"Ha! You can't control this. If you don't obey me, you may run out of food and you won't be able to bear it anymore."

"I……"

Yan Chijuan didn't know how he got back to the bedroom.

I only remember that my back was covered with sweat. After finally closing the door and locking it, I slumped down on the ground against the door frame. My heartbeat was pounding and I was panting. My eyes were full of fear and panic.

Her body was weak from excessive panic. She only felt that her arms were numb, her mind was in a state of confusion, and she didn't know what to do.

After waiting for more than an hour, she gradually clarified her thoughts. While listening to the movement in the master bedroom, she took out a suitcase from her cabinet.

This small pink suitcase was a birthday gift given to her when her parents took her on a trip before they divorced.

At the moment, she couldn't care too much. Her excessive panic and fear of the man made her control the movement in her room while putting all the items she needed to take away into her suitcase and school bag.

After packing everything, she sat quietly by the bed, listening to the sounds outside the house without moving.

She sat there from ten o'clock in the evening until one o'clock in the morning. After confirming that the two people in the master bedroom were fast asleep, she finally picked up her suitcase, put on her schoolbag, and walked out of the room cautiously.

Then he opened the door to his house.

However, the sound of opening the door, which was not a harsh sound at all on weekdays, made a piercing sound at this moment. In the dark and quiet environment, it struck Yan Chijuan's heart like thunder.

Especially when she heard footsteps coming from the master bedroom, Yan Chijuan didn't hesitate anymore and rushed out of the house with her suitcase. Then she ran downstairs without even having time to close the door.

And in the dark living room, the man got up to go to the bathroom at night, and didn't even notice the door being opened, so he was easily escaped by Yan Chiju.

After leaving home, Yan Chiju ran out of the corridor in panic and confusion. He ran hundreds of meters from the entrance of the community, walked around two street corners, and then he gasped for air and held his suitcase, looking up with a look of exhaustion.

Look up at the deep night sky.

Like a young bird escaping from a prison, it is also scarred.

Only 16 years old, she looked at the deserted streets with a helpless expression. The shops on the streets were different from the hustle and bustle of the day. They were dead silent and only loneliness surrounded her.

Yan Chijiu thought of his father, relied on his memory, dragged his suitcase and carried his schoolbag, and walked towards the place where Yan Hongzhi lived.

She was already a little vague about the address of her father's apartment. From one o'clock in the morning to five or six o'clock in the morning, she walked back and forth for at least ten kilometers before she finally found the familiar building and stood there like this.

At the intersection, look up.

But when it was past seven o'clock in the morning, I saw people coming out of the corridor one after another. Everyone looked at the little girl who didn't dare to stand in the sun with strange eyes, which made her feel embarrassed to continue standing here and dragged her along.

The suitcase walked to the lawn and gravel road not far away, and found a stone bench to sit down on.

So she continued to wait and wait, her mind in confusion, until after nine o'clock in the morning, she finally waited until the person she was looking for came out of the corridor.

But following Yan Hongzhi, there was also a beautiful middle-aged woman and a young man.

A family of three came out of the corridor happily, wearing very casual clothes. The boy was also carrying a small schoolbag. It seemed that the family was preparing to go out to play.

Yan Chijuan was sitting on a stone bench, with only a layer of short bushes between him and the three people over there.

If Yan Hongzhi had glanced this way, he would have easily seen the lonely Yan Chijuan sitting here.

At this time, Yan Chiju felt that he could not move his legs at all.

Obviously, as long as he stood up and ran to that man, he might be able to usher in a new life.

Or maybe she just needs to sit here, call daddy, and attract Yan Hongzhi's attention to change everything.

But looking at the warm and harmonious scene of a family of three over there, Yan Chijuan was unable to speak or get up from beginning to end. He stared at the scene with blank eyes until the three people got into the car and drove past him.

At this moment, the only things that could accompany her on her journey were the remaining clothes and textbooks in her suitcase, and the few hundred dollars she had saved.

From that moment, she suddenly realized.

I may have been redundant since I was born.

——————————

late at night.

Xu Xing looked down at Yan Chiju, who could no longer hold back the tears in his eyes, and could clearly feel the tremors of her thin body.

Even after many years, that past event still made her fearful and panicked.

"Later, I was dragging my suitcase along the roadside. I didn't have much money and couldn't afford to stay in a hotel, so I had to find an Internet cafe."

"But my ID card shows that I am 16 years old and cannot access the Internet. If Sister Yuanyuan hadn't been helping out at the Internet cafe during the summer vacation and took me in, I probably wouldn't know where I am now."

Yan Chijiu whispered this, not daring to raise her face to look at Xu Xing, "Would you mind? My mother..."

"You are you, and your mother is your mother." Xu Xing interrupted her, holding her cheeks with both hands, tears falling on her white and tender face, and the pitiful smell stung Xu Xing's heart, "We can't decide

One’s own birth and parents, but the direction of life can be controlled in one’s own hands.”

"Jiujiu, now you've got it."

"I won't allow you to let go."

Yan Chijuan was forced to raise her face to look at him, pursed her lips, and there were salty tears on the corners of her lips.

Listening to what Xu Xing said, she nodded vigorously, feeling the sense of security that Xu Xing brought her, and couldn't help but raise her head and press her teardrop lips to his.
