When Lori got home, she was soaking wet and embarrassed. While her mother blames her for her unauthorized actions, she calls her father to inform him of Lori's return.

When my father came back that day, it was completely dark. From her mother's busy figure, Luo Li can probably guess that her father is even more embarrassed than herself.

She lay on the bed with a sore body, and struggled several times to sit up and explain to her father, but she could not succeed because of the dryness of her throat.

After his father changed into clean clothes, the first thing he did was to sit down on the edge of Luo Li's bed, and he touched Luo Li's hot forehead with his big hand. The cold touch made Luo Li so comfortable that she closed her eyes directly.

"Why is it so hot? Do you want to go to the hospital? He told his mother.

"It's raining so heavily, and going to the hospital is also a crime, so it's better to observe at home. I've given her my medicine, and if the fever goes away in a while, she'll be fine. Mother said.

"You're really, where did you pick up the child?" The mother grumbled slightly.

"The car broke down halfway, and I couldn't do anything about it, and I was soaking wet all the way...... my father explained.

Luo Li felt their voices grow farther and farther away, as if they were separated by something, slowly disappearing, and she gradually fell into a coma under the influence of the drug.

She didn't sleep well this night, and woke up several times uncomfortably, intermittently hearing her mother's voice on the phone.

"Lily is back."

"What? Miao Miao hasn't arrived home yet? ”

"Didn't you hear her? She was now a little confused, coughing, vomiting and tossing for half a night, and now she had just fallen asleep. ”

"Wait a minute, she'll wake up, I'll ask her ......"

Luo Li wanted to ask her mother what was going on, but her eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and she couldn't open them.

When she woke up again, it was already dawn, and her mother was curled up next to her, apparently having not slept all night. As soon as she moved, her mother raised her head vigilantly, "You're finally awake."

"What time is it?" Her voice was hard and ugly, and she couldn't accept it.

"It's 11 o'clock, drink some soup in a while, and I made your favorite braised chicken wings." Dad heard the movement and said probe.

"What day of the week is today? You guys...... Didn't you all go to work? Luo Li asked suspiciously, but in exchange for her mother's hug.

It's not the usual perfunctory hug, it's the kind that is regarded as a treasure with strong feelings......

Mom held her tightly in her arms, caressed her back with her hand, and kept kissing her forehead...... As if she were a little baby.

Luo Li was a little puzzled, and she asked her mother carefully, "Am I suffering from any serious illness?" ”

"What nonsense, and curse yourself like this." Mom let go of her in disgust.

"Oh." Luo Li was still a little skeptical.

"Lily, why did you take the bus back yesterday? Who do you ride with? Mom asked with concern.

"Yesterday I waited for my dad for a long time and didn't come. It's getting dark, it's raining again, and there are a few people at the school gate,......" Lori squeaked and said a lot of reasons, she was afraid that her parents would blame her.

When the mother heard her daughter say this, she hugged her daughter distressedly while her eyes flew towards her husband.

Dad was very guilty by the eye knife, and he fled to the kitchen as if he was about to go to see the soup.

Seeing that her mother didn't blame her, Luo Li continued: "Later, Miao Miao came to me to take the bus together, so I followed her and squeezed into the bus. Mom, don't you know, there are more than one people on the bus, we waited for a long time and didn't get up, but a kind uncle helped, so we got on the ......"

Luo Li was still in the joy of successfully returning home for the first time, excitedly recounting the process of their bus ride, but her mother's face became more and more solemn.

"Mom...... What's wrong with you? Lori finally noticed that something was wrong.

Lily...... Mom told you one thing, don't be afraid. Mom looked at her solemnly.

Luo Li nodded ignorantly.

"Miao Miao is dead......

"What? No way, she was fine yesterday. When I got out of the car, she waved at me......"

"It's all in the news this morning." Mother's words shattered all her luck.

"Miao Miao didn't come home last night, and her mother called me to ask ......"

"How did she die? Accidental? Luo Li nervously took her mother's hand, her focus was on Miao Miao's death.

The mother looked hesitantly at her daughter's still immature face. She wouldn't want her to know this if she could, but the cruelty of this world is that evil minions can always reach out to the treasure she cares for. If she hadn't understood earlier, she would have been even more unable to face it later.

She seemed to have made a lot of determination, so she told Luo Li about Miao Miao with a solemn face. "Miao Miao disappeared after school yesterday. Her mother called the police and mobilized all her friends and relatives to look for her. Until this morning, the police found her body......"

"She was the ...... who was killed"

The mother added her lips before continuing: "She has been violated...... There was a recent serial rapist in the Luqiao area, who singled out young girls, and the police suspected that he was the murderer. ”

"Lily, Mom and Dad didn't let you go home alone because this place wasn't safe......"

Her mother's words slammed into her chest like a hammer.

"When I got out of the car, Miao Miao was fine...... If...... If I don't take the bus with her, what if...... If I had asked her to stay with me and wait for her parents to pick her up, wouldn't she have died? ”

Lori fell into deep self-remorse. Fear, fear, and self-reproach crushed her like a dark storm in an instant.

Her mother hugged her trembling body, and her father stepped forward to hug them both. They almost lost the person they love the most, and the thought alone scared them.

"I also had an uncle with me when I left, wearing a white shirt, very tall, and smelling of lavender. It was he who helped us get on the bus and was a very nice person. He also said that my name was special. ”

"He escorted us to the car and helped us block out the crowds on the bus. With him, Miao Miao shouldn't have an accident. ”

Luo Li was a little demented, and kept muttering and repeating this passage.

The parents stood upside down because of her words, and the daughter said that the person was likely to be the murderer.

Dad was the first to calm down, and he asked Lori to tell him in detail about yesterday's events.

After listening to Luo Li's story, he could almost conclude that there was something wrong with that person, and the first person that person targeted was Luo Li.

Fortunately, Luo Li got out of the car first, fortunately, when Luo Li got out of the car, a middle-aged man also got out of the car with her, fortunately, Luo Li ran to a crowded place after getting out of the car......

So much luckily, if one of them goes wrong, then it will be his daughter who loses her life. Thinking of this, he held their hands tightly again.

The mother also felt the father's feelings, and she hugged her daughter tightly, and she didn't dare to think about what would happen to her if something happened to her.

"Lori...... You stay at home for the next two days, rest well, and wait until you are well. ”

"Aren't you afraid that I'll fall behind in my studies?" Luo Li looked at her parents a little stupidly, they had caught her very tightly before.

"Learning is not important to have a body, first take care of the body." Mom said.
