Chapter 45 Senior 12
It was a rainy day when she was picked up by her grandmother. Wei Jingan's memory stayed on that day. She squatted on the stone steps in panic. Her grandmother, who was over 80 years old, opened the door and took her home.
She was filled with gratitude towards her grandmother. From a very young age, she would take the initiative to do chores around the house, but her grandmother always stopped her, saying she was still a child and just needed to study hard. She listened carefully to her grandmother's advice and studied diligently.
I made a good friend from the same village in elementary school and went to her house. She also lived with her grandmother, and the mountain life was poor. Her grandmother made a wild vegetable porridge and specially added chopped eggs for us to share.
Her friend's grandmother would lovingly nag her, telling her to eat slowly and that the food was too hot, and would wipe her shiny, dyed chin with a handkerchief. Little Wei Jing'an sat by, watching enviously, comforting herself that her grandmother was old and she should be filial, not demanding.
Wei Jingan respected her grandmother. Although she occasionally keenly sensed that her grandmother didn't like her that much, or rather, that she loved her, there always seemed to be something between them. Sometimes her eyes inadvertently revealed... fear?
Shaking away the chaotic thoughts in her mind, Wei Jing'an opened the letter from the village chief. It said her grandmother, who lived alone in her hometown and was too old, had once fallen in the yard. The village chief had taken her to see a doctor, who said it was nothing serious. However, he had recently been hearing strange noises coming from her grandmother's house.
It sounded like the groans and moans of someone in extreme pain.
The village chief found the grandmother and noticed that she looked very bad. When he asked her about her condition, she refused to tell him. In desperation, he wrote to Wei Jingan.
Wei Jingan put the letter away, wondering when to go back. Li Jingjing poked her head out from the upper bunk and asked, "Is this a letter from your family?"
Wei Jingan nodded and told the truth: "My grandma is not feeling well, I want to take a leave to go back."
"Is it serious?"
"I'm not sure, so I'm a little worried."
Li Jingjing comforted her: "Don't worry, it's useless for you to go back even if you're not a doctor. National Day is just a few days away, and we don't have classes before National Day. If you ask your counselor for a few more days off, you'll have half a month in total, which is enough for you to take care of grandma."
Wei Jing'an planned to do the same. Even if she took leave now, it wouldn't last long. The old man always had health issues. She earned some money from her part-time job, and kind people gave her a lot. If something really happened, she would have to withdraw that money first.
Wei Jing'an made up her mind and decided to write a letter to the village chief and send him some money, asking him to help look after her grandmother. Just as she was about to write, Liu Zilin's slightly sharp voice rang out, "Jing'an, are you from a mountain village? Your place must be very poor, right? I heard that poor places get extra points in the college entrance exam. Otherwise, with the educational resources in your place, you wouldn't have been able to get into Qingdao University, right?"
Li Jingjing: "What are you talking about!"
Liu Zilin muttered, "I'm just asking."
Wei Jingan slowly removed the cap from her pen and began writing on the letter paper, seemingly unaffected. After writing a few lines, she straightened her back, looked up at the indignant Liu Zilin, and said, "My grades are the result of hard work. If you're unhappy, just say it directly. There's no need to beat around the bush."
Liu Zilin: "I'm not unhappy at all!"
She rolled over in bed, angrily opening her phone and looking at the posts floating on the front page of the forum. She felt a pang of anger building up in her chest. Since last night, someone had been reporting that Lin Yanzhou had hooked up with a new schoolgirl, not only rescuing her from the water but also allowing her to sleep in his car.
The two stayed in the closed compartment for a whole night!
To Liu Zilin, this incident was like a scandal involving a man she had admired for so long, having abandoned his wonderful wife for an outsider and a young mistress. Her sense of morality and justice prevented her from treating her roommate calmly, and she was already giving him face by not cursing.
She angrily flipped through the pages, making a lot of noise. She even deliberately found similar news stories and read them aloud in the dormitory, concluding with her opinion: "Shameless!"
Li Jingjing looked unhappy and scolded Liu Zilin in a low voice. Liu Zilin ignored her completely. Instead, she felt a sense of initial victory because of her reaction. Next, she just wanted to make Wei Jingan feel ashamed.
After Wei Jingan finished writing the letter, she wrapped the letter paper in an opened envelope and walked out with it. When she opened the dormitory door, her resounding voice floated throughout the corridor.
"Lin Yanzhou was never with Zhang Wei. Everyone has the right to pursue him, including me."
…
After leaving the express delivery station, many people she met on the road cast contemptuous glances at her. Most of them were madly pursuing Lin Yanzhou, or were envious or suspicious. She ignored them all and walked slowly towards the dormitory.
The closest express delivery station to the girls' dormitory was at the base of the cafeteria, where the entire basement floor was dedicated to delivery. Behind the cafeteria lay the woods, and the winding path was difficult to see clearly in the dark.
Wei Jingan turned in.
My steps slowed down on the gravel path.
The footsteps following behind him became clearer and clearer.
Wei Jingan stepped on the stones and gradually stopped. She stood in front of a not-so-young tree. The huge shadow enveloped her. She clenched her fists loosely, and her five fingers were stronger than before.
She hadn't even caught her breath on the walk from the cafeteria to the woods. Her body was slowly getting better, at a pace she could detect. Every day when she opened her eyes, she could feel the changes. These changes filled her with genuine joy.
It’s like when a person who is losing weight steps on the scale, even if he loses only a few pounds, the smile will stay on his face all day long.
The man came out from the shadows. His familiar face surprised Wei Jingan a little. She felt as if she had seen him somewhere.
The man introduced himself: "Why? You don't recognize me so quickly. My name is Jiang Chang. You probably haven't forgotten the stick you hit me with a few days ago."
He gritted his teeth, brooding over what happened that day, even feeling jealous and resentful. He was a person who could cruelly abuse animals, so how could he not feel resentment after being beaten with a stick?
Lin Yanzhou's kick made him realize the difference between the two of them. Even the most vicious person can tell who can be bullied and who can't be provoked. He was lying in bed in the dormitory, almost exhausted. Now that he was finally able to get out of bed, he happened to run into Wei Jingan acting alone. Such a good opportunity, there was no way he would let it go.
Even the kick from Lin Yanzhou that day will be entirely blamed on Wei Jingan.
"I remember you." Wei Jingan's tone was calm, exactly the same as her expression.
The moonlight shone softly on her body, adding a touch of brightness to the dark woods. Although she was thin, she wore a loose coat, and the cool breeze revealed her beautiful figure.
Jiang Chang snorted coldly, turned on the recording function of his mobile phone and placed it on the ground. It was obvious that he came prepared, or he was very familiar with this kind of thing.
"I can't possibly forgive you. If you had begged me that day, I would have let the cat go. But you hit me on the head. The doctor said I have a concussion... You have to take responsibility for this, or I'll sue you and you have to pay me compensation."
Jiang Chang approached Wei Jing'an, but she didn't even try to hide. She stood there, as if petrified, her breathing becoming rapid. In the moonlight, she could even see the sweat dripping from her forehead.
Women, it's no use always crying when you're in danger. Aren't you just going to beg him for mercy?
This was the woman before him, cowering in fear against the thick tree trunk. Did she think this would earn his mercy and allow him to let her go? Impossible. Once he was done, the woman's miserable tears would ease his resentment. These girls, who valued their chastity, wouldn't dare do anything else when faced with the video he held. They might even allow him to manipulate them for fun.
They value chastity more than life.
Jiang Chang's throat was filled with excited gasps. As he approached, he could clearly see the girl crouching on the ground, her big, watery eyes filled with tears, and her body trembling with sweat from fear.
A secret excitement gripped Wei Jingan's heart.
Perhaps she had indeed been poisoned by the giant octopus. For the past few days, her blood had felt like it was burning, as if coated in chili oil, making her desperately want to do something. That night in Lin Yanzhou's carriage, she had been dreaming of the man's body repeatedly.
Strong, powerful, and upright.
The unresolved evil fire could not find the right path and could only go astray. When she learned that someone was following her, she felt a kind of indescribable excitement in her heart, especially since she had another guarantee.
A thick and powerful tentacle.
She had discovered it long ago.
When Wei Jing'an entered the bathroom, it had hidden in the clothes closet, curled up tightly and tangled together. She was only wearing a change of underwear at the time, and she didn't know if the tentacle had vision or could see her, but she felt the shame of being spied on, but not anger.
Perhaps it is because it is not something that exists within the scope of human cognition.
After her reaction to the tentacle last time, she subconsciously felt that it would not hurt her, so she pretended not to notice and returned to the dormitory.
Then she came out to deliver the letters.
Jiang Chang was still immersed in the joy of his imminent success, but he suddenly felt his forehead being smashed by a sharp stone. Pain exploded throughout his body, and scarlet liquid flowed into his eyes. In the midst of his rage, he was actually strangled by something indescribable, and he lowered his eyes to look—
What is that thing!
Scarlet and dark, it exudes a strong, wet, fishy and terrifying smell.
While he was stunned, he was actually in a state of fear. Wei Jingan grabbed his short hair from the roots and slammed it to the ground with a vicious momentum. Jiang Chang let out a few weak moans.
The excited gasps and breaths in his throat suddenly turned into helpless and painful wails.
The woman in front of him had a fair and soft face, but revealed a frightening and crazy expression.
The soft touch, unwilling to give in, pierced Jiang Chang's thigh, and blood flowed all over the ground.
Dense beads of sweat covered Wei Jingan's slender white neck. The moment she lost strength, the burning emotions that had gripped her thoughts and driven her crazy gradually faded away. She silently watched Jiang Chang lying limply in a pool of blood.
She supported herself on the ground with her hands, stood up, and pulled up the hem of her trousers that were hanging down to her feet, revealing her calves that were dazzling in the moonlight.
"Come here and hide."
The soft touch was a little dazed, and it obediently moved over and tentatively wrapped around her calves. She didn't resist, and it rubbed all over it affectionately.
Wei Jingan dropped her trouser legs, grabbed her phone, which was still recording the video, and deleted it. She pursed her lips as Jiang Chang continued to make meaningless pleas.
The album contains a large number of secretly taken photos and videos.
There were no cameras on this stretch of road, but she was still a little worried.
She observed the bloody wound on his leg. It was as ferocious as if torn open by a wild beast, completely beyond human power. And this was especially true for a girl like her who was always seen as weak and sickly.
She called the police, her voice trembling with emotion, and her voice had a softness unique to her voice, with a slight stutter, revealing that the owner of the voice had just experienced something that would leave her in a state of deep regret for a long time.
"Someone's following me! I'm a student at Qingdao University. I was followed by a boy in the grove near the cafeteria! Uncle, please save me! I-I beat him up, and he said he was going to take a picture of me with his phone and make me beg him... He wants to rape me!"
"It's okay, it's okay. He fell down by himself. I don't know what happened. He suddenly stopped talking. It's so scary..."
She was incoherent and panic-stricken. Even through the phone, the people on the other end seemed to see a girl squatting in the dark woods with tears in her eyes, crying helplessly.
They were the only straws she could grasp.
The night was dark and there was no time to linger until justice was served to the little girl.
