More than an hour later, Feng Xunyu and Murong Sixuan boarded the plane heading to HZ City.
During the flight, Feng Xunyu detailed the events leading up to their journey for Sixuan.
"My father's name is Feng Leng, a native of HZ City. My mother, Lin Wei, is three years younger than my dad and also grew up in HZ City. They got married about twenty years ago, and shortly after their wedding, my mom became pregnant with twins. In 1990, the twins were born—my sister and I. My name is Feng Xunyu, and my sister's name is Feng Guyu.
"I'm quite outgoing and love to chat, often joking with those around me, which makes my family and friends enjoy spending time with me. However, my sister Feng Guyu is completely different. She dislikes interacting with others and rarely smiles—in my memory, she has only smiled in front of me about ten times; she also doesn't like to talk and can go an entire month without saying a word to anyone! Because of her reclusive nature, people tend to avoid her, including our parents.
"I always feel that my sister lives in a separate world of her own, where she exists alone, and we cannot enter. We don't understand the things in her world, and she looks down on ours. She has no interest in socializing or allowing others to understand her."
"By the way, there's something interesting worth mentioning: I never wear black clothing. Even gray, dark blue, or brown shades are rarely seen on me. I prefer bright colors like white, red, and yellow because I believe vibrant colors bring joy to myself and can also uplift those around me.
"However, my sister Feng Guyu is entirely different; she only wears black clothes. Since she became aware of her surroundings, I've never seen her wear anything else. It makes me feel like her mood is always gloomy and sorrowful.
"Now let me tell you about my brother: when my sister and I were just over five years old, my mother became pregnant again. Ten months later, a little boy was born—he is our brother named Feng Yinxuan. Yin Xuan is not only smart but also very considerate; everyone likes him a lot. Although Guyu's personality is somewhat reclusive, which leaves something to be desired, our family of five manages to live harmoniously together and enjoy a happy life. Until two years ago, when everything changed overnight..."
Feng Xunyu had been narrating smoothly when suddenly his tone shifted to one filled with sadness and pain.
Sixuan said nothing but slightly tilted her head back to gaze at the airplane's ceiling, lost in thought.
Feng Xunyu took a sip of hot water and took a deep breath to steady his emotions before continuing his story.
Two years ago, in 2007, Yin Xuan was in elementary school. At that time, his school required each student to pay a tuition fee of three hundred yuan. One morning, his mother handed him the three hundred yuan and asked him to take it back to school. However, when he came home after school that afternoon, Yin Xuan told his mother that he had accidentally lost the money. Being an honest child who never lied, no one doubted him when he said the money was gone.
That evening, however, his mother discovered a brand new Bumblebee Robot in Yin Xuan's backpack. Yin Xuan had always loved this robot and had recently been pestering his mother to buy it for him. When she saw the price tag of over two hundred eighty yuan, she thought it was too expensive and decided against buying it, which left Yin Xuan feeling down.
Now that she found the robot in his backpack, it was clear to her that the three hundred yuan for the tuition fee had not been lost; instead, Yin Xuan had used it to buy the robot.
Yin Xuan had bought a nearly three hundred yuan robot without his parents' permission, which made his mother extremely angry. However, what truly hurt her was that Yin Xuan had learned to lie!
That night, his mother exploded with rage and even hit Yin Xuan hard.
In my memory, our parents had never hit Yin Xuan because he had always been such a well-behaved child.
That night, after being struck by his mother, Yin Xuan cried intensely. Yet no matter what, he refused to admit that he had used the tuition fee to buy the robot. Both my father and I urged him to confess, explaining that every child makes mistakes but owning up to them and correcting them is what makes one a good child. However, Yin Xuan remained stubborn. As we pressed him further, he shouted defiantly, "I didn't buy the robot! You don't believe me!"
Seeing that Yin Xuan still wouldn't admit his mistake filled his mother with both heartache and disappointment. In a moment of impulse, she grabbed a feather duster and struck at his legs. Unexpectedly, pushed beyond his limits, Yin Xuan retaliated.
He jumped up to dodge the duster and then forcefully shoved his mother away. I clearly remember the look on Yin Xuan's face at that moment: his features were completely contorted, eyes wide open, teeth gritted as he let out a tremendous roar like a wild beast—ferocious and terrifying.
I could hardly believe that kind-hearted Yin Xuan, who wouldn’t even harm an ant, could display such an expression! It was truly horrifying!
His mother seemed to be taken aback by this fierce look on Yin Xuan's face; her legs buckled beneath her as she fell onto the ground. Staring wide-eyed with her mouth slightly agape, she was utterly stunned.
Perhaps she had never imagined that her obedient son could transform into such a fierce and menacing creature in an instant!
As Feng Xunyu spoke, Murong Sixuan furrowed his brows slightly, his gaze focused intently on her. Occasionally, he nodded gently, encouraging her to continue.
At a crucial moment, his fingers unconsciously tapped lightly on the armrest, as if he were sorting through the complex relationships and events in his mind.
When Feng Xunyu became emotionally agitated, a hint of concern flickered in his eyes, yet he refrained from interrupting her, quietly playing the role of a listener.
