Winter nights are not so scary.

Because of the more terrible things, she has already experienced too much.

Natsuki casually sat down in front of a shop that had long since closed.

The slap in the face didn't hurt as much as it used to be, perhaps because the biting cold wind had paralyzed her nerves.

The lights on both sides of the road were glowing dimly all the time.

Occasionally, one or two people can be seen walking in front of them.

Maybe it was because it was too cold, so no one who passed by paid attention to the huddled figure in front of the store.

After a while.

Natsuki took out her phone from her bag.

Twelve forty a.m.

No matter where she goes, as long as she is still in this city, she will always be inexplicably involved with that group of people.

He sighed softly.

"Hey, where are you going?"

No sadness, no sadness, no anger, no resentment.

Xia Muxi seemed to have expected these things a long time ago, so even if she ended up like this now, she didn't feel too much. She just wanted to get away from those people and live her life.

At this time, Lin Shu was driving everywhere looking for Xia Muxi.

Looking back now, I saw Xia Zhengxian treat Mu Xi like that in Xia's house just now, why did she just stand at the door and not even say a word?

Lin Shu admitted that at that moment, he was indeed the same as Xia Zhengxian, thinking that the person who hurt Xia Xi was Mu Xi, after all, everything was too coincidental.

obviously promised Li Mo to take good care of Mu Xi, why didn't he listen to her explanation and let her go alone? What she did as an elder was too dereliction of duty, if she couldn't bring Mu Xi home safely, she would be even more unable to explain to Qiu Limo.

Lin Shu dialed Xia Muxi's mobile phone over and over again, and the display was always turned off. She has been driving for more than two hours, and she can't see Xia Muxi at all, even the hotel where Xia Muxi stayed before, she also went to look for it, but the hotel people told her that Xia Muxi never came back at all.

Let's hope nothing happens.

Lin Shu prayed in his heart.

At more than three o'clock in the morning, because the search was unsuccessful, Lin Shu could only return home first and wait until the next day to continue the search.

Sister-in-law Yu saw that only Lin Shu came back alone, and she knew the result in her heart, so she could only go back to the room to rest.

Xia family.

The woman's dog was reporting on the castle over the phone.

"I knew he was going to find a way to get out." The woman is lying on the bed with a sweet voice.

"Miss, do you still need to continue to control Young Master Yisheng?"

"Of course, if he leaves the castle, all my plans will be in vain."

"I see."

"You're going to have to keep an eye on him, if you let him escape, you don't want your life."

"Yes!"

Six o'clock the next morning.

Qiu Nianxi woke up earlier than ever.

"Mommy? Mommy! "The first thing he wakes up every day is to call his mommy. But today, no matter how much he shouted, the figure did not appear for a long time.

The little one suddenly remembered what had happened at his grandfather's house last night.

Grandpa hit Mommy because Mommy seemed to have done something very bad to the girl who had been asleep, and besides, the corners of Mommy's mouth were bleeding.

Mommy called his name, but he was too scared to hide from his grandmother.

When Mommy walked past him, he wanted to grab Mommy's hand, but he still didn't...

"Mommy! Wow! The more the little one thought about it, the more he cried.

He got out of bed, barefoot, and cried as he walked towards Mommy's room, but when he saw the empty room, he cried even harder.

"What's wrong with Nianxi?" Lin Shu heard the child's cry and hurriedly ran over, and she held the little one in her arms.

"Grandma, where's Mommy?" The little guy asked the person in front of him sadly.

"Nianxi stopped crying, Mommy just went out for something." Lin Shu patted the little guy's back and comforted him.

"Is Mommy really just going out? Grandma, don't lie to Nian Xi..."

"How could grandma lie to Nianxi, Mommy really went out for something and will be back soon."

"When is Mommy coming back? That time, Daddy also said that Mommy wouldn't go home if she had something, but Mommy almost divorced Daddy, and almost didn't want to read Xi, what about this time? Mommy, is it true that she doesn't want to read Xi? That incident had already left a shadow in the child's heart, and the little one was very scared. He remembered what Daddy had said to him before he left—

"Daddy, are you going on another mission?"

"Hmm."

"When is Daddy coming back? Nian Xi will miss you. ”

"It may take half a month." Qiu Limo held the little one in his arms, "Daddy will miss Nozomi too." It's just that when Daddy is away, can Nian Xi promise Daddy one thing? ”

"No matter what Daddy says, Nianxi will do it!"

"Nian Xi is so good." Qiu Limo gently stroked the little guy's head, "Nianxi, during the time when Daddy is away, you have to protect Mommy on behalf of Daddy, Nianxi is already a man, if there is a bad guy bullying Mommy, what should Nianxi do?" ”

"Nianxi will drive away all the bad guys who bully Mommy, and will tell grandma and sister-in-law Yu so that they can protect Mommy together."

"Especially that bad grandma, no matter what she says or does, Nian Xi doesn't believe it, Nian Xi just needs to believe Mommy all the time, you know?"

"Daddy, don't worry! Mommy is the most important thing in Nianxi's heart, and Nianxi will only listen to Mommy's words. ”

"Also, no matter where Mommy goes, if Nianxi is there, she must always be by Mommy's side, and if Nianxi is not there, you must also remember to remind Grandma and Sister-in-law Yu that let them accompany Mommy, and never let Mommy be alone."

"Nianxi memorized everything."

"Shall we say so?"

"Hmm!"

···

"Grandma, you tell Nianxi the truth, won't Mommy come back? Before Daddy left, he told Nianxi that Nianxi had already agreed with Daddy that he would not let anyone bully Mommy! No matter where Mommy is, she has to accompany Mommy! ”

"Okay, don't cry, believe grandma, okay? Mommy will be back. ”

"Grandma, don't even you believe Mommy, do you think Mommy hurt the girl who fell asleep? Dad said, I can't believe the words of that bad grandmother, he asked Nianxi to just keep believing Mommy, but... But Nian Xi didn't do it! Grandma, it's all Nian Xi who is not good! ”

"Nian Xi is good, don't cry, it has nothing to do with you, don't blame yourself, okay?" Hearing the child's words, Lin Shu was distressed, this child has been more sensible and sensitive than children of the same age since he was a child. Last time, in order to keep his mommy, he even knelt in front of Mu Xi, as long as his mommy didn't divorce his father, he would rather leave this home.

Finally, everything calmed down, I thought that the real happy life had just begun, but I didn't expect that...

"What's wrong? Before I even entered the door, I heard Nian Xi's cry. "Because Lin Mu also went on a mission with the end of Autumn Dawn, Ligo was idle at home, and it happened that she got up very early this morning, although this rarely happened. So, she thought about coming to see Muxi and the children, so that they wouldn't stay at home and get bored.

"Guoguo is here." Sister-in-law Yu also looked listless.

"Sister-in-law Yu, your face is very bad, didn't you sleep well last night? The dark circles are coming out. Liguo handed the breakfast she bought by the way to Sister-in-law Yu.

"Hey." Sister-in-law Yu sighed, then took the breakfast that Liguo bought and walked to the kitchen.

"Wow! Grandmother! Nian Xi wants Mommy! The little one was still crying fiercely upstairs, and Ligo felt that something was wrong and hurried upstairs.

"What's wrong, what's wrong? Why did Nian Xi cry like this early in the morning? Liguo took the little guy from Lin Shu's arms, "Nianxi, what's wrong with you?" Tell the little aunt. ”

"Guoguo!" The little guy hugged Ligo's neck tightly, "Mommy is gone!" It's all Nian Xi is not good! It's Nianxi who didn't listen to Daddy! Mommy is gone! ”

"Auntie, what's going on?" Liguo looked at Lin Shu on the side, just like Sister-in-law Yu, her face was ugly, and her dark circles were also very thick.

"Okay Nianxi, let my little aunt dress you first, and you will have to go to school in a while." Lin Shu said.

"Don't! Don't go to school! Mommy isn't here, Nianxi isn't going anywhere! Nian Xi is going to find Mommy! Nian Xi wants to get Mommy back! Woohoo..." The little one cried.

"Okay, okay, Nianxi won't cry, we won't go to school, we won't go." Ligo patted the little guy on the back, and then looked at Lin Shu, "Auntie, you go and call the kindergarten first, Nian Xi looks like this, even if he is sent to the kindergarten, it is not worrying." ”

"Okay, I'll go now, you accompany Nian Xi first."

"Hmm."

Ligo carried the little one back to her room.

"Nianxi, shall we put on our clothes first? Also, don't cry anymore, otherwise Mommy will definitely feel distressed if she sees it. ”

"Guoguo, can you hurry up and take Nianxi to find Mommy!"

"Don't worry, my little aunt will take you to Mommy. However, the weather outside is so cold, Nian Xi can't go out in her pajamas. ”

The little one didn't speak, just sobbed all the time.

Ligo took the child's clothes and carefully put them on for him. After that, he took the little guy to brush his teeth and wash his face, and then carried him downstairs.

"Auntie, have you contacted the school?"

"Well, I said hello." Lin Shu sat in the living room, a little powerless and weak even when he spoke.

"Can you tell me what's going on now?"

"That's right, last night..."

···

And on that cold winter night last night, the slender girl sat on the side of the road almost all night. When she felt the stiffness of her whole body, she slowly stood up from the ground.

Where there is light, where there is warmth, there is where she wants to go.

She followed the light and warmth, smiling weakly everywhere she went.

Because, no matter where it is, there will be no more home for her.
