12. The wind of the stairway
Jiang Suwan sighed heavily, turned around and left the door of the first class, leaving the light at the door of the first class, and walked towards the darkness step by step, the same route, Wei Ge also passed before her.
Jiang Suwan doesn't like the dark, and even a little afraid of the dark, the darkness can always make her think of a lot of bad pasts.
"Da Da Da"
Jiang Suwan's footsteps sounded in the empty staircase, and the memories of flickering far and near echoed in her mind, and with the sound of her own footsteps, she forced out her sense of fear little by little.
She continued to walk with her head down, trying desperately to escape the memory, but she couldn't escape the shackles of that memory no matter what.
All the depressed emotions struggled to crawl out from the bottom of the box and devour her alive.
[2018]
I can't forget the dark clouds that weighed down the southern town that night, and the fierce expression of the man.
At that time, Jiang Suwan, who was only ten years old, took his grandmother's hand and bought vegetables for the evening at the vegetable market.
Because that day was Jiang Suwan's birthday.
Every 10th anniversary, there will be a big birthday party.
But the family that only relies on grandma to make some fishing nets to earn living expenses is already poor, and the best thing to eat is the occasional fried meat with potatoes, and that meat is only one piece of lean meat out of ten.
These days, in order to save more money for Jiang Su's birthday banquet, grandma stayed up late for many days to catch up with fishing nets, and even received a lot of cheongsam customization.
Finally saved some money one by one, and Grandma Jiang made up her mind to take Jiang Suwan to buy a large piece of beef and buy some crayfish.
When buying beef, the owner of the beef seller found that two hundred dollars were missing from the money box.
And coincidentally, Grandma Jiang was holding two crumpled 100 pieces in her hand.
The night market, which has been almost scattered, no one will notice this side at all.
And the bad-hearted boss also insisted that it was Grandma Jiang who stole the money in her money box.
Grandma's speech was already slow, and the boss was arrogant, not giving people a crack to speak at all, and even verbally insulting.
It was already dark outside the market, but inside the market was dimly lit.
In front of that light, and in the smell of meat, the boss was like an ugly monster that wanted to suck people's blood, making it difficult to breathe.
Jiang Suwan wanted to help her grandmother, but the bad person's expression made her so scared that she could only cry.
She hid in her grandmother's arms, and the fear in her heart gradually took root.
In the end, she couldn't bear to push her grandmother's hand away, grabbed the pieces of meat on the board and smashed them at the disgusting boss again and again.
In the end, he was still angry, and without knowing it, he almost threw the knife on the board.
Fortunately, a big hand stopped her movements at the critical moment.
So it didn't lead to a tragedy.
The feeling of fear and extreme anger made Jiang Suwan's whole person feel as if she had a severe cold.
His gaze stayed on the knife that was almost thrown out, and small beads of sweat oozed from Jiang Suwan's forehead.
"Little sister, how are you?"
A gentle voice woke up the 10-year-old Jiang Suwan, and also woke up the 18-year-old Jiang Suwan.
And when she reacted, she saw clearly who the person in front of her was.
In front of his ten-year-old self was the tall policeman's big brother, and in front of his eighteen-year-old self, he was looking at his Wei Ge worriedly.
Wei Ge was waiting for Jiang Suwan here just now, because he knew that Jiang Suwan didn't like such darkness.
He just knows.
He knew that Jiang Su would come over, so he was willing to wait for her here.
Push away the light, wait for her in the dark, and guard her.
"Wei Ge?"
After Jiang Xu saw Wei Ge in the evening, all those low emotions were blown away by the gentle wind, leaving only An Ran's heart and the urge to call Wei Ge.
Calling out to those you need in a dark place seems to be really empowering.
"Why are you still here......"
And people like Jiang Suwan, after being careful to settle down, their first reaction is self-defense. And her self-defense mechanism is a stiff tone when she speaks.
Many people will hate Jiang Suwan because of this.
But there are also many people who have changed their views on Jiang Su because of this.
But no matter what, Jiang Suwan at this time is just a fragile person, what she needs is not any opinion, but sincere comfort, so that she can let down her guard.
There is no doubt that Wei Ge is this person.
Even if Jiang Suwan's tone was cold, he was more concerned about her situation.
"Are you okay? You didn't answer me just a few times just now, and you ......"
"You're scared of the dark."
Wei Ge, who lacks that playfulness, is particularly pleasing to the eye in Jiang Suwan's eyes.
Jiang Suwan's eyes overflowed with some crystal tears, accompanied by the bursts of sourness, she understood that whether it was her ten-year-old self or her eighteen-year-old self, fortunately they finally felt gentle comfort.
"Why are you still here?"
This time she was silent for a long time before she spoke, and it was still the same sentence, but the meaning of the emotions was obviously different.
Wei Ge looked at the flickering light in her eyes, resisted some impulses, and took a step back to widen the distance between himself and Jiang Suwan.
"I knew you'd be passing through here, so I'm waiting for you here."
“……”
Because he knew that Jiang Su would pass by here, he waited for her at the end of that road early, no matter how long the process was.
Jiang Suwan: "Thank you."
Wei Ge: "Can you tell me now?" Why did you look so scared just now? Who bullied you? ”
Jiang Suwan frowned, and forgot to speak for a while.
Finally, after relieving for a while, she spoke seriously:
"There are a lot of terrible things hidden in the darkness, and if you are not careful, you will be killed."
Wei Ge was a little surprised by the extent of Jiang Suwan's words, nodded, and then asked gently.
"What's in there?"
Jiang Suwan shook her head and gently hooked the corners of her mouth, not knowing whether to state the facts or self-mock, in short, that kind of expression could only make her look more vulnerable.
"There are a lot of knots, but I don't want to tell you, after all, you don't have any right to care, do you?"
Jiang Suwan didn't know why, and suddenly his tone became like this.
It's like every time someone touches his own obscure point, he will become a **, so paranoid that people avoid it.
Jiang Suwan's attitude towards this world is more or less extreme.
Jiang Suwan has pushed away many people in this way since he was a child, and those people are like passengers who get off the train at the station and never come back.
There has never been a person who has always been with her, no matter what moment the destination will come.
The moon was bright that night, and the night air was chillingly thin, as if the hot summer would eventually leave prematurely in the southern towns.
