Shen Wan screamed in surprise and said, "How is this possible?"
Things like death always seem very far away if they don't happen around us.
Shen Wan covered her mouth and looked at Bai Xiyue's empty seat.
Chu Lan's face turned pale as well, he was stunned and couldn't come back to his senses.
Qiao Song had no time to care about other people's reactions. He felt like he was struck by lightning. If it wasn't almost time to finish school, he would have rushed out immediately.
How is that possible?
How could that man, who had said such heartless and cruel words to him at noon, die in the blink of an eye?
It's impossible. It's definitely impossible.
Qiao Song's face turned pale as he murmured in his heart, his whole body shaking unconsciously.
As soon as school was over, the three of them rushed towards the door.
"Do you know where Xiyue's family lives?"
"Know."
Qiao Song nodded, and the three of them ran over directly.
Chu Lan had a vague guess in his mind, but that guess was truly shocking.
When they arrived, some people were still discussing what happened at noon.
"It's really scary. I saw it with my own eyes. He chased the little girl with a knife. There was blood on the ground. It was her own mother's. She must have been mentally unstable to do such a thing. Poor little girl, I think she's still in high school."
Chu Lan felt his hands and feet go cold when he heard this, and he walked over and stared at the lady who was talking.
The lady stopped talking because of his cold stare, and felt quite uncomfortable.
"Is the person in the accident called Bai Xiyue?"
Chu Lan's voice was a little hoarse, and he kept praying in his heart that the answer would be no.
"Ah... yeah... I think that's the name."
A few people stood there in a daze for a while, then took a taxi to the police station.
Because the murderer was a relative, no one took the body back to claim it, so it is still in the police station.
When the white cloth was lifted, Shen Wan almost choked from crying.
Qiao Song's eyes were blank from the shock.
This world is so absurd, it’s really so absurd.
This was like a nightmare. He hoped very much to wake up soon, but he knew that he would never wake up.
The police notified Bai Xiyue's biological father, who took the body back and held a funeral.
Chu Lan and Qiao Song looked at each other, neither of them was better off than the other.
"Should we call Wei Changxi and tell him?"
Qiao Song asked.
Selfishly, he didn't want Wei Changxi to have anything to do with Bai Xiyue anymore, so that he wouldn't know any news about Bai Xiyue.
But he was in so much pain that he desperately hoped that someone could bear this pain with him.
"Aren't you her boyfriend now? Are you asking for my opinion?"
Chu Lan's voice was sarcastic, and surprisingly, it was more piercing than ever before.
Qiao Song opened his mouth and looked at Chu Lan's face, but did not tell him that Bai Xiyue had broken up with him.
It was an extremely twisted feeling, and in this situation, even a bit of morbid relief.
Even if she left, in the eyes of others, he would still be her only one.
I just don't know who the person she has fallen in love with is, and how she will react when she finds out about this.
In the end, Qiao Song still planned to tell Wei Changxi the fact.
He didn't want her funeral to be so lonely that there would be only a few people who sincerely mourned her.
He found Wei Changxi's class teacher and got the number.
Wei Changxi had just finished training with the team when he received the call.
His first reaction was that it was impossible. How could a person like that die like that?
The three of them gathered together, speechless, feeling indescribably sad.
They all had relationships with her, but no one really got her.
They watched as the so-called biological mother who killed her was imprisoned, watched as the media made a big fuss about the report, and watched as the Internet was filled with regret and curses against the mother.
They didn't say much, just watched quietly.
Because they know that after the bad reputation is revealed, others will no longer remember it, but they will always remember it.
——————
Extra
Chu Lan was not devastated by the death of the person he loved as his mother expected.
He still tried hard, but he always felt empty, as if something was missing.
Sometimes he still heard her voice, but knew it was just an illusion.
He was admitted to the university of his choice, and Shen Wan was admitted to the same city as him.
He and Shen Wan are still good friends, without any romantic thoughts.
Because with Shen Wan by their side, they can reminisce about someone together.
"Chu Lan, the news you told me before was actually about you and her, right?"
Shen Wan has long hair and looks much more mature than when she was in high school.
Chu Lan nodded, with bitterness in his eyes.
"I'm so glad she rejected you. It's better than living like that and having to suffer with you."
Chu Lan did not refute, but lowered his head and drank the wine. The wine tasted extremely strong and bitter to the heart.
When his college roommates saw Shen Wan for the first time, they started to make a fuss, saying that such a cold person like him was actually with a girl, and that she might not be his girlfriend.
He was always reluctant to waste time explaining things, but this time he took extra care to explain it to them.
"no."
He left his life with a sudden and decisive gesture, leaving the individual in his heart.
***
After Bai Xiyue left, Qiao Song felt depressed.
Even if I had two of myself, it seemed there was no way to solve this problem.
Qiao Song hated that heartless woman who gave him a gift and then took it away without mercy.
I hate it so much that I cry even in my dreams.
He no longer tried to be nice to someone just for the sake of his face. Whenever he had that thought, he couldn't help but want to vomit it out.
I thought of Bai Xiyue's face that day, and then I thought of the corpse under the white cloth.
How reliable is the face?
The man made him fascinated, captured his soul, and then tore it apart and threw it away.
Half a year later, a new team emerged and won first place in the district competition. They also defeated the old team in the national league and won the first place. For a while, they were in the limelight.
A year later, the team once again won the league championship and qualified to compete abroad in the global league. After several rounds of elimination, they were eliminated in the semi-finals.
Another year passed, and the team regained its strength, defeated its previous opponents, and won first place.
This was the first championship in five years. People in the country who paid attention to this matter spread the news, and the name of this team was completely memorized in people's minds, leaving a significant mark in the history of e-sports.
The most eye-catching one is undoubtedly the team's all-around jungler, Wei Changxi, who is crowned as a talented e-sports boy.
Wei Changxi was interviewed and the reporter asked him why he wanted to become a professional.
The reporter originally thought it would be love, after all, this is the answer that all professional e-sports players would say.
But unexpectedly, she guessed wrong.
"Why do I want to pursue a career... Actually, I didn't have the confidence to pursue a career at the beginning, but someone encouraged me. She said she thought I could do it and hoped that I would try my dream and not regret it. Because of her, I embarked on this path. All the efforts I made were not only because I liked it and loved it, but also to let her see it. I kept everything she said in mind."
"So that's how it is. That person must be a girl."
The reporter made a face and felt that everyone would cry out when this wave of dog food was released.
"Yes, it's a girl. In my eyes, she is the most beautiful girl."
"Is she your girlfriend? Did she show up to support you during the games?"
After the reporter asked the question, he saw a lonely look on the boy's face.
"No, not my girlfriend. She has been away from me for two years."
"I hope she can sleep soundly in the other world."
————
Bai Xiyue slept very well, of course.
After completing the task, I chose the forest mode and had a good sleep in nature to replenish my energy.
As for the stabbings, she didn't care at all. One has to be ruthless. She had been stabbed many times before.
[System]: Energy summary is complete. Your energy point is now 2.5.
[Bai Xiyue]: This number doesn't sound good. Tongzi, can't you round it off?
[System]: No, host, you want to go to the next world? Now you have two options to choose from.
【Bai Xiyue】: Say.
[System]: You can choose to enter a world randomly, just like the first two tasks, and the energy points you get are between 1 and 1.5. Another option is to enter a difficult world. If you succeed, you can get 5 energy points.
【Bai Xiyue】: 5???
Unexpected fortune?
No, no, that's not right. This is a disaster that came out of nowhere.
[Bai Xiyue]: The worlds of 1 to 1.5 are already very abnormal, like the first one! The world of 5 energy points makes people want to commit suicide on the spot!
It is literally 5 times more difficult, and at least 3.333 times more difficult.
[System]: So what is your choice, host?
5 o'clock, ah 5 o'clock, Bai Xiyue is extremely entangled.
With 10 energy points, you can go home, return to your normal life, live a carefree and joyful life with a nine-digit savings, and be free from pain or disaster.
Although the difficulty has doubled, the progress is also a big leap. Go ahead.
Do it or not?
Of course I did!
How courageous are the people! How productive is the earth!
Go!
【Bai Xiyue】: Choose the one with number 5.
【System】:Okay.
Bai Xiyue opened her eyes again and found herself in a hotel.
She was sitting on the bed, which was covered with rose petals.
There was a sound of water coming from the bathroom, and through the blurry glass I saw a man.
Bai Xiyue's heart skipped a beat.
Based on her experience, this situation would definitely not be good.
[System]: Your mission is to successfully break up with the four mission targets without triggering your husband's dark state.
???
husband???
Four???
Break up again!!!
Bai Xiyue felt a little pain in her kidney.
[Bai Xiyue]: Which target is the one in the bathroom?
【System】: Sorry, he is not.
Bai Xiyue breathed a sigh of relief. This means it hasn't worked out yet, right?
[System]: He is not qualified to be a mission target yet, he is just one of the original owner's cheating lovers.
one???
In other words, besides this man and the four mission targets, there are other men?
So hi.
No way.
Bai Xiyue wanted to commit suicide on the spot.
What theaaaaaah!
Can't you just be a good person?
[System]: The system kindly reminds you that your husband will appear outside the door in three minutes, please be prepared.
Catch... catch an adulterer?
Bai Xiyue took a deep breath and began to throw the rose petals on the bed under the bed.
"What are you doing, honey?"
The man wrapped in a bath towel walked out and asked curiously.
"My husband is coming, find a place to hide quickly."
"Oh ok...what? You have a husband?"
The man raised his voice and looked shocked.
Yeah, I just found out about it too.
