Moonlight falls into my arms

After the college entrance examination, Yuan Fang said she wanted to take Ruan Li out to play.

Ruan Li rejected him.

Ruan Li absolutely refused to go out.

Yuan Fang asked with some concern, "What's wrong with you lately? Aside from the day of the college entrance exam, you haven't wanted to leave the house. What's wrong?"

Yuan Fang was worried that Ruan Li was under too much pressure, so she immediately pulled her aside and said, "No, Mom should take you to see a doctor. You might be under too much pressure, right? You need to see a psychologist for mental health issues."

Ruan Li stubbornly refused to go: "No, I don't have any mental problems. I just don't want to go out. I'm fine staying at home, and I'm not bored."

“Nobody stays at home all day. Look at you, you’re practically moldy. Look at those who just finished the college entrance exam, they’re all going out to dye their hair and go on vacation. Why don’t you go too? Or if you don’t want to go alone, Mom will take you.”

Ruan Li thought about dyeing her hair.

There's a real possibility of being poisoned by hair dye; traveling increases the likelihood of even more accidents.

"No, I can't go out. It's too dangerous outside."

Yuan Fang said helplessly, "How come you're getting more and more regressive? What danger is there? You can't expect something to fall from the sky and kill you while you're walking down the street, can you?"

Ruan Li quickly covered Yuan Fang's mouth, "Don't say it, don't say it. I'll go out and play by myself once I've safely passed through my critical period."

Yuan Fang felt that her daughter was absolutely bewitched. "Lili, tell me, have you been brainwashed by some pyramid scheme? What 'danger period'?"

"I haven't been brainwashed, Mom, you don't need to worry about me. I'll definitely go out and play later anyway. Right now, I just want to stay home obediently."

Jiang Ruan stayed at home for several days in a row.

More than half a month later, Jiang Ruan's admission notice arrived, and she needed to pick it up in person.

Yuan Fang said she would go with Jiang Ruan.

Jiang Ruan refused Yuan Fang's offer, saying, "No need, Mom, I can go by myself."

After saying that, Ruan Li took an umbrella herself.

What if something really happens and it affects Yuan Fang?

It is not yet certain whether changes made here will affect the future.

Jiang Ruan dared not let Yuan Fang take any risks.

Yuan Fang was stunned: "Didn't you say before that going out was too dangerous? Now that Mom is going out with you, why don't you want me to come? Besides, I also want to witness your important moment with you."

Ruan Li shook her head: "No need, no need. I'll bring the notice back and open it. You can just wait for me at home."

"Lili, why have you been acting so strange lately?" Yuan Fang went over and raised her hand to press on her forehead. "You don't have a fever."

"Okay, Mom, actually I just want to go out and play with my friends. I'll celebrate with them after I get my acceptance letter. You really don't need to come with me."

Ruan Li had no choice but to change her story.

Yuan Fang stood there, watching Ruan Li think, and after a long while, she nodded: "Alright then."

Ruan Li breathed a sigh of relief.

I grabbed my umbrella and my schoolbag and went out.

Yuan Fang was a little surprised to see Ruan Li carrying her schoolbag out, but thinking that perhaps she had something to show her friends, she didn't ask.

After hearing what Jiang Yuci said last time, Ruan Li became extra careful about the child in the upstairs house.

The child ran away from home and returned dejectedly after only a few days.

However, he never met with Ruan Li.

Ruan Li didn't know if the other party was as hostile to her as Jiang Yuci had said.

Went downstairs.

Ruan Li took out her helmet from her bag and put it on.

He was holding up an umbrella as well.

I'm sure that even if something falls from upstairs, it won't kill me.

She had just stepped out the door.

Halfway there, Jiang Yuci sent her a message asking where she was.

Ruan Li replied that Jiang Yuci had received the admission notice and was coming to find her.

Ruan Li then gave him the address and told him to wait for her at the courier station.

The notification letter can only be picked up in person, and Jiang Yu cannot pick it up for Ruan Li even after he resigns.

I stood at the courier station and waited.

Watching the second hand on my watch go round and round, until finally the minute hand had already turned half a circle.

Jiang Yuci frowned slightly.

Send a message to Ruan Li.

Where are you? If it's too far, take a taxi.

There was no reply from the other party.

Jiang Yuci felt a sudden surge of panic.

He immediately went to Ruan Li's house.

After passing through a small alley, I saw an umbrella lying on the road.

That was an umbrella that Jiang Yuci bought especially for Ruan Li.

His eyes darkened, and his heart sank.

Jiang Yuci ran all the way to Ruan Li's house but didn't see anyone. He went upstairs first and went to the family upstairs from Ruan Li's house, knocking on the door.

A man came out.

"Hello......"

Jiang Yuci hunched over, hands on her knees, her voice hoarse: "Is your son home?"

"Him? He left a long time ago. Are you him?"

The man looked Jiang Yuci up and down. The young man had grown tall; he should be in high school, not his son's classmate.

"I'm his friend, could you give him a call? I'd like to get in touch with him."

"You don't have his contact information?"

"...We had a fight and he's ignoring me. I want to use your phone, Uncle, to explain things to him."

"Could you say it for me later?" Jiang Yuci asked.

The boy's father was quite easy to talk to, nodding and saying, "My son just has a terrible temper; he gets angry very easily. Don't worry, I'll talk to you about it later."

"Could you please ask him where he is, or tell him I need to talk to him and ask him to arrange a place?"

"Row."

The call was answered after a while.

"Hey Xiaoyu, your friend's looking for you. They said they wanted to come hang out. Where are you?"

"Tell whoever it is that you don't have time and you're not playing."

"He said he needs to talk to you about something and wants you to book a place, which can be done when you're done with your work."

"...Alright, let's go to the long street corner then."

Upon hearing the address, Jiang Yuci immediately turned around and went downstairs.

Why are you running so fast...?

Jiang Yuci dialed the police number as she went downstairs.

It's in the vicinity of Changjie Street.

He mentioned this location, probably because it's close to him and convenient.

Jiang Yuci bypassed that alley, then turned onto a side street to reach the entrance of the main street.

There's a steep slope followed by an old residential area, and the road in the middle is usually deserted.

They are all stray animals.

Jiang Yuci ran forward when he suddenly heard a familiar cry of pain behind him.

Turning around, I saw Jiang Yanhui lying on the ground.

Jiang Yan looked up.

Jiang Yuci didn't expect him to follow her. She glanced at him, then looked away and walked forward.

He doesn't have time to go back to Gu Jiangyan right now.

Jiang Yan looked at the person who only glanced at him before running forward.

He immediately stood up, supporting himself on his knees.

Jiang Yuci indeed saw Ruan Li on the narrow path.

Ruan Li's hands and feet were bound, and a small knife was pressed against her neck.

Xiao Yu had his back to Jiang Yuci, so only Ruan Li could see Jiang Yuci at that moment.

Jiang Yuci put his index finger to his mouth, signaling Ruan Li to keep quiet.

Jiang Yuci didn't have any suitable tools, only a slightly broken half-brick next to him.

But Xiaoyu is now holding a knife to Ruan Li's neck.

He cannot move around.

Otherwise, Ruan Li might get hurt.
