"Then are you scared?"
Lin Jiangwan asked the kid back.
"You know..." The kid stopped talking mid-sentence.
If she didn't know better, she wouldn't have said that just now.
[Don’t you always want to know what she was thinking at the beginning]
Yes, he's always wanted to know.
Lin Jiangwan said: "She is at home now. Just go up and you will get the answer you want."
The kid didn't answer and followed her forward in silence.
Lin Jiangwan said no more. She knew that the kid already had the answer in his heart.
To Xin Yi, one person and one ghost seemed to be playing a riddle.
"I've been here before." Xin Yi said.
Lin Jiangwan turned to look at him: "Two years ago, you were entangled by this little thing here."
Xin Yi opened his eyes in surprise.
He was passing by here when a three-year-old child suddenly fell from the sky. He reached out to catch it without thinking, and narrowly saved the child's life, but also injured his arm.
Later, he retired due to injury and only made a comeback two years later.
There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with this.
"When you go up there later, you will know why this little thing is clinging to you." Lin Jiangwan said.
Xin Yi nodded when he heard this.
Soon, the two arrived at Room 1007 on the 10th floor.
Lin Jiangwan rang the doorbell.
The voice of the hostess, who was about 20 or 30 years old, came from inside: "Who is it?"
Lin Jiangwan: "Hello, express delivery."
The hostess's hesitant voice came from far away: "Express delivery?"
She doesn’t seem to have a courier?
But hearing a girl's voice outside, the hostess opened the door with doubts.
Two young men, a man and a woman, stood outside the door, but neither of them had any express delivery in their hands.
The hostess was surprised and looked at the ground first, but she didn't see the so-called "express delivery".
"Hey, you girl..."
When he looked up again, Li Xiaoxiao was about to complain when he saw the boy's appearance clearly and was a little stunned for a moment: "Benefactor?"
Xin Yi smiled slightly: "Just call me Xin Yi."
He also wondered why Lin Jiangwan brought him here.
Li Xiaoxiao is the mother of the child he saved.
"It turns out to be a benefactor!"
Li Xiaoxiao immediately smiled and said: "Please come in and have a cup of tea!"
Xin Yi looked at Lin Jiangwan.
Li Xiaoxiao noticed this scene and smiled ambiguously at Lin Jiangwan: "Is this the benefactor's target?"
"No, no, we don't have that kind of relationship." Lin Jiangwan explained.
Li Xiaoxiao disagreed: "I understand, I understand."
Xin Yi: "..."
Lin Jiangwan: "..."
She held her forehead secretly, wondering why some people always thought so.
Lu Yinshuo had this assumption, and so did Li Xiaoxiao in front of him.
Since Li Xiaoxiao let down his guard against them, they followed her instructions and went in to drink tea.
After taking two sips of tea, Lin Jiangwan said directly to Li Xiaoxiao: "I wonder if you still remember Gao Zhi?"
"Thunderbolt—pop—"
The tea cup in Li Xiaoxiao's hand fell to the ground and broke into pieces. Her originally smiling and mellow face instantly turned pale.
She twitched the corners of her lips and pretended to be calm: "W-what's the ghat?"
Lin Jiangwan smiled, then turned sideways and spoke to the air: "She doesn't seem to know how to ghat."
Li Xiaoxiao subconsciously followed her gaze and saw nothing wherever he looked.
But inexplicably, her heart began to beat faster, and her whole heart seemed to burst out of her chest.
The kid, Gao Zhi, pursed his lips tightly and looked sad, took the initiative to reveal himself, and suddenly appeared in front of Li Xiaoxiao.
"Ahhhh——"
Li Xiaoxiao was so frightened that he took a few steps back.
Although he is a gray-white ghost, Ghat does not look scary. On the contrary, he is cute and cute.
However, Li Xiaoxiao was still scared out of his wits, showing an expression of extreme fear.
Gao Zhi looked at Li Xiaoxiao's overly frightened look, and a hint of hurt flashed across his dull eyes.
He said: "Mom, don't you remember me?"
Xin Yi's surprised eyes fell on Li Xiaoxiao for a moment, and he didn't quite understand which song he was singing.
But Li Xiaoxiao's reaction didn't look like he was acting, so he chose to watch the show quietly without any intention of expressing an opinion.
Lin Jiangwan had no intention of talking, so she left this short time to mother and son.
Li Xiaoxiao was speechless, sitting on the corner of the sofa farthest from the ghat, shaking his head.
"Mom likes my brother very much." Gao Zhi said injured.
He never understood one thing, why didn't his mother like him? Is he not good enough?
But my younger brother is not good, and my mother is very, very jealous of my younger brother.
And his mother hated him very much. She didn't even give him a good look when he was alive, and she was as afraid of him after his death as she is now.
Gao Zhi didn't understand, he didn't understand what he had done wrong, and he didn't understand why his mother treated him like this.
"Mother."
Ghat shouted softly.
"It wasn't an accident that my brother fell." Gao Zhi tilted his head and looked at Li Xiaoxiao, with a slight smile on his lips.
"My brother jumped down under my guidance." The gray-white child showed a bit of evil.
Li Xiaoxiao stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, looking at Gao Zhi's eyes widened, and two lines of clear tears flowed down his cheeks without nostalgia.
"Why?"
She suddenly became emotional and asked loudly: "Why are you doing this?"
Gao Zhi put away the smile on his lips, pursed his lips and stared at her: "Yes, mom, why are you doing this?"
"..."
Li Xiaoxiao froze as if he had been caught in a freezing rain.
Memories come to mind, taking people back to the past for a moment.
Li Xiaoxiao was sixteen years old that year, a young girl in her prime years.
But she encountered the most tragic thing at the most beautiful age.
One clear summer night, her stepfather broke into her room under the moonlight and ruined her life.
I thought I would get my mother's love and favor, but what I didn't expect was the straw that broke the camel's back.
She is pregnant.
She originally wanted to abort this child that shouldn't exist, but her stepfather and mother found out and locked her up until she gave birth to a ghat.
She hates this child. The name "Ghat" was not given by her, but by her mother. She took her stepfather's surname and added the word "Zhi" to warn her that he was misbehaving with her.
She just thought it was ridiculous.
She lived that disgusting life for four years.
When Ghazi was four years old, his stepfather and mother died in a car accident. She thought darkly, this is really good news that makes people cry with joy.
In order to completely escape this miserable life, she made a major decision.
It was a rainy day. Gao Zhi fell from the ten-story balcony. His blood mixed with the rainwater into a pool of blood, and he died on the spot.
She did it herself.
I still remember the look of disbelief in the child's clear, bright eyes, as if saying: Mom, why are you doing this?
