Huaxu stroked his chin, thought for a moment and said, "It's totally feasible. I know the address of Xiuxiu's home."
When Zhou Xiu wrote letters to her friends in the countryside, she never avoided Huaxu. Several times when Zhou Xiu was not available, Huaxu helped her mail the letters.
"Are you going?"
Oh shit, Sister Xu actually knows the address of Xiuxiu’s hometown?
The friends watched the behind-the-scenes footage with surprise, "Sister Xu is amazing!"
"Let's go quietly and tell Xiuxiu when we get there."
Huaxu cleared his throat and said, "But before that, you all need to go home and ask your parents for their opinions."
The girls and boys nodded rapidly.
…
Outside the tea restaurant.
Zhou Laidie held a bag full of bread and cakes with satisfaction and counted them carefully. She looked at the bustling city with envy.
After returning to her place of residence, Zhou Laidi proudly handed the delicious cake to her sister who came with her. She asked, "Where is my brother-in-law?"
Zhou Yingdi gobbled the cake, "I don't know, maybe our dad and him went to look for uncle."
…
After school.
Zhou Xiu walked out of the school carrying a schoolbag and holding the test paper in her hand. She suddenly stopped while holding the exercise book.
Several men blocked Zhou Xiu's way, and one of them called out tentatively, "A Xiu?"
Zhou Xiu raised his head and took a look, then froze in place.
The people who came were Uncle Zhou Er, who came to the city to look for Zhou Cheng's family, and Zhu Bin, who gave the Zhou family a betrothal gift of 50,000 yuan.
The moment Zhou Xiu stopped, Zhu Bin's eyes suddenly widened and a hint of surprise flashed across his face.
This is actually Zhou Xiu?
Things changed too fast. Zhou Xiu used to be a shabby piece of cake, and the Zhu family was not even willing to pay an extra thousand yuan for the betrothal gift. Who would have thought that she is so beautiful now that people wouldn't recognize her even when she walks on the street? Zhu Bin's eyes revealed greed.
There is a kind of joy that comes from accidentally picking up a treasure.
Uncle Zhou Er patted the man beside him and said, "You're right, aren't you? How could I not recognize my niece?"
He turned around and said, "Xiu! You've really changed a lot since you grew up. Second uncle almost didn't recognize you—"
Zhou Xiu hugged the test paper tightly in her arms and walked around them.
It was quiet all around, with few people passing by. Zhou Xiu grabbed the phone in his pocket and called the police.
Zhu Bin immediately grabbed Zhou Xiu, pointed at himself and said, "A Xiu, don't you remember me? I'm your husband. You, girl, you don't even recognize anyone when you come to the city!"
The test book in Zhou Xiu's arms fell to the ground, and the snow-white test papers were scattered all over the floor. Zhou Xiu squatted down and picked up the test papers.
"Are you still stubborn? Zhou Xiu, come with me!"
The fellow villagers who came with Uncle Zhou Er also criticized him, saying, "You can't even speak a word. How unbecoming."
The next moment, the hand that was on Zhou Xiu's shoulder was suddenly pried off by someone.
There was a sound of bones crackling and dislocating, followed by a scream that pierced the air.
Zhou Xiu was pulled up from the ground holding the test paper.
She raised her head and saw Xi Shaoyuan's cold face.
A little unexpected, but not surprising.
Xi Shaoyuan pushed Zhou Xiu to a corner with few people. He calmly avoided Zhou Xiu's gaze, took off the wristband without saying a word, and threw it on the ground.
The young man clenched his fists and started fighting decisively.
Several middle-aged strong men rolled on the ground repeatedly, being beaten by a teenager until they had no strength to resist and howled in pain.
Uncle Zhou groaned, "There is no law anymore. Xiu, Zhou Xiu, Xiu'er! Save me!"
Zhou Xiu saw blood in the corners of Xi Shaoyuan's eyes. Seeing that he was about to fight and bleed, she walked up to him and held him back. Zhou Xiu shook his head.
Xi Shaoyuan stepped on Zhu Bin's hand and crushed it hard.
He squatted down and said coldly to the two men: "Get lost?"
Uncle Zhou Er saw Xi Shaoyuan as if he had seen a demon. He held his head and tears rolled down his cheeks unexpectedly. "Is there still any law?"
Xi Shaoyuan said calmly: "For you, no."
Zhang Qi, who came with Xi Shaoyuan, was so shocked that the basketball in his hand dropped and the ice cream went all over his face.
The Xi family's driver parked the car on the side of the road, and the housekeeper calmly called the police.
Before he could make the call, the sound of a police car rang out.
Zhou Xiu walked over and grabbed Xi Shaoyuan, took out a Band-Aid from her schoolbag and handed it to him.
Xi Shaoyuan took a look and ran away in a flash.
Uncle Zhou Er, who was hit hard, and his group welcomed the police. They looked at the police as if they had met their relatives and accused the "escaped" teenager on the road.
"Police, yes, yes, it's him, he beat the person!"
The police who arrived just in time were stunned at first, then calmly took out handcuffs and put them on the screaming man lying on the ground, "If you have anything to say, wait until we get to the police station."
The Xi family's housekeeper spoke a few words to the police in a gentle manner.
Uncle Zhou Er only heard them say politely, "Thank you, Mr. Xi, for your courageous act."
"No, no, no, how could there be a misunderstanding? Master Xi is a law-abiding citizen."
Uncle Zhou Er and a group of his fellow villagers were handcuffed and put into the police car.
…
Zhou Xiu watched Xi Shaoyuan run away. She chased him for a few steps, took a breath, looked at him and shouted, "Xi Shaoyuan, stop right there."
Zhou Xiu took out her cell phone and called Xi Shaoyuan.
The shadow in front, as small as a grain of rice, finally stopped.
Zhou Xiu walked up quickly, looked down at Xi Shaoyuan's bleeding fist, took out the iodine cotton gauze from her schoolbag, and held his injured hand.
Her expression was a little complicated. "Why are you running? I won't eat you."
She carefully washed the blood off his hands with a cotton ball and slowly put on a Band-Aid.
Zhou Xiu lowered her head and asked, "Does it hurt?"
The young man pursed his lips and said nothing. He listened to her gentle voice, clenching his bleeding fists and almost losing his strength.
The wet and greasy thumb loosened and the phone fell to the ground.
Zhou Xiu looked at Xi Shaoyuan's other hand, and when she opened it, she saw that the back of his hand was almost bloody. She asked, "Xi Shaoyuan, don't you hate me?"
The boy didn't answer.
Zhou Xiu added: "You follow me like a shadow every day, aren't you tired?"
Xi Shaoyuan unexpectedly retorted: "No."
I don't know which of the two questions to answer.
Xi Shaoyuan looked at Zhou Xiu, lowered his head and turned his head away, looking towards the blue sky.
I don't hate you very much. Xiuxiu is the best Xiuxiu...
Xi Shaoyuan's palms were wrapped up with gauze bandages, and his heart, which had been expelled for a long time, seemed to be tied back again.
The warmth from Zhou Xiu's fingertips was transferred to his skin.
He grabbed Zhou Xiu's hand, pushed her away, and said calmly: "Don't wrap it, Zhou Xiu, Zhang Qi and I were just passing by, don't--"
Xi Shaoyuan gritted his teeth and said coldly, "Don't be so self-indulgent."
Zhou Xiu stopped what she was doing, picked up Xi Shaoyuan's phone from the ground, and accidentally turned on the screen, with the call records clearly displayed.
"Xiu Xiu baby, 15836642671."
Zhou Xiu looked at him in surprise for a few seconds, then raised his head and looked at Xi Shaoyuan.
Xi Shaoyuan was stunned for a moment, quickly snatched back the phone, put it in his pocket with a cold face, and turned away.
Zhou Xiu looked at Xi Shaoyuan's gradually disappearing figure with complicated eyes. She threw the contaminated garbage into the trash can, took out the coins and walked towards the subway station.
