There are many powerless things in a person's life, the time that has passed, the origin that has not been chosen, the inexplicable loneliness, the helpless forgetting, and the inevitable death.

Just got off the train Xia Qiyue raised his head and looked at the sky, Wuwan Town, a small town that will live for more than two years in the future, is not prosperous, and it seems to be a little dilapidated, if it weren't for the boy who poured sulfuric acid on herself, maybe she is still in the sea market and those top students secretly fighting for results, life is probably like this, full of accidents and helplessness.

Xia Qiyue was a little uneasy, raised her hand and pulled the mask on her face, lowered her head and put on the big hat of the sweatshirt again, only a pair of clear and firm big eyes leaked, no matter where she was, her goal has never changed.

It is worth comforting that the current weather in Wuwan Town is warm and comfortable, there is no torrential rain, and there is no scorching sun, which makes Xia Qiyue, who was originally in a panic, calm down a little, and the pale little hand hidden in the wide sleeves pulled up the suitcase and walked out of the train station with the surge of the crowd, facing the unfamiliar environment and strange people, and tightly held the schoolbag belt on his shoulder.

Before he got out of the station, he saw a boy sitting crookedly on the stone steps with a cigarette in his mouth, full of ruffians, messy hair and shaking right leg, which made Xia Qiyue frown slightly, and paused for a moment and walked towards him with a suitcase.

The boy who was sitting with his head crooked felt that someone was coming, raised his head and looked at her impatiently: "Xia Qiyue? ”

"Cousin." Xia Qiyue responded that when she saw the boy's photo from her adoptive father's mobile phone, Xia Qiyue was actually a little repulsed, because just a glance made her feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

"Let's go, it's really troublesome, it's not a child, and you have to be picked up." Xu Zhi snorted, stood up and patted the soil on his pants, didn't look at Xia Qiyue again, threw away the cigarette butt casually, and walked forward quickly. Xia Qiyue walked quickly to keep up, at this time there were still a lot of people at the train station, a little slower can only see the head in front of him without looking back, the surrounding hawkers and crowded crowds, uneasy emotions slowly surged into his heart, Xia Qiyue's forehead was slightly sweaty, and he wiped a handful of his hand to speed up his pace.

I don't know how long I walked and finally arrived at my aunt's house, it was an old building in an old community, the color of the walls was yellow and black, and there were a few black garbage bags crooked next to the aisle, exuding a faint fishy smell. There is a small vegetable market not far from this building, it is very noisy, Xia Qiyue twisted his eyebrows, followed up to the third floor, Xu Zhi opened the door Xia Qiyue followed in, as soon as she entered the house, a choking spicy smell made her can't help coughing a few times, hearing the voice Xu Zhi looked back at her and frowned: "Why are you still wearing a mask and hat?" After speaking, he was about to reach out and want to pick it up for her, Xia Qiyue took a step back with the suitcase, and Xu Zhi scolded her and glanced at her with annoyance: "Love to pick it up or not, who wants to see your disfigured ugly appearance." ”

Xia Qiyue didn't say anything, Xu Zhi shouted towards the kitchen: "The person has come back." He turned around and went to the refrigerator to get a bottle of cold beer and went into the house, slamming the bedroom door shut.

"July? Arrived? Go wash your hands and come and serve me food. A woman's deafening shout came from the kitchen.

"Hmm." Xia Qiyue took a breath, took off her hat, took off her mask and put it in her pocket, looked around to make sure that there was no one in the bathroom, washed her hands and went into the kitchen.

"Auntie." Xia Qiyue shouted softly.

When my aunt heard the voice, she looked back at Xia Qiyue, and what caught her eye was the shocking scar on her face, and she couldn't help but be shocked: "July! Your face hurts a little badly!? Xia Qiyue touched the left side of his face and nodded, pointing to the dishes on the table: "Are these all brought in?" ”

Aunt didn't answer and was still looking at her, the surprise in her eyes couldn't be calmed down for a long time, Xia Qiyue smelled the smell of burnt paste, looked at the dishes that were still in the pot and whispered: "Auntie, it's paste." ”

"Ahh My aunt hurriedly turned her head and stir-fried the dishes in the pot, and hurriedly said: "I'm sorry July, you can bring these over first, and this one dish, you can eat it when it's fried, you can also serve the rice in the living room first, thank you, July." Xia Qiyue replied that it was okay to serve the food and put it on the table outside, and as soon as the rice was served, the mobile phone in his pocket buzzed and vibrate.

Xia Qichao walked over and pressed the answer button.

"Did you get to my aunt's house in July?" The man's gentle and loving voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Dad, I'm here." Xia Qiyue rarely showed a smile on his face and said softly, on the other end of the phone is Xia Qiyue's adoptive father Yang Qian, Yang Qian loves her very much, Xia Qiyue was adopted by Yang Qian when she was four years old, Yang Qian was born infertile, his legs are not very good, he did not marry a wife and have children, but he has always wanted to have a hope or a thought in his heart.

When he went to the orphanage, among the many children, Yang Qian fell in love with the poor girl sitting in the corner at a glance, with a pair of big eyes in a daze, but the children who were not good at words and noisy were always distressing. The dean said that it was summer when she was picked up, and there was a note in her swaddling clothes, which said that July 11 should be her birthday, so she had the name Xia Qiyue.

The four-year-old child had already begun to remember, and after Yang Qian took her back, he didn't change her name in order to consider her emotions.

The other end of the phone seemed to be relieved and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good to arrive, take good care of yourself in July, and tell your dad if you are short of money, don't worry about food and clothing." Yang Qian still said to her gently.

Xia Qiyue nodded and said softly: "Dad, don't worry, I still have money, what you gave me before I came, and what I worked part-time before." Xia Qiyue knew that he was not Yang Qian's biological child since he was a child, but he was better than his own child, and his growing up environment made Xia Qiyue mature and sensible early, never spending more money, nor spending money like other girls to dress up, refreshing short hair, simple dressing, is her favorite look. Usually during the holidays, I will also do some part-time jobs, supplement my family or save a little pocket money for myself to reduce Yang Qian's burden, after all, there are still many places for an art student to spend money in the future.

"Well, July has grown up." Although Yang Qian was tired, Xia Qiyue still heard his adoptive father's somewhat hoarse voice from the phone, and asked in a low voice that he wanted to cry: "Is Dad's side okay?" If it weren't for himself, Yang Qian wouldn't have to go out to work at this age, thinking of this, Xia Qiyue was a little distressed.

Yang Qian smiled: "Dad is very good, the salary here is also good, in addition to your temporary living expenses and tuition fees, maybe you can save some more." As if thinking of something, Yang Qian paused, and continued in a soothing tone: "July, if you feel comfortable in your heart, take off the fake scars on your face, girls are so young for a few years, and Dad still hopes that you can be beautiful every day." ”

Xia Qiyue lowered his eyes when he heard this, and remembered the reason for coming here to attend high school.

Xia Qiyue has been very beautiful since she was a child, she is the kind of girl who will not be forgotten at a glance, it is no exaggeration to say that the boys who chase her from elementary school to high school can have most of the school, but her mind has never been on falling in love, she just wants to study hard and work hard to be admitted to a good university to repay Yang Qian's nurturing grace.

Maybe life is that there will be a lot of unhappiness, the first few days of high school, I pursued her in junior high school before, and the boy who was older than her was in the second year of high school in this school, and when I saw Xia Qiyue again, the boy still confessed to her, and Xia Qiyue still refused because of her studies.

This boy is a rich second generation, the family has always wanted what to give, in Xia Qiyue's body was frustrated one after another and went to the extreme, on the way home from school, when the boy saw that there was no one around, he poured sulfuric acid on Xia Qiyue.

Xia Qiyue usually has the habit of wearing hats, and she reacted fairly quickly at that time, raising her arm to block her face, although the concentration of sulfuric acid was not high, it did not burn her flesh fiercely, but it also left a hideous scar on her arm.

Because there were no pedestrians on the road, the boy's family was rich and powerful, and Xia Qiyue only lost money in exchange for reason, and he didn't even apologize, Yang Qian was angry, but the daughter he was holding in his hand was splashed with sulfuric acid, even if there was no scar on his face, he was resentful in his heart.

The next day, I went to the boy's house to ask for an apology, the two sides argued, Yang Qian beat the boy, and also moved with the adults of their family, the boy's father relied on the relationship to make Yang Qian lose his job, and also abused Xia Qiyue, and hyped up that he was a fox spirit at a young age, and seduced their son to have such a thing, and finally forced Xia Qiyue to drop out of school.

This incident made Xia Qiyue, who returned home, depressed for half a year, and Yang Qian looked at her daughter, who had always been sensible, becoming more and more depressed, and felt sad, worried that if she continued to stay here, it was likely that her life would be affected by those gossips. There was no other way but to contact relatives, that is, Xia Qiyue's aunt who is now called, and the living expenses of 2,000 yuan a month allowed her to live until she graduated from high school, and Yang Qian had lost her job, and in order to earn more money, she had to go to the big city to work at this age.

Thinking of this, Xia Qiyue felt extremely guilty, if it weren't for his face, he wouldn't have brought such a big trouble, and suppressed his sad emotions and whispered: "Dad, I... Let's stick it first, that's good. ”

Yang Qian was not surprised to hear Xia Qiyue's answer, he understood that this matter had left a lot of shadow in Xia Qiyue's heart, and raised his voice and pretended to be relaxed: "Okay, listen to July, as long as July is good, Dad will be happy." ”

"Well, dad should also take care of himself and smoke less." Xia Qiyue adjusted her mood and tried her best to reassure her adoptive father.

"Dad knows, July will call my aunt, right? Dad and she had a few words. Yang Qian still spoke softly.

"Hmm." Xia Qiyue turned around and saw that her aunt had just put down the plate of tiger skin spicy peppers that were a little mushy, and was undressing her apron, and walked over and handed her the phone: "Auntie, my father's phone." ”

My aunt took the phone without saying a word, stretched out her finger and pointed to the back room, then turned around and went to the balcony to answer, Xia Qiyue walked over and knocked on the door three times: "Cousin, it's time to eat." An impatient voice came from inside: "I hear you! It's noisy, and I can't sleep well on the big weekend. ”
