Chapter 215: Becoming Like You
The man at the head of the plane seemed to listen to Takahashi's sister, he looked at me in surprise, and finally didn't say anything and let Takahashi's sister take it away, who glanced at Kika behind us with fear before leaving.
On the way, I glanced at Ji Xiang in the back row through the rearview mirror and asked her, "Those two boys just now are your friends?" ”
Ji Xiang bit her lip and lowered her head, instinctively not wanting to deal with me.
I took her and Li Xihe to a high-end western restaurant in the center of the city and sat down at the reserved place.
Ji Xiang doesn't often go in and out of such places, and looks around nervously. Those who dress extraordinarily and even have their own aura make her very cramped. Pay special attention to their manners and behaviors at the table, for fear that their actions will be too indecent and make jokes for a while.
She is a girl who is good at observing words and feelings.
I took in her looks, then tapped the cup with a fork and called the waiter.
"What do you need, sir?" The well-trained waiter asked me respectfully.
With a gentle smile on my face, I said to him, "Our young lady is a little nervous and doesn't like crowded places very much. Can you clear the game? I've got it here today. ”
As soon as the words fell, Li Xihe, Ji Xiang, and the waiter all looked at me with ghost-like eyes, especially the waiter, who gasped, as if to say, 'Do you know what kind of place this is!' This is the most high-end western restaurant in Dabancheng, you say that you will clear the field? ’
"Sir...... You're kidding me, aren't you? The waiter's eyelids were pounding, and cold sweat was oozing from his forehead.
"That's right, where you can call the shots." Then I picked up my phone and dialed Yagami Shinhisa's number, "Hey, Brother Shinhisa, please do me a favor......"
Ten minutes later, we were the only ones left at the table in the huge restaurant, and the manager nodded and introduced us to the special dishes here.
After ordering, I said to the manager, "We need to be quiet, and no one will disturb us except for serving." ”
"Yes, yes, I wish Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen's friends a happy meal."
I looked at the departing manager with satisfaction, and I couldn't help but feel a little happy in my heart. Of course, this is all arranged by me in advance, this is a restaurant under the Yagami Restaurant Group, Shen Jiu is familiar with the owner here, I wrapped this place in the morning, and the customers who pretended to be cleared by me just now are also extras who have been arranged. Otherwise, in a world-famous place like Dabancheng, this is the most high-end Western restaurant, and I can't tell which foreign awesome people happen to eat here. And I'm not that domineering.
I looked at Ji Xiang and said, "You should know who I am." I haven't done much bad in my life, and I owe you a debt. If your father hadn't opened the door and let me in to buy a little time, I would have died. ”
I glanced at Li Xihe opposite, and she took over the conversation knowingly and said, "Ji Xiang, Mr. Chen intends to make up for you, we know that no matter what we do, we can't get back your parents' lives, but please let us do a little bit." Whatever you wish, he will definitely help you make it happen. ”
Ji Xiang raised his head and looked at me, his eyes flushed, and said, "What do you think...... You're better off doing that, aren't you? ”
"I will not forget them, never. As long as you want, you can tell me any request at any time, as long as I, Chen Mo, am still alive, I will do my best to help you realize it. ”
She shook her head, "Wait a minute, you can send me back to put incense on my parents, something else...... I don't want anything. ”
I agreed. After that, the whole meal was very tasteless, even though the dishes here were already one of the few in the entire mirage. Ji Xiang hardly touched the staple food, and only ate a little when the last dessert came up. So I asked the waitress to serve all the desserts, but she didn't touch the desserts again.
I inadvertently saw a strangulation mark on the ankle of Ji Xiang's left hand, "You're at school...... Are you often bullied? ”
She raised her head and looked at me in horror, and quickly covered her wrist with her sleeve, "No, no! ”
I took a closer look at Ji Xiang, her appearance is not shockingly beautiful, but she is very durable and the conditions are very good, if she dresses up, she must be a little beauty. And such a girl is usually very inconspicuous in social interactions, and it is easy to be ignored in school and class. If you have a weak personality, or are targeted by some people with other intentions......
Sending Ji Xiang home, I motioned for Li Xihe to wait for me in the car, and some words I asked her alone might be more effective.
Ji Xiang took me upstairs and into the house, where it had been cleaned. On the altar in the corner of the living room is a gray and white photo of Ji Xiang's parents. I lit incense and bowed to them three times, and then inserted it into the incense stick.
Turning around, Ji Xiang lowered her head and bit her lip and stood behind me, her mood looking heavy. I took a heavy breath and said to her, "I have something to tell you......"
She raised her head to look at me, her expression a little distorted in pain, "Mr. Chen......"
"Huh?"
She raised her trembling hands, and my pupils involuntarily shrank, because at this time, she was holding a silver kitchen knife, and the sharp tip of the knife was pointing at me!
"I don't want to live like this again...... Now even my parents are dead. But why...... Why can people like you live well? It's so chic and moisturizing! We never rebel...... We are obedient and obedient, why is this the result! ”
Her face was full of hideousness, and tears were all over her face.
This time, I couldn't find a reason to convince myself, "I'm sorry, I won't resist if you want to kill me." ”
Ji Xiang took two steps towards me and raised the sharp knife in his hand. I subconsciously wanted to retreat, but I couldn't help it.
In fact, if she took one more step, or stretched her arm forward, the knife could pierce me in the heart. However, Ji Xiang only hesitated for a few seconds before giving up, she sat down on the ground with a bang like a deflated ball, and began to cry with her head in her arms...... Desperately apologize to me.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry...... I shouldn't have pointed a knife at you...... I was wrong...... Don't, don't hit me......" She said more and more quietly, until at last only the sound of sobbing remained.
I crouched down and took her into my arms, and I didn't know what else I could do to comfort her. Ji Xiang's body trembled violently the moment she touched me, and then she put her head into my chest and cried bitterly.
I was so uncomfortable that I couldn't say a word.
……
I don't know how long it took, Ji Xiang gradually quieted down in my arms, the crying just now seemed to drain all her strength, and I was even a little worried that she wouldn't be able to sleep like this.
But she didn't fall asleep, staring at the floor with empty eyes.
"They...... I would often snatch my wallet and take the contents of it. Say, if I tell someone, hit me. I didn't tell anyone, but they still ......."
Ji Xiang said in a weak voice.
"Later, they would be forcibly taken to an abandoned factory and sometimes a garage on the way to school...... I was asked to comply with their demands. They always say, 'Let's do that,' 'I want to try it,' and it's like they're imitating AV......"
Her voice trembled a little, and even when I listened to her, my body trembled unconsciously, "Don't say what you don't want to say." ”
Ji Xiang shook his head, "Later, if I deliberately avoided them, they would lock me up, and I was locked up for three days at the most...... They strangled me with ropes, and then a lot of boys came...... Finally forced me to take medicine before letting me go. ”
At this time, I clenched my hands into fists and asked her in a trembling voice, "You ...... Do you want to kill them? ”
"I don't dare to ......" Ji Xiang suddenly raised his head and looked at me, "I don't want to be like this anymore, I don't want to be bullied by them anymore, and I don't want to die like my parents and them for no reason." ”
"What do you want?"
"I want to be like you!"
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, then opened my eyes and looked at her solemnly.
"Good!"
