Eleven years ago.

    Lin Lan.

    The wind in the dark night of winter slashed my face like a knife, and there was only the sound of a man's hurried and heavy breathing on the quiet and dirty dirt road in Shimada District.

    The tall figures were all buried in the darkness, and only a small body could be vaguely seen between the thick arms of the man, struggling constantly.

      , I killed you!"

    Zhixi woke up after being jolted and jolted. The little girl's mouth was tightly covered with tape, and she couldn't make a sound. She could only cry silently, covering her face. It quickly freezes into ice on winter nights.

    Zhi Qi didn't dare to move anymore.

    Although she is young, she is ten years old and already a 'big kid' in the fourth grade. The little girl vaguely understands that she may have been kidnapped.

    After understanding, a deeper chill spread from the soles of the feet to the hair.

    In Zhiqi's memory, she was carried by men for a long, long time.

    I almost vomited when it was bumpy before being rudely 'thrown' down.

    The man wanted to transfer Zhiqi out of the city, but he was suffering from patrolling security at various toll gates in the middle of the night, so he could only temporarily put the **** a dilapidated truck carrying cabbage.

    After that, regardless of her life or death, she took a big padded jacket at the back of the truck, wrapped it up, and went to sleep in the front seat.

    Zhi Qi was scared to death, her teeth sealed with tape creaked, and the girl's big, bright eyes were even brighter after being washed with tears, especially in the dark trunk of the truck.

    But she couldn't see anything clearly, only the tip of her nose could smell a cold, rotten vegetable leaf smell.

    That was the first time Zhiqi remembered a particular flavor.

    From then on, she didn't like to eat cabbage.

    And the outlaw who tied her was snoring and sleeping soundly.

    Ten-year-old children will not think about such a profound question of why doom would befall them. They will only be afraid and tremble helplessly.

    Zhixi couldn't remember how many times she cried, her face was frozen with tears, her big eyes were fixed on the top of her head - it should be the roof of the carriage, but she couldn't see anything clearly .

    Until an unknown amount of time passed, a slight rustling sound came from outside the carriage.

      'Light' comes in.

    Zhi Qi immediately curled up in fright, her eyes frightened.

    She was afraid that it was the man who was going to 'kill' her. For a moment, she seemed to be ringing in her ears, forgetting that the thunderous snoring continued.

    until she saw a person's head emerge from the corner of the opened curtain.

    That was the first time Zhiqi saw Jiang Qi, she never imagined that the 'unparalleled hero' who saved her from the fire and water would be a little boy about her age.

    It is.

    The boy with a pale face and sharp eyebrows at a young age saw the girl **** in a ball in the truck, and his expression turned out to be calm.

    "Stay quiet."

    Jiang Qi's voice was very low, almost speaking in an air tone, but his movements were neatly dismantling the restraints on the girl's hands and feet - he should be very skilled in dismantling things frequently.

    Fortunately, Jiang Qi seemed to have known it for a long time and did not take off the tape on her face.

    The boy turned his back to her and said softly, "Climb on my back."

    Zhi Qi had actually lost consciousness with sore hands and feet, but maybe it was because she was desperate to survive, maybe because she was too scared, she crawled onto Jiang Qi's back.

    It was like a dream.

    As far as possible from here.

    Leaving here, seems to have left those nightmares, the pain...

    The first time he saw Jiang Qi, he saved her.

    In every dream of Zhiqi since then, from boys to teenagers, Jiang Qi is the only one.

    His pale face, black and sharp eyebrows, like a dream.

    Until the turbulence became stronger and stronger, Jiang Qi suddenly grew taller and his face was evil and fierce.

    "Jiang Qi!"

    Zhi Qi sat up abruptly, sweating all over her head, almost soaking the chestnut hair on her forehead.

    At the same time, the lights in the bedroom also turned on, and the soft warm light suddenly broke the heavy and solidified atmosphere in the dark.

    Roommate Meng Chunyu only vaguely heard Zhixi's cry and sat up, and subconsciously turned on the bedside lamp, she rubbed her eyes and asked confusedly: "Xiqi, what are you doing? Have a nightmare?"

    "...Sorry." She turned her head, her soft and bright voice was now hoarse, and said slowly, "Chunyu, you can continue to sleep."

    Obviously she hasn't recovered yet, Zhiqi's hands and feet are numb.

    Until the desk lamp went out and the bedroom was plunged into darkness again, Zhiqi slowly curled up her knees and wrapped her arms around it—just like a baby seeking maternal protection.

    Zhi Qi said in a babble: "Jiang Qi..."

    She really misses him.

    Every time she dreamed of Jiang Qi, Zhiqi would not be able to sleep, she almost opened her eyes to watch the dawn, until Meng Chunyu in the next bed woke up and went to wash up.

    Then came back and found that Zhiqi was awake too.

    "Xiqi, are you awake?" Meng Chunyu sat at the table and smeared on her pile of cosmetics, she couldn't help but smile when she opened her eyes: " You had another nightmare last night."

    The reason for the use of the word 'again' is that she and Zhiqi lived in the same dormitory for three years in college. This kind of situation happened frequently, and Meng Chunyu was not surprised.

    "I'm sorry." Zhixi didn't explain that she hadn't slept all the time, she simply sat up straight, with a soft and peaceful smile on her pale slap: "Did I disturb you again?"

    "No, no." Meng Chunyu waved his hand indifferently, and only took the opportunity to squeeze Zhiqi's face 'eat tofu': "Tsk, it's so tender, you know that I always sleep and die. It's almost like a pig, nothing."

    So, after living together for three years, Meng Chunyu didn't know what name Zhiqi called when she had a nightmare.

    Zhixi smiled and lowered her eyes silently.

    Perhaps she was lucky to have met such a good roommate, because she did not want to break free from her nightmare.

    After all, it is good to see Jiang Qi in a dream.

    "Xiqi, are you going to the library this weekend?" Meng Chunyu took a bun at breakfast and asked her vaguely, "Why don't you relax this week? I think the reason you like to have nightmares on weekdays is because you are under too much pressure, how about we go to the movies? It is said that the new film directed by Shen Lei has just been released. Although the subject matter is small, it is very beautiful!"

    Meng Chunyu is an uncompromising star-chasing girl, and when she mentions things related to the entertainment industry, she can't help but shine.

    A girl like this made Zhiqi curious about how she chose the same major as herself in the field of 'wildlife and nature reserve management'.

    This major is only established by Lin Lan's Forestry University, and only about 40 undergraduates are recruited each year. Among them, there are very few girls. They are even only her and Meng Chunyu this time.

    Ke Zhiqi felt that the major of 'media' was more suitable for Meng Chunyu.

    "Okay." She didn't want to dispel Meng Chunyu's interest, thinking that she hadn't relaxed for a long time, she agreed: "What time?"

    "Well, there is a game at noon, so let's go see that."

    Meng Chunyu bowed her head to buy tickets, and when she was done, she looked up to see Zhiqi sitting by the window with her eyes down, reading a book, her porcelain white teeth biting the straw of a cup of porridge, very focused.

    Like a princess in an ivory tower without light.

    For some unknown reason, this adjective would appear in Meng Chunyu's mind whenever she was amazed by Zhiqi's beauty.

    She knew that Zhiqi was different from her, and even different from the girls in the whole school. The longer she got along, the more she felt this way.

    Zhixi seems to be well-behaved, submissive, and will not reject others, but Meng Chunyu knows that she always refuses to communicate with others in depth except herself, just like... She is completely insecure.

    For three years in college, Zhiqi spent most of her time studying.

    Having a full scholarship, their grade points are surprisingly high, and because of the special nature of their major is a 'hard major', they also have to take many other professional courses, including internships abroad, Flying from all over the world, doing experiments...

    So Zhiqi never spends her mind in other places like she does, and is an out-and-out '2G girl'.

    Meng Chunyu admired and knew that she would never become a princess like Zhiqi, but she was actually a diligent and hardworking fairy.

    But she can be the 'female knight' who guards the fairies.

    Meng Chunyu took Zhiqi's arm with a smile and pulled the girl out the door.

    On the way to the cinema, Meng Chunyu was talking about how awesome the new director Shen Lei is, how many films he has made in film festivals, and so on. Obviously, he admires him very much in his words.

    Zhixi didn't understand this. Although she was confused, she was very serious. It was just a question from time to time that made Meng Chunyu speechless.

    For example—

    Zhixi asked solemnly: "You said that the movie we watched today is a murder story of a criminal with a seven-person psychosis, but now the review is strict, will there be **** scenes in this kind of movie? It's all deleted. Can't express the meaning of it?"

    …

    Meng Chunyu, who had never investigated this, was speechless.

    After a while, she said weakly, "Should... have?"

    A suspense thriller crime film, a seven-person psychopathic criminal is the protagonist, what's the point of not having any **** scenes?

    There was a traffic jam on the road. When the two arrived at the cinema, it was three minutes before the broadcast started, and they almost flew all the way to the screening hall.

    Perhaps this film directed by Shen Lei is really popular.

    The two of them sneaked to their place quietly with a cat on their waists. Zhiqi sat down and raised his head, and a close-range face suddenly appeared on the big screen that almost filled the entire line of sight. close up.

    On the screen is a very handsome teenager.

      the taste of.

     Her breathing became heavy, and she closed her eyes and opened them again.

    Yes, she will never forget that face on the screen, it is clearly Jiang Qi!

    Zhi Qi suddenly stood up.

    With her unconscious movements, there was an uproar behind her.

    "Ah, Qixi, why are you standing up?" Meng Chunyu was startled, and hurriedly pulled her, her voice lowered: "Sit down quickly."

    Zhixi was controlled by her like a puppet and had to sit down mechanically.

    A thin layer of sweat quickly dripped from her palms, and she stared at Jiang Qi on the screen without blinking, but her voice asked Meng Chunyu next to her: "This is... this is Who?"

    "It is said to be a rookie actor named Jiang Qi, who was dug up by Shen Lei." Meng Chunyu knew the virtues of Zhiqi 2G girls, and explained to her in a low voice—

    "The industry has always praised Director Shen for his good vision, this man is dead handsome, and this movie is his debut. He can play Shen Lei's films when he debuted, and I always guessed that he has a backstage, but you guessed it What's the matter, some time ago, some netizens picked up this man who had been in prison before!"

    "My God, this news is too hot, I didn't believe it at first, but the hammer is too solid and no one can deny it... Tsk tsk, the world really depends on the face."

    Meng Chunyu's voice lingers in his ears, like an obscure rope that can pull people back to the past.

    Zhixi suddenly felt extreme pain, this pain made her close her eyes, but she was reluctant to miss every scene of Jiang Qi.
