What Zhong Youyou didn't know was that Qin Yao actually saw her for the first time when he was very young.
It was a beautiful day, the sky was blue and the sun was pouring through the clouds like sugar eggs. Qin Yao was still in junior high school, the driver drove the car to the school gate, just as he got out of the car, a little girl ran towards him, flustered, embarrassed and dirty.
Qin Yao's first reaction was whether the little girl was being chased by traffickers or something, and his expression became serious, planning to ask the driver to open the door to let her into the car and take her to the police station.
But the one who caught up immediately was a middle-aged woman.
The middle-aged woman ruthlessly grabbed the little girl's arm, dragged her legs to the ground and backed away, cursing fiercely as she pulled.
"Is it for nothing to raise you? If you are asked to do some work, you will run out. Come back with me quickly, don't be ashamed!"
The little girl bit her lip tightly and said nothing, then it seemed that she was hurt by the middle-aged woman pulling her hair, and when she turned her head, she bit the middle-aged woman's wrist like a tiger cub.
The middle-aged woman let go of her hand immediately in pain, and cursed again. The little girl took advantage of the confusion and fled, her figure very light.
Qin Yao, a teenager who was still in junior high school, wondered how a little girl who was a few years younger than him could burst out with so much energy. He stood there in a daze and didn't move for a long time.
For Zhong Youyou that day, he might just be a passer-by who bumped into him while running away, but Qin Yao who came back to his senses looked down at the white shirt on his body, and a few dirty fingers were smeared on it print.
But the strange thing is that Qin Yao didn't feel dirty at that time, but a strange feeling crossed his heart.
The second time we met was still near the school. Qin Yao guessed that the little girl and her mother lived in a poor area two streets away from the school.
That day, Qin Yao didn't ask the driver to pick him up. He was walking across the street to the vinyl shop he was familiar with, planning to pick up some vinyl to go back.
As soon as I turned my head, I saw the little girl at the intersection. She was looking up at the delicious food on the stall, such as stinky tofu and candied haws, which attracted her so much that she couldn't move away. Her eyes were full of longing and envy.
Qin Yao, who was still a young man, had always been proud and arrogant, and never meddled in other people's business, but for some reason, he walked over by accident that day.
He actually wanted to buy her two bunches of candied haws to make her happier.
But before Qin Yao approached, the middle-aged woman came again, immediately picked up the little girl, and looked around vigilantly, as if she was afraid of bumping into someone.
"I told you not to come here, you must listen, and I will break your leg next time!"
Qin Yao was angry and thought, doesn't she just want to eat candied haws? Buy it for her, she looks so pitiful, why don't you even give her a bunch of candied haws
Qin Yao simply wondered if the middle-aged woman was just the little girl's stepmother, not her real mother, otherwise, how could someone treat her own daughter like that
This is another world that Qin Yao, who lived in a superior and harmonious family since he was a child, has never felt.
He hurried forward, wanting to give the middle-aged woman some money so that she could buy some delicious food for the little girl, but the middle-aged woman disappeared quickly as if she was afraid of meeting someone.
Qin Yao walked over, only to see her hugging the little girl and hastily disappearing at the corner of the street.
The little girl kept staring at her legs, still trying to escape.
Qin Yao turned his head and glanced at the stall that the little girl was looking at pitifully just now. At this time, the price was still very cheap. A bunch of candied haws cost one yuan, and a bowl of stinky tofu cost three yuan. Even, the owner of the stall wanted to sell more stinky Tofu can also be sold by the block, and there are three for 50 cents.
But even so, middle-aged women are reluctant to buy it for little girls.
He slowly bought two bunches of candied haws and a bowl of stinky tofu, which he never ate himself. He took these two things to the school, looked up at the sky, and suddenly felt very disappointed.
He has everything, but the little girl can't even get something sweet.
The third time I encountered it was in winter.
Qin Yao was wearing a black cashmere coat, a scarf, and a stack of books in his arms. He was coming out of school, planning to cross the street corner and get into his family's car.
At this time, the roadside was full of snow, and it was not easy to park. He was always kind to others, and he did not make it difficult for the driver. He insisted on driving the car to the school gate, but asked the driver to stop a street away.
What's more, he always walked a little more way there intentionally or unintentionally, hoping to meet that little girl again.
Unfortunately, after the last two encounters, he never met again, and he didn't know where the little girl lived.
This day, after walking two steps, Qin Yao stopped in his tracks.
He saw that in the heavy snow all over the sky, the little girl was standing bent over beside the snow, carefully shoveling the snow.
Qin Yao noticed that she wasn't wearing gloves, her fingers were as red as carrots from the cold, and she was only wearing a thin cotton jacket, which was loose and airy, making people shiver with cold.
She should be very cold, but there is no other way, she jumps up and stamps her feet when she is cold, her eyes are still full of hope.
Qin Yao knew that some people would be hired in the neighborhood to shovel snow, and they could earn more than ten yuan a day. At such a young age, did the little girl also come to shovel snow to make money
Qin Yao walked over, trying to think of an opening statement.
But immediately, someone came behind the little girl.
It was another boy, who looked fat and about the same age as the little girl.
"I haven't finished shoveling yet." The little fat man ate his snacks, and said disgustedly: "Yuyou, you are too weak, you have been shoveling from six o'clock in the morning to now after school, and you have been shoveling all day. Then I will see the foreman. I'll give you a few bucks."
The girl named Yoyo let out a breath of white mist, rubbed her hands together, and glanced at the potato chips in the little fat man's hand.
She didn't say anything and continued to shovel the snow, but Qin Yao could tell that she seemed a little hungry.
The little fat man seemed to be her friend. After eating two bites of potato chips, seeing the little girl shivering, he finally showed kindness and broke off a quarter of a small potato chip and handed it over.
"Okay, here's a little bit for you."
The little girl named Yoyo suddenly jumped up, put down the shovel, wiped her body with her hand, took it carefully, and put the potato chips into her mouth.
After eating, she was still a little bit unsatisfied, licked her fingers, and then looked at the big bag of potato chips in the little fat man's hand.
"Can you give me two more slices? Just two slices. I'll help you with your homework."
"Just you? Your grades are so good. You helped me with my homework last time and got all the questions right. My mother found out and let me get beaten up by my mother!" the little fat man complained, "I will I won’t write homework for you.”
She was suddenly disappointed, flattened her mouth, and continued to pick up the shovel to shovel the snow in silence.
The young Qin Yao couldn't see it, he walked quickly to the 24-hour convenience store opposite, and walked through the shelves all the way.
He took a lot of snacks, potato chips, potato chips of various flavors, biscuits, red date biscuits, milk biscuits, and Wangzai milk. He also took a large bag of warm babies and put them into the big bag together to pay the bill.
However, when he came out with two bags and excitedly wanted to give them to the little girl, the snow on the street had already been shoveled.
The little girl had already left, and so had the little fat man, leaving only a garbage bag of potato chips on the ground.
Qin Yao chased for a few steps, but didn't know which direction to chase. The heavy snow covered his footprints and he couldn't see the direction clearly.
He stood for a long time.
Until the phone in his pocket kept vibrating, the driver asked where the young master was in a panic.
He walked back wearily, thinking, the next time he sees someone, he must hurry up and get to know him.
However, he didn't expect that that was the last time he saw the little girl before going abroad. During those days, he went to the corner of the street there many times, but he never saw her.
One day, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, and went to ask every family in the poor street, only to find out that the mother and daughter had moved.
Those neighbors all said: "They moved in a hurry. They don't know whether they are hiding from debts or people. In short, no one knows where they went."
The young Qin Yao just missed his girl.
Qin Yao was only fourteen years old that year.
Later, Qin Yao went abroad and stayed in a foreign country. Because his family's financial strength was strong enough, he did not live in embarrassment like other overseas students, but still lived a prosperous life.
Walking on the street, he often saw homeless people curled up in a ball, with a dog and a bowl next to them, waiting for help.
Qin Yao often put the money in silently, and for some reason, he always thought of the scene of seeing the little girl several times in his mind.
Qin Yao regretted that when he saw the little girl for the first time, he didn't protect her behind and block her.
Qin Yao also regretted that when he saw the little girl for the second time, he didn't buy her a bunch of candied haws.
Qin Yao regretted even more. When he saw the little girl for the third time, he didn't buy her even a pack of potato chips.
After staying abroad for several years, although Qin Yao was brooding over this matter, he gradually forgot it in his heart. When he returned from his studies, everyone fawned on him, and everyone was amazed, saying that he was the best successor in the history of the Qin family.
At that time, Qin Yao was high-spirited and full of ambition. After meeting his grandfather and grandpa, he went to a banquet held by Zhong's family, which was said to be a new local rich man.
He has always been indifferent to this kind of banquet, but he just came back from abroad and needs to meet these old uncles and uncles and get to know their faces.
So after he went to the banquet, he just sat on the side with a glass of wine, expressionless.
Cocktails were mixed, the lights were bright, and on the spiral staircase, when it was heard that the daughter of the Zhong family came down, the crowd was full of flattery and flattery, and he felt bored. Don't make waves.
Until he raised his eyes and saw Yu Sixue, the best friend of the daughter of the Zhong family in the corner, holding a glass of red wine and suddenly pouring it on a slender figure from behind—
The back is so familiar, even after a few years, it is still deeply imprinted in his mind.
With a twitch of his eyelids, he immediately stood up and strode over there, with a gloomy expression, a bit of anger, and a bit of freshness of reunion after a long absence.
He found her, unexpectedly on this occasion.
He was angry, happy, and distressed.
"Miss Yu Family, it's not good to bully people in this kind of situation." He dragged the girl behind him expressionlessly.
When Yu Sixue saw him for a split second, his eyes lit up immediately, which he completely ignored.
He just turned around in a hurry, took off his coat, and put it on the girl. Looking at the girl's snow-white profile, his heart skipped a beat.
But the girl named Zhong Youyou lowered her head and lowered her eyes at that time, without even looking at him, said "Thank you" indifferently, then turned and walked towards the bathroom.
Qin Yao looked at her back, feeling a little lost.
He walked to the bathroom, hesitatingly planning to wait for the girl to come out, as if the time had returned to the snowy days many years ago in an instant, he was anxiously thinking about the opening line, like a kid with a fever in his ears.
However, at this moment, he heard other people's gossip.
Those people said that the reason why Zhong Youyou made trouble at the banquet was because she fell in love with her sister's fiancé, Shi Zhitang.
At that moment, the smile on Qin Yao's face slowly froze, and his heart fell straight down.
…
In the following many years, Qin Yao regretted it more than once. If he stretched out that hand and held her hand when he saw Zhong Youyou, who was still a little girl, for the first, second, and third time, things would have changed. won't be different.
But nothing if.
He watched Zhong Youyou not being favored at home, the light in his eyes gradually dimmed, and he called a group of friends to the bar in a self-defeating manner.
He searched for it one by one, and finally found Zhong Youyou in the corner, carried her on his back, and protected her to go home.
She was so drunk that she couldn't even pronounce his name, and thought he was a kind driver.
Qin Yao put the girl's head on his knees, wiped the sweat off her forehead with the warmth of his palms, and could only smile wryly when she heard her complain that no one liked her.
She was playing with a group of girls from the vocational high school. On the day she got into trouble with a gangster, he gave up on a very important meeting, galloped all the way, ran a red light and went to her.
In the end it turned out to be a false alarm.
Business was lost, but luckily she was fine.
At that time, he had just returned to China, and his career was not stable. The old man had scolded him more than once, saying that he had always been excellent, so why did he play around and delay so many things for a girl.
Qin Yao remained silent.
All he could do was to attend every banquet held by Zhong's family for her, so as not to cause conflicts between her and Meng Shixuan at the banquet.
If he was there, he could protect her.
But she never noticed him, she regarded him as a very kind brother.
Qin Yao didn't know how long he could stay with her like this, and he had expressed his intentions, but the girl was unmoved, and even tried to stay away from him calmly after he showed his thoughts too much.
She is really indifferent when she becomes indifferent.
Qin Yao... In this way, he can only bury all his thoughts in his heart and stay by her side.
On the day of the college entrance examination, it rained heavily. Qin Yao waited for her outside the examination room with an umbrella. Seeing her break down crying in the heavy rain after the examination, because at that time she had already gone astray. Fighting and losing a lot of things.
Qin Yao's heart seemed to have been gouged out, and he silently stayed by her side holding an umbrella.
Qin Yao thought it would be like this for the rest of his life, until he sent her to the palace of marriage and handed her over to another man she deeply liked. That man may not be as nice to her as he is, but that man will make her heart move, not himself, like a shadow she can't see, standing paranoidly behind her, waiting for her to turn around.
But he never expected that during the days when he was abroad, things took a turn for the worse——
After he came back in a hurry, her life was completely ruined.
Qin Yao has never seen such a sad and sad Zhong Youyou. It was the first time she hugged him when she was collapsed and powerless. He hugged the girl, his eyes were scarlet, and vowed to take everything she wanted for her. , to take revenge for her on all the people she wants to take revenge on.
So the ending was tragic, Zhong Youyou died, and he was imprisoned.
Zhong Youyou's short life was spent by Qin Yao's company. He changed from a proud son of heaven to a prisoner, and the whole Z city was full of blood and blood, but he didn't regret it.
If there is any regret, it is that when he was a teenager, he didn't understand what it was like to be poisoned when he saw her for the first time.
If he knew at that time that it was called infatuation, he would not hesitate, he would immediately step forward and take her away.
Later, Qin Yao spent time in prison. It was a lonely, long day that seemed to have no end in sight.
He dreamed that God gave him a wish.
So he greedily made a wish.
he wished—
His girl can have a next life, she can grow up normally, have a healthy and harmonious family, be happy and healthy.
He wants his girl to get everything she deserves, to be loved by everyone, to shine the way she should.
If he was more humble, he still hoped that he would be given one more wish, that his girl could turn around and see him who would stand behind her in the next life.
He also felt that he was too greedy.
If only one wish can be realized in the end, he can cross out the last one.
As long as she is safe.
The dream was so long that Qin Yao was in a trance.
Opening his eyes again, he was in a daze, and he was at a banquet again.
He was being scolded by the old man when the mobile phone in his pocket rang suddenly. He seemed to have lost the memory of his previous life, but it seemed that there were some obsessions that he couldn't ask for deeply in his mind.
He took out the phone and was instantly ecstatic.
…
Three words flashed on the phone screen, it was his star.
