Bamboo horse is not a gentleman

Chapter 35

In a hurry, the time to get together is always too hasty.

It seems that every moment of separation, there will always be rain.

The outside of the car window was covered with fine and dense raindrops, as if the tears of Liren would not stop, and the scenery became blurred, revealing a silent confusion and desolation.

In the evening, there were very few passengers in the train carriages. When we arrived at the station before Lucheng Station, only Lu Bai and Yuan Qing were left in the entire carriage.

The two of them were silent all the way, and just opened a pack of salt-fried peanuts bought in the waiting room to pass the time.Foodie to foodie, it didn't take long to peel off most of the country, leaving only a pile of shells.

When he was about to reach Lucheng Station, Lu Bai stuffed the last peanut into Yuan Qing's small mouth, and said:
"Li Luoyang is my stepfather."

"Oh."

"Ruan Xinmei brought me to marry into the Li family, but the prerequisite is that my existence must be erased from both the household registration and the outside world." Lu Bai said in a low voice, and he called Ruan Xinmei's name directly, as if describing a relationship with Unrelated stories:

"Li Luoyang is a businessman who cares about face. Because Ruan Xinmei had a marriage history, he didn't intend to marry her at first. Even though he knew she was pregnant, he still hesitated. When Ruan Xinmei was in a hurry, Li Yan took her An opportunity was presented to her."

Yuan Qing had heard Li Yan mention Ruan Xinmei's miscarriage before, and it was he who deliberately stretched out his foot on the stairs, which caused Ruan Xinmei to stumble and roll down the stairs.

"I know, you have been in contact with Li Yan, I don't know if he mentioned this matter."

"mentioned……"

Lu Bai raised the corners of his lips, revealing a cold and dark smile:

"But that fool didn't know that his self-righteous strategy actually fell into her trap. Ruan Xinmei did it on purpose. She calculated the number of relatively safe steps in advance, and then deliberately tripped over Li Yan's outstretched foot!"

Yuan Qing stared at Lu Bai with wide-eyed eyes, speechless in shock.

"Are you surprised? Are you afraid? Ruan Xinmei is such a woman. In order to achieve her goal, she can risk everything! To her, Li Luoyang is a tool to gain fame and fortune, and she doesn't care whether she has his child or not. She will lose her fertility from then on." Ability is just a small price to pay for the purpose. Not to mention my existence, in her eyes, it is like dust, not worth mentioning. Since she married into a wealthy family, she directly threw me into Li Luoyang because of a miscarriage The incident was compensated in her villa. That villa is in the Xinghe villa area, which is why I asked the security guard to open the door for me when you went to Boss Cao to ask for salary."

Speaking of this, Lu Bai smiled wryly:
"After the age of 20, I never thought that one day, I would return to that nightmare place. I basically spent my middle school days in that villa of several hundred square meters. Every room was empty and quiet. It's like a tomb, except for me, there is no trace of people, and at night it is terribly silent, without even the slightest sound. Sometimes I have to turn on all the lights upstairs and downstairs to fall asleep. Ruan Xinmei seems to have completely forgotten me In the end, I had to bite the bullet to ask for the tuition and living expenses. Of course, I didn't want to use her money, so dirty, with a terrible trick and the life of an innocent child. Every time I think about it, I wish I could throw the money in her face!"

Yuan Qing couldn't imagine the scene described by Lu Bai. A half-grown child was abandoned in a huge empty house, without the support of his parents, without a source of livelihood, as desolate as weeds, fending for himself. In other words, Xu Hu is not that ruthless to himself.

Lu Bai continued to narrate expressionlessly:

"So from then on I lied about my age and started looking around for jobs as dishwashers, waitresses and bartenders, anything that would pay for my tuition and live and eat! I was tired and busy and my I am the only one in the world. Occasionally, I will stop and watch you and other classmates chatting and fighting each other. Your face is so youthful and peaceful, full of innocence and happiness. What a yearning expression! "

Hey, wait, what's wrong? !

"Since when have you noticed me?"

The man's indifferent face softened, and the corners of his lips curled up:

"Don't you know that you were known as a little fool in your class?"

"I really don't know, who called me that behind my back?"

Lu Bai put all the peanut shells on the table in a plastic bag very dubiously, and raised the corners of his mouth:

"I."

Although everything that Lu Bai experienced in the past made people cry, but Yuan Qing really wanted to throw all the peanut shells in the plastic bag on the bamboo horse's head to see if he could grow some IQ!
However, Lu Bai suddenly withdrew his smile, as if the sun was engulfed in the dark clouds in an instant:

"Do you still remember one late night in the second semester of the second year of junior high school, when I called your home for the first time with my newly bought mobile phone?"

Yuan Qing tilted his head, racking his brains to recall the events at that time.For her, a junior high school student, Lu Bai is a palpitating and unpredictable existence. Every time he appears, his voice will make her feel at a loss.

By the way, the day after Lu Bai triumphantly showed off his second-hand mobile phone in front of her... In the middle of the night, she was woken up by her displeased stepfather, who said that someone who claimed to be his classmate had called her. call her.

On the phone, Lu Bai's voice was a little hoarse, even strange:

"Yuan Qing, take all your money and come out."

"what?"

"Come to the school gate."

In the middle of the night, a little girl was asked to go to that empty and gloomy school alone, not to mention that there were rumors of ghosts in Anqing Middle School, just thinking about it made her hair stand on end.But instinctively in his bones, whether he obeyed Lu Bai's words or had a pink girl's heart towards the domineering handsome guy, Yuan Qing hesitated for a while, and then went out secretly.

Fortunately, my mother was not at home when she was visiting relatives in other places, and her stepfather basically ignored her, otherwise he would not have the opportunity to go out.

It was the first time Yuan Qing went to school on a sparsely populated night, and saw Lu Bai sitting alone on the curb in front of the closed school gate, with a taxi parked beside him.

The street lamp was half-bright and half-dark on his face, his face was blue and purple, blood was dripping from the corner of his mouth, and a large red spot on the back of his hands was shocking, which really shocked her.

"What happened?"

"It's nothing, I got into a fight with someone else. Do you have money to help me pay the fare?"

"Ah."

Yuan Qing paid the fare honestly, the driver gave them a curious look, and left quietly.

"Yeah, are you going to the hospital?"

"It doesn't matter, skin trauma, just wash it and apply some medicine."

Yuan Qing would never forget Lu Baiyun's calm words and his bloody face, even if he didn't mention it again.

"I remembered that you had a fight with someone and asked me to help you treat the wound."

Lu Bai's expression was dim, as if his eyes were covered by something:

"It wasn't a fight, but Li Yan and several others kidnapped me, locked me in a warehouse, and demanded a ransom from Ruan Xinmei."

"Then...you were released after she gave Li Yan a ransom?"

Lu Bai raised the corner of his mouth and sneered:
"Of course it's impossible. The ransom offered by Li Yan is all the shares of Yaoyang Group, so how could Ruan Xinmei agree?!"

"Then you are..."

"Maybe Li Yan wanted to vent his anger on himself, but the gangsters who followed him were basically out of money. While they were arguing over the division of interests, I broke free from the ropes that bound me little by little, let go of my hands and feet, and tried to get them. Schoolbags thrown on the ground at random. Fortunately, there was a window above the warehouse. I climbed up along the cargo box, opened the window and escaped. That night was very similar to today. It was a spring that had just warmed up. I was cold and hungry, and Li Yan took all the money in my schoolbag except second-hand mobile phones and textbooks. I was completely unfamiliar with the roads near the warehouse, so I had to go to the main road and stop for a taxi. , looking at the contact numbers on the phone in the car, Ruan Xinmei's, Li Xueshan's, and other irrelevant ones, and... yours. I don't want others to pay the fare, I don't want to go back to that villa, I don't want to see you again Ruan Xinmei's face, I don't want to have anything to do with anyone who is related by blood or ostensibly by marriage, even if I am the only one left in the world. I don't know why, your name suddenly appeared in my mind. I only have one thought, which is to call you."

Yuan Qing's heart was hit by the strongest electric shock ever, and it started beating wildly, and he couldn't help asking:

"why?"

"I can't say why." Lu Bai smiled, the light outside the window softened his cold face curves, "Maybe I have never felt so hopeless, there is no afterlife in life, only this life, but this life is so painful and numb. When people are extremely depressed, they will activate the defense mechanism. You, an outsider who is no stranger to me, even though you usually want to avoid me when you see me from a distance, you can’t help biting me like a child when you talk to me. At the corner of my lips, but thinking of your face, thinking of your expression, I actually smiled. At that moment, you were the only ray of light passing by my heart. I was like a person on the verge of death. I want to see you, I want to talk to you, I want to feel your presence, so as to prove that I still have a reason to breathe... So I couldn't help but call you, and assign you to buy food and drink for me as before, He even asked you to secretly lead him back to your home."

Yuan Qing listened, and when she felt the cool wetness on her hands, she found that she was already in tears, and even her nose was about to come out.Lu Bai thoughtfully handed over the tissue, Yuan Qing embarrassedly took it, turned her head and used her face to ruin the tissue.

Although very sad, Yuan Qing still wants to present Lu Da writer with a white eye:
"Yeah, when my mother came home early the next morning, she went to my room and saw that you snatched my bed and pushed me to the floor!"

Lu Bai laughed hahaha:
"Didn't I treat a guest to make an apology the next day?"

The two just talked about the past, and many dusty past events were narrated from different perspectives. The past days were gradually melted by the warm spring sun like a frozen river, and the dignified life that was walking on thin ice became bright and cheerful. .
