The room Zhang Ai arranged for Zhong Xiao was very far away, and Zhong Xiao stood at the door for a long time before pushing the door in.

The room has not been cleaned for a long time, and the dust smell is very heavy.Furnishings are the same as before.

Zhong Xiao fumbled around and was covered in ashes.He sat down by the bed and stared at the head of the bed, where his mother He Na died, committing suicide.He was six years old that year, as young as he could remember.

After sitting there for some time, there was a knock on the door.Zhong Xiao was stunned for a while before remembering the fireworks display at the beach that he had just made an appointment with.He kept silent, thinking that he could pretend to be asleep and escape.

Unexpectedly, Zhong Mingcheng kept knocking.Zhong Xiao opened the door helplessly, and found that besides Zhong Mingcheng, there was Zhang Yi at the door.

When Zhong Mingcheng saw him, he happily carried him out, saying that you slept soundly.Zhang Yi followed behind without saying a word, and Zhong Xiao could feel his gaze on her, with observation and scrutiny.

If it was put in the past, Zhong Xiao would feel nervous because of this.But now he won't, he has followed He Na's explanation step by step to the present, he has nothing to ask for, and his heart is open.

There was nothing Zhang Ai wanted in him.As far as Zhang Yi is concerned, he no longer scares him like before.

The wind on the beach is very strong, and there are not many people.Zhong Xiao wore less clothes, and stood shyly aside, watching Zhong Mingcheng and the others light the fireworks.

One after another, the fireworks rose into the sky, blasting out colorful colors, and the shape of the fireworks was reflected on the sea.

Zhong Xiao looked up and saw nothing but coldness.He never seemed to have much feeling for this romantic and lovely thing in the eyes of others.Because he knows that whether it is fireworks or the joy they bring to people, they are short-lived.

When Zhong Xiao was shivering from the cold, Zhong Mingcheng stuffed a firework in his hand and pulled him to play with him.

Zhong Xiao followed his example and danced wildly for a few times. After he was playing with others, he put it down again. The fireworks headed towards the beach and slowly burned out.Zhong Xiao saw the black firework ashes drifting away with the night wind at a very fast speed.

Suddenly someone pulled him aside very strongly, and a blue light brushed his chin and shot into the sky.If I hadn't dodged in time, I'm afraid I would have shot him in the face.

The blue light flew to the surface of the sea and exploded into a blue light.Zhong Xiao looked back at the person pulling him, it was actually Zhang Yi, his hand clasped his wrist.Zhang Yi's hands are hot, and his hands are cold.

He reflexively wanted to break free, but he didn't expect Zhang Yi to hold on very tightly. He couldn't break free at all. Instead, he lost his center of gravity because of too much force, and knelt down on the sand.But as soon as his knees touched the sand, Zhang Yi lifted him up, and he also grabbed his waist.Zhong Xiao is half leaning in Zhang Yi's arms.

The distance between the two had never been so close. Zhong Xiao was not used to it. After standing still, he secretly tried his best to break away from Zhang Yi, while carefully thanking Zhang Yi: "Thank you."

Zhang Yi didn't speak, Zhong Xiao had to look up at him, he had just reached Zhang Yi's shoulder.Zhang Yi raised his head and looked at the sky.

A group of people next door lit very powerful fireworks, which lit up half of the night sky when they exploded, like stars.One after another, the stars are always on.

Zhong Xiao is not in the mood to appreciate it at all, his attention is all on Zhang Yi's hand on his waist, and the hand clasping his wrist, how can he get rid of it without a trace?

Just like before, keep a distance from him without any trace, polite, courteous, unfamiliar, and far away.

Zhong Xiao was in a dilemma, but fortunately Zhong Mingcheng ran over.Before he ran close, Zhang Yi let go naturally, and Zhong Xiao silently moved aside.

Zhong Mingcheng ran close and asked him nervously, "Did you do anything just now?"

Zhong Xiao looked at him with a worried face: "?"

"Just now Minghua accidentally dropped the firecracker in his hand, I saw it was shooting towards you, so hurry up and take a look, are you okay?" Zhong Mingcheng explained.

Zhong Xiao shook his head, Zhong Mingcheng was relieved to see that he was fine.Seeing that Zhang was also on the side, he was a little surprised and said: "Minghua has been looking for you, asking where my little uncle is, so you are hiding here!"

Zhang also responded: "Oh, is that so?"

Zhong Xiao hurriedly shrank his neck and moved a few steps silently, whether it was farther away from Zhang Yi or Zhong Mingcheng.

Zhang Yi suddenly said, "Is it cold?"

Zhong Xiao thought he was asking Zhong Mingcheng, so he lowered his head and said nothing.

Zhang Yi asked again: "Zhong Xiao, are you cold?"

Zhong Mingcheng also noticed that he had been shrinking his neck, stepped forward and squeezed his clothes: "You're not wearing a down jacket!"

Zhong Xiao smiled, he didn't have a down jacket.The cotton coat on his body was issued by the school, and he has been wearing it for two years.

Zhong Mingcheng immediately began to take off his coat, but was stopped by Zhang Yi: "You guys play first, I'll just take him to the car."

Zhong Xiao quickly interjected: "I'm not cold."

Zhong Mingcheng touched his hand: "It's all frozen!"

"It's fine for me to go to the car by myself, you guys continue to play." Zhong Xiao said again.

Zhang Yi glanced at him, then turned and walked towards the parking lot.Zhong Mingcheng pushed Zhong Xiao: "Hurry up, don't catch a cold!"

Zhong Xiao looked at Zhang Yi's back and followed him in a tangled manner.

The car was parked on the edge of the beach, Zhang Yi took a few steps to the side of the car, opened the co-pilot's door early, and waited for him to get in the car.

Zhong Xiao got into the car with his head down, Zhang Yi also got into the car, and turned on the heater.The warm wind blows softly on Zhong Xiao's stiff legs that have been frozen for a long time.He didn't know what to say to Zhang Yi, so he turned his head and pretended to watch the fireworks outside.

Zhang Yi was looking at him again, his undisguised gaze made his scalp numb and nervous, so he had to twist his body closer to the window.

"How are you at school this year?" Zhang Yi asked him.

Zhong Xiao had no choice but to end the awkward posture, sat upright and answered him: "It's pretty good."

"Are those people still bullying you?"

Zhong Xiao looked at Zhang Yi suspiciously, as if he didn't understand his question.

Zhang Yi asked again: "Does anyone still bully you? At school."

Zhong Xiao didn't know how he knew that someone was bullying him in the school. He transferred to this vocational high school the year before last, from the former noble high school.Zhong Jianyang is the major shareholder of Noble High School, and Zhong Mingcheng's three brothers and sisters all study in it.However, it is Zhang Ai who carries out school management affairs.

Although Zhang Ai never said it clearly, Zhong Xiao knew that she didn't want him to stay in this high school, so he offered to transfer to another school, and he chose the vocational high school himself.

It's just that he didn't expect that when he just entered the school, his identity as the Zhong family would be exposed, and the people who troubled him would call after call, all asking for money, and if he didn't give it, they would beat him up.

After more than a year, it stopped last year.He always thought that those people were annoying him after they found out that they really couldn't get any benefit from him.From Zhang Yi's words, it seems that this is not the case.

He shook his head and said no more, Zhang Yi said: "That's good."

Zhong Xiao hesitated for a while, grabbed his knees and said, "Thank you." He thought that Zhang Yi had done something to make people in the school stop bothering him, but he didn't know why Zhang Yi did this.

Zhang Yi, like Zhang Ai, doesn't like him, he has always known it.Before her death, He Na repeatedly told him to keep a distance from Zhang Yi. He was Zhong Mingcheng's little uncle, not his little uncle.Don't do anything offensive.

Zhang Yi asked him again: "What are your plans after graduation? Don't you want to go to university?"

Zhong Xiao felt that he had grasped Zhang Yi's intention to help him. He thought about his words and answered carefully: "No, I don't know how to read. It's better to go out and do things earlier."

Zhang also did not speak.

Zhong Xiao looked at his expression: "Well, I won't ask for anything, don't worry, I won't ask for anything."

Zhang Yi's eyes suddenly became sharp.

Zhong Xiao became nervous when he looked at him, and continued to stammer: "I, I really don't want anything. I want those things, but it's useless. Dad knows it too, I'm not Mingcheng They are a waste to me—"

"What are you talking about?" Zhang Yi interrupted him.
