Sweet Sorrow

Jim was devouring the rice. When he saw his sister was flipping through her schoolbag, he got flustered.

There weren't many books in his bloated schoolbag, which contained his dirty clothes and a pair of worn sneakers that he had taken off in the construction site.

"Sister, what are you doing?"

Thrown the bowl away, Jim rushed to grab his schoolbag, but he was one step behind, the broken sneakers rolling out and pinched in Nicole's hands.

"What's this?" Nicole asked with a sullen face.

"They got dirty when I was playing basketball. I ... I'll wash it later. " Jim avoided eye contact with her, daring not look straight into her eyes.

Nicole also took out the dirty clothes and pushed it towards Jim's chest. "What about these? Were they also dirtied by playing basketball?"

Jim scratched his head and stammered, "this... I I accidentally stained it. Is there anything wrong... "

Nicole was so angry that the blue veins stood out on her forehead.

"Don't you tell me the truth? How long do you want to deceive me that you haven't gone to school? The head teacher has come to our house. "

Jim glanced at Nicole quickly and then lowered his head when he saw there was disappointment in Nicole's eyes.

"Tell me, where have you been since you didn't go to school these days?"

Actually, looking at the dirty clothes and shoes in her brother's schoolbag, Nicole had a guess. But she couldn't guess it alone. She had to hear it from Jim.

Jim lowered his head, without saying a word.

"Say something!" Nicole gave him a hard push.

"Sis, I'm not a child anymore. I know what I'm doing. Just leave me alone!" Grabbing his schoolbag from Nicole's hand, Jim got into his room and closed the door.

Nicole rushed over and stopped when her hand was about to touch the door.

If she and Jim quarreled at this time, their mother in the next room would be awakened. If their mother woke up, they couldn't sleep well tonight.
