There were sporadic red dots scattered on the ground, bright in color, looking like freshly splashed blood.

The dazzling scarlet was reflected in the pupils, accompanied by the intense coolness rushing to the apex of the heart.

Yan Wei's legs seemed to be frozen, his hands and feet were stiff, his blood was coagulated, his chest seemed to have been hit by a heavy hammer, his breathing was rapid and violent, but his brain was blank, and the hideous red letters in front of his eyes also appeared blurry double images.

It took half a minute to calm down, and before Yan came back to his senses, Su Ci had already walked over and rang the doorbell first.

ding dong -- ding dong --

The ringing of the doorbell echoed in the corridor, and the shrill sound was more distinct due to the silence of the environment.

Yan Wei held his breath subconsciously, and after a few minutes, Su Ci withdrew his hand and shook his head at them: "It seems that there is no one."

"Why don't you go outside and inquire?" Yan Chu suggested, "If someone comes to make trouble, the guard should not be indifferent."

Su Ci looked at Yan Wei and asked Yan Wei to decide what to do next.

In a mess in her heart, Yan Wei stood in front of Jiang Youyi's house like a wooden stake, until the two sisters' voices woke her up, and she felt her fingertips numb, and her nails dug into her palms, carving a clear mark.

She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

"I'll ask." She said and was about to go to the elevator.

hum-

At this moment, the mobile phone in the palm of the hand vibrated suddenly, and then the special ringtone with the volume turned up to the maximum also broke the silence.

Hearing the familiar ringtone, Yan Wei's shoulders trembled with excitement, and he hurriedly opened his phone to check the caller ID.

Classmate Xiaojiang.

The fingertips trembled twice before pressing the green answer button.

"Jiang Youyi, where are you now?" In desperation, Yan Wei raised her voice and called Jiang Youyi's full name.

The receiver was silent for a few seconds, waiting until Yan Wei's heart was pounding.

"...Yan Wei." The weak call rang in his ears, wrapped in a thick cry, and suddenly lifted Yan Wei's heart.

But the person on the other end of the phone only said these two words, leaving a long blank space in between. Amidst the faint noise, Jiang Youyi hung up the phone quietly without further words.

The rapid beeps knocked on Yan Wei's eardrums one after another, smashing her pretended calm to pieces.

Su Ci and Yan Chu looked at her suspiciously, both wanting to know the content of the phone call just now.

Yan Chu came over and saw the call log stuck on the interface, and asked Yan Wei: "Is it Xiao Jiang? What did she say?"

Yan Wei didn't respond, and called Jiang Youyi again, and the phone shut down as expected.

she dejectedly

Lowering his shoulders, he didn't realize that his teeth were chattering.

"She didn't say anything." Yan Wei said, his voice paused, "but I guess she might be in the hospital."

In the environmental sounds captured by the mobile phone, Yan Wei heard someone calling for a doctor.

Without further ado, Su Ci went to press the elevator: "Then let's go to the hospital."

Yan Wei was grateful for Su Ci's trust, she wanted to say something, Su Ci first smiled and rubbed her hair, interrupting her: "It goes without saying to thank you, we are all a family."

Her throat moved slightly, and she swallowed the words that came to her lips.

The community is not far from the city hospital, 10 minutes by car, Yan Wei went straight to the inpatient department, and asked the staff at the nurse's station if there was a patient named Xue Yu or Jiang Youyi.

"Yes, Xue Yu, in Ward 307." The little nurse found Xue Yu's hospitalization information, and Yan Wei's hesitant heart was a little more at ease. The person was found, and it was not a dead end.

Going upstairs and walking around the corner, Yan Wei saw Jiang Youyi squatting outside the door of the ward not far away.

A certain place in my heart sank downwards, and streams of sourness and pain emerged from the opening of the black hole, causing Yan Wei's eyes to turn red, and the eye sockets were moistened in an instant.

She stopped involuntarily, looked at Jiang Youyi from a distance, and for a moment didn't know whether she should just walk over like this.

Jiang Youyi leaned against the cold white wall, her arms hugged her knees tightly, her face was buried in her arms, her shoulders trembled very lightly, and she cried helplessly.

Yan Wei gritted her teeth, subconsciously grabbed the hem of her clothes with both hands, closed her eyes to adjust her breathing, and then walked over.

After taking the first step, she walked faster and faster. She ran through the corridor and slowed down in the last two steps.

Yan Wei stood in front of Jiang Youyi, didn't speak, squatted down silently as before, and hugged her knees beside Jiang Youyi in the same posture, and when Jiang Youyi adjusted her mood, she could be seen as soon as she turned her head.

The sisters stopped at the stairs and gave up the space outside the ward to the two children.

The silence lasted for a long time. The female student who had been crying silently moved her shoulders, her voice leaked from her arms, and her tone was choked: "Why did you find the hospital? Don't you want to go to school?"

"Didn't you go to school too?" Yan Wei's voice was steady.

She calmed down when she saw that Jiang Youyi was fine, and during the few minutes of silence between each other, she repeatedly thought of the red paint on the door of Jiang Youyi's house.

It was obviously the handiwork of a debt collector. Jiang Kangguo borrowed a sum of money to invest half a year ago, but now the project has lost money. Not only did he not make any money, but he also owed a lot of debt.

"Have you... been to my house?" Jiang Youyi curled up, looking very small.

"Well, I went to see it this morning." Yan Wei didn't hide anything, "When you called."

Jiang Youyi pursed her lips tightly and did not speak.

Yan Wei did not rush, and glanced at the door of the ward not far away.

"You shouldn't have come." Jiang Youyi whispered, "No, I shouldn't have called you..." Yan Wei is so smart, she must have heard something on the phone and guessed that she was in the hospital.

"Jiang Youyi." Yan Wei interrupted her and asked a question unrelated to today's matter, "Is the letter of guarantee you gave me serious?"

Jiang Youyi: "...Yes."

Yan Wei hugged her knees and stared at the opposite wall, as if she wanted to stare at a hole in the tile facing her: "But you didn't call me yesterday as promised."

"..."

"Then, according to the breach of contract regulations on the letter of guarantee, you have to listen to me." Yan Wei said these words in an orderly manner with the momentum of arguing in court.

Jiang Youyi: "..."

Interrupted by Yan Wei, she was withdrawn from the emotion just now, forced to reflect, but unable to refute, she hesitated for half a minute before whispering: "What do you want?"

Yan Wei looked at her sideways: "From now on, whatever I ask, what you answer."

Jiang Youyi still buried her face, refusing to raise her head, she only agreed lightly: "...um."

Yan Weishun breathed a sigh of relief, she was afraid that Jiang Youyi would not speak no matter what, but fortunately she still had some weight in Jiang Youyi's heart.

She stretched out her left hand to caress Jiang Youyi's head, and when her palm touched Jiang Youyi's hair, she felt the people around her tremble slightly.

Yan Wei's heart ached and she wanted to cry, but she held back and picked out the question she cared about the most, her voice lowered and her tone slowed down: "Why is Auntie hospitalized?"

Jiang Youyi answered flatly: "The debt collector came to the door, and when they were arguing, my mother suddenly fainted."

"What's the situation now? What did the doctor say?"

"The doctor found out that there was a tumor on the back of her waist, which was compressing the spinal nerves. It is not sure whether the tumor is an osteoma or a hemangioma. Further examination is needed, but no matter which one, the operation risk is very high."

Yan Wei suffocated for breath.

Jiang Youyi continued to say: "Jiang Kangguo has no money now, and those debt collectors want him to sell the house, but he refuses, and he doesn't know where he is hiding."

One big stone after another was pressed on her shoulders, and all the mess was placed in front of Jiang Youyi.

Yan Wei opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but his words were dry, and he found his voice trembling when he asked: "When did those debt collectors start to trouble you?"

"Big

Probably... half a month ago. "

"In the past half a month, people have often asked Jiang Kangguo for money, and they would quarrel every time. Jiang Kangguo said that he was being plotted against, and if he didn't have the money, he just dragged it. Yesterday they came again, broke in through the door and smashed things. If it wasn't My mother fainted, they were afraid of killing people, and they didn't know what they would do."

Jiang Youyi's tone was very flat, but Yan Wei's palms were sweating. Most of these debt collectors are unprofessional bastards, and they can do anything if they don't agree with each other.

This time Jiang's mother fell ill and was hospitalized, Jiang Youyi escaped by chance, but if there is a next time, what about the next time?Yan Wei couldn't imagine.

In her previous life, Jiang Youyi took such pressure to take care of Xue Yu by herself. After Xue Yu passed away, Jiang Youyi's only spiritual support also collapsed. She was subjected to Jiang Kang's state violence when she returned home, and was excluded by her classmates at school. Every day became more and more depressed.

Yan Wei's tongue was bitter, thinking back to that time, she felt ashamed of her ignorance.

When Jiang Youyi was most desperate, as an outsider, her care and self-understanding were not much different from the perpetrator.

What Jiang Youyi needs has never been hypocritical pity, nor the insignificant friendliness of others, but long-lasting companionship.

In her previous life, she understood too late and missed too much, so in the end Jiang Youyi left her only a thin diary and short and rare memories to support her long and lonely rest of her life.

In this life, she will be by her side from the very beginning, accompanying her through this 17-year-old summer.

Yan Wei followed Jiang Youyi's hair: "The next time you encounter such a situation, you should call the police. No matter what the reason is, it is illegal to break into a private house, and the police will take care of it."

"The police can't control it." Jiang Youyi said sullenly, "They are all local hooligans. The police took them to the police station to squat for two days, and when they came out, they intensified and continued to make trouble. If they can prevent it once or twice, can the police continue to control them?"

Yan Wei was at a loss for words, but what Jiang Youyi said was correct, if it wasn't for serious murder and arson, even if the police came to take care of it and punish it according to the law, it would probably be a result of innocence, and it would be impossible to stop the scourge from the root.

And these people are like dog skin plasters, sticking to wherever they go, they always have a way to find out the intelligence of the victim.

As long as there is a solution, who is willing to make troubles to the point of killing people?

In the final analysis, it was Jiang Kangguo's fault. Once he left, he left a pile of mess, and those who stayed behind were forced to bear endless censure.

Only by getting rid of Jiang Kangguo can they find a way out.

"Don't worry, let's find a solution together." Yan Wei comforted her.

"Since those people don't dare to make a fuss, at least they dare not come to the hospital during the period when my aunt is hospitalized. The problems will be solved one by one. Let's see how to treat my aunt's illness first."

She leaned over and put her face on Jiang Youyi's forehead: "You can... try to rely on me."

Jiang Youyi finally raised her head from the crook of her arms, Yan Wei was able to clearly see her red eyes and the heavy shadows around her eye sockets.

There were still wet tears in the corners of her eyes, which made people feel distressed.

Yan Wei reached out to touch her face, and wiped away the wet tears on her face bit by bit with his fingertips.

"It's okay, Youyi."

"I will always be here."
