That's a pair of legs, a pair of women's legs!

Li Lizi couldn't believe her eyes.

But with only a door away, she didn't believe she could be wrong.

What's going on, was the woman in that bag?

Why was she put in a bag and was she still awake?

Or, one should ask, is she still alive?

The cold hairs around Li Lizi's body all stood up, and she felt that her blood was clotting and she couldn't breathe.

What did Li Mingyu do to her?

Li Lizi's fingers tightly grasped the crack of the door, not daring to close it completely, nor daring to open it again, just fixed there until the knuckles stiffened, and she didn't notice the pain.

At this time, she was looking at Li Mingyu wholeheartedly, not daring to be a little distracted, and more importantly, she couldn't let Li Mingyu find out about the changes here.

She didn't know what Li Mingyu would do to herself if she found out that she saw this scene. She instinctively sensed danger.

Li Mingyu dragged the bag and slowly walked to the door.

At this moment, he stopped, straightened up, and looked in the direction of Li Lizi's room.

In an instant, Li Lizi felt her hands tremble slightly, and then turned her face away into the darkness behind the door.

This series of actions is the first reaction of the moment.

She prayed silently in her heart, hoping that Li Mingyu didn't see herself, or that she was wrong from the beginning.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Lizi realized that she couldn't hear the sound outside.

There was no rustle of sacks against the ground, no footsteps of people walking.

The air was so quiet that even breathing became clear.

She subconsciously lowered her breathing softer and slower, and then turned her face back in the direction of the door, her eyes close to the crack in the door.

There is no one left.

The living room was empty, and there was no shadow of anyone in her field of vision.

Gone?

In the Super Heart Research Institute, Xu Guangyuan, who had been paying attention to Shen Ran's data, frowned.

Shen Ran's heartbeat and breathing were accelerating dramatically just now.

Is there really no problem?

Xu Guangyuan, who was originally going to attend an important meeting, hesitated.

Xiaomei still hasn't called him, and now it's up to him to judge.

It should wait until the meeting is over, but ......

Find a skilled subordinate to go over?

He thought about it for a moment and dialed the research assistant's phone anyway. The meeting was temporarily cancelled and postponed.

He took off his white uniform and walked out of the office.

That night, Li Lizi really didn't see Li Mingyu in the house again.

Although she was still afraid that Li Mingyu would suddenly appear and see her.

But she knew better that she had to get out of that room.

Now Li Mingyu is not in the living room, maybe he went out, maybe he went back to the room. Anyway, she had to take a chance and get out of here.

This opportunity will not be during the day.

Li Mingyu will find her sooner or later, and he will be even more unable to control what he will do at that time.

There's no better opportunity, right now.

She gently opened the door, the door still creaking softly.

Li Mingyu still did not appear.

She felt like an elk exposed to the wilderness, in danger at all times, so she didn't think much about it, opened the door, and ran out of it.

It was the middle of the night, the last train had already left, and she walked for a long time before she stopped a taxi and returned to her mother's house.

The little money left on his body was all used for taxis.

After that day, her spirit became more and more distant.

The image of that night recurs in my head.

She began to pay attention to the news of the rule of law, wanting to see if there had been any recent homicides in the city.

For nearly two weeks or so, she was on the lookout for similar reports.

No.

She rummaged through the newspapers, the Internet, and the TV news, but there was no mention of a missing woman.

That woman, isn't she dead?

Li Mingyu didn't kill anyone?

Compared with the first question, the second question seems to be more concerned by Li Lizi.

Could it really be that I'm just wrong?

After these ups and downs, the thoughts about Li Mingyu in her heart have not calmed down.

There is still curiosity, the unknown, and perhaps some other emotions.

But she has left Li Mingyu's home, and the lives of the two have not intersected.

There seemed to be a sense of loss gradually rising in my heart.

During this time, she found an opportunity to tell her mother about the tuition fee, and her mother was not surprised after hearing it. Although this is the first time Li Lizi has missed school because of money, she is not in a hurry to help her daughter raise money. I only asked her lightly what she planned to do in the future.

Li Lizi sighed and said that she simply didn't read it, went to work early, saved some money as soon as possible, and could help her mother.

The mother was silent for a while, but she did not object.

And so it went.

In fact, she hadn't completely thought about it herself, but her mother asked so, and she said it casually. It's just that I didn't expect my mother to comment, as if there was no difference between what she said and what she didn't say.

In this way, she wandered even more aimlessly.

One day, she unconsciously walked to that fork in the road, near her father's house, and near the office building where Li Mingyu used to enter and exit.

But this time, she didn't see Li Mingyu, but she saw her father.

He had just returned from outside and was heading home.

I saw Li Lizi walking in his direction, I don't know why, he immediately increased his pace and ran towards Li Lizi, the momentum was not like seeing his daughter at all, but like seeing the enemy of the appointment, he was about to go up and punch him.

Li Lizi rarely saw her father's posture, and instinctively took a few steps back.

"Don't run!" Who knew that her father came up and grabbed her hair, so that she couldn't break free, "You come again, come again, your mother just came in the morning, you still dare to come, say what is asking for money to go to school, didn't I just give you a thousand a few days ago, where did you spend the money, and dare to come and ask for it!" ”

Her long hair was pulled by her father, and she reached out to grab his father's arm, but she couldn't shake his father's brute force in the slightest.

During the pulling, her scalp hurt even more, and she had no strength to resist, but she was at the mercy of her father, and even had to cooperate with him, which had reduced the pain in her scalp.

She couldn't hear all the scolding from her father's mouth, and could only feel warm tears falling from her face.

Suddenly, she felt her father grab her arm and stop.

Then she heard a familiar voice ringing in her ears, and the voice said coldly, "Let go of her." ”

She looked up, it was Li Mingyu.

"Who is it! Who are you?! Li Mingyu grabbed his arm violently and threw it back, making him curse and scream in pain.

Soon, both of his hands were tied behind Li Mingyu's back.

Li Lizi raised her head at this time, her hair was scattered, and she looked at Li Mingyu.

She didn't care about what her father had become, and her eyes were completely occupied by Li Mingyu.

Just stared at him intently.

In the course of her brief acquaintance with Li Mingyu in the past, she had never stared at him directly in person like this.

She felt a warm current rising from the bottom of her heart, mixed with happiness, surprise, and a little indescribable, which made her heart beat faster and dizzy.

She was going to go with this man, and from this moment on, she made up her mind. Since then, her heart has a direction, and she is no longer rootless duckweed, floating everywhere.

When Li Mingyu finally completely restrained his father, his father's knees were paralyzed, and he sat on the ground begging for mercy, Li Mingyu let him go.

As soon as Li Mingyu let go, he immediately jumped up from the ground and ran away without a trace.

Only Li Mingyu and Li Lizi were left, standing face to face.

In her impression, Li Mingyu has not seen Li Lizi so positively. Although he still didn't have much expression on his face. Don't even ask what was going on just now, who that person was.

After a while, he said, "Go and eat." ”

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards a nearby restaurant. Li Lizi naturally followed behind him, almost accustomed to following him like this.

It's still a home-cooked restaurant a few days ago.

Li Lizi took the initiative to talk to him about her family and the reason for what happened today.

Li Lizi's parents have been on a bad relationship for a long time, and when she was a child, she often fought and quarreled, and most of the time it was her father who took advantage of her size to beat and scold her mother.

That's it, the mother still didn't take the initiative to file for divorce, and it was only later that the father met other women outside and officially filed for divorce from his wife.

In order to start a family with his new girlfriend, he was unwilling to continue to raise his daughter, so the court ruled that he should provide certain maintenance and subsidies to his ex-wife and children on a regular basis.

But this originally reasonable and legal obligation was always carried out passively by him, as if Li Lizi's mother and daughter were forcibly demanding his money.

Every time, Li Lizi has to come to the door in person, and he will take out the money, and it depends on his mood that day, otherwise he will not give the full amount at all.

As her daughter gets bigger and bigger, the cost is more, her mother has a low education, and the job she finds is often a temporary job.

However, living in a low-income environment all year round, many of her energy has to be scattered into real life, to beg for money, to consider whether the family's expenses are enough, even her mother, is also mentally declining.

She was originally diligent in earning money, but in the aging years, she felt more and more hopeless, but in a hurry, she broke the jar and fell.

That's when she had the idea of taking a break from school to work.

After listening to this long paragraph, Li Mingyu didn't react much, was not shocked, and did not comfort, but only responded softly: "Hmm." ”

When she was about to finish eating, Li Mingyu asked her, "Will you go back later?" ”

Li Lizi looked at him and said directly: "I want to go back with you." ”

Li Mingyu also looked up at her and didn't speak, as if he was asking her what he meant with his eyes.

"Mom didn't ask for money, she should, she would go to her uncle, and she wasn't at home. I want to help you make a meal. Yes, I want to cook for you, you can eat it at home, and I can clean the house for you. As she thought, she said that she wasn't sure what she was thinking.

"No, I don't need housekeeping." Li Mingyu listened to it and immediately refused.

"No, it's not housekeeping." She hurriedly waved her hand, and thought about it, what is the difference between what she said and housekeeping?

There is a difference, although I can't say what the specific difference is, but ......

She thought about it and muttered, "I want to eat with you." ”

Li Mingyu obviously heard what she said, and he was just about to get up from the dinner table, but suddenly stopped and didn't move.

After a moment of silence, he said, "The key is given to you, and if you don't go home later, you will go to me." ”

When he took out the key from the leisure bag next to him and put it on the table, Li Lizi couldn't believe his eyes.

Although he didn't know why Li Mingyu suddenly agreed, he didn't know what his purpose would be. But at this moment, she still took the key without thinking.

She wanted the key, she really wanted to.

In this way, after lunch, they each followed their own plans and acted separately. Li Mingyu continued to go back to work, and Li Lizi took a taxi back to his house.

After discussing, Li Mingyu stuffed some money into Li Lizi's hand. Let her take it with her to spend, don't even have the money for a taxi.

"Also, in the future, let your mother ask him for money by herself, there is no need to come here again, I am going to resign."

Li Mingyu didn't say that if she didn't come to ask for money, what would she do if she didn't have money, she knew that Li Mingyu wouldn't let her go hungry for money, it didn't make any sense, she just knew.

Back at Li Mingyu's residence, she used the key to open the door of the room.

The scene of prudence before leaving that night hit her mind again, but the feeling did not last long, and she was soon forgotten by it, and she stepped on the threshold, looking at the familiar sofa and dining table, and she felt the joy in her heart.
