When many people were still awake, Yang Xi got up at five o'clock as usual.She did a quick wash, fetched the newspaper, made breakfast, and nibbled on a slice of bread that was about to expire.Grandma is still sleeping in the house, and the whole world is quiet.

It was even just dawn.She picked up her schoolbag and walked to the school.

From time to time, there are fast cars and motorcycles passing by on the road, and the owner of the breakfast stall on the side of the road has already started frying fried dough sticks.Yang Xi felt a little uncomfortable being weighed down by the heavy schoolbag, and her left eyelid kept jumping up.

Today is the first day of make-up classes, and she always feels that something will happen.You know, many "firsts" are often not a good thing.

After arriving at the school after a long journey, Yang Xi found that there were still not many people in the classroom.That's right, everyone doesn't want to make up lessons, so of course no one comes.

Luo Yan, who was in the front row, was staring at a thick exercise book of comprehensive science, while Xiao Duruo used Chinese books as a cover to read a romance novel on the desk.

"Morning, Xixi." Xiao Duruo heard Yang Xi's footsteps from a distance like a dog, and raised his head with a smile.

"Morning. What are you doing?" Yang Xi raised his eyebrows in disbelief.

"Recently, "A Slight Smile is Alluring", which is very popular recently, it is said that it will be filmed soon," Xiao Duruo immediately became interested and began to chatter, "It's also starring angelababy and Jing Boran, it's so sweet!"

"...Sounds good." Yang Xi sat down speechlessly and began to pack up his homework.

"Oh, the great master Xiao Nai has been pushing him all his life, he is handsome and rich, so don't be sued again, he still majors in computer science..."

Yang Xi couldn't answer the conversation, so he could only listen silently, thinking it was funny and boring.

After Mr. He entered the class to give a lecture, Yang Xi suddenly turned around and found that Lin Anqiao hadn't come.Yang Xi was puzzled: Did he really know that today's make-up lessons?It's not like her style to be late.

But Teacher He just looked at Lin Anqiao's empty seat and didn't say anything.As usual, as long as Lin Anqiao was absent, almost no teacher dared to ask too much.

Is it sick?Yang Xi felt a little heavy.Just go and see her after school.

The lengthy make-up lessons have begun.The serious students were all dizzy, feeling that this annoying chemical balance was constantly moving and moving, could it be ADHD?

Yang Xi's signature pen has been used for many years, and it is worn out.But the delicate small characters and logical and meticulous process written are as brand new.

"Who is it?" After ringing the doorbell for a while, a tired voice sounded from inside the door.The confusion and exhaustion of that voice made Yang Xi feel a little strange.

"Yangxi."

After hesitating for a moment, the door opened slowly.I saw that Lin Anqiao was depressed, his hair and clothes were disheveled, and his eyes were not bright.

Yang Xi was taken aback and went into Lin Anqiao's house.

"What's wrong with you?" Yang Xi's tone was filled with worry.As she asked, she looked Lin Anqiao up and down.After only three days of seeing each other, Lin Anqiao lost a lot of weight, as if she had suffered from a serious illness.At this time, the bones of Lin Anqiao's wrist were clearly visible, and his cheeks were slightly sunken, making his peach eyes even bigger.

"I..." Lin Anqiao muttered, lowering his head.She wobbled, as if she was not standing still.

Yang Xi frowned, and gently helped Lin Anqiao onto the sofa.She saw a lot of empty beer cans piled up on the table, some of which were upside down, overflowing with pale yellow beer.

"You've been drinking." Yang Xi leaned closer and sniffed Lin Anqiao's mouth, to be precise.

"Yes..." Lin Anqiao's eyes flickered like dancing flames.

Yang Xi lowered his eyes, adjusted Lin Anqiao's posture and leaned against the back of the sofa, then got up to make tea.Lin Anqiao just leaned on the back of the sofa in a daze, motionless like a wooden figure, his eyes were empty.

"Drink some tea." Yang Xi held the warm teacup into Lin Anqiao's hand.

Lin Anqiao looked at Yang Xi, pursed his lips, and began to drink tea. The whole process was obedient and obedient, but also dull and numb.

Seeing Lin Anqiao like this, Yang Xi sighed, and then cleaned up the beer cans on the table.The smell of wine in the room is too strong, and there is a damp musty smell due to the long-term lack of ventilation.Yang Xi strode to the bed and opened the window, a warm breath came over her face.

Lin Anqiao had already finished the cup of tea, her fingertips were trembling, but she didn't know how to put the teacup on the tea table.Yang Xi snatched the teacup and put it on the teacup, then looked at Lin Anqiao again.She instantly understood that Lin Anqiao was not sick at all, but just suffered some kind of psychological blow.

"What are you doing?" Five short words, as powerful as an arrow.Yang Xi's eyes were like eagles, as if he wanted to penetrate Lin Anqiao.

"I don't know..." Lin Anqiao closed his eyes and said in pain.

"No matter what happens, you can't humiliate yourself," Yang Xi gritted his teeth and said angrily, "What can you do after you humiliate yourself? You still have to face reality."

Hearing these words, Lin Anqiao seemed to wake up a little.But because of the alcohol, she still couldn't get too sober, she could only murmur and agree, but she still looked sluggish.

Yang Xi bit her lower lip, and rushed to the bathroom resolutely.With the sound of splashing water, Yang Xi came out in less than a minute, carrying a large basin of cold water.

Lin Anqiao was really dazed, looking at Yang Xi puzzled.

"I think you are very unconscious." Yang Xi said coldly.

After all, in an instant, the basin of cold water in Yang Xi's hand poured over Lin Anqiao's body like mountains and seas, pouring the bottom upside down.

Stimulated by the sudden cold, Lin Anqiao staggered and curled up on the sofa suddenly.But it was strange to say that after such a pour, Lin Anqiao felt that his whole head suddenly became much clearer.She felt that her fingers were her own again, and her head her own.

Lin Anqiao's eyes regained their brilliance, and looked at Yang Xi again.A big bath towel appeared in Yang Xi's hand, and he threw it over.

Lin Anqiao, who was drenched and shivering, immediately wrapped himself up.

After seeing the change in Lin Anqiao's expression, Yang Xi breathed a sigh of relief, and sat beside Lin Anqiao to help her brush her hair.That movement was very gentle and careful, which made Lin Anqiao feel very warm and safe.

Looking at Yang Xi's gentle motherly face, Lin Anqiao's tears welled up involuntarily.

"Why are you crying?" Yang Xi frowned and asked with her mouth pursed.

Lin Anqiao didn't answer, just cried there, like a kindergarten child who didn't care.Her peach blossom eyes were flushed, her eyelids were swollen, and her whole face was covered with tears, making her look like a little tabby cat.

After crying for an unknown amount of time, Lin Anqiao felt very tired, and then gradually calmed down.Unknowingly, Lin Anqiao felt as if she was leaning on Yang Xi's body, and then her consciousness was withdrawn from her body...

When she opened her eyes again, Lin Anqiao found that it was already dark.At this moment, she was lying on the sofa, changing the familiar thin quilt.Not far away, Yang Xi was making soup in the small kitchen next to the entrance.The rich aroma of vegetable soup floated along the airflow, making Lin Anqiao's taste buds eager to move.She hasn't had a proper meal for a long time.

Lin Anqiao tried to get up, feeling a little headache.But fortunately, the alcohol has passed, and this is just a sequela.

"Sit there and rest well, I'll make some soup for you." Yang Xi had already keenly noticed Lin Anqiao's movements, and said without even turning his head.

"Okay." Lin Anqiao said obediently like a child, and then sat down.

After a while, Yang Xi came out with a bowl of cabbage and tomato soup, and the fragrance of vegetables filled the living room.Yang Xi blew on it and said, "Be careful it's hot."

Lin Anqiao nodded, then picked up the porcelain spoon and drank like a little hungry wolf.This soup seemed to have magical powers, once it entered Lin Anqiao's stomach, it slowly melted and spread, making his whole body warm and satisfied.Yes, every day is a new day.No matter how uncomfortable and sad yesterday, it will pass.

There's nothing you should be brooding over.

"It's delicious." Lin Anqiao said with a smile, his eyes were bright.

Yang Xi, who was drinking another bowl of soup, smiled and said, "As long as you like it."

After drinking, Lin Anqiao became the usual Lin Anqiao again, full of vitality and radiance, although there was still a hint of play on the sunken cheeks.She wiped her mouth with a napkin contentedly, and then mischievously threw the ball of paper into the trash can like a basketball.

"This bowl of soup really saved my life." Lin Anqiao breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, even though the plump apple muscle had disappeared.

"You have really proved the phrase 'The only way to relieve worry is to be thin'." Yang Xi curled his lips.

Lin Anqiao said with a smile: "It's good to be thin. Aren't all the models nowadays are thin. I guess they only lost five or six catties in the past few days. It's not that exaggerated."

"Please, it's only five or six catties in three days, it's scary enough." Yang Xi smacked his lips and shook his head lightly.

Lin Anqiao lowered his head, as if thinking about something, his eyes blinked.

"What have you been through these past few days? You were fine when I called you yesterday." Yang Xi hesitated for a moment and asked.

Lin Anqiao sighed, and decided to tell the whole story of what happened in the past few days.Lin Anqiao spoke very seriously, and Yang Xi listened very carefully.

After listening, Yang Xi lowered his head and thought as if he had experienced these things.

"Do you love your father?"

As soon as Lin Anqiao heard the word "father", a strange feeling came to Lin Anqiao's heart.She smiled wryly, "If I say I don't love you, am I a particularly unfilial person?"

Yang Xi raised his head slightly, meeting Lin Anqiao's eyes.

"It doesn't count. But if you say you don't love, you are a very hypocritical person." Yang Xi replied with a sigh.

Lin Anqiao pursed her lips, blinked and looked at the dark night sky outside the window.Her eyes were melancholy, as if she was about to shed tears in the next second.

But Lin Anqiao didn't cry any more, but instead showed a calm expression: "You are right, I can't turn the tide. Then 'understand the past and don't remonstrate, and those who know the future can be chased'."

"That's right, no matter what, you will 'lose the haze you have always had'." Yang Xi smiled faintly and shrugged.

"But I'm still a little scared." Lin Anqiao admitted very frankly.

"What are you afraid of? After your father went to prison, wouldn't you be freer?" Yang Xi blinked and tilted his head in confusion.

Lin Anqiao coughed, lowered her head and said, "I don't know..."

"Then don't think about it, you have to go to school tomorrow." Yang Xi suddenly paused, "Who knows what will happen in the future."

What's next?

next thing...
