Hearing the words "I'm so afraid of losing you", Xia Nan's crying paused and her crying became a little lighter.

Ye Chu just lowered his head and patiently wiped her tears. Her tears seemed to be too many to wipe them, which made his heart hurt.

Both of them were silent. Xia Nan cried for a while and was tired. After crying, she became particularly sleepy. Her eyes were a little too open. Ye Chu wiped her face with a towel, took her to the guest room, packed her pillows and quilt: "Go to sleep."

After saying that, he went out for a while, and came back, he found a key and handed it to her: "I'll give it to you. If you are worried, you can lock it up. I won't come in again."

He didn't say anything else and went straight out.

Seeing that he was leaving, Xia Nan wanted to lock the door, but she was tired and sleepy at the moment. She hadn't cried like this for a long time. She felt that the cry just now had consumed all her energy.

I am very tired, but my mind is very clear.

Xia Nan lay in the soft bed, curled herself into a ball, buried in the quilt, and remembered what happened in the toilet just now, and felt a little scared.

Ye Chu... It was because of her tears.

If he didn't stop, he didn't know what would happen next.

She was still a little uneasy when she thought of this, and wanted to get out of bed and lock the door. As soon as she sat up, she touched something hard and thin with her hands. Xia Nan subconsciously picked up the thing and saw it. When she saw it clearly, she was stunned.

It was a photo, which was originally a family photo. There was an old man who smiled kindly and looked like Ye Chu's grandmother. There was also a child in the photo. In terms of outline, it should be Ye Chu when he was a child.

And... the remaining two people were completely painted with red markers, and there were big red crosses on the back. The bright red color was particularly abrupt under the bright light, and it looked a little shocking at first glance.

Xia Nan bit her lip. She guessed that the two people who had been painted, from their figure and outline were... Ye Chu's parents.

How much hatred is it that can make Ye Chu do such a thing? Even if he divorces, he is still a blood-related parent.

Her sleepiness was instantly scared by this photo. At night, in a strange place, she looked a bit creepy with blood-red family portraits.

She sat on the bed and didn't dare to look again. It happened that Ye Chu's knocking sound came from outside the door. Ye Chu might have remembered this: "There is a photo under the pillow, please show it to me, don't look."

Xia Nan replied in a low voice: "I... accidentally saw it."

It took two seconds for Ye Chu's voice to be silent before Ye Chu's voice rang again: "You're scared? I'll open the door to get it."

"……good."

Ye Chu opened the door, and he was actually a little weak. After all, he had just finished a fever, and his face turned pale, but Xia Nan was here, and he didn't show any of it. He just came in and took the photo away. When he was about to leave, Xia Nan called him: "Ye Chu."

Ye Chu stopped and looked at her.

Xia Nan hesitated for a long time, paused, and whispered: "I have thought about some things for a long time, but I still want to tell you."

"you say."

Xia Nan took a deep breath and continued: "Last time in the office, I heard the teachers talk about your family's affairs... Parents may have their own difficulties. As children, try to understand. Maybe we will understand their difficulties only at a certain age. If we cannot understand, don't hate them, don't use their parents' faults to make yourself uncomfortable..."

If a person is full of hatred, he will become a terrible person. I wonder if Ye Chu has become like this now, it will also have the influence of his family. Xia Nan didn't expect Ye Chu to be full of hatred. Although his life was given by his parents, he would have to live his life in the future.

Ye Chu listened to her words, and didn't know what he thought of, and sneered: "Hate?"

He had no emotion in his tone: "This photo was painted when I was very young. I probably hated it at that time, but now I don't hate it anymore."

Seeing his reaction, Xia Nan responded in a naughty voice: "...That's good, by the way, I've always wanted to tell you, to be mournful and changeable." She lowered her eyes and added: "I know that your grandmother's death has a great impact on you, but I... still like your original appearance."

Although he has a bad temper, he is not as paranoid as he is now.

Ye Chu stood there and looked at her, listening to what she said, the reason for taking a long vacation, the background of his family, etc. She should have known it. He didn't ask much about the teachers talking about his family. In fact, he didn't care so much about others knowing about his family affairs, but he was unwilling to talk to others on his own initiative. He felt that he would be like a wild dog who was waving his tail and begging for mercy, and he didn't need other people's sympathy.

It is obvious that Xia Nan may have both hated and sympathized with him now, otherwise she would not have had such a comforting tone.

After a while of silence, Ye Chu's lips curled slightly and his smile was slightly cold. He raised the photo in his hand and asked Xia Nan: "Do you want to hear it? What's happening at my house."

Xia Nan was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Ye Chu would really talk to her about this.

After a pause, she gently said "happy". If you know what happened at home, you can understand the crux of him. That's also good. Ye Chu shouldn't be like this now.

Seeing that she responded, Ye Chu leaned against the wardrobe casually, casually played with the photos in his hand, spoke indifferently, and raised a head of unfamiliar words: "Do you know where you attract me the most?"

Xia Nan looked confused. Ye Chu looked at her expression and raised his eyes slightly. He didn't want Xia Nan to answer this question. He continued: "I have seen many beautiful girls, but you are the only one who makes me like it so much. I never knew why before. Later, I gradually realized that it is not just the objective factors of hands, faces, and the ones you like the most. What you like most is the seriousness and hard work on your body."

"My parents, a typical phoenix man and a peacock woman. My father is also a person from a small county town. He has suffered and been tired. Later, after becoming rich and powerful, his whole body has changed. He has an affair outside and has a mistress, and is full of wealth every day. As for my mother, she grew up with wealth and is full of vanity and only knows how to compare vanity every day. The marriage of these two people has long deteriorated."

Ye Chu's eyes were staring at Xia Nan, with a sarcastic look in his eyes: "You said you want me to understand them. Look, I don't understand this thoroughly? When I was a child, I didn't understand it very much. I was looking forward to my parents' love every day. I don't understand why my parents are different from other people's parents. When I was a child, I tried my best to sign up for various interest classes and competition classes. In junior high school, I finished all kinds of science subjects in high school and won many first places, in sports, and in grades... But they didn't even look at me."

"I gradually realized later that my father regarded me as a sign of his poverty before, which was a shame; my mother thought I was the proof of her blindness, and when she looked at me, she would think of my fickle father, so no matter how hard I tried, they would not look back at me. However, I should also thank them, at least I grew up without worrying about clothing and food. Oh, now I still look very omnipotent. Others say I am a god of learning, and I should thank the foundation I laid for them. No one can do anything without working hard."

The amount of information in Ye Chu's words was too large, and Xia Nan was stunned when he heard it.

It turns out...he grew up like this.

Xiao Yechu couldn't help but look like she was in her mind. She studied hard, participated in competitions, and waited stubbornly for her parents who would never come. For some reason, Xia Nan's heart suddenly felt a little bluntly.

Outsiders can only see his glamorousness, saying that he can achieve good grades without hard work, saying that he is good at playing sports games, and saying that he has high IQ and omnipotent, but no one knows that he has worked hard for these things.

Yes, no one can do anything without working hard.

Everyone else sees his light, but no one sees it. The shadow of his once alone in the dark, so lonely and sad.

"... Later, I enjoyed myself for a few years. When I was in my first year of high school, I had the best time. When I went home to see my grandma, my grandma said, "Let me come to S City to go to school. I don't feel upset. People in S City are simple. I asked me to change the environment and not learn bad things from those people. I had enough of that kind of fun at that time, so I heard from my grandma that I came here alone. She was in poor health and didn't come with me."

"And then, here, I met you."

"Do you know, Nan Nan. For a long time, I didn't know what the meaning of living is, and what the purpose of hard work is. The people in the key class all want to rush out to be that phoenix, but I have seen the phoenix and know what the ending of the phoenix is, and I have no expectations. What's the point of being rich and powerful? People's hearts are lost. Only after living a higher level of life will you realize that it's just that."

His eyes turned red: "I can't see the end of the day, I live in a daze every day. When I first met you, I just thought you were so serious and cute, but later I gradually realized that you were so serious that you were a little stupid. You were serious and stupid. Everything was serious, no matter whether it was big or small, or whether there were any gains or losses.

Your seriousness and unconsciousness attract me, as if seriousness and hard work are never for the sake of results, but just an attitude towards life. It seems that people are born to do this, and they should do everything they want, just to be worthy of themselves.

Only those who have never seen the sinister world will live so innocent and uplifting. Every time I look at you, I feel like I am the one I used to be."

"I am like a rotten wood, and you are like a tender bud. The closer you get, the more you want to care for you. I hope you will always be innocent and pure and white, and always maintain this passion for life. In this way, I, who seems to care for you, will have a day when the dead trees come to spring."

Xia Nan listened in a daze. She actually didn't understand why Ye Chu liked her so much and why she had to. There were so many beautiful and interesting girls around him. It turned out that it was because of this.

When Ye Chu said this, Black Eye looked at her without blinking. She could see her own shadow in his eyes and all his emotions.

Xia Nan's heart trembled slightly with his words unconsciously. She felt that it seemed that it was her first time meeting Ye Chu.

The first time I met the real Ye Chu.

In the past, she and him seemed to be separated by a turbulent river. She stood on one side of the river and he had been swimming here from the other side of the river. She could see him being hit by gravel and hit by broken wood. There were so many difficulties and hardships, but he still tried hard to swim towards her. She didn't understand why.

And now, she finally saw the hesitation and hardship in his eyes, and the desire and yearning in his eyes. He was covered in pain given by the past. Looking at him covered with bruises, pain continued to spread in Xia Nan's chest, and she even wanted to... pull him ashore, wanting to stand with him.

"I'm sorry." Xia Nan clenched the corner of her quilt and spoke softly.

"—I'm sorry to comfort you with self-righteousness if you don't know anything."

Ye Chu did not live with hatred. On the contrary, he lived freely and openly. He just... was too painful to try to catch her like that.

Sorry, it was her bad. She was so late before she realized-

She is his only redemption in the endless dark days.
