"Hey!"

With the appearance of a voice, Bai Qing only felt that her left hand was pulled fiercely, causing her to keep retreating.

Before she could stabilize her figure, a car whizzed in front of her.

In just a few seconds, Bai Qing, who was only ten years old, suddenly realized.

If someone hadn't grabbed her, she would have been buried here.

Thinking of this, Bai Qing couldn't help but be a little afraid, and looked at the people behind him a little blurred.

"Are you alright?"

"It's fine."

After calming down, Bai Qing's gaze quickly recovered.

The girl in front of her was wearing white and gray sneakers, black trousers, and a school uniform shirt with a yellow white undershirt.

Bai Qing's gaze continued to rise, and finally fell straight on the school emblem of the other party's clothes.

Our school?

Realizing this, Bai Qing looked at the other party's cheek again and found that the person in front of him was a classmate in the class - Xu Yiling.

Seeing that the other party's eyes kept scanning back and forth on him, Xu Yiling was stunned.

Baiqing's family is quite wealthy, but it is very different from herself.

Unable to withstand Bai Qing's sight, Xu Yiling panicked to cover the traces sewn with needles and threads next to his trouser legs, and then walked into the distance.

"Eh, don't go."

Bai Qing didn't know where the strength came from.

I saw her striding forward, completely blocking the path Xu Yiling was going to take, and then said her sincere thanks from the bottom of her heart.

"Thank you."

And the answer to her was not hurried, and even a little cold.

"No thanks."

After speaking, Xu Yiling didn't raise his head, turned around and was about to leave.

Bai Qing, when she saw that someone was leaving, she was still following behind them.

Xu Yiling didn't notice the actions of the people behind her, she didn't care at first, but as the journey home shortened, she became completely impatient.

turned around and spoke bluntly to Bai Qing.

"Stop following me, do you hear me? I don't want to say it a second time! ”

This completely frightened Baiqing in place.

Baiqing is the only child in the family, and he has been pampered by his parents since he was a child.

Xu Yiling also knew that Baiqing had good intentions, but she couldn't help but care.

So after those words, Xu Yiling turned into a dilapidated alley.

In her heart, this is the path that ordinary family members should take, not Baiqing.

The structure of the alley is intricate, and there is still dirty water on the ground after the rain, and in addition to that, there is garbage in the corners that have not been emptied.

Xu Yiling has long been accustomed to these smells, because she prefers this smell to her father's wine.

Ignoring the alleys, Xu Yiling came downstairs, looking at the old house, she hesitated for a long time, and then slowly walked to the fourth floor.

As soon as she reached the stairwell on the third floor, she heard the sound of heavy objects falling from her house.

Worst...

Xu Yiling has only one thought now, and that is to go home.

I saw her take three steps into two, letting the heavy schoolbag jump on her shoulders and sparsely fall on her wounds, and she didn't care.

She didn't stop until she reached the door.

The door to the house was always closed, but the strong smell of alcohol still came out of the small cracks.

As expected, she could already imagine what it was like inside.

For Xu Yiling, these have become her daily routine, but every time it happens, she always has an unbearable anger.

Xu Yiling didn't open the door, but he was calm and calm, slapping the door one by one, making a violent knocking sound.

Probably the knocking on the door worked, and the people inside showed no signs of beating and scolding again.

After a while, a drunken man opened the door swearing.

Seeing that it was Xu Yiling, Xu Jinguang smacked his lips and took a sip, "I still know it's back." ”

After saying that, as if he had forgotten what he had just done, he leisurely turned around and went back to the room to sleep, and the rest of the people hiding in the corner got up tremblingly.

"I'm back, Mom will cook for you."

Seeing his daughter come home, Zhao Xunchun ignored the pain in his body and began to discuss dinner.

Looking at the mother with bruised arms and busy in the kitchen.

Xu Yiling endured his emotions, walked to her side without saying a word, and called softly, "Mom." ”

"Huh." Although Zhao Xunchun answered, the work in his hands did not stop, and he neatly cut the tomatoes that Xu Yiling loved to eat.

"Don't work here, go and do your homework."

Xu Yiling did not answer, but said, "You and Dad should divorce." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, half of a tomato on the cutting board rolled down into the pool.

In just a few seconds, the entire kitchen seemed to be filled with only steaming rice in a pressure cooker.

I don't know how long it took, Zhao Xunchun slowly spoke, "Your father... He's not bad, you have to understand him. ”

Again.

Xu Yiling was tired of hearing it, and she couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Xu Jinguang had poured to make her mother so desperate.

If she had been, she would have left this home a long time ago.

Of course, Zhao Xunchun knew what Xu Yiling thought, and it was not the first time she had heard her daughter propose this.

But she always had expectations in her heart, expecting Xu Jinguang to change.

"Go do your homework, Mom is fine."

Not wanting to continue talking about this topic, Zhao Xunchun picked up the tomatoes again and prepared them step by step.

Of course, Xu Yiling would not let Zhao Xunchun be here, only to see her take out the eggs from the refrigerator and familiarly act as a helper.

But when she saw the beer bottles in the refrigerator, she still felt particularly dazzling.

Yes, her father Xu Jinguang is an alcoholic, an alcoholic who will commit domestic violence when he is drunk.

Since she was a child, she has watched the scene of her mother being beaten and scolded many times.

If he wants to dissuade himself, Xu Jinguang will beat her if he is unhappy.

Although after that, Xu Jinguang will be very good to them, so as to beg for their forgiveness.

But she had already secretly vowed to take her mother out of this ghost place, and that's it.

On the second day after saving Baiqing, Xu Yiling returned to school as usual without incident.

As soon as she passed by the front position, someone grabbed her clothes.

"Hello."

When Xu Yiling followed his line of sight, he saw Bai Qing who grinned his standard teeth and Su Wangjun who had crooked eyebrows.

At that time, Su Wangjun's family had not suffered any changes, and she was still the lively and cheerful girl.

"Yiling, thank you for yesterday's events."

After yesterday's incident, Bai Qing made up her mind to repay this benefactor, but was rejected by the other party.

"No thanks."

Xu Yiling still has that cold character, Bai Qing is not discouraged, and still persists.

Probably moved by their sincerity, Xu Yiling slowly accepted them, even so, she was reluctant to get closer to them.

It's just that occasionally in my spare time, I will secretly look at them a few more times.

Later, when she accidentally saw Su Wangjun's scar, Xu Yiling realized that Su Wangjun was also treated the same as her.

The difference is that one is the father and the other is the mother.

Because I've been drenched in the rain, I always want to hold an umbrella for others.

It is such a wonderful connection that the gears of their destinies intersect.

As Zhao Xunchun expected, as he grew older, Xu Jinguang became more stable, his work improved, and he would no longer be careless.

I even bought a suite in City A and moved my family out of here.

As for Xu Yiling's surname to Ouyang, that is her own decision.

On the day of parting, Xu Yiling took the initiative to talk to Baiqing for the first time, and their contact has not been broken since then, until now.

“... Okay, it's time for us to go back. ”

Speaking of this, Bai Qing stopped talking and looked at Su Wangjun and Su Sandi, "Where are you going?" I asked my dad to pick you up. ”

"No." Su Wangjun didn't want to trouble others, she explained: "I'll just walk back." ”

"Okay."

Bai Qing didn't force her, but looked at Su Sandi, "What about you?" ”

Hearing Baiqing ask her, Su Sandi came back to her senses.

"You guys go first, I have something to do."

After saying that, she turned around and left, completely disappearing from everyone's sight...

///

After celebrating Su Wangjun's birthday, Xu Yiling quickly devoted himself to work again.

Since they moved to City A, their family's living environment has improved a lot.

has his own room, has countless clean and tidy clothes, and has a father who will never drink heavily.

But she couldn't be happier.

Coaxed my mother to live in the accommodation by herself, but in fact lived in a small house outside, living by odd jobs every day, and only went back on weekends.

Even her mother couldn't understand it, and she wanted to help several times, but Xu Yiling rejected all of them.

Because she understands that none of this is hers, and she will always rely on herself.

Thinking of this, she cleaned up the last plate on the table.

"I'll go first."

"Okay."

Stumbling to explain the work to be handed over, Xu Yiling changed out of his work clothes and neatly put on his coat.

Winter in the south is not as cold as in the north, but it also has the coolness that winter should have.

As soon as the door of the bubble tea shop was opened, in addition to the attack of cold air, there was also Susandi standing at the door.

It was ten o'clock in the evening, and Susanti's face was red from the cold.

Seeing Xu Yiling coming, Su Sandi wanted to smile, but couldn't.

Her face had been frozen stiff by the harsh winter wind, and she could only greet her with her hands, and a mouthful of big white teeth in her mouth.

“Hi~”

"Why are you here?"

Xu Yiling was a little puzzled, and he didn't think that the other party would come for him.

"I'm looking for you."

Susandi came to herself for no more than one reason.

For some reason, Xu Yiling subconsciously felt that it was because of Su Wangjun's birthday in the afternoon, and his face couldn't help but be a little pale.

"I'm sorry, I thought..." Xu Yiling didn't know how to explain, so he simply promised: "Don't worry, I won't appear in front of Su Wangjun next time..."

"It's not because of this." Su Sandi hurriedly vetoed it and directly indicated his intention, "I'm here to apologize to you." ”

Apologize?

Looking at Su Sandi's flushed cheeks, Xu Yiling's expression was a little complicated, "Why didn't you come to me inside?" ”

"I'm afraid to disturb your work."

Su Sandi didn't think about it, but she was worried that it would disturb Xu Yiling's work, so she simply waited outside.

Fortunately, I finally waited for her.

Hearing this, Xu Yiling didn't know what kind of mood he was in.

She still didn't have any expression, and it was hard to guess what she was thinking.

I don't know how long it took, she sighed and pulled at her coat, "Come with me." ”
