046. Trading

Chen Peng came to the law firm to look for me again, and I sat at my desk and looked at him standing there with his head bowed.

"Talk, it's been more than ten minutes since you came in, you can't say a word, what's the matter?" I yelled impatiently.

This kid is not quite right today, Chen Peng, who has always been lively and cheerful, what is wrong today, from the time he entered the house to find me, he didn't say a word, just lowered his head and kept looking at the desktop, and his hand was buttoned back and forth on the table.

I yelled, he was just stunned for a moment, and then continued his action of buttoning the table, I angrily slapped his hand hard, and with a "snap" sound, the back of his hand turned red, and I went up and rubbed it in distress.

He still didn't say a word, I was really angry, picked up my backpack and pulled him out of the law firm.

Sitting in the air-conditioned café, I quietly looked at Chen Peng, who was sitting opposite, this kid is very abnormal today.

"Tell me, what's going on?" I took a sip of coffee and looked up at him.

"Sister, I really don't know how to say it, in fact, I just want you to help me today, but I don't know how to say it, how to say it, so you don't laugh at me?" Chen Peng finally spoke, but looking at his embarrassed appearance, I laughed, it turned out that this kid was worried about his girlfriend, no wonder he was embarrassed.

"Hmmm! Well! I cleared my throat and stretched out my hand to him, "Could I please tell me about my sister, what are the specific matters for me to help?" ”

"Sister, don't laugh at me, I'm almost annoyed." Chen Peng looked at me unhappily, I could see his anxiety in his eyes, so I put away my smile and looked at him sternly and raised my eyebrows, "Tell me, what's going on." ”

"It's my girlfriend, he's a student at H University of Technology, and I'm not from the same school, she's been very bad lately, I'm afraid, she always says that someone is following her, but I go to school every day to pick her up, and I don't find anything, she still says that someone is following her, and there seems to be something wrong mentally." Chen Peng sighed.

"Has anything happened to her lately?" I pouted, but how could she judge this situation?

"There is one thing, that is, a girl in their school committed suicide by jumping off a building, and she is in the same department." Chen Peng thought for a moment and answered.

"What's that girl's relationship with your girlfriend?" I seem to get the idea.

"It's not great, I haven't heard her mention that girl in front of me." Chen Peng shook his head.

"It's not a way for us to sit here and guess, is she free now? Can I meet her? I smiled.

"Oh, yesterday he wasn't in good spirits, he fell down when he went downstairs, and he was resting at home." Chen Peng smiled a little shyly.

"Call her to come, if she's not very strict." I laughed at his expression, a rich boy, it turned out to be a pure little boy.

"yes, okay." Chen Peng picked up the phone as he spoke, and I turned my head to the window, looking at the scenery outside the window, here I have been here with Lin Haoran, that is, the time I saw Liu Wei, after two or three months, this place has not changed, but the people sitting here have changed.

The mood became heavy for no reason, and I don't know what Lin Haoran is doing now, will he think of me in a flash, yesterday Assistant Cheng called me to tell me that Lin Haoran is going abroad for a few days next week, let me rest assured, he will help me take care of Lin Haoran, but how can I let go of my heart.

I sighed, now I feel that I am a very stupid person, why choose such a difficult path, how painful it is to not be able to recognize each other, it is better not to know each other in the first place.

Chen Peng gently stretched out his hand and patted me, and when I turned my head, I realized that there was already one more person opposite me, it seemed that I was thinking too seriously just now, and I didn't even realize that there was one more person on the other side.

"Sister, this is my girlfriend Jiang Xiaojuan, a third-year student at H University of Technology." Chen Peng introduced me to the beautiful girl sitting across from me.

I smiled and nodded, this girl was really beautiful, but probably because she didn't sleep well at night, her eyes were not a little dull and her face was too pale.

"Xiaojuan, this is my sister, a very important sister, she can help you, you can call her Sister Xia or Sister Xue." Chen Peng also introduced me to Jiang Xiaojuan.

"Hello!" I generously stretched out my hand, Jiang Xiaojuan reached out with some hesitation, while we shook each other, I also felt her fear and helplessness, but one thing I can be sure of is that she is not possessed.

"Xiaojuan, you don't mind calling you like that, right?" Seeing Xiaojuan shaking her head at me, I raised a smile and said, "Relax, just now Xiaopeng told me about your general situation, he was very worried about you, so he asked me to help, I don't know what happened to you, do you mind talking about it?" My polite tone made me feel uncomfortable myself.

"Sister Xue, I'm nothing, not as strict as Chen Peng said, it's just because a classmate committed suicide, which made me feel uncomfortable, so I couldn't sleep well, and my mental pressure was a little greater, nothing else." Jiang Xiaojuan glanced at me defensively and lowered her head, the reluctance in her tone I could hear, but why should she be on guard against me?

"Xiaojuan, I specially asked my sister to help you today, don't be afraid, tell Sister Sù if you have anything, she will definitely help you." Chen Peng worriedly touched Xiaojuan's head to make her relax.

Chen Peng's action reminded me of Lin Haoran again, he used to like to stroke my hair like this, whether it was when I was happy or sad, he would give me such comfort, thinking about it, my watch softened, and the corners of my mouth also raised.

As soon as Chen Peng turned his head, he saw me looking straight at them, and my gentle expression made him understand what I was thinking now, and he sighed, "Sister, brother will come back, you have to have confidence." ”

"Hmm!" I came back to my senses and avoided his gaze as if evading, turned my head to look out the window and responded, Lin Haoran is my weakness now, and it is the fatal kind.

"Sister, are you okay?" Chen Peng looked at me worriedly, and I gave him a reassuring smile back.

Anyway, this kid came to me for help today, how can I let him worry about me.

I steadied my feelings and looked at the two of them with a smile: "Xiaojuan, have you figured out how to sue me?" ”

"Sister, you may laugh at me for being naïve when I talk about this matter, but I really have a hard time, and you must let Chen Peng guarantee that after he hears about this matter, he will not hate me and leave me because of this." Jiang Xiaojuan looked at me with calculating eyes, and I also saw worry and helplessness in her eyes, but the most was fear.

"Xiaojuan, now Xiaopeng wants me to help you because he is worried about you, and your request now seems to be a bit excessive, I can clearly tell you, I can guarantee that you will not feel naïve about what you say, but Chen Peng's opinion of you, I can't guarantee it, and I don't have the right to guarantee it." I looked at Jiang Xiaojuan strictly, there are too many eyes on children now, right?

At this time, Chen Peng also looked at Jiang Xiaojuan with a surprised face, and the doubts in his eyes deepened, he was really not sure what Jiang Xiaojuan was going to say, it was something that would not make him hateful.

My words were a blow to Jiang Xiaojuan, she looked at me with wide eyes for a while, and after seeing my expression of not giving in at all, she wilted, she knew that she had failed, she shouldn't have said that just now, she overestimated me.

"Sister Xue, it's not that I don't want to say it, but I don't believe it when I say it, there are ghosts in our school, there is a group of ghosts, they are evil ghosts that make two people who compete with each other never become friends, evil ghosts that will kill people, and evil ghosts who will make us follow their instructions to commit suicide." Jiang Xiaojuan said while crying, and finally covered her mouth silently, her face was frightened, and her eyes were full of fear.

After listening to her words, I didn't react much, but looked at her very calmly, "What did you exchange with them?" ”

Jiang Xiaojuan's eyes widened at me, she really didn't believe that I would believe her words, and she didn't believe that I would know about their deal.

"I ...... We...... Same...... Agree...... Swap lives. Jiang Xiaojuan replied in horror.

"Life?" After I finished speaking, I smiled lightly, that's right, using life as a bargaining chip, in exchange for what they need, when it finally turns out that life is the most precious, it will be too late.

"Sister, what does this mean?" Chen Peng asked me anxiously when he heard this.

"Your girlfriend traded her life for all her current achievements, and now it's time to pay it back, so she's scared." I lightly told Chen Peng the truth of the matter.

Chen Peng looked at Jiang Xiaojuan in surprise, he didn't understand why his girlfriend did this.

"What can I do, in order to be worthy of you, I studied hard, but I really can't do it now, and the job after graduation is also a problem, if I don't work hard, you will leave me, I want you to see that I am the best, I can only do that." Jiang Xiaojuan also saw Chen Peng's strange eyes, and shouted loudly out of control.

"When did I say that I want to have decent work, what is the best? Don't people who are not good don't have to live? As long as you live happily, why exchange lives with them, life is the most important thing, it's useless to have no life, don't you even understand this? Chen Peng frowned and reprimanded Jiang Xiaojuan angrily.

"You think so, but what about your family, they all pay attention to the woman's family background, I am just a petty bourgeois family, my parents just have a small business, will your parents take a fancy to it? Sooner or later, they'll break us up, and your great-grandfather, hasn't he always asked you to find a good girl? Jiang Xiaojuan replied without showing weakness.

I suddenly laughed, and as soon as the two people on the other side heard my laughter, they immediately stopped arguing and looked at me in unison.

I waved my hand, "Heh, leave me alone, you go on." ”

Jiang Xiaojuan also knew that she was out of shape, and immediately lowered her head quietly and stopped looking at me, Chen Peng touched her head and smiled embarrassedly.

I saw that both of them were quiet, and I also withdrew my smile and looked at them on the other side, "Listen, life can't be exchanged for anything, life is gone, it's useless to ask for anything, Xiaojuan, your excellence is not earned by your own efforts, but by sacrificing other people's lives, that's why you are so miserable now, but you will soon forget about this matter, because you still have a higher goal to achieve, do you want to sacrifice other people's lives in exchange?" ”

"I didn't think it was true at first, but this time I really saw it, because they were all standing behind the sixth, and they pushed the sixth down, not the sixth by jumping down, and the sixth was scared at the time, really, but I ...... I...... But it's not ...... There is no way but to ...... Watching ...... Watch her fall downstairs...... Woo woo...... "Jiang Xiaojuan cried, lying on the table and crying bitterly.

Chen Peng didn't reach out to touch her hair to comfort him, because he was looking at the girl he still loved on the table crying with disgust.

I just looked at her with a cold expression, because she was lying, and the way she looked at me just now, her purpose was to want that girl to die, just pretending to be the hands of those evil spirits.

This is the evil in human nature, she can't see that others are better than herself, she hates others better than herself, and wants to use external force to eliminate the target, she found this external force and eliminated her own target, and now she has her wish, but she lives in fear every day.

Her feeling is not wrong, she has been being stalked, no, it is a bit inappropriate to say that stalking, it should be "followed".

I nodded slightly to the girl who had been standing behind her and looking straight at her, and the girl also nodded to me, I knew that this girl was the sixth child Jiang Xiaojuan said.

I communicated with the girl with my eyes, and then looked at Jiang Xiaojuan, who was still lying on the table and crying "woo", and said coldly: "Raise your head, you can only tell me now what you exchanged with those evil ghosts, and I will know how to help you." ”

Jiang Xiaojuan raised her head slightly, her face was blocked by the long hair, but I still saw her mouth hidden behind her hair and grinned, it was a very evil smile, which made my heart tremble a little, and now I feel like I am in a trap, I was deceived by her.

"The condition of my exchange is to make me a top student in the whole department, so that all the students who have been standing in front of me disappear, and let me become the first in the whole department." Jiang Xiaojuan said the answer, but her voice made me sound a little eerie.

"Sixth, that is, why did Chen Jiao become the target of your purge?" I asked her coldly, and now I am sure that this child has not only given his life to those evil spirits, but also sold his soul.

"Chen Jiao has always been the flower of our department, and she is also the school flower, her excellence is recognized by the whole school, and I can't surpass it, I have such a wonderful boyfriend, but she has not been around, I am afraid that if she is seen by Chen Peng, Chen Peng will definitely fall in love with her, and by then, I will be nothing, so ...... She must die so that I can rest assured. Jiang Xiaojuan looked at me fiercely, and that look was not just now.

I sneered, stood up and leaned over the table to Jiang Xiaojuan, and whispered to her, "Listen, she has been following you since Chen Jiao's death, she has always known that it was you who killed her, and it was not those evil spirits who pushed her downstairs, but you." ”

Seeing Jiang Xiaojuan's frightened eyes, I raised the corners of my mouth with satisfaction, sat back in my seat, picked up the coffee that was already cold on the table and took a sip, but my eyes never left her face, so I could see her expression very clearly.

Jiang Xiaojuan recovered from the shock, and tried her best to squeeze out a laugh of "hehe", "Sister Xue, you can guess too much, you scared me." ”

"Really? Scared? "I'm so funny that she can continue to act with such indiscriminate acting skills, it's really not easy" Little girl, human nature is good, your fear is not unreasonable, because you have done something wrong, so your conscience has been condemned, so you will be restless, you will not be able to sleep at night, and you will be so anxious. ”

I glanced at Chen Peng, who had been staring at her, and reached out to pat him on the hand, "Xiaopeng, sit next to me, now I'm going to talk to one of your friends." ”

Chen Peng immediately understood and moved to sit next to me, but Chen Jiao, who had been standing behind Jiang Xiaojuan, automatically sat down in the seat where Chen Peng was sitting just now.

After seeing that everyone was ready, I looked at Jiang Xiaojuan with a sneer, "Jiang Xiaojuan, love is not fought for or grabbed, and whether you study well or not is not fought for or grabbed, your usual efforts are important, and you don't hesitate to sacrifice other people's lives for your own selfish desires in exchange for success, do you think it's better?" ”

"Chen Jiao has never hurt you, she's just a good student, right? You sold your life to the evil spirits in exchange for Chen Jiao's life, do you think this deal is worth it? Chen Jiao is dead, there will be one more evil spirit in the school, and there will be an evil spirit in this school that can be reincarnated, right? What do you get out of this exchange-style reincarnation? My cold words made Jiang Xiaojuan, who was sitting opposite, look at me in surprise.

"You will not get anything, because you have given your life to the evil spirits, and you will soon be one of their members as well, because this is the agreement between you, even if you don't want to keep it." I ignored her surprise because her expression could no longer interest me.

"So what should I do? How can I get out of it, I don't want to die, I don't want to die at all. Please, Sister Xue, please save me. Jiang Xiaojuan stood up like crazy and grabbed my hand across the table.

"I'm sorry, I can't do anything, everyone has to pay for their actions, I really can't help you." I coldly withdrew my hand.

"Xiaopeng, you know that I love you, you help me, don't you know a big brother? Doesn't he know how to catch ghosts? You ask that big brother to help me catch those ghosts, so that I don't have to fulfill that agreement anymore, I can live, I can be with you, okay, help me. As soon as Jiang Xiaojuan saw that I didn't help, she immediately turned her head and begged Chen Peng, and she also mentioned Lin Haoran.

"Catching ghosts?" I raised my voice and asked.

"Jiang Xiaojuan, you make me sad too much, you swore that you wouldn't tell my brother about it, what is this now? Have you broken your oath to protect yourself? Chen Peng looked at Jiang Xiaojuan with disgust.

"What time is it? It's about my life and death, and at this time, do you still ask me to keep that bullshit secret for you? You're funny. As soon as Jiang Xiaojuan saw that even Chen Peng didn't help her, she immediately changed her face, and her pitiful appearance just now was gone, and now she is an extremely strong frame.

Chen Jiao, who was sitting next to her, looked at me and said: "This is her true face, Jiang Xiaojuan, who has always been petite and lovely in front of outsiders, is actually like this in private, the whole house is afraid of her, and her temper is not good, she will throw things and scold people when she is angry, and even beat people." ”

I lowered my head and took a deep breath, looked up at Jiang Xiaojuan coldly, "Xiaojuan, your expression changes really fast?" I don't get used to my sister. ”

"Uh......" Jiang Xiaojuan was stunned by what I said, and now she realized how out of control her watch was just now.

"No matter what method you use, I can only sue you and take responsibility for your actions." Coldly throwing this sentence to her, I stood up and pulled Chen Peng and left.
