"That's it?" Zeng Yuanxue was obviously stunned for a moment, thinking it was funny, "Those two people didn't save you just now, you still hope this world is better?"
"..."
"No more words?"
Shunian's eyelids moved, and his dry lips parted slightly: "Why should I tell you anything else?"
Zeng Yuanxue raised his eyebrows: "Maybe I can help you convey it to you... Mom?"
Shu Nian curled up on the ground, buried his face in his arms, and ignored him.
"We have to hurry up." Zeng Yuanxue didn't care about her attitude, got up and left the room, and came back soon, with an extra knife in his hand, "Otherwise, I won't be able to help you when the police come later."
Shu Nian slowly raised his head, and suddenly asked a question: "Don't you have any family?"
"..." Zeng Yuanxue's expression changed, but the corners of his mouth were still bent, and he stuffed the knife into her hand, "Hold it yourself, and then I will help you escape from this dirty world."
Shu Nian was at his mercy, and said calmly, "Aren't they ashamed because of you?"
Zeng Yuanxue's eyes widened suddenly, and he scolded: "Shut up!" The muscles on his face twitched, and his appearance was particularly terrifying: "Why are you ashamed? What did I do wrong? It's you who are wrong, it's disgusting."
"..."
"Do you know what I've been through? Do you know how much pain I've been through?" Zeng Yuanxue's voice became louder and his breathing became more and more rapid, "Who will help me?! Who will!"
"You can die." Shunian is no longer afraid of him as death is in front of him, "You are suffering, you can die."
Zeng Yuanxue sneered: "Why should I die?"
"Then why are other people? Everyone's life has unsatisfactory places." Tears unconsciously fell from Shunian's eyes, stained with blood on his face, and slipped down, "Only you, choose to hurt Others, come and save yourself."
Zeng Yuanxue calmed down his breathing, but still stubbornly said, "I'm saving you."
He didn't delay any longer, let Shu Nian hold the handle of the knife with the tip facing inward. Zeng Yuanxue held her hand in both hands, with cold eyes, and said with a smile: "You want to die, I'm just helping you."
Shu Nian didn't resist, nor did he respond to his words.
I just feel extremely tired.
Before the tip of the knife pierced her heart, she felt like she was about to die.
Shunem's consciousness became blurred.
Many scenes are not clear anymore, I just remember that the two men called the police. After waking up, I heard that the two men thought there was something wrong with Zeng Yuanxue, but they didn't have the courage to face it directly.
So I chose to leave this place and call the police.
Fortunately, the police arrived quickly.
Before Zeng Yuanxue's knife was stained with blood or hurt her, he was pushed to the ground by the police who broke into the door. Shu Nian was picked up by a policewoman and led out of the house.
Then, Shu Nian heard Deng Qingyu's voice.
Shu Nian's vision was a little blurred, and at that moment, he even felt like he was in heaven. She raised her eyes dully, looked at Deng Qingyu, as if she couldn't believe it, her voice was hoarse and choked: "Mom..."
Deng Qingyu's crying broke out immediately, her eyes were red, swollen and dry, her tears could no longer flow, she kept yelling "My Nian Nian", but she didn't dare to touch her at all, for fear of making her hurt.
In such a short period of time, Deng Qingyu also seemed to have been tortured, becoming haggard and thin.
Shu Nian looked at her, tears fell uncontrollably, unable to say a word.
Her gaze moved, and happened to meet Zeng Yuanxue's gaze.
He was grabbed by two policemen, his hands were handcuffed behind his back, and he did not resist. But it seemed extremely unwilling, Zeng Yuanxue's eyes were gloomy and cold, and his dark eyes were fixed on her.
Shu Nian's spine felt cold, and then his eyes went dark, and he completely lost consciousness.
…
…
Xie Ruhe didn't know how many times he sang "Conger Fly". It's just that at the end of the last time, he subconsciously yelled "Shu Nian", but she didn't get a response.
He looked sideways, and found that Shunian's breathing became steady, and he fell asleep unconsciously.
The corners of Xie Ruhe's mouth curled up, and he leaned over to tuck her in the quilt.
Quiet and bright room.
Xie Ruhe thought for a while, and lay down slowly. He stared at Shu Nian for a long while, and his ears felt hot for no reason. He turned over and was lying on his back.
Xie Ruhe was not used to sleeping with the lights on, so he didn't feel sleepy at all.
Besides, Shu Nian was lying next to her.
It was the distance that he could hug her as soon as he stretched out his hand.
Xie Ruhe knew that it was not good for him to make such a request, and after hearing the reasons he made up, she probably would not refuse. But he was really worried, afraid that she would do something to hurt him in such a state.
And he couldn't see it, didn't know it.
He always has such worries, and even wants to take her with him.
Take it with you wherever you go.
Thinking of what Shu Nian said, Xie Ruhe's eyelids moved, and he suddenly looked at her. After waiting for a few seconds, a trace of unnaturalness flashed across his eyes, and he asked hesitantly, "Do you want to get married?"
There was still silence in response to him.
Xie Ruhe licked his lips, knowing that she was asleep and couldn't hear, but still felt embarrassed. His Adam's apple slipped, he cleared his throat, as if practicing, and asked again: "Shu Nian, do you want to get married?"
"..."
After a long time.
Xie Ruhe's voice sounded in the quiet room.
He propped his chin, stared at Shu Nian intently, and suddenly noticed a tear slipped from the corner of her eye. Xie Ruhe paused, touched the corners of her eyes with his fingertips, and murmured: "Why are you crying..."
Shunian didn't show any signs of waking up, as if he was haunted by a nightmare, and his throat was crying like a kitten.
Xie Ruhe frowned: "Did you have a nightmare?"
He thought for a while, reached out to hold her hand, and rubbed it with his fingertips, with a tone like coaxing a child.
"Don't be afraid."
As if feeling his presence, Shu Nian's breathing gradually became steady.
Xie Ruhe stared at her, lowered his head and kissed the back of her hand, and asked again: "Do you want to get married?"
after awhile.
As if asking and answering himself, Xie Ruhe said softly: "I want to get married."
"With you."
Maybe it's because I went to bed early, or maybe I didn't sleep well. The next day, Shu Nian still woke up at dawn. She sat up and stood there blankly for a while.
Shu Nian turned his head and noticed that Xie Ruhe next to him was still sleeping. She sniffed, not wanting to wake him up.
Shunian sleeps against the wall, unable to get out of the bed from the other side, and can only turn over from the end of the bed or Xie Ruhe. After thinking for a while, she carefully moved towards the end of the bed.
As soon as she moved, Xie Ruhe suddenly moved. As if being quarreled by someone, he turned over.
Shu Nian was taken aback, subconsciously looked back.
But he found that Xie Ruhe still had his eyes closed, showing no sign of waking up.
Shu Nian thought about it again, and felt that the distance she crossed from Xie Ruhe was closer than when she got out of the bed from the end. In this way, the speed of getting out of bed should be faster, and it will not wake him up.
After making a decision, Shu Nian lifted the quilt from his body.
Shu Nian moved his body, observing his hands and feet hidden in the quilt, lest he might be crushed. She stretched out her leg hesitantly, and stepped on the edge of the bed, just when she was about to move her hand over.
Her hand was suddenly held and pulled forward.
Shu Nian paused for breath, leaned forward, and pressed onto Xie Ruhe's body. Before she could react, she raised her eyes and met Xie Ruhe's black eyes.
His eyes were clear, as if he had just woken up.
The two stared at each other for a few seconds.
Xie Ruhe stretched out his hand to touch her face, and said in a hoarse voice, "Why didn't you call me when you woke up."
Shu Nian was a little at a loss because of the distance and posture, and stared at him blankly.
With a move of Xie Ruhe's hand, he supported her back and sat up. He didn't say anything more, his feet touched the ground, he picked up Shunian, and walked out of the room.
Shu Nian grabbed his clothes subconsciously, his body was stiff, and he said, "Why do you keep hugging me?"
"..." Xie Ruhe's expression froze for a moment, and he said honestly, "I want to hug."
Shu Nian just woke up, his mind is still in a daze: "Why?"
Is there any reason
Just want to.
Xie Ruhe told the truth, but Shu Nian still wanted to ask why. He couldn't think of a reason, so he could only respond in silence.
After leaving the room, Shu Nian tilted his head and took the initiative to answer for him: "Is it like, when you see a small cat or dog outside, you want to hug it."
Xie Ruhe carried her back to the original room.
Hearing her description, he thought for a while, and reluctantly hummed.
Shu Nian frowned, emphasizing: "But I'm not that short."
"I know." Xie Ruhe put her on the bed, found a pair of slippers to put on her, and said seriously, "Wear your shoes well, and you will be 1.6 meters tall if you wear them."
Shu Nian was choked by his words, and retorted without confidence: "It's okay if you don't wear it..."
Xie Ruhe squatted in front of her, looking up at her. The height gap between the two was suddenly reversed. He looked calm and gentle, like a big golden retriever.
Because of the look in his eyes, Shu Nian felt inexplicably guilty.
After a while, she admitted with resignation: "Okay, no clothes."
Xie Ruhe chuckled and patted her head.
"Go wash up."
By the time Shu Nian came out of the bathroom, Xie Ruhe had already finished washing.
Milk is being boiled in the kitchen at this time.
Shu Nian walked over and stood near him. Thinking back to the dream she had last night, she began to feel irritable and anxious again, worrying that one day in the future, such a picture might become a reality.
Xie Ruhe asked her: "Eat toast, okay?"
Shu Nian nodded absently.
Looking at the milk in the pot, Shu Nian blinked and suddenly remembered something. She pursed her lips and asked casually, "Do you remember that I used to bring you milk to drink?"
Xie Ruhe responded: "I remember."
In this area, Shunem's height is quite common among girls, so it doesn't make people feel particularly short. But she always wanted to grow taller. She used to drink a glass of milk every morning, noon, and night without stopping.
She is afraid that she will not grow taller, and she never touches carbonated drinks.
At that time, Xie Ruhe was already over 1.7 meters tall.
He is not particularly tall among boys of the same age, but he still stands out.
Shu Nian is always worried that she will be taller than Xie Ruhe someday in the future. It will cause Xie Ruhe to feel inferior and dare not be friends with her anymore.
After worrying like this for a while, Shu Nian began to bring milk to Xie Ruhe every day.
I hope Xie Ruhe can also grow taller like her.
At that time, Shu Nian brought two boxes of milk every day, thinking that he had already drank a glass at home, so he gave Xie Ruhe the two boxes he brought to drink. He didn't seem to like drinking very much, but he couldn't refuse her tough attitude.
after that.
Shu Nian's height didn't move at all, Xie Ruhe suddenly jumped to 1.8 meters.
Shunian no longer brought him milk.
"My mother always talked about me at that time." Shu Nian said self-consciously, "Bringing milk for two people every day, it's like raising a little boy outside..."
"..."
Speaking of this, Shu Nian's words stopped suddenly.
Both fell silent.
Realizing that his words were wrong, Shu Nian's face turned red in an instant, and he quickly changed his words: "That's right, I used to be nice to you... What I want to express is this..."
"Huh?" Xie Ruhe looked at her sideways, with a smile that couldn't be hidden in his eyes, "Why are you being nice to me?"
Shu Nian's lips moved, but he couldn't find a reason to explain it.
The next moment, Xie Ruhe raised his lips, narrowed his peach blossom eyes slightly, and moved close to her eyes. Noticing Shunian's subconsciously receding head, he stretched out his hand to fix it, playing with his taste: "Because I'm your little boy raised outside?"
