Chapter 7:
This button she knew, it should be one of the rows on Professor Lu's body today, and she happened to notice this detail when she was in the car.
Zhao Qi held the button on his fingertips for a long time, and the corners of his mouth inadvertently showed a smile of unknown meaning, and then put it into the makeup case.
Maybe he should find a chance to return it to him, but as for when to pay it back, Zhao Qi has to think about it again.
Recently, Zhao Qi had to go back to her home to get a few slightly thicker clothes, and it happened that there was no class today, so she went to the cafeteria to eat some food and rushed to the subway station near the school.
The finger-thick ice on the ground had no idea of melting, and Zhao Qi regretted that she didn't come out in her snow boots, which made her toes hurt.
Her home is not far from the school, twenty or thirty minutes by subway. After getting off the subway, Zhao Qi sent a WeChat message to his mother: Mom, I'll come back and get something.
When approaching the apartment building, Zhao Qi's steps became slower and slower, didn't he want to go back? Seriously, she didn't think much of it. There can be such a delicate small high-rise in the noisy urban area, and you don't have to think about it to know how expensive the housing prices here are, but when she thinks of the origin of this money, Zhao Qi is irritable.
So obviously the home is very close, Zhao Qi still chose to live in the school.
Zhao Qi saw his mother standing downstairs alone, and also saw himself coming back and trotting to take the things in her hand. "Have you eaten? Cold or not? ”
She was wearing indoor slippers on her feet, and she didn't even wear a pair of socks and her ankles were exposed, Zhao Qi frowned, "Why did you come down, it's so cold outside." "It's like anger, but it's really caring.
"You said you came back, I'll come down and take a look, and pick you up."
Zhao Qi didn't answer again, and followed her into the elevator.
In the empty room, there was nothing else except the conversation between her and her mother, Zhao Min put her daughter's things and went to the bedroom to change into a thicker coat, took her bag and prepared to go out.
Zhao Qi hugged the freshly brewed fruit tea on the sofa, "Mom, are you going out?" ”
Zhao Min was stunned, and her daughter seemed to have forgotten today's day. But after saying that, she was afraid that her daughter would be angry. "I'll go out and I'll be back in a minute."
Zhao Qi suddenly thought of something, and reflexively looked at the date on his phone, and sure enough, it was still December 24. "Mom, do you still believe that my dad ran away?"
Zhao Min didn't want to face this problem, she and her daughter firmly believed in a different position, because of this they quarreled again and again.
In fact, Song Bo had secret contact with her more than once, so she firmly believed that her husband had run away after that incident.
But her daughter is paranoid and believes that he is dead, which makes her very angry, how can anyone who wants her father to die as a daughter!" I'm going to send money to your dad, don't go anywhere if you're at home!"
"Mom, Dad, he's not that kind of person, he won't run away, you understand very well, don't you?"
"Then do you convince me that he's gone! Not even a figure! Didn't you see it with your own eyes? Did your dad message me? For so many years, it is possible that someone else is pretending to be your father, he almost knows about our family affairs, how can it be an outsider! Why don't you choose the facts you see! Is it you or me who is stubborn!"
Zhao Min ignored her and left the house without looking back. That person even knew everything about her previous school age, and even her daughter didn't know some things, and she only told Song Bo alone.
Zhao Qi read those text messages, but she still didn't believe it, the guards were derelict in their duties, the fireworks field exploded, one person was killed and one person was seriously injured, and rumors spread: her father ran away.
No matter which one it is, Zhao Qi doesn't believe it.
Holding back the breath in his heart, Zhao Qi returned to his bedroom. Opening the closet, she stared at the bottom box in the bottom right corner.
It's been four years, and I can't get over the nightmarish existence for four whole years.
An old and yellowed newspaper with holes in it that had been torn by his fingernails, Zhao Qi could now memorize every word, every word, and every sentence on it word for word.
On December 24, 2015, a fireworks and firecrackers field in the suburbs of Shichuan suddenly exploded at 9 p.m., killing a young man on the spot and seriously injuring another person.
Those four words burned Zhao Qi's eyes, and he didn't investigate the matter clearly, so he went to convict others! Why do they say that there is no conclusion to the investigation! His dad won't hurt anyone, and he won't run away!
Because of this incident, Zhao Qi was forced to transfer to another school because of the "special attention" of her classmates at school, and because of some gossip, her mother Zhao Min forcibly changed her surname to let her have a stable future.
After the chaos, she has lived a peaceful life in the past few years.
In Zhao Qi's life, she has a wealthy family, lives in a small bungalow in the city, attends a well-known university in City C, has a cheerful personality, gets a soft scholarship, and is the only favorite of a professor in the Department of Journalism.
As everyone knows, the money used for her small bungalow in the urban area is his father's accident compensation, and what is hidden under her cheerful personality is indifference.
Journalism favorite? It was just that she was desperate to study, because she wanted to have the ability to investigate his father's accident back then.
All the beginnings were for her.
These are all owned by a girl named Zhao Qi.
Even Zhao Qi herself almost forgot that she also had a used name, Song Qi.
Another nightmare, waking up in a cold sweat on my back. Lu Huainian still remembers Chuanzi struggling in the firelight, waving to him for help at hand.
He said: Huainian, she is still waiting for me at home.
But when life and death were imminent, he still did not hesitate to leave the last way of life to himself. The iron door that was desperately closed by Chuanzi separated from life and death and the guilt that could not be paid off for a lifetime, because it was far greater than the cost of losing two of his little arms.
What Chuanzi lost was a life.
Lu Huainian dreamed more than once that Chuanzi cried and told himself that he was in pain. He also often dreamed that Chuanzi asked him if he had taken good care of Jin Chu.
Lu Huainian clearly knew that these dreams that tortured him were the magic obstacles in his own heart, and Chuanzi could not do it in order to save his life, how could he really use this way to make him unhappy. There is nothing in the world at all, Lu Huainian never believed.
But believe it or not, he always has to make up for something, to Chuanzi's girlfriend and his family.
So Lu Huainian compromised, gave up his original plan to go abroad for graduate school, and stayed in China safely.
In the first year of Chuanzi's accident, Jin Chu went to the United Kingdom to study.
In the second year of Chuanzi's accident, Chuanzi's sister got married, and the two elders went to live in City A to live with their daughter, and Lu Huainian gave a single-family house in City A as a gift.
In the third year of Chuanzi's accident, Jin Chu returned to China and got engaged.
In the fourth year of Chuanzi's accident, Chuanzi's sister gave birth to a daughter safely.
This year is the fifth year, Lu Huainian looked at the wedding invitation that was put on the desk, and didn't know what kind of mood he should have for a while.
