Time is like a lunatic, crazily coming and going crazily, but there will always be a trace left behind.

In the dead of night, Lin Anqiao wanted to smoke more.Especially when she thinks about the future.Perhaps this is the commonality of everyone who is infected with smoke, that is, spiritual dependence.

But drug addiction can be controlled, why not smoking addiction?Lin Anqiao will always control her body with her thoughts.For non-special occasions, you cannot let cigarettes control you.At this time, Lin Anqiao would stuff something into his mouth and try to calm himself down.

Still the same sentence, Lin Anqiao is Lin Anqiao after all.

After counting, three days have passed since my father went to Beijing today.I'm afraid that it won't be long before I hear the news I don't want to hear.

It's a foreknowledge of fear.My destiny will change drastically within a few days, but I can't change anything.She knew that all she could do was to do homework and sprint for the college entrance examination.

It was already late at night, Lin Anqiao was a little dizzy looking at the formula of the LC oscillating circuit.

On the other side of Luoxi City, Yang Xi was also scratching his head at the exercise book.The science of the college entrance examination is like a devil, twisting his brain tightly, making Yang Xi feel dizzy.Physical fatigue is also mixed in it.

Because despite making up lessons, part-time work must not be left behind.She is still the breadwinner of the family—grandma's pension is too easy to use up.

But thanks to Lin Anqiao who helped him arrange a job at the Shangri-La Hotel, the leap-like salary allowed Yang Xi to better reward his stomach.Now she can eat three meals a day normally, just like the classmates around her.

As a result, Yang Xi's small face has gradually rounded up, and her wrists are no longer full of bones.

That day, when the scrap collector saw Yang Xi, she greeted Yang Xi with a smile: "Xiao Xi, your face is rounder."

"Really?" Yang Xi himself is of course not easy to detect.

"Yeah, and it looks good. Before, the cheeks were horribly thin! Why don't you come here to weigh them?" After finishing speaking, the old woman pointed to the big iron scale that weighed the waste.

Yang Xi stood up obediently, the pointer was unbiased, and it just pointed at ninety catties.

The old lady gave a thumbs up with a smile: "This is just right, don't lose weight. I remember that you were less than eighty catties before, and the little bone frame made people feel distressed."

Yang Xi nodded and smiled, then ran home.Most of the girls in the class were distressed after gaining weight, but Yang Xi was very happy.Too thin is also a kind of deformed beauty, it is best to pursue a healthy body shape.

Also in the dead of night, Yang Xi, with her long hair curled up, was seriously writing Chinese materials, and for some reason suddenly thought of Lin Anqiao.

Lin Anqiao—has she heard from her father?How is she feeling now?Will Lin Anqiao be alone in the room and get drunk again like that day?

Besides grandma, it was the first time anyone could make her worry so much.

"Qiao Qiao," Lin Anlan's voice on the other end of the phone was so trembling that it didn't look like her true colors, "Our dad was arrested."

Lin Anqiao was unexpectedly calm, because he already knew the result.But when it comes to reality, I still can't help being afraid.

"Where is it?" Lin Anqiao took a deep breath and asked.

"When I was stalking goods in Beijing, who knew that the criminal police had already laid an ambush. It's really bad luck for eight lifetimes! I wonder if someone is going against us and doing it against us?" Lin Anlan was crying, her voice was sharp and indignant.

"Let's find a way to release him?" Lin Anqiao hesitated for a moment, feeling something blocked in his heart.After hearing what Lin Qiu said, she knew that it might be hopeless.

"I tried it a long time ago, but it didn't work at all. Dad's influence in Beijing is not that strong, and it's hard to find people." Lin Anlan was very wronged and cried.

"How many years can I be sentenced for this crime? Can I find a way to reduce it?" Lin Anqiao didn't even know why he asked these questions that he knew the answer to, as if he couldn't help himself.

"I don't know anything. I heard from my second uncle that it's serious. Who knows how to judge it!"

"Second Uncle?" Lin Anqiao frowned in disbelief.

Lin Anlan stopped sobbing for a while, and said, "Second uncle said he can't do anything."

"When will the court be held?"

"Half a month later, August 8th."

Lin Anqiao narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked up at the dark night sky.Coincidentally, tomorrow is the last day of make-up classes. After the end, I bought a high-speed rail ticket and went to Beijing to "visit" my father.

"I'll go to Beijing with you the day after tomorrow. You can contact people around you to see if you can make an appointment with someone from the judiciary."

Why do you want to see your father?Lin Anqiao didn't know, and didn't want to know.She thought, maybe she should help her sister Lin Anlan make another dying struggle, and find a way out directly through the contacts of the judiciary or the police station.After all, my sister still seems to love my father.Maybe it's because I don't want to become the leader of Lin Yuanhui so soon.

Lin Anqiao was distraught again, but definitely not because her father was facing a crisis.She felt like a mindless machine, inexplicably going on with her life.

"I'm going to Beijing." These were the first words Lin Anqiao met Yang Xi at Manji Dessert.At this time, the setting sun was close to sinking, and the golden slanted light entered the store through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and even the skin of the durian halberd seemed to glow.

Yang Xi looked at Lin Anqiao and blinked: "Didn't you just go on a study tour last semester?"

Lin Anqiao felt that she was about to lose control of her emotions, and her voice was hoarse.

"My dad was arrested and is in Beijing."

After hearing this sentence, it was most expected, but Yang Xi was still shocked, and stopped in the air in a daze.She always felt that such a major criminal incident was far away from her, but unexpectedly, it was close at hand.

She didn't know what to say, so she could only silently put the bag on the seat next to her, and then sat down, relatively silent with Lin Anqiao.

Lin Anqiao poked a mouthful of the untouched durian halberd, his face was pale and sunken, like a person who had taken excessive doping.Her lips seemed to have lost their blood, just like Yang Xi a year ago.Yang Xi was horrified to find that these days, Lin Anqiao didn't seem to be Lin Anqiao anymore.The baggy T-shirt seemed baggier, and the baggy jeans seemed baggier.

That confident, optimist Lin Anqiao, who was mischievous and arrogant, disappeared at some point.

The waiter brought up a plate of coconut sago dew.Lin Anqiao paled her cheeks, bit her lip and pushed Simi Lu to the front of Yang Xi.The durian halberd still didn't move, but it was riddled with holes, like a sponge.You know, in the past, Lin Anqiao was a fanatic of durian and sweets, and durian panji was his favorite!

"You said you would face it calmly." Yang Xi didn't move the spoon, but just looked at Lin Anqiao quietly with her hands folded.

Lin Anqiao raised her eyes, her peach blossom eyes seemed a little swollen: "I... am already very calm."

Yang Xi smiled wryly, frowned, and tapped the table with his index finger.

"Calm enough to lose weight like this?"

"I'm not losing weight, I'm fine." Lin Anqiao stiffened his mouth slightly.

Yang Xi raised his head slightly, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and pointed to the corner of the store: "There is a height and weight scale over there, I'll put coins for you, let's go."

Lin Anqiao hesitated a little embarrassedly.But Yang Xi didn't allow any explanation, so he pulled Lin Anqiao violently.Lin Anqiao was obviously weak recently, and almost staggered.

When the sophisticated electronic equipment slowly spit out the printed strips, Yang Xi was almost not startled.She just felt that Lin Anqiao lost a little weight, but she didn't expect to lose so much weight.In less than ten days, more than ten catties were gone.

177.8 cm, 51.2 kg.It is still the data measured with clothes and shoes.

Yang Xi squeezed the strip and looked at Lin Anqiao with wide eyes.I saw Lin Anqiao shrinking her neck, and her eyes were also erratic.Yang Xi felt his nose sour, and something wet swirled in his eye sockets.

"What's wrong with you?" The note was deformed in Yang Xi's hands.Yang Xi's wrist was shaking.

"I..." Lin Anqiao began to murmur like that day, even though he was not drinking at this time.

Yang Xi hesitated to speak, and suddenly turned around and walked back to his seat.Lin An Qiao followed up awkwardly.

"I didn't expect you to be so fragile." Yang Xi sighed and shook his head when he saw Lin Anqiao sit down.

Lin Anqiao didn't say a word, just lowered his head, like a child who has done something wrong.

"What's the use of being weak? It's still the same sentence. In the end, you still have to face reality! My family was very poor a long time ago, so poor that you can't imagine, eating only one meal a day and working part-time. But I don't Will ruin yourself, especially when you have nothing to worry about. Do you know what you destroy your body and what you bring? You are broken, okay; your home is also broken, It's okay; my heart will also break down with the pain of your heart, okay!" Yang Xi angrily slapped the note on the table, staring at Lin Anqiao.

Lin Anqiao was taken aback by the sudden change in tone, and stared back at Yang Xi in a daze.

"When you go to Beijing this time, don't hurt your body at any time, or I will be the one who will be hurt," Yang Xi said through gritted teeth, with an unyielding tone, "Promise me."

Lin Anqiao rubbed her hands together, her eyes seemed to regain some aura.

"Do you know, even if the whole world is against you, there is still me. I will stand with you, if you trust me. So you have to ensure your own health, if you understand my feelings. "

At some point, Yang Xi's little hand had tightly grasped Lin Anqiao's.

Hearing these words, Lin Anqiao smiled in relief, a smile she hadn't seen for a long time.She was also reminded by Yang Xi that she realized that in the world, there are not only people like Lin Wenhu, but also people like Lin Qiu and Yang Xi.

"I promise you."

Although the night fell, the flashing neon lights made the sky not so dark after all.
