There is an oil painting on the wall of Luo Xi's room, with a beautiful frame. The sunlight shines in, and the beautiful prince in the painting smiles elegantly and noblely. Every time Xiao Cheng walks past the room and sees the painting, he will be very happy. Seeing that the two children get along so well, the father is in a very good mood, often laughing heartily, eating more than before, and looks fatter like Maitreya Buddha.
Whenever Dad asked about Luo Xi's situation at school, Yin Xiamo always answered that he was doing well.
Luo Xi is very popular, Luo Xi is very good at his studies, Luo Xi is very polite, Luo Xi won a prize in the speech contest, and Luo Xi was selected as the best student.
Then her father would laugh happily again, and she would also laugh happily when she saw his chubby smiling face. As for what kind of person Luo Xi was, it didn't matter, as long as he could bring happiness to her family and didn't hurt her family.
However, Luo Xi was testing her bottom line.
Xiao Cheng's painting won the first prize in the youth category of the national art exhibition. In addition to the honor, he also received a considerable amount of bonus. Yin Xiamo originally planned to use the money to buy Xiao Cheng a good set of painting tools, because she didn't like his painting tools to look shabby among the children in the same studio.
But my dad actually used that money to buy a guitar.
The guitar was given to Luo Xi.
That night, Luo Xi played the guitar all night long. He lowered his head, plucked the strings with his slender fingers, and had a gentle smile on his lips. Dad sat in the rocking chair and listened with a smile, Xiao Cheng lay on Luo Xi's knees with his chin in his hand and listened excitedly, and Mom seemed to be fascinated by it.
Luo Xi played for a long, long time.
Late at night, Yin Xiamo went to the courtyard to water the flowers and plants.
The night dew wet the bluestone platform, leaving a few wet marks. Luo Xi leaned against the cherry tree and sang an unknown song. The cherry tree had passed its blooming period, and the dense branches and leaves were slightly reflected by the moon. The bright light shone on his black hair and the guitar between his fingers, and the strings were flashing with silver starlight.
Hear her footsteps.
Luo Xi raised his head and looked at her, with a charming mist in his eyes, and his whole body seemed to be shrouded in moist night mist. He waved the guitar in his hand at her mockingly and said:
"Hate me?"
Yin Xiamo clenched the watering can in her hand, her face expressionless.
Luo Xi's fingertips plucked out a string of gorgeous and strange melodies. His smile was shining, and the evil spirit suddenly dissipated. There was a childish boast between his eyebrows, "You want to buy painting supplies for Xiao Cheng, right? Unfortunately, it is my guitar now. Come on, come and hate me, come and take revenge on me."
She glared at him.
Oh, so he actually knew that she wanted to buy painting supplies for Xiao Cheng, so it wasn't a coincidence that his father bought them for him? Did he ask his father for it
Biting her lip, she raised the watering can high in her hand.
The thin and rapid stream of water splashed on the roots of the cherry tree, and also splashed on his clothes and guitar. Luo Xi cursed repeatedly and wiped the water off the guitar with the corner of his clothes in anger. Yin Xiamo turned and walked straight to the flower pots scattered around the courtyard, sprinkling water while saying lightly:
"You're not worth it yet."
With the guitar, Luo Xi is like an angel with wings, with a dazzling halo above his head. After the flag-raising ceremony every Monday, the school would have some short entertainment performances. In the past, each class would take turns to send students to sing, dance or recite poems, but later it gradually became Luo Xi's personal stage.
Whenever Luo Xi appears.
Rays of sunshine.
Birds chirped lively in the green branches.
The whole world was silent.
The music played by his crystal fingertips, the songs sung by his charming voice, the soft luster of his black hair illuminated by the golden sunlight of the morning, his skin as beautiful as cherry blossoms, his gentle and graceful lips, even the corners of his clothes fluttering in the wind and his white cotton socks, are all breathtakingly beautiful.
All the students forgot to breathe.
All the teachers forgot to breathe.
It was as if I had entered an incredible magical kingdom in an instant.
Until one day, the magic was finally broken. When Luo Xi was singing in the early morning, a helicopter appeared over the school.
The teacher and students looked up in shock.
The helicopter's propeller created a strong airflow, circling in the air above Shenghui Campus, flying lower and lower. Finally, the helicopter landed in an empty area of the square.
Everyone in the square turned to look at the plane.
Blue sky.
White clouds.
The helicopter door opened.
A handsome hand in a leather glove rested on the golden armrest of the hatch.
The girls covered their mouths with tears in their eyes.
Oh my god!
They knew who it was!
A handsome young man walked down from the helicopter. He was tall and handsome, wearing a pilot's helmet and sunglasses. His chin was as proud as that of a European aristocrat, and his shoulder-length black hair was tied up with a black ribbon. A fussy man dressed as a British butler also came out of the plane and followed the young man respectfully.
"Master..."
"Master!"
"Master~Master..."
The girls in the square began to scream! They couldn't help but let tears of excitement fall from their eyes! The young master went to the United States three months ago: there were rumors that he would not come back this semester, but they didn't expect that they could see the young master again!
The boy took off his leather gloves as he walked, and turned his hand slightly, and the butler took it respectfully. The boy took off his pilot's helmet and sunglasses, and the butler followed closely and took it. The boy was handsome and arrogant like the sun god Apollo, and as he walked towards the crowd in the square, the girls screamed, their hearts about to jump out of their throats.
Like the sea parting, the crowd involuntarily made way for the boy.
Dark and arrogant eyes.
There was a faint glimmer of emerald in his eyes.
The young man walked forward from the crowd with an expressionless face. The students made way for him one after another. The crowd was so close to him, but no one dared to greet him. Screams surged in their chests, but no girl dared to shout out loud.
The air became suffocating.
The boy's air was arrogant and domineering.
The crowd moved aside.
The boy walked straight forward without looking around until he came in front of a girl.
He stopped.
Staring down at her.
An emerald-like light flashed across his eyes.
Amid the astonished gazes of the crowd, the young man bent down, took Yin Xiamo's right hand, and placed a kiss on the back of her hand.
The kiss was cold.
Yin Xiamo's hand was held in his cold palm. She looked up and smiled brightly at him.
At this moment in Shenghui campus, all the focus is on the young master. Even the white clouds and bright sunshine are gathered in the sky above the young master's head.
No one remembers.
There were still people singing on the stage in the square.
Morning dew.
Silver microphone.
Luo Xi played the guitar and sang softly, his voice was beautiful and light, floating in the lonely and empty world. If someone looked at him, they would be surprised to find that Luo Xi was as beautiful as a fairy at this moment, a fairy who was more beautiful and arrogant because of being ignored and hurt.
*****************************
The dining table was filled with bowls and chopsticks, and there were many dishes. Mom had cooked almost all of her specialty dishes, and the portions were enough for three people. But even so, Mom still seemed uneasy, looking at Dad worriedly from time to time, and then looking at Ou Chen beside Yin Xiamo worriedly.
The restaurant is small.
Ou Chen ate quietly. He ate very little and was silent. Because of his silence, everyone suddenly became very quiet. Dad originally laughed a few times in welcome, and Ou Chen also smiled politely. However, his arrogant and noble aura, and the respectful butler standing behind him, made Dad's smile awkward. Xiao Cheng lowered his head and ate obediently. Luo Xi also ate quietly, as if he didn't exist at all.
The atmosphere is a bit weird.
Yin Xiamo put a chicken wing into Xiao Cheng's bowl and said, "Eat more and don't paint until late at night."
"Well, thank you, sis!"
Xiao Cheng looked up and smiled at her.
Ou Chen's back suddenly stiffened. He slowly put down his chopsticks. The housekeeper behind him respectfully handed a clean silk handkerchief to him. He wiped the corner of his lips with the handkerchief.
"Have you finished eating?"
Yin Xiamo said in surprise.
Ou Chen nodded.
"No, you're eating too little." She put another chicken wing from the plate into his bowl, "Eat more, this is mom's specialty."
Ou Chen looked at her.
He picked up the chopsticks again and slowly ate the chicken wing. Then he wiped the corners of his lips with a silk handkerchief, stood up and said, "Everyone, please enjoy your meal."
Dad and Mom also stood up in a hurry. Dad said anxiously: "Master, the food is too simple. Please..."
“It was a great dinner.”
Ou Chen said calmly, his eyes falling on Yin Xiamo, then he turned and walked out of the restaurant and into the courtyard. Through the window glass, he could see his waiting figure in the moonlight. Dad, Mom, and Xiao Cheng all looked at Yin Xiamo. She finished her meal as if nothing had happened, then put down her bowl and chopsticks and walked out.
Luo Xi looked at Yin Xiamo's leaving back and raised the corners of his lips in mockery.
The moonlight shines through the branches of the cherry tree, mottled and bright as water. The bluestone platform is slightly cold, Ou Chen sits on the housekeeper's coat, the ribbon on his black hair dances lightly in the night wind, he seems to be thinking about something, a distant aura makes it difficult to approach.
Yin Xiamo sat next to him.
Two people were sitting quietly under the cherry tree in the moonlight.
She reached out and held his arm, looking sideways at him with a gentle look in her eyes, "Why did you come back so suddenly? Didn't you say we had to wait for more than a month?"
"who is he?"
Ou Chen asked in a deep voice.
She was stunned for a moment before she realized what he was asking.
"He is the child that my father brought from the orphanage. His name is Luo Xi."
"How long will you stay?"
"I don't know. Dad likes him very much. Maybe he will stay for a long time."
He stared at her, "You like him."
"No."
"You hate him."
"No." She smiled.
This smile made Ou Chen's back stiffen again.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
His voice was cold.
"Why should I tell you if you have nothing to do with me?" She smiled at him and glanced at him with bright eyes, "Hey, you didn't come back just for him." He was supposed to be back in a month, but he flew back so suddenly. I didn't hear him mention it when we talked on the phone last night.
In the dark.
Ou Chen's face flushed unnaturally.
Not wanting to continue this topic, Yin Xiamo yawned lazily and asked coquettishly: "Did you bring me a gift this time?"
"have."
"What is it?" she was curious.
"What do you want?"
"Uh... I can't think of it..." She thought for a moment, blinked her eyes, and said with a smile, "It's a necklace, right? Or clothes? You haven't given me a doll for a long time."
"If you like it, I'll send someone to accompany you to buy it tomorrow." Ou Chen stared at her.
"Need not."
She shook her head. She had never used the jewelry and clothes he had given her before. Such luxurious things were not suitable for her. But if she didn't show curiosity about his gifts, he would be unhappy.
A small and exquisite green box.
The box is inlaid with sparkling emeralds.
In the moonlight.
There was a piece of green lace in the box, with long, gorgeous patterns, which fluttered gently in the night wind.
Yin Xiamo twisted the green lace around her fingers in amazement, "Hey, it's actually lace!"
"Do you like it?"
"But what is this for?"
Ou Chen took the lace from her hand, leaned down, and ran his fingers through her seaweed-like long hair. The green lace with intricate and beautiful patterns was tied into her hair.
"From now on, wear it every day."
He said to her.
Yin Xiamo was stunned, "Why?"
"You can only let your hair down in front of me." His fingers slid to her cheek, his voice was low.
"Hey, you are really overbearing..." She sighed, "I have to answer your phone calls no matter how late it is every day, and I let Lao Jiang follow me almost every step of the way every day. Now you even want to control my hair?"
Ou Chen's chin had a proud line, "You are mine."
Yin Xiamo looked at him.
Unconsciously, four years have passed. From the first time she met him, to him falling in love with her, to her falling in love with him, so many things have happened, but he seems to have not changed at all. Just like when she broke into the Ou family villa, he was shooting arrows on the lawn in the garden when he was fourteen years old, handsome, indifferent and domineering.
Without waiting for her answer, Ou Chen turned his head to look at her. In the night, there were some complicated emotions in her eyes. She stared at him like that, which made his back gradually stiffen, but the words he said were still cold and stubborn, "Why, are you really in love with that Luo Xi, so..."
"It's you I like."
Yin Xiamo interrupted him, her eyes quiet.
Ou Chen held his breath, a surge of joy surged in his heart, but the corners of his lips were still in a stiff state, making his smile look surprisingly childish. She was originally a little angry, but she couldn't help but compromise suddenly because of his smile.
She sighed, leaned against his shoulder, and whispered, "I will tie the green lace every day... But you have to trust me, okay?" Otherwise, his excessive tension and domineeringness would make her breathless.
Ou Chen reached out and held her in his arms.
In the bright moonlight, the shadows of the two people were reflected obliquely on the slightly wet stone platform.
After a while.
In the darkness of the night, Ou Chen asked in a low voice.
"Did anything happen during this period that I need to help you with?"
She shook her head. “No.”
"… "
"Oh, by the way, can I ask you a favor?" she suddenly remembered.
"Um."
"Don't come to my house again."
Ou Chen pushed her away, his face turned cold. She pulled his arm, and seeing that he was still stern, she couldn't help but laugh.
"Hey, I just told you, why are you still the same, getting angry at the slightest thing." She said mischievously, "You know I hate it the most when you're like this."
He looked at her coldly.
"You know, every time you come to my house, my parents and Xiao Cheng are all very awkward, and the atmosphere is weird. You, it's really out of place to be at my house... We can make an appointment to play outside in the future."
She leaned close to Ou Chen's face and said, "Hey, if you get angry again, I'll be angry too."
There was a hint of half-joking, half-threatening tone in her voice.
The moonlight is like water.
The branches of the cherry blossom trees sway gently in the night.
Ou Chen stood up and said to her, "I can promise you, but you have to have lunch with me every day for the next month. I will ask the driver to pick you up."
After saying this, he walked out of the courtyard.
Outside the yard, the driver had already started the car. The butler stood beside the car and respectfully opened the door for him.
The night deepens.
Yin Xiamo sat on the stone platform, hugging her knees in a daze. Her body shrank and her shadow became a tiny ball. Green lace fluttered on her long hair.
A figure walked up to her and enveloped her in shadow.
She knew it was Luo Xi.
Because he has a faint smell like white mist.
"So you and I are the same kind of people."
He looked down at her, his smile a little evil, weird but beautiful. She didn't look at him, and continued to be in a daze, as if being in a daze was her greatest pleasure at the moment.
After a long time, she said calmly: "That's right, so stay away from me."
A black Bentley sped along the night streets.
"Master, have you told Miss Yin that you spent a week weaving that lace yourself!" Butler Shen turned around from the front, and his stern face became very nosy, which was very different from the appearance he showed in front of outsiders just now.
Ou Chen looked out the car window in silence.
"You can't do this, Master. If you like a girl, you should confess your feelings to her and say sweet words to her. You always have a cold face and you put so much thought into Miss Yin but you don't tell her. How could Miss Yin know?!" Butler Shen kept nagging, "You also made the gemstone brooch last time, but Miss Yin never wore it for a day. Why did you..."
There was a flash of displeasure in Ou Chen's eyes.
Butler Shen coughed a lot and closed his mouth unhappily.
The car window slowly rolled down, the night wind blew in, Ou Chen supported his forehead with his fingers. Her eyes were as erratic as the sea, sometimes coquettish, sometimes angry, sometimes gentle, sometimes indifferent, and when she let her long hair down, she was always so lazy and charming.
So, she had to tie her hair up.
Ou Chen's pupils tightened.
Butler Shen in front suddenly shuddered.
************************
The parking lot in front of Shenghui College was filled with all kinds of luxury cars. Since Ou Chen came back from the United States, the young men and women who used to not attend classes and only receive elite education at home have also appeared one after another. Shenghui suddenly became an aristocratic college in a comic book. Every day, students from ordinary family backgrounds are dazzled by the gorgeous clothes and lavish pomp of the young men and women.
However, in Shenghui, only Ou Chen was respectfully addressed as "Young Master".
The other young men and women followed him every day, eating in the school cafeteria, reading in the library, practicing fencing in the fencing hall, and swimming in the swimming pool. Among the huge group of young men and women, there was only one person who could get close to the young master.
Only Yin Xiamo.
Only she could stand beside the young master, listen to him, and help him get his clothes. Because she was the young master's girlfriend, the fourteen-year-old young master had declared her special status four years ago.
"What the hell, young master!"
Several girls in the square covered their mouths in shock and huddled together, watching their leader being beaten by several men who looked like bodyguards. They should have rushed over to protect the leader, but they didn't dare. The girl with short hair was beaten black and blue, and looked even worse than the fat girl she had beaten, but she was still fighting back desperately, cursing incoherently.
"So what if I scolded his girlfriend?! Next time I see Yin Xiamo, I will beat her to death!... If you can't kill me, I will beat all of you to death in the future!" The short-haired girl yelled angrily. A bodyguard grabbed her hair and slapped her hard several times. Blood gushed out of the corners of her mouth.
A handsome boy waved.
Several other bodyguards hurried over.
The handsome boy said, "Seal her mouth."
"yes!"
Several huge pieces of tape were slapped on the short-haired girl's mouth. She whimpered and struggled, her expression angry, but she was beaten without being able to curse. Other students watched from a distance. When they heard that she was beaten because she bullied the young master's girlfriend, no one dared to approach her.
“She didn’t bully me.”
A faint voice sounded.
The students looked over and found that the young master had already walked into the crowd. Yin Xiamo stood beside him, followed by the housekeeper and several young masters and ladies. The students immediately made way for him, not daring to stand in front of him. When the handsome boy saw the young master, he hurried over and said angrily:
"Brother, this bad girl once bullied Sister Yin!"
Ou Chen's pupils suddenly turned cold.
"She didn't bully me." Yin Xiamo repeated... again.
"But, I heard..." the handsome boy was a little anxious.
"You heard wrong."
Yin Xiamo ignored him and walked towards the short-haired girl. The bodyguards looked at each other, not knowing how to react without hearing their master's orders. She squatted down and quickly tore the tape off the short-haired girl's face, looking calmly at the girl's angry eyes.
"You go now."
She said to the girl with short hair.
"Yin Xiamo! I will kill you!" The short-haired girl had blood at the corner of her mouth and her eyes were fierce. The humiliation of being beaten made her whole body tremble with anger.
Yin Xiamo smiled.
"Hey, I wasn't the one who hit you." She raised the corners of her lips and smiled faintly, "Don't bite like a dog. That person hit you to please the young master, what does it have to do with me. There are people who treat you well and people who treat you badly in this world. Your friends didn't dare to save you, but I saved you. You should be grateful to me, that's the truth."
The short-haired girl was stunned.
Yin Xiamo stood up and walked back to Ou Chen. The handsome boy was also staring at her in amazement. She was too lazy to talk, so she grabbed Ou Chen's fingers and shook them. Ou Chen held her hand in his palm, knowing that she was already very impatient.
"Brother." The handsome boy felt a little uneasy.
Ou Chen's voice was cold and distant, "Song Yamin, please call me by my name from now on. I don't have any brothers or sisters."
There was a sound of giggling behind him, and those young men and women glanced at Song Yamin with disdain. The Song family is very good at maneuvering in the political arena, but unfortunately this trick might not work on the young master.
Yamin blushed and said, "I'm sorry, brother... No, Master, did I cause you trouble..."
Ou Chen patted his shoulder.
Only then did Yamin breathe a sigh of relief.
"Sister Yin, I am Yamin, a freshman in junior high school. Young Master is my most respected senior, and in the future, Sister Yin will also be my most respected senior!" The smile on his face was extremely innocent.
Yin Xiamo smiled at him and nodded.
Over there, the short-haired girl kicked away the followers who surrounded her and scolded her for being useless and cowardly, and shouted at Yin Xiamo's leaving back:
"Yin Xiamo!"
Yin Xiamo turned around.
"My name is Fang Jinhua! Remember this! I will return to you all the humiliation I suffered today!" she shouted at the top of her lungs.
Yin Xiamo looked at her without interest.
Ou Chen frowned.
But after that day, Yin Xiamo never saw the girl named Fang Jinhua in school again. There were rumors that she transferred to another school, rumors that she was expelled from school, and more rumors that the young master used some means to prevent her from appearing in front of Yin Xiamo again.
*********************
The return of the young master to Shenghui has more or less affected Luo Xi's brilliance. Luo Xi's beauty and gentleness are what the young master does not have. However, the young master's dignity and background are also beyond Luo Xi's reach. Girls can get close to Luo Xi, but they cannot get close to the young master. The young master is like the farthest star in the dark night, shining with cold light. Because they know they can't get him, they are even more fascinated. Therefore, Luo Xi has become the most possible beautiful dream in their fantasies.
Unfortunately, this dream was soon and cruelly shattered.
When the incident happened, Yin Xiamo was leaning on the stretched Lincoln car, listening to music with headphones on. She held a towel in her hand and watched Ou Chen jogging around the lake in the early morning.
She heard everything later.
It is said that after the flag-raising ceremony that day, Luo Xi played guitar and sang on the square stage as usual, and the students below were fascinated by his singing. Suddenly, someone walked out of the crowd, walked onto the stage and stared at him in surprise.
"Are you Luo Xi?"
"Shouldn't you be in jail? When were you released?"
the man asked in surprise.
These two sentences.
These two sentences were amplified by the microphone on the stage and boomed in the speakers on all four sides of the square.
There was an uproar in the audience.
It turns out that Luo Xi was born in an orphanage. It seems that his mother was a prostitute who abandoned him because of poverty. He was adopted by many families since he was a child, but was sent back to the orphanage because of misbehavior. Once he was adopted by the political celebrity Song family, but he stole Mrs. Song's jewelry and was arrested by the police.
All of Shenghui's students were stunned.
Some girls even fainted.
They couldn't bear the fact that the prince they thought was so excellent was so dirty.
The afternoon sun shines in through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the restaurant. Although it is known as one of the best restaurants on campus, the expensive decoration and meals make it exceptionally quiet.
Yin Xiamo lowered her head and flipped through the magazine boredly.
Ou Chen drank tea quietly.
The other young men and women looked at Yamin with wide eyes.
"He doesn't look like him at all, does he?" Yamin's face was filled with childish distress.
"When he first came to our house, I liked him so much. I followed him around and called him 'brother' all the time. Mom and Dad liked him too. But later we found out that he was just pretending. He didn't like us at all. He even cut up the new clothes Mom bought for him and threw them into the trash can."
"ah… "
There was a sound of gasps.
Yin Xiamo's eyebrows twitched imperceptibly.
"Then we found out he was stealing things! Small antiques, Dad's famous pens, Mom's jewelry, and even my pocket money, he was stealing everything." Yamin said with frustration, "My mom felt sorry for him and wanted to send him back to the orphanage, but he was so bad that he even stole my mom's wedding diamond ring!"
"ah!"
A louder exclamation.
"There was nothing we could do. The wedding diamond ring was too important to my mother, so we had to ask the police to come. Then, Luo Xi was put in juvenile detention." Yamin lowered his head. "I was too impulsive. I shouldn't have told Luo Xi's story in front of my classmates. I was just too shocked at the time. I thought he was still in prison. I didn't expect to run into him."
After he finished speaking, the young masters and ladies hurriedly started discussing:
"Ah, I heard that people who grew up in orphanages are very dark-minded!"
"They were originally garbage, that's why they were sent to the orphanage."
"What a shame! Luo Xi looks like the perfect prince in a comic book, but I didn't expect him to be so dirty. No wonder mom always told me not to associate with people of that class. Oh, how horrible!"
"He doesn't look like one!"
"If he is obviously a thief, who would dare to adopt him? Poor people want to climb up the social ladder, so they pretend to be excellent. This is how the world is."
“That makes sense!”
Yin Xiamo's fingers tightened on the pages of the book, she frowned, closed the magazine, and began to pack her things. When she stood up, the young men and women who were in heated discussions all stared at her in shock.
"Enjoy your meal. I have something to do and I'll leave first."
She pulled out her chair and walked out.
Ou Chen suddenly grabbed her hand. He also stood up and stared at her closely, his icy green eyes revealing tense displeasure. "They are talking about Luo Xi, it has nothing to do with you."
"It has nothing to do with me." She smiled faintly, "I just have to go to work."
"I send you."
"No need. It's not appropriate for a poor kid to work in a fast food restaurant in a luxury RV." She gently broke free from his hand and walked out of the sunny campus cafeteria without looking back.
Ou Chen stared at her back.
After a while, he left with a cold breath.
Only the young men and young ladies were left looking at each other awkwardly.
At night, when the stars twinkled in the night sky, Yin Xiamo returned home. She brought a pack of braised chicken wings to add to her family's meal, but as soon as she stepped into the living room, she immediately felt a depressing atmosphere. Dad kept smoking, and his fat body walked back and forth in front of the TV. Mom sat on the sofa in silence. When Xiao Cheng saw her, he quickly turned his face away and turned his back to her. His clothes were dirty as if he had been in a fight.
"what happened?"
She placed the chicken wings on the dining table, vaguely guessing what the reason was.
Mom looked at her.
Dad took a deep puff of his cigarette and said nothing.
Yin Xiamo walked to Xiao Cheng and turned his face around. There was a big bruise on his forehead and his eyes were swollen, with his purple eyelids drooping loosely.
"You're fighting with someone?!"
She was anxious and angry, and she raised her hand, almost slapping him. Xiao Cheng shrank back and looked at her, tears falling from her swollen eyes. Her heart ached, she gritted her teeth and took her hand back, and asked angrily:
"Why fight?!"
Xiao Cheng suddenly felt very wronged and burst into tears:
"They say Brother Luo Xi is a thief... Woo... I like Brother Luo Xi... Brother Luo Xi is not a thief... They are all bad kids... Brother Luo Xi is a good person... Brother Luo Xi is not a thief..."
Yin Xiamo frowned, a surge of jealousy in her heart, but she was also heartbroken by his crying. She couldn't help but hug him in her arms, rocking him gently and coaxing him:
"Be good, Xiao Cheng, don't cry... Those are all bad kids, don't pay attention to them... Only bad kids will say bad things about others, if you get angry, you will be fooled... Be good, don't cry... If you cry again... If you cry again... Sister will cry too..." Seeing Xiao Cheng's aggrieved tears, her eyes also turned red. From childhood to adulthood, she loved this only brother the most, and she couldn't bear to see him sad.
Xiao Cheng wiped the tears from her face with the back of her hand in a messy manner, and raised her head while sobbing:
"Sister, Brother Luo Xi is not a thief..."
"Okay, he's not a thief, so of course I believe Xiao Cheng..."
Yin Xiamo gently wiped away his tears.
Dad looked at her and her brother, sighed deeply, and his fat face was full of clouds. He picked up another cigarette and walked back and forth in the living room, smoking one cigarette after another.
Starry sky.
Under the cherry blossom tree in the garden.
Luo Xi sat on the green stone platform with his knees hugged. He was like a lost child, with a lonely and desolate back, and his black jade-like hair was ruffled by the night wind.
The night is very quiet.
Yin Xiamo watered the flowers and plants around the courtyard.
Luo Xi's voice was as light as night fog:
“Are you happy?”
Yin Xiamo squatted down and moved the aloe vera to a sunny corner. Only when it sees the sun can the aloe vera grow luxuriantly. She moved it laboriously and sprinkled water until water slightly seeped out from the bottom of the flower pot. Then she began to sprinkle water on the roses.
"They say I'm a thief, and you can kick me out of here. You must be happy, aren't you?"
Luo Xi's back blended into the night.
Yin Xiamo finished watering all the flowers and plants. She stretched, yawned lightly, and walked back into the house.
The students of Shenghui College thought that Luo Xi would never appear again, but he still came to class every day. The smile on his lips was still so gentle, his eyes were still so black and crystal, and his eyebrows were still so clear and moving.
The students looked at him from a distance.
It was very strange that even amidst the overwhelming rumors and malicious pointing and criticizing, Luo Xi was still as pure and beautiful as a prince from the kingdom of angels, with a holy temperament, as if he was inviolable.
Gradually, some people couldn't help but suspect that the so-called thief might just be a rumor.
Luo Xi really doesn't look like it.
And there is no real evidence.
Then some girls began to approach him tentatively and talk to him cautiously. Because everything was uncertain, the campus was filled with a tense atmosphere that was about to explode.
Friday morning.
On the big bulletin board next to the square was an old, yellowed newspaper with a social news story circled in red. It was a year ago when the police arrested a teenager named "Luo Xi" for suspected domestic theft. Mrs. Song in the photo blamed herself for her negligence in giving the thief an opportunity.
The students of Shenghui stood there in a daze.
Everyone opened their mouths in astonishment, and a crowd of people gathered in front of the notice board, until a man walked out of the crowd, tore off the newspaper, crumpled it up and threw it on the ground!
That person is Luo Xi.
Luo Xi looked coldly at the people in front of him, his eyes were cold and mocking, and a charming mist enveloped his whole body.
The students of Shenghui were stunned for a quarter of an hour.
Finally, someone took the lead and shouts rose one after another.
"Thief!"
"Luo Xi! Thief! Thief! Luo Xi!"
"Thief! Get out~~"
"Thief~"
The students of Shenghui fell into inexplicable anger. They waved their fists and surrounded Luo Xi in front of the bulletin board.
