Chapter 56
Chapter 55 – Panic
Are you really going to scare me to death?
After thinking about it, I don’t want to go up.
She sent Mu Qinglin a WeChat message, saying that she would sort the clothes into categories, fold them neatly, and throw them in.
Mu Qinglin made a friendly reminder: [It’s useless outside, it’s just a cabinet, throwing it in will still cause confusion…]
Zhou Yi: 【Do you understand what is the process of enjoying? 】
Mu Qinglin: [I don’t understand, come up quickly…]
Zhou Yi:【/I can’t hear you】
Mu Qinglin: [Then I’ll sleep first, don’t dawdle…]
Zhou Yi:【/Dazed】
Who are you kidding?
She didn’t believe that anyone could not sleep for a while after sleeping for eight hours.
Zhou Yi safely put her phone in her pocket and started to walk around downstairs.
It is deceitful to say that the classification is deceptive. The real purpose of her not wanting to go back is to bask in the moon covered by dark clouds because of a blinking and remorseful intestines, so that it can re-establish a good hope for life, otherwise she feels that she is considered to be tonight. No more sleep.
Zhou Yi walks slowly.
It was already half an hour later when I came back.
Mu Qinglin actually fell asleep.
Sleeping in the guest room, it is obvious that he wants to give up the master bedroom to Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi was disrespectful, and happily ran to Mu Qinglin’s clinic to lie down for a while, and then wandered out, watching Mu Qinglin suspiciously from the crack of the guest room door, trying to make sure if she was pretending to sleep.
After realizing that she was really tired, Zhou Yixin said what was going on with her today, and her energy was too low.
Thinking that it might be because it took a lot of time to help her with Du Wenfei’s affairs, Zhou Yi quietly pushed open the door, squatted by the bed and looked at Mu Qinglin, and silently told her about the backlog of thoughts in her chest.
Today someone finally knows that I like you.
She doesn’t object.
Does that mean I’m not that bad?
How about you?
Oh yes, you already answered that question.
You said that although I was skinny, you liked it very much.
Anyway, I like it, can I change it?
I’m fine, it’s just…
“It’s just that I’m keeping something from you.” Zhou Yi couldn’t hold back his voice.
Her voice was very low, Mu Qinglin could vaguely hear her, and her eyelids moved, but failed to open.
She simply gave up struggling, and said to Zhou Yi in a side-lying position: “Go to sleep, don’t run around like a mouse.”
Seeing Mu Qinglin’s exhaustion, Zhou Yi pursed his lips, swallowed back what he said, and got up to leave.
He glanced at the quilt that only covered her shoulders, thought for a moment, turned back, helped her pull up a little, and tucked it into the retracted chin.
This movement more or less touches Mu Qinglin’s skin, which is warm and delicate, smooth and soft.
Zhou Yi’s heart, which was chilled by the moon, ignited a small fire.
She tried her best to restrain herself.
When he left, he still didn’t hold back the greed in his heart, and raised his fingers up, as if hooking Mu Qinglin’s chin.
Mu Qinglin didn’t move.
Zhou Yi felt that the trick was successful, he held that finger, and secretly laughed.
Two seconds later, he was nailed to the spot by Mu Qinglin’s warning.
“If you make a small move again, your hand will be chopped off.”
How familiar words.
Isn’t that her catchphrase?
How harsh it sounds now.
Suddenly very upset.
Zhou Yi dropped his hands and left the guest room without looking back.
—
During the big class break, Mu Zipei turned to the back and chatted with Xu Chi and Wei Zhao about animation in full swing.
Speaking of one of the controversial supporting roles, Wei Zhao was crushed two to one by the other two, and unwillingly poked Zhou Yi on the back of the shoulder with a pen, saying, “Zhou Yi, have you seen it?”
Zhou Yi raised his shoulders and pressed back, as if it was very uncomfortable there, and then in the posture of lowering his head to write the question, he said: “I haven’t read it, and don’t touch me from behind. I’m in a bad mood, so I turned my face lightly. Heavy breakup.”
Hiss, it’s terrible.
Mu Zipei clasped her hands together, called Xu Chi and Wei Zhao to her, leaned her head together and said to them, “My tablemate has been depressed for the past few days, should we find a way to tease her?”
The two stepped back at the same time.
For them, the difficulty of teasing Zhou Yi is like “one arrow and nine stars”. Although the possibility has been successfully confirmed by scientists, it is really relying on human power to reach the sky, and it is not something mediocre people like them dare to dream about.
Mu Zipei watched the two of them silently for a long time, but he still felt that it was more reliable to tap his own wisdom.
Soon she thought of a brilliant idea.
Mu Zipei stepped on the crossbeam of Zhou Yi’s chair, folded her arms to her knees, touched Zhou Yi’s arm with her chin and said, “Xiao Jiu, it’s your birthday soon, do you want me to call someone to do it for you?” What? After all, your age is considered a long life in our class.”
The corner of Zhou Yi’s mouth twitched, and he said coolly, “Thank you.”
Mu Zipei found himself stepping on a thunderbolt, rolled his eyes twice, and asked self-consciously: “Then it’s settled?”
Zhou Yi was hurt by Mu Zipei’s chin, she shrank back suddenly, not sensitive to work, “I don’t do it…”
Mu Zipei suddenly lost his support, and his head fell on Zhou Yi.
She muttered and sat up, as if she hadn’t heard what Zhou Yi said, and continued to ask her, “Who do you think is more pleasing to the eye in our class?”
Zhou Yi said casually: “Everyone is pleasing to the eye now.”
This is the truth.
Since Du Wenfei didn’t come to school, Mu Zipei’s range of activities has expanded directly from her side to the whole class, shared by more than forty other people, her ears have become much quieter, how can she dislike the people who rescued her?
When Mu Zipei heard this, he immediately made a decision, “Then I’ll call them all!”
Zhou Yi, “Why did you call me?”
“I wish you a big birthday.”
“…” Can’t understand human words?
Zhou Yi turned his head, looked at Mu Zipei with indifferent eyes and said, “How did you know about my birthday?”
Mu Zipei was proud, “My sister’s WeChat.”
“Your sister’s WeChat?” Zhou Yi was suspicious, “What’s on her WeChat?”
“I’ll show you.” Mu Zipei was eager to share, and regardless of whether Lian Weimin would suddenly appear, Ma Liu pulled out a photo from his phone and showed it to Zhou Yi, “Hey, the chat history between my sister and you, I secretly photographed it, you can read the note she gave you.”
Zhou Yi, who was about to read the content, paused and moved up.
[Nine-19980426-181xxxx2727…]
“My elder sister has a habit. She will write the complete birthday and mobile phone number of the important person to WeChat.” Mu Zipei explained, “A few days ago, she was called home for dinner and did not lock the phone. I secretly sent you It was filmed.”
“How about it, am I smart?” Mu Zipei asked proudly.
Zhou Yi let out a “hmm”, staring at the string of numbers in bold and asked her, “Why did your sister write down this information?”
“I want to remember.” Mu Zipei leaned sideways on the table, “Isn’t WeChat the most commonly used social tool nowadays? With my sister’s IQ, it’s hard for her to remember what she sees every day. She told me before Having said that, remembering these things can not only remind her of those important years and days, but also because once it becomes a subconscious thing, it will not be forgotten at any time, and it is something that is kept in the bottom of my heart.”
“Oh…” Zhou Yi responded, and the corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously.
Mu Qinglin made a note to her, does this mean that she is also something in Mu Qinglin’s heart?
Ok?
She is nothing!
Ok? ?
This is not right!
Zhou Yishen thought that people’s brains would become confused when they were excited, so she didn’t think too much about it, anyway, she just lived in Mu Qinglin’s heart!
After analyzing this point, Zhou Yi was overjoyed, put down his pen and said to Mu Zipei, “Do it! What do you like to eat? I invite you.”
Mu Zipei said without hesitation, “It doesn’t matter what you eat, what matters is the atmosphere.”
“You came late, I don’t know what kind of insanity is sitting in our class, everyone eats a lot, and they are very noisy.” Mu Zipei lowered his voice and quietly discussed with Zhou Yi, “So the place where we eat It must not be too elegant, it is better to be a roadside stall, where not only will you not be beaten, but there will be people responding in the air. Do you have any ideas?”
“Buddha Demon Rooftop.” Zhou Yi’s first reaction was here. The most feared thing in Hongmen Alley is the noise. Sitting on the edge of the rooftop to watch the sunset is particularly atmospheric.
This idea hit it off with Mu Zipei.
“It’s perfect.” Mu Zipei clapped her hands, suddenly thought of something, leaned over and asked, “Do you want to call me sister?”
Zhou Yi definitely wanted to call out, but, “Do you think she can come?”
“Sure, if you don’t come, why does my sister remember your birthday?”
“Oh…”
“Your name?” Mu Zipei asked.
“Hmm…” Zhou Yi had already got the phone, “What time?”
“It’s better to hit the sun than to choose a day, just this Saturday.”
“Row…”
Zhou Yi rested his forehead on the edge of the table, hid his phone in the pocket of the table to organize his words, and tapped for a long time to choose a sentence that read very naturally: [I celebrate my birthday early this Saturday, are you coming? 】
In Provincial Taiwan, Mu Qinglin stayed in the editing room for half an afternoon, and was dazed with editing, and now he is leaning outside drinking coffee to refresh himself.
She’s been in a bad job lately.
In the past, I could keep my mind clear even if I edited a film for more than ten hours, but now it takes two or three hours to reach the limit.
An Xiang heard Mu Qinglin’s phone ring, and called her from the door, “Sister Mu, WeChat.”
Mu Qing responded, straightened her body and walked in.
Seeing Zhou Yi’s WeChat content, Mu Qinglin leaned against the table for a long time without responding.
It wasn’t until An Xiang exclaimed and came over with a large pack of tissues that she realized that she had spilled the unfinished coffee.
“Help me tidy up, thanks.” Mu Qinglin said.
An Xiang nodded repeatedly, “You are welcome, you are busy with your work.”
Mu Qinglin had nothing to do, she just couldn’t figure out how to reply Zhou Yi.
She was going to see Lu He on Saturday morning, even if there was no time conflict, her state afterward might not be suitable for a noisy gathering with many people.
If there is something, it will definitely scare them.
But this is Zhou Yi’s first birthday after they met.
After her birthday, she will be twenty years old, and she can experience the unknown to her heart’s content, the age of rapid growth in failure and disappointment.
Do you really want to be the first person to disappoint Zhou Yi?
Mu Qinglin hesitated, his fingers hung on the keyboard and didn’t know where to fall. It wasn’t until Cui Wenjing came to her and said that the response to the first documentary was very good and she was asked to catch up with the second one. She came back to her senses and quickly replied Zhou Yi: [Sorry, working overtime on Saturday, you may have dispersed in the past . 】
Mu Qinglin didn’t realize that adding the word “sorry” at the beginning of a sentence would make it extra formal.
Zhou Yi could feel that she was staring at Mu Qinglin’s 2,000 yuan transfer followed by Mu Qinglin without moving, until her sight became a large blank, and then she stuffed her phone into the desk pocket.
Although she could understand, she still wanted to take a chance, so she shouldn’t reply so quickly.
Zhou Yixin said.
After persevering for less than a minute, Zhou Yi let out a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, “This person is something you’ve come to like, don’t accept it, hold back.” He took out his phone and asked Mu Qinglin: [How about at night? I can wait for you to finish…]
Mu Qinglin came back quickly: 【It will be very late】
Zhou Yi: 【I can wait forever】
There was no movement from Mu Qinglin for a long time.
Zhou Yi suddenly knew how hard it is to be a strong person like this, and a little uncomfortable, she silently suppressed the discomfort in her heart, and said: [You are testing on the verge of breaking up, you know? 】
【Okay, I can do it if people don’t come, at least remember to say happy birthday/sigh…】
“The other party is typing…”
Mu Qinglin: [Definitely]
[Remember to accept the red envelope]
Zhou Yi swipe down, tap to collect money, and then put the phone inside the school bag, and didn’t take it out until the night when he went to sleep, so he didn’t see the sentence that Mu Qinglin sent and hurriedly retracted :【Where did you spend your birthday? 】
—
On Saturday, a bunch of people came early.
Yang Ling was very pleased to see that Zhou Yi was so popular. She ordered Tang Yuanzhou to change the schedule, and started to work in the kitchen early in the morning. She cooked more than 20 hard dishes before twelve o’clock. Two pots of hot pot were served, and the people who ate were satisfied.
In the afternoon, led by Mu Zipei, the game played non-stop.
Whoever loses will drink water.
According to the rough statistics of the “old birthday star” Zhou Yi, Mu Zipei defeated the other 16 people by himself, and had to go to the toilet every ten minutes because of his stomach.
It was almost eight o’clock, and it was completely dark. Zhou Yi specially invited him up, and was counting the heads. Hei, a logistics expert who was about to call a taxi for these people, confirmed with Zhou Yi, “Where’s that pea?”
Zhou Yi was confused, “Which pea?”
Xiao Hei pointed to the downstairs and gestured, “You just hit me.”
Zhou Yi realized, “Mu Zipei, go to the bathroom.”
“It’s been a long time since I went back. I feel like it’s been 20 minutes.” Wang Susu said.
Wang Yang lost the game, drank a big sip of water, covered his stomach that was about to burst, and said, “Pepe told me to go to the alley to see Fa Cai and his dog girlfriend when he left. Maybe he was just playing.”
“You are neither Mu Zipei’s tablemate nor today’s protagonist, why did she only tell you?” Xu Chi, who had already seen through the essence, began to cut melons.
Everyone understood in seconds, and the booing sound from the rooftop immediately joined together.
Zhou Yi couldn’t take it anymore, so he covered one ear and said to Xiao Hei, “You call a car first, and I’ll go down to find Peas.”
Xiao Hei waved his hand at Zhou Yi with a calm face, signaling her to go away with peace of mind.
Zhou Yi came out from Buddha Demon, but did not find Mu Zipei in the alley. Instead, there were several strings of unseasoned sausages lying on the ground next to the trash can.
The locations are spread out, obviously they fell from a high place in a hurry, and there is a small white shoe that Mu Zipei showed off to her just today at the bottom of the wall…
At that moment, Zhou Yi’s heart sank suddenly, and she pulled out a frame from her closed memory that made her whole body shudder.
She shook her hand to call Mu Zipei.
Several times in a row, no one answered.
The boring reminder audio in the receiver resembles the drums of ancient wars, passionate and rapid, and constantly conveys the military order of “whoever hears the drums and does not advance” is constantly conveyed with that frame of memory.
As a last resort, those memories began to scatter and collide in Zhou Yi’s mind, smashing her sanity to pieces.
She tried her best to dial Mu Qinglin’s phone number, and said to her calmly, “Are you still at work? I might have lost Peipei.”
Mu Qinglin is at home.
Coming out of Lu He’s place, Fu Xiao forced her to go to Hongmen Lane to take a look at her and sent her home.
But she couldn’t tell Zhou Yi this.
Zhou Yi really needs a positive message to stabilize his mind.
Mu Qinglin said in a deep voice: “Stay still in the Buddha and Demon, everything will be discussed after I go over.”
“Okay…” Zhou Yi’s voice trembled uncontrollably.
After the phone was hung up, the faint frolic on the rooftop took the opportunity to creep into his ears, and Zhou Yi’s ears were buzzing.
She couldn’t wait for a second, she quickly turned her head and ran out of the alley, running in the direction Mu Qinglin often walked.
Mu Qinglin didn’t deny it on the phone, so she thought she was at work, and she couldn’t wait to see her now.
Halfway through the run, Zhou Yi stopped abruptly.
She pursed her lips and took a few deep breaths, trying her best to keep her hands steady and tap into the monitoring app at the door of Buddha Demon.
The playback screen clearly recorded Mu Zipei from entering the alley to being pulled out.
The people who pulled her were a few boys, which Zhou Yi had never seen before, but Zhou Yi could recognize Du Wenfei and Xue Qian who were following behind even if they were turned into ashes.
She suddenly remembered what Mu Zipei told her a long time ago, “Du Wenfei, Xue Qian, and a few boys upstairs did what happened to Yao Xiaoqi. Don’t mess with them. They are very vengeful.” of.”
Why didn’t she listen? !
Zhou Yi’s contracted heart rejected the blood oxygen supply, her hands and feet began to go numb, and her mind became dizzy.
A drunken man bumped into her from behind, causing her to stagger a step forward before she finally regained consciousness.
She squeezed her numb hands tightly, pulled the video back, and confirmed the direction in which Du Wenfei and the others left—the east.
The only place where people can hide in the east is the trail leading to the provincial platform. It is dark and crowded, and it is most suitable for doing things that cannot see the light.
Zhou Yi pursed her lips tightly and her face was pale. She tried her best to maintain her composure, called Tang Yuanzhou, and then ran in the direction of the trail, bumping into many people on the way.
Her mind was full of the frightened expression on Mu Zipei’s face after being pushed out by those people.
When she saw Mu Zipei hugging her head and crouching at the base of the wall, being besieged by several tall boys, the blood flowed backwards all over her body.
Zhou Yi didn’t have time to wait for Tang Yuanzhou to come over, let alone think about what he would face when he rushed out.
After making sure that Mu Zipei’s face would not be photographed, she immediately turned on the live broadcast on Weibo’s homepage, pointed the camera at Du Wenfei and the others, and strode across.
Soon someone spotted Zhou Yi and yelled at her, “What are you filming?!”
Zhou Yi’s voice was as cold as ice, “Shooting you scumbags. Isn’t it better to understand campus bullying one by one? It’s too inferior to just stay in the attached middle school. Today I will give you a chance to make a name for yourself.”
Zhou Yi stood still no more than five or six meters away from them.
She looked across the camera at a few people, without any expression on her face, “Do you know how many people I have on Weibo? As long as one person records the screen today, you…”
In the middle of Zhou Yi’s speech, the boys who hit Mu Zipei just now rushed towards her, trying to grab the phone.
The live broadcast screen suddenly became messy.
Unbearable insults mixed with painful moans filled the chaotic background.
Zhou Yi was kicked hard in the abdomen, and her back hit the wall hard. She felt that her internal organs were about to burst, but she still held on tightly and did not let go.
She wanted to delay until Tang Yuanzhou brought someone over.
The more this is the case, the more ruthless those people will attack.
She felt that her fingers could be broken by them, and the scratched place on the back of her hand was burning with pain.
But as long as she thought that Mu Zipei’s attention had been drawn away, she felt that she could still hold on.
Mu Zipei didn’t have a big problem, and when Mu Qing came, she could still explain it, so she had the face to say that she liked her.
…
They still couldn’t get the phone, so they punched Zhou Yi on the head angrily, and her consciousness was a little blurred at the moment.
She shook her head vigorously, trying to keep herself awake.
From the corner of the eye, Mu Zipei caught a glimpse of Mu Zipei who was struggling to stand up and wanted to come over to help, and shouted, “Go find your sister! You can see her if you run out here!”
Mu Zipei was in pain all over, and was terrified to death. The moment she saw Zhou Yi being dragged to the ground by someone’s hair, she mustered up the courage to run over and pull those people.
Her effort was useless at all, instead she threw herself into it.
The real chaos has only just begun.
When Tang Yuanzhou and Ming Kai finally rushed over, Mu Zipei was tightly guarded at the base of the wall.
And Zhou Yi, who can yell for a long time after getting an injection, is carrying the fists and feet of those people with his thin back.
—
The emergency room at ten o’clock is still busy, some people are in a hurry, and some people have difficulty walking straight forward.
Zhou Yi was the latter. Taking advantage of the absence of the doctor, Tang Yuanzhou went to pay the bill again, and forced herself to get up from the hospital bed, wanting to check on Mu Zipei’s situation.
But her body was in so much pain that she could only walk and stop while holding on to the wall.
Suddenly hearing the woman’s worried and anxious question, Zhou Yi clenched his hands back in surprise, and scratched a few obvious marks on the white wall of the hospital.
The debris caught by her inserted into the fingers, swollen and prickly, more unbearable than the dull pain on the shoulder and back.
But these are far from enough to compare with Li Chengqi’s voice.
“Hi, I’m Mu Zipei’s mother. Where is my daughter now? Is it seriously injured?” Li Chengqi asked a passing nurse with restrained worry.
The nurse didn’t know anything, said “sorry” and hurried away.
Li Chengqi couldn’t help crying against Mu Zhenghuai, her voice was very restrained, but in Zhou Yi’s ears it was like the sharpest blade.
Mu Zipei went to Hongmen Lane to celebrate her birthday.
Mu Zipei was hated by Du Wenfei because she was too impulsive.
She really deserves death.
Zhou Yi leaned against the wall and walked up to Li Chengqi with a pale face, wanting to apologize to her.
Before the words came out, the doctor on duty suddenly came out and shouted, “Who is Mu Zipei’s family?”
Li Chengqi agreed, and hurriedly pushed away Zhou Yi who was standing beside him and ran over.
She used an inch of strength that people only have when they are extremely anxious.
Behind Zhou Yi is a solid wall.
Mu Qinglin rushed to the emergency room, and the first thing he saw was Zhou Yi being pushed against the wall, with a heavy “bang” on the back of his head.
That sound hit her heart.
She had just taken the medicine not long ago, and her mood was already stable. On the way, she saw the video that had already gone viral on Weibo, and she fell into extreme agitation that was uncontrollable.
The more depressed she was, the more hostile she appeared to be. When she walked up to Zhou Yi step by step, the latter’s heart was shocked and the blood on his face faded.
“I’m sorry, I started the live broadcast as soon as I saw something was wrong, I can leave evidence, I didn’t slap Pepe in the face, and I can also attract their attention, but Pepe didn’t run away, I called her, she didn’t run away , I have been protecting her since then, sorry…”
Zhou Yi explained incoherently, trying to make Mu Qinglin less angry, but her eyes still looked like she wanted to eat her.
“I’m sorry… I didn’t mean to, no…”
Zhou Yi bit her lip, tears falling crazily.
Those transparent drops of water are colorless and odorless, and when they fall in Mu Qinglin’s eyes, they are thicker than blood.
Her nerves were dominated by the surging emotions in her body.
Can’t control the memories of that live broadcast.
The Zhou Yi she knew was obviously a hypocritical, precious, bad-tempered, bad-mouthed little **** who would get sick every now and then, so she didn’t attract people’s attention only because she was smart and beautiful.
But when it comes to the critical moment, all those cleverness are fed to the dogs? !
It’s not enough to get one in, but you have to catch up with yourself? !
If Tang Yuanzhou hadn’t arrived in time, would she have come to identify the corpse right now? !
Thinking of this, Mu Qinglin couldn’t control his emotions anymore, suppressed his anger and growled, “Zhou Yi! Shut up the fuck!”
She really wanted to slap this shit-talking **** awake!
Raising his hand to mid-air and seeing Zhou Yi’s eyes intertwined with injury, grievance, fear and resignation, Mu Qinglin’s breath froze, and his mind cleared up for a moment.
She was wrong.
She is fine.
And protect Pepe so well.
Not long after going out, Tang Yuanzhou called her at the request of Zhou Yi, who was afraid to talk to her, and said that Mu Zipei was fine, and those people just wanted to scare her, but Zhou Yi’s way of making a video was stimulated Only then did he move for real.
It was Zhou Yi who was really hurt.
She should be praised, not blamed.
Why are you mad at her?
…
Mu Qinglin’s constricted muscles relaxed, and under the gaze of Zhou Yi who gave up resistance, she slowly lowered her hand, touched her red and swollen face lovingly, hugged her into her arms, and said in a difficult voice: “Are you Want to scare me to death?”
