Tender as wild

Occasionally, Baili thinks again.

If only she hadn't gone to the river that day, she wouldn't be like this. She felt like she was carrying her brother on her back, living on her last breath, and even dying felt guilty.

However, another year passed.

Baili passed the college entrance examination.

She was admitted to a university, and Ms. Hu forcefully changed her choice for her, and she enrolled in a school not far from home, which was a key university.

That's good.

She could escape from that home five days a week.

Time flies so fast, and she is often in a trance, unable to feel any changes in her life. But unknowingly, there is one more person who scares her. In addition to Ms. Hu, there is also her stepbrother Su Ming.

He is the biggest devil.

But everyone became his accomplice.

That summer vacation, if it hadn't been for her, she would have almost died.

He really won't let her go.

As spring passed and autumn came, Baili had no expectations for life, nor did she rely on her beauty to accept anyone's confession, completely closing her mind.

Until my junior year.

Rainy season.

Baili's roommate suddenly came to visit during her period. She didn't have any extra clothes, so she could only weakly shout Baili's name.

"Bai Li, can you help me go to the nearby mall to buy some pairs of underwear."

Baili's face was pale, insomnia was bothering her, and her behavior was a little slow. "Okay, give me the money."

The roommate held his stomach and said, "Can you help me advance the payment?"

Bai Li shook her head and said in a very soft voice, "Sorry, I don't have money."

Ms. Hu was dissatisfied with her not coming home during the New Year.

It has been a long time since I paid her living expenses.

She was not in good health, so she lived on scholarships and had no extra money for advance payment.

The roommate frowned and was not very happy, but he could only bear the pain and handed Baili the money.

Secretly I took out my phone and sent a WeChat message to my other roommates who were playing outside.

[Do you think... Baili is a bit stingy? 】

Baili went out with an umbrella.

Walk to the nearest supermarket.

The night rain was like a pillar, and her umbrella frame was shaken by the blow, which made her white tiger's mouth red and swollen.

She quickly finished her shopping and exited the supermarket, only to be hit by strong winds again.

The wind and rain blew over her umbrella.

Her whole body fell into the rain curtain, and the rain soaked her entire face.

Suddenly, a spotlight shone in front of her, and a good-looking man got out of the black Bentley. There were bodyguards holding a big black umbrella for him. He looked like a big shot at first sight.

Baili stared at the umbrella, thinking happily.

The quality is very good and there should be no risk of being damaged by the wind.

After wiping away the rain, she held the plastic bag in her arms and was about to leave.

The man's eyes paused for a moment, then he took the bodyguard's umbrella and walked towards her.

"and many more."

Baili looked at this strange person and felt a strange sense of oppression, and panic swept through her body.

The man's narrow eyes were dark, with only her appearance, and his voice was slightly low, "I'll give you this umbrella."

Baili anxiously wanted to refuse, but the umbrella had already fallen into her hand. She could only lower her head and say, "Thank you, but how can I return it to you?"

The man's hand paused, and he said softly on such a rainy night: "Tell me what your name is, and my people will go get it."

Bai Li didn't want to say it at first, but after thinking that she didn't have any property worthy of the man in front of her, she still said, "My name is Bai Li, and I am a student of Jiang University."

Fang Ye raised his eyes slightly, said nothing, and pursed his lips tightly. After a long time, he repeated in a low voice,

"White pear?"

Bai Li nodded, "Yes, I don't have class tomorrow, so you can ask your people to pick it up at any time."

He looked at her with his dark eyes, then closed his eyes again, "In the future, try not to tell others your school address casually when you are outside."

Very strange. It was obviously him who asked.

Baili could only agree, "Yeah, okay."

The man called the person next to him and said a few words. The person next to him took out a box of exquisite snacks from the passenger side of the black car.

The man twisted the ribbon with his long fingers and hung the snack box on the hook handle of the umbrella.

"Sent to you, do you need me to take you back?"

Baili was almost frightened by such enthusiasm, but she was slow to react. It took her a long time to take a step back and said warily: "No, sir."

The man paused his fingers and took a step back, keeping a safe distance from her. "Okay, then let's go."

He just stood there.

Watching the timid back of the girl and the deliberately hidden scar on her arm disappear at the end of the road.

Chang Li responded, "Mr. Fang, do you know me?"

If he hadn't known each other, this indifferent man would rarely care about someone like this. But he had spent all these years studying and making his fortune abroad, and he had only returned to China for a few days. How could he know a female college student?
Fang Ye withdrew his gaze and said, "Go and find out what's going on with the scar on her hand. Her name is Bai Li, and her mother's name is Hu Qingmei. She should be a local."

The soft and fluent Mandarin still has the flavor of people from this place.

……

the next day.

Baili received a call from the person yesterday, who made an appointment to come to school to pick up an umbrella in the afternoon.

She lamented that the other person was really smart and knew her phone number just by her name, and she was a little scared. It seemed that she would not be able to talk to strangers casually in the future.

It rains in Jiangcheng for several days at a time.

Bai Li has been hungry all morning, and the box of pastries with unknown meaning yesterday became her rare food to satisfy her hunger.

She also tried working at a nearby milk tea shop.

But when the other party saw her pale and pitiful look, he just said he would make her a cup of milk tea, but he didn't dare to actually ask her to come to work.

At last.

Baili didn't even have the nerve to ask for milk tea.

It's just that the appointed time has come and she has to go back to get the umbrella.

The roommate told her that the umbrella had been taken away by another roommate.

He also advised her not to go out as a matter of course.

Baili's heart shrank and she said as if she couldn't bear it anymore: "Please don't take my things casually in the future."

The phone rang for a while.

Baili could only blush and go out again.

The roommates who stayed behind looked at each other and couldn't help but say: "They are a bit stingy. We are all in the same dormitory. Is it like this to hold an umbrella?"

Bai Li gritted her teeth and walked to the school gate and glanced around. Sure enough, there was a black Bentley parked not far away.

She struggled with how to explain this.

The other party had rolled down the car window early and was waiting for her.

Not his people.

Instead, he came in person. Someone opened the car door for him. He stood upright and said to her, "Bai Li, let me get the umbrella."

"I'm sorry." She said, "I'm really sorry. My roommate took the umbrella away. I...I"

She didn't even have the confidence to say, "I'll pay you back."

As shameless as a thief.

The man said gently, "It's okay, you don't have to be so afraid, it's just an umbrella."

Bai Li pinched her fingers, "I'm sorry, but I will definitely give it back to you."

The man just smiled and said, "Don't say anything to me that you won't pay back."

Bending down, the man looked straight into her eyes, "Bai Li, do you still remember me? I am Fang Ye."

The sound of wind passed by, and Bai Li was shocked to hear the name, with tears flowing out of the corners of her eyes.

She was extremely frightened.

I don’t know what this sudden recognition means.

After being silent for a long time, he said: "Great, you are still alive..."
