Wang Xingrui shuddered and looked back at Su Yin beside her, actually feeling a little scared.
"Xiao Xiao Su, the role you play this time is completely different from you!"
Su Yin hummed and said nonchalantly, "Yeah, Brother Yang said I could play more diverse roles. So I gave it a try and found it really interesting. I really like this role."
"Anyway," Tang Yue also spoke up at this time, her expression quite serious, "I also think your character is the most impressive. You can remember it at a glance."
"And Xiao Xiao Su's acting was really good. It felt like her character wasn't supposed to have many expressions, but she still relied on some small details and actions to make people feel her character more intuitively. If it were me, I definitely wouldn't be able to act so well." Lin Xuan'er analyzed the role very seriously, and even thought about what the effect would be if she were to perform instead.
Su Yin felt a little embarrassed listening to the three of them. "I'll take your compliments seriously! Actually, you'll see later on how well Sister Zishan and the other seniors acted. I was stunned!"
After hearing what Su Yin said, the three of them continued to play the rest of the video.
The camera has now shifted to a character who appears for the first time so far.
She is also a very capable middle-aged actress in the industry. Her puffy eyes, messy hair, and slightly bloated body make her look so decadent in the eyes of others.
She plays the role of Chunying, the mother of the deceased Xiaokui and the homeroom teacher of An Ning and Xueli.
Her eyes were bloodshot, but when she pressed the play button again, she still stared at it, afraid of missing any details.
It was a surveillance video that she copied from the school's surveillance room.
The time in the upper right corner read 7:55, meaning school had already ended a long time ago. The school swimming pool was completely deserted, and the nearest basketball court was completely blocked by a high wall, making it impossible to see what was happening there.
Xiao Kui soon appeared by the swimming pool. Using his status as a teacher's child, he persuaded the teacher at the equipment management office and obtained the key to open the swimming pool gate.
Chunying rubbed her eyes and found that they were so dry that she could not shed a single tear.
She gritted her teeth and continued to watch the scene that she had watched countless times but still had no results.
Xiao Kui came alone; at least the surveillance footage didn't show him with anyone else. He stood by the pool for about five minutes before slowly taking off his clothes, one piece at a time.
[After he stripped down to only his underwear, Xiao Kui raised her head and suddenly smiled happily.]
"Why!"
Chunying felt extremely uncomfortable every time she saw this smile. That smile was like a silent judgment and mockery of her!
Her body gradually trembled with anger, and then calmed down because of powerlessness.
Xiao Kui dove into the pool without struggling, until he ran out of bubbles and slowly floated up.
He died just like that.
Chunying rubbed her eye sockets with her wrists. She was like a wild beast on the verge of collapse, full of anger but unable to find a way to vent it.
It was unknown how long it took before Chunying's body, which seemed to have been petrified, began to move.
She refused to believe it was suicide, even though all the clues pointed to the same cause of death.
Just at this moment, the cell phone rang.
She was stunned and did not take the mobile phone at hand. Instead, she opened the cabinet and took out a spare mobile phone.
The caller ID note is also strange:
[Maintenance Engineer Wang].
She took a deep breath, as if she was making an important decision, and did not answer the phone until the ringing stopped.
However, a second later, the other party sent another text message.
[I'm at the door, open it.]
Chunying rushed into the bathroom reflexively, washed her face hastily, changed into clean clothes, and then opened the door.
Yang Rui, wearing a light sportswear, looked at Chunying.
"How many days have you not slept?"
"You, why are you here?" Chunying turned aside and tried to bend down to get Yang Rui's shoes, but she felt nauseous. "It's so late, does your wife know?"
"She's asleep." Yang Rui sat on the sofa. "I went out for a night run and ended up nearby without realizing it, so I thought of coming up to take a look. I'm sorry about Xiao Kui."
"No need." Chunying shook her head. "I should thank you. You've helped a lot and even asked the police to pay special attention to this case. As a... caring parent, you've done more than enough."
"Actually, Xueli asked me to do that," Yang Rui said nonchalantly, and took out his phone to order a takeaway for Chunying. "She and Xiaokui should have a good relationship."
"Really?" Chunying was a little surprised. She held the cup, as if thinking about something. "Then can you ask Xueli who Xiaokui is with privately? You said I'm his mother and his class teacher, but I don't know anything about the child."
"This is not your fault," Yang Rui patted Chunying's back with his hand, and said in a very gentle tone: "As parents, we can't fully understand our children. You have done a good job."
"You know," Yang Rui gently cupped Chunying's face, "children tend to get stuck in obsessions easily. Sometimes they don't react quickly enough and might do something stupid. What you should do now is cheer up."
Chunying still pushed Yang Rui away: "Sorry, I can't do it right now. And I don't think Xiaokui is the kind of child who would commit suicide. There must be something wrong here!"
Yang Rui didn't say anything else. He finally left a kiss on Chunying's forehead and left.
When he got home and turned on the light in the living room, he suddenly found someone sitting on the sofa.
Even Yang Rui was shocked.
"Why are you here?"
Zijun pursed her lips. "I woke up and found you missing, so I was a little worried. I called you and found that you left your phone at home."
"I couldn't sleep, so I went out for a night run." Yang Rui glanced at Zijun apologetically: "Come on, let's go upstairs. It would be bad if we woke Xueli up."
Zijun nodded.
The couple started upstairs in silence.
The audience found that the short film particularly liked to shoot shots of going upstairs.
They walked up step by step with their backs to the audience. Although their expressions could not be seen, they gave people the feeling that they had ulterior motives.
Zijun suddenly said, "It's pitiful that the child has been kept in the doghouse. Let's let him live here starting tomorrow."
"After all, he is your own flesh and blood."
