At night, only a small desk lamp was on in the room.

Li Chi curled up on the narrow bed, his back resting on the stacked pillows, his newly bought laptop in his arms.

A slow-paced movie was playing on the screen, and light and shadow flickered on his focused face.

Jinchen's consciousness floated relaxedly in his mind, sharing Li Chi's sight and hearing, and feeling this rare peace.

Ling Gungun lay on Li Chi's shoulder. He would roll down when Li Chi moved a little, and then he would get up and continue to lie there happily.

There's nothing else to it, I just want to envious the host.

It can touch the Lord God!

In the lower left corner of the computer screen, a small mailbox icon flickered and jumped, indicating that there was new email.

Jinchen's voice was lazy, "Xiao Chi, check your mailbox, it might be... a reply from Mom."

Li Chi stared at the flashing icon, hesitated for a moment, swiped his fingertips, and clicked on the email. After Lin Wan received the email and video, she replied two days later.

The reply was: Are you Li Chi? Sorry, no matter who you are, I don't believe this video, please provide more evidence.

Even though he had said many times before that he didn't care, Li Chi's eyes were still filled with loneliness that he couldn't help but feel.

He said softly, "Brother, she doesn't believe me."

Jinchen clicked his tongue silently in his sea of consciousness, and a chill passed through his heart.

He suppressed his anger and spoke softly, as if he was coaxing a restless little animal. "Be good, don't be sad. It's time for your brother to go out today. I'll teach you how to reply to her, okay?"

Li Chi nodded silently and huddled into the quilt, revealing only half of his face and eyes staring at the screen.

"it is good."

Jinchen taught word by word, Li Chi's fingertips tapped lightly on the keyboard:

If you doubt the authenticity of the video, you can ask a domestic private detective to investigate.

I am the one who protects Li Chi.

When typing the last sentence, Li Chi's fingers paused slightly, as if the words were warm and gently tapping on his heart.

After sending it, he switched back to the movie playback page, but he had no interest in watching it anymore.

Li Chi raised his hand, gently placed his cool fingertips on his lips, and left a silent kiss.

-

three days later.

There was a deafening sound of a door slamming in the entrance hall.

Li Fendou rushed into the living room, his face flushed the color of liver, his mouth reeking of alcohol as he swore at the air, "A bunch of trash! All of you fucking trash! What bad luck!!"

He picked up the vase on the entrance cabinet and smashed it hard on the ground, sending pieces flying everywhere.

When Qiu Juan saw the mess on the ground, she was like a lit firecracker, screaming and rushing over to tear Li Fendou apart.

"Li Fendou! You still have the nerve to come back! You wimp! Three hundred thousand, a full three hundred thousand, and that little bitch just extorted them away like that! Are you crazy?"

Li Fendou staggered, the smell of alcohol mixed with anger rushed to his forehead, and he pushed Qiu Juan away.

"Blame me? It's you, stupid bitch! Who told you to go to my workplace and cause trouble?"

"If you don't make a fuss, will the boss know? Will I be caught by that bitch? It's all your fault! Jinx!"

He pointed at Qiu Juan's nose and spit flew everywhere.

"I'm waiting for you to give birth to that bastard! Li Fendou! You're such a heartless person! I'm going to fight you!"

Qiu Juan rushed forward again, crying, and the two of them started wrestling with each other. The coffee table was knocked over, and cups and remote controls fell to the ground with a clatter.

The living room was a mess, like a battlefield.

Li Qiang was so scared that he huddled in the corner of the sofa, put on his headphones and turned up the game volume to the maximum, pretending that he didn't exist.

Li Donglai's face turned pale. He suppressed his irritation and stepped forward to try to pull his parents apart:

"Stop fighting. What's the point of arguing now? Let's think of a solution first. See if this quarter's living expenses have arrived. Maybe we can make ends meet."

He knew very well that even if there was still some inheritance left, Li Chi's father had made a lot of preparations before his death. Spending too much money at one time would easily arouse suspicion from the trust.

Li Fendou suddenly pushed Qiu Juan away, gasping for breath, and hurriedly took out his cell phone to check.

A few seconds later, the color on his face instantly drained away, and he almost threw his phone to the ground.

"Where's the money? Why hasn't Lin Wan's money arrived yet?"

"Li Chi!" Li Fendou's voice was hoarse, and he was a little unsteady. "What's going on with your mother?! Where's the money?!"

Li Chi appeared at the edge of the corridor at some point, standing at the junction of light and darkness, shaking his head slightly, his face showing his usual innocence and confusion.

The more harmless he appeared, the creepier he seemed to some people.

Li Qiang, who was sitting in the corner of the sofa, was so frightened when he saw Li Fendou pointing his finger at Li Chi that he trembled all over and almost rolled and crawled deeper into the sofa. He wanted to crawl under the sofa for fear of being affected by the storm.

But Li Donglai's expression changed completely.

He stared at Li Chi in the shadows and understood everything.

"Li Chi!" Li Donglai questioned, "How dare you say it has nothing to do with you?! Have you forgotten what you said that day?"

Li Chi stood quietly in the shadows, and in response to Li Donglai's accusations, he simply tilted his head slightly.

Li Donglai was stimulated by the look. He rushed to the decorative picture frame, pulled out the cleverly disguised miniature camera, and rushed back to his room to take out his laptop. With trembling fingers, he connected the data cable and operated it quickly.

"Mom and Dad! Look, I have evidence! He said it himself that day! He threatened me! He..."

However, the crucial video footage of that day on the computer screen was blank at this moment.

Li Donglai refreshed and searched repeatedly in disbelief.

He suddenly raised his head and looked towards the corridor in horror.

Li Chi stood in the dark shadow, the corners of his lips, which had turned a little red, curled up slightly, and his black pupils stared at Li Donglai.

Li Donglai just felt a chill in his heart.

In the living room, Li Fendou and Qiu Juan continued to accuse and cry to each other, especially the insults directed at Li Chi without any restraint.

"...And that little mute! He's a jinx! He brought disaster to my father and now he's bringing disaster to our family! None of them are good!"

Li Chi returned to the room.

The door blocked out most of the noise, but Qiu Juan's insults still came through faintly.

Li Chi stood with his back against the door for a while.

As long as I think that it will be a short time before I can completely clear out this family, the unprecedented sense of relief overwhelms all the grievances and sadness.

He walked to the bed, lifted the quilt and crawled in.

"Xiao Chi." Jinchen's voice sounded distressed.

Li Chi buried his face in the quilt and said, "Brother, it's okay. I'm used to it."

"You don't need to get used to this." Jin Chen said firmly, gently but forcefully: "Cover your ears, dear."

Li Chi obediently raised his hands and covered his ears.

In this silence, Li Chi heard a melody in his mind.

Jinchen was humming a song, his tone was calm and steady.

"... Let light and shadow travel through time and space between you and me, and we will intertwine our fingers."

“Love is the meeting of each other.”

What a familiar melody, Li Chi thought inexplicably.

His eyes were red, his nose felt sore, he closed his eyes tightly, and his long eyelashes were wet with tears.

Stop thinking about the dirty words outside the door, stop thinking about those bad people and things.
