nShe brought so many people here, what if …
nHow could she treat him like this?
nHe devoted a true heart to her, and she used it.
nJin Yuqi told him to coax Ming Shu, lure her into drinking some water, which she said would make her annoying and embarrassed. She didn’t tell him what was dissolved in the water. He believed her, so he just did what he was told without any doubts.
nBut he didn’t know anything until now.
nBesides, he didn’t drink the water but had such a reaction as well. How? he wondered. It must have been before he left when he ate the food given by her that he fell into her trap.
nShe intended to humiliate him together with Lu Meng. Watched by so many people, naked and having sex with someone in the old teaching building, how could he stay in this school afterward? How would he face people’s talking?
nJin Yuqi was stunned only for a moment. Then she turned around, pretending she didn’t know anything.
nSeeing this, Shangguan Feng became even angrier. He stood up from the floor with the last of his strength, staggering toward the door.
n“Shangguan Feng, are you okay?” The male students apparently knew Shangguan Feng, and without thinking much, they asked him this concernedly, preparing to come and cover him up.
nTaking the chance while he was unnoticed, Shangguan Feng swiftly grabbed Jin Yuqi and dragged her into the classroom, his eyes shooting an angry glare. The door was closed and locked without difficulty.
nThe students outside were shocked for a moment before falling upon the door, hitting it. “Shangguan Feng, what do you want to do? Open the door!”
n“Shangguan Feng, open the door.”
n“Yuqi.”
n“Shangguan Feng, what are you doing, let me go. Ah!” Jin Yuqi screamed. “Help.”
n“Break the door.”
nScreams and pounding noises mixed with each other, creating endless chaos.
nThe classroom door didn’t stand for long because of its age. It was broken open by students’ co-efforts. Then on the floor of the room, they saw Shangguan Feng on top of Jin Yuqi, twisting his body violently. He seemed to be in a crazy state. They immediately worked together to pull him away.
nIn a panic, Jin Yuqi confusedly tugged her skirt to cover her thighs. With a trembling body and a stunned expression, she curled her arms around her knees and crouched in a corner. Her eyes tightly stared at Shangguan Feng, who was struggling and roaring like an animal.
nThe dust on the ground was dotted with drops of blood. Several girls looked at each other with different thoughts in mind, then went over to care for Jin Yuqi.
nThe boys were almost at the limit of their ability to control Shangguan Feng. At last, they had no other choice but to call the faculty.
nSeveral teachers hurried over only to encounter such a scene. With dizzy minds and shocked faces, they quickly ordered a few students to send the mad Shangguan Feng to the infirmary.
nThen a party of people hurried downstairs. Just as they walked out of the old teaching building, a dark shadow fell down from above. Putong! Something smashed on the ground heavily, splashing drops of warm blood all over them.
n“Ah—”
n…
nHaving been shocked twice, Jin Yuqi’s whole person appeared dull. Shangguan Feng was still in a coma.
nThe school intended to hide what happened in the old teaching building, but the incident where someone jumped off the building that happened later surely had exposed everything between Jin Yuqi and Shangguan Feng.
nStudents who were present there then couldn’t give a clear and exact explanation of the whole thing either. It began with a silk scarf, which was quite expensive and was carried off by a dog. The owner of the scarf begged them to help her look for it.
nThen they marched near the old teaching building and found Shangguan Feng naked in the classroom. Shangguan Feng was so crazy that he dragged Jin Yuqi into the classroom…
nWhat happened next was already known.
nThey ran into a suicide case, a leap from the old building.
nAccording to the investigation, the girl who jumped to her death was from the junior department. The police also found that the girl had many scars on her body. Some were new, some looked like they had been there for a long time.
nThe truth was revealed shortly this time.
nNo school could escape from violence; this school was no exception. Because of unbearable bullying, the girl jumped from the building. The matter quieted down after those students involved had been taken away. In the end, the only story that passed around concerned Jin Yuqi and Shangguan Feng, who were doing this or that in the old teaching building.
nFortunately, Shangguan Feng and Jin Yuqi had been suspended, or they would be angered to death after hearing this gossip.
nYe Miaomiao always had a feeling that something was wrong. After thinking for a long time, she finally surrendered to her own gossiping fire. “Mengmeng, why would Shangguan Feng and Jin Yuqi do that kind of thing in the old teaching building?”
nMing Shu stilled her hand, holding a chocolate bean motionlessly. She shook her head, chuckling. “How would I know.”
n“Mengmeng.” Ye Miaomiao stuck her face inches from Ming Shu’s, smiling evilly. “You were absent the day when this happened. Earlier Shangguan Feng asked you out, and later this happened, you tell me you don’t know?”
nShe didn’t know why, but she had a premonition that Ming Shu must know something.
n“Knowing too much, you will be…” Ming Shu made a motion of cutting the throat.
nYe Miaomiao protected her neck quickly with both hands. She curled her lips with shifting eyes and asked, “Mengmeng, have you heard about the girl who jumped from the old teaching building?”
nIf you don’t want to talk about Shangguan Feng, then I’ll change to another topic. There’s no problem with this, right?
n“No.”
n“Well, I heard some back-alley news.” Ye Miaomiao sat next to Ming Shu, naturally reaching for the chocolate beans. Ming Shu stared at Ye Miaomiao’s hand, restraining the strong urge to stop her.
nYe Miaomiao said while eating, “You know, the junior department was built afterward. It was completely different from our senior department, which belongs to the municipal key school. They say most students accepted in the junior department have good grades, but poor family backgrounds. The suicidal girl was from a rural area. Rumors said she and a teacher were having an affair. She killed herself because she couldn’t bear the pressure of being talked about over a supposedly improper relationship with the teacher, not because of violence! It’s not suicide!”
n“Oh,” Ming Shu responded uninterestedly.
n“Hey, Mengmeng, aren’t you surprised?” Ye Miaomiao poked Ming Shu. “The rumor has been spread to our senior department, many people are talking about it.”
nYe Miaomiao didn’t understand why Mengmeng had been behaving a little strangely these days. Sometimes she was very interested in one thing, and even though her excitement had an odd quality, she was eager to engage; but sometimes she just showed zero interest in other things…
nWell, it seems she will always be uninterested when she’s eating.
nYe Miaomiao nabbed the chocolate beans from Ming Shu’s hands. “Mengmeng, are you listening to me?”
nHer hands empty, Ming Shu first stared at her lonely hands for a moment, then moved her eyes to Ye Miaomiao.
nAlthough she was wearing a smile on her face, it seemed something horrible was hiding deep inside her eyes. Ye Miaomiao felt a bit terrified under such a stare, which made her subconsciously want to return the chocolate beans to their owner.
nMing Shu then dropped her eyes, calmly pulling out a packet of dried mango from the desk.
nYe Miaomiao held the chocolate beans, her hand moist with cold sweat as for a moment she thought Mengmeng was going to beat her.
nMing Shu tore the packaging of the dried mango, her soft smiling voice ringing out: “The bloody paint in the hallway and the suicidal jump from the old teaching building, these two things must be linked. But Liushui, I advise you not to get involved. It may kill you.”
nYe Miaomiao tightened her grip on the chocolate beans bag slightly, gulping. She asked, “Mengmeng, do you know something?”
nMing Shu smiled, but didn’t answer.
