Xia Luoqing's parents have come to Fancheng and rented a small house near Fancheng First People's Hospital to take care of her who is still hospitalized.

When Ning Bai walked to the hospital, he happened to bump into Lan Xi, who was delivering food to Xia Luoqing. Lan Xi is Xia Luoqing's mother, who is a little thin and looks like she is in her forties.

Xia Luo was transferred from the intensive ward to the ordinary ward early in the morning, and she was hospitalized for another month.

Seeing Ning Bai standing at the door of the ward, Lan Xi stood up and walked to the door. "Is it Qingqing's friend?"

Ning Bai didn't speak, just looked at Xia Luoqing who was lying on the hospital bed indifferently.

This was the second time he had seen Xia Luoqing. The first time I saw her, she was still in a coma, not much better than now.

"Auntie, can I say a few words to her alone?" Although Xia Luoqing is miserable, what about Ding Zhong? If she hadn't betrayed Ding Zhong, she wouldn't have ended up like this, right? She is to blame for everything!

Lan Xi turned to look at Xia Luoqing, "Qingqing, do you know her?" ”

Xia Luoqing was lying on the hospital bed, her eyes blank. Hearing this, she turned her head to look at the door and shook her head.

Don't recognize? Lan Xi's face changed suddenly, and he felt that Ning Bai in front of him might be a bad person.

She grabbed Ning Bai's hand with a fierce gaze: "Who are you?" My daughter is like this, what else do you want to do? As she spoke, she reached into her pocket with her other hand and took her mobile phone to call the police. Ning Bai still said unhurriedly: "Auntie, I am also a family member of the victim. I came to Xia Luoqing to have a few words with her. ”

Lan Xi's excited emotions stopped instantly, she looked at Ning Bai's white appearance, and let go: "If you have anything to say, just say it, I won't leave the ward." ”

……

After a brief silence, Ning Bai turned to leave.

Seeing Xia Luoqing like this, Ning Bai didn't know how to settle accounts with her.

Beat her up? Even if you beat it, it won't change anything, it's just an outgas.

Ning Bai left the hospital and walked on the way to Ding Xiao's house.

The smell of the New Year is getting stronger and stronger, and the streets and alleys are full of red lanterns at any time, and even the street lamps and trees next to the road are hung up, adding warmth to the snow-white city.

Ning Bai walked slowly in the middle of the road with his hands in his pockets.

The streets that used to be bustling with traffic are now very depressed, and he hasn't walked so leisurely for a long time.

Thinking about the time when Ding Zhong disappeared, he didn't know what he was doing every day, but he was busy all the time, and he couldn't stop.

"Bell bell bell—"

After walking for about ten minutes, the phone in my pocket rang. Ning Bai picked up his mobile phone and saw that the caller was Ding Xiao.

Ding Xiao had already arrived home and asked Ning Bai when he would go back. Ning Bai said later, he wanted to breathe outside.

At the end of the brief conversation, Ding Xiao hung up the phone and looked at Ding Zhong lying on the bed. "Bang Bang, Ning Bai said he would come back later."

Ding Zhong's eyes were still very hollow and lackluster. Hearing Ding Xiao's words, her expression darkened again.

"It's okay, he's going to be fine." Ding Xiao patted Ding Zhong's back comfortingly, and his voice was unusually gentle: "Go to bed early, my sister will always be with you." ”

The warm voice flowed into Ding Zhong's heart. Ding Zhong's cold heart finally had a hint of tenderness, she nodded lightly and closed her eyes.

Ding Xiao continued to pat Ding Zhong's back to coax her to sleep. Three minutes later, she stood up and prepared to take a shower.

It's really tiring after a long day, but it's all over.

The stone in Ding Xiao's heart finally landed. She felt like a heavy release, a little light.

But what she wouldn't have imagined was that the danger was still around and very close.

Ding Xiao's return home has been known to Jin Lizi, who lives next door. But he will not be reckless to kidnap Ding Xiao, because the most important thing now is to leave Fancheng.

Because there are too many people involved in this case, the real murderer has not yet been caught, so the news no longer reports on this case.

Jin Lizi hid in the house and didn't know anything about the outside world, and He Yong's phone couldn't get through.

couldn't get through He Yong's phone, he probably guessed that He Yong should have had an accident.

He Yong couldn't be contacted, so he could only find a way to save his life first. But you can't just leave, after all, this house has not been rented for a long time. The wind outside is still very tight, and it is easy to arouse suspicion if he says go and walk in this joint.

And Ning Bai said that he was coming to the party, but he didn't stay home all night, and the phone couldn't get through.

It wasn't until noon the next day that he called Ding Xiao back, saying that he was busy with something, and asked Ding Xiao to take Ding Zhong to a place in the evening.

Ding Xiao guessed that Ning Bai must be going to surprise Ding Zhong, so he agreed.

There are only six days left before the Chinese New Year, and the weather today is exceptionally clear, and the snow on the ground and tiled houses has melted a little.

At six o'clock in the evening, Ding Xiao carefully dressed up Ding Deng. Ding Zhong looked at himself in the mirror in a trance, wanted to laugh, but felt that it was difficult.

Ding Xiao put his hands on Ding Zhong's shoulders and said affectionately: "Look, how beautiful our bell is, it's like a fairy descending to earth!" Just let me take our little fairy to go out for a walk, right? ”

If it was in the past, Ding Zhong would definitely turn around and look at Ding Xiao, and said playfully: "Then let this fairy take you to the clouds and fog!" ”

And now, Ding Zhong just hooked the corners of his lips and went out silently.

Regarding Ding Deng's reaction, Ding Xiao was a little disappointed. She sighed heavily in her heart and reluctantly caught up.

Ning Bai hung colorful streamers and star lights on the birch trees on the mountain behind the school, and each streamer had something to say to Ding Deng.

Ning Bai stood in the lit woods, holding a white string with colorful balloons hanging from the string.

"Wow, that's pretty!" Ding Xiao deliberately let out a sigh before she walked in, and she held Ding Zhong's cold hand tightly. "Is that Ning Bai? He's waiting for you, do you want to go? ”

Ding Zhong was a little surprised when she saw the scene in front of her, her numb heart thumped a few times, and the scene when Ning Bai first pursued her came to mind.

That time was similar to this time, and it was so romantic and beautiful. She felt her eyes moisten a little, and slowly approached Ning Bai.

Ding Xiao quietly let go of Ding Zhong's hand and stood in place looking at Ning Bai with a relieved expression.

It's so nice, she suddenly felt a little envious.

Ning Bai walked towards Ding Zhong as he approached, and he reached out and took Ding Deng's hand and walked towards the top of the mountain.

Hidden beneath the top of the hill were a few of their classmates who were playing well, and as the two approached, several kaleidoscopes thumped, and colorful scraps of paper floated down from the top of their heads.

Then there was a burst of cheers, and Ning Bai held the Ding bell in his hand holding the rope, and after three seconds he let go, and the balloons floated up one after another.

Ding Zhong subconsciously looked up and watched colorful balloons fluttering in the night sky.

When she lowered her head again, she saw Ning Bai kneeling on one knee. Holding her hand in one hand and a large bouquet of red roses in the other. "Ding Zhong, from now on, I will always protect you and not let you be hurt at all. If you're happy, I'll be happy with you, and if you're not happy, I'll make you happy. It will hurt you, spoil you, love you, and will think of you for the first time when there is good food, take you on a romantic trip, to those cities that we have planned...... Would you like to? ”

"Promise him, promise him......" The classmates clapped their hands in a circle around the two.

Ding Zhong looked at Ning Bai, these words were all things she used to whisper in Ning Bai's ear before. At that time, Ning Bai would say that it was good, and we would go to ...... after graduation

Looking at Ning Bai's sincere eyes, Ding Zhong felt even more uncomfortable. She still couldn't help but think of what happened that night, and she felt that she was not worthy of Ning Bai anymore.

Those beautiful fantasies disappeared as early as that night. She couldn't let go, she couldn't ......

Seeing Ding Zhong crying, the smile on Ning Bai's face disappeared instantly.

He stood up and hugged Ding Zhong tightly, whispering in her ear: "Bell Bell, I will protect you forever and forever." ”

Ding Xiao stood at the foot of the mountain and looked at the group of people on the top of the mountain, looking at Ding Zhong who hugged Ning Bai tightly.

"It's so enviable." A crisp voice came from behind, and Ding Xiao turned around.

"I said that Zhou Shujuan's expression was wrong tonight, it turned out that she was helping people join in the fun." Li Le's words were sour, and his face was full of jealousy. "Although it is said that it is a holiday now, if you do this in the back mountain, you will be punished if the principal knows about it."

After a brief look at Li Le, Ding Xiao probably guessed why she would say such a thing. After being silent for a while, she said in a tepid tone: "You are Ding Zhong's classmate, are you dissatisfied with Ding Deng?" ”

Li Le put her hands in the pockets of her bread clothes, she lifted her toes up twice, and turned her head to look at Ding Xiao. "yes, it's just dissatisfaction. I thought she wouldn't be able to come back if she was kidnapped, but I didn't expect her life to be so big. ”

"Do you like Ning Bai?"

"What's the matter with you?" Li Le's tone was not good, and it sounded like there was fire to be sprinkled. She pulled her phone out of her pocket and gestured to call the teacher.

Ding Xiao didn't stop it, after all, even if the teacher knew about the Chinese New Year, it was nothing. During the Chinese New Year, people want to be happy, this kind of romantic little thing in the back mountain, and there are no candles and fireworks.

However, Li Le did not get through to the teacher's phone, and he did not get through several times in a row.

"I'm not going to be just that!" She was a little angry and stomped her feet, glared at Ding Xiao and left.

Ding Xiao shook his head helplessly and smiled, and a coldness spread from the soles of his feet to his heart.

Why hadn't she ever encountered such a thing when she was in college before? Her college life seems to be quite peaceful, so calm that she is so beautiful that she doesn't even have a suitor.

Ding Xiao thought that Li Le was just a classmate who was jealous of Ding Zhong, so he didn't pay much attention to what she said before leaving. I never thought that it was she who pushed Ding Zhong into hell.

It was December 29, 2008, one day before Chinese New Year's Eve.

Ding Zhong's mentality has improved a lot, and he is no longer an indifferent face. However, she still didn't want to go home for the New Year, and Ding Xiao promised Ding Wei to go home for the New Year......

There is no way, she has to go back to report safety to Ding Wei and Miao Ying, and appease the hearts of the two old people who are worried about their daughters.

She asked Ning Bai to take good care of Ding Zhong, go home for the New Year, and come to Fancheng in the second year of junior high school.
