"Senior."

Lin Na stood in the rest area of ​​the swimming pool with her hands behind her back, looking up at Ji Gu.In terms of age, the other party is a full year older than her.Since childhood, Ji Mi has always been one level higher than Lin Na, but one year he dropped out of school due to illness, and since then he has become a student of the same level as her.But Lin Na still habitually called him senior.

"Auntie said, Uncle and the others are holding a party at the mansion tonight, please don't miss it."

"I see," Ji Mi nodded, and ordered an elementary school boy next to him to get a drink for Lin Na, "Is there anything else?"

"Thank you." Lin Na was about to pick up the cup of mint tea with ice cubes, Ji Mi habitually touched the cup wall, frowned and raised her hand to cut it off.

"It's too cold, girls, drink less iced ones, besides, my aunt said that you've been suffering from stomach problems recently, so be more careful." Ji Mi said casually, and handed her the boiled hot mango juice.

"I want to talk to the senior. Is there a convenient place to talk here?"

"I probably know what you want to say." Ji Mi chewed the lemon slices floating on the mint tea.

That is something they all know very well, and no one can avoid it, and no one can escape it.

When Ji Mi reached the most remote corner of the swimming pool, he leaned against the pillar and stopped.He had just trimmed his hair two days ago, and changed to a new brand of shaving water. With a well-ironed white shirt, he looked extraordinarily refreshed.

"My aunt has already told me," Lin Na lowered her head and said with a little shyness, "Since I was young, the senior has always been the person I admire the most. Our family creates a brighter future."

The girl had long black hair over her shoulders and was wearing a white dress.She opened her eyes wide, looking at Ji Mi expectantly.

"I'm very sorry, Nana." Ji Mi pondered for a while, and he spread his hands, "It would be a great honor to have you join me for the rest of my life. But, I'm sorry. If I have to give a reason If so, then I want to say, I don't like marriages without feelings, I can compromise with everything for the benefit of the family, but this is the only one I can't do."

This person has always been like this, and has not changed at all.

Lin Na sighed, holding the hot glass in her hand, but couldn't feel the slightest warmth.

There will always be such a kind of people, their subconscious has been used to take care of others, regardless of whether they are in the heart, it is just the instinct of the body.They are always polite and caring, but they are cold in their bones. They can say the most hurtful words in the most gentle tone, and you will be stabbed in the chest invisibly, and the blood will be lost. Can't feel any pain.

"That is to say, the senior doesn't like me." Lin Na's face turned pale, "Why? Is there something I haven't done well in the past ten years? It's not enough to make the senior feel even a little affection for me?"

"I know, you are a good girl," Ji Mi exhaled slowly, shaking her head loosely, "but I am not a good person, we are not suitable."

Lin Na stared at him in disbelief, not understanding what he meant.

"Believe me, Nana. The person in front of you is very bad. He is not as good or perfect as you imagined. Not only will he not be able to give you happiness, but he will also..."

Ji Mi who was talking suddenly stopped, as if seeing something, his pupils shrank suddenly and his face turned pale.

In the deep pool not far away, a thin boy was struggling, and his whole body was about to be submerged in the water.

"Senior?"

Lin Na was taken aback, and watched Ji Mi jump into the pool, causing water to splash everywhere.

47.

Chai Jiu was almost unconscious, the cold water infiltrated from his mouth and nose, his ears were buzzing, and his eyes were so painful that he could barely open them.

About 10 minutes ago, after he was caught by the group, he fell into a seemingly endless torture.They pressed his head into the water until he was about to suffocate, and then grabbed him. Before he could take a few breaths of fresh air, they pressed him in again, and so many times. Second-rate.They played with him, enjoyed it, and laughed like hunters with game in a trap.

At the end, no one knew who kicked him forward, and he fell into the swimming pool. They might have thought he could swim, but they were wrong.Chai Jiu, a person who can’t even jump in the shallow pool where children play, is pushed into the five-meter-deep pool, and what awaits him is that he is completely submerged, and those who pushed him are probably Feeling guilty, she disappeared in an instant, leaving only Chai Jiu struggling in the water.

So painful, so desperate, already so tired, what are you still working on, why don't you stop and end it early.

Chai Jiu thought with the last sliver of consciousness.

There were two times in his life that he was so passively close to death. He was either buried in a fire when he was eight years old, or drowned in deep water at this moment.

But no matter how he died, no one cared about his life.

It seems that it doesn't matter if he died like this, let alone any regrets.

Chai Jiu thought of the wallpaper knife in the toilet two months ago. When he finally left, the knife was placed on the ground so brightly, like a letter from the god of death.

No—it's the fabled Samara covenant

"A merchant in Baghdad sent his servant to buy grain. While in the market, the servant met Death, who made a threatening gesture. The servant ran back to the merchant's house and borrowed a horse for safety and fled to Samarra. ..."

In that small but bright piano room, the woman was still wearing the light gray silk gauze dress, elegant and beautiful, and she was sitting on the piano bench telling stories to the children.The young Chai Jiu lay on the woman's lap, while her younger sister sat in the woman's arms.

"The servant came back, pale and trembling, and said to him: 'Master, when I was in the market just now, I felt a woman push me hard from behind. When I looked back, it was the god of death who pushed me. Me. She's looking at me and making a nasty gesture at me! Please lend me your horse, I'm going to ride away from this city, from this fate. I'm going to Samara, so that death will find Not to me!'"

The woman imitates the dialogue of the characters vividly, but the expression on her face is always sad and even compassionate.

"In this way, the merchant lent his horse to the servant, and the servant whipped the horse and galloped away."

Chai Jiu and his sister stared at the woman intently.

"Did he escape successfully?"

Chai Jiu asked.The woman didn't answer, but asked back while touching his head.

"What do you think?"

"I don't know, um, maybe he ran away?"

The woman just smiled, but didn't go any further.

Her wrist was still so slender and white, but there were many bruises caused by violence.And in the entire room they were in, there was only an old piano left, and the four walls were bare, without any furnishings.

It was not until a long, long time later that Chai Jiu learned the second half of the story from a book.

—Then the merchant came to the market and saw Death standing in the crowd, so he came up and asked: "Why did you make a threatening gesture to my servant this morning when you saw him?" "That was not a threat gesture," said Death, "that was just a surprised reaction. I was surprised to see him in Baghdad because I made an appointment with him tonight in Samarra.'"

The servant fled from Baghdad to Samara, only to die in the end.

Why did mother tell such a desperate story at that time?

Chai Jiu doesn't like that story, neither the past, the present, nor the non-existent future.

"Calm down, Ji, take a deep breath."

Miss Ark said the thick lenses gleamed in the sunlight.

"You need to relax a little more, Ji, control yourself, you can do it."

"No, no, no..." Ji Mi knelt on one knee and covered her head, her fingers deeply inserted into her hair, her palms pressed against her scalp, with a painful expression on her face, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

"Enough, Ji." Miss Ark stroked his shoulder gently, "Forget about it, distract your attention, and think of something pleasant. Come, take a deep breath, don't hold your breath."

"No—" Ji Gu's voice was choked with sobs, trembling all over, "Leo, Leo is calling for help underwater! I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

"That's not your fault, Ji, your pain only comes from yourself." Miss Ark put her arms around Ji Mi, patted his back, as if comforting her younger brother, "Now that you've grown up, you've grown up." With the ability to turn things around, you did a great job today! You are awesome! You saved that boy in the pool! You didn't fall twice in the same place! You were a success! Well Ji, now be happy a little,"

"But," Ji Gu's eyes were loose, "Leo is still lying on the bottom of the water, Leo can never go home again, Leo..."

"Leo won't blame you, and neither will Jenny, and little Vivienne," Miss Ark kissed his forehead, "you will be blessed, Ji. Now, let's see you from death The boy I snatched from my hand, his name is Chai Jiu, right? Very cute little guy, very beautiful. Is he oriental? Although his skin looks like a Caucasian, I guess he must be half He is of Asian descent, look how slender his bones are. Here, do these eyes look like Chinese phoenix eyes? Don’t you always like China, Ji? Apart from his white skin, this boy is in line with your perception of the East. All the fantasies of the ancient country are like the set of blue and white porcelain that you accidentally broke when you were a child..."

Accompanied by Ms. Ark's voice, Ji Mi's eyes turned to Chai Jiu on the hospital bed, and the corners of her mouth finally lifted.

"Ah."

The slender and beautiful boy moved his eyelids, as if he was about to wake up.

"It seems that my time is up." Miss Ark smiled, "Although I really want to say goodbye next time, I still hope that you will always be well and never need me to show up. So, good luck to you, Ji."
