The first time Lin Wei heard Chen Man say she was envious, the rain outside the window was weaving into a dense network along the anti-theft net. She clutched the towel tightly in the wheelchair and listened to the sweet voice of the girl with braids: Auntie, even if Lin Wei can't walk, you will still carry Lin Wei to school every day, and you will give her prepared nutritious meals at noon... When I was two years old, I lived with my grandma in an adobe house, and no one would hold her when rats gnawed on the bed boards at night.
As expected, her mother's eyes turned red and she pulled Chen Man into her arms. But Lin Wei saw that the corner of the girl's mouth hidden behind the adult was showing a moist smile - that smile was very familiar to her, it was the smile that Chen Man would show every time he was bullied.
From that day on, Chen Man's understanding grew like moss: when she was making medicine for her mother, she accidentally knocked over Lin Wei's painkillers, when she was beating her mother's back, she accidentally mentioned that Lin Wei lost his temper and dropped the photo frame, and even wrote in the composition that I have two mothers, one is far away and the other is in a dream. While the teacher was reading aloud at the parent-teacher meeting, her mother's hand was gently patting Chen Man's back, while Lin Wei's wheelchair was squeezed into the darkest corner of the classroom.
