Tender as wild

Chapter 19 Shame
  Baili was like a child eager for confirmation. She wanted to go back to her room and call her mother to question her.

But after taking two steps, I felt like it was not working.

Her mother must be by her stepfather's side now. For the sake of a wealthy life, she would not tell her. This is an outcome that can be expected without even trying.

But the facts are becoming clearer.

She suddenly remembered what she had heard vaguely that year. The neighbor next door said that her mother was a cruel woman.

Before this substantive conversation could come to an end, their stepfather's car came to the compound to pick them up.

If this cruelty means abandoning Fang Ye.

Then the surprise in Fang Ye's eyes when she came to Lingjiang to seek refuge could be explained.

There is an explanation for Fang Ye's refusal to go home.

Fang Ye had an explanation for her coldness and impatience just now.

Baili lowered her head, her throat choked by the shameful emotion. She didn't even dare to cry, and could only let her tears hit the ground drop by drop, and then be swallowed up by the dry concrete floor.

Without noticing, her forehead suddenly bumped into something hard. Her legs were so weak that she almost fell, but a pair of big hands easily held her up.

Along with it, there is a faint smell of mint, mixed with a faint smell of tobacco.

This smell was very familiar and had entered her nose many times.

She looked up in confusion, but she was only half a meter away.

Fang Ye stood in front of her, frowning, his long eyelashes hanging low, and his straight spine showed no trace of the humiliation it once had.

Perhaps because of the story she just heard, she also noticed that there was a scar at the end of the boy's eyebrow, forming a particularly natural broken eyebrow, but it was far from being a flaw, and instead made his wildness even better. .

The young man supported her, a little puzzled: "Why are you crying?"

Baili said nothing.

But it is true that Fang Ye was smart enough. Looking at Chengzi who was drunk at the table, he remembered the unfinished words he had said when he first met the girl that day, and everything Chengzi knew.

The answer is immediately there:

"Bai Li, have you asked? What you want to know."

Bai Li shuddered all over, bit her lip and nodded.

Fang Ye smiled.

He rarely smiles, and this smile does not reach his eyes, and his voice is very calm:
  "So, why are you asking these questions?"

There was indescribable self-blame on the girl's brow, and nothing could be proved. She could only tell the story according to her original intention: "I want to help you, but I think you are unhappy."

……

There was silence for two or three seconds.

Fang Ye let go of the hand holding her.

He had not received many favors in the past, and he never expected to hear such words from a little girl.

A little girl who is uncomfortable even with herself comes to worry about whether he is happy or not.

This is really funny.

So, he looked calmly and continued to ask: "Help me? How do you want to help me?"

This question is very acute.

It pierced Bai Li's most ashamed heart.

While she and her mother were enjoying Fang Ye's father's pension, Fang Ye was bruised and bruised in this city for money.

Bai Li lowered her head in embarrassment, and struggled to think of something that could be achieved in the near future: "I will work hard to make money, and all the money I earn in the future will be used by you, until... until you don't need it anymore."

The air was silent for several seconds.

She heard Fang Ye laugh, and it seemed that he really thought it was funny, not ridiculous.

She knew this might not sound like enough. She couldn't make much money now. If she fell into Fang Ye's situation, no one would even want her to work illegally.

All she could do was hold her fingers uneasily, rely on the warmth in her palms to support her shamelessness, and stand in front of Fang Ye, waiting for the trial.

half an hour.

Fang Ye suddenly bent down and pinched her face, and said casually: "I don't want your money. You are helping me by living a good life."

This is too official. Ke Baili definitely felt sincerity.

Fang Ye seemed to really hope that she would live well.

This undoubtedly increased her shame, and she couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

On this summer night, every tree is covered with cicadas, and they chirp at certain times.

Xiao Bai and others also came from the living room, helped Cheng Zi and walked out the door. Fang Ye asked Bai Li to rest before following them out.

Bai Li returned to the room, took a bath absentmindedly, and lay on the bed when her cell phone suddenly rang.

Just like before, whenever her cell phone rang rapidly, she felt a strong sense of panic.

But this time it was different. Her hands no longer trembled. Perhaps the content of the speculation was too infuriating. She picked up the phone, glanced at the notes on it, and answered the call.

There was no one at home, so she became bolder and turned on the speakerphone.

"mom."

"What do you mean?"

A familiar tone sounded in the air, and he was gritting his teeth to suppress his anger, but for some reason, he didn't dare to speak loudly.

Hu Qingmei is going crazy. This daughter has been sensible for so many years, and this summer vacation seems to be deliberately going against her, disobeying her orders again and again.

She continued: "Why are you not at home? When my brother came back, no one opened the door for him, and the phone calls were all made to your uncle? Are you deliberately not wanting to make me feel better? Have you had enough of your good life? Are you deliberately trying to harm me? ?”

A few words of rebuke were very much like the greetings adults would give to their enemies.

Just a few swear words.

disappointment? anger? sad? Sad? Baili felt that it was all gone suddenly. She had been used to it for a long time.

She just said sincerely: "Yes, I have had enough of your good life."

"Absurd! You have to endure it even if you don't like it." Ms. Hu's voice was hoarse. She couldn't believe that her daughter had disobeyed her again, and she was so angry: "I don't care where you are, just go back and open the door for me, your brother." Do you know how much trouble you have caused this family by staying at your classmate's house tonight?"

Bai Li lowered her eyes and did not answer, but thought of what happened just now.

She thought that even if she couldn't get the answer, she should ask.

"Mom, did my brother not die back then? Did you not let him go home?"

The calm was broken, and her words were filled with tears.

The other party didn't seem to expect that she would ask this suddenly, and most of her anger seemed to be extinguished, "Why are you mentioning him?"

There was silence for a few seconds.

Ms. Hu keenly sensed that something was wrong, and what followed was even greater anger. She couldn't even control the volume to rise.

"Did you go to Lingjiang? Did you go find him? You are really crazy! Do you really think he is your brother? You are so brave!!"

"..."

At that moment, Baili was shocked.

Ms. Hu has never been so angry without caring about her image.

But it further verified her guess. There was no shock in her tone, only shame and anger, and she knew where Fang Ye was.

At this moment, footsteps came from downstairs.

Fang Ye is back.

Baili hung up the phone neatly, turned off the phone, then turned around and picked up the quilt to cover her head. Her fingernails curled into her palms, causing the flesh and blood to ache from the pressure.

There were tears in the corners of my eyes again.

She thought over and over again, no one was spared in this terrible world.

Fang Ye doesn't hate her.

What about her?

What can she do for Fang Ye?
