Tender as wild

Chapter 53 Hug you

Wind and rain continue to erode the entire city, and water slowly flows on the bluestone pavement. From time to time, a white light flashes in the sky, illuminating the dim streets.

Another gust of wind blew, and Bai Li watched helplessly as the cigarette in her hand was taken away.

My mind was empty and I didn't know how to think. The heavy rain fell from thousands of miles above the sky until I could smell the faint fragrance of mint on the tip of my nose.

She suddenly looked up.

The next second, she met the man's deep and twinkling eyes.

Breathing gradually slows down.

The man held her lit cigarette between his slender fingertips. He straightened his waist and held an umbrella, looking down at her. His thick-faced face was shining brightly. He wore a silver bracelet she gave her on his wrist bone and wore it with earrings. The same color of light.

half an hour.

He held the cigarette in his hand, lowered his eyes and raised his eyebrows. The smoke rose straight up and swirled in the umbrella.

Just like last year.

When she was at her most desperate.

And here he comes.

Baili seemed to be stimulated by the ruins she just saw. She didn't care that the person in front of her was her brother, and she couldn't care less.

He stood up and did something very bold.

She reached out and hugged him.

And she thought she could hold back from crying.

But when she felt that he was really standing in front of her, Baili's eyes were still half red, and tears were swirling around her.

His voice also had a tremor that it had not had before.

"elder brother."

On the windy street, there were red lanterns hanging in front of the antique shops. Fang Ye stiffened for a moment before reaching out and gently touching the back of her head.

The girl was very close, not caring that he came in a hurry and was still wet.

I could hear the cry in the girl's voice, and after a few seconds of pause, the voice sounded clearly.

Gentle but without any emotion.

"Well, I'm here. Why did I suddenly come to Lingjiang? Who... bullied you?"

Listening to this gentle inquiry, Baili's tears finally burst out of control. She bit the inside of her lower lip with restraint, not letting herself make any sound.

She couldn't complain to Fang Ye under such circumstances and talk about her dissatisfaction in life in a naive manner, because she felt that Fang Ye seemed to be having a worse life.

What's more, she felt sorry for Fang Ye.

Hot tears streaked from her cheeks to her chin, and then dripped onto the bluestone pavement, where they were ruthlessly washed away by the accumulated water.

Fang Ye sighed almost inaudibly. In order to prevent her from being too tired from tiptoeing, he leaned slightly and whispered in her ear: "Don't cry. Tell me what happened and I will solve it for you."

The wide umbrella covered Baili's entire body.

The promise he made casually made Baili's inner soreness intensify, and her tears became even more rampant.

The more gentle he was, the more distressed she felt.

He always wanted her to live a peaceful and contented life, but he turned around and cleared away the difficulties that she should solve on her own.

But Baili felt that there was too little she could do for him now.

It's too unfair.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Fang Ye took the trouble to listen to her suppressed cries, occasionally patting her back.

Bai Li also knew that this was not good. It made no sense that she couldn't do anything and made Fang Ye worry.

So, she tried her best to calm down her emotions, and then hurriedly answered Fang Ye's words.

"It's okay. No one really bullied me. I just... I just miss you."

She's not good at lying.

The words were said awkwardly. Fortunately, the person who cried for a long time also spoke like this, successfully hiding the fact that she felt guilty.

But one thing she said was very sincere.

She really wanted to go wild.

During those days and nights in Jiangcheng, she never stopped thinking about him for a moment.

Fang Ye was startled and curled his lips again. He couldn't tell the emotion in his voice, but it sounded very nice.

"Really? You missed me."

Bai Li's heart tightened, and she suddenly became panicked. Could this be considered as saying what was in her heart accidentally?
  Will her brother mind?
  Thinking like this, she wanted to turn her head to look at Fang Ye.

Haven't seen it yet.

Fang Ye raised his eyebrows and continued to ask: "Are you really not crying anymore?"

In order to prove that she really didn't cry anymore, Bai Li nodded sharply and said in a thin voice, "Well, I won't cry anymore."

"Okay." Fang Ye turned around, stretched out his hand to pull the little girl away from him, then took out a pack of tissues from his pocket and wiped her tears with one hand.

His movements were gentle.

His body was still slightly tilted, and his voice was light and hoarse: "Then tell me, brother, why do you smoke when you miss me? Who did you learn this bad habit from? Didn't you learn it after just a few days in Jiangcheng? Is it rebellious in adolescence? ?”

?

Is this a reckoning?
  Bai Li didn't expect that the topic would change so quickly. It was only later that she remembered, oh, it turned out that she had just been caught lighting up a cigarette.

Her eyes were fixed on the water on the ground, and her fingers were tangled together unconsciously.

Fang Ye took out a paper towel and moistened it, then slowly put out the cigarette that had been blown away by the wind and wrapped it together, his eyes still focused on her.

Ok……

How to explain this behavior...

She found it difficult to explain herself. After all, she lit the cigarette herself and no one forced her.

Baili's body stiffened unconsciously when she was stared at by this extremely oppressive gaze. After a long while, she finally managed to say: "Brother, I don't want to smoke."

"Yeah." Fang Ye took the heavy schoolbag from her body, "Where did the smoke come from? Where did the lighter come from?"

Baili's scalp went numb for a moment. She was just feeling sad and could only try her best to remember.

"The cigarette was given to me by a staff member in the bar. He asked me to put it to my nose and smell it, which would relieve my unhappiness. The lighter was given to me by a stranger. He probably thought I wanted to smoke, so he kindly forced it on me. , and then I just wanted to light it up for fun, I didn’t want to smoke!”

Fang Ye's eyes seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and he didn't know whether he believed it or not.

Bai Li could only look at him sincerely to express her sincerity.

She never lied.

After a long while, Fang Ye gently nodded her head and said, "Well, don't accept cigarettes from strangers next time. It's very dangerous."

Bai Li nodded, this must be a belief, right?

After crying, her mind was a little confused. When the cool breeze blew gently on the street, she regained some sense. Looking at Fang Ye's smooth profile, she couldn't help but ask: "Brother, I didn't tell you that I was coming." How did you know I'm here when I'm out of Lingjiang?"

She would never believe that there was such a coincidence in the world.

And from the bold hug just now, she could feel that there was water on his body, and he must have come here on purpose.

Fang Ye said in an unhurried tone: "The person who gave you the cigarette called me and said he saw you, alone on the street, and was worried that something might happen to you."

"Oh."

Bai Li blinked, and suddenly a bad premonition arose in her heart.

Fang Ye was holding her bag with one hand and covering her from the rain with the other hand. His expression changed slightly and his eyes were clearly scrutinizing.

"Bai Li, you didn't mean you missed me, but why didn't you tell me when you came to Lingjiang?"

Baili:?
  Sure enough, the second post-Autumn reckoning finally came.

　There is still
