Chapter 30: The Cold War 2
"Mu Hui, then please help me bring my books back, if I don't come back in time tomorrow, I will take sick leave tomorrow morning with two classes of English." Zhao Ting handed the cloth bag containing the book in her hand to her roommate.
Mu Hui, a girl with long curly hair, took the schoolbag handed by Zhao Ting, and joked with a smile: "Go quickly, your "reciprocating Buddha" must be in a hurry now." Several girls next to the perm girl also deliberately teased Zhao Ting.
Zhao Ting's originally fair little face flushed, and she hurriedly stomped her feet and quickly explained: "Phew-you are talking nonsense again, it was my good friend who ran away from home and was caught by her parents, and I am going to visit her today." ”
"Is it your friend from your hometown who studied at Peking University?" A girl in a white dress next to Mu Hui asked.
Zhao Ting nodded.
"By the way, that friend of yours is at Peking University, just right, you help me ask your friend to see if she knows about a female student from Peking University who committed suicide by jumping into the lake not long ago." A very fashionable girl wearing blue brocade embroidered flowers suddenly remembered an interesting story she heard from someone not long ago, and wanted to inquire about what was going on.
The girl looked around and saw that there was no one else, the corners of her mouth suddenly showed a hint of evil smile, and she continued to whisper to the surrounding sisters: "I heard that the girl who committed suicide was because she found out that she was pregnant, and it happened that her good friend called the school to suspend her studies that day, but she was overheard, and she went to Beihai to commit suicide by jumping into the lake." ”
The surrounding girls exclaimed in a low voice after hearing this, and began to discuss it, and some girls thought that the man should not call the school; Some girls think that this girl should commit suicide if she is too indecent......
Zhao Ting frowned and listened to the gossip of her friends, and she vaguely felt that the girl they were talking about who "committed suicide by pregnancy" was her good friend - Xie Shuyao.
Zhao Ting reluctantly squeezed out a smile, and said to the sisters pretending to be relaxed: "It's not early, I'll go first." ”
"What's the hurry, doesn't the bus to the city leave at four o'clock?" A girl asked, puzzled.
"I made an appointment with a friend, he is going back to the city today, and I will take his car back to the city."
"Ting, don't forget to help me ask your friend, she must have heard of it, remember to come back and tell us." The blue brocade flower cheongsam girl smiled and said to Zhao Ting.
Zhao Ting turned her head and hesitated, nodded in response, and responded to the fashionable cheongsam girl.
The fashionable cheongsam girl glanced at the direction of Zhao Ting's departure, and then found a reason to withdraw from the sisters' pile, she bypassed everyone's sight and came to the school gate, the cheongsam girl hiding in the dark saw a boy waiting for Zhao Ting next to a somewhat familiar black car from a distance, Zhao Ting didn't know why she didn't need to deal with the boy, and then saw them get into a black car she was familiar with.
The cheongsam girl's beautiful eyes turned, her brows were a little tight, and she said to herself in confusion: "She is very familiar with Lu Ming?" ”
Zhao Ting, who had a solemn face, sat alone in the back of the car and looked out the window since she got into the car.
Lu Ming, who was driving in the front, was also troubled by a question, this morning he learned from Xie Chen the news of his sister's attempted run away from home, he asked Xie Chen why his sister came out, but Xie Chen scolded him angrily, 'She has a brain disease!' Seeing that his friend was angry, he didn't want to ask anything, "Why did your sweetheart run away from home?" Lu Ming wondered if it was because he had caused her trouble......
Xie Chen didn't want to go back to cause trouble, he didn't want to go back at this time to provoke the "plague god" at home, if it weren't for Zhao Ting having to pull him back to comfort the "plague god", he would be more willing to be alone in the school out of sight and out of mind, thinking that the home must be full of gunsmoke and war now, and he might offend the two big Buddhas at home if he goes back carelessly.
The three people in the car were speechless all the way with their own thoughts, and after Zhao Ting and Xie Chen got out of the car on Jingshan East Street, seeing that Lu Ming didn't mean to get out of the car, Xie Chen asked strangely, "Why don't you come down?" ”
"I-wouldn't it be appropriate to go now?" Lu Ming hesitated.
Seeing Lu Ming so embarrassed, Xie Chen suddenly felt a little funny, his good friend Lu Ming must pull it up, with this friend to help attract firepower, his pressure will be much less.
Xie Chen came to the car and whispered to his friend: "You don't know that my mother beat my sister hard yesterday, you know my sister's stinky temper, if she gets into trouble with my mother again, I'm afraid that she will inevitably be beaten by my mother again, and you can help me persuade my mother if you are present." ”
Hearing that the person he liked was actually beaten yesterday, Lu Ming couldn't help but feel nervous, he comforted himself and said that he was just going to persuade his aunt and do his friend a favor, and he didn't have any other ideas, he thought so.
The three of them discussed the words of persuasion while walking towards Xie's house, and while speaking, the three of them came to the door of Xie's house.
After entering the house, Xie Chen, who was walking in front, felt a trace of strangeness, there was no movement at home, and he secretly had a trace of vigilance in his heart.
"Mom, I'm back!" Xie Chen habitually shouted when he entered the door.
Xie Chen's shout did not respond to Xie Chen except for startling a few leisurely sparrows in the courtyard, which made the three people in the group notice something abnormal.
After entering the courtyard, the vigilant Xie Chen saw his sister's door open at first glance, and there was a dead silence in the courtyard, and Xie Chen had a hint of foreboding in his heart.
Zhao Ting came to her best friend's room when Xie Chen was still in a daze, the room was empty, a few clothes on the bed were messily placed, and there was a bad smell of kerosene in the room, Zhao Ting, who had not found anyone, frowned lightly and withdrew from her friend's boudoir, and said to Xie Chen with a worried face: "There is no one in the house, nothing will happen, right?" ”
Hearing this, Xie Chen unconsciously twitched the corners of his mouth, this must be an accident! He hurriedly circled around the other rooms of the house, and as expected, found nothing, he vaguely guessed what might be going on in the house, and it must have something to do with the crazy girl.
"By the way, didn't you say your grandfather was in the hospital? Could it be that aunt and uncle went to the hospital to visit your grandfather? Lu Ming reminded.
Xie Chen knew that this was very unlikely, but he had no choice, what if they were really there? Xie Chen nodded and said to Lu Ming: "Well, then let's go to my dad first, ask my dad if he knows the situation, and then say if he wants to go to the hospital." ”
"Huh? Are you going to go to the normal school? When Zhao Ting heard that she was going to her father's university, she was a little scared.
Xie Chen heard the panic in Zhao Ting's tone, he almost forgot that their fathers both worked in a university, patted his head a little swollen and said, "I'm sorry, I forgot." Keep one person in the house. Then you can help stay here and wait for us, I will call back if I can't find it, so let's arrange it! Lu Ming, I've worked hard for you today. Xie Chen looked at Lu Ming with some apology in his eyes and said.
"Don't say anything like that, it's what I'm supposed to do. Mr. Zhao, then I'll leave it to you here! Lu Ming said with a solemn face.
Zhao Ting watched the two leave in a hurry, turned to look at her friend's boudoir, and complained to herself: "People are worried that you have come to see you, you are good, and you don't know where to play, I am really angry!" ”

Xie Shuyao, who was sitting in the rickshaw at this time, rubbed her itchy nose......
