In the past, the Chinese New Year was a lively family, but this year there is suddenly one less, and the atmosphere is still quite embarrassing.

There were all kinds of delicacies on the table of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and Ding Wei was in good spirits, and he also opened a bottle of treasured aged wine.

"Come on, come on, eat a chicken leg." Ding Wei sandwiched a piece of chicken leg and put it into Ding Xiao's bowl, his eyes full of anticipation. "Try your dad's cooking skills and see if you have grown."

Ding Xiao picked up the chicken leg and took a bite, "It's really good, Dad, your cooking skills are getting better and better, and you're about to catch up with Mom." After a pause, she turned her head to look at Miao Ying, who was sitting sullenly on the side, and added: "Of course, Mom's cooking is always the best, and it can't be compared." ”

Miao Ying glanced at Ding Xiao, wanting to laugh but couldn't. She stared at a large table of dishes, without a single appetite.

Ding Wei was also a little uninterested when he saw Miao Ying like this, but he still said calmly: "It's a big holiday, don't be so bitter." Come and eat a chicken leg and see how thin you've been lately. ”

Miao Ying felt an inexplicable irritability, she slapped her chopsticks on the table, put her hands around her chest and said in a bad tone: "Eat, eat, there is one less person in the family, how can I have an appetite to eat!" ”

Ding Xiao pursed his lips and looked at Ding Wei, Ding Wei also put the chopsticks on the table, and his tone was still gentle: "Didn't the bell come back, maybe it was a little frightened and didn't want to travel a long distance." Let her feel the excitement of the Spring Festival in the big city, isn't Ning Bai accompanied? Xiaoxiao also said that the Lantern Festival will bring the bell back. ”

"Then we have been worried about her for so long, and she doesn't think about us two old people at all?" It seems that Miao Ying is angry with Ding Zhong.

"Mom, don't be angry for the New Year. During the Lantern Festival, I will definitely bring the bell back to see you, no, I will call the bell now. Saying that, Ding Xiao got up and went to get her mobile phone, she just wanted to dial Ding Zhong's phone, but Ding Deng's phone came in one second faster than her.

"Hey, Bang Bang, I just wanted to call you." Ding Xiao had a happy smile on his face, sat at the dinner table and pressed his mobile phone on the speakerphone.

"Happy New Year, sister." Ding Zhong's voice came from the other side of the phone, and his tone was joyful. There was some noise around her, probably playing outside with Ning Bai.

"Happy New Year, Mom and Dad are also beside you, you can say a few words to Mom." As he spoke, Ding Xiao moved his phone to Miao Ying. Miao Ying's face softened a lot, and before she could speak, Ding Zhong said, "Mom, Dad, Happy New Year!" I wish you all good health and success in the new year! ”

Ding Wei was very happy to listen to Ding Zhong's words, and he grabbed in front of Miao Ying and spoke: "Girl, you also have a happy New Year, take good care of yourself outside." In the new year, we should do a good job in our studies and pay attention to our own physical health. ”

"I know Le Dad."

Miao Ying took the mobile phone in Ding Xiao's hand a little unhappily, got up and walked to the balcony.

"Bang bell." As soon as Miao Ying spoke, her nose suddenly became sore. Tears rolled in her eyes, and the heat blurred in front of her eyes.

"Mom."

"You've been suffering for a while, and my mother feels sorry for you and wants to see you. See if you've lost weight, if you've been bullied......"

Ding Zhong heard the crying in Miao Ying's anger, her heart suddenly twitched, and her feet standing on the edge of the rooftop took two steps back.

This is the highest floor in the community where she lives, the rooftop on the sixth floor.

She didn't come to see the scenery, she just wanted to come up and make one last call home. But when she heard Miao Ying crying on the phone, she hesitated.

"Mom, I'm fine."

"Bang Bang, Mom hopes you're doing well. If you are well, Mom and Dad will be healthy. Mom and your dad's biggest wish is that you and your sister are all well, and you can find someone to accompany you for life in the future. ”

Ding Zhong lowered his eyes, "Yes." ”

"Are you coming back for the Lantern Festival? Mommy really misses you and wants to see you. ”

Back? Ding Zhong looked up at the high-rise buildings with bright lights, and the traffic was busy.

It's almost 12 o'clock, and there will be fireworks on the river to celebrate the arrival of the new year.

In the new year, can anything really be renovated? Ding Zhong remembered what Li Le had said to her in the morning.

"Bell!" Ning Bai's anxious voice came from behind, Ding Zhong turned around, and saw Ning Bai, who was carrying a large bag and a small bag, standing in front of the rooftop door with a sweaty head. "Bang Bang, you're really here, what are you going to do?"

After a brief moment of stunnedness, Ding Zhong took a deep breath and changed his expression. "Call my mom, there will be fireworks going off, and I'll watch a fireworks by the way."

Ning Bai frowned and walked closer to Ding Zhong.

Ding Zhong was indeed on the phone, and the talk lasted ten minutes. It took him more than ten minutes to go to the convenience store downstairs to buy something just now.

"It's cold here, let's go down and get dressed." Although Ding Deng's mood has been much more optimistic recently, Ning Bai is still not at ease.

"I think it's okay. Mom, I won't tell you yet, Happy New Year! ”

Miao Ying was also much relieved when she heard Ning Bai's voice. If you don't go back, you won't go back, just if the child is fine. "Okay, okay, then hang up."

Hanging up the phone, Ding Zhong put the phone in his pocket.

"Your mobile phone ......" Ning Bai found that Ding Deng's mobile phone was the latest this year, and it was quite expensive. He knew that Ding Deng's mobile phone had been lost, and he was saving money to buy her one.

"This one was given to me by a friend of my sister." Ding Dangfeng said lightly.

"Sister Ding Xiao's friend?" Ning Bai thought of Lu Yuanhao.

"Well, he's pretty handsome, and he's tall."

Sure enough, it was Lu Yuanhao...... Ning Bai knew that the person Lu Yuanhao liked was Ding Xiao, and giving Ding Deng's mobile phone was just to get closer to Ding Xiao. However, Ning Bai still felt sour and a little unhappy.

Probably guessing what Ning Bai was thinking, Ding Zhong sneered. "Jealous?"

"What kind of vinegar do I eat, it was given to you by your future brother-in-law, why am I eating this vinegar?" Ning Bai's mouth turned his head stiffly, and Ding Deng's smile became stronger.

After laughing, she couldn't help but sigh, lamenting that such a beautiful thing appeared after she lost her body.

Ning Bai is such a good boy, she is not worthy of him.

The fireworks fly into the sky at twelve o'clock sharp, and the gorgeous fireworks cover the eyeballs, and the beauty makes people sigh.

Ning Bai and Ding Zhong stood on the rooftop to watch the fireworks, Ning Bai held Ding Zhong's arm tightly, and made a wish in his heart.

And Ding Zhong looked at the fireworks, but his head was full of bright red blood. She heard Ding Xiao say that Xia Luoqing was not dead and was rescued. She suddenly wanted to go and see Xia Luoqing.

It was nine o'clock the next morning, and Ning Bai took her to the hospital.

Originally, before he went, Ding Deng hated Xia Luoqing very much, and wanted to scold her after seeing her.

But when she arrived at the hospital, when she saw Xia Luoqing lying on the hospital bed with a bloodless face, those dirty words were stuck in her throat.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Xia Luoqing's family spent time in the hospital.

Xia Luoqing couldn't speak now, and she still had medicine in her mouth. Both of her wrists were wrapped in thick gauze, and she didn't even have the strength to lift them.

Seeing Ding Deng, Xia Luoqing was very excited. She also felt regret and guilt for betraying Ding Zhong at the beginning, and she also thought that Ding Deng would not come back.

"Can you go out for a bit? I want to be alone with her. Ding Zhong said.

Ning Bai and Lan Xi left the ward, and after the ward door closed, Ding Zhong sat on Lan Xi's chair. She looked at Xia Luoqing, "Your boyfriend...... Didn't come back? ”

Xia Luoqing nodded, she wanted to speak, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she felt pain. Ding Zhong said again: "The murderer was not caught, I was just lucky to be rescued." But I felt that my soul had died that night. ”

Xia Luo was puzzled.

"I'm scared to see the sun."

As soon as Ding Zhong said this, Xia Luoqing instantly understood. She lowered her eyes, thinking to herself, why didn't she want to die like this?

From crying silently to finally breaking down and crying despite the wound in her mouth, the last line of defense in Xia Luoqing's heart collapsed. Ding Zhong just looked at her quietly, not knowing how to speak.

Coming out of the hospital, Ning Bai obviously found that Ding Deng's mood was heavier than before. He tried to make Ding Zhong happy, and also wanted to take her to nearby attractions to play. Ding Zhong excused himself to be tired, so he went home early and lay in bed, not even eating lunch.

Li Le is a native of Fancheng, and she has been paying close attention to Ding Zhong's movements in the past few days.

In fact, she was actually paying attention to Ning Bai, but Ning Bai had been staying with Ding Deng, and she found out that Ding Zhong was wrong.

It stands to reason that it should be happy to be rescued after being kidnapped. But Ding Deng's face looked like a kind of despair that saw through the world, was he kidnapped for so many days, could it be ......

Li Le thought about it for several days and watched several movies about kidnapping. In the end, she determined that the abductee must have been sexually assaulted, which is why he became like this.

Ning Bai is such an excellent boy, how can he accept a tainted Ding Zhong? Li Le didn't allow it, so she called Ning Bai. Who knew that Ning Bai hung up her phone directly, and she was able to send a text message to tell Ning Bai bluntly that she could only call Ding Deng.

Ding Zhong had a bad impression of her, but she hit three times in a row, and Ding Zhong took it.

On the phone, Li Le said that he wanted to talk to Ding Zhong about something, and asked Ding Deng to come out to meet alone. Ding Zhong decisively refused, and Li Le said: "Is that the only one who knows about that matter?" ”

Ding Zhong was stunned for a moment, and his expression became nervous: "What are you talking about?" ”

"One thing you care so much about, you should be able to guess what I'm talking about." Li Le is not 100% sure, so he said tentatively.

"What do you want to do?"

"I want to meet with you and have a good talk, do you have time to come out?"

"Where?"

"There are no shops open on the first day of the Lunar New Year, so it's better to go to the mountain behind the school. I'll be waiting for you there at four o'clock in the afternoon. ”

"Okay."

"You're only allowed to come alone, I guess you don't want too many people to know this secret, do you?"

Ding Zhong's eyes narrowed, and the hand holding the phone tightened a little. She knew that Li Le liked Ning Bai, so she said, "Ning Bai knows." ”

Li Le thought about it, but he didn't expect it to be true. A vicious look flashed in her eyes, and her tone became cold: "That...... What about your good sisters? You know? ”

“……”

"If you don't want them to know, come here!" After speaking, Li Le hung up the phone.
