Flame red

Yan Hong was not very surprised when she found out that she had failed the exam.After all, during this period of time either there was a problem on Yang Bai's side or there was danger on Mu Yu's side, and she didn't review much after going back and forth, this result was also expected by her.

Compared with the failure of the exam, she was more surprised when Yang Bai found out that he knew Mu Yu, and his attitude towards her was obviously much better in the last few days of the semester.

Yang Bai said that he hadn't seen his mother since that day.But I feel very strange, because if that "mother" is a monster with evil intentions, why should she fulfill her expectations during her lifetime?

Yan Hong was slightly taken aback. "Expectation in life?"

"My mother has always felt guilty because she didn't pamper my brother well. Back then, she was busy with work and basically didn't go to accompany my brother. She asked me to do everything on her behalf." Yang Bai explained. "So now a large part of my brother's rebellious character is formed because he has not been disciplined. She seems to always feel that she is wrong and wants to make up for it, but in the end she failed to make up for it."

"The so-called compensation is asking you to tolerate your brother's willfulness in everything?" Yan Hong frowned.

"I also know that this is wrong, but my mother did this before she was alive... So when the monster kept asking me to do things according to her style, I didn't notice anything wrong." Yang Bai said.

"Doing this will only make your brother worse?"

"So, do you think my mother realized at the time whether she was right or wrong?"

"At that time?"

Faced with Yan Hong's question, Yang Bai smiled and said nothing, and waved his hand to express that he would not discuss this matter anymore.

Yan Hong didn't understand what her mother was thinking, and what happened to Yang Bai's family, why the monster would say that the dearest person drew a knife to face each other, Yan Hong only had a half-knowledge, so it was hard to explain.But she probably understands that the monster who doesn't understand human affairs, maybe doesn't understand the right and wrong of human emotions, and just disguises herself according to what Yang Bai's mother did before she was alive.

Or, besides pretending to be himself, whose expectations are you trying to fulfill?

Yan Hong didn't quite understand either, after all, the people and monsters who could give the answer were gone, and as an outsider, there seemed to be nothing to do except to think wildly.It's better to worry about what you should eat tomorrow.

Filming on the third season of "Rainy Day" is well under way, with new Reuters images circulating the Internet every day, mostly of the pixelated stars.Apart from a few unnamed supporting roles and the male lead that Yan Hong was not interested in, what she watched the most was Mu Yu's news.

The mobile phone is still in the hands of the other party, Yan Hong has no way to go to Mu Yu in the film crew to ask for it, so she can only stare at the TV boringly every day, switching channels to find news.

She didn't mean that she really cared about Mu Yu, it was just out of habit.

Out of a habit of feeling a little flustered when you can't see the other party.

The day before the winter vacation, Yang Bai suddenly told Yu Le and Yan Hong that he was going to America in his second year of high school.

"Ah?" Yan Hong was taken aback for a moment, and then threw out a sentence. "Bon trip."

Yang Bai snorted.

Yu Le frowned and said nothing.Yang Bai didn't look at her either, he walked a few steps ahead with his schoolbag on his back, then suddenly turned his head, looked at them meaningfully, and said, "Have you ever had such a time? Actually, I didn't really care about it, but I found that it was always there. Thinking about someone, and then it becomes a habit."

Yu Le shook his head and laughed at her: "Then you must be in love."

"It's kind of sad to say that."

"what?"

"It's nothing." Yang Bai smiled, turned around and continued walking.

Yu Le murmured that this man was really difficult to understand.But Yan Hong, who was not talking to her all the time, suddenly felt as if a paint bucket had been overturned in her mind because of Yang Bai's words, and she couldn't grasp any thoughts in a daze.

In the white dullness, what gradually became clear was a clear, cold and beautiful face.

—God, what the hell.

She murmured blankly in her heart.

Mu Yu would order a takeaway for Yanhong every night at about eight o'clock, when she called to question that person, the other party said indifferently that it was just to prevent her from skipping dinner.

Later, it gradually became a daily homework, and it was never delayed.Yanhong didn't really like to make dinner, so she could just eat whatever she wanted, but now that Mu Yu kindly ordered takeaway, she also took advantage of the opportunity to enjoy the treatment.

But Yang Bai's words made Yanhong feel a little bit changed when she received the takeaway again at [-] o'clock in the evening.

In the huge house, she walks back and forth with takeaways alone, trying to make a little noise, but in the end she can't resist the steady silence, and when she stops, she always falls into a subtle and desolate silence inside.

Yanhong began to hate this kind of silence, there was no familiar figure in the silence, the house was tidy and tidy, there was not half a script on the table, but news about a certain popular actress was tirelessly reported on the TV.She was very upset watching it, not because she felt that the same reports were boring, but because she could only see the beautiful back of the man on TV, but there was nothing around her.

No no no.Then she gritted her teeth and frowned again.Think about it calmly, the current form is considered protection for Mu Yu, if Yi Mo stays by her side, sooner or later she will be harmed.

"You are just an ordinary little girl." Yan Hong said to herself.But even so, he expected that the phone would ring without warning at night, just like the person's unexpected actions and words.

Mu Yu didn't call. "Rainy Day" is about to finish, so it's naturally very busy, Yanhong wanted to call several times, but found out why she wanted to call Mu Yu?

If you are asking about the latest situation, isn't Master Lu guarding the other end?Or, simply feel that I haven't heard that person's voice for a long time, and want to talk about something?

what's the topic?Talk about your failure?Talk about Yang Bai going abroad?

These are all Yan Hong's private affairs, so why should she hook up with Mu Yu?

She wandered to Mu Yu's room at night, and when she was lying on the double bed, she remembered Yu Le's words that were half a joke, but also half affirmative.

- Then you must be in love.

"Love..." Yan Hong has never encountered this word, at most it will flow out of her mouth as an article.But if it surfaced seriously in my heart, it would really be a moment of bewilderment. "Love is a ghost!"

She wanted to cry but rolled over on the bed several times covering her face.

Who is Mu Yu?superstar?Descendant of a famous family?I don't know how many adolescent and middle-aged men and women out there admire this person, and among these men and women, how many of these men and women are bewitched by the snake demon inner alchemy and become obsessed?

Yanhong began to think whether it was because she spent too long with Mu Yu that she was affected.

——Be careful when we meet next time.

She said this to herself, and then a carp jumped to the floor, and decided to go back to the room and do two chemistry problems to calm down.

On New Year's Eve, Yanhong went out and bought two packs of quick-frozen dumplings, preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner to eat all the bad luck and good fortune of the year, and with the singing and dancing of the Spring Festival Gala, it was sealed at zero o'clock, Then welcome a new beginning.

She has never tried it before celebrating the New Year by herself. Even though she was poor in the past, the snake lady still cooks two meat dishes. The firecrackers on the street and the singing in the video store are like young couples quarreling. .

Although it is not lively, it will never be lonely.

But now Yanhong is standing alone in the kitchen, watching the dumplings tumbling in the pot, and the commercial music is playing boringly in the living room, it is inevitable that no one is chatting, and she is a bit lonely, especially when she hears people who are gathered together from somewhere. The laughter made the house feel deserted.

Occasionally, two ghosts looked at her from the balcony, but they both felt bored and wobbled down the stairs.

She didn't think it was particularly uncomfortable, after all, maybe she should live alone like this in the future.

"Actually, it doesn't take too long to be alone..." Yanhong saw that the dumplings were ready, and carefully scooped them into a bowl, talking to herself to comfort herself. "Anyway..."

There was the sound of doors opening and closing.

The movements of her hands stopped.The sound of opening and closing the door flashed by, hurried and clean, making Yan Hong think it was her own illusion.But then I heard a burst of footsteps walking towards the living room.

Yan Hong put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hand with a slap, and began to follow the sound to meet it quickly, as if she wanted to compete with the hurried footsteps, becoming more and more urgent and clearer.

She remembered the magnets that had been snapping together from opposite ends of the track because they were attracted to each other when they visited the science and technology museum.

And they happened to bump into each other.

Yanhong realized that she had been hugged so tightly all along, Mu Yu's arms easily encircled her entire shoulders, her heart that was used to loneliness seemed to be torn apart, but this kind of pain was not painful. I feel disgusted, on the contrary, maybe because of this, a certain part is satisfied.

Her thoughts were still as white as an overturned paint bucket.Not knowing what to think about, and unable to act, Yan Hong could only reach out and hug Mu Yu back.

The man pushed Yan Hong towards the sofa in the living room with unsteady steps, pressing her on top.

Yan Hong was about to say something when she felt Mu Yu slid down a few inches, knelt down in front of her, and buried her face in her arms.

"Mu Yu?" She gently pushed him with some doubts.

There were still some water stains left on Mu Yu's coat, and his long hair was scattered on his shoulders, soft and delicate. Yan Hong reached out and touched it, like snow that melted very easily.

She muttered something.

Yan Hong didn't hear clearly, so she could only bend down and get closer to that person. "What?"

"I am afraid."

Mu Yu's voice was very small, much softer than usual.

"Afraid of what?" Yan Hong asked.Before Mu Yu could answer, the doorbell rang hastily.

I said it was in a hurry, because judging from the frequency of the ringing, the people outside seemed to be in a hurry, completely disregarding politeness, and seemed to want to ring the doorbell.

Yan Hong frowned, and found that Mu Yu didn't bring any luggage when she came back this time, so she thought that there were people like her parents outside.Although I don't really want to meet people from Mu's family, and I would walk around when I occasionally meet Mu Xiangzhi at school, but no matter how I say it, it would be impolite not to talk to him now.

Thinking of this, she broke Mu Yu's arm that was holding her, stood up and walked towards the door, after walking a few steps, the man stretched out his hand from behind to hug her tightly, making Yan Hong stagger and almost fell down.

— Absolutely something went wrong.

Yan Hong sighed inwardly with certainty.

At the same time, Mu Yu whispered in her ear: "Don't go."

"Aren't you going to open the door?"

The doorbell still rang hurriedly and impolitely, but Mu Yu had no intention of letting go.

"As soon as you open the door, they will take me away again." She said this lightly, but it was because she was soft enough that Yan Hong didn't know how to comfort and refute.

Although she really wanted to convince this somewhat willful adult that there was no benefit in being with her in the current situation.But I recalled that Mu Yu once said that being with her was never to escape from those things.

"That, Mu Yu." Yan Hong hesitated for a moment, but still forcefully separated the hands clasped around her shoulders, and turned to look at that person.

Mu Yu lost a lot of weight, probably because the crew was too busy to rest well, his face was a little haggard, and his forehead hair was a little too long, but the coldness in his eyes was still like the moonlight in the water, distant and psychedelic.She looked like a somewhat awkward little girl, staring down at Yanhong, obediently waiting for her to speak.

So Yanhong smiled, and continued: "I made a deal with your father and the others, I won't get close to you again."

"..." Mu Yu's expression didn't fluctuate too much, she was born with such a cold personality, even if she felt uncomfortable in her heart, it was difficult for others to detect it on her face.But the frowning eyebrows can still convey a bit of entanglement.

Yan Hong stared at her fixedly, but the other party didn't answer at all, nor did she back down, her clinging eyes were like asking Yan Hong for details when they first met.

So she didn't insist anymore, and relaxed a little. "However, in our agreement, we didn't say that we can't let you approach me."

"Yeah." Mu Yu nodded simply, his expression still didn't fluctuate much, and he tightened his grip on Yan Hong a little.

Yanhong pointed to the corridor leading to the room. "You go in first, I'll check the situation."

"..."

"Go, they won't leave until the door is opened."

In the end Mu Yu let go of his hand in compromise, turned around and walked towards the bedroom.After she closed the door, Yan Hong rubbed between her brows, heaved a sigh of relief, turned around and walked towards the door.

Since just now, the doorbell has been ringing non-stop, and if you keep pressing it like this, it will probably break.Yan Hong calmed down her thoughts, then turned the doorknob, and opened the door with a click.

Master Lu standing outside the door squeezed into the room as if he had been ready for a long time the moment the door opened, and stretched out his hand to push Yan Hong who was blocking the door away.But he underestimated this 16-year-old girl, who was unexpectedly strong, and directly pushed him against the door, motionless.

"You!" Master Lu wanted to scold something angrily, he lowered his head to see Yan Hong's dark eyes staring at him coldly, those eyes were more piercing than Mu Yu's inhuman alienation, and had nothing to do with emotions , more like a statue carved out of ice.

He was startled, and immediately swallowed back the words that followed.

Yanhong didn't care about the change in Master Lu's expression, and asked bluntly, "What happened?"

Master Lu wanted to see what was going on in the room, but he couldn't find Mu Yu, so he could only frown. "It's nothing, today is the finale, and Mu Yu should have gone home, but he ran here instead."

"Based on what I know about Mu Yu." Yan Hong raised her eyebrows slowly. "If nothing happened, they wouldn't come to me in such a hurry."

Master Lu didn't like to see Yanhong because of the hospital, but now he didn't have the patience to care about being polite, so he pushed her hard. "I've been guarding Mu Yu all this time, but I didn't see anything happen, she ran back suddenly by herself. Get out of the way."

——Such a whim, coupled with the fear that Mu Yu said, it doesn't look like nothing happened.

Yan Hong was thinking in her heart, but still stubbornly stood still. "No, nothing happened, why are you so annoyed to take Mu Yu away?"

"Isn't it because of you that you are so angry?" Master Lu seemed to be angry, but he resisted the attack. "Since you appeared, Mu Yu has encountered so many things!"

When he said this, Yan Hong was a little dazed, but soon came back to her senses. "Are you really aware of Mu Yu's situation?" she asked.

"I'm an exorcist, why don't you know? It's you, a little girl with open eyes, who stays by Mu Yu's side for no apparent reason. " Master Lu asked back.

Yan Hong snorted. "Yeah, just me, a little girl with open eyes, has cured things that you, the only child of the exorcist family, can't handle. Even if you know the reason why I stay by Mu Yu's side, so what? She chooses me now, Not you."

These words seemed to hit Master Lu's sore spot, his face darkened immediately, and he said angrily: "Yan Hong, didn't you say you would never get close to Mu Yu again?"

"I said so." Yan Hong nodded. "But now Mu Yu is looking for me, not me looking for her."

There is no point in arguing with a 16-year-old girl. Master Lu obviously wanted to spend this precious time on more meaningful things. He looked in the room again, but he still couldn't find any trace of Mu Yu, so he took a deep breath. In one breath, suppress the anger. "Uncle and aunt are waiting for Mu Yu to go back to eat tonight. Do you want their family to be divided into two on New Year's Eve?"

Yan Hong smiled and said: "You tell me what happened there, and I will naturally grow up after confirming that the situation is safe."

"So nothing happened at all, and Mu Yu ran over suddenly by himself."

"But I don't think nothing happened."

Master Lu gritted his teeth, wanting to forcefully push Yan Hong away, but for some reason, the normally fragile little girl couldn't push her with all her strength.He became a little annoyed, and blurted out: "If you don't get out of the way, I won't be polite!"

"Oh, I'm just an ordinary person, don't forget that exorcists can't do anything to ordinary people." Yanhong reminded him innocently.

Master Lu smiled coldly. "Yes, I can't do anything to you, but I didn't say I can't do other things." As he said, he opened his palm with his backhand, and a little yellow paper man stood up in his palm.

Yan Hong was startled, but her gaze didn't fall on the little paper figurine, but looked directly at the aisle outside the door over Master Lu's shoulder, her face suddenly sank.

And at this moment, a vague but indifferent old voice came from behind Master Lu.

"Children of the Lu family, you half-dead patron saint, don't show yourself to shame."
