Su Yumian stood in the wind, and the sun shone her eyes lighter, as if she could see the bottom in an instant, but she seemed to be unable to see the bottom.

Yi Liao came over, pressed his forehead against her forehead, and said nothing for a long time.

In this short and long silence, he thought a lot.

He remembered that he was betrayed by a school speech contest when he was a child, that he once sat in the shade of a hidden tree and watched other children fly kites, that the fear brought to him by the paparazzi surrounding him at his doorstep, and that he had never stopped public opinion since he could remember.

But he thought of the girl's innocent smiling face that year under the lights of the classroom; he remembered the fact that she always saw her thin wrist from the back, the sillyness she was when she buried her head in writing essays word by word, and the small fluff on her nose that was shining by the warm sun...

A classmate once asked him: Do you know how lucky you are?

He didn't know. Because he didn't understand where he had been lucky in the past twenty years? If he had never even had luck, how could he talk about this issue?

But now, he understood. It turned out that he was really lucky, and he was very, very lucky.

"My luck..." Yi Liao said slowly, "My luck is you."

Su Yumian didn't know what he was saying, raised his eyes in confusion, but found that his eyes were red inexplicably red. She reached out to cover her and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

“The weather…it’s too cold.”

Su Yumian immediately put his hand into his pocket: "Then let's go find a warm place. Have you eaten? I ran over after a few bites and am still a little hungry now. There seems to be a hot pot restaurant nearby with a high rating. Should we try it?" He glanced at the loose scarf on Yi Liao's neck and tied it up immediately, "Is it windy in my neck? I feel that my neck is cold and my whole body is cold, so I actually don't like winter very much."

Yilan listened to her thoughts patiently and smiled from time to time.

"It seems that when winter comes, you talk a lot."

"Ah, isn't it a little noisy?" Su Yumian said embarrassedly, "But many years ago, you told me that talking more when it's cold can make you feel hot."

"Have I said it?" Yi Liao narrowed his eyes and thought about it. It seemed that he had really said that in order to scare her to say a few more words to himself... He suddenly wanted to laugh, "Did you believe it? I have believed it for so many years?"

"Are you lied to me?"

Seeing that his wife was about to become furious again, Yi Liao quickly said, "No, what I said is true. If you talk more, I will get fever."

"ha?"

"Really, I feel very warm now." Yi Liao smiled gently, "It is the warmth you brought to me."

After eating hot pot, Su Yumian and Yi Liao held hands and wandered around the streets. Yi Liao wore a mask, so they were all in peace and were not recognized. Passing by a small jewelry store, Su Yumian's eyes lit up and he pulled him in.

The store is crowded with girls, and occasionally a few men have to come in with girls. Yidao is amazing for the first time when she came to such a concentrated place for girls.

There are various strange-shaped headbands and crystal-clear jewelry on the shelves, and the prices are very affordable. Although they are not as valuable as regular jewelry, most of the goods here are to please girls for a while.

Although it was fake, Yi Lan was still shook her eyes by the rhinestones in the glass cabinet. She looked up at Su Yumian and found that her face was shining brightly under the light.

Su Yumian squeezed into the hair accessories area, where there were girls trying on it. She saw a cute cat-eared hairband at a glance, and waved to Yijie: "Come here."

Yi Lao suddenly had a bad premonition and moved over slowly.

He is very tall and has a stunning temperament. Even though he is wearing a mask, he is still outstanding. The girls around him pretend to look at him inadvertently.

Su Yumian took off the cat ear headband and wanted to put it on his head. He shook it for a while, but in the end he couldn't persuade her, so he had to bend down and hand it over.

His obedient look made the girls' hearts explode instantly, and the eyes of Su Yumian added naked envy and jealousy.

Su Yumian sincerely praised him: "So cute!"

Yi Liao shook his head with a cat ear, said a little unwillingly: "I can't wear such a stupid thing by myself." His eyes glanced at the shelves, took off a rabbit ear, and gently put it on Su Yumian's head, and then showed a satisfied look.

"It's cute," he whispered.

Although it was not the first time he praised him, Su Yumian still blushed a little. He took off his hairband and walked towards the decoration area. Su Yumian saw a little doll Corgi, holding it in his hand and rubbed it. Suddenly, the voice of the girl next to him came.

"Hey, do you know what Yi talked about recently?"

Her boyfriend was a little disdainful: "It's that arsonist."

Su Yu's sleep was stagnant.

"Don't talk nonsense." The girl complained, "The truth of the facts has not come out yet, and he may not be the criminal."

The boy said "skipping" with a look of "You women are crazy": "He just has a good parents, a second-generation star, rich and handsome. Without his background, who would recognize him..." The boy hugged his girlfriend and walked away.

Su Yumian looked at Yi Liao in panic, but saw that he looked at the dolls in front of him as if he hadn't heard it, focusing on him: "Which one do you like? Let's buy it home."

"Yijie..." Su Yumian gently pulled the corner of his clothes.

"Um?"

"You..." She wanted to speak but stopped.

Yi Liao sighed lightly, and there was nothing he could do about her: "Don't worry about me, I've said it, I've been used to it for a long time."

But Su Yumian still couldn't pretend that she didn't hear it. The boy's words just now were like a needle piercing her heart, making her breathless for a moment. And how ridiculous the experience of Yi Chau was so accustomed to it. Thinking of this, she put it back to the doll Corgi a little depressedly.

Yidao asked: "Don't you like this?"

"Ah? It's not that I don't like it." Su Yumian and Corgi looked at each other for a long time, "Don't you think it's ugly and cute? It was quite festive, but now I feel... it's okay..."

Yi Liao took her expression in his eyes and suddenly carried Corgi into his arms: "Since you don't want it, I'll buy it." He blinked, "I want to buy it as well as the cat-eared hairband just now."

Su Yumian looked at him in confusion.

Yi Liao's eyes bent and leaned into her ear and said, "I have to buy all the things that can make you happy."

When he returned home, Su Yumian thought about it and felt that he still had to come forward to testify for him, even though he had said "No, really no."

"Why?" she couldn't help but ask.

Yi Lan trimmed Brother Cat’s nails. Brother Cat seems to be not an ordinary cat. He is very obedient when cutting his nails. He will actively expand his claws and stretch out his nails for him to cut them.

Su Yumian guessed: "Are you afraid that I will be implicated?"

"Yeah." Yi Zao did not deny it, and continued to add, "You have experienced such a thing, and I don't want to see you get hurt anymore. Also, you used to..."

The words stopped when they were on their lips, but Su Yumian knew what he was going to say. Since he learned that she had suffered from school bullying before, he was always worried about her, although the nature of these two things was completely different.

"Don't worry about me." Su Yumian said, "I always have to go through some small setbacks in life, and I'm not afraid. Besides, because of miyuki's incident, I feel that my resistance to public opinion has increased more than a little!"

"That won't push you forward to block the knife."

"How can this be called a knife blocking?" Su Yumian wanted to express his thoughts, "Test you and prove your innocence. Even if I am not your girlfriend, this is what I should do..."

"I said I don't need it, but I don't need it." Yi Jie intercepted her head, rubbed her hair, and walked into the study, "I won't discuss this anymore, I'll practice the word for a while."

Su Yumian sat in the living room in a daze.

She finally realized that Yi Lao not only disagrees, but also had a little resistance. Why... resisted her to come forward to testify? This clearly allowed everyone's suspicion of him to clear him. Could it be... a thought came to Su Yumian's mind that he didn't want to clear these suspicions for the time being?

This is so strange. Why did he endure it silently that it was not good for him? After thinking about it, Su Yumian could only find one reason to explain: Yilan knew who the real prisoner was, and before the investigation results came out, he planned to take the blame for the man with silence.

So who can make Yi talk so cruelly? Su Yumian guessed countless identities, ex-girlfriends, girls who had a good impression of college, family members, and they were not likely to be.

Finally, Su Yumian decided to go and ask Yijie in person.

In the study room, Yi Liao had just dipped the tip of the pen with ink, and Su Yumian rushed in like a whirlwind.

"Who is it?" She looked at her face with a rare stern look, "Who should you know that real arsonist?"

Yi Liao's eyes fell back on the rice paper and said "yes" calmly.

Su Yumian supported her hands on the table: "Tell me who it is." After pausing, her momentum calmed down slightly and added, "Yi Lao, don't hide it from me anymore. You just promised me that you will rely on me."

Yi Liao raised his eyes and read the confidence from her face. He sighed slightly and slowly said, "I will watch it as soon as the surveillance video is clicked. It is someone I can recognize at a glance."

We have been together for so many years, have been scrambling together, playing basketball together, and have slept on the playground together, so familiar that we can't be familiar with each other, so even though the other party was covered tightly, he still recognized the figure at the first moment.

But in the past few days, he couldn't figure out why that person did such a thing.

He really didn't want to believe that the boy who once had a clear smile and cheerful smile on the lower bunk had embarked on an extreme road...

Yi Dao's expression was confused and painful, and seeing that Su Yumian's aura disappeared, he could only ask carefully: "Is it someone I know?"

He nodded and said, "It's Jin Yan."

Yi talked about very few friends. He kept studying in high school. Except for the boys around the seat, he was not very familiar with the others in his class. After he went to college, he became good friends with his roommates because he started staying. He cherished those brothers very much. This is probably the case with people. The more they lack, the more they cherished them. In the end, they became worried about gains and losses.

At least in Su Yumian's eyes, his concerns this time were mixed with too much affection and loyalty. But... she thought of something, but she stopped talking.

Yi Liao understood her eyes and spoke by himself: "I know what you are going to say." He lowered his eyes, the tip of his pen slowly turned in the inkstone, and the thick ink fragrance fermented indoors. "He dressed up as me, but there was only one reason to explain: he did it on purpose."

"The key is here, why did he do this? Maybe you can know his motivation by finding this answer."

"Yes, why did he do this?" Yi Zao repeated her question, but his attention was on the tip of his pen.

The "why" in his words is not the same as the "why" asked by Su Yumian. He was betrayed by his good friend. The bystanders asked the question out of curiosity, but the question asked by the person involved was for himself to express his depression.

In fact, after this incident, Yi Zao tried to contact Jin Yan, but the other party seemed to have disappeared. He didn't reply to WeChat and couldn't make a call. Even Yi Zao's questions were blocked in his heart were not answered.

Su Yumian had no such experience. He wanted to comfort him but didn't know how to speak. He could only sit quietly by and watch him write, just pretending to be accompanying him.

Time passed by bit by bit, Yi Dao was as calm as a mountain, and he was so focused that he seemed to be integrated with the brush and ink. When he wrote the last sentence of "Thousand Characters", he suddenly wrote and said, "Because I am Yi Dao."

Su Yumian was a little drowsy, but he woke up immediately as soon as he spoke, and opened his mouth in confusion: "Ah?"

"I'm answering your question just now." Bi Mo pressed her to her chin, Yi Dao smiled leisurely, "Wipe your saliva quickly."

Su Yumian obediently raised her sleeves, wiped the corners of her mouth, and then she realized: "Wait, 'Because you are Yidao', so he wants to pretend to be you?" Su Yumian felt that he was not thinking enough, "What does this mean?"

Yi Liao deliberately teased her: "Guess?"

Su Yumian shook his hand: "I don't guess, I'm too lazy to guess. I only know that I thought about it for a long time and finally made a decision - I still want to prove it for you."

Yidao was a little surprised and asked: "Why?"

"He is your brother, but not mine. Whether he is gloating or afraid of death, it has nothing to do with me." She stood up from the chair, stretched her waist, narrowed her eyes towards the unrestrained sunset outside the window, and said, "I don't care about your friendship. What I want to do is just protect the people I care about." She turned slightly, and the colleague on the right was dyed golden by the setting sun. "If it were your family here, I believe they would make the same choice."

Before Yidao could speak, she added: "And, I need to prove it to myself."

Yilan is confused: "What is it proving?"
