Doom Roar

Ever since his elder brother left home, Li Li has not had a birthday for many years. There is no sweet cake, no candlelight for wishing, no surprise birthday gift, and no birthday song sung for her... The only thing he has is The dark and empty room and the old photo that has faded.

"Yes... sorry, excuse me..."

Even before the birthday song was over, Li Li suddenly stood up, stumbled and ran into the bathroom, and didn't even know that he knocked a few seats.

Lying by the sink in the bathroom, Li Li splashed cold water on her face continuously. The cold drops wiped away her tear stains and frozen her out-of-control tear ducts, but they couldn't relieve her heart. It seemed that something was about to explode. weird feeling.

"You can't do this...you can't do this...you bastard! You are a bastard...you treat me like this, what do you want me to do now? What should I do..."[

Li Li suddenly immersed her whole face in the water of the sink, as if this was the only way to prevent people from seeing her weak tears, and also avoid hearing the mocking voices of this world.

She was afraid.

She was stronger than a boy since she was a child, and she never knew what it was like to be afraid. She even provoked the underworld once and was almost beaten to death. And hatred, there is no emotion that can be called "fear".

In her eyes, it was a useless emotion, and it had no practical meaning except that it could easily make others think that she was weak.

But she never thought that one day, she would be afraid herself.

Even though it was just a bowl of ordinary Yangchun noodles, a piece of white wax, and a birthday song that was barely out of tune...but the things contained in it were too heavy for her to bear.

Sitting back in his seat again, Li Li's mood seemed to have returned to the indifference before.

"I'm sorry, I lost my temper just now... Thank you for celebrating my birthday, but I still can't accept this gift." Li Li pushed the jewelry box down to the bottom.

"Why?" Xu Mo raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"How deep is the relationship, how much friendship is received... This is not a question of whether the gift is expensive or not, but that your friendship far exceeds the weight that our relationship can bear."

"Aren't we friends? Isn't that enough?"

Xu Mo expressed difficulty in understanding Li Lina's stubborn persistence.

"not enough."

"What about my good friend?"

Quite ordinary gifts can be rejected again and again, Xu Mo's stubborn temper has returned, and today he is determined to give away the pair of earrings.

"It's still not enough." Li Li thought for a while, but still shook his head.

"That……"

Just as Xu Mo uttered the first syllable, Li Li's body suddenly became stiff and his breathing became inexplicably rapid. The heat on his body and face almost rose to the point of boiling.

What is a good friend further? [

Although he had already made the decision to keep a certain distance from Xu Mo, at this moment, Li Li was worried about gain and loss again.

If...he really said that sentence, do I really want to refuse?

If...he really said that sentence, can I really refuse?

If...he really said something, am I really willing to refuse?

A series of three "what ifs" flashed through his mind, and Li Li suddenly realized that the inner line of defense he had built for himself was so vulnerable in front of Xu Mo.

An insignificant birthday to ordinary people completely ignited Li Li's longing for care that had been suppressed for 18 years. She felt like a cold moth at this moment, all she needed was a warm fire to open to her Embracing her, even if she burns her whole body, she will turn back.

It's a pity that Xu Mo's division of friendship seems to be one stage longer than Li Li's.

"Then... what if it's an iron buddy?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Li's face that was about to bleed instantly turned pale as if it had been frozen.

Buddies……

Li Li suddenly felt a strong sense of humiliation when Xu Mo threw him on the bed and stripped him into a white sheep, made him gasp and was teased, and then was suddenly put on his clothes and was told that the two were just pure friends.

Although this metaphor seems a bit frivolous to a young girl like her, it is the only metaphor she can think of that is most appropriate to her feelings at this moment.

If it weren't for Xu Mo's serious expression at the moment, Li Li would definitely rush out of the door and completely disappear in Xu Mo's world.

Looking at Xu Mo's eyes waiting for an answer, Li Li suddenly woke up... What was he angry about?What are you missing?Isn't this the result I originally wanted?

There is no more to gain, and no more to lose.

"Tie buddies...that's almost enough." Li Li didn't say goodbye this time, carefully put away the pair of diamond earrings, and smiled at Xu Mo, "It's the first time someone called you Tie buddies, the first time I received I will cherish it as a gift from fellow iron buddies, iron buddies."

Xu Mo looked at Li Li in a daze for a while.

Speaking of which, this was Li Li's first time laughing since the two met. Although the smile was very light and faint, against the previous impression of indifference that seemed to be indifferent to the world, Li Li's smile even made Xu Mo feel a little fascinated. The stunning feeling of the country.

"Hey, I'm so stupid to look at everything!"

It seems that because the relationship between the two was confirmed, Li Li lost the politeness and confinement of strangers in front of Xu Mo, and he also regained the coquettishness of some girls of the same age when speaking, but the indifferent tone remained. down.

"Look at you... Seriously, Li Li, you should smile more, you really look pretty when you smile."

Xu Mo also knew that these words sounded too provocative and ambiguous, but he sincerely hoped that one day Li Li would be able to open his knots in his heart and smile with worry like a normal girl. [

"Laughing?" Li Li touched his face subconsciously, and said unexpectedly, "I just... laughed?"

"Uh... it should be... right?"

Xu Mo suddenly collapsed. How long has it been since Li Li laughed, and he couldn't even find the feeling of laughing...

The dishes are almost ready, and the chef of this restaurant has some skills. A few simple ingredients just stir-fry the momentum of famous dishes handed down from generation to generation.

Both of them were indeed hungry, and they didn't have any polite words of thanks, so they just picked up chopsticks and ate hungrily.

After the meal, the plate was removed and tea was served, Li Li's words finally gave Xu Mo a chance to get to the point.

"You are in such a hurry to find me, what's the matter?"
