In 2008, a hurricane brewing in North America crossed the ocean and swept through most of China. The chain reaction was like a domino, knocking down countless companies.
That year, there were more shabby settlements in Shangjing.
Chu Xu is one of the phoenixes in trouble.
She moved into a basement full of people from Beijing, and calmly accepted her fate as a sparrow. Then, she met another sparrow - the woman who lived opposite Chu Xu. That little sparrow had a calm temperament, spoke softly, and liked reading, cleaning, and... Feeding.
The woman's name is Shi Qing.
"Don't just keep eating, you even want to eat people."
"You farted."
When a friend made a joke, Chu Xu struck hard.
How could it be? Chu Xu thought to herself that she wanted to recognize Shi Qing as her sister, who was her half-sister.
Chu Xu teased her and coaxed her, took her to night school, taught her how to type and use a computer, also led her with red strings, and worried about her marriage, but in the end Chu Xu felt that no one was worthy of her.
Jealousy was so heartbreaking that he gritted his teeth with restraint, trying to pinch out a bloody hole in his palm.
"Has anyone seen you like that?"
A smug smile appeared on Chu Xu's face, but hot tears welled up from his eyes. His cold hands touched the back of the woman's neck inch by inch, stained by the warmth on her neck.
"Only I've seen it, only me."
The hot breath next to the ear made the body of the person in front of him tremble uncontrollably. The woman raised her head, her bright red lipstick was applied completely, she chuckled, and calmly took out a tissue from her pocket.
"Why are you anxious? Did I say it wasn't you?"
After wiping, the paper towel was tampered with into a ball. Shi Qing stood on tiptoe, stepped forward and pinched Chu Xu's left and right ears. She spoke softly and with full patience as if talking to a child: "Okay, let's go home, okay?"
Chu Xu was as frustrated as a rubber ball, blushing and muttering softly.
"Okay."
Two little sparrows can huddle up in a cramped nest to keep each other warm, and they can also watch the sunrise together on a branch facing the wind.
This is a story of joining a group to keep warm, growing in love over time, feeding and counter-feeding.
This book was conceived on a certain day in the second half of 2022, and I started writing the text on June 27, 2023
