Chapter 690 The Young Lady and the Repairman (20)
He Mian stroked her face, leaned over and kissed her cheek, "Yaoyao, have a good rest, I'll go clean up."
Bai Yao yawned, covered half of her face with the blanket, and said lazily, "Hmm."
He Mian picked up the garbage bag and glanced at the used things inside. He couldn't help but feel a sense of relief in his mind. Fortunately, he brought a box of things in his bag.
He gathered his mind, walked out of the wooden house lightly, and closed the door.
Bai Yao was half asleep and half awake when she heard footsteps approaching. She thought that Hemian must have come back. As the footsteps got closer, she gradually felt something was wrong. She
woke up from her sleep and saw no human figure in the empty house.
Outside the wooden house, a woman with disheveled hair was grabbed by the arm by a tall boy and dragged to the corner behind the wooden house.
There were heavy shadows from the trees here, and no sunlight could be seen in the shadows.
He Mian had a blank expression on his face, and his eyes were filled with dark thoughts like thick ink. "What do you want to do?"
"Xiao Mian, you haven't been home for a long time. I miss you." The woman smiled lovingly and gently stroked her son's face. "You have dark circles under your eyes. Didn't you get enough rest yesterday?"
She hurriedly said, "Don't work anymore. Go back and have a rest, okay?"
Feng Mo, this is his mother.
Anyone who doesn't know the inside story, seeing how caring and loving Feng Mo is to her son, would probably think that she is just like most mothers in the world. She must love her child very much.
Indeed, in He Mian's memory, his mother was also gentle to him, but this occasional moment of gentleness could not cover up the abuse and torture he had received in the past 18 years.
He Mian's voice was cold, "Go back, don't come here."
Feng Mo smiled and asked: "That girl is so beautiful, is she your girlfriend?"
She was originally a beautiful woman, and had been loved by many people, but the crazy life of not seeing the sun for many years made Feng Mo lose her original appearance.
Even if she tried to show a gentle smile, it only made her sickly pale face look more distorted.
He Mian grabbed his mother's arm and increased his strength involuntarily. This emotion that was still barely suppressed revealed a bit of his madness, "Don't get close to her."
Since He Yuan disappeared, all Feng Mo's emotions have been placed on the child.
When He Mian was in kindergarten, his teacher gave him a picture book. He liked it very much and would read it almost every day after school. But one day, when he came home, the book had been torn into pieces and thrown into the trash.
When he was in elementary school, he was not so withdrawn yet. He was just like any other child. His classmates invited him to their home for a birthday party. He brought a gift with him. When Feng Mo came to pick him up, he asked him how he played with his friends.
Six-year-old He Mian said, "Everyone was very nice. They played games with me and gave me cakes to eat. Mom, I like playing with my friends."
The next day, a friend he had just made was pushed down the slide in the park and was seriously injured.
Later, He Mian had no friends and he stopped communicating with others. He gradually became known as a freak. In his second year of junior high school, he secretly picked up a stray cat and raised it in an abandoned park. The stray cat seemed to be his only friend to talk to.
However, the cat was eventually found drowned in the water.
Feng Mo once said while holding the little child: "Xiao Mian, your father doesn't want us anymore. I only have you, and mommy only has you. You must not abandon mommy, absolutely not!"
He Mian clasped her mother's arm tightly, letting her sob softly and shouting in fear: "Xiao Mian, you're scratching mommy and it hurts."
His eyes were like the abyss, dark and deep, and the storm wrapped around his broken reason, swallowing up his little remaining humanity, "Don't think about getting close to her, or I will definitely kill you."
Feng Mo was stunned.
When He Mian returned to the cabin, Bai Yao was sitting on the sofa with a blanket in her arms, with lifeless eyes, obviously she had just woken up and was in a daze.
But when the familiar hand just touched her face, she leaned forward lazily and hugged his waist.
He Mian laughed, sat down and held her in his arms, braiding her hair skillfully.
Bai Yao said, "I will start school in more than a month."
He paused for a long while, and then he said "hmm" in a low voice.
Bai Yao raised his eyes and smiled, "I'll wait for you to come to me."
He Mian has been working very hard and saving money, so that he can leave Minghu Town one day and have a new life.
Bai Yao has always believed that the small Minghu Town cannot trap him.
He Mian's heart was hot, and his blood was also hot. "You... will wait for me?"
"Of course." Bai Yao nestled in his arms, her face against his chest, playing with his fingers from time to time, and said as a matter of course: "Maybe it will take a long time, but it doesn't matter. If I can't help thinking about you, I will definitely come back to see you."
She will wait for him.
She will miss him.
What she said about having a future with him was not just a temporary infatuation to coax him.
He Mian's face was frozen, and he forgot to breathe for a moment. He never knew that he could be loved by someone. Many times, even if he had been fighting against fate for more than ten years, he felt that his life was like this.
Broken and shabby, living like a piece of garbage, this is the life he saw at a glance.
He Mian lowered his head and buried it in her neck, desperately sucking her breath.
Bai Yao felt a little itchy, and also felt that she seemed to have auditory hallucinations, otherwise how could she hear the sound of someone sniffing?
"Yaoyao, I love you."
Bai Yao touched his head, "Yeah, I know you love me."
As night fell, a heavy rain was about to pour down.
He Mian prepared dinner, pushed open the bedroom door, and did not see the figure of the woman.
He immediately had a bad premonition and hurriedly called Bai Yao. After a while, the call was connected, "Yaoyao, where are you?"
"I'm at home."
He Mian said: "Are the doors and windows locked? Has anyone else entered the house?"
Bai Yao was puzzled: "Aunt Fang locked the doors and windows before she left. I didn't see anyone else. Everyone is here. I know it will rain tonight, but I'm not afraid. You don't have to worry about me."
In fact, she was worried that he would come to the manor in the heavy rain again.
After a flash of lightning and thunder, the signal was cut off.
He Mian turned and walked out, wanting to rush to the manor, and the corner of the bedroom wall was swept by the corner of his eye.
On the wall with human-shaped mold, a black figure that has existed for more than ten years is still in that corner. It raised its hand and pointed in a direction.
He Mian looked out the window.
That's the manor... No, that's the direction of Ming Lake.
After a thunderclap, the signal was cut off and the power went out in the manor.
Lan Pigeon told everyone not to worry, and he went to see if there was a problem with the power switch.
Luo Xuan accompanied her mother to the hospital, so only Lan Pigeon came back.
Bai Yao said: "There is a flashlight in my room, I will go get it."
Then, she groped her way up the stairs with the dim light of her mobile phone.
Luo Xiao said: "This is really an old house. It is easy to have power outages when thunder strikes."
Xiao Beichen stood up, walked to Luo Mianmian, and said to Luo Xiao: "Uncle, you can tell me if you need anything."
He said he was taking care of Luo Xiao, but in fact he wanted to protect Luo Mianmian.
A figure flashed in the residual light of Shi Li's sight. He originally thought it was Xiao Beichen, but Xiao Beichen appeared in the opposite direction.
Shi Li looked towards the stairs according to his feeling. On the stairs, a muddy footprint appeared faintly.
Muddy footprint.
In the hallucination he had before at the lake, it was also a thunderstorm day. The figure with muddy footprints walked all the way into the water with the girl in his arms.
