Chapter 48 It's Your Turn
When Xu Jiqing grabbed his wrist and pressed it, Li Rui realized how much terrifying strength was hidden in this thin body of this man.
His fingers were forcibly pried apart and clamped around Xu Jiqing's neck like a specimen. His Adam's apple was throbbing under his palm, and Xu Jiqing slowly tightened his grip on his hand.
"Pinch harder," he said, his light brown eyes slightly closed as he looked over, his tone cold and steady, "You were trying to kill me just now, right? Pinch harder."
Li Rui watched helplessly as the blood gushed out from those long wounds, flowing along Xu Jiqing's pale skin and old scars, and down to his elbows.
He desperately tried to pull his hand back, but it was held tight. Finger marks gradually appeared on Xu Jiqing's neck, becoming darker and darker, like a purple-black noose.
"No...don't..." Li Rui was already terrified, tears and snot streaming down his face, "Please..."
The moment the dazzling flashlight light swept over, Xu Jiqing suddenly loosened his grip.
Li Rui watched him stagger backward, deliberately took two steps to the side, and then, under his horrified gaze, knelt in front of him without hesitation.
What kind of man has gold under his knees?
What dignity.
In his eyes, they were all like worthless specks of dust that would be blown away by the wind.
The flashlight light was getting closer and closer, shining directly on the two of them, like a spotlight on the stage, illuminating Xu Jiqing's fragile and painful handsome face.
Li Rui finally understood it.
This gloomy top student is actually a complete lunatic.
What’s even more terrifying is that now everyone will only believe the performance of a madman.
"Xu Jiqing, is that you? Who else is over there?!"
Teacher Ding's footsteps were getting closer and closer, followed by several male teachers leading the team, shouting anxiously and sternly.
Li Rui felt a chill all over his body. He seemed to have lost control of his bladder during the violent shivering. As the warm liquid flowed between his legs, he saw Xu Jiqing silently mouthing something to him:
【It's your turn.】
-
Xu Jiqing had no intention of kneeling down.
Before Xu Wenyao was laid off, he taught his son to be upright and never give in. Later, when he became addicted to alcohol and gambling, he taught his son that it was natural and right for him to kneel before his father, and that he would not be beaten if he knelt.
It turned out that kneeling was useless, he was still beaten, so he never kneeled again.
A person must use all his energy to live his life. He has no energy to think about anything other than survival, and he has to consider whether everything is useful or not.
It's useless to kneel down to anyone. No one will give Xu Jiaojiao an extra dollar to implant a cochlear implant, nor will it make his quagmire life any easier. The same goes for Li Rui.
He calculated the timing of the teacher's arrival and arranged all the evidence in his favor, so he didn't need to kneel again.
But Xu Jiqing didn't expect that Su Xia would follow him.
No one knew where she had heard the news from, or if she had simply gone to make a report. The girl came in a hurry, wearing a beautiful bow-tie shirt on top and school uniform pants casually thrown on the bottom. She was carrying a canvas bag that was given to her during the daytime selection of outstanding tea-frying students. Her long hair, which had just been washed, was draped over her shoulders, wet and still dripping.
Why are you here if you're not sleeping?
Xu Jiqing thought.
Su Xia seemed to have a strange sense of responsibility towards him.
She would always appear in his most embarrassing moments. She had an incredibly good temper and coaxed him like a child. Her voice was sweet and gentle, as soft as someone he had never even dreamed of.
It seemed that as long as he looked miserable enough, she would lower her bottom line step by step, indefinitely.
Xu Jiqing didn't know what he was expecting.
He was born with very good night vision. He glanced at the little girl and saw that she was jogging with her bag in her hand. Her big red eyes were looking at him without blinking. So he knelt down as soon as he was told to.
...What if he was even more pitiful?
Can you get more?
-
At eleven o'clock in the evening, Teacher Ding stood outside the emergency room, anxiously making a phone call.
Such a serious violent incident has occurred in the class. No matter the reason, the most important thing is to treat the patient and save the life first.
We are far away in the mountainous area outside the province, and it is the middle of the night. I will notify the parents when I get back tomorrow, but I have to report it to the school.
"...Don't worry, there's no danger to his life. Li Rui is fine. Let's not talk about Mr. Li for now... Yeah, these two kids haven't had much conflict before, just some verbal clashes at most. We didn't expect what happened tonight... The doctor just checked. Li Rui choked on water twice. It's a minor injury, nothing serious. Xu Jiqing's condition is a little more serious..."
"The situation is rather complicated and cannot be explained in a few words. The conditions at the county hospital here are limited. I will stay with them for one night for observation. When we return to Jiangcheng tomorrow, we will go to the People's Hospital to make an appointment for a thorough examination..."
"Yeah, I know. They're both math students, and they're registering for the provincial competition at the end of the month. It wouldn't be appropriate to rashly call the police, so we should prioritize a negotiated solution... I don't have Xu Jiqing's parents' contact information, so I'll ask Coach Zhang. If all else fails, I'll have him come along, and have Li Rui's mother come as well, so we can discuss what to do."
I have seen people fighting, but I have never seen anyone who studies so well yet still fights.
On one side is the son of the school director's family, and on the other side is the favorite for the provincial team in the mathematics competition class.
After the head teacher finished, it was the principal's office's turn. Teacher Ding had almost memorized the same set of words.
The phone just hung up when it rang again.
She thought it was another leader coming to question her, but when the call was connected, she could hear the sound of wind whistling in the receiver, and she knew that someone was on the way.
After a few seconds, the noise died down a little, and the girl's voice finally rang out, anxious and embarrassed, "Teacher Ding, I'm Su Xia."
"I'm almost at the county hospital. There are two hospital campuses in the navigation. Which one are you at?"
Teacher Ding's heart was pounding when he heard this, and he was speechless for a moment, "How did you get here?"
"I couldn't get a taxi, so I asked our guide, Uncle Li, to bring me here on his motorcycle. He said the emergency room at the new hospital is better, and we'll be at the entrance in two minutes."
They had just arrived by car, and the road out of the mountains was truly desolate and desolate. At this point, they probably couldn't even hear the barking of a dog.
I don’t know where Su Xia got the courage from to let a farmer whom she had only known for two days take her away.
Teacher Ding had never been as frightened as he was now. He was sweating profusely because of the girl's recklessness.
There was enough going on in one night.
If anything happens to Su Xia again, she will really not be able to continue working in this position.
"I'm in the new hospital, on the first floor of the emergency department."
Teacher Ding rubbed his temples, stood up and walked out. "I'll pick you up at the door and pay Uncle Li for the taxi fare."
"No, no, I have money and will be there soon."
With a squeak, the old motorcycle stalled.
Su Xia stepped down, folded the three hundred yuan she had been holding along the way, and stuffed it into his hand.
According to the local motorcycle taxi prices, even if no one takes the job at night, it is considered very good to be able to earn 50 yuan.
Uncle Li stood there astride the gas tank, feeling rather embarrassed. "Girl, is that boy you were fighting with your boyfriend?"
The other person had worked hard to bring her here, so no matter how anxious Su Xia was, she couldn't pretend not to hear it.
She lowered her head and took off her helmet. "He saved my life."
Su Xia was almost crying.
She is so useless.
Even though it was the second time I spent this day, it was still too late.
