Lu Huaiyu dipped iodophor with a cotton swab, and gently pressed it on the opening in her hand.
The wound was really nothing to worry about, but he leaned over slightly, his movements were meticulous and careful, as if it was an extremely important thing.
Ning Li looked up, and saw his black hair hanging down, slightly covering his eyebrows and eyes.
The bridge of the nose is high, the thin lips are slightly pursed, showing no emotion.
The room was very quiet, only the breaths of the two intertwined.
Ning Li felt that the distance was a bit close, but apart from this chair, there was no other convenient place for Lu Huai and him to sit down in this room.
And he was disinfecting her, so it didn't seem appropriate for her to move.
Thinking of the situation just now, she actually doesn't know how to face Lu Huaihe now.
After a while, she finally broke the silence first.
"Second brother, why did you and brother Xiyue come here?"
Didn't she say before that she would take the high-speed train back in the afternoon
They came so fast, it is estimated that they have been here before.
"Cheng Xiyue finished his business and was going back to Yunzhou. He happened to drop by, so he said to see if you had left."
Lu Huaiyu lowered his head, his voice was calm.
Ning Li let out an "oh".
This is inevitable. It's too coincidental.
"I saw those people coming over before, but I didn't know they were looking for you. I sent you a message, but you didn't reply."
Ning Li took out her mobile phone from her pocket, and she saw the message Lu Huaiyu just sent.
As soon as she entered the corridor, she sensed something was wrong and didn't even bother to look.
Lu Huaiyu paused for a moment before asking:
"Why didn't you call the police?"
This question is about those people.
Ning Li's eyes drooped slightly, and said lightly:
"It's useless."
They came and smashed them, splashed paint, poured glue into the door lock to trap them in the house, and endlessly abused them.
There have been so many troubles, and the police at the nearby police station also know about their situation.
As long as they do not cause too serious substantial harm to people, they are often just a mediation.
What's more, Ning Haizhou killed the opponent's younger brother, so he was wronged.
When the police came to the door, with this in mind, they would often be lenient towards them.
At the worst time, they were only detained for a few days and then released soon.
In fact, Lu Huaiyu didn't need to ask carefully, and he could probably guess what was going on.
"So just bear with it, suffer?"
His voice didn't rise or fall.
Ning Li paused and said:
"Actually, there are very few now."
Lu Huaiyu finished treating her wound, threw away the cotton swab, and looked up.
"Ali."
He looked into her eyes,
"Your father has paid the corresponding price for the mistakes he made. But you are not wrong, so these should not be borne by you. Understand?"
It was Ning Haizhou who caused the accident after drinking, he was indeed at fault, but what does this have to do with Ning Li
She was only seven years old.
If the other party lost his family and endured great pain, what about Ning Li
From that day on, she also lost her father and mother at the same time.
Isn't the loneliness and poverty of these ten years considered torment and pain for a child
Countless insults, accusations, and abuse.
Isolated and bullied.
Everyone suffers, and it's not that other people's pain is pain, and her pain is not worth mentioning.
Ning Li stared at him blankly.
"But."
"No but."
Lu Huaiyu patted her head lightly,
"You are right, there is no need to make atonement for anyone, bear these."
you are right.
You don't have to atone for anyone.
These are not for you to bear.
No one had ever said these words to her before.
Everyone, including Granny, thinks this is what they should put up with.
Because they are a family, because there is an unbroken blood relationship between them.
So when these people make trouble, they will always choose to endure and give in.
It's not that Ning Li has never thought about this problem.
When being ridiculed and abused, when being poked in the back, when being isolated and ridiculed.
When the sharp yelling and smashing were mixed together, she could only hide in her room and cover her ears, waiting for the long torment to pass.
But thinking of grandma's red eyes from crying and guilt all over her face, she finally endured it.
Now, someone finally told her so firmly and persistently in front of her face that she was right.
And this person is precisely Lu Huaiyu.
Ning Li was silent for a long time, her throat was dry.
She had imagined many thoughts and reactions that Lu Huai and Yu would have after seeing today's scene.
But there is no such thing as this one.
Lu Huaiyu looked at her.
In my impression, Ning Li has always been very independent and very determined, but only in this matter, she has great tolerance.
Perhaps the experience of these years has already subtly influenced her, making her feel that she is also the guilty one.
He said:
"They won't bother you in the future."
Ning Li was slightly taken aback.
"Second brother, what does this mean?"
These people were born in the market, occupying the moral high ground, and frequent rogue tricks, getting involved is troublesome.
It was already an accident for Lu Huaiyu to encounter such an embarrassing scene, if these people entangled him again.
"literal meaning."
Lu Huaiyu leaned back, and his brows and eyes returned to their usual cold and lazy expression.
With his background and mental means, there are plenty of ways to make those people shut up obediently.
Ning Li subconsciously clenched his hand.
"Second brother, don't"
Those people were indeed unbearable, and they had repeatedly pushed her to the edge these years, but in the final analysis, it was indeed Ning Haizhou who bore a life.
she-
Lu Huai and his eyelids drooped slightly, and his eyes fell on the hand she was holding tightly.
"Your father owed them, and there is nothing wrong with repaying it with his whole life. But it shouldn't be your whole life."
He approached suddenly, pinched her face lightly with one hand, raised his eyebrows slightly,
"If you still feel that you owe them, you still have to bear it, that's fine."
"I, Lu Huai, don't owe them anything. If they bully you, I will retaliate. How about it?"
