Tender as wild

Chapter 10 Only the moon passes by.

In the darkness of night.

Bai Li watched the young man's figure drift away.

There is still a little numbness in my forehead, but it is neither painful nor itchy.

Fang Ye's last words were a reminder.

She also noticed that what she just blurted out was Fang Ye's name.

It's really a bit neither big nor small.

It was too late to change his mind now, the taxi had already left the vicinity of the wine house.

A few minutes later, Baili returned to Fang Ye's house.

No wandering around the house.

Instead, he went straight back to his room and sat on the balcony in a daze.

In the dark night, the street lamps downstairs cast a vague light. Every street in the ancient city is like a stop-motion painting, and even the smallest alleys have unique landscaping.

Baili's breathing became calmer with this environment.

My heart... was not very peaceful.

Her mind couldn't help but guess what those people were going to do with such heavy expressions just now.
  Thinking of the WeChat I just added, I might be able to tell something.

Baili quickly took out her phone, opened the green software, and clicked on the chat list.

At the top is Fang Ye’s WeChat account.

His online name is very personal.

Just a wild word.

The avatar is a dark back, and it’s unclear who it belongs to.

Well... to be precise.

You can't even see clearly whether it's his back or not.

Baili clicked on the avatar, ignored the greeting message from the system, and clicked on his friend circle.

The result was no...

Nothing at all.

There is only one advertisement notice for the opening of a wine shop in his circle of friends. At first glance, it is a copied and pasted text, accompanied by a picture of the interior decoration of the wine shop.

Below that is a horizontal bar.

What does this mean?
  Bai Li narrowed her eyes and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Well, there seems to be nothing that can be explained except that the owner of the wine shop is very popular.

There is no way to understand Fang Ye’s life from the circle of friends.

She sighed.

He exited Fang Ye's circle of friends and clicked on the message list again. All of them were group messages from the class.

No one contacted her privately.

There is a little red dot in the circle of friends.

When she clicked on it, she saw that her deskmate had liked her circle of friends.

Bai Li pursed her lips, feeling a bad premonition in her heart. She clicked on her circle of friends and saw that they were all filled with portraits.

Of course... the most popular ones are Fang Ye's portraits.

Everything from the time I registered this account to last month! ! !
  Now that there are real-life prototypes, the element of nostalgia has faded away.

It's completely like a... voyeuristic circle of friends.

Her scalp instantly became numb, fearing that Fang Ye would see her being worried.

I subconsciously want to delete it manually.

After all, they had not met since they were five years old, and she didn't know how to explain such a coincidence.

But look at that little button.

Baili couldn't bear to do it again.

This is all her hard work after spending countless nights and drawing each stroke. There is also a timeline to help her record it.

Because that kind of painting could not be stored in that home, her mother would scold her if she found it, so she almost threw it away after finishing the painting and taking pictures.

"..."

The moon outside the window casts a silvery light.

The cool night wind whistled by.

Between the dilemma.

Bai Li's eyes lit up, and she suddenly thought of a better way.

She can block Fang Ye!
  This is the only way to preserve the painting without being embarrassed.

She clicked into Fang Ye's chat box without hesitation, selected the "Don't let him see my circle of friends" function, and pressed it lightly.

Block others for the first time.

Baili was also a little nervous. After repeatedly confirming that she had pressed correctly, the heart she was holding dropped.     Although it's a little bad, it's the only solution, and it's better than being treated like a stalking peeping tom.

This is how she comforted herself.

The evening wind blew stronger, carrying the girl's secret thoughts with warmth.

……

After arriving in Lingjiang.

This was the first time she stayed alone at Fang Ye's house.

The small building was exceptionally quiet, with no sound of anyone breathing.

Time seems to have become particularly long in this tranquility.

Baili wouldn't feel afraid. Although her previous home was lively, the liveliness was repulsive to her and would only make people feel even more lonely.

She sat there from eight o'clock until one o'clock in the morning, listening to the rustling leaves outside the window.

The drowsiness hit her and she couldn't help but yawn.

She wasn't sure whether she should leave the door open for Fang Ye, or whether he was safe now.

He took out his cell phone and sent a message to Fang Ye.

[Bai Li: Brother, are you going home tonight? Do I have to wait for you to open the door? 】

After half a minute, the other party responded.

[Ye: It’s so late, go to sleep. 】

oh……

I can still reply to messages, so there should be nothing wrong.

Bai Li put down her phone and turned off the light.

……

At this time, Fang Ye stood in front of the deepest alley.

The light from the mobile phone screen hit the side of his face, and he looked away after replying the message.

As if he remembered something, he clicked into the girl's circle of friends again.

A particularly clean horizontal line, not even visible for only three days.

He raised his eyebrows, his eyes calm.

He put the phone back into his pocket, wiped the dirt on his hands, and said to Chengzi and others behind him:
  "Okay, let's go."

At this moment, Chengzi was no longer smiling. With a fierce look in his eyes, he picked up a thin man by his collar and pressed him against the wall.

After hearing this, he slowly loosened his fingers and his voice was indescribably heavy:

"Next time you bring someone to this area to steal, rob, or molest a little girl, I will kill you, do you hear me?"

As soon as he let go, the thin man fell to the ground as if he had lost his bones, leaving only heavy breathing.

……

Baili's sleep came quickly but was very shallow.

It will wake up if there is any disturbance.

The night was especially quiet in the early hours of the morning.

While she was drowsy, she heard the sound of the door opening and a few whispers. It was not like a person could make any noise.
  She wanted to see who was coming.

But he was too sleepy, so he got out of bed with his eyes half open, walked to the stairs, and asked softly at the bottom: "Brother? Is that you?"

The sound of laughter disappeared instantly.

She was about to pick up the broom next to her and go down to take a look.

Fang Ye's light voice came: "It's me, go back to your room and sleep, don't come down."

There is also the voice of the unruly Chengzi: "Sister, don't be afraid, you are not a bad person. My brothers will leave in a while and I won't bother you."

After receiving the response, Baili felt relieved.

Close the door to the room and lie back on the big bed.

Although there was still some rustling noise in the air, it was miraculously not harsh. She closed her eyes and fell asleep quickly.

Moonlight shines in through the window.

She had a dream.

I dreamed of seeing Fang Ye for the first time when I was three years old.

Fang Ye was five years old at that time, with warm and soft eyes. Standing in the crowd, people could tell at a glance that he was the most beautiful and smartest child.

She was a little afraid of strangers and didn't dare to look at him.

It was Fang Ye who broke free from the soldier uncle's hand, walked gently to her, took her soft hand, and said to her with a bright smile:

"Hello, Xiao Baili, I am your brother. My name is Fang Ye. From now on, I am here to protect you."

then……

Although she was not with her parents during those two years, she never suffered at all.
