That's why he turned around and shouted as if it was a matter of course when he was driven away by Chen Xiaoyue, blurting out such words as a threat.

Chen Xiaoyue's lips trembled.

Why must I endure all this and follow what the world calls morality and right?

He will never be able to change for the better. The bewitching voice in her head rang out again, like a poisonous snake hissing in her ear. That man will always be hypocritical, cunning, and will only evade responsibility for his entire life.

Such people will only make their food more expensive if they stay in this world.

So why let him continue to live and cling to himself to suck blood?

Correct……

You're right, she thought.

Before she knew it, Chen Xiaoyue had already walked towards the ward.

Her clothes were inconspicuous and she kept her head down, so she walked in without attracting any attention.

This seemed simple, and went much more smoothly than she had imagined.

The medicine was placed on the table closest to the door. After walking a few steps inside, she could even clearly see the small words on the medicine box.

The only patient in the room was lying on the bed, snoring heavily, with no sign of waking up.

No one will find out.

It’s so close that I can touch it with just my hand.

The tension made her heart beat faster, and the sounds around her seemed to disappear. Chen Xiaoyue clenched her teeth, but her fingertips trembled unconsciously.

And then, he was caught.

Just as her fingertips were about to touch the medicine box, her wrist was tightly grasped by someone.

My hand was held very tightly, like an iron clamp, and I couldn't pull it free even if I instinctively wanted to struggle.

Her mind went blank for a moment and she was extremely panicked, but she still tried to remain calm and wanted to say something. However, the voice behind her made her feel like she was falling into an ice cave.

It was as if fate had pronounced its verdict on her.

"...A-Chen."

Xiao Niao stood behind her, calling her name in the way she was most accustomed to and familiar with.

The voice was a little tired from staying up late, making her

The flames boiling in his chest cooled down in an instant.

Chen Xiaoyue could almost hear a hint of disappointment in these two words.

Just like now, the teacher held her hand so tightly, so hard that it hurt, but even so there was no sign of letting go.

She might be able to judge from this that Xiao Niao had witnessed everything that had happened before.

Neither of them spoke.

The silence in the room seemed to solidify into a solid entity, expanding and occupying all the space, gradually becoming unbearable.

Chen Xiaoyue's face gradually turned pale. She didn't dare to think too deeply about the meaning of this silence.

If it were anyone else, she might have been able to organize her words, or even pretend nothing had happened, and just calmly walked out of the room.

But when she was being stared at by Xiao Niao, she had no intention of lying at all.

This was not just because he didn't want to lie to the teacher, but also because Xiao Niao could almost always guess what she was thinking accurately.

Chen Xiaoyue even felt that the evil thoughts surging in the depths of her heart, like rolling black mud, had been exposed to the other party's gaze without any cover.

"Teacher," she licked her dry lips with difficulty, "I..."

Xiao Niao said nothing and asked nothing, but his grip on her arm loosened a little.

She didn't feel relieved at all, but became even more upset. The sour emotion in her chest made her heart ache, and her stomach felt heavy, as if a cold stone was stuffed into it.

If it weren't for the hand holding her that was still providing support, Chen Xiaoyue would probably have bent down immediately and hugged her knees tremblingly.

"Hey, what are you two doing standing in the aisle?" A nurse's voice came from the doorway. "Please move aside. This bed hasn't been made up yet."

She could feel the bird behind her sigh softly.

Feeling a warm touch on her back, Chen Xiaoyue raised her head somewhat bewilderedly, but Xiao Niao just pressed her into his arms again, and with a hint of coercion, he pulled her aside and made room for her in the aisle.

"I'm sorry, nurse," Xiao Niao smiled apologetically at the nurse, "This child went to the wrong ward. Sorry, sorry."

The nurse said "Oh" and didn't take it too seriously. She casually glanced at Chen Xiaoyue, who looked tense, then looked away and bent down to make the bed.

Xiao Niao took the opportunity to drag Chen Xiaoyue out of the ward.

The other person's steps were a little hurried, and she had just recovered from the fever, so she could not keep up.

Xiao Niao looked back, slowed down his walking, and loosened his hand.

Chen Xiaoyue lowered her head and followed the bird like a tail.

The temperature in the hospital corridor was lower than that in the ward. After walking a few steps, she felt that the heat she had brought out from the quilt had dissipated, and the damp cold extended from her ankles all the way to her waist.

The teacher didn't turn around to look at her again, as if she was really angry, and there was a sense of determination in her back as she walked forward.

She subconsciously tightened her clothes, and her heart felt slightly cold.

After returning to her original bed, Chen Xiaoyue saw the thermos on the bedside table - Xiaoniao came to see her with breakfast, and went out to look for her after discovering that she was not in the ward.

"Go put on your coat," Xiao Niao said as he lowered his head to turn on the thermos, "Don't catch a cold again."

The words were said without much emotion, with a touch of official business, more like an order.

Xiao Niao was concentrating on screwing the lid without looking to the side. After a while, he heard the sound of someone putting on clothes. It must be that the other person was doing what he was told.

The lid of the thermos seemed to be sucked in by the pressure and was a bit difficult to pull out. The bird even had its eyebrows twisted.

"teacher."

A faint sound came from the direction of the bed. Xiao Niao looked up and asked her what was wrong.

The curtains in the ward were half drawn, and the light was not very bright. The girl lowered her head, half of her face hidden in the shadows, her shoulders were tense and trembling imperceptibly.

"I'm sorry," she said.

When Xiao Niao noticed it, tears had already slid down the girl's cheeks and dripped onto her knees.

Her expression was a little strange, as if she was trying hard to control her emotions. After a moment, she finally gave up and tears fell uncontrollably.

Xiao Niao inexplicably felt as if the force had been released and stopped struggling with the broken lid.

She approached Chen Xiaoyue and asked with a stern face, "Why, are you finally crying because of your own stupidity?"

Somehow these words touched the girl's heart. She looked up at the bird with tears in her eyes, her face filled with a complex expression of grievance, pain and unwillingness.

Tears were still falling, making her words choke and intermittent.

"I'm sorry... I'm not... I'm not a good person... I'm not a good person..."

You are just as bad as your father - this was once the sentence Chen Xiaoyue hated the most, but at this moment, she couldn't help but think of it.

Perhaps the gossip those people said was not completely unfounded. Perhaps that man had indeed passed on his criminal genes to himself.

"I...I'm sorry..." She

My hands began to tremble, "Teacher..."

Xiao Niao blinked and didn't answer.

At this time, Chen Xiaoyue actually wanted to say sorry to Xiaoniao, teacher, I am not worthy of your care, please don’t care about me anymore.

This seems to be correct. She is not the kind of child who grew up in a healthy family. She has natural flaws in her character. Even if she tries hard to cover it up, she is no different from a monster in the eyes of normal people.

This may be the last one.

She tried hard to act more relaxed so as not to embarrass the teacher and to preserve the last bit of her self-respect.

But when the words were about to come out of her mouth, Chen Xiaoyue found that she couldn't do it. She couldn't say these words no matter what. She was afraid that Xiaoniao would really be disappointed in her and leave without looking back.

Chen Xiaoyue couldn't even say a word to ask her to stay, just like when her mother left, she ran out and chased her, shouting for a long time, but in the end her mother didn't come back.

She could only let herself cry in vain, her hands clenched tightly, her nails digging into her palms.

Xiao Niao had squatted down without him noticing, and there was a hint of helplessness in his voice: "Are you really crying? I haven't scolded you yet..."

Chen Xiaoyue didn't say anything, but just bit her lips and shed tears silently.

"Okay,"

Xiao Niao put on a relaxed look. She took a tissue from the table and wiped Chen Xiaoyue's crying face.

"If I didn't care about you, I would have thrown you into the hallway and burned you into a fool," she said, hitting him lightly. "You're so stupid. You're really getting worse as you get older."

"teacher……"

"You don't need to explain anything," Xiao Niao shook his head at her, "Ah Chen, listen carefully."

"You are only nineteen years old this year. Do you know what nineteen means?"

Xiao Niao looked into her eyes and said slowly, "You can still go to school, you can fall in love, you can try your favorite career - your life is still completely unknown, Xiaoyue, you don't even know how beautiful you are."

Chen Xiaoyue's voice was hoarse. She said, "But I just wanted to..."

"That's normal," Xiao Niao said, "If I had a father like you, I would also want to poison him to death."

Chen Xiaoyue: “…”

The teacher really loves to do things unconventionally like this...

"Your father is a scumbag, but you can't ruin your future life for him," Xiao Niao said. "His life is just like this, but you still have unlimited possibilities in the future."

"You had a hard time as a child, and your teachers all know it."

She had to wipe away the tears that were flowing more and more heavily on Chen Xiaoyue's face with her hands and tried her best to calm her down.

"But your suffering is almost over, while Chen Zhengkang's suffering in this life has just begun."

"That's why you mustn't ruin yourself because of him," Xiao Niao said. "I want you to promise me that you will never go down that wrong path."

The room was quiet for a while.

Then, Chen Xiaoyue assured Xiaoniao in a very low voice.

"That's good," Xiao Niao gently held her cold fingertips, as if wanting her to feel the warmth of his palm, "You are an amazing person, and you have grown up well on your own."

"The teacher believes in you."

This is actually a quite incredible thing in Xiaoniao's eyes. Despite the bumps and bruises, Chen Xiaoyue has never gone astray, but has always been working hard to explore the right path.

There is no self-degradation, nor any harm to others.

She knew that it was harder to walk the right path than the wrong one, so people who walked the right path were always more remarkable than those who walked the wrong path.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Niao added, "Well...if you end up like your father, I'll come and clean up the mess myself."

These words made Chen Xiaoyue stunned for a moment. After a long time, she slowly and awkwardly held Xiaoniao's hand.

The teacher did not give up on her, nor did she really abandon her - the sudden sense of happiness overwhelmed her, making her a little dazed.

“…Okay,” she sobbed softly, trying hard to pronounce each word clearly, “Then when the time comes, the teacher will come and take me to jail…”

Chen Xiaoyue spoke very seriously.

She really felt that if she did something wrong, being caught and punished by the teacher personally was actually a kind of happiness.

If the person who came to catch her was a bird, she might not choose to resist.

This can be regarded as a very beautiful memory in her life. The little hope that sprouted during her most depressed and lowest period is destined to become a treasure hidden deep in her heart. Whenever she thinks of it, she will regain her courage.

But she didn't understand at that time that the time spent with anyone was limited.

Even if she feels that the good times before her can last forever, one day, they will end.

"Dead, dead..."

Cat number four's ears snapped back, and his face had the expression of a frightened seal.
