Chapter 98 The Lightness of the Heart
Chen Yiyi usually walks in an orderly manner, even if she is sitting in the car of some strange men and following them all the way to a strange place, even when she walks behind a monster and raises a knife, her heart rate fluctuates very little.

But today, her footsteps were a little flustered, her heartbeat fluctuated from time to time, and she even almost bumped into a passer-by when turning a corner, which was very different from her usual self.

She was flustered because her friends were coming over on Saturday, and she didn't want them to see...the three of them.

It doesn't matter, those three people were not there on Saturday afternoon, so it shouldn't matter.

She kept comforting herself in her heart.

Usually, it takes about 10, [-], [-] minutes to walk from parting to home, but since she got the light boots, she can jump regardless of the eyes of others, walk from the wall, walk from the roof, jump over the river ditch, ignore the traffic lights, from Jump directly from the underside of the overpass to the bridge, take various shortcuts, and find closer shortcuts every day, almost setting a new record for the time to go home every day.

Sometimes, if you don't want to walk, you can jump into the bed of a truck and take a ride.

For her, the world has changed from flat to three-dimensional.

The source of all this is the pair of light and agile shoes on her feet. Although they are not very outstanding, their compatibility with the user is more important than their level. It is like a fish in water on her feet.

Its former owner, Ouyang Caiyue, can dance in it if she wants to, but Ouyang Caiyue has to take care of the eyes of the people around her, and cannot be as free as Chen Yiyi, like entering a land without people.

The world took on a new look in Chen Yiyi's eyes.

A little bird that had just hatched and had not yet fully grown fell from the tree because it was too eager to explore the world. She bent down to hold it in her hand, looked up at the bird's nest on the branch, and jumped up. Fluttering down on the branch, put it back in the bird's nest.

A kitten was so curious that it climbed to the eaves of a high place and dared not come down. She first jumped to a higher place with the help of the air conditioner reserved on the body of a high-rise building next to it, then landed on the eaves, holding It jumped back to the ground.

A small child whined, and the shepherd next to him barked. He played a Frisbee with the puppy and threw the Frisbee on the roof.The frisbee whizzed and glided towards it, and the border shepherd jumped up and grabbed it.The child stopped crying and looked up to the roof, but there was no one there.

The border collie's sight was moving with an invisible figure, but it didn't see it, but the scent left on the Frisbee drew a track that was going away in its olfactory map.

Chen Yiyi didn't want to be nosy, she was just bored and delayed going home.

Boots of Lightness are great, but getting home early isn't a good thing for her.

Her happiest moment every day is the first half of the way after school, everyone is talking, laughing, eating and drinking, although she often plays the role of a bystander, but even watching is interesting enough... In the second half, the world fades quickly .

"Have some fun before going home?"

"May I walk with you for a while?"

"Anyway, I can jump around and take a shortcut, so I don't have to rush home."

She thought about these words in her heart, but for some reason, she couldn't find the courage to say them every time they parted, so after each parting, she was overwhelmed by frustration and disappointment in herself.

No matter how much she dawdled, she returned to the residential building where her "home" was located.

Take the elevator upstairs.

Open the door, enter the house, close the door.

She saw men's children's shoes and expensive brand-name sports shoes thrown around at the door. Children grow up fast, so there is no need to buy such expensive shoes.

The younger brother has come back, but the parents haven't come back yet, maybe on the way home from get off work, or working overtime temporarily.

She put on her slippers, and planned to return to the only small place in the house that belonged to her—the storage room, and then closed the door to isolate everything outside, to study her homework, go to bed early, and look forward to meeting her friends tomorrow .

Passing through the living room and the living room, she didn't see her younger brother who usually sat in front of the TV and played games as soon as he got home. She couldn't help but wondered, did he go back to his own room to study?Unlikely, if he would take the initiative to learn, he would not be the tail of the crane in the school.

Of course, she may also be at the tail end of Hongye Academy, so she is not qualified to say anything.

She walked to the door of her own storage room and froze.

The door to the storage room was ajar, and a yellow light shone through it.

Since the storage room has no external windows, you must turn on the light when entering.

She opened the door gently.

Compared to her peers, her younger brother, who was tall and fat, was rummaging around in the storage room, messing up her few things.

It may be because his stomach is too big to bend over, he was out of breath after rummaging for a while.

There is no bed in the storage room, and a mattress is spread on the floor as a bed. When you need to study, put the mattress against the wall, and then unfold the folding table and chairs.

The few clothes she had hanging on the simple hangers were all torn off and thrown on the floor at this time, and the underwear in the suitcase was turned out and thrown everywhere, and she even saw him casually Picking up a pair of her underwear, she wiped her sweat. After all, the storage room is not ventilated, and he is afraid of heat as a fat man.

He didn't notice that she came back, he took a few breaths, rested enough and prepared to continue searching.

"What are you looking for?" She stood at the door and asked coldly.

He was startled by the sudden sound behind him, and the flesh on the back of his neck trembled, but it was definitely not because of a guilty conscience.

"What about the money?"

He didn't even ask "You're back" or "What did you do?", and he didn't even mean to apologize, and asked directly and confidently.

"What money?" she asked back.

"Mom and Dad said that most of the New Year's money they gave you before, you saved most of it and didn't spend it. Anyway, it's useless for you to hold it. Give me the money." He stretched out his fat palm, as if asking for money that was originally something that belongs to him.

She was silent.

In this family, she lost her parents who loved her, the younger brother she cared for, her room and bed, and now even the lucky money she saved for so many years will be taken away?

She backed down step by step. It would have been okay to back down a step this time. Anyway, as he said, it was useless for her to hold the money.

As long as you hand him the wallet that you brought with you today, he will leave, and then she will pack up her clothes silently, as if nothing happened... Wouldn't it be nice to calm down?
But the only friends she had were coming on Saturday afternoon, and she didn't want to entertain them empty-handed.

So she can't back down this time.

"I have no money." She shook her head.

"You fart!" he cursed savagely.

"I really have no money." She insisted, so what if it was a lie?
He looked back at the messy storage room, half-believing in his heart, he almost turned the bigger place upside down, he took out any clothes with pockets, and he really didn't find a dime.

But his instinct told him that boys may spend all their money, and girls will always have some money left for spare.

"I don't believe it, let me search!"

As he spoke, he was about to come and search her body.

Is he still a child?
Is she still a child?
She knew he had no limit, but she didn't know that he had no limit to this extent.

Her body moved before her thoughts, and before she could even react, a switchblade was unsheathed in the air, and the tip of the knife touched his chest.

This time he was really frightened, his face was as pale as paper, and beads of sweat gushed out instantly, "You...you dare to stab me with a knife? I...I'm going to tell mom, I'm going to let dad beat you!"

She was also frightened by herself. In the past, it was impossible for her to target her family members with a knife...or is it that she no longer regards him as a family member in her heart?
She doesn't panic when facing monsters, and she doesn't panic when facing villains, but now her heart is pounding in panic. Fortunately, she usually has no expression, even if she panics, others can't see it.

"Get out of my room, and don't come in again." She forced herself to say calmly.

This was an unfair confrontation. She won, and all she got was the storage room that belonged to her. If she lost, there would be no room for her in the whole house.

His will to win was not so firm, he only knew that his sister who had always been weak and deceitful suddenly changed like crazy, and he didn't know where to find a sharp knife.

In the past, he was the undisputed overlord of the house, but now he noticed that the serfs seemed to have the intention of revolting.

In fact, relying on the doting of his parents, he was domineering in his own family, also commonly known as "the nest", he was cowardly in front of the teachers and classmates at school, and even the girls in the school dared to bully him.

Facing the shiny knife point, he almost leaked his urine.

"Don't...don't stab me, I warn you..."

He rubbed his back against the wall, and frantically moved out of the storage room, while the tip of the knife kept following him, pointing directly at his chest.

After finally getting to the door, he ran away like hell, ran back to his own room, slammed the door hard, and locked it.

She heard him calling on his mobile phone, probably to his parents, crying and complaining to his parents on the phone.

It is conceivable that when the parents return home, there will definitely be an unprecedented storm in this family.

She looked down at the switchblade, its bright blade reflecting her deep-set pupils and expressionless face.

Her mood returned to calm, unprecedented calm.

At that moment just now, the knife seemed to cut something invisible.

Maybe... it's the thin, gossamer-like bond between her and this family.

This bond has always bound her, they may not regard her as a family member for a long time, and she will never forget her parents who loved her and her cute and pitiful brother when she was young.

One knife, cut off the bondage.

The boots of lightness can only make her body light, but not her mind, but the knife can.

She no longer needs to be imprisoned on the ground, and can fly freely to the sky.

Unrestrained and relaxed.
