"Don't be afraid, I'll turn on the lights." The extreme lack of oxygen breathing made Fu Mingzhe nervous. But his voice was calm and his movements were calm, and he settled Xia Xiaoxiao, who was wandering in his soul, and got up to turn on the light.

The lights came on, and Xia Xiaoxiao curled up in the corner. That pale face was even more worrisome in the light. Fu Mingzhe returned to her, his tone soft and calming.

"Did you have a nightmare?"

A layer of dense sweat appeared on Xia Xiaoxiao's forehead, shrouded in a bleak light.

Seeing that she couldn't speak, Fu Mingzhe's hand hesitated for a moment, and then decisively covered her cold forehead to wipe her sweat. Xia Xiaoxiao did not refuse, the usually stubborn hands were holding her body tightly at the moment and trembling slightly.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Fu Mingzhe muttered, soothing her fears one by one.

After a long time, her face softened a little, and she raised her white hand and softly grabbed Fu Mingzhe's arm. "Where's my phone?"

Her voice was empty and her breath was unsteady. Fu Mingzhe hurriedly fumbled around, and finally found the hiding mobile phone under the quilt at her feet.

It seems that she has been planning for a long time, and the mobile phone suddenly exploded as soon as it was delivered to her. Xia Xiaoxiao's originally relaxed nerves suddenly tensed, and her body began to shake again. The next second, she fell into a safe and wide embrace.

Fu Mingzhe gently stroked her back with one hand, and quickly pressed the answer button with the other. The phone shows that it is a Kaka call. In the middle of the night, relatives called, and an ominous premonition surged into Fu Mingzhe's heart.

He didn't have time to think, so he picked up the phone and put it to his ear.

Xia Xiaoxiao in her arms is very abnormal, and she has no hard shell to reveal her soft heart. She was really frightened, her head was buried deep in Fu Mingzhe's chest, and her hands scratched the clothes on his chest.

The sudden change made Fu Mingzhe feel that he was actually a very important existence for Xia Xiaoxiao at this moment. He didn't dare to imagine that without him, Xia Xiaoxiao would have been able to withstand this sudden blow alone.

Her brother, something happened. The phone in his hand was like a sizzling bomb, and he couldn't just send it to Xia Xiaoxiao's hand. He pressed the phone tightly to his face, covered the bottom end with his other hand, and calmly said something to the other party. It wasn't until a series of good voices came from the phone that he hung up.

Even with Fu Mingzhe constantly comforting him, Xia Xiaoxiao still didn't recover from his fear. She struggled to breathe, as if she hadn't woken up from a great nightmare.

Fu Mingzhe patted the person in his arms, and his heart was heavy as if he was pressing a boulder.

The mouth was even more covered with a thick layer of paste, so sticky that I didn't know how to speak. But it was her younger brother, although it was the first time they met that the sister and brother were fighting, it could be seen that their relationship was very good.

He now somewhat understood the reason for Xia Xiaoxiao's nightmare. Caused by care, the heart has a soul.

"Xiaoxiao, are you okay?" Feeling that the person in his arms was not so shaking, he raised Xia Xiaoxiao's face and looked at her gently.

Xia Xiaoxiao stared into his eyes for a long time before she was sure that this was not a dream, but a reality. Fu Mingzhe was by her side, and her heart calmed down all of a sudden.

The remnants of the nightmare vanished at this moment. Her mouth opened and she swallowed hard, "I'm fine." ”

"It's okay, I'm there for you." These warm and powerful words pierced her nerves, and no one had said such things to her in years. Thinking of that terrible dream, her eyes were hot, and tears rolled down.

"I'm having nightmares." She looked dark and lowered her head, her hands clasped around her shoulders again.

"Drink saliva first." Fu Mingzhe thoughtfully poured her a glass of water.

Xia Xiaoxiao didn't seem to see it, and talked about the nightmare to herself. She was afraid that if she didn't say it, she would collapse.

"I dreamed of my parents' accident. But when they had an accident, I was too young to see the scene of the accident. She sniffed, and without looking at her face, she knew she was trying to hold back her grief.

"Their flesh and blood were blurry, my dad's eyes were closed, and my mom was stuck. Her eyes were filled with tears, and her mouth was slurred with muttering thoughts, but no one helped her. The scene was so real, I just stood there without moving, without crying or screaming, and watched their lives fade away little by little......"

A loud whimper blocked her words, and the girl, who had always been fierce and strong, bowed up and wept bitterly. She missed her parents, and it wasn't the first time she had such a nightmare, but this time the dream devoured her heart more than ever.

Fu Mingzhe didn't speak, but listened to her quietly, hoping that his listening could take away some of her pain.

"I hate it so much, I hate myself for being like a fool, I hate myself for not being able to do anything."

Her hands loosened her shoulders and pulled her hair tightly. Fu Mingzhe's heart also pinched, "Xiaoxiao, don't be like this, you grab my hair." ”

He didn't know how to comfort her in order to alleviate her pain. It is not for him that he has experienced the death of a loved one. But compared to the death of his father, the life of his mother strangling his neck made him the most painful.

But no matter how hard it was, he also survived. The wound in his heart and the pain entrenched in Xia Xiao's heart suddenly fused.

Thinking of the phone call just now, his heart tightened again.

Unfortunately, there is no empathy in this world. Fu Mingzhe hoped that he would also go through some cruel things at the moment, so that he could have a heart-to-heart relationship with Xia Xiaoxiao. He could experience her feelings with his own feelings, so that he could comfort her with his own experiences.

He searched his stomach and thought about his pain. Finally, those old things that he buried in the depths of his heart and used to make him almost crazy were dug up by him.

"There are some things that we can't control." He thought about it for a moment, but still spoke. He gently grabbed Xia Xiaoxiao's hand and took out the hair in her hand little by little. Then use your own hand to firmly hold her soft and helpless hand. Xia Xiaoxiao seemed to fall apart and let him hold it.

"When I was a kid, I was most afraid of my mother. In the eyes of outsiders, she is a strong woman and a perfect mother. When her husband died, she carried the entire Fu family alone. and raised his young son to become a talent. ”

Xia Xiaoxiao continued to sob, not knowing what he was going to say. Is there anything more tragic than the loss of her parents as a child? Although he also lost his father when he was a child, she was twice as sad as him.

She is very good, and in the eyes of others, she is a good mother, taking care of her son meticulously, and she will tell her a thousand little things. But who knows that your food, clothing, housing and transportation have been watched by people since you were a child, and I am not allowed to have a little idea. ”

"You know what? I haven't been free since I was a child. I'm like a doll carved out of my mom. Without thought, without expression. I will do whatever she wants me to be, and all I have for me is a shell. He laughed out loud as he spoke.

Xia Xiaoxiao's sadness was invaded by a sense of sympathy, and she looked at Fu Mingzhe with teary eyes, how suffocating he should have lived.

"I have nightmares every day that I am surrounded by a group of demons and monsters, and I can't hide and run. I was so obedient at that time that I didn't even know that I could run away from home. Now think about the use of running away from home, no matter where I go, I can't escape my mother's palm. ”

Listening to him cut open his heart, Xia Xiaoxiao stopped her tears. The sadness in her heart has not yet gone down, her own wounds have not healed, and there is no way to heal others.

Fu Mingzhe didn't care, seeing that Xia Xiaoxiao stopped her tears, he reached out to wipe away the tears hanging on her cheeks.

"When I was a child, I must have often avoided crying." Xia Xiaoxiao was embarrassed to dodge, but his shoulder was pressed firmly by him.

"I cried for a while, but I cried too much and found that it was useless and stopped crying. Once my mother was outside reprimanding me, and my classmates saw me, and I was 12 years old at the time, and I felt very ashamed, so I cut my own hand in front of my mother, and told her that if she persecuted me again, I would let her never see me again. ”

When he said that he cut his index finger, Xia Xiaoxiao's fingers went numb. It turned out that the scar on his hand came from like that.

"But my mom smiled coldly, 'A broken hand will heal.' Whatever you do, I can get you back. Your life is not just yours. After she finished speaking, she turned around and left, and Uncle Wang bandaged me. ”

"Since then, I have known that everything I have is given by my mother, and I can only obey her, and I can't even die by myself. Obviously, I am such a person who loves life. Fu Mingzhe's eyes were red, not only her, but even Xia Xiaoxiao's tears that had just stopped were led out by him.

Seeing that she was about to cry again, Fu Mingzhe quickly stopped talking. People say that only being miserable can stop a person's sadness. He uncovers his injuries and successfully attracts Xia Xiaoxiao's sadness.

"But I have also received warmth, Uncle Wang said that my mother was fighting with others all her life because she was too bitter. So I was a little more controlling, and he wanted me to learn to be tactful, as soft as water. Said it would be nice when I grew up. ”

He hid his sadness and looked at Xia Xiaoxiao, his bright eyes radiating a soothing light.

"People say that they forget the pain after the scar, but that's not right. Even if the scar is healed, the pain will always be there. So the feeling of being small and painful is unforgettable. What we have to do is live with this feeling well. ”

Xia Xiaoxiao was shocked by his words, as if she had been empowered. It turns out that even if you don't forget the pain, you can live a good life.

"Thank you." There is no high-minded president, and there is no small man with teeth and claws. There are only two people who soothe each other's wounds and treat each other honestly.

"Don't worry, in the future, I won't be cruel to you. Kind people deserve to be treated gently. Xia Xiaoxiao's sworn Fu Mingzhe promised. She was a kind person in her bones, and those faces were just for self-preservation.

Now that Fu Mingzhe is devoted to her, she naturally treats him as a close friend.

"Look, this scar of mine is pretty good. Because it was the first time I had bravely opposed my mother, it was like a medal for me, and I wanted to show it off all the time. ”

Heh, after listening to his words, Xia Xiaoxiao burst out laughing. She laughs so beautifully. Fu Mingzhe was in a trance, thinking of the things that were pressed in his heart, and it was difficult to make a choice for a while. He wanted her to laugh like this all the time.

But the reality always backfires, and it was not Kaka who shattered Xia Xiaoxiao's smile, but Zhu Yu.

He called Xia Xiaoxiao late at night for help, saying that he had been deceived and the house was gone. is already desperate, I hope Xia Xiaoxiao can help him. Isn't this really a midnight horror? Xia Xiaoxiao's heart that had just been pressed jumped out of her chest again.

She didn't understand why Zhu Yu was just on a business trip, and she was deceived so much that not only did she not even have a house, but she also owed a lot of debts.

The debt collector is extremely vicious, threatening Xia Xiaoxin that he will not see the money tomorrow morning, and Zhu Yu will not see the sun tomorrow.

She hid Fu Mingzhe with the phone, because she felt that her relationship with Fu Mingzhe was not familiar enough to show her unbearability easily. Hearing that Zhu Yu asked her for money, she excused herself to go to the balcony and returned the money for Zhu Yu at that time.

And Zhu Yu, who was out of danger, only left two words, "thank you", and disappeared.
