Chapter 58 – Showdown

Do you like me?

The police’s description of the case is simple and clear: Zhou Yi’s parents encountered a gang of criminals fleeing from abroad on the way to work. When the two fled in a hurry, Dai Lin’s father, Dai Yong, who was driving by fortunately, came to the rescue.

They were supposed to be grateful to Dai Yong, but after being chased by those people, they abandoned Dai Yong and ran for their own lives. In the end, Dai Yong, who was driving a truck with too big a goal, was killed, and he himself also ended up in the end of “the wicked have their own day”. , was pushed all the way into the cliff by an unmanned truck.

After Zhou Yi listened, he only said three words, “Impossible…”

Although the Zhou Ming and Ruan Zhongyi in her memory were not benevolent heroes, they would definitely not do such unconscionable things as revenge.

Zhou Yi forced himself to calm down from the shocking news, and asked the police to check the cameras and portable recorders of Zhou Ming and Ruan Zhongyi.

These things are more important than their lives, and they stay with them 24 hours a day, so they must have captured something.

The reply from the police was, “When the body was found, your parents had nothing on them, and even the memory card of the driving recorder in Dai Yong’s car was pulled out. Now the only person who can judge the situation at that time is Dai Yong. A recording provided by the trailer rental company.”

In order to regulate the behavior of drivers, the company will install monitoring equipment in the cockpits of its own vehicles and affiliated vehicles. Drivers can be monitored in real time for driving behavior and driving trajectory as long as they insert the card. They can also initiate voice calls to the platform for help in case of emergency.

That speech took place after the three of them were caught up, and the total length was only about twenty seconds, and the human voice was only a few words of chat.

“You can’t get out of the car now.” Dai Yong begged, his voice very panicked.

Zhou Ming yelled, “If you don’t get out of the car, you will die!”

Then came the sound of Zhou Ming telling Ruan Zhongyi to jump off the car.

He himself followed.

Ten seconds later, harsh brakes and violent impacts sounded in the voice, and everything returned to dead silence.

Since Dai Yong’s character is honest and weak, he can’t talk about loyalty, and he didn’t have any interaction with Zhou Ming and his wife before, so the police deduced according to the common sense that people will protect themselves first in a crisis. Ming and his wife could stay and help him, but they turned into “The Farmer and the Snake” unexpectedly.

And the help he initiated to the platform not only failed to save himself, but also ruined the friendship between Dai Lin and Zhou Yi.

Dai Lin’s mother ran away with others when she was very young because she couldn’t bear Dai Yong’s weakness and incompetence, leaving father and daughter to depend on each other for life, but they were also kind and filial, never blushing.

Dai Lin loved this father deeply.

Although Zhou Yi is also a very important existence in her life, but compared with Dai Yong who is related by blood, she is not so special.

In particular, Zhou Yi never thought that her parents would do that kind of thing.

“Then why did my dad die?! He is cowardly, he just wants your parents to help him, but they don’t, they only care about themselves!”

Dai Lin asked hysterically, and then said weakly: “Xiao Jiu, I’m the only relative, how do you want me to face you in the future?”

Later, when Dai Lin had already retreated to the bottom line and asked Zhou Yi to bow her head and apologize in front of Dai Yong’s grave for her parents, so that she could act as if nothing had happened and continue to be friends with her, Zhou Yi still refused to give in.

Dai Lin left without looking back.

Don’t go to and from school with Zhou Yi, don’t need her to give lectures, don’t accept any advances from her, and return to a life of one person.

At the end of April, the people who were lured into the police station by Zhou Yi came out after serving their sentences and found Dai Lin again.

New and old hatred, Dai Lin’s life can be imagined.

By chance, Zhou Yi discovered that Dai Lin was being pushed and pushed by them on the main road, she immediately threw down her bicycle, ran to Dai Lin to block her, and was completely driven into the abyss by her cold words.

“Zhou Yi, we have never been the same from the beginning to the end. You are popular, you study well, you are beautiful, and you have money. Who among the teachers and classmates in No. 1 Middle School does not look towards you and like you?”

“Do you know how uncomfortable it is every time I go to the first class to find you? It seems that everyone is looking at me and laughing at me for not being able to control myself. I feel ashamed and want to find a crack in the ground, but you have to use every one of them. You can hear a voice calling my name.”

“Is it really that warm and cheerful? I just feel suffocated.”

“I was born to live in the shadow of top students like you, not to move, not to make a sound, so that I can find a chance to breathe.”

“Zhou Yi, please, don’t disturb my life anymore, okay?”

“…” After that, Zhou Yi did not appear in front of Dai Lin again.

She quietly followed where Dai Lin could not see, and blocked the revenge of those people one by one for her. The countless bruises were hidden under the clothes, and the pain made her sleepless all night.

She also stopped taking classes seriously, and used all the good painting skills she learned in the Children’s Palace to draw those obscure and terrifying tattoo manuscripts.

Soon, Zhou Yi changed from a top student in Dai Lin’s mouth to a problem student who caused headaches for all the teachers.

It doesn’t matter to her, anyway, Zhou Ming and Ruan Zhongyi are gone, she doesn’t need to follow in anyone’s footsteps anymore, just let it be a day.

The speculations and discussions around her seemed to be non-existent to Zhou Yi, and she never paid attention to them.

It wasn’t until Zhou Ming and Ruan Zhongyien avenged their revenge that the rumors that Dai Lin’s father was killed suddenly spread in the school. She hit someone and almost got a major demerit.

It was already the end of May at that time, and the countdown to the college entrance examination had turned into single digits.

Zhou Yi is surrounded by such rumors every day, and his whole body is full of hostility.

The class teacher was afraid that the fight would happen again, so he asked the class leader to notify her to go to the office to talk to her.

But just before that, Dai Lin came over first.

At that time, the evening self-study was over, and the corridor was empty and silent.

Standing opposite Zhou Yi, Dai Lin smiled and said to her as if nothing had happened: “Xiao Jiu, I know you have been protecting me from behind, but I can’t get over the hurdle in my heart, so I can only pretend not to see it. .I’m really tired. I’m leaving.”

Zhou Yi blurted out, “Where are you going?!”

“Go to a place where no one bullies me. During this period, I can dream every day that they want to **** me. This kind of life is too difficult.”

“Call the police! We can call the police!”

“What about after calling the police? Another two years? What about two years later? They’re only going to get worse.”

“There will be a way.”

“I can’t hold it anymore.” Dai Lin leaned sideways on the fence, and reached out to grab the invisible air, “The rumors came from those people. Before I leave, I will clarify for you, and I will pay you back for protecting me.” Favors, as for the others, Xiao Jiu, so be it.

I’m gone, the matter is over, you don’t have to think of ways to make up for it. You are born with a lovable face, no matter how many classes you skip, no matter how many tattoos you draw, you will not be a really bad student. “

Zhou Yi’s tricks were seen through, and he was completely panicked, “What do you want to do?”

Dai Lin didn’t speak, and after looking at Zhou Yi motionlessly for a long time, she hugged her vigorously, and then left quickly.

Zhou Yi stood there in a daze, his mind went blank.

When she finally realized that she was about to chase, a black figure quickly fell from the corner of her eye and landed on the open space in front of the teaching building.

Almost at the same time, the security guards who were patrolling past shouted from below, “Someone jumped off the building!”

That night, Zhou Yi got a suicide note from the head teacher of class 12, in which Dai Lin clearly wrote the reason for her choice—

I can’t continue to bear the bullying from the people in No. 7 Middle School, and I can’t accept that my friends are surrounded by unwarranted rumors because of my weakness.

For Zhou Yi, she wrote a single line at the end, “Xiao Jiu, meeting you is the luckiest thing in my life, thank you.”

Dai Lin punished those people in the most extreme way, and restored Zhou Yi’s life to peace again, but how could Zhou Yi, who watched her jump with her own eyes, have the courage to start again?

With the help of the old couple from the newspaper office, she sent Dai Lin to the cemetery, and then walked back step by step from the path where they had been drenched in the rain together. She stood at the head teacher’s desk and listened to her persuasion and enlightenment, and then calmly opened her clothes. He pointed at the neck that was scratched by Dai Lin’s hasty hug, and asked her, “If you pass the exam, will you stop having these things?”

Zhou Yi knew in his heart that the injury would heal without leaving any traces, but what about the things behind it?

It is difficult to come up with a definite answer based on her limited life experience, so she has to find someone to ask.

The class teacher told her to change the place.

She has trusted the teacher since she was a child, and confirmed with her with trepidation and small hopes, “Teacher, can you guarantee it? If you can guarantee that in another place, no one will know who Zhou Yi is, can she start again?”

The teacher can’t guarantee it.

Zhou Yi had no choice but to leave disappointed.

With only her ID card, 200 yuan and a small suitcase containing a small amount of the past, she boarded a recent high-speed train and escaped from the city she was born and raised in, which now made her unable to face.

The end point of that high-speed train is Jiangping.

Zhou Yi was still underage at that time and could not find a job that could support him.

After spending all the money on her body, she found a place where no one would find her and starved.

That place is the garbage dump opposite Buddha Demon. In summer, the smell is so bad that everyone comes and goes there in a hurry, and it is not easy to find Zhou Yi.

Yang Ling was different. She would occasionally take some big bones from the steamed meat shop at Dongxiangkou to feed the stray dogs in the garbage dump.

If this were not the case, Zhou Yi’s ending would probably be as Tang Yuanzhou said: he came without a sound, and left with a shocking effect—after the police confirmed his death, he was dragged away by the car of the funeral parlor.

Zhou Yi hadn’t mentioned this past to anyone for a long time, she was holding the handle of the spoon tightly, her eyes were confused and painful.

Mu Qinglin stood beside her, her emotions fluctuating violently.

It turned out that the layer upon layer of bruises on Tang Yuanzhou’s mouth were left behind by Zhou Yi who silently followed Dai Lin to protect her.

It turned out that Dai Lin had personally left those small wounds that almost killed her.

It turned out that she jumped off the building and ran to the hospital because of Yao Xiaoqi, whom she had never met before, because she saw it with her own eyes in another place.

It turned out that Zhou Yi once fell from the sky to the bottom.

Mu Qinglin’s current situation is actually not suitable for listening to this kind of thing. Every sentence that comes out of Zhou Yi’s mouth seems to be scratching her nerves. It is very stimulating, but she really persisted, and she suddenly felt very lucky. .

Although she couldn’t go back to the time when Zhou Yi was most helpless to help her, at least she did something for her later, and now she can still find ways to comfort her.

“Xiao Jiu, there is nothing wrong with you here.” Mu Qinglin said affirmatively, “Including your steadfast defense of your parents.”

Zhou Yi’s voice was low and hoarse, “But everyone says they are ungrateful and bad people.”

“Different positions, different opinions, no one is wrong. From your point of view, if you easily change your insistence on your parents because of a few gossips from others, it is really a big mistake.”

Mu Qinglin sat down beside the bed, held Zhou Yi’s hand that was sore and aching due to excessive force, and said softly: “Xiao Jiu, although you are not wrong, but you have failed Dai Lin’s heart.”

When Zhou Yi heard this name, he subconsciously clenched Mu Qinglin’s hand, his eyes turned red.

Mu Qinglin was suffocated by her look, and her voice lowered, “She looked for you before leaving, which means letting go; she traded herself for your peaceful life, which is friendship; she said thank you, Xiao Jiu, she is a strange I passed you because I blamed you for saying something against my will, but in the end she was more grateful to you. You are so smart, you should be able to understand what she meant, but you wasted two full years in Red Gate Alley. “

“I know, but…” Zhou Yi’s eyes were red, and he said with a choked throat, “It seems that something has been pulling behind him, not daring to move.”

No one understands this feeling of being pulled by the past better than Mu Qinglin. She is not even as good as Zhou Yi. Zhou Yi just escaped for a while, and now she has stood in the sun again, and she…

Mu Qinglin breathed out silently, looked into Zhou Yi’s eyes and said, “Xiao Jiu, I can guarantee what your class teacher cannot promise you. I, Mu Qinglin, I assure you, no matter where you are, you It’s you, there’s no need to start over.”

“What about my parents? After the rumors spread, everyone stayed away from me, and my name changed from Zhou Yi to the daughter of that person.”

Zhou Yi stepped on the suspended steel wire, and asked Mu Qinglin cautiously, “Sister, do you despise me?”

Mu Qing felt a pain in her heart, “Didn’t I just say that you are you, sometimes you are angry, but there is no major fault, why should I despise you?”

Zhou Yi was stunned, and after confirming again and again that Mu Qinglin didn’t have any expression of reluctance on his face when he spoke, he wept with joy.

The inferiority complex brought about by this question has been pressing in her heart since the second she found out that she likes Mu Qinglin. Can live.

She moved her foot on the steel wire, but instead of walking down, she put the other foot on it.

“Do you like that man on the phone?” Zhou Yi asked.

Mu Qinglin was slightly taken aback, “Chen Chao?” The emotional conversation between them only involved Chen Chao.

Zhou Yi shook his head, “I don’t know what his name is.”

So why ask? Mu Qinglin wanted to say this, but when the words reached his mouth, he was speechless for a few seconds, and said, “I don’t like it…”

The light flashed through Zhou Yi’s eyes, and she carefully suppressed most of it, and the part that flowed out hit Mu Qinglin’s eyes, and she suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.

This bottomless panic only lasted for a short time, and Zhou Yi said again, “Then do you like me?”

Mu Qinglin’s eyes trembled, and his trembling voice could not be controlled.

Of course she likes it, she has liked it a long time ago, and it didn’t fade away with time as expected at the time, but instead increased day by day in passive intersections.

She concluded that with Zhou Yi’s current state of mind, as long as she nodded, Zhou Yi’s life would be hers for the rest of her life.

but…

Are you really willing to drag her who just crawled out of one pit into another deeper pit?

That hole may never be filled.

Mu Qinglin’s silence chilled Zhou Yi’s heart, and soon, she persisted with her eyes full, and said decisively: “It doesn’t matter if you don’t like it now, I can chase after you, you can wait, and one day, I will become the one you like. that way.”

“Xiao Jiu…” Mu Qinglin hesitated to speak for a moment, then said weakly, “Don’t do this.”

“Don’t do that? Is it difficult for others?” Zhou Yi laughed, lowered his head, and said to himself: “Sister, you are the one who treats me well in this world. I should be grateful to you, not embarrassing you, but… “

Zhou Yi paused for a few seconds, raised his head, his eyes were red, “Ingratitude is probably really inherited.”
