Fandi's cold gaze fell on Xiao Ying's back, and his pupils were contracting, revealing a chill...... Is this a girl's back? Fandi felt that this was really the ugliest back he had ever seen, was this the possession of a young girl?

Xiao Ying's back has several obvious red marks, which are obviously left by the belt before. And under these traces, there are also some faint cyan or purple traces densely distributed horizontally and vertically, which makes her originally Bai Xi's delicate skin lose its beauty, as if it has been scratched with a blunt instrument on the surface of Haode porcelain.

Fan Di was born in the underworld, he had seen countless blood, and his heart was refined to be hard beyond ordinary people, but at this moment, this man couldn't help but breathe tightly, and there was a heavy wisp on his heart. Although it is not a bloody wound, it can be seen that it is often abused to show this, how many times Xiaoying should have been pumped by her stepfather over the years to have such an unbearable back. Every scar, no matter how deep or shallow, is silently accused, making people have to imagine what kind of pain and torture she was when she was abused, and how forbearant and strong she was to survive to this day?

If it weren't for these scars, what he saw should be a seductive beautiful back, and if it weren't for these scars, Xiaoying's youth would not have a shadow...... It's like this on my back, and I guess there are scars elsewhere on my body.

Xiao Ying's whole body was tense, she seemed to feel that something was wrong with Fandi, and she couldn't help but think...... Did he think her back was disgusting?

Xiao Ying suddenly felt a little inferior, lowered her head, and whispered, "Forget it, I'll wipe it myself." ”

Wipe the ...... yourself For her scar, rubbing the medicine herself didn't work at all. The medicated oil needs to be rubbed and then kneaded to let the medicated oil melt and soak into the skin, and someone needs to help it.

Fandi furrowed his brows, a complex light brewing in his eyes, and poured a few drops of medicinal oil on her back.

Xiao Ying trembled, an electric shock sensation came from her back, her heart beat faster, her face was red and her ears were swollen, and she quickly bit her lip to prevent herself from screaming.

There has never been an adult man who rubbed medicine for her, and in the past, it was her brother or mother who rubbed medicine for her, but now it is Fandi......

Xiao Ying unconsciously tightened her whole body, her pores seemed to be closed tightly, and her little hands were clenched...... It could be seen that she was very nervous, and she herself wondered, she didn't think too much about it when she said that she would let Fandi help rub the medicine, she just thought that rubbing the medicine would make the injury faster, but now she realized that it was so touched by him...... Odd.

She didn't know that she would be like this, and when his fingers touched her skin, her back felt like it was going to burn, and her whole body was numb......

Xiaoying grew up in this town, which is not as open as the city, the people in the township are relatively simple, and the place is small, people will not be as open as some people in the city, and their thinking is still conservative, especially for an honest girl like Xiaoying, who has not yet had a boyfriend, and will not have intimate contact with men. Letting Fandi rub the medicine is already Xiaoying's limit.

"This wound, just rubbing it with this medicine, will leave a scar in the future, which will affect the appearance. Unless it's a higher level of medicine,......" Van Di said casually, as if talking to himself and as if to Xiao Ying.

Xiao Ying's clear eyes were filled with a little ripple...... What girl doesn't love beauty, how can she not mind a scar on a certain part of her body, but Xiaoying finally shook her head and whispered: "I've seen an advertisement on TV that there is a kind of medicine that is very good...... However, it is very expensive, costing more than 400 yuan a bottle. I...... I can't afford it. But I'll try to save money in the future, buy a bottle for my brother to rub, he is similar to me, he is still young, his skin is tender, and it is easier to have scars than me. ”

Xiao Ying had something to say, but she didn't expect that her few words would make Fan Di feel suffocated in her breath, and the heaviness in her heart was a little more...... Four hundred yuan is not worth mentioning to him, but it is too important to Xiaoying's sister and brother. And Xiaoying thought of her brother first, instead of thinking about herself first, thinking that if she had four hundred yuan, she had to buy that kind of medicine for her brother first. This kind of pure and selfless feelings is what is gradually lost in today's society, but it is also the purest and most beautiful haode emotion, even if it is as cold as Fandi, you can't help but be slightly moved by it.

"Why don't you get paid to work in a noodle shop?"

"Remuneration?" Xiao Ying was stunned, and a trace of helplessness flashed in her eyes: "My stepfather said that my brother and I were dragging oil bottles, saying that we can't eat and drink for nothing, and we have to do things for him, so ...... I don't get paid, it's just that sometimes my mother will give me a little pocket money, and last month she gave me a hundred yuan, but I ...... I went to the barbershop three times and spent forty bucks, and now I think about it and think like a waste......"

When Fan Di heard this, he barely burst into foul language...... Xia Zhiqiang is really not a person! used Xiaoying and her younger brother as free laborers, and didn't give a penny, but Xiaoying didn't complain at all, but felt that she should do it, so that the pocket money given by her mother, she spent 40 yuan out of 100 yuan and thought it was a waste, what kind of concept is this?

Fandi only felt that Xiaoying had lived under the oppression of her stepfather for a long time, and was brainwashed by her stepfather's statement that she was talking about eating and drinking for nothing all the time, so she didn't realize that she should be paid accordingly for her labor. Her mind is imprisoned, too honest...... This should have been a passionate and wonderful youth, but it was smeared in gray and killed her young heart.

Not only that, when he heard Xia Zhiqiang scolding Xiao Ying before, it was clear that the beast had evil thoughts about Xiao Ying and wanted to pick this flower bone, which was really shameless to the extreme.

Fandi's face was not good-looking, his brows were furrowed, but he was silent and did not speak. He does not comfort people, and he knows that for such things, words of comfort are pale and useless. The status quo is still borne by Xiaoying and her brother, as well as her mother.

His hands were rubbed very slowly, Xiao Ying endured the pain, her body was trembling, she understood that rubbing medicinal oil was like this, and she needed to use some force when wiping.

Xiao Ying felt a burst of heat mixed with coolness on his back, and where his fingers passed, it was like a spring breeze blowing all over the desert. He wiped it very carefully, and his entire back was wiped one by one.

Xiaoying was enduring the pain and tears, and her gratitude to Fandi became more and more profound...... He wasn't intimidated by her scars, and he was such a good person to rub medicine for her so patiently.

"You've got wounds elsewhere."

Elsewhere? Xiao Ying subconsciously touched her chest, her face turned even redder, her ears were hot, she turned around shyly, took the medicinal oil from Fan Di's hand, and said, "Xiexie, I can wipe the rest by myself." Then he ran out of the house in a puff of smoke......

The corners of Fandi's mouth twitched, and he muttered to himself: "Of course you wiped it yourself, I just asked, and I won't wipe it for you anywhere else, it's really ......"

This night, Fandi didn't sleep peacefully, Xiaoying's mother came back and knew that the two children in the family had been smoked by Xia Zhiqiang again, of course she would quarrel with Xia Zhiqiang, and the two of them quarreled for a long time before stopping.

After today's incident, Fandi has become more low-key, and rarely goes downstairs. Xia Zhiqiang didn't go to Fandi for trouble after he woke up, he didn't dare. People who often go in and out of the casino, although it is shameful, but they still have a bit of an eye for people. Xia Zhiqiang always felt that Fan Di was not an ordinary person, so he was very smart not to provoke Fan Di.

Xiaoying's younger brother, Douzi, is very grateful to Fandi like her, and frequently runs to Fandi's room, which is very close to him.

Fandi has nothing to do and will paint to relieve boredom. Sit in front of the window, open the window, look at the scenery outside, draw whatever you see, and paint whatever you think. He doesn't deliberately plan the composition, he doesn't think hard, he just paints randomly, sometimes it's people, sometimes it's landscapes, sometimes it's buildings, it seems messy, but it shows that Fandi's state of mind is relatively calm and peaceful. At least for now, he had to enjoy the peace of this place before leaving, because he knew very well that once he left, it meant that he would return to his original identity, no longer Afan, but Fandi.

Van Di is recuperating here, and the only person who knows is his father, Brahma Dingtian. Even Shanying and He Yuyan didn't know the true situation of Fandi. For the sake of safety, Vandi could not even trust his two major cronies...... Whether the speedboat he took that night was passive, and whether the mountain eagle deliberately said the wrong direction, these are all to be ascertained. He can't reveal his location until he finds out, otherwise if someone really wants to harm him and find here, the consequences will be unimaginable.

There are no decent brushes here, and Fandi can only draw with ordinary rollerballs, but even then, the results are amazing.

"Afan, are you painting firecrackers?" Beanzi leaned up and asked curiously.

"Well, firecrackers...... It's the New Year......" Van Di said, the pen in his hand did not stop, sketching without hurry, and soon, the outline of a child appeared on the paper.

Douzi's eyes became brighter and brighter, and the eyes that looked at Fandi became even more adoring: "Wow...... Ah Fan is still amazing, is this the painting of me? Isn't it me? ”

Beanzi was so excited, he never thought he could be painted.

Fandi hooked his lips and smiled, nodded, put away his pen, and handed the painting to Douzi.

It depicts a child setting off firecrackers in front of a door with lanterns hung...... It is very expressive, and with just a few strokes, he sketches the cheeks of the bean and his lively cleverness, drawing an innocent and cute child.

Douzi was so happy, excitedly hugged Fandi's neck, put on a small mouth, and said crisply: "Xiexie Afan!" ”

After the little guy finished speaking, he took the painting and ran away, and he was going to show it to his sister.

Fan Di stayed in place in a daze, and only after a while did he touch the face that had just been kissed by the beans with his hand, as if it was still slightly moist. This familiar scene made something that Fandi had suppressed in his heart again...... He thought of Little Lemon, that distressing child, is he okay now? Has your body been recuperated? He felt so happy and warm every time the little guy kissed him on the face, but it seemed like a long time ago, and how long had it been since he had banished himself to the sea.

Although Fandi was almost on Jinhong No. 1 some time ago, he still knows a lot about what happened in City C. Yanyue changed hands, Shui Yurou came back, and together with Shui Han's biological father, Shui Han became the chairman of Yanyue...... Vandi knows all this. He even knew about the hatred of the Yan and Shen families, but he never showed up, just because, he understood, there were some things that were more troublesome for him to meddle than not to interfere. Anyway, Shui Han and Xiao Lemon are safe at the moment, the man named Shao Qing protects her and the child very well, and Yan Jiyun should be busy with something particularly important.

Fandi limped to the bed, lay down, lit a cigarette, and let himself fall into memory again...... When reality is too cold, all he can do is draw a little warmth from his memories.

It's not that Fandi is unwilling to help Shui Han, but he has been paying attention to her every move, knowing that she and Yan Jiyun are still together and in love with each other under such difficult obstacles, he has a deep sense of powerlessness.

Even if he is richer than Yan Jiyun now and has more status than him, Shui Han still loves Yan Jiyun. In her opinion, only Yan Jiyun is her destination, even if he really becomes very poor.

Shui Han said that she came to a certain town when she was out shooting, and met Yan Jiyun, maybe this is it? Fan Di couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, he only felt that fate was too wonderful, the place where he was now was Shui Han who had come not long ago, and Yan Jiyun was also here at that time......

Just as he was about to get into his mind, Fandi heard a knock at the door.

"Afan, go down and eat, it's all done." Xiaoying was dressed in red and was festive.

Fan Di didn't raise his eyelids, and responded lightly: "I won't go down, just eat in the room." I don't want to see Xia Zhiqiang's unappetizing face. ”

"Puff...... Xiao Ying couldn't help laughing, she felt comfortable hearing that Fan Di hurt Xia Zhiqiang so much.

"Okay, I'll bring you the food, wait." Xiaoying went out happily.

After a while, Xiaoying and Douzi came up with dishes and chopsticks, and today's meal was a little richer than usual, because ...... Today is Chinese New Year's Eve.

During the Chinese New Year, every household in the town had a reunion dinner, but Xiaoying's family was different. This meal was because Xia Zhiqiang was scolding, and the others were not happy, until he finished eating and left, Xiaoying and his younger brother could breathe a sigh of relief, and they dared to pick up the dishes on the table at will.

Xia Zhiqiang said that if he didn't have money, he wouldn't have to celebrate the New Year, so he wouldn't even give the money to buy firecrackers, and he himself had dinner and hurried to the casino dozens of miles away, and he wouldn't come back tonight.

There is only one mother and two children left in this family, and there are four dishes and one soup on the table, which is considered rich. Xia Zhiqiang took the money to gamble, but he was reluctant to buy a few fruits for his family to eat...... But these are not important, even if they are very lacking materially, at least Xia Zhiqiang is not at home, Xiaoying can live at ease.

Upstairs of the noodle restaurant is where the family lives, and the meal is in the noodle restaurant, but because it is Chinese New Year's Eve, the store is not open, the door is closed, the wind is strong outside, and there is almost no one left, all at home to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner to watch the gala.

Xiaoying's mother Yu Meifeng is a woman with a hard life, after her ex-husband died, she married Xia Zhiqiang with her child, she is also quite helpless and depressed, and on Chinese New Year's Eve, she is in a bad mood, thinking of her ex-husband's various gentleness and thoughtfulness before his death, and then look at how bastard her current husband Xia Zhiqiang is.

Yu Meifeng drank the liquor one by one, although the cup was small, she was a little drunk after a few glasses.

"Mom, don't just get drunk, let's eat some food." Xiao Ying said and put a piece of braised pork in her mother's bowl.

Beanzi is also well-behaved, sitting next to his mother, picking up a piece of sausage with his little hand and feeding it to his mother.

Yu Meifeng is also a woman with a bit of beauty, dressed very ordinarily, but the charm is still there, after drinking, she has become more and more like a bone, seeing the two children so considerate and sensible, the pain in her heart can't help but be alleviated, very relieved, and when she is happy, she hugs a pair of children and sighs......

"Xiaoying...... Mom really hopes that you can marry a good man and marry a rich and handsome man in the future...... Don't marry a bastard like your mother! And also...... Little bean, you have to study hard, you know...... Your sister has dropped out of school, and you are still studying at home, and your boy will have to go to college in the future and find a good job in the city...... Give your mother and me a pension...... Belch...... Hiccup......" Yu Meifeng was full of wine, and her eyes were red as she spoke.

"Mom, I'm going to go to college!" Beans swore as loudly as they spoke. This little guy is only ten years old, but he is already more sensible than children of the same age, and his goal is not to go to junior high school or high school, he just wants to go to college. Most of the people here think that they will be able to make a career after going to university.

Xiaoying was embarrassed, her mother would mention her marriage every time she drank, but she was only eighteen years old...... Eighteen next month, to be exact. Besides, it's too unrealistic to be rich and handsome, Xiaoying hasn't thought about it so much. However, in order to comfort her mother, Xiaoying could only nod and agree.

The meal was about to be finished in Meifeng's broken thoughts, when she suddenly heard a strange sound at the door...... The closed glass door was pushed open, and two strange men dressed in black entered.

"Hey, cook two bowls of noodles!" Said one of the men in a leather coat.

The two were about to sit down, but they heard Yu Meifeng roar: "It's not open today, didn't you see the red paper posted on the door?" There is no face, you go! ”

Yu Meifeng's words froze the two men, but only a few seconds later, both of them smiled coldly, their eyes showed a fierce light, and they sat down next to Xiaoying's table......

"Don't TM nonsense, no matter what you have to eat, whether it's noodles or rice, serve it to Lao Tzu, otherwise...... Hehe...... "The man didn't take the words later, but the vicious look was enough to explain it.

Xiaoying and Douzi looked at their mother nervously and whispered, "Mom...... They don't seem to be good people, what are we going to do? ”

What to do?

Yu Meifeng's ears still echoed Xiao Ying's words, but her actions greatly exceeded Xiao Ying's expectations......

The next moment, I saw Yu Meifeng casually smashing an arm-thick wooden stick on the table next to her under the terrifying gaze of the two children!

"The old lady is not scared, get out!" Yu Meifeng roared angrily, this jiashi is indeed a little terrifying, and the two men were shocked for a while, as if they didn't expect that there would be such a strong woman in the shop, but ......

After Yu Meifeng finished roaring, her body fell down...... Drunk past.

Xiao Ying and Douzi instantly petrified and froze...... Mom, did you get drunk when you people off? [Ask for a monthly pass, there will be an update in the afternoon]
