Since The Red Moon Appeared

number eight...

Even though the person standing on the podium was completely different from what he remembered and had undergone great changes, Lu Xin still recognized his identity from his appearance and the feeling he gave him.

I remember people who like to put hair gel on their hair since they were very young, people who cried when they were beaten, and people who always like to complain to teachers and guards but no one cares.

Number eight who is about the same age as him.

Although on the way back, Lu Xin kept guessing whether this mysterious visitor was a classmate from an orphanage.

But when I actually saw him, I still felt a little surprised.

The orphanage classmate that I had been trying to find before, actually just appeared like this?

In addition, it is different from the feeling when I saw No. 7 and No. 2 before.

After such a fast-paced journey, when he suddenly saw No. 8 in Qinggang and Red Moon Primary School, Lu Xin also felt an indescribable sense of intimacy in his heart, but for some reason, in the intimacy, there was always There is a warning sign...

For a moment, Lu Xin didn't know what to say, looking at No. 8 who was standing on the podium and giving a serious lecture.

...

...

"Lu Xin, you... you're back..."

In the midst of surprise and doubt, a trembling and slightly surprised voice suddenly sounded from the side.

Lu Xin turned around and saw Teacher Xiaolu.

She had just come down the specially made stairs, and she seemed to be in a hurry, slightly out of breath.

At this moment, he was looking at Lu Xin in surprise and joy, like a drowning person grabbing at a straw, eager and relaxed, but embarrassed to meet him because of a little bit of guilt.

Beside her, stood the old security guard of the elementary school, with a panicked expression on his face.

Lu Xin was silent for a moment, then glanced at the younger sister beside her, and motioned her to stare at No. 8 in the classroom.

Then he turned around gently, walked towards Teacher Xiaolu and the old security guard, and walked with them to the other side of the hall.

Then he glanced at the classroom and said, "What's going on?"

"You mean Xu Jing?"

Teacher Xiaolu saw Lu Xin asking her so calmly, so she hurriedly replied: "I, I don't know either..."

"He, he suddenly appeared like this..."

"He said that he happened to pass by Qinggang on a business trip, and he remembered the place where he lived when he was a child, so he came to have a look..."

"..."

Saying so, a strand of hair on Teacher Xiaolu's forehead was wet with sweat, and he looked up at Lu Xin, his eyes seemed a little anxious and a little scared: "He, after he came, he behaved very normally. , but I clearly remember..."

Having said this, a flash of fear flashed in his eyes, but he thought of something and didn't continue.

"Remember he was killed by me before?"

Lu Xin followed her words and said, "I also remember that I tore open his chest."

"..."

Teacher Xiaolu fell silent for a while.

She couldn't tell if it was fear, worry, or guilt in her eyes.

Lu Xin lowered her head, and glanced at her eyes from the corner of her eye.

He doesn't need to borrow his mother's ability, he can also understand the complex emotions in Mr. Xiaolu's eyes.

Fear, because I suddenly heard myself speak so frankly about the past.

Worry is because I am afraid that I will lose control of my emotions because of these things and make some unpredictable actions.

If I feel guilty...

... Lu Xin is a little hard to understand, Mr. Xiaolu, why does he feel so guilty towards himself?

...

"You... are you okay?"

When Lu Xin was thinking about this question, Teacher Xiaolu plucked up his courage and said:

"Last time, the last time you talked about the past, you left..."

"I really regretted it at the time. I know that the way I behaved at the time hurt you."

"Actually, actually I don't want to...but, but I couldn't hold back..."

"Later, I went to the place where you lived to find you, but there was no one at home..."

"..."

Having said that, she couldn't continue, but raised her head and looked at Lu Xin full of shame.

Lu Xin's heart suddenly became enlightened.

It turned out that the guilt in Teacher Xiaolu's eyes meant this...

Is she worried that the fear reaction she faced with her last time stimulated herself?

"I was on a business trip."

Lu Xin shook his head and explained softly: "It happened that there was a job sent from above, so I went to Black Marsh City, and then came back to stay for a while, but because of other things, I was also busy, and I didn't stay for a long time. God, I went to the south again..."

Hearing that he mentioned "South", Mr. Xiaolu had no other reaction.

The old security guard suddenly raised his head and glanced at Lu Xin, but soon, he came to his senses and lowered his head again.

"correct……"

As he said that, Lu Xin suddenly smiled, and said to Teacher Xiaolu: "I have met many people from the past when I went out these few times."

"I met little Seventeen in the central city, and later I met number seven, and number two. I didn't expect that number eight would go back to Qinggang directly. That's pretty good. Look, it's so small In the place, there are already four of us before..."

"Four?"

Teacher Xiaolu was listening quietly, but suddenly felt that something was wrong, and looked up at Lu Xin suddenly.

Lu Xin nodded subconsciously.

Suddenly he realized that Mr. Xiaolu couldn't see his sister.

He didn't want to scare Teacher Xiaolu, so he fell silent, thinking of saying something else.

"So……"

Seeing Lu Xin's appearance, Teacher Xiaolu didn't ask any more questions. She was silent for a while, and she said softly, "You have been back before..."

"Then you...why didn't you come to have a look when you came back?"

"..."

Lu Xin was taken aback for a moment, suddenly not knowing how to answer.

The last time I came back from Black Marsh City, I actually stayed for a long time.

He said he was busy, but he might not have a few days to spare.

But he really never had the intention to visit the orphanage, never even thought about it.

Even coming back this time, if he didn't know that someone came to the Red Moon Orphanage, he probably...

In the past, he liked to come here very much.

But since he chatted with Mr. Xiaolu about the previous things that time, he suddenly lost a lot of desire to come here.

Even, want to hide.

Teacher Xiaolu looked at Lu Xin's silent expression, and seemed to suddenly understand.

She tried her best to squeeze a smile on her face, and said, "It's okay, you are busy with work, I understand..."

"Because, I also want to see what's wrong with me..."

Lu Xin looked at Mr. Xiaolu, explained without hiding anything, pointed to his head and smiled, "I told you last time that there seems to be something wrong with me, but I assure you , I will try my best to heal myself..."

After a pause, he put down his hand, looked at Teacher Xiaolu calmly, and said, "I feel much better now."

"real."

"..."

Lu Xin spoke very frankly, with a sincere smile on his face.

But Teacher Xiaolu listened to his words, but suddenly lowered his head lightly, as if very sad.

The old security guard on the other side, his eyes were obviously a lot more confused, and his eyes just swept over Lu Xin very carefully.

Didn't you already tell them that you are much better now?

Lu Xin felt the sadness in Teacher Xiaolu's heart, and the fear that he tried to hide, but still couldn't hide.

He was a little hard to understand.

Moreover, there was a slight sense of frustration in my heart, and my smile was not so full.

"You're not much better, you're better..."

After a while, Teacher Xiaolu raised his head and smiled at Lu Xin.

Lu Xin could see her slightly moist eyes and a happy smile on her face.

You can even keenly perceive how she is trying hard to control every muscle on her face, so that she can express a deceptive expression of being happy and confident. magic show...

"Before, you didn't know how worried I was, and I was a little... a little scared."

Teacher Xiaolu smiled and said: "But now, it's fine if you come back, then Xu Jing..."

"Xu Jing..."

Lu Xin didn't notice until the second time Teacher Xiaolu mentioned Xu Jing's name.

Is this number eight's name?

"It's fine."

Thinking in his heart, Lu Xin smiled at Teacher Xiaolu, and said, "I'm back, and nothing will happen again."

Teacher Xiaolu seemed to be slightly taken aback, and then nodded vigorously.

...

...

"Ding Lingling..."

The electronic bell rang. It was the bell for the end of get out of class that Lu Xin had personally selected. It was crisp and loud.

With a bang, there was the sound of tables and chairs being pulled and kicked from the other side of the classroom, and then a group of children rushed out of the classroom.

When many people rushed out, they raised their arms and yelled loudly. When they saw Lu Xin and Mr. Xiaolu, they immediately suppressed the shouting voice, and slowed down their steps. At the door, he suddenly accelerated and rushed out.

"Oh, I'm dazed during class, but after class I'm refreshed..."

Behind the children, the voice of No. 8 sounded, as if a little helpless: "The basics are not good enough, and you haven't studied hard enough, so how can you get into junior high school? Don't you think that when you leave the orphanage, you will line up one by one to go to the factory to work? ?”

"Don't rush to play, first do the homework I assigned..."

"..."

Hearing his voice, several children who had stopped to talk to Lu Xin and Teacher Xiaolu also ran away.

"well……"

Lu Xin and the others looked up, and saw No. 8 wearing a white shirt, suit pants, and black lace-up shoes.

He was wearing a suit jacket under his arm, and his hair was neatly combed.

The image is elegant and handsome, and it seems to have a melancholy temperament like that of a star in an old movie.

Shaking his head helplessly, he walked out of the classroom and stretched out his hand to Lu Xin from a distance, smiling all over his face.

"No. 9, your name is Lu Xin now, right?"

He smiled elegantly and sincerely, and shook hands with Lu Xin: "It's been a long time since I saw you..."
