Ning Meng's heart was suddenly filled with anger.
Domestic violence …
No wonder Zhang Ke Ke was such a coward. She looked at the wounds on her body. Some were new, and some were old. Her face was still fine, but there was not a single part of her body below her collar that was unscathed!
Other than the bruises, there were also some marks left by a stick. There were even cigarette burns on her thighs!
Ning Meng's eyes turned red, and she was so angry that her body was trembling.
That night, Ning Meng could not sleep.
Zhang Ke Ke seemed to be dreaming of something, and she cried out, "Daddy, please don't hit me! I beg you!"
"Mommy, help!"
"…"
Ning Meng felt sad and sad.
The next day, they went to school. When school was over, Zhang Ke Ke hid in her seat, not daring to go home.
Ning Meng saw this and said, "Why don't you come with me …"
"It's okay! I can do it. "
Zhang Ke Ke quickly waved her hand. "Huo … Huo Beichen is very difficult to talk to. I-I will chase you out if I go there again."
"…"
After saying this, Zhang Ke Ke carried her backpack and walked toward the door with her head lowered. When she was at the door, she stopped and looked at Ning Meng. "Thank you for taking me in last night. Thank you for taking me in."
She smiled, revealing a row of white teeth in her cracked mouth. "You made me spend a warm Christmas Eve."
Christmas Eve?
Ning Meng just realized that today was Christmas.
She nodded her head in a daze.
Zhang Ke Ke lowered her head, looking timid.
She should not meddle in other people's business.
Ning Meng did not want to get involved in trouble. Moreover, she was in a strange world, and her power was limited. She said, "Zhang Ke Ke, remember to call the police if anything happens."
Zhang Ke Ke's eyes narrowed when she heard the word 'police'.
Huang Cheng, who had not left, was shocked. "You have so many friends. You even have the police's number? That's amazing! Is it the police captain's or the police officer's?"
"??"
She kept quiet for a while and then smiled. "Not only do I have the police's number, but I also have the hospital's number and the fire department's number."
Huang Cheng was stunned. "Huh?"
Ning Meng rolled her eyes and ignored him.
As the three of them walked out of the classroom, Ning Meng saw Su Ye's silhouette flashing past her. Recalling that Huo Beichen would disappear for two hours every afternoon, she called out to Huang Cheng and quickly caught up to Su Ye.
Su Ye's figure flickered before disappearing at the crossroad.
Ning Meng hesitated for a while before choosing a random direction to follow.
After walking for about a hundred meters, he saw Su Ye's figure.
Ning Meng slowed down her pace and followed him to a small park.
Su Ye stood at the entrance of the small park and looked into it. However, she did not enter. Instead, she stomped her feet and waited in place.
Ning Meng looked over and saw that Huo Beichen was sitting on a wooden chair beside the fountain in the park. He was just sitting there quietly, not doing anything.
Ning Meng was confused.
Could it be that this guy disappears for two hours every afternoon just to sit here and do nothing?
She did not disturb Huo Beichen and watched from afar.
After a while, Huo Beichen estimated that it was time. He stood up and walked out.
Seeing that he had moved, Su Ye hurriedly chased after him. "Lord Chen, it's Christmas today. My mom is asking you to come over for dinner."
Huo Beichen was stunned when he heard this.
Thinking that there was a dog and a person at home, he fell silent for a while before saying, "I don't celebrate Christmas."
Su Ye was confused.
Holidays were just an excuse. Eating was the real deal. Who would really celebrate Christmas properly?!
Besides, didn't you have a good time last year?
However, Huo Beichen could only silently complain in his heart. His narrowed eyes hid his true thoughts and he could only smile. "Then, come over to my house for dinner on New Year's Day."
"We'll see."
The two of them turned around and walked further and further away.
After the two of them had completely disappeared, Ning Meng then walked into the small garden. She sat down on the chair that Huo Beichen was sitting on and looked ahead. However, she could not see anything.
There was a fountain in front of her. There must have been some kind of flower planted in front of it. However, it was winter and there was no one in the garden. As it was too cold, there were not many people in the garden.
Ning Meng sat there for about a minute and felt the cold wind blowing into her body. She was so cold that she could not help but shiver. She stood up. She could not understand what Huo Beichen was thinking, so she decided to turn around and leave.
However, after taking two steps, she suddenly realized something. She turned around and walked to the wooden chair. After a while, she started to walk around the chair.
The paint on the wooden chair had faded due to the wind and the sun. It did not look very good.
She walked around in a circle and finally found something. She slowly squatted down.
She looked down and saw a line of words written under the chair. Due to the angle, the words were slightly crooked. It looked very childish, but at the same time, it was very warm. "Mommy and daddy will always be with me."
At the end, there was a heart-shaped symbol.
Ning Meng was stunned.
Her heart felt like it was being squeezed by an invisible hand. It was so painful that she could not breathe.
She stared at it for a long time before she realized that there was another line of words beside it. Due to the angle, the words were also crooked. "I'm still here. But what about you guys?"
Ning Meng's eyes instantly became moist.
Perhaps it was because she was a mangaka, but she always had a lot of thoughts in her mind. She could even imagine Huo Beichen's parents taking him for a walk in the park.
Huo Jinyao's mother was very excited and childishly wrote the words above.
When she wrote the words, Huo Beichen, who was already in high school, had his hands in his pockets. He was saying "idiot", but he was still playing along.
Huo Jinyao's father was watching from the side. The family of three was happy and harmonious.
The scene changed.
Huo Beichen's parents had been in a car accident and had never woken up again. Huo Beichen had come here alone. This small garden was very close to the villa. It was probably a place where Huo Beichen's parents often came to take a walk.
This place was filled with the shadows of his parents.
His mother liked the Yu Jinhua, his father ran on the track, and the fake mountain where the family of three played …
Huo Beichen was still here, but his parents were not.
Ning Meng's tears rolled down her face. At this moment, she really wanted to give Huo Beichen a hug.
Anyone who had suddenly experienced all of this would feel depressed.
After leaving the small garden, Ning Meng quickened her steps. She wanted to reach home as soon as possible. She did not want Huo Beichen to get suspicious if he did not see her when he got home.
When she passed by a row of small houses, she suddenly heard the sound of beating and scolding.
She was in a hurry and did not pay attention to it. When she turned her head, she saw Zhang Ke Ke crawling out of the door, covered in blood …
