If the world had no daylight

The deep winter rain was thick and piercing, and a group of people in the cemetery left slowly under black umbrellas, leaving only two people, one tall and one short, standing in front of the tombstone.

The two-inch black-and-white photo on the monument shows a very young face, she smiles like a flower, and her eyes looking at the camera are gentle, bright and clean.

This is what Xing Yun looked like when she was 27 years old. Ten years later, her 37th birthday has not yet come, but it will never come.

Ye Wan held an umbrella and stood in front of the tomb in a long black dress, looking at this photo.

In memory, Xing Yun never took pictures.She seems to hate facing the camera, and there is no wedding photo at home, let alone a family photo.So even Ye Wan didn't know that she still had such a photo.

When Xing Yun faced the camera, she smiled so happily, but said that she hated taking pictures.

Ye Wan looked at this face expressionlessly, and whispered softly: "Liar."

Bai Tian, ​​who was standing aside, placed the bouquet of flowers in his arms lightly in front of the tomb, squatted down, and used an umbrella to cover the bouquet from the rain.

The two stood silently in the cemetery until dark, but the rain never stopped.When the gate of the cemetery was about to be locked, they left without saying a word.

The funeral was hasty and fast, as if he felt that the name "murderer" was too bad, Ye Chengze only entrusted the funeral agency, and after spending the money, he didn't bother.He himself did not even show up on the day of the burial, and very few relatives came.

People leave tea to cool down, Xing Yun has no father or mother, so naturally there is no natal family, so there is not even a relative who cries for her after she dies.

Ye Wan didn't cry either, it's not that she didn't want to put on a show, but she really couldn't cry.

On the contrary, Bai Tian quietly shed a few tears in front of the grave, and quickly wiped them away.

After the funeral, Ye Wan continued to attend class like a normal person.

Although this accident is strictly a criminal case, it was reported on the news, and there was a lot of commotion in City C—the suspect died before the murder suspicion was cleared. No reporter would let such an abnormal case go, even if It has been hastily closed.

However, this matter seemed to be suppressed in this city. Even the people in the school didn't know that Ye Wan's mother's death was related to the murderer in the news.

Of course, this was written by Ye Chengze. The vicious incident at the No. [-] Middle School had already caused him a big fall, and another such scandal would be enough to shake his power and reputation.

The world doesn't care about the fact that he and Xing Yun have already divorced. As long as she is Ye Wan's mother, it is impossible for him as a father to separate the relationship.

The students in Class A have been unusually quiet recently. Looking at the monitor who is still in class, they all have some worries in their hearts.High school students are just at the age of innocence and just becoming sensible. Everyone tacitly took care of a lot of chores, and even lowered their voices during class time so as not to disturb Ye Wan.

People in other classes also heard about it, but considering Ye Wan's self-esteem, no one showed too much concern.It's just that there are more gifts sent to Ye Wan than usual.

They are called New Year's gifts, even though New Year's Day has passed and New Year's Eve is still early.

Early February is the last exam of this semester, and the winter vacation is approaching. Everyone in the school is writing in a restless mood, hoping to get a good grade in the exam and get more lucky money during the Chinese New Year.

Even the classes at the end of the crane became serious. They didn't want to live in dire straits during the winter vacation.

The people in Class A were surprised to find that even Bai Tian, ​​who was idle all day long, didn't skip class anymore.Not only did she come to school every day, but she also stayed in the classroom honestly in every class, as if she was a different person.

Coupled with the fact that she was getting closer and closer to Zhao Yuelan, the popular king in the school, the people in the class began to try to deal with Bai Tian, ​​and stopped treating her as a wandering person.

Bai Tian can only go with the flow, although she prefers to be unrestrained, but she can't stop socializing.After all, people live in groups, so she can't be a lone ranger forever.

Only Li Laotu knew why Bai Tian had changed his gender. He found Bai Tian in private, and rarely praised her kindly.

"The teacher knows that you are a good boy and have a good relationship with Ye Wan. Please care about her more and take care of her emotions."

Bai Tian complied smoothly.

But in fact, Bai Tian didn't know how to care for someone who was stronger than her.

Ye Wan is indeed very powerful. She can do things that most people can't do by herself, and she will never be affected by external factors.The only person who could influence her before was Xing Yun, but now there is none.

She still listens carefully to the class and helps the class and teachers of various subjects deal with affairs.Even if there is no one to disturb her, she will take the initiative to help her classmates answer questions.Even the tasks of being on duty for the day were done impeccably, and she couldn't tell that she was a young lady who didn't touch her fingers in private.

Facing Ye Wan like this, Bai Tian's concern had no place to rest.

So she could only come to school on time every day, leave school on time, and even watched Ye Wan get into her family's car before leaving with confidence.

Bai Tian knew that Ye Wan was different after all.

Gone were her childishness, her nasty teasing, even her uncomfortable jokes and flirtations.

She became more like a good boy than before, so good that no one could see the slightest flaw.

Bai Tian was even more worried.

Ye Wan is an extremist, Bai Tian knows this better than anyone else.She was very afraid, afraid that this sudden blow would cause Ye Wan's personality to undergo even greater changes.

No one is born with a bad personality and distorted views. The world in Ye Wan's eyes is the root of her personality and the culprit for her weak moral concept.

The so-called wisdom will hurt, Ye Wan is too smart, smart enough to see through the fig leaf of life, and face the deepest ugliness.And then numb enough to get used to it, neither cynical nor self-pitying.

She is like a dissociated egoist who evaluates the world not by right or wrong, but by pros and cons.

She can ignore her mother's cheating, just because her mother is the best person in the world to her.

She can ignore her father's concern because he regards face and his status more important than her.

Even so, Bai Tian doesn't think that Ye Wan is a person who has gone astray, because Ye Wan knows how to use disguise to protect himself better than anyone else.

But Bai Tian still didn't want to see Ye Wan continue to go further and further down this path.

Zhao Yiming's dance studio is going to open during the winter vacation. After receiving the news, Bai Tian spent the weekend helping to prepare for the opening.After all, she didn't pay a lot of money, so she deserved to contribute.

The decorated dance classroom was brightly lit, and Bai Tian had already been busy all morning when Zhao Yuelan came.She distributed the desserts and milk tea she bought to Zhao Yiming and several other dance teachers, and left a copy for Bai Tian.

"I think you might as well find a part-time job. Not only will you save tuition, but you will also get a salary." Zhao Yuelan teased her.

Unexpectedly, Bai Tian thought about it seriously, nodded and said: "That's a good relationship, ask brother Zhao to give me a job, I will come every day."

Accidentally sold her own brother, Zhao Yuelan glanced guilty at Zhao Yiming, who was still busy inside, and quickly changed the subject: "I heard about your squad leader, how is she... now?"

Zhao Yuelan is very concerned about everyone, and to use later words to describe it is the central air conditioner.Bai Tian didn't find her asking abruptly, so after thinking about it, he answered truthfully: "I can eat and sleep, and my grades are the same as before."

Maybe even better than before. This top student has already done well in several quizzes. If things continue like this, it is only natural that he will get a few more perfect marks in the final exam.

Zhao Yuelan obviously also knew how good Ye Wan's grades were, so she let out a long "hmm", nodded, and then fell silent, not knowing what she was thinking.

Bai Tian lowered his head and continued to organize the flyers of the dance classroom.

"So you asked for leave before New Year's Day, and you went out to play together?" Zhao Yuelan asked abruptly.

Bai Tian didn't expect her to ask this question, so he hesitated for a moment before replying, "It's a bit complicated."

This is what it means that it is inconvenient to say in detail, Zhao Yuelan understands it, so she doesn't ask any more questions.

In the afternoon, when everything was sorted out, Bai Tian greeted Zhao Yiming to leave.A group of people were planning to have a dinner together. Boss Zhao was there to treat them. Everyone was discussing how to have a good meal. Bai Tian excused that he had something to do at home, so he took a step ahead.

With her bag on her back, she walked quickly to the bus stop in front of the apartment, and got on the bus that was in the opposite direction to her home.

Standing by the window, Zhao Yuelan sighed and looked away after watching the figure disappear.

Every time, she took a step slower.

Bai Tian bought some vegetables and meat while the vegetable market was closed, and then rushed to the small shop without stopping before dark.

Wei Zheng was watching a short movie with his legs crossed, when he saw Bai Tian coming in, he turned off the computer in embarrassment.Bai Tian took it for granted, and stood in the middle of a pile of indescribable commodities without changing his face.

"Is Ye Wan upstairs?" She came over with her things and asked.

"Not here yet." Wei Zheng glanced at the time and was also a little puzzled.Ye Wan would come every weekend because she didn't want to stay at home and eat with Ye Chengze.

Bai Tian thought for a while, and decided to go upstairs to cook first, and when she came, it would be time for dinner.

Wei Zheng watched her go upstairs with a sour face, picked up his mobile phone and wanted to order himself a bowl of beef noodles, but the noodle seller across the street was closed today, so he had to call Shaxian again.

"Whenever I can have a girlfriend to cook for me." After muttering a few words, Wei Zheng lazily raised his legs, turned on the computer and continued watching the short movie.

Bai Tian went upstairs in a familiar way, and started washing and chopping vegetables quickly with his hands and feet, and stewed white rice for the rice cooker by the way.She estimated the time and turned on the fire to prepare for cooking.

The mobile phone on the table rang suddenly, and Bai Tian hurried out with a spatula in his hand.

The caller's note was "little bastard". Bai Tian answered the phone and asked, "When will you be there?"

"I'm having dinner at home tonight, you should go home early." Ye Wan's voice was emotionless, she hung up after she finished speaking, without even giving Bai Tian a chance to respond.

The person standing there watched the phone hang up, looked at the spatula in his hand, and then returned to the kitchen in silence, turning off the fire.

Ye's house was still brightly lit, as if the electricity bill was free, and all the lights that could be turned on were turned on.

Zhang Ma was still busy in the kitchen, Ye Wan went downstairs, took a look at the dining room, and frowned.

"Mum Zhang, how do you cook so many dishes?" She called out to Zhang Ma in the kitchen from a distance, the range hood and wok were too noisy, and the people inside didn't hear it.Ye Wan wanted to ask again, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a person walked in.

Ye Wan glanced at him, but didn't respond, and turned around to go upstairs.

"Wanwan." Ye Chengze called her, and Ye Wan's expression darkened instantly due to the intimate address.She turned her head and was about to ridicule him when she saw two people standing behind Ye Chengze.

With a smile all over his face, Ye Chengze took a step aside and said to the people behind him: "This is Wanwan, my daughter."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Ye Wan again, with a hint of warning in his eyes.He smiled and said, "Wanwan, come say hello to your Aunt Xu and Brother A Yuan."

Ye Wan looked away from Ye Chengze's hypocritical face, and looked at the woman in her early thirties and the boy she was leading.

The young man who was younger than her stood beside the woman somewhat cautiously. After hearing the words, he looked up and showed her a shy smile.

"Sister Wanwan." He called obediently.

Ye Wan glanced at him, then at the beautiful woman who was looking at her gently, then turned and went upstairs.

Ye Chengze's expression was also ugly. He smiled awkwardly, smoothed things over with the two, and asked them to sit down and prepare for dinner.

In less than 2 minutes, the people upstairs came down quickly again. Ye Chengze was about to call her to sit down and have a meal when he saw Ye Wan carrying a bag and slamming the door out without even looking at them.

The boy sitting at the dining table lowered his head and held the woman's hand uneasily.
