There was a moderate sandstorm on Sunday morning. Although it was annoying, I still ran to Dong Shan Lake and planned to find gramps to practice boxing with — — gramps might get angry if I missed my appointment for two days in a row.
When I arrived, I didn't see gramps. Instead, there was a note pressed on the bench with a rock. It said "You stood me up on Saturday, so I'll also stand you up on Sunday, ptui!"
Damn gramps, can you not act cute! If you didn't come, when did you put this note on the wall?! Don't tell me that you wrote the note on Saturday and left it there for the whole day without anyone touching it!
It was clearly you who came today, went back when you saw the sandstorm, and then deliberately left a note to piss me off! Can you not be such an old child!
Today's weather was indeed not suitable for outdoor activities.
Actually, after last night's weather forecast, I already had a pretty good idea of what it would be like today. Even Ai Mi declined today's arrangements to protect her skin and wholeheartedly stayed at home.
Strictly speaking, it's not really a home, it's just a VIP building in Qing Zi Academy. It's like a high-class hotel. For me, there should be more things at home.
This morning, Peng TouSi called me and said Ai Mi wanted me to go play at her place. She also called Xiong YaoYue and asked us to go together if it was on the way.
I don't even know where Xiong YaoYue lives, how would I know if it was on the way! Also, since Ai Mi personally called Xiong YaoYue, why did she tell Peng TouSi to inform me? Would it kill her to directly say "I want you to come play" to her brother!
After returning from Dong Shan Lake, I took a shower and washed off the sand on my body. At this time, I suddenly received a call from an unknown number.
I came out of the bathroom naked and was prepared to scold the other party if it was an insurance salesman.
In the end, it was Xiong YaoYue who called. Ai Mi should have told her my phone number, right?
"Ah, I'm really sorry!" Xiong YaoYue apologized as soon as she opened her mouth.
Eh? What's going on? Did you know I was taking a shower? This clearly isn't a video call? Otherwise, if you see my nuclear mushroom swinging around, I'll be the one apologizing!
"I promised Miss Ai Mi that I would go play at her place, but the captain of the 'Wasteland Wolves' team called me and said there was an emergency in the team. He called me to the internet cafe to help out."
"Hey hey, slow down. What's the Wasteland Wolf Squad? What is' assisting in battle '? "
"It's a gaming team!" Xiong YaoYue seemed to be very anxious. "Because the second best player was dragged home by his parents, the captain urgently called me to Xintiandi Internet Cafe to fill in the gap! It was a 5v5 ranking match for LOL! If I don't go, I'll lose to the elementary school students on the other side! "
LOL？ League of Legends? So Xiong YaoYue is the kind of person that Xiao Ding said he wanted to cut ties with! Not only are you good at fighting games, but you're also an expert in other games? Also, you said that the other side is an elementary school student. I think that since the main force of your "Wasteland Wolves" was dragged home by the ear from the Internet cafe by his parents, he probably didn't even graduate from elementary school!
"Anyway, I'm really sorry! I can't let down my brothers in the team! I can only stand you and Miss Ai Mi up! Please don't resent me! I'll come and apologize another day! "
"That's not necessary, it's not like we have anything important to do." I said, "Anyway, it's more important for you to LOL with the team. Hurry up and go, I wish you luck!"
"Don't worry!" Xiong YaoYue said confidently, "I'll definitely win! I'll beat those elementary school students to death … "
Thus I changed into Qing Zi Academy's uniform and sneaked through the school gates in the sandstorm. I walked all the way to Ai Mi's VIP building.
Peng TouSi opened the door to room 101 for me. I was shocked when I walked in.
Because of the sandstorm, there wasn't enough sunlight today. The curtains were also tightly drawn as if they didn't want to let in a single ray of sunlight (it's understandable that Ai Mi is allergic to UV rays).
But why didn't you turn on the lights! Ai Mi, you can't be trying to save electricity like the class leader! You're holding a lighter, barefoot, and wearing a spaghetti strap dress. What are you burning with a serious expression!
After a closer look, it's fucking RMB! Ai Mi has nothing better to do, so she's burning money for fun! So what if you're rich! It's illegal to intentionally damage RMB, don't copy it! If you don't want RMB, you can send it to me!
Every time she burned a RMB, Ai Mi would blow on it with a cheerful expression. She admired the remaining corner of the 100 RMB bill as it fluttered onto the high class carpet. Her triangular stool was covered in ashes.
"Do you have nothing better to do?" I said, but Ai Mi didn't answer me. Instead, she took out another bill from the drawer and burned it. The atmosphere was a bit strange.
"Xiao Xiong … Winnie said she can't come today." I said again.
"I know." Ai Mi's tone seemed a bit cold in the dark room. The lighter in her hand and the burning bills were the only source of light.
"Winnie also called me to apologize. It's fine if she can't come, it's not like I'm really looking forward to you guys coming."
Ai Mi's hand was almost burned by the flames as she spoke insincerely. She frowned in pain and put her pinky in her mouth.
Ai Mi was clearly shrouded in disappointment. I don't think Ai Mi would be that affected by Xiong YaoYue standing her up.
Just from what I can see, there's already over two thousand RMB. Chairman Mao won't forgive you!
The atmosphere was so awkward because I breathed in a lot of dust on the way here. I coughed a few times.
"Did you take your medicine?" Ai Mi didn't turn around and her tone didn't show any extra concern.
"Why would I take medicine if I'm not sick? Even if I'm sick, I don't usually take medicine. I just drink some hot water and sleep in a quilt for a night! All warriors are like that! "
Ai Mi seemed to be smiling, but I couldn't see any joy on her face.
"You'll die if you're sick and don't take medicine …"
I disagreed, "Humans aren't that weak!"
"It's true, my grandfather went to heaven because he didn't take medicine when he was sick …"
Your grandfather? Ai ShuQiao's elopement partner, John's father? According to Peng TouSi, wasn't he poisoned by Ai ShuQiao because he opposed the marriage between his son and Ai ShuQiao? He only disguised it as a sudden heart attack and used a tomato extract that couldn't be detected back then to escape punishment until today! Why did Ai Mi say her grandfather died because he didn't take medicine? Didn't he die because he had a heart attack caused by a special enzyme after drinking that bowl of tomato soup?
Ai Mi burned the RMB while reminiscing about the distant past.
Because the air conditioner's ventilation function was turned to the max, there was no unpleasant smell of smoke in the room and the fire sensor on the ceiling was not triggered.
"I was only four years old at that time … no, maybe not even four years old? I heard from my mom that my grandfather hated my mom for always reminding him to take medicine, so he didn't let my mom visit. My mom said my grandfather had a serious heart attack and he would die if he didn't take medicine. I didn't want the grandfather I liked to die, so I asked my mom if there was a way for him to not die … "
"Mom told me that the next time I visit Grandpa's house, I can secretly mix the medicine for heart disease into Grandpa's food. She even gave me a nice pendant that was convenient to carry around with me. But I was too young, so I seemed to have forgotten to do it, so Grandpa still died …"
"After that, the pendant that my mother gave me also disappeared. Sometimes, I wonder if I've remembered wrongly. Maybe I never had the pendant at all. My mother also refused to admit that she told me those things. She said that I was too young to distinguish between reality and dreams …"
My heart suddenly received a huge blow.
Just like the kind grandfather who drank the bowl of tomato soup mixed with medicine and poured it on the dining table.
I understand now! That's why Peng TouSi said John clearly had evidence of Ai ShuQiao poisoning his father, but he didn't want the case to be exposed. Why did he say if the case was exposed, Ai Mi would suffer immeasurable harm!
Because Ai ShuQiao had an alibi! Because she was hated by John's father, she couldn't even get close to him, so she didn't have the qualifications to poison him!
Then, the truth of the case is: The grandfather Ai Mi liked was actually poisoned by Ai ShuQiao with the help of her less than four year old daughter!
That … that's too cruel! Ai ShuQiao, it's fine if you abandoned me when I wasn't even a month old since I don't want motherly love from someone like you. But Ai Mi was the new life you chose, you watched her grow up bit by bit!
Even though a four year old child can never be convicted by a jury, how could you have the heart to let your daughter kill someone at such a young age, especially the grandfather she liked! You've already lost the right to be a human!
Not only that, but you're also using this as a trump card against John? Maybe you already know that John kept the evidence from that year and you'll be in big trouble once an investigation is launched, so you're planning to drag your daughter down with you even if you die? If John wants to get justice for his father, the court will definitely summon Ai Mi as a witness as the investigation progresses. Ai Mi, who didn't know she poisoned her grandfather, will suddenly face the truth in court!
She grew up in a greenhouse, she's allergic to sunlight and almonds, she also has a fear of heights and gets lost … How can a girl who looks strong on the outside but is actually weak on the inside withstand this kind of blow? Do you want her to carry the psychological trauma of poisoning her own grandfather, carry the fact that she was deceived by her mother and became an accomplice to murder, and live the rest of her life after the age of 12?
I've never had such a strong impulse to take custody of my sister from Ai ShuQiao.
Enough! Enough!! How long are you going to use your own children as tools and pawns to control! Ai Mi's hands are already stained with her grandfather's blood, what else do you want her to be stained with? Get out of Ai Mi's life!!
The darkness in front of me, the darkness that Ai Mi can't get rid of no matter how many bills she burns, isn't it the evil cage that imprisoned Ai Mi, Ai ShuQiao!
I must free Ai Mi from this invisible cage! No matter how many years it takes, no matter how much I pay, no matter what dangers I face, only then will I be worthy of being her brother!
I silently vowed in my heart.
My sister, although the one who contacted me was Ai ShuQiao's evil bloodline, I can't abandon you.
Please give me a bit more time, no, it might take a long time, but I won't give up halfway.
Because the so-called brother, originally exists to protect his sister's smile.
