Xia Kite's coat didn't care about wearing it, so she picked up her mobile phone and walked out quickly.

The door slammed open, and Xia Butterfly ran out two steps, and then fell into the hallway.

The person she was looking for was leaning against the wall of the hallway.

The cold moonlight outlined his thin silhouette, and the lingering green mist blurred his clear eyebrows. The man was stunned in the night, turned around, and subconsciously pressed the cigarette between his knuckles.

“——！”

It's like the last bit of blood being squeezed out of the heart.

Xia Kitten finally heard the answer.

In the first twenty years of his life, You Lie did not have any bad habits at all, clean and spotless.

Xia Kitese didn't think that the first time he learned to smoke was abroad, it was on such a night when she didn't know how many she hadn't seen.

He must have been afraid that he would choke her, or that she would smell the smoke, and he would even stand outside when the smoke was out. In Los Angeles in April, it was only 10 degrees Celsius in the middle of the night, and on such a cold day, his slender finger bones were red from the cold.

Seeing that the girl was motionless, You Lie stepped forward, stopped, and retreated.

"I'm sorry," You Lie's voice was slightly hoarse from being soaked in tobacco, and he subconsciously apologized in a low voice, "I'm a little tired, so I ordered one." ”

“……”

I don't know if it's because the taste of nicotine is too pungent, or if the exotic wind is so cold that it makes people shiver, Xia Kite's nose is sour, and tears fall down.

He is a pampered young master, a proud son of heaven who was born with a radiant brilliance, where has he ever suffered such hardships.

The path up was hard and difficult, but it was her own choice, and she didn't care.

But she forgot that the eldest young master had a strong and soft heart that was spotless as gold, and he was never a cold statue that only stood at the end of the ladder.

By the time she took the first step towards him, he was already desperate to run for her.

Xia Kites never felt how bitter those days were.

Until the light of seeing him was covered for the first time with the gray dust raised at her feet.

Chapter 42: Break Up

Xia Kites thought that she still had some talent as an actor.

For example, she succeeded, while shedding tears, she made You Lie believe that she cried because she couldn't find him after the car accident nightmare that woke her up.

You Lie doesn't always see through her lies.

As soon as she cried, he panicked, and the sharpness and mind that came with her nature were gone.

Xia Yuandie acted in a frightening scene, and finally coaxed You Lie out of the house. He had to drive more than 30 kilometers away and leave early every morning.

After You Lie was gone, she sat on the sofa as if she were out of her soul.

5 a.m.

It's about 8 p.m. in China.

The girl on the sofa, who had been looking out the window at the night before dawn, as if she was about to turn into a painting, finally moved.

She calmly picked up the phone on the table and made two calls.

The first call was to Dai Ling.

Sister Ling applied with the leaders of the Township Poverty Alleviation Office, and accompanied Grandma Xia to Kuncheng again, still living in a guest house. She said that the family of the victim had been blocked by the victim's family and could not go back, and Grandma Xia cried for a day today, and she was not allowed to tell Xia Butterfly about it.

She has been to the hospital twice in the past two days, the son of that family has just entered the sixth grade of primary school, and he is still in the ICU tonight, and the wife of that family has passed out several times and has been hanging bottles in the hospital......

As Dai Ling spoke, Grandma Xia woke up and probably noticed that her granddaughter was on the other side of the phone, and she insisted on calling it.

Thousands of miles away from the Pacific Ocean, Xia Butterfly heard the old man's voice like a broken gong, hoarse and indistinguishable.

"Worm, grandma, grandma is okay...... Don't come back, kid, learning is the most important thing, you have to listen to grandma's ......"

The girl on the sofa had been wearing a sculptural mask, and finally moved.

It was a little irrepressible sadness, but it was covered with a smile.

"Grandma, what did you say, I was going back."

"No...... No way! Grandma Xia's tense emotions seemed to collapse suddenly, and the old man on the other side of the phone cried miserably, "Little worm, little worm, if you listen to grandma, you will stay abroad and never come back...... In the future, if someone asks you, you will say that everyone in your family is dead, all of them are dead, and you are the only one left, and there is no one else, do you remember......

“……”

The mask cracked a little crack.

Then shatter away.

In the darkest night before dawn in Los Angeles, the girl on the couch slumped down silently. She cried as hard as she could, but she only bit her nightdress and didn't make a sound.

It was as if there was no sound of despair.

I don't know how long it took, but the grandmother on the other side of the phone was finally comforted by Sister Ling.

Dai Ling took the phone back: "Fluttershy, are you still there?" ”

Xia Butterfly woke up from the suffocating pain in her chest, she leaned back on the sofa, breathed, breathed, and then picked up her phone again.

"Sister Ling, I'll go back this week." The girl's voice was hoarse, "I'll figure out a way to compensate the victim's family." If they come to the door and ask you to pass it on, I will definitely ...... responsible. ”

Dai Ling finally couldn't help it when she heard this, she choked up a little: "How old are you, Fluttershy, are you going to pay it back for the rest of your life?" What does this have to do with you! ”

Xia Kites closed her eyes: "Someone is dead, there is a child in a coma, grandma can't afford to carry it, there is always someone to carry this matter." What's wrong with their family? ”

"Fluttershy......" Dai Ling sobbed on the other side of the phone.

"Sister Ling, grandma, please help me take care of it for two days first. I will send an email to Beicheng University with a return application, and when I go to the university to complete the withdrawal, I can end the exchange early and return to China within this week. ”

"Fluttershy," Dai Ling finally spoke up, "can you get your boyfriend ......"

The words are halfway through.

But it's also clear.

The girl leaning on the sofa slowly opened her eyes as if she shuddered, and after a few seconds, Xia Butterfly laughed.

"You know the situation of him and his family, Sister Ling, do I want him to go back and beg his grandfather, or do I want him to confess his mistake to You Huaijin?" The girl's smile was soaked with tears, and her voice was hoarse, "Sister Ling, I can't treat him like this...... Really, at least I can't do that to him......"

Because as long as she says it, he will do it.

But You Lie is such a rebellious, unyielding, and radiant person who should have gone everywhere.

He's got to dust for her.

He's tired enough.

What else did she want him to do? How could she bear it?

Xia Kite pinched her palms numb and stinged.

"Sister Ling, please send me the list of compensation, medical expenses, and the victim's family." The girl whispered, "I'll figure it out." ”

“……”

The computer was in a dimly lit room, emitting a faint cold light.

The list is at the bottom of the list.

A line is astronomical to her.

Xia Kites knew that it would go up, and that it would cost thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars a day in the ICU, and that child who was only 12 or 3 years old did not know what would happen in the future.

Again, there's only one way.

The girl closes the computer.

She sat quietly in the dark for a long time, and finally picked up her phone and made a second call.

Dozens of seconds later, the phone was connected.

The shadow of dawn fell on the girl, blurring her side into the darkness.

She opened her mouth, and finally said in a silent and calm voice: "Uncle You." Sorry......"

Xia Butterfly hallucinated about something and smashed to the ground, which was probably the only thing that the child in her heart had held tightly and had ever had.

She closed her eyes, and heard herself still cruelly open her mouth: "I need, to borrow you a sum of money." ”

Until many years later, Xia Butterfly will still remember this morning.

It was obviously a phone call from across the ocean, but You Huaijin seemed to be sitting in front of her.

He was dressed in a suit, gentle, condescending, and compassionate.

And she was exhausted, exhausted, hopeless, and inferior.

That's not You Huaijin's fault, Xia Kites knows very well that it's just a world of difference between her and the world where the You family is, the distance between clouds and mud.

That was where You Lie should have been.

Before his pride was shattered for her, before he was completely swallowed up by the mire in which she was, let him go, let him go back to be his radiant young master, and not taste the slightest misery of the world.

Until the end of the call, You Huaijin did not mention a single word, asking her to leave You Lie.

She brought it up.

She said she would leave Yau Yeol.

You Huaijin said that he didn't force it, they could continue to be together, and this was not a condition for him to help her.

Before the dawn of the day, the girl smiled in an empty voice.

"I don't want self-esteem, uncle. But I can't trample on his pride. ”

"I owe you, and I will not be able to repay your kindness in the future. As long as I live, you have a word, and I have no other words. ”

"But You Lie doesn't owe you, you owe him."

"So you can rest assured that I will make it clear to him that I took the initiative to ask you for the money. With your money, I am not qualified to appear in front of him again in this life. ”

After Xia Yuandie finished speaking, she thanked her and waited for You Huaijin to end the call.

Then the girl sat alone on the empty couch, picked up the computer, put it on her lap, and silently and calmly shed tears as she began to write her back-to-school application.
