One Branch [MTL] (Completed)

Chapter 36 Stop losses in time?

"Here?"

The car stopped at an intersection. A short distance ahead was a small restaurant. The road was bad and there were many cars. The restaurant sign was yellowed by the wind and sand. Under the sign, Zhao Huanyu sat on a plastic stool with his head down, looking listless.

After Song Yezhi paid the fare and got off the car, Zhao Huanyu had been looking over here for a while.

He walked up to her and they were truly speechless.

After looking at it for a while, he said, "It's only been a few days, and it's gotten so dark."

The crying eyes couldn't be hidden, and it was still very obvious after two hours.

Zhao Huanyu said: "Running under the sun every day."

When she left home, she only had money for two meals with her. She couldn't go to her uncle's house or Ono's house.

Her condition was so bad that she couldn't see anyone.

I made up my mind and got on a bus to the suburbs. I didn't know the way and had no money. I found a small restaurant with great difficulty and exchanged my labor for food and lodging. Since I couldn't do the work of a waiter, I washed dishes and occasionally ran errands to deliver meals.

"Uncle also said that he would punish you when he found you." Song Yezhi stared at the Band-Aid on her hand and asked, "Did you break someone's bowl?"

Zhao Huanyu raised his index finger: "Three of them are broken."

After saying goodbye to the shop owner, Song Yezhi took her to a hotel in a taxi and checked in. Zhao Huanyu kept his head down and tore off the edge of the yellow band-aid. Song Yezhi answered whatever he asked, mostly trying to find out if she had been wronged in the past few days.

When they got to the room, Zhao Huanyu was so angry that he said, "Why don't you ask me why I ran out?"

When checking in, Song Yezhi asked the front desk for a cute cartoon Band-Aid. He held Zhao Huanyu's fingers, the edges of which were frayed by her pulling. He tore open a new Band-Aid and said, "Try to remove it yourself. I don't know where the wound is."

"Xiao Ye, why don't you ask me? Ask me why you ran away, why you would rather eat food that is so heavy with oil and salt, sleep on a mat full of mosquitoes, and have the back of your neck peeled by the sun, than go home."

Tears fell in strings.

The sight of a pearl necklace breaking is tragic.

Zhao Huanyu sat on the bed, and Song Yezhi squatted in front of her. He looked up and stretched out his hand to wipe her tears: "It's okay, it's okay, because nothing matters."

Zhao Huanyu slid down from the bed, curled up and hugged Song Yezhi. The two squatted together, snuggling into each other.

She broke down and cried, "It's related... It's related. You definitely can't imagine it. They definitely can't imagine it. No one knows..."

It had only been a short time since that time in the hospital, and Song Yezhi didn't know why Zhao Huanyu's mental journey had changed. The delicate and aggrieved accusations of that day had turned into desperate self-doubt today.

He hugged her tightly, trying to support her with tangible strength.

"Love and happiness are not divided into different levels." He replied with the same words.

Zhao Huanyu's heart was instantly emptied, but when he realized that it was Song Yezhi in front of him, it seemed to be filled again.

"You know... you know?" Zhao Huanyu trembled subconsciously, "They know too?"
