If she remembered correctly, just an hour ago, Bai Zhengqian said conclusively that he had never set foot in the poor and backward place of Maji.

Han Chenluo grabbed Lin Qi one step faster than Xia Xingran, grabbed his shoulder, raised his chin and said, "Hey, buddy, for my sake, you must make it clear." ”

Lin Qi glanced at Han Chenluo, smiled and nodded. He scratched his ear, trying to remember.

The first time he met Bai Zhengqian was five years ago, not long after Xia Qingyi settled in Maji.

One day he was sitting at the door and saw his father, who was a truck driver, getting out of Bai Zhengqian's car, and going home with a beaming face, saying that he had talked about a big order for a pharmaceutical factory today. It will soon be able to pay for the middle and high school tuition in Lynch.

"Which pharmaceutical factory and what medicine do you remember?" Xia Xingran asked with an anxious face, staring at Lin Qi's face.

Lin Qi shook his head a little apologetically: "I don't know about this, my father didn't say it." However, not long after this incident, Dr. Xia, your father was found and taken away by the police for hiding counterfeit medicines. And my father, after a few days of depression, went out to deliver one night and killed someone by a drunk driver, and was also arrested. ”

Lin Qi's voice became lower and lower, his head gradually drooped to his chest, and his two index fingers twisted his faded clothes, looking very depressed.

Xia Xingran hurriedly bent down and patted him on the shoulder and said softly, "Lin Qi, you don't have to feel guilty. You're not an appendage of your father, everyone is born an individual, you have to live your life well, you know? ”

This was the first non-consecutive sentence that Lynch had heard in five years.

He slowly tilted his face slightly, his wet skin reflecting the warm sunlight, like the snow top after the ice and snow melted, and his eyes were filled with endless hope.

"Li Yuan, Secretary Shen. I think it's going to be fine, Xiao Luo and I will send this child back to the welfare home first, and then trouble you to contact me when the white courtyard sends all the things. ”

After getting the consent, Xia Xingran took Lin Qi back to the welfare home on Han Chenluo's motorcycle.

"This orphanage looks pretty good." Xia Xingran looked at its surroundings, it was clean and refreshing, and couldn't help nodding in praise.

Lin Qi sneered and shook his head: "It's just a glamorous appearance." ”

Xia Xingran and Han Chenluo glanced at each other, understood in their hearts, and walked into the welfare home together.

As soon as he entered, a middle-aged man with small eyes walked in front of him, and glanced at Lin Qi coldly. When he realized that there were still people behind him, he immediately put on a smiling face and walked over and asked, "Is there anything wrong with the two of you?" ”

"Lynch is injured, we send him back." Xia Xingran said that he was about to continue walking inside, but the middle-aged man stopped in front of the two of them quietly.

"Thank you both. However, there is a rule in the welfare home that non-relatives or adopters are not allowed to visit. Please stop here. ”

"I've never heard of this rule." A fool can also detect that something is wrong with the situation, Xia Xingran muttered dissatisfiedly, and was about to break in to find out.

"This young lady, there is a rule for everything, and you can't break through like this." The middle-aged man grabbed Xia Xingran and pushed her back.

Then I only heard the sound of Qi Shushu's footsteps, and dozens of men wearing security uniforms and carrying guns ran over from behind, standing beside Xia Xingran in shifts.

Han Chenluo immediately opened his hands to protect Xia Xingran. He gently pinched Xia Xingran's waist and said to the middle-aged man with a fake apology: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, we didn't understand the rules when we first arrived, please bear with me, let's go back." ”

The middle-aged man raised his chin, and his narrow eyes flashed with indifference, cruelty, and clear contempt for them.

"Slow down and don't send it." After he finished speaking, he turned around, raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and the dozens of gun-wielding security guards turned their heads and dispersed after him one after another.

Han Chenluo led Xia Xingran out of the gate of the welfare home and whispered: "Sister, don't worry, I'll send you back first, and I'll sneak in when it's dark." ”

"No, that's too dangerous." Thinking of the muzzles of the dozens of black holes, Xia Xingran felt a chill in his heart.

Han Chenluo smiled happily, revealing a hint of playfulness. He patted his chest hard, made an oath with his right hand and said, "Sister, don't worry, I promise you, with my ability to climb high and low since I was a child, nothing will happen." ”

"That's not ...... either"

"Meow~"

Xia Xingran was just about to refuse, when he heard a few faint meowing cat meows from the grass. Hurriedly tiptoed into the grass, and looked away, it was the cat with broken legs that Lynch had fed, looking at the two of them pitifully.

"Oh, what a poor kitten." Xia Xingran gently held it in his arms, looked down sideways to observe its broken leg, and gently touched the leg with his hand, gradually knowing in his heart.

"Xiao Luo, you go buy two ice creams." Han Chenluo didn't know why, but he still did it obediently. After a while, he panted and handed the ice cream to Xia Xingran, who was sitting on the edge of the flower bed and put the cat on his lap.

Xia Xingran looked at Han Chenluo, who was standing stupidly on the side and looking at her directly, smiled, tore open the package, and naturally changed the smile on his hand: "Eat quickly." What are you doing here like a wooden pestle? ”

Han Chenluo took it mechanically and sat down next to Xia Xingran. Xia Xingran seemed to be made of sugar, and staying by her side, Han Chenluo felt that the ice cream and the air had become sweeter.

"Dad was a very controlling person, and he always liked to do everything he thought was best for those around him. Every time I eat ice cream, I feel like I'm a thief. ”

Xia Xingran took a bite of ice cream, first smiled, and then gradually lowered his head, and his voice gradually choked. Eventually, he fell on his knees and cried.

Han Chenluo hurriedly ate the rest of the ice cream into his mouth, squatted in front of Xia Xingran, and held her in his arms.

"Sister, no matter what happens, I will always be with you, I will not leave, you can trust me."

Xia Xingran's shoulders shook a few times, and she raised her face slightly, she felt Han Chenluo's sincere and fiery gaze, and heard her powerful and surging heartbeat, this voice seemed to wake up her long-sleeping world.

Her eyes were fixed on Han Chenluo's white mouth, she smiled, and stretched out her hand to wipe it for him.

Han Chenluo's whole body tightened, he looked at her whole person into his eyes, his heart beat wildly, his face unconsciously slept in her palm, his slender hand gently covered the hand on the side of his mouth, he closed his eyes and sniffed, soft with a sweet smell.

He felt pity in his heart and wanted to imprint a kiss on the back of Xia Xingran's hand, but as soon as his lips touched, he obviously noticed that her body trembled obviously, and he quickly withdrew his hand, and the whole person moved out.

There was silence around for a while, Han Chenluo opened his eyes and looked at Xia Xingran, whose ears were red and dripping blood, with a slight effort in his hand, only to hear a click, and the cat barked. Xia Xingran quickly used the rags and two ice cream sticks around him to make a simple fixation on the cat's broken leg.

She got up suddenly, staggered a little, and walked forward with her back on her back. After walking a short distance, he stopped again, turned around with the cat in his arms, and looked at Han Chenluo, who was still squatting in place.

"Be careful, I'll wait for you to come home." In just one sentence, it seemed that she had exhausted all her strength, and without waiting for Han Chenluo to respond, Xia Xingran turned her head and ran farther and farther and faster.

Han Chenluo lowered his head and smiled, this smile was far less brilliant than even the sun in the afternoon behind him.

……

The lock of the door, Shan Zhien has changed it for her. Xu is new lock is too astringent, Xia Xingran tinkered for a long time before opening it.

She was already hot and soaking wet, she didn't have time to put down the cat, took off her shoes and ran to get the remote control of the air conditioner, turned on the central air conditioner, she stood under the wind and blew for a while, before she felt that her breathing was easier.

I couldn't help but think of the picture of Han Chenluo wanting to kiss the back of her hand just now, and I couldn't help blushing. I feel like a little girl in love, who has been glimpsed into the secret of my heart, and I am ashamed of myself.

"I must be crazy." Xia Xingran slapped his forehead a few times.

She carefully put the cat down on the carpet, took a basin and poured the cat litter she bought, and took two other small basins to pour cat food and milk.

The kitten took two tentative steps forward and made up for it, and then meowed twice happily and feasted on it.

Seeing that it was eating sweetly, Xia Xingran was relieved. Her heart was still up and down, so she decided to take the book and read it to settle down.

She realized that the study on the second floor was far more than the book on the third floor, and she moved a bench and looked at them one by one, and her eyes were suddenly attracted by a diary with a pink cowhide seal.

"How can there be a pink diary, isn't Dad always black?" Xia Xingran pulled it out, blew it and patted it, and when she opened it, it turned out to be her mother's handwriting.

She touched the familiar handwriting and name, and her heart was sour, and she wet the first page of the diary with a click.

She hurriedly wiped her face, flipped it back, and suddenly had doubts in her heart: "How can there be Su Wanwan's mother's handwriting here?" ”
