like her

Ruan Gai did not expect to see He Lele in Chengnan No. [-] Middle School.

She was completely different from what I remembered. In the past, she loved to smile flamboyantly, and when she spoke, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked.

He also loves to follow her, chattering gossip.

The arrogance and self-confidence exuded from her was something that Ruan Gai had no way of possessing before.

But after being separated for many years, when the two met again, she just stood far away, not daring to approach.There was still a little dodge in his eyes.

He wanted to speak up, but he didn't dare.

Ruan Gai opened his mouth slightly, feeling that the person in front of him looked familiar, but he was not sure.

She couldn't believe that the person in front of her was the pistachio of her youth.

When she yelled "Sister Gai" with tears in her eyes, Ruan Gai got up from the stool, strode over, and hugged her into his arms.

"is it you?"

He Lele burst into tears all at once.

"It's me, Sister Gai, I've finally found you."

That night, a picture of the two embracing unexpectedly appeared on the homepage of the forum.

Ruan Gai didn't pay attention to these, so naturally he didn't know.

She was still immersed in the joy of seeing old friends.

Just at this time, Lin Duqing came to her, wanting to ask if what she said earlier about sleeping in her dormitory still counts.She was very happy, took Lin Duqing's arm, and began to introduce He Lele.

He also said that He Lele would live with her recently.

Lin Duqing wanted to say something, finally smiled and said, "That's pretty good, you haven't seen each other for so many years."

"Yes."

"I thought there was no way to see her again." Ruan Gai didn't notice her subtle expression, but said what was in his heart, "She's going to the bathroom now, when she comes back, I'll introduce you .”

"However, she seems to be different now."

What kind of feeling is it?

It was as if everyone was taking steps forward, but——

But it felt like she had been staying in place, even retreating a bit.

Something was missing from her that Nguyen Gay had seen in her.

Still quite uncomfortable.

So when Ruan Gai found out, she knew about her, because she couldn't wait for the long train, she immediately bought a plane ticket and flew over.After seeing each other, I planned to go back.

Ruan Gai never allowed her to go.

She intuited that what happened to her changed everything about her.

"Stay with me for a few days. You don't have to worry about food, housing and transportation. I can take care of you. You have to trust me, just like before."

He Lele was still a little hesitant.

Until she said, just like before, the softness in He Lele's heart was pulled out at once.

When He Lele came back from the toilet, he was taken aback when he saw Lin Duqing standing by the window.

Subconsciously, I felt that this sister is so beautiful.

Lin Duqing stood at the window in a daze, surrounded by the scenery outside the window, and the cold demeanor on her body made people immediately attracted to her.

When Ruan Gai saw her coming, he waved to her: "He Lele, come here."

Lin Duqing also recovered at this moment.

Eyes on her.

After a few seconds of delay, Lin Duqing really couldn't remember the appearance in memory.

Not that feeling.

After all, she was too young at that time, and she didn't have much contact with her at that time.

"This is my little friend when I was young." Ruan Gai introduced.

Lin Duqing didn't have the impression, but He Lele did.

She always remembered that there was once a child who could come in and out of Sister Gai's house freely, and Sister Gai would do her best to satisfy any request she made.

But he couldn't connect the chubby kid in the past with the unique female classmate in front of him.

"It's really a girl's eighteenth change, it's unimaginable. It's so beautiful now." He Lele couldn't help but exclaimed.

Lin Du nodded slightly, but did not answer.

It was Ruan Gai who answered: "Don't praise her, she will go to heaven with her tail later."

This is very familiar, and Ruan Gai would talk like this when he was already regarded as one of his own.

But at this time, Lin Duqing, who was in the period of youth and girlhood, was in the period when he liked to listen to some nice words.

It's just that she hopes that the other party directly expresses her concern than the kind of teasing that she is familiar with.

He obviously didn't like what Ruan Gai said.

"Then you guys talk, I'm going to the dance room."

Even though she thought she had experienced a lot, she was just a fifteen or sixteen year old girl.

It is the age when there are people who care desperately and things to do without hesitation.

"Didn't you say you want to have dinner together? Why..." Ruan Gai called to stop her.

She turned around without changing her face: "Suddenly remembered that there is a dance, and I haven't practiced it yet, um."

Ruan Gai wanted to say something, but He Lele was in consideration.

Saying more would embarrass her.

"Then you go first, dancing practice is important."

"Ah."

Lin Duqing turned around again, for some reason, her nose was slightly sore.

"Sister Gai, didn't you say you wanted to be a doctor before, why did you become a school doctor at school now?" He Lele asked on the way to the cafeteria.

Ruan Gai smiled: "Because of some special reasons."

He Lele said a word.

Ruan Gai asked her: "What about you, how are you? I didn't see you in Moda."

In the most relaxed tone possible, ask about the events of the year.

Although we haven't seen each other for many years, Ruan Gai always remembers what happened back then.

To some extent, the agreement with He Lele gave her a direction.

He Lele paused.

Then he said, "I didn't go to school after that." His voice became weaker as he got older, "Besides, it cost me the money I've saved for several months to come to you this time..."

Ruan Gai was taken aback.

"how……"

There was no way to speak that word.

He Lele pretended to be relaxed and smiled: "Well, there were some accidents at home, um."

Ruan Gai asked tentatively: "Yes..."

"What's wrong?"

"Convenience……"

"Say?"

He Lele lowered his head slightly.

Ruan Gai: "It doesn't matter if it's inconvenient."

"It's not inconvenient, but I just feel that I don't know how to tell you."

"Then let's take our time."

When He Lele talked about the past, it was after nightfall.

The two were lying on the bed.

He Lele looked at the ceiling and said, "Actually, for a long time, I felt that everything was because of me."

Ruan Gai waited quietly for her to speak.

"That year, because of some things, I pestered my parents to transfer me to another school. They agreed, and because my grandparents were reluctant to part with me, they also went to the city together." He Lele said slowly, "But later——"

"After my grandfather went to the city, he became addicted to gambling for some reason. No matter how hard he tried to persuade him, the family kept arguing about it. Grandpa said that this was his business and had nothing to do with us. Mom and Dad discussed, otherwise, they will send the second elder back to the town. Since then, Grandpa has always left home and even slept in the gambling room. You don’t know when he will come back, and you don’t know what he is Time to go."

"It didn't take long before my grandma got Alzheimer's disease. We didn't realize it at first. We thought it was because the old man was getting old and his memory had degenerated. But later, when I found out, she had gone missing. gone."

"Until now, it has not been found."

pause.

There was silence for tens of seconds.

Nguyen Gai felt his hands and feet were cold.

A tear fell from the corner of He Lele's eye.

Her eyes turned upward slightly, trying to swallow back the tears.

Since then, the originally harmonious family has become fragmented.

Dad started drinking heavily, blaming Mom every day and, of course, taking his anger out on her.

Almost every night before going to bed, He Lele would feel suffocated.

She could not sleep, and even when she did she felt that the nightmare had seized her.

She wants to work hard on something, but she feels that as soon as she opens her mouth——

Everything will be more chaotic.

In such a situation, she would definitely not be allowed to read the book.

The formerly warm home also has no place for her.

My mother also sheds tears every day.

Suddenly one day, He Lele thought about it.

As long as she leaves this house, everything will be fine.

17 years old.

She started a life of wandering.

Because she is underage, there is almost no place to take her.

She washes dishes in restaurants, earns the minimum wage, and does the dirtiest and tiring work.all the way to her.

When you are an adult, you can apply for an ID card.

With an ID card, you can find a better job with a slightly higher salary.

He Lele returned to the previous home again.

But found that only her father was there.

Her father told her that the two had divorced a year ago.

The mother disappeared.

Father said, this is retribution.

It is her retribution.

The former father and daughter have become strangers than strangers at this moment.

I originally wanted to cheer up, get a new identity and start living hard, but at this moment, I fell to the bottom again.

She continues to live at the bottom.

Taking the minimum wage every month, and then excluding expenses, most of it was sent to his father.

A few years passed like this.

Her father gave her the household registration book, and she went back to her hometown to apply for an ID card.

At that time, no one in the town recognized her.

People only think that their family is well-off and bought a house outside, and they no longer go back to the town.

After taking the identity, He Lele continued to wander.

Do several jobs one after another and save money desperately.

But at that time, her father got seriously ill.

All of her savings were put into it at once.

But the person is still gone.

Since then, another tie and miss of her has disappeared.

Only her missing mother remained, the only motivation for her to live.

That's probably how it's been over the years.

After He Lele finished speaking, Ruan Gai suddenly broke down and cried.

She originally thought that her life was already very bad.

But He Lele, who once owned a lot, has undergone earth-shaking changes in just a few years.

And all these changes seem to have something to do with her back then.

She asked:

"Is it because of me that you changed schools back then?"

The author has something to say: Well

Some accidents in life happen suddenly

but!

Everything will be fine for sure!
