-“No way.”

A low and hoarse voice came from the quiet alley around the corner, like a ghost coming out of hell, it was terribly cold.

The sudden answer stunned all the people present.

Zhang Man heard the familiar voice and turned his head in shock.

Under the dim street lamp, the ground was full of yellow leaves, and the boy came from not far away, with clear and powerful footsteps. He put away his inattentive tone, as if he suddenly changed a person, with a cold temperament.

He walked to her step by step, took her hand, staggered to block her, and protected her behind him.

Zhang Man shook his hand back nervously. Her palms were already sweaty. At this time, being held by his dry and warm hands, the sticky tension was much reduced.

She tilted her head to look at his profile. The boy’s face was hidden in the dark night, and she couldn’t see his expression clearly. But just hearing his voice just now made her heart tremble.

He is angry.

The unscrupulous teenagers saw someone coming to fight and hug the injustice, and surrounded them with great vigor, and the two crowded around the corner tightly.

At this time, the young man with earrings in the lead recognized Li Wei, and he sneered loudly: “Oh, isn’t this classmate Li Wei in the first grade of high school? A celebrity in our school. Why, you are a lunatic who wants to talk to Lao Tzu. Robbing women? Why do you **** them? Take them home and hang them?”

After he finished speaking, he laughed sarcastically, and even the other bad boys behind him also laughed, as if he had heard the funniest joke.

In their opinion, although Li Wei looks tall and strong, there are four of them after all. Besides, not everyone can do fighting. Who is more cruel than him. How could he be a good student and nerd who reads in school every day?

As for the statement that he is a lunatic, they are not afraid. What if you are crazy, do you want to find a rope to hang them all on the clothes rail?

Seeing that the two of them were not talking, the stud boy thought they were afraid, so he continued to provoke, and his tone became more arrogant: “I advise you kid not to be nosy, go quickly, and don’t prevent me from loving my woman well.”

He smiled again, dragging a long tone and adding: “Don’t blame me for not reminding you, it’s not suitable for children.”

Zhang Man stretched out his hand nervously and took Li Wei’s arm, because she found that after hearing this, the young man squeezed her hand firmly, and the pain almost made her scream. The blue veins on his forehead began to bulge, and his temperament became more fierce.

Just like when he stopped her at the school gate in his previous life, at this moment, he became a vicious lone wolf, which made people shudder.

Zhang Man panicked and his heart began to beat violently.

——What to do, he seems to be out of control.

I don’t know why, she knows that the other party has four people, but looking at him like this, her panic is not at all because she is worried that the other party will hurt them.

At this moment, her hunch came true.

The young man quickly pulled away from her hand, and without saying anything, he slammed something into the face of the stud young man, making a muffled noise.

The harshness and no hesitation at that moment made Zhang Man couldn’t help exclaiming.

When she came back to her senses, the tragic howling of the pierced boy tearing his throat and the blood on his face tore the night through a hole.

The blood from his forehead poured out wildly, dripping on the ground, making a “tick, tick” sound, which made people creepy in the quiet empty alley.

Zhang Man’s heart twitched, and the blood rushed to her head. The uncontrollable fear made her tremble. There was only one thought in her heart, running.

So she took advantage of the few bad boys who hadn’t reacted, and took Li Wei’s hand and started to run wildly, as if there were evil spirits chasing behind her.

She ran with him vigorously through the streets until she ran to the main road far away from the alley, and saw the hustle and bustle of people and vehicles. Zhang Man dared to stop after confirming that they could not catch up again.

She was panting and leaning against the glass wall of a convenience store, her legs trembling because of the tension before, and she could think of the scene as soon as she closed her eyes-the earring boy screamed and stretched out his hand to cover the corner of his forehead, and blood came from his fingers. Flowing from the seam, half of his face was dyed.

She couldn’t stop shaking, and the fear of the rest of her life and the more profound fear and despair flooded the sea.

Zhang Man thought of being as decisive as the boy just now, and without hesitation, he knelt down sadly. She felt like a big rock was blocked in her heart, and she cried out uncontrollably.

Why does this happen? Why is he still out of control because of her, even worse than in his previous life.

Obviously she has been so careful all her life, carefully restraining her feelings for him, even if she wants to be close to him or staying with him, she has to think of all kinds of excuses for fear of harming his psychology.

She didn’t want him to be like this, she wanted him to be well, and never get in touch with these dark paranoid things forever. His clean and beautiful hands are going to deduce the most cutting-edge breakthroughs in theoretical physics in the future. How can he beat people for her?

She obviously only wanted him to live in the sun forever, but he lost his mind again because of her.

Zhang Man couldn’t help but began to have a strong self-doubt. If Li Wei had never met her, would it be better? Her previous life made him so sad, and in this life he made him crazy and out of control for her.

What if there is something wrong with that person just now?

She was crying out of breath, thinking desperately, everything was over.

“Zhang Man… don’t cry.”

The boy’s red eyes and boiling blood all over his body gradually calmed down after seeing the crying girl in front of him.

The reason that had been completely lost before began to return.

This was the second time she cried in front of him. She squatted on the ground, hugging herself, choking depressively, her shoulders twitching and shaking, and her small body dropped a thin body on the nearby floor tiles. shadow.

Unlike last time, he could see that she was really sad this time.

Although he doesn’t know why she is sad, it seems that when she is sad, he will be sad too.

His heart seemed to be pinched, and it was painful from just now to now. After the pain is a huge panic, in case…in case he doesn’t show up today…

He can’t remember exactly how he was just now. Seeing her being surrounded by several people, she turned pale and trembling with fear, and stepped back. He also saw that the person pinched her chin without pity, and was so close to her.

He just felt that the sanity of his whole body had gone away from him, his heartbeat speeded up, his blood was boiling, and his world seemed to have turned black at that time.

It feels a bit like being trampled on his favorite car when he was a kid. No, it was a million times worse than that, so serious that he couldn’t control himself at all.

There was a beast in his heart constantly roaring, yelling, trying to tear all the people to pieces.

In fact, he did the same.

——Before he approached them, he picked one of the sharpest and strongest stones on the ground and struck with extreme cruelty and mercy.

She is so sad, isn’t it… the way he just scared her?

“Zhang Man… Zhang Man, it’s all my fault.”

The young man squatted down beside her, patted her on the back again and again, comforting him helplessly.

For the first time, he was completely lost in front of her.

The collapse and despair in Zhang Man’s heart were like a Wangyang reservoir blocked by a huge dam. He was comforted in a low voice at this moment, and all his emotions found a breakthrough, breaking through the dam and pouring down.

She rushed up sadly and hugged him tightly, buried her crying face on his chest, and began to cry hard.

. …

That night, Zhang Man stayed under the covers and nervously checked the contents of juvenile delinquency, negligent injury, over-defense, etc. from time to time. He would send text messages to Li Wei to confirm whether he was at home or not, for fear that he was not at home. When he knew it, he was taken away by the police.

The next day, she arrived at school with two huge dark circles under her eyes, and began to ask people around her about Yan Hui.

Yan Hui is in the third year of high school. He doesn’t usually study, so he can be regarded as a lieutenant colonel, and many people know him.

There were a few people in Chen Feier’s class who walked very close to him. Hearing from her, Yan Hui seemed to be fighting outside with people yesterday. He seemed to be disfigured. He was still lying in the hospital today and did not come to school when he asked for leave.

But Li Wei was not mentioned.

Zhang Man was a little relieved when he heard this. It seems that he did not call the police, nor did he tell anyone who beat him. Perhaps it is difficult for a bad boy like him to be beaten, so he didn’t say anything.

She calmed down, thought for a long time, and gradually settled down. This incident was strictly for the first time, and Li Wei just defended her at best to protect her. Furthermore, as a bad boy with a full history, Zhang Man estimated that Yan Hui would not have the confidence to sue the school.

Back in the classroom, the young man sat quietly reading a book, seemingly unaffected by this incident.

Zhang Man is not angry.

She has a very serious tone: “Li Wei, you promise me that if you encounter this kind of thing in the future, don’t fight with others for me.”

The teenager did not speak, and continued to flip through the book.

Zhang Man was anxious and pulled his sleeve: “Did you hear what I said?”

He then put down the book in his hand, turned around, and shook his head.

Zhang Man thought he didn’t hear her, so he repeated it again: “I said, in the future, if you encounter this kind of thing, leave me alone, don’t go up to fight by yourself, did you hear?”

The boy still shook his head, very stubborn.

Zhang Man only realized this. He shook his head and meant that he was unwilling.

He looked into her eyes with irrefutable determination.

——”They said they would bully you.”

Zhang Man was startled slightly. Seeing his seriousness, a sour and warm feeling spread, and his heart suddenly became soft and confused.

Yeah, he was just to protect her. Seeing her being bullied, how could he stay out of it?

Zhang Man asked herself if she saw him being bullied, she couldn’t calm down. For example, when Liu Chang accidentally hit him, her first reaction was to step on his feet severely.

Comparing heart to heart, maybe she embarrassed him.

She sighed, and took it softly: “Okay, then I promise, I will never encounter such a thing again in the future.”

In the future, she must be careful and careful, and would rather go a little farther than take that path.

After the whole person relaxes, he has the energy to think about other things.

“No, Li Wei, how did you know I was there yesterday?”

The boy replied after a while: “You didn’t get the practice set. I called you, but you didn’t answer.”

A soft candy melted into Zhang Man’s heart. She couldn’t help but smiled and poked his arm: “So you went in the direction of my house? Are you worried about me? How do you know which direction my house is heading? “

The boy’s words were concise, without much expression: “Look at where you went.”

“Then…what did you hit him with yesterday?”

“The stone picked up on the road.”

No matter what Zhang Man asked later, the boy ignored her.

Zhang Man ate a few closed doors, so he kept silent, lying on the table thinking about yesterday.

Thinking about it, his cheeks started to burn slightly.

She took his hand yesterday and ran across street after street. And in the end, she seemed to hold him and cry for a long, long time.

At that time, she really didn’t think too much, she was so sad and just wanted to vent her mood, without any crooked thoughts at all. But now when I think about it, my face is still red.

Her heart was pounding, and then it turned into a puddle of water. At least at that time, he didn’t push her away, but patted her back gently and cautiously coaxed her.

Such a gentle voice can soothe all her sadness and grievances.

Zhang Man thought, it was obviously the same person who said something, why are they so different? At that time, the phrase “no” he said in the alley was like an evil spirit crawling up from hell. But then he squatted on the ground and hugged her, coaxing her loudly, so soft and soft, and like a feather.

——He actually likes her, even if he didn’t notice it.

She lay on her arms and gradually curled her mouth.

Then she waited patiently for him to find out.

Let him gradually rely on her, trust her, and think about her all the time. Only then can he not think about his illusory relatives and friends, and then he can truly live in this troubled world and feel the life on earth. Hundreds of flavors, beauty and magnificence.

. …

After that day, Li Wei began to wait for the bus at the bus stop next to Zhang Man’s house every day. In fact, there is a station at the entrance of the school, directly to his home.

Zhang Man knew that he was afraid that she would meet someone like Yanhui again, so he wanted to accompany her back.

But he didn’t say it, she didn’t reveal it, of course she was cheating in her heart.

Things are going smoothly than she thought.

Regarding Li Wei’s delusion, she now knows two people, one is his mother Lin Fen, and the other is his friend Nick. Zhang Man doesn’t know if there is a third person, but the division of labor between the two is very clear.

Lin Mei’s appearance is often when Li Wei encounters some setbacks in life, or when he feels very lonely and autistic; and Nick is when he learns alone and faces problems and no one can discuss with him.

Now, she can be sure that he has gradually accepted her in his heart. And what she can do now is to stay with him quietly and fill his life as much as possible to relieve the symptoms of delusions.

The two walked to the intersection downstairs at Zhang Man’s house. The teenager nodded at her as usual, indicating that he was going to the station.

But today Zhang Man didn’t know what was wrong with him, and suddenly wanted to hold him to talk for a while.

“Li Wei, are you scared at home alone at night? Your family is so big.”

The boy glanced at her, his eyes a little strange: “Not afraid.”

Zhang Man changed the subject again: “Um…Have you learned to paint before?”

The rose he painted for her last time on the beach is so good, it seems to be real.

“…No, I can draw and play by myself. I didn’t borrow any physics books after high school when I was in the orphanage.”

Zhang Man tried to keep up with his train of thought. In other words, he couldn’t borrow more books after he finished physics in high school, so he would just draw and play when he was bored?

She was a little funny and sour.

After his father died, Li Wei was sent to a welfare home in N City, where he stayed there for seven years, and did not come out to live independently until the second year of the middle school. And the reason why he was feared and excluded was not only because of his father’s schizophrenia, but also because he had gone to the psychiatric department of the hospital for examination before entering the orphanage.

The diagnosis given by the doctor at that time was that he had hereditary brain damage, or schizophrenia, at a young age. No one knew what the diagnosis was based on.

It was his biological grandfather who took him to do this verification and threw him into the orphanage after he was diagnosed.

Li Wei’s grandfather is also an entrepreneur in N City. He has married three wives before and after. His original wife, Li Wei’s grandmother, has a mental illness. There are many descendants in their family, all of whom are excellent and normal, and there is no shortage of him.

He donated some money to the orphanage, stuffed him in, and never asked.

I heard that after Li Wei became a professor at Princeton University in his previous life, his grandfather once wanted to recognize him, but Li Wei did not agree until he committed suicide.

Zhang Man bit his lip and scratched the palm of his hand with his fingernails shrunk in his school uniform jacket.

She could not imagine his childhood.

A child so young suddenly lost his father and was cruelly abandoned by his only relative. When he was simply ignorant and ignorant, how scared should he be in the face of those cold instruments and those strange doctors who asked him over and over again?

You will definitely be scared, will you cry? It is not like now, whether he is alone or excluded, he will be so indifferent.

Boys at that age are the skinniest and crying age.

She still remembers that before she was reborn in her previous life, Chen Feier’s son was only seven years old, the same age as Li Wei back then. He likes to play with all kinds of toys. Once Zhang Man and Chen Feier took him to a shopping mall. He saw a whole set of Transformers and cried and cried and refused to leave. Chen Feier had nothing to do with him and had to buy it for him.

The little boy holding a big Transformer, with a snotty smile, Zhang Man still remembers.

People are like this, arrogant when you rely on one’s favor, and only when one is arrogant on one’s favor.

So he will not be afraid at home alone, how can he have the right to be afraid if he is used to it alone.

Zhang Man was bored, but wanted to know more, more about his childhood.

“Li Wei, was the environment in the orphanage you were in when you were young? Did you have a lot of children?”

“Well, it’s good, there are many people.”

The boy lowered his eyes, there are many children, all ages.

Someone is younger than him, chasing behind his **** and calling him “mental.” Those who are older than him, take the lead in squeezing him out, wanting to constantly stimulate him and drive him crazy, so as to see what a lunatic is like.

The management of the orphanage is very chaotic. It is a group of unwanted children. My family does not feel distressed, and others have any distressing needs. Therefore, for children’s friction, managers mostly turn one eye and close one eye.

But he didn’t want to tell her so much.

This girl, he wants her to be carefree every day, not to let her be contaminated by his darkness.

. …

Back home, Chen Feier called her.

“Manman, I heard people say that the person who beat Yanhui last month seems to be Li Wei… You asked me about Yanhui last time, didn’t you know it long ago? I heard that Yanhui was beaten. It was terrible, a concussion, a big forehead broke, and his face was directly disfigured. I am still hospitalized.”

“I heard them say that the reason was because Yan Hui wanted to harass a girl in our school, Manman, that girl wouldn’t be you, right?”

Zhang Man frowned, but he didn’t expect the incident to spread.

She comforted Chen Feier and hung up the phone.

Didn’t Yan Hui say this to the public before? Why is there a sound of wind coming out now… When this kind of thing happened, I’m afraid the students in the school have a worse impression of Li Wei.

Open Yizhong Post, and I saw several posts all related to this matter.

[Lz]: Have you heard that our senior high school tyrant Yanhui was beaten last month and lived in the hospital for more than a week. Now he is still training at home. Do you know who made it?

[I want to be quiet]: Who do I rely on to be so cruel, to walk for the sky. No wonder the school has been cleaned a lot recently.

[Yoyo]: Squatting.

[Lz]: It was accidentally revealed by the little gangsters under Yan Hui’s hands. The news is absolutely reliable. The one who beat him was Li Wei, the first grade class of high school, just…you know.

[YoYao]: Damn it, it’s not that the devil is fighting… Isn’t Li Wei said that there is such a thing? He has an attack?

[Lz]: Anyway, it was very scary. Those little gangsters were all frightened. They said that Yan Hui had seen a girl at the time, and they were chatting. As a result, Li Weiyi came up and patted a stone on his head without saying a word, and directly patted him with blood all over his face. They said that Li Wei’s expression at the time was absolutely crazy.

[Where is the magical animal]: A face of blood…it’s too scary, it’s scary.

[Yao Liu]: It’s a bit scary, but this time I stand Li Wei, even if I am a lunatic, somehow it will give us a sigh of relief, right? I heard that Yan Hui was on the road. There had been several such things before, and the school didn’t care at all.

[Who took my fifty-three]: I’m going, big news, no wonder Yan Hui hasn’t come to class these days. Upstairs, this time I stand Li Wei. What’s wrong with schizophrenia? At least three views of people are positive.

[Banana Milkshake]: Be careful upstairs, don’t think that the devil is an angel just because the devil has done a good thing…should stay away or stay away, otherwise you will be the one who will be hit by the brick next time.

. …

Although there are still many people who are afraid of Li Wei’s madness, there are also a small number of comments related to Li Wei that are positive. After all, there are not a few people who have been bullied by the stern return. Unexpectedly, the occurrence of this incident actually made Li Wei’s reputation in the school better than before.

She was a little happy in her heart. He was a very good person. Why should he be hated because of some natural things? They are afraid of him if they don’t know him. As long as they can get closer to him, they can find his good.

Zhang Man closed the post and sent a text message to Li Wei.

【Are you home yet】

It didn’t take long for him to reply one.

【Ok. 】

Zhang Man looked at the short sentence he sent, and was a little dissatisfied with the small number of words, and then asked: [Then what are you doing now] The boy quickly replied: [Reading. 】

No matter how short his sentence is, he will be punctuated in a regular manner, like an old man who is out of touch with the times.

Zhang Man couldn’t help but chuckle. He usually doesn’t care much about people, but he is actually very disciplined, much like a traditional good student. Obviously, I took the road of competition, but I wrote all the homework for each subject. I usually wear school uniforms every day to school, and I am not late or leave early.

But when he loses control, he feels like a different person.

Zhang Man was lying on the bed, biting the joint of her index finger. After suddenly remembering that incident, she had been tense and hadn’t thanked him properly.

If he didn’t come to protect her that day, she might really be over.

Zhang Man picked up the phone again, drew to the dialog with him, typed out one by one: [Li Wei, thank you. 】She also followed him and solemnly added punctuation.

This time the boy took a long time to return, and it was still a word.

【Ok. 】
