Chapter 33 (1/2)

Fang Wencheng was silent. He didn't speak any more. He thought that he hadn't mentioned it.

Xie Ruhe carelessly side head, the window down. Cold air poured into the car in an instant, with a thick moisture. He looked steadily out of the window, a little absent-minded.

For a long time, Xie Ruhe opened his mouth, with a light voice and a light smile.

”When he dies, I'll see him.”

In my impression, Xie Ruhe was beaten by his father Xie Ji not many times.

Others are saying that the Xie family has a habit of drinking. When they are drunk, they lose their humanity and only beat their wives and children. At the end of the small house, there are always men's drunken swearing, things crashing on the ground, women's restrained crying.

Xie Ruhe thinks they're all right, except for ”beating his wife and children”.

Before the second day of junior high school, he had never been beaten by Xie Ji.

Only when Xie Ji is away can there be a moment of peace at home.

In addition, the atmosphere is always depressing, like a suffocating cage. Father decadent like a piece of mud, the mother's face always with a gentle smile, but always tears.

In such a growing environment, Xie Ruhe's temperament became gloomy and quiet. Apart from Ji Xiangning, he doesn't care about anything and doesn't think he will have a future.

He felt that he could not escape from this hell.

Xie Ruhe first found out that Xie Ji was fighting Ji Xiangning. It was the day when he first met Shu Nian and went home with her umbrella.

Introduced by his neighbor's uncle, he skipped class to deliver goods to Li Hong. Busy for a long time, but no harvest, only to see a baffling girl. He is small and has a baby face that will be bullied at a glance, but he seems to think that he can save the world.

Walking out of the residential area, only one street lamp was installed on the secluded path. It was dark and quiet all the way, and there was no one but him. All the way to the end, I saw a house with a faint light in the window.

Xie Ruhe looked at the house, while walking through the pocket, but only turned out a piece of sugar.

Only then did he remember that he didn't carry the key when he went out.

Xie Ruhe put the sugar back in his pocket, went to the door and knocked three times.

There was the sound of footsteps, light and rapid.

The door was opened.

Ji Xiangning stood in the porch, with a dry towel in his hand, and his eyes were all red. Her hair was a little messy, and her body was covered with long clothes and trousers.

”Ah ho is back.” She said in a dumb voice.

Xie Ruhe nodded, put the umbrella on the top of the shoe rack, and silently took off his shoes.

Ji Xiangning handed the towel to him, and his voice was a little rustle more than usual, with some difficult meaning: ”take a bath first, mom will talk to you later.”

Hearing her tone, Xie Ruhe's eyelids moved.

The house was very quiet, except for the snoring from the master bedroom when Xie Ji was asleep, there was no other sound. The warm yellow light didn't make the old and narrow house warm.

Xie Ruhe looks at her like thinking.

A few seconds later, he took out the mango jelly from his pocket, wiped it with his clothes and put it into her hand. Looking at Ji Xiangning's eyes, he finally spoke.

The voice is low and dumb, but it is very nice with the natural moistening of youth.

”A sugar, please.”

When Xie Ruhe came out of the bathroom, Ji Xiangning was sitting on the sofa in the living room doing handicrafts.

Her head was drooping, her hair was scattered, and she could still see some white hair in the dim light. Wearing worn-out clothes, compared with previous years, it seems to be more than ten years old.

There is also a hot meal on the table. Xie Ruhe goes to sit beside her. He was about to pick up the chopsticks. The next second, his eyes stagnated and he looked at Ji Xiangning's neck blankly.

Just at the entrance, Ji Xiangning carried the light, but Xie Ruhe didn't notice. At the moment, sitting close to her, although the light was dark, he could still see clearly -

Ji Xiangning's neck was a red mark pinched out.

Xie Ruhe fixed his eyes on her neck and said softly, ”what's the matter with your neck?”

Smelling speech, Ji Xiangning subconsciously covered his neck with his hand, reluctantly said: ”it's OK, you eat it quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold.”

Xie Ruhe lowered his head, his dark eyes reflected the candle in front of him, flickering: ”did my father pinch it?”

Ji Xiangning reluctantly smile: ”your father is drunk...”

”He's not drunk any day.”

“……” Ji Xiangning shook his head and explained for Xie Ji, ”he just misunderstood me. Just explain it. There won't be a second time.”

Xie Ruhe clenched her fist and felt unbelievable about her understatement. She got up and went back to the room.

Soon, Ji Xiangning came in, stood beside him and sighed: ”ah he, if you don't want to stay here, I'll contact your grandfather and send you to him, OK?”Xie Ruhe heard her mention Ji Xinghuai and looked at her: ”are you going?”

”I have no face to go back.” Ji Xiangning wry smile, ”and your grandfather does not like your father, I can't let your father stay here alone, no one to take care of him.”

His mother, desperate for love, became blind and ridiculous.

She always believes that Xie Ji will wake up. It's just a matter of time. As innocent as a little girl.

Xie Ruhe lay on the bed and covered his eyes with his arm: ”forget it.”

“……”

”I have to take care of you.”

Maybe it's because he hurt Ji Xiangning. After he woke up, Xie Ji realized that he was wrong and felt guilty. He didn't drink as much as he used to, and he gradually came back to being a man.

Xie Ruhe doesn't have to skip classes to deliver goods to replace his family.

Later, he heard what shunian said for Xie Ji.

”I didn't help Xie Ruhe or his father. I just don't think we can jump to conclusions. It's a very serious crime. No one can bear it. ”

At least in Xie Ruhe's opinion.

Xie Ji is really a scum, but he will not do such a thing.
