I miss you by the stars

Chapter 14 Am I Pretty?

In the abandoned warehouse until late at night, Yuxi couldn't get along anymore, so she had to carry her backpack and go home.

Today she was alone, without Jiang Yi by her side, she dared not go to the center of the town, and she was destined to miss the smoky fried noodle stall.She walked along the path, passed by a steamed bun stand, and bought a cold steamed bun for fifty cents.

As she walked and gnawed, the wound on the corner of her mouth had finally healed a little, and now she opened her mouth and opened it again. Faint and mottled blood stains were printed on the steamed buns, little by little pink.

Yu Xi thought to herself, why didn't she find this steamed bun so choking before.

Walking to the door of her aunt's house, Yu Xi was surprised to see that the lights in the main room were not turned off, and she was taken aback for a moment.

When she walked in, she saw her aunt sitting there with her arms folded, her nose was not her nose and her eyes were not her eyes. When she came in, she snorted coldly.

She ignored it and walked to her cubicle with her backpack on her back.

The aunt called: "You stop."

Yu Xi calmly looked back at her aunt, who stood up and rushed to Yu Xi, looked at the wound on her face and snorted coldly: "Little bitch, I knew it was you who caused the trouble."

Yu Xi didn't understand: "Huh?"

"Ah Xuan came home today, and I saw him being beaten up like that. When I asked him what was going on, he didn't say anything." The aunt's voice became more and more high-pitched: "Ah Xuan is so honest, why would he fight with others? It must be you at school Cause trouble, cause our Ah Xuan to be beaten."

Yu Xi didn't even bother to talk to her, and turned around calmly: "I'm going back to my room."

"Why are you running?" My aunt grabbed the strap of her backpack with such strength that the backpack was not strong in the first place, half of the strap she pulled broke, and there was a hiss.Yu Xi was pulled and shook twice, and her aunt's slap had already landed on her head and face.

Yu Xi's ears were buzzing, her right cheek was immediately swollen, and the wounds on her face were even more painful.

The aunt was still scolding: "Little slut, if I know that you will implicate Axuan and get beaten up in the future, I will never end with you..."

Yu Xi ignored her, and calmly walked to her cubicle with her backpack on her back.

She has been used to being wronged so much since she was a child.She has a clear mind and knows that the more entangled with such a person who can't explain the reason, the more troublesome it will be.

Walking out of the main room to the patio, Yu Xi took a deep breath under the moonlight—endure for another month, endure until she is an adult, endure until after the college entrance examination, she will not have to endure anything anymore.

At this time, a timid voice came from the corner of the courtyard: "Sister Xi."

Yu Xi turned her head and saw Cao Xuan's slightly fat face protruding from the door of his own room, seeing that the light in the main room had gone out, she walked to Yu Xi's side.

Handed Yu Xi an apple: "Sister Xi, here's for you..."

Yu Xi reached out to take it: "Thank you."

Cao Xuan's head was a little big, and now he lowered himself guiltily: "Sister Xi, I'm sorry..."

Yu Xi knew that Cao Xuan was as cowardly as his father by nature, and he didn't dare to defend her in front of his violent aunt, gritting his teeth and not pushing the matter to Yu Xi was his greatest courage.

But at least he feels guilty towards Yu Xi, he knows that things should not be like this.

Yu Xi's requirements for people are really not high, and it is enough to distinguish right from wrong, so she took Cao Xuan's apple and said to him calmly: "Go back to your room."

Cao Xuan was not hurt as badly as Yu Xi, and now his face was covered with medicine by his aunt, so he called Yu Xi again under the moonlight: "Sister Xi."

Yu Xi was already walking towards the cubicle, now turn around.

Cao Xuan said very seriously: "Sister Xi, you must be admitted to university. My New Year's wish and birthday wish this year are all like this."

"After entering the university, you...you can leave us and Zhuzhen."

Yu Xi nodded: "Okay, thank you."

She carried her backpack with half of the strap broken and walked towards the cubicle.

******

Yu Xi went back to the cubicle, and lit the broken desk lamp for a while to write the questions.

The more shit happened here, the more she couldn't wait to get out of here.The college entrance examination is the only chance she must never miss.

The only beauty left here seems to be Jiang Yi, the woman who appeared like an unreal miracle.

But now Jiang Yi is gone too.

In the abandoned warehouse, Jiang Yi left her because she was disobedient and refused to go to the hospital.

It wasn't until late at night that Yu Xi turned off the light and went to bed.

It is easy to fall asleep when I am tired from studying the questions, but today, I tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.Those wounds on the face can be tolerated during the day, but they hurt badly at night.

Yu Xi tossed and tumbled for a while, and simply gave up on falling asleep, laying on her side with a thin old blanket, looking at the patio outside the room.

Her small cubicle made of wooden boards is really not a room, it doesn't even have a door, and in the courtyard with a sweeping view, the moonlight shines down on a weed growing in the mud crack, which is actually very pretty. Beautiful scene.

Yu Xi thought of her mother, but she was actually quite a beautiful woman.There used to be a small yard like this in my grandmother's house. Sometimes on moonlit nights like this, her mother would dance under the moonlight, humming songs that Yu Xi had never heard before.

Yu Xi looked at the moonlight in the courtyard, feeling a little dazed, until a woman really appeared under the moonlight.

If it is in another place, the first reaction to seeing someone suddenly in the middle of the night should be that a thief has broken into the house.But here is Zhu Town, where the average person is extremely poor, there is nothing to steal in the house, and the locks on the yard are useless, and they are not repaired when they are broken.

Moreover, the woman who suddenly appeared under the moonlight, before Yuxi could see her figure clearly, she smelled the familiar scent of gardenia through the strong and cheap perfume.

It's Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi went into the courtyard, found Yu Xi's cubicle, but didn't come in, leaned against the door frame, lit a cigarette for himself, and left Yu Xi's silhouette under the moonlight.

The moonlight floats and floats, and the smoke circles around.

Yu Xi stared blankly at Jiang Yina's surprisingly beautiful silhouette.

Finally she couldn't bear it any longer, and said in a low voice, "Sister."

This is the first time she calls Jiang Yi "sister", she usually calls Jiang Yi's name stubbornly,

Jiang Yi turned her head, took the cigarette from her lips and lit two ash, and looked down at Yu Xi who was lying sideways on the bed.

Yu Xi curled her fingers tightly, and in the darkness that Jiang Yi couldn't see, she picked a small hole in the old blanket that was eaten by moths, and her voice was lower: "Sister, I'm in a little pain."

Jiang Yi sighed, walked in, sat by Yu Xi's bed, reached out and touched her forehead, and tucked her forehead hair messed up by the pillow behind her ears.

Then she patted the uninjured place on Yu Xi's face: "If you don't go to the hospital, don't go to the hospital. I'll rub the medicine on you."

She took out a bottle of medicine from the pocket of the red skirt, and a pack of cotton swabs, and turned on the old lamp by Yuxi's bed.

Yu Xi looked at it under the dim light, and the medicine bottle was unexpectedly exquisite, and it was densely printed on it, not in English, but in some language, maybe German.

This is not something Zhu Zhen can buy.

Yu Xi asked: "Where did this come from?"

"Didn't I come from the north?" Jiang Yi smiled: "I brought it."

Yu Xi said, "Isn't this expensive?"

"It's not expensive." Jiang Yi said softly, "My child, the world outside the mountain is different from what you think."

Yu Xi pursed her lips and said nothing.

Jiang Yi applied medicine to Yu Xi, the light from the old desk lamp was too dim, she had to get very close to see clearly.Yu Xi opened his eyes and saw Jiang Yi's thick and slender eyelashes cast a fluffy shadow under the light of the desk lamp.

Jiang Yiwei leaned over, and the soft red skirt material on her chest hung down, gently rubbing against Yuxi's arm.

Jiang Yi called her: "Child, you should close your eyes."

Yuxi then closed her eyes.

Jiang Yi was able to wipe the wound on Yuxi's eyes and forehead at this time, and while applying the medicine gently, he murmured: "If you don't apply the medicine properly, you will leave a scar. Such a beautiful face, what a pity..."

Yu Xi closed her eyes and asked, "Am I pretty?"

Jiang Yi smiled, as if remembering the question Yu Xi once asked her - "Am I a child's good-looking? Or an adult's good-looking?"

Jiang Yi put down the medicine bottle and cotton swab, and patted Yu Xi's uninjured face again: "Well, it's pretty close to an adult."

Yu Xi closed her eyes and said, "Really."

Different from Jiang Yi's Ming Yan, Yu Xi has a cold appearance and a cold tone. Now, in order to facilitate Jiang Yi to apply the medicine, her face is flat and even a smile is useless.

Jiang Yi took advantage of the moonlight and the light from the desk lamp to look at Yu Xi's closed eyes.The eyebrows are thick and black, and there is a bit of sharpness between them, the bridge of the nose is straight and straight, and the lips have a beautiful arc.

Jiang Yi was in a daze.

She had always regarded Yu Xi as a child before, only now did she suddenly realize that the baby fat on Yu Xi's face had already faded away, and she had a bit of a mature look.

For some reason, she was shocked by the flashing maturity on Yu Xi's face, and unconsciously looked away.

She looked at the moonlight shining through the cubicle and said, "Okay, I'm leaving."

Yu Xi opened her eyes and said, "Sister, I really hurt."

When Yu Xi opened her eyes and spoke, in front of Jiang Yi, she felt a little bit wronged, and she didn't look that mature again.Jiang Yi smiled, she thought for a while: "Shall I sing you a song?"

Yu Xi said: "Okay."

The old house is not soundproof, so Jiang Yi Wencun's voice is very low: "Red Flower Girl, Green Flower Lang, Ganzhimei's tent, Ivory Flower's bed..."

Her hands were so light and soft, and she patted Yu Xi's back lightly through the old blanket that had already pilled and lost its hair.

There was a hot flash on Yuxi's back.

She seemed to have forgotten the pain of the wound on her face, and she didn't know when she fell asleep.

When she opened her eyes again, she still maintained the posture of lying on her side last night, but it was already bright outside, and the bright midsummer sun shone into the patio, which was like another world compared to last night's ambiguity.

Jiang Yi, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, had long since disappeared, leaving a scent of gardenia in the air, slowly entering Yu Xi's nose.

******

When Yu Xi finished washing and was about to go to school with her backpack on her back, she met Cao Xuan who was also about to go out, so she smiled at her.

Yu Xi nodded calmly.

Where his aunt could not see, Cao Xuan quietly approached Yu Xi: "Sister Xi, when I was reading a novel in my room last night, I heard someone singing."

Yu Xi said: "You heard wrong."

The author says:

How come this year? ? ?Who taught it? ? ?

Jiang Yi: It’s not me anyway (Progress: The blood tank is half empty)
