After being dressed as cannon fodder, I just want to live

Fang Bai didn't know how long he sat in the coffee shop, it was only when the waiter came up to ask her if she wanted to clean up the cups on the table that Fang Bai came back to his senses.

Walking out of the coffee shop, without the shelter of the building, the cold wind blew across my cheeks.

Brushing the hair that was blowing on his face behind his ears, Fang Bai walked towards the parking spot.

Back in the car, the warmth gradually eased, and the fingers that were almost frozen by the wind slowly stretched out.

Suddenly, Fang Bai thought of Ji Yuning who asked him to help warm his hands last night. Obviously, the hand in his pocket was warmer than hers, and the person who was warmed was actually her.

Fang Bai smiled casually, but the smile faded before it reached his eyes.

Just as she was thinking about it, a bell broke the silence. Through the fabric of the clothes, the bell sounded a bit muffled.

It's like Fang Bai's stuffy mood.

Taking the mobile phone out of his pocket, looking at the word [Xiao Ning] on the screen, Fang Bai slowed down his breathing for two seconds, and swiped to connect after the water in his eyes became warm.

The moment the phone was attached to her ear, Ji Yuning's voice came into her ears.

"Auntie." Ji Yuning shouted.

In normal times, the two words sound emotionless, as if Fang Bai forced Ji Yuning to shout them.But across the screen, I could hear a trace of tenderness.

Fang Bai secretly laughed that he was confused by the wind again.

"Well, here it is." Fang Bai said.

The person on the other side of the phone waited, but before Fang Bai asked her what she was calling for, he pursed his lips and said, "I'm getting in the car."

Are you in the car?

Fang Bai glanced at the time, only to realize that she had been sitting in the coffee shop for nearly an hour...

Surprise flashed in his eyes, it was strange that he was not asked to leave by the clerk.

What Fang Bai didn't know was that the clerk thought about asking Fang Bai to leave, after all, she didn't order anything.But after seeing the worry on Fang Bai's face, the clerk didn't make a sound to disturb him, and waited like this for nearly an hour.

Fang Bai said softly, "Okay."

The voice on the other side was dull: "I have to hand in my mobile phone when I go, and I don't send it until the end of the game."

Fang Bai paused for a few seconds after hearing this, and then asked, "Then did you bring cash?"

Without mobile payment, Fang Bai worried that Ji Yuning didn't have enough money.

Ji Yuning didn't expect Fang Bai to ask her this, knowing it was because of concern, Ji Yuning felt warm in her heart, "Bring it."

"That's good. If you don't have enough money, you can ask the teacher. When the time comes, I..." Fang Bai blinked, "You can transfer it to the teacher."

Fang Bai's words turned quickly, but Ji Yuning couldn't find it, so she responded, "It's enough."

"Enough is enough." Fang Bai said, "Eat more and maintain a balanced nutrition. I have managed to keep you healthy and healthy. For nothing...you don't want to lose weight after a few days."

Fang Bai couldn't say the word fat, but Ji Yuning wasn't fat at all.

Noticing that Fang Bai had swallowed the words, there was an obvious laugh on the phone, "I know."

Hearing Ji Yuning's laughter, Fang Bai thought back to what Lu Xiaomei said to her, and a sour feeling emerged from the tip of his heart, and the smile on his lips faded again.

Fang Bai asked, "When will I hand over the phone?"

"Noon." Ji Yuning said.

The training camp will start directly in the afternoon.

"Well," Fang Bai asked softly, "I haven't seen you for almost two hours, do you miss Auntie?"

The phone was silent.

Fang Bai's soft tone with the ending hooked Ji Yuning, which made Ji Yuning's heart skip a beat. Before he could say the word "I thought about it", Fang Bai made up Ji Yuning's brain because he didn't wait for the answer. Yu Ning said "I don't want to".

"Oh." Fang Bai sighed.

Ji Yuning's heart tightened, realizing that Fang Bai might have misunderstood her.

But before she could speak, Fang Bai said again: "Auntie misses you."

I can't speak at all.

Ji Yuning's heart was about to jump out of her chest.

As if in summer, the warm sun shone on his whole body, just because of Fang Bai's words.

Unable to hear Ji Yuning's voice, Fang Bai murmured, "Do you want to make a video call?"

This time Ji Yuning finally found her vocal cords, she restrained her throbbing joy, and said softly, "Okay."

Surprised by the person opposite, Ji Yuning quickly got up from her seat.

"I'll call you." Said Fang Bai cut off the phone, turned to WeChat and dialed the video to Ji Yuning.

The bell only rang once, and Ji Yuning was connected.

Fang Bai saw at a glance that Ji Yuning's background was the toilet of the high-speed rail, so he couldn't help smiling, "Why did you go to the toilet to make a phone call?"

Ji Yuning only showed half of her face, "It's noisy outside."

Although the toilet is not very quiet.

Fang Bai asked a very crucial question, "What if someone wants to go to the bathroom?"

"I'll go out after a while." Ji Yuning noticed that Fang Bai was in the car, "Are you outside?"

"That's right." Fang Bai leaned back, sucked his nose and said, "I don't want to go to work."

Fang Bai often feels discouraged or discouraged, but this is the first time he has shown it in front of Ji Yuning.

Seeing this, Ji Yuning unconsciously lowered her voice, "What's wrong?"

Fang Bai leaned against the back of the chair, blinked his eyelashes, and said, "It's nothing, it's just that you're not here, Auntie has no motivation to go to work."

After the words fell, not only Ji Yuning was stunned, but Fang Bai was also stunned.

Obviously knowing that these sweet words don't work on Ji Yuning, but it seems...it has become an instinct and a habit to say nice things to Ji Yuning.

Fang Baifen opened his lips, wanting to explain.

Ji Yuning at the other end of the screen said first, "I'll be back soon."

"Don't worry," Fang Bai said lazily, raising his lips slightly, "Let auntie be lazy."

Ji Yuning's eyes flickered: "Yes."

Fang Bai caught a glimpse of Ji Yuning's background again, and said softly, "Go out, show me the scenery on the road."

Ji Yuning replied "Yes".

Her seat was right next to the window, and after returning to her seat, Ji Yuning turned the side of the screen to the window.

Fang Bai just used his mobile phone to watch the scenery whistling past Ji Yuning.

Ji Yuning leaned her elbows on the window sill, looking sideways at Fang Bai on the screen.

For Ji Yuning, Fang Bai is the scene she can't miss.

Neither of them spoke in tacit agreement.

Five minutes later, Fang Bai's voice came from Ji Yuning's earphones: "Actually, Auntie wants to travel around the world, but she never had the chance."

The tone is serious and serious.

Suddenly, the emotion that surged up when she stepped into the school gate hit again, Ji Yuning quickly turned the phone to herself.

Fang Bai on the screen was smiling, with a touch of humor, as if the person who spoke just now was not her.

Fang Bai moved his phone closer to his face, as if he wanted to see Ji Yuning's expression.

And her face was enlarged on Ji Yuning's screen, staring into Fang Bai's eyes, Ji Yuning said: "If there is a chance, I will accompany you."

"..." Fang Bai's hands were stiff, but there was a smile on the screen, "Okay."

Ji Yuning was completely coaxed by Fang Bai's smile, and slightly lowered her eyes, her eyelashes covering the smile in her eyes.

"Little Lemon."

The voice in the earphones is light and leisurely, like a tiny electric current passing through, crisp and numb.

Ji Yuning raised her eyes, "Auntie."

Hearing Ji Yuning calling her, Fang Bai was startled, his eyes swept over Ji Yuning inch by inch.

The child's appearance has changed a lot from when he first met, and he has begun to grow out of childishness and grow into an adult.

Fang Bai spoke softly, and said to Ji Yuning, "Take care of yourself."

Then Fang Bai quickly answered in his usual tone: "Auntie hung up the phone~"

Ji Yuning hadn't had time to discover the deep meaning in it.

Ji Yuning had no choice but to reply: "Yes."

A week passed quickly, and the game ended on the morning of the seventh day.

After the end, the teacher leading the team returned the phone to Ji Yuning, and discussed when to return to Lake City.

In the end, I decided not to eat lunch, and went back to the dormitory to pack my luggage before returning.

The main reason is that the food is not delicious.

On the way back to the dormitory, Ji Yuning turned on her mobile phone, and the first thing she did was to connect to the Internet.

But before connecting to the data, the SMS notification popped up.

Ji Yuning opened it.

Yuan Yizhen: [The Li Group has been rejected according to your intention. ]

Yuan Yizhen: [Lu Xiaomei has come to Hushi. ]

The message was sent a week ago, just after Ji Yuning handed over her phone.Yuan Yizhen didn't know the exact time when Ji Yuning handed over the phone, but after getting no reply from Ji Yuning, she guessed the situation, and didn't send Ji Yuning any more text messages after that.

When Ji Yuning saw the second content, her eyes were indifferent, and she called Yuan Yizhen back.

It was connected quickly there.

Ji Yuning just asked about Lu Xiaomei, and when Yuan Yizhen finished speaking and was about to report to Ji Yuning on the work content for the week, Ji Yuning refused, "Let's go back and talk about it."

Yuan Yizhen paused for a moment, and quickly said, "Okay."

But Yuan Yizhen asked again: "Do you need me to pick you up at the station?"

Ji Yuning immediately thought of what Fang Bai said to her, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised a beautiful arc, "No, Auntie will pick me up."

Yuan Yizhen: "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Ji Yuning clicked on WeChat.

There are only seven unread messages, but none are from Fang Bai.

Although the expectation was in vain, Ji Yuning's good mood was not extinguished.

Fang Bai is busy with work, she knows it.

Swiping the screen with her fingertips, Ji Yuning clicked on the dialog with Fang Bai.

Fang Bai's profile picture was still the same as before, while Ji Yuning's profile picture was replaced by Fang Bai's picture of Bei Bei falling down.

very funny.

Moreover, the two cat portraits looked like they were used by couples.

The corners of Ji Yuning's mouth twitched again.

The keyboard popped up, and Ji Yuning typed:

[Aunt. ]

[The game is over. ]

At this time, Ji Yuning also returned to the dormitory.

Seeing that Fang Bai didn't reply, Ji Yuning packed her luggage first. She had few things, so she packed them up quickly.

On the way to the meeting point, when Ji Yuning was hesitating whether to call Fang Bai, the phone vibrated twice.

Ji Yuning's face was calm, but the action of turning on the phone was much faster.

I haven't contacted Fang Bai for a week.

This is the longest time without contact in more than a year.

But when Ji Yuning saw the content sent by the person with the note "Aunt Fang", the smile in his eyes was replaced by coldness.

Aunt Fang sent: [Xiao Ji, this is Aunt Wu.What time do you arrive at the station?I will ask Lao Li to pick you up. ]

For a moment, Ji Yuning was full of doubts, and under the doubts, panic came out faintly.

Ji Yuning dialed the phone without hesitation, and when Wu Mei's voice came out of the receiver, some bubbles called anticipation exploded into powder.

It's not Fang Bai's joke, it's really Wu Mei on the other side.

After being stunned, Ji Yuning held onto her last hope and asked, "Where's Fang Bai?"

On the high-speed train back to Lake City, Ji Yuning repeated in her mind what Wu Mei said:

"Miss is going on a trip."

"Suddenly said he was going on a trip, but didn't say where he was going."

"The mobile phone was left to me by the lady. She said that she didn't want to be disturbed during the trip, and asked me to help reply to the person who contacted her."

"Yes, Miss bought a new mobile phone. New number? Miss didn't leave it for me."

"Does the master know? You should know, the lady went to see the master before leaving."

"..."

Ji Yuning closed her eyes.

Notified everyone, except her.

Was it really a whim?

Suddenly, Ji Yuning remembered what Fang Bai said during the phone call that day - in fact, Auntie wanted to travel around the world, but she never had the chance.

So now is the... opportunity?

After arriving in Hushi, it was Ji Yuning who was picked up by Uncle Li.

The person who said he would pick her up a week ago has disappeared.

Back at the villa, Ji Yuning went straight upstairs and walked into Fang Bai's bedroom.

His gaze scanned every corner of the room, and some of Fang Bai's frequently used items had indeed disappeared.

Ji Yuning went to the closet in the bedroom again, which contained Fang Bai's usual clothes, but now the closet was empty.

Wu Mei, who followed Ji Yuning upstairs, saw Ji Yuning like this, and asked in puzzlement: "Xiao Ji, what's the matter? The lady will be back after a few days of travel."

Ji Yuning lowered her eyes.

Are you coming back in a few days?

So why is she so anxious?I always feel that I will... never see each other again.

Seeing that Ji Yuning was silent, Wu Mei recalled what Fang Bai had told her before she left. Wu Mei made a figurine and said to Ji Yuning, "Xiao Ji, the birthday present that miss prepared for you is in your room." .”

After finishing speaking, Wu Mei added: "Miss also specially told me not to let me into your room, and let you unwrap those presents yourself."

Ji Yuning's eyes dimmed, and she said to Wu Mei, "I see."

attic.

Ji Yuning pushed open the door and saw the box on the coffee table.

A pink gift box tied with a bow.

The corners of Ji Yuning's mouth were tense, pursed into a straight line, and the eyes were full of hostility.

She stared at the box for nearly 5 minutes before taking the lid away in silence.

The room is well heated, Ji Yuning is wearing cotton clothes, it should be very hot, but after seeing the things in the box, the coolness continuously rises from the soles of her feet.

At the top of the box are three cards.

Two of them belonged to Fang Bai, and although the other one had not been seen for a long time, Ji Yuning recognized that it was given to Fang Bai by Lu Xia.

Under the card is a red booklet with the words "property certificate" printed on it.

Ji Yuning secretly gritted her teeth, picked it up and opened it. As she expected, her name was written on the head of the household, and the building it belonged to was the villa under her feet.

At the bottom, there is a greeting card.

Ji Yuning put the real estate certificate and card aside, and reached out to pick up the greeting card.

Just when Ji Yuning hadn't opened the greeting card for a long time, Yuan Yizhen called, "Sorry, it seems that Miss Fang's itinerary has been deliberately hidden, except for the original destination, I can't find anything else arrive."

Ji Yuning knew Yuan Yizhen's ability, but she couldn't find it out, which only showed that Fang Bai was on guard and didn't want them to check it out.

"No need to check."

"Okay." Yuan Yizhen said after hesitation, "But I found out that before Miss Fang left... she met Lu Xiaomei."

"..." Ji Yuning's face became gloomy.

After ten seconds, the phone hung up.

All the wealth was given away, and even the house was stamped with someone else's name, so it didn't look like he was going back.

The world is so big, she may settle down in a city with convenient transportation, or spend the rest of her life in an unknown town.

Will she come back?

The greeting card in his hand seemed to be stained with poison, and Ji Yuning's fingers were stiff, extending to his limbs, and even breathing became difficult.

Exhausting her last strength, Ji Yuning opened the greeting card with one index finger.

Only four words were written on it: [Happy birthday. 】

The graceful handwriting is as sharp as a sharp knife at this moment, slashing across Ji Yuning's whole body one by one, and at this moment she is completely bruised.

His breathing became weak, and the shoulders and back that had been straight since he entered the door collapsed instantly when he saw these four words.

She is sitting on the sofa.

Motionless, like an object.

I don't know how long it took, but in the dead silent room, a lively voice suddenly came out: "Meow~"

The cat meowing drove away a little bit of the dead air.

Beibei squeezed into the room through the crack of the door, it smelled Ji Yuning's smell, following the smell, it walked to Ji Yuning's side, and jumped into her arms.

Ji Yuning lowered her head, her thin lips moved, but no sound came out.

Beibei looked at Ji Yuning with round eyes.

One person and one cat stared at each other.

Ji Yuning brushed her dry lips with the tip of her tongue, and her lips moved, but the effect was minimal.

After several more attempts, Ji Yuning finally uttered a word through her teeth, "She,"

Hearing the sound, Beibei straightened her body a little, and rubbed her head against Ji Yuning's face.

Moist.

Its fur is glued together.

Beibei's head was far away, it stared at Ji Yuning's face, when its eyes caught the culprit, it stuck out its tongue, and licked off the crystal that had slipped to the tip of Ji Yuning's chin.

A little salty.

Ji Yuning's eyes were foggy, and she couldn't see anything clearly.

Relying on her blurred figure, she pressed her hand on Beibei's head, like a child who has not reflected on her mistakes, and spoke out what she hadn't said.

Ji Yuning murmured: "She doesn't want you either?"

Another tear fell.

...she doesn't want me anymore.
