Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Great Secret

This old man is a kind-hearted person who happened to meet before, when she and Xie Qiu went to play in Prince Gong's mansion, and met two crows when taking pictures under the first blessing monument in the world, just when the two of them were about to return home, the old man opened his mouth to explain that the crow is a sacred bird, which can suppress evil spirits, and there is a saying that the crow has good news and Zhou Xing, so that the two can feel at ease.

The old man in the photo is more radiant than when they met before, and he looks like a bookish atmosphere that can't be hidden. And the girl standing next to the old man was Zhu Rui, who had thrown herself into the sea, and she had also been in contact with this old man. Watching her affectionately holding the old man's arm and snuggling up to take pictures together, the relationship between the two is probably not as simple as knowing each other.

Although Zhang Xianxian was very surprised by the appearance of these two people in the group photo, he did not have any panic in his heart. However, when her eyes saw the third person next to the old man, her originally firm psychological defense line collapsed in an instant, and a chill that pierced her heart rushed down her spine to the Heavenly Spirit Gai.

Because the other person next to the old man was none other than Wang Li, Xie Qiu's assistant she was most familiar with. It was also the day Xie Qiu had an accident, and when she couldn't contact Xie Qiu, she was the first person to think of contacting.

Zhang Xianxian remembered what the police had said, after Xie Qiu's death, the police suspected his assistant Wang Li for the first time, but they did not find real clues and reasons to prove that he had the possibility of killing Xie Qiu. At that time, when she heard the police say this, she also seriously questioned the police's ability to solve the case, after all, in her mind, Wang Li was Xie Qiu's family and a brother-like existence.

She remembered very well that when Xie Qiu was alive, she would often tell her about some work things, including a lot of praise for Wang Li. For example, how serious Wang Li is in doing things, how good he is in dealing with people, and how powerful he is in scientific research.

In the face of such a person and such an intimate relationship, she never questioned him, but she never expected that Wang Li behind it would be so unfamiliar. The relationship between Wang Li and Zhu Xiang, the photos of Wang Li and Zhu Rui together, and the interaction between Wang Li and the old man all seem to hint at the cause of Xie Qiu's death.

Therefore, Zhang Xianxian had to force himself to study this diary extremely seriously. Through continuous reading and analysis, she suddenly found that Wang Li's appearance on weekdays seemed to be more like a perfect character, just a means of survival and social needs.

She found that when Zhu Xiang mentioned the name Wang Li in his diary for the first time, Zhu Rui had already had several love experiences, and Zhu Xiang, who was not much younger than Zhu Rui, was already a little unbalanced in his heart. Zhu Xiang's appearance can't be said to be overwhelming, but he thinks he can handle it, why can my sister make so many boys willingly bow down under the pomegranate skirt, but she can't?

This unwillingness and jealousy slowly devoured Zhu Xiang's heart, making her complain and complain more and more about her sister in her diary. Until one day, an incident happened that became the fuse for the real breakdown of the sisterhood, which made Zhu Xiang's jealousy of Zhu Rui increase dozens of times.

And this matter is obviously inseparable from Zhu Xiang's superstition, another character trait, which has nothing to do with it.

According to the description in the diary, Zhu Xiang is actually a very superstitious person, she has been worshiping some strange forces in mythological books since she was very young, and even used her pocket money to buy a palm-sized statue of Guanyin when she was in junior high school, and kept it on the bedside table.

Perhaps her habit stems from her mother's gratitude for giving birth to her own daughter after adopting Zhu Rui, and the gratitude and karma that the old man talks about every day make her even more convinced. Therefore, Zhu Xiang also believes very much in some fortune-telling and photo-telling people at roadside stalls.

In the diary, it is recorded that Zhu Xiang once went to a certain place to visit an old woman who looked at her face in order to seek justice, but the old woman disappeared quietly after receiving Zhu Xiang's 800 yuan living expenses.

If this matter were replaced by other people, they would definitely grow wiser, and they felt that many people were scammers who cheated money. But Zhu Xiang didn't think so, even if this happened, she felt that this was a test of God, a test of whether she was really devout to metaphysics.

What she needed to do was to be more attentive and religious, so much so that a roommate wanted to go out to the toilet at two o'clock in the middle of the night, so she asked her friend Zhu Xiang to accompany her, and she refused without hesitation. Then on the second day, the roommate had a cold and fever and took a half-day off, but Zhu Xiang had nothing to do.

In Zhu Xiang's own diary, she described the incident like this: Two or three o'clock in the morning is the time of the day when the yang energy is the weakest and the yin energy is the strongest. I was well aware of this and would not accompany her to the toilet, which turned out to be correct!

I also have to remember that I can't look in the mirror at midnight, the mirror will take the soul into the mirror, leaving only a shell, and I have to be more careful about what my sister said, in short, I must maintain a sense of awe for the mysterious things, and avoid it with great conviction.

With these things as a foreshadowing, Zhu Xiang's later incident became an expected inevitability.

The reason for the incident was that she met a good friend in the college club, who had been single for a long, long time like her, and belonged to the kind of widow who didn't recruit peach blossoms. However, just because one day, the widow king and a male classmate who had a good impression of each other went to Prince Gong's mansion and took a group photo in front of the Fuzi monument.

Less than a day after returning to school, everyone's circle of friends and QQ space came with the news of the official announcement of these two people. Zhu Xiang, who saw this, was shocked, she completely believed every word that the other party said, and immediately became full of confidence in taking off the list.

Zhang Xianxian couldn't help rolling her eyes when she saw her text, she felt that feelings were never so simple, and they could even be solved by metaphysics. She believed that Zhu Xiang's good friend and the boy must have understood and interacted before, and it was not simply a matter of going to take pictures in front of the Fuzi Monument, and the two of them would make an official announcement.

Such a simple thing, how could Zhu Xiang, a scholar who studied in college, not think of it?

And according to the records in the diary, Zhu Xiang not only couldn't think of this, she even ran to Prince Gong's Mansion alone at noon after her good friend's official announcement, planning to follow her good friend's example, and also take pictures under the blessing tablet to get a dip in blessings.

Zhu Xiang hopes that he can find the love of his life as soon as possible, and then be liked and sought after more than his sister. This time I played, I don't know if it's crooked good luck, or if there is really a magical metaphysics in the world, anyway, after she worshiped the blessing tablet, it happened.

Before Zhu Xiang left Prince Gong's mansion, she met the boy who was destined to appear in her life, and this person was Wang Li! The first time the two met was at the gate of the palace, because there were too many people, Zhu Xiang accidentally lost his satchel when he was about to go out, and he didn't find out until he went out.

In desperation, Zhu Xiang could only ask for help from the staff and try to go in again to find it. At this time, a white and beautiful hand poked her left back shoulder and said, "Hello classmate, did you lose this bag?" I just saw it over there! ”

Hearing this, Zhu Xiang, who was in a hurry, turned his head and saw the boy who spoke with thick eyebrows and sword eyes, wearing a pair of slim jeans and a checkered shirt, which was the standard version of a proper science and engineering man.

Zhu Xiang hurriedly said "um", quickly took the schoolbag, and said with a trace of gratitude in his eyes: "Thank you, thank you!" ”

"It's okay, the fried chestnuts with sugar you just bought, do you want to eat them?" The boy handed Zhu Xiang the paper bag he was holding in his other hand, which contained the freshly bought sugar-fried chestnuts, steaming hot and smelling fragrant.

Zhu Xiang didn't like to eat chestnuts, she subconsciously wanted to refuse, but the moment she spoke, she remembered the purpose of her trip. She glanced at the boy, and reached out to touch two chestnuts.

"Thanks, I'll eat two enough!"

"Uh-huh, you can taste a few more, it's delicious, then, then I'll leave beforehand!"

"Bye-bye!"

This was the first time the two met, and later, for some reason, the two met again in the school library. The few words that Zhu Xiang wrote in his diary were the second meeting between Zhu Xiang and Wang Li, and after this meeting, she knew that the two were in the same school again, and even the usual classes were not far apart.

Since then, the two have often "met by chance" in different places, and their relationship has gradually become acquainted, during which Wang Li told Zhu Xiang that he would soon stay at the school to teach. After Zhu Xiang heard the news, she didn't think about it and said that she would also try to stay in school so that she could see him every day.

Zhang Xianxian found that in Zhu Xiang's diary, he wrote very carefully about the things between the two in those days, and usually only wrote two or three lines a day, and in those days, there were more than one page in the diary every day. According to logic, Zhu Xiang seems to be in love, but this relationship is more like an unrequited love, because from the diary, you can only see her single fantasy of a little girl who longs for love.

In order to find more clues, Zhang Xianxian kept reading back, and she found that in the diary behind, Zhu Xiang's description of Zhu Rui was more. However, unlike the previous article, after getting to know Wang Li, Zhu Xiang's negative descriptions of Zhu Rui began to increase, including "Zhu Rui, I hate you!" Such a very clear word.

In fact, everything in this diary is Zhu Xiang's personal inner monologue, and Zhang Xianxian connected the information he got while reading it, and it was not until the end that he figured out the complete process of this relationship.

In this regard, Zhang Xianxian made such a review:

About half a month after Zhu Xiang and Wang Li met, they had dinner outside the school, and Zhu Xiang heard the name Zhu Rui from Wang Li for the first time. At first, she thought it was just a coincidence, after all, there were many people with the same name and surname, but with Wang Li's description of Zhu Rui in his mouth, the smart Zhu Xiang immediately realized that the Zhu Rui Wang Li was talking about was his sister!

Later, Zhu Xiang became more and more fond of Wang Li, and Wang Li has always been lukewarm to her. Zhu Xiang was puzzled, thinking of Wang Li's eyebrows dancing when he talked about Zhu Rui, Zhu Xiang subconsciously felt that Wang Li and Zhu Rui had something to do with him. So there was a big fuss, and in the end, the two broke up unhappily, and it wasn't until the two had an open and honest conversation in the next few days that Zhu Rui knew that Wang Li and his sister Zhu Rui were not that kind of relationship.

It turns out that there is a big secret between Wang Li and Zhu Rui that no one knows, and this big secret is related to Zhu Rui's first relationship, which is the talented Fan Wen.
