C15 (1/2)

The next morning, when Cheng Hanlong got up, his eyes, which had not shed tears in a long time, couldn't adapt to the swelling. When he looked at himself in the mirror, his mind immediately recalled the scene where he chatted with his mother in the middle of the night.

Aunt Cheng had already started working. Cheng Hanlong's heart tightened as he rushed to Aunt Cheng's room. There was no trace of packing. Only then did he feel relieved. It seemed that his mother had no intention of leaving immediately. He raised his head to look at the clock. There was still some time before he would go to school. Then he ran back to his bed and lay down. His head hurt as if he had been punched several times. Perhaps it was because he hadn't slept well yesterday.

Cheng Cheng, who was at the side, seemed to be waking up. He kept rolling over and yawning. A moment later, his eyes opened with difficulty. He looked around and saw Cheng Hanlong staring blankly at the ceiling.

”Brother, what are you looking at?”

Cheng Cheng crawled beside Cheng Hanlong and looked up along Cheng Hanlong's gaze. Cheng Hanlong didn't notice what Cheng Hanlong said, so he didn't answer.

Cheng Cheng smiled as he laid on top of Cheng Cheng and twisted his buttons. Normally, Cheng Cheng would have already been knocked off his body or tossed around by Cheng Cheng, but today, he just let him lie there motionlessly.

After playing for a while, Cheng Cheng immediately looked at Cheng Hanlong's face to see if he was angry, but he found that Cheng Hanlong didn't have any expression at all. It was just that his eyes were bulging, as if he had gained another piece of flesh.

Cheng Cheng knew that Little Keeper was swollen, so he quickly went to Little Keeper and used all his strength to hit him. As he fought, he asked, ”Did you sing behind my back again?”

Unexpectedly, it hit Little Keeper's head again. Little Keeper immediately started singing again. Cheng Cheng covered his mouth with all his might with a sad face, but the result was that he didn't care. He bitterly put Little Keeper down and went to Aunt Cheng's bedroom cabinet to find a medicine to relieve the swelling. Then he ran to the bed and rubbed Cheng Hanlong's face. His small hands were covered with a bit of ointment, and he rubbed Cheng Hanlong's eyelids. He rubbed them slowly, muttering under his breath as he rubbed them.

”I won't use any strength. Slowly, it will stop hurting after a while!”

Cheng Hanlong closed his eyes and felt that these words were very familiar to him. Perhaps his mother also said this when he was young!

Cheng Cheng's small hands were very soft and small, Cheng Hanlong had already grabbed them all. When he realized that his palms were already sweating, he opened his eyes and saw Cheng Cheng looking at him with his mouth closed.

”Brother, are you unhappy?” Cheng Cheng put his face on Cheng Hanlong's arm, his small face rubbing against the soft hair on Cheng Hanlong's arm.

Cheng Hanlong felt a bit itchy and asked weakly: ”You can tell when I'm happy and when I'm not?”

”Sure! ”Because you won't lecture me unless you're unhappy.”

Cheng Cheng's tone was as if he was stating a fact without a single trace of grievance. It was as if being trained and not being trained were just the difference between a brother's happiness and unhappiness, and to himself, there was no difference.

Cheng Hanlong's heart felt as if it was struck by something. He never paid attention to how he usually expressed his emotions, nor did he deliberately pay attention to how he treated Cheng Cheng. Everything happened as he thought. He didn't expect to hear Cheng Cheng say such words today.

He sat up, his head still buzzing. He turned to Cheng Cheng and seriously asked:

”If I'm happy every day, will you leave me?” Cheng Cheng shook his head.

Cheng Hanlong asked again: ”What if I'm unhappy every day? Will you leave me? ” Cheng Cheng still shook his head.

Cheng Hanlong's mood improved a lot. Although he knew that Cheng Cheng was still young and didn't understand what Cheng Cheng meant, but he was sure that this child wouldn't shake him off like his former relatives.
