Fifteen years ago, Valley City—

Sixteen-year-old Ding Youmei dragged her heavy steps to the door of her own house in Qingtang Garden, and refused to open the door for a long time, the reason was very simple, her face was full of bruises and stains on her school uniform, and she was afraid that her family would ask questions after seeing it, which was a kind of pain like revealing a scab for her with strong self-esteem.

And there is only one member of her family, that is her grandfather who was over sixty years old, that is, Lima's father, and Uncle Ding back then.

Tomomi's parents, Reema and Tetsuko, don't want their daughter to get caught up in the entanglement between the retainer and the Phantom Corporation, so they leave her alone in Tanijo to be cared for by her grandfather, while they themselves live overseas all year round and rarely come back.

The last time Tomomi saw her parents was on her birthday four years ago. Because of this, in the eyes of others, she is a child without parents, who is always bullied by those high-minded guys in the school.

Because of her innate forbearance, she never told her grandfather about these things, and Liema and Tetsuko didn't know about it.

In the past, the bullying was not as serious as it is today, at most it was a prank or a bad insult, but it was hurt in the heart, because the other party was also afraid of making a big deal and receiving the attention of the school.

The reason why this time is like this is because she resisted, but that kind of resistance, in the eyes of the people who bullied her, is completely self-defeating, and the other party is still a group of sisters who usually mix in society, and they are one year older than her.

Tomomi's parents are rich and those people know it, and for a long time, they used her as an ATM, and it evolved from teasing at the beginning to blackmail later.

But they don't know the true identity of Tomomi's parents, and if they knew, they might not do that, but if they want to say who their parents are, Tomomi herself didn't know at that time, only that they were doing business abroad, and they would call a lot of money every month as the living expenses of their grandparents.

Therefore, Tomomi is vague about the images of Reema and Tetsuko, and as for the story that happened to them, he knows nothing.

After thinking about it for a long time, she finally took out the key from the schoolbag, inserted it into the keyhole, and after opening the door and entering, the nanny Aunt Zhang was cooking in the kitchen, and there were already a few plates of fragrant dishes on the table, but these friends didn't care, she looked at the living room, but she didn't see her grandfather, maybe he was still playing chess with others outside.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, she immediately ran into her room, took off the dirty clothes, her fair skin and beautiful figure were exposed, after changing her clothes, she looked at herself in the mirror, although the clothes could be changed, but these bruises on her face could not be concealed, she didn't want her grandfather to worry about herself.

Knock Knock Knock –

The knock on the door pulled back her thoughts, "Miss Tomome, you're out for dinner." It was Aunt Zhang's voice.

"Okay, here." She said as if nothing had happened.

When she arrives at the table and looks at the delicious meals on the table, Tomomi can't keep her appetite up, and as long as she thinks about everything that happened after school, her mind begins to wander.

"Miss Tomomi, ...... your face?" Aunt Zhang saw the clue on her face.

"It's fine, just a fall." She replied lightly, "By the way, why hasn't Grandpa come back yet?" ”

"He's definitely out playing chess and forgetting the time." Aunt Zhang took out her mobile phone, "I'll call him." ”

But no matter how many times she dialed, the other party never answered.

"Strange ......," Aunt Zhang frowned, "Something should happen......

Syllable!

Tomomi put down her chopsticks, didn't care about the thin clothes on her body, and rushed out of the door, because she had seen too many news on the news that the elderly had accidents outside, some were car accidents, some were due to sudden illnesses, and so on, if there were people around, it would be fine, in case it was in some inconspicuous corner......

Full of cranky thoughts, she rushed all the way, first to the senior center in the center of the community, but the door was locked and it was long empty.

It was getting dark, and she dialed her grandfather's mobile phone while running to various places where the other party could go, but found nothing.

immediately called Aunt Zhang's phone and was told that Grandpa still hadn't come home.

Tears swirled in Tomomi's eyes, and he didn't know if this was because of anxiety or despair, because grandpa was the only relative by her side and the most important existence in her life.

There was a drizzle in the sky, she walked on the street with her head down, thinking that her grandfather must not have an accident, and went in the direction of the police station, of course, she also knew that for a little time, the police station would not be investigated as a disappearance, but in addition, she had no other way.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the rain was wetting her hair and clothes, and she shivered with the cold, and it seemed that God had been deliberately playing jokes with her today, first being bullied at school, and now being teased by this......

Suddenly, the rain stopped dripping, and when she looked up, she found that someone had held an umbrella for her, and when she turned her head, there was a boy of the same age as herself standing next to her, handsome and extraordinary, wearing a suit-style student uniform.

"You...... Know me? Tomomi asked suspiciously.

"I don't know." The boy replied lightly, "I just saw you here alone in the rain, I can't just ignore it, right?" ”

"Thank you......"

"Are you lost?" The boy asked, "But look at how you ...... dressed," and he pointed to the slippers on Tomomi's feet, "It must be someone from the neighborhood, right?" ”

"Well, I was about to go to the police station to report the crime." Tomomi replied truthfully.

"Report the crime?" The boy wondered, "Just you?" But you're still a minor, aren't you? ”

When the boy said this, she remembered that she was a minor now, and even if she told the truth, the police would not file a case.

Under the boy's concerned inquiry, Tomomi told him the truth, but the other party disagreed: "Find someone This kind of thing, just leave it to me!" ”

"Over to you? You're not a policeman. Tomomi glanced at him.

"You're underestimating me, aren't you?"

The boy took out his mobile phone, didn't know who to call, and after hanging up, he smiled at Tomomi: "In five minutes, you will know where your grandfather is." ”

Tomomi looked at the confident boy suspiciously, but the other party's expression told her that she was joking.

"By the way, what's your name?" The boy asked.

"My name is Ding Youmei......"

Ding Youmei...... Surnames aside, it's a bit like a Japanese name. The boy smiled heartily after thinking about it, and stretched out his hand, "First time we met, my name is Shi Xun!" ”
