The lion in the circus has been locked in a cage since it was born.Even if one day it grows taller than the trainer who tamed it,the fear in its memory is hard to erase.When it sees the familiar whip,it will still involuntarily kneel down and tremble all over.
At this moment,I returned to the familiar front door of my house.The lights inside the house were on brightly.The man's intense laughter and the sound of wine bottles breaking from time to time were like the lion's whip,making my blood run cold and almost dehydrating me.
My face turned pale as a sheet.I leaned on Little Fox's shoulder and turned to leave,but he firmly held me down and his words were beyond doubt.
He placed his hand on my head,leaned close to my ear,and gently said,
"You just stay here and watch.I'll take care of the rest."
I looked at the determination in his eyes,and the uneasiness in my heart gradually disappeared.
I offered to go in and see my father.I knew he hated me so much and was always drunk and out of his mind,so he would definitely beat me up severely.I suggested that Little Fox just record the evidence outside,but he rejected my idea.
He glanced down,and I knew he was hinting at me that my wrist couldn't withstand my father's punches.
He said it would be better if he pretended to be my classmate,told my father that I had already dropped out of school and moved to another place,and said some words to provoke him.When my father got angry,he would definitely attack him.
I was a bit hesitant because he looked a bit...
"What's wrong?Are you worried about me?I have eight-pack abs!"As he said that,he took my hand and placed it on his chest.
I was startled,and my tongue got tied up again.I quickly pushed him inside.
He smiled faintly,exuding a bit of a ruffian charm,and then opened the door with the key and went in.
What happened next completely exceeded my expectations.
After he went in,there was a fierce argument in the room,followed by the sound of all kinds of things being broken.Finally,a fire broke out,making the whole room brighter than during the day.
Everything happened so suddenly and unexpectedly.
I stood there with my mouth open,looking dazed and at a loss.
You've got to be kidding me...
I wanted to shout for help, but my throat seemed to be hoarse.Warm liquid flowed out of the corners of my eyes unconsciously.I knelt down on the ground weakly and crawled forward with my hands clutching the floor.
"Little,Little Fox,Little Fox!"
I cried while desperately grabbing and shaking the metal handrail with my trembling hands.The scorching heat burned off a layer of skin on my palm.
"No,it can't be like this,no..."
My heart was filled with despair and regret at this moment.I started hitting the door with my body.Tears welled up in my eyes and streamed down my face.
"Hey!"
When Little Fox nimbly climbed out of the bathroom window,he saw me with a distorted expression,my eyes wide open,hitting the door like a crazy person.He called me several times,but I didn't hear him.
I turned around and looked at him.The heart-wrenching screams came from inside the room.That was my father's final wail.
Little Fox's face was injured.There was a red and swollen patch on his cheek.He blankly looked at the room and then at me,who was in a state of shock.
The house might explode,so he quickly supported my waist and lifted my weak body,carrying me away from the door.
When we reached downstairs,he slowly put me down.
I nestled in his arms, still looking dazed and in shock.
I almost lost him.
His voice was a bit shaky,but his expression was still calm.In his dark pupils were the blazing fire and my disheartened figure.
He felt me shivering,so he immediately took off his coat and draped it over me.Thinking that I was afraid that he had killed someone,he didn't dare to hug me tightly.He stammered and explained,
"I didn't set the fire.It was him...Don't be afraid.I didn't kill anyone,and I won't kill you either.I..."
I suddenly hugged him and covered his mouth with mine.He was stunned,but this time he quickly reacted.He held the back of my head with both hands and deepened the kiss.
His eyes gradually became burning hot,like two burning sparks.Being stared at by these passionate eyes,my face couldn't help but turn slightly red,and then I closed my eyes.
