Chapter 2 Desire
Chapter 2:
It was early in the morning, the morning light was rising in the east, and the fog was thick. The sky and the earth were shrouded in a white mist, making it difficult to see clearly.
When Li Wenyu entered the classroom, there were only a few people inside. He always came early and went to sit by the window. His deskmate arrived within two minutes.
"New scarf?" Yang Cheng walked over casually with his school uniform jacket draped in his arms.
Boys generally don't care too much about what they wear, but Li Wenyu's scarf is white and doesn't look like something a boy would wear. What's more, he was indeed afraid of the cold. Almost half of his face was buried in it, only a pair of eyes with slightly raised corners were exposed, which was different from usual. Only then did Yang Cheng pay a little attention.
Li Wenyu looked up at him: "Well, why are you here so early today?"
Yang Cheng smoothed his messy hair and sat down: "I stayed up all night playing games last night. I'll catch up on some sleep later."
Li Wenyu Yu smiled and said no more. There were more and more people in the classroom, and he continued to work on the papers he had not finished yesterday.
The classmate at the front desk turned around and was confused: "Huh? Didn't the teacher say that you don't need to do this paper and let you concentrate on preparing for the competition?"
Li Wenyu raised his head and was stunned for a moment: "I kind of forgot."
He still has some doubts from last night to now. I feel restless and just want to find something to do for myself.
The person at the front desk chuckled: "Since you've done it, don't waste it. Give me a copy."
Li Wen hummed, took out the last blank paper and handed it to him.
There is an evergreen tree outside the classroom window. It does not seem to be growing very well. Although it is still green, its leaves are falling rustlingly in the wind. A little bit of light golden sunlight leaked from the branches and leaves, swaying from side to side, and by the time it completely disappeared, the sky was slowly getting dark.
Li Wenyu went to the class teacher's office before his last class. When he came back, the teacher had not yet entered the classroom.
Yang Cheng was sleeping on the table, his whole body buried in his school uniform. He raised his head slightly when he heard the sound of his return. His face was full of confusion as if he hadn't woken up yet, and a few words rolled out of his throat: "Someone just came to see you. You, you're not here."
Li Wenyu was still thinking about what the head teacher said about the competition, so he pulled up his chair and sat down and said casually: "
It seems to be called Chen, I didn't hear it clearly," Yang Cheng was indeed very worried. He was sleepy, and his eyes were covered with gray. "It seems like the guy from Class 8 said he wanted to see you for something, but he didn't even tell me when I asked him."
Class 8, it was Chen Bai.
Li Wenyu was suddenly startled, and his heart that had calmed down was lifted again.
Thinking of Chen Bai's bruised and gray face, he couldn't help but start to feel a little scared. When he thought about the possibility of being entangled by that group of people, he didn't even want to attend the last class and wanted to go home now.
However, as soon as I took a step back, the teacher walked into the classroom.
The originally noisy surroundings suddenly became quiet and orderly, leaving only Li Wenyu standing there. He pulled the chair closer with stiff movements, and slowly sat down under the teacher's surprised look.
Li Wenyu watched the teacher's hands open and close, turn around and then turn around again without stopping, but he didn't listen to a word.
When the bell rang, he took off his school uniform and walked out without taking anything.
The sky was already very dark, and fine snowflakes were swirling and flying down. The sky was dark, the clouds hung low and heavy, making people feel depressed.
Li Wenyu deliberately changed to a road he had never walked before. There was no bus station on this road, but there were many communities gathered on this road, so there were not many students.
He walked quickly, taking out his mobile phone and asking for leave from the game arcade as he walked.
He didn't really want to go to work these days, so it would be safer to go home as soon as school was over. He really didn't want to run into that group of people.
There are trees with withered leaves and bare leaves on both sides of the old path. At the corner there is an unattended parking garage that has been in disrepair and even the door is covered with a thin layer of dust. After Li Wenyu sent the text message asking for leave, he put his phone back into his pocket and quickened his pace.
As he passed the parking garage, he suddenly heard someone calling his name. Before he could look back, a hand suddenly grabbed his back and pushed him hard into the parking garage.
Li Wenyu's figure crooked, and he took several steps back before he could barely stand still. The friction under his feet raised a thick layer of dust, which entered his nose and triggered an unstoppable cough.
He coughed and looked up. Eight or nine people in school uniforms gathered in front of him, blocking the exit. The parking garage was dark, but he could recognize that several of the faces were the same people who were in the alley yesterday.
Li Wenyu coughed and his face turned red. He frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"
One of them took two steps forward. He had a very short shaved head and dark skin, which completely blocked Li Wenyu. The light in front of him said in a joking and cruel tone: "What do you think?"
Li Wenyu stared at him and took a step back.
Cun Tou asked again, "Do you know me?"
Li Wenyu's heart was beating fast, but his voice was trying to be calm. He shook his head and said, "Don't know me."
"Don't know me?" The person in front of him smiled evilly and repeated his words. , grabbed a person from behind and pushed him out, "But he knows you."
Chen Bai was pushed to the ground all of a sudden, his body and the schoolbag behind him were shaking, his face was pale and he did not dare to look up.
Li Wenyu's heart suddenly sank. It was Chen Bai who told them.
Seeing that Chen Bai was silent for a long time, he raised his head and started to kick, but suddenly stopped.
A man walked in at the door. He was not wearing a school uniform and was wearing a black flight jacket. After others made way for him, light flooded into the parking garage. Li Wenyu slowly saw his face clearly.
The young man has a very eye-catching face, with sharp features and deep eyebrows. There is a hint of vindictiveness in his frivolity, and his pupils are black and white, but very dark.
Li Wenyu had met this man, his name was Pei Xin, and he was a famous figure in the school. With his good looks and conspicuous family background, he attracted the attention of many girls inside and outside the school. The people around him came and went, and there was never a repeat. Even students like Li Wenyu who never heard what was going on outside the window could hear this. Gossip news.
Li Wenyu unconsciously took another step back, his breathing still a little rough.
Pei Xin didn't look at him and walked next to Chen Bai.
The moment Chen Bai saw him, he immediately climbed up from the ground, trembling, and knelt down. His posture was extremely upright, but his head was still lowered. He didn't know whether it was because he was too afraid to look at Pei Xin or because he was too guilty to look at Li Wenyu.
Pei Xin leaned over and patted his face, his movements were very slow, and there seemed to be a smile at the corner of his mouth: "Why don't you speak?"
Chen Bai trembled even more, and murmured in a low voice, as if he was talking to himself. Said: "I...I was wrong, let me go."
Pei Xin sneered and stood up, raised his foot and stepped on Chen Bai's straight left leg, raised his chin and looked at Li Wenyu, He said in a commanding tone: "I want you to talk to him."
Chen Bai let out a cry of pain, suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Wenyu, with pleading and fear in his eyes: "Li... Li Wenyu, please kneel down too , Kneel down..."
Li Wenyu opened his eyes wide. The Chen Bai he saw on the podium not long ago was gentle and polite, with a calm look and demeanor but high spirits. It was completely impossible to be like this.
He pursed his lips tightly in disbelief: "What are you talking about? Do you want me to kneel down too?"
Pei Xin's feet suddenly exerted force, and Chen Bai screamed in pain again, pleading without thinking: "Kneel down, please. ”
Li Wenyu couldn't bear to look at Chen Bai anymore, and looked up at the people at the door. They had tightly surrounded the exit again, so he couldn't escape.
"What are you looking at! Do you want to run away? Why didn't you call the police? Didn't you call the police yesterday!" The eyes of the man with a short head were squinting with light.
Li Wenyu shook his head: "I didn't call the police, and I won't call the police. Let me go."
As if he heard something funny, Cuntou laughed and took a few steps forward: "Okay, you kneel down and give me How about we, Brother Pei, kowtow and let you go?"
Li Wenyu had debris piled behind him and there was no way to retreat. He held on to the wall made of debris to stand still, but the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang. He was stunned for a second and guessed that it should be a call from the owner of the game arcade to inquire about the situation.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were looking at the pockets of his coat. Li Wenyu clenched his fists and rushed towards the gap next to Cun Tou. His feet brought up a burst of dust, but he couldn't even take a breath and rushed towards it. He opened a hole in front of those people.
"Hold him down!"
Li Wenyu had nothing on him. He didn't even carry a schoolbag because he was in a hurry to go home. In a panic, he had to pull off the scarf around his neck and throw it at the faces of those people, trying to escape even for a second. Clock's time to escape.
But it didn't have much effect. There were too many people. Li Wenyu couldn't escape from the hands of seven or eight people even with his hands and feet, and he was quickly pinned down.
He received a kick on his calf. The sole of the man's shoe was too hard and the kick made his knees weak. The collar at the back of his neck was pulled hard and his whole body was pressed against the wall.
Li Wenyu struggled hard, but the shackles on the back of his neck did not move at all. Another punch fell on his back. He gasped in pain and gritted his teeth and roared: "What on earth are you going to do!"
His face was pressed against the wall. He couldn't see anything, only heard a low laugh, like Pei Xin's voice. It was very casual and scornful. He didn't know who he was saying to: "If you ask him to kneel down, I will let you go."
Chen Bai listened . , the gray eyes suddenly emitted a little light, and he couldn't wait to raise his head to look at Pei Xin's smiling expression, as if he was exploring whether this joke-like promise was true or false.
But whether it was true or not, he would try as long as there was a glimmer of hope to escape from here.
Chen Bai slowly got up from the ground and limped behind Li Wenyu. The person holding Li Wenyu's collar let go, and the crowd laughed a few times with obvious derision, obviously waiting to see the fun.
Li Wenyu turned around, his eyes still clear. He looked at Chen Bai's scarred face, and he didn't know if he was annoyed or angry: "Why are you afraid of them, why don't you call the police?"
Chen Bai's lips twitched twice, what? Without saying anything, the next second he raised his leg and kicked Li Wenyu hard on the knee.
He used all his strength with this kick. Li Wenyu was unprepared and could not stand immediately. He fell forward and his left knee hit the ground hard, shaking violently.
Li Wenyu hunched over and held his knees with his hands to stand up. Several hands immediately appeared on his shoulders to push him back. The knee he had just raised fell to his knees again. The severe pain caused his entire left leg to change. It made him numb, and it completely ignited his anger, and he struggled even harder.
Pei Xin seemed to really smile now, his pupils sparkling in the dimness. He tilted his head and looked at Chen Bai: "I'm only half kneeling."
Chen Bai seemed to be encouraged by this smile, and he knelt again without hesitation. Li Wenyu's other leg.
Li Wenyu's chest rose and fell violently, and he was in severe pain. Although he knelt down, his back was still straight.
Pei Xin walked over and grabbed his hair.
Li Wenyu was forced to raise his head, his lip lines were tight, there was a little dust on the bridge of his fair nose, and his eyes were unblinking.
"I just said I wouldn't kneel. Isn't that a good thing to kneel down?" Pei Xin curled up the corners of his lips, with a smile in his eyes.
Li Wenyu was aroused by his smile and became even more angry. He gritted his teeth and said, "You crazy people, bullying people is fun, isn't it? No dog would use such low-level fun to have fun."
Pei Xin curled his lips and spoke slowly. He nodded and spoke in a low voice next to Li Wenyu's ear: "Then let's see which one of us is the dog."
He let go of his hand and turned away.
As if receiving some instruction, Cun Tou kicked Li Wenyu in the back, causing him to lie on the ground. Then not only feet, but also fists and elbows came at me from different directions. Li Wenyu also received several slaps on the face. His eyes were black, his head was buzzing, and his body was numb with pain. He could only try his best to protect his head from hitting the ground.
After a while, the fists and kicks on his body finally stopped.
He heard Chen Bai's voice again: "Brother Pei, I...can I leave?"
Pei Xin slowly said two words: "Go away."
Chen Bai was so happy that he immediately left without even daring to think about anything. He crawled on the ground and ran outside.
Li Wenyu heard his messy and fast footsteps passing by, and rushed out of the parking garage without stopping.
Li Wenyu lay on the ground panting and suddenly laughed.
Cun Tou met and slapped him again: "What the hell are you laughing at?"
Li Wenyu's face was tilted away from the slap and he didn't speak.
Pei Xin glanced at him and said casually: "You don't look like a dog yet. Come back tomorrow."
Those people laughed sharply and followed Pei Xin out of the parking garage. The light at the door was first blocked tightly, and then completely Light was restored. In the chaotic and dilapidated parking garage, only Li Wenyu was still lying there.
After a while, Li Wenyu stood up slowly, picked up the dusty scarf in the corner, and limped out.
