Morning.

Chen Yiyi opened her eyes and stared at the old ceiling stickers quietly, not in a hurry to get up.

After a few seconds, she remembered that this was a rental apartment, not the storage room of her former home, and she would not hear the sound of a family of three having a hearty breakfast outside.

In her dreams, she still dreams sometimes that she is sleeping in the same storage room, doing nothing but sleeping on a mattress.

It's a boring dream.

She sat up from her bed, the heat that had been stored in the quilt all night.

Winter is coming, the room temperature is getting colder and lower, there is no heating in the apartment building, she used to have it in her home, but she doesn't miss it at all.

After she finished washing, she put on her school uniform, which was washed by Aunt Wenhua with a washing machine, because the tap water was very cold in winter, and Aunt Wenhua felt sorry for her hands.

After a while, there was a knocking sound on the wall.

When she went out, Jiang Chanji was already standing at the door.

"Why don't you help me with my bow and quiver when I go to and from school?" he asked, "and if you hold it, others will not be able to see it, and I will always be watched by others like an idiot." ”

His screaming bone bow has a strange shape, and because there are several long, curved bat phalanges extending from the upper and lower ends, and there is not even a properly sized bow sleeve, it is very attractive to passers-by when walking on the road.

But she doesn't think it's looking at the eyes of idiots, everyone is more curious and envious, but for some reason, "Chan Ji" seems to be very low-key and doesn't want to be paid too much attention, so she misunderstands the sight of others.

"Okay. She nodded.

He hesitated, "Really, but you'd better not touch the bow directly, lest anything go wrong......

"It doesn't matter. She said, and held out her hand to him.

He took the bow and quiver from his back and carried her behind him.

"How's that? does something feel wrong?" he asked, apprehensively.

She shook her head, "No." ”

"That's good. He breathed a sigh of relief, "Let's go." ”

On the way to school, Jiang Chanji and Zixuan talked about school one by one, and she followed them one step behind.

The bone bow and quiver were on her body, and passers-by could not see it.

The bow arm was close to her slightly undulating chest, the position was slightly off, at first she didn't feel anything, and she felt uncomfortable walking and walking, so she casually adjusted the angle of the bow, and now it was fine.

When adjusting the position of the bone arch, her hand inevitably touched the bow.

Jiang Chanji told her that this bone bow seemed to have evil energy, and other people like Aunt Wenhua or the landlady's aunt said that this bow had yin qi or evil qi according to their intuition, and she only remembered these words after touching this bow, or it was a warning.

To her surprise, however, she didn't feel anything special when she touched the bow, except that the bow itself felt comfortable.

It seems to vary from person to person.

Strange to say, she had never played with a bow and arrow before, and this was the first time she had touched a bow, but she had a strange sense of immediacy in her heart, as if she had held a bow a long time ago, but no matter how she remembered, she couldn't remember when she had crossed paths with bows.

It will definitely not be possible for my younger brother to grow up, and that time back then...... She was too young to be exposed to such a potentially hurtful device by her parents.

She lowered her head, her gaze fell on the quiver, and she drew an arrow from it.

The arrow feathers were replaced by Jiang Chanji, and I heard that she got the feathers from the landlady's aunt, but she didn't help much, because Jiang Chanji's hands were more dexterous than her, and he did meticulous work such as pasting feathers.

When the arrow is held in the hand, it also seems to have a certain sense of immediacy, which is very similar to the feeling of touching the bow.

At this time, Jiang Chanji and Zixuan, who were walking in front, stopped at the same time, very suddenly, and she followed closely, if it wasn't for the body instinctively jumping to the side, it was likely to bump into them.

Got to school?

She looked around and it was true that it was almost time to get to school, but why didn't they leave?

Jiang Chanji and Zixuan turned their heads at the same time, although the latter couldn't see her, but the faces of the former were also hesitant and embarrassed.

What's wrong?

What happened?

They exchanged glances with each other, as if they didn't know how to speak, and even a girl as smart and sharp as Zixuan couldn't speak.

She looked past them and in the direction of the school gate.

There stood a middle-aged woman, her mother, apparently coming for her, apparently waiting for her.

Chen Yiyi's mother was waiting near the school gate, and she didn't see them for the time being, because there were girls wearing the same school uniforms coming and going, and only she, a middle-aged woman, was very conspicuous.

I see.

They saw her mother, so they stopped, they knew that her mother couldn't see her, and if they turned around and left, they could avoid her meeting with her mother, but they didn't know if it was appropriate to do so, because it was her mother after all, so they were hesitating, they didn't know whether to encourage her to see her, or to dissuade her not to go, so as not to arouse her sadness.

"Yiyi, if you don't want to see us, let's take a detour, or call Teacher Lu and ask her to drive out to pick us up. Jiang Chanji said.

Although her mother couldn't see her, she could definitely recognize Jiang Chanji and Zixuan, after all, their features were quite distinct and easy to identify. If they had kept going, they would have been stopped by her mother.

At this time, it was Chen Yiyi who could see it.

"Do you take a detour every day? or ask the teacher to drive you every day?" she said simply.

Indeed, will they be able to hide for a while, for the next two years or so?

If her mother came here every day to block them, would they stay away from them?

Don't make a mistake, it's not them who are wrong, why do they seem to be the weak-hearted party?

Of course, she knew that they were thinking about her, and wanted to give her more time to buffer, considering her mood, but it was no longer necessary.

"Let's go. ”

She inserted the arrow back into the quiver and strode forward.

Jiang Chanji and Zixuan glanced at each other, and their moods were very complicated.

Their impression of her mother was extremely bad, why did they come to Chen Yiyi now? Because she studied in an aristocratic school and felt that she was useful, she had the cheekiness to beg for forgiveness?

But on the other hand, from their standpoint, it is really inconvenient to persuade her to break off with her parents, after all, blood is thicker than water.

Knowing that what happened next would definitely be embarrassing, and maybe it would attract onlookers from other classmates, they could only move forward with their heads and not let Chen Yiyi face this matter alone.
