Chapter 39: Xiaojie's Nightmare
Sometimes, once the balance is broken, it is difficult to return to the way it used to be.
Li Jie didn't come for more than a week, and during this period of time, the state of getting along with the three of them suddenly became only me and Wang Feng.
During class, I would still sneak a glance at him often, and he still listened to the lecture seriously, never paying attention to my eyes.
At noon, sometimes we would eat together, sometimes he would be with his buddies, and I would find my own pleasure by myself.
After school, we went home together. On the way, we can talk about some topics that we rarely talk about when Li Jie is there. Unexpectedly, Wang Feng and I have a lot in common. I like the same style of songs, the same style of poetry, the same style of novels, and the same style of animation......
And my relationship with him is also changing subtly. This change was both unexpected and unexpected.
It wasn't until this day that Li Jie appeared in the seat of the class that I realized how weak my heart was when I got along with Wang Feng for a while.
The moment I saw her, I realized that for so long, I had forgotten to help her and Wang Feng, and only cared about my own happiness.
"Xiao Jie...... You're here, you're cured? Why are you here so early today? ”
"Hmm." Li Jie looked at me, just said yes softly, and didn't speak again.
"Xiaojie, why have you caught a cold for so long?"
"Well, it's nothing, Xiaoxiao, I'll talk about it when I'm free at noon." Her expression was heavy, serious, and completely devoid of her usual smile.
I didn't dare say anything more, I knew maybe she wasn't in a good mood at the moment.
I was a little worried, I was actually afraid that she would know that she was not there for a while, I got along with Wang Feng very well, I began to be afraid that she would ask me about helping her, I was also afraid that she would ask about Wang Feng's attitude towards her, I was afraid that she would mention everything about Wang Feng.
I sat there trembling and staring out the window at the dead branches.
At this time, it is late autumn, autumn is cool, and gusts of cold wind begin to blow away the last trace of warmth recklessly. Even the sun, like an ornament in the sky, has long since lost its temperature, leaving only that brightness. Tell people that where there is light, there is shadow.
Suddenly, I saw two familiar figures on the roof of the building opposite.
Liu Wei doesn't know who he is observing at the moment? During the time Li Jie was not there, I got along with Wang Feng happily, so that I forgot to observe whether there was anyone on the roof, and I didn't care if he was watching something there.
I only know that during this time, my relationship with Wang Feng is another feeling. This very harmonious companionship makes me feel a sense of steadiness. No matter what happened to me, no matter how big or small it was, I wanted to share it with him as soon as I could. If I need help, then I will think of asking him for help at the first time.
It's a trust, but it's not the same as trust between friends. In the midst of this trust, there is also a bit of dependence......
I turned my head and looked at Li Jie.
She sat there silently, flipping through the contents of the lessons she had taught during this time. I don't know if she's really reading a book, or if she's just looking for something to cover herself up, like me. Because, I don't think her eyes are really focused on the book, but only on the pages of the book, wandering aimlessly at all.
"Yo, Li Jie, you're well." Wang Feng said as he walked into the classroom.
"yes, alright." Li Jie answered without raising his head.
Wang Feng sat down in his seat and smiled at me. Today's smile seems to have a little more meaning, like the unique tacit understanding between us.
I didn't dare to respond with the same attitude as him, I just looked at him and smiled awkwardly.
This morning, I feel that there is no longer the feeling between the three of us, and there seems to be an invisible barrier. I don't know if it's because of my weak heart, or if there's really been such a change. But I hope that we can go back to the time when all three of us were happy.
"Xiaoxiao, you accompany me at noon, I won't go back."
"Hmm."
"What about me?" Wang Feng asked with a grin.
"You take care of yourself, I have something to say with Xiaoxiao."
"Oh, well, I can't bother with your girls' secrets, so I'll go first." Wang Feng picked up his schoolbag and walked out of the classroom happily.
"Xiaoxiao, let's go too."
"Oh......" I followed behind Li Jie, not daring to speak. Today's Li Jie made me feel a depressing atmosphere.
We came to Luanshu Square, people came and went, in a hurry, just me and her, sitting under the tree.
She still looked up at the sky at her characteristic forty-five degrees, silent......
Soon, there were fewer and fewer people in the school, and there were almost no classmates in the small square, and my stomach was growling uncontrollably.
"Alas...... Xiaoxiao, do you know what I've been through in the past ten days? ”
I shook my head and felt distressed, she must not have a cold.
"Xiaoxiao, do you remember the weekend my dad looked for me?"
"Hmm." I nodded and looked at her. I didn't know what she was going to say, but I could clearly feel that the air was beginning to condense and the atmosphere was sinking deeper and lower.
Li Jie slowly pulled up her sleeves, and there were some yellowing marks on her arms.
I hurriedly took her hand and gently stroked the bruises on her arm.
She said lightly: "My dad beat me." It's been ten days, and it's almost well. ”
Tears poured out uncontrollably, "Xiaojie, do you hurt?" Why did you do this to you? ”
"Xiaoxiao, don't cry. What is the injury on the arm? She sneered: "I asked for leave because I was beaten by my dad and vomited blood!" ”
I was shocked and angry at the same time.
"How can this be! Is he still your dad? ”
Li Jie had no expression on her face, her eyes were looking into the distance, but she didn't focus.
"Xiaoxiao, you know what? That weekend, I did as he asked. After eating, they took me to sing. At first, everything was harmonious, and I was still thinking that maybe this level would be passed like this. However, in the middle of the process, my dad answered a phone call and said that he had something urgent to leave. In the KTV, it was just me and their father and son. He asked his son to go to the place he designated to buy cigarettes, and his son obediently went. So, in the private room, it was just me and him. Alas~" Li Jie let out a long sigh and sneered.
"He started to do things to me, I resisted, I asked him why he did this, and he told me that I was one of their family sooner or later. I asked him, aren't you afraid that I will tell my dad? He said, "Why do you think your dad left early?" Xiaoxiao, you know what? At this moment, I felt that my life was gray and over. I began to resist, but I was no match for him. In a panic, I touched a bottle, and without thinking about it, I threw it at him. He hurts, I don't know, anyway, when he let go, I ran away. Until I ran out of the KTV, I didn't see his son come back. ”
Li Jie said this, took out a water cup from her schoolbag, and took a sip of water.
I also took this opportunity to ask my question: "Didn't you escape?" But you're hurt? ”
Li Jie tightened the lid of the cup and slowly continued: "I didn't dare to stop at that time, and then ran far away, until I was out of breath and couldn't run anymore, so I stopped and sat on the steps on the side of the road to rest......
