Chapter 98: Lightness of Heart

Chen Yiyi usually walks in an orderly manner, even if she sits in the car of several strange men and follows them all the way to an unfamiliar place, even when she walks behind the monster and raises the knife, the fluctuation of her heartbeat frequency is very small.

But today her steps are a little flustered, her heartbeat is sometimes fast and slow, and she almost hit a passerby when she turns a corner, which is very different from her usual.

She panicked because her friends were coming to the house on Saturday and she didn't want them to see it...... Those three people.

It doesn't matter, those three people weren't there on Saturday afternoon, it shouldn't matter.

She kept comforting herself in her heart.

Usually, it takes about twenty or thirty minutes to walk from separation to home, but since she has the Light Boots, she can jump regardless of the gaze of others, walk from the wall, walk from the roof, jump over the ditch, ignore the traffic lights, jump directly from the bottom of the overpass to the bridge, take all kinds of shortcuts, find closer shortcuts every day, and refresh the time record for returning home almost every day.

Sometimes you don't want to walk, so you can jump into the body of the truck and take a ride.

For her, the world has changed from flat to three-dimensional.

The source of all this is the light shoes on her feet, although it is not very outstanding, but it is more important than the rank, and the compatibility with the user is more important, it is like a fish in water on her feet.

Its previous owner, Ouyang Caiyue, can dance in it if she wants, but Ouyang Caiyue has to take into account the sight of the people around her, and she can't be as free as Chen Yiyi, as if she was in a no-man's land.

The world has a new look in Chen Yiyi's eyes.

A bird that had just come out of its shell and had not yet grown its fur fell under the tree because she was too eager to explore the world, she bent down to hold it in the palm of her hand, looked up at the nest on the branch, jumped up, floated lightly on the branch, and put it back in the nest.

A kitten was so curious that she climbed to the eaves of a high place and didn't dare to come down, so she jumped to a higher place with the help of the air-conditioning reservation on a nearby high-rise building, then landed on the eaves and jumped back to the ground with it in her arms.

A child was whining and crying, and the border herd next to him was barking, and he played frisbee with the puppy, and as a result, he threw the frisbee on the roof. The frisbee whirled and glided, and was caught by the border herd jumping up and grabbing it. The child stopped crying and looked up at the roof, where there was no one.

Bian Mu's gaze followed an unseen figure, and it didn't actually see it, but the residual scent on the frisbee drew a distant trail in its olfactory map.

Chen Yiyi didn't want to be nosy, she was just bored and delayed going home.

The Light Boots are great, but it's not a good thing for her to get home early.

Her happiest moment of the day is the first half of the school road, where everyone talks and laughs, eats and drinks, and although she often plays the role of a bystander, even watching is interesting enough...... In the second half, the world quickly faded in color.

"Let's play a little bit more and then go home, shall we?"

"Shall I walk with you a little longer?"

"Anyway, I can jump around and take shortcuts, and I don't have to rush home. ”

She thought about these words in her heart, but for some reason, she never had the courage to say them every time she parted, so after each separation, she was overwhelmed by frustration and disappointment in herself.

No matter how hard she tried, she returned to the residential building where her "home" was.

Take the elevator upstairs.

Open the door, enter the house, close the door.

She saw men's children's shoes littered at the door, very expensive brand-name sneakers, children grow up quickly, and it is not practical to buy such expensive shoes.

My younger brother has returned, but my parents have not returned, and they may be on their way home from work, or they may be working overtime temporarily.

She changed into slippers and planned to return to the only small part of the room that belonged to her, the storage room, then close the door to isolate everything outside, study her schoolwork, go to bed early, and look forward to meeting her friends tomorrow.

Walking through the living room and living room, she didn't see her younger brother who usually sat in front of the TV and played games as soon as she got home, and she couldn't help but wonder a little in her heart, could it be that he went back to his own room to study? Unlikely, if he would take the initiative to study, it wouldn't be the tail of the crane in the school.

Of course, she may also be the tail of the crane of Momiji Academy now, so she is not qualified to say anything.

She walked to the door of her own storage room, stunned.

The door to the storage room was open with a slit in it, and a yellow light came out of it.

Since there are no external windows in the storage room, you must turn on the lights when you enter.

She gently pushed the door open.

Her younger brother, who was tall and fat compared to her peers, was rummaging through the locker, making a mess of her already small things.

It may be that his stomach is too big to bend over, and he rummaged for a while and panted like a cow.

There is no bed in the storage room, and a mattress is laid on the floor as a bed, so when you need to study, you can stand the mattress against the wall and unfold the folding table and chairs.

The few clothes she had hung on a simple hanger were all ripped off and thrown to the floor, and the underwear in the suitcase was turned out and thrown everywhere, and she even saw him pick up a pair of her underwear at random and wipe his sweat, after all, the storage room was not ventilated, and he was fat and afraid of heat.

He didn't notice that she was back, and took a few breaths, resting enough to continue rummaging.

"What are you looking for?" she asked, standing in the doorway, coldly.

He was startled by the sudden sound behind him, and the flesh on the back of his neck trembled, but it was not because he was a thief.

"Where's the money?"

He didn't even ask "you're back" or "what did you do", let alone apologize, and asked directly.

"What money?" she asked rhetorically.

"Mom and Dad said that most of the New Year's money they gave you in the past, you saved it and didn't spend it, anyway, it's useless for you to take it, give me the money. He stretched out his fat palm, as if asking for something that belonged to him.

She was silent.

In this family, she has lost her parents who once loved her, lost her young brother who she once cared for, lost her room and bed, and now even the New Year's money she has saved for so many years will be taken away?

She retreated step by step, and it would have been nothing to take another step back this time, anyway, as he said, it was useless for her to take the money.

Just give him the wallet that she had brought with her today, and he would leave, and then she silently packed her clothes as if nothing had happened...... Wouldn't it be nice to be at ease?

But her only friends were coming on Saturday afternoon, and she didn't want to entertain them empty-handed.

So she can't back down this time.

"I don't have any money. She shook her head.

"You fart!" he scolded brutally.

"I really don't have any money. She insisted, even if it was a lie?

He looked back at the messy storage room, and was suspicious that he had almost turned the big fart upside down, and that he had taken out any clothes with pockets, and indeed he hadn't found half a dime.

But his instinctive instinct told him that the boy might spend the money cleanly, and the girl would always have some money left over.

"I don't believe it, let me search!"

As he spoke, he was going to come and search her body.

Is he still a child?

Is she still a child?

She knew he didn't have a bottom, but she didn't know he didn't have a bottom to this extent.

The body moved before her thoughts, and before she could even react, a switchblade unsheathed in the air, the tip of which pressed against his chest.

This time he was really frightened, his face was as white as paper, and beads of sweat the size of beans instantly poured out, "You...... You dare to stab me with a knife......? I'm going to tell Mom, I'm going to make Dad beat you!"

She was also frightened by herself, and she could not have pointed a knife at her family no matter what...... Or is it that now she doesn't think of him as family in her heart?

She doesn't panic when she faces monsters, she doesn't panic when she faces wicked people, but now she panics in her heart, but fortunately, she usually has no expression, even if she panics, others can't see it.

"Get out of my room, don't come back in. She said with a strong composure.

It's an unfair confrontation, she wins, only the storage room that belongs to her, and if she loses, the whole house will have no place for her.

His will to win was not so firm, he only knew that his sister, who had always been weak and bulliful, suddenly changed like crazy, and he didn't know where to find a sharp knife.

He had been the undisputed overlord of the house, but now he sensed that the serfs seemed to have the intention of revolting.

In fact, he relied on the doting of his parents to act as a prestige in his own home, which is commonly known as "Nest Heng", and he was forced in front of the teachers and classmates at school, and even the girls in the school dared to bully him.

Facing the shiny tip of the knife, his urine was about to leak out.

"Don't ...... Don't prick me, I warn you......"

He rubbed his back against the wall, scantiously slamming out of the locker, the tip of the knife following him all the way to his chest.

Finally rubbing to the door, he ran away with a lot of pee, ran back to his room, slammed the door shut, and locked it.

She heard him on the phone calling, probably to his parents, and she cried and complained to her parents on the phone.

It is conceivable that when the parents return home, this family will definitely set off an unprecedented storm.

She looked down at the switchblade, the bright blade reflecting her deep pupils and expressionless face.

Her mood returned to calm, calmer than ever.

At that moment, the knife seemed to cut something intangible.

Maybe...... It's the already thin bond between her and this family.

This bond has always bound her, they may have long ceased to regard her as family, and she has never forgotten the parents who once loved her and the sweet and pitiful brother who was so cute and pitiful when she was young.

A knife to cut off the ties.

The Boots of Light can only make her body light, not her mind, which Knife can.

She no longer has to be confined to the ground, she can fly freely into the sky.

Uninhibited, relaxed.
