That voice wasn't familiar to Light Dust.

The clatter of bags, the clattering of boxes, and the sound of someone pulling on a key.

"Light dust? Light dust? Speak! Lin Qingchen! A voice suddenly came from the phone, she covered her phone all of a sudden, she forgot that she was still talking to Duan Yi, the voice outside the door stopped, and Qingchen was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat.

She cut off the phone and crept into the bathroom.

Duan Yi looked at the phone that was cut off, didn't stop for a second, picked up the car key and walked to the elevator.

As soon as the elevator came down, he turned around and ran down the stairs.

The floor of Palm Springs is as high as 40 floors, and Duan Yi lives on the 32nd floor, and if the elevator is smooth, he can get to the bottom of the building in an average of five to seven minutes, and Duan Yi takes four minutes to get downstairs.

The black car drove out at a gallop, but when he got to the main road, he found that there was a traffic jam, and Qingchen's phone call never answered, and he called several to no avail.

The car on the main road was still moving slowly, and he was impatient, so he made a phone call and asked someone to drive his car, get out of the car, close the door, and run, all in one go.

At six o'clock in the evening on Huai'an Road in winter, the street lamps were lit up one after another.

If people are stuck in traffic on Huai'an Road on this day, they should see a handsome man running on Huai'an Road, and if you see him, don't be surprised, because he is busy trying to save his girl.

His heart was pounding, the wind was blowing in his ears, the noisy crowd had nothing to do with him, he only had the road ahead in front of him that seemed to be inexhaustible, and there was only light dust in his heart.

Countless light dust appearances, happy, sad, and frowning, were all in his mind, and frame by frame exploded like a movie.

It's closer, it's almost there, I've seen the convenience store where Qingchen bought alcohol, and if you turn a corner, you can see the floor where she lived before.

When he arrived, he saw a dusty white car parked in the parking space.

There was another crackling sound at the door,

"Light dust, it's me, don't be afraid."

Qingchen shrank in the corner of the balcony, and her hanging heart relaxed when she heard Duan Yi's voice, and she stumbled when she stood up.

When Duan Yi came in, he saw her half-squatting there, and he walked over quickly to hug her.

"I'm not afraid."

She grabbed his clothes and moved slightly, "My legs are numb, I can't move." ”

Duan Yi squatted down against the wall and let her sit on his lap, "Rest for a while before leaving." ”

The street lamp in the community hit the balcony and hit Qingchen's back, Duan Yi touched her hand, sweating with one hand, and clutching a box with the other.

"Did you come back to get this?"

She hummed, not wanting to say more, and Duan Yi didn't continue to ask, just continued to squeeze her hand, and occasionally helped her rub her legs.

"Are you afraid?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qingchen's tears came out, one after another, and big drops fell in front of her clothes, Duan Yi's hand rubbing her legs stopped suddenly, hugged her tightly in his arms, and patted her back.

"Don't be afraid, brother is here."

"Don't cry, brother is here, don't be afraid, Xiaochen'er."

He found her face, kissing here, kissing there, forehead, eyes, nose, mouth, nowhere it fell.

He even kissed her tears.

Qingchen looked at Duan Yi's face with teary eyes, and suddenly remembered the seventeen-year-old Duan Yi, this face was only more mature, but its owner was almost the same.

Seventeen-year-old Duan Yi, sixteen-year-old Lin Qingchen.

The winter vacation of Lincheng No. 1 Middle School ended early, and Duan Yi didn't see a few people when he entered the school gate.

As he walked up the stairs, he passed by a group of young girls, whose eyes were undisguised admiration, shyness, and complaint.

There was no light dust in the classroom, only her schoolbag with worn corners was left on the seat, Duan Yi lifted her heavy schoolbag and walked out of the classroom.

There was no one in the sports equipment room, and there was no one in the abandoned classroom, Duan Yi found it and still didn't find Qingchen.

The security guard had already come with a flashlight to catch up with people, and Duan Yi said that he would leave when he went to the toilet, and the men's and women's toilets were divided on both sides, and it was too quiet.

There was the sound of ticking water in the women's bathroom, and there was a faint sound of sobbing.

"Light dust?"

The crying stopped, and with it the sound of howling and dust,

"I... I'm in it, Duan Yi, I'm afraid..."

The schoolbag was thrown outside, Lin Qingchen was locked in the toilet, and when Duan Yi opened the door, a mouse came out.

Qingchen was wet all over, his hair was still dripping, the blue school uniform of Lincheng No. 1 Middle School turned dark blue, and the white sweater inside was covered with water stains one by one, and Qingchen shrank crampedly in the corner.

"Don't be afraid, brother is here." He stepped forward to pull her and carried her out of the bathroom.

There was an unknown smell on her body, it was the smell of washing mop water, Duan Yi hugged her with his left hand, and his right hand was squeezed tightly, and the green tendons were violent.

He took off his dusty coat and put his cotton coat on her, holding his schoolbag in one hand and his wet school uniform in the other.

Qingchen was still shrinking, Duan Yi stood straight in front of her in a thin gray sweater, and then took her up,

"Let's go home."

Mother Lin was not at home as always, Qingchen was taking a bath, Duan Yi was waiting for her outside, she was going to call him in a few minutes, and he responded patiently outside.

The light dust was washed out, there was no hair dryer at home, Duan Yi changed two towels to dry her hair and help her comb it neatly.

Qingchen curled up on the sofa, Duan Yi combed her hair behind her back, and after combing, Duan Yi hugged her into his arms from behind, and kept kissing her ears.

"I'm sorry." He apologized.

I'm sorry, I shouldn't have let you go home alone when I got sick, I'm sorry I didn't protect you...

Qingchen's ears were kissed red, although he was scared, he kept shaking his head and saying that it didn't matter, and the pale pink pajama pants gradually appeared with water stains one after another.

"Okay, stop crying."

There was a sound of the door opening the door, and Mother Lin came back.

Duan Yi sat upright on the sofa, Qingchen was lying on the side doing homework, and when he saw Mother Lin coming back, Duan Yi got up,

"If there's anything you don't know, come and ask me tomorrow, I'll go home first."

Qingchen nodded, and Duan Yi bent slightly to Lin Mu and left.

"Why did he come to the house again?" Mother Lin scolded her.

Qingchen lowered his head and didn't speak, writing his homework seriously, Lin Mu passed by Qingchen, and a faint smell of wine mixed with inferior perfume wafted over, and Qingchen covered his mouth and nose.

"If you don't study well, you only know how to seduce men, if it weren't for my mother, would you still be where you are today?"

"You're not doing your homework here, you don't know which man died under you!"

Qingchen knew that she was drunk, so she didn't care, just silently put away her schoolbag and Duan Yi's coat and went back to the bedroom.

I don't know if Duan Yi is cold or not, so he went back wearing a sweater, he was obviously still sick and had a fever.

The next morning, Mother Lin went out, and Qingchen went to his house to look for him with Duan Yi's cotton clothes, but only saw his grandmother humming with a sewing machine at the door.

She went to find Zhang Yi, and Zhang Yi was not at home.

Out of Chunxi Road, she saw Duan Yi and Zhang Yi in the alley across the street, as well as a group of girls.

The girls are divided into two factions, and there is a leader in both piles, both of whom have bullied Qingchen.

Duan Yi beckoned to the two girls and said something, and then the two of them walked into the alley with the people behind them.

Duan Yi and Zhang Yi have been standing in place, Zhang Yi is jumping up and down in a bright yellow down jacket, and Duan Yi is quietly leaning against the wall in a blue school uniform.

"Translation, what you said is true? Whoever wins the battle will you be with whom? Zhang Yi asked him.

Duan Yi chuckled lightly, but before he spoke,

"Who is he going to be with?"

As soon as he turned around, Qingchen in a pink down jacket stood there holding his black coat, with a calm face.

"Ah, the light dust is here." Zhang Yi walked over with a haha, "You heard it wrong, it's nothing." ”

Qingchen threw away the cotton clothes and left, Zhang Yi hurriedly followed, and Duan Yi walked up a few steps and grabbed her wrist.

"Angry what? Don't you know why I did it? ”

They are not really together in name, and no one speaks, but that feeling has always been with them, lingering around them, and they can't let go, and even Zhang Yi can't melt into it at some moments.

"What does it have to do with me if you do this?"

Zhang Yi was overwhelmed by their dumb riddles, and seeing that the atmosphere between the two was a little stiff, he walked up with Duan Yi's clothes.

"Translation, or you wear..."

"No, we're going to talk." Duan Yi interrupted him, Zhang Yishan withdrew his hand, and continued to jump up and down to watch the group of girls fight.

Qingchen was grabbed by him and went to the other side.

Seventeen-year-old Duan Yi had already grown taller, more than a head taller than Qingchen, he lowered his head to pull Qingchen's hand, but she avoided him.

"Are you cold?" He asked her in a soft voice, not in the same sharp tone as he had just spoken.

Qingchen didn't turn his head and ignored him, Duan Yi persevered and continued to grab her hand, Qingchen simply put it in his pocket and pretended it, but he didn't expect Duan Yi to take the opportunity to reach into her pocket and hug her.

Duan Yi was clinging to the cold wall, and in front of him was the hot light dust, and they hugged around the corner, and occasionally passers-by would look at them in surprise, but they were all glared back by Duan Yi's eyes.

It's only a few steps away from Chunxi Road, which is one world and another world outside Chunxi Road.

Everyone in Chunxi Road is in danger, avoiding the Lin family like a snake and scorpion, avoiding the forest and light dust like a snake and scorpion, and no one approaches her, except for Duan Yi and Zhang Yi.

There are many mouths in Chunxi Road, and each mouth says something different, but when the cowardly people find a target to attack, they begin to attack it in groups, and every ordinary place can be found to have shortcomings.

The Lin family is the target of this attack, but no one has ever said that Qingchen is an innocent person.

Duan Yi didn't say it, because he was protecting Qingchen with practical actions, and he was protecting Qingchen with his own small side of the world In this place across the road from Chunxi Road, he gave her a reason to survive with his hug.
