Chapter 176: Questioning
Zhao Qingyu called his parents with PHS, and Zhao's father and Zhao's mother on the other end of the phone were anxious and angry.
didn't have too many words, after hanging up the phone, Zhao Qingyu sat on the edge of the bed alone and was stunned for a while.
Suddenly, she noticed a faint sobbing sound next to her, and turned her head to see that it was her younger brother Zhao Qingfeng who was looking at her at the door of her room and wiping her tears.
Zhao Qingyu put down PHS and walked over to wipe away his tears, but the outstretched hand froze in mid-air, covered with dust and dried blood stains.
Afraid of scaring Zhao Qingfeng, she hurriedly withdrew her hand and curled up her palm behind her back, but found that she was also in a mess.
In the end, she had to turn sideways, and Zhao Qingfeng, who couldn't help but open her mouth and yawn, whispered: "Xiaofeng, it's late, go to sleep." β
"But you've bled a lot...... Are you going to die......" Zhao Qingfeng's eyes were full of fear, and he pulled the door frame and refused to leave.
"I'm fine, it's not mine, it's today...... Someone else is killing chickens when they go out tonight, and it's all chicken blood. β
Zhao Qingfeng was stunned, looked at Zhao Qingyu carefully, and said in disbelief: "Really? β
"Really! Do you see me moving around like I'm hurting? β
Zhao Qingyu said and jumped on the spot a few times, and Zhao Qingfeng burst into tears and laughed, wiping his tears with his sweaty little hands.
"Eh, don't just wipe your eyes with your hands, it's dirty." Zhao Qingyu stopped his little arm, led him to the toilet, wiped his face with a towel, and then asked him to go to sleep quickly.
Lying on the bed, Zhao Qingfeng covered half a small blanket, blinked and asked her, "Then are you still going out?" β
"Don't go out."
"Oh......"
Zhao Qing rubbed his sleepy eyes, turned over and closed his eyes in satisfaction.
Zhao Qingyu sighed, helped him close the door, and then went back to his bedroom to find clean clothes.
The curtains suddenly flew high, and she turned her head to see that the night was calm and sultry, but at some point there was a strong wind.
The wind poured in through the screen windows and curtains, blowing on Zhao Qingyu's body, and the dry tropics went away.
But she didn't care about enjoying it now, so she hurriedly took a change of clothes, and she didn't even have time to boil the hot water, so she directly used half a bottle of water in a thermos flask to mix it into a warm half basin of water, and scrubbed her body again.
As soon as he finished changing his clean clothes, Zhao Qingyu was about to find a bag and throw away the dirty clothes, when he heard the sound of rushing upstairs outside the door.
Her heart pounded, and then she forced herself to compose herself.
She could already imagine the uproar that was about to be set off at home after her parents returned.
With the sound of the lock turning, the door opened.
"Light rainβ"
"Xiaoyu, what's wrong with you?!"
Zhao's father and Zhao's mother looked at Zhao Qingyu who was standing at the door of the toilet, and eagerly called her name and asked her about her situation.
The dirty clothes that she didn't have time to throw away had been quietly stuffed into the back of the washing machine, and she looked indifferent with a trace of guilt: "Dad, Mom, I'm back, you ......"
"Where did you go at night? We went to the hotel that Li Feiyu said, and you weren't there at all. β
Mother Zhao walked over and looked her up and down several times, as if she was looking for some suspicious clues.
The inquiring gaze was mixed with some inexplicable things in it, Zhao Qingyu was a little uncomfortable, and lowered his eyes slightly: "I didn't go there, I just met an old friend and chatted for a while, and I went to cut my hair by the way." β
"Old friends? You weren't with that kid with the surname Lee? Father Zhao asked in an unkind tone.
Zhao Qingyu didn't look up: "No, we just said a few words, and he left when he had something to do." β
Mother Zhao came over and pushed her husband to the side: "Okay, okay, you go and rest, I'll talk to Xiaoyu." β
Father Zhao wanted to say something more, his mouth opened and closed a few times, and after all, he sighed and turned back to the room.
When only the mother and daughter were left in the living room, Zhao's mother walked to the bamboo bed in the hall and sat down, patted the place beside her, and glanced at Zhao Qingyu.
Needless to say, Zhao Qingyu walked over and sat down next to Zhao's mother, and the two faced each other silently for nearly a minute.
Zhao Qingyu knew that she only needed to deliberately take the initiative to enliven the atmosphere and say a few more lies, and Zhao's mother would be relieved and believe her.
This conversation will be the perfect one.
But her mind was in turmoil, her mood was depressed, and she tried to take the initiative to speak several times, but she couldn't say a word.
The throat and eyes seemed to be blocked by something, and it was uncomfortable.
"Xiaoyu, you really weren't with Li Feiyu at night?" Mother Zhao couldn't help it and spoke first.
Zhao Qingyu shook his head: "No." β
Hearing this, Zhao's mother first breathed a sigh of relief, and then frowned with a "hiss": "Then what did you go out to talk about?" β
"Didn't talk about anything."
"Are you talking about today's breakup?"
"No...... Poof......"
When Zhao Qingyu reacted to what her mother said, she almost choked on her own saliva, she never expected that after being misunderstood by Li Feiyu's mother, she was then thundered by her mother.
"Did you dump him or did he dump you?"
ββ¦β¦β
Zhao Qingyu only felt that there were crows flying in front of her, and what made her even more speechless was that Zhao's mother even thought that she couldn't think of wandering outside because she was in a bad mood after being dumped.
She sighed incomparably that a woman's imagination is rich.
Even though she had denied Sanlian, Zhao's mother still insisted that her guess was right.
"Look at you, and say that you haven't been dumped, your face and eyes are swollen from crying." Mother Zhao glanced at her in disgust.
Zhao Qingyu turned his face away and lowered his head.
Mother Zhao suddenly froze, and suddenly stretched out her hand to straighten her face: "No, your eyes are not swollen, your face is swollen!" β
"No ......" Zhao Qingyu hurriedly denied that the half of the beaten face, except for the corners of the eyes, was actually not so swollen.
When she spoke, she also tried to keep her head down, but she didn't expect to be discovered by her attentive mother.
"Obviously, you are...... Beaten?! Mother Zhao suddenly jumped up from the bamboo bed, "Who hit you?" Isn't it Li Feiyu's stinky boy?! β
"Mom, be quiet!" Zhao Qingyu hurriedly stood up and covered her mouth.
However, it was already late, and Zhao's father, who had been eavesdropping in the room all along, had already jumped out and rushed to her to see where she was injured.
Mother Zhao pointed to her slightly red and swollen right cheek, and was emotional: "Look at Xiaoyu's face, it's all swollen like this!" Someone must have been beaten! β
Zhao's father instantly jumped like thunder, shouting loudly who hit her, and Zhao Qingyu's voice was drowned in the boundless anger of his parents several times.
The scene was very chaotic for a while, and even Zhao Qingfeng, who was asleep, was woken up again, ran out of the room barefoot, and looked at the three people in the living room timidly and confused, not knowing what terrible things had happened.
"Dad! Mother! I wasn't beaten! Zhao Qingyu really couldn't stand it, "Is it okay for you to be quieter, do you have to make the upstairs and downstairs get up to watch the excitement!" β
"Sister...... We didn't have anyone upstairs ......"
Zhao Qingfeng finally grasped a sentence that he could understand, and spoke weakly.
Zhao's father and Zhao's mother were originally shocked by Zhao Qingyu's sudden outburst, and when they heard their son's rebuttal, they suddenly felt like they couldn't cry or laugh.
"If the child doesn't sleep so late, he won't grow tall in the future, go to sleep!" Zhao's mother waved her hand to her son and motioned for him to go back to the room quickly.
Zhao Qingfeng shook his head: "If you don't quarrel, I'll go to sleep, and I can't sleep if you quarrel." β
"Xiao Feng, go to bed, we didn't quarrel." Zhao Qingyu saw that his parents had calmed down, and his heart was a little calmer, and then he squeezed his eyes at Zhao Qingfeng.
Zhao Qingfeng went back to the room step by step.
"It's all your fault, yelling in the middle of the night, it's not too big." Mother Zhao glared at her husband angrily.
Father Zhao immediately retorted: "You still say that I have a loud voice? You shouted louder than I did. β
"Dad, Mom, I'm also a little ......" Zhao Qingyu just wanted to slip away, but was given the sight of the two of them at the same time.
Soon, Zhao's father and Zhao's mother began to interrogate her again about how her face was swollen.
However, Zhao Qingyu had already thought of a reason at this time.
She told her parents that it was because there was no light when she went upstairs that she accidentally fell and just wiped her face.
"Really ???" Mother Zhao looked suspicious.
"Really!"
Zhao Qingyu looked indifferent, "Mom, have you forgotten my nickname Female Fierce General?" If anyone really beats me, will I be able to spare him? β
"Huh~" Zhao's mother snorted disdainfully, "You are still a female general, I don't know what you look like, I still hugged the pillow and shouted that my stomach hurts this afternoon." β
ββ¦β¦β
"Okay, it's good if no one hits you." Zhao's mother said with relief, "If you are really wronged, you must tell your parents." β
"Got it, Mom, go to bed, aren't you going to open the store tomorrow?"
Zhao's mother slapped her thigh, and hurriedly asked Zhao's father to go back to the room to rest first, and when the latter returned to the room, she secretly rubbed to Zhao Qingyu's side and asked in a low voice: "Xiaoyu, then who are you with tonight, is it a man or a woman?" β
ββ¦β¦ Female. β
In order to end the conversation quickly, Zhao Qingyu lied without changing his face.
"Oh...... So who dumped whom? β
ββ¦β¦β
Zhao Qingyu suddenly felt big, but he didn't expect his mother to care so much about this.
"Mom, I'm not with Li Feiyu, let alone breaking up, besides, I said a long time ago that I won't fall in love during school." Her expression was very serious.
After getting her daughter's assurance again, Zhao's mother relieved herself and went back to the room to rest with peace of mind.
"Xiaoyu, you should rest early, don't stay up late tonight to read."
"yes, I know."
β¦β¦
The wind outside the window was getting stronger, and the curtains made of bed sheets were blown wildly.
Lightning pierced the night, and the sky was lit up for a moment, and then quickly dimmed, as if a bomb had exploded in the ears, and a sharp and terrible thunder followed.
Zhao Qingyu lay quietly on the bed, looking at the void with empty eyes, and his expression was so blank that there was no change.
It is only when she is alone that she reveals her true side.
That night, she had experienced too much, and her mind was too chaotic.
Li Feiyu called her again after she went back, but she didn't answer, and he didn't call again.
For Li Feiyu, she feels very complicated.
She didn't know if she should thank him or resent him.
But in addition to these, Zhao Qingyu is also more sure of the fact that every time she encounters danger, she will suddenly become uncontrollable, and a terrifying beast seems to be hiding in her body, and she suddenly jumps out.
She doesn't even remember what happened.
I only vaguely felt that those people seemed to be crying out for some kind of "monster".
Monsters?
Hehe.
How could these stupid people know that it was her patronus who was protecting her.
Zhao Qingyu gently stroked his stomach and muttered something unconsciously.
β¦β¦
She didn't know when she fell asleep, only that when she woke up, it was already dawn outside the window, and the black and white magpies were standing outside in the treetops squeaking and chirping.
The summer morning sun shone obliquely into the room, and spread most of her bed with golden light, and the heat was no less than that of noon.
Zhao Qingyu sat up from the bed with her arms propped up, and found that she hadn't turned on the electric fan all night, no wonder she was sweating from the heat.
Her head was a little dizzy, as if she hadn't slept well, and as if she had slept too long, rubbed her somewhat stiff face, and turned her head to look at the alarm clock on the desk.
It's already past eight o'clock, no wonder the sun is so shining.
Zhao Qingyu shook his head and went down to the ground with his slippers, the house was quiet, there was no sound of TV, and there was no sound of playing games.
There was really no one in the house, even his younger brother Zhao Qingfeng was nowhere to be found.
After a quick wash, Zhao Qingyu hurriedly turned out the dirty clothes from behind the washing machine, there were no garbage bags at the door, probably taken out by his parents in the morning and thrown away.
She went back to the kitchen to find a black plastic bag, stuffed her clothes in, tied it, and prepared to go out and throw it away.
But as soon as he opened the door, he ran into Zhao Qingfeng, who happened to come upstairs.
"Sister, you're up, you don't have to go out, I brought you hot dry noodles." Zhao Qingfeng raised the lunch box in his hand as he spoke, his face was happy.
Zhao Qingyu paused, and then laughed: "Xiaofeng is really good, but my sister wants to go downstairs to throw away the garbage, you go into the house first, and I will come immediately." β
"Sister, are you going to throw away your clothes from yesterday?"
"You ......" Zhao Qingyu was startled, then stepped forward, lowered his voice and said nervously, "You didn't tell your parents, did you?" β
"Nope." Zhao Qingfeng shook his head obediently, "I said that my parents will definitely scold you, and the chicken blood can't be cleaned." β
Zhao Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief, with a large piece of chicken blood on his body, he could only deceive children who didn't understand anything.
"Well, you don't have to tell anyone in the future, you know?" She walked over and touched Zhao Qingfeng's head, thought about it and deliberately scared him, "I don't like you anymore." β
"Sister......
Seeing that his younger brother's eyes were full of grievances, Zhao Qingyu was suddenly stunned, and hurriedly comforted Zhao Qingfeng that she was joking, and secretly scolded herself for going too far.
After appeasing Zhao Qingfeng, she hurriedly went downstairs to throw away the garbage.
The garbage concentration point was fifty meters away, she squinted her eyes and walked quickly, and the moment she turned around after throwing away the garbage, she recalled that when she went downstairs just now, she seemed to see a somewhat familiar figure at the top of the stairs.
Suddenly, her steps froze.
The woman standing under the poplar tree is not Li Feiyu's mother, but who is it.
Zhao Qingyu suddenly felt a big head, she quickly opened her eyes, just as if she didn't recognize it.
Early in the morning, there were three or four people playing chess and chatting at the entrance of the shop.
She only hoped that when she passed by, she wouldn't be stopped by Li Feiyu's mother.
However, it backfired.
When she lowered her head and hurriedly walked back, seven or eight meters away from the store, Li Feiyu's mother spoke.
"Zhao Qingyu."
Zhao Qingyu reluctantly stopped, raised his eyes to look at the other party, and said in his heart I have cut my hair and changed my clothes, how can you still recognize it!
