Zhao Xiaokui, who has no home, has nowhere to go.
Shen Zhifei saw that she didn't want to go to those two mansions, and took the opportunity to suggest, "Otherwise you can go home with me, okay?"
Zhao Xiaokui got into Shen Zhifei's car.
On the way back, she was even quieter than when she came, sitting in the passenger seat, like a Barbie who had suddenly lost all her anger.
Even the seat belt was fastened by Shen Zhifei.
She used to be so, so looking forward to returning to human society, but now, her expectations are like broken glass, all empty.
The heart seemed to be clenched by an invisible hand, and even the entire chest cavity was aching.
The garage door slowly descended, and the surrounding environment gradually became darker. Shen Zhifei did not turn his head. Hearing the sobbing in his ear, his lips pursed into a straight line.
But she didn't bother Zhao Xiaokui who was licking her wounds in the dark.
In the rearview mirror, the girl sitting in the passenger seat, with her legs tucked into her chest, her head buried between her knees, sobbed softly, looking weak and helpless.
She is so strong, yet so fragile.
…
In the Internet age, the speed of information dissemination is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Sometimes, it only takes a few hours for a video to go viral.
Just as Li Songya opened her short video app, she was startled by the flood of information.
Her mobile phone is of average quality, and processing these messages took her mobile phone stuck for a while before she recovered.
She clicked on the notification, only to find that the video she posted on the Internet yesterday had already had tens of millions of views and millions of likes.
This video was taken yesterday when she passed by the door of her house and found someone fell into the water.
There were a lot of onlookers at that time. She stood by the river, and when she opened the video, she was facing the direction of the bridge head, and took a photo of the whole process of Zhao Xiaokui climbing over the wall and jumping down.
She herself never thought that just an ordinary video of righteousness and bravery would get so many likes.
When she clicked on the comment area, she found the reason why the video became popular—
"It's our Zijin! Wuwuwu jumped down without hesitation at all. It's really great."
"Those who blackmail our family will stick their heads out, and I'll hammer them for you."
"Isn't it really hype? The picture is so clear that it looks like it was staged."
The girl who saved the life yesterday turned out to be a star
Li Songya, who never chased stars, was very surprised, but she still replied earnestly under the questioning comment area: "It's true, it's not a posed shot, it was shot by accident. Yesterday, many people took a video."
The topic of #zhaozijinsaving people# quickly became a hot search on Weibo.
Her fans who were stunned by Zhao Zijin's involvement in the triangular scandal suddenly became assertive, "Kangkang, this is our family's Zijin!"
As for the voices suspected of falsification, they also disappeared under the testimony of the S city fire brigade and several major official websites.
As Zhao Xiaokui's agent, Qian Wenyan was congratulated on the contrary, only to know that his artist was on the hot search.
Looking at the congratulatory text messages and the fancy compliments on Weibo, he immediately became overjoyed.
There is no agent who doesn't look forward to their artists being good. For agents like him who independently sign contracts with artists, artists are their cash cows.
Seeing that the popularity of Zhao Zijin's name is getting higher and higher, Qian Wenyan immediately forgot his dissatisfaction because the other party was too independent and assertive, and put the thought of leaving Zhao Zijin on the air for a while. He happily dialed the other party. phone.
He laughed all over his face and felt that he must have a good talk with Zhao Zijin, "Hey, Zijin..."
…
In the familiar stairwell, Zhao Xiaokui grabbed the bag strap on his shoulder and climbed up step by step.
The unit door of 602 is a dark green iron security door. The door body and door frame have been corroded by time and have mottled rust. There is a prismatic blessing in the middle of the door. made a hole.
As soon as she raised her hand, the door was opened from the inside.
"I know you're only back now, and the meals are cooked for you. Look at you, you can't stay home all day long. The children leave school at five o'clock and get home at half past five. You have to play outside every day. Got home at half past six…”
grandmother? !
Zhao Xiaokui opened her eyes greedily and stared at the old man who was much taller and more energetic than the short and ricket old lady in her memory.
Grandma Zhao was talking, but she didn't respond when she saw that she didn't smile like usual, but looked like she was about to cry, and suddenly panicked, "What's the matter, who bullied our little bully, tell grandma, grandma will help you Pack him up!"
The old lady deliberately made a fierce look, Zhao Xiaokui bit her lip and stared at her tightly, trembling all over her body, tears welling up from her eyes.
The old lady squatted down and wiped her tears with her hands, "Don't cry, don't cry anymore, how ugly it is to cry..."
Her hands were not delicate at all. Years of hard work made them as rough as sandpaper, but Zhao Xiaokui felt an unprecedented tenderness.
"Grandma, grandma—"
She rushed forward, hugged her grandmother's neck, and cried loudly in her arms like a child.
"Grandma, grandma—"
She had a lot of things to say, but her mind was blank and she couldn't say anything. She only knew that she repeatedly called out to the people closest to her, crying happily and wantonly in the other's arms.
Grandma patted her back and smiled faintly, "Here, here, grandmother is here!"
"You lied to me!" Zhao Xiaokui complained in tears, "You lied to me, you are not here, you have already left, you left, you left me here, you don't want me anymore..."
"But haven't I been here all the time?"
Zhao Xiaokui stepped out of her grandmother's arms. The old lady's eyes were as warm and tolerant as she remembered. When she looked at her, she was full of love.
At this time, Zhao Xiaokui felt like she knew everything—like every time she had a fight with someone, no matter how well she hid the wound, her grandmother would secretly give her medicine at night, just like when she took an exam With a failing grade, my grandmother always doesn't mention anything, just silently buys her favorite food...
She said, "Have I not been here all the time?"
"The house has been demolished, and the home is gone..." Zhao Xiaokui choked.
"It doesn't matter," the old lady patted her head with a smile on her face, "a house doesn't mean anything, a real home is a place with family, I will always be here, you just Always at home."
bathroom.
The sudden ringing of the mobile phone was sharp and harsh.
"boom-"
Zhao Xiaokui mercilessly smashed the phone with some music into the corner.
Under her strength, Carrot 8 was smashed to pieces in an instant, with parts and fragments flying all over the floor, and even cracks appeared on the smashed tiles.
The door of the bathroom was pushed open roughly, Shen Zhifei pushed the door open, she saw the fragments of the mobile phone on the ground at a glance, and also noticed the person sitting in the water.
The girl was naked and looming under the cover of her long hair. At this time, her chest rose and fell violently, and her eyes were blood red, like an enraged beast.
Such Zhao Xiaokui made every nerve in Shen Zhifei's body scream the word danger.
Shen Zhifei stepped forward, her heart beating like she was about to make close contact with the lion that was not in the cage.
"Little Kwai."
Hearing his name, Zhao Xiaokui turned his eyes.
Shen Zhifei slowly squatted down in those beast-shaped eyes, then knelt on the edge of the bathtub and stretched out his hand towards Zhao Xiaokui.
She took the seemingly ferocious girl into her arms little by little, like soothing a pet, and kept stroking her long hair.
Zhao Xiaokui, who was obediently lying on her shoulder, looked at the skin that was close at hand, suddenly opened her mouth, and bit her hard on her shoulder.
"his..."
Shen Zhifei gasped in pain, but she did not push Zhao Xiaokui away, nor did she make any struggles, and even the moment she felt the pain, she controlled her urge to get rid of it.
"Good... good..."
With her soft voice and patiently soothing tone, Zhao Xiaokui finally slowly let go.
Shen Zhifei felt a warm liquid and left it down his back. If it wasn't for Zhao Xiaokui's saliva, it was probably her blood.
Shen Zhifei's brows furrowed for a moment and then loosened, and he felt like he was hit by an electric current again and his whole body trembled.
The girl stuck out her tongue and licked away the blood little by little. The bright red in her pupils gradually turned into bright amber.
"… Feel sorry."
"this is nothing."
Zhao Xiaokui glanced at the place where he had bitten out four cavities, and bared his sharp fangs.
Although her fangs were sharp before, they were not so obvious. These fangs were the changes brought about by the first-order metamorphosis.
Everyone will experience different changes when they advance. Some people will grow taller, some people will become shorter, some people will run faster, and some people will be more resistant to heat and cold...
Zhao Xiaokui's change is more and more inclined towards the creature like mermaid.
The fangs are just one of the most insignificant features of mermen, and the sharp fangs help them divide and tear their food in the deep sea, just like sharks on Earth.
She even felt that maybe at a certain advanced stage, her legs might become the tails of a mermaid.
When Zhao Xiaokui's thoughts diverged, Shen Zhifei said actively, "I think the person who called you just now should be your agent."
"Who?"
Zhao Xiaokui couldn't understand who she was talking about.
"Qian Wenyan." Shen Zhifei, who had figured out the ins and outs before he came, was very clear about this, "yesterday's video of saving people went viral on the Internet, he should be looking for you because of this."
"He shouldn't be looking for me." Zhao Xiaokui licked the sharp tiger teeth. The human oral structure should be a little different from that of a mermaid. The fangs that are just right for a mermaid are not suitable for her. Feeling a different feeling than before, he said indifferently, "I'm not Zhao Zijin."
