Chen Yajie stared at her for a long while, then suddenly realized and said:
"I know, are you on your period?"
"Then we should go back to Qingran's house first. Let's have something to warm up first. I have a secret recipe~ and the pain will be gone in no time."
"..."
"No, no, I... Ya Jie, why don't you go first? I need to get my bicycle fixed... I'll come find you when it's fixed."
"Well... that's fine."
Watching Chen Yajie leave, Shen Yanxi felt a significant reduction in pressure.
My mood has also worsened.
She hadn't intended to bother them any further, let alone with that phone call from home...
Like a death warrant,
Who knows, my grandmother might come knocking on our door with a few relatives anytime soon.
That would be too late, and it would ruin everyone's holiday...
Shen Yanxi returned to the classroom and quickly packed her things, stuffing all sorts of books and test papers into her schoolbag.
"If we don't leave now, it will be too late..."
I still have to see them. If Grandma can't find her again, she might make a scene at Uncle Hat's place and report her missing...
wrong...
Shen Yanxi suddenly froze.
Although she had specifically waited until the village was busy with farming and many weddings and funerals were taking place before escaping,
This way, it won't be easy to find out that she's missing.
It's not like we haven't tried to find her when she sneaked out before...
We just didn't expect her to have gone so far; we usually only searched in the nearby villages or the town.
Several months have passed, and my family hasn't come looking for me yet.
They probably knew she was at school quite some time ago, but because they were busy with other things in the village, they didn't bother her.
But once December is over, the one or two months before the Lunar New Year are the quietest time in the village.
so...
Is there someone or something that kept your family waiting until now...?
what is it then...
I've been so focused on the exams lately that I didn't even think about this. Actually, Xixi should have left around the end of December...
At that time, he was all I could think about... I forgot everything else.
"Click."
In a moment of distraction, the backpack zipper, already fully zipped up, snapped in her hand.
This is the backpack she brought from home, the one she's carried since junior high, and she's always used it very carefully.
But in that moment of utter confusion, it was damaged.
Some things, even if only part of them are damaged, can lead to total loss. The backpack's zipper can no longer be closed, rendering the entire backpack unusable...
Just like her, her once wonderful life was suddenly shattered, as if a meteorite had fallen from the sky and landed squarely in her home.
I can no longer stay in a family where I've lost my family ties.
She thought her relatives in the village had come to help her, but it turned out they were all there to take a share of her remaining wealth.
Just for that little bit of money, they want to take away her freedom, saying it's tradition, that her mother also married at that age because her family was poor and had no other choice, so she should hurry up and find a rich family while she's young and pretty...
She didn't believe it.
So she mustered her courage and escaped at all costs, determined to ensure everyone could have beautiful and pure love, to prevent anyone from following in her family's footsteps, and to remain happy herself, determined not to be defeated or affected by anything...
But in those few moments spent with Lin Mo, not only was her worldview shattered... but she even...
It's gotten so dirty.
Life didn't break her; she remained happy and free.
But that fleeting, ethereal emotion left her once proud heart riddled with wounds.
This feeling is like anticipating every day, only to be disappointed every day, then anticipating again after disappointment, and then being disappointed again after anticipation.
Every time she was dealt with like this, it left a bitter taste in her mouth, and she would question her own conscience again, asking why she had started to actively approach her, actively selling her feelings and body when the other person was clearly the most detestable...
Li Qingran always said that there was nothing Lin Mo didn't know...
Could it be that he helped stall Xixi's relatives?
In that case, his statement that he was "very familiar with his grandmother" makes sense.
Although it's unclear how Lin Mo managed to stall, things have come to this point, and it seems he can't hold out any longer...
"Don't think about it anymore, Shen Yanxi..."
"I'll leave for a while anyway."
"Calm yourself down. Besides, you're doing so well in your studies. He was your tribulation, but you've already overcome it. You've become stronger. Now, all you have to do is deal with those annoying relatives and come back to take the college entrance exam. Then you can fly far away!"
Talking to herself, Shen Yanxi tried to cheer herself up again, but then she suddenly remembered that even the ID card and registration fee for the college entrance examination had been prepared for her by Lin Mo...
How can you say that he was your own calamity? Isn't that ungrateful?
So, who turned bad...?
I don't know.
"call..."
Shen Yanxi stood at the classroom door, clutching her backpack with the zipper missing.
On holiday evenings, students always walk very fast.
Her thoughts also changed very quickly.
She usually used her silly, cheerful self-talk to encourage herself, but just now she realized that she had become bad.
Her current mutterings to herself are merely an excuse, a self-deceiving joke.
The real thought is,
She considered leaving, not because she disliked it anymore, not because she no longer felt attached, not because she couldn't persevere...
If you really want to tough it out, that's fine too. Just stubbornly stay at Qingran's house and at school, and don't care if you bother the teachers, classmates, Qingran, Yajie, Yu'en, or Wanfeng...
Anyway, everyone will forgive Xixi, and Xixi will make it up to them.
His attitude made Xixi feel that his world didn't lack a cute Xixi, and that Xixi wasn't so cute after all...
No matter how enthusiastic you are, it won't increase the chances of being cherished.
Unavoidable was the intense, overwhelming joy that came from his slightest concern.
Naturally, he couldn't escape the intense sense of loss that followed his neglect.
That twisting sensation felt like a needle piercing a vein, cold and slowly churning.
Most people are like raindrops slowly sliding across the glass of her life.
Those few people, or more precisely, that one person, were the condensation left on the glass.
It's so clear that you can't see it clearly, yet you can't bear to erase it.
But that final madness ended that night. Xixi was no longer herself; she began to live for others.
So I had no choice but to avoid him and wipe away the blurry mist.
"Honestly, he's always trying to comfort other girls, but now Xixi is even more deeply involved..."
Her self-deprecating remark was unfinished because,
As she turned the corner, footsteps approached, and Shen Yanxi knew it must be Lin Mo.
Want to hide?
I should just say goodbye to him properly.
"Lin Mo..."
"You can't leave."
"Huh?"
It was directly and bluntly exposed.
"What... Xixi's family is here looking for her, can't Xixi leave?" she retorted instinctively.
"Will you obediently comply when you go back?"
"Of course not!"
"Then what are you going back for?"
Shen Yanxi paused for a moment, "Otherwise, it would disturb you..."
"You've been bothering me for so long, what's another six months?" Lin Mo moved closer to her, and Shen Yanxi retreated to the edge of the railing, making a cute little squeak like a small animal.
"It's precisely because we've been bothering you for so long... that we can't cause any more trouble."
“But you can’t leave either, that’s a fact.” Lin Mo loosened his grip on her body, and naturally, she leaned against the railing with him.
Her scent was becoming increasingly similar to Li Qingran's. If they ate, lived, and washed the same things, it was true that a beautiful young girl's natural fragrance could be cultivated.
"...Are you going to arrest Xixi...?"
"No, but your family sold you to me."
"Huh?! You..."
Shen Yanxi screamed, but Lin Mo covered her mouth halfway through. In her panic, she bit him, but Lin Mo didn't let go.
"Keep your voice down. Teacher Ni is still in his office downstairs. He just gave me a good scolding. Don't let him misunderstand again. Get him arrested and taken to the police station."
"Can you talk properly?"
Shen Yanxi nodded with a mournful expression on her face.
Lin Mo moved his hand away and even smelled it.
"That's good, no bad breath. Looks like you brushed your teeth properly with Qingran."
"Xixi never had one!"
"I told you to keep your voice down. How can you talk to your boss like that?"
"What kind of boss is he..."
"Let me put it this way..." Lin Mo took the zipper pull from her hand, then snatched the small backpack she was holding. Somehow, before Shen Yanxi could even see it, the zipper was snapped back on.
"Take it."
The girl's beautiful eyes widened instantly, staring at him blankly.
"Do your family just want you to get married quickly so they can make money off you?"
Shen Yanxi nodded blankly.
"Then the focus isn't on getting married, it's on making money."
"It doesn't matter who I marry, as long as they're rich."
Hearing this, the girl's mind became even more confused.
What do you mean? You want to marry her? What kind of nonsense is that?!
"Xixi... isn't going to get married..."
"Hey, you...you didn't give them money, did you?" The girl pushed her inner turmoil to the back of her mind. Lin Mo's words sounded like he was offering to solve her problem with money...
She held Lin Mo's arm, her voice trembling.
More than romantic love, she cared about the controversies surrounding him.
