"Life is a gift from God, I don't want to waste it. You will never know what the next card you get is. You have to learn to accept the accidents brought by life..."

In the dark cinema, the young Leonardo on the big screen spoke Chinese in a translator. 3D glasses covered Chen Nian's eyes.

A few hours ago,

Kitano quickly closed the roller shutter door, rushed to pull up the curtains, and turned around and asked, "What's going on?"

"Yesterday, they beat me, scolded me, took pictures and recorded videos when they took them.

She said, let me get it today.

I went to the back mountain, but she didn't give it to me. She showed it to me. She also said she wanted to go online. Many people recorded it, and it was useless to call the police. - She said she would not let me go. - There will be a second and third time yesterday... It is not enough. She threatened me and hit me. I resisted and pushed her... I knew I wanted to see her, and I brought a knife, thinking that if it would scare her to stop hitting me again. But she was not afraid, and I told her not to come over, but she didn't listen... She was pulling her together... in the grass, I didn't know what happened, I didn't think about anything, she really didn't think about it, she just...

I was wrong, I shouldn't have gone by myself."

But the series of things that happened since Hu Xiaodie made her no longer trust Zheng Yi and the others. She looked up at him, tears rolling in her eyes.

"I'm sorry, save me and send me to the police. I'm afraid of them and I dare not go by myself. I'm afraid my mother will know."

"Don't go." Kitano said.

“…”

"Why?" He had red eyes, "Why?!"

"Why give you to them? You have to ask them to analyze the photos and videos over and over again, ask you how you feel, ask whether you are too defensive or taking the opportunity to kill someone with grudge? Do you want to see the people who hurt you confront them again, and you want to have an entanglement with them and the group of parents? Do you still need an exam?"

“…”

Mom will know, knowing how inhumanly she has suffered, mother will cry.

After a brief loss of control, Kitano calmed down: "Are you sure she is dead?"

"..." She was stunned, and a few seconds later, she shook her head blankly, "I ran away immediately."

"I'll go and see it later. But no matter what, I'll talk about it after the exam. Give me a knife."

The blood dried up on the sharp knife. Kitano went over to grab it, and pulled it out of her hand.

"Take off your clothes," Kitano said.

Chen Nian didn't move.

Kitano took off her clothes and pulled her to the shower and flushed the water. The blood slowly spread out.

Kitano stuffed his clothes and shoes into the washing machine and saw his shirt. Chen Nian couldn't find a base T-shirt when he was dressing this morning. He found a shirt for her. He looked back at her and she stared at the wall.

He covered her sight with his back, pulled out his shirt, stuffed it into the washbasin drawer, but unexpectedly saw something his mother bought in the drawer.

"Tell me, you..." he carefully used the words, "Where did you hurt her?"

She shook her head: "...I forgot."

"How many times did you hurt her?"

“…I don’t remember.”

“How deep?”

"I don't know... I hate her. How much I wish she would disappear. But I didn't want her to die." She trembled, "Young people like them - why don't they be controlled... it shouldn't be like this... it shouldn't be..."

Kitano held her head tightly and stared at her, calming her down: "Did anyone see you on your way back?"

"No." Except for the alley at the other end of the courtyard wall, there are wasteland on all sides of the factory area.

"Where is her now?"

Chen Nian looked at him.

"I'll go and see, you're weak, maybe she's just injured. People don't die that easily." He was extremely calm.

"I'll be with you..."

"I'll go alone. If anything happens, I'll notify you."

"But……"

"No problem. Don't you believe me?"

"letter."

He stepped forward, suddenly grabbed her wet hair and brought her into his arms, lowered his head and pressed her tightly against her cheek.

Chen Nian's cell phone rang, and the two were shocked. Li Xiang called:

"Chen Nian, "Titanic" is re-released in 3D version. I have grabbed two tickets, do you want to watch it?"

"I... want to review." After saying that, Kitano frowned and shook his head.

Li Xiang advised: "It will be released after the college entrance examination. Such a classic movie will be difficult to see in the cinema in the future. Just think it's relaxing."

Kitano held Chen Nian's shoulder and told her to agree.

Chen Nian's lips trembled and she slowly shook her head. She was not a fool, he was too cautious, just in case he had started to create a proof of absence for her.

Li Xiang was still working hard on the phone: "Chen Nian, "Titanic" is so classic. You must also like it..."

In the narrow and simple bathroom, the lights were as dim as before. He and she looked at each other, and everyone knew what they thought. He held her shoulders tightly and nodded slowly and vigorously.

This movie is too long.

Chen Nian sat in the dark cinema, as if sitting in a grave. Finally, the ending came to the end. On the sea, JACK and ROSE grabbed the same driftwood for life-saving. The young man asked the woman to climb up and floated in the ice water himself.

Their shared future is like the cold nights of the Arctic Ocean, cold and dark.

"I love you."

"You dare to say it again!...Don't say goodbye."

"But I'm too cold."

"Listen, you will escape from here and escape safely; you will move forward and live... You will grow old and rest in the warm bed, not ending in this haunted place, not ending in tonight. Do you understand?"

"But I'm too cold and numb."

"Winning that boat ticket is the luckiest thing in my life; therefore I am very grateful to know you... Promise me to live and promise me that you will not give up... No matter what happens, no matter how desperate you are in, promise me that you will not give up, and don't forget your promise to me."

"I promise you."

Finally, the woman pushed away his hand and swam hard toward the light; the handsome man slowly sank into the Arctic Ocean and was swallowed by the darkness.

Walking out of the cinema, Li Xiang saw Chen Nian with red eyes.

"Are you crying?"

Chen Nian lowered her head and shook her head: "No."

"Girls are prone to being sad when watching movies like this." Li Xiang said, wanting to pat her shoulder to comfort her, and then shrank her hand back.

He swayed the paper bucket: "I didn't expect you to be so uneasy. Look, there is still a large bucket of popcorn left."

Chen Nian had no choice but to say: "I don't like snacks."

"No wonder you are so thin." He looked at his watch, "It's getting late, I'll take you home."

Shortly after Chen Nian returned home, storms followed one after another.

After waiting for a while, Kitano hadn't arrived yet.

She looked out her cell phone and wanted to call him, but unexpectedly found that Kitano was missing in the address book. While she was wondering and thinking, a knock on the door sounded.

Chen Nian was shocked, approached the door and heard him whisper: "It's me."

Chen Nian immediately opened the door and let him in. He was covered in wind and rain, and the water dripped on the ground along his raincoat.

She handed him a towel and asked, "How is she?"

"It should be fine," Kitano said.

"fine?"

"I went to the back mountain of your school, but I didn't see her after searching it all."

"Have you found the wrong place? I should have gone with you."

"No. I saw the blood. But she wasn't there."

Chen Nian was surprised: "You... didn't lie to me?"

"I won't lie to you. Really," he said. "There are very few blood, probably a slight stab. Now calm down and think about it. When you come back, there are very few blood on your clothes."

She looked at him in confusion and dependence.

"She shouldn't be seriously injured, she left by herself," Kitano said. "You don't know how many times you hurt her, whether it's deep. I think you're too nervous and want to be serious."

"Is that true?" Chen Nian frowned and said, "But... she will tell the police, she will..."

"No." Kitano wiped his hair, took off his raincoat and hung it on his clothes hook. "She had a lot of fights and was injured a lot. Where did she look for the police? Besides, tell the police that they bully and insulted you will be exposed. There are many of them, and some are still in school and will be fired. If you really tell the police, can you stand here now?"

Chen Nian said "Oh" and looked at him in a daze.

"Don't blame yourself." He whispered, "You're not as good as she's fighting her own."

She seemed a little confused. After a long time, she lowered her head and took out a mobile phone memory card from her bag.
