The room was instantly so quiet that you could hear a needle drop.
Fang Bai looked straight at Ji Yuning's gaze on her, without any intention of avoiding it, his gaze was so clear that Ji Yuning saw her reflection in Fang Bai's eyes.
The same goes for Fang Bai.
When Fang Bai saw the sneer flashing in Ji Yuning's eyes, Fang Bai knew that what she said was like telling a joke to Ji Yuning, but she had no choice but to say it cheekily.
If these words are not spoken out clearly, Ji Yuning, who lives in hatred, will never notice her change.
Originally, Fang Bai had already made up his mind and waited for a suitable time to talk about it.
But today's unexpected situation directly interrupted Fang Bai's plan, and she could only ask at this, which she thought was not a good time.
Although Fang Bai had already expected the result, seeing Ji Yuning looking at her as if he was watching a clown walk a tightrope, every movement was ridiculous, a trace of resentment rose in Fang Bai's heart.
The tip of his tongue brushed the palate, Fang Bai lowered his eyes slightly, "You don't need to answer my question for now."
Watched by Ji Yuning mockingly, Fang Bai's eyes gradually drifted away.But the tone of the speech was firm: "I know this is very unfair to you. I am the one who hurt you, and I am the one who asks you to forgive me. I just want to tell you that from now on, what I did to you before I won't do all kinds of things again, I will try my best to make up for the harm I caused you, you—"
Ji Yuning couldn't take it anymore, although the painkillers worked, they couldn't suppress the dull pain in her heart.
Ji Yuning didn't know what was going on, it was obvious that everything about Fang Bai had long been numb, but when he heard the words slowly spoken by the person in front of him, that beating organ was awakened from the dusty memory that had been buried for a long time.
Every piece comes from the person in front of me.
Ji Yuning called lightly: "Fang Bai."
His voice was low, but his tone was as cold as ice.
Fang Bai was stunned.
This was the first time she heard Ji Yuning call her by her full name.
I have to admit that she was intimidated by the momentum in Ji Yuning's tone.
…although only for three seconds.
Fang Bai quickly realized, her lips raised stiffly, "Why?"
In this situation, Fang Bai forgot to correct Ji Yuning's address, he just wanted to know why Ji Yuning called her by her full name.
Ji Yuning's tone showed no emotional ups and downs, she asked lightly: "Have you played enough?"
Fang Bai was puzzled, and subconsciously asked, "What are you playing?"
Ji Yuning's eyes darkened, admiring Fang Bai's acting skills in her heart, she didn't know whether to praise her for her poor performance or her excellent acting.
He was so clumsy that he could see her sudden change at a glance, the undisguised gesture of favor and the incomparably sincere acceptance just now, it was like a different person, and he was very kind to her.
Acting so well that I almost fell into her gentle seduction for a second, indulging in the fortress of family love that she worked so hard to build.
let her too,
Almost lost this game.
Ji Yuning's black eyes suddenly changed, and the hostility in her eyes was wiped away in an instant. She lowered her eyes, with a smile on her lips, and said in a low voice, "It's nothing."
She will not lose.
"dong dong"
The knock on the door broke the weird atmosphere between the two.
Wu Mei's voice came into the room after knocking on the door, "Miss, are you in?"
Fang Bai put Ji Yuning's strange change of attitude aside, looked sideways at the door, and replied softly: "Yes, what's the matter?"
The door was ajar, Wu Mei thought about it and pushed the door open a bit.
When she opened the door, she saw Fang Bai sitting beside Ji Yuning's bed. Wu Mei was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Master called and asked why you haven't answered his calls."
She didn't bring her mobile phone with her, so she couldn't receive the call.
Fang Bai said, "I see, I'll call him back later."
"Okay." Wu Mei didn't leave, she asked, "Miss, are you okay? I just saw you looking through the medicine box."
Fang Bai shook his head: "It's okay, Xiao Ning has a stomachache, I found her painkillers."
After hearing this, Wu Mei looked at Ji Yuning: "Then Xiao Ji is alright?"
Ji Yuning hummed, "It's okay, Aunt Wu."
"That's good."
Wu Mei was relieved, and her gaze swept between Fang Bai and Ji Yuning. It was obvious that the relationship between Miss and Xiao Ji had improved a lot.
Wu Mei smiled in her heart, and her facial features melted kindly. She said to Fang Bai, "Miss, I'm going downstairs first, so I won't disturb you talking to Xiao Ji."
"En." Fang Bai said, "Okay."
Ji Yuning: "."
Before Wu Mei left, she closed the door behind her.
The tightly closed doors and windows made the air circulation in the room slow. Both of them had already bathed, and the aroma of shower gel lingered around.
Wu Mei's sudden appearance disrupted Fang Bai's thoughts. Fang Bai tidied up a bit and said, "You must be wondering why I suddenly treat you well."
Ji Yuning curled her hands on the quilt, "Yes."
Fang Bai's eyelashes trembled, "Last time when Liao Li came to treat you, he asked me if you were not afraid that Lu Xia would come to me after treating you like this? After that day, I thought that when Lu Xia sent you to my house, I had promised her I want to take good care of you, but now I have failed her expectations and broken my promise."
Although the original owner did not make a promise to Lu Xia, the original owner only promised that Lu Xia would raise Ji Yuning, but he did not say that he would treat her well.
"If you don't believe the few explanations I gave you before, then you just think that I changed my previous attitude towards you because I was afraid of retribution. Of course, this is just a reason I found for you, believe me. "
Ji Yuning paused, and said, "Believe it or not, I misunderstood Aunt Fang."
Fang Bai nodded, she had already said what she had to say, whether Ji Yuning believed it or not was beyond her control, and she had no excuse not to stay.
The important thing is that if Fang Bai doesn't leave, he will be frozen to death.
There is no need to turn on the air conditioner in the room, Ji Yuning's coldness is enough to cool down.
Fang Bai stood up, smiled sweetly, and said, "It's getting late, you should rest."
Ji Yuning: "Yes."
Fang Bai took two steps closer, put his hand on the top of Ji Yuning's head, and rubbed it, "Good night."
Thinking that Ji Yuning would not reply to her, Fang Bai didn't stop, removed his hand from Ji Yuning's head, turned and left the room.
The moment the door closed, Fang Bai crossed his arms, rubbed the cold goose bumps on his arms, and went downstairs lightly.
The next day.
Ji Yuning kept her school habit, getting up at six o'clock.
After washing up, Ji Yuning went back to her room to make up for the homework that she didn't finish last night because of her stomachache, and then she recited vocabulary for a while.
Ji Yuning didn't go downstairs until eight o'clock.
On the first floor, Wu Mei happened to bring out breakfast from the kitchen and put it on the dining table. When she saw Ji Yuning, Wu Mei smiled and asked, "Xiao Ji, are you awake? Does your stomach still hurt?"
"It's ready," Ji Yuning stepped forward and asked, "Do you need my help?"
"No, I've done it all."
Wu Mei remembered one thing while talking, she looked up at Ji Yuning, and said: "Miss hasn't woken up yet, would you like to help me go upstairs and ask Miss to come down for dinner?"
"..." Dig a hole and jump by yourself.
Facing Wu Mei's requesting gaze, Ji Yuning could only say: "Yes."
When going upstairs, the conversation from last night resurfaced in Ji Yuning's mind again, lingering.
Standing in front of Fang Bai's bedroom, Ji Yuning knocked twice on the off-white door.
Then Fang Bai's voice sounded: "Come in."
Ji Yuning didn't move, but said in a voice that people inside could hear through the door: "It's time to eat."
A woman's suspicious voice came from inside the door: "Xiao Ning?"
Ji Yuning turned around to leave, but just as she made a movement, there was a "click", and the closed door was pulled open from the inside.
Fang Bai looked at Ji Yuning's ponytail, the curled ends of her hair were completely incompatible with Ji Yuning's playfulness and cuteness, Fang Bai's heart softened, "Don't go, just come in."
Maybe it was just waking up, Fang Bai's tone was lazy, and every word he said had a trailing sound, as if he was... acting like a baby.
Ji Yuning declined to comment on this knowledge that emerged.
Ji Yuning paused in place, looking back at Fang Fangbai's sleepy eyes.
Knowing that Ji Yuning would not listen to her, Fang Bai could only say, "I have something to tell you."
After finishing speaking, Fang Baila opened the door, regardless of whether Ji Yuning could enter or not, she went back into the house by herself.
Ji Yuning hesitated for a moment, then walked into Fang Bai's bedroom.
Different from the pink walls in her room, the inside of Fangbai's room is beige, comfortable and peaceful, and the cabinets and other objects in the room are also plain.
The only bright color in Fang Bai's room might be the royal blue pajamas she was wearing.
It is abrupt but does not conflict, but the strong sense of color difference is more attractive.
Fang Bai turned directly into the bathroom. She had just brushed her teeth and was about to wash her face.
When looking in the mirror, Fang Bai noticed that Ji Yuning had entered the room, and she asked, "Does your stomach still hurt?"
Ji Yuning: "No."
Fang Bai snorted: "I forgot to ask you yesterday, does it hurt every time you come here or once in a while?"
Ji Yuning: "Occasionally."
"I see." Fang Bai turned on the faucet and began to wash his hands, "Last night when I came back from your room, Liao Li called, but I didn't go upstairs to look for you because I was afraid of disturbing your rest. After she knew the reason, she called Said that when she came back, I would take you to the hospital for an examination."
"There's nothing to check." Ji Yuning refused.
Fang Bai said softly: "Not only to check this problem, Liao Li will give you a full body check."
Fang Bai also thought in his heart that he should give Ji Yuning a physical examination, so that she would know how to make up for Ji Yuning in the future.
Fang Bai leaned over, touched his face twice with clean water, then picked up facial cleanser and squeezed it on his hand, "Don't resist, Liao Li, can you still trust me?"
Those are the only few people in the book who treat Ji Yuning well.
Suddenly, Fang Bai's movements of rubbing the facial cleanser slowed down. Liao Li is so kind to Ji Yuning, if she doesn't let Ji Yuning contact Liao Li, wouldn't it be too good?
Thinking of this, Fang Bai looked at the person standing at the bathroom door from the mirror, and asked, "Do you want to add her on WeChat? I can... push you there."
Ji Yuning: "...No need."
"Huh?" Fang Bai turned his eyes in surprise, "Why? I thought you would agree, after all, every time you two chat, I feel that you are very happy."
Because Liao Li would say something about Lu Xia every time.
Three years is neither long nor short, but the memory of Lu Xia has become blurred since then, and Lu Xia in her mind is becoming less and less clear. Only when Ji Yuning sees pictures of Lu Xia occasionally or dreams in dreams, Ji Yuning will be clear Only by seeing Lu Xia can we embrace Lu Xia for a short time.
Putting away her thoughts, Ji Yuning said indifferently: "I'm going downstairs first."
"Wait a minute." Fang Bai stopped, "I'll be fine soon."
Ji Yuning raised her eyes, and saw Fang Bai rubbing her face with hands full of facial cleanser.
The approach was hasty, without any tenderness.
Seems to be in a rush for something...
Duan Ran didn't want to go downstairs with her, Ji Yuning thought.
Two minutes later, Fang Bai and Ji Yuning walked down the stairs one after the other.
Fang Bai squatted on the slippers, and there was a slight friction sound between the soles of the shoes and the step surface, which broke the awkward atmosphere between Fang Bai and Ji Yuning.
After going downstairs, Fang Bai looked at the breakfast set on the dining table, and sat on the chair, she couldn't help the message Liao Li sent her last night...
Fang Bai was silent, "After breakfast, I'll take you somewhere."
Ji Yuning looked at Fang Bai, "I have something to do."
"Is it important? Can you push it?"
Ji Yuning: "No."
"Alright then." Fang Bai coughed lightly, "Actually, tomorrow is fine too. Do you have anything to do tomorrow?"
Ji Yuning didn't know what Fang wanted to drag her to do, but she still said truthfully: "No."
Fang Bai nodded: "Then I will take you there tomorrow."
Ji Yuning: "Yes."
"Do you need Uncle Li to send you?"
Fang Bai asked if Ji Yuning needed to go out for a while.
Ji Yuning swallowed the porridge in her mouth and refused, "I'll take the bus."
Fang Bai didn't insist, and raised his eyebrows: "Okay."
Ji Yuning went out at 08:30 and didn't come home until three in the afternoon.
Fang Bai also experienced the feeling of raising a cub on this day.
When eating lunch, I can't help thinking about whether Ji Yuning ate or not, what she ate, and sending a message to Ji Yuning to ask when she will be home, and worrying about accidents after waiting for a long time...
But after thinking that Ji Yuning is the heroine, this worry is relieved.
After scanning the plot line, Fang Bai quickly understood what Ji Yuning was doing.
According to the plot, Ji Yuning should have gotten in touch with that person at this time, and began to paint her blueprint.
When Ji Yuning came home, she thought that Fang Bai would ask what she had done, but when she entered the living room, she saw Fang Bai lazily leaning on the sofa, with a strange woman sitting next to her, who half held Fang Bai's hand, She lowered her head and applied nail polish.
Hearing the movement, Fang Bai opened her closed eyes. Seeing that it was Ji Yuning, she bent her eyes and asked, "Are you back?"
Ji Yuning: "Yes."
Fang Bai: "I'm doing nail art—"
Fang Bai suddenly stopped.
After figuring out what Ji Yuning was going to do, Fang Bai no longer worried about Ji Yuning, but was worried about her in the future.
Living in the present, she can't always worry about the misery two years later, the most important thing is to learn to enjoy.
So she called the manicurist that the original owner usually used.
He didn't expect to be bumped into by Ji Yuning.
For some reason, Fang Bai felt guilty for a second.
There is a weird feeling of "I am working hard to make money outside, but you are spending money recklessly".
Although she knew that the original owner's money was spent, this feeling was still very obvious.
Fang Bai swallowed, lowered his voice and asked, "Do you want to go together?"
To cover up her guilty conscience, she wanted to take Ji Yuning to enjoy it together.
Ji Yuning looked at the big box next to the manicurist, which was full of bottles and jars.
Ji Yuning was not interested in this: "The school doesn't allow it."
Fang Bai immediately responded with regret and said, "Then we can finish it during the summer vacation."
Fang Bai motioned to the manicurist, sat up, "Have you eaten yet? Sister Wu left it for you."
Ji Yuning hummed and said, "I'm going upstairs."
Fang Bai blinked: "...OK."
An afternoon passed like this.
In the evening, Fang Bai knocked on Ji Yuning's door with a glass of milk as usual.
After three breaths, the door was opened from the inside.
Seeing that it was Fang Bai, Ji Yuning turned sideways.
Seeing this, Fang Bai smiled, "I'm afraid it will disturb your study, so I won't go in."
After hearing this, Ji Yuning turned back to her body, holding the doorknob in her hand, waiting to close the door at any time.
Fang Bai stretched out his arm, and handed the things in his hand to Ji Yuning: "Here is milk."
Ji Yuning lowered her eyes and took it.
Fang Bai handed the things in the other hand to Ji Yuning, "I also brought you medicine, if the pain is severe, take one, or call me, don't carry it."
Ji Yuning took it again after hesitating, "Thank you."
"you are welcome."
Fang Bai's hand in mid-air did not fall, but raised it high, and put it flat on Ji Yuning's forehead, the white rhinestones on the fingernails shone under the light.
After stopping, Fang Bai slowly moved his hand towards himself, made a comparison and said, "I don't know if it's my illusion, but I always feel that you are taller."
The result of the comparison is that the two are equal.
Fang Bai put down his hands, put his hands behind his back, and said slowly: "It seems that this is really my illusion."
Ji Yuning, who saw Fang Bai raised his hand upwards: "."
Even the slight banter when the woman spoke was caught by her eyes.
Fang Bai didn't realize that her behavior was discovered by Ji Yuning, she said: "Go to bed early tonight, and I will take you out tomorrow."
As Fang Bai spoke, he habitually raised his hand, rubbed the top of Ji Yuning's hair twice, and said, "I'm going to bed too, good night."
The top of her head was rubbed by Fang Bai many times, and Ji Yuning was treated like an animal by Fang Bai, a cute pet that was harmless to her.
Ji Yuning wanted to avoid Fang Bai's hand, but every time the woman would put her hand on top of her head when she was not paying attention, she couldn't dodge it.
Fang Bai was curious, Ji Yuning obviously had a face, but she could see Ji Yuning's hidden expression.
Just like now, Fang Bai sensed Ji Yuning's expressionless face, the contradiction between wanting to resist but unable to resist.
Fang Bai couldn't help wiping his smile, and withdrew his hand, "Drink the milk while it's hot, and I'll take the cup down by the way."
Without Fang Bai's hand on top of her head, Ji Yuning's tense nerves relaxed. According to what Fang Bai said, she would leave after drinking the milk, so Ji Yuning just stared at the milk, then raised her head and drank it.
Fang Bai folded his arms around his chest, instead of picking up the empty cup in Ji Yuning's hand, he asked teasingly with a smile, "You want me to leave so much? How about I come into your room and sit?"
Fang Bai kept staring at Ji Yuning's face while speaking, and no accident, she saw a flash of micro-expression on Ji Yuning's bland face.
is disgust.
But soon, the trace of disgust disappeared and pretended to be obedient.
Gee.
How did you not know that Ji Yuning had such a rich expression before?
Pretty fun.
When Fang Bai saw what he wanted to see, he didn't intend to tease Ji Yuning any more. He reached for the cup and said, "I'm lying to you."
After speaking, he turned and left the door of the room.
Ji Yuning was stunned, and stood motionless on the spot.
She was played by Fang Bai just now, right?
Sunday.
After dinner, Fang Bai drove Ji Yuning out of the villa at eight o'clock in the morning.
There were many and heavy clouds in the sky, covering the sky and blocking out the sun. Without the light of the sun, the ground was gloomy.
The car drove out of the villa area and arrived in front of a flower shop ten minutes later.
Seeing the car parked at the flower shop, Ji Yuning suddenly guessed Fang Bai's intentions, but she was not sure.
But in the next second, what Fang Bai said confirmed Ji Yuning's conjecture.
Fang Bai asked her: "Do you still remember what flowers your mother likes?"
really.
I want to buy flowers for my mother.
Ji Yuning looked out the window, even though her mother's face was blurred in her memory, she remembered all her mother's preferences clearly and would never forget them.
Fang Bai unbuckled his seat belt, "I'm going in to buy a bunch of flowers, and you should come along."
Ji Yuning turned her head, she stared at Fang Bai, and asked, "Are you...going?"
Fang Bai: "Yes."
Fang Bai: "Monday is your mother's death day, but you have to go to school. I wanted to bring you here yesterday, but you have something to do...you can do it today."
The day before yesterday, besides asking about Ji Yuning, Liao Li also mentioned that next Monday would be the anniversary of Lu Xia's death, and asked her if she would go.
The original owner never swept the offering.
Fang Bai felt that it was necessary for her to pay homage.
It's not an apology for the original owner, nor is it a promise to Lu Xia, it's just the... behavior that Ji Yuning's guardian should have.
Regarding Lu Xia, Ji Yuning could no longer pretend, she lowered her eyes and asked, "Are you worthy?"
Ji Yuning's tone was not aggressive, she just asked this sentence indifferently.
But precisely because of this, the three words have the impact of directly hitting Fang Bai's heart and unveiling the veil of hypocrisy, like being despised as an ant, and everything Fang Bai has to do seems to be a joke.
Fang Bai said: "...Lu Xia is my friend."
Fang Bai felt that she should pretend to be angry, so he used some force when closing the door.
At the same time as there was a bang, Ji Yuning's low smile entered Fang Bai's ears.
"Ah."
What a sarcasm, my friend.
There was too much in this laugh, Fang Bai pretended not to hear it.
Fang Bai wasn't really angry, Ji Yuning was talking about the original owner and not her, she was just acting angry from the perspective of the original owner who "wanted to get better".
But what caught Fang Bai's attention was Ji Yuning's tone of voice, which was exactly the same as the night before.
When Ji Yuning got off the car, Fang Bai walked up to her, "Kids, don't talk to me in that tone from now on."
Fang Bai felt that it wasn't enough, and added a threat: "Next time, I will call... deduct your pocket money."
After speaking, Fang Bai turned around and walked into the flower shop, leaving Ji Yuning behind.
"... "
Lakeside Cemetery.
The car is parked on the side of the road.
After getting off the car, Fang Bai took out the flowers she bought from the back seat, looked up, and saw Ji Yuning getting off the passenger car with the flowers in her arms.
Two bunches of the same sunflower represent the sun, full of brilliance and vitality.
Looking at each other, Ji Yuning took the lead to look away, and walked towards the cemetery in silence.
When Lu Xia was buried, the original owner did not show up, which caused Fang Bai to not know where Lu Xia's tomb was.
So at this moment, Fang Bai trailed behind Ji Yuning quietly, saying that one second he was Lu Xia's friend, but the next second he didn't even know where Lu Xia's tomb was. Fang Bai also found it ironic.
Ji Yuning caught a glimpse of Fang Bai's behavior from the corner of her eye, but she didn't expose it.
Ji Yuning never thought about Fang Bai bringing her to the cemetery, and his doubts about this matter have already covered up Fang Bai's ridiculous behavior at the moment.
Ji Yuning was thinking about Fang Bai's purpose for doing this.
Is it to make her believe the theory of retribution that night?Make her believe it completely?
But didn't Fang Bai say that that was just a reason for her to trust?
"?"
Ji Yuning was suddenly in a trance, because she found...
She actually believed Fang Bai's words?
Seeing Ji Yuning stop, Fang Bai thought he had already arrived, but looking around, he didn't find Lu Xia's name.
Fang Bai asked aloud, "What's wrong?"
Ji Yuning temporarily hid her surprise and recovered, "It's okay."
1 minute later.
Ji Yuning stood in front of a tombstone, and Fang Bai followed her, looking at the word Lu Xia on the tombstone, looking at the woman in the photo, with a smile on her lips, looking extremely gentle.
Lu Xia is a good person, he was kind all his life, but he loved the wrong person and ruined himself.
When reading the text, Fang Bai always had a regret for Lu Xia.
It's a pity that she has a cheerful personality, and it's a pity that she has an impermanent life.
Below the tombstone, there are two bunches of flowers that are not very fresh, one is sunflowers, and the other is perfume lilies.
Both seem like yesterday...
Fang Bai pretended to look at Ji Yuning casually, and had a guess about what Ji Yuning did when he went out yesterday.
If Ji Yuning came here yesterday, who gave the extra bunch?Looking at the packaging, it was from the same flower shop, and Ji Yuning came with someone else.
There is a high probability that the bunch of sunflowers belongs to Ji Yuning. As for the perfume lily, it seems that the people in the company don't know Lu Xia well.
The two stood silently in front of the tombstone, each with their own thoughts, and neither of them spoke.
I don't know how long after, the wind blew, and Ji Yuning's muffled voice came to Fang Bai's ear with the wind, "It's ok."
Fang Bai pushed the blown hair behind his ears, and said softly, "Then let's go."
Fang Bai was wearing a skirt that swayed in the wind.
A person came from a distance.
Liao Li looked at the person standing in front of Lu Xia's tombstone, and exclaimed in surprise, "Fang Bai?"
Fang Bai followed the sound and saw Liao Li walking towards them with a bunch of sunflowers.
Looking at Fang Bai briefly, Liao Li's eyes locked on Ji Yuning, her voice lowered unconsciously, "Yu Ning."
Ji Yuning glanced at the flowers in Liao Li's arms, and called, "Aunt Liao."
Liao Li walked up to Ji Yuning with a smile, raised his hand and patted Ji Yuning's shoulder, "I'll go say hello to your mother first."
Receiving Ji Yuning's nod in response, Liao Li turned his head to look at Fang Bai, with no smile on his face, and said to Fang Bai coldly, "Wait for me to go together."
Fang Bai: "..."
Liao Li has practiced face changing, right? !
Five minutes later, the three of them walked side by side on the way down the mountain.
Fang Bai thought about the message Liao Li sent her the day before yesterday, and asked, "Didn't you say you'll be back next week?"
Liao Li had a bag on his shoulder, "I came back from leave."
After hearing this, Fang Bai sighed Liao Li's affection for Lu Xia, "Just got off the plane?"
Liao Li: "Yes."
Liao Li remembered what he saw just now, and asked, "Who else came? I saw two more flowers."
Ji Yuning couldn't help but hold the hand hanging by her leg.
Fang Bai looked into the distance, "Lu Xia is not just our two friends."
Also.
Liao Li continued to ask, "Why are you here today?"
She remembered telling Fang Bai that it was Monday.
Fang Bai still remembered that Liao Li was fierce to her just now, and asked back, "Aren't you too?"
Liao Li snorted coldly, and explained: "I have a few surgeries starting tomorrow, and I really don't have time, so I can only take Sunday off."
Fang Bai snorted: "Tomorrow Monday, Xiao Ning will go to school."
Speaking of Ji Yuning, Liao Li turned his head to look at Ji Yuning, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for three years, Yu Ning is almost as tall as me."
Fang Bai answered subconsciously: "If you take off your high heels, you may be average height."
Liao Li's smile froze, she turned her head and said, "You are the only one who can talk?"
Fang Bai: "..."
She wanted to say that it was due to the instinct of the original owner's memory control, would Liao Li believe it?
After the little quarrel, the surroundings of the three returned to silence.
Liao Li waited for a while, and when he was about to reach the foot of the mountain, he said directly to Fang Bai: "I want to have a private chat with Yu Ning."
Fang Bai refused without thinking, "No."
Liao Li: "Why not?"
Of course, I was afraid that you would abduct Ji Yuning away.
The corners of Fang Bai's lips curled up, "Is there anything I can't hear?"
"It's nothing, it's just that I want to have a private chat with Yu Ning, and it's a bit unpleasant to be around you." Liao Li put his arms around his chest and taunted mercilessly.
Fang Bai was indifferent.
Liao Li waited and saw that Fang Bai had no intention of leaving, so he said, "What I said last time, I—"
Liao Li paused deliberately.
Fang Bai breathed out, turned to Ji Yuning and said, "...I'll wait for you at the car."
Ji Yuning's gaze stayed on Liao Li for a second, and she nodded, "Yes."
Fang Bai walked towards the car alone, while Liao Li and Ji Yuning stood opposite each other.
When Fang Bai was gone, Liao Li asked, "Yu Ning, how has Fang Bai treated you these two weeks? Has she... bullied you again?"
Ji Yuning said truthfully, "No."
Liao Li breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
Ji Yuning didn't have too complicated feelings for Liao Li, and when she was talking to Liao Li, she didn't hold back that hatred any more, and asked in a calm tone, "Aunt Liao, what was the agreement you said just now?"
Liao Li guessed that Ji Yuning would ask, but just paused, without hiding it: "Last time when you had a fever, I found the scars on your body, and that's when I realized how she has treated you like this for the past three years..."
Liao Li met Shang Ji Yu Ning's eyes, "I'm sorry, I should have found out earlier, otherwise you would..."
Ji Yuning interrupted: "It's okay, Aunt Liao, you can continue."
Liao Li: "After I gave you the liquid, I told Fang Bai that I wanted to raise you, but Fang Bai refused."
Ji Yuning paused.
Liao Li continued, "Fang Bai said that she will always treat you well, and then I saw that what she said was true, and I was busy during this time, so I might not be able to take care of you, so I made an agreement with Fang Bai that I would treat you every weekend. Going to see you at home is to monitor whether she has complied with the agreement. The two times I called you, I just wanted to see if she had violated the agreement. "
"So..." Ji Yuning half-closed her eyelids, "The reason why she started being nice to me is because you want to support me?"
After hearing this, Liao Li said, "No."
Ji Yuning looked at Liao Li in surprise.
I don't understand why Liao Li would categorically say no.
Liao Li looked at the figure who had already walked down the mountain. His slender back was like a wicker that fluttered when blown.
Liao Li pursed his lips and said, "I know Fang Bai well. I can see that she was very nervous about you before I proposed to raise you. Maybe she regretted it before you had a fever."
Liao Li said: "Perhaps she wasn't keeping the agreement between us during this time, but she really regretted it, otherwise she wouldn't have the face to see Lu Xia."
Liao Li said: "Of course, Auntie is not trying to excuse Fang Bai. It is a fact that she abused you domestically. No matter how she treats you in the future, this matter will not be erased. Auntie can understand if you resent her or anything. In two years you will not be able to get rid of it." When you are an adult, you can choose to leave her side. If you have had enough of her one day in the past two years, you can come to Auntie."
Ji Yuning nodded: "Thank you, Aunt Liao."
"What's there to thank? I haven't done anything yet." Liao Li laughed, "That's all I want to say. Is there anything else you want to tell me? If not, let's go down the mountain."
Ji Yuning looked at the person leaning against the car, thinking that Liao Li could make Fang Bai obediently go down the mountain without finishing a sentence, raised her eyebrows and said, "She is very afraid of you."
Ji Yuning did not doubt, but said affirmatively.
Liao Li was startled for a moment, followed Ji Yuning's line of sight before realizing that she was referring to Fang Bai, "Is there any?"
Liao Li recalled the past, "It seems a little bit, when the three of us played together, she listened to me very much."
Ji Yuning's eyes flashed in thought.
Liao Li didn't care about this, she took out her mobile phone from her bag and handed it to Ji Yuning, "Do you have a mobile phone? Give me the number, and you can call me if you need anything."
Ji Yuning lowered her head.
Fang Bai asked her if she would add Liao Li, but she refused.
Now Liao Li took the initiative to add her, and she had no reason to refuse.
"Okay." Ji Yuning reached out to take it, entered her mobile phone number, and clicked to dial.
The first second the bell rang, Ji Yuning cut off the call, and then handed the phone back to Liao Li.
"Let's go, or she will lose her temper after waiting for a long time." Liao Li said after taking the phone.
Ji Yuning paused, then said, "Yes."
Just as Fang Bai tore open a lollipop, Liao Li and Ji Yuning came down from the mountain.
Looking at the candy in Fang Bai's hand, Liao Li asked, "Why did you start eating candy?"
Fang Bai held a candy stick between his fingers, and said like he was holding a cigarette, "Quit smoking."
"?" Liao Li was puzzled, "When did you start smoking?"
Liao Li didn't know?
Fang Bai searched for the memory of the original owner, and found that the original owner suddenly smoked cigarettes three years ago.
Fang Bai shrugged: "It's nothing, I quit."
Liao Li hummed, "I still have to catch a plane, so I'll leave first."
Fang Bai nodded.
Liao Li said a few more words to Ji Yuning, turned around and was about to leave, and suddenly asked Fang Bai, "By the way, when will you take Yu Ning to my place for an examination?"
Fang Bai took the candy out of his mouth, "When are you free?"
Liao Li: "I'll go back to Lake City on Thursday, how about Friday? It happens that Yu Ning is on vacation."
Fang Bai shook his head: "Not on Friday, change to another day."
"Why not?"
Fang Bai thought about the phone call the day before yesterday, "Master Fang is celebrating his birthday, the old man asked me to go over."
The original owner called her father as an old man, and as for the second son Fang, he was the child of the original owner's stepmother.
Liao Li asked: "Are you going to bring Yu Ning with you?"
Fang Bai: "Yes."
Liao Li raised his hand and glanced at his watch, time did not allow her to chat, "Okay, let's talk about it when I come back."
Liao Li walked towards the taxi she took, "Let's go."
Fang Bai waved his hand lazily: "Well, be careful."
Ji Yuning also said goodbye aloud.
When the taxi left, Fang Bai looked at Ji Yuning in silence for a few seconds, then turned around and got into the car.
When Ji Yuning got into the co-pilot, Fang Bai threw a green apple flavor into Ji Yuning's arms, "I didn't see you eating the peach flavor last time, try this flavor, it's quite delicious."
Ji Yuning picked it up, but she wasn't going to eat it.
After fastening the seat belt, Ji Yuning waited for the car to drive. After waiting for more than ten seconds, there was no movement in the driver's seat.
Ji Yuning turned her head and looked at Fang Bai.
Fang Bai: "Don't you like the apple flavor? I have other flavors here, you choose one yourself."
Ji Yuning: "..."
Finally, under Fang Bai's gaze, Ji Yuning tore off the candy wrapper and put the candy into her mouth.
Only then did Fang Bai start the car, and after driving out of the scope of the cemetery, Fang Bai asked, "Do you want to eat outside at noon or go home?"
Ji Yuning's answer was the same as before: "It's all right."
The candy in her mouth was too sweet, and she didn't want to talk.
The candy wrapper in her hand rattled, and Ji Yuning stuffed it into her pocket.
The car finally quieted down.
An hour later, the car drove into the city from the suburbs.
Fang Bai chose to take Ji Yuning out for dinner, and she wanted to ask Ji Yuning a question.
After ordering, after the waiter left the private room, Fang Bai hesitated for 5 minutes between asking and not asking. After the first dish was served, Fang Bai asked the question she had been holding back all the time.
Fang Bai looked at Ji Yuning and asked, "What did Liao Li tell you?"
Ji Yuning was sitting on the chair, obviously the candy was finished a few minutes ago, but there was still an apple taste in her mouth, she drank a few sips of water to dilute the sweetness in her mouth.
I'm not in a good mood, and I no longer have the desire to act.With a smug smile on the corner of Ji Yuning's mouth, she asked slowly, "Aunt Fang wants to know?"
Fang Bai nodded: "Yes."
"Why should I tell Aunt Fang?"
Fang Bai didn't expect Ji Yuning to ask her why, and said, "I just... care about you."
Ji Yuning half-closed her eyes, put away the smile on her lips, and said bluntly:
"Tell me to support me."
"But you refused."
"Uh…
Fang Bai looked straight at Ji Yuning's gaze on her, without any intention of avoiding it, his gaze was so clear that Ji Yuning saw her reflection in Fang Bai's eyes.
The same goes for Fang Bai.
When Fang Bai saw the sneer flashing in Ji Yuning's eyes, Fang Bai knew that what she said was like telling a joke to Ji Yuning, but she had no choice but to say it cheekily.
If these words are not spoken out clearly, Ji Yuning, who lives in hatred, will never notice her change.
Originally, Fang Bai had already made up his mind and waited for a suitable time to talk about it.
But today's unexpected situation directly interrupted Fang Bai's plan, and she could only ask at this, which she thought was not a good time.
Although Fang Bai had already expected the result, seeing Ji Yuning looking at her as if he was watching a clown walk a tightrope, every movement was ridiculous, a trace of resentment rose in Fang Bai's heart.
The tip of his tongue brushed the palate, Fang Bai lowered his eyes slightly, "You don't need to answer my question for now."
Watched by Ji Yuning mockingly, Fang Bai's eyes gradually drifted away.But the tone of the speech was firm: "I know this is very unfair to you. I am the one who hurt you, and I am the one who asks you to forgive me. I just want to tell you that from now on, what I did to you before I won't do all kinds of things again, I will try my best to make up for the harm I caused you, you—"
Ji Yuning couldn't take it anymore, although the painkillers worked, they couldn't suppress the dull pain in her heart.
Ji Yuning didn't know what was going on, it was obvious that everything about Fang Bai had long been numb, but when he heard the words slowly spoken by the person in front of him, that beating organ was awakened from the dusty memory that had been buried for a long time.
Every piece comes from the person in front of me.
Ji Yuning called lightly: "Fang Bai."
His voice was low, but his tone was as cold as ice.
Fang Bai was stunned.
This was the first time she heard Ji Yuning call her by her full name.
I have to admit that she was intimidated by the momentum in Ji Yuning's tone.
…although only for three seconds.
Fang Bai quickly realized, her lips raised stiffly, "Why?"
In this situation, Fang Bai forgot to correct Ji Yuning's address, he just wanted to know why Ji Yuning called her by her full name.
Ji Yuning's tone showed no emotional ups and downs, she asked lightly: "Have you played enough?"
Fang Bai was puzzled, and subconsciously asked, "What are you playing?"
Ji Yuning's eyes darkened, admiring Fang Bai's acting skills in her heart, she didn't know whether to praise her for her poor performance or her excellent acting.
He was so clumsy that he could see her sudden change at a glance, the undisguised gesture of favor and the incomparably sincere acceptance just now, it was like a different person, and he was very kind to her.
Acting so well that I almost fell into her gentle seduction for a second, indulging in the fortress of family love that she worked so hard to build.
let her too,
Almost lost this game.
Ji Yuning's black eyes suddenly changed, and the hostility in her eyes was wiped away in an instant. She lowered her eyes, with a smile on her lips, and said in a low voice, "It's nothing."
She will not lose.
"dong dong"
The knock on the door broke the weird atmosphere between the two.
Wu Mei's voice came into the room after knocking on the door, "Miss, are you in?"
Fang Bai put Ji Yuning's strange change of attitude aside, looked sideways at the door, and replied softly: "Yes, what's the matter?"
The door was ajar, Wu Mei thought about it and pushed the door open a bit.
When she opened the door, she saw Fang Bai sitting beside Ji Yuning's bed. Wu Mei was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Master called and asked why you haven't answered his calls."
She didn't bring her mobile phone with her, so she couldn't receive the call.
Fang Bai said, "I see, I'll call him back later."
"Okay." Wu Mei didn't leave, she asked, "Miss, are you okay? I just saw you looking through the medicine box."
Fang Bai shook his head: "It's okay, Xiao Ning has a stomachache, I found her painkillers."
After hearing this, Wu Mei looked at Ji Yuning: "Then Xiao Ji is alright?"
Ji Yuning hummed, "It's okay, Aunt Wu."
"That's good."
Wu Mei was relieved, and her gaze swept between Fang Bai and Ji Yuning. It was obvious that the relationship between Miss and Xiao Ji had improved a lot.
Wu Mei smiled in her heart, and her facial features melted kindly. She said to Fang Bai, "Miss, I'm going downstairs first, so I won't disturb you talking to Xiao Ji."
"En." Fang Bai said, "Okay."
Ji Yuning: "."
Before Wu Mei left, she closed the door behind her.
The tightly closed doors and windows made the air circulation in the room slow. Both of them had already bathed, and the aroma of shower gel lingered around.
Wu Mei's sudden appearance disrupted Fang Bai's thoughts. Fang Bai tidied up a bit and said, "You must be wondering why I suddenly treat you well."
Ji Yuning curled her hands on the quilt, "Yes."
Fang Bai's eyelashes trembled, "Last time when Liao Li came to treat you, he asked me if you were not afraid that Lu Xia would come to me after treating you like this? After that day, I thought that when Lu Xia sent you to my house, I had promised her I want to take good care of you, but now I have failed her expectations and broken my promise."
Although the original owner did not make a promise to Lu Xia, the original owner only promised that Lu Xia would raise Ji Yuning, but he did not say that he would treat her well.
"If you don't believe the few explanations I gave you before, then you just think that I changed my previous attitude towards you because I was afraid of retribution. Of course, this is just a reason I found for you, believe me. "
Ji Yuning paused, and said, "Believe it or not, I misunderstood Aunt Fang."
Fang Bai nodded, she had already said what she had to say, whether Ji Yuning believed it or not was beyond her control, and she had no excuse not to stay.
The important thing is that if Fang Bai doesn't leave, he will be frozen to death.
There is no need to turn on the air conditioner in the room, Ji Yuning's coldness is enough to cool down.
Fang Bai stood up, smiled sweetly, and said, "It's getting late, you should rest."
Ji Yuning: "Yes."
Fang Bai took two steps closer, put his hand on the top of Ji Yuning's head, and rubbed it, "Good night."
Thinking that Ji Yuning would not reply to her, Fang Bai didn't stop, removed his hand from Ji Yuning's head, turned and left the room.
The moment the door closed, Fang Bai crossed his arms, rubbed the cold goose bumps on his arms, and went downstairs lightly.
The next day.
Ji Yuning kept her school habit, getting up at six o'clock.
After washing up, Ji Yuning went back to her room to make up for the homework that she didn't finish last night because of her stomachache, and then she recited vocabulary for a while.
Ji Yuning didn't go downstairs until eight o'clock.
On the first floor, Wu Mei happened to bring out breakfast from the kitchen and put it on the dining table. When she saw Ji Yuning, Wu Mei smiled and asked, "Xiao Ji, are you awake? Does your stomach still hurt?"
"It's ready," Ji Yuning stepped forward and asked, "Do you need my help?"
"No, I've done it all."
Wu Mei remembered one thing while talking, she looked up at Ji Yuning, and said: "Miss hasn't woken up yet, would you like to help me go upstairs and ask Miss to come down for dinner?"
"..." Dig a hole and jump by yourself.
Facing Wu Mei's requesting gaze, Ji Yuning could only say: "Yes."
When going upstairs, the conversation from last night resurfaced in Ji Yuning's mind again, lingering.
Standing in front of Fang Bai's bedroom, Ji Yuning knocked twice on the off-white door.
Then Fang Bai's voice sounded: "Come in."
Ji Yuning didn't move, but said in a voice that people inside could hear through the door: "It's time to eat."
A woman's suspicious voice came from inside the door: "Xiao Ning?"
Ji Yuning turned around to leave, but just as she made a movement, there was a "click", and the closed door was pulled open from the inside.
Fang Bai looked at Ji Yuning's ponytail, the curled ends of her hair were completely incompatible with Ji Yuning's playfulness and cuteness, Fang Bai's heart softened, "Don't go, just come in."
Maybe it was just waking up, Fang Bai's tone was lazy, and every word he said had a trailing sound, as if he was... acting like a baby.
Ji Yuning declined to comment on this knowledge that emerged.
Ji Yuning paused in place, looking back at Fang Fangbai's sleepy eyes.
Knowing that Ji Yuning would not listen to her, Fang Bai could only say, "I have something to tell you."
After finishing speaking, Fang Baila opened the door, regardless of whether Ji Yuning could enter or not, she went back into the house by herself.
Ji Yuning hesitated for a moment, then walked into Fang Bai's bedroom.
Different from the pink walls in her room, the inside of Fangbai's room is beige, comfortable and peaceful, and the cabinets and other objects in the room are also plain.
The only bright color in Fang Bai's room might be the royal blue pajamas she was wearing.
It is abrupt but does not conflict, but the strong sense of color difference is more attractive.
Fang Bai turned directly into the bathroom. She had just brushed her teeth and was about to wash her face.
When looking in the mirror, Fang Bai noticed that Ji Yuning had entered the room, and she asked, "Does your stomach still hurt?"
Ji Yuning: "No."
Fang Bai snorted: "I forgot to ask you yesterday, does it hurt every time you come here or once in a while?"
Ji Yuning: "Occasionally."
"I see." Fang Bai turned on the faucet and began to wash his hands, "Last night when I came back from your room, Liao Li called, but I didn't go upstairs to look for you because I was afraid of disturbing your rest. After she knew the reason, she called Said that when she came back, I would take you to the hospital for an examination."
"There's nothing to check." Ji Yuning refused.
Fang Bai said softly: "Not only to check this problem, Liao Li will give you a full body check."
Fang Bai also thought in his heart that he should give Ji Yuning a physical examination, so that she would know how to make up for Ji Yuning in the future.
Fang Bai leaned over, touched his face twice with clean water, then picked up facial cleanser and squeezed it on his hand, "Don't resist, Liao Li, can you still trust me?"
Those are the only few people in the book who treat Ji Yuning well.
Suddenly, Fang Bai's movements of rubbing the facial cleanser slowed down. Liao Li is so kind to Ji Yuning, if she doesn't let Ji Yuning contact Liao Li, wouldn't it be too good?
Thinking of this, Fang Bai looked at the person standing at the bathroom door from the mirror, and asked, "Do you want to add her on WeChat? I can... push you there."
Ji Yuning: "...No need."
"Huh?" Fang Bai turned his eyes in surprise, "Why? I thought you would agree, after all, every time you two chat, I feel that you are very happy."
Because Liao Li would say something about Lu Xia every time.
Three years is neither long nor short, but the memory of Lu Xia has become blurred since then, and Lu Xia in her mind is becoming less and less clear. Only when Ji Yuning sees pictures of Lu Xia occasionally or dreams in dreams, Ji Yuning will be clear Only by seeing Lu Xia can we embrace Lu Xia for a short time.
Putting away her thoughts, Ji Yuning said indifferently: "I'm going downstairs first."
"Wait a minute." Fang Bai stopped, "I'll be fine soon."
Ji Yuning raised her eyes, and saw Fang Bai rubbing her face with hands full of facial cleanser.
The approach was hasty, without any tenderness.
Seems to be in a rush for something...
Duan Ran didn't want to go downstairs with her, Ji Yuning thought.
Two minutes later, Fang Bai and Ji Yuning walked down the stairs one after the other.
Fang Bai squatted on the slippers, and there was a slight friction sound between the soles of the shoes and the step surface, which broke the awkward atmosphere between Fang Bai and Ji Yuning.
After going downstairs, Fang Bai looked at the breakfast set on the dining table, and sat on the chair, she couldn't help the message Liao Li sent her last night...
Fang Bai was silent, "After breakfast, I'll take you somewhere."
Ji Yuning looked at Fang Bai, "I have something to do."
"Is it important? Can you push it?"
Ji Yuning: "No."
"Alright then." Fang Bai coughed lightly, "Actually, tomorrow is fine too. Do you have anything to do tomorrow?"
Ji Yuning didn't know what Fang wanted to drag her to do, but she still said truthfully: "No."
Fang Bai nodded: "Then I will take you there tomorrow."
Ji Yuning: "Yes."
"Do you need Uncle Li to send you?"
Fang Bai asked if Ji Yuning needed to go out for a while.
Ji Yuning swallowed the porridge in her mouth and refused, "I'll take the bus."
Fang Bai didn't insist, and raised his eyebrows: "Okay."
Ji Yuning went out at 08:30 and didn't come home until three in the afternoon.
Fang Bai also experienced the feeling of raising a cub on this day.
When eating lunch, I can't help thinking about whether Ji Yuning ate or not, what she ate, and sending a message to Ji Yuning to ask when she will be home, and worrying about accidents after waiting for a long time...
But after thinking that Ji Yuning is the heroine, this worry is relieved.
After scanning the plot line, Fang Bai quickly understood what Ji Yuning was doing.
According to the plot, Ji Yuning should have gotten in touch with that person at this time, and began to paint her blueprint.
When Ji Yuning came home, she thought that Fang Bai would ask what she had done, but when she entered the living room, she saw Fang Bai lazily leaning on the sofa, with a strange woman sitting next to her, who half held Fang Bai's hand, She lowered her head and applied nail polish.
Hearing the movement, Fang Bai opened her closed eyes. Seeing that it was Ji Yuning, she bent her eyes and asked, "Are you back?"
Ji Yuning: "Yes."
Fang Bai: "I'm doing nail art—"
Fang Bai suddenly stopped.
After figuring out what Ji Yuning was going to do, Fang Bai no longer worried about Ji Yuning, but was worried about her in the future.
Living in the present, she can't always worry about the misery two years later, the most important thing is to learn to enjoy.
So she called the manicurist that the original owner usually used.
He didn't expect to be bumped into by Ji Yuning.
For some reason, Fang Bai felt guilty for a second.
There is a weird feeling of "I am working hard to make money outside, but you are spending money recklessly".
Although she knew that the original owner's money was spent, this feeling was still very obvious.
Fang Bai swallowed, lowered his voice and asked, "Do you want to go together?"
To cover up her guilty conscience, she wanted to take Ji Yuning to enjoy it together.
Ji Yuning looked at the big box next to the manicurist, which was full of bottles and jars.
Ji Yuning was not interested in this: "The school doesn't allow it."
Fang Bai immediately responded with regret and said, "Then we can finish it during the summer vacation."
Fang Bai motioned to the manicurist, sat up, "Have you eaten yet? Sister Wu left it for you."
Ji Yuning hummed and said, "I'm going upstairs."
Fang Bai blinked: "...OK."
An afternoon passed like this.
In the evening, Fang Bai knocked on Ji Yuning's door with a glass of milk as usual.
After three breaths, the door was opened from the inside.
Seeing that it was Fang Bai, Ji Yuning turned sideways.
Seeing this, Fang Bai smiled, "I'm afraid it will disturb your study, so I won't go in."
After hearing this, Ji Yuning turned back to her body, holding the doorknob in her hand, waiting to close the door at any time.
Fang Bai stretched out his arm, and handed the things in his hand to Ji Yuning: "Here is milk."
Ji Yuning lowered her eyes and took it.
Fang Bai handed the things in the other hand to Ji Yuning, "I also brought you medicine, if the pain is severe, take one, or call me, don't carry it."
Ji Yuning took it again after hesitating, "Thank you."
"you are welcome."
Fang Bai's hand in mid-air did not fall, but raised it high, and put it flat on Ji Yuning's forehead, the white rhinestones on the fingernails shone under the light.
After stopping, Fang Bai slowly moved his hand towards himself, made a comparison and said, "I don't know if it's my illusion, but I always feel that you are taller."
The result of the comparison is that the two are equal.
Fang Bai put down his hands, put his hands behind his back, and said slowly: "It seems that this is really my illusion."
Ji Yuning, who saw Fang Bai raised his hand upwards: "."
Even the slight banter when the woman spoke was caught by her eyes.
Fang Bai didn't realize that her behavior was discovered by Ji Yuning, she said: "Go to bed early tonight, and I will take you out tomorrow."
As Fang Bai spoke, he habitually raised his hand, rubbed the top of Ji Yuning's hair twice, and said, "I'm going to bed too, good night."
The top of her head was rubbed by Fang Bai many times, and Ji Yuning was treated like an animal by Fang Bai, a cute pet that was harmless to her.
Ji Yuning wanted to avoid Fang Bai's hand, but every time the woman would put her hand on top of her head when she was not paying attention, she couldn't dodge it.
Fang Bai was curious, Ji Yuning obviously had a face, but she could see Ji Yuning's hidden expression.
Just like now, Fang Bai sensed Ji Yuning's expressionless face, the contradiction between wanting to resist but unable to resist.
Fang Bai couldn't help wiping his smile, and withdrew his hand, "Drink the milk while it's hot, and I'll take the cup down by the way."
Without Fang Bai's hand on top of her head, Ji Yuning's tense nerves relaxed. According to what Fang Bai said, she would leave after drinking the milk, so Ji Yuning just stared at the milk, then raised her head and drank it.
Fang Bai folded his arms around his chest, instead of picking up the empty cup in Ji Yuning's hand, he asked teasingly with a smile, "You want me to leave so much? How about I come into your room and sit?"
Fang Bai kept staring at Ji Yuning's face while speaking, and no accident, she saw a flash of micro-expression on Ji Yuning's bland face.
is disgust.
But soon, the trace of disgust disappeared and pretended to be obedient.
Gee.
How did you not know that Ji Yuning had such a rich expression before?
Pretty fun.
When Fang Bai saw what he wanted to see, he didn't intend to tease Ji Yuning any more. He reached for the cup and said, "I'm lying to you."
After speaking, he turned and left the door of the room.
Ji Yuning was stunned, and stood motionless on the spot.
She was played by Fang Bai just now, right?
Sunday.
After dinner, Fang Bai drove Ji Yuning out of the villa at eight o'clock in the morning.
There were many and heavy clouds in the sky, covering the sky and blocking out the sun. Without the light of the sun, the ground was gloomy.
The car drove out of the villa area and arrived in front of a flower shop ten minutes later.
Seeing the car parked at the flower shop, Ji Yuning suddenly guessed Fang Bai's intentions, but she was not sure.
But in the next second, what Fang Bai said confirmed Ji Yuning's conjecture.
Fang Bai asked her: "Do you still remember what flowers your mother likes?"
really.
I want to buy flowers for my mother.
Ji Yuning looked out the window, even though her mother's face was blurred in her memory, she remembered all her mother's preferences clearly and would never forget them.
Fang Bai unbuckled his seat belt, "I'm going in to buy a bunch of flowers, and you should come along."
Ji Yuning turned her head, she stared at Fang Bai, and asked, "Are you...going?"
Fang Bai: "Yes."
Fang Bai: "Monday is your mother's death day, but you have to go to school. I wanted to bring you here yesterday, but you have something to do...you can do it today."
The day before yesterday, besides asking about Ji Yuning, Liao Li also mentioned that next Monday would be the anniversary of Lu Xia's death, and asked her if she would go.
The original owner never swept the offering.
Fang Bai felt that it was necessary for her to pay homage.
It's not an apology for the original owner, nor is it a promise to Lu Xia, it's just the... behavior that Ji Yuning's guardian should have.
Regarding Lu Xia, Ji Yuning could no longer pretend, she lowered her eyes and asked, "Are you worthy?"
Ji Yuning's tone was not aggressive, she just asked this sentence indifferently.
But precisely because of this, the three words have the impact of directly hitting Fang Bai's heart and unveiling the veil of hypocrisy, like being despised as an ant, and everything Fang Bai has to do seems to be a joke.
Fang Bai said: "...Lu Xia is my friend."
Fang Bai felt that she should pretend to be angry, so he used some force when closing the door.
At the same time as there was a bang, Ji Yuning's low smile entered Fang Bai's ears.
"Ah."
What a sarcasm, my friend.
There was too much in this laugh, Fang Bai pretended not to hear it.
Fang Bai wasn't really angry, Ji Yuning was talking about the original owner and not her, she was just acting angry from the perspective of the original owner who "wanted to get better".
But what caught Fang Bai's attention was Ji Yuning's tone of voice, which was exactly the same as the night before.
When Ji Yuning got off the car, Fang Bai walked up to her, "Kids, don't talk to me in that tone from now on."
Fang Bai felt that it wasn't enough, and added a threat: "Next time, I will call... deduct your pocket money."
After speaking, Fang Bai turned around and walked into the flower shop, leaving Ji Yuning behind.
"... "
Lakeside Cemetery.
The car is parked on the side of the road.
After getting off the car, Fang Bai took out the flowers she bought from the back seat, looked up, and saw Ji Yuning getting off the passenger car with the flowers in her arms.
Two bunches of the same sunflower represent the sun, full of brilliance and vitality.
Looking at each other, Ji Yuning took the lead to look away, and walked towards the cemetery in silence.
When Lu Xia was buried, the original owner did not show up, which caused Fang Bai to not know where Lu Xia's tomb was.
So at this moment, Fang Bai trailed behind Ji Yuning quietly, saying that one second he was Lu Xia's friend, but the next second he didn't even know where Lu Xia's tomb was. Fang Bai also found it ironic.
Ji Yuning caught a glimpse of Fang Bai's behavior from the corner of her eye, but she didn't expose it.
Ji Yuning never thought about Fang Bai bringing her to the cemetery, and his doubts about this matter have already covered up Fang Bai's ridiculous behavior at the moment.
Ji Yuning was thinking about Fang Bai's purpose for doing this.
Is it to make her believe the theory of retribution that night?Make her believe it completely?
But didn't Fang Bai say that that was just a reason for her to trust?
"?"
Ji Yuning was suddenly in a trance, because she found...
She actually believed Fang Bai's words?
Seeing Ji Yuning stop, Fang Bai thought he had already arrived, but looking around, he didn't find Lu Xia's name.
Fang Bai asked aloud, "What's wrong?"
Ji Yuning temporarily hid her surprise and recovered, "It's okay."
1 minute later.
Ji Yuning stood in front of a tombstone, and Fang Bai followed her, looking at the word Lu Xia on the tombstone, looking at the woman in the photo, with a smile on her lips, looking extremely gentle.
Lu Xia is a good person, he was kind all his life, but he loved the wrong person and ruined himself.
When reading the text, Fang Bai always had a regret for Lu Xia.
It's a pity that she has a cheerful personality, and it's a pity that she has an impermanent life.
Below the tombstone, there are two bunches of flowers that are not very fresh, one is sunflowers, and the other is perfume lilies.
Both seem like yesterday...
Fang Bai pretended to look at Ji Yuning casually, and had a guess about what Ji Yuning did when he went out yesterday.
If Ji Yuning came here yesterday, who gave the extra bunch?Looking at the packaging, it was from the same flower shop, and Ji Yuning came with someone else.
There is a high probability that the bunch of sunflowers belongs to Ji Yuning. As for the perfume lily, it seems that the people in the company don't know Lu Xia well.
The two stood silently in front of the tombstone, each with their own thoughts, and neither of them spoke.
I don't know how long after, the wind blew, and Ji Yuning's muffled voice came to Fang Bai's ear with the wind, "It's ok."
Fang Bai pushed the blown hair behind his ears, and said softly, "Then let's go."
Fang Bai was wearing a skirt that swayed in the wind.
A person came from a distance.
Liao Li looked at the person standing in front of Lu Xia's tombstone, and exclaimed in surprise, "Fang Bai?"
Fang Bai followed the sound and saw Liao Li walking towards them with a bunch of sunflowers.
Looking at Fang Bai briefly, Liao Li's eyes locked on Ji Yuning, her voice lowered unconsciously, "Yu Ning."
Ji Yuning glanced at the flowers in Liao Li's arms, and called, "Aunt Liao."
Liao Li walked up to Ji Yuning with a smile, raised his hand and patted Ji Yuning's shoulder, "I'll go say hello to your mother first."
Receiving Ji Yuning's nod in response, Liao Li turned his head to look at Fang Bai, with no smile on his face, and said to Fang Bai coldly, "Wait for me to go together."
Fang Bai: "..."
Liao Li has practiced face changing, right? !
Five minutes later, the three of them walked side by side on the way down the mountain.
Fang Bai thought about the message Liao Li sent her the day before yesterday, and asked, "Didn't you say you'll be back next week?"
Liao Li had a bag on his shoulder, "I came back from leave."
After hearing this, Fang Bai sighed Liao Li's affection for Lu Xia, "Just got off the plane?"
Liao Li: "Yes."
Liao Li remembered what he saw just now, and asked, "Who else came? I saw two more flowers."
Ji Yuning couldn't help but hold the hand hanging by her leg.
Fang Bai looked into the distance, "Lu Xia is not just our two friends."
Also.
Liao Li continued to ask, "Why are you here today?"
She remembered telling Fang Bai that it was Monday.
Fang Bai still remembered that Liao Li was fierce to her just now, and asked back, "Aren't you too?"
Liao Li snorted coldly, and explained: "I have a few surgeries starting tomorrow, and I really don't have time, so I can only take Sunday off."
Fang Bai snorted: "Tomorrow Monday, Xiao Ning will go to school."
Speaking of Ji Yuning, Liao Li turned his head to look at Ji Yuning, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for three years, Yu Ning is almost as tall as me."
Fang Bai answered subconsciously: "If you take off your high heels, you may be average height."
Liao Li's smile froze, she turned her head and said, "You are the only one who can talk?"
Fang Bai: "..."
She wanted to say that it was due to the instinct of the original owner's memory control, would Liao Li believe it?
After the little quarrel, the surroundings of the three returned to silence.
Liao Li waited for a while, and when he was about to reach the foot of the mountain, he said directly to Fang Bai: "I want to have a private chat with Yu Ning."
Fang Bai refused without thinking, "No."
Liao Li: "Why not?"
Of course, I was afraid that you would abduct Ji Yuning away.
The corners of Fang Bai's lips curled up, "Is there anything I can't hear?"
"It's nothing, it's just that I want to have a private chat with Yu Ning, and it's a bit unpleasant to be around you." Liao Li put his arms around his chest and taunted mercilessly.
Fang Bai was indifferent.
Liao Li waited and saw that Fang Bai had no intention of leaving, so he said, "What I said last time, I—"
Liao Li paused deliberately.
Fang Bai breathed out, turned to Ji Yuning and said, "...I'll wait for you at the car."
Ji Yuning's gaze stayed on Liao Li for a second, and she nodded, "Yes."
Fang Bai walked towards the car alone, while Liao Li and Ji Yuning stood opposite each other.
When Fang Bai was gone, Liao Li asked, "Yu Ning, how has Fang Bai treated you these two weeks? Has she... bullied you again?"
Ji Yuning said truthfully, "No."
Liao Li breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
Ji Yuning didn't have too complicated feelings for Liao Li, and when she was talking to Liao Li, she didn't hold back that hatred any more, and asked in a calm tone, "Aunt Liao, what was the agreement you said just now?"
Liao Li guessed that Ji Yuning would ask, but just paused, without hiding it: "Last time when you had a fever, I found the scars on your body, and that's when I realized how she has treated you like this for the past three years..."
Liao Li met Shang Ji Yu Ning's eyes, "I'm sorry, I should have found out earlier, otherwise you would..."
Ji Yuning interrupted: "It's okay, Aunt Liao, you can continue."
Liao Li: "After I gave you the liquid, I told Fang Bai that I wanted to raise you, but Fang Bai refused."
Ji Yuning paused.
Liao Li continued, "Fang Bai said that she will always treat you well, and then I saw that what she said was true, and I was busy during this time, so I might not be able to take care of you, so I made an agreement with Fang Bai that I would treat you every weekend. Going to see you at home is to monitor whether she has complied with the agreement. The two times I called you, I just wanted to see if she had violated the agreement. "
"So..." Ji Yuning half-closed her eyelids, "The reason why she started being nice to me is because you want to support me?"
After hearing this, Liao Li said, "No."
Ji Yuning looked at Liao Li in surprise.
I don't understand why Liao Li would categorically say no.
Liao Li looked at the figure who had already walked down the mountain. His slender back was like a wicker that fluttered when blown.
Liao Li pursed his lips and said, "I know Fang Bai well. I can see that she was very nervous about you before I proposed to raise you. Maybe she regretted it before you had a fever."
Liao Li said: "Perhaps she wasn't keeping the agreement between us during this time, but she really regretted it, otherwise she wouldn't have the face to see Lu Xia."
Liao Li said: "Of course, Auntie is not trying to excuse Fang Bai. It is a fact that she abused you domestically. No matter how she treats you in the future, this matter will not be erased. Auntie can understand if you resent her or anything. In two years you will not be able to get rid of it." When you are an adult, you can choose to leave her side. If you have had enough of her one day in the past two years, you can come to Auntie."
Ji Yuning nodded: "Thank you, Aunt Liao."
"What's there to thank? I haven't done anything yet." Liao Li laughed, "That's all I want to say. Is there anything else you want to tell me? If not, let's go down the mountain."
Ji Yuning looked at the person leaning against the car, thinking that Liao Li could make Fang Bai obediently go down the mountain without finishing a sentence, raised her eyebrows and said, "She is very afraid of you."
Ji Yuning did not doubt, but said affirmatively.
Liao Li was startled for a moment, followed Ji Yuning's line of sight before realizing that she was referring to Fang Bai, "Is there any?"
Liao Li recalled the past, "It seems a little bit, when the three of us played together, she listened to me very much."
Ji Yuning's eyes flashed in thought.
Liao Li didn't care about this, she took out her mobile phone from her bag and handed it to Ji Yuning, "Do you have a mobile phone? Give me the number, and you can call me if you need anything."
Ji Yuning lowered her head.
Fang Bai asked her if she would add Liao Li, but she refused.
Now Liao Li took the initiative to add her, and she had no reason to refuse.
"Okay." Ji Yuning reached out to take it, entered her mobile phone number, and clicked to dial.
The first second the bell rang, Ji Yuning cut off the call, and then handed the phone back to Liao Li.
"Let's go, or she will lose her temper after waiting for a long time." Liao Li said after taking the phone.
Ji Yuning paused, then said, "Yes."
Just as Fang Bai tore open a lollipop, Liao Li and Ji Yuning came down from the mountain.
Looking at the candy in Fang Bai's hand, Liao Li asked, "Why did you start eating candy?"
Fang Bai held a candy stick between his fingers, and said like he was holding a cigarette, "Quit smoking."
"?" Liao Li was puzzled, "When did you start smoking?"
Liao Li didn't know?
Fang Bai searched for the memory of the original owner, and found that the original owner suddenly smoked cigarettes three years ago.
Fang Bai shrugged: "It's nothing, I quit."
Liao Li hummed, "I still have to catch a plane, so I'll leave first."
Fang Bai nodded.
Liao Li said a few more words to Ji Yuning, turned around and was about to leave, and suddenly asked Fang Bai, "By the way, when will you take Yu Ning to my place for an examination?"
Fang Bai took the candy out of his mouth, "When are you free?"
Liao Li: "I'll go back to Lake City on Thursday, how about Friday? It happens that Yu Ning is on vacation."
Fang Bai shook his head: "Not on Friday, change to another day."
"Why not?"
Fang Bai thought about the phone call the day before yesterday, "Master Fang is celebrating his birthday, the old man asked me to go over."
The original owner called her father as an old man, and as for the second son Fang, he was the child of the original owner's stepmother.
Liao Li asked: "Are you going to bring Yu Ning with you?"
Fang Bai: "Yes."
Liao Li raised his hand and glanced at his watch, time did not allow her to chat, "Okay, let's talk about it when I come back."
Liao Li walked towards the taxi she took, "Let's go."
Fang Bai waved his hand lazily: "Well, be careful."
Ji Yuning also said goodbye aloud.
When the taxi left, Fang Bai looked at Ji Yuning in silence for a few seconds, then turned around and got into the car.
When Ji Yuning got into the co-pilot, Fang Bai threw a green apple flavor into Ji Yuning's arms, "I didn't see you eating the peach flavor last time, try this flavor, it's quite delicious."
Ji Yuning picked it up, but she wasn't going to eat it.
After fastening the seat belt, Ji Yuning waited for the car to drive. After waiting for more than ten seconds, there was no movement in the driver's seat.
Ji Yuning turned her head and looked at Fang Bai.
Fang Bai: "Don't you like the apple flavor? I have other flavors here, you choose one yourself."
Ji Yuning: "..."
Finally, under Fang Bai's gaze, Ji Yuning tore off the candy wrapper and put the candy into her mouth.
Only then did Fang Bai start the car, and after driving out of the scope of the cemetery, Fang Bai asked, "Do you want to eat outside at noon or go home?"
Ji Yuning's answer was the same as before: "It's all right."
The candy in her mouth was too sweet, and she didn't want to talk.
The candy wrapper in her hand rattled, and Ji Yuning stuffed it into her pocket.
The car finally quieted down.
An hour later, the car drove into the city from the suburbs.
Fang Bai chose to take Ji Yuning out for dinner, and she wanted to ask Ji Yuning a question.
After ordering, after the waiter left the private room, Fang Bai hesitated for 5 minutes between asking and not asking. After the first dish was served, Fang Bai asked the question she had been holding back all the time.
Fang Bai looked at Ji Yuning and asked, "What did Liao Li tell you?"
Ji Yuning was sitting on the chair, obviously the candy was finished a few minutes ago, but there was still an apple taste in her mouth, she drank a few sips of water to dilute the sweetness in her mouth.
I'm not in a good mood, and I no longer have the desire to act.With a smug smile on the corner of Ji Yuning's mouth, she asked slowly, "Aunt Fang wants to know?"
Fang Bai nodded: "Yes."
"Why should I tell Aunt Fang?"
Fang Bai didn't expect Ji Yuning to ask her why, and said, "I just... care about you."
Ji Yuning half-closed her eyes, put away the smile on her lips, and said bluntly:
"Tell me to support me."
"But you refused."
"Uh…
