sad knight

Fang Le and Fang Xiao are not biological brothers and sisters. Their parents had failed marriages, and they took them to re-establish a family after that.

His son Fang Xiao has a talent for reading, and his academic performance has been good since he was a child. He has always been the pride of the Fang family.The youngest daughter, who was brought by her stepmother, was unable to go to school normally because she was ill and had no money to treat her mental state.

Fang Xiao hated this stupid younger sister, and also hated this woman who appeared in his life.From childhood to adulthood, he felt that he was out of place with the surrounding environment.He longed to leave the family.

After being admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts, his father brought his stepmother and Fang Le to the city where Fang Xiao lived and studied.

My father started a catering business, and my stepmother and Fang Le helped in the store.Fang Xiao never contacted them, nor introduced his family to his classmates.Even in a city, he rarely goes back.

Although Fang Le, who grew up gradually, was a fool, he turned out to be slim.When helping in the store, some customers molested Fang Le with malicious intentions.When Li Hongzhe went to pick up food from their store, he happened to block Fang Le once.

That's how the two got to know each other.At first Li Hongzhe thought that the girl was just shy and afraid to speak, but then slowly realized that she was not.Her world is different from others, but she has not been cared for tenderly.

The sky was completely gloomy, thick clouds covered the sky, and the house was very dark.Han Chun turned on the light and made another pot of tea.Gu Meng sat beside him, and Li Hongzhe and Fang Le sat opposite them.

Han Chun suddenly felt that what Li Hongzhe said seemed not to be true, but rather like a plot that appeared in a movie.But he thought in a trance that if he didn't use this objective and calm way of narrating, it seemed that he couldn't tell the truth.

Li Hongzhe held Fang Le's hand, and Fang Le's attention was focused on Han Chun's teapot at this moment.

Li Hongzhe said: "...After a while, I found that Fang Le had injuries on his body. On his arms, on his back, on his legs..."

He looked at Han Chun with a blank pain in his eyes.

"Fang Le said she was afraid, afraid of Dad..." Li Hongzhe stopped suddenly when he said this.

Han Chun looked at him for a few seconds and opened his eyes slightly.

Gu Mengdao: "Is that what I think?"

"...Yes." Li Hongzhe said.

Han Chun looked at the innocent Fang Le again, and felt as if someone had hit his stomach hard with a stone.He whispered: "Did no one call the police?"

"Fang Le's mother doesn't care, Fang Xiao doesn't care, no one else cares, everyone has their own reasons, who else can be trusted?" Li Hongzhe said numbly.

The three fell silent, and after a while, Li Hongzhe said longingly again: "I want to take Fang Le away, and I want her to marry me."

Gu Mengdao: "Her family won't allow it."

"Yeah." Li Hongzhe nodded, "I want money, I don't have that much money. And her father...forget it. I know I have nothing, but I have hands and feet, I can work, I just hope Fang Le You can leave those people."

"Why her? She did nothing wrong." Li Hongzhe asked.

Han Chun couldn't answer. He found his left hand was trembling slightly. The scar... the scar seemed to be hurting again.

"I'm sorry." Han Chun didn't know why he said that.

Li Hongzhe sat across from him, raised his head in surprise, smiled at Han Chun, and said, "Brother, why are you sorry? It's none of your business. I also want to thank you very much... really special Thank you very much."

"I don't know if you can believe it, Fang Le... She did pack Mr. Gu's takeaway that day. But that thing... I really don't know where she got it. I asked her for a long time, She said she picked it up..."

Li Hongzhe laughed at himself, and said: "Anyway, she should have been beaten by her mother that day, and she was careless when she was flustered..."

"Absurd, right?" Li Hongzhe whispered, "I also think everything is absurd."

Life is the most ridiculous.

Han Chun warmed up something to eat in the kitchen, which was the leftovers from yesterday.The four of them gathered around the coffee table in the living room to eat, and the wind sounded like howling ghosts and wolves from time to time.

Han Chun said: "It's too dangerous, you can't go back, so stay at my house for a night."

His house is actually very small, Han Chun gave Fang Le the bed in the room, and Li Hongzhe made the floor in the room.He and Gu Meng were sleeping in the living room. Han Chun asked Gu Meng to sleep on the sofa, but he didn't want it, so he wanted to make a bed next to the sofa.

At ten o'clock, the electrical appliances at home made a final sound, and then suddenly—the power was cut off.

Han Chun sat up from the sofa, and Li Hongzhe asked in the room, "Is the power off? Is it important?"

Han Chundao: "It should be fine, go to sleep, don't play with your phone, I still have a spare power bank in the drawer."

"Okay." Li Hongzhe replied.

Han Chun lay down on the sofa again. He let others sleep, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.He wondered why life was the way it was, why good people seemed to end up like this.

"Han Chun." Gu Meng called him.

In the dark, Gu Meng was sleeping beside him, and Han Chun could touch him as long as he lowered his hand.

"What's the matter?" Han Chun closed his eyes and said in a low voice.

Gu Meng said: "I'm afraid of the dark, woo woo woo, can you sleep with me?"

Han Chun: "..."

He smiled and said, "You're afraid of the devil."

He knew that Gu Meng was teasing him, maybe he just wanted him to smile.Gu Meng stretched out his hand, found Han Chun's hand, and finally held it tightly.

He said, "Why are you apologizing?"

Han Chun didn't speak for a long time. After a while, he turned sideways and didn't let go of Gu Meng's hand. He looked at a corner in the darkness and whispered, "I always feel like everything is wrong." It's my fault. Even if it doesn't have anything to do with me, I feel like it's my fault. If only I could... if I... if I could do better."

Gu Meng heard Han Chun finished speaking, his tone was very gentle, he said: "You have to be presumptuous, you bully me, come on, hit me!"

Han Chun smiled and said, "You are sick."

Gu Meng sat up, touched Han Chun's face with his hand, lowered his head, and whispered in his ear: "It's okay, when the typhoon passes, it will be fine tomorrow, I promise you."

When Han Chun woke up the next day, it was already noon.

He sat on the sofa in a daze, his head was muddled, and he couldn't think of anything.The wind and rain have stopped outside, and the sky is bright again.Everything yesterday seemed like a dream.

"Gu Meng?" Han Chun stumbled to his feet and went to the bathroom to take a look, "Gu Meng? Li Hongzhe?"

"Fang Le?"

He ran into the room, but no one was there.

The quilts are neatly folded, and the dishes and chopsticks have been washed.

"How could this be..." Han Chun froze, "I slept so hard?"

In fact, he has not been a very heavy sleeper, and sometimes he simply closes his eyes and counts sheep when he suffers from insomnia.Obviously, the typhoon was so strong outside yesterday, and he shouldn't have slept so hard... What's going on?

Han Chun had no choice but to take a shower, and when he came out, he saw Gu Meng's WeChat message to him: [I went to the police station. 】

Han Chun wiped his hair with a towel, and replied: [How is it? 】

[I found that person, he's a drunkard, not a dead person... But, it's almost the same.After he was drunk, he cut off his finger with a knife, and he couldn't remember where he threw it. 】

【Probably just like what Li Hongzhe said, Fang Le picked up that finger for some reason. 】

Han Chun: "..."

[Already... can't take it back...? 】

Gu Meng called and said, "That's definitely not possible. It's been so long and there is no ice."

He sounded very energetic when he spoke, and even Han Chun felt better. He asked, "...Where's Fang Le?"

"I didn't let her go back for the time being, and contacted a welfare organization." Gu Meng said as he walked, "If it is found out that Fang Le's stepfather's crimes are true, she will leave them."

"How...how could such a strange thing happen." Han Chun couldn't help but said while sitting on the sofa.

Gu Meng smiled and said, "Strange? Maybe. But if you hadn't delivered that box of takeaway for Li Hongzhe that day, I wouldn't have seen you again."

Han Chun touched his nose and said, "It won't matter if you see me."

Gu Meng said seriously: "Yes! It's very different."

Han Chun: "..."

He really felt that he had made his words very clear, so what else could he say?Why does Gu Meng seem to have never heard of anything in a blink of an eye, and still goes his own way?

Gu Meng continued: "You said it, you don't believe in love at first sight."

"Then I won't believe it from now on!"

"It's not difficult to fall in love with each other for a long time... I appear in front of you every day. Anyway, the summer is not over yet, and I have a lot of time to see you after school starts!"

"I..." Han Chun couldn't laugh or cry on the phone, "What are you going to do?"

Gu Meng said bluntly: "I want to chase you, can't you open it up?"
