The wagons sped by, accompanied by the shrill honking of horns and the frequent flashes of dazzling lights.

Bai Shutong was stunned for a moment, standing in the middle of the road, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.

The car got closer and closer, and the halo of the headlights became bigger and bigger in Bai Shutong's eyes. In the sound of crackling raindrops and noisy traffic, her mind was blank, and she only heard her own heartbeat, one at a time, not in a hurry.

The light was dazzling, Bai Shutong was so shaken that she couldn't open her eyes, she closed her eyes, and subconsciously reached out to cover her eyes to block the light.

One second, two seconds......

She became involuntarily, her feet seemed to leave the ground, and her body seemed to fly up with it, and fell down heavily.

The rain was cold, and it fell on her face at once, and it hurt badly.

Not far away, the honking of the car whistled by, gradually becoming smaller, but the wheezing in the ears gradually became solemn.

Bai Shutong's mind was blank, and before she could come back to her senses, she heard someone shouting in her ear: "Bai Shutong! What do you want! ”

This voice is very familiar, but on weekdays, he is used to calling her "Xiaobai" in an unusually calm and disdainful tone, but now he has called her full name in an angry tone for the first time.

Bai Shutong slowly realized that this was probably not an illusion after death.

The sound in my ears became real, and the sense of touch on my skin was not lost. Bai Shutong slowly opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was the black oppressive sky, huge raindrops, and when he turned his head, he saw Shao Yuanguang's face again.

Shao Yuanguang was drenched, and the hair on his forehead was hanging down, looking a little wolf.

Bai Shutong didn't know why he was here, and before he could ask, Shao Yuanguang spoke first and scolded her angrily: "What are you thinking!" Is it crazy or stupid! ”

Bai Shutong looked at him, his consciousness gathered, and he recalled the scene just now, and cold sweat broke out on his back and palms. She must have been crazy and didn't even dodge it just now. If it weren't for Shao Yuanguang, she would probably ......

Thinking of this, Bai Shutong was a little scared, the chill hit behind him, but he couldn't speak all of a sudden, only choked up and shouted: "Teacher Shao......"

Fortunately, it was just a false alarm. Seeing her like this, Shao Yuanguang couldn't bear to blame anymore, so he reached out and helped her up.

Bai Shutong never thought that she would be so close to death, she stood up with Shao Yuanguang's arm, but her feet were soft in hindsight, and she didn't stand firmly, and fell crooked on Shao Yuanguang.

Shao Yuanguang held her and said a few words comfortingly, Bai Shutong's eyes turned red when he heard it, and after a while, his shoulders continued to shake with the sound of sobbing, and his body couldn't tremble on his own.

Two ** people stood on the side of the road, and all the people passing by looked sideways.

Shao Yuanguang frowned, and persuaded Bai Shutong again, but her crying not only did not stop, but the more she cried, the more fierce she became. It's not a matter if it goes on like this, Shao Yuanguang sighed helplessly and asked her, "Where do you live?" I'll send you back. ”

Hearing the word "home", Bai Shutong breathed for a moment and cried again.

Where is Bai Chongde? Dormitory? Or grandpa's house? For Bai Shutong, there is no home now.

Bai Chongde formed a new family, and naturally there was no place for her anymore. The dormitory was deserted and didn't feel like home at all. Although her grandfather's family was warm, she couldn't bear to disturb the life of the second elder with her worries. Now, it is even more difficult to find a harbor in this world that can protect her.

The more she wanted to cry, the more sad she became, and the tears and rain pooled and flowed down her cheeks. Shao Yuanguang looked anxious, but he didn't have the slightest choice, so he had to accompany her in the rain.

After a long time, Bai Shutong twitched and wiped his tears, raised his head to look at Shao Yuanguang, and whimpered: "I...... Don't want to go home. ”

If you don't go home, you can't waste it on the road. Shao Yuanguang wanted to leave, but after all, he still couldn't rest assured, she was a girl, she couldn't give up, don't let anything happen to her.

Shao Yuanguang shook his head and said helplessly: "Come with me." ”-

The rain is still falling, but it has subsided a bit, and it is not as crazy as it was just now. Bai Shutong followed Shao Yuanguang and turned back to the staff community of Jiangda.

Shao Yuanguang walked ahead, glanced back at her from time to time, and confirmed that she had followed, and then turned around and entered the residential building.

This building is not far from my grandfather's house, but because it has been renovated in recent years, the house is in much better condition than my grandfather's house. Bai Shutong walked downstairs and stopped, looking up at Shao Yuanguang.

Shao Yuanguang had already gone up half the floor, and when he saw that Bai Shutong hadn't followed, he turned his head to look at her.

The lights in the hallway were dim, and as both of them stopped, the voice-activated light dimmed suddenly, and the only light that was there was vanished. It was pitch black between the two, and the sound of rain outside the building made the hallway even more dull.

"Where are you going?" The lights lit up with Bai Shutong's voice, illuminating her slightly haggard face.

Shao Yuanguang looked at her and said lightly: "My family." ”

Although Bai Shutong didn't retreat when he heard his words, his toes hesitated and changed direction.

This is a subconscious escape reaction, Shao Yuanguang looked at it and smiled disdainfully: "You don't want to go home, I always have to go home." If you want to, you will follow, and if you don't want to, you will go. After he finished speaking, he was not ready to talk nonsense with her again, and turned to go upstairs.

Bai Shutong stood in place, his heart was horizontal, and he followed-

Shao Yuanguang's house can be regarded as a bright and clean window, except for a few psychology journals scattered on the coffee table, which are slightly messy, everything else is orderly.

Bai Shutong stood at the door shivering, the rain on his body dripping on the floor of the entrance, making the carpet soak. She hesitated and didn't go any further, but Shao Yuanguang felt that she was ink, turned his head and said, "Come in and close the door." ”

Bai Shutong took the door as he said and walked a few steps into the house.

Shao Yuanguang was soaked all over, he took off his coat, but fortunately, the clothes inside were still dry. But Bai Shutong was not so lucky, her whole person seemed to have been fished out of the water, and she was still dripping water while standing there.

Shao Yuanguang glanced at her, ignored her, turned around and went back to the house, and threw a towel to her when he came out: "Wipe it." ”

Bai Shutong took the towel and carefully wiped his face. Getting closer, she smelled the faint mint fragrance on Shao Yuanguang's towel, the smell was like his person, which was refreshing and alert.

Bai Shutong gently rubbed his cheek, and returned the towel to Shao Yuanguang with some reluctance.

Shao Yuanguang didn't answer, and looked at her with a frown: "You wiped it dry like this?" Seeing Bai Shutong raising his eyes and looking at him stunned, Shao Yuanguang was quite helpless, and his words had a hint of command in his words, "Take off your clothes." ”

"Ah......" Bai Shutong's expression froze, and when he saw the disdainful look on Shao Yuanguang's face, he knew that he wanted to be crooked, so he couldn't help but bow his head and let out an "oh" sound, and unbuttoned his coat.

The coat was taken off, and the clothes inside were wet from head to toe.

Shao Yuanguang looked at it and sighed, and pointed to the bathroom on the side: "There is a change of clothes inside." ”

"Huh?" Bai Shutong looked at the direction of Shao Yuanguang's finger, and pulled the clothes on his body again with some trepidation.

She thought that Shao Yuanguang would take her to KTV or Internet café, and then take the opportunity to get out, but she didn't expect him to take her home. It's already difficult to ride a tiger, and in the middle of the night, the lonely man and widow are now asking her to take off her clothes and take a bath, isn't it a bit ......

Looking at Bai Shutong's defensive expression, Shao Yuanguang felt ridiculous. He smiled contemptuously and said, "I'm not interested in what you're thinking. He said, thinking about something, and added, "Just like I said before." ”

Shao Yuanguang turned around and went to the kitchen after speaking, leaving Bai Shutong alone in place.

In that case, Shao Yuanguang did say it. On Valentine's Day, he sat at the bar and sneered at what she handed over. He raised his head, his eyes were cold, and replied to her word by word: "I'm not interested in what you think." ”

Not interested? Is it that you are not interested in her, or that you are not interested in what she thinks?

Bai Shutong entered the bathroom, locked the door, took off his clothes, and took a hot shower, and the whole person slowly gained temperature. She dried her body, changed into Shao Yuanguang's clothes, looked in the mirror, and suddenly turned red.

She thought about it, wrapped a towel around her clothes, and then opened the door and walked out-

Outside the house, Shao Yuanguang warmed up the milk, and was sitting on the sofa flipping through the periodicals.

Hearing the movement behind him, he didn't look back, only pushed the glass on the coffee table and said, "Drink it." ”

There is no third person here, so this is naturally said to Bai Shutong. She walked over with an "oh" and took the milk in her palm, but she didn't drink it.

She stood there blocking part of the light, Shao Yuanguang frowned slightly, looked up at Bai Shutong, and popped out another word: "Sit." ”

He spoke extremely stingily, and seemed reluctant to say a word. Bai Shutong listened to his cold words, rubbed the warm milk cup with his fingertips, hesitated for a while, and responded with an "oh".

Bai Shutong approached Shao Yuanguang, thought about it, and sat down in a position closer to him.

Shao Yuanguang raised his eyes to look at her, and then lowered his eyebrows and continued to read the articles in the journal.

The current article is a paper on evolutionary psychology, which explains why some men prefer plump women, while others prefer weaker women - one from conquering and one from the determination to protect.

Shao Yuanguang closed the journal, took off his glasses, and pinched his eyebrows. He doesn't understand why some scholars like to look at one thing separately, conquering and guarding are originally two sides of love, and only with the ability to conquer can you make a promise to protect, and only those who can protect your loved ones are qualified to conquer.

Shao Yuanguang shook his head slightly, put on his glasses and looked up at Bai Shutong.

Bai Shutong sat on the sofa beside him, wrapped like a silkworm chrysalis, and shrunk timidly in the sofa. She didn't cry or make trouble at this time, I don't know if it was because she was frightened, or because of the embarrassment of the two being alone, Bai Shutong kept her head shut and didn't say a word, just took a sip of milk from time to time, like a well-behaved cat.

There was a reading lamp on her side, and the yellowish light illuminated the side of her face, reflecting the rosy of her cheeks. Her hair was slightly damp and hung down to her ears, Xu noticed Shao Yuanguang's gaze, Bai Shutong unnaturally reached out and plucked her hair, pinning it behind her ears. As soon as she moved, the red garnet bracelet on her hand was revealed. The color of the bracelet was eye-catching, but it was a color that complimented the fairness of her complexion.

Shao Yuanguang looked at it and blinked, ready to withdraw his gaze, but at a glance, he saw the scar on her wrist.

It was just left, a shallow scratch, and the wound didn't look deep, but the red was very conspicuous. In addition, she also left two fingerprints on her cheeks, which were shallow, but not imperceptible.

Shao Yuanguang frowned, was silent for a moment, and said, "If you want to say it, you can talk to me." ”

In the evening, Bai Shutong didn't want to sue others. She shook her head, took a sip of the milk, and slowly let it slide down her throat. The warm feeling spread throughout the body, dispelling the coldness of the early spring night, and Bai Shutong felt a little comfortable.

She didn't want to say, Shao Yuanguang didn't ask, he muttered for a while, and still told her: "Don't do this next time, even if you are angry and sad, you can't be in danger of your life." He paused for a moment and added, "I passed by this time, and I may not be so lucky next time." ”

Shao Yuanguang's words reminded Bai Shutong of the experience just now, this time it was indeed her luck, if it weren't for Shao Yuanguang, most of her trip to the Ghost Gate Pass would have been gone.

It's just that this little fright didn't hit her as hard as it had been before. Bai Shutong thought of his father and Fang Xian, Fang Xian pretended to be a good person, but Bai Chongde beat himself because of her. Bai Shutong's nose was sour when he thought about it, and tears poured out uncontrollably.

This sign of tears gave Shao Yuanguang a headache, and he knew that he couldn't persuade her, so he hurriedly pulled out two tissues and handed them to Bai Shutong.

Bai Shutong's tears kept flowing, and he took the tissue and blocked it to his eyes vigorously, as if a thin piece of paper could block the tears like a broken embankment.

Shao Yuanguang didn't know the cause of the incident, and it was difficult to persuade her. After some thought, he got up, turned back to his room, and came out of it a short time later.
