My mother hasn't called me much recently. When I was complaining to Ye Bihan about why she was so quiet lately , my cell phone rang.
I just wonder, why can't people stand being nagged?
"Speak of the devil and he will appear."
Ye Bihan smiled and said, "Hurry up and answer it."
"Hello, Mom. You haven't called me in the past few days. Are you busy? Is the child being naughty recently?"
I first heard a few laughs from the other end of the phone, and it seemed that the person was in a good mood.
"Qingtong, mom resigned."
I was shocked, not because I disliked her for not going to work, but because she had been working as a nanny since she came to this city. Now she can almost be said to be a gold medal nanny . I was really surprised that she suddenly said she wanted to quit.
"Why? Is it that family is mean to you and bullies you?" I asked anxiously.
"That's not the case. Mom thinks that always babysitting children for others is not a long-term solution."
"Oh, you can use idioms now, and use them so accurately." Every time we chat, I always remember to make fun of her.
"You're grown up now, and you're going to get married in the future. Don't let others look down on you. So, Aunt Zhang and Aunt Li and I borrowed some money and rented a small shop with them. We plan to open a dry cleaning shop. It's just washing clothes for people, which is not difficult. I can learn it after a little practice."
Putting aside what she said earlier about being afraid that the other party would look down on me, I am really happy for her that she is willing to do something on her own and not stick to the old ways.
"Mom, you finally came to your senses, that's great. So when do you plan to open the business? I can go back and help, and share in the good fortune."
"I've thought about it. It's this Saturday. You don't have classes so you can rest. Let's clean up together."
Saturday.
As I was busy packing my things, I seemed to hear a familiar voice, like Lin Xiaozhu's. I thought I was hallucinating, so I shook my head and forgot about it.
But the sound became clearer and clearer.
When I walked out of the store, I looked up and saw him hanging a sign with Cai Qihang. Ye Bihan and Yi Dan were cleaning the windows. They were having a great time and working in perfect harmony.
I threw away the rag in my hand and walked up to Lin Xiaozhu angrily: "Lin Xiaozhu, get down here!"
Lin Xiaozhu smiled and said, "Wait a moment, it will be hung up soon..."
I said impatiently: "Come down right now!"
Everyone looked at me.
Lin Xiaozhu got down from the stool dejectedly and patted the dust off her body: "What's wrong, Miss? Did that Mo Xiyi bully you again?"
Speaking of Mo Xiyi, I still glanced at Yi Dan warily, and found that he was having a pleasant conversation with Ye Bihan, and I felt relieved.
"Go away. I told you that you'd better not show up in front of me in the future, otherwise I will beat you up every time I see you."
"Classmate, why are you still so unreasonable? I'm here as a free laborer, and you treat me like this? Forget it, I don't blame you. Hurry up and pack your things. There's still a lot of things that haven't been done yet."
I finally couldn't hold it in any longer: "Lin Xiaozhu, do you want to keep what happened that day a secret? Do you think I'm like that cheerleader girl, someone you can kiss whenever you want? I beg you, if you want to hurt someone, go find someone else, don't come to me. I'm very busy and don't have time to mess with you."
As soon as I finished speaking, I turned my head casually and found that those who were busy with their work were looking at me straight...
It's over, it's over. I let it slip in my haste. Now everyone knows we kissed. Even my mom, who just walked out of the store, saw it! If there was a window at this time, I would definitely jump out of it.
Lin Xiaozhu became serious, his brown eyes full of questions. His eyes went straight into my mind, without any evasion, which made me feel uneasy. He opened his lips slightly and said softly, "Cheng Qingtong, can you tell me what you like about Mo Xiyi?"
I have never seen him look so serious. I don’t know whether I should answer this question. If I do, how should I say it…
"Why should I tell you? Who are you to me? Besides, you wouldn't understand even if I told you. Our views on love are so different. We can't work together if we don't share the same ideals."
He looked at me, relaxed his serious expression, and smiled in the sun, showing a row of neat teeth. In fact, at this moment, I suddenly realized that I didn't hate him very much. Although he kissed me secretly, touching my bottom line, making me always want to drive him away, but in fact, I didn't reject him very much in my heart. Because, if you really hate him, the most effective way is probably to be indifferent, and if you are still willing to be angry with him, it proves that you don't hate him very much.
But this time, he brought me unnecessary trouble again, because every time Ms. Zhang called, she would ask: "Qingtong, how are you doing with the young man named Lin Xiaozhu who came last time? Don't delay your studies too much..."
The last time the literature club held a meeting, they arranged the art exhibition. Because the school's art exhibition emphasizes the fragrance of books, the final style is antique. The school requires frugality, and Mo Xiyi emphasized that when making arrangements, functional furnishings should be emphasized first, followed by decorative furnishings.
He classified all kinds of artworks and displayed them in different areas, including sculptures, calligraphy and paintings, souvenirs, handicrafts, etc. He explained his personal ideas in the design of each piece, combined with the suggestions of other students, and finally modified them to come up with the final plan.
He assigned me to the calligraphy and painting group. He probably thought that my major was literature, which was somewhat related to calligraphy and painting.
After arriving at school from home on Saturday, I spent most of the time at the convention center setting up the venue, while he stayed up for several nights, designing the layout and making a list of decorations.
Although he always assigned me tasks before, this was the first time he assigned me a formal task, not just a small task like doing odd jobs. I finally understood the saying: Men who work hard are super handsome!
His figure shuttled throughout the entire venue, telling the staff from time to time what to do and what not to do. He often lowered his head to look at the list in his hand, and then hurried to the next link.
I can hide in the crowd and just watch him without restraint.
The beautiful angles of his face looked slightly thinner under the shadow of the lights, and his dark pupils captured every detail of the venue...
It was very late, after all the calligraphy and paintings were hung and most people had left, my legs were so sore that I could hardly stand. I felt someone gently supporting me from behind, and when I turned around, it was him.
"Senior Mo..."
He pursed his lips slightly: "Thank you for your hard work. You did a good job."
Thank you for your hard work and a job well done… is that considered a compliment?
"Everyone is working so hard, how can I be afraid of being tired?" I always feel a little embarrassed in front of him.
"That's all for today. It's too late. Let's go."
The lights were a little dim, but I always felt that he was particularly gentle today: "Okay."
I had just taken a few steps when I suddenly heard him calling me: "Cheng Qingtong!"
"What's wrong, Senior Mo?"
"Are you tired? If not, I'll take you somewhere."
I agreed to his offer almost immediately.
Many times afterwards, I regretted why I couldn't be more reserved! Reserved!
This world is always magical. When you want to give up, or are exhausted, or have no hope in life, it will start to treat you gently.
At this time, Mo Xiyi was walking beside me, and I was the gentleness of that day, and we walked side by side.
The night was very quiet, with almost no other sounds except for the cars speeding by. I could hear my own heartbeat and his breathing, and I would rather keep walking like this, even if I couldn't reach the end.
In the end, after taking so many turns, I finally arrived at the place he said.
When you push the door open, what catches your eye are a large number of drawings.
"Senior Mo, did you draw all of this?"
"Um."
"So, you designed all these clothes?"
"Um."
I looked at the pictures one by one and found that all the pictures were of girls, and all of them had the same faces.
"She was a girl I once liked. She was very beautiful and kind. But that was a long time ago..."
My fingers, which had been touching the drawings, stopped moving the moment he finished speaking.
I turned my back to him and didn't move.
It turned out that he already had someone he liked, not Wenrou, and certainly not me.
"I liked her, but I never told anyone, not even herself. Until the very end, I was the only one who knew."
I raised my eyes, which had been drooping, and with a puzzled heart, I slowly turned around and saw him facing a painting. The girl in the painting was smiling brightly, holding up her skirt, her eyes full of hope.
His voice was deep and dull. "She only lived to the age of seventeen. She passed away in a car accident. I never used the word 'death' to describe her departure because that word is too scary and too cruel to describe her."
My mind was rumbling and I was overwhelmed with emotions. It was as if the words of comfort were blocked by a cork in the bottle and I couldn't utter a single word.
He picked up the drawing and lit his lighter with a click, and the drawing was only one centimeter off.
"Senior Mo, don't do that!" I quickly stepped forward and snatched the lighter from his hand.
“Ah——” I accidentally burned myself, and the burning pain slowly penetrated into my heart.
Mo Xiyi threw the draft aside, held my hand, and said in a somewhat tough tone: "Why are you still so reckless? You never know how to be careful!"
Maybe because of the dim light, I seemed to see heartache in his eyes.
However, at this moment, what really distressed him was probably that young and naive love and the innocent smile on the face of his first love girl...
Time is vague, it seems like a long time has passed since the summer when I met him, but it also seems like the years are long. In the long river of time, we are tiny and have not gone far.
At noon, while I was setting up the venue, my cell phone rang. I put down the calligraphy and painting in my hand, and saw Cai Qihang's name flashing on the screen, so I answered the call: "Hello, Cai Qihang, why did you think of calling me?"
A hurried voice came from the other end: "You haven't played games recently, I missed you, haha..." followed by a hearty laugh.
"I guess you must have some good news to tell me. Is the game giving away equipment again?"
Cai Qihang replied arrogantly: "That's not good news!"
Hearing him say this, I felt that something big must have happened, otherwise the game would be Cai Qihang’s life.
"Okay, I won't keep you in suspense. He Huanhuan is here, and I'll treat you to lunch at noon. You must come! Oh, and call your good friend Ye Bihan, it will be more fun with more people."
I agreed repeatedly: " Look at how excited you are, calm down and don't get excited."
He Huanhuan was very much like what I imagined, with a pair of big, watery eyes. She had never seen me before, but when she saw me, she rushed up to me and said hello boldly: "Are you Cheng Qingtong? I often hear Cai Qihang talk about you, and I heard that you are very good at playing games." After that, she leaned over to my ear and whispered mysteriously, "When you have time, teach me how to play games."
She was so enthusiastic that I felt a little embarrassed. I should have been the one to play the role of host, but this girl named He Huanhuan took the initiative.
"Hello, He Huanhuan, I often hear Cai Qihang talk about you."
Click——
After I finished speaking, I felt something was wrong, as if someone was here to mess up the place and rob people...
"Not often, actually. I just say it when I'm bored playing games..."
Click——
You only say it when you're bored? Does that mean He Huanhuan is very bored?
Fortunately, Ye Bihan interrupted and helped me out: "I am Qingtong's good friend, my name is Ye Bihan."
Cai Qihang saw that we had been dawdling for a long time and got a little anxious, so he rushed over and said, "Can you please sit down and talk? Why are you being so polite?"
He Huanhuan: "Isn't it okay for me to meet them too late?"
Cai Qihang immediately admitted his mistake: "Okay, okay, my dear wife, I was wrong."
My dear wife, I was wrong... These words sound really sweet.
When will Mo Xiyi say to me, "My dear wife, I was wrong", "My dear wife, I miss you", "My dear wife, good night"?
Cai Qihang was in high spirits throughout the dinner, as if he had never been so happy before. He even picked up some food and poured water for He Huanhuan, and He Huanhuan turned her head and smiled sweetly at him from time to time.
This is really a huge blow to a single person like me!
The cell phone suddenly rang.
"Hey! Qingtong! There's a fire at the dry cleaners... Hurry up..."
"I understand, I'll go back right away!"
I quickly hung up the phone and said to the others, "Cai Qihang, my mother's dry cleaning shop caught fire, I have to go there right away. Ye Bihan, please call 119 for me, I'm leaving first..."
When we arrived at the dry cleaners, the fire had been out. My mother was fine except for the dust all over her face. I could finally put my mind at ease.
When Ye Bihan was rushing from the library to the dormitory, someone handed her a part-time job recruitment flyer, and she took it back and put it on the table. I picked it up and took a look. It was a part-time job at the North Gate Bookstore on campus. Well, it was much better than those waiter jobs in restaurants, just what I wanted.
The owner of the bookstore was a woman in her thirties with very thick eyebrows and small but very bright eyes. She had been smiling since the moment I entered the door.
"Hello, my last name is Zhang, you can call me Sister Zhang." Her humble attitude made me like her more, and she exuded a strong scholarly scent that made me want to get to know her better.
I don't know why, but I felt close to her when I saw her. After chatting for a while, she decided to hire me for a simple reason: "From the first time I saw you, I felt that you were a very smart kid. After chatting with me, I found that you also like reading. I feel relieved to give you this job."
I suppressed my inner ecstasy and smiled knowingly at her: "Sister Zhang, what kind of work do I need to do in my daily life?"
"The job is simple. I just need to sell books and sort them out when no one is around. It's busy when the goods are coming in and out, and you need to count and clear the goods, but most of the time it's pretty leisurely."
I nodded repeatedly: "Thank you, Sister Zhang, I will definitely complete the task well, don't worry."
When I handed my mother the money I earned from my first job, she was almost in tears. She talked about it to everyone she met and praised me for the whole day. I realized later that her smiling face was actually covered with fine wrinkles. My father passed away a long time ago, and she had gone through so many difficulties alone. From now on, I will be her strong support.
At that time, I finally knew that she was proud of me, and she used her youth and love to build a safe haven for me. Although I was a pearl that she raised in her hands, I couldn't be held in her arms for the rest of my life. I had to grow up and become a sharp weapon and a solid shield to protect and take care of her.
When I was taking a shower in the dormitory, Ye Bihan yelled at me outside the door: "Cheng Qingtong, your phone is ringing!"
"Please answer the phone for me. I'll go out and call back later!"
About half a minute later.
Ye Bihan climbed up to the bathroom door again and asked, "Cheng Qingtong, the person who just called was a girl with a very gentle voice, and it was an unfamiliar number. Do you have any impression of her? I don't think I have seen this person before. I know all your friends, so who is this..."
"Oh, I'll call her later, okay? Besides, why didn't you ask her just now? Maybe she's a new customer of Sister Zhang's store..."
At that time, I didn’t know who was looking for me, and I didn’t think much about it. But I didn’t know that the appearance of this person would create a huge wave in my life.
I didn't have the energy to continue rushing, so I quickly dried myself and ran out.
I stared at the strange number for a long time, and I had never seen it before...
I pressed the dial button and the call was picked up as soon as the beep sounded.
"Hello, how are you?" The soft voice was as clear as a mountain stream.
My heart skipped a beat. I seemed to have heard this voice somewhere before, but I couldn't remember where.
"็ Hello Who are you?"
"Cheng Qingtong, I am gentle."
Cheng Qingtong, I am gentle...
My heart suddenly began to panic: "Gentle?" I covered the microphone and grinned at Ye Bihan.
She knew how to be gentle, so at this time she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, her eyes wide open, telling me to answer the phone quickly.
"I'm calling you suddenly. Is it disturbing?" Her voice was so soft that I had to put the receiver close to my ear to hear it.
"No, no. How did you know my phone number? I don't think I told you..."
"Oh, I saw the number from Mo Xiyi's phone. I saved your number because I've seen you before."
I was secretly delighted, probably because Mo Xiyi had my number in his phone.
"I see. Then why are you calling me?"
"Qingtong, I do need your help with something. Can you tell me when Mo Xiyi is free recently? I want to go to school to find him."
I covered the receiver again and said to Ye Bihan, "She said she wanted to know when Mo Xiyi would be free, and wanted to come to the school to find him!" After that, I immediately spoke into the receiver again, and Ye Bihan waved her hands at me, meaning that I must not tell her.
"Wenrou, don't you have a good relationship with Mo Xiyi? Even if you ask, it's not my turn to ask, right? Can't you just call him and solve it yourself?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time before a whisper came: "It's because... Mo Xiyi and I had a quarrel recently... I want to find him in person and talk to him, so I didn't dare to call..." Her voice was hesitant and hesitant, but it made people unable to refuse.
I suddenly realized that I was still a little happy in my heart, after all, I am also Mo Xiyi's friend.
"Is that so? But Senior Mo has a lot of things to do in the Student Union, and the Literature Club always has activities. The schedule can change at any time. Even if I tell you, it might be in vain."
"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you go a few more times."
At this time, Ye Bihan was still waving her hands at me, telling me not to agree to her.
But I still couldn't stop: "Okay, I'll ask for you."
Ye Bihan had a look of disappointment on her face.
"Very good."
These were probably the three clearest words she said on the phone, and at least I could hear them without having to put my hands close to the microphone.
"Then I'll tell you when I have news."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Bihan rolled her eyes at me: "Cheng Qingtong, it's okay if you can't chase Mo Xiyi, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't love you, but at least you don't have to push him into the arms of someone else, right? That vixen on the phone, she speaks in a coquettish voice, are you planning to cry on my shoulder in the future? My shoulder is not always there for you!" After saying that, she turned around angrily and deliberately ignored me.
"They are just having a quarrel, right? I can't take advantage of them, right? Hehehe...hehe..."
Still ignore it.
"Well, Xiaohan, I'll go ask Mo Xiyi, but he probably won't tell me, hehe... hehe..."
Still ignore it.
"Can you let Yi Dan ask?"
"Cheng Qingtong! Are you a fool? Do you have any brains?"
Later I realized that what Ye Bihan said was right. I am a fool, a very stupid fool. I am the biggest fool in the world.
The last news I got was that Mo Xi had nothing to do on Saturday afternoon and was going to the library to look up information.
I was worried that Wenrou wouldn’t be able to find the way and would be lonely waiting alone, so I went to wait with her.
I stayed beside her and kept comforting her: "Let's talk it over later. Let's try to resolve any hatred between the two of you today, so that you don't have to make a wasted trip."
The bangs just covered her gentle forehead, highlighting her dark eyes. She opened and closed her thin lips, and finally whispered: "Qingtong, in fact, Xiyi and I didn't have any quarrels or arguments..."
I forced a smile, confused: "What did you say? There was no quarrel, so you..."
Before I could finish my question, I heard footsteps in the distance.
Mo Xiyi was wearing a dark blue sweatshirt and holding a book in his left hand as he walked towards us.
"Qingtong, you will understand in a moment."
Qingtong, you will understand in a moment... If I had known the ending earlier, I would rather not understand it.
Wenrou walked out and stood one meter away from him. She was wearing a loose blue sweater, and she looked petite and lovely. Her long hair fell softly on her shoulders, dancing in the wind.
"Gentle?" He pursed his lips lightly, revealing a faint smile, a smile rarely seen in normal days.
Sure enough, he was the first to speak.
"Mo Xiyi, we haven't seen each other for a long time." Her voice was gentle and cheerful. Her cheeks were flushed and she blinked her eyes, which made people feel pity for her.
"Xiao Rou, why didn't you tell me you were coming? I could have picked you up." A rare gentle tone... Damn Mo Xiyi, when can you be gentle when talking to me?
"I just didn't tell you on purpose. I wanted to give you a surprise."
It turned out to be a surprise, not a score settlement...
She clasped her hands together, grasping the corner of her clothes, seeming a little shy, but still raised her head and said in the loudest voice: "Mo Xiyi, I want to thank you. Thank you for never forgetting my birthday and lighting the birthday candles for me every birthday; thank you for being my good friend when everyone disliked me; thank you for running with me on your back, letting me know what it feels like to have the summer wind blowing on my face..."
She said thank you so many times, and each thank you was like a thorn in my body, hurting me. How I wish I could say thank you for one of them.
Many people gathered around, all looking at them. No one knew I existed, and no one would remember that someone had said the same words and confessed to the same person on the playground.
He stood there motionless, his left hand tightly grasping the book, the veins on his neck bulging and his brows tightly furrowed.
He always refused silently like this.
Tears welled up in her gentle eyes, and it seemed that a slight blink would burst her tears. Her cheeks, which had just been rosy, were now pale. Her voice was trembling: "Mo Xiyi, if you are willing to love me, please come over and give me a hug, okay?"
My heart was in my throat.
The people around were constantly making noise, and the noise was so loud that it made my head buzz.
One step... two steps... he moved closer to her little by little and pulled her into his arms.
At that moment, she cried with joy and leaned on his chest. I clearly saw that the moment she closed her eyes, tears burst out. His arms locked her shoulders tightly, and his chin touched her forehead...
Afterwards, everything in front of my eyes became blurry.
There was applause all around, and I hid behind a big tree, sliding down and sitting down. I hugged my shoulders and huddled my body, not wanting anyone to see me.
Wenrou, didn’t you say you were here to resolve conflicts?
Mo Xiyi, didn’t you say that you never believed in love?
Didn't you say that the girl you loved was dead?
Cheng Qingtong, you are so stupid!
you are silly!
You are the biggest fool in the world!
I just felt the temperature was getting lower and lower. When I realized that everyone had left, I realized that it was almost dark.
My eyes hurt so much that I didn't want to say anything extra. I just wanted to go home.
I just want to go home...
Passing by a supermarket, I bought some food and beer. After walking a few steps, I felt extremely tired. I simply sat on the side of the road, shook the beer can, opened it with a hiss, and let it splash out.
The cold liquid soaked my tongue, and it rolled around on the tip of my tongue, rolling up waves of foam. I didn't drink much alcohol, so I thought it was bitter and magical.
After I gulped it down, it was no longer cold, but just a burning sensation in my stomach. I no longer felt cold and no longer had to fear the cold.
As long as you have it, you will feel warm...
I staggered to the bus stop, trying to catch the last bus home, but a group of people appeared from nowhere and kept yelling in my ears. Then I felt someone pulling my backpack hard, and my body was shaking back and forth. I couldn't find my center of gravity no matter how hard I tried to stand.
"What do you do?" I heard a boy's voice, which sounded familiar.
After that, those who tried desperately to pull me down stopped pulling me. I turned my head to look at the boy and smiled at him very happily: "Mo Xiyi, you are here? I am not drunk..."
His body tilted and the sky became dark.
When I woke up, everything in front of me was strange. The sun shone through the big window, bright and dazzling. I turned around and saw a photo of a single person on the bedside table - Lin Xiaozhu.
I got out of bed and walked around. The more I walked, the more I felt something was wrong: How did I get here? Why was I here?
My memory probably stopped when I was waiting for the bus, and I can't remember it no matter how hard I try.
The door creaked open and Lin Xiaozhu came in with soy milk and fried dough sticks.
"You're awake. How are you? Does your head still hurt?"
I shook my head and asked, "Lin Xiaozhu, why am I here? What did you do to me?"
He curled his lips and said, "Hey, there are many girls who are willing to devote themselves to me, so stop being so conceited."
I rolled my eyes at him and continued to ask, "Then why did I end up here?"
"Thank God you're here. If it weren't for me, you would have lost everything. But..."
"But what?"
"But you look ordinary, and your wealth is even more ordinary, so it's only natural that you can survive safely."
"Lin Xiaozhu!"
"Okay, hurry up and have breakfast, and then do whatever you need to do after that. It's not worth it just for a Moshiyi!"
Mo Xi's three words woke me up again. I suppressed my temper and asked, "Do you really think that I shouldn't like him?"
"Since it is destined to have no result and you are destined to get hurt, why do you insist on it? Isn't it better to be like me? Free and not trapped by love! In fact, you can do it too."
"I can do that, too?"
He moved his face closer to mine, almost touching mine: "Try to kiss me!"
What is he going to do?
I was almost petrified instantly and stood there in a daze.
"Hurry up, what are you standing there for!" he urged again and again.
I continued to dawdle.
I kept doing this for about a minute without any progress, so I gave up: "No, I can't do it. Lin Xiaozhu, you can kiss so many people without any hesitation every day, you are amazing!"
"Cheng Qingtong, you are just too stubborn. What is so good about Mo Xiyi? Do you know it in your heart?"
"Stop talking. It's useless for you to say anything."
In the following days, I lived in the house that Lin Xiaozhu rented. He would come up with his own famous sayings from time to time, asking me to give up Mo Xiyi. I heard it so many times that I gradually became numb. It's like telling the same joke to someone all the time. If you tell it so many times, you won't laugh anymore.
That day, I was sitting in front of the window basking in the sun when my cell phone rang. It was Ye Bihan.
After the call was connected, it was a stranger who spoke: "Are you Ye Bihan's friend Cheng Qingtong?"
I had a vague feeling of foreboding: "Yes, who are you?"
"This is ×× Hospital. Your friend is being treated here. Is it convenient for you to come over?"
I panicked and spoke incoherently, "It's convenient! I...I...I...I'll go right away!"
Lin Xiaozhu was not at home, so I picked up my coat and ran straight to the hospital.
When Ye Bihan was found, she had already woken up, her face was pale, and she was lying on the hospital bed with an IV drip.
I rushed to her and asked anxiously, "Xiao Han, what happened to you? Why are you in the hospital for no reason?"
She turned her face away, tears streaming down her cheeks.
My heart suddenly sank: "What's going on? What happened? Don't cry, tell me clearly!"
Ye Bihan wiped her tears and said aggrievedly: "Don't ask, I came to you because I want you to take me out of the hospital."
"How can you be discharged from the hospital in this state? You can't leave! Tell me clearly what happened."
Only then did she stop crying.
I helped her sit up. There was hatred in her eyes. This hatred scared me and made me panic, because I had never seen Ye Bihan so angry.
She is a gentle and reserved girl, and only acts aggressively in front of me. Now that this matter has made her grit her teeth, it must be no small matter.
"That day, Yi Dan sent me a text message and asked me to play cards. He said there were a lot of people going together, so he asked me to join in the fun. He booked the address at the hotel, and I didn't think much about it..."
When she was halfway through her speech, I already realized the seriousness of the matter, so I listened to her in silence without interrupting her.
"When I arrived, I told the hotel waitress to bring me a bottle of drink later, and then I went to the room, but I only saw Yi Dan."
She looked up at me, as if waiting for me to scold her for being careless.
I didn't say anything, I just let her continue.
"Yi Dan said that other people would be here soon and asked me to drink tea first. But who could have thought that he put medicine in the tea. After drinking it, I felt drowsy. At that time, I realized that something was wrong, so I threw the teacup to the ground. Fortunately, I had asked the waitress for a drink before. When she was delivering the drink, she heard something wrong inside and rushed in. That's how everything turned out..."
I was so angry that I was spinning around in circles: "Ye Bihan, what can I say to you! Playing cards, huh, do you need to go to a hotel to play cards? Don't you think about it yourself? Yi Dan looks decent at ordinary times, but he is actually selfish, insidious and cunning. Not only do you not know how to identify him, but you also jump into his fire pit!"
"I know I was wrong..."
"Have you called the police? A beast like him should be handed over to the police! I don't believe that no one can take care of him? I was only away from you for a few days and something like this happened to you. Can you let me rest easy?"
Ye Bihan lowered her head, hesitating and saying nothing.
"I'm asking you, have you called the police?"
She sat up, frowning, eyes wide open: "Cheng Qingtong, how do you want me to call the police about this? How can I live my life if this gets out?"
I was stunned and found that I was only thinking about revenge, but I didn't think that if this matter got out, it would be very disadvantageous to Ye Bihan.
"This Yi Dan must have guessed that we wouldn't dare to call the police, so he dared to do such a thing. Well, don't worry, leave this matter to me, I will help you handle it."
"Qingtong, where have you been these days? Why don't you come back to the dormitory? Did you go home?"
I told her about what happened in the past few days.
She came closer to me with some concern and hugged me with her arms.
I hugged her back and whispered in her ear, "We really are conjoined twins... But it's okay, we're all in this together."
"Qingtong, let's forget about Yi Dan's matter. I don't want to make it a big deal, nor do I want to involve you again. What if he has evil intentions towards you again? You must not wade into this muddy water. Safety first..."
"Okay, have a good rest. I'll come to see you in the evening. Don't run around."
After settling her down, I left the hospital.
Suddenly, I felt that this sky was no longer the sky I saw before. Things and people have changed. Everything is different.
Yi Dan harmed Ye Bihan and is Ye Bihan's enemy. Ye Bihan is my best friend, so it is obvious that Yi Dan is my enemy, and Yi Dan is Mo Xiyi's friend!
Then, Moshiyi is my enemy!
It only takes a moment for someone you love to become your enemy.
How can I balance such a huge gap? And which side will he stand on?
Or maybe he just won't choose which side to stand on. He is such a lofty person that he never bothers to join our disputes. For him, work, study and taking care of his mother are the most important things in his life.
What am I? Insignificant, not worth mentioning.
But what I absolutely cannot tolerate is that Yi Dan actually bullied Ye Bihan. From childhood to adulthood, I have never let anyone hurt her. Even if she is hurt, I will get it back tenfold. I absolutely cannot allow her to get hurt around me.
