She's like a lifesaver

Ye's father is a light drinker, and most of the time he does not drink at all when socializing, and if it is unavoidable, Ye's mother will definitely accompany him to hold him back from drinking.

Tonight, that's it.

After finishing the defense of the final question, Mother Ye immediately went back to the office to pack up her things and went home, and met Ye's father who was already waiting at home, and then told He Xiang to stay at home and wait for Ye Yishu who would go back soon.

He seems to agree happily.

Ye Yishu was going to come back, which was more gratifying to her than anything else, so staying at home alone seemed nothing to fear.

All this seems to be fine, but it is actually ridiculously bad.

----------

In the family area, He Ru moved a small bench and sat at the door, playing with the flashlight in boredom.

The moon is about to climb to the roof, why hasn't my sister come back yet?

He Xiang thought sullenly.

"Meow..." The soft meow made He Si's listless ears perk up.

He Ru jumped down the steps, flashlighted, and searched for the source of the sound.

On the road in the dead of night, only the sound of footsteps that seem to be fast and slow can be heard.

Pass!The muffled sound of heavy objects falling to the ground suddenly appeared accompanied by a shrill meow.

He Ru's brisk footsteps froze in place, and something was about to come out of his mind.

They are red and scary.

"Da! Da! Da..." The heavy and slow footsteps rendered Jing Ye eerie.

Because he was too frightened, He Ruo forgot to be afraid instead, and raised the flashlight to shine forward in a daze.

Not far away, a white kitten lay dying on the ground, with an elongated silhouette on the kitten's body.

He Si stayed in place, holding the flashlight tightly in both hands.

A pair of feet came over the kitten's body towards her.

There was blood on those feet.

Some pictures broke through the memory uncontrollably, rampaging in He Bixiao's head.

Even though she couldn't see clearly what was in those pictures, and didn't know where the psychological fear came from, she still walked back slowly instinctively.

At the moment when that person's face was about to lose all light, He Ru threw down the flashlight and ran away.

He ran forward without making a sound, with only a dim street light at the intersection in his eyes.

She remembered that she could go home by turning right from that intersection.

It's been so long, my sister must have come back and brought her favorite food.

Back home, with the protection of my sister, this person will not chase her again.

He Ruo repeatedly told himself that.

The visitor seemed to have known for a long time that He Li could not speak, let alone help her, so he chased her casually, as if an extreme controller was wantonly playing with the vulnerable.

The more this was the case, the more fear fermented in He Ru's heart, and all possible hopes were pinned on Ye Yishu who would be waiting for her at the door.

In fact, Ye Yishu is apologizing for her "ignorance" by substituting tea for wine cup after cup, using falsehoods that she dislikes the most.

"None of them will come back. Uncle will send you to see your parents today, okay?" The man approached with a grim expression.

He Ru tripped over the edge of the stone road, twisting his small body and constantly retreating.

The dirty mud was covered with the new clothes she specially changed for Ye Yishu.

The shadow slowly pressed down, and it seemed that there was no way to retreat.

"Come on, uncle will send you on your way."

The sharp knife fell on his shoulder, and the pain was overwhelming.

He Xiang quickly lost consciousness in the sharp pain in his shoulder.

When he woke up, he seemed to be in the hospital, in Ye Yishu's arms.

As soon as He Si saw Ye Yishu, all the grievances and fears came out, and he grabbed her clothes and cried non-stop.

Ye Yishu's consciousness was still in the thrilling state not long ago, he carefully avoided the wound on He Si's shoulder, and hugged her tightly, "Ah Si, cry, cry hard, you won't be afraid when you cry."

He Xiang burst into tears.

Ye's father, Ye's mother and Dr. Shi stood outside the door, just listening to the pain in the chest.

"What the hell is going on? Why did such a thing happen?" Ye Mu was emotional. Even though the matter had been settled, she still had lingering fears. "How many days have passed since Asi's parents had an accident. Caught, but let him kill a child again and again, the police are all vegetarians? The guards in the family area are also used as decorations? A big living person is put in like that?"

Dr. Shi pursed his lips tightly and his face was ugly. "According to the police, the murderer walked in directly from the east gate, and there was no confrontation with the guards."

"Go straight in?!" Mother Ye was annoyed, "There is no one standing guard at the door?!"

"Yes, yes..." Dr. Shi hesitated to speak.

"What is there to hide at a time like this! Tell me!"

"The police found Yishu's meal card on the murderer. He should have entered the family area with the meal card. The guard who stood guard at the east gate tonight has been here for less than a week. He couldn't recognize all the people in the family area. He thought he had a meal card. Residents in the family area don't think much about it."

Mother Ye lowered her face, "Yi Shu didn't come home after the exam?"

"It's the first dinner in the class, it's inappropriate not to participate."

"Then you should say hello to me or his dad!"

"You don't know?!" This time it was Dr. Shi's turn to be surprised, "Yishu said that she wrote you a note and slipped it in from under the office door."

Mother Ye, "I didn't see it."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of several people tensed immediately.

Father Ye was rarely serious, "This matter is not simple."

"Yeah." Doctor Shi echoed, "What happened tonight is so big that the police have to pay attention to it. They will definitely find a way to find out."

"What's the use of mending after a dead sheep?" Father Ye disagreed, "If they caught the murderer earlier, how could such a young child be injured again?"

"Lao Ye, it really wasn't entirely the police's mistake this time." Dr. Shi explained, "Yi Shu found out that his meal card was lost and felt uneasy, so he ran back at that time, which allowed the little girl to escape. Yi Shu Seeing that the little girl was injured, she was so angry that she almost beat her to death. In order to save her life, the murderer said something useful."

"What did you say?"

"Someone was helping him behind the scenes. On the weekend a week ago, the murderer suddenly received a letter saying that Ishu's meal card would be thrown out to him tonight. The murderer came dubiously, not only got the meal card, I also got the news that the three of you are not at home tonight."

"How is it possible?!" Ye's mother couldn't believe it, "Even if the meal card matter was premeditated, no one would know if we weren't at home! Lao Ye's dinner party tonight is special, and it will be kept secret from the outside world. It will never... .”

Mother Ye's expression suddenly became serious, "I remembered. In the afternoon, Lao Ye took Ah Si home first. I reminded her that she had a party at night, and her voice was a bit loud. At that time, the first grade just finished the exam and passed by. Could it be... "

"Don't make wild guesses without evidence. This is not a small matter. No matter who is involved, his future will be lost." Father Ye reminded, "The most urgent thing is to find a way to let Ah Li get through this nightmare safely."

"……Um."

A few people stood at the door and were depressed.

The murderer has been caught, and he will be brought to justice soon, but the hurt He Xiang received... Hey, I just hope that Ye Yishu is important enough to He Xiang to make her think about these things for a while.

Their ideas are reasonable, but the real result is just the opposite.

The one who was comforted was not He Xiang who had just been frightened, but Ye Yishu who witnessed the dark side of human nature for the first time.

In the ward, He Ruo had cried enough, leaning against Ye Yishu's arms and weeping silently.

Nostrils drifted over Ye Yishu's neck, it was obviously very warm, but it made her tremble all over.

This temperature told Ye Yishu that He Ruian was still alive.

Behind her life, she almost lost this little girl because of a meaningless dinner party.

"Ah Si, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Ye Yishu kept apologizing.

He Si patted Ye Yishu's chest with his still moving arm, the softness was her comfort.

This voice, this movement, became a touch that Ye Yishu would never forget for the rest of his life.

"Hey, don't cry." Ye Yishu rubbed He Si's hair with his chin, and said softly, "We'll go home after dawn, and I won't leave you alone at home again."

He Rui understood, and fell asleep peacefully in Ye Yishu's arms.

Ye Yishu couldn't sleep at night.

The meal card must have been lost when she was being persuaded to drink.

At that time, Lu Tingxin was holding her bag...

--------

The days of recuperation are effervescent, at least for He Xiang.

There are endless snacks and endless sleep every day, and my sister takes care of me every step of the way.

The days are repeated every day, but He Xiang's good mood has not weakened in the slightest.

Today must be a happy day.

After the meal, Ye Yishu moved the reclining chair to the backyard, and lay on it with He Bi in his arms to bask in the warmth.

After eating too much in the morning, He Ruo hiccupped, twisted his little body, and hummed uncomfortably.

Ye Yishu didn't dare to make fun of the injured patient, and rubbed her round belly in a good-tempered manner.

He seems to be really fat this time.

Fat and cute, the belly feels soft.

Ye Yishu's heart was itchy, and He Ru stretched out his limbs, paralyzed on her body, and rubbed and patted her stomach with both hands, having a great time.

Dr. Shi and his little granddaughter saw the action of the two of them as soon as they arrived in the backyard. He was so happy that he couldn't straighten up, and yelled through the fence, "Apprentice, did you take your daughter-in-law out to bask in the sun?"

Ye Yishu paused, and the smile on his face was no longer calm.

With no one to serve him, He Ruan kicked his legs unhappily to express his dissatisfaction.

He moved his whole body with one hair, and accidentally pulled the wound on his shoulder that hadn't fully healed, He Ruo screamed in pain.

Ye Yishu hurriedly sat up, full of nervousness, "Don't move!"

He seemed to be murdered, blinking his eyes pitifully.

Doctor Shi on the opposite side stepped on his conscience and added insult to injury, "Why does Xiaoye even bully her daughter-in-law? Sigh, people's hearts have turned bad."

Ye Yishu didn't care about Dr. Shi's 'slander', but He Xiang got angry and struggled to go down to fight for her.

Ye Yishu hurriedly stopped him, for fear that He Niang would make something wrong with himself.

He Xiang bared his teeth in anger.

Ye Yishu ignored it, and carefully carried He Bi home.

At the main entrance, the person Ye Yishu wanted to see for a long time - Lu Tingxin, was talking to Ye Mu.

Ye Yishu walked in with He Bi in his arms, suppressed the doubts in his heart, and said in his usual tone, "How do you know that I live here?"

Lu Tingxin just finished greeting Ye Mu, turned to Ye Yishu and said, "The trainer told me, he asked me to tell you something."

"what's up?"

"Winter vacation, our department will choose student representatives to go north to condolences to the border guards, and rehearse in the auditorium for the next week."

"What does it have to do with me?"

"You are the first in the grade, and the instructor asked you to be the host."

Ye Yishu vetoed, "I can't do it."

"It's useless for you to tell me this. If you want to refuse to go to the trainer, I'm just a messenger."

Ye Yishu remained silent, staring at Lu Tingxin with a penetrating gaze, "Wait for me outside, I have something to ask you."

Lu Tingxin did not hesitate at all, "Okay."

Immediately, he turned and walked out.

Ye Yishu put He Si down and talked to her, "Stay at home obediently, if you dare to beat others, you won't have snacks in the afternoon."

He Si remained motionless, staring blankly at Lu Tingxin's back.

She had seen this man on the wall, and she didn't like the look in his eyes!

"Ah!" He Ruo grabbed Ye Yishu and refused to let her go.

Ye Yishu had something in his heart, and he lost 100% of his usual patience with He Bi's sudden temper.

Ye Yishu pulled He Xiang away with a little strength, with a serious expression, "Don't make trouble, I'll just walk for a while."

He Ruo was heartbroken, kicked Ye Yishu, turned and ran away.

Ye Yishu was worried about He Bi, but he had more urgent matters in his heart. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to ask Lu Tingxin for an explanation first.

Hiding on the second floor, He Bi saw this, the grievance in his heart became more and more serious, and he was so angry that he wanted to cry.

Her head moved, and He Bi felt that she was very angry for no reason. When Uncle Ye was talking to outsiders, Aunt Ye would not be angry. Now that her sister was talking to people, how could she be angry.

Thinking about it this way, He Ruo felt that he was as childish as the little granddaughter of Dr. Shi's house next door, lowered his head depressedly, and kicked back to the room.

--------

Outside the gate, Ye Yishu and Lu Tingxin were standing in the courtyard talking.

Ye Yishu got straight to the point, "On the night of the dinner, I lost my meal card."

Lu Tingxin looked openly, "And then? Do you suspect that I stole it?"

"During the whole process, you were the only one who helped me carry my schoolbag. Apart from you, I can't think of anyone else who has this opportunity."

"No, there is one more person."

"Who?"

"yourself."

"???"

"Did you forget? When I accidentally spilled wine on your clothes, you took the tissue from your bag. Are you sure you still have the meal card?"

Ye Yishu recalled carefully.

When she took the tissue, there were watches, pens, erasers, sugar in the bag...

No meal card!

"You have been restless all night, and you have to take out your watch every few minutes to check it. It's no wonder that you can't get your meal card."

Ye Yishu's face turned pale, and the small bag containing the meal card was very shallow, and she dropped the things inside more than once.

This time, this time, maybe she really did her harm.

"Can I ask, losing your meal card is very serious to you?" Lu Tingxin asked.

Ye Yishu's mind was full of regret, and he answered without thinking, "Someone gave my meal card to the murderer who killed Ah Si's parents. He used my meal card to enter the community, and Ah Si was almost killed by him. die."

"Ah...like? The child you carried out of the heavy rain?"

"Ah."

"Sorry." Lu Tingxin said.

Ye Yishu forced a smile, "It's none of your business, why are you apologizing, right..."

Ye Yishu lowered his expression, and asked in his tone, "Don't tell other students about my family."

Lu Tingxin looked puzzled, "Isn't this a good thing? Isn't everyone around you in the future?"

"unnecessary."

"Oh, you look noble, but you are even more noble in your bones."

“…”

"Okay, I won't tell anyone else about this, but I have a request."

Ye Yishu frowned, "What request?"

"You can't refuse to go to the frontier to express condolences this time."

"why?"

"The other host is me, and I will never give up this opportunity."

"It's your business not to give up the opportunity, what does it have to do with whether I go or not?"

"Of course it has something to do with you." Lu Tingxin put one hand in his pocket, with a smile on his face, he was not as strict as usual, "If you don't go, I will change partners, but I don't want to change, Ye Yishu, I just want to be with you Your partner."

"We don't know each other."

"No, we know each other best."

"?"

Lu Tingxin lowered his head, and when he raised it again, a smile spread to his eyebrows, "You never cared about the interpersonal relationship of the classmates, so naturally you didn't notice who I like to get close to. Ye Yishu, in fact, as long as you put a little effort into it, you will find out , I will only get close to you, pester you...to please you."

Lu Tingxin's words made Ye Yishu feel unwell, and resisted the urge to turn his head away and said: "You and Qi Ang were admitted in the same place, and you have known each other since childhood, and in terms of familiarity, no one can compare to you, you can find him. "

"I really can't find Qi Ang this time."

"why?"

"The border guards have not been able to go home for a few years. It is difficult to see a woman, let alone an outsider. Since we are going to condolences, we naturally choose the most outstanding woman."

Ye Yishu responded inwardly, "Is this appropriate?"

"Hahaha." Lu Tingxin laughed loudly, "What are you thinking? Looking at beauties and handsome men is something that cannot be resisted in human nature. We just go up and be looked at by others, and we don't have anything to say, and we don't have any dirty thoughts, and... .”

Lu Tingxin's hesitation aroused Ye Yishu's thoughts, "And what?"

"The trainer says there's someone you want to meet where we're going, man."

male?people?

frontier......

Ye Yishu asked cautiously, "Did the instructor tell you what his name is?"

"No, just say that he used to be a young hero in the Air Force, and now he is in charge of logistics."

Ye Yishu's dark pupils shrank suddenly, and his body swayed accordingly.

Lu Tingxin nervously supported her, "Are you okay?"

Ye Yishu broke away from Lu Tingxin and walked back chaotically, "Please tell the trainer, I will go, I will go."

Lu Tingxin opened his mouth, "Okay."

There is a smile on the lips, which is particularly eye-catching.

--------

In the living room, Ye's father and Ye's mother were talking, seeing Ye Yishu's distraught look, he worried, "Yishu, what happened?"

Ye Yishu stopped, turned his head, and clenched his hands into fists, "This winter vacation, we will go to the frontier to give condolences, and we can meet my brother there."

Father Ye and Mother Ye walked up to Ye Yishu immediately upon hearing this, and asked uncertainly, "Really?"

"Really, the instructor asked Lu Tingxin to tell me."

Mother Ye was completely weak and might fall down at any time.

Ye's father hurriedly supported Ye's mother, and said to Ye Yishu: "Go up and see Ah Si first, I am here."

Ye Yishu glanced at Yemu's red eyes, felt very uncomfortable, nodded and went upstairs.

Upstairs, in the bedroom.

He Ru was lying on the bedside playing with rabbits boredly, as soon as Ye Yishu entered, she immediately ran over and hugged Ye Yishu's leg, where was the depression before.

Ye Yishu bent down to pick up He Si, and sat on the edge of the bed with her.

"Ah Si, how should I choose? Choose you, but he is the best relative to me. Now I am alone in the cold frontier covered with snow all the year round. Leave you alone."

"Ah Si, what do you think I should choose?"

Ye Yishu's firm "I'll go" became dazed after seeing He Si, both sides...are so important.

He Xiang sounded ambiguous, and there were only five words 'best relative' in his mind.

Relatives should be very important things.

He Ruo's soft palm touched Ye Yishu's cold lips, and nodded, "Ah..."

The soft voice that turned the corner is exactly the same as the tone of the elders when they dote on their children and ask them for no compromise.

you go.

What an answer this is.

Ye Yishu's eyes were wet in He Ruqing's smile, "Ah Si, I will pay you back when I get back, and I will pay you back double. You can't be angry with me, you can't be angry with me..."

"..."
