Chapter 48: Chapter 48
Duan Yao came out of school, didn't even go home, and went directly to a remote teaching workshop nearby.
This is a place recommended by the owner of the dessert shop.Although the name sounds very similar to an educational institution, it is actually a place that teaches various food preparations and provides customers with DIY.
For the past few days, Duan Yao has been soaking in the workshop, learning from Qi Shi's favorite desserts.Therefore, in fact, Qi Shi has received his birthday present since early in the morning.It's just that Duan Yao planned to pile it up at the end to give him a big surprise, so it didn't break through.
He never thought that there would be a day when he would learn to make sweets for himself.You know, until now, under Qi Shi's connivance, he is still a young master who can only heat things up and cook a meal with a rice cooker.
The vanguard had already entered Qi Shi's stomach, leaving only the most important birthday cake.The cake has also been prepared in the past few hours, but there is an accident in the prepared box, and it needs to be picked up again.
Duan Yao saw that it was still early, and didn't care, just playing with his mobile phone.
The little girls in the workshop saw that he was handsome, and wanted to talk to him a long time ago, but every time he was very serious about learning desserts, it was not easy to bother him.It's rare to have free time right now, and immediately surrounded them one by one.
"Little handsome boy, are you a student nearby?"
"There are very few boys with a sweet tooth like you!"
"Come to us to make a cake for your girlfriend's birthday?"
Duan Yao chatted with them casually, casually flipping through the brochures in the rest area.Inside are some customers who have studied here in the past and agreed to take pictures.Most of them were women, no matter what age group they were in. What surprised him was that there were also quite a few men, but most of them were in their thirties, and they looked like good-looking men at home.
"Are you surprised? In fact, there are far more male customers than these. There are many students like you." A little girl caught his gaze accurately, pulled out a photo album from a shelf beside her, and handed it over to him. , "Well, this is the handsome guy."
Duan Yao looked up.In the photo, a boy around sixteen or seventeen is smiling at the camera with a row of snacks beside him. He is wearing an ordinary white T-shirt and denim, and there is only a jade pendant hanging around his neck.
Somewhat familiar.
Duan Yao frowned, trying his best to remember.He didn't speak, but other young girls came over to take a look, and immediately exclaimed:
"Yeah, how did you turn this one out?"
"Isn't this the boy who jumped off the building? It is said that he fell in love with a boy, but was..."
Duan Yao suddenly lowered his head, he did not expect to see this person in this situation.
Zhuang Huaibi.
Taking a closer look at the photo, the boy smiled recklessly, squinting his crescent eyes, showing his tiny canine teeth—wait a minute!
Crescent eye!
Duan Yao's heart trembled, and he suddenly remembered where he had seen that jade pendant before.On Zhou Cixu's neck...
【if not?Zhuang Huaibi's ghost possessed another person after more than a year and then came to seek revenge from Qi Shi? 】
Liang Jingyan's joke at that time suddenly appeared in his mind. He didn't know if he was possessed, but judging from Zhou Cixu's various actions, revenge... Maybe there is nothing wrong with it.
"Don't talk nonsense! What do you know?" An older manager came over and scolded, "I know this person..."
Duan Yao took out his mobile phone and dialed Qi Shi's number, one after another, but no one answered.Immediately panicked, why didn't you answer the phone?Did you mute the sound while doing homework or did you not hear it when you were not in the room?Or lost your phone?
He tried to find a reason for Qi Shi, but in the end——
Qi Shi said: "At that time, he said he wanted to give me a gift..."
Zhang Zijia said, "That was in March and April..."
March and April, gifts.When do you need to give gifts?Nothing more than a birthday!
After thinking everything through, Duan Yao immediately got up and walked out with a heavy heart. He knew that Qi Shi had returned home.However, as soon as he left the house, a phone call came in -
"Is Qi Shi by your side?!" Liang Jingyan panted heavily, as if running, "I heard that someone jumped off the complex building!"
……
Qi Shi pushed open the door leading to the rooftop, and there was a person standing on the edge.
"You came."
Hearing the sound, the man turned his head, revealing a face that was mostly soaked in blood——
The corners of the eyes are raised, and there is a strange arc on the lips.
It coincided with the face that shattered in front of his eyes in memory.Blood color flooded his heart, his consciousness gradually blurred, and even his physiological reactions were suppressed.He subconsciously took a step back without opening his mouth.
...Is it Zhou Cixu or Zhuang Huaibi?
Or...the two are the same person?
Qi Shi couldn't tell the difference.
"What are you hiding? Don't you want to see me? I've been waiting for you for a long time, brother."
The last two words completely shattered Qi Shi's remaining sobriety.In this era where seniors and sisters are shouting everywhere, there is only one person who insists on this title. He said that this is unique.
"Do you know? I was waiting for you here. But I waited for a long time, and I got a lot of people, but I just didn't have you."
"I like you so much, how can you just watch me die!"
"I didn't! I was late!" Qi Shi said tremblingly, staring stubbornly at the person in front of him, defending himself word by word, "Why are you holding on to me so tightly?! I've already betrayed my relatives and left my family and ruined my family! It's not enough Why! Why won't you let me go!"
He stepped back, with hysterical madness and despair in his voice.
"Because you're alive! He didn't even want his life for you! His body was smashed to pieces! In the end, he couldn't even get you an apology!" Zhou Cixu pointed at the downstairs angrily, with a ferocious expression on his face.
"I have no chance to apologize! I can't find it..." Qi Shi could no longer hear the change in Zhou Cixu's name. He looked at his hands and shook his head blankly. Zhuang Huaibi in his dream only wanted to drag him to hell. And he just wanted to escape.
"It's simple." Zhou Cixu chuckled.
Qi Shi raised his eyes.
"You jump from here. You can see him."
When Duan Yao rushed to the top floor, he heard these few words.Zhou Cixu's face was covered in blood, and he pointed to the outside of the rooftop, bewitching people's hearts.As for Qi Shi, his face was pale, his heels were slightly raised, and he seemed to be moving.
Immediately startled.
The raised foot fell back to the original place, Qi Shi struggled to open his mouth, and said no very lightly.
At the same time, a hand covered his eyes, and someone stood behind him, supporting his almost staggering body.
"Don't look." An all-too-familiar voice rang in his ears.
"Duan... Yao" he whispered hoarsely.
"I'm here." Duan Yao hugged him tightly and comforted him softly, "It's okay, it's not your fault, don't be afraid."
Qi Shi was startled, the fear and grievance that had been suppressed in his heart came to his mind, the strength of the original strong support dissipated in an instant, and the whole person fell backwards.Duan Yao caught him firmly, then looked up at Zhou Cixu who was not far away.
"If my guess is correct, you are Zhuang Huaibi's elder brother."
Before he came out of the workshop, the older steward was dispelling rumors.According to her, Zhuang's father had a tendency to domestic violence, and Zhuang's mother divorced her husband many years ago because of this matter, and took away her eldest son and went abroad.The younger son, Zhuang Huaibi, was left at home.But fortunately, the divorce made Zhuang's father sober. For more than ten years, he has treated his youngest son well.
However, nature is hard to change.
More than a year ago, Zhuangfu's company had a loophole, suffered serious losses, and had to file for bankruptcy.As a result, alcoholism and violence ensued.The daughter-in-law he married later was not of a disadvantaged nature, so she immediately turned her head and took her child back to her natal home, leaving Zhuang Huaibi to face it alone.
"It is said that he once called his brother and mother abroad for help, but he didn't get any response. Since you didn't care about him at the time, why bother to pretend to be fair now?!"
"You kept saying it was my relative's fault, what a joke! What did he do wrong?! Who stipulates that if you are liked, you have to respond? Who stipulates that you have to compromise when you are threatened? Then I said that if you don't give yourself a knife now, I will jump from here. Go down! Hurry up and get on the knife!"
"What do you mean that if he didn't come late, Zhuang Huaibi would be fine? Why didn't you say that if you came back earlier, Zhuang Huaibi wouldn't have committed suicide? His biological mother and elder brother didn't care about him, but Qi Shi, a stranger, was responsible for him?! Are you out of your mind?"
The series of words made Zhou Cixu unable to even find a chance to interject. Seeing him stop now, he managed to interrupt and retort: "That's not the case! What do you know!"
"My brother didn't say it straight! I had an important exam at the time, so I didn't pay attention to his emotions!"
Duan Yao sneered: "Come on. It is said that Zhuang Huaibi was so emaciated at that time that anyone with eyes could see it, as if you were too busy to have eyes. It's just that you didn't care! What nonsense!"
Teachers and students came from behind one after another, and Zhang Daiqing also arrived at the scene after receiving the news.Standing between the two parties, seeing Zhou Cixu who was on the verge of collapse, stopped Duan Yao from continuing to speak provocatively.Let him go first with Qi Shi.
Duan Yao pursed the corners of his lips, feeling unwilling.However, thinking about Qi Shi's situation, after all, worry is the most important thing.
"Zhou Cixu, do you remember what I said? When you fucking dare to move, I can kill you!"
"Duan Yao!" Zhang Daiqing scolded.
Duan Yao ignored it and took Qi Shi downstairs.
The author has something to say:
He failed to be ruthless, so classmate Zhou Cixu was written as a bit strong on the outside but capable on the inside.
It wasn't intentional abuse, but Qi Shi's psychological problems need an opportunity to be raised before Duan Yaoyao can be cured.
That's all for now, just in time for the occasion, eat more candy during the Chinese New Year.
