Outsiders participated in it, but Xiao Ran chose to stand beside An Ziqi. After learning the lesson from last time, whenever she felt in danger, she would obediently guard her sister and would never leave a step away.When Xiao Ran and An Ziqi were chatting casually, they noticed Xiao Wei. Although Xiao Wei was patiently signing autographs and taking pictures, she always looked up from time to time. Just after the people retreated, Xiao Wei squeezed out , looking for something left and right, Xiao Ran also followed Xiao Wei's gaze to find the answer.Not long after, when Xiao Ran's wandering eyes returned to Xiao Wei, she saw Xiao Wei walking towards him.

"Excuse me, do you know where the person who sang with me on the stage just now is?" The girl's eyes showed a trace of eagerness and longing. Before Xiao Ran could answer, Xiao Wei added, "The person with the white hair .”

Xiao Ran searched around for a while, and found the person she asked in a corner. "Are you talking about her?" Xiao Ran pointed to that direction and said to Xiao Wei.

"Yes!" Xiaowei glanced in that direction and replied immediately.Just as she was about to run there, she turned her head and asked Xiao Ran: "Is she also from the store? Can you tell me her name?"

"Wouldn't it be better for you to ask her directly?" The corners of Xiao Ran's mouth were raised with a wicked smile.

Xiao Wei was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded to Xiao Ran, replied "Thank you!" and walked towards Xiao Bai.

Checking out, receiving meals, cleaning... After a series of tasks, An Ziqi, Xiaobai, Xiao Ran, Huazi, Xiao Jingyi and other staff in the store stood around the entrance of the store and watched the last group leave. batch of guests.When walking back, talking about today's scene, everyone's joy could not be concealed, and in the end the topic still fell on Xiaobai.

"Grandma, you can even go to the bar to sing." Hua Zi couldn't help but continued to praise.

Others chimed in.At this time, Xiaobai's bright smile was a little more confident, and he said complacently: "The scene where I sang was much bigger than this."

"Wow~ Grandma, you really went to a bar to be a resident singer?" Hua Zi's admiring eyes locked Xiao Bai firmly.

"Of course, it happened when I was young." Xiaobai said proudly.

"Why haven't I heard you mention it?" Xiao Ran asked standing aside.

"It's the so-called 'A good man doesn't mention his bravery'! It's not a big deal, and there's nothing to talk about." Xiaobai smiled after finishing speaking.

After Xiao Ran knew that Xiaobai had a career in a bar, he understood why An Ziqi agreed to cooperate with the "Siren Band" at a low price.Xiao Ran looked at her sister with deep eyes, thinking that An Ziqi must have expected that Xiao Bai would be able to indulge freely on the stage under the watchful eyes of everyone, and had already eliminated the pain You Meng had brought her.She couldn't help showing an appreciative smile, she seemed to like her sister's character of silently giving to those around her more and more, but at the same time, she began to feel pity for An Ziqi.Xiao Ran's hand silently held An Ziqi's hand next to him, and held it firmly in his palm. An Ziqi was startled by Xiao Ran's inexplicable behavior, and then smiled at Xiao Ran.

☆, in the dead of night, the melody is lingering

The people in the "Consort's Mansion" were extremely busy these days. As soon as Huazi came down from the second floor, he saw the "Siren Band" coming in from the door in a cool outfit.The three boys went to the stage to adjust the sound of the piano, preparing for the performance.Xiaowei leaned against the bar and whispered to Xiaobai who was standing inside the bar. The two of them would look at each other and smile from time to time, the ambiguity on their faces was hard to hide.

The performance contract of the "Siren Band" is only two weeks, halfway through today, all four of them came before the performance and left after the performance, so the staff in the store hardly talked to them a few times, and they knew very little about it. few.Many things are still known from Huazi's mouth. She always strikes up a conversation with Xiaowei when the performance is not in between.Once, Xiao Ran asked Hua Zi curiously: "What do you and Xiao Wei talk about? It seems that you are always very happy."

Huazi replied: "I usually ask her about school! About the performance before! But it's strange, she asks me about Xiaobai."

Therefore, Xiao Ran became more certain of her previous opinion, and Xiao Wei had already begun to pay attention to Xiao Bai deliberately.

The performance went on as usual, and Xiaobai would also sing a few songs to help out as in the past few days, and sometimes he would take the guitar handed over by Awei and sing while playing. I don’t know when Awei knew that Xiaobai could play As for the guitar, even Xiao Ran and Hua Zi don't know about these things, it seems that Xiaobai and the "Siren Band" are doing well.

During a busy break, Hua Zi approached and asked, "Xiao Ran, haven't you been home for a long time?"

Xiao Ran thought for a while and replied, "It's been almost a month!"

"School is about to start, when are you going to go home and have a look?" Hua Zi continued to ask.

"Uh... I planned to go back before school started. My grandma has been staying at my house, so I should go back and have a look. However, as you can see, since the 'Band of Silence' came, it has become even busier. I guess I don't have time to go back." Xiao Ran said with downcast eyes.

Not long after, Huazi hesitated and said, "They will perform for two weeks, right? After the performance is over, there is still a week before school starts? Maybe this period of time will be better."

Xiao Ran casually replied: "Well, let's see when the time comes!" After speaking, he went back to work.

Xiao Ran felt strange these days, Xiaobai always disappeared after closing the shop, and would come back around noon the next day.Today was no exception, just as Xiao Ran was about to lock the door, Xiao Bai ran down from upstairs, and said with a playful smile: "Wait until you lock the door, I want to go out."

Xiao Ran turned around and saw Xiaobai running out of the store, shook his head, and murmured, "This guy has gone somewhere to fool around."

When Xiao Ran walked into the room on the second floor, An Ziqi was sitting on the sofa with her eyes closed, resting her mind, resting her hands on the back of her neck, shaking her head from side to side.

"Sister, are you tired these days?" Xiao Ran walked over, put his hand on An Ziqi's shoulder and kneaded it gently.

An Ziqi didn't open her eyes, but said lightly from between her lips and teeth, "It's okay."

Xiao Ran leaned over and lightly kissed An Ziqi's forehead, then said, "Go take a bath! Rest early."

An Ziqi nodded, Xiao Ran went into the bedroom and took out her sister's change of clothes, and handed them to An Ziqi.An Ziqi slowly opened her eyes, and what she saw was the distressed expression on the face of the person in front of her. Suddenly, a warm current surged into her heart.Putting his hand on Xiao Ran's cheek, rubbing his fingers between the hair, he said to Xiao Ran in a gentle tone: "I'm fine, just take a rest."

Xiao Ran frowned slightly, looked at An Ziqi with gentle but firm eyes and said, "Sister, I really want to graduate soon."

"Huh?" An Ziqi waited for Xiao Ran's explanation.

"I want to make money to support you."

"Ah?" An Ziqi was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing again, the kiss fell on Xiao Ran's lips, she raised her eyes and said to Xiao Ran, "You want to support me?"

Xiao Ran nodded seriously.

An Ziqi looked at Xiao Ran's expression and found it more and more cute, pinched Xiao Ran's tender face, and teased: "I am very difficult to raise!"

Xiao Ran hurriedly shook her head, "Don't be afraid, I will take care of you no matter how hard it is, I just don't want to watch you work so hard."

"Stupid you! I'm not a kitten or puppy, so I don't need you to keep me." An Ziqi scratched Xiao Ran's nose and continued, "But I can afford you now, do you want to think about it? My kitten or puppy?" An Ziqi rested her arms on the back of the sofa, resting her head on her hands and looking at Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran hummed, ignored An Ziqi, and just pushed her to take a bath.

After the two of them took a bath, they hugged each other and fell asleep as usual.Xiao Ran is very honest today, although the people next to her always have the habit of sleeping naked, she can't control it, but she knows that her sister is exhausted, and she just wants her to have a good night's rest comfortably.Xiao Ran nestled in An Ziqi's arms, with her head resting on An Ziqi's arm and her arms wrapped around her slender waist. She suddenly remembered the words An Ziqi had teased herself just now, "Do you want to be my kitten or puppy? Dog?" Xiao Ran couldn't help laughing, and murmured in his heart: "I really look like your kitten." After thinking about it, he stuck it into her sister's arms and fell asleep sweetly.

In the middle of the night, suddenly, Xiao Ran felt as if something had fallen on him, and made a charming cry, which was extremely deceptive.Xiao Ran was very sleepy, and wanted to push it away with her hands and continue to sleep, but it was difficult to open her eyes, and the screams became more and more intense, making Xiao Ran unable to fall asleep. When I touched it, it felt fluffy and very soft.Xiao Ran grasped it tightly with both hands, wondering if he was using too much force, only to hear it make an "ah!" sound.At this time, Xiao Ran was also awakened from his dream by this cry.

Xiao Ran rubbed her eyes, seeing An Ziqi's sleeping cheek under the moonlight. "It turned out to be a dream!" Xiao Ran woke up and thought in his heart.Carefully turned around in An Ziqi's arms, found a more comfortable position and continued to fall asleep.

For a long time, in Xiao Ran's daze, he heard the voice of a woman moaning and groaning from somewhere, sometimes soft and tender, sometimes hoarse and strenuous, the voice was ups and downs, echoing throughout the room.Temptation and doubts filled Xiao Ran's head, Xiao Ran rubbed his eyes, and slowly opened them, "Xiao Bai has gone out too, it should be only me and Xiao An! Then where did this voice come from?" Xiao Ran said Feeling more and more confused, a trace of fear could not help but arise in my heart.He gently lifted An Ziqi's arm that was on his body, slowly moved himself out, and carefully lowered An Ziqi's arm, tucked the corner of the quilt for An Ziqi, and tiptoed out of the bedroom.

Standing in the living room in pitch darkness, the voice disappeared in an instant, Xiao Ran thought he heard it wrong, shook his head helplessly, and walked towards the bathroom.The door was opened, and he groped for the wall to turn on the light in the bathroom. In an instant, Xiao Ran said "Ah!" and froze at the door.

"Little... little... Xiaobai..." Xiao Ran chirped in response to the scene in front of him.

Xiaobai's upper body was topped, and he was wearing a pair of shorts, clinging to the chest of the naked girl who was sitting on the sink.The two of them were also startled by Xiao Ran's sudden intrusion. After staring blankly for a while, the girl put her hand on Xiao Bai's shoulder and jumped off the sink.It was only then that Xiao Ran noticed that this girl was Xiaowei, the lead singer of the "Siren Band".Suddenly, Xiao Ran's mind went blank, and he stared straight at the two people in front of him.Xiaobai took two bath towels, wrapped himself in one, and handed the other to Xiaowei beside him.Xiao Wei took the towel, wrapped it around her body, raised her eyebrows slightly at Xiao Ran, and walked out of Xiao Ran as if nothing had happened.

Xiao Bai raised the corners of his mouth and tilted his head, watched Xiao Wei walk out of the bathroom, then turned his eyes back, looked at Xiao Ran and said casually: "You want to go to the bathroom?"

Xiao Ran nodded blankly, as if he hadn't recovered from the sudden incident just now.

Xiao Bai patted Xiao Ran's shoulder, "Go!" Then he walked in the direction Xiao Wei left.

Xiao Ran lay back on the bed, staring at the ceiling with his eyes open, his mind was full of the scene just now.An Ziqi beside her moved her body, and asked softly in a haze, "What's wrong?"

"No...it's nothing, Miss Bai is back."

An Ziqi gave a "hmm", hugged Xiao Ran into her arms, and continued to sleep.

The light rain in the early morning stopped An Ziqi and Xiao Ran from running in the morning, and the two of them got out of bed rarely.An Ziqi propped her head on one hand, looked down at Xiao Ran, "What happened last night?" she asked softly, stroking Xiao Ran's hair with her hand.

Xiao Ran's fair face was instantly covered in rosiness, and he said creakingly, "I...I saw...Miss Bai and Xiaowei...in the bathroom..."

Although there were only a few short words, An Ziqi already understood what Xiao Ran was going to say, suppressed a laugh with her lips pursed, and deliberately asked, "What happened in the bathroom?"

Xiao Ran's face was twisted together, wondering how to explain this matter to her sister clearly, "It's...um...that..."

An Ziqi couldn't hold back after all, and burst out laughing.

"Hey! Did you already understand what I'm going to say?" Xiao Ran was unhappy, and turned her back to her sister with her lips pouted.

An Ziqi put her hand on Xiao Ran's shoulder, shook it lightly a few times, and coaxed, "What's wrong? Are you angry?"

Xiao Ran didn't speak.

"Okay! Don't be angry. Did you scare my children last night?"

Xiao Ran still did not speak.

An Ziqi lowered her head, approached Xiao Ran slowly, seemed to be close to Xiao Ran's ear, and said softly, "Tell me, what did you see?"

Xiao Ran blushed, turned around and buried her face in the pillow.

An Ziqi felt funny looking at Xiao Ran's shy look, which made her want to tease the child under her even more.The body sank onto Xiao Ran's body, his lips followed his ears all the way down, his hand reached into the T-shirt from under the hem, and groped up gently, just as his hand touched Xiao Ran's body, Xiao Ran slapped Shivering, his body moved unconsciously, Xiao Ran was a little nervous, but he didn't resist and let An Ziqi move.

The T-shirt was easily taken off by An Ziqi, and kissed all the way along Xiao Ran's soft back. In pajama pants.An Ziqi's body slipped down into the quilt, Xiao Ran's pajama pants and the underwear inside were ripped off by An Ziqi, and her perfect buttocks came into view immediately.

Xiao Ran panted heavily, her face had already turned away from the pillow, her eyes were covered with mist, and she was clutching the pillow tightly.

"Baby, relax..." An Ziqi poked her head out of the quilt, stroking Xiao Ran's smooth back, and whispered softly.

As soon as the words fell, the palm slipped back to Xiao Ran's hip, and the fingers slowly slipped into the charming land, carefully exploring the beauty in it.Xiao Ran's body also rose and fell with the movements of An Ziqi's subordinates, but after a while, An Ziqi leaned close to Xiao Ran's ear and asked softly, "Ran, is this your first time?"

Xiao Ran pursed her lips, turned her head to the other side, and let out a very low voice in her throat, "Mmm!"

A smile appeared on An Ziqi's face, but the smile quickly disappeared from the corners of her lips.What replaced this expression was the slowed movements of his subordinates. An Ziqi made a decision in a very short time.The person under him is just a student, an unworldly child, and there are still many uncertainties in the future.Therefore, An Ziqi knew clearly that this expedition should come to an end.

The fingers slid out with wet dew, and walked in the swamp.Xiao Ran seemed to have sensed something, turned around, and looked at An Ziqi in front of her. The corners of her brows and eyes were full of charm, but why didn't she make any further moves?Before Xiao Ran could figure it out, he was hugged by An Ziqi, and the two lay quietly facing each other. Xiao Ran wanted to ask something, but he only saw her mouth opening and closing, without saying anything. any sound.An Ziqi's kiss landed on Xiao Ran's lips again, perhaps, this was already announcing the end of this tender relationship.

☆, mutation

It's time for the "Prince Consort's Mansion" to open, and Xiao Bai talks and laughs as usual, but Xiao Ran doesn't dare to face Xiao Bai as if he has done something wrong.After lunch, Xiao Bai came to Xiao Ran's side, put his arm on Xiao Ran's shoulder, and said with a smirk, "Scared?"

Xiao Ran stared at Xiaobai with staring eyes, but did not speak, with a stalemate smile hanging on his face.

"What a good boy! Is this the first time you've seen this scene?" Xiaobai joked, and then said, "Impossible! Don't you stay in Xiaoan's room every now and then? You two don't know Not yet..." Xiao Bai raised his eyebrows and asked in a strange way.

Xiao Ran felt that it was not suitable to continue this topic. The Xiaobai opposite was a person who had absolutely no limit to his words, but he was different.In an instant, he ran away with a flushed face, leaving only Xiao Bai with a smirk on his face.

In the evening, it rained suddenly again, and the "Consort's Mansion" was also deserted, but the "Siren Band" still came on time, the same audition tuned the piano, and the same hard-working performance, the audience was in groups The people sat scattered, and Xiao Ran also stood somewhere in the hall together.After Xiaobai sang two songs, he walked off the stage and sat in front of the dining table on the far right in the first row, leaning on the dining chair, dragging his head with his arms on the back of the chair, and Xiaowei on the stage, The infinite ambiguity is conveyed with the eyes.

Because there were few customers, Hua Zi took Xiao Jingyi back early, and the "Siren Band" also packed up their things and planned to leave.Before going out, Xiao Wei looked back at Xiao Bai, Xiao Bai raised her eyebrows, stood up, and said to An Ziqi, "Xiao An, I'm going out!" After speaking, she walked straight towards Xiao Wei, Xiao Wei The corners of her mouth raised and she stood there until Xiaobai approached, she took Xiaobai's arm, and a group of five walked into the rain.

"Sister, your phone is ringing." Xiao Ran shouted to An Ziqi who was taking a shower in the bathroom.

"Pick it up for me, just say I'm taking a shower, and return to her later." An Ziqi said.

Xiao Ran picked up the phone, and the word "You Meng" was displayed on the screen.After picking up the phone, before Xiao Ran could speak, the other party spoke first.

"Xiao'an, let Meiyin answer the phone, okay? Please." You Meng's voice was a little choked up.

"Uh...my sister is taking a shower, let her get back to you later, okay?" Xiao Ran said.

After a while, You Meng's voice was not heard.Xiao Ran asked tentatively, "Are you still there?"

"Oh, okay! Thank you!" You Meng replied softly.

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Ran told An Ziqi that it was You Meng calling.

After the sound of splashing water stopped, An Ziqi came out from the bathroom, her wet hair draped over the towel on her shoulders.An Ziqi sat in front of the mirror, wiped her hair lightly, picked up the hair dryer, held the hair dryer in one hand, and fiddled with her hair casually with the other hand.At this time, An Ziqi's cell phone rang again, Xiao Ran picked it up and handed it to Xiao An.

"Hello, Ah Meng." An Ziqi said softly.

Seeing that the hair dryer was still in An Ziqi's hand, Xiao Ran got up and stood behind An Ziqi, took the hair dryer from her hand over, and swayed it to blow on her sister's hair. In An Ziqi's hair, An Ziqi turned her head and smiled gently at Xiao Ran.

The air duct was buzzing, Xiao Ran couldn't hear what An Ziqi said to You Meng on the phone, but saw An Ziqi in the mirror with a face as watery and frowning.Her hair gradually dried, Xiao Ran turned off the hair dryer, and An Ziqi was still talking on the phone.Most of the time, An Ziqi was holding the phone, listening thoughtfully to what was being said, only occasionally responding with a few words.

"She's been fine recently."

"Did you really decide that?"

"Have you thought about the consequences?"

"She's really not here."

"I don't know."

……

A few words were mixed with sighs. After hanging up the phone, An Ziqi sat there in a daze for a long time...

The performance of the "Siren Band" was coming to an end. After the last performance, the staff in the store had a meal with the band members.During the meal, the atmosphere was harmonious, full of laughter and laughter. Xiaowei clung to Xiaobai, and would feed Xiaobai a few mouthfuls of food from time to time. It seemed that the relationship between Xiaobai and Xiaowei had become an open secret in the eyes of everyone.The difference from the previous few days is that Xiaobai seemed to dodge Xiaowei's ambiguous behavior today. Although there was no difference on the surface, his demeanor was much restrained.

As soon as the meal was over, Xiao Ran's cell phone rang, and Xiao Ran picked it up and walked out of the restaurant.Walking and saying: "Mom!"

Only the sound of crying came from the other end of the phone, and no one spoke from time to time.

"Mom! What's the matter?" Xiao Ran's voice became anxious.

Xiao Ran heard a faint voice on the other end again, but it didn't seem like he was talking to himself, "Let me talk about it!"

The other end suddenly became quiet, and when the voice came out again, it was the voice of a middle-aged man, "Ran Ran!"

"Dad! What's wrong with Mom? What happened?" Xiao Ran recognized his father's voice, and wanted to ask again.

"Ran Ran..." Ran's father paused, took a long breath, and continued, "Your grandma passed away..."

"Grandmother...grandmother...she..." Xiao Ran's throat was suddenly choked with sobs. A few days ago, her mother told herself that her grandma missed her. Unexpectedly, in just a few days, the yin and yang were separated, and grandma didn't even When she comes home, she just wants to go back after the band's performance, and today is the last day of the band's performance, maybe... maybe, Xiao Ran can go back tomorrow, but... Grandma, she... Xiao Ran squatted down Turning around, holding his knees with his hands, he stuck his head in his knees, a wave of remorse and the sadness of losing a loved one turned into teardrops, which kept flowing down his cheeks.

"Ran Ran, your mother and I will pick you up from school tomorrow morning, and we will take your grandma back to her hometown for burial." Ran's father was in a fairly stable mood, and he wanted to keep a clear head so that he could arrange the next things.

Xiao Ran said "um", and when he was about to hang up the phone, he said to his father on the other end of the phone, "Dad, take good care of my mother."

Ran's father on the other end of the phone let out a "hmm" and hung up.

Among the noisy crowd outside the restaurant, Xiao Ran hugged her knees and squatted beside the grass. Among the people coming and going, no one noticed her existence. Time passed in sadness, and when Xiao Ran raised her head, her eyes were already swollen from crying.She stood up slowly, glanced into the restaurant, and did not plan to go in again, took out her mobile phone and dialed Huazi's number.

"Xiao Ran, where have you been? We're all gone, and I want to ask you if you want to go back to school together?"

"You go first! I'll go back by myself later." Xiao Ran paused, and then said, "I have to take a few days off, my grandma passed away, and I will go back to my hometown with my parents tomorrow morning."

Hua Zi was startled, and after a while, he said, "Are you okay? Where are you now? I'll go find you, and we'll go back to school together."

Xiao Ran took a long breath and wiped away the tears on his cheeks again, "I'm fine."

"Oh, then you should come back early." Hua Zi didn't know what to say for a while, but then suddenly remembered something, and continued, "Xiao An was still looking for you just now! I couldn't get in when I called you."

"okay, I get it."

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Ran looked around, but he didn't see An Ziqi. While walking around the restaurant, he picked up the phone in his hand and dialed An Ziqi's cell phone once, twice... five times, Six times...until the cold voice came from the phone—"Sorry, the call you made is temporarily unanswered."

Just as Xiao Ran took the phone away from his ear, he heard a faintly familiar ringtone. Xiao Ran stopped and stood on the spot and listened carefully, "Xiaoan's phone ringtone?" Xiao Ran followed the sound. Walking forward, she could only hear the ringing sound getting clearer and clearer. She had already walked to the back of the restaurant, an empty wasteland, which was used as a temporary parking lot by the restaurant, the lights were dim, and there were only a few empty cars parked there. , In the dead of night, the ringtone is getting closer and closer.

"Sister—" the voice just came from Xiao Ran's subconscious mind, the voice pierced the night sky, and replaced the piercing ringtone and reached An Ziqi's ears.

Before Xiao Ran could wait for An Ziqi to turn her head, she ran back with all her strength.

"Xiao Ran!" An Ziqi pushed away the woman in her arms and wanted to chase after Xiao Ran, but the woman grabbed her arm.

"Let me go!" An Ziqi grabbed the woman's hand with the other hand, and pushed it out forcefully. The cold light in her eyes was several times colder than usual, like a sharp arrow that had been frozen for a long time, without any emotion stabbing at the woman in front of him.

The woman didn't show any weakness, she held An Ziqi's hand even tighter, her arm turned white, but the corner of the woman's mouth curled into a wicked smile, "Do you still want to dump me like you did a few years ago? "

An Ziqi's eyebrows twitched. She didn't know what she was touched by the woman's words. Her face turned pale, and her gaze became deeper and more complicated. There was a hint of emotion, but it was just a burst of emotion, and then, the tone was still cold, "I'm sorry! But, we never started!"

The woman let go of her hand, and replaced it with a "slap" on An Ziqi's delicate cheek. "Haven't it started? What was that night?" The woman's voice sneered.

An Ziqi bit her lower lip tightly, enduring the sudden burning pain, her pretty face was still as cold as ice.

"Speak up!" The woman became impatient.

"It's impossible for us. It was impossible before, and it's even more impossible now." An Ziqi said firmly, but her heart was filled with anxiety, "I was sorry for you before, but this slap has wiped our account from now on." After the voice fell, An Ziqi turned around, walked to the entrance of the parking lot, took out her mobile phone and started calling Xiao Ran over and over again, but there was no answer on the other side of the phone until the phone was finally turned off.

An Ziqi searched for Xiao Ran in the street like she lost her soul, with tears in her eyes, she kept calling Xiao Ran's name in her heart again and again, she was terrified of this kind of loss, a feeling that she couldn't catch if she wanted to catch it. a feeling of.It was supposed to be beautiful, but because she messed up everything, An Ziqi began to regret her momentary soft-heartedness, and agreed to such a condition from that woman.

An Ziqi searched street by street along Beach Road, and called Xiaobai, but Xiaobai knew from Xiaoran that Xiao Ran had not returned to the "son-in-law's mansion".He called Huazi again, but Huazi also did not see Xiao Ran.An Ziqi's heart rose to her throat, and she silently prayed in her heart, "No accident will happen to you!" The phone pressed Xiao Ran's number again, but there was still a cold shutdown prompt.

The night gradually deepened, and the lights of the shops on the side of the street were gradually turned off. Under the dim streetlights, there was a figure of a thin and tall woman looking around. "Where are you?" Hot tears flowed from the corners of An Ziqi's eyes, and she looked helplessly at the familiar streets. Once again, she wandered to the edge of loss. It was the loss after gaining it, and she destroyed it with one hand. All the beauty of it.Just when she was about to lose all hope, her cell phone rang suddenly.

☆, funeral

"Sister An, Xiao Ran is back." Hua Zi's voice was very low, as if he was hiding in the corridor of the dormitory talking on the phone.

An Ziqi breathed a sigh of relief suddenly, her tense body softened all of a sudden, she squatted on the ground with her hands on the tree beside her, she calmed down and asked, "Is she alright?"

"She looks very sad, maybe it's because of her grandmother's death!" Hua Zi didn't know what happened to An Ziqi and Xiao Ran just now, looking at Xiao Ran's eyes that were red from crying, he guessed that it was with her grandmother related.

"Her grandmother passed away? When did it happen?" An Ziqi stood up suddenly, and stood there motionless like a log, staring blankly at a certain place on the street.

"It's about tonight! Didn't she tell you?" Hua Zi was a little surprised. Could it be that An Ziqi came to Xiao Ran because he wanted to comfort Xiao Ran's grief over the loss of a loved one?

An Ziqi was silent for a while, and then said to Hua Zi on the other end of the phone: "I see, you can take care of her for me!"

"Well, I will." Huazi agreed.

After hanging up the phone, An Ziqi stood there for a long time, going over what happened tonight from the beginning to the end, and then slowly walked back to the "son-in-law's mansion".

When he entered, Xiaobai was sitting in the lobby on the first floor with the lights off, staring at something out of focus.The door rang, and Xiao Bai regained his composure, and asked An Ziqi, who was also in a daze, "Did you find it?"

An Ziqi nodded, pushing her tired body to go upstairs.Xiao Bai followed behind her and went upstairs together.

On the sofa, Xiaobai was holding a bottle of beer and fell into deep thought again. An Ziqi sat beside Xiaobai wrapped in a bathrobe, picked up the remote control, and turned on the TV. The TV program was under An Ziqi's remote control. Switching constantly.

Xiaobai was a little annoyed by the flickering light in front of him, "If you don't look at it, just turn it off!"

"Huh?" An Ziqi regained her composure, said "Oh" again, and turned off the TV.The living room suddenly entered darkness, only a floor lamp exuded orange light.

"Did you break up with her?" An Ziqi asked while sitting quietly on the sofa, looking at a corner of the coffee table.

Xiaobai nodded and did not speak. The wine bottle in his hand was pressed to his lips. When he raised his head, "Gulu" took a big gulp.

"Are you okay?" An Ziqi turned to look at Xiao Bai, and asked with concern.

Xiaobai sneered, "Of course, I'm not the one who got dumped." Xiaobai's tone didn't seem to care, and he was even a little complacent, but there was an indescribable gloom in his downcast eyes. .

An Ziqi's eyes were dark, and she looked directly at Xiao Bai.There seemed to be pity and helplessness in her eyes.

After a long time, Xiao Bai stood up and said to An Ziqi, "I'm going to sleep."

Not long after, An Ziqi also stood up, followed Xiao Bai to the bedroom door, and said, "Did you call her back?"

Xiao Bai turned his head to look at An Ziqi, with his lips tightly pressed together.

"You still called her back..." An Ziqi had a hint of disappointment in her eyes, "Do you really believe this is the last year of waiting?"

"I've been waiting for so many years, and I don't care about waiting another year, maybe it's true!" Xiao Bai said with helplessness in his tone.

"But..." An Ziqi hesitated to speak.

"Stop talking, I know you are doing it for my own good. But, I really can't let her go." Xiaobai sighed for a long time, and continued, "Don't worry! I'm fine, haven't I Have a great time!"

"Is this considered good?!" An Ziqi glanced at Xiao Bai, with pity in her eyes.

"Isn't that good? Stay with whoever you want, and break up if you want to. Such freedom is not so easy to achieve." A smile quickly appeared on Xiao Bai's face, "Besides you Didn't you promise You Meng to take care of me? What am I afraid of?" Xiao Bai put his arm on Xiao An's shoulder after speaking.

Xiao An flicked his body lightly, and Xiao Bai's arm just fell into the air.Immediately, Xiao An pouted, turned and walked back to her bedroom.

"Hey! What's the matter with you and that child?" For a moment, Xiao Bai seemed to think of something, and asked An Ziqi's bedroom.

"It's okay!" A faint reply came from the room.

Xiao Bai pouted, and the smile disappeared from the corner of her lips.

The oppressive atmosphere, the plain clothes, the choked up crying... Xiao Ran followed his parents back to his grandmother's house in the countryside. As soon as he stepped into the main room, he was brought to the funeral by a middle-aged man from the same village.Li Bi raised his head, and there was a photo of his grandmother in the black frame in the middle.Xiao Ran still remembers this smile. It was taken by her grandma on the second day of the first lunar month in her freshman year. At that time, she had just bought a camera, and she was ecstatic to bring her beloved camera to greet her grandma. She laughed all the way. From ear to ear, he kept clamoring to take a picture of each of his relatives, but when he got off the car, Xiao Ran's excited expression was all restrained, and he timidly followed behind his mother. When seeing grandma, her mother smiled Said: "Didn't you say that you will use the new camera to take pictures of grandma?" Grandma looked at her granddaughter.Xiao Ran hugged the camera bag tightly and nodded.

That was the happiest time Xiao Ran had seen her grandmother's few smiles.Grandma specified to take pictures in the yard in front of the house. Father moved a chair and placed it in front of the house. Grandma sat there upright. She tried her best to straighten her back, with a tense and serious expression that made Xiao Ran wonder whether she should press it or not. I shot the shutter, fortunately there was a little cousin squatting next to Xiao Ran
