Chapter 12 Follow me
Lian Li has been without a mother since she was a child. Lian Jingcheng was the father and mother who brought her up.
For Lian Li, his father is not only a father, but also a pillar supporting the world.
The twelve-year-old girl is still in junior high school. Her father made an appointment with her to play together before school starts in September. The location is her choice.
Before she learned about her father's accident, she was flipping through National Geographic magazines at home, taking notes while reading, planning to surprise her father when he came home.
The moment she finalized the final location, she received the news that her father had died in a car accident.
For a child raised by his father, this is undoubtedly earth-shattering.
Lian Li stumbled to the hospital. Her father, who had been chatting and laughing with her in the morning, had turned into a cold corpse at night.
The world collapsed.
She couldn't accept the reality for a moment, and stood motionless looking at her father, who was wrapped in white cloth. Her eyes seemed to be separated by a layer of gray, filled with the wilderness and deathly numbness after the disaster.
Thunder roared, tearing apart the dark sky ferociously, and in an instant, heavy rain fell on the entire city.
The capital is very large, and it rarely rains to completely cover the whole city. But that night, the sky was completely dark, and the whole city fell into torrential rain, as if it had turned into a rainy city.
Late at night, when Lian Li walked out of the hospital, a heavy rain poured down on her.
The world darkened as the sky turned dark, and there was no one around. She squatted on the ground helplessly, as if a world was cut off by the heavy rain.
The hollow feeling of despair besieged her one after another, and something was rumbling in her stomach, making her want to vomit, but she couldn't. Only her eyes were hot and swollen.
Her eyelashes were wet with rain and tears, and her vision became blurry. In the blink of an eye, a star fell.
Suddenly, the rain was blocked. In the haze of tears, someone walked up to her unhurriedly.
Lian Li was soaked all over, her hair clinging to her white cheeks. She raised her face, her black eyelashes trembled slightly, and looked at the person coming through the moist mist.
At that time, Jin Yanting was twenty years old, wearing a hospital gown, but he could not hide his innate nobility.
He held a black silk steel umbrella with one hand and covered her head. She looked very small in the huge world washed by the rain, and the umbrella could easily cover her completely.
Thunderstorm day in August, cold wind and dark clouds. But there is a touch of blue in the east, deep and clear, which is impossible to ignore.
He is the blue in the gray and black city.
Jin Yanting stretched out his hand towards her, and his gentle voice penetrated the cold rain waterfall and fell slowly:
"Follow me."
His steady voice in the shadow was so thick, giving people an endless sense of solidity and reliability.
Her world was filled with nothingness and silence, as if he was the only one left.
The girl grasped at straws.
Ever since he left Jin Yanting on that rainy night, he had always treated her well, and could even be said to be doting on her.
Responding to her material needs, and spiritually accompanying her to eat and celebrate the holidays... Every warm moment in Lian Li's past nine years has been stamped with the three characters "Jin Yanting".
The moon hangs high in the sky, and the silver light shines through the gaps in the clouds into the world every moment. The sea water covers the land, and the heart becomes an island in the world.
No man is an island.
He was like concentric ripples on the water, gradually dissolving on the island in her heart.
The car drove into the apartment complex, and the moonlight fell through the car window into the car, like a dappled galaxy.
Lian Li pulled back her thoughts, opened the door and got out of the car, no longer looking at the bright moon in the sky, but at the ground illuminated by dim street lights.
Assistant He in the cab unbuckled his seat belt, took out a small bag of things from the storage space and stepped out.
Lian Li turned to look at him.
Assistant He held up the cat food and said, "There is a stray cat over there. I stopped by to take a look." After hearing this, Lian Li stood there for a few seconds and walked towards Assistant He in no hurry.
A small house made of wooden houses housed a white fold-eared cat. Assistant He squatted down and threw food to it little by little, and it waggled its tail happily.
Assistant He was a little surprised when he saw Lian Li, but he wasn't worried. The cat can't get out of it, and it has a sense of propriety and won't knowingly do anything wrong.
"Last month, Mr. Jin came down from your place and happened to meet the injured Bai Bai."
Assistant He teased the cat that had recovered to health and stated, "Mr. Jin asked me to take it to the veterinarian. After that, he sent it back to the community guard."
Baibai, this cat’s name.
Lian Liyi looked right at Bai Bai, who also stared at her with innocent eyes.
Bai Bai is a kitten wagging its tail, but she is not.
Lian Li didn't stop any longer, turned around and walked upstairs.
Boom, boom, boom.
The calm and steady footsteps were still barely audible in the empty and silent villa.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Li Ye unscrewed the mineral water and poured it into the water bowl dedicated to the God of Wealth. Hearing the sound, he stood up and looked towards the source of the sound. The boss was adjusting his cuffs while going down the stairs.
Li Ye said respectfully and without restraint: "Mr. Jin."
The God of Wealth drank a few sips of water, raised his head, and stared at the master with his dark eyes.
Then, Li Ye saw the giant, aloof man walking up to the boss, raising his big head and looking up at him.
"."Double-standard dog!
Jin Shiyue rubbed the back hair on the God of Wealth's huge body with his knuckled hands. He glanced at it inadvertently and narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw something.
He parted the God of Wealth's clean hair with his long fingers, searched for the collar around his neck, and pulled out the bracelet hanging from the metal plate.
Li Ye's eyes suddenly condensed, and he took a closer look at the bracelet with two ruby pendants hanging on it. His mind was running rapidly, and he came to the conclusion: "It may be Miss Lian's."
Apart from Jin Shiyue, only Lian Li had touched the God of Wealth tonight, and this bracelet looked like it belonged to a girl. Not hard to guess.
Li Ye was about to say that he would give it to him and he would hand it back to Lian Li. Unexpectedly, Jin Shiyue circled the bracelet with his fingers and easily held it in his palm.
"The old lady has been waiting for a long time. Go and bring the car."
The boss wanted to go back to have supper with Mr. Jin in the evening, and Li Ye immediately accepted the order. As for the bracelet, the boss must have had his own reasons for not ordering it.
On the other side, Lian Li entered the house and turned on the lights, making the house brighter instantly.
This luxury apartment is in a good location and is close to the school, but it is not her real home.
Lian Li smiled and shook her head.
She didn't even understand the definition of home, so she jumped to conclusions.
Not rigorous at all.
There was an unread message on the phone, so Lian Li opened WeChat to check it.
Xue Shufan: "I am really convinced. The new team member in the laboratory is actually a silver pewter gun tip, completely useless!"
Xue Shufan: "The cells need to be replaced on time and cannot stay for too long. As a result, he forgets every time!"
Xue Shufan: "Lili, you said it's autumn, why are there so many spring bamboos?"
Spring bamboo is homophonic to "stupid pig".
Lian Li held the phone in both hands and tapped the keyboard with her fingertips. She was about to reply when she suddenly caught a glimpse of her empty wrist.
Hey, where's her bracelet?
