Chapter 4: Memories are taking root

"Xia He, it's here. Shao Jinnian's warm voice broke her thoughts, and she saw that he had gotten out of the car to help her open the car door.

"Thank you. Quickly hiding the discomfort in her heart, she politely and distanced, and stood in front of the "Moonlight City" when she got out of the car.

This is a slow shake bar that has just opened in Licheng, Xia He has never been in, I heard that the consumption is frighteningly high, and it is luxurious to the extreme.

And this kind of noisy place, she has never set foot in until she meets that person, but that is all for later.

The city of Li is divided into the east and west of the city, and is bounded by a meandering river in the middle. Therefore, the beauty of Licheng is not only the quaint and lively in the east of the city during the day, but also the various colors of neon in the west of the city at night.

If it is said that it is the young boys and girls who linger in the east of the city during the day, then the girls who never sleep are lonely poppies at night. Because of this, Licheng is known as the capital of small encounters.

From the flower street along the river in the east of the city with the temperament of a lady to the bar street in the west of the city like a fashionable girl, the atmosphere of crimson erosion is permeated at night.

This is Xia He's first time when he saw the night view of Licheng, although as a native of Licheng, he shouldn't say this about his hometown.

But if you look down on the whole Licheng from the Lishan Mountain around the city, you will find that the east of the city is not as prosperous and noisy as the west of the city, and the whole small city is divided into two worlds of black and white by the flower street along the river in the east of the city, half of which is brightly lit, neon flashing, and half of which is a little light, simple and quiet.

Xia He's least favorite thing is the west of the city, where there is no tranquility she likes. Moonlight City is the most prosperous area in the famous bar street.

followed Shao Jinnian all the way into this kind of place that she once felt extreme. Step by step, it is like stepping on the road of her youth, and her immature coat has faded......

Xia He was sad to find that she had numbed the writhing bodies in the hall, and the songs that filled her eardrums could no longer startle her with any reaction.

She followed Shao Jinnian step by step, unable to remember how she had made her way through the hall into the private room, and she couldn't remember what Yao had said, but he watched them have a great time, trying to bring her into this uplifting rhythm.

But she sat silently, obviously out of place.

Her mind is full of the past and gloom that she can't let go.

The first time Xia He walked into the bar street was in the second semester of the third year of high school, less than three months before the college entrance examination.

She received a call from Ni Ke's ex-boyfriend Min Wenchen, saying that she couldn't contact Ni Ke and asked her to go out to help find her.

Ni Ke is Xia He's childhood sweetheart who grew up together, they met when they were four years old, but she is one year older than Ni Ke, in her eyes, Ni Ke is a friend, more like a relative, her weight in her heart is heavier than her own brother Xia Guo.

When she received a call from Min Wenchen, her heart was inexplicably nervous, and she always felt that something bad was about to happen, so she immediately pretended to be sick and asked for sick leave to sneak out of school.

She and Min Wenchen walked all over the streets and alleys in the east of the city from the gate of No. 1 Middle School at the foot of Shishan Mountain, the phone was called again and again, but no one answered it, until she was about to give up, Ni Ke answered the phone, the other end of the phone was noisy and noisy, and Ni Ke's voice could not be heard at all, maybe she accidentally pressed the answer button.

It was late at night, and there were few pedestrians on the street.

When Xia He found her, she was supported by a yellow-haired young man, drunk and coming out of a noisy tavern.

Her hair was casually draped, covering half of her face unkemptly, and if it weren't for a conspicuous No. 1 middle school uniform, she and Min Wenchen would hardly dare to recognize her.

"Coco!" Xia He anxiously wanted to help, but was pushed away by Huang Mao: "Where is the little girl, get out! Don't spoil Lao Tzu's good deeds!"

Seeing that something was wrong, Min Wenchen hurriedly stepped forward to pull Ni Ke, but was kicked away by Huang Mao. The two helpless students were no match for him at all.

Huang Mao was even more unscrupulous, carrying Ni Ke and leaving, Min Wenchen didn't know where to get the strength, so he rushed up with his head stuffy, and tightly strangled Huang Mao's arms from behind. "Coco, Coco, wake up!!"

Huang Mao, who was strangled by his arms, was furious, and kept writhing trying to break free from Min Wenchen's restraints. Seeing this, Xia He also rushed forward to snatch the unconscious Ni Ke from him.

"You let her go!

"Help! someone deceived minors!!" Xia He cried, constantly pinching Huang Mao's fingers, Min Wenchen didn't care about anything else, and opened his mouth to bite Huang Mao's shoulder while tightening his arms.

Huang Mao couldn't help the pain for a while, vigorously pushed Ni Ke away and took the opportunity to slip away, and threatened viciously: "Two little boys, you wait for me!"

Xia He had never encountered this kind of thing, seeing Huang Mao walking away, his legs went weak and sat on the ground, Min Wenchen hugged Ni Ke and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, it's okay." ”

"How is Coco?" she relieved herself and helped Ni Ke with Min Wenchen, and the drunk person was very heavy.

The school definitely can't go back, they are just ordinary high school students, and they don't have any money left to open a hotel, Xia He and Min Wenchen put together the money on their bodies, and it was only about thirty yuan, and finally discussed going to the ATM ATM for one night, at least there was monitoring in that place, and they didn't have to worry about Huang Mao going and coming back to retaliate.

Fortunately, March in Licheng was not too cold, Xia He sat on the spot against the wall, and let Ni Ke sit on her legs for a long time, her legs and feet numb.

"Xia He, let me take care of Coco, you can move your legs and feet. Min Wenchen seemed to sense her discomfort.

"No, no, I'll do it, besides, there is a difference between men and women......" Xia He hurriedly shirked it, since he and Ni Ke broke up, they should keep their distance, not to mention Ni Ke who was lying in her arms at this moment, her white neck was covered with blue and purple scars, and the traces were shocking.

Although Xia He didn't know what was going on, he thought to himself that if Min Wenchen saw it, he would be more worried, and maybe he would go to find that yellow hair by himself in the future...... He likes Ni Ke so much, he has liked it since he was a child, and no one knows their past better than her.

So she quietly pulled Ni Ke's long hair to her chest, hiding those traces under her long hair.

She didn't know what happened to Ni Ke that night, but later she inadvertently understood that those traces were not as simple as she thought.

That was also the first time Xia He was really angry with Ni Ke, she knew how to feel sorry for her since she was a child, that distress was not pity, she knew all her grievances, so she had always been tolerant and considerate to her, but she never thought that one day she would not cherish herself.

But Ni Ke didn't tell her anything, neither cried to her nor explained to her, she said to her silently and coldly: "Xia He, you don't need to worry about my business. ”

It seems that it was from this sentence that the friendship between them began to decline, so that in the end, they did not get along with each other...
