Chapter 47 You Are Crazy

Under the moonlight, Li Rui used the little light from the screen to carefully climb onto the pile of firewood.

He didn't want this to happen.

Who made Xu Jiqing's personality as dull as a pool of stagnant water? No matter how he provoked him, he was unwilling to fight in school.

It doesn't make sense to say that he fought and hurt his classmates, but what if he took secret photos?

The person you are photographing cannot be a nobody.

Xu Jiqing is now the clear number one in Class S. The entire math competition group sees him as the hope of avenging the defeat at the affiliated high school. If he were an ordinary girl whose family has no power or influence, even if there is evidence that Xu Jiqing is guilty of taking secret photos, Zhang Jianyuan will protect him.

But it’s different for a young lady like Su Xia. She donated a building before she even enrolled in school and paid countless sponsorship fees to the school.

Not to mention her mother who is not easy to deal with, if something really happens, the school leaders will be the first to not forgive him.

A serious warning is considered good. If Su Xia makes a bigger fuss, Xu Jiqing will have to go back to his hometown with his school record in a few days.

The boys had four bedrooms in the back room, and Xu Jiqing happened to be sleeping on the same big bunk bed as him, even his bed was next to his.

Li Rui had observed that Xu Jiqing's old mobile phone ran out of battery quickly, so he would put it in the socket by the window to charge at night. As long as he waited for Xu Jiqing to fall asleep, he would quietly transfer the photos via Bluetooth, and then casually tip off the girl during breakfast. Without anyone noticing, he would have everything.

Who would testify for someone who is used to being alone?

By then, no matter how innocent Xu Jiqing is, he will have no choice but to admit it because the evidence is there.

The more Li Rui thought about it, the more pleased he became. He tried his best to straighten the corners of his mouth to prevent himself from laughing out loud.

He climbed to the top of the woodpile, looked around, and groped for a higher spot with a slightly better balance to sit down.

The shower head was running in the small window, and hot steam, mixed with white mist, was rising out.

There was a faint sound of girls' laughter.

"Miaomiao, don't you usually take a shower without opening your eyes?"

"Wuwu, no, it's you who are too... I'm so shy."

Too much.

Li Rui didn't hear the middle word.

But after the experience of frying tea during the day, you can imagine what the scenery outside the window is like.

The moisture made the lens blurry and nothing could be seen clearly. The pile of firewood under his butt was shaking. Li Rui was sweating and his nose was hot. He was excited and anxious. He thought it would be nice to leave a record in the clouds after taking the photo, so he hurriedly grabbed the corner of his clothes to wipe it.

Before he could touch the camera, his ankles were tightly gripped by a pair of cold big hands, and he was pulled down with great force. Li Rui lost his balance instantly and fell uncontrollably from the pile of firewood.

There was thick weeds underneath, so it didn't hurt much.

But he was seen.

The photos were taken by him and the phone is his.

Once it's spoken out...

He's finished.

Li Rui's heart was beating so fast that he felt like vomiting. He tried to get up with chattering teeth, but just as he caught a glimpse of a deformed hand, he was kicked hard in the knee.

The moment he knelt, Li Rui's nose slammed heavily on the stone in front of him. He groaned in pain, and a fishy, ​​sweet smell of rust flowed down his sore and swollen nose, filling his mouth with a sticky mess. The tip of his tongue touched something wobbly; his front teeth might have loosened.

The man behind him pressed his knee against his spine, pinning him to the wet mud.

He hissed in pain and turned his head with great effort. The moment he saw the other person's face clearly, even the gasp he was about to breathe was stuck in his throat.

The moonlight shone from behind Xu Jiqing, and his always silent face was now gloomy and pale.

What made Li Rui feel the coldest was his eyes——

The pupils, which are usually narrow, dilate to their maximum in the dark, becoming eerily calm, as if something sticky is churning inside.

Xu Jiqing picked up the phone that fell beside him with his left hand, and slowly stroked the back of Li Rui's neck with his right hand.

The sound of water in the bathroom acts like a natural noise reducer, blocking out everything outside the window.

Xu Jiqing held Li Rui's neck with one hand and dragged him along the ridge of the field for more than ten meters.

Until there was no light left around him, he threw his limp body to the edge of the reservoir.

It was so dark that one couldn't see one's hand in front of one's face. Li Rui's throat was covered in blood and his knees were in so much pain that he couldn't lift them. He opened his mouth and gasped for breath, watching Xu Jiqing's shadow getting lower and lower in the darkness.

"I saw it during the day," Xu Jiqing squatted slowly in front of him, his voice as soft as the night wind, "It rained, and the reservoir was three meters deep."

"Tell me, if I drown here, will I be discovered before returning to school?"

Li Rui looked up in horror.

He struggled to shout, but the cement edge of the reservoir hit his lips and the smell of rotting algae filled his nostrils.

The next second, his entire face was pressed into the dark, deep water.

The water was icy cold and poured in suddenly.

His nasal cavity felt like it was on fire, his eardrums bulged as if they were about to explode, and the oxygen in his lungs was squeezed out bit by bit. Li Rui frantically clawed back with both hands, trying to hold onto the side of the reservoir. He felt no pain even when his nails split.

When he was taken out, he looked like a dehydrated fish, coughing up water mixed with blood.

Xu Jiqing squatted there without moving, "Where are the photo backups?"

"Cloud, cloud."

The rainwater was too muddy and had a unique smell of pesticides from the fields, which made it difficult for him to open his eyes.

"Photos... I haven't taken any photos yet..." Li Rui's mind went blank. "I swear, it's really gone."

"password."

Another suffocating experience. Li Rui slid to the ground like a pile of mud. Xu Jiqing logged out of his cloud account in front of him, formatted his device, and threw his phone into the reservoir. The dim light around him dimmed for a moment, then brightened slightly. The girls should have finished their showers and returned to the courtyard from the small bathroom.

The light from the distant courtyard shone on Li Rui's face, creating a hazy image, as if someone was walking out with a flashlight. The corners of Li Rui's mouth trembled, and he felt his chance had come, and he took a few deep breaths.

"My dad is a school director," he said hoarsely, looking up at Xu Jiqing while lying in the mud, "I'll expel you from school tomorrow."

"...Without the phone, everyone would think it was just you who hit me."

Xu Jiqing looked at him quietly and suddenly smiled.

Just a little bit of arc.

But Li Rui felt his lower back tighten and his bladder suddenly swelled.

"you're right."

Xu Jiqing rolled a beer bottle out from the shadows of the bushes, "What if you hit me?"

The glass bottle hit the cement edge of the reservoir, making a sharp and crisp sound.

Xu Jiqing squatted in front of him, expressionless, holding the sharp serrated bottle mouth and scratching his right forearm.

Blood splashed onto Li Rui's pale face, warm and sticky, with a smell of rust.

"You, you're crazy..."

Li Rui's pupils suddenly contracted, and he used his hands and feet to shrink back, his body covered in mud.
