She hugged Huanhuan tightly and opened her lips slightly.
"Huanhuan, is it better if I die?"
"As long as I am alive, I will only cause trouble to my parents."
"But... what to do?"
"I... still want to live."
...
"Then live."
Ruan Nuan said in a deep voice.
The girl suddenly raised her eyes and looked over.
His eyes were obviously dull and unfocused, but Ruan Nuan felt like he was being watched.
"Life is yours. As long as you want to live, no one can take it away from you."
"and-"
The corners of Ruan Nuan's mouth raised slightly, and her voice was gentle, "Chen Xi."
"I think you should have a good chat with your uncle and aunt."
"Instead of thinking wildly by yourself, the more you think about it, the worse it gets, and you even run away from home in fear."
She didn't give the girl much time to think.
The girl has reached a dead end.
No amount of time given to her would help.
One afternoon and one evening is enough.
She took out her mobile phone and said, "Uncle is also in this school. I asked him to come over."
Without waiting for the girl to respond, she had already dialed the phone.
She just informed the girl of the fact, not asked for her consent.
The call was answered quickly.
"Uncle Chen."
"Found Chen Xi."
...
The girl unconsciously stretched out her hand, as if she wanted to stop him.
But because he couldn't see it, he couldn't grab Ruan Nuan's phone.
Every word Ruan Nuan said to her father on the phone made her a little overwhelmed.
Thinking that her father would come over soon, she even became frightened.
She is afraid that her father will be angry.
She is more afraid that her father will be disappointed in her.
Originally, she still had the idea of giving up on herself, so instead of pestering her parents and waiting for them to become more indifferent and disgusted with her, it would be better for her to be more conscious and leave first.
Now, she had completely forgotten this idea and was thinking about how she would explain her absence at night.
...
"Uncle Chen will be here soon."
Ruan Nuan hung up the phone, "Chen Xi, even parents can't understand their children's thoughts."
"Uncle and auntie love you very much."
"Tell them your thoughts and fears."
"Don't hold it in your heart alone."
"Hurt others and hurt yourself."
...
The girl buried her face in the hair on Huanhuan's back.
The soft and silky feel is very comfortable.
The girl didn't notice at all.
The chaos in her mind made her head feel a little throbbing.
...
Ruan Nuan looked at the girl's strange posture and twitched the corner of her mouth.
It's no wonder that Chen's father and Chen's mother are exhausted both physically and mentally and feel quite burdened.
Not only was Chen Xi invisible, his behavior was a bit... unusual.
She really treats Huanhuan like a kitten in existence.
But the more serious the girl is, the more worried those of them who care about her will be.
...
The sound of wheels rolling over the snow was heard.
Because this place is in a remote location, no one sweeps the snow around it, and no one comes here to play, so it is relatively well-preserved.
Xiao Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly.
There are two police cars.
...
The police car stopped not far away, and the door opened with a "swish" sound.
Father Chen was the first to get out of the police car and looked up eagerly.
His eyes swept across, not lingering on Xiao Xiao and the others, but looked directly behind them, his eyes narrowed slightly.
Sitting on that big rock...isn't it the daughter they have been looking for for a long time?!
Father Chen's eyes suddenly widened.
Teacher Ruan was right, her daughter was indeed here, and she seemed unharmed.
...
Father Chen first walked quickly, then walked faster and faster, and finally started running.
"Xiao Xi!"
"I'm so glad you're okay!"
Father Chen patted the girl's shoulder gently, his face showing the first comfortable smile since he learned about Chen Xi's disappearance yesterday.
The corners of his eyes were a little red.
This child is really worrying.
...
Chen Xi sensitively noticed something.
She looked towards the direction where the sound came from just now.
"dad?"
"What’s wrong with you?"
she asked hesitantly.
...
"I'm fine."
Father Chen touched the top of his daughter's soft hair.
The tentacles were cold and even slightly moist.
He frowned.
How long has this girl been sitting here?
After seeing his daughter's surprise slowly calm down, Chen's father became filled with doubts one after another.
However, looking at his daughter's pale face, Father Chen knew that this was obviously not the right time to ask any questions.
The top priority is to take my daughter home first.
"Xiao Xi, come home with me."
Father Chen reached out and grabbed his daughter's arm.
Chen Xi lowered his head and his eyes suddenly turned red.
She slowly stretched out a hand.
"There is also a hand for daddy."
Father Chen grabbed one of the hands extended by his daughter and stretched out the other hand.
"Dad help you down."
...
Chen Xi was silent for a while.
"Huanhuan, come up."
She pushed Huanhuan to climb onto her shoulders and warned with some worry, "Huanhuan, lie still."
"Be careful not to fall."
"Hold on to my clothes."
"Huanhuan?"
Feeling the grip on her shoulders, she smiled and said, "Hold on, Huanhuan."
Then, she extended her other hand to Father Chen.
...
Father Chen looked at his daughter's previous words and deeds as if she was singing a one-man show, with an extremely complicated look on his face.
My daughter has had this problem ever since she lost her sight.
She imagined a cat named Huanhuan accompanying her.
Their daughter was in a special situation, so after several attempts to test her were ineffective, they just followed her lead.
However, Father Chen sighed deeply in his heart.
They are willing to follow their daughter, but what about the others?
My daughter will be hurt.
It is a foregone conclusion that my daughter will be blind.
However, he no longer wanted to put labels similar to mental disorder and delusion on her.
My daughter is already living in a colored light.
It's just that such colored eyes are mostly sympathy, regret, pity, or pity.
When such colored eyes turned into weirdness, prying, and staying away, everything changed.
...
"dad?"
Chen Xi kept stretching out her hand, but never waited for her father to hold her hand.
She suddenly felt uneasy and scared.
What's wrong?
The surrounding area is very quiet.
She could hear her heartbeat getting louder and louder.
The outstretched hand trembled slightly.
The open five fingers were bent spasmodically.
...
"ah."
Father Chen came back to his senses and said, "Sorry, dad was a little distracted."
He grabbed the girl's hand firmly with both hands and led her off the stone.
Father Chen let go of the girl's hand.
There was another hand that didn't let go.
He was a little scared.
He was afraid that if he let go of his hand, the daughter he finally found would disappear again.
He looked at Ruan Nuan and said, "Teacher Ruan, thank you very much."
