Chapter 41: Contrasting Family 1
Chapter 1
Shen Xue is Shen Qi's control group.
Their lives will always be two completely different paths.
Shen Qi has good academic performance, while Shen Xue is at the bottom of the class.
Chen Qi is the group's favorite, while Shen Xue is not loved by her father or mother, and is even kicked by her brother.
Shen Qi is secretly in love with a top student, while Shen Xue is secretly in love with the top student. When they confess their love in public, they are rejected and become a laughing stock.
Later, when he grew up and entered society, Shen Qi's parents were loving and successful in their business, becoming upper-class people. Shen Qi entered a higher education institution to receive elite education.
Shen Xue was lying in the rental house, feeling the man's movements on her body, then she sneered, looked away from the noble princess on TV, and waited for death with a sneer.
When Shen Xue died, she no longer had any attachment to this world. She didn't know why she appeared in this white space.
Her eyes were dull, like a dead fish.
My father gambled and eventually committed suicide by jumping into the river.
My mother had an affair and her body was abandoned in the wilderness by her lover.
My brother fell in love online and was tricked into moving to northern Myanmar, with no way back.
Her death was a relief.
Qi Qi looked at the lifeless girl with sympathy. She was only twenty-three years old and should have had the best years of her life.
"Please tell me your wish!" Qi Qi said softly, as if he couldn't bear to interrupt Shen Xue's thoughts.
Shen Xue snorted, "It doesn't matter. If I had to do it again, it would be just like that. I'm dead, so what? I don't have any wishes."
"But your life shouldn't have been like this." Qi Qi sighed, "Have you ever thought about where in your life did it go wrong?"
"Mistake?" Shen Xue muttered these two words, humming helplessly, "What mistake? For a rotten person like me, dying would save the country money. There's no point in living."
"But your life was stolen." Qi Qi said.
The calm words were like thunder, instantly widening Shen Xue's slightly dead eyes. She twitched the corners of her mouth, "You mean, my life was stolen?"
"According to what I understand, this is the case." Qi Qi continued, "So, what is your wish?"
"But I...what should my life be like?" Shen Xue raised her hands to her chest, pointed at herself, and then raised her hands again, as if pointing at fate.
Qi Qi replied, "Although your parents favor boys over girls, they also love you very much. They're not in love, but they respect each other. Your brother, though a bit rebellious, is a sister complex and will secretly give you half of the money your parents give him. You will successfully go to high school and college, and after graduation, find a job far away from your parents. Over time, your parents will realize that their behavior was wrong and try their best to make amends. After buying a house for your brother, they will give you all their money and come to take care of you when you are pregnant and have children..."
Qi Qi spoke very slowly, and his words without much emotion described Han Xue's life.
"That's great!" Han Xue narrowed her eyes, as if she also saw such a simple and beautiful future.
"I want those who did something wrong to pay the price. I want my life...even if it's not perfect, at least it won't be painful anymore."
Han Xue's eyes lit up for a moment, then quickly faded away. "Can you do it?"
Qi Qi nodded, "Deal done."

In the noisy classroom, students come and go. High school life is full of heavy schoolwork, but for sophomores, although there is pressure, they are more afraid of their senior year.
Today is the last day of their second year of high school. After today, they will begin their last summer vacation in high school.
They pulled each other and made noise, with innocent smiles on their young faces.
Qi Qi's desk was at the edge of the classroom. She held her chin with her hand and looked out the window.
"Shen Xue!" Shen Qi trotted over, the breeze blowing her sweat-soaked hair, and tiny rays of light flickered on her face, as if she had been coated with a layer of golden light.
Her infectious smile spread from the end of the corridor to Qi Qi's face. Her towering ponytail bounced up and down with youthful energy. "Are you going to confess to Han Yifang today? Come on!"
She clenched her hands and made an elbow strike in front of her chest, as if this was the joy a cousin should have.
If it wasn't Shen Qi who instigated Qi Qi to confess.
If it wasn't Qi Qi who was the reason why Shen Qi rejected Han Yifang.
All of this will be better.
Qi Qi turned his head and asked doubtfully, "Confess, to whom?"
"Aren't you going to confess to Han Yifang?" Shen Qi's joyful expression froze for a moment, her eyes twitched, and the smile on her lips almost couldn't be maintained.
"Ah? I don't know!" Qi Qi shook his head. "Where did you hear that rumor? Come on, I can't even finish my summer exams, and I'm still confessing. If I had that time, I might as well do a couple of math problems!"
She lowered her head in distress, "By the way, didn't you say you had nothing to do during the summer vacation? Why don't you tutor me and let my dad give you money!"
“Hehe…” Chen Qi’s mouth twitched uncontrollably, “You… your father is rich?”
Qi Qi groaned, "Who are you looking down on? How come my dad has no money?"
"Chen Qi, if you don't want to help, just say so. Why are you saying my dad has no money? Although our family isn't as rich as yours, after all, my dad and your dad are brothers, right? My dad always says that brothers are connected even if their bones are broken!"
Chen Qi didn't want to continue this topic, "You...Han Yifang is waiting for you in the playground, are you sure you don't want to confess?"
Qi Qi frowned, "Hiss, are you okay today? What confession? What's going on? Are you in love with Han Yifang and trying to test me? Don't worry, your sister only cares about studying, not any personal feelings!"
"Hmph!" The Dean of Studies walked past Qi Qi and patted the table. "Tsk, what are you talking about, Chen Qi? You're not in this class, are you? Why are you chatting here? Class will start soon. We can't slack off just because it's the last day of summer vacation."
Chen Qi looked at Qi Qi expectantly, but Qi Qi was calm, with only a hint of doubt, as if he really didn't remember what he was going to confess.
Strange, doesn't Qi Qi like Han Yifang? She had finally persuaded Qi Qi to confess his love, so why did she suddenly not go?
Shen Qi walked away, looking back every few steps.
The dean looked at Shen Qi's back meaningfully.
I used to think that Shen Qi was a student with good academic performance, motivated, and usually gentle. But now it seems that she is not that simple.
The dean asked, "Shen Xue, what is your relationship with Shen Qi?"
Qi Qi replied: "Cousin, Shen Qi's father is my uncle!"
The dean hummed and pointed his finger at the desk, "From now on, you should have less contact with Chen Qi. Although you are a relative, you should also be more careful. Not all relatives are good people."
Logically speaking, the dean should not say these words, but Shen Xue and Shen Qi are both students and not yet adults, yet Shen Qi has so many little thoughts and deliberately instigated Shen Xue to confess to other classmates.
Whether the school will punish her or not is still a matter of debate. If Shen Xue loses interest in school because of a failed or successful confession, it will be a lifelong problem.
Qi Qi nodded, "I understand, teacher. I will pay attention next time."
Of course they would pay attention, because Shen Qi was the murderer who framed their family.
Because it is almost time for the holiday, there are no classes in the afternoon. At noon, the students have returned to the dormitory to pack their things and prepare to leave school.
Chen Qi's parents and brother had already driven over and were waiting at the jammed gate to pick Chen Qi up.
As for Qi Qi's parents...it's better not to mention them.
Qi Qi's brother...not to mention.
Qi Qi packed his things into a wooden box filled with books and tied a quilt directly to the box, securing it with a rope.
The mattress for making the bed was folded and placed on the bed.
That's all her stuff.
Bicycles were pushed on the crowded campus road. When they arrived at the gate, there were not only bicycles and electric vehicles, but also cars and tricycles.
After finally getting around the crowded crowds and vehicles, Qi Qi's bedding had been squeezed all over the place.
She stepped on the pedals twice tentatively and finally got on the road.
After a while, Shen Qi's car arrived next to her.
The black sedan slowed down its pace and drove parallel to Qi Qi.
The car window was rolled down, and Shen Qi lay next to it, "Shen Xue, do you want me to take you home?"
Qi Qi carefully controlled the direction of the car, because the things on the back seat were tied a little loosely, so they inevitably tilted to one side or the other.
"Hey hey hey——" Qi Qi shouted, and the bicycle turned towards the car, scaring Shen Chendong, who was driving, so much that he stepped on the accelerator and fled quickly.
Qi Qi sighed, "Uncle, please drive slower and take me with you!"
But the car only left behind a trail of exhaust fumes and was never seen again.
This family is really funny. They are good at pretending, but they can run very fast.
If they still insisted on jumping around in front of her, Qi Qi wouldn't mind causing some problems to their cars.
When I got home, it was already past three in the afternoon.
Mother Qin Yao was lying on the bed playing with her cell phone, brother Chen Lei was playing games in another room, and father Shen Hongxi was sitting on the sofa in the living room with one leg dangling on the coffee table, puffing away.
They lived in a small rural courtyard with four bedrooms, a utility room, a living room of several dozen square meters, and a courtyard surrounded by a wall. There was a kitchen on the west side of the courtyard and a toilet in the southeast corner.
Qi Qi pushed the car into the yard and threw it to the ground with a bang.
"Come out!" she shouted loudly. The three people in the room did what they were supposed to do and didn't make any noise.
Qi Qi snorted and laughed, walked straight to the kitchen, pushed the kitchen door open, took out a hammer from behind the kitchen door, and without saying a word, smashed the gas stove in the kitchen first, then pulled off the rubber tube on the gas tank, held the gas tank in one hand, kicked the door open, and walked straight to the middle of the living room.
The gas tank smashed the floor tiles with a thud. She leaned her legs on the gas tank, holding a lighter in her left hand and a hammer in her right hand.
