He is very young now and has a long life ahead of him. I hope he can live for himself.

"How old...are you now?"

Gu Zhi's expression was slightly nervous, his lips were slightly opened, and he looked at Yan Manjia intently, anxiously waiting for Yan Manjia's response.

"Hmm...17 in a few months."

Yan Manjia stopped writing and thought for a moment to respond to Gu Zhi.

"Then you are only 16 years old now."

Gu Zhi frowned slightly and said gently.

Then he got up and walked to the window, looking out the window and lost in thought.

After Yan Manjia finished finishing the question, she called Teacher Gu several times, but Gu Zhi didn't respond. Yan Manjia walked to Gu Zhi's side softly.

"Teacher Gu, I'm done."

Yan Manjia's voice was slightly higher than usual.

Gu Zhi blinked his eyes, and when he came back to his senses, he saw Yan Manjia's figure in the window glass, with a warm smile on his face. He took the book, looked at it carefully, and nodded.

"Correct, go back."

Yan Manjia took the notebook with a happy expression, said thank you happily, and ran out of the office after saying that.

She was happy not because she got the question right, but because she was too suspicious about the "locked cell phone". It was just another classmate's cell phone, not another "unreasonable person" as she imagined.

A well-known mobile phone.

After she returned home yesterday, she calmly thought about what happened if it was Teacher Gu's cell phone. It was just normal for a person to have two cell phones. Why should she be suspicious? But the more she thought about it, the more she felt.

She is uneasy, there is no sense of security in her heart at all, she will be worried whether it is her parents or others, she does not trust anyone, and the only one she trusts now is Teacher Gu, who is different from others.

She returned to the classroom, sat down and saw the words Jian Kong left for her.

The abbreviated text written in the scratch pad:

"If you choose to believe it, you have to let go."

What she believes and cares about most is the other self in her heart.

A very happy smile appeared on Yan Manjia's face. This is what she should be like, with beautiful and lovely dimples on her face.

She is depressed and should not exist in this world, but she is exactly who she is now. God gave her cute dimples to make her happy, but she is used to smiling politely when facing others.

Her expressionless look will make others look at her with special eyes, and her melancholy but clear eyes like the sea will attract the attention of boys. There will also be girls who are envious of her and will look at her with blank eyes. She doesn't care at all.

The real reason is that the mother's back cook at the burger restaurant used all her strength with both hands to pull her face upwards and make her smile to every customer who entered the store. Even Yan Manjia's face

She was extremely red and bruised, but her mother still didn't let go. She didn't let go until a customer came into the store, but after letting go, she kicked her in the stomach hard and kicked her in the corner.

He also pointed at her face and said viciously: "Wait a minute, you must wear a mask, don't let the guests see your ugly face!"

After saying these heart-wrenching words in a low voice, he turned around and went to greet the guests with a smile.

Yan Manjia hid in the back and squatted in the corner, covering her mouth with trembling hands and crying bitterly.

In the dark corner, she was so desperate.

Countless tears streaked across the bruises on her cheeks, making her burning face even more painful. Her trembling hands quickly wiped away the tears. She gritted her teeth and endured the pain in her stomach and cheeks.

The originally fair face turned red and covered with bruises.

Her red ears listened to the gentle voice of her mother at the front desk, and she remembered the arrogant and ferocious voice when speaking to her. For some reason, her breathing became rapid, and she gradually became unable to breathe, and the light in her red eyes gradually disappeared.

, the sensible eyelids knew that the girl was tired, so he closed the door and let the girl sleep.

The girl huddled in the corner under the light makes people feel pity for her, and they want to use their gentle side to hug her, so as not to endure endless torture.

Her physical and mental exhaustion far outweighed the physical pain.

There is no room left in the heart for happiness.

Full of exhaustion...

In the office, Gu Zhi stood in front of the window without moving. His eyes in his glasses were as bright and bright as torches, and he looked quietly at the blue sky with a very serious expression.

Thinking about what Yan Manjia just said: "17 in a few months."

"There is still one year left, there is plenty of time."

After Gu Zhi said this, the cell phone in his belt rang. Gu Zhi looked at the phone, pursed his lips, took a small breath, and answered the call.

"Hello, father."

There was a hint of gentleness in Gu Zhi's gentle voice, which showed that he respected his father and was very nurturing.

On the basketball court, Xiong Renfeng was exhausted but still trying to grab the basketball from Wang Zici. Wang Zici was also a little tired.

There were originally seven games played, but Xiong Renfeng misguidedly made a careless shot, and Wang Zici easily won six games. However, Wang Zici did not expect that Xiong Renfeng was playing shameless and refused to admit defeat and wanted to continue, so Wang Zici agreed because he had nothing to do.

, Xiong Renfeng couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed to the ground.

Wang Zici was exhausted and sweating profusely, but he was happy. He had never exercised like this since he came here. He raised his arms to block his forehead, squinted at the scorching sun in the sky, and looked at the scorching sun on both sides of his ears.

Sweat was dripping from his temples. He unintentionally lifted his clothes to fan himself, and the sun shone on his clearly visible abdominal muscles.

"Look, those abs!"

The girl sitting by the flower bed excitedly pulled the hand of her best friend next to her, with a look of infatuation on her face. She stretched out her hand to touch the air and imagined that she was touching Wang Zici's abdominal muscles. Wang Zici fanned herself and quickly took off her clothes.

The girl's best friend didn't see it, and she felt very regretful and stamped her feet vigorously.

Xiong Renfeng, who was paralyzed on the ground, noticed the girl's behavior. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. He was now very tired of this boy who stole his limelight and took away the attention that originally belonged to him.

Wang Zici walked to Xiong Renfeng who was lying on the ground, stretched out his hand to Xiong Renfeng, and wanted to pull Xiong Renfeng up, but Xiong Renfeng didn't appreciate it. He stood up and put away Wang Zici's hand, glanced at Wang Zici, and picked up the basketball next to the basketball hoop.

When he left, he turned around and said something fierce to Wang Zici.

"This is my basketball, don't touch it."

The most profound meaning of this sentence is to tell Wang Zici not to appear on this basketball court from now on. This is a reminder.

Wang Zici raised the corners of his mouth helplessly. He didn't expect that this boy who refused to admit defeat could be so stingy. He was just playing basketball to relax, but he was actually dissatisfied and refused to let himself play basketball here again, but he didn't care.

I just don’t think it’s necessary.

After school, Yan Manjia hurriedly left the school, followed closely by Wang Zici.

"I'm not going home now."

Yan Manjia stopped and whispered to Wang Zici, not wanting Wang Zici to follow her anymore.

"Then wherever you go, I'll go with you."

Yan Manjia looked at Wang Zici's sincere look and recalled what Jian Kong had written on the draft paper yesterday morning, telling herself that you should try to trust the neighbor downstairs.

Yan Manjia nodded, indicating that Wang Zici could continue to follow her.

Yan Manjia rushed directly from the mud stairs on the side of the mountain to the top of the mountain. It was the first time for the slow-moving Wang Zici to see his sister walking so fast. He was very curious about what was on the mountain that attracted his sister so much, so he quickened his pace, taking two or three steps.

Just stepped onto the top of the mountain.

The mountains and plains are filled with vegetables cultivated by the farmers. The mountain has a wide view. Standing on the edge of the mountain, you can overlook the entire small rural town. Wang Zici stood on the top of the mountain but saw no one, so he looked around for his sister.

He saw his sister hurriedly running past him from a small cave. She looked very nervous and turned left and right in the grass, looking for something.

"What's wrong?"

Wang Zici walked up to Yan Manjia and asked.

Yan Manjia looked at Wang Zici and then continued to look through every bush, not missing any place.

"The puppy is missing."

"It won't work if you look for it this way. It depends on me."

After Wang Zici finished speaking, the dog started barking.

"Woof! Woof! Woof!"

Don't tell me that the voice is even better than that of a puppy.

Yan Manjia followed closely and started calling the puppy in dog language.

The two people's barking echoed around the mountain from halfway up to the bottom of the mountain, each sound louder than the other.

On the edge of the steep cliff, the desperate, lost and mud-covered puppy had given up its struggle and closed its eyes, waiting for death. It had been trapped for a day and a night. It was so hungry that it had no strength. When it heard the voice of hope, it opened its eyes.

Stand up with your eyes and wake up from the desperate situation.

"Woof, woof, woof."

The puppy made an expectant sound, hoping that its companion would rescue it.

"That's it."

Yan Manjia ran to the edge of the cliff excitedly. Wang Zici quickly stepped forward and grabbed his sister's arm and pulled her behind him, with a serious look on her face.

"Just stand here and don't move."

Wang Zici squatted on the side of the mountain and carefully observed the location of the puppy. After knowing the location of the puppy, he was ready to take the risk to save the puppy.
