It was already evening when the little bird came home.

Saying "I'm back", I changed my shoes at the entrance. After walking out of two rooms, I turned back and straightened my shoes. I turned around and was about to walk to the living room when I bumped into my parents who were coming out of the living room.

.

"I'm back." Xiao Feiniao said with a flat mouth.

Mom smiled and said, "Welcome back."

Father turned his head away as if he was embarrassed and said, "Just come back."

——

A criminal investigation TV series was playing on the TV in the living room. The handsome but lazy police officer pointed out the murderer and solved the major case calmly and casually. The accompanying supporting actors gave heartfelt applause.

Xiao Feiniao sat on the sofa and didn't speak for a long time. His father sat on the other side. Although his eyes fell on the TV, he glanced this way from time to time, looking very concerned but hesitant about whether to speak.

"Shixiao-chan is back?"

Mother poured a cup of hot water and handed it to her, then sat down beside her naturally.

Xiao Feiniao responded dully, holding the water glass in his hand to warm his slightly cold fingers.

The criminals on TV tell the motives for killing, the protagonist stands on the moral high ground and criticizes arbitrarily, and the criminal finally changes his mind and regrets his mistakes.

Such noisy background sound made Xiao Feiniao a little irritated.

He drank half a glass of water in one breath, placed the cup on the coffee table, stretched heavily, and fell sideways on his mother's lap.

Mother Bird and Father Bird looked at each other, then looked down at the coquettish Bird, put their hands on her head and stroked her back and forth, smiling lovingly, "Have you had a good time these days?"

"Um……"

Mother Bird smiled and was about to speak when Father Bird opposite him coughed softly.

Mother Bird frowned helplessly, obviously noticing the signal from the other side.

"Feiniao," she said, "there are some things that you should understand for yourself. Your father and I don't want to say more."

The little bird was silent. She curled up with her knees like a baby.

"I have seen the relationship between Xiang Wu Geng and Na Jiang, so I haven't been able to express my love for them. Because I don't want to see them in trouble."

"Didn't Shixiao-chan also say that she likes you?"

"Well...I'm very happy. You can even say that you want to date me, even if...just..."

Even if it is a lie, I still feel happy. She thought.

"But, I don't want to be ranked second," Xiao Feiniao said, "Jinwu Geng must still like Na-chan now."

"Why is Bird so sure?" Bird's mother asked.

"I'm sure of it. After all, I watched them come all the way, so I know it best."

"She must be worried about me," Xiao Feiniao muttered. "Those nosy people must be worried about me, so they stay with me like this..."

Mother Bird didn't think so. During these three days of living together, she did feel something different from Shi Xiao. Especially when she said she wanted to go back.

"There is nothing wrong with liking someone, but don't get too deep into it. Asuka is too simple. When you like others, you often forget yourself."

"I don't understand what's so good about that kind of brat."

Asuka's father's complaint immediately aroused his mother's glare. He avoided looking angrily, picked up the remote control, and changed several channels.

"You are a short guy at midnight. His self-esteem always explodes in some inexplicable places. He is childish in countless ways. He ignores the people around him when he is reading. He is not patient enough when teaching me arithmetic problems." Xiao Feiniao recalled silently and paused for a moment.

, said softly, "I can even name a hundred bad things about her. But, I just like her. I don't understand why this is the case."

Feiniao, you know it very well in your heart, so you have been avoiding it subconsciously.

"It's just that we've been together for too long," Bird Dad stared at the TV and said casually, "Every day we come back, five is longer and five is shorter... Doesn't the group have a second generation student? Show your love for that kid more.

Isn't it nice to give some favors to the juniors? The juniors are very nice, respecting the seniors and being polite."

Mother Bird remembered that her husband's company had recently hired several new people. It seemed that he got along well with the new people.

"...Does mom think so too?" Little Feiniao turned around and looked at her mother with big eyes, asking for her opinion.

"I don't object to Xiao Feiniao liking others, but if you keep staring at one person, the world will become narrow. Making more new friends is not a bad thing."

"Maybe it's really like this..." I saw the little flying bird murmuring to itself thoughtfully.

Mom started to worry without permission.

Asuka, please don't be like the way you got along with Shixiao-chan, where you misunderstand without permission and then be rejected. She prayed in her heart.

——

After saying goodbye to Feiniao, Shixiao got on the subway back.

The familiar ride, the subway announcement, and when entering the dark tunnel, my face was reflected in the window on the opposite side. I got off at the fixed platform. After leaving the subway station, I walked for more than ten minutes to a familiar residential area.

On the long slope, every step takes a lot of effort.

It was dusk now, and the setting sun was setting behind me, making people's shadows thin and long.

Shuxiao just lowered his head and stepped on his own shadow, walking forward step by step.

At this time, she already had a vague premonition in her heart.

A premonition that all this is about to end. Or, you should add "the one who passed away the night" before this sentence.

As she approached the end of the ramp, she stopped.

She hasn't said goodbye to Xiao Feiniao yet, and the weight of these words may be far heavier than Xiao Feiniao's imagination. In the future, they may really never see each other again. But this is also for Shi Xiao.

In the past three days, Xiao Feiniao called Shi Xiao's name countless times, but in the end, she still couldn't call her own name. Perhaps Shi Xiao could continue to argue, what Feiniao said was 'Goodbye, stinky Wu Geng'

', I am seeing my sister again, what does it have to do with my death? But now, she doesn't even have the strength to argue.

She suddenly felt a little unwilling.

But soon, she quickly hid this little emotion in a corner. She couldn't cause any more trouble to her sister, she thought.

In fact, it has caused huge trouble.

He had just appeared that night and vowed to help his sister solve all her problems. But now, he is almost becoming her sister's problem.

She raised her head and stared at the dim sky dyed by the setting sun. She stared in silence for a long time.

Finally, Shi Xiao slowly closed her eyes, recalling everything she had spent with Xiao Feiniao in the past three days. At the same time, she prayed in her heart that her sister would be gentler to Xiao Feiniao when she woke up.

"..."

…

"..."

However, after more than ten minutes, Shixiao's calves felt a little sore after standing there, and there was no personality exchange as expected. Shixiao guessed that she must be insincere, so she frowned and called her sister's name in her heart.

"Fifth watch?"

Yes, that's right, it's the fifth watch, but you have to add your sister. Shixiao has always been very polite.

"Watch," the voice sounded much closer, "how long are you going to stand here?"

Only then did Shi Xiao realize that this was not the voice in her head but in her ears.

She opened her eyes in surprise and turned around, just in time to see Aumi standing next to her wearing a brown jacket, a backpack, and a baseball cap.

"What are you doing standing here stupidly, Wu Geng." Aishi asked calmly.

ah.

Shu Xiao came back to her senses and looked at her hands. She clenched her fists and opened them, controlling them freely. She touched her face and groped back and forth on her body.

Why hasn't my sister come out yet? It was obviously the right time just now. It's like this in the plot of the movie!

Ayoshiki on the side didn't feel surprised by Shi Xiao's inexplicable behavior. She pushed up the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose and spoke calmly:

"It's okay if you want to touch yourself at the fifth watch, but it's better to do it at home alone. Don't idols care about the reputation?"

It was only after midnight that she noticed that she was still standing on the street, and the nearby neighbors had already begun to point and point. Her face suddenly turned red.
