Li Xuan and Li Muchi were sitting on the sofa.

There was beef noodles on the table in front of the sofa. Li Muxi ate her late-night snack quietly. She was afraid of burning it, so she chewed it bit by bit. She didn't eat dinner, but she still took her time and was very focused when eating.

"Mu Xi, did you come here by car from Yancheng alone?" Xu Li was very happy to see Li Mu Xi, "Why didn't you inform your aunt in advance and she will take you to eat delicious food."

"Don't bother, I can just eat whatever you want." Li Muxi pursed her lips lightly.

"I heard your dad said you skipped school, what happened?" Xu Li stopped smiling.

"No..." Li Muchi lowered her head and whispered, "It's nothing serious."

Xu Li said seriously: "If you have something to say, if you sneak away from school without saying a word or asking for leave from the teacher, the teacher and family will be very worried. Moreover, I heard that many schools will dissuade those who skip school without permission."

Student, you must consider the consequences of doing this."

Li Muxi lowered his head.

Xu Li sighed: "It's okay. You have to go back to school tomorrow, do you know?"

"Yeah." Li Muchi nodded.

The two were chatting, but Li Xuan couldn't get in the conversation and watched Li Muchi eating noodles slowly. His sister became less talkative as she grew older and didn't talk much. Li Xuan thought it was probably because of his influence.

He had nothing to say, and the living room became quiet again.

Xu Li looked at Li Xuan and said strangely:

"Xiaoxuan, Mu Xi is here, why don't you say a word to her?"

…

…

Li Muxi finished eating.

"After eating, go take a bath." Xu Li said with a smile.

Li Muxi nodded lightly and turned his eyes to Li Xuan. Is his brother angry? Li Xuan rested his chin on his hand and didn't even look at her.

Li Xuan wanted to ignore her, but he couldn't remain indifferent. He thought of his father's worried tone and her sudden disappearance. Running all the way to this city, alone, without worrying about meeting bad people? What was going on in her little head?

What?

He felt that he had to fulfill his brother's responsibilities.

Li Xuan finally spoke: "Why don't you call dad or me?"

Li Muxi pursed her lips and said softly: "I don't have a mobile phone."

Li Xuan frowned and said fiercely: "Is the reason for not having a mobile phone? Playing truant for no reason? Why did you come all the way here?"

Li Muxi looked into Li Xuan's eyes, and after a while, whispered: "I'm sorry."

"Is that all it takes to apologize?"

"I don't dare anymore."

"Your nonchalant look doesn't sound like an apology."

"Brother...you never scolded me before..."

Li Xuan was stunned. Hearing Li Muxi talk about the past, he still felt a little guilty. Before he could say anything, Li Muxi turned around and left.

The brother and sister didn't speak anymore.

It's late at night, almost midnight.

There was still class tomorrow, but Li Xuan couldn't sleep. He got up to go to the bathroom and suddenly heard a strange sound on the balcony. Out of curiosity, he walked over to take a look.

The night wind is very cool, the moon is particularly round today, and the moonlight is beautiful.

Li Muchi stood on the balcony, looking at the distant lights under the moonlight, her soft black hair flowing back.

Li Xuan squinted and realized that he couldn't understand this sister. Today's children are all precocious, so it's natural that they can't understand. He said, "Mu Xi, aren't you going to sleep?"

Li Muchi looked back at him, her eyes were red, as if she was hurt by the wind.

Li Xuan was surprised.

Li Muxi looked at Li Xuan quietly. Time passed by minute by second. She couldn't help but look down at her watch and mouthed, "Brother, happy birthday."

Li Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly, with a look of astonishment on his face.

Li Muxi took two steps, took out an apple from his pocket, put it in Li Xuan's hand, and said in a low voice with a tense expression: "Brother, you forgot, we celebrate birthdays according to the lunar calendar. In the past, your birthday was always mine.

I spent time with you...don't be angry, I will go back tomorrow morning."

Li Xuan blinked, and even he had forgotten his birthday. Her voice was very small, with a waxy nasal sound, and she was very close. Li Xuan suddenly realized that she had traveled thousands of miles to come to him just to say birthday to him.

hapiness?

Li Xuan's mood suddenly became indescribable, and he looked at her speechlessly.

She just forced a smile, turned around and left, like a fleeting meteor in the night sky.

…

…

In the early morning, the morning mist filled the air, and the coolness spread wantonly in the city.

Li Muxi got up very early, as soon as it was dawn. Xu Li found a private car last night to take her back to the county town. She didn't say anything.

Li Xuan went downstairs to see her off and said as he walked, "Would you like to buy some water? If you're thirsty on the way, you can drink it."

Li Muxi shook her head slightly. She raised her head and looked at the clouds blankly. She ate breakfast in silence and walked on the tree-lined avenue.

Li Xuan said: "Mu Xi, you have grown up and become more and more beautiful."

Li Muchi paused and did not nod.

Li Xuan sighed in his heart, put his hands in his pockets, feeling a little irritated, and watched her walk slowly.

The journey was completed in just a few minutes.

Li Xuan stood behind her and looked at her from a distance.

Li Muxi came to the car, breathing evenly, and looked at the car in a daze. The driver urged her to get in, and she obeyed and opened the door.

The moment she opened the car door, she turned her head to look at Li Xuan, and the wind blew her black hair flying.

Her eyes were dull, with a hint of the starry sky, and had a hazy beauty in the morning light. It was not until the focus was focused on Li Xuan that the light in her eyes gradually became clear and the haziness disappeared.

Seeing Li Xuan like this, she showed a smile: "Brother, bye."

This last glance left a deep impression on Li Xuan's memory.

Li Muxi got into the car and the car drove away.

Li Xuan came back to his senses and couldn't help but look at the sky. The sky was blue, clean and flawless, and there was still no change from the past, except that the clouds were no longer the same. He could feel the change in his mood, and a touch of melancholy rose in his heart.

When people grow up, they will definitely have to go far away. They cannot be tired of being together every day like they were when they were children. They have to get used to being naive and ignorant. What's more, Li Xuan doesn't know who he is now.

But I still remember that in my memory, Mu Xi hid behind him and hugged him and said, brother, I like you.

Re-examining the relationship involving Yuan, Li Xuan is also considering whether he should pay more attention to his sister.

Her smile must have been forced, but it was still as refreshing as before, giving him the illusion that his sister was very happy.

I don't know what to do.

…

…

Studying must continue. When Li Xuan arrived at school, he stopped thinking about it and concentrated on studying number theory.

Every morning, students arrive at the classroom very early, which is in stark contrast to Class 12. Everyone reads classes early and is basically catching up on homework in other subjects. This way, they work far harder than ordinary students, just to win the grand prize in the competition.

Take the shortcut to enter key universities.

The existence of Li Xuan makes these students a little breathless. It is not terrible to fall behind Li Xuan, but it is very terrible to not even know how far behind Li Xuan is.

In any case, Li Xuan's status as the number one person in mathematics in the first year of high school cannot be shaken in a short time. Li Xuan is too far ahead of other students. The most obvious thing is that Li Xuan changes books every day, which even makes people worried.

Are there not enough math books in the library for Li Xuan to read?

In the mathematics competition, the competition books are complicated and difficult to understand, and self-study is scary, but Li Xuan seems to have become accustomed to it without any obstacles.

What is particularly worth mentioning is that although Li Xuan is much better than other students, he does not show any pride, but is humble. When others ask questions, Li Xuan will patiently answer them, so the students are very convinced of Li Xuan.
