I can't hold back my heart

Chapter 1 Running away from home

"Dear citizens and friends, the next two days will be the annual college entrance examination day. Haicheng Radio FM96.8 once again reminds the general public and friends to cooperate with the noise reduction work and give students a quiet environment for the exam. ,Thank you for your cooperation..."

I don’t know how many times the same broadcast was played back. Wei Yuwan was busy in the kitchen all afternoon, and when she was sure that the last pot of corn ribs soup on the induction cooker was about to be cooked, she quickly wiped her hands, picked up the phone, exited the broadcast interface, and told her husband Licheng calls:

"My dear daughter, is her father off work?"

"Remember to bring the cake back, be careful on the road."

Today is the birthday of their precious daughter Li Li, which happens to be the day before the college entrance examination. Both of them want to give their daughter a perfect birthday, and then send her to the examination room together the next day.

Li Li's favorite cake shop is far away, and there is no delivery service, so he can only ask his father Li Cheng to drive to pick it up after get off work.

Wei Yuwan put all the dishes on the table, and after waiting for more than ten minutes, Li Cheng came back. Today, he asked for leave from work and got off work early to get a cake for his daughter. When he got off the car to go to the store, it suddenly rained , he got half wet, but fortunately the cake he was protecting in his arms was still intact, but the transparent glass cover outside was stained with some drops of water.

"Has the baby girl not come back yet?" Li Cheng put the cake on the wooden cabinet beside him, bent over to change his shoes.

Wei Yuwan brought him a dry towel to wipe the water, "It's not long after school at this point, A Li probably won't be home until a while later."

Just as Li Cheng wanted to ask if he wanted to pick up his daughter, Wei Yuwan pushed him into the bathroom, and could not help but tell him, "Take a hot shower, and worry that the cold will infect Ah Li and affect her performance tomorrow."

Li Cheng felt that what his wife said was reasonable, and he deliberately turned up the water temperature several degrees when taking a bath, but when he came out of the bathroom in half an hour, he saw Wei Yuwan pacing back and forth outside the door with an anxious face.

"Has Ali not come back yet?"

Wei Yuwan nodded anxiously.

Li Cheng immediately comforted him: "Don't worry, call Ali first."

"Done, turn off the phone." Wei Yuwan held the phone, feeling very uneasy.

Li Cheng also had a bad premonition in his heart, picked up his mobile phone and dialed the number of his daughter's head teacher.

After receiving a phone call from a parent with the prefix Li Li, the class teacher Lao Zhang jumped up reflexively.

"It's Li's father. The school sent the students home after only two self-study sessions this afternoon, and asked their parents to send me messages when they got home. My side shows that Li's mother sent me a WeChat message. Why... Is Li Li not home yet?"

Even though he had no idea where the little girl went, he still tried to comfort him: "Don't worry, Li Li is very smart, and she won't be willful in such a big matter as the college entrance examination."

After hanging up the phone, he anxiously touched the top of his head, which was about to be bare, and kept sighing, "Li Li..."

The sky was gray and it was raining, and there were hardly any people on the streets of the old city. Li Li and Zhao Ruoxuan walked into an alley with a small bright yellow umbrella.

"Li Li, didn't Teacher Zhang ask our parents to send him a message when we got home? How did you trick him?" Zhao Ruoxuan was really curious, and kept nudging Li Li with her arms.

The two of them only held an umbrella, Li Li was about to be pushed outside by her.

In desperation, Li Li stretched out her hand to hold the umbrella, and replied to her: "It's very simple, I used a trumpet to add the head teacher, but I haven't chatted with him, and he doesn't know who I am, send him a text message. When I got the news from home, I directly changed my nickname to Li Li's mother."

"...It can still be like this..." Zhao Ruoxuan sighed, "If I didn't dare to do this."

"What's this?"

"But it won't last long. If I'm not wrong, my parents should have discovered this." Speaking of this, Li Li turned her head and continued to urge: "Where is the place you mentioned? I haven't arrived after walking for so long .”

"Hurry up, hurry up, right in front."

Zhao Ruoxuan took Li Li and turned another corner in the alley, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, soaking the girl's shoulders.

Li Li felt a little uncomfortable as he walked forward and the light became dimmer.

Can't help but ask: "What is this place? It's pitch black."

"It wasn't like this before. It seems that the street lights are broken. If you hold on for a while, you will be there soon." Zhao Ruoxuan explained with a smile.

In the end, she took Li Li to stop in front of a diamond-shaped shop with a faint yellow light. Just looking at the exterior, she couldn't tell what was going on inside. Li Li raised her head and opened her eyes wide to see the words on the signboard. A letter with peeling paint, which is not clear, followed by a barely recognizable word "吧".

Li Li frowned and took a step back, "Is this a bar?"

Seeing Zhao Ruoxuan nodding, she took another step back, "Then I won't go in."

"Why?" Zhao Ruoxuan was a little puzzled, Li Li was not a good girl in the traditional sense, and she dared to do many more things than her.

"I heard that bars are full of bad-hearted men who are noisy, so I won't go." Li Li said with her eyes closed, feeling a little distressed.

Thinking about where else would she go if she didn't go home, did she go to stay in a hotel again?

Zhao Ruoxuan smiled reassuringly after hearing the reason for her refusal, and warmly took her hand, "Don't worry, there are no stinky men in it, only good-looking young ladies, and...the person I like should be in there too."

"...someone you like?"

Li Li came to his senses all of a sudden, and asked in surprise, "Is the one you like...a girl?"

What was outrageous was that she saw Zhao Ruoxuan nodding her head sincerely. Even in the dim light, she could still imagine her flushed cheeks when she was shy.

Li Li broke away from her hand, feeling a little awkward, "Do you still remember that today is my birthday, did you agree to come with me, and you actually dragged me to meet your sweetheart?"

Zhao Ruoxuan took her arm again, and said embarrassingly: "It's the place you said you wanted to hide, I only thought of this place."

"Then do you still remember the college entrance examination tomorrow?" Li Li scolded her: "Love is a big deal."

Zhao Ruoxuan responded weakly: "I was going home, but you dragged me to accompany you to celebrate your birthday, and you know that the college entrance examination is tomorrow, so why don't you run away from home?"

"..."

Li Li, who wanted to educate others, was poked at a sore spot, so she shut up honestly and stared at Zhao Ruoxuan.

At this moment, two tall young women came from the night. When they approached them, their eyes stayed on them for a moment, and one of them said, "Two little sisters, please make room."

The laughing voice reveals a bit of careless teasing.

For some reason, Li Li suddenly stiffened like a statue, and she subconsciously squeezed the strap of her schoolbag tightly. She could feel that another woman who didn't speak looked at her for a while, and Zhao Ruoxuan hurriedly pulled her to the side and hid behind her. Behind him said: "I'm sorry, please come in."

After the two women went in, Zhao Ruoxuan still hid behind Li Li, holding Li Li's school uniform jacket with both hands, seeming very nervous.

"People have gone in." Li Li reminded her after she came back slowly, she couldn't figure out why she had that reaction just now, and she didn't understand why Zhao Ruoxuan was nervous just now, she only realized it after seeing Zhao Ruoxuan's delay in making a move.

She asked uncertainly: "Is there someone you like among the people who just walked in?"

"…Um."

"The one who spoke or the one who didn't?"

"...I said it." Zhao Ruoxuan's voice was thin and weak, and she was finally willing to let go of Li Li's school uniform when she said this.

Li Li stretched her hand around her back to smooth out the folds of her school uniform, feeling a little headache, I really don't know how Zhao Ruoxuan did it so daringly and cowardly.

Sighing, she grabbed Zhao Ruoxuan's sleeve, "Don't you want to see your sweetheart, I'll accompany you in."

"Thank you, Li Li!"

Seeing that Li Li finally agreed to go in together, Zhao Ruoxuan happily reached out to hug Li Li, "Beauty Tie Tie."

Li Li hid to the side, turned her face away and said: "If you have the ability, hug your sweetheart."

"People don't have the guts yet."

"I don't think you have either, otherwise how could you pull me to dare to come."

"Yes, Li Li, you are so kind, you love me! Oh no, I love you!" Zhao Ruoxuan was always very stupid when thanking her.

I couldn't move my legs when I went in.

Li Li dragged her in almost abruptly. The receptionist, who was playing with his mobile phone with his head down, looked up lazily, spotted the school uniforms on them, and immediately became serious, "Please show your ID card."

When the two of them pulled off one schoolbag strap and opened the zipper of the small compartment to get their documents, the high school student's attire attracted a lot of attention behind them.

Li Li is extremely sensitive to sight, and doesn't like people staring at her all the time. She turned around and stared back before touching her ID card. Her gaze happened to meet a pair of beautiful eyes without warmth, which were faintly glowing under the dim light of the bar. Light, seems to be more indifferent than her, but somehow reveals a sense of heaviness.

Some contradictions, like the bottomless deep sea.

In the past, it was Li Li who stared at others to look away, but this time she took the initiative to look away.

After being looked at by those eyes, the sullenness in her heart miraculously dissipated, and she didn't want to argue with others. She turned around, lowered her head and found the ID card and handed it to the front desk for inspection.

Zhao Ruoxuan is already an adult, and Li Li will only turn 18 after today, but her ID card registration error is one year older than her real age.

The front desk looked carefully at the two ID cards, and said after a while: "Go in, little sister, remember to go home early."

Li Li took back her ID card from the front desk, and said nothing, she didn't want to go home at all, and it was almost common for her to run away from home, and she stayed in a hotel when she didn't want to go home.

Zhao Ruoxuan also took back her ID card, and dragged Li Li to a corner where two people sat down.

As Zhao Ruoxuan said, there are really only young ladies in this bar, and it's not noisy. The music played is relatively soft, so she can stay.

It's just that she didn't understand why they were sitting in the corner, so far away from the sweetheart, Zhao Ruoxuan couldn't even see the face of the sweetheart clearly.

"What would you like to drink?" A waiter came over and asked.

Zhao Ruoxuan said, "Two glasses of lemonade, thank you."

Li Li piled her schoolbags on the table, after thinking for a while, she took out her mobile phone from her schoolbag and turned it on. As expected, her parents called her a lot, and even sent her a series of text messages on WeChat.

Dad: Baby girl, dad bought the mousse petal cake you ordered a few days ago, come back for your birthday, where are you, dad will pick you up.

Mom: Ah Li, don't scare mom, come back and tell mom and dad if you have something to do, you can't solve the problem by yourself outside, come back soon, mom made your favorite corn rib soup, the college entrance examination is coming tomorrow, Don't make fun of such big things.

Even Lao Zhang, the class teacher, got involved.

Old Ban Zhang: Li Li, listen to the teacher and go home quickly. You will come to the college entrance examination tomorrow. You must not be willful in such a big matter, otherwise the teacher... I will really vomit blood.

Through the phone screen, Li Li could already think of Teacher Zhang's sparse hair and headache expression. Perhaps, the conflict between her and her parents should not affect Lao Zhang.

When the lemonade came, Zhao Ruoxuan pushed a cup in front of Li Li, and seeing her staring at the phone indifferently, she quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

Li Li turned the phone over and asked Zhao Ruoxuan to look at it for herself. Zhao Ruoxuan was not surprised after reading it, but felt a little sympathetic to Teacher Zhang.

"Li Li, you must be the most powerless exception in Teacher Zhang's career."

Li Li, who was biting a straw and drinking lemonade, did not deny that in terms of grades, she was the kind of good student that the teacher would put on top of her heart, but in terms of obedience, she was indeed the group that caused the teacher the most headaches.

"Are you really not going back tonight?" Zhao Ruoxuan was also a little worried. As Li Li's best friend, she knew how willful Li Li was.

He took the initiative to propose: "Tomorrow is the college entrance examination after all, why don't you go back to my house tonight, we will go to the examination room together tomorrow, and you can tell your uncles and aunts first to reassure them?"

"No."

"Then you will take the college entrance examination tomorrow, Li Li, we agreed to apply to the same university."

"do not know."

Li Li looked at the lemonade with tiny bubbles in front of her eyes, and thought of the few report cards in black and white that she happened to see in her parents' room before going out this morning.

On the opposite side, Zhao Ruoxuan was still happily persuading her, Li Li was so annoyed that she simply turned her head and looked back.

Will be good to meet a pair of beautiful eyes without waves, soft and calm like stagnant water.

No temperature, no life.

It was still the woman who stood beside the woman Zhao Ruoxuan liked and didn't speak.
