I don't know if it's my delusion, at this time, Zheng Jiayue walked farther and farther, and her body turned away from me.

I couldn't see her expression, I couldn't see her face.

It's been a long time since she answered this call, and I've never seen her answer a call for so long..

At this time, I really wanted to walk over to her, and I really wanted to walk over and ask Zheng Jiayue what was wrong... But the kite in my hand made it impossible for me to walk over, so I could only look at her from a distance... Waiting for her to finish the call.

Finally, after a while, Zheng Jiayue's phone call was over... She didn't walk back immediately after putting down the phone, but stood where she was, not moving for a long time.

After a long time, she turned around and walked back to me.

I was a little surprised to see Zheng Jiayue walking back, and after looking at her for a while, I still asked

"What's wrong? Whose phone is it?"

Zheng Jiayue was stunned for a moment when I asked, and soon she nodded again and spoke

"Well, it's okay.."

Zheng Jiayue answered the question, which made me vaguely feel that there must be a problem, not to mention her current appearance, just because she didn't answer who I was calling her, I felt that she must have something to hide from me...

At this time, I moved my mouth and immediately asked again

"Are you okay? Who the hell is it? Why have you been answering the phone for so long? ？”

Zheng Jiayue didn't expect me to continue to ask, she thought about it again, still looked at me, and said

"It's really fine, it's just, a friend, we talked about a little thing..."

Although Zheng Jiayue had tried very hard to keep her composure when she said this, I still felt that something was wrong, and I always felt that she was lying to me.

Although Zheng Jiayue rarely lies, at this time, she is mostly lying to me.

Because I don't know anything else, she said it's her friend, and I definitely don't believe it... I know almost all of her friends, and I count them all from the little prince, so how can she not be able to name them now? There must be something wrong with them.

At this time, I wanted to continue to ask, but when the words came to my mouth, I suddenly felt that continuing to ask was nothing more than making Zheng Jiayue even more embarrassed, since she refused to tell me, then there must be a reason for her refusal, so I paused for a few seconds, swallowed the words back into my stomach, and then spoke

"That's it.. All right.. That.. Are you going to keep flying your kite?"

Zheng Jiayue seemed to be relieved to hear me say this, she looked at me, thought about it and nodded.

Soon the kite was in her hands again, but she looked a little absent-minded, completely devoid of the excitement she had just had...

Seeing Zheng Jiayue like this, my heart was also a little uncomfortable, this feeling was very bad, I was originally disappointed because I noticed Zheng Jiayue's low mood, plus I knew that she had something to hide from me, so I was even more blocked...

But I still didn't show it, so as not to embarrass Zheng Jiayue.

In this way, the two of us flew the kite for a while, and suddenly heard Zheng Jiayue's "ah~".

I looked up and saw that the kite in the sky was spinning, falling into the distance...

And Zheng Jiayue was also shocked, and soon she came to her senses again and said in a little panic

"The line is broken, Xiao Xiaoming!"

At this time, the people around also saw the kite with the broken string, many people were still coaxing, and children were noisy...

I didn't expect the kite string to break, which surprised me so much that I kept my eyes on the falling kite.

I saw the kite spinning in circles, and then I didn't know where it ended up.

After a long time, I turned my head and looked at Zheng Jiayue and said

"Uhhh It looks like it.."

I don't know why, but I always wonder how a good kite string can break, it's like an ominous sign.

And Zheng Jiayue looked at me, and after a while she gently bit her lower lip, she looked at me with a sad expression and asked

"What should I do, Xiao Xiaoming, are you going to pick it up?"

I nodded, but quickly shook my head again and spoke

"Uhhh Forget it, such a high place, it fell and it fell, and it didn't fall off the tree, there was a way to fall on the tree, if it fell on the roof of someone else's house, then it was really out of line, or if you want to put it, go buy another one?"

Zheng Jiayue hesitated for a while when she heard me say this, but finally she shook her head and spoke

"No, still... Forget it, it's been a long time, so be it.."

Zheng Jiayue's words are weak, I know that she must be sad not only because the kite flew, but also for other reasons...

At this time, I wanted to open my mouth to comfort her, but I didn't know how to comfort her better, and after a while, I still spoke

"Okay, then... Do you want to eat something, what do you want to eat? I invite you to eat and try the snacks of our county?"

Zheng Jiayue regained her spirit a little when she heard the food, she looked at me, and after a while, she still spoke

"Well, okay .. That.. Let's go, little Ming.."

Although Zheng Jiayue doesn't seem to be in a good mood, she still takes care of what I mean...

I didn't say much, and soon led her down the road to the square.

Walking to a snack bar in front, I took Zheng Jiayue to eat some snacks in it.

Because she had only eaten for a long time in the morning, and she had been eating on the way, Zheng Jiayue didn't eat much...

After eating, I originally wanted to propose to take Zheng Jiayue around casually, but I didn't expect Zheng Jiayue to take the initiative to say that she was a little tired and wanted to go home to rest.

This surprised me very much, but I still didn't say anything else, saying that I would go back then..

When I got home, my parents still didn't come back at noon.

As soon as she entered the room, Zheng Jiayue walked to the sofa on the side and sat down, but she leaned to the side, obviously a little tired.

It stands to reason that with what I know about her, she shouldn't feel tired after a day of playing, so at this time, she may have affected her mood because of something.

This made me hesitate for a moment, but finally looked at her, walked over to her, sat down, and asked

"I still don't feel like you're right... What's the matter?"

"I feel. You shouldn't hide it from me, right? If there's something bad, it would be better to tell me."

Hearing my words, Zheng Jiayue straightened up again, she turned her head and looked at me with a very confused look.

After a long time, she shook her head and spoke

"There are some things, even if it's Xiao Xiaoming, I don't want to tell you.."

I was a little surprised by her words, and I looked at her and asked

"Why? Why, you don't want to tell me?"

Zheng Jiayue smiled a little reluctantly, she took a deep breath, looked at me and said

"Because, because it's you."

"Because. . It's Xiao Xiaoming."

Her answer was strange, and people couldn't figure out the situation for a while... I thought about it for a while, but I still didn't understand, so I looked at Zheng Jiayue and asked puzzled

"What do you mean because it's me? What is there to hide from me?"

My words made Zheng Jiayue lower her head again, and after a while, she looked at me again and said seriously

"Xiao Xiaoming, you believe me, I.. I can handle it myself.. So.."

"Don't ask me anything now, okay? I'll take care of it.."

Zheng Jiayue's words made me feel like something was blocked, just now I was actually just guessing, guessing that Zheng Jiayue might have something to hide from me, but I didn't expect that now I really guessed it, and this matter... It's probably related to me, otherwise she wouldn't be willing to tell me. Could it be that in the past two days that I have been gone, something has gone wrong, and Zheng Jiayue is trying to find a way to help me solve it?

But, no, if it's a company's business, she should discuss it with me, and it definitely won't be such a person. So I really can't figure out what the hell is going on.

In this way, I looked at Zheng Jiayue for a while, and then spoke

"You.. Are you sure you don't want to tell me? I'd love to know... And.. If you tell me, I might be able to help you share that too."

Unexpectedly, Zheng Jiayue shook her head very firmly, she suddenly leaned on my shoulder, her hand gently grabbed my arm, and spoke

"I can do it myself, so..."

"Don't ask Xiao Xiaoming again, it's good to be with you... As long as it can be by your side... I'm already happy.."

I don't know what Zheng Jiayue is all about, every word and every move she says makes people unable to capture her thoughts...

This made me look at her beside me for a long time, and finally I nodded and spoke

"Okay, but.."

"I still don't want you to hide something from me, if you're yourself. . . If you don't think it's good.. Be sure to tell me right away... See you like this.. I'm not happy at all."

My words made Zheng Jiayue move again, and she rubbed against my body and said like a coquette

"Okay~ I promise you Xiao Xiaoming.. What if.."

"I'll tell you if the opportunity comes... So.. Xiao Xiaoming, don't care too much... I'm fine.. It's really fine.."

It's nice to say, but I just can't believe her...

Because Zheng Jiayue can't lie at all, her expression has betrayed her, and she is sure that this matter makes her very entangled.

But there was no point in continuing to ask, so I had to keep my mouth shut, and let her rest her head on my shoulder.

After a while, I suddenly heard Zheng Jiayue speak again

: "That.. We.. Let's go back tomorrow.."

"Let's go back to Beijing tomorrow... Xiao Xiaoming.."

——- tomorrow

If I had to find one word to describe who I am now, it would be... I think I'm like a coward now...

Yes, I hid upstairs, and when I heard Li Xinran's screams, I couldn't move..

I didn't have the courage to rush down to her, my body, and I didn't even have the courage to go down.

At this time, the lights in the corridor went out one by one, and I stood in the dark, with only my faint heartbeat left in my mind, and Li Xinran's scream just now.

Without.. There was no other sound...

Did Lu Mao just hit Li Xinran? That "snap" sound, did he hit her?

I don't dare to imagine what kind of scene Li Xinran's house is like now, I can even guess that it must be very bad...

Lu Mao brought people here, he must have come to take revenge on Li Xinran, in front of others, the more Lu Mao did too much to Li Xinran, the more he could show that he took good care of his younger brother... So I can almost guess that Lu Mao must still be beating Li Xinran, although I can't hear any sound now, but the picture in the room is definitely numb just by seeing it...

What's even more terrifying is that I knew all about what was happening, but I didn't do anything about it.

It's not like me, it's not me at all.

If I were a student, even if I saw a girl I didn't know being bullied by hooligans or something on the road, I would definitely rush forward without hesitation.

And now it's a girl I know, a very miserable girl, or my sworn enemy hurting her, I don't even dare to do anything...

This makes me feel uncomfortable and condemned...

But even so, I still didn't go downstairs.

I still clearly know that my presence will not do any good, it will only make things more troublesome...

I may not be able to beat the three of them alone, and all Li Xinran's plans and preparations will be in vain...

I'll just take this as one of my own reasons, but I'm standing upstairs in the dark. Nothing was done..

I waited for a while, but there was still no movement downstairs.

I was a little bolder, and slowly moved around the corner and looked downstairs.

The three of them were no longer there, the door was tightly closed, and they should have all entered Li Xinran's house.

At this time, I took a deep breath, and then suddenly accelerated, went downstairs as fast as I could, and then rushed out of the corridor of Li Xinran's house.

After running out of the stairway, I almost ran all the way with my head bored...

By the time I came to my senses, I had run far, far away, so far that I didn't know where I was going.

At this time, I looked around in confusion, strange places, unfamiliar lights...

Everything is glittering, but everything is again, completely alien ..

I found a flower stand on the side of the road, and sat on it a little weakly.

After sitting down, I gasped for breath and couldn't calm down for a long time.

I suddenly remembered the time I took Zheng Jiayue to Shenzhen, that time something like that happened, I asked Zheng Jiayue to go first.. And then leave it yourself to deal with those hooligans ..

And now, I'm running faster than anyone else...

This made me laugh a little self-deprecatingly, I never felt that I was afraid of Lu Mao, but now... I seem to be really scared...

Actually, I know the reason, I'm not afraid of Lu Mao, I'm just afraid of myself and losing my current life...

Lose your current position, lose your current job...

I'm just scared that I'm losing these things...

If it had been before, I would have beaten Lu Mao without hesitation, but now... I started to get scared, I would think, I would hesitate...

It's not a good thing, at least in some ways, it's really not a good thing...

I hate the way I am, but really, as if I can't change anything...

In this way, while condemning myself in my heart, I sat here in confusion.

I don't know how long I've been sitting here anymore, but suddenly I realized something...

Then he stood up again.

After standing up, I didn't walk in the direction of the subway, but walked back along the road I had just run all the way over.

When I walked back, my pace was slow, and I was very careful, keeping my eyes on the front...

I've been looking for Lu Mao and them, and I've been looking at them...

However, I didn't see anyone along the way, and when I was about to walk back to the neighborhood where Li Xinran lived, I found a car on the side of the road.

I first avoided and looked, and after making sure that there was no one in the car, I stepped forward again and determined that this was the car that Lu Mao often drove...

I still remember one time when I went home, Lu Mao drove this license plate number to find Yu Qian... It should be that there is nothing wrong with this car..

It seemed that the three of them were still at Li Xinran's house, so I stepped aside again, went across the street, and found a hidden place to hide...

At this time, I was like a paparazzi, watching the car from a distance, waiting for the three people to appear...

I don't know how long I waited, but finally Lu Mao and the two little dogs appeared.

I was nervous when I saw these three people, and subconsciously hid again.

I saw that the three of them quickly got into the car, and after a while, the car started and drove towards the road.

After seeing the car drive away, I crossed the highway again. Then I walked back into the community.

Although it didn't help Li Xinran just now, I have to go see her at this time... Let's see if there's anything going on with her...

No matter what Lu Mao did, I have to take a look, maybe this will make the condemnation in my heart a little better, maybe this will make me feel a little more at ease...

With this thought, the pace of my feet was very fast, and I walked briskly back to the door of Li Xinran's corridor. I barely stopped, and when I went up the stairs, I soon stood in front of Li Xinran's door.

At this point, I reached out and knocked on the door quickly...

And when I knocked on the door, my voice was muffled

"It's me.. Are you at home? Open the door."

The knocking continued for a while, and the door opened.

I was nervous at first, and soon... I saw a picture that I couldn't describe...

How to say it.. How to describe it: .

Li Xinran seemed to see me through the cat's eyes, her eyes were dead, and there was no luster...

Just now the floor in the house is still very clean... A place of hair.

It's all shredded... It seems that there is a shredded one.

At this time, Li Xinran still had tears in his eyes... She looked at me blankly, with a reddened palm print on the side of her cheek.

And her original hair, pitifully and sadly, was a mess.

Seeing Li Xinran like this, I don't know what kind of feeling I feel in my heart...

I never knew the world would be like this.

In this world that looks peaceful and gentle, there can be such a thing... What's even sadder is that this kind of thing is happening almost every moment...

Bullying, abuse... Cruel..

The dark side of this world, everywhere, permeates every corner...

At this time, Li Xinran had not fully recovered from the panic...

I watched her walk in the door, locked her door when she entered, and dragged her to the bathroom next to the side.

After being dragged in by me, Li Xinran's whole body was still shaking, I turned on the faucet on the side, looked at her and said

"It's okay.. Don't be afraid.. When the water boils, you wash your hair first, don't be afraid.."

I don't know what I can do, so I can say that everything I do now relies on my instincts.

Hearing my words, Li Xinran seemed to come back to her senses a little, I noticed that there were still a few footprints on her clothes, obviously Lu Mao's group not only came in and slapped her one by one, but also kicked her... Moreover..

They also ripped off her hair one by one.

Just thinking about it makes me feel like I feel the pain... I don't know how Lu Mao can do it, how can they do it to a girl like this...

And I took another deep breath at this time.. looked at Li Xinran and said again

"Do what I say." After that, he turned around and walked out of the bathroom again.

After walking out of the bathroom, I found a broom on the side and began to silently sweep the hair on the floor.

I know that every girl regards her hair as her most precious thing, so I don't dare to guess Li Xinran's heart now...

I don't know how she feels now, I think, she should be scared, right?

She is a girl, and if she wants to be treated like this, she must be afraid.

As for the pain, it goes without saying that .. When a man beats a woman, what a beast can do, will she not hurt?

It's impossible for me to be kicked twice, let alone a weak girl like her...

While thinking about this, I swept all the hair on the ground...

After sweeping, I looked into the bathroom, Li Xinran was still standing there, she seemed to be sobbing, and her body was trembling.

This made me sigh and re-enter the inside.

After entering, Li Xinran still didn't look at me, her tears were like beads with broken threads, falling down her face one by one.

Seeing her like this, my heart is a little sour... I moved my mouth, and it took me a while to squeeze out a few words.

"I'm sorry.. Didn't help you.."

"I'm sorry.."

My words made Li Xinran cry even more, she bit her lower lip desperately, and her jaw kept shaking...

I can tell she's always been a strong woman, at least... is a very tolerable woman.. But now that it's like this, it shows that she's really very sad...

And I couldn't stand the girl's crying, and now this matter is still a big responsibility for me... Inevitably, I will blame myself more in my heart.

I don't know how long it took, Li Xinran suddenly moved a step forward, she leaned on my arms, and all the tears were left on my body.

The moment I felt her leaning over, my instinctive reaction was to dodge, but for some reason, in the end I still didn't dodge... Instead, I let her stick to my arms...

I didn't reach out to hug her, but Li Xinran hugged me, and she cried even more, and even cried out loud...

I heard her bleak voice and couldn't help but look at her ruined hair again...
