There used to be a person named Chen Xi who was five years older than me.

He is the grandson of the mother-in-law of the director of Huairen Welfare Institute.

In those years, we supported each other and lived with the children in the courtyard like brothers.

He is not a bad guy.

Chen Xi was able to endure hardships, was patient, and had a sense of responsibility. Even if the orphanage closed down and the mother-in-law of the director fell ill, he never thought of giving up any of the children in the orphanage.

He taught me many, many things.

However, people will change.

In such an environment, it was too easy to learn to be bad, or, like what Chen Xi said, he had no other choice but to become bad.

In order to treat the dean's mother-in-law and make money, he no longer sticks to a dilapidated orphanage, and his side is no longer just a group of helpless children.

He made more and more friends, did things that deviated from his original intention, and became more and more strange.

Until the dean's mother-in-law passed away, he did not stop this change.

One afternoon six years ago, he brought a girl who was only about three years old. He said at the time that this was an orphan and he would put it in the yard to look after it for one night.

But that child was very cute, and his clothes were clean and shiny, and he didn't look like he picked them up at all.And she kept crying, looking for her parents and going home.

Chen Xi told me not to ask anything, he said that he would never hurt that child, as long as he looked after him for one night, he would never go this way again, and he would go back to the orphanage and stand up with me that common home.

I agreed.

In this way, I did something that I will never let go of in my life.

Chen Xi gave me a sleeping pill before leaving and asked me to feed it to her.But the child was too young, and I was afraid that taking sleeping pills would affect his health, so I didn't feed him.

She said she was hungry and wanted to eat the porridge made by her mother. I only left for ten minutes and went to the kitchen. When I came back...

The child drowned in the water tank.

After being sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, the child was not fully rescued. The child became a vegetable and was frozen at the age of three forever. The doctor said that she would never wake up.

Her name is Guan Chenxin, and she is Dr. Guan's only daughter.

In those years, Dr. Guan didn't receive patients because he was seeking medical treatment to save his daughter. He set up the hospital in a secluded place because her wife had been mentally disturbed for a while due to the blow and needed recuperation.

I won't see him today because he said so.

He won't accept an apology, he won't forgive me, and he doesn't want to see me again.

After being adopted by Lawyer Lin, with her encouragement, all those I stole, hurt, and insulted went to apologize and admit their mistakes, except Dr. Guan's family.

They asked never to be seen again.

I didn't have the courage to face it either.

Even if I am upright, kind, and tolerant in the rest of my life, I will not be able to erase this past. I actually harmed such a young child.

Back then, there was no evidence and no case could be brought to justice.

The police found me again and again, they said that not only one victim, but also several children were missing.I really couldn't stand the condemnation of my conscience, so, later, I reported Chen Xi.

I know that he is just an accessory, but if we don't start here, this case will never be solved.

Later, those children were found safely. Although Chen Xi was the least serious, he was sentenced to four and a half years in prison.

To this day, I can still remember that he roared with blood-red eyes, saying that he never thought that I would betray him.

"Erbai, I don't know if he really wanted to go back then, but after the four and a half years in prison, he really can't go back."

Ye Bai lowered his head and saw Liang girl buried her head on his lap. Although he couldn't see his expression, he could hear the trembling in his voice, and he could feel that his pants were wet from his crying.

Liang Xihe actually cried.

"It's my fault... A mistake back then not only hurt Guan Chen's heart, but also hurt Chen Xi."

Ye Bai was speechless, he never said anything to comfort others, at this moment he really felt powerless.

The good girl back then was only 13 years old.

"It's not you who killed him, it's he who killed you."

"I really asked the child's home address at that time, and I thought about sending her back, but she couldn't tell! I just wanted to cook a bowl of porridge for her to keep her from starving...I was just afraid that sleeping pills would Hurt her body... I didn't know that Xiao Wu had filled the water tank that day. I didn't expect such a thing to happen just to take care of her for one night. I never thought of harming her!... But it's useless to say these !..."

Liang Xihe suddenly lay on Ye Bai's lap crying heartbreakingly, speaking incoherently, the veins on his neck burst from crying, kneeling on the ground trembling all over.

This matter has been suppressed in his heart for many years, and he has never vented like this.He cried for a long time, until he was out of breath before raising his head.

Erbai saw the big string of teardrops rolling down the girl's face, his lips were pale from crying, and he raised his head, like a fragile child.

"Ye Bai..." He trembled his lips for a while, and only called out one name.

"I'm here." Ye Bai lowered his head and moved closer, moistening his lips with his own.

"No matter what kind of past it is, I am willing to bear it with you. Don't cry, I love you, no matter when, I will love you."

After a long time, the good girl calmed down under Erbai's comfort, "I'm sorry for letting you see such a bad look."

"I'm sorry that I couldn't share your pain earlier." Ye Bai pulled up the good girl who had already knelt numb, and let him sit on the sofa, "Did Chen Xi ask you out?"

Liang Xihe nodded, "Well, tomorrow night, I will pay him back what I owe him in one lump sum."

"You don't owe him anything, even if you want to pursue responsibility, it's not his turn."

"Even if it was back then, as a friend, it was my fault for not persuading him in time. Just this time, I don't want to feel guilty about him anymore. From then on, we will be clean." The girl put her arms around Erbai, "This is The matter between me and him will have to be resolved one day, if I am afraid of him or want to run away from him, I will not return to Linxi."

"How do you want to solve it, let him deal with it? I don't allow it."

"I don't know what he wants. If it's just a punch or humiliation, let him do it. With the intimidation of lawyer Lin back then, he didn't dare to hurt me like that."

"Time, place, take me there." Ye Bai's tone could not be refuted.

"You can't go, you are my weakness, as long as it doesn't involve you, I'm not afraid of him at all." Liang girl's face was not as ugly as before, and he restrained his emotions again, "He hit me a few times I won't fight back, but if I touch you, I will go all out."

"Brother Liang, I'm not your weakness, I'm going to be your armor." Erbai's eyes were firm, and then he chuckled, "Just tell Brother Jian, and he will arrange good people. I will be fine, and I will be fine. Let you have something to do. You are married to a wealthy family, why do you still like to fight alone?"

After Liang Xihe looked into his eyes for a moment, he also laughed out loud, "Okay, I'll take you, we will go and return together."

"So, when, where?"

Liang girl raised her wrist and glanced at the dial, it was past zero, "At ten o'clock tonight, at a grocery store on Xianghong Street."

"Probably, what kind of battle is it?" Ye Bai pursed his lips, "How should I describe it to Brother Jian?"

"It's not a battle, it's just a few people. Just take Brother Jian and protect you."

"If Brother Jian gets hurt, my sister will cry."

"Your sister..."

As soon as the good girl started, Ye Bai knew what he was going to say, and then added, "Xiaoyaodao will definitely know about this, but I don't want my brother to know, so I won't fight with Jane for everything." Brother said."

"You decide what to do, as long as you don't get hurt, it doesn't matter." Liang Xihe kissed Erbai's forehead, and whispered softly, "I love you too."

……

The evening study on Monday was quiet and rigid.

There is no good school bully kicking the front table and chairs to make trouble, and there is no squad leader Lin to maintain class discipline.

The college entrance examination is getting closer, and everyone is very motivated to study. Almost everyone is lowering their heads and reviewing the questions.

Fangyuan’s ballpoint pen fell to the ground, and when he leaned over to pick it up, he saw the empty seat at the back table. He felt very uncomfortable for a moment, but when he thought that Squad Leader Lin must be working hard at home at this time, he also raised his energy and turned his head. Go back and do your homework.

Liangxi and He focused on finishing an English reading. There was a new word in the title, which appeared several times in the full text. With obsessive-compulsive disorder, he took out his mobile phone and checked it, and glanced at the WeChat messages by the way.

I saw a message from Dayang, saying that he was at the gate of Si Gao and wanted to meet and have a few words.

Liang Xihe frowned, Dayang and Chen Xi had always had a good relationship, this kid must have heard something, and according to his personality of a middle school student, he must want to reconcile it.

But in fact, no one else could understand the relationship between him and Chen Xi, and they were irreconcilable long ago.

He raised his wrist and glanced at the time, it was just after nine o'clock.

After tidying up the things on the desk, he raised his hand to pat Ye Bai, and said to him in a low voice, "I'll go out for a while."

Ye Bai tilted his head, expressing doubts.

"It's not a big deal, but I don't know how long it will take. If there is any change, please let me know on WeChat."

Ye Bai nodded.

Liang Xihe got up and left his seat, and went out through the back door.

The night wind was very cool, Liang Xihe pulled his school uniform jacket up to his chin, and walked slowly all the way to the school gate. Since the last trial in three halls, they didn't dare to climb over the outer wall. He prepared a slip signed by the old businessman before leaving the door.

After standing on the Yonglu outside for several minutes, he didn't see Dayang's figure. Just as he lowered his head to look at his phone, a few people jumped out beside him.

"Is it Liang Xihe? Let's go, Chen Xi is waiting for you."

"..." Liang Xihe suddenly understood, he didn't think that Dayang was doing the trouble, that kid was just cheated by Chen Xi.After so many years, how could Chen Xi still be the same old person in his cognition.

Before he had time to react, his phone was taken away by someone.

"I will return it to you after we meet."

Liang Xihe narrowed his eyes.

In this way, the time and place will all change.
