"Then, I have said everything that needs to be said, and I will leave this girl to you."
"I gotta go."
The girl's friend came to see her. Chen Ying, who had relieved herself of her responsibilities, felt relaxed all over. Then her eyes and brows were filled with fatigue, and she yawned.
"I need to go back and have a good rest."
What she misses most now is her bed.
But before lying down, I have to take a hot bath to warm my body after being frozen all night...
"Thanks a lot."
Xiao Xiao did not stay with Chen Ying, "Go back and have a good rest."
"Um."
"I will."
Chen Ying showed a big smile to Xiao Xiao, "Master Xiao, goodbye."
She nodded to Yu Yanyan and Ruan Nuan again.
"Thank you very much, classmate."
Ruan Nuan looked serious, "Thank you for staying with Chen Xi."
"I would rather leave..."
Chen Ying is very candid.
She spread her hands and said, "But I just can't get over the hurdle in my heart."
She is indeed a good person.
Chen Ying smiled.
She looked at the girl sitting on the stone and said, "Hey, classmate, I'm leaving."
"..."
It was no surprise that the girl was indifferent, she shrugged, "Goodbye, classmate."
Then, Chen Ying turned around and left.
...
If there is another chance to meet her, I hope to see a different face of this girl.
Well, a little more energetic.
If it's still like this, then... they'd better not meet each other again.
...
Watching Chen Ying's figure disappear at the end of the road, several people withdrew their gaze.
"Chen Xi..."
Ruan Nuan looked at the quiet and dull girl.
She took a deep breath and softened her tone, "You called me before. What did you want to say to me?"
"..."
"You brought your mobile phone, right? Why don't you answer the phone?"
"Uncle and aunt are very worried about you."
"They've been looking for you all night."
"Thinking about where you will be? Thinking about whether you will encounter any danger?"
"Wondering if you were waiting for them to find you..."
The girl lowered her head slightly and remained silent.
Ruan Nuan pursed her lips and felt a breath of anger in her heart that made her frown.
"Auntie fell down."
The girl's body suddenly stiffened.
"It's no wonder."
Ruan Nuan stared at the girl's face, not missing the slightest change in emotion, "They haven't had a good rest since they found out you were missing."
"Didn't even eat anything."
"Still looking for you everywhere."
"I have been in a state of fear all the time."
"Uncle is a man after all. He is stronger and can still persevere."
"Auntie can't stand it anymore."
"If uncle hadn't called you home just in case, no one at home would have missed your call. This reason would have comforted auntie, and auntie wouldn't want to stay at home at all!"
Ruan Nuan took a breath, "We all thought something happened to you."
"result......"
There was obviously nothing wrong with the girl in front of her.
Then, "Chen Xi!"
Ruan Nuan said solemnly, "What do you mean?"
"runaway?"
"Do you know how worried your uncle and aunt are about you?!"
"Did you know that your uncle and aunt screamed your name until your throat became hoarse?!"
"Did you know that auntie cried when she couldn't find you?!"
"Auntie has been blaming herself for not letting you stay alone at home..."
...
"Chen Xi, what are you doing?"
"Do you know what you're doing?"
"If there's anything we can't talk about properly, we have to-"
"cannot!"
The girl suddenly turned her head, her dull eyes staring straight ahead.
Her voice was hoarse and difficult as she had not spoken for a long time, and it was a bit sharp because of the violent fluctuations in her emotions.
"cannot."
The girl repeated it again in a low voice.
His face was so pale that it was almost transparent, and there was even a hint of despair between his brows and eyes.
Ruan Nuan was stunned.
Yu Yanyan on the side was also shocked by the somewhat sad look on the girl's face.
Xiao Xiao looked into the girl's arms.
In the eyes of ordinary people, it is very weird for a girl to look like she is holding something when she clearly has nothing in her arms.
However, in Xiao Xiao's eyes, girls are nothing more than normal.
In her arms... lies a monster that looks like a cat, but has one eye and three tails.
This is ridicule.
...
"......Why?"
Ruan Nuan asked slowly, "Uncle and aunt love you so much, they will give you whatever you want, and they will support you in whatever you want to do."
"Did you tell them? Why-"
"They don't want me anymore!"
The girl who was originally so quiet and almost dull screamed hysterically, "They don't want me anymore."
"They don't want me anymore..."
The girl lowered her head heavily and murmured over and over again.
"Pap~"
Tears fell on the stones.
"Pa-ta-pa-ta~"
The girl raised a hand, covered her face and cried silently.
Her whole body was shaking.
The occasional choked sobs added to the depressing and hopeless atmosphere surrounding the girl.
...
Ruan Nuan was stunned.
What's the meaning?
Why can't she understand what the girl is saying?
"Hey, are you mistaken?"
She twitched the corner of her mouth, as if she felt funny, but her expression was a bit stiff, "How could uncle and aunt not want you?"
"Did you hear what I just said?"
"Because of your disappearance, my uncle and aunt are going crazy with anxiety!"
"They want you back."
"How could they not want you?"
"How on earth did you come up with this idea?"
"That's ridiculous."
"That's what I heard."
The girl tightened her arms a little, and the warmth in her arms made her greedy.
It seems that even the cold heart has some comfort.
...
"Listen, what did you hear?!"
Ruan Nuan took a breath, "Who did you listen to? Where did you hear it?"
"They are all talking nonsense, you-"
"Mom and Dad said it."
"who?!"
The girl's words made Ruan Nuan's eyes widen suddenly, almost thinking that he was hallucinating.
"How can it be?"
Ruan Nuan's first reaction was disbelief.
How could that couple say such a thing?
Father Chen and Mother Chen's love for their daughter is beyond words, and anyone who is not blind can see it.
Heck, you can feel it even if you can't see it.
"Chen Xi, did you hear wrongly?"
This is the only possibility Ruan Nuan can think of.
"Do you not trust your uncle and aunt that much?"
"They will be sad if they find out."
...
"I heard that right."
The girl shook her head and spoke in a low voice, almost talking to herself.
"How could I hear it wrong?"
...
That day, Chen Xi suddenly woke up and wanted to go out to get some water.
Then, she heard words coming out of the study room with the door open a crack.
"I will take Xiaoxi to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow."
"...How about giving up."
"The doctors have said it's hopeless."
"Xiao Xi's eyes will never recover."
...
"Stop wasting money."
"Because of Xiao Xi's eyes, all the family's savings have been used up."
