"What do you mean? So you also believe that your sister's death was not an accident? He Yang's eyes widened.

Su Tao frowned, she was so excited just now that she didn't pay attention to what she said. Yes, who can believe it if it was an accident. After all, my sister's death is too strange, and the case itself is full of suspicions. Not to mention that the cause of the fire has not yet been investigated, even the fact that why my sister was trapped in the storage room has to make people suspicious. Therefore, even if you don't say it, can't others guess that Su Ying's death is strange? Thinking of this, Su Tao felt that there was no need to hide it anymore. She turned her head, stared at He Yang quietly, and said, "Yes, that's right. I really don't think my sister's death was just an accident. And I don't think so, I think so. Is that right? ”

He Yang frowned, "That's right, I really don't think so. But the last time I said that to you, you didn't seem to believe it. Why ...... now?"

"Because I didn't trust you before, I'm not going to tell you." Su Tao said calmly.

"Now, then, are you willing to believe me? Why? He Yang had a helpless smile on his face.

"I don't know. Maybe it's because I think someone who loves Dostoevsky probably won't lie to me. Su Tao pursed her lips and smiled.

"Is that because of this?" He Yang couldn't cry or laugh.

"Of course not, just kidding. Actually, I don't know why, probably because I can sense that you really care about my sister, for whatever reason. So I believe that you, like me, don't want Su Ying to die like this for nothing. A kind of unwarranted loneliness and melancholy appeared on Su Tao's face. Recently, she has always thought inexplicably that she really doesn't have any relatives.

"I do care about her. Even if Shao Huan slandered me like that, you are still willing to trust me so much, I am really grateful. I also hope to catch Su Ying's murderer as soon as possible. If there's anything I need help with, I'll do my best. He Yang said to Su Tao sincerely.

"I'm grateful for you to say that, but after all, we're not professionals. I'm afraid that the real investigation will have to rely on the police. I just want to wait for the results here, and by the way, I will try to assist in the investigation. You are the last person to be with Su Ying. The police must have questioned you, right? Su Tao said as she went to the self-service borrowing machine and scanned the code for "Crime and Punishment".

"Yes, the police have already asked me. But when the mall caught fire, Su Ying and I weren't together. So I wasn't able to provide any useful clues. He Yang replied.

"But why did my sister go to the mall? Remember you said before that she was going to buy gifts, did she say who she was going to buy gifts for? And also...... And was there anything unusual about how she behaved at the time? Did she say anything? ”

He Yang's face was strange, "Didn't I tell you about buying gifts?" She's here to buy you a present. She said that she has a younger sister who is coming to Yangcheng recently, so she is going to bring you some gifts and pick you up again. That's when I found out that she had a younger sister. And she didn't tell me at the time that you were twins. So when I first saw you, I thought I had seen Su Ying. ”

Su Tao was shocked, "So, so, she had an accident for me." She went to the burning mall to buy me a gift, didn't she? I see. It's all my fault. If I hadn't insisted on coming to Yangcheng, she might not have died like this. ”

"Su Tao, don't say that. Your sister's affair is never your fault. If someone really wants to harm him. Even if not this time, there will be a next time. He Yang saw Su Tao's face change, and hurriedly comforted.

"No, no, it's not. Anyone who stays with me is out of luck, you know? A look of almost collapse appeared on Su Tao's calm and beautiful face, and she said a little hysterically, "You know what? When my parents died, they were in the same car with me. I had to ask my mom and dad to go hiking with me that day, but I had a car accident on the way. Mom and Dad are dead, they're all dead. As a result, I survived with only minor injuries. It's all my fault. It's my fault that they're going to die. If I hadn't had to climb the mountain, I wouldn't have done it. Su Ying must have run away from home because of this. If it weren't for me, she wouldn't have come to Yangcheng at all. If she hadn't come to Yangcheng, nothing like this would have happened. Or maybe he came to Yangcheng, and if I hadn't bothered her, she wouldn't have gone to that mall. She won't die either. So I want to investigate the so-called murderer, but it's just covering my ears and stealing the bell, don't you say? I just want to feel better. Maybe there is no such thing as a murderer at all. Maybe the real murderer is actually myself. I couldn't figure out what the truth was, I was scared, I was really scared. ”

Two lines of tears crossed the corners of Su Tao's eyes, she felt that her world was collapsing, collapsing constantly, although she had been trying to repair it, but it was still in vain. She doesn't know what's real and what's fake now, and she doesn't want to know, she just feels so tired and tired, it's better to just give up. Anyway, I am an orphan that no one wants, and no one will care about me...... Suddenly, she felt that she was being hugged into a warm embrace, it was He Yang.

He Yang's hand gently stroked her hair, lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." Su Tao lowered her head and leaned into his arms, she could hear his heartbeat and feel his body temperature, and she suddenly felt extremely relieved. At least now, she can release her emotions without scruples in front of a person, and she said softly, "He Yang, thank you." ”

He Yang rubbed her forehead with his chin and whispered, "Well, Peach, you have to know that it's not your fault. In any case, it's not your fault. ”

Su Tao raised her face, with tears in her eyes, and she said to He Yang with a little choked up, "There is no one around me, I miss my sister, do you know...... I sometimes feel like maybe it's all my fault, maybe it's ......"

He Yang patted her lightly on the back and said, "Su Tao, I know." Then he gave her a watery kiss on the forehead, then hugged her tightly and whispered, "I know, I know." ”

Su Tao closed his eyes, in the small world in the corner of the library, in the smell of tobacco on He Yang's body, the light image of the afternoon was flowing, but time seemed to have been frozen, as if there was no past and no future. All this was like in a hazy dream, in the crook of He Yang's arm, she temporarily left behind the past and the uncertain future that made her tangled and painful.

After a long time, He Yang whispered while comforting Su Tao, who was gradually calming down, "Su Tao, it's not early, it's almost half past six, and the library will close in a while." Let's get out first. ”

Su Tao's eyes were still a little red and swollen, so she didn't look up, just nodded hesitantly.

Out of the library, the sun had sunk below the horizon. The blush had faded to a pale red. At this time, the sky had gradually changed from a vast blue to a lake green, and a quiet twilight was darkly surrounding from all sides. A hazy shadow ran across the campus. The red buildings and the brick-red spires of the library's bell tower had lost their strange blood color and turned an ordinary brown. Here and now, the original afternoon is hot. It gradually degenerates into a faint and fragrant coldness. He Yang pushed the bicycle and walked to the school gate with Su Tao. There was a subtle and awkward atmosphere between the two, and neither of them was embarrassed to speak first.

"How are you going to get home?" He Yang was the first to break the silence.

"I'm not far from where I live, just walk back." Su Tao smiled at him.

"It's too late, it's not safe for you to go back alone, so I'll send you." He Yang said, "And I'll ride a bike to take you, faster than you can walk by yourself." ”

Su Tao pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "I would like to walk with you for a while, at least I won't be so lonely." ”

He Yang listened to Su Tao's words, and was a little nervous, "Okay, good." ”

"Also, thank you for comforting me today. I've been so nervous lately, and I got a little out of control in the afternoon, which scared you, sorry. ”

"It's okay, I understand. Su Tao, you're just too sad. Also, what happened to your sister and your parents was just an accident, and no one knew that such a thing would happen. You're tired enough, don't let guilt crush you. ”

"Thank you, He Yang." Su Tao turned her head to look at him steadily, and suddenly stood on tiptoe and pecked lightly on He Yang's face. "You've kissed me, and I've kissed you too. Classmate He Yang, you can't rely on it. ”

He Yang's eyes widened, stunned, and he didn't say a complete sentence for a long time. "So—what do you mean...... That one...... It's not ......"

Su Tao was amused by his helpless appearance and said, "Classmate He Yang, do you love my sister?" ”

"Huh? No, no. The two of us just ......" He Yang was stunned for a moment, and stumbled to explain.

"Then I like you, do you accept me?" Su Tao looked at his eyes sincerely.

Looking at these eyes, which were extremely similar to Su Ying, He Yang felt a little impulsive to cry. He took Su Tao into his arms and said in a dumb voice, "Okay." "Su Ying, I'm sorry I couldn't protect you. This time, I will definitely protect Su Tao well. Thinking like this, He Yang hugged Su Tao in his arms tightly.

Su Tao was strangled by him and was about to speak. He Yang suddenly let go of her as if he remembered something, and said, "By the way, you haven't eaten dinner yet." ”

"Hmm." Su Tao nodded, "I don't have anyone at home, I usually don't eat dinner, or eat some snacks and desserts to deal with it." ”

"Then I'll treat you to dessert." He Yang smiled softly and said, "You definitely like that place." ”

"Where is it?" Su Tao said curiously.

"You'll know when you go. Come on, get in the car. ”

When the sun set for the last moment, the boy carrying the girl's bicycle left a long shadow on the road.
