At the end of the side story
Tai Xingyu was surprised by Jiang Xiaokui's firm attitude, and of course asked her why she did it.
"There are three reasons," she said. One is that my dad is a public figure and is often smeared by inexplicable people, and I know how disgusting it is to be inexplicably smeared. The second is that my mom is a journalist, and I want to be as brave as she is and speak up for the facts like she does.
She didn't say the third one right away, Tai Xingyu asked her: What about the third one?
She said: I have also been bullied at school.
She didn't finish the rest of the sentence. In fact, what she thought in her heart was - I was also bullied on campus, and at that time, there was a person who stood up and protected me without hesitation, he beat someone for me, accompanied me to change schools, and dragged me out of the quagmire of low self-esteem and self-doubt. Of course, I shouldn't be able to do that for you who I don't know well, but I'll definitely do what he does.
Tai Xingyu replied to her: Okay, let's meet.
A few days later, he returned to school and met Jiang Xiaokui outside of school.
As soon as the two sat down facing each other in their seats, he said, "Actually, I don't need you to say anything for me, if I can say this, I will say it myself." ”
"Why can't you say that?"
Tai Xingyu paused and said, "That senior sister is indeed my very good friend, and the person I beat is indeed her boyfriend." Senpai told me that the bastard had been PUA her and wanted me to come forward and talk to the bastard. When I talked to him, he had a very bad attitude, and he kept saying that kind of insulting thing about the senior sister, and I couldn't get angry, so I beat him. ”
After listening to his narration, Jiang Xiaokui asked him, "Is there anything wrong with this? Why can't you tell the truth?" Since Senior Sister is your friend, she can also help you testify. ”
Tai Xingyu shook his head, "It's useless, Senior Sister was poisoned too deeply, and then I was fooled by that bastard and believed him again, and told me that if I were going to publicly discredit that bastard, she would come out and deny all my claims." ”
"She'......"
"Yes, a rake. Tai Xingyu smiled self-deprecatingly, "So I advise you to be careful when you run out to help me, be careful that I will also bite back." ”
"......" Jiang Xiaokui rolled her eyes, but she admired him for being in the mood to joke at this time.
"So you're socially dead now?" she asked, not too seriously, learning from his attitude.
"I'm probably going to die. Tai Xingyu leaned back and said such a sentence, and through the tone, it was difficult for Jiang Xiaokui to judge whether he was serious or not.
Two days later, Jiang Xiaokui saw the news on the Internet that Tai Xingyu fell down when he walked the catwalk, and the comments below were all scolding him for being unprofessional. There are also several comments from students at their school in the hot comment area, who said that Tai Xingyu was in the "negative news" at school, criticizing him for not only his poor professional ability, but also his poor character.
Jiang Xiaokui was very angry, and typed a lot of words to restore the past, but looking at the overwhelming rumors, she realized that she really had no way to do this little power.
She deleted the words she typed and asked Tai Xingyu: What's the matter with you, why did you fall that day?
Tai Xingyu did not reply.
She sighed and didn't ask any more questions.
As a result, as soon as he exited the chat interface with him, Jiang Xiaokui saw a frying in the campus group, and everyone was saying that Tai Xingyu was standing by the window on the top floor of the library and was about to jump off the building.
Jiang Xiaokui's brain was down for a second, and then he hurriedly ran to the library.
The top floor of the library was already full of people on the inside and outside of the library, Jiang Xiaokui squeezed in with all her strength, and shouted at Tai Xingyu by the window, "Tai Xingyu, what are you going to do!"
But she couldn't stop him.
He was like a kite with a broken string, and just like that, he fell downstairs in front of her eyes.
The crowd that was originally gathered here to watch the lively commotion, Jiang Xiaokui felt that her legs began to weaken, she sat on the ground all of a sudden, and the voices in her ears all turned into a buzzing sound like mosquitoes, and she couldn't hear it clearly.
After that day, the news broke that Tai Xingyu had "smiling depression", and the real reason why he didn't go to school for the first time was not because he was busy with work, but because he had to cooperate with the hospital's treatment while working.
Fortunately, the floor of the library is not particularly high, and Tai Xingyu, who jumped off the building, finally picked up a life. His matter was repeatedly reported by major media, Jiang Xiaokui resolutely came out to speak out, and after the efforts of her and several conscientious media, Tai Xingyu was finally returned to his innocence.
But when Jiang Xiaokui went to the hospital to see him, he told Jiang Xiaokui, "Actually, when I opened my eyes again, I realized that I didn't care what they said at all." When I was struggling with whether I really wanted to jump, I was thinking, as long as someone stopped me, I wouldn't jump. ”
Jiang Xiaokui asked him with a smile, "So what? I'm not a human?"
Tai Xingyu also smiled, "I was already in mid-air when I heard your shout." ”
It was obviously not a happy topic, but they laughed heartlessly in the hospital room. Fortunately, Tai Xingyu lives in a single ward and will not make noise to others.
When he had laughed enough, Tai Xingyu asked Jiang Xiaokui, "Where did you say you were from before?"
"City B. ”
"No, I mean your hometown. ”
"I was indeed born in City B, but the elders of my family are all in City C. ”
"Yes, City C. Tai Xingyu nodded, "I should be able to rest for a long time after that, you can take me to the C Brigade during the holidays." ”
Jiang Xiaokui pointed to his plaster leg, "City C is full of mountains, you want me to carry you like this?"
They all laughed again.
Later, when Jiang Xiaokui was on summer vacation, he still took Tai Xingyu to City C together.
Tai Xingyu was on crutches, it was very inconvenient to walk, and the weather was hot, so they soon found it difficult to walk.
Jiang Xiaokui took him into a small restaurant, she said, "This restaurant has been open for many years, and every time I come to City C, my mother must take me to eat." ”
They ordered some food and drink at random, and sat here chatting.
Tai Xingyu said, "Don't look at me always smiling, in fact, I'm not very good at dealing with people, and I almost don't have any friends." ”
Jiang Xiaokui nodded, "It's a coincidence." I don't have any friends, I just had a very good friend before, but unfortunately, he was a boy, and then he fell in love and stopped playing with me. ”
Tai Xingyu raised his eyebrows, "So you shouldn't want to make friends of the opposite sex now, right?"
Jiang Xiaokui wanted to tease him, so he nodded, "Yes, there are too many unstable factors, where does pure friendship come from between the opposite sex." ”
"Yes, that's what I thought, too. Tai Xingyu tapped the glass in front of him with his index finger, "So, Jiang Xiaokui, you still be my girlfriend, right?"
Jiang Xiaokui looked at him with wide eyes, and he didn't shy away from looking back. After glaring at each other for a while, Jiang Xiaokui smiled first.
She said, "No, I don't want to be in a relationship with someone I don't know well." ”
"We're not very acquainted with each other? ”
“...... You say it as if I pushed you down. ”
Tai Xingyu laughed, "Okay, then let's start with friends first, so that even if we fail, we can still be friends for life." ”
Jiang Xiaokui raised her eyes to look at him with her face on her back, "Okay, it's approved." ”
