pamper her

Seven years ago, the day Li Mianmian graduated from elementary school, the old lady who raised her passed away.

The old lady was suffering from illnesses, and it was actually not easy to survive to that age.

The family had arranged for the old lady's funeral for a long time, so not long after she passed away, the son and daughter-in-law's family drove back to the mountain village in a van.

It was the same day, it was raining heavily.

Li Mianmian went to school to receive her graduation notice. She didn't have an umbrella, but only wore a tattered raincoat. The road was muddy, wrapping her up like a drowned rat.

When I got home, the yard was full of people, and it was densely packed, all of whom were familiar neighbors in the village.

Li Mianmian didn't know what happened, so she followed the notice in her clothes and walked over slowly.

The surrounding villagers found her and silently made way for her.

She heard many people whispering that she was "poor".

An aunt who was always good to her couldn't bear it and wanted to drag her over to comfort her, but her adoptive father had already spotted her and waved to her from a distance: "Come and kowtow to your grandma."

Li Mianmian walked over, knelt under the eaves, and kowtowed three times to the corpse in the room.

The adoptive parents and their youngest son were standing next to her. Even in the scorching June, Li Mianmian still felt cold with those eyes.

Li Mianmian couldn't remember what happened afterwards.

Maybe it was because of the rain, or maybe it was because she was frightened by the corpse in the hall. She had a fever that night, and she was alone in her small room, and it took several days to wake up.

After the fever subsided, her first reaction was to find something to eat.

The funeral happened to be held that day, and a shed was set up in the yard, and the whole village was eating the funeral banquet outside. There were still a lot of undelivered dishes in the kitchen, which were delicacies that Li Mianmian could not usually touch.

She hid behind the stove and ate her stomach, quietly walked back along the wall, and when she passed a certain room, she heard people inside seemed to be talking about her.

"Isn't that little girl in your family pretty and smart, how wonderful it will be to be your son's wife in the future!" A woman said, "It's so expensive to marry a daughter-in-law now. It doesn't cost much to raise this one, just give her food, isn't it more cost-effective than marrying another daughter-in-law?"

Then came the voice of the adoptive father: "My son and I think so too."

"Yes!" Another person said, "You have been raising this girl since she was a child. She is almost 12 years old, isn't she? After a few years of junior high school, she can give birth to a baby. Now she doesn't need any money to study. Isn't that a daughter-in-law for nothing? , It’s a pity to throw it away and sell it.”

"Then let's do this first." The adoptive father said, "When we return to the city tomorrow, we will pick her up, and then we will find a way to settle the account, so we can't use our account."

"Isn't that simple? You're like this..."

Li Mianmian felt bewildered and at a loss when she heard them talking.

She didn't want to be someone else's wife and have children after finishing junior high school.

The teachers who came to support teaching in the past said that the outside world is very big, rich and beautiful. As long as you study hard, everyone will be able to go out one day.

Li Mianmian also watched many movies and books in the teacher's dormitory, listened to the teacher talk about high school and university, heard the teacher praise her for her talent in painting, and encouraged her to become an artist in the future...

So many dreams that I once thought could be achieved with hard work have all been shattered because of these words I overheard today.

Her destiny is to be someone else's child bride.

In fact, this is not the first time she has heard these words. Many classmates have made such jokes before.

Li Mianmian knew that it was because the adults in the family told them so that they would make fun of themselves.

It's just that she didn't feel the fear as much as she does now.

When she was sleeping that night, Li Mianmian lay on the bed and tossed and turned, thinking about how she could escape.

Taking advantage of the chaos of the past few days, it is actually not difficult for her to leave this house.

The problem is, how far can she run?

Can she run out of this village?Even if she could, where would she go?How can I eat out to fill my stomach?
After running out, what will she do?Can she continue to study?
These questions tormented her all night. The next day, the aunt who was very kind to her came to her secretly, gave her 50 yuan, and told her to go to the town to find the police uncle, and then find a way to find her biological father. parents.

That was the first time Li Mianmian had the concept of biological parents.

She was really too young when she was trafficked. After so many years, she had no idea of ​​resistance at all. She just felt as if she was born like this, born here, and born unloved.

So Li Mianmian decided to run away that day.

She was heartbroken, thinking of just running away secretly.

Without a car, she can still rely on her legs. As long as she walks to the town, she can take a bus into the city.

In the end, she still couldn't escape.

All the animals in the village woke up early and made a little movement, chickens crowed and dogs barked from house to house. Li Mianmian was quickly taken back by her adoptive father.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the sky didn't light up, only lightning and thunder flashed from time to time.

When Li Mianmian was carried into the yard by his adoptive father, he heard their son crying, probably because he was frightened by Lei.

The adoptive mother came to close the door, gave her a cold look, and said to the adoptive father impatiently: "Just a lesson, be careful, and don't pay for medical expenses."

The adoptive father responded, threw Li Mianmian into her small room, and then squeezed in.

The room was so small, as soon as he entered, Li Mianmian felt that it was difficult to even breathe.

"Little bitch, you are so courageous that you dare to run away. Who taught you?" He reached out to touch Li Mianmian, "Did someone give you money?"

The 50 yuan in his arms was easily found by him.

"Who gave it to you?" He poked Li Mianmian's nose with the money, "If you don't say anything, you stole it!"

Li Mianmian shrank back to the corner, gritted her teeth and said, "I didn't steal it!"

"You didn't steal it? Then where did the money come from?!"

The adoptive father put the money into his pocket, dragged her forward by her ankles, raised his hand and beat her, cursing, "Shameless thing! Be a thief! Be a thief!"

Li Mianmian was crying, and her clothes were a little messy in the struggle.

Gradually, she vaguely noticed that the screaming became louder.

"You can seduce people at a young age!"

"You are our child bride!" In the dark wooden house, he looked like a ghost, "Anyway, sooner or later it will be our family..."

Li Mianmian opened his mouth and bit his tiger's mouth fiercely, but he laughed sinisterly instead: "Hiss—I owe you a beating!"

There was a bang of thunder, obscuring all the sounds in the room.

Li Mianmian felt as if the pouring rain was pouring on her body.

"What are you making a fuss about!" The adoptive mother shouted from outside, "Your son is going to be scared to death!"

The adoptive father stopped moving.

"Tsk, it's really not the time." He raised his body and tapped Li Mianmian hard on the forehead.
The wooden door was locked, and then there was the sound of locking.

Li Mianmian stared blankly at the ceiling, gradually feeling nothing.

Head full of terrible thunder.

It is raining heavily all over the world.
-
"boom--"

There was a loud bang, and the bedroom door was slammed open.

The single bed shook twice, and someone grabbed Li Mianmian's wrist.

She subconsciously wanted to struggle, and Gu Yanci's voice came from her ear: "It's me, it's my brother."

Li Mianmian fell silent instantly.

"Brother is late..." Gu Yanci hugged her into his arms, and the hand holding the back of her head trembled slightly: "Don't be afraid..."

"Their son has been crying, so we went back to the city early and planned to go to the hospital to show their son." Li Mianmian continued to talk about what was left on the phone in a daze, "then the landslide and the car fell off the cliff. , only I survived."

"Evil is rewarded with evil." Gu Yanci lightly kissed her on the top of the hair, "Hey, don't think about it anymore."

"Actually, when the ambulance arrived, they were still alive..." Li Mianmian said in a low voice, "I cursed them to death."

In the accident that day, Li Mianmian seemed like a miracle.

The van rolled headfirst down the cliff, and the adoptive father was in the driver's seat. He was pierced by a sharp tree trunk and died on the spot.

The adoptive mother sat in the passenger seat with her son in her arms. Although the two of them did not die immediately, they only breathed a sigh of relief.

Only Li Mianmian, because she was sitting in the back seat, she was unscathed and even walked around normally when she got out of the car.

They were taken to the hospital by ambulance, and all the doctors were struggling to save the injured, but she was the only one hiding in the corner secretly, her heart beating loudly and making joyful sounds.

She murmured in her mind, wishing them all to die.

Later, they really all died, and Li Mianmian felt very lucky.

Since then, she has often had nightmares.

In the dream, she was not the poor little girl who was bullied during the thunderstorm, but the demon who pushed their family off the cliff with her own hands.

"It has nothing to do with you." Gu Yanci whispered softly in her ear, "It's God's punishment, because they deserve to die."

Li Mianmian closed her eyes, the image in her mind couldn't get rid of it.

She couldn't forget the tragedy of her adoptive father and the cart full of blood. Every time she thought about it, she felt both fear and joy.

Then I feel more and more fearful because of my own happiness.

"Let's not think about the past, okay?" Gu Yanci patted her head soothingly, "Have you eaten this morning? Are you hungry?"

Li Mianmian shook her head, then nodded again.

"Then brother is going to buy you something to eat." Gu Yanci's tone was extremely gentle, "What do you want to eat? Brother, go buy it now."

"Don't..." Li Mianmian quickly grabbed him, "Don't go..."

"Okay." Gu Yanci hugged her even more distressedly, "Brother won't leave."

Li Mianmian was lying in his arms, still immersed in the emotions of the past, a little unable to get out.

Suddenly someone said outside: "Student, how are you? Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Gu Yanci let go of one hand, lifted the curtain and said, "Just let her slow down."

"Okay, then you can stay with her for a while. But not too long. In principle, boys are not allowed to enter girls' dormitories. I have made an exception."

After a moment of reaction, Li Mianmian belatedly recognized that it was the voice of the housekeeper's aunt.

She immediately woke up, grabbed Gu Yanci's forearm nervously and asked, "How did you get in?"

"Auntie asked me to come in." Gu Yanci squeezed her hand, without suppressing her voice, and said deliberately to Auntie the housekeeper, "You are sick, brother must come to see you."

Li Mianmian pursed her lips, and asked angrily, "What about Auntie? Are you leaving?"

Gu Yanci glanced down, smiled and shook his head: "It's at the door."

"……what?"

Li Mianmian felt a little shy when she thought of the dormitory aunt standing at the door, so she gave him a slight push.

Probably hearing her voice, the aunt immediately urged: "Are you ready? If it's okay, this male classmate, you have to leave."

"Well, right away." Gu Yanci said as he was about to get out of bed.

Only then did Li Mianmian see his posture.

Because the bed was too small and there was a mosquito net hanging over his head, Gu Yanci could only kneel and sit in the corner with one leg aggrieved, with the other leg hanging on the ladder, hugging her in this awkward and uncomfortable position.

"Don't..." Feeling him let go, Li Mianmian stretched out her hand unconsciously, and whispered, "Brother, take me away, I don't want to stay in the dormitory alone."

"Don't worry." Gu Yanci smiled, "How could my brother leave you here alone?"

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and said to the following: "I'm sorry, Auntie, I still have to take her to the hospital."

"Okay, then hurry up." The aunt knocked on the door, "The main reason is that you, a boy, can't stay in the girls' dormitory for too long, you know?"

"Yes." Gu Yanci repeatedly apologized, "We will leave right away."

"..." Li Mianmian grabbed him and said in embarrassment, "I...I haven't changed my clothes yet..."

There was constant thunder outside, and Gu Yanci was worried about letting her stay here alone to change clothes, so he simply wrapped her in a blanket and carried her outside.

Li Mianmian buried her face in the blanket, her ears flushed with shame.

Gu Yanci's car was parked downstairs in the dormitory.

He bowed to shield Li Mianmian from the rain, opened the passenger door, carefully put her in, then sat in the driver's seat, and leaned over to fasten her seat belt.

When the man approached, Li Mianmian smelled the fresh scent of shampoo from him, mixed with the smell of rain and dust, which made people feel warm and real.

When the car started, Gu Yanci suddenly stretched out a hand towards her: "If you are afraid, grab brother."

Li Mianmian poked out her fingertips from the blanket, touched him, and then held him tightly.

Gu Yanci also raised his fist and held her back forcefully.

Li Mianmian turned her head and stared at his knife-sharp profile, her heart pounding.

——She vaguely felt that today's Gu Yanci seems to be a little different from before...

Back home, Gu Yanci went to the bathroom to take a battle shower, and rushed out before the next thunder.

The two of them nestled on the sofa, Li Mianmian held onto the hem of his chest tightly, his body trembling with the sound of thunder.

Gu Yanci patted her on the back gently, and lowered his head to kiss her forehead.

When the warm touch came, Li Mianmian immediately ignored Lei, and held her breath and asked, "You...why did you kiss me..."

Gu Yanci let out a low "hmm" from his throat.

Li Mianmian was a little annoyed: "What does 'um' mean?"

"That's it," he chuckled, "meaning I want to kiss you."

"..." Li Mianmian bit her lower lip, "Then, aren't you playing hooligans... What do we have to do, just kiss me?"

Gu Yanci lowered his head slightly, his lips were almost touching her ear: "Boyfriend relationship."

There was a cautious hoarseness in his voice: "OK?"

"..."

Li Mianmian felt her heart skip a beat, the scorching heat burned from her tailbone to her brain, and her thoughts went blank.

"Mumu," Gu Yanci asked again as if he was not sure, "Are you still willing to be with your brother?"

Li Mianmian closed her eyes, and could clearly feel the rapid vibration in his chest.

It's like it's never been like this before.

He has always been calm and calm, will there be such a tense moment?

Li Mianmian forced herself to calm down, and brought up the question that hadn't been answered before: "Then do you like me?"

"I like it." Gu Yanci replied without hesitation, as if he had rehearsed it thousands of times, "I like it very much."

"..."

Li Mianmian bit the soft flesh inside her lips, and said after a long time, "I don't believe it."

"You lied to me again." She broke free from Gu Yanci's arms, buried her head in her head, and muttered, "You just said that to comfort me..."

Gu Yanci was a little helpless: "No..."

"I don't believe it." Li Mianmian pulled the blanket on her body and said repeatedly, "I don't believe it..."

"Li Mianmian."

Gu Yanci suddenly called her full name, then leaned over and said in a deep voice, "Look at me."

Li Mianmian raised her head, but before she could see his face clearly, her eyes suddenly darkened.

——Gu Yanci approached oppressively, and held her lips in the next second.

"!"

Li Mianmian opened her eyes wide in bewilderment.

A brief kiss, but a long aftertaste.

Gu Yanci's lips were not as cold as they appeared on the surface.

His lips were soft and moist, and every second he thought about it, the emptiness of his taste deepened.

"I heard people say that if you like it, you will have the desire to kiss." Gu Yanci pinched her chin, rubbed her thumb lightly, and seemed to be a little bit unfulfilled, "I admit that I have this desire for you, can you kiss me?" Prove my love?"

"..."

Li Mianmian licked her lips silently, then raised her eyelids and stared at him with burning eyes.

"Ok?"

"Can you..." Li Mianmian's ears turned red, she swallowed, and asked, "Kiss again?"

Gu Yanci was taken aback for a moment: "...what?"

"I want to kiss again." Li Mianmian sat up on his knees with his shoulders in his hands, lowered his waist and asked, "Is that okay, brother?"
