Chapter 2: The Masked Man

Foreword: Some people have caused tragedy in their own lives, but they also want to destroy the tranquility of others. People give you honey in front of you, and people in front of you can't wait to stab you. They live hypocritically, performing like a play, and thinking that everyone in this world is his audience.

Xu Xinyi returned home and opened the door, and the house was dark. Suddenly, a voice appeared in the darkness, "Xinyi, you're back." Xu Xinyi was so frightened that she threw her backpack on the ground. I've been so frightened today!

Xu Zhiwei hurriedly turned on the living room light and was about to pick up the schoolbag, Xu Xinyi snatched it, strode to the room and slammed the door. She really didn't want to say a word to him! She was tired and wanted to get some sleep.

This night, Xu Xinyi had a long, long dream, in which her parents were walking in the park as a family of three, and she also dreamed of a lost puppy, white and looking like a ball. She told her mother that she wanted to bring the puppy home and name it Qiuqiu. Mom and Dad laughed when they heard her give the puppy such a figurative name.

Xu Xinyi was woken up by the alarm clock, she rubbed her swollen temples to turn off the alarm clock, sat on the bed and lost her mind for a while, and reluctantly gave herself a smile. I wish this dream was true.

In front of the school's propaganda board, Zhao Bin locked his eyes on the three words "Xu Xinyi". Deputy class president of the first class of the third year of high school, the sixth place in the school.

He patted his head, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and pointed at Xu Xinyi's photo with a "click". He hurried away.

At noon time, Xu Xinyi saw Zhao Bin as soon as she walked out of the classroom.

"Xu, Xin, Yi" Zhao Bin said word by word.

"What are you doing?" Xu Xinyi felt that this person was a little inexplicable.

"I'll show you something. Zhao Bin said and took out his mobile phone and flipped out the photos taken from the propaganda board in the morning. "Hahaha... You see..."

"You have a problem with your brain, why are you taking pictures of me?" Xu Xinyi said with a frown.

"Is this you? Is this really you? No wonder I don't know you, how could I see such an ugly photo on it!" Zhao Bin said as he compared the difference between Xu Xinyi and the photo.

"I don't need you to know me! I'll leave if there's nothing to do, I still need to eat. Xu Xinyi pulled Chen Xiao and left, leaving Zhao Bin alone there and smirking.

"Xinyi, when did you meet Zhao Bin?" asked Chen Xiao as he stuffed a piece of tomato into his mouth.

Xu Xinyi brushed her long hair behind her ears, "Last night." ”

"Last night?" Chen Xiao's voice shouted a few decibels.

"Shhhhh "Why are you so surprised, I bought a supper last night and accidentally bumped into it. After a few casual words, I realized that it was alumni. ”

"I see. ”

Xu Xinyi took a bite of food into her mouth, "Do you know Zhao Bin?"

"Of course, many people in the school know him. He's the captain of the basketball team, an authentic handsome guy~"

"I thought he was something great, wasn't he just the captain of a basketball team. Xu Xinyi said disappreciatively.

"Only you Xu Xinyi would think so, but there are many girls who like him, and you don't see how charming he is when he sweats on the basketball court. Chen Xiao reminisced like a nymphomaniac.

Xu Xinyi knocked on her head with chopsticks, "Hey, wake up, saliva is going to flow into the bowl." Do you like him too?"

Chen Xiao touched her earlobe and said embarrassedly, "No~ I already have someone I like." ”

"Oh~ who?" Xu Xinyi's eyes lit up and she couldn't wait to ask.

"Well, it's not time to tell you yet, I'll talk about it when I catch up. ”

"Cut, stingy. ”

Xu Xinyi stood at the door of the house with the key in her hand, hesitating whether to go in. She didn't know if she would see Xu Zhiwei's guilty and pitiful look again when she opened the door. She thought to herself, maybe I should think about him from my father's point of view, my mother has been gone for so many years, and my father is busy with work all day long, and he has to take care of me, and the gray hair on his head has grown a lot. Maybe there's nothing wrong with finding someone who can be by his side like his mother, as long as it makes him feel happy, what's the point of being wronged. However, Ding Shengyan doesn't feel good about her, can such a woman make her father happy?

Xu Xinyi shook her head, opened the door and went in.

Quietly in the room, Xu Xinyi changed into a pair of slippers, put down her schoolbag, and sat on the sofa. As soon as she picked up the remote control, she heard the sound of water in the bathroom, she got up and was about to take a look, but Ding Shengyan walked out of it and saw Xu Xinyi so frightened that her mask fell off.

"Do you walk without a sound, do you want to scare people to death or what?" Ding Shengyan yelled at Xu Xinyi, bent down to pick up the mask and threw it into the trash.

Xu Xinyi saw that she was wearing her mother's pajamas, and immediately became angry, and grabbed Ding Shengyan's arm and asked her to take off her pajamas.

Of course, her strength is not as great as Ding Shengyan. Ding Shengyan sneered and shook off her hand and said, "Why should I take it off, I'm comfortable and don't want to take it off." ”

"Who do you think you are! This is my house, you take off my mother's clothes! You are not qualified to wear them! I order you to get out of here!" Xu Xinyi said through gritted teeth. She had never seen such a disgusting person, since her mother left, the clothes in her closet, and the items that belonged to her on the dresser had not been touched, but now there was an outsider walking in her house in her pajamas, she really wanted Ding Shengyan to disappear quickly, she didn't want to see her for a moment.

"Yo~ You should say, this is our home. Anyway, I'm staying here, and I'm going to wear your mother's clothes, what do you want?"

Seeing Ding Shengyan so arrogant, Xu Xinyi rushed into the kitchen angrily and took a kitchen knife out to force Ding Shengyan away.

Ding Shengyan saw this posture, for fear that Xu Xinyi would come to the truth, so she hurriedly took a few steps back, blocked in front of her with her hand and said, "You, don't be impulsive, can't I go?"

"Hurry up!" Xu Xinyi yelled.

"Then you'll have to let me change my clothes, too. Ding Shengyan twisted her ass and walked to the bedroom, and came out after a while, holding the pajamas she had just taken off in her hand and threw it at Xu Xinyi, as a result, a jade bracelet rolled from the pajama pocket to the ground, making a cracking sound.

Xu Xinyi squatted on the ground and picked up the bracelet fragments into her palm one by one, this is the bracelet that her mother has been wearing on her hand since her death, and now that her mother is gone, she has no ability to protect even her favorite things. Xu Xinyi's tears fell on the marble floor in large pieces, splashing tears.

Ding Shengyan knew that she was in trouble, so she covered her mouth weakly and said, "Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." ”

"Get out, get out of here, I don't want to see you!" Xu Xinyi shouted.

Ding Shengyan hurriedly went out with her bag.

Xu Xinyi, who calmed down, put the bracelet fragments into the jewelry box and called the lock change company to replace the door lock.

She glanced at her phone, it was already seven o'clock, and if Dad hadn't come back at this time, he would definitely come back after half past nine. So, she changed her shoes and went downstairs to the small supermarket to buy a bucket of instant noodles, and dinner was hastily settled.

At 9:50, Xu Zhiwei drove the car into the garage, and when he opened the door with the key, he couldn't insert it into the keyhole. He called Xu Xinyi's phone and told her to open the door. As soon as Xu Xinyi opened the door, Xu Zhiwei asked her, "Did you change the door lock?"

"Hmm. ”

"Why change the locks?"

"There's no why, if you want to change it, you can change it. Xu Xinyi replied casually, she couldn't say that she changed it to prevent Ding Shengyan from coming in.

"You kid, what about Aunt Ding?" Xu Zhiwei suddenly remembered that he gave the key to Ding Shengyan in the afternoon, because Ding Shengyan said that he would go to his house to help him tidy up the house and cook dinner for Xinyi, and she wanted to do something so that Xinyi could accept her. At this time, Ding Shengyan should be at home, but now Xu Xinyi is the only one at home.

"How do I know, I only know that I have Aunt Chen, Aunt Liu, I never knew Aunt Ding. Xu Xinyi raised her chin and went back to her room to read after saying this.

"You..." Xu Zhiwei sighed helplessly and made a call to Ding Shengyan.

"Hey, Sheng Yan. ”

Ding Shengyan on the other end of the phone was lying on the sofa at a friend's house watching TV. As soon as he saw Xu Zhiwei's call, he immediately bounced up, and suddenly there was an innocent and pitiful look on his face.

"Zhiwei~" She dragged the word Wei in the back for a long time, with a crying voice. The friend sitting on the side gave her a thumbs up, this acting skill can definitely be an actor.

Xu Zhiwei heard Ding Shengyan's tearful voice and asked anxiously, "Where are you?"

"I'm at the same lake we frequent. ”

"Okay, stay there and don't move, I'll come to you right away. ”

"Hmm. ”

Xu Zhiwei hung up the phone and drove to the place they frequented.

Ding Shengyan was ready before he arrived, she deliberately wore a thin blouse, squatted on the ground, and hugged her arms.

Xu Zhiwei happened to see this scene when he arrived, and hurriedly got out of the car and ran over.

"Sheng Yan. Xu Zhiwei called out cautiously.

Ding Shengyan stood up slowly, and the tears in her eyes flowed out unscrupulously. Xu Zhiwei hugged her in his arms in distress and asked softly, "What happened?"

Ding Shengyan looked at him with tearful eyes and said, "Xinyi didn't embarrass me, she is still a child after all, I can understand her, I believe that as long as I treat her well, one day she will be moved." Zhiwei, believe me, okay?"

"I believe in you, and you have been wronged. Xu Zhiwei raised his neck and pressed Ding Shengyan's head into his arms.

"Zhiwei. Ding Shengyan called softly.

"Huh?"

"You know, since the moment I met you, my biggest dream has been to be able to marry you. I've met so many men, they like my body, only you are different, I know you are sincere to me. I never thought I would be able to meet such a nice man as you. Thank you. Ding Shengyan was particularly sincere when she said this.

"Don't say it anymore, let the past pass, and it will slowly get better. ”

Xu Xinyi held her chin with her hands, thought about her thoughts for a while, and then walked to the window barefoot, she opened the window to breathe.

The cool breeze of the night blew on her face, on her delicate body, mixed with the chill coming from under her feet, and froze a layer of goosebumps.

Tonight, the moon hung crookedly in the sky, and without the company of the stars, it seemed extremely lonely.
