Edward, whose spine had been removed, sat paralyzed on the road of the North Second Ring Road like a mollusk. He no longer knew how to drink his beer.
However, her heart still ached. He had been wrong from the start. His dream of protecting his life had long been someone else's reality. And he had been protecting it day and night, rain or shine. Now, everything was broken. A beautiful dream shattered into marble-like balls, and then rolled into the bottomless darkness, making it impossible to find the wreckage of those broken dreams.
Memories of the scenes that they had walked through together had been blurred by tears. The past was no longer clear. Edward's first love was strangled to death on the gallows.
Time passed quickly, and it was already the next day.
Third Middle School, First Grade Class Five
"Why isn't Xiao Sen here today?" Liang Liang asked Xiao Shi anxiously.
"How would I know?" Xiao Shi was confused.
"Didn't he confess to Dai Mengni yesterday?”Little Shi reminded Leng Liang.
"The good thing must have been done. I don't know where that kid went.”He said coldly and evilly.
"Not necessarily. Dai Mengni doesn't look too good. She looks like she's been crying.”Little Shi objected.
"It can't be." Cold suspicion.
"No matter what, we'll just have to ask.”Xiao Shi suggested.
"That makes sense." Liang Liang agreed.
As they spoke, they walked over to Dai Mengni's desk. She was still as focused as usual as she read her study materials. She looked like a good student.
"Why isn't Xiao Sen here?" Liang Liang spoke first.
"How would I know?" Dai Mengni's words were as cold as ice, causing Xiao Shi and Liang Liang to be at a loss for words.
"Didn't he confess to you yesterday? Isn't this a pair of good things?" At this moment, Lil Shi was no longer as honest as he used to be, but more like a playboy.
Dai Mengni did not answer. Instead, a few tears fell on the book she was reading. The mathematics book that was filled with formulas was instantly wet and very eye-catching.
At a glance, Liang Liang knew that things had changed. It was not what they had imagined.
"What happened to you guys?" He asked Dai Mengni coldly.
However, Dai Mengni only cried silently and did not answer his question.
Leng Liang became even more anxious when she saw Dai Mengni's silence." Say something, why didn't Xiao Sen come today?"”His voice naturally grew louder with Leng Liang's anxiety.
However, Dai Mengni did not answer. Instead, she covered her head and cried even harder. This attracted the attention of many students.
Leng Liang didn't give in to Dai Mengni, who was sobbing. He realized that something big had happened. He knew how deep Edward's feelings for Damoni were. If anything happened to this relationship, he was afraid that Edward would do something stupid.
"Don't cry. What's wrong?”His cold voice grew louder.
Dai Mengni still didn't answer, but someone else's answer pushed the story to a new height.
"Liang Ziwen, don't force her. I'll tell you the answer.”The one who spoke was Gao Fengliang. His sudden words shocked everyone, including Liang Liang and Xiao Shi.
"You know." Liang Liang stared at Gao Fengliang and knew that things weren't as simple as they seemed.
"Dai Mengni is my girlfriend now. You'd better stay away from her. I won't let anyone hurt her.”Gao Fengliang's words were like a time bomb that exploded in the pentagon. It immediately attracted everyone's attention. For a time, in the peaceful first grade class five, such explosive news was revealed.
Leng Liang could not believe her ears." What do you mean she's your girlfriend? What about Xiao Sen?"”He asked Gao Fengliang with a doubtful tone. He did not believe that all of this was true.
" Yes, from June 7th onwards, this woman will be my girlfriend. She is the most important person in my life. I will protect her with my life and never let her get hurt again…" Gao Fengliang gave a long speech and vowed to Dai Mengni in front of all the students. Everyone was shocked. No one would have thought that Gao Fengliang, who had always been a good student, would become so crazy today.
However, Liang Liang and Xiao Shi were still a little confused." Brother, is what you said true? Are you crazy?" Liang Liang still asked Gao Fengliang with suspicion.
"I am very clear-headed. All of this is the naked truth.”Gao Fengliang's tone was firm, without a trace of joking.
Liang Liang believed everything, but he couldn't accept it.
"Brother, are you crazy? Do you know what you are doing now? The woman in front of you is our brother, our brother-in-law, Xiao Sen, a woman who is willing to give up her life to love. What are you saying? How dare you say that she is your girlfriend?”Liang Liang lowered her voice and asked Gao Fengliang word by word.
"I'm not crazy. I know what I'm doing. You all know that Edward loves Damoni, but do you know how much I love her? I can still give up everything for her. When school started, we fell in love at first sight and fell in love with each other. However, because of Xiao Sen, we didn't say anything. When he really chased after Dai Mengni like crazy, did he even consider my feelings? Is he worthy of me?" Gao Fengliang also asked Leng Liang word by word.
"I don't know who's right or wrong, but I know that without this woman, Xiao Sen can't live.”His cold voice had obviously become much louder.
"What about me? If I leave her, can I live? You keep calling me brother, but have you ever treated me as a brother in your heart? What would your attitude be like if I were to be Xiao Sen today? You would say that all of this was taken for granted. Then, you would open the champagne and hold a banquet to celebrate this new love. Who would care about me, who was hiding in a corner and licking my wounds alone? I can't be compared to you. I'm poor, I'm very poor. I'm so poor that I have nothing but this feeling. Are you going to take it away? Is this what brothers are like?" Gao Fengliang's words were like knives, stabbing into Leng Liang's heart.
"We don't treat you as a brother. We've gone through so many ups and downs together. We've supported each other for a year.”Leng Liang asked Gao Fengliang painfully.
"Don't tell me this. I'm just a companion for you two rich kids to pass the time. There will always be a watershed between the two of us.”Gao Fengliang attacked again.
"It's because we're rich and you're poor. It's because a little money can separate our feelings. I've used Old Liang's money a few times. Besides, I didn't make you poor. Don't always use money to measure everything.”Liang Liang calmly persuaded Gao Fengliang. In his eyes, Gao Fengliang's vanity was getting more and more serious.
"What?" Gao Fengliang seemed to be even angrier." The whole world can say that I made you poor, but you have no right to say that.”
All the students were watching their argument. Even Little Shi could not get a word in. On the other hand, Dai Mengni was crying even harder. She did not want to continue arguing with him. He was worried about Edward and was not in the mood to discuss money with him.
"Alright, alright, I won't argue with you anymore.”After saying this, Leng Liang turned around and was about to leave.
"Where are you going?" Xiao Shi called out to him.
"I'm going to take a look at Xiao Sen, don't let anything happen.”Liang Liang answered as she walked.
"I'll go with you." Xiao Shi had to skip class for Edward. They were both poor, which was the difference between him and Gao Fengliang.
"Don't go, or else Miejue will find trouble with you again. When Sophie comes, tell her that I'm leaving first.”After saying that, he left coldly.
Looking at Dai Mengni who was crying and Gao Fengliang who was speaking with conviction, Xiao Shi sighed and returned to his seat.
Liang Liang went to Edward's house and knocked on the door for a long time without any response. Liang Liang knew that he was not at home. After leaving his neighborhood, he searched all the places where Edward usually went, including Cold and Cold Casserole House, North Second Ring Road, Diamond, and Tianci, but he still couldn't find him.
It was already noon…
He was exhausted from the heat of the scorching sun. He slumped in the shade at the entrance of Edward's house, sweat dripping down his forehead. Of course, it was the result of the heat and anxiety. If he couldn't find him soon, he would call the police. He was worried now, really afraid that Edward would take things too hard.
Worried, an old lady walked out of his sight. She didn't look young, but she didn't look old at all. She looked full of energy.
"Young man." Liang Liang heard a shout.
He looked around and there was no one else.”Leng Liang asked politely.
"Right, is your name cool?”The old man spoke again.
" Yes, but how do you know me?" Liang Liang was very curious.”
"Oh, it was a young man who told me this morning. He said that someone called Liang Liang must have come to see him today.”The old man's words were very gentle.
After saying that, he was very excited. He knew that this young man was Edward.”Liang Liang asked anxiously.
"He's home. He said that it's good that you don't worry about him. He's just very annoyed and misses Grandpa and Grandma.”the old lady said calmly.
"He didn't say when he would be back.”Liang Liang asked anxiously.
"I didn't say that." The old man was also very helpless.
Then…
Although Liang Liang was anxious, he wasn't too worried. After all, he knew that he was going. When people were injured, they would think of home. Perhaps they would come back after recuperating at home. Liang Liang knew that no one could save Edward now. The only thing that could save him was time. Time could erase all pain.
Just like that, time passed bit by bit in the days without Edward. Without Edward, Leng Liang and Xiao Shi felt that their sky was the same, dark without the sun. Gao Fengliang and Liang Liang were still at odds because of Edward's departure. He and Dai Mengni were also openly together despite everyone's disapproval. Xiao Shi naturally chose to stand on Liang Liang's side. Although Gao Fengliang won love, he lost all his friends.
The week ended painfully, but on Friday morning, Liang Liang and Xiao Shi heard a piece of fatal news-Edward had transferred schools.
When Extinction announced this news, his heart was completely broken.
In Edward's neighborhood, everything was still the same, but the people had changed. They rarely laughed when they were here, and they left behind so many memories. Everything here had the scars of their youth. But now, only these scratches were left, and the one who left was a person who valued friendship.
