Li Ye hadn't shown up at school for three days, and he didn't answer the phone. I remembered his Weibo, so I left him a message on WeChat.
"Li Ye, where are you?"
I thought there wouldn't be any news right away, but unexpectedly I got a voice message right after I sent the message.
"Ping An, are you worried about me? Don't you hate me anymore?"
I didn't know how to answer him. I thought I would never talk to him again, but I didn't expect that I was still worried about him. When I was hesitating, he sent me another message: "Ping An, you will never forgive me, right? I don't dare to beg you to forgive me. Don't worry about me, just take care of yourself."
"Wait a minute, Li Ye, where are you? Are you okay now? Can you tell me what is going on? Why are you hiding? Does Jingyan's matter really have anything to do with you?" I replied to him hurriedly. I had a lot of questions to ask him.
"I... I didn't mean that. I just wanted to scare her. I don't want her to bother me, and I don't want her to cause trouble for you." Li Ye answered nervously, but he didn't tell me where he was.
"So you did something stupid like this? Even if she's not a friend, she's still a classmate!"
"I really just wanted to scare her, I didn't think about those beasts... I'm sorry Jingyan. I'm sorry for you, Ping'an! I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Li Ye kept apologizing in a crying voice.
"Can you please come back? Those guys will betray you, so go and turn yourself in..." I wanted to ask him to come back, I didn't want him to live in hiding.
After WeChat was silent for five minutes, the message came again. Li Ye's voice was a little hoarse: "Ping An, I don't want to go to jail."
I wanted to persuade him again, but the WeChat message I sent fell on deaf ears and received no response.
Half a month passed and there was no news from the police or Li Ye.
I have no news of him either, and no one knows where he has gone.
There was another empty seat in the classroom, Li Ye.
I went to see Song Jingyan. Perhaps I still regarded her as a friend in my heart. We had quarreled before, but we always made up. But this time, perhaps we were two points on a line, extending in different directions and would never intersect again.
Jingyan's mother kept wiping away her tears, her weak shoulders trembling: "An'an, my Yanyan is ruined like this... What on earth is going on? Last time she was kidnapped, this time it's... An'an, what happened to Yanyan, why does all these things happen to her?"
"Why are young people nowadays so bad! What should Yanyan do?"
Jingyan's house is a villa, and I walked around for a while before I saw her.
"What? Are you here to laugh at me?" Song Jingyan sat on the swing, her legs swinging gently up and down. She didn't even look at me, and her words were full of coldness.
"Song Jingyan, do we have to be like this?" I pulled the swaying swing rope, "Yanyan, I still like to call you Yanyan. I won't laugh at you, because I don't know why I should laugh at you."
She got off the swing and said, "Yi Ping'an, I always thought I was better than you. They all said I was the 'campus beauty'. They praised me, saying I was pretty and smart and that they liked me. But now I have become a 'joke', and you are the only one who came to see me. Isn't this a kind of irony?"
I didn't say anything, I knew Jingyan needed to talk. When that happened, Song Jingyan had a mental breakdown, and now she has finally calmed down, I don't want to provoke her.
"Yi Ping'an, actually from the beginning I didn't really consider you as a friend. You are not as good as me in every way. I played with you because I thought you were special. You dared to hit a male classmate, but you didn't even dare to confess your love to someone."
"After knowing you for a long time, I have become accustomed to you, accustomed to you being like a green leaf that sets off my flower. Gu Feng is right, I don't take you as seriously as you take me, but it was you who risked your life to save me when I was kidnapped... "
"Jingyan, there's no need for us to talk about this. It's good enough that we understand now. I don't blame you, and you don't blame me."
"An An, you said you don't blame me?" Song Jingyan's eyes sparkled when he heard me say that. "But, when your father passed away, and He Xubei... I wasn't by your side, and I treated you like that because of Li Ye."
"I think I'm also wrong... When you distanced yourself from me, I also wanted to really give up my friendship with you. Now, all of this is over." I didn't expect Jingyan to be like a different person now. Perhaps some painful experiences really can make people grow up in an instant.
"An An, my father is sending me abroad. I originally planned to go after I finish the college entrance examination, but now, I can't stay in school anymore..."
Jingyan's father wanted her to go to the United States, and she might not come back for a long time. I didn't see her off on the day she left, and I thought that this might be the last time we would see each other again.
When Jingyan left, she said that if she saw Li Ye asking me to tell him, she might forgive him.
At that moment, I believed that Song Jingyan really liked Li Ye.
