The next day, the news came that the two boys did not know what had happened, and were admitted to the hospital with fractures and disfigurements all over their bodies.

And Xiao Sheng didn't come to school today.

As soon as I entered the classroom in the morning, I could hear some not very good rumors about Yechen and Xiao Sheng, even Xiao Sheng's junior high school incidents, and some fingers that had nothing to do with him

Those eyes have already been experienced once, so it's not a big deal, it's just a bunch of people who don't know the facts

But Xiao Sheng is different, if she hears these words, probably,

It's going to be hard, isn't it......

Should we be glad she didn't come to school today?

In the morning reading class, Yechen kept thinking about Xiao Sheng's affairs, and lay on the table listlessly

Xia Qiao, who supervised the morning reading, glanced at Yechen

I was a little surprised to see the band-aid, and then I was a little distressed, but now it's not very convenient to show it

Yechen tilted his head to look at the sycamore outside the window

The band-aid on his face still felt the slightest pain

The mood is terrible

Let's go to her house in the afternoon......

However, in the afternoon, Yechen and Xia Qing agreed to go together, but Xia Qing had a lot of things to deal with because the school had just started, so only Yechen went alone

Yechen followed the address sent on his mobile phone and walked a completely unfamiliar road,

He was always thinking, what should he say when he saw Xiao Sheng?

Back to school? Listen to the gossip?

Not going back to school? Just hiding at home all the time?

Originally, as a friend, I couldn't point a finger at her choice

But for Yechen, I still hope that she can come out, whether it is because of Xia Qing's request or because of the sympathy of the same disease

The black door was like an abyss, revealing an attraction, but Yechen felt powerless

The knock on the door rang as promised

But there was a deathly silence that could not convey a response

Yechen knocked on the door again, because it was a surprise visit, so he didn't know if anyone was at home

But this time, it seems that I heard the sound of slippers hitting the floor, which is a little messy

It was not Xiao Sheng who opened the door, but a middle-aged woman, probably Xiao Sheng's mother

"Auntie, hello, I'm Xiao Sheng's friend, Yechen"

She leaned against the door and carefully examined the night in front of her, the smell of wine and smoke revealed on her body could be clearly felt even in the night a few steps away

"Oh, I know you, come in"

Yechen followed her in

The curtains didn't open, and the room was dim

Beer bottles were scattered messily on the table, and ashtrays seemed to be filled with cigarette butts

The cigarette that had not yet had time to be extinguished rose and curled white smoke

It's a little choking

"Sit down"

She didn't look at Yechen again, but sat down to herself, picked up the unfinished beer bottle and took a sip, extinguished the cigarette butt by the way, and lit a new cigarette

"Auntie, where is Xiao Sheng?"

Yechen looked a little cramped, and it seemed that there was a depressing smell in the room, which made people a little breathless

"The door in the room, since yesterday, has not been opened"

Yechen followed her fingers and looked at the closed door, which seemed to be dead silent, and there was no sound at all

It seems that she really doesn't want to come out again

"I've heard about that kid."

"Sorry, Auntie"

Yechen regretted why he didn't arrive sooner, but until now, Yechen didn't know why these things had spread in the school

"I've been to the school, and I've heard what those people say about my daughter, and I know who spread such rumors, but the school only verbally warned those people on the grounds that 'no real harm was caused', and even said that the injuries of those two people might have something to do with us, and asked me to apologize quickly."

Hearing such bullshit-like words, Yechen was stunned

Eh, no real harm?

Xiao Sheng has been traumatized so much, is school bullying harmful?

What those people do is not harmful?

Does it really have to be Xiao Sheng's death and physical injuries to define ™ those people as bullies?

The bully is at ease, but the injured person's life has been ruined!

A deep sense of disgust welled up in Yechen's heart

He looked at Xiao Sheng's closed door

It's not just this door that closes, it's even Xiao Sheng's heart

Is that what justice is all about?

"Auntie, I'm ......"

Yechen couldn't do anything, and in front of many, many things, he could only bow his head and silently endure this powerlessness and pain

There was an eerie chill in the room, which made Yechen can't help but wrap her clothes a little

"I, I, as a mother, can't even protect my own daughter, whether it is now or that time, I am not worthy"

The beer bottle she held in her hand was shaking, the cigarette on her lips was only a cigarette butt, and tears kept flowing from the corners of her eyes

"Auntie......"

The comforting sentence I thought of was directly blocked in my throat, and I didn't know what to say in the face of such a thing

I can't even pray 'I wish all the best'

Yechen's heart also began to tremble, angry? Impotence? Probably both

The cigarette butt at the corner of her mouth had fallen on the floor, the beer bottle in her hand was already empty, the tears in the corners of her eyes could not be stopped, and her messy hair covered most of her face

I can only lie on the table and endure the sound of crying

Beer bottles that have been deformed

Cigarettes that are too late to extinguish

The sound of sobbing that I struggled to hold

Strive to maintain the last dignity of being a mother

It's just a mother who is drunk and crazy for the sake of her daughter

But in the hearts of that group, it is nothing.

There seemed to be the sound of a crow coming from the window.

Yechen struggled to get up from his seat, and walked towards the door with a slightly swaying step,

The strength in his body seemed to be drained by the darkness mixed with the sound of crying.

But finally I walked to the door

"Xiao Sheng"

But there was no response from inside, as expected, only a few crisp knocks on the door, echoing

None of the words of consolation in the imagination seem to be used

In the end, I can only spit out such a sentence

"Auntie and I both hope you are well"

Speaking out, saying such things to the injured person probably has no effect

There was still no sound coming from the other side of the door, but Yechen seemed to have run out of strength, so he had to lean against the door

Powerlessness, anger

But he didn't know Xiao Sheng on the other side of the door

In the dimly lit room, there was only the sound of the second hand turning, like a death knell

The cotton of the pillow was scattered on the bed, and the knife stuck in it showed only the handle and a trace of reflection

And Xiao Sheng squatted with his legs in a pile of clothes

There was nothing in the numb eyes
