After Rong Ziyin and Ji Shu got together, Rong Ziyin tried to ask Ji Shu about what happened in the past, but Ji Shu avoided answering every time.

Rong Ziyin was worried that Ji Shu would be hurt because of the memories, and he also felt that it was not that important.

After all, how they met was not important. The most important thing was how they could manage their lives together in the future.

But in fact, after regaining his memory, Rong Ziyin only felt regretful.

If he had not forgotten, he might have known Ji Shu a long time ago, and Ji Shu would not have been sick for so many years, with no one around him, and he didn't even dare to sleep well.

Ji Shu and Rong Ziyin explained a lot. For example, his playboy personality, and why he always carried a goose with him.

The goose was given to Ji Shu by Rong Ziyin. He was told that it could protect him after it was hatched. Ji Shu's playboy persona was just a persona he forced himself to have because he couldn't expose his weakness of fear of darkness.

In fact, all those lovers who came to accompany him knew everything about him. They were his subordinates, or they simply needed him for money transactions.

Privately, Ji Shu had been looking for Rong Ziyin, but the information Rong Ziyin left for Ji Shu that year was all false. Except for the high school uniform that Ji Shu took away.

Rong Ziyin's mind was confused, but he still easily recalled the day when he first met Ji Shu.

Ji Shu climbed in from the outside of the window.

The window of the bathroom in the boys' dormitory was very small. At least it would be difficult for Rong Ziyin to climb out if it was very high at that time.

But Ji Shu was too thin, three times thinner than the average girl of her age.

Her body was covered with wounds, and her clothes and wounds were all covered with dust. Her face was as thin as a skeleton, and there was no trace of her current beauty. The only similarity was that pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes.

But what was the look in Ji Shu's eyes at that time?

Frightened, terrified, and even wanted to crawl out and escape the moment she saw him. If the window had not been too small and difficult to push out, Rong Ziyin would not have been able to catch him.

It can only be said that Rong Ziyin was also very vigilant at that time. In addition, Ji Shu was too badly injured and disobedient, so Rong Ziyin forged an identity to coax him to take medicine.

Rong Ziyin said that he was a senior who came back to help look after the dormitory during the summer vacation, and if Ji Shu didn't listen, he would send him to the police station.

Ji Shu, who had just escaped from the countryside at that time, was most afraid of the word "being sent away". Once Rong Ziyin threatened him, he dared not move.

So, Rong Ziyin took Ji Shu to his dormitory smoothly, changed his clothes, applied medicine to him, and cooked for him.

Although he lived alone, Rong Ziyin's cooking skills were far from that good.

In addition, it was not easy to cook in a high school dormitory. A bowl of instant noodles with sausage and eggs was a big meal.

But even so, Ji Shu couldn't help crying the moment he took a bite.

Because this was the first time in his memory that someone cooked a meal for him.

When he lived in the old house of the Ji family, although Ji Shu was the eldest master in public, Old Master Ji didn't care about him, and the servants in the family only showed respect for him on the surface. He ate whatever was on the table, and if he didn't like it or couldn't eat it, he would just go hungry.

But Rong Ziyin's bowl of noodles was different, it was made just for him.

Ji Shu was young at that time, and he couldn't control his emotions. He would be very grateful if Rong Ziyin was even a little bit good to him, not to mention helping him without asking for anything in return.

At that moment, Ji Shu even thought that it didn't matter if Rong Ziyin was biased towards him.

It wouldn't matter even if Rong Ziyin sent him to those bad guys after eating the noodles.

Before he died, at least he knew what warmth was.

But in fact, everything was different from the resignation that Ji Shu had inferred. Rong Ziyin was not someone sent by his stepmother to kill him. He was a real stranger who wanted to save him out of kindness.

The next three days were the warmest memories of Ji Shu's first seventeen years of life.

He would be speechless from time to time by Rong Ziyin, and was forced by Rong Ziyin to change the dressings every day. He was almost dragged to the hospital by Rong Ziyin. In the end, he gave up because he couldn't tell the name clearly.

As for food, Rong Ziyin was poor, so naturally there was no big meal. The cooking skills were also very average. Sometimes they would buy a few buns outside, which would be a meal for the two of them. But Ji Shu felt that such days were like being in heaven.

Rong Ziyin's bad habit of subconsciously hugging people or things around him when he fell asleep actually gave Ji Shu a great sense of security.

Rong Ziyin's embrace was very warm. When Ji Shu was close to him, he seemed to gain great courage, and he was not afraid of even the most terrifying darkness. Because Rong Ziyin was his brightest light.

But the peace only lasted a few days, and the good days were over.

Ji Shu never said his name, and Rong Ziyin thought he was an orphan who ran away from some traffickers.

After Rong Ziyin's parents died, he had been living alone. He was indeed not the kind of bad person who liked to meddle in other people's business. But Ji Shu gave him a different feeling.

The child was covered in wounds, thin and small, and relying on him was like a drowning person holding on to driftwood.

Such despair reminded Rong Ziyin of himself when his parents had just passed away, and it was difficult for him to let go of Ji Shu.

On the fifth night they were together, Rong Ziyin made a very important decision.

He took out all the money he had saved from working, and divided it into two parts in front of Ji Shu.

One part was more, and the other was less.

"Brother, don't give me money, I can find a way to leave by myself!" Ji Shu's first reaction was that Rong Ziyin wanted to chase him away. The child's eyes instantly turned red, but he still held back his tears.

Ji Shu knew that Rong Ziyin could not support him for the rest of his life, even if he sympathized with him. He had already brought Rong Ziyin a lot of trouble, and now that his wounds had healed a little, it was time for him, the uninvited guest, to leave.

But then, Rong Ziyin slapped him on the back of his head, "Listen to what I have to say first!"

Rong Ziyin consciously ignored the child's sensitivity and gave Ji Shu two options.

One way was to take the extra money and go find his family.

"I know you escaped. The people chasing you should have left now. If you want to go home, I will take you to the station to buy a train ticket."

"No, no! I have no family anymore!" Ji Shu wanted to explain anxiously.

The Ji family, in the eyes of outsiders, is a family of thieves and prostitutes. Old Master Ji himself is not a good person. He married two wives, but neither of them had a good ending. In the end, he even brought his illegitimate son home openly and doted on him as a baby.

As for his father, he is an absolute bastard. He deceived his mother's feelings, played with the sincerity of his grandparents, and finally killed his mother. He

was not blessed since he was born, and in the end, he was sent back to his hometown on the day of his father's wedding because his father had to consider the feelings of true love and his illegitimate brother.

If Ji Shu really wanted him to relax, he would not hate him so much. It was obvious that he was going to kill him.

Thinking of the five years of being locked in darkness, Ji Shu even felt that if he had to start all over again, he might have a hard time surviving.

Rong Ziyin saw the fear in his eyes deepening, and immediately held him in his arms and patted his back to comfort him, "Don't cry, brother is here, don't cry."

Sighing, Rong Ziyin told Ji Shu about his other plan, "If you don't want to leave, then stay and be my brother! I'll find a way to let you take my last name. But I'm very poor and can barely support myself. If you stay, we'll have to live a hard life relying on each other."

Looking at Ji Shu's eyes full of dependence, Rong Ziyin made the most important decision in his short fifteen years.

He wanted to use his immature shoulders to shoulder another person's life.
