"Your husband and wife will worry about you then. You don't want them to come all this way, do you? That would be too tiring!"
"You have such good conditions because your father works hard to earn money. If it weren't for you, would your father have to work so hard to earn money?"
"Don't cause trouble at school. Your dad is already tired enough from working outside. Do you want to make him worry too?"
Ye Qi opened her mouth, almost saying something, but ultimately kept it to herself.
Ye Qi finally lowered her head: "I understand, Auntie."
Hearing Ye Qi's sensible words, the aunt's face lit up with a smile: "Oh, I knew Miss would be obedient. Miss is so good, unlike those naughty children! If you're like this, Master and Madam will like you even more, and they can take you home sooner!"
"Miss, you're such a good girl. As long as you're obedient, who wouldn't like you?"
"Um……"
Ye Qi ultimately chose not to tell her aunt.
She even gave her phone watch to her aunt.
She can only call her mother after finishing her homework at night, and her aunt will supervise her.
But she rarely calls her mother for fear of worrying her.
But Ye Qi's obedience will not bring her peace.
Every time she curled up in the corner of the bathroom and cried secretly, she couldn't help but think that she wished someone could push open the always-closed door and save her.
Later, Ye Qi no longer expected anyone to come and save her.
Instead, she yearned for the gods described in fairy tales to save her.
She prayed time and again for the gods to descend from heaven and save her, but each time she failed.
Just when she finally couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to confide these terrible things to the adults and be rescued—
She saw a girl from the next class, who was also being bullied by Lin Baozhu, bravely stand up and say that she had been bullied by Lin Baozhu all along.
A glimmer of hope ignited in her eyes.
Just as she was about to confess.
She witnessed the girl's parents arrive at the school, ready to question Lin Baozhu. Lin Baozhu and the other boys and girls in the class cried and said that they had not done it, and that the girl had already been abused by thugs outside the school.
It was clearly very poor acting.
But the girl's parents believed it.
They screamed in despair, "Did we send you here to study just so you could be so shameless and seduce men?!"
Even the teachers were looking at the girl with disdain and disgust.
Ye Qi watched as the girl desperately tried to clarify that she hadn't done it, but none of the adults believed her.
"Smack—"
The girl's father finally couldn't stand the strange looks from those around him and slapped his daughter across the face.
Her parents used the most offensive language in the world to criticize their daughter, as if they could wash away the stain of having an "unclean" daughter and try to absolve themselves of any responsibility.
Not only her parents, but also the teachers were whispering about how dirty she was, how she thought about men at such a young age, and those who had bullied her were making fun of her.
The girl finally couldn't take the successive blows anymore.
She ran to the top floor in despair.
Ye Qi didn't know what she was going to do. She was powerless to stop the adults' accusations, but she felt that she couldn't do nothing and wanted to go over and comfort her.
after all……
For a good portion of the time she wasn't being beaten, that girl helped her take the hits.
Just as she followed the girl to the rooftop, she saw the girl standing on the edge of the roof, and a sense of foreboding immediately arose in her heart.
But she didn't know how to articulate this ominous feeling.
The adults who followed behind suddenly changed their expressions when they saw the girl standing on the edge of the rooftop.
Only her parents thought:
She was so timid and afraid of trouble, how could she dare to actually die?
She loves playing around with men so much, how could she bear to die? She won't have the chance to play around anymore!
At the same time, I also feel:
At such a young age, she dares to use this to force her parents to challenge adult authority; she's really grown up!
If we don't teach her a lesson, how will we control her in the future? Won't we, as her parents, have to give in every time she tries to kill herself?
That won't do!
Then they said the final straw that broke the camel's back: "Go ahead and jump if you dare! Who do you think you are! Jump if you want! If we had known you were so useless and would be ruined by men, we shouldn't have given birth to a worthless wretch like you!"
The girl stood on the edge of the rooftop, her thin and frail figure swaying precariously in the wind. When she heard her parents' sarcastic remarks, she paused, then turned and jumped without hesitation.
Ye Qi's mind was a jumbled mess, but her body reacted before her head could process it. She ran over and reached out to grab the girl.
But she only grasped one finger.
Finally, unable to hold on, the girl's fingers slipped from her hand.
Ye Qi clearly saw the girl's face break down, and then her expression change when she saw Ye Qi grab her.
It was a look of disbelief, yet it revealed how wonderful it was.
Her voice vanished in the wind, leaving only faint traces that Ye Qi could hear:
"Thank you."
But soon, she saw a look of fear and panic flash across the girl's face.
Unfortunately, that expression only flashed by for a moment.
"Bang--"
A large red flower blooms beneath the girl's school uniform.
Ye Qi broke down on the spot.
Everyone was stunned; they never imagined that someone would be so foolish as to joke about their own life.
Having witnessed life slip away from her fingertips, Ye Qi collapsed and knelt on the ground, wailing in despair.
She was eventually taken back by her aunt.
