Night Labyrinth

"Ah."

Without any hesitation, I immediately agreed.

I think what He Lin will say next is tens of thousands of times more important than all the words we have said before.

It is something that requires me to seriously remember every word, every syllable, and every subtle expression of her.

It's something she might only tell me once in her life.

This time she said without any hesitation, "Actually, my family is not happy. My dad is an alcoholic. He beats people when he's drunk, beats my mother, beats me, and chases and beats people all over the room. "

My heart began to quiver, and my lips trembled.

The plots that often appear in these novels actually happened in He Lin's life.

Something is shaking my heart.

"My mother is very beautiful. She has good hands and can knit sweaters for me. She can also write, which is just like you." He Lin smiled, "I think she is the most beautiful woman in the world."

"I still remember how hard it was for my mother to take me alone when I was a child. She was still working when she was pregnant, and she had to do chores to subsidize the family. When I grew up, I thought, I must not let her be bullied again. "

I pressed the hat with one hand, and tried to see He Lin's expression against the wind, but she was facing me sideways, and the expression on her face was swallowed by the night, so I couldn't see clearly.

"But my grandma's house said that she has someone outside, so she has always been very bad to us. I remember when I was a child, once I went to my grandma's house to play, and she just took a peach and stuffed it for me. It was about to rot." He Lin's voice cooled down.

That's ridiculous, is this my "like"?

It's not that He Lin is not qualified to like others, but that I am not qualified to like her.

Obviously I don't know anything about her.

do not know anything.

do not know anything.

I dare say I like her.

I feel bad that I should say that I love her.

"When I was in middle school, I had a bad temper. Once I was eating at my grandma's house, and I overturned the table while eating. But it got better later, and I won't be so impulsive anymore."

Is this why she has been polite and distant to people?

Is this why she kept a safe distance from others?

And she was able to tell me this, is our relationship finally closer than others?

No, the closeness at this moment is only for the further alienation in the next moment.

"My dad beats people very hard. Once, when I was in the third year of high school, I was reviewing in the room. He rushed in suddenly with a kitchen knife. I took a dictionary to block it, which was the kind of thick English-Chinese dictionary. Cut off a piece. If my mother didn't stop me, he could really hack me to death."

I looked up at her in shock. I was passing by a street lamp at the moment. Under the light, I saw the coldness in her eyes.

It's not an adjective, it's not an exaggeration, but there is really a cold ice in the depth of the pupil.

Her eyes glanced at me and looked into the distance. I saw the unconcealable chill in her eyes, as if I was once again caught in painful memories.

The wind outside was getting stronger and stronger, and the temperature was very low, but it was not as cold as the frightening coldness in her eyes.

I seemed to be frozen by her eyes. At this time, we just walked to the downstairs of their senior dormitory, and we stopped.

I just stared at her without moving.

At that moment, my heart was very painful, not for myself, but for her. This is the first time that I will feel so sad for someone.

Heartbroken to the point of tears.

"Later my dad threw my textbooks down the stairs, and the papers were scattered all over the floor. It just rained the day before yesterday, and they were all wet."

"What about now? Now... is he still treating you like that?" I couldn't help asking.

"It's gone now, I just don't talk much when I get home." He Lin's eyes returned to the calm look before, as if the coldness just now was my illusion.

"Then you hate him?" I asked hesitantly.

"I hated it when I was young, but I won't when I grow up." He Lin smiled slightly, "But the scar is still there after the injury is healed, you understand?"

I seemed to understand but half understood, but I tried my best to look like I understood and nodded.

"So I don't plan to fall in love. I just want a family and live a good life. I don't need anything else."

He Lin made a concluding speech for all this with a voice like the night wind.

Gently, my death sentence was pronounced.

At that moment I understood everything, what separated us was not gender, not family, not even love or not love, but she locked a heart into a maze, I couldn't find the way in, she hid inside and refused come out.
