They Regretted it After Their Hearts Turned to Ashes

Sometimes, Luo Zhi is actually curious.

Whether I am a character whose destiny is set in the story, no matter what I do or how I do it, I can never change the established trajectory.

Or he did some heinous thing in his previous life and owed everyone, so he will be punished in this life to repay the debt.

Otherwise, how could a person live like this?

If he did nothing wrong, what is the reason for being hated by everyone he meets, wishing that he would disappear soon?

……

"Xiao Zhi?"

Ren Chenbai held his arm: "Are you okay?"

Luo Zhi lowered her gaze.

He collected himself, suppressed the suddenness, and looked at Ren Chenbai's hand covering his arm.

That slender and powerful hand stopped him cleanly, and the bloody and dusty shirt was even more ugly and dirty to the extreme.

… Until now, Ren Chenbai did not know that Luo Zhi saw what happened that day.

The day after the dim sum was thrown away, Ren Chenbai still came to visit him.

Ren Chenbai has always taken care of Luo Zhi, bringing him comic books and game cassettes, and telling him about the outside world, his brows are gentle and tolerant, as if he was born calm and tolerant.

Ren Chenbai stretched out his hand, stroked his head softly, and told him that the dim sum was delicious.

He couldn't help asking about the details of the stuffing, and after a few seconds of silence showing a little bit of astonishment and embarrassment in those gentle eyes, he changed the topic away as if nothing had happened.

……

Whether it is deceiving oneself or others, or drinking poison to quench thirst, Luo Zhi instinctively does not want to expose Ren Chenbai.

After all, even if it is acting, this is one of the few people in the world who is willing to speak to him properly.

As long as he no longer has contact with Ren Chenbai on any occasion, Luo Zhi can use his ability to deceive himself, so that he can only remember the days in Ren's house that seemed like a dream.

"I saw the hot search... I'm a little worried."

Ren Chenbai said: "Take you home to live for a while, to avoid the limelight."

Luo Zhi shook his head.

I don't know if he caught a cold, but right now he seems to have been stuffed with a piece of pig iron in his brain, shaking most of his brain and causing pain.

It was not a sharp stabbing pain, but a chaotic pain mixed with dizziness, nausea, and sinking of consciousness. Even the temples were throbbing, and a certain blood vessel hidden underneath seemed to be Not necessarily when it will explode.

Luo Zhi can go anywhere.He still has some money, so it's a good plan to live in a hotel for a while, rent a house, or leave the local area to relax.

Only it can't be the Ren family.

He didn't want anything more embarrassing to happen at Ren's house.

For Luo Zhi, this is one of the rare places where he still has warmth and kindness towards him, and he doesn't want to cover up this warmth with new memories.

"Brother Chenbai, thank you." Luo Zhi said, "I don't want to go."

Only now did he realize that he might have a fever, or it might be heat stroke or some other problem. In short, his arms and body were severely weak, and he couldn't break free from Ren Chenbai's hand no matter what.

Luo Zhi was forcibly pulled, and she lowered her head slightly to one side.He found that the breath he exhaled was scalding hot, which made his throat sore and his voice hoarse.

"I'd be sad if I went. And I'd have somewhere to go."

Luo Zhi slowed down and let her vocal cords continue to pronounce: "I have encountered some troubles these days, but the days are not too difficult to survive..."

"Then how?" Ren Chenbai asked softly in his ear.

It was Luo Zhi's injured side of the ear. Most of the time, this side of the ear could not hear things clearly, but these words suddenly penetrated clearly into the eardrum, and continued to penetrate into him with a biting cold air. in the head.

Luo Zhi looked up in a daze.

Ren Chenbai didn't seem to expect that he would hear it, Wen Lang's eyebrows froze for a moment, and then calmed down calmly: "...It's uncomfortable to live outside, and your health is not good. Don't be angry, go back with me. "

His tone is very natural, as if "how can I do it?" is not a question of "the life is not too hard to live", but just a common prefix of the next few sentences.

It seemed that in that inadvertent moment, the frightening icy chill was just Luo Zhi's illusion after burning to the point of confusion.

Maybe it's just an illusion.

If it is rejected by the Luo family, it can be traced back to the original past.Having been bombarded by the whole network, he could also find Jian Huaiyi, the pusher hiding in the shadows behind his back... At least Luo Zhi couldn't think of what he did to offend Ren Chenbai.

He has always been obedient in Ren's family, never causing trouble or messing around, he is almost an invisible and transparent person.

It's really too free, and I just bake cakes and snacks with Ren Chenbai's mother, or find a chance to sneak into the study room, and just read books in it for a day.

There is no business conflict between the Luo family and the Ren family, and Ren Chenbai is the only heir of the Ren family, and he is the standard negative comparison group for those second-generation ancestors who mess around.

Ren Chenbai is the best of their generation, calm and decisive in business, gentle, mature and reliable in private, even Luo Jun will inevitably be compared with him from time to time.

Such a proud son of heaven doesn't need to be like Jian Huaiyi who is always worried about those stolen things, always worrying that everything will be taken away again, so he always has to hang out with Luo Zhi forever.

Luo Zhi tried to pull his arm back twice.

Ren Chenbai still held onto him.

That strength wasn't too strong, but it couldn't be resisted either, at least the current Luo Zhi didn't have enough physical strength to resist.

Ren Chenbai lowered his head slightly, looked at Luo Zhi with his dark eyes, and the shadow of Luo Zhi at this moment was poured out in his eyes.

In a short time, many people nearby have already looked over.

Regardless of other things, Luo Zhi's clothes that he hasn't changed in time are enough to stand out in the mall.

After all, it is also a negative model who is on the cusp of the storm, and it didn't take long for someone to recognize Luo Zhi's face.The hostility in reality is not as daring to love and hate as it is on the Internet, at least for now, no one has rushed up to open a scoop to Luo Zhi, at most they are pointing with disdainful eyes and discussing in a low voice.

But it doesn't feel too good either.

Like what?Like thin threads wound up one after another, strangled into the human skin, and then penetrated into the flesh and blood little by little.

It doesn't hurt even if it hurts, it's just that the alienated and mocking eyes will be engraved in the memory that I didn't realize.

……

Next, when encountering any gaze or any passer-by looking over, this feeling will pop up in an instant.

Ren Chenbai's mother kept a lot of books on psychology in the study room, Luo Zhi flipped through a few of them, he remembered that he couldn't focus on the surroundings at such a time, so he shook his dizzy head vigorously , raised his eyes to look at the figure in front of him.

"Brother Chenbai, I'm not feeling well." Luo Zhi said, "I want to go to the hospital."

Luo Zhi's voice was almost hoarse, and he didn't know if he had said the words: "Let me go first, wait until you turn around..."

Ren Chenbai let go of his hand, folded his arms and stepped back.

Luo Zhi was stunned for a moment, his vision had started to be a little blurry now, like a layer of white mist, but he could still clearly see the arm that Ren Chen was holding in his arms.

There were already many pointing people around, but Ren Chenbai obviously didn't intend to handle it for him.

...When this idea came up, Luo Zhi even smiled self-deprecatingly.

He always has some unrealistic fantasies about the people and things around him.Among these fantasies, the most self-righteous and brazen part is probably all about Ren Chenbai.

Luo Zhi also didn't know his attitude towards Ren Chenbai.

Maybe it's an older and reliable friend that I have relied on since I was a child, maybe it's the best standard I want to pursue in my mind, or maybe it's the only remaining obsession about "home".

He wisely didn't look up, gave up checking the other person's eyes, and just walked towards the elevator step by step while holding on to the railing.

Ren Chenbai stood behind him, watching Luo Zhi staggering down the escalator.

Luo Zhi subconsciously groped and walked slowly, passed through the crowd, and disappeared outside the shopping mall.

……

Luo Zhi walked to the parking lot.

He was so uncomfortable that he couldn't stand up anymore, and he couldn't open the car door after repeated attempts, only then remembered that he hadn't unlocked it.Finally, he found the key from his pocket, but his weak and trembling fingers could no longer withstand the last bit of force.

The key fell from his fingers and slid under the car.

Luo Zhi squatted down.

Fever is also a little bit good.

The high-heat chaos swallowed up all emotions, and he didn't even feel any irritability because of this series of troubles, he just bent down and tried to reach out to fish.

The key was just a few centimeters beyond the limit of his fingers' reach.

Luo Zhi patiently tried little by little. He curled up in the shadows, his hot forehead pressed against the cold metal of the car body, and the coldness of the garage caught the coolness in his bones and fled away shivering.

A hand picked up the key for him.

Ren Chenbai put his arm around Luo Zhi, let him rest on his shoulder, fished out the bunch of keys with his right hand, and handed it to Luo Zhi.

His movements and strength were so gentle that Luo Zhi almost recalled in a trance that when they were young, Ren Chenbai held himself outside who was suffering from heat stroke, and fed him iced mung bean soup with white sugar little by little.

... Memories and tenderness are all on the point.

Ren Chenbai handed him the key, and stepped back, waiting for Luo Zhi's next move.

It took Luo Zhi a little extra time to realize the subtext of this action a little slowly, "If you don't go back with me, then figure out your own way, and I won't care about you."

Of course you cannot drive in this state.

In fact, you should not come to the parking lot, you should directly hail a car on the side of the road.But he couldn't move his mind anymore, he just instinctively wanted to stay as far away from that place as possible.

Luo Zhi raised his thick eyebrows soaked in cold sweat, he lowered his eyes, and smiled at Ren Chenbai.

Luo Zhi helped the station to stabilize, and thanked softly.

For some unknown reason, Ren Chenbai stood in front of him and stared blankly at him for a moment.

Luo Zhi didn't let go of this gap, he didn't care whether he was embarrassed or not, he pressed the key to unlock, pulled the hands and feet of the door and crawled in, and then quickly closed the door.

Luo Zhi locked the doors and windows of the car, waved his hand at Ren Chenbai, who was hiding anger in his astonished gaze, and put down the sun visor.

After doing this action, he also used up his last bit of strength.

Luo Zhi's vision was completely darkened, and before he even had time to adjust to a more comfortable posture, his body quietly limp on the steering wheel.
