Defeated By Love - Chapter 8

“What’s wrong with me…” Shunian took his words subconsciously, before finishing speaking, looked at him blankly, “You, can you talk?”

Xie Ruhe withdrew his eyes and said nothing.

After reacting, Shunen’s heart was filled with an irritation that was teased. Maybe it is really rare to encounter this situation, her whole face was red, and she was so angry that she couldn’t even speak.

After a while, Shunen suffocated a boring sentence: “How can you be like this…you lie.”

Xie Ruhe frowned: “I didn’t say it.”

“Yes.” Shunen was even more angry by what he said. “You haven’t said anything. I asked if you can’t speak, you don’t speak. Now tell me you haven’t said you can’t speak, you unacceptable!”

Shunen couldn’t think of any excessive words, and couldn’t scold them. Speak incoherently.

Her string of words is like a tongue twister.

Xie Ruhe did not hear clearly, only the last five words she said. When she stopped, he lifted his eyelids and asked calmly, “Is it finished?”

Shunian was taken aback, and immediately retorted: “How can I scold you.”

Hearing that, Xie Ruhe looked carelessly: “Then there won’t be.”

“…”

This attitude is undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire.

Shunen’s eyes were round and big, and they were naturally drooping. At this time, they looked inexplicably pitiful. She took a deep breath and said with a sullen face: “I just spoke for you just now, but you also said that I am also defective.”

Xie Ruhe’s lips moved, without saying anything.

Shunen immediately said: “Is it because I wronged you that day, did you do this?”

“…”

“I’m sorry then!” Her tone was fierce, but it was like a little milk cat grabbing people with nailless paws, “Didn’t I always want to apologize to you, and you don’t listen.”

“I do not have time.”

“You lie.” Shunen unceremoniously opened him up, “You just want to care about me. But I’m so young, it’s normal for me to be inconsiderate. And I will correct it if I know it is wrong. Obviously it is a noble character.”

“…”

“I borrowed your umbrella, and I did a good thing. Because of this, I was scolded by my mother. You still have this attitude towards me. You are too, too unwilling…” Shunian couldn’t scold him, so I had to change my words.” You are too much!”

Xie Ruhe, who was “excessively” twice, found it funny: “Are you here to apologize?”

“Yes.” Shunian immediately held back the fire, her voice dulled, not forgetting her intention, although she felt aggrieved. She took a deep breath and said after a long while: “Sorry, I was too subjective that day. I said something wrong and I wronged you.”

Xie Ruhe hummed softly.

Shunen said: “You should accept my apology.”

But he didn’t react again.

Shunen didn’t want to talk to him anymore, pursing his lips and walking towards the stairs.

“Goodbye then.”

After a long period of time, Shunian never saw Xie Ruhe again. He is on the third floor, and she is on the second floor. If you didn’t look for it deliberately, you wouldn’t have encountered it so accidentally.

Shunen gradually left this episode and this character behind.

In a blink of an eye, half a semester passed, and the midterm exam was ushered in. After the results came out, the school arranged a parent meeting.

After that, something happened at the school.

A big thing.

Only two days have passed since the parent meeting.

Chen Xiang, from Class 5 of the second grade of Shiyan Junior High School, never went home after school. The parents called the head teacher at 10 o’clock that evening. The head teacher immediately contacted a girl who had a close relationship with Chen Xiang, but learned that she had been picked up by her father after school and did not go home with Chen Xiang as usual.

Chen Xiang’s parents immediately realized the seriousness of the problem and went to the police station to report the case.

The facilities in the town are backward, and most areas do not have security cameras. After investigating for two days, the police still couldn’t find Chen Xiang’s trace, except that the last place she appeared was in a convenience store near the school.

Shunen learned this news from Chen Hanzheng’s mouth.

At lunch time, there is no air conditioning in the classroom, and the old fan turns without any effect. Shunian went to the stairs to have lunch with a group of classmates who had a good relationship.

The ventilation here is much better than the stuffy classroom.

Five or six people were chatting.

Shunian adhered to the principle of not speaking, and never spoke, but listened to them seriously.

After a while, Chen Han was suddenly lowering his voice and said mysteriously: “Hey, have you heard that Chen Xiang from Class 5 has been missing for two days.”

Hearing this, the others fell silent.

Before long, a boy smiled and said, “Did you run away from home? Go live with a friend’s house.”

“They have all been checked by the police, definitely not.”

One of the girls opened her mouth, as if she didn’t dare to believe it, her voice stumbling: “Why, how could I disappear?”

“Chen Xiang…” He Xiaoying remembered, “Is it the girl the principal mentioned when the national flag was raised?”

“correct.”

None of them were students in Class 5, and they would have an impression of Chen Xiang because of what happened last week.

Two weeks ago, Chen Xiang went to the city to participate in the youth violin competition and won the first prize. Therefore, during the flag-raising ceremony on Monday, the principal repeatedly praised her on stage.

I remember everything not long ago.

“I haven’t found it anyway.” Chen Hanzheng suddenly looked at Shunian, “Also. Do you know that Xie Ruhe’s father is also here at this parent meeting.”

It’s been a long time since I heard this name.

Shunen’s expression was still stunned, as if thinking about who it was.

Another boy was baffled by his sudden words: “Isn’t the parents coming from the parent meeting? What’s weird about Xie Ruhe’s father coming.”

“My home is near Xie Ruhe’s house.” Chen Hanzheng’s eyes flashed with disgust, “His father is a drunkard and always beats him and his mother.”

Upon hearing this, Shunian stopped his chopsticks and looked at Chen Hanzheng.

“I also heard what my friends from Class 5 said. Xie Ruhe’s father came that day. Chen Xiang was the class leader. When pouring water to the parents, he accidentally spilled the water on Xie Ruhe’s father.”

“Then he beat Chen Xiang?”

“That’s not true.” Chen Hanzheng said, “but don’t you think it’s a bit of a coincidence? Not missing sooner or later, not late, but after Chen Xiang poured water on Xie Ruhe’s father, Chen Xiang disappeared.”

As soon as these words fell, Shunen immediately understood what Chen Hanzheng wanted to express.

The others also thought about that possibility instantly, and were shocked: “No way…”

Although Shunian has no good feelings for Xie Ruhe, she still feels that what Chen Hanzheng said is quite wrong: “Chen Hanzheng, this kind of thing is very serious. It has not been confirmed, so don’t talk nonsense.”

Chen Hanzheng was very upset because of the fact that he always went to Xie Ruhe some time before Shunen.

If it had been before, Chen Hanzheng would definitely have shut up now. But at this time, when he heard her words, he became more angry: “What do you always help Xie Ruhe do? Do you like him?”

Shunian didn’t know why he could come to such a conclusion.

She explained with a good temper: “I didn’t help Xie Ruhe, nor did I speak to his father. I just felt that I couldn’t jump to conclusions rashly. This charge is so heavy that no one can afford it.”

“Shu Nian, who do you tell me so much truth? Isn’t it annoying.” Chen Hanzheng’s expression was cold, and he couldn’t listen to her at all. “Also, you are really blind. I can tell you in advance. Domestic violence is inherited.”

“…”

The other students seemed to be poked to the point of laughter, and burst into laughter.

Shunen squeezed the chopsticks in his hand and closed the lunch box with his eyes down. She stood up, walked downstairs holding the lunch box, quietly, without saying a word.

Someone behind was calling her: “Why are you going to Shunen! Are you angry?”

Shunen didn’t pay attention, and didn’t stop.

They originally sat on the lower row of stairs on the second floor, and then walked one step down to the first floor.

Shunian intends to find a place to solve lunch. She looked around, thinking about whether to return to the classroom altogether, she suddenly noticed that a person walked out of the triangular space under the stairs on the first floor.

Shunian looked over and was stunned.

Compared to two months ago, the hair on the boy’s forehead is longer, his pupils are pitch black and calm, and his body is full of darkness. Obviously wearing a clean school uniform, standing under the bright light, but like living in the dark.

Xie Ruhe looked at Shunian and didn’t know what emotions were in his eyes.

Shunen lowered his eyes and thought, with his soft hair hanging down to his shoulders, his white fingers digging at the lunch box. He was basically sure that he heard what they said. She freed up a hand, fumbled in her pocket for a long time, and turned out a mango gummy.

As I first saw.

She walked over and stuffed the candy into his hand.

“Please have a candy.”

Another week passed.

Chen Xiang was found. It was no longer a fresh life, it became a cold corpse. In the grass next to Wenhua Street, he died alone.

This is the biggest and most serious thing that happened in the small town of Shiyan Town in the past few years.

Chen Xiang’s relatives couldn’t accept this fact, and went to school every day to make trouble, crying and almost fainted. Shunen sat in the classroom every day, and could hear heart-piercing sounds coming from outside.

This matter made the headlines.

The police paid special attention to this case and sent many people from the city. From Chen Xiang and from the surrounding investigations of Chen Xiang’s parents, all parties have considered the possibility, but still can’t capture the trace of the murderer.

In the small town of Hepingding, a murderer suddenly appeared.

A murderer who cannot be seen or caught.

Causes panic.

No one dared to leave their children alone outside.

During that time, when going to school and after school, the parents would pick them up personally.

Even Shunian, Deng Qingyu is busy at work and has to go to work. But I would send Shunian to school every day, and when I asked a friend to pick up the child, I would take Shunian back by the way.

Over time, the incident slowly faded.

Some people speculate that the murderer may have already absconded and left the town. After the winter vacation, after a period of time, most families changed back to their children to go to school by themselves, and then go home by themselves.

after that.

Shunen suddenly discovered that every day when going to school.

There was another person behind her, who had been following her silently.

She held the schoolbag strap and looked back.

The boy was thin and tall, and in such a cold weather, he only added a school uniform jacket outside, never zipping. His complexion was sickly pale, and his lips turned purple.

The peach blossom eyes are dark but bright, dyed with some gentleness.

Stand three meters away from her.

No longer close, no longer far away.
