It's Monday, and Xu Zinan still hasn't come to school. Looking at the empty seat beside her, Yue Wenqi's heart was also empty, I hope nothing will happen.

Yue Wenqi nervously pinched the jade pendant. Yesterday, Xu Zinan's heartbroken face made Yue Wenqi's heart hurt like a knife, and he was like two people before.

"Zining said that you invited her for her birthday, so she pulled me to accompany her. I didn't want to come here on my own. ”

"Zining hasn't been so happy for a long time, and she is even happier than when she comes back from going to the same school."

"I heard Zining say that it means 'if you don't have anything to worry about, it is a good time in the world'."

"No, I'll accompany Zining back later, she still has something to do when she goes back."

……

Xu Zinan's words that day still lingered in his ears. How important Zining is in his mind will make him trap himself like a demon, willing to suffer the pain of lovesickness and the pain of eating bones.

The more precious the thing you are guarding, the more painful it will be when you lose it.

On that Saturday afternoon, he felt that something was wrong with him, and he often talked to himself, as if he was living in his own world, unwilling to come out, unwilling to believe a fact, a truth that he could not accept.

But she couldn't bear to pierce this fragile barrier—the shackles he had made up to protect the peace of his inner world.

In that case, he is too painful, even if the lies will eventually be exposed and the illusion will eventually be shattered, it is good to be able to make him happy for one more day.

However, the day finally came.

When Yue Wenqi thought of this, she felt a cramp in her heart, and she cried in pain.

Xu Zinan came back from Yue Wenqi's house and couldn't afford to get sick.

He was knocked down by a truth, a truth that he paralyzed himself, a truth that the sky had fallen, and he almost stopped breathing.

The illusion he had woven himself had shattered that morning, and Zining had already left him......

He was lying on the bed, unconscious, his forehead was hot, layers of cold sweat were oozing, his eyes were closed, and his expression was distorted, as if he was having an abnormal nightmare.

Under the warm and pleasant sunshine, a kapok flower fell into Xu Zinan's arms, and there was a pool of nectar in the flower. Zi Ning's childish voice sounded in his ears:

"Brother, drink, drink this nectar, let me go. You've done enough for me, Zining feels sorry for my brother, really, I feel sorry for my brother......"

A gust of wind suddenly blew up, and the flowers on the kapok tree fell completely, were engulfed in a fire, and finally turned into dust......

He shouted, but there was no sound, his hands wanted to grasp something, but his hands were empty, he wanted to keep them, but his steps were as heavy as a thousand pounds......

In the end, he was the only one left in the gray world, and he always walked alone......

A line of cloudy tears slipped from the corners of his dry eyes.

Xu Mingan couldn't bear to watch his son endure the pain and sent him to the hospital.

The doctor took his temperature, which reached an astonishing forty-three degrees. After two days of hospitalization, Xu Zinan felt that his headache had been reduced a lot, and his limbs were no longer cold and weak, so he asked to be discharged from the hospital and go home to recuperate.

Xu Mingan couldn't help it, so he had to agree.

At night, Xu Zinan looked at the bright lights on the road, and suddenly wanted to go out to breathe. Maybe it's because I've been carrying too much before, and now it's time to let go.

The nectar in the stamen is Zining's comfort to herself.

Xu Zinan looked up at the dim street lamps in Central Park, and Yue Wenqi's smiling face appeared in front of him.

This girl entered Xu Zinan's heart in another identity at the beginning, bold and enthusiastic. Slowly untie the knot in his heart and break into his world.

Perhaps because of Zining, he began to accept her slowly.

I don't know what to do, and I go deep. I can't run away anymore, I need to face this feeling.

yes, it's time to let go of that obsession, it's been trapped for me for a long time......

"Eh, isn't this a great hero? Why, do you also practice martial arts under this street lamp? ”

Yu Yang came out of nowhere, and brought a few thugs with him.

He still likes to be the boss just like in school, followed by a few younger brothers, showing off his might.

"What do I have to do with you here, don't bother me if it's okay."

Xu Zinan was a little upset at this time, and his old illness had not been cured.

"Yes, yes, Xu Daying's temper hasn't changed at all, and he is still so vigorous. However, don't think that you can do whatever you want with some fancy kung fu, your spirit, that's all for today. ”

Yu Yang and the others dispersed, surrounded Xu Zinan, and took out a few wooden sticks from behind their backs.

Xu Zinan's body has just improved, and he is still a little weak, and he thinks he is invincible. And it's not like it was at school anymore.

Xu Zinan glanced around, chose a thin man as a breakthrough and rushed over. With his left hand, he grabbed the wooden stick that was waving, and with his right hand, he pushed the thin man away and ran desperately towards the road.

The people behind him looked hideous, waving the wooden sticks in their hands and chasing after them......

Running in the dark, the light spots and tree shadows in front of him flashed alternately, making Xu Zinan's eyes blurry, and he didn't pay attention, and he tripped over a pitch-black branch on the grass and fell to the ground.

When everyone came up, they were punched and kicked.

Xu Zinan held his head in his hands and curled up on the ground.

"Damn, let you run, let you be a hero."

"Let you beat me, beat my little brother, and show my foreign ......"

"See if you're still angry? It's not like I'm beating a dog! ”

Yu Yang scolded while beating. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, the stick in his hand was raised high, and he slammed it down against Xu Zinan's head......

Cough...... Not...... Xu Zinan was hit the head, let out a painful snort, his eyes went black, and he fell to the ground and stopped moving.

Everyone thought that Xu Zinan was pretending to be dead, and beat him again.

Xu Zinan still did not respond.

His clothes were torn, blood was flowing from his nose and lips, his hands were stiff, and he was holding his head.

"Big brother, you won't really die, will you?" One said.

The crowd slowly stopped. Yu Yang stepped forward and patted Xu Zinan's face and took a breath.

"Still alive, not dead." Then he turned his head to everyone and said viciously: "No one can say anything about today's events, otherwise they won't know how to die, understand?!" Everyone nodded their heads.

Yu Yang carefully took out Xu Zinan's mobile phone, dialed a call, and walked away.

“…… Mother, what kind of flower is this? ”

The boy on the side asked the woman next to him with a childish voice.

"This is kapok, also called hero flower, and it is the big red flower on the hero's chest." The woman said.

"Wow, mother, Nan'er also wants a hero flower......"

"Okay, mother wears you a hero flower, you have to protect the person you love"

…… A kapok slowly fell from the tree and landed in Xu Zinan's hand.

"Mother, will we come to see Kapok every year in the future?"

"Okay, listen to Nan'er. In the future, my mother will take you and Ning'er to see Kapok every year. ”

……

"Mother, are you leaving?"

"Well, Nan'er, live your life well."

"Zi Ning, you let Zi Ning accompany Nan'er."

"Ning'er likes to follow me, and we will always be with you."

"Brother, Zining is gone, you have to take good care of yourself, and make your own breakfast in the future!"

"You remember to come through the black hole to see us!"

Zining and her mother slowly disappeared into the dust......

Xu Zinan was lying on the hospital bed, with bandages on his head and a bruise on his face.

Outside the window, the sky was full of smoke.

Xu Zinan's eyes were closed, and a line of tears flowed awe-inspiringly.

…… Xu Zinan sat on the sofa at home, with a bottle of drink on the table and the news playing on the TV:

According to reports, a rear-end collision accident occurred on the Suxin Expressway in the early hours of yesterday morning, and two people in the car were killed. The cause of the accident is currently under investigation......
