Chapter 040 Beautiful Girlfriend
The two came out of the store and Xu Chengcheng took him there.
"Is this the school you go to?" Xu Lai saw a middle school next to the Weiwei milk tea shop.
"Yes, Dinghai No. 4 Middle School." Xu Chengcheng said.
"This school is good." Xu Lai nodded.
On the way, Xu Chengcheng explained the matter again in detail.
It turned out that the girl who wanted to commit suicide was a classmate of Xu Chengcheng. Her name was Qi Cheng. She was a very beautiful girl and was very popular in No. 4 Middle School.
However, Xu Chengcheng is a gentle and introverted person. She is usually close to her two best friends Gao Wen and Tian Tian, but not to Qi Cheng. Today is the weekend. After she went out to watch a movie with her two best friends, she remembered that she had left something in the classroom, so she went back to school.
By coincidence, when the three of them were passing by a small forest next to the school playground, they accidentally found a person lying in the grass.
There was a girl named Tian Tian among the three of them. When the girl saw it, she ran over in a hurry, and then found that it was Qi Cheng who was cutting his wrists.
Fortunately, they arrived in time. Tian Tian had a loud voice, and when she rushed forward, she scared Qi Cheng. His hand shook, and he didn't cut his wrist, but got a cut on his arm.
Xu Chengcheng and the others originally wanted to send Qi Cheng to the hospital, but the girl refused to go no matter what. She broke down emotionally, started crying and said she couldn't live anymore, and wanted to grab the knife to have more cutting done. But Tian Tian pushed her to the ground.
The three of them coaxed Qi Cheng into calming down for a long time before finally calming him down. They then asked him about the whole story.
This was mainly due to Xu Chengcheng. Although this girl seemed gentle and introverted, she was actually very smart and looked harmless, which made people feel at ease. Finally, Qi Cheng told .
Qi Cheng said that since more than two months ago, every night after she fell asleep, she would dream of a person pressing her down on the bed and bullying and torturing her in various ways.
Although this girl is pretty and popular in school, she has been brought up in a strict family and has not had much contact with the opposite sex. She has no idea why this is the case.
This went on for more than a month, almost every night, and it almost drove her to collapse.
But she suddenly stopped having this dream more than half a month ago. She thought the disaster was over and was feeling very lucky, but a few days ago, she started having this dream again.
Moreover, the man in the dream became more and more violent, even whipping her with a whip, leaving her covered with bruises. However, after waking up, her body was intact, but the fear and pain were deeply imprinted in her mind, almost making her collapse.
Finally, she couldn't help but tell her parents about it. As a result, her parents took her to the hospital, who said that there was nothing wrong with her body and thought it was probably caused by too much pressure from studying.
Qi Cheng said that was definitely not the case, but no one believed her.
Until last night, she endured for a long time and finally couldn't help but fell asleep in a daze. As a result, in her dream, the man came and tortured her severely again. He also warned her that if she dared to talk nonsense to others again, he would be rude to her.
So the girl finally broke down completely, and ran to the woods in the school early in the morning, ready to commit suicide by cutting her wrists.
After hearing what she said, Xu Chengcheng told her about her own experience and comforted her that there must be a way. Then she asked Gao Wen and Tian Tian to take Qi Cheng back to the house that Gao Wen rented here, and she ran to find Xu Lai.
"That thing later went back to find Qi Cheng. Was it because I brought the amulet?" Xu Chengcheng asked somewhat frustratedly. This girl was smart and as soon as she heard Qi Cheng's description of the process, she roughly understood the twists and turns.
The reason why Qi Cheng hadn't had that kind of dream for more than half a month was probably because that thing came to find her. Later, she wore the amulet, and that thing couldn't get close to her anymore, so it went back to find Qi Cheng.
Xu Lai comforted him: "What does this have to do with you?"
But Xu Chengcheng was still unhappy.
The house Gao Wen rented was near Dinghai No. 4 Middle School, so they had already arrived while they were talking. The house was a small high-rise building with six floors and no elevator, so they climbed the stairs to the third floor.
Xu Chengcheng went over and knocked on the door, and someone inside called out, "Who is it?"
I didn't need to look, I knew it was Tian Tian as soon as I heard the loud voice. Xu Chengcheng replied, "It's me," and the door opened.
"Cheng Cheng, you finally... Hey, why are you here, you bad guy!" Tian Tian was very happy to see Xu Chengcheng, but when she suddenly saw Xu Lai following behind her, she immediately became alert.
"Don't talk nonsense." Xu Chengcheng hurriedly pushed Tian Tian in. Xu Lai followed her into the house and saw that it was a one-bedroom rental house, which was quite clean.
There were two other girls, one of whom was tall and thin with freckles on her nose. He had seen her at Pei's house last night. She must be Xu Chengcheng's other best friend, Gao Wen.
There is also a girl with fair skin and beautiful looks but haggard expression and red and swollen eyes from crying. She should be Qi Cheng.
"Let's eat first." Xu Lai put the packed food on the table.
Gao Wen glanced at him, quickly pulled Xu Chengcheng aside, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with you? Why did you bring him here?"
Tian Tian also came over and said in a low voice: "That's right, why did you bring this bad guy here?" But with her loud voice, even if she was whispering, it would be no different from the sound of normal human speech.
She spoke in a low voice, and not only Xu Lai, but even Qi Cheng, who was curled up on the bed in a daze, could hear it clearly.
"Cheng Cheng, I saw something wrong with you last night. You were staring at that guy with a crazy look on your face. What's wrong with you?" Gao Wen asked with a stern face.
Xu Chengcheng felt embarrassed and anxious when she heard this. She was afraid that Xu Lai would get angry, so she pushed her two girlfriends and said, "What are you talking about? He is my brother!"
"How can your brother...your brother?" Gao Wen was slow to react. She looked Xu Chengcheng up and down in surprise and reached out to touch her forehead . "You don't have a fever, do you? Where did your brother come from?"
The three of them have been good friends since junior high school. Although Xu Chengcheng is a gentle and low-key girl who never lets her family members pick her up from school and usually eats and dresses simply, no one in the school knows her family background.
Gao Wen and Tian Tian never asked, and Xu Chengcheng naturally wouldn't say it on her own initiative, but they knew very well who were in her family, such as her brothers, sisters, and so on.
"He's my cousin." Xu Chengcheng said.
"Cousin, you don't have one either!" As far as Gao Wen knew, she only had an older cousin and a younger cousin.
"Well, I'll explain it to you later. Let's go eat!" Xu Chengcheng knew that Xu Lai was still watching, so she quickly pushed her two girlfriends over to eat.
Then she came up to Xu Lai with a blushing face and called out softly, "Brother, don't listen to what they say." Her voice was soft and thin.
When Xu Lai heard her call him "brother", he felt a sudden pang of pain in his heart, but he was also relieved. He smiled and said, "Go and see Qi Cheng."
"Yeah!" Xu Chengcheng responded and led Xu Lai to the bedside.
"Qi Cheng, this is my brother. Don't be afraid. He can definitely help you." Xu Chengcheng went over and took Qi Cheng's hand and said.
Qi Cheng glanced at Xu Lai, lowered his head and said nothing.
"Who of you bandaged this?" Xu Lai said after taking a look at the gauze wrapped around Qi Cheng's arm.
"Is it Wenwen? Is it not wrapped well?" Xu Chengcheng asked a little worriedly. Gao Wen, who was eating over there, also pricked up her ears.
"It's well wrapped." Xu Lai praised: "Xiao Qi hasn't eaten for two days, right?"
"Ah?" Qi Cheng was stunned for a moment before realizing that he was calling her. He asked in surprise, "How did you know?"
She had indeed not eaten since the night before and had been hungry for almost two days.
"Haha, let's go eat quickly. You can talk about this little thing while eating." Xu Lai said with a smile.
A small matter? Qi Cheng couldn't help but grumble in his heart when he heard him say it lightly, but because of this, he felt much more at ease.
In fact, Xu Lai looks somewhat similar to Xu Chengcheng. Both the brother and sister have soft features and gentle temperaments, which makes it difficult for people to feel resistance towards them.
"Yes, Qi Cheng, let's eat first." Xu Chengcheng was also smart and hurriedly pulled Qi Cheng up. Tian Tian had already pulled a chair for her, and Gao Wen handed the meal to her.
Qi Cheng mustered up the courage to cut her wrists today, but that was because she was really forced to collapse these days. At this time, she was comforted by the three girls, and Xu Chengcheng also called Xu Lai. She thought that there might be hope for her case, and she felt much better immediately. She just felt her stomach growling with hunger, so she quickly picked up the lunch box and took a bite.
Xu Lai was not in a hurry to talk about anything. He just waited for the girls to finish eating. Xu Chengcheng went downstairs to buy some water and brought it up.
Qi Cheng washed his face and tied his hair up again. He looked much more energetic. He looked at Xu Lai and asked nervously, "Brother Cheng Cheng, do you... do you still have the amulet?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she looked at Xu Lai nervously, her hands clutching the corners of her clothes tightly. Xu Chengcheng and the others were also worried, fearing that Xu Lai would say no.
"It's gone. There is only one amulet." Xu said.
"Oh." Qi Cheng's eyes dimmed and her face turned pale. She had originally hoped that Xu Lai still had a talisman that could protect her, but now everything was over.
Gao Wen and Tian Tian were also very disappointed, but Xu Chengcheng was still full of confidence in Xu Lai. Since he came in person, there must be a way.
"It's okay, let's just catch that guy." Xu said.
"Ah?" The four girls were stunned.
"You said it was done by a human?" Gao Wen was still the smartest one among them and quickly grasped the key.
"Of course." Xu said.
The four girls looked at each other, and they all found it hard to believe. Especially Xu Chengcheng and Qi Cheng, who had experienced this incident themselves, they always believed that it was caused by something unclean, just like the ghost pressing on the body that people often hear people talk about.
