Chapter 38 Childhood Sweetheart Falls in Love with School Bully (7)
"You eloped with someone?"
Zhao Xianglian looked completely bewildered; she had no idea that Lu Feiyan was dating someone.
Mother Lu collapsed onto the sofa, heartbroken.
"Yes, it was that bastard Han Lei who lied to my daughter. I wish I could tear him to pieces!"
Han Lei?
Zhao Xianglian was completely bewildered; she had never heard of this person before.
Changqing explained from the side.
"That's Fei Yan's boyfriend from school!"
"He's not my boyfriend, he's a liar! He's a liar, trash!" Lu's mother hurriedly corrected, then covered her face and started crying again, "Why am I so unlucky? My daughter is disobedient and gets scammed, and now she's about to enter her senior year of high school, and this happens again!"
Suddenly she turned her head and grabbed Changqing's hand again.
"Changqing, you're so capable, you must help Auntie find Feiyan and bring her home."
Changqing: ......
He really can't control this matter.
"Auntie, you should call the police. What kind of society is this now? Everyone uses their phones and the internet. Calling the police will definitely help you find them."
If you're in trouble, go to the police. Even a child knows that.
To everyone's surprise, when Lu's mother heard that the police had been called, she shook her head repeatedly.
"Don't call the police, don't call the police! Fei Yan's letter said that if we call the police, she...she will jump off a building and commit suicide. She said she's had enough of life at home and wants to pursue her freedom..."
Zhao Xianglian, standing nearby, was completely stunned. She never expected that the obedient and well-behaved girl she usually saw would have such a rebellious side.
Changqing, on the other hand, was not surprised at all.
In the story, Lu Feiyan is quite extreme, but in the story she is targeting the original owner of the body; now, it has nothing to do with him anymore.
He took out his phone, dialed Lu Feiyan's number, and the call went through immediately.
"Feiyan, your mother is looking for you..."
Before he could finish speaking, the other party interrupted him.
"Tell her not to look for me. I'm fine now. Tell her not to call the police. I mean what I say!"
*Smack*
The call ended.
Changqing spread his hands, indicating that he was powerless to help.
"Auntie, I think it's because you guys have been pushing her too hard that things have turned out this way. Sigh, it seems we can only wait for her to come back on her own once she's figured things out."
He also showed Lu's mother some news stories about young couples committing suicide together. Lu's mother's hands trembled and her legs went weak when she left.
"Changqing, you should help persuade Feiyan. She's such a good child. If she doesn't go to school now, what will she be able to do in the future?"
After Lu's mother left, Zhao Xianglian finally came to her senses. She was kind-hearted and hoped that her son could help persuade Lu Feiyan, who had gone astray.
Changqing shook his head.
"Mom, there's a saying online that goes, 'Put aside your desire to help others and respect their fate.' If I advise against it and they don't fare well later, they'll blame me."
Zhao Xianglian was taken aback.
"No, no way."
Changqing stood up. "Lu Feiyan hasn't turned off her phone or disappeared. Her mother can always reach her if she wants to. Even if she blocked her mother, there are still her teachers, classmates, relatives, and even Han Lei's grandparents. Why should we, the neighbors downstairs, worry about her..."
That's true," Zhao Xianglian thought for a moment and nodded.
Changqing's days were easy.
Because he did not "betray" Lu Feiyan, and even said a few "fair words" to her mother, Lu Feiyan was very grateful to him. Even though she had run away on her own, she would occasionally talk to him about the situation.
He always responded to this with "correct nonsense".
It's so easy to spout nonsense that won't offend anyone; he doesn't even need to learn it.
Lu Feiyan: "We rented a house and got away from my suffocating family. For the first time, I felt like I could breathe freely. It was so wonderful."
Changqing: "Life is short, just be happy."
Lu Feiyan: "Brother Changqing, you really understand me so well."
In a while.
Lu Feiyan: "Waaah, I had a fight with Brother Lei today. He complained that my cooking was terrible, saying it was worse than pig slop in the cafeteria. It's so upsetting."
Changqing: "That's life. It's inevitable to have bumps along the way. The key is to be tolerant of each other. Communication is the best way to bridge differences."
Lu Feiyan: .....
One more day.
Lu Feiyan: "We made up. Today, Brother Lei took me to meet his brothers. We drank a lot of alcohol, and everyone was very happy."
Changqing: "Just be happy and enjoy life."
Lu Feiyan: "Brother Changqing, thank you."
After some time had passed.
Lu Feiyan: "We've run out of money. The few thousand yuan that Brother Lei got from his grandparents isn't enough to last long. What should we do, Brother Changqing?"
Changqing: ...He did not reply.
Lu Feiyan: "Brother Changqing, you're the best. Could you lend me some money? I need to pay the rent. Brother Lei asked all his brothers, but he couldn't borrow any."
Changqing refused: "I'm just a student, where would I get the money? You know, my family is a single-parent family, and we're very poor."
Lu Feiyan remained silent.
She borrowed some money from other classmates, which seemed to help her get through the crisis temporarily.
However, it seems that because of money issues, the couple's happiness is slowly eroding, and they are gradually complaining more.
Today people are saying Han Lei's attitude was bad.
Tomorrow he'll complain again that he's not making any money.
A few days later, she said that she was also preparing to go back to work and had found a job at a milk tea shop. However, after working for only one day, she started complaining that she was tired and that the pay was so low that she was treated like a human being and that the job was meaningless.
Changqing: "Women are responsible for being beautiful, and men are responsible for earning money to support the family. You can choose a less tiring option."
Lu Feiyan: "But he can't earn that much money, we're all too young."
Changqing: "Then let's work together to overcome these difficult times."
Lu Feiyan fell silent. Changqing's words were correct, but they made her feel uncomfortable, so she chose to remain silent.
And just like that, the entire summer vacation passed.
Before the start of the school year, Lu's mother shamelessly came to visit again. She hadn't been able to find her daughter all summer, and she looked much more haggard, with dark circles under her eyes and a bit thinner.
"Tell Feiyan that if she's willing to break up with him, go home, and continue her studies, her father and I can let bygones be bygones and won't cause any trouble for that boy..."
Her voice was low, as if squeezed from her throat, clearly indicating that she had made a huge concession.
There are no parents in the world who can go against their children's wishes.
Changqing was also somewhat moved, and he directly dialed Lu Feiyan's number.
“Your mom is here. She said that as long as you break up with your boyfriend, go home, and continue your studies, she will forgive and forget about it,” he relayed directly.
Lu's mother quickly spoke up as well.
"Yanyan, come home. Mom was indeed too strict before, but you have to believe that Mom did it all for your own good. Now, as long as you come back, we can let bygones be bygones, okay? You should go to school and focus on your studies. You're going to be a senior in high school soon, so you can't let it fall behind."
Changqing thought Lu Feiyan would refuse righteously, but to his surprise, she hesitated on the other end of the phone.
But soon he realized that Lu Feiyan had eloped in the last month of the semester, and with the summer vacation, she had long since spent all her money. She had found a job and worked for a few days, which gave her a taste of the hardships of life.
So he went along with it and started persuading her, saying it was easy to give her a way out.
"Feiyan, your aunt has been very worried about you these past two months. She's lost a lot of weight. Why don't you go home and see her?"
"I..." Lu Feiyan was still hesitating when Changqing interrupted her, "Just tell me where you are, your mom will come pick you up."
Lu Feiyan remained silent, but Changqing had lost patience.
"Fine, if you don't want to go home, then forget it. I'm hanging up."
"I live at No. 12, Nanxin Road, North District of Yongcheng Road!"
Lu Feiyan eagerly gave the address.
