Chapter XXXVII

After the story was finished, at three or four o'clock in the morning, the light outside gradually appeared.

The incandescent lights in the living room were still on.

Ruan Tian stood up and turned off the light, and Jin Ke sat on the sofa, leaning his back on the backrest, one hand on his knees, and the other rubbing the edge of the armrest.

There was no sound.

It's quiet.

Ruan Tian stood at the top of the stairs with his arms crossed, stepped on the stairs with one foot, but did not make any movement to go up, stopped, turned his head, and looked at Jin Ke who was sitting on the sofa in the dark night.

Jin Ke drooped his head, almost buried in his knees.

Ruan tilted the escalator with one hand and said, "It's not early, rest early." ”

After saying that, he went upstairs without looking back.

In the dark living room, Jin Ke was left alone on the sofa, his head bowed and silent for a long time.

Half an hour later, the light outside the floor-to-ceiling windows became brighter, and a flash of morning light cast shadows on the tiled floor through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Jin Ke slowly raised his head, looked at the staircase, his blue eyes were slightly red, his thin lips were pursed, and he did not move.

……

At seven o'clock the next day, I got up as usual.

Wash up and have breakfast.

Lu Huang came over early in the morning and brought the breakfast he bought to send them to school.

Jin Yi was not there, and Lu Huang took over the task of transporting them to and from school.

Ruan sat at the table eating a sandwich with a glass of hot milk in front of her.

At the staircase, Jin Ke went downstairs lazily, without the sense of decadence of last night, still in a self-styled tone, the uniform shirt was worn on her, no bow tie, the top two buttons were unbuttoned, revealing a white collarbone, with her blonde hair and half-open blue eyes, full of British taste.

Pulling back the chair, he lazily dropped the word "early" and cut the sandwich.

Lu Huang looked at Jin Ke who didn't wake up, playing with his mobile phone in his hand, and owed: "You went as a thief last night, so unenergetic." ”

The hand holding the knife and fork paused, and then, the fork in the left hand flew towards Lu Huang.

"Wow!" Lu Huang avoided it, and pouted, "You are too fierce, be gentle!" ”

Jin Ke's hand with the knife was inserted into the sandwich, and the sandwich was cut in half, his eyes glanced at it lightly, and his tone was also light: "If you say one more word, I don't mind letting you separate your head and body." ”

Lu Huang immediately shut up, stuffed his mobile phone into his pocket, and immediately slipped away: "I'll wait for you in the car, you eat slowly." ”

When I arrived at school, the photo storm from a week ago had not yet dissipated, and the students were talking about the unbearable.

Xia Zhi is still recuperating in the hospital, and Fan Sijia and Shen Nanya are still fine, as if this matter really has nothing to do with them.

Sitting in his seat, taking out the textbook of the class he was going to take from his school bag, and stuffing the schoolbag into the desk, Ruan Tian stared at the cover of the English book in a daze.

Next to him, as soon as Jin Ke sat down, he threw his schoolbag on the desk, and the movement was very loud.

Ruan tilted back to look at her, and after seeing Jin Ke throw down his schoolbag, he fell asleep directly on the schoolbag, and he was not too panicked.

I don't know what time she slept last night, sleepy like this.

Then the day began.

Ruan Tian listened in a daze, but he didn't sleep with his body propped up, and began to take notes uncharacteristically.

Next to her, Jin Ke slept like a dead pig, and after two classes, she didn't move in her seat, so that she got up and went out cautiously, for fear of disturbing her.

During the recess, Ruan Tian was looking at the English notes taken in the previous class, turning the pen in her right hand, turning and turning, the pen fell to the ground and fell to a few positions in front of her, the girl in front of her just came in from outside, saw the pen that Ruan Tian had just dropped, squatted down, picked it up, and handed it to her.

Ruan Tian whispered, "Thank you." ”

The girl was still standing at her desk, not sitting down, her hands wrapped in front of her, and she wanted to speak.

His gaze slowly moved from the note to the girl, and he asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

The girl paused for a long time, looked at the people behind her, and seemed to be sure that there was no one in the small group of Fan Sijia in the classroom to sit back on the chair, lie on the chair, lean in front of Ruan Tian, raised her left hand to cover one side of her face, and it was a standard gesture of small talk, and after a long time, the girl spoke, and her voice was very soft: "Those photos of Xia Zhi before were posted by Fan Sijia, and someone saw them early when they came to clean in the morning, but they didn't dare to say it." ”

The hand that was about to continue turning the pen stopped, the mobile phone in the belly of the table vibrate, it was the sound of information, Ruan Tian ignored it, and continued to listen to the girl: "Someone else saw Shen Nanya walking very close to a man, and the man gave Shen Nanya a very thick envelope, and I don't know what it was?" ”

The pen was put on the table by her, and her eyes looked at the girl: "How do you know this?" ”

"Oops!" The girl slapped the back of the chair with one hand, "The point is not how we know, the point is that Xia Zhi is going to be fired because of this incident!" ”

Xia Zhi is still lying in the hospital, these people ......

"Ruan Tian, in fact, we don't hate Xia Zhi, we are afraid of Fan Sijia, you know, she is the niece of the principal, and they were transferred in the second semester of the second year of high school, at that time, Xia Zhi was very good to us, Fan Sijia inexplicably rejected her after she came, and we don't know what the situation is, some girls will bully Xia Zhi with her in order to please Fan Sijia."

There was another vibration on the mobile phone, Ruan listened to the girl's words, took out the mobile phone from the table, opened the message, and it was an unfamiliar number with no name.

There were two messages sent, the first one was a picture, a platinum bracelet, a simple chain design, but she deliberately took a line of lettering, Ruan Tian recognized at a glance that this was the one left by her mother, the one that was missing, how could someone suddenly send her this photo.

The second message, 5 million, change this bracelet, prepare cash, and then I will tell you to pull it.

My heart sank, and I had no clue for a while, so I called the number that sent the message, and the voice message reminded the other party that the phone had been turned off.

No one can be reached.

Standing up suddenly, the feet of the chair rubbed against the ground and made a screeching sound, the girl looked at her in surprise, Ruan Tian didn't say a word, and ran out.

I don't know if it's because of the big movement, or if I've slept enough, Jin Ke got up with his head propped up, his eyes squinted at the figure of Ruan Tian running out, and then looked at the girl's surprised eyes, and asked in a daze, "Why is she going?" In such a hurry? As he spoke, he rubbed his hair, which was a little fluffy from sleep.

The girl was also confused, and replied ignorantly: "I don't know, she looked at her phone for a while and went out." ”

Jin Ke yawned and asked the girl, "What did you just tell her?" ”

The girl looked back at Jin Ke and replied, "Oh, Xia Zhi is going to be expelled." ”

Jin Ke's squinted eyes opened, he couldn't see the look of sleepiness, and his head was stunned: "What, what?"
