Chapter Twenty-Four: Escape from Death
That night was the first time I saw Qin Shen's lonely appearance.
His silhouette dried up in the night, a slight flutter, and a pair of pupils seemed to reflect the gray shadow on the calm surface of the lake, revealing a lonely hue.
He seemed to be crying, crying, and I stared at his silhouette, which was losing clarity, an expression of unease floating on his face.
He was probably too tired to speak to the outside world, and he closed his mouth in frustration, superimposing a new silence on top of the old one.
Li Yunling patted Qin Shen's shoulder, and Qin Shen shook his head helplessly.
Looking at the back of Qin Shen and the policeman leaving in a hurry, the distressed pain sprouted.
"Let's go." Li Yunling said to me.
I looked at Qin Shen's back and didn't answer.
At this moment, I really feel sorry for Qin Shen, and I want to give him a hug desperately.
However, the heavy tiredness kept me from reaching out my hands.
On the way down the mountain, his parents were politely thanking Li Yunling.
By the time we got out on the street, I was exhausted.
In a daze, I had forgotten how I said goodbye to Li Yunling and how I got into the taxi.
I remember coming home and it was already getting dark. I didn't have time to wash, and I didn't care about anything clean.
I took off my clothes and climbed into bed, and fell into a deep sleep almost the moment my eyes were closed.
It was really the longest night I've ever had.
I don't remember how long it took in the dream, I just remember waking up and it was 5 o'clock the next day.
The two-day sports meeting is coming to an end, but I didn't expect such twists and turns.
I'm going to go to the stadium after picking myself up, after all, there are still a lot of things to deal with, and I have to figure out how to explain it to Mr. Yi.
After all, as a student, he went alone in the deep mountains and old forests late at night, and accidentally crashed into a murder case and almost fell into the wolf's mouth. This kind of earth-shattering event will become a big gossip that circulates throughout the school and is hotly talked about.
I didn't expect that I, who was not the most beautiful and not the best in grades, could become a well-known topic in the school because of endless scandals, and I was in the limelight for a while. I really don't know whether to rejoice or sorrow.
Since it was not early, I took a taxi in a hurry and returned to the stadium in a daze.
As soon as I got back, my classmates surrounded me and asked me if I had encountered a murderer.
Fortunately, after all, they didn't focus on the fact that Qin Shen and I didn't return all night in the deep mountains, so they were a little glad in their hearts.
I told me about the bizarre experience last night, and the students pricked up their ears, for fear of missing any small details.
Just as I was telling a story, Su Xiaoman walked up to me.
Su Xiaoman is actually here!
"Ahh You guys, where the hell did you go yesterday, do you know my .....?"
Before I finished my words, Su Xiaoman hugged me, she cried, and her body trembled slightly because of excitement.
"I'm sorry, Wen Qian! I just couldn't think about it yesterday to be like that to you, and I ran out into the street, but I didn't really want to do that...... I've already heard about you and Qin Shen going up the mountain to find me last night...... I'm sorry, it's all me, and if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been in such a dangerous situation....... It's all my fault, it's all my bad ......"
I touched Su Xiaoman's head, although it was very dangerous last night, but fortunately, nothing happened.
"It's okay, aren't we both good in front of you? I have a problem myself, and I shouldn't be so self-assertive as to match you with whoever it is...... I'll worry less about pulling in the future. ”
Su Xiaoman wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
"Uh-huh, you're still good to me......"
Su Xiaoman and I hugged each other tightly.
"You two are so crooked....."
Qin Shen said in the back.
After being ridiculed, Su Xiaoman and I immediately let go of each other.
Qin Shen changed a set of clothes, his hair was washed, and his body was fragrant, but the whole person's complexion was not very good, and he still had dark circles under his eyes, which looked quite haggard.
The heroes and heroines of this scandal have gathered, and in the midst of the discussion among my classmates, I quickly pulled Qin Shen to another place.
"Well, I have a question for you."
"Say it."
"Have you always lived alone in your house?"
Qin Shen raised his eyebrows.
"Right? What, want to come? ”
"Oh, don't be poor. Didn't everyone say you lived in a villa in the suburbs, so why did you go back last night? ”
"Just kidding, Auntie, you don't use your brains either? Of course, I usually live in a rented house near the school, and last night after making a note, the police uncle sent me back, and when I went home, I looked, but fortunately, my key was still in my wallet, which scared me to death, in case the key was lost in the mountains, I wouldn't be cold. ”
"I see......"
It's quite pitiful for Qin Shen to live alone at such a young age.
Then came the closing ceremony and award ceremony of the sports meeting, due to the absence of Qin Shen, an athlete in our class, Chen
Zechao can be said to be the leader, and Class 5 deservedly won the first place. Seeing Chen Zechao's triumphant appearance on behalf of Class 5 on behalf of Class 5 to accept the award, I was angry like a puffer fish offstage.
Okay, you Chen Zechao, if it weren't for you, how could Su Xiaoman run away, if it weren't for Su Xiaoman running away, how could Qin Shen and I face the danger of dying for life.
Although he didn't know what was going on, if this long chain of events was like dominoes, then Chen Zechao must be the one who pushed the first chapter cards. If he caused a hurricane, he was a butterfly with no heart or lungs flapping its wings a few kilometers away.
My eyes flashed with scorching firelight, turning into sharp arrows and flying towards the distant, spring-faced Chen Zechao.
"What's the matter, why do you look so weird?"
I immediately stopped my hideous face, and looked sideways, it was Li Yunling.
I didn't have time to thank him last night.
I bowed to him and bowed ninety degrees with my hands clenched into fists.
The amplitude was too large, the movement was too violent, and the moment I bent over, I heard a click.
"Thank you for your great kindness! Thank you for going out of your way to come up to us so late last night, but luckily you were informed before you went up the mountain! Otherwise, we will die! Thank you really for saving your life, it's not because of you, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to say thank you! ”
Li Yunling looked at me and smiled. For this kind of iceberg, his smile is really rare.
"You're talking funny. Wouldn't it be normal for classmates to help each other? Can I see death and not be saved? If it's me missing, you won't sit idly by~"
"That's for sure, if you need anything from me in the future, just mention it!"
"A word is a certainty, and you can't regret it when the time comes! I have a very good memory, and it doesn't work to do anything to regret it. ”
Li Yunling stretched out his hand and pulled a hook with me.
Li Yunling's smile was now like an iceberg that had melted, and the moment he touched his fingers, he felt that his fingers were no longer so cold.
It was the first time in a long time that I felt close to him.
