Lei Yumeng hesitated for a moment but left.

The night grew deeper and deeper, as if there were no light left in the pitch-black sky, only dense snowflakes drifting down, little by little.

In the shadows of night, there were no stray passers-by in the community.

It was so quiet that one could only hear the sound of snow falling from the branches from time to time, it was as if Tang Li was the only one left in the entire world.

He looked at the ground quietly, and the snow fell on his long eyelashes. It melted quickly into ice water and soaked into his eyes, which made his eyes red and his thin lips blue.

It was not long before Tang Li reluctantly moved his almost frozen legs and turned around very slowly.

Just behind him on his right, beside a small flower bed, there was an ordinary Buick car. The dark car seemed to melt into the night, and there was no light coming from it.

It’s hard to find a car parked there if you weren’t intentionally looking for it.

But Tang Li’s eyes did not stay on the car. He was just stood stunned for a moment and then quickly turned away.

If he’s not mistaken…

Shen Yu is in that car.

No, with his knowledge of Shen Yu, Shen Yu must certainly be in that car. If Uncle Zhang came alone, he would not have secretly parked the car in the dark.

With his arms folded into one another, Tang Li felt that his brain was somewhat dull from the cold air. However, when Shen Yu’s gentle and kind smiling face appeared in front of him, he suddenly felt that it was not cold at all.

It was if his heart was filled with a warmth.

In a trance, he remembered the question raised by Lei Yumeng not long ago, why he didn’t tell Shen Yu the truth.

Actually, there’s no particularly complicated reason.

It’s just that it’s troublesome.

Just like how he had promised to play a childish game of love with Lei Yumeng, it was because he thought that Lei Yumeng was too troublesome. He simply needed to borrow the hands of the teacher or the group of girls to do something about her.

The fact that things got to this point was unexpected.

At first, he did feel guilty and panicked, but when he learned from his desk mate before leaving school that Lei Yumeng had some previous animosity with that group of girls, all he had left was the desire to quickly put an end to the matter.

As for the speculation about the authenticity of Lei Yumeng’s suicide, it was only a guess made by him in combination with his desk mate’s gossip.

Unexpectedly, Lei Yumeng admitted it fairly easily.

In fact, he didn’t mind this little play of Lei Yumeng’s, but he was upset that it was going on endlessly.

What’s more, in Shen Yu’s eyes, he is just a child who is somewhat touchy, unreasonable and lonely. He would rather Shen Yu mistook him for a cold-blooded person than let Shen Yu know that he has so many calculating thoughts.

—————

Snowy nights are especially cold.

Shen Yu was wrapped in a heavy overcoat. Before going out, Uncle Zhang put a blanket on his legs, but even sitting in the car, he still felt the bitter cool air drilling into his clothes.
