Ch 76

 Ji Fanling is not here.

  Fu Yingcheng stepped into the snow and didn't see her in the outdoor plastic shed. He was about to send a message when he suddenly heard shadowy voices coming from behind the house.

  Fu Yingcheng looked around. Between the two shops, behind a short dark narrow alley, under the eaves, the girl's back was turned to him, sitting on a plastic stool, absentmindedly playing with her mobile phone.

  The high school student wearing a short cotton jacket squatted in front of her, feeling helpless: "Sister, you can tell me what conditions you have."

  Ji Fanling sighed.

  Fu Yingcheng came closer and saw her put down her phone and raised her chin: "You want me to say?"

  "You say, you say."

  "Although last time, I did go to eat with Fu Yingcheng "Jiangjia Noodles."

  In the narrow alley, the dark leather shoes stepped on the thin snow on the ground, and the steps subconsciously stopped.

  Jiang Baixing didn't know why she mentioned this: "Yes."

  "It was... a special situation. Fu Yingcheng helped me a lot. Just like helping you, I also owe him money."

  The girl spoke quickly Very slowly, the words are clear in the night wind.

  "But other than that," she said.

  "——Fu Yingcheng and I actually have nothing to do with each other."

  The voice was distant and indifferent, as cold as the thin snow falling from the high night sky into the narrow alley.

  It was as if an invisible whirlpool began to swirl and sweep in, swallowing up all the remaining words and words.

  The world suddenly became extremely quiet, leaving only the heavy sound of heart contraction, the buzzing in the ears like wind and snow, and the sound of slowly retreating footsteps.

  No one spotted him, and no one caught up with him.

  The only thing that caught up was his own words, which were clearly audible and every word was heartbreaking.

  ...

  "She just wants to be equal to others."

  He knew clearly in his heart, but he was easily swayed by other people's casual words and had unrealistic hopes.

  simply.

  Exactly the same as ten years ago.

  Time goes back to 2011, on a Friday night in the first grade of high school.

  In the bookstore, Fu Yingcheng selected a few newly released joint examination papers and material competition books, checked out, and walked out of the bookstore.

  After getting away from the cool air of the air conditioner behind you, the hot summer air suddenly hits your face, giving people the illusion of being in a hot and humid steamer.

  He didn't like the weather, so he walked quickly back along the street carrying a plastic bag and accidentally caught a glimpse of the girl on the street.

  She was wearing a school uniform, with her hands in her pockets, her head lowered, kicking the stones under her feet, and walking aimlessly ahead.

  Fu Yingcheng subconsciously slowed down and followed closely.

  Anyway, it's on our way, and he's not in a hurry.

  After walking dozens of steps, Fu Yingcheng raised his eyelashes and glanced sideways calmly.

  By chance, the lights from the roadside shop illuminated Ji Fanling's snow-white back neck.

  A bright red blood stain was revealed, winding downwards.

  Her heart skipped a beat, Fu Yingcheng's eyelids tightened, and he quickly chased after her, grabbing her arm.

  "...You're bleeding."

  ...

  Because Ji Fanling refused to go to the hospital, Fu Yingcheng could only help her simply treat the wound.

  In fact, for such a serious injury, just cotton swabs and iodine are far from enough. However, Ji Fanling seemed to be very satisfied. He raised his collar and covered his neck: "It's almost done."

  Fu Yingcheng lowered his eyes . , handing her the remaining medicine and cotton swabs.

  Ji Fanling reached out and took it: "Thank you."

  She was about to leave when suddenly she seemed to think of something and asked Fu Yingcheng: "What time is it now."

  Fu Yingcheng turned his wrist and glanced at his watch: "It's almost eight o'clock."

  "Do you have time?"

  Fu Yingcheng's eyebrows relaxed slightly, thinking that she finally figured it out: "Beiwan No. 1 Hospital is not far from here, and we can go there now..."

  Ji Fanling: "That's good, you and I Go somewhere."

  Fu Yingcheng was stunned: "Where?"

  "You'll know when you go."

  Ji Fanling took two steps forward and turned to see him still standing there: "Come?

  " A very sincere invitation.

  The background lights were bright, and the girl stood in the surging crowd and looked at him.

  On the pale face that was slightly sweaty, the pupils were black and white, quiet and weak.

  It was as if he just said no and she left on her own.

  ...

  Fu Yingcheng walked towards her.

  Chapter 25 Fireworks

  Fu Yingcheng followed Ji Fanling, walking down the street one after another.

  They were obviously together, but they seemed to not know each other, and they were about two steps apart.

  It was a busy time on the pedestrian street, with people coming and going on the street and a lot of fireworks. Ji Fanling held a plastic bag in one hand and put it in his pocket with the other, skillfully turning into the alley and walking through the cobweb-like alleys of the old city.

  Occasionally he would stop to see if Fu Yingcheng was following.

  The two came to an abandoned and unfinished building.

  The old iron door was sealed with heavy iron chains and rusty locks. Ji Fanling led him around half a circle and found a broken wire fence behind the building.

  The girl got in easily.

  Although Fu Yingcheng was thin, the hole was still too small compared to the young man's tall frame. It took some effort to get in, but in the end the corner of his coat was scratched.

  Ji Fanling heard the sound of fabric tearing and looked back, but hesitated: "I think you are quite thin..."

  Fu Yingcheng glanced at her coolly.

  Ji Fanling came closer and looked down at the small hole in his coat, as if assessing the financial losses, and said dullly: "I am the only one who knows this place. I have never brought anyone here before. I thought I could get in..."

  Only ... She knows.

  The boy's lowered eyelashes trembled.

  "You can ask your neighbor's grandma to sew it for you." Ji Fanling vowed, "No one will be able to tell..."
