This road that has been walked for two years is the most lively at this time of day, because the end of the road is a side door, so there are always a few snack trucks that give the city management a headache before self-study every night to receive groups of small gluttonous cats that have been released after being circled for a day.

In fact, it may not be how delicious these seemingly unhygienic snacks are, and most students spend a few dollars to eat even if they are expecting to eat it, as if they are not far from school.

Ji Yuxi's favorite snack is "Aunt Zhang's baked cold noodles", she used to rush to the snack truck at this time every day and shout at Aunt Zhang, "Aunt Zhang, come to a baked cold noodles", and then she would continue to say "Put more vinegar and chili peppers" in a slightly coquettish manner.

At this time, Ji Yuxi stood not far from this familiar car, carrying a heavy piano case, his eyes full of nostalgia and reluctance to recall.

In fact, she really wished that she could still enjoy the happiest time of the day with her best friends as before, but she no longer had a familiar school uniform on her body, and she was just a bystander from another school.

Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure and immediately turned around nervously, for fear of being seen by the other party, but.

"Yuxi!" With a crisp call, Ji Yuxi didn't dare to look back, raised his feet and wanted to leave.

"Ji Yuxi!" The shouts were louder. Ji Yuxi stopped, wanting to turn back, but it seemed that his steps weighed a thousand pounds. As the shouts approached, a man walked up to her quickly and grabbed her by the sleeve.

"Yuxi!" In front of Ji Yuxi was a girl with a student's head combed to her ears, and her eyes suddenly turned red when they looked at each other.

"Where did you go? I have made so many calls to you and none of them have gotten through, we are all worried about you, we keep scrolling through your Weibo every day, staring at your circle of friends, but you have no movement at all! We're in a hurry! The girl's voice gradually became trembling, and she could hear it full of worry and reassurance.

"Tongtong, I~" Ji Yuxi wanted to say but didn't know where to start.

"Yuxi, don't be like this, we all know about your family's affairs, but you don't want to hide by yourself, when you come back, we will always be by your side, you don't want to be alone, okay?" This girl's name is Han Tongtong, Ji Yuxi's former classmate and best friend, and she was almost begging when she said this at this time.

Ji Yuxi paused, and finally couldn't help hugging her, gritting her teeth to prevent her tears from coming out.

"Tongtong, I won't go back to school again, I'm sorry, I've seen the messages you sent and the messages on Weibo, but I don't know how to tell you. Today, I just want to come back and see the familiar places again, and if I'm lucky, I want to see the people I miss. Ji Yuxi let go of Han Tongtong, his eyes didn't dare to look at her, but his tone was very firm.

"Yuxi, I know what you're worried about and afraid of, but your parents' affairs have nothing to do with you, you have to be clear, you are the one who is most hurt in the whole thing, you have lost your loved ones, why can't you see it more thoroughly? Look at Lu Zifei, he has been calm at least since the accident. Hearing this name, Ji Yuxi's heart trembled, and the name Lu Zifei had appeared in her mind countless times over the past year.

"Is he~~ okay?" Ji Yuxi couldn't help but ask Han Tongtong.

"He's okay, although his personality has become a little withdrawn, but at least he continues to come to school every day, but ~~he~" Han Tongtong wanted to speak and stopped.

"What's wrong with him?"

"He doesn't study much anymore, he occasionally skips class, his grades have dropped very seriously, the teacher has talked to him many times, and her mother has also come to school a few times, but it doesn't seem to work, he seems to have made a lot of new friends outside of school, and sometimes he will come to school with a little hurt on his face or something, we suspect that he may fight with someone, but even if he asks, he just smiles and doesn't say anything." Han Tongtong tried to understate it as much as possible, afraid that Ji Yuxi would be worried.

In fact, Lu Zifei and Ji Yuxi knew each other earlier, they have been in the same class since junior high school, and they used to be at the same table, the two of them are like happy enemies, and they have a very good relationship with each other on weekdays, and they also regard each other as opponents in terms of academic performance.

Lu Zifei's parents are both in business, and his father, Lu Peng, became a celebrity in the school because he donated an art classroom to the school.

Among them, Ji Yuxi is the most grateful to Lu Peng, because Ji Yuxi has the same preference for saxophone, so she has always dreamed of being admitted to the highest music school in the country, but the high school curriculum is tight, and she rarely finds time to practice hard.

Since the school has added this art classroom, the school also seems to pay more attention to art candidates, which is reflected in the fact that art candidates can use their spare time or evening self-study time to apply for professional learning, and the art classroom is not only equipped with a variety of traditional musical instruments and Western musical instruments, but also has a variety of professional textbooks for musical instrument examinations.

Ji Yuxi's mother, as a music teacher at the school, will use her connections to help introduce professional trainers after discovering some students who may be successful in the future.

In short, the establishment of this art classroom made Ji Yuxi grateful to Lu Zifei's father, who had only met once.

Ji Yuxi often touched Lu Zifei's head and said, "I always feel that meeting you is the most unlucky thing for me, but fortunately, your father made me change this idea." ”

Lu Zifei would throw off his head and say proudly, "You should be grateful to me, my father who was instigated by me." However, what was supposed to be a good thing was the beginning of all misfortunes.

On that night a year ago, Ji Yuxi clearly remembered that it was Valentine's Day on February 14th, Ji Yuxi, Lu Zifei, Han Tongtong and several other classmates had finished watching the movie and arrived home at nearly 11 o'clock in the evening, but they hadn't seen their mother come back.

The call was made by a police officer, and when Ji Yuxi didn't have time to change her clothes and rushed to the hospital, she was told that her parents had just died in a serious car accident at the same time, and what shocked everyone even more was that the husband and wife were in different cars, and the perpetrator of the accident was Ji Yuxi's father Ji Song! At the same time, he was seriously injured and unconscious, and there was also a man who was in the same car as Ji Yuxi's mother Yuqin, and that man was none other than Lu Zifei's father Lu Peng!

Lu Zifei and his mother waited anxiously in front of the door of the operating room, but the words of the police officer who handled the accident gave everyone present a heavy blow.

"Are you the wife of the injured Lu Peng? Yes, the perpetrator Ji Song confessed when he was dying, the reason why he deliberately caused this car accident was because he found out that his wife Yu Qin had an improper relationship with your husband, Yu Qin died on the spot, and Ji Song was also ineffective in rescuing, we express our regret, you can reserve the right to pursue legal responsibility. The policeman's words were very plain, perhaps because he had seen too many incredible things on weekdays, so compared to the victim's family who collapsed in an instant, his tone was cold and chilling.

Not far away, Ji Yuxi could hear every word clearly, and she collapsed to the ground in an instant, because the blow came so suddenly, she couldn't even cry.

Lu Zifei turned around to see her and quickly ran to her side, and when he wanted to reach out to help this good friend who had known him for many years, his hands suddenly stopped in mid-air.

The words of the police officer just now kept ringing in his ears, and he suddenly remembered how Lu Peng begged him many times to no avail, but after meeting with Yuqin and Ji Yuxi's mother and daughter at a parent-teacher meeting, he readily agreed to invest in the school's art classroom.

It turned out that there was a reason for all this, it turned out that his father, whom he had always respected very much, was so unbearable, he turned his head to look at his mother, this woman named Li Jing usually dominates the shopping mall, but at this time, she leaned on the door of the operating room like a child who had been greatly wronged and cried helplessly.

Suddenly, Ji Yuxi cried loudly, and the crying resounded throughout the third floor of the hospital.

She couldn't believe that this was true, she couldn't believe that her parents died at the same time, she couldn't believe that her mother, who was usually so graceful and upright, would betray her father, she couldn't believe that her father was a deliberate murderer, she couldn't believe that she had become an orphan overnight, and she couldn't believe everything in front of her.

She kept crying and banging her chest frantically, wishing it was a nightmare, she wanted to wake herself up so that she would wake up like the one when she woke up, but no matter how hard she tried, everything in front of her was still the same, nothing changed.

Ji Yuxi's collapsed appearance interrupted Lu Zifei's memories and associations, he pulled Ji Yuxi with both hands and hugged her into his arms, wrapped his left hand around her shoulders, gently stroked her head with his right hand, and comforted in a low voice: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm here, you still have me."

At this time, Lu Zifei is like a mature man, like a powerful person who relies on Ji Yuxi, maybe he likes her more than just a friend, maybe he has already quietly put this girl in his heart, maybe his feelings for her are what others call an ignorant first love or a bitter crush.

However, at this time, he is just a 17-year-old child of the same age as Ji Yuxi, but he tolerates, comforts, and protects this girl who suddenly became an orphan like a piece of sky.

Ji Yuxi hugged Lu Zifei tightly, letting her tears soak Lu Zifei's clothes, her forehead touched the other party's slender neck, so cold, so cold that she kept shivering.

However, how could she not know how much harm her parents' behavior had brought to Lu Zifei and his mother, especially if it was wrong to cheat in marriage, Lu Peng was still being rescued at this time, and he would be in danger of death at any time.

Thinking of this, she tried her best to adjust her breathing, and said to Lu Zifei intermittently: "Yes~~~No~~I'm sorry~~I'm sorry~~I'm sorry~~Lu~~Lu Zifei is sorry."

Lu Zifei endured the heartache and comforted her: "Silly girl, it's not your fault, it has nothing to do with you, it's not your fault." ”

Ji Yuxi still can't remember how she spent that night. Her grandparents came back from abroad to handle the withdrawal procedures for Ji Yuxi, and since then, she has never returned to school, and has cut off contact with everyone, including Lu Zifei.

"Yuxi!" Han Tongtong saw that Ji Yuxi had been in a daze and gently took her hand, "Haven't you been in contact with Lu Zifei either?" We've been asking him about you, thinking you'll be in touch, but he doesn't seem to be able to get in touch with you. ”

"That~ How's his dad doing?" Ji Yuxi asked tentatively.

"It's out of danger, although this matter is outrageous, but it seems that his parents are not divorced, I heard that his mother is still taking care of his father, but we can't ask in detail about the specific situation" Han Tongtong continued: "Yu Xi, you really don't plan to contact Lu Zifei anymore?" He's really a bit depraved now, and it's useless to persuade him."

"I~want~ how to contact him? Although I lost my parents, it is undeniable that if what my dad said is the truth, then it is true that his family was destroyed by my mother, and ~ my dad almost killed his dad. ”

Ji Yuxi said what was in her heart, in fact, after the incident, she wanted to contact Lu Zifei many times but held back, because she couldn't convince herself that all this had nothing to do with her.

She couldn't forget the way Lu Zifei hugged him and endured his sadness that night, just like she occasionally suddenly thought of Lu Zifei's hands that had stopped in mid-air, in her opinion, no matter how much Lu Zifei thought of the friendship between the two of them, it was impossible not to hate her at all and not blame her. She felt that only her complete disappearance was really good for Lu Zifei.

"Yuxi, Lu Zifei will not be angry with you, just like I said, the parents' affairs have nothing to do with you, and you are also victims who have been implicated, not to mention, now you ~ are left alone, you have been living in pain and guilt, it's really unfair."

Han Tongtong has always been so calm and rational, since the day she became classmates with Ji Yuxi, the relationship between the two of them has naturally gotten better and better. Han Tongtong is a very psychologically mature girl, no matter what happens, she is extraordinarily calm, just like her mother usually says, "You understand everything, you just don't understand what you learn", this evaluation is extremely accurate for her.

"Is it really fair to him that he doesn't blame me, or that he shouldn't be angry with me?" Ji Yuxi naturally blurted out to himself.

"Ji Yuxi~" Not far away, someone shouted his name, this voice is so familiar, if it's not him, who will it be?
