After hearing Ye He's words, the hand that was holding his hand slowly and weakly let go, and suddenly the whole body went limp. It was more than just despair.

"Is this the end of our lives?"

Xiao Jiu looked at Ye He infatuatedly, but Ye He remained silent.

"I have been playing hide-and-seek all my life. It is a game of gambling with my life. How many times can I use my luck? If one day I am caught by the cat and eaten, my life will be over. What is the meaning of such a life?

Look at those people who live in poverty. Although their daily lives are hard, they have paid the down payment for a house through their hard work. They travel happily with their family and are very happy. So what are we doing it for? Do we make money and enjoy life? No!

I live in fear every day, like a thief who hides his head in the dark. I don’t understand why I work so hard. What is the meaning of this kind of life? "

"I don't know what the meaning of this kind of life is." Ye He looked at Xiao Jiu and smiled faintly. "For me, this world is terrible, but it's okay as long as you are here. The only thing I am greedy for in this world is because you are here. For someone like me, living one day is a day's gain. If I can see you, it will be even more profitable."

Xiaojiu kept his head down and said nothing. He felt very uncomfortable and powerless.

You can't escape, and you can't change.

"Okay, let's eat first. We haven't finished eating yet."

"I can't eat anymore."

At this moment, Xiaojiu couldn't eat anymore, and even felt like vomiting because the braised pork he had just eaten was so greasy.

"I hate that man, but I hate the police even more. Why are they so useless? Why did they let him get away with it for so many years? If we could have caught him and shot him when we were kids, our lives wouldn't be like this."

If that demon had died long ago, she and Ye He wouldn't have had such a hard life.

"Xiao Qiao, be careful with what you say. After all, he is..."

"He is not!" Xiao Jiu knew what Ye He was going to say, "He is not worthy of being a father. I just hate that I don't have the ability to kill him."

Ye He quickly covered her mouth and reminded her, "Xiao Qiao, you should only say these words in front of me. No one else can be trusted. If these words get to Dad's ears, you know what he will do to you."

Xiao Jiu pushed his hand away and smiled helplessly: "I don't have the ability to kill him. What else can I do except talk about it in front of you?"

After hearing this, Ye He smiled with relief: "I know my Xiao Qiao knows what's going on. If you can't eat it, then don't eat it."

After that, Ye He handed Xiao Jiu a bank card. Xiao Jiu said, "I have my own money, so I don't need you to give me money."

"Not all the money in my hand is dirty. The money I spend on you is clean. Take it." Ye He forced it into her hand and then reminded her, "The police haven't arrested all the people yet. The situation will get tense for a while. If you follow me now, I'm afraid you'll be in danger. Fortunately, dad hasn't come back yet, so you can be safe for a while. I'll find you a place with a good environment. You..."

"I'm not a three-year-old child anymore, so don't worry about me."

Xiaojiu knew that it was useless to persuade Ye He, and she was also powerless now. She could only walk over and zip up Ye He's coat.

"It's cold, brother, you should take care of yourself. I don't dare to think about the future. I just hope that you will still be safe when I see you next time."

Ye He smiled, then rubbed her head: "I will."

After Ye He finished speaking, his cell phone rang. Acai was already waiting for him outside the restaurant.

"Xiao Qiao, I have to go. Leave me a message when you find where you live. I'll get back to you when I see it. But just in case, after you send it to me, please delete all the messages on your phone."

"I know this."

"Then I'll be leaving." Ye He looked at the table again. She forced herself to eat some of the rice, but she didn't drink a single sip of the milk tea given to her.

"Don't forget to drink the milk tea my brother bought for you."

"Ah."

Xiao Jiu nodded, then watched Ye He walk out, then hurried to the window, watched Ye He get into the car, and then the car drove away.

After the car disappeared from her sight, Xiaojiu sat down slowly. Looking at the leftover food, she really wanted to cry, but she told herself not to cry because crying was useless.

-

Because a gunfight broke out in the downtown area of ​​South City, which was unprecedented in recent decades, it naturally made the news at the first opportunity.

When this news came out, Liang Yuanqi had no intention of watching it at all. He turned on the TV just to listen to something to relieve his boredom while eating.

He is now in the company's lounge. He came back today for a meeting and has to go to the construction site after dinner. After dinner, he just got up to turn off the TV and was about to go out, but he saw Xiaojiu on TV.

This was captured by the street surveillance camera. Because Xiaojiu squeezed to the front to watch, he was captured by the camera.

[Criminals were rampant and had a fierce gun battle with the police on Changxing Street. Because the area was densely populated, whether there were any casualties at the scene is currently being counted...]

Hearing this, Liang Yuanqi's heart suddenly lifted. People at the scene were injured? Wasn't Xiaojiu at the scene?

Liang Yuanqi hurriedly wanted to continue reading the news, but the news ended and the news had already jumped to the next one. He searched on the Internet again, but there was no follow-up to this news.

He looked at the news footage carefully again and was sure that the person was Xiaojiu.

"Uncle Zhang, I have something urgent to do this afternoon, so I won't be going to the construction site for now. If there's anything on the construction site, please call me."

After saying that, Liang Yuanqi grabbed the car keys and ran out, all the way to the hotel where Xiaojiu was staying, and asked at the front desk. After checking, the front desk replied: "This guest went out early in the morning and hasn't come back yet."

You went out early in the morning and haven’t come back yet?

Hearing this, Liang Yuanqi became even more worried.

At this moment, after Xiaojiu came out of the restaurant, she was like a walking corpse. The more she looked at people coming and going on the street, the more confused she became.

Other people are living so happily, why is she living?

They all imagined how wonderful the future would be, but she never dared to think about it.

She didn't take a taxi. She just walked and walked towards the hotel after coming out of the restaurant. The milk tea in her hand had already gone cold.

[The sugar in milk tea can promote the secretion of dopamine, which makes people feel good. ]

Thinking about Liang Yuanqi's words, Xiaojiu looked at the cup of milk tea. Her mood was so bad now. Would she feel better after drinking it?

She picked it up and was about to drink it when suddenly a naughty kid bumped into her and hit her hard, causing the milk tea in her hand to fall to the ground, and then the milk tea slowly flowed out from the crack.

Xiao Jiu stared at the spilled milk tea infatuatedly, and suddenly her eyes became moist. The emotions that had been suppressed in front of Ye He seemed to burst out in an instant.

It was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. She was already feeling very upset, so she clutched the cup of milk tea, thinking about that little bit of sweetness that could comfort herself.

It shattered at the moment of entrance, and her whole mentality collapsed.

Seeing that he had caused trouble, the naughty kid immediately wanted to run away. Xiao Jiu quickly grabbed his collar and asked him, "Why are you running on the road? You knocked my milk tea away!"

Seeing how fierce she was, the child started crying. Hearing the child crying, the child's mother who was following behind hurried over.

"What are you doing?" Seeing Xiaojiu grabbing the child's clothes, she hurriedly picked up the child.

"You are his parent? How do you view your child? Why should you let your own child run around on the road without any scruples?"

"He's just a child. It's just a cup of milk tea. Why are you fussing over a child? How much is your cup of milk tea? I'll pay you double."

"It's not about money."

"What's the matter? It's just a cup of milk tea, but you still have to argue with a child. You are so young, why are you so fussy..."

This place was not far from the hotel. Seeing a lot of people gathering there, Liang Yuanqi hurried over.

"Xiaojiu?"

After understanding what happened, Liang Yuanqi first asked the onlookers to disperse. The mother was still cursing before leaving.

"Xiaojiu?"

Xiaojiu did not respond to Liang Yuanqi's words, but slowly squatted down and looked at the cup of milk tea.

She hadn't even taken a sip of the milk tea that Ye He gave her.

"My milk tea spilled..."

Liang Yuanqi also quickly squatted down. The moment he saw her tears, his heart also felt uncomfortable.

Did she cry? She didn’t cry when she was in the hospital and in so much pain, but now she was crying just because her milk tea was spilled?
