Chapter 20

I'm always partial to you...

When someone says something like that to you when you most want to be recognized, no one won't be moved.

As soon as Yu Zhi realized that she subconsciously had a dependence on Shi Yi, this dependence rapidly intensified during the period of her suffering and torment.

At night, she couldn't sleep. When she sat on the bed with her knees tucked and looked at the black sky outside the window, she couldn't help but think of the bits and pieces that had happened.

"Ta-"

groping for the night light by the bedside, the warm light beam illuminates a small area beside the bed, Yu Zhiyi uses this light to walk to the desk, press the switch of the desk lamp, and the incandescent light illuminates most of the bedroom.

Open the desk drawer, take out a locked diary from the innermost drawer, slide the password numbers skillfully with your fingers, and open the delicate and compact keyhole.

Open the diary, the pages used have accounted for one-third of the total number of pages in the book.

Holding the pen, she wrote a few columns of bold letters on the paper, stroke by stroke, until they all became the name of "Shi Yi".

She knew that habitual dependence was a more deadly poison than love.

But she didn't want to let go.

With September approaching, there are new issues to think about at home.

Ning Suya pulled Shiyi aside and whispered about going to school, "School will start soon. Is it not suitable to go to school in this state?"

Ning Suya is also a woman, and she knows that girls care very much about their appearance.

Yu Zhiyi had a wound on her face, which could not be completely eliminated in a short time, which caused her psychological shadow to persist. Sometimes they will subconsciously avoid the perspective in front of them, and now they refuse to even leave the door, let alone go to a crowded place like a school.

"I will find a suitable time to ask Yiyi's thoughts. If she doesn't want to go, I will contact Yiyi's family to go to the hospital to issue a certificate and apply for a long vacation from the school." He had already thought of a way out.

The outside world is very complicated, and not everyone has a good idea. If Yu Zhiyi is forced out before she gets out of the predicament, it will only be counterproductive.

If you have a wound on your face, it will be difficult to accept other people's eyes.

If there are more ignorant people gossiping, the little girl should feel inferior again.

Shi Yi discussed the countermeasures with his mother, and the next step was to inquire about Yu Zhiyi's thoughts.

There's no need to be side-by-side. The start of school in September is a problem that every student will face. He simply asked straight to the point, "If the school starts at that time, do you want to report to the school now?"

Sure enough, Yu Zhiyi heard this information. She reflexively avoided his gaze and responded in a weak voice, "Can we not go?"

Even expressing his thoughts was so careful, really...

Shi Yi sighed inwardly, but a warm smile appeared on his face as he touched her. Her head said, "You can stay away for the time being, my brother will help you deal with it."

It was not going for the time being, to give her time to buffer, but one day he would pull her out of the dark shadow.

——On

September 1st, when my grandmother came back, she called Ning Suya's mobile phone, saying that she really wanted to meet her granddaughter.

Ning Suya heard from Ruan Qing that her grandmother was sick and was hospitalized, and she understood the old man's thoughts, so she told the old man the address of her home.

Although Yu Zhiyi was afraid of her parents, she still had deep feelings for her grandmother who had been with her since childhood. It is precisely because of this deep family affection that it has become a double-edged sword. When she was most helpless, she was cut with blood by the knife's edge.

When grandma saw the scars on the child's face with her own eyes, she burst into tears on the spot, "What a sin!"

Yu Zhi touched her face consciously, and quickly took out the mask from the drawer and put it on, and put the bangs on her forehead down to cover it. forehead.

Grandma quickly explained, "Grandma didn't mean that, don't do this."

Yu Zhi shook his head, took out a tissue and handed it to the old man, "Grandma, don't cry, I'm all right now."

I'm all right now...

Hearing the child's bitter words, the old man couldn't control his emotions and cried. Holding my granddaughter's hand, "One by one, grandma is back, go home with grandma."

Going home...

This sentence seems familiar.

Oh, my brother also told her to take her home.

Yu Zhi avoided talking about that topic, and instead asked, "Is grandma feeling better?"

Grandma nodded again and again, "It's alright, it's alright."

"That's good." Hearing the result, she relaxed. After a sigh of relief, "grandma should tell us if she feels uncomfortable in the future and get treatment in time."

At first, she really thought that her parents were separated and her grandmother would rather live with her daughter, so she left this place and left her.

Knowing the truth now is comforting.

She understands the old man's thoughts, but if she is allowed to return to that place now, she still resists in her heart.

Sometimes I fell asleep and dreamed, dreaming that I was busy with housework at my former home, and I was really cold-eyed and scolded. Every time I saw myself red with blood at the end, I was scared to wake up, huddled in the bed and never dared to close it again. Eye.

She was afraid that as soon as she closed her eyes, she would return to that nightmare again.

——Shi

Yi signed up and came back, heard that Grandma Yiyi had been here, and rushed to Yu Zhiyi's room.

Seeing the little girl sitting upright at the desk, she was inexplicably relieved.

"One by one, this is for you." Shi Yi put a bag on the table.

Yu Zhiyi opened his pocket curiously and took out a set of stationery, "For me?"

He nodded and replied, "Well, although you can't go to school for the time being, you can't delay your studies. I'll come back every day to make up lessons for you."

Yu Zhi's eyes widened, somewhat incredulous.

She was still worried about the problem, but Shi Yi had already completely arranged it.

"Actually, my grandmother came here today... My grandmother said that she kept it from me because she was sick and worried that I would be worried. Now that I come back, I won't be leaving again."

"Then what did you answer?" "

This..."

When she found out the truth, she also thought about going back with her grandmother, but because of her resistance to that place, she did not give an answer.

Now...

there is someone who is thinking of her all the time and takes her to heart, and she also wants to temporarily block those careful thoughts and hold on to the life-saving rope!

Thinking of this, the little girl finally showed a slight smile on her face, "I just said, I want to study with my brother!"

Shi Yi was stunned, and his mood suddenly brightened.

At that moment, he was actually worried that Yu Zhiyi would leave with his grandmother because he knew the truth...

Fortunately, he kept her.

Early September.

The first-year students entering high school gradually adapt to the new environment and enter the learning state one after another.

On the playground, a group of short-sleeved students had just finished an 800-meter jog.

The physical education teacher told them that the new sports equipment had not yet arrived, and let them move freely. They could play ball or do other sports on the playground by themselves, but they could not go back to the classroom so early.

When the liberation order was received, the crowd cheered.

This is a freshman in high school who has just entered the school. The school uniform has not been issued yet. All of them are wearing their own clothes. Different styles can easily distinguish people's personalities.

After running 800 meters, some people were gasping for breath with their hands on their knees.

Most of the girls walked to the shade of the trees, some sat eclectically on the stairs, and some insisted on standing even if their feet were weak from exhaustion.

When girls stand together, the easiest way to get in touch is to chat.

Because school started soon, I was not familiar with many of my classmates, but they definitely knew Shi Yi.

At the beginning of the school year, Shi Yi took the stage to speak on behalf of the freshman as the first in the grade. Almost the whole school knew about this person that day.

It is said that he is the person with the highest admission score in the history of No. 1 Middle School. He is still so outstanding in appearance. Standing in the crowd is the most dazzling existence. It is difficult not to notice him.

Shi Yi, in their eyes, is almost the kind of existence that is excellent in all 10 events.

At first, I thought that this kind of person who has been held in high places since childhood might be cold and difficult to get along with, but as soon as he came, he proposed himself to be the monitor, and quickly got along with the classmates in the class. , but the degree of interaction with everyone is simply impeccable.

The reputation of "class grass" soon spread, and after speaking to the whole school, he was successfully promoted to "school grass".

Outside the sideline of the basketball court stood a boy with an outstanding temperament.

Boys of this age are full of vitality and full of sunshine, and the boy has wide shoulders and narrow waist, slender body, and long legs with a height of 187 are absolutely eye-catching!

He held the ball in the palm of his hand, occasionally turning it between his fingers, with skilled movements, the basketball was firmly pushed between his fingers and never dropped.

The 800 meters that made everyone tired just now seemed to have no effect on him. At most, the breathing was a little heavier. After the run, he stood there without bending his back, which was really eye-catching.

"Look over there, Shi Yi is really handsome!"

"Hey, did you bring your cell phone? Take a picture quickly."

"I put my cell phone in the classroom during PE class."

"I brought it, I brought it!"

When they raised their mobile phones to take pictures, Qiao Lezhi came over to watch the fun.

Someone asked: "Qiao Lezhi, aren't you and Shi Yi classmates since childhood? You are not immune to his good looks?"

Qiao Lezhi laughed, "I can't bear the daily life of others when I see him growing up. They're all getting handsome!"

Qiao Lezhi didn't expect that she was so lucky that she didn't perform abnormally in the middle school entrance examination, but performed exceptionally well in the city's first high school, and because the school randomly selected numbers into classes, she was fortunate enough to be with the super student Shi Yi. classmate.

From elementary school to junior high school to high school, this can compose a legend!

Qiao Lezhi felt that her tears after the high school entrance examination were all in vain, and she should have set off firecrackers to celebrate!

Some people heard that she and Shi Yi had known each other since childhood, and they were very envious. They often chatted with her and asked questions related to Shi Yi.

At this time, Qiao Lezhi wanted to roll her eyes.

When it comes to wanting to make friends with her, the three words are inseparable from Shi Yi, and his mind is clear.

She really wanted to tell them directly: Don't think about it, Shi Yi's family still has Xiao Qingmei who has known each other since birth!

However, she also heard that something happened in Yu Zhiyi's family, and the people who usually have big mouths are the only ones who hide it.

"Since you are so familiar with Shi Yi, why don't you just call him, and when he turns around, we'll hide behind and take a picture quietly!"

At this time, everyone has the mentality of admiring the handsome guy, and they don't think it's possible to take pictures secretly. Violation of portrait rights.

Qiao Lezhi is also playful, and after hearing what everyone said, she is also willing to seek benefits for the sisters.

"Then I'll shout. If he turns around, you can take pictures yourself. If he doesn't respond to me, then I can't do anything about it

.

" Said: "Shi Yi!"

With a movement of the boy's ear with his back to them, he turned around.

In an instant, the heartbeats of the girls who were planning to take a candid photo accelerated, and even blushed.

His appearance is naturally impeccable, and what is even more unforgettable is the pair of stunning eyes.

The long and narrow peach blossom eyes blinked lightly, as if the electric current was hitting the heart, and the girls who peeked at him under the shade of the tree were ashamed.

Qiao Lezhi sighed and said, "As expected of being handsome since childhood." ——In mid

-

September,

The school began to promote the autumn sports meeting, and it is estimated that everyone will sign up to participate.

The sports committee went to Qiao Lezhi and knocked on the desk, "Qiao Lezhi, do you want to sign up for the autumn sports?"

"Yes!" She shouted with a look full of pride and ambition, "I want to sign up for the 50m sprint!"

Sports Commissioner: "..." From the

look on your face, I thought you were going to run a 3,000-meter run.

The sports committee took notes and wrote down the projects she signed up for, and asked reluctantly, "Sign up for another project?" Qiao Lezhi

grinned, "No, I really can't do anything about other projects!"

She can't jump, she has no endurance for long-distance running, and sprinting is her best choice.

The sports commissioner expressed disappointment.

Qiao Lezhi took her hand, "Er Er, go and ask Shi Yi, he is an all-rounder and used to help our class win awards."

The sports committee member is a girl named Jiang Mi’er, who is also her current roommate.

For the poor housemate's sake, she pointed out a clear path.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Mi'er pouted and shook his head, "I asked, and Shi Yi didn't participate in anything."

"No way..." She remembered Shi Yi as an all-round development of moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic, and labor. In the past, he was very active when there were sports meetings and physical education classes in school.

Jiang Mi'er sighed helplessly, "Really, he said he was not free, I saw that he seemed to be writing notes or something."

"Oh." I remembered that it was a note for Yu Zhiyi.

Thinking of Yu Zhiyi, she also misses this friend very much.

When class was over, Qiao Lezhi ran to Shi Yi's seat and asked in a low voice, "Can I go and play with them on the weekend?"

Shi Yi looked up at her and paused, "I can help you ask."

Qiao Lezhi's eyes lit up.

The next day, Shi Yi brought good news.

On the weekend, Qiao Lezhi met her little friend as she wished, and only then did she know that Yu Zhiyi's face was hurt.

Qiao Lezhi said a lot of comforting words.

Yu Zhiyi nodded again, and suddenly asked, "Qiao Qiao, can you tell me about school?"

"School..." If she was talking about school, the most she could talk about was Shi Yi.

"Did you not see how popular Shi Yi is in school, the whole school knows her, and some girls come to our class to peek at him .

"

After all, everyone is very curious about him!"

Yu Zhiyi was very interested in Shi Yi's affairs, and when she heard others praise him for being excellent, she also laughed out of nowhere, which was almost the most laughter she had laughed in months. when.

Shi Yi came in with a plate of fruit, his face stinky.

I accompanied the little girl and I haven't seen her laugh a few times, but Qiao Lezhi made her laugh as soon as she came.

The two chatted and "pushed" him to the door, which was really annoying!

"Cough, when are you going to go back to school?"

"Wait a minute, I haven't finished talking to Yiyi."

Shi Yi: "..."

the little girl looked over with expectant eyes, and he bit Gritting his teeth, he consciously closed the door for them.

As soon as Shi Yi left, Yu Zhiyi couldn't wait to ask: "Then what? Brother, he is at school..."

Finally, Qiao Lezhi talked about the sports meeting again, "Shi Yi is good to you, he is taking notes for you. I don't even participate in the sports meeting anymore."

Telling Yu Zhiyi these things mainly made her feel that she was favored, and did not try to persuade her to persuade Shi Yi to participate in the sports meeting.

But the little girl silently took these words to heart.

When Qiao Lezhi left, Shi Yi readily opened the door for her, and the smile on his face was much brighter than before, "Goodbye, no."

Qiao Lezhi: "..."

Yu Zhiyi waved his hand, "Qiao Qiao , see you next time."

Qiao Lezhi: Right, this is normal!

After Qiao Lezhi left, there were only the two of them left at home, and Yu Zhiyi asked directly, "Brother, has the school started to hold a sports meeting?"

"Well."

"Then what did you participate in this time?"

" "..." Qiao Lezhi's big mouth!

It doesn't matter that the little girl didn't wait for an answer, she just arched her hands, and her eyes showed admiration and anticipation, "Brother is so good, no matter what project you participate in, you will win."

"?" Jiao, "We are all amazing, we all know how to play tricks with my brother." Put on

a high hat for me? Let me go to a sports meeting?

This look, this tone, can he refuse?

However, he didn't agree immediately, so he deliberately hanged the little girl to avenge her being ignored today.

Shi Yi patted her head, "Okay, go back to the room for class!"

Yu Zhiyi's books were handed out at the beginning of school, and Shi Yi went home one after another, giving her lectures every day and letting her do the homework assigned by the teacher. one serving.

During this period of time, Shi Yi has become the most serious student in the class, and teachers of all subjects are full of praise for him.

They all said, "Shi Yi from class 2 is really good. He has good grades, and he is very serious in class.

He never deserts!" That little brain can't understand.

——Yu

Zhi found out that Shi Yi hadn't touched the game for a long time.

It's because she...

goes to school during the day, gives her lectures at night, and perseveres even when she is sleepy.

Shi Yi never took notes before, but now he has full notes for each subject. As Qiao Lezhi said, because of her, Shi Yi didn't even participate in sports activities.

It's all because of her...

Shi Yi saved her, but all she brought him was endless trouble.

Shi Yi was so good to Yu Zhiyi that she didn't know how to repay her.

Today is a working day, when my father and my mother go to work and when I go to school, Yu Zhiyi is still home alone.

She sets the alarm clock for class time, and each ring represents a different time period, learning, resting, learning, and so on.

Self-discipline is her only insistence.

But today was different. After the family left, Yu Zhiyi took out the mask from the drawer and put it on, picked up the key and walked to the door, stood there for about ten minutes, and finally stepped out of the door.

The weather approaching October was still hot and dry. Although she chose to go out in the morning, she was wearing a mask at this time and her forehead was covered by heavy bangs.

Yu Zhiyi couldn't bear the eyes of others looking at her. Even though she had covered up the injured area, she always wanted to avoid it when someone was looking at her.

I really want to go home, go back and lock myself in the room, that is the safest place, and no one will find her ugly appearance.

But...

If she continues to trap herself in a small place, Shi Yi will also be trapped because of her.

She thought about it, she could go to school with a mask, so that Shi Yi would have time to do what she wanted to do.

However, it seems that the situation is not good at first, but this dress of my own is eye-catching.

She tried to remove the mask.

The heaviest scar is on the forehead, which can be covered by bangs. The scar on the chin is so shallow that it won't be noticed if you don't get close. The two staggered scars on the right cheek are thin but obvious.

Her fingers were shaking when she took off the mask.

People on the road didn't notice her, which was fine.

Someone saw her, but looked away for two more seconds.

Yu Zhiyi breathed a sigh of relief, it didn't seem as bad as he imagined, maybe people were just a little surprised at first glance, but it was still acceptable.

She comforted herself.

In this city, strangers pass by. Even if those people see her appearance, they don't care too much, which is good.

After walking for a while, her uneasy heart relaxed a little, and a trace of courage emerged in her heart, encouraging her to face the unknown campus.

After walking for so long, a smile finally appeared on the little girl's face.

Maybe she can go back to school, even if there are strange eyes, but those people will only look at her twice and ignore her, right?

She looked up at the sky in the distance, the bright sunshine was what her heart wanted.

After crossing a bridge, she had walked about two kilometers.

Yu Zhi returned from the original road. When she was about to cross the road, the green light suddenly turned red. She had to continue to stand under the sun and wait for a minute.

The temperature was a few degrees higher, and the body was hot from walking, and sweat dripped from the heavy bangs.

She took out a tissue and turned her back to the passers-by who were waiting for the green light. Then she lifted her bangs and wiped the sweat with a tissue.

Little did she know that a child appeared next to her, just in front of her.

The child stared at her, and then burst into tears, "Mom, there are ugly people."

Because of the child's roar, passersby came over.

The woman with the child quickly took her son's hand and stepped back, avoiding her.

At that moment, in the hot weather, her mood was like falling to the bottom of a lake.

Is it... that scary?

Yu Zhiyi didn't dare to ask, she quickly put down her bangs, put on a mask and hurriedly escaped from people's sight.

In the end, she failed to wait for the green light, cross the road, and even dared to vent her grievances recklessly.

Pedestrians were in a hurry, and no one would notice the inconspicuous little girl squatting on the street corner, crying in a muffled voice.

Can anyone help me...

Brother.

help me.

The author has something to say: I didn't expect that there would be several people who shared the same feelings in the two chapters I updated before. Hug you.

Although there will be many sad things, you have to believe that you are worthy of being treated kindly, and keep trying to change yourself for it, because what the world owes you will eventually be paid back in another way.

Don't panic after reading this chapter, I will ask for help one by one because I want to live better, my brother will help one by one, and I will go to school in the next chapter
