She's like a lifesaver

On weekends, Lu Tingxin is used to running alone, around the playground, and will not stop until the last bit of strength is exhausted.

Today, as always.

When No.13 passed the stands, Lu Tingxin stopped slowly.

She was standing on the runway, her breathing was short and her eyes were deep.

What's on the other side of the wall?Why does Ye Yishu come to the playground at a fixed time every day?Why do you always stand in that position?Why didn't it be her turn to leave school, and she could still go out in an open and aboveboard manner?

And that cry...

Occasionally, Lu Tingxin walked up.

Behind the wall, the scene of Mother Ye playing with Ye Yishu and He Bi confirmed Lu Tingxin's ambiguous guess—it turned out that some of their freshmen really had halos on their heads.

Fate is really unfair, it gave Ye Yishu a brain that no one can match, but it also wanted to add something to the cake, giving her a family background that everyone envied.

Jealousy came fiercely, Lu Tingxin couldn't hold back his expression, and He Bi saw the coldness in his eyes.

This look seems familiar.

very scary.

Fear didn't make He Si flinch, she quickly ran to Ye Yishu's side, and pulled her back with all her might.

Ye Yishu didn't understand, so he said, "You don't want to play anymore?"

He Si didn't speak, and the strength of grabbing Ye Yishu increased.

Ye Yishu's intuition was wrong, and he grabbed He Si's wrist to order her to stop, "Ah Si, what's wrong? Why are you suddenly unhappy?"

He Ni kept silent and lowered his head to prevent Ye Yishu from seeing the fear on his face.

Ye Yishu knew that He Ruian would not lose his temper in front of her for no reason, so he asked patiently, "Is there something uncomfortable?"

He Xiang shook his head.

Afterwards, Mother Ye, who came over, squatted next to He Bi, watching her dodging eyes and slapping sideways, "Did Ah Si see something you don't like? Tell Auntie, Auntie will help you beat it."

Hearing Ye's mother's words, He Ruo immediately hugged Ye Yishu's neck tightly, and his wandering gaze occasionally passed over the stands.

Mother Ye stood up, turned around, and looked at the stands with burning eyes.

The stands were empty.

Lu Tingxin on the other end was repeating the previous behavior - running.

This morning run, she lasted longer than ever before.

--------

For He Xiang's abnormal reaction, Ye Mu and Ye Yishu racked their brains and still couldn't figure it out. Fortunately, she behaved fairly normally after returning home, so they stayed at home with her at ease.

Not going out is just convenient for Ye Yishu, who is preparing for the final exam, to review her homework. There are three subjects left, so she can get a first-class scholarship if she survives.

After the new year, it will be He Si's birthday soon, and she needs to prepare a little more money to buy gifts for He Si.

He Si is a person who can't bear to be lonely, seeing Ye Yishu doing everything with envy, seeing her writing, He Si also took his own Chinese character book and rubbed next to her to write and draw.

The handwriting on the small notebook is still immature, but the three characters 'Little Leaf' are already proficient without any thinking.

The two stayed in the room to study without arguing, and the time passed faster than ever.

Ye Yishu has the habit of taking a lunch break, and a proper rest can help her concentrate more in the afternoon, but because of a difficult problem, Ye Yishu didn't go back to bed today, and took a nap directly on the table after solving the problem.

He Sizheng is the age when cats hate dogs, when he wants to sleep, he can't be shaken, and when he doesn't want to sleep, no one will listen.

At this moment, He Ru, who was full of energy, followed Ye's mother to finish eating and ran upstairs excitedly to find Ye Yishu.

The door was not closed, and as soon as He Ruo entered, he saw Ye Yishu sleeping soundly with his arms on his head.

He Ru took off his shoes, walked over lightly, climbed onto the stool next to him, knelt on it and stared at Ye Yishu motionlessly.

He Xiang still doesn't know how to praise someone for his good looks, and the only two words that come to his mind over and over again - I like it.

She really, really likes this elder sister, and she likes her so much that she wants to be with her all the time.

"Cough." The sudden severe cough made Ye Yishu frown uncomfortably.

He Si just looked at it and felt that his little heart felt the same, and his round face suddenly twisted into a ball.

After the discomfort caused by the cough passed, Ye Yishu went back to sleep peacefully, but he didn't feel at ease.

He Ru's nervous gaze scanned the bedroom, and finally stopped on his special blanket.

Auntie said that her blanket was fragrant and warm, and my sister would definitely not feel uncomfortable if she covered it.

Thinking about it this way, He Ruo immediately climbed off the stool, ran over to the bed to fetch the blanket, put it on a table that was much higher than hers, and then climbed onto the stool with hands and feet, stood on it and covered the blanket It fell on Ye Yishu.

It was probably really warm. The moment Ye Yishu covered her body with the blanket, she rubbed against it with the side of her face. Not only did she not show any signs of waking up, but she fell into a deeper sleep.

The current time has already surpassed her usual biological clock.

He Ruo felt that he had done a great thing, stood on the chair and squinted his eyes, laughing nonstop.

Excited and tired, He Ru sat down, lay beside Ye Yishu and slowly fell asleep.

This time, Ye Yishu fell into a deep sleep, as if he made up for all the hard work of the past week.

Waking up, the setting sun is slanting, and the sunset has dyed half of the sky red. The lonely dead branch outside the window looks at the two sleeping in the room, and there is some enthusiasm for no reason, which makes people daydream.

Ye Yi sat up with her aching body, and the blanket slid down her thin back.

After sleeping for too long, Ye Yishu's reaction was a little sluggish, and he looked down for a long time before he recognized what it was, and his heart felt melted immediately.

Looking sideways, he seems to be there.

He Ru wears a home clothes hat on his head, with long soft rabbit ears, rising and falling with He Ru's breathing.

The table was very high, but it seemed very small, and she felt an inexplicable sense of joy as she was barely sleeping on the table, but upon closer inspection, it was more of an endearing innocence.

This kid is even more serious about sleeping than ordinary people.

Ye Yishu got down on his knees, raised his hat with his ears up, and He Ru's face was slowly revealed.

How can someone's eyelashes be so long and dense?Don't you get tired when you blink?

Heh, beauty should not be a burden to He Xiang who cares about face-saving.

I don't know what I dreamed about, but He Ruo shivered greatly and couldn't help curling up.

Fearing that He Si would fall, Ye Yishu hurriedly sat up and hugged He Si into his arms.

He seems to be clingy, it's born like this.

The previous objects were parents and grandpa, but now it is Ye Yishu, as soon as he got close to her arms, He Ru immediately grasped her clothes skillfully, found the most reassuring position and fell asleep.

Ye Yishu looked at He Si, his clear eyes were disturbed by the warm wind.

This afternoon and night, Ye Yishu didn't review his homework, and played with He Xiang in the bedroom until midnight.

Leaving school for too long is easy to attract criticism. Ye Yishu will go back to school with Dr. Shi early in the morning on weekends. She will pay He Si for his companionship tonight.

I don't know how he would react to the news that she was leaving tomorrow?

It should be very reluctant.

With doubts, the next day came quietly.

After breakfast, Dr. Shi came to pick up Ye Yishu, and while she was struggling with how to explain to He Nian, He Nian had already packed her heavy schoolbag for her.

On the first floor, the three members of the Ye family and Dr. Shi watched He Si motionlessly. She was moving down the stairs step by step with a schoolbag that was not much lighter than herself.

Because it was too unexpected, or moved, or distressed, no one thought of helping her until He Ru walked up to Ye Yishu, threw her schoolbag to her feet, and panted heavily with her sleeves. After wiping their sweat-free forehead, they woke up suddenly.

Later, I was afraid of being fierce.

The stairs are so high, and it seems that you can't see the road under your feet. If you step on the air or slip, the consequences will be disastrous.

Ye Yishu's heartbeat was unbearably fast, and she could hardly stabilize her body when she squatted down. If He Xiang hadn't hugged her neck in time, she might have fallen to the ground in front of everyone.

"Ah..." Ye Yishu could hear comfort and understanding from He Xi's soft voice.

It is too rare for He Si to behave beyond his age, Ye Yishu has all kinds of feelings, but he can't say it now, he can only hug He Si back, pressing her tightly in his arms.

Dr. Shi took off his glasses, rubbed his eyes, and sighed, "There is only a wall across, why do I feel like I am parting from life and death?"

Father Ye looked at the two of them and laughed silently, "Who says no, this little girl has clearly never experienced life, but she seems to have seen through life long ago, and every thing she does can be remembered as a lifetime."

Father Ye's random joke woke up Ye Yishu who hadn't paid attention to this point.

Ye Yishu has always felt that there is a maturity far beyond her peers under the childish appearance. She has always attributed this feeling to the sensible and good family education of her parents. Now it seems that 'fear' may be a better explanation .

He seems to be afraid of many things.

Fear of losing, fear of being alone, fear of being left behind, fear of waiting for someone who will never come back.

So, she knows how to please people, how to feel sorry for others, and how to make people feel bad...

"Ah Si, don't do this." Ye Yishu said, as if unwilling to accept the responsibilities imposed on her by others, with imperceptible grievances in her voice.

He Ruo didn't understand, but the hearts of the three older people next to him were as clear as a mirror.

Ye Yishu's grievances are just from distress.

Unable to bear them to continue to make such a sad separation, Mother Ye bent down and patted Ye Yishu on the shoulder and said, "Don't do this, we will have a holiday after the exam, and we will only be separated for three days."

Ye Yishu's throat was sore, he moved his mouth, but could only utter a simple syllable, "Mmm."

How does Ye Yishu let go.

There was nothing unusual about the bright smile on her face like a summer flower, but Ye Yishu's heart felt like a pinprick.

The more inadvertently He Xiang's actions are, the more it shows how deep the fear deep in her heart is. If one day, they become instinctive, how can He Xiang live a simple life?

"Ah Si, three days, wait for my sister for another three days, and after the exam, my sister will come back to you immediately." Ye Yishu promised like an oath.

He Ru nodded with a smile.

"Don't wait for me at the door this time."

He Ru pouted, not wanting to agree.

Ye Yishu patted her head, "You want to be inside the door, I'll wait for you to open the door for me and take me home."

"..." He Ruo didn't understand for a moment.

After thinking for a while, a pure smile faded from his brows and eyes.

"Ah!" I'm at the door, taking you home.

--------

In the next three days, Ye Yishu had to take care of the exam, but at the same time he was worried about He Bi, and the time passed very slowly.

After finally hearing 'examination time is over', Ye Yishu immediately handed in the test paper and ran out.

As soon as he reached the stairs, Lu Tingxin called Ye Yishu to a stop.

"What's the matter?" Ye Yishu asked impatiently.

Lu Tingxin leaned against the wall, with his hands in his trouser pockets casually, "Dinner tonight, don't you know?"

"Dinner?" Ye Yishu narrowed his eyes, "What kind of dinner? I don't know."

Lu Tingxin snorted inadvertently, and then said in the usual voice, "You really only read the sage's books and don't listen to the outside world. This matter was settled last week. We had dinner in restaurant 1 on the day of the exam."

"Can I ask for leave?" Ye Yishu asked.

Lu Tingxin's calm and usual attitude deviated, and his words gradually became harsh, "Ye Yishu, are you really out of gregarious, or do you disdain to be with us? It's just a meal, and it's not that you want to be friends with me. As for you Are you so evasive like a snake?"

Lu Tingxin's sharpness made Ye Yishu cool down anxiously.

Ye Yishu lowered his face, and said in a cold voice, "I told you not to speculate on other people's minds, your behavior is disgusting."

"But what you are doing now has to make me guess like this? Haven't you heard what other people say about you?"

Ye Yishu's throat twitched, and he probably guessed something in his heart, "What are you talking about?"

Lu Tingxin did not add any embellishments, but as usual, described everyone about Ye Yishu's frequent use of privileges to leave school on weekends, and then said, "Even if someone knows that Professor Shi needs you to leave school, and it is not voluntary, it is inevitable that someone will leave school." Because jealousy distorts the truth.

You have been too eye-catching from the moment you appeared, and you have isolated everyone with your own ability. Everyone is polite to you in front of you, but it doesn't mean you accept it in private.

Ye Yishu, you have to learn to get along with people you don't like. This is a university, where all kinds of people gather together to form a small society. Being independent will only make you trapped in a smaller and smaller circle.

To put it bluntly, in case something happens one day, people like you will not get help from anyone, and everyone is eager to trample you so hard that you can't turn over at once.

This is the pride and sorrow of a successful person. When you are high above, everyone tolerates you. Once you fall into the quagmire, everyone will suffer. "

Ye Yishu's rebuttal prepared by Lu Tingxin's emotionless words was swallowed back.

Ye Yishu stood upright, his mind was empty and dazed.

Because it was so smooth, she never needed to cooperate with anyone, let alone help.

She didn't think carefully about what Lu Tingxin said.

Relying on instinct, Ye Yishu responded, "I didn't do anything to embarrass everyone."

"You still don't understand what I mean." Lu Tingxin changed his posture, his face was full of disdain for reality, "You like to be alone too much, and a loner doesn't have trivial things as a barrier, the easiest Become the object of silent attention of caring people. There are already interests involved in the university, and no one will defend you here. No matter how good you are, there will be people who criticize you for various reasons, not to mention that you have nothing to do with the relationship between classmates. What have you done, who would cherish something without any maintenance? You are too naive."

"..."

"The most indispensable thing in this society is people watching the excitement. Some people still have a conscience, but they just sit on the sidelines when you are down. I don’t commit crimes, in the world of adults there is only the survival of the fittest, the survival of the fittest, in order to get what you want, the human heart can be cruel to anything.”

In Lu Tingxin's naked|naked analysis of reality, Ye Yishu's hand hanging by his side slowly tightened, cracks appearing in his always calm expression.

"I go."

The word "simple" was the first time in Ye Yishu's life that he truly compromised with reality.

This is not the first time.

Afterwards, she was ecstatic because of the compromise, but also in pain because of the compromise.

In a sense, meeting He Si is Ye Yishu's compromise to her.

There was too much longing in those eyes for her to ignore.

During the most difficult days, Ye Yishu asked herself, what would her life be like if she hadn't compromised with He Xiang from the beginning?

No one told Ye Yishu the answer, she could only use one sentence to comment on the rest of her life after she was drunk - the good-looking skin remains in the world, and the soul that understands love is buried with the earth.

Some things, even if they know the result will not be satisfactory from the beginning, people will still do it without hesitation, just because their hearts are warm and their feelings are warm.

If you have lived, you should experience it.

Hearing Ye Yishu's answer, Lu Tingxin's tense emotions suddenly relaxed, and his exhausted body leaned against the wall as if he had just finished a difficult battle.

After getting used to it for a few seconds, Lu Tingxin stood up straight, with the usual expression, "Let's go back to the dormitory first, the meal time is at 7 o'clock, and there are two hours left."

Ye Yishu shook his head, his tone was blunt, "No, I have other things to do."

After speaking, he left directly.

Lu Tingxin hesitated for a few seconds, then quietly followed.

Just as Lu Tingxin guessed, Ye Yishu came to graduate again, still on the fourth floor, still in the corner office.

In the quiet corridor, Ye Yishu's hasty knock on the door was particularly abrupt.

Ye Yishu couldn't get a response for a long time, and Ye Yishu was very anxious.

It is absolutely fatal to a child's growth to have promised something similar, but what Lu Tingxin said...

Ye Yishu is contradictory.

He knocked on the door for a while, but still no answer.

Ye Yishu took out a pen and paper, wrote a note, and stuffed it in from under the door.

Mother Ye is now in the conference room doing project conclusion defense. No matter sooner or later, she must go back to the office. As long as she sees the note and goes back to help herself explain clearly to He Si, she will not break her promise. will understand.

Afraid of being found out, after leaving the note, Ye Yishu walked through the corridor leading to another building and left from the postgraduate building of other colleges.

When the corridor became quiet again, Lu Tingxin walked to the door of Mother Ye's office, and there was still a small corner of the note in the crack of the door left outside.

Lu Tingxin knelt down and pulled it out with the tip of a pen.

【Mom, you can't miss the class dinner tonight. I won't be able to go back until early tomorrow morning. Please explain to Ah Si so that she doesn't wait for me and doesn't get angry].

Lu Tingxin read the short paragraph for more than 3 minutes.

Facing the name on the note, Lu Tingxin read silently, "Ah Si? That kid who always asks you to find a reason to leave school?"

"What if she just wants to be angry with you?"

"..."

The flat note was slowly crumpled, torn, and finally thrown into the toilet and flushed away with the sewage.

Ye Yishu broke his promise to He Bi after all.

No one expected how much He Xiang would be hurt by this premeditated breach of promise, and no one expected Ye Yishu would lose anything because of it.

Those who know the cause know the cause but do not know the effect, even if they know the cause and effect later, it is only a moment of regret, and then laugh it off.

Ye Yishu, who didn't know it, regretted it for 14 years.
