Chapter 34 It's like seeing the light. Let's be strangers for a while...

"Da-da-da-da-" The stiletto heels were banged, and the breath of anger spread throughout the corridor.

Li Zhen's eyebrows were twisted into a ball. She took only three steps and couldn't help but stop. She turned around and glared at her son who was following behind her. Seeing Xu Shen's cold expression of staying out of the matter, she suppressed her anger and turned back silently, and continued to walk two steps.

Over and over again. Walking intermittently on a road, and holding on to go down two floors, Li Zhen really couldn't hold it anymore.

"You are really sick. You even recorded the video of your principal's speech and reported him for insulting the ethics of teachers?"

"I beg you to think about it, okay? If he can become the principal, can there be no one behind him? Now, after reporting, he was rejected by his junior in the Education Bureau, and I am here to be scolded." When

Li Zhen thought of the face of the principal just now, her hand holding the Hermès bag could not help shaking. She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. Her indignant words were like an erupting volcano, rising higher and higher.

Li Zhen: "Besides, I watched your principal's speech - oh, those self-proclaimed thought-provoking suppressions have been common for five thousand years. Everyone is used to it, okay?" Li Zhen's

disdainful tone was like cold water poured on red-hot iron. Xu Shen's eyebrows were firm, his eyes were fixed on him, and he was righteous.

"You're used to it, but it's wrong, isn't it? Wrong should be corrected, isn't it?"

The speech was very upright, but cold, and people's necks felt cold when they heard it.

Obviously, those were not words that grew up in Xu Shen's world, but the shadows of others that passed by him.

"Reset the wrongs?"

This was the first time that Xu Shen, who was always used to silence, responded to Li Zhen's words. Li Zhen was stunned for a long time before she was sure that the words just now were not an illusion.

She turned her head and looked behind her.

The boy on the steps stood with his back to the light, with a furry golden light, which made him look particularly holy. He stood upright and openly in the bright light, and for the first time, Li Zhen felt different.

It was so strange that Xu Shen seemed to have become warmer.

Once upon a time, every time she looked back, she could only see a dark and low-spirited child. He always curled up, day after day, and slowly hid in a place where no light could be seen.

The gloomy and cold under the cliff was bottomless, and so was the boy who had stayed there for countless years.

Why didn't he keep his head down and look indifferent?

When did he change? Xu Shen.

How amazing.

Li Zhen glared at Xu Shen, looking at him from head to toe again, and a strange smile slowly appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"So? You don't really think that if those words are broadcast, someone will stand up for justice, right? No, people will just keep digging and digging until the cause and effect of this matter are completely changed."

"They will judge everyone involved in the incident from a high position, and accuse you of the unbearable price brought by your negligence. Do you know what that is? It is a new trouble, a new pain, a new hell."

Li Zhen stood at the bottom of the stairs. Her child's reflection was on her body, the only person who was shaded in her sunshine.

She shook her head, slowly, and a faint and sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of her lips. As soon as she opened her mouth, a sigh came out first, long and weak.

"They will even pay more attention to your relationship with Li Su, and care more about whether you have made her pregnant. Do you know what the only thing you can do now is to settle the matter as soon as possible, endure it, endure it, let this matter pass, pass! This... is reality."

Xu Shen's fist clenched unconsciously, his nails dug into his palm, leaving a trail of blood. "It means forget it. Let them bully you, right?" "

What else? Do you want to fight back? Go against the world for her? How romantic, you poor couple." Li Zhen said sarcastically, with her arms around her chest.

She didn't avoid or dodge, and her eyes met Xu Shen's.

She tried to disrupt Xu Shen, but the gradually growing viciousness and coldness in Xu Shen's eyes made her feel uneasy.

This is the Xu Shen she is more familiar with.

He has been suppressed for many years, and deep in his mind, he might be a pervert.

Li Zhen woke up: No. We can't talk about this anymore.

"But I really didn't expect it," Li Zhen changed the subject and chuckled, "I always thought that you would be called to school because of fighting, but it could be because of premature love."

"No premature love!" Xu Shen corrected Li Zhen in a serious tone, and the emotions in his eyes were indeed relaxed.

"So you didn't catch up?" Li Zhen widened his eyes in surprise, and once again looked at Xu Shen from top to bottom.

Incredibly exclaimed: "Really? Xu Shen, you don't know how to chase girls? In this era, it's still pretty good to have a good face! Why are you so..."

"..." Xu Shen couldn't listen any more, and took the initiative to walk down the stairs a few steps, gently pushing Li Zhen, motioning her to hurry downstairs.

The mother and son walked out of the office building, and were shivered by the early spring breeze.

Stepping into the depths of the campus, the flowing crowds and the flowing topics brushed shoulders vividly.

Some were discussing grades, some were exchanging study methods, mixed with the pressure of family matters, and -

"Xu Qie took action, taking Li Su to the grove..."

"Damn it! No way! In broad daylight..."

The few words disrupted by the noise shook Xu Shen's mind, and he paused and looked in the direction of the sound.

"Did Xu Qie really hit a woman?"

"I don't know, but he pushed Li Su, no kidding, he was pretty fierce."

Xu Shen's legs rushed out almost instantly, and Li Zhen's heart skipped a beat. At the same time, she reached out and grabbed Xu Shen tightly.

"What are you going to do?" Li Zhen asked knowingly.

There was a touch of scarlet in his eyes, and Xu Shen's eyes were violent, as if he had finally taken off his warm skin and revealed his true appearance.

Wet and heavy, like the prelude to a storm, thunderous.

"Let go!" Xu Shen struggled almost desperately, and Li Zhen didn't have enough strength, so she rushed over and hugged Xu Shen's waist.

"Xu Shen!" Li Zhen almost yelled, she tried to pinch Xu Shen's weak spot, half threatening, half reminding: "Do you have to make a big deal? You know, if something really happens, I can't handle it. I will call your father. You want to beg your father, right?"

"Then beg him!" Xu Shen gave up his 17 years of persistence and said without any bottom line: "I will beg him, kneel down, cry, make a fuss, I can do it. - I have only one attitude: no 'forget it', no! Whoever dares to touch us again will die!"

Xu Shen's eyes were indifferent and gloomy. He pinched Li Zhen's two arms and pulled Li Zhen away.

"Xu Shen!" Li Zhen endured the pain and held Xu Shen tightly. She didn't dare to let go. She was afraid, very afraid.

She swallowed her saliva, her thoughts were confused, and she had a quick wit.

She screamed, almost breaking her voice: "Listen to me! Son! Don't worry about those idiots! Li Su, Li Su! Go find her first...Xu Shen, you can't mess around, let alone make things more chaotic. You have to think about Li Su!"

It seemed that the weakest part of Xu Shen was hit by the most fatal attack. Xu Shen's struggle stopped instantly. His eyes were like being struck by lightning. He looked at Li Zhen stupidly, and his fingertips trembled uncontrollably.

Yes, yes, we have to think about Li Su.

But Li Su...what should we do?

"Mom..." Xu Shen's voice was choked with an imperceptible groan. The blizzard in his eyes melted into the wet rain of a certain year. The silent pleading in his eyes was humble and painful. He said: "Mom...help us."

Not to help Li Su, nor to help me. But...

please help us.

Calm down! Calm down! Li Zhen's eyes were also red.

She tried to slowly let go of Xu Shen. She knew that she had to make a promise. This was her only choice.

Li Zhen promised: "This is the first time you have asked me for something. I will not refuse you. - Let me think about it. You go to Li Su first. Remember, don't be stupid."

This is the only straw that 17-year-old Xu Shen can grasp.

He kept reminding himself: Mom is a resourceful person, and he needs such a resourceful person now. It doesn't matter if

it's sinister, black-bellied, or shady. As long as it can be solved!

He wants to be with Li Su, and he wants to give Li Su a good life. A very good, happy life. Xu Shen looked at Li Zhen deeply. It was a warning, but also a beg. 

He turned around and ran. He wanted to find his girl, he knew she was crying. 

——Xu Shen didn't find Li Su. 

It was the message Li Su sent him that made him walk to the balcony of the teaching building. 

The sky in early March darkened quickly, and the sunset glow was like blood, covering the girl's blue and white school uniform. 

The wind lifted her ponytail high, and her hair fluttered on her face, a dance in the world. 

For the first time, Xu Shen discovered that getting close to Li Su would feel so heavy that he couldn't take a step. 

It was as if a thousand-pound weight was tied to his legs, as if there was a little girl behind him, pulling his trouser legs bloodily, not letting him get close. 

But he just wouldn't agree. 

He walked to Li Su step by step, and saw her turn her head, with a gentle smile on her lips. 

She looked at him with warm eyes, just as she had said countless times. ——Face life with a smile. 

The wind was cold and dry, blowing through each other, the smell of jasmine withering, the smell of decayed innocence, gradually became stronger. 

It was like black chocolate sticking to the tip of the tongue, unable to be wiped off, and really bitter. 

"Don't go to fight with Xu Qie." Li Su's tone was almost calm, and it seemed like some kind of programmed instruction. 

"Xu Shen, I won't let you become that kind of person. Revenge for grievances, living in a certain moment of being targeted for a lifetime, unable to get out, and living unhappily." 

Many evil thoughts burned in Xu Shen's mind. He looked at Li Su, and was also looked at by Li Su worriedly. 

In her straightforward eyes, Xu Shen could only keep pushing back all his dark thoughts and try his best. 

He held the handrail weakly, he couldn't help but look away, unable to say no, and couldn't give a response. 

"Will you promise me?" Li Su's voice was very light, as if talking to a dream, still looking relaxed and happy as before. 

"I like a friendly and enthusiastic world. I hope you can make up the beauty and warmth of this world. When I look at you, it's like seeing light." 

That was the best direction that 16-year-old Li Su could think of and point out. 

She wished her friend Xu Shen could go down this road and have a bright future and a brilliant life. 

She thought that he had to live well. 

Xu Shen opened his mouth, but he was like a mute who lost his voice overnight and couldn't make a sound. His eyes were red and he nodded heavily. 

I promise you, Li Su. 

I will always be obedient, Li Su. 

"Oh," Li Su noticed his abnormality, she still smiled, but her eyes were wet, "Xu Shen, can you give me a hug?" 

Xu Shen's arms slowly opened. 

Please hug me. Maybe you need it too, 

please hug me, if you need it too. 

Like the speed of a collision, he rushed over in an instant. 

Li Su tiptoed and hugged Xu Shen's neck tightly. She stroked his hair and patted it gently. 

Li Su rolled her red eyes and took a deep breath again and again. 

She said: "The college entrance examination is coming soon, let's split up and meet at the top." 

She said: "I promise you: if I need to, I will shout your name very loudly." 

She said: "Xu Shen, I may live in days like this for a while. I am not ready to continue to be friends with you." 

She said: "Xu Shen, can we be strangers for a while?" 

There was only the sobbing of winter in the wind, and her forehead was stained with damp and heavy coldness. She did not see a pair of red eyes from crying, but she saw a broken heart. 

Tears soaked her 17-year-old youth. Forever and ever.
