Xiao Mengyun glanced at Xiao Mengxue and chuckled twice.
Xiao Mengxue glanced at him, laughed awkwardly, and quickly lowered her head to drink porridge silently.
Can her brother’s marriage not be related to her?
This made her very uneasy.
In the evening, Xiao Mengxue took out the warm milk from the microwave, drank it down, rubbed her belly that had recently gained some weight, picked up Xiao Mengyun who was sitting on the sofa admiring calligraphy and painting, and walked into the house.
"Axue, are you ready to go to bed?"
Xiao Mengyun asked, putting down the painting in his hand.
"Yes, it's already half past nine."
Xiao Mengxue pointed to the clock beside her.
"What do you want to hear today?"
Xiao Mengyun asked in a doting tone.
During the three months that Xiao Mengxue lived in the Xiao family, she had insomnia almost every night.
She could only fall asleep by listening to Xiao Mengyun telling her stories.
Xiao Mengyun also liked to tell him stories.
When she listened to the stories, she could see stars in her eyes.
They were the most beautiful eyes he had ever seen.
"Well" Xiao Mengxue nodded her chin in thought, "How about we tell the story of our town today?"
"Okay."
Xiao Mengyun followed her into the room.
Xiao Mengxue sat on the bed.
Xiao Mengyun held her shoulders and said, "Lie down first."
Xiao Mengxue obediently got into the quilt and lay on the inside of the small bed.
Xiao Mengyun lay half on the outside and tucked her in.
Xiao Mengyun's deep voice slowly came out, "Once upon a time, there lived a huge whale in the middle of the ocean.
It needed to surface, spray water, and breathe every day, but it also had to eat a lot of fish and shrimp every day to feed it.
One day, it suddenly felt that its huge existence took up too much space and posed a great threat to the survival of other partners in the sea.
It was very entangled and painful, so it began to refuse to eat.
Refusing to breathe, it finally sank on a beach near the coast, became integrated with the coast, and became the town we have today.
The land here is very fertile."
As Xiao Mengyun was talking, he caught a glimpse of Xiao Mengxue's slowly closing eyes, his voice gradually became softer, he slowly got up, put the quilt on her again, turned off the bright bedside lamp, and retreated. late at night.
The seawater pours down from the sky, into the mouth and nose, and into the heart and lungs.
She saw a whale swimming by in the distance, with a man sitting on its back.
She wanted to wave to them but couldn't find the strength, wanted to shout to them but couldn't make a sound.
I can only let the surging tide submerge me, just like this, sinking deeper and deeper.
Until the humans and fish were too small to be seen, until the back fell into a rugged sandy land and fell into a forest of spikes.
She woke up suddenly, and in the darkness, there was only a pair of clear eyes of Xiao Mengxue.
She found herself lying upright on the soft and comfortable bed, staring straight at the ceiling, and two lines of clear tears rolled across her ears. whale and a man One saved her from fire and water, the other pushed her down the cliff
She would wake up from various nightmares every day, and then keep her eyes open until dawn.
Early the next morning, Xiao Mengxue still pretended to be radiant and went to sketch at the beach as usual.
It was still the gurgling water and the vast sky.
Xiao Mengyun also went out early in the morning to collect paintings from various places.
When he came back, he asked her to go home for dinner.
The two talked and laughed all the way, and they had endless things to say every day
