later depression became more and more complicated by hysteria, and he was full of suspicions that Zhou Xianwang was the illegitimate child of his father and his partner.
Lin Wa had heard children talking about their childhood before.
In fact, his father could no longer bear his wife's sensitivity and suspicion. He had already divorced Fenglin when he was 3 years old, but because of her illness, he couldn't give up taking care of her.The father and his now wife had a daughter.However, Feng Lin forgot the fact that the two had divorced, and crazily hated her husband and the so-called "little three" and even angered her own son.
Page No.14, with angels, clouds and a long-haired fairy in a skirt.
Ah Wang was seven years old that year.
Lin Wu turned down the page, as if looking back, watching a child grow up stumbling.Seeing that Zhou Xianwang couldn't write fewer and fewer characters, his paintings became better and better, and his handwriting became more and more elegant.
No. 20, six pages, draws a blurred figure in profile, with a heroic profile and several scars.
"My sister and I are back. It was a little brother who saved us."
No.20 seven pages.Many elemental equations that Lin Wabi couldn't understand.
"The day I came home, they said they loved me. So today I mustered up the courage. Tell my dad and aunt that I will study chemistry and make all kinds of perfumes. Why are they so angry? No matter, I am I like it, even if others don't allow me to like it, I still want to like it secretly. The smell of this world is so interesting."
"I want to reproduce his taste."
27, 28, 29... The next few pages are all the same person, not very concrete appearance, the boy is running, drawing, reading, drawing in winter, in spring...
……
"Am I suffering from a heart disease like my mother? Sometimes... I will become a person I don't know. It's like having a big dream. When I wake up, I don't think it's me in the dream."
Page, the boy had a concrete face for the first time.
Draw him, holding a black cat.
"I seem to have found him. He smells so good."
On one page, there is a picture of Lin Wa and Zhou Xianwang taking their first selfie at the beach.She put it on with pink love stickers with a girlish heart. Lin Yu guessed that it was a small sticker from his sister.
"I think my brother likes me too."
"But I fell ill in front of him. Is a person like me unworthy?"
two pages.
"I feel like I'm getting better soon. Come on."
……
On five pages, a mournful crying face was drawn.
"He actually has a fiancé. But I think I'm better than his fiancé."
"It's okay, I liked him first. I'm also very happy to like someone like Senior Brother. So I can't blame him."
No.60 page, Zhou Yanxi and her big cake are drawn.
"I wish Xixi the happier she grows up."
Page No.60 is a profile sketch of Lin Wubi who fell asleep while watching a play.
Turn to the end, the book is used up.
There is only one symbol of infinity on that page.
Infinity, infinity.
"Brother Lin is very good, very good, it's him."
"——The End"
Lin Wa laughed, his nose sore, and cried again at the same time.What a fool to write "theEnd" in his little notebook.
After flipping through it several times, Lin Wu finally calmed down and put his notebook back to its original place.
I don't know how long the time has passed, but Lin Wu felt very hungry, so he guessed that it was past the time for Zhou Xianwang to deliver dinner.
In order to wait for him, Lin Wa stayed up all the time. He read a few books, and finally found out that "Hamlet" and read it again.
When you are confused, there is no need to ask others for advice.There may be some methods in the book. Lin Yu firmly believes in this. A good book guides you to think and speculate, rather than putting ready-made answers in front of you.
There was only one night light turned on in the room, which stretched his shadow long and shone on the wall, like a majestic giant.When Lin Wa moved, the giant also moved.
"To be, or to be destroyed, this is a question. To endure the devastation of fate silently, or to stand up against the sufferings of the world and sweep them away..."
The desire to perform is a special talent. He easily indulges in other people's stories, moves and resonates with them.
Where there is excitement, hunger also turns into nothingness, as if the soul of the vengeful prince of Denmark is attached to the shadow in front of him, and the shadow lies in his dialogue——
"Who would these fardels bear, To sweat under a weary life, But that the dread of something after death- The undiscover'd country, from whose bourn No traveler returns- puzzles us The will that makes us rather endure the present torment than fly to the pain we don't know?"
"Thus conscience does make cowards of us all, And thus the native hue of resolution Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought, And enterprises of great pith and moment With this regard their currents turn awry And lose sight of." The meaning of action!"[1]
"Lin Wa!"
Someone rushed up, his only audience, and hugged him from behind.
Reeks of alcohol.
The performance came to an abrupt end, and the shadow rested silently.
Why does he drink so much alcohol?
"happy Birthday to me."
Zhou Xianwang was dressed in a suit, as if he had just returned from some kind of banquet.
Lin Wu dragged him to the sofa. Since it was inconvenient to take care of a drunk child while wearing handcuffs, he found a prepared wire and took off the handcuffs in less than 5 minutes.
Seeing the surprised look in the drunk child's eyes, Lin Wa coaxed him: "It's okay, I'll handcuff you later."
Then he leaned over and pondered.
"Actually, you've already handcuffed me."
The author has something to say: [1] "Hamlet" Act III Scene I
These chapters are relatively heavy. Before that, I have been laying the groundwork to say that Xianwang’s spirit is actually very unstable, and then Wabiwabi’s special growth background made his personality bias towards the chaotic and evil side at first.It is the necessary thinking for teenagers to grow up, true love has no smooth path~
