Chapter 79 Chapter 79 "I understand, after all, mentally ill people kill people...
On Monday morning, the first person in the dormitory to get up went to the balcony to collect clothes. When he looked downstairs, he saw the tall figure.
The sky was the color of the dark blue sky, and the sunrise had not yet arrived. He was wearing a camel-colored coat, almost blending into the shadows under his feet. He looked a little lonely, but with an innate arrogance, as if he was not here to apologize, but to reclaim his throne.
When the others got up one after another, they soon learned that Shen Xingchuan had come again. They went to the balcony to take a look, and then began to collect clothes together.
Yao Yingxia was the last one to get up because she was still in the recovery period. However, when she woke up, her roommates had already prepared a set of clothes for her.
It includes a thick woolen white bucket hat, a light blue woolen long skirt, a gray-blue coat, and even a chestnut brown wig.
These are not the styles and colors she usually chooses.
One of the roommates blinked expectantly, "Xia Xia, wear this outfit today. It's freshly washed. Let's see if we can hide it from the public."
Yao Yingxia readily agreed. After all, she didn't want to have direct contact with Shen Xingchuan for the time being. Talking to him was really exhausting. Even though she knew his patience was limited, she wanted to delay it as long as possible.
After getting up and washing up, Yao Yingxia put on her equipment and finally put on a mask.
She looks very gentle now, which is very different from her usual first impression. The soft colors neutralize her cold feeling very well.
Even Yao Yingxia felt like a stranger to her.
Several roommates were planning to go out at a different time from her. One of them explained, "Yesterday when we went downstairs to eat, Gorilla stopped us and asked about you. I didn't expect him to recognize us. Xia Xia, have you shown him our photo?"
Of course not.
The familiar feeling of being entangled by thousands of threads appeared again. Shen Xingchuan was like a mold growing in a dark corner. If you got even a little bit of it, it would quickly spread all over your back until it completely swallowed you up.
He wanted to control her completely and monitor her at all times.
Yao Yingxia wasn't surprised by his lingering presence, as he had always been doing this since he'd set his sights on her.
Shen Xingchuan is very meticulous in his work and is used to taking precautions. He is always determined to get what he likes and will not allow any mistakes.
This habit made him feel at ease in the business world. Shen Xingchuan almost never failed. Occasionally, he would give up on his own initiative only when he found that the disadvantages outweighed the advantages, or when something more profitable appeared. He would only give something away if he didn't want it.
But from the day he knew what he was feeling, he never thought of giving up halfway or being greedy for more.
When capitalists no longer weigh the pros and cons, that is true love.
He unwaveringly implemented and pushed forward his plan, even if the process was difficult and might occasionally hurt Yao Yingxia, but in order to achieve his wish, he would not show mercy.
But now that he has obtained the treasure he has longed for, it doesn't make sense for him to continue hurting her like this. Even though he is likely to have mental problems, Shen Xingchuan feels ashamed of what he has done.
The corridor was long and there were no large windows for lighting. When Yao Yingxia looked over in the dim light of the room, she saw the familiar face.
He seemed lost in thought, his face expressionless and his entire appearance extremely serious. It was so intense that Yao Yingxia felt lost. Most of the time, Shen Xingchuan was content to pretend to be good-tempered, even if that wasn't his true nature.
When she was still two or three meters away from the door, she lowered her head slightly, letting her fisherman's hat cover her eyes, and passed him by.
Yao Yingxia tried hard not to look nervous and blended into the crowd as much as possible. After walking fifty meters, she realized that her palms were wet.
This is obviously a very safe place. No matter how crazy Shen Xingchuan is, he can't do anything in the school. But she still feels genuinely scared, and the weather seems to be much gloomier.
She wrapped her coat tightly, quickened her pace and walked into the cafeteria. She felt that she needed something warm to eat today, so she ordered a bowl of noodles.
The cafeteria was empty that morning, with most students opting for takeout. She sat alone in an unassuming corner, waiting for her turn. Having not eaten much in two days, she was genuinely hungry.
However, soon an uninvited guest sat opposite her. Yao Yingxia raised her eyes in fear, but finally relaxed after finding out that it was not Shen Xingchuan.
Although the boy in front of her looked familiar, Yao Yingxia really couldn't remember his name. She only remembered that he had once chased her to the hospital and wanted to give her a bag of money.
The young face had a wry smile on it as he greeted her and said, "Long time no see."
There was something in his eyes that Yao Yingxia was very familiar with, but she didn't need this kind of love that was useless and would only bring her trouble. So after a simple greeting, Yao Yingxia continued to eat with her head down, avoiding his gaze.
Peng Ye continued to stare at her, as if he could no longer see anything else except Yao Yingxia.
Even her eating manners were very good. Even when she needed to lower her head slightly, she did not hunch over. She was like a tough green bamboo. She didn't even make any sound from beginning to end.
Peng Ye only wished that time would stop, so that he could look at her a little longer. In fact, ever since he found out she had gotten married, Peng Ye had been devastated, barely even attending the classes he had taken with Yao Yingxia.
But in such a large campus, with tens of thousands of teachers and students and more than a dozen canteens, they still met.
It's obviously fate.
Peng Ye became more and more unwilling.
He had been pursuing Yao Yingxia for two years, believing himself to be a favored child, not inferior to anyone in every way. However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not get any closer to Yao Yingxia. And she was so young, yet she insisted on choosing such an old man, rushing to get married before graduating from college, wasn't it just because he was rich?
Peng Ye felt ashamed of falling in love with such a materialistic woman, and was also annoyed that he was still attracted to her even though he knew she was such a bad person.
Under that scorching gaze, Yao Yingxia quickly lost her appetite. She put down her chopsticks, as if she was not going to eat anymore.
Peng Ye suddenly spoke up, staring at her with a strange look on his face and asked, "If I were as rich as him, would you choose me?"
This was a trap with a pre-set premise. If she answered along his lines, it would confirm her own impure motives. Although this was the truth, she never had a choice and didn't want to let others talk about her.
Yao Yingxia smiled without any emotion, and a thin layer of ice seemed to form in her eyes: "Since I can dream, I might as well become rich myself."
He has no sense of boundaries and no respect for others. Apart from Xiao An, are there few normal men in this world?
Peng Ye was speechless for a moment. Yao Yingxia was about to leave when the empty seat next to her was already occupied. He was so tall that even sitting down he looked like a small mountain. Yao Yingxia felt as if she were being enveloped in a shadow.
A large hand grabbed her wrist, and Yao Yingxia heard a familiar chuckle: "What an interesting question, and a wonderful answer."
Yao Yingxia finally understood that Peng Ye had asked this question on purpose because he had already seen Shen Xingchuan standing behind her.
A wave of nausea rose in her heart, as she felt that he had such evil intentions and wished he could kill her. Fortunately, her answer hadn't touched Shen Xingchuan's bottom line.
But Yao Yingxia's cold eyes still swept over him as if he were trash. Peng Ye finally couldn't bear it anymore and almost ran away: "I won't bother you anymore."
Yao Yingxia also wanted to leave, but Shen Xingchuan refused to let go. He didn't use much force, just controlled her so that she couldn't leave: "Xia Xia, I only need five minutes."
She didn't want to argue with Shen Xingchuan at school, so she finally sat down again and looked down at her clothes and Yu Guangzhong's chestnut-brown wig.
Shen Xingchuan probably knew what she was thinking and explained it like a detective: "I stopped your roommate yesterday, so he definitely won't go with you today. I just need to pay special attention to anyone who's alone."
"I think I've become very famous recently. Most people would look at me curiously when they pass by. Xia Xia, you didn't even look up the whole time."
"Besides, I bought the shoes on your feet myself."
Although he knew every piece of clothing Yao Yingxia wore, the above was not the key to recognizing her.
In fact, Shen Xingchuan didn't even look at the shoes at first glance. Yao Yingxia's figure, posture, and walking posture were like an old film engraved deep in his memory. He was too familiar with her. No matter how fully armed Yao Yingxia was, he could recognize her at a glance in the crowd, even if he was still slightly distracted at the time.
But if I tell the truth, Yao Yingxia will probably be even more scared.
At the moment, she was like a frightened bird, but Shen Xingchuan was quite happy about it, as if he had just accomplished some extraordinary feat and found a huge treasure.
This made Yao Yingxia even more uneasy, as Shen Xingchuan seemed to be becoming more and more abnormal.
What he just did was like a shrewd hunter explaining the hunting process to the rabbit he caught. It was so cruel that Yao Yingxia suffered psychological torture again.
She didn't want to listen anymore and asked palely, "Is there anything else? I have to go to class."
Shen Xingchuan finally got to the point and apologized sincerely, "Xia Xia, I'm sorry. I didn't know the seriousness of the matter."
He hadn't wanted to tell her about his illness, after all, it hadn't been confirmed yet. But seeing Yao Yingxia's indifferent look, he was helpless and could only excuse his actions: "There might be something wrong with my mental state. I can't even recall what happened the night before last."
Yao Yingxia finally turned around to look at him. Shen Xingchuan seemed to have absorbed her energy and reshaped his body. He looked much better than when they first met on Friday night.
But she paid the price.
Yao Yingxia smiled and nodded, pulling down her collar to show him a look: "I understand. After all, it's not illegal for a mentally ill person to kill someone."
Her neck and collarbone were covered with purple-red kiss marks, and Shen Xingchuan could hardly see her original creamy base.
He was heartbroken and wanted to hug Yao Yingxia to comfort her, but as soon as he reached out his hand, the girl's eyelashes trembled like a moth.
He felt bitter in his heart, but he finally withdrew his hand: "After flying back to City A, I will do a detailed examination. If it is really confirmed, I will receive treatment as soon as possible. Xia Xia, forgive me."
Yao Yingxia's eyeballs were like an ice ball condensed in an extremely cold place. Even though it could reflect bright light when illuminated by the sunlight, it could only bring coldness to people.
As she pondered this, she asked, "Will there be serious consequences for me if I don't forgive you?"
She hadn't finished her subtext, but Shen Xingchuan knew what she meant. If he threatened her, he would soon be "forgiven." After all, she had no one to rely on and could only be slaughtered.
Although this was extremely tempting to him, Shen Xingchuan still shook his head: "I won't do anything, Xia Xia, I'll wait for you to calm down."
After getting the promise, Yao Yingxia left without looking back, as if she had never appeared.
He brought over most of Yao Yingxia's remaining noodles and ate them all.
When he calmed down and his brain started working again, the first thing Shen Xingchuan thought of was that she looked good in such a pink color.
