That night, Su Qingxin did not go home and Shu Fan did not look for her.
From that night on, no one except Wei Ran cared about Su Qingxin anymore. Su Qingxin spent less and less time at home. Whenever she had free time, she would stay out until very late or study with the members of her study group.
When the sunlight gradually covers the cicadas' chirping, it is time for girls to dig out their skirts from the bottom of their boxes.
The study group met at a cold drink shop around the corner from the school. Su Qingxin stood at the door in her washed-out denim shorts, watching Qin Ruxi, who was wearing a light yellow dress, grabbing the corner of Wei Ran's white T-shirt and smiling shyly. Wei Ran opened Qin Ruxi's hand in anger, and Qin Ruxi grabbed it with a smile. He opened her hand again, and she grabbed it again. This went on and on, and Qin Ruxi never got tired of it.
"Su Qingxin." Wei Ran called Su Qingxin from a distance, then trotted over and stood beside Su Qingxin.
Seeing this, Qin Ruxi came over and squeezed in the middle.
"Qin Ruxi, you are so annoying!" Wei Ran said without any hesitation, and he did not hide the expression of disgust on his face at all.
Qin Ruxi was not angry, she just held her neck high and said, "You are the only one who dares to despise me. You don't know what's good for you!"
Su Qingxin lowered her head and moved aside. Wei Ran walked around Qin Ruxi and stood on the other side of Su Qingxin. Seeing this, Qin Ruxi walked around Su Qingxin and stood between them again. Wei Ran hid, and Qin Ruxi followed him. Wei Ran hid again, and she followed him again. The two kept turning around in front of Su Qingxin, and Su Qingxin was dazzled by the sight.
Fortunately, Yang Ye and Zhu Panpan arrived in time. Su Qingxin quickly walked out from between Wei Ran and Tan Ruxi, took Zhu Panpan's hand and said, "Panpan, you're here."
Yang Ye saw Wei Ran dealing with Qin Ruxi from a distance. He glanced at the fat girl next to him and felt that the world was really unfair.
Zhu Panpan had sharp ears. When she heard Yang Ye sigh, she punched him in the back and said, "Why, did I embarrass you?"
"You are obviously embarrassing yourself, okay?"
Yang Ye pointed at Zhu Panpan, then leaned over to Su Qingxin's ear and said, "Look, the zipper on the back of her skirt is broken."
Su Qingxin hit Yang Ye, pulled Panpan over, looked at Wei Ran and Qin Ruxi, and said, "Panpan, let's go in first and don't worry about them." As she said that, she pulled Panpan into the cold drink shop first.
They would come here to review their lessons whenever they had free time on weekends. This was the only air-conditioned place nearby where they could stay as long as they wanted.
Sitting by the window on the second floor, Su Qingxin and Wei Ran were talking about the topic incessantly, but Zhu Panpan and Yang Ye were too sleepy to listen.
Wei Ran punched Yang Ye and said, "Why are you sleeping? Do you still want to go to college?"
Yang Ye yawned and said, "Spring makes you sleepy, autumn makes you tired, and summer makes you nap!"
Zhu Panpan also narrowed her eyes and pulled Su Qingxin's hand, begging, "Qingxin, let's not talk about it today, okay? I want to go back to sleep."
Upon hearing what Zhu Panpan said, Qin Ruxi quickly grabbed Wei Ran's sleeve and said happily: "Okay, okay, Wei Ran, let them all go back, and we can go out and play, okay?"
"Oh, don't bother me." Wei Ran waved his hand, and Qin Ruxi's hand was opened. She was a little depressed.
Zhu Panpan looked at Tan Ruxi's frustrated look and just found it funny. Tan Ruxi was still having a temper tantrum with Wei Ran, so Zhu Panpan pulled Su Qingxin to look out the window.
Sitting on the second floor, you can see far away. There are few pedestrians on the street. Although there is nothing bright, it is at least better than Tan Ruxi in the cold drink shop - that's what Zhu Panpan thinks.
"Hey, Qingxin, look at that girl, she's so beautiful. " Zhu Panpan shouted.
Su Qingxin looked over casually.
The beautiful woman stood under the tung tree, and occasionally tung flowers fell. She tiptoed gently and brushed the flowers away. After a while, a man walked out of the store behind her. They hugged each other and left hand in hand.
Su Qingxin knew her. She had seen that woman downstairs at Wei Ran's house.
Su Qingxin turned her head to look at Wei Ran and found that Wei Ran's entire face was pressed tightly against the window.
Suddenly, Wei Ran stood up from his seat and ran out of the cold drink shop like crazy. Su Qingxin followed him, calling his name.
Wei Ran ran very fast, the wind whistled past his ears, and he let out a suppressed sob, which was instantly drowned out by the sound of the wind.
The woman heard footsteps behind her and pulled her hand out of the man's arm. When she turned around, she saw Wei Ran standing there looking at her without saying a word.
Su Qingxin ran out of breath and stopped beside a telephone pole behind Wei Ran, supporting herself with her knees and breathing heavily.
"Xiaoran?" The woman saw Wei Ran and walked over hesitantly.
Wei Ran was stunned, turned around without thinking, and left resolutely.
The woman looked a little sad. She looked at Wei Ran's back and slowly lowered her head. The man came over and patted her back gently to comfort her.
Wei Ran passed by Su Qingxin. Su Qingxin called his name, but he didn't respond at all.
The woman, accompanied by the man, also left, heading in the opposite direction of Wei Ran.
When Yang Ye and the others ran out, Wei Ran had already disappeared. Yang Ye told Su Qingxin that the beautiful woman was Wei Ran's mother.
Su Qingxin recalled the look in Wei Ran's eyes when he walked by her just now, which was so dim that there was no light at all. She suddenly wanted to walk into his heart and read his thoughts.
The next day, Su Qingxin took the spare key of the secret base and sneaked into Wei Ran's room.
She went there with something, some colorful things. She didn't want Wei Ran to see the gray and white walls when he came here.
Two hours later, Wei Ran came in with a bag of snacks.
When he saw the scene in front of him, the bag of snacks in Wei Ran's hand slipped.
Su Qingxin, who was squatting on the ground painting the wall, lost her balance and fell to the ground. Seeing Wei Ran coming, she quickly got up and looked at him with her innocent face covered in paint, her voice as small as a mosquito: "I think... it would look better if I painted it with some color..." At the end of the sentence, her voice became weaker and weaker.
Su Qingxin lowered her head and looked at the room which she had made a mess and had not had time to clean up, fearing that Wei Ran would be unhappy again.
"Do you have to paint it pink?" Wei Ran's tone was not very friendly.
Su Qingxin bit her lower lip and was unable to speak.
Wei Ran put the snacks aside, snatched the paintbrush from Su Qingxin's hand, and said to himself: "Then from now on, I will learn to like pink."
Hearing this, a smile gradually spread across Su Qingxin's face.
While brushing the unbrushed areas, Wei Ran said, "Go get some water. The floor needs cleaning."
"Okay." Su Qingxin stood up straight, saluted, and hurried to the public bathroom in the corridor to get water.
Wei Ran was painting the wall calmly, with a warm light in his eyes.
Su Qingxin and Wei Ran spent another two hours to tidy up the room. The wall was painted from gray to pink. Su Qingxin also pasted the wallpaper she bought on it, all of which were cute wallpapers. It was originally a rough and simple place for Wei Ran to occasionally live, but in the end it became a girl's dream room.
Wei Ran was helpless, but had to accept it.
The house that had just been painted was not suitable for living, so Wei Ran took some snacks and went to the rooftop with Su Qingxin.
Looking at the stars on the rooftop, the stars will be very bright. Wei Ran handed Su Qingxin an opened can of beer and asked, "Would you like some?"
Su Qingxin took it and took a bite. The bitter taste made her face grim, but Wei Ran laughed beside her.
Wei Ran drank several sips of wine and asked again: "Su Qingxin, do you want to know about me?"
Su Qingxin wanted to nod her head a few times, but she couldn't do that. She spoke carefully and said, "As long as you say it, I will definitely listen."
Wei Ran smiled bitterly, took another sip of wine, and said, "That woman yesterday was my mother. Pretty, right?"
Su Qingxin nodded and said, "Beautiful."
Wei Ran threw the empty beer can out with force. The can hit the iron pipe and bounced back.
"So, she betrayed me."
When Wei Ran said this, his tone was flat and unpredictable.
Su Qingxin took a breath and suddenly thought of what Wei Ran had said before: "Maybe she is too beautiful. I don't like people who are very beautiful."
Su Qingxin didn't know how to comfort Wei Ran. In this kind of situation, comfort would not have any effect at all.
Wei Ran added: "When I was very young, a neighbor would say, 'Wei Ran, your mother is too beautiful. She will run away with someone else in the future.' At that time, whenever I heard this, I would rush over and bite him desperately, and bite him hard!"
There was a bright light in Wei Ran's eyes. He raised his head, and the light in his eyes merged with the light in the night sky.
"Wei Ran, this has nothing to do with beauty." Su Qingxin said.
Wei Ran was silent, and the light in his eyes became brighter.
What does that have to do with anything? The world of adults is very complicated, and he doesn't want to understand. He also doesn't understand why two people who are together will eventually separate.
"There are many, many reasons." Su Qingxin hugged her knees and murmured, "For example, my mother did it for money."
"For money?" Wei Ran asked.
Su Qingxin nodded and said, "After Dad's leg was injured, he couldn't make money to support us. Dad heard that Mom met a very rich man in Tongcheng, and he quarreled with her while Mom was helping him wash his body. Then, Mom ran out crying, helped me tie my hair, and took me from Haicheng to Tongcheng."
"Su Qingxin." Wei Ran called her name softly.
His voice seemed particularly lonely in the night, and the words came out slowly from his mouth. He said: "We, will it be like this in the future?"
Su Qingxin's heartbeat gradually became rapid. She stared at Wei Ran's profile and felt a burning sensation at her ears.
"Let's not do this in the future, okay?" Wei Ran spoke very softly, but Su Qingxin listened very seriously.
Su Qingxin's eyes slowly curved up, and she slowly replied, "Okay."
That day, they had known each other for exactly one year.
Just this one year became eternity in Su Qingxin's heart.
Time passed like a white horse, the tung flowers faded, the trees withered, summer came and went, and Feng Ruixing could walk without the support of crutches.
Wei Ran is still here.
As long as Wei Ran is still here, anything else that can be called a change is not a change in Su Qing's eyes.
In the bustling noodle shop, Wei Ran sucked noodles with a slurping sound. The fat boss wearing a white apron came over with a smile and asked, "Girl, boy, when are you graduating?"
"There's still a year left." Wei Ran said while eating noodles.
The fat boss smiled and said, "Come to my noodle shop when you graduate. I'll treat you to food, all for free."
Wei Ran and Su Qingxin looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
While checking out, the radio on the counter kept playing Jay Chou's songs over and over again. Su Qingxin leaned on the counter to listen, looking very happy.
Su Qingxin's unintentional action caught Wei Ran's attention.
On the day of the winter solstice, Wei Ran took a radio to the secret base.
Su Qingxin was so happy that she kept dancing around the radio and asked Wei Ran where the radio came from.
Wei Ran blew hot air into his palm and said with a silly smile, "This is the old one that Uncle Wang from the neighbor's house replaced. I begged for it for a long time."
Yes, he bought it with the money he earned from washing dishes for a long time in the restaurant run by Uncle Wang.
Su Qingxin turned on the radio and listened to singing, the radio, the news, and interviews.
Wei Ran walked over, pointed to a red button on it, and said, "You can also record."
Su Qingxin curiously pressed the recording button. The rustling sound lasted for several seconds before Su Qingxin figured out what to say.
"Well... the college entrance examination is over. I'm going back to Haicheng to find my dad and be with Wei Ran. Also, I hope Wei Ran will always be happy." Su Qingxin bit her lip, leaned close to the radio, and said with her breath, "Don't ever forget Su Qingxin."
Wei Ran looked at her from the side, his eyes smiling into crescents.
At that time, time and people were both beautiful. As long as two people were together, the whole world was warm.
At the beginning of 2010, it snowed heavily for a long time. Su Qingxin learned how to knit scarves from Aunt Zhang next door, and she spent a week of her free time knitting a scarf for Wei Ran.
Wei Ran asked her to go to see the lanterns with Yang Ye and Zhu Panpan on the Lantern Festival. While watching the lanterns, Su Qingxin kept thinking about how to give the scarf to Wei Ran. Yang Ye and Zhu Panpan were both here, they would definitely make fun of her, she thought.
The night of the Lantern Festival was very lively. If they were not around, Su Qingxin would not have known that she would like such a lively atmosphere. She remembered that the last time she experienced such a lively atmosphere was on her tenth birthday, when her parents took her to the beach to catch fireflies.
"Zhu Panpan, can you please stop hitting me? You know, with your weight, if you hit me once, I'll be in pain for several months!"
Yang Ye's complaints pulled Su Qingxin out of her memories.
Seeing that Yang Ye disliked her, Zhu Panpan rushed up to him and kept scratching his back. Yang Ye kept dodging because of the itch.
"What a funny guy." Wei Ran looked at Yang Ye and Zhu Panpan and joked with a smile.
Su Qingxin looked up and met Wei Ran's gaze. She panicked and quickly dodged.
"Su Qingxin?" Wei Ran called her name, turned around to stop her, leaned over and asked, "Are you okay? Something seems wrong today!"
"I..." Su Qingxin smiled awkwardly, "I have a stomachache."
When a teenage girl complains of a stomachache, 99% of boys will wonder what's going on. Wei Ran didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he just said, "Follow closely, don't get lost."
"Yeah." Su Qingxin nodded slightly and responded softly.
After walking for a while, Wei Ran turned his head again and said awkwardly: "How about I go buy you a bowl of Yuanxiao... Nuannuan?"
Su Qingxin thought about the scarf and nodded inertia.
Wei Ran said, "Then I'll go."
After saying that, he left.
Su Qingxin didn't notice anything at all. She kept moving forward, mumbling to herself what to do. How could she give the scarf to Wei Ran without making people think it was strange? But it would still seem strange no matter how she gave it.
"Wei Ran." Su Qingxin called Wei Ran, but no one answered. She turned around, and there were only unfamiliar faces playing around behind her, but no sign of Wei Ran.
"Wei Ran!" Su Qingxin shouted Wei Ran's name and ran back. She ran too fast and accidentally bumped into someone. The frail Su Qingxin was knocked to the ground, and the other person quickly helped her up, kept apologizing, and kept brushing the dust off her body.
Su Qingxin kept saying that it was okay, but her eyes were looking for Wei Ran in the crowd.
The man who was hit heard Su Qingxin say that it was okay, nodded and left, his pace quickening.
Wei Ran bought some Yuanxiao and came over. After witnessing what happened, he immediately rushed up and poured the Yuanxiao on the man’s head.
"Wei Ran, what are you doing?" Su Qingxin was startled.
The man's neck was hit by the Yuanxiao, and the scalding hot Yuanxiao burned him so much that he rolled on the ground with his neck shrunk.
Wei Ran ran over and snatched the wallet that the man had just taken from Su Qingxin from his arms, then turned around and ran away with Su Qingxin.
Su Qingxin was shocked and asked as she ran, "Is he a thief?"
"You're just stupid!" Seeing that the man didn't catch up, Wei Ran let go of Su Qingxin's hand and lectured her, "How can you be so confused in a place with so many people? You didn't even know I left. Look, if it weren't for me, your wallet would have been stolen."
"I'm thinking about something..." Su Qingxin explained with her head down, subconsciously clenching the bag in her hand.
Wei Ran was sharp-eyed and asked, "What are you holding?"
"nothing."
Wei Ran pretended to be angry, snatched the bag from Su Qingxin's hand and started to rummage through it, finally pulling out a long knitted scarf.
Su Qingxin wanted to stop it, but she was too embarrassed to say anything.
Wei Ran lifted up the scarf and took a look at it, then handed the bag back to Su Qingxin, wrapped the scarf around his neck, and looked at the shadow in the glass window carefully. Then he said excitedly, "Su Qingxin, this scarf is so beautiful, can you give it to me?"
Su Qingxin's face flushed, and she stammered, "Well... OK."
It was originally meant for you, Su Qingxin thought to herself.
Su Qingxin turned her head to look at the window, where their two figures were reflected.
Wei Ran patted the scarf around his neck, turned around and looked at Su Qingxin, flicked her forehead, and said in a condescending manner: "Ms. Su Qingxin, to thank you for giving me this scarf, if you need me for anything in the future, I will go through fire and water to help you."
Seeing Wei Ran talking nonsense again, Su Qingxin hit him in annoyance.
Wei Ran sighed maturely and said, "Su Qingxin, I wish you could grow up quickly."
"Why?" Su Qingxin asked.
Wei Ran turned and walked away, saying mysteriously, "No reason."
Su Qingxin trotted over, followed behind Wei Ran, raised her head and asked, "Then what kind of person do you want me to be?"
Wei Ran pretended to think, and said, "Hmm... a gentle and kind girl."
Su Qingxin didn't say anything else and followed him slowly.
At that moment, the people around them seemed to have disappeared, and there were only the two of them left in the whole world.
In fact, Wei Ran really wants to say, Su Qingxin, I wish you could grow up quickly, I wish I could be braver, then I can protect you with a legitimate reason and say that I love you openly.
But the boy was too sensitive and fragile. He was afraid that if he said he liked her, he would not even have the right to stand beside her.
Because of this incident, Su Qingxin was blocked in the girls' restroom by Qin Ruxi as soon as she returned to school.
Qin Ruxi called three girls to support her. She turned off the tap that Su Qingxin was running and asked in a questioning tone: "Su Qingxin, what is your relationship with Wei Ran?"
Su Qingxin didn't answer, but took a step back and tried to leave. The three girls formed a circle around her and didn't let her leave.
Qin Ruxi added: "I hate people like you who are not honest the most. Let me tell you, I have known Wei Ran longer than you, and I understand him better than you do. He is mine, do you know that?"
"There's no sign on it saying your name, so how come it's yours?" Su Qingxin said indifferently.
A girl next to her pushed Su Qingxin and threatened her, "Do you know the relationship between Sister Ruxi and Wei Ran? You don't know what's good for you."
"Wenting!" Qin Ruxi scolded her, and Wenting immediately shut up.
Qin Ruxi turned to Su Qingxin and said, "Su Qingxin, Wei Ran is ignoring me now because of his mother. This is only temporary. After Wei Ran lets go of this worry, he will come back to me. Don't interfere anymore."
"I don't know what you are talking about." Su Qingxin was indifferent. She brushed past Qin Ruxi and left the bathroom.
She knew what the relationship between Qin Ruxi and Wei Ran was.
That night on the rooftop, Su Qingxin told Wei Ran about her doubts. Wei Ran had a good relationship with Qin Ruxi when he was a child. When Wei Ran found out that his mother and father had conflicts and his mother started having an affair, psychological factors forced him to not accept Qin Ruxi's kindness to him.
Qin Ruxi is very beautiful. Whenever Wei Ran sees her, he thinks of his mother's face.
As Qin Ruxi's feelings began to take root, Wei Ran gradually distanced herself from her.
Su Qingxin once asked: "If Tan Ruxi was just an ordinary girl, would you still distance yourself from her?"
Wei Ran said: "Who can say for sure? When I was a kid, the world only had right and wrong, and I never thought about whether I should do something or not. I didn't know it at that time, but now I know it."
"Know what?" Su Qingxin asked curiously.
Wei Ran smiled mysteriously, gritted his teeth and shook his head without saying anything.
In this world, he would not regret alienating anyone except Su Qingxin.
Su Qingxin returned to Feng's house and was taking out the key to open the door when Feng Ruixing appeared behind her and said quietly, "You're actually fighting with the beauty in your class for a man in the bathroom, Su Qingxin?"
"Be careful with your words." Su Qingxin opened the door with a cold voice.
Feng Ruixing jumped in front of her and said with a nonchalant smile: "Sister Su, there is nothing to be embarrassed about. If you dare to snatch it, I, Feng Ruixing, will respect you as a man." After saying that, Feng Ruixing felt something was wrong and changed his words, "I will respect you as a female man."
Su Qingxin had been under the Feng family's roof for so long, she could guess what Feng Ruixing was thinking with her toes. If he had good intentions, Su Qingxin could finish ten bowls of beef noodles in one go.
"Qingxin and Xiaoxing are back?" Shu Fan heard their voices and walked out of the kitchen. She was wearing an apron and her hands were still stained with water. Shu Fan walked to the dining table, pulled out a chair and sat down, pressing one hand on her stomach.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Su Qingxin walked over and asked with concern.
Shu Fan waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, I just have a stomachache. I haven't prepared the meal yet, go and help me, Uncle Feng will be back soon."
Feng Ruixing looked at Shu Fan, sneered, and muttered: "Mother and daughter are mother and daughter. They are so similar that they don't even dare to compete with others for men."
"Feng Ruixing, what did you say?" Su Qingxin turned around angrily and glared at Feng Ruixing.
Shu Fan quickly took Su Qingxin's hand and said, "Go to the kitchen and help."
Su Qingxin had no choice but to find some stomach medicine for Shu Fan first, and then went to the kitchen to help.
Feng Ruixing glanced indifferently at Shu Fan who was sitting at the dining table, and went upstairs.
Su Qingxin didn't know, but he knew that since his leg injury more than a year ago, the relationship between Feng Qiang and Shu Fan had not been so good.
Last summer, Feng Ruixing went to his father's company and saw him with another younger and prettier woman. His mother died of depression because of his father's promiscuous love, and Shu Fan would inevitably suffer the same consequences. However, compared to that young woman, Feng Ruixing would rather Shu Fan stay here, at least Shu Fan was good to him.
But after hearing these things, Shu Fan didn't dare to do anything. This was exactly the same as Su Qingxin, who only knew how to retreat.
As soon as Feng Ruixing returned to the room, he put on his headphones and turned the volume up to maximum to play games.
Many times, fate has changed in the dark , and no one can predict what to do next, whether to take the left foot or the right foot.
Su Qingxin was occasionally targeted by Tan Ruxi at school, but Wei Ran and Zhu Panpan would always stand on her side. With Wei Ran around, Tan Ruxi didn't dare to do anything to her.
At the Feng family, Feng Qiang's attitude towards Shu Fan was not cold, but it was not as good as when he first arrived at the Feng family. Feng Ruixing still bullied her, but not as badly as before. Feng Ruixing would always secretly scold Su Qingxin, saying, "You are so stupid, and your mother is stupid too! Two stupid women!"
Su Qingxin remained indifferent to his insults.
Feng Ruixing would say again: "Su Qingxin, you always live under Wei Ran's protection, you will never achieve anything great in the future. Even when I scold you, you dare not talk back!"
Every time at this time, Su Qingxin would hide in Shu Fan's room and say, "Mom, let's leave the Feng family. We can go anywhere."
Shu Fan sighed and sat at the head of the bed, looking haggard. She touched Su Qingxin's head and said, "Qingxin, if mom leaves the Feng family, there is no way to support you. You are about to take the college entrance examination. For mom, can you bear it?"
Su Qingxin didn't understand why she had to endure it.
Shu Fan sighed and said, "You will understand many things when you grow up. Be careful, everyone's life and destiny are different, and their choices are also different..."
Su Qingxin didn't want to face so many choices, she just wanted to live happily. However, since she moved from Haicheng to Tongcheng, she has rarely been happy.
She didn't know how fate would change her, she just wanted to not succumb to it.
But before she could bravely overcome her fate, this so-called life gave her another absurd choice.
In May 2011, there was less than a month left before the college entrance examination.
The 17th was a weekend, and the temperature rose suddenly. Su Qingxin stayed in the living room all day reading. In the afternoon, Feng Ruixing came back and went into the bedroom to play games. Su Qingxin was going to take the college entrance examination, and he became much more honest than before and would not deliberately provoke her.
Su Qingxin got tired while reading and fell asleep on the sofa. The large living room became quiet, with only the electric fan still whirring.
In the evening, Feng Qiang came back. As soon as he entered the hallway, he took off his tie. Because he had a social event that day, he drank a lot of wine. The alcohol almost anesthetized his brain. He fell on the sofa like a pile of mud, and with his slightly open eyes, he just saw Su Qingxin sleeping opposite.
The 18-year-old Su Qingxin has lost the immaturity she had when she first came here. Lying on the sofa, her body exudes the scent of a mature girl. She rests her head on her hands, revealing her delicate collarbone.
Feng Qiang swallowed his saliva, struggled to get up from the sofa, and lay in front of Su Qingxin, shouting: "Qingxin, Qingxin?"
Su Qingxin was sleeping soundly.
Due to the effect of alcohol, Feng Qiang's breathing became more and more rapid. He licked his cracked lips and reached out to Su Qingxin's body.
The itchy touch startled Su Qingxin. She woke up in a daze and saw Feng Qiang's face approaching as soon as she opened her eyes.
"Ah——" Su Qingxin screamed subconsciously.
Feng Qiang got anxious when he heard the scream. He quickly covered Su Qingxin's mouth, leaned over, and held down her struggling hands while saying, "Don't make a sound, don't make a sound!"
Su Qingxin was so scared that tears came out of her eyes. She struggled constantly, but her body was pressed down by Feng Qiang, and she couldn't move at all.
Feng Qiang was taking off his coat impatiently, and Su Qingxin bit Feng Qiang's hand. Feng Qiang felt pain and moved his hand away. Taking this opportunity, Su Qingxin pushed Feng Qiang away and fell off the sofa to the ground. She screamed in fear: "Mom! Mom - help!"
Feng Qiang pressed Su Qingxin's head on the coffee table, knelt behind Su Qingxin, and unbuckled the belt on his pants.
Su Qingxin saw that Feng Ruixing's bedroom door was slightly ajar, and cried out in fear: "Feng Ruixing - save me, Feng Ruixing!"
But Feng Ruixing was playing games with headphones on, so he couldn't hear Su Qingxin's cry for help.
Su Qingxin was extremely desperate. She didn't know what to do and could only desperately shout for help. Feng Qiang's hands pulled at Su Qingxin's clothes. Su Qingxin cried and tried to pry his hands apart, but she didn't have that much strength. In despair, Su Qingxin grabbed the white porcelain pot on the coffee table and smashed it hard on the coffee table. She picked up the fragments and stabbed Feng Qiang's hand, which was holding her head.
Feng Qiang groaned, his body fell weakly on the sofa, and scarlet blood flowed from the back of his hand.
Su Qingxin got up from the ground in horror. She didn't dare to look back at Feng Qiang, so she could only run out the door. She didn't know where to go, as long as she wasn't at Feng's house.
She ran while clutching her clothes, her tears swallowed by the evening breeze.
Passersby on the street looked at the girl who was crying until her voice was hoarse and consciously avoided her.
Su Qingxin ran wildly all the way, without any purpose, but with a purpose.
She came here subconsciously - her and Wei Ran's secret base.
She only has Wei Ran to rely on now.
Su Qingxin suppressed the lingering fear in her heart and ran upstairs. As soon as she reached the stairs, she heard an argument coming from inside.
The sky darkened and the last rays of sunset disappeared.
The old corridor was lit with a dim yellow light. Tan Ruxi stood under the light and urged rudely: "Hurry up and tell me, hurry up and tell me!"
Wei Ran rubbed his brows, leaned against the door frame, and spread his hands: "Sister, can we go home?"
"No." Qin Ruxi stretched out her hands to block the door and asked, "Did Su Qingxin paint the room for you? Humph! If I hadn't asked Dad to keep this land, would you have a place to live?"
"boom--"
Su Qingxin felt a flash of lightning flash through his head. Was this room left by Qin Ruxi for Wei Ran? Wasn't it for one of his friends...
Why?
Wei Ran quickly clasped his hands together and begged, "Qin Ruxi, please don't tell Su Qingxin, okay?"
"No way." Qin Ruxi raised her head and said angrily, "Unless you tell me that I am more important to you than Su Qingxin; unless you tell me that you don't like Su Qingxin."
Wei Ran's expression suddenly froze. He waved his hands and shouted, "How is this possible ! What kind of vision do I, Wei Ran, have? How could I be attracted to Su Qingxin?"
"That's good." Qin Ruxi patted Wei Ran's chest and said happily, "That's what I mean. How could you possibly like Su Qingxin? Su Qingxin is stupid and confused."
Wei Ran smiled perfunctorily and agreed, "That's right, Su Qingxin is stupid and confused. It would be fun to make her obey me first and then dump her, right?"
Qin Ruxi was naive and believed Wei Ran's words.
Su Qingxin was also naive and believed Wei Ran's words.
Su Qingxin pursed her lips, tears welling up in her eyes. She pinched the wall with her fingers, pinching a finger of white ash. She was extremely scared just now, and now she was extremely sad.
She gave her whole heart to Wei Ran, but in the end she had to watch Wei Ran play with her heart in his palm.
Su Qingxin turned around and walked downstairs step by step. Her legs felt like they were filled with lead, so heavy that she was almost suffocating. Suddenly, Su Qingxin slipped and fell down the stairs. The pain in her body could not compare to the pain in her heart. She covered her mouth and forced herself not to cry out loud.
The scene of Feng Qiang bullying her and the scene of Wei Ran talking just now hit her heart again and again like messy shots. Her chest was choked by sobs and felt so sour as if thousands of ants were gnawing at it.
After a while, Su Qingxin got up from the ground and left in a daze.
Now, she really didn't know where to go.
After Su Qingxin left, Wei Ran's smile gradually disappeared in the secret base.
Qin Ruxi squeezed into the room, sat on the bed and swung her legs, and said, "From now on, besides you, I will also be the master of this place."
Wei Ran stood at the door, his patience completely gone: "Miss Qin, can you please stop making trouble? It's getting dark, I'll take you home?"
"No!" Qin Ruxi said word by word, and finally just lay on Wei Ran's bed and refused to get up.
Wei Ran slapped himself hard. If this room wasn't his and Su Qingxin's secret base, he wouldn't want to spend time here with this young lady.
Qin Ruxi was lying on the bed, and she noticed the glass money jar on the desk. She got up, took the money jar and asked, "Wei Ran, what are you saving money for?"
Wei Ran saw it and immediately rushed forward to grab it: "You can't touch this, give it back to me!"
Qin Ruxi rolled onto the bed holding the glass money jar and said jokingly, "I won't return it. If you don't tell me what you do, I won't return it."
Wei Ran was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. He pointed at Qin Ruxi who was rolling around on the bed and said, "I'm telling you, if you break this jar, I will fight you to the death!"
Qin Ruxi held the jar to her chest, looked at Wei Ran with ill intent, and said provocatively: "Then fight with all your strength."
"You!" Wei Ran was furious. He couldn't do anything to Qin Ruxi, so he simply said, "Then you play by yourself." After that, he turned around and left.
"Wei Ran!" Qin Ruxi called Wei Ran from behind, but Wei Ran ignored her.
"Wei Ran, stop right there!" Tan Ruxi screamed.
Wei Ran still ignored her.
Seeing Wei Ran walk out of the room, Qin Ruxi was so angry that she raised the money jar in her hand and smashed it to the ground.
Hearing the sound of the money jar breaking, Wei Ran's face changed immediately. He ran into the house and saw that the glass jar had been smashed, and the coins and banknotes inside were scattered everywhere.
"Qin Ruxi!" Wei Ran was furious.
Qin Ruxi was so frightened that her body trembled and she stared at him in panic.
Wei Ran rushed over, grabbed Qin Ruxi's wrist and pushed her out of the room, then slammed the door shut.
Qin Ruxi kept banging on the door and yelled, "Wei Ran, open the door for me, you heartless person..."
Wei Ran didn't care about her at all. He squatted down, picked up the coins and banknotes and put them into his palm.
That was the money he and Su Qingxin needed to travel to Haicheng. He had saved it for a long time. He had promised Su Qingxin that he would accompany her to Haicheng to find her father.
Wei Ran's eyes were filled with bloodshot, and his teeth were clattering. He would never forgive Qin Ruxi for what she did today.
Outside the house, the clouds in the night sky were growing thicker and thicker, and the light was getting dimmer and dimmer, until the road under my feet could no longer be seen.
Su Qingxin staggered several times. The road was too dark and it took her a long time to get here.
In front of her was the Tongcheng Railway Station. She came out from Wei Ran's place and stood there for a long time before deciding to go to the railway station.
She wants to go back to Haicheng.
Su Qingxin was walking alone in the crowd. The people at the train station were in a hurry, so busy that they didn't even have time to glance at this lonely girl. Su Qingxin was extremely helpless. She didn't have a penny on her, but she didn't know how to ask for help.
As the time grew later and there were fewer and fewer passengers, Su Qingxin squatted at the entrance, hugging her knees, like a poor worm.
Tears splashed on the back of her hand. Su Qingxin kept looking at the rough red bracelet on her wrist until it became blurred in her vision. Su Qingxin choked and grabbed the bracelet angrily and tried to pull it off. However, the bracelet was tied tightly by Wei Ran at that time, and it made her wrist red, so she couldn't pull it off.
Su Qingxin felt a surge of grievances in her heart and she hugged herself and cried bitterly.
Special agent Zhang Yishi from the train station square lay on the isolation fence with a half-broken toothpick in his mouth, and looked at Su Qingxin for a long time.
A colleague came over, nudged Zhang Yishi with his elbow, and jokingly said, "Do you want to help her? She looks so pitiful. Aren't you single?"
"Single! Single! Single!" Zhang Yishi would hit his colleague on the brim of his hat every time he said "single", then kick him unceremoniously and yell, "Get to work!"
The colleague covered his calf, which was hurt by the kick, and complained: "Why? I'm doing this for your own good, right?"
"Nosy!" Zhang Yishi spat at him.
The colleague left in a huff. After a while, he ran to Su Qingxin with a piece of bread and a bottle of mineral water, squatted down and shouted, "Little girl, do you want to eat something?"
Su Qingxin raised her head, her eyes were swollen like walnuts.
A colleague handed Su Qingxin some bread and mineral water, pointed to Zhang Yishi who was on duty not far away, and said, "My brother felt sorry for you and asked me to bring it to you. Eat something. Girl, what are you doing squatting here in the middle of the night?"
Su Qingxin took the bread, whispered "thank you", and did not respond to her colleague.
The colleague did not ask any more questions and said, "It's okay, eat slowly. If you have any difficulties, just come to me. You can also come to him." As he said that, he pointed to Zhang Yishi in the distance.
Su Qingxin nodded, lowered her head and bit the bread silently.
The colleague looked at her with pity, sighed, stood up and left.
The clock hands at the train station pointed to one o'clock in the morning, and a group of special agents in the square went off work, and Zhang Yishi was one of them.
Su Qingxin watched them all change into casual clothes and walk away for the most part, and she began to feel panicky.
Suddenly, a dry thunder was heard in the dark sky. Su Qingxin was frightened and quickly stood up and ran towards Zhang Yishi who was about to leave.
