The water in the ocean is bubbling. We live on the continent. If we change to another environment, we will die. So, I would rather stay in my own world, guarding my friends and the people I like. That's enough. But it's not possible. Many natural and man-made disasters are beyond our expectations. The world begins to collapse and I have nowhere to call home.

The situation at school is the same as at home, with one problem after another.
I had just finished collecting homework and was coming out of the office when I suddenly saw a circle in front of me. I vaguely heard Ling Haochen arguing with the school director. I ran over, pushed through the crowd, and saw Ling Haochen rushing over with his eyes wide open and punching the school director.
I was shocked: "Ling Haochen!"
The other students were so scared that they took several steps back. The school director covered his eyes and fell to the ground, pointing at Ling Haochen: "Get out! The school has already expelled you! Get out!"
"Do you think I want to stay in this crappy school?" Ling Haochen cursed as he took off his school uniform and threw it on the ground, then strode away.
"Ling Haochen!" I called his name, but he didn't stop.
I didn't know what happened, but I was really worried about him. I didn't care about the principal and chased after him. On the playground, I caught up with Ling Haochen.
"Ling Haochen, wait for me, what happened?"
"Don't follow me!" Ling Haochen stopped, turned his head and roared.
I was at a loss for words: "I... I'm worried..."
"It never ends." Ling Haochen said coldly.
I choked up and said, "I'm worried about you."
"Don't follow me and don't ask! Are you annoying?" Ling Haochen turned around and shouted angrily.
I looked at him, saying nothing, trying hard to hold back the tears in my eyes.
Seeing my expression, Ling Haochen stopped talking and turned away.
I didn't chase after her. Yes, Ling Haochen, if you tell me to shut up, I will shut up. If you tell me not to chase after her, I will not chase after her. I can listen to you in everything, but when you are not angry, can you come back?
I can wait for you.
For a period of time afterwards, I was waiting for Ling Haochen to come to me. But I seemed to be wrong. Ling Haochen beat up the school director, but I didn't hear that he was punished in school. This was such an abnormal thing.
I thought about going to Ling Haochen's classroom to check on him, but I was afraid that his mood had not recovered yet.
I pounded my head on the table in frustration, and the teacher on the podium showed me great concern: "Student Ji, if you have a headache, go outside and get some fresh air, okay?"
"Okay." I replied quickly.
The teacher's face darkened and he said, "Get out."
I immediately stood up and walked out, completely ignoring the strange looks in the classroom behind me.
Standing in the classroom as a punishment was a good opportunity for me to secretly go to Ling Haochen's classroom to check on the situation. I tiptoed upstairs, found Ling Haochen's class, and secretly observed the situation inside from the window.
Ling Haochen was not in the classroom at all. How could he not be in the classroom ? Was he really expelled from school?
I was extremely worried, and during lunch time, I called Mu Shaobai to make an appointment, but he didn't answer my call. My intuition told me that something must have happened.
I ran to the cafeteria and found Mu Shaobai and Yang Yanxiao eating in a corner.
I walked up to them with the food and sat down.
Yang Yanxiao looked at Mu Shaobai and joked, "The little girl is a bit haunted."
I got straight to the point and asked, "Where's Ling Haochen?"
Yang Yan laughed and said, "I was expelled from school, ah——" Then he cried out in pain and stared at Mu Shaobai, "Why did you step on my foot?"
"Eat more and talk less." Mu Shaobai said coldly.
Yang Yanxiao could only shut up.
I asked Mu Shaobai: "What do you mean?"
Mu Shaobai ate naturally and replied calmly: "It's nothing, so don't ask so many questions."
"Does this matter have anything to do with me?" I asked with a smile.
Mu Shaobai didn't answer me, and Yang Yanxiao shook his head at me.
I took the chopsticks from Mu Shaobai and slammed them on the table. "Then tell me, I'm worried about Ling Haochen. Are you two friends? Or have you four been together from the beginning, and I, a temporary addition, am not considered your friend at all?"
"No, it's not like that." Yang Yan smiled and tried to smooth things over.
Mu Shaobai pushed the plate away and finally looked me in the eye: "Qing Nian, give up."
This is the funniest joke I've ever heard. Give up? That's not what Mu Shaobai said on the phone that night.
"Do you mean to go back on your word?" I looked at Mu Shaobai calmly.
Mu Shaobai's expression changed slightly, and he said, "We are all doing this for your own good. Your grades have dropped a lot because of us, and your teacher and your father..."
"I'd love to." I interrupted Mu Shaobai and said word by word.
After saying that, I stood up and left without even having time to eat.
At the edge of the playground, I walked very quickly, my heart felt like it was being pressed down by a heavy rock, making it hard to breathe.
Mu Shaobai meant well, why was I angry? I don't even know.
I have less and less interest in studying. When a person gradually drifts away, you can weigh his position in your heart.
In the evening, I turned on the TV, tuned to the sports channel, turned up the volume to the maximum, and then lay on the sofa bored and read comic books.
"Ji Qingnian, turn down the TV volume." Ma Wenjuan was washing clothes in the bathroom.
I pretended not to hear, put down the comic book, and played with my phone. I kept checking Ling Haochen's circle of friends and his Weibo. He didn't update anything, not even the one he usually liked to show off his motorcycle.
I sighed, but didn't dare to chat with him.
"Bang!" The TV was turned off. Ma Wenjuan, wearing an apron and with her hands on her hips, stared at me like a tigress.
I was too lazy to pay attention to her, so I turned over and closed my eyes.
Ma Wenjuan said bitterly behind me: "Wait until your father comes back to discipline you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door lock turned. Ji Dahai opened the door, changed his shoes, walked over to pour a glass of water, and asked, "Niannian, have you finished your homework?"
I sat up, smoothed my messy hair, and continued playing with my phone: "No."
Ji Dahai snatched the phone from my hand, and there was a picture of Ling Haochen on the screen. Although Ji Dahai was old-fashioned, he was also a smart man. He guessed what I was thinking and said, "I'll take your phone away. Go do your homework. I'll pick you up from school in the future."
"Dad, I'm not a child." I looked at him in confusion.
"You'd better improve your grades first, otherwise forget about playing with your phone." Ji Dahai said sternly.
I was too lazy to argue with him, so I stood up angrily holding the pillow, ran straight to my bedroom, and slammed the door. Ma Wenjuan's voice came from outside the door: "Look at the good daughter you raised!"
I originally thought Ji Dahai was just joking, but I didn't expect him to be serious and actually drive me to school every morning.
I couldn't persuade Ji Dahai, and I didn't want to have an unpleasant experience with him in front of everyone, so I could only get in the car and let Ji Dahai take me to school. But over time, I became numb, and I felt that the person who opened the cage had locked me back in, and I couldn't escape. I was very surprised, and I really wanted to escape.
I miss Ling Haochen and Luo Qiqi so much.
After school today, I happened to meet Luo Qiqi at the school gate. Just as I was about to call her, I found Ji Dahai staring at me. Luo Qiqi also noticed me and Ji Dahai.
I said, "Dad, that's my friend."
Ji Dahai said, "Get in the car."
I had no choice but to walk slowly towards the car. While Ji Dahai was not paying attention, I turned around and mouthed to Luo Qiqi: "Save me..."
Then, Ji Dahai stuffed me into the car.
In the car, I asked Ji Dahai: "Dad, you pick me up like this, don't you go to work?"
Ji Dahai was very smart and said, "I'll send you home and then go to work. Don't even think about running away. I'll work overtime today, but I'll let your mother watch you and not let you step out of the room."
I lazily lay in the back seat and said, "I'm not going. I'm so sleepy."
Ji Dahai didn't say anything else and drove attentively. After he sent me home, he went to work overtime at the company. I didn't give Ma Wenjuan a good look, and I didn't want to eat. I ran directly into my bedroom: "I'm sleepy and need to rest."
Ma Wenjuan doesn't care about me and is happy to have her free time. She won't knock on the door with good intentions and say, "Baby, come out for dinner." I'm not Ji Ming.
I don’t know if Luo Qiqi noticed what I was saying. I pressed the switch on the desk lamp out of boredom and began to imagine that Luo Qiqi could come to rescue me on a colorful cloud. When that happens, I will definitely give her the title of “Colorful Cloud Heroine”.
It was so cheesy, I couldn't help but laugh.
As the sky gradually darkened, sleepiness slowly set in. I yawned from time to time, looked at the clock from time to time, and when I finally couldn't hold on any longer, I decided to go to bed and rest.
"Knock..." Something is knocking on my window.
I walked over curiously and pulled open the curtain.
"Ah..." I exclaimed, and Mu Shaobai outside the window quickly made a "silence" gesture. Oh my God, this is the third floor, how did he get up there?
I walked over, opened the window, and looked down. Luo Qiqi and Yang Yanxiao looked up at me from below. There was an escalator leaning against the wall below.
"Let's go, I'll take you to see Ling Haochen." Mu Shaobai said.
I nodded, and then something occurred to me: "Wait."
I ran to the closet, stuffed the one-meter-tall teddy bear into the quilt, and then climbed onto the windowsill. Mu Shaobai went down the escalator first, and I stepped on the air conditioner outdoor unit, put the curtains in place first, and then closed the windows.
I stepped carefully on the air conditioner, and under Mu Shaobai's protection, I climbed over the balcony, the air conditioner and the water pipe, stepped on the escalator that was only two stories high, and jumped down.
It's so exciting, it feels like a prison break.
Luo Qiqi pulled me and said, "Let's go."
I followed Luo Qiqi and the others onto the bus. There were only a few of us on the bus. As soon as we sat down, we couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Luo Qiqi laughed and said, "Nianzi is so cute when she is being controlled by her father, hahaha, she asked me for help... and thought I didn't react, how funny!"
"Stop laughing!" I patted Luo Qiqi's thigh and said embarrassedly, "Where are we going next?"
"Don't you want to see Ling Haochen? He is by the river in Baku Village." Luo Qiqi replied.
When the bus arrived at Baku Village, Luo Qiqi and the others did not get off.
Luo Qiqi leaned on the car window and looked at me: "Nianzi, you must be fine."
I waved to her and the bus started.
I walked forward a few steps and saw Ling Haochen leaning on his motorcycle with a sad look on his face.
"Ling Haochen." I walked towards him, but didn't dare to get too close to him. I was afraid that his wounds had not healed yet, and would be torn apart again once he saw me .
Ling Haochen slowly shifted his gaze to me and said in a hoarse voice: "Come here."
I walked over slowly and stood in front of him. I didn't realize Ling Haochen was already so tall. He sighed softly, slowly lowered his head, and finally rested his head on my shoulder.
My heart was pounding, and I could feel Ling Haochen's breath on my neck, itchy and a little ambiguous.
I reached out and gently patted Ling Haochen's shoulder. The two of us were silent until then, and no one said a word.
After a long while, Ling Haochen raised his head and asked, "Where do you want to go? I'll take you for a ride on my bike."
I smiled and said, "Go up the overpass and go straight along the Third Ring Road."
Ling Haochen took off his helmet, threw one to me, then turned over and got on the motorcycle, saying, "Sit in the back and hold me."
I sat obediently behind Ling Haochen, feeling a strange emotion in my heart. I slowly reached out my hand, thought for a few seconds, and gently supported Ling Haochen's waist.
Ling Haochen drove very steadily, not impatient at all. After getting on the overpass, the evening wind became a bit biting. It was autumn. I slowly moved forward, put my arms around Ling Haochen's waist, hugged him, and then gently pressed against his back.
Ling Haochen's back was very warm, so warm that it made people want to fall asleep.
The lights on both sides kept receding, and I rubbed Ling Haochen's back gently, feeling like I was racing against time.
"Ling Haochen, let's go back and apologize to the director and return to school, okay?" I leaned against his back and muttered to myself.
Ling Haochen parked the car on the side of the road without saying anything.
I got out of the car, took off my helmet, looked at Ling Haochen, and asked, "Okay? I... I'm used to having you."
Ling Haochen slowly turned his head and looked at me in a daze.
With tears in my eyes, I said, "I think I can't leave you. If you're not here, I really don't know what I should do. Can we go back?"
Ling Haochen was silent for a long time, then suddenly reached out and held me in his arms, afraid that he would lose me if he wasn't careful. He hugged me, patted my head gently, and said nothing.
I felt even sadder and threw myself into his arms.
I don't want to leave. I don't want to leave.
Time, please don’t go too fast. I want to accompany this boy well, this boy who has a story that I don’t know.
Ling Haochen finally spoke, his tone was gentler than ever before. He smiled and said, "Silly boy, after the embarrassing moment I met you outside the toilet, I thought of the little girl I met when I was a child. I saw with my own eyes that she tried to steal oranges from the orange tree by the river, and then fell down. I ignored my own danger and jumped down to pick her up. She was so scared that she cried loudly. What a coward." At this point, Ling Haochen laughed twice, expressing his helplessness towards the gentleness of time and the cruelty of reality.
I sobbed, feeling very wronged: "So, you recognized me a long time ago?"
Ling Haochen smiled and said, "Of course, you are stupid and forgot about me."
"I didn't," I corrected.
"Okay, okay, no, we didn't." Ling Haochen patted my head lovingly.
That night, I got home very late. Ling Haochen sent me up to the house and waved to me from under the window. He said, "Goodbye."
But once you say goodbye, you will definitely see each other again.
Didn’t we agree to say goodbye?
When I woke up the next day, I went to the classroom to look for Ling Haochen, but I still didn't see him. I called him, but his phone was turned off; I paid for his phone bill, but he didn't answer.
"Liar!" I cursed fiercely, holding the phone.
Didn’t we agree to say goodbye?
Those who don’t keep their words are liars!
I called Mu Shaobai again, but he was avoiding me intentionally or unintentionally. I was so angry that I went straight to Mu Shaobai's classroom to find him.
Seeing that I was coming in a threatening manner, Mu Shaobai first comforted me, then pulled me down the stairs and asked, "What's wrong with you? I really don't know where Ling Haochen is."
"Then tell me, what happened to Ling Haochen before, and why did he beat the principal at school?" I had to get to the bottom of it.
"Even if you knew, there is no solution." Mu Shaobai didn't want to tell me yet.
I snorted coldly and said, "Okay, if you don't tell me, I'll go find the school director myself." After that, I turned and left. Mu Shaobai grabbed my arm and sighed.
He walked a few steps, put his hands on the railing, and asked, "Do you remember Uncle Hua?"
"I know," I said.
Mu Shaobai continued, "When Uncle Hua was a police officer, the school director's son made a mistake and went to jail. He once brought gifts and red envelopes to Uncle Hua to beg him, but Uncle Hua refused the bribe and rejected the school director. Later, every time Ling Haochen invited parents, it was Uncle Hua who went. Uncle Hua begged the school director many times in a humble manner not to let Ling Haochen drop out of school, but the school director not only refused, but also humiliated Uncle Hua. It was because Ling Haochen knew these things that he went to the school director to argue, and in desperation he beat him up."
"But the principal is clearly at fault in this matter. Why would he take revenge on someone else?"
I am indignant.
Mu Shaobai sneered, "You think so, but he doesn't. He finally has a chance to take revenge on Uncle Hua, how can he not seize it?"
When I heard this, I was so upset that I decided to go find the school principal.
"Qingnian, where are you going?" Mu Shaobai shouted behind me.
I didn't answer him and went straight to the teaching office. I knew the seriousness of the matter and would not be so stupid as to barge in without courtesy.
When I knocked on the door and went in, the school director still had a Band-Aid on the corner of his eye.
When he saw it was me, he probably understood my intention and spoke without waiting for me to say anything: "It's you, what's the matter? Do you want to plead for Ling Haochen?"
"Yes." I stood in front of the principal politely, "I want to plead for Ling Haochen. Principal, you have always been very kind to us. You will not have the heart to expel a student like this, right?"
The school director stopped what he was doing and said, "Don't be naive. Ling Haochen is out dealing with people in society, he doesn't study hard at school, and he even beats up his teacher. Do you think the school will keep him?"
"But doesn't the school motto say that we will never give up on any student? You should know Ling Haochen's family situation better than anyone else, right?" I was anxious and a little excited.
"What do you mean?" The school director's eyes became sharp.
"Director." Mu Shaobai appeared at the door.
"What's the matter?" The school principal's attitude was a little bad.
Mu Shaobai walked over with a stack of documents in his hand: "I need your signature on the documents regarding students' internship at the ecological agriculture company." After saying that, Mu Shaobai put the documents on the table, put his hands behind his back, and motioned for me to hurry up.
While the principal was looking at the documents and signing them, I turned and left the teaching office.
After returning to the classroom, Mu Shaobai sent me a text message: "Don't worry, I'm here."
With him here, rest assured...
I don't know who to trust. Mu Shaobai can really make people feel at ease. Forget it. If I can meet Ling Haochen again, I will meet him again.
I forced myself to stop thinking about Ling Haochen, hoping that one day God would arrange for him to be by my side so that I could reunite with him. That would be good too.
During the last class in the afternoon, Ji Ming ran to the classroom door and shouted, "Sister!"
I put down my pen and explained the situation to the teacher, and the teacher asked me to go out and talk.
As soon as I went out, Ji Ming grabbed my hand and said anxiously, "Mom was hit by a car and her leg was injured. She is now in the hospital. I called Dad, and he came to see her, paid the bill, and went back to work."
I felt depressed because so many things were happening at the same time.
I asked for leave from my teacher and asked Ji Ming to wait for me at the hospital. I ran to the restaurant to buy some nutritious soup and rushed to the hospital.
Ma Wenjuan was lying on the hospital bed with her right leg in a plaster cast. She was a little surprised to see me.
I put the soup down and called to Ji Ming: "Come and serve soup to your mother."
"Okay." Ji Ming did as I said obediently.
I walked to the bedside, helped Ma Wenjuan to shake the bed up, and asked, "How did you do that?"
Ma Wenjuan was not used to me treating her like this, and said awkwardly, "I went out to buy groceries, and was hit by an Audi on my way home. You said that person had the money to buy an Audi, but why couldn't he get out of the car and take me to the hospital? He just drove away in disgrace."
I tucked Ma Wenjuan in and said, "You are not careful. Are you chatting with the aunties while walking and making plans to play mahjong?"
As if she had been hit on the mark, Ma Wenjuan got angry and said, "No, why are you always so mean? Although I'm not your biological mother, I'm still your father's wife, right? I'm lying in the hospital with a serious injury and can't move easily, and you're still making sarcastic remarks?"
"Okay, you are the injured one, and you are the boss." I glanced at Ji Ming and said, "Feed the boss some soup."
Ji Ming scooped up a spoonful of soup and said, "Mom, come."
Ma Wenjuan took a sip and praised, "Good boy." Then she turned her head and asked me, "Is it poisoned?"
I said, "Three ounces of arsenic."
Ma Wenjuan was drinking the soup Ji Ming fed her, pointing at me and saying, "You ungrateful bastard."
Ma Wenjuan was a patient, so I didn't mind her words. Looking at Ma Wenjuan with a plaster cast on her calf, I suggested, "Let me massage your thigh to promote blood circulation."
Ma Wenjuan nodded.
I pinched her thigh , rubbed it gently, and asked, "Did my dad leave after paying the money?"
When I said this, Ma Wenjuan became very unhappy. She opened my hand and said, "Your father, do you still expect him to come and see me? Come on, he works overtime at the company every day, and he only cares about you when you have something to do. Has he ever cared about me and Ji Ming? My foot is injured like this, and he doesn't even take a leave to come and see me. How can he be a husband?"
I remained silent and did not argue. Ma Wenjuan was right. Ji Dahai had indeed done something wrong in this matter.
I called Ji Ming: "Take good care of your mother. I'm going to call Dad."
After saying that, I walked out of the hospital. Ma Wenjuan was still accusing Ji Dahai of various wrongs.
I walked to the hospital corridor and dialed Ji Dahai's phone, but it was turned off.
I thought about it, and then I went into the ward and said, "Ji Ming, you stay here first. I'm going to go to my father's company."
Ma Wenjuan sneered: "It's no use looking for it in the company."
I didn't answer. After giving Ji Ming some instructions, I left the hospital and hailed a car.
"Master, go to the star Tianan."
Fifteen minutes later, the taxi stopped at the Tiananmen Gate of Hengxing. I paid and got out, and walked directly to the security room: "Excuse me, is Manager Ji here?"
The security guard looked up at me and said, "Looking for Manager Ji? He's working overtime in the general manager's office on the second floor."
"Thank you." I thanked him and walked to the general manager's office on the second floor.
Other people in the company had already left work, and only Ji Dahai's office had the light on and the door was ajar.
I pushed the door open and said, "Dad."
Ji Dahai saw that it was me, rubbed his eyes, and asked, "Why are you here?"
"I just came from Ma Wenjuan's place. Why do you work overtime so late every day?"
Ji Dahai bent down and turned the electric stove under his feet, and said, "It's almost the end of the year, and work is getting busier. Did you go to the hospital after school? Where's your homework? Have you finished it?"
I said, "I missed my last class and haven't done my homework yet."
Hearing this, Ji Dahai frowned, stopped typing, and said, "Then why are you here? Go home and do your homework. You've already fallen behind on your studies, and you're here for me. I see. I'll go see her when I'm free. I'll stay at the hospital tonight. You can go home and cook for yourself. Let me check your homework tomorrow."
Ji Dahai directly blocked what I was going to say. We finally had some time to talk, but in the end...
I stood up from the sofa: "Then I'll go back."
When I reached the door, I turned around and said, "Dad, I'm going back to my hometown on New Year's Day. The 2nd is grandma's memorial day."
Ji Dahai replied, "Yes, I forgot about it. You can buy some more food for grandma to cook. Dad is busy, so he won't go."
I left the company without saying anything else.
It was already completely dark, and my mind was in a mess, tangled up in confusion. This was how this family was, if I wanted to take a step forward and shorten the distance between us, they would take a step back and avoid me.
Why do I try so hard to get what I want, but still get rejected and treated coldly?
Ji Dahai is, and so is Ling Haochen.
I passed by a small supermarket and saw a telephone on the counter at the door, so I walked over and said, "Boss, let me make a call."
I have been carrying Ling Haochen’s phone number in my pocket, and my palms are sweating from clenching it.
I seemed to be able to feel his warmth, his care, and everything about him, but I couldn't sense where he was.
After the call was connected, it rang seven times.
It was very noisy over there at Ling Haochen's place, like he was in a disco.
"Hello, who is this?" Ling Haochen shouted at the top of his voice.
I was silent for a while, and just as I was about to speak, I heard Ling Haochen curse in a low voice and then hung up the phone.
It seems that I was just overthinking it all, he seems to be doing well.
I sighed and walked along the road. I could still hear the whistle in my ears, but it seemed so far away, so far away that it didn't seem real.
Since Ling Haochen doesn't want me to disturb him, then I won't disturb him.
The next day, I went home, prepared a meal and went to the hospital to see Ma Wenjuan. Ma Wenjuan was playing games on Ji Ming's tablet, while Ji Dahai was sitting on the sofa next to her, facing the computer, probably still busy with his unfinished work.
"Have some food." I opened the thermal box and took out the food one by one.
Ji Dahai raised his head and asked me, "Have you finished your homework?"
"I came here after I finished the work." I gave Ji Dahai a reassurance.
Ji Dahai nodded, took my phone out of his suit pocket, handed it to me, and said, "Take the phone back first. New Year's Day is in two days, go back to your hometown and burn some paper for grandma."
I nodded and took the phone.
Ma Wenjuan looked at us, then at Ji Dahai, and suggested, "Dahai, take the New Year's Day holiday and go to the amusement park with your son."
Ji Dahai said impatiently: "You are such a grown-up, why are you going to an amusement park?"
Ji Ming, who was playing on his phone nearby, said hurriedly, "Dad, I don't want to go to the amusement park. Can I go to the game hall?"
"You are not allowed to go!" Ji Dahai said sternly, "You just play games every day. Do you know that it is because of playing games that you did not get into a good school?"
Ma Wenjuan put down the tablet and said, "Ji Dahai, why are you so angry? What's wrong with children playing games during the holidays? You didn't allow others to relax when they were studying, and now you don't let them play during the holidays. Are you a fascist?"
"Ma Wenjuan, do you still have the energy to argue?" I said, frowning.
"Just look." Ma Wenjuan turned her head away and sat aside sulking, "I knew you and your daughter were of the same mind. Okay, you have the final say on everything. Whatever I do is wrong."
"Dad is partial." Ji Ming said unwillingly.
Ji Dahai pointed at Ji Ming and said, "If I were partial, I would have taken your phone and tablet away long ago. How could you still be so arrogant and play with them here?"
"Okay, stop arguing." I interrupted them and walked out. "I'll come over to clean up after we finish eating."
I wanted to go out for some fresh air, so I sat on a chair downstairs in the hospital building. It was already winter, and if the weather continued to get this cold, it would probably snow.
I exhaled into my palms and rubbed my hands. The moment I raised my head, I saw Luo Qiqi and Yang Yanxiao sitting not far away.
I was startled and ran over quickly: "Qiqi!"
When Luo Qiqi saw me, she waved at me. I ran up to them with a smile on my face: "Why are you here?"
Luo Qiqi pointed at Yang Yanxiao with her thumb and said, "I don't know what a certain person did, but he had diarrhea so bad that his legs became weak. I was kind enough to bring him to the hospital to see if he would die."
Hearing Luo Qiqi say this, Yang Yanxiao immediately became unhappy: "I say, you have a bad mouth, can't you hope for something good? Why are you so evil?"
"I have a bad heart?" Luo Qiqi yelled, "If I had a bad heart, I wouldn't have brought you to the hospital, and you would have died in the toilet."
"Pfft..." I couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Luo Qiqi looked at me and said quietly, "You have accomplished a great deed by making Nianzi laugh." Then, Luo Qiqi began to ask me about the matter, "Nianzi, what are you doing here?"
"My stepmother's leg was hit by a car."
When Luo Qiqi heard this, she immediately stood up, grabbed my arm, and asked, "Do you want to buy fireworks to celebrate?"
I pushed her away helplessly and sat down beside her: "I'm taking care of her now."
"Ah? You are still taking care of her?" Luo Qiqi looked at me as if I were a fool with a negative IQ.
"My dad is so busy at work and Ji Ming is so young . If I don't take care of him, who will?" I answered absentmindedly, playing with my fingers.
Yang Yanxiao picked his nose and said, "How stupid."
"That's right." Luo Qiqi agreed with him for once.
I lowered my head and said nothing. After a while, I asked, "Qiqi, do you know where Ling Haochen has been recently?"
Luo Qiqi said: "I don't know. He hasn't contacted us for a long time. I don't know if Mu Shaobai knows."
I sighed, stood up and said, "I'll go see Ma Wenjuan first."
Having said that, I walked away.
"Nianzi." Luo Qiqi called me from behind, and then I heard her whispering to Yang Yanxiao, "What happened to Nianzi recently?"
"What else can I do? It's because of Ling Haochen." Yang Yan said with a smile.
I walked quickly to Ma Wenjuan's ward and saw that they had finished eating. I cleaned up and said, "Dad, I'm going back first."
"Okay." Ji Dahai said without raising his head.
I packed my things and went home.
New Year's Day was three days away and the school had three days off. On the night of December 31st, I started preparing to return to my hometown. I planned to stay there until the 3rd and come back.
It takes three hours to take a bus back to my hometown. During the journey, I leaned against the window and slept with a scarf wrapped around my head. In the middle of my sleep, my foot suddenly twitched and I woke up as if I had fallen into an abyss, my heart pounding.
I took a deep breath and looked at the passengers around me who were sleeping. Fortunately, I didn't wake them up.
I couldn't sleep anymore, and the bus soon stopped in City B.
I returned to my hometown, and the furnishings inside were the same as before. I would come back every month to clean it, so it was not dirty. I took all my things with me and went to visit my grandmother's grave first, but when I arrived at my grandmother's grave, I found ashes that had just burned out in front of the grave.
"Who was here? " I looked around but didn't see anyone.
There are no neighbors around my hometown, and we don’t have any relatives here. Who would come?
But I didn't pay much attention to it. Maybe someone was kind enough to burn some paper on my grandmother's lonely . I threw the paper into the fire one by one and said to myself, "Grandma, do you know? When I was a child, you told me that the alien superman would come back. He is back now, but Qingnian seems to think he has changed."
I was silent for a while, then continued, "Grandma, do you know? Actually, it wasn't me who saved the alien superman at that time. I wanted to eat oranges, and when I went to pick them, I accidentally fell into the river, and then he saved me. I was afraid that you would tell on me when I got home, so I lied. Grandma, you won't blame me, right?"
The flame jumped very high. Grandma said that the higher the flame jumped, the happier the deceased was.
I smiled, turned around and walked back, passing by the creek where I met Ling Haochen. The orange trees had been chopped down to stumps, and the creek was full of garbage. It was true that things were different, and how could I expect people to be the same?
Thinking of this, I suddenly heard a crisp car bell sound piercing the sky.
"Ling Haochen!" I was startled and turned around quickly. At the bend in the road, a young man in a white shirt rode a bicycle and flashed to the side.
"Ling Haochen!" I screamed and chased after him. When I reached the bend, the boy and the bicycle had disappeared.
I was filled with anger and cursed, "Ling Haochen, you are such a heartless person! You are so shameless!"
After cursing, my chest heaving, I looked at the road hidden deep in the mountains and forests, and turned back angrily.
"Click——" It felt like something in my heart broke, and the boy and the bicycle were right behind me.
"Ling Haochen..." My eyes suddenly became blurred with tears.
"Idiot." Ling Haochen cursed me and raised his head, "Get in the car."
I wiped my tears, trotted over, and sat on the back seat of the bike. Ling Haochen carried me, pushed the ground with one foot, and the bike drove a long distance forward.
I grinned and looked at his back, with a lot of thoughts in my mind.
