Chapter 41
As soon as she entered the school, groups of students followed her, all of them very excited. She was a little curious, "Why are you following me?"
"Teacher Xia, your boyfriend is so handsome."
Xia Weining: ???
"Teacher Xia, it turns out that your boyfriend is Uncle Sheng Xuan. I have met him before."
"No, don't talk nonsense."
"We all saw it. When are you getting married?"
"Will we be invited to the wedding? Will there be wedding candy?"
…
Xia Weining's expression gradually became ferocious until she was stunned. Who will save her?
Her silence was deafening, and they made things that were completely unrelated seem very real.
Xia Weining has always witnessed the speed at which rumors spread and the harm they can cause.
After finally getting past the students, the teacher in the office still didn't let her go.
"Teacher Xia, I heard that you went shopping with your boyfriend yesterday. I haven't heard you mention it before."
"No, he's not my boyfriend."
"Don't be shy, we all understand."
Xia Weining: ...
Is this a shameful thing?
Tan Ya came over humming a little tune, and seemed to be in a good mood. She looked Xia Weining up and down, "I was so reluctant to introduce you to each other before, but it turns out you've known each other for a long time."
"What are you talking about? Sheng Huaizhou and I are just ordinary friends. He said he wanted to buy something for his sister's daughter and asked me to help choose."
Tanya laughed when she heard this. "She only has me as her sister. I don't have any daughters."
Xia Weining narrowed his eyes slightly, and a raging fire burst out of them. At this moment, he was ready to fight, and he even wanted to beat Sheng Huaizhou to death.
"He lied to me."
"This is a hobby between young lovers."
Xia Weining: ...
She was really tired. These people seemed to not understand what she was saying, and she had lost the strength to argue.
All of this is the fault of the instigator Sheng Huaizhou.
He angrily opened his phone, found his QQ, and sent several bombshell messages in a row.
[Sheng Huaizhou, you lied to me.]
When he saw the message, his face was full of question marks: [What did I lie to you about?]
[You deliberately asked me to accompany you to the two-dollar store.]
[Now everyone misunderstands the relationship between you and me.]
Sheng Huaizhou looked at the words on the phone and felt a sense of despicable pride in his heart. The smile on the corner of his mouth was difficult to suppress, and he had to pretend to reply to the message.
[It's just a misunderstanding, I'm also a victim.]
"You are still the victim?" Xia Weining snorted coldly. She had never seen anyone with such a thick skin.
[Didn’t you say you were buying something for your sister’s daughter? When did Tanya have a daughter?]
After his lie was exposed, Sheng Huaizhou felt a little guilty but not panicked. He calmly thought about his reply and was suddenly called by his leader.
This news never came to light.
Xia Weining waited for a long time but didn't receive a reply. She couldn't believe her eyes. This guy lied to her and dared to turn his back on her.
I felt very uncomfortable and had no idea what he meant. The more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable and aggrieved I felt.
Xia Weining stared at her phone angrily. If Sheng Huaizhou was in front of her now, she would tear him apart without hesitation.
She was prone to overthinking, especially in this situation. All sorts of speculations ran through her mind, slowly evolving into whether he wanted to ignore her. Even the faint sense that she was special was instantly shattered.
"What are you thinking about? Now you've been slapped in the face. Isn't it embarrassing?"
She was blaming herself again.
A feeling of sadness filled my heart.
The chaotic emotions were like an invisible giant hand, tightly binding her neck, slowly loosening its grip, and her breathing gradually became thinner.
She had to escape from this suffocating feeling.
I raised my hand and deleted his QQ.
She wanted to draw a clear line between herself and him completely, and there would be nothing between them in the future.
This is also Xia Weining. When she encounters something embarrassing, she will not ask or make a fuss. She will just choose to turn around and leave resolutely, leaving both of them with some dignity.
After dealing with all this, her consciousness went into a state of inexplicable emptiness. Her eyes had no focus and could not take in anything. Her brain was blank and she was too lazy to think about anything.
This pattern lasted for a while until the bell rang for the end of get out of class. She suddenly woke up and her consciousness returned to normal.
After this adjustment, I feel much better.
Zhou Renting came back from get out of class and stopped when he passed her. He smiled unnaturally and said, "I heard you have a boyfriend?"
"Um??"
"That's Officer Sheng I met last time, right?"
"No." Xia Weining responded directly, and it was so crisp and clear, "I don't have a boyfriend, and I don't plan to find one at the moment."
"Oh, I see."
"If it was him, I don't think I lost unfairly."
Xia Weining: ???
"Uh..." She had never thought she would encounter such an embarrassing situation. It was really hard for her to respond, so she could only laugh awkwardly a few times, "Haha, you misunderstood."
"Okay then." Zhou Renting said generously, "If there's anything good, please tell me. I'll bless you."
"Thanks."
Xia Weining hugged herself and shivered, feeling goose bumps all over her body.
What kind of play is this being performed for her?
With a few minutes left before class, she fled the office with her books and went to the classroom early.
The students who were playing outside immediately calmed down when they saw her and went into the classroom to sit down obediently.
"It's okay. It's not time for class yet. You can go out and play."
That being said, no one dared to move.
Fortunately, the bell rang soon and she began her lecture.
After this class, she had no classes in the afternoon, so she went home to see her grandmother. Her grandmother had been back from the hospital a few days ago, but she had not had time to see her.
I bought some supplements at the supermarket and just as I entered the house, I heard voices coming from inside the house.
Relatives from home came to visit grandma.
She stood at the door hesitating for a long time, finally pushed it open and walked in with a smile.
"grandmother."
"Girl, come here quickly." Grandma waved at her, "I'm so busy, why do I need you to come and see me?"
“That’s what should be done.”
Grandma took her hand and introduced her to everyone, "This time, it's all thanks to this child. He paid for it, contacted the hospital, and took care of me in the hospital. This is the only way to care about your own child."
"What a nice guy."
"You are lucky that people treat you so well."
The relatives around praised him one after another, but Xia Weining just smiled faintly.
Grandma held her hand and kept saying, "Yes, this is my blessing."
"So, don't think too much. No matter what happens, the disease is cured and you won't have to suffer in the future."
Xia Weining recognized the person who was talking. She was her grandmother's sister, and she should call her aunt.
"Okay, don't let your imagination run wild."
"Look at how filial Weiguo and Caimei are. What else can you be dissatisfied with in the future?"
"No more." Grandma wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her dry hands, "I am content."
"Relax, eat and drink as you please. Your children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Don't worry too much."
This is actually what everyone wants to say to grandma, but she certainly can't do it because she always wants to give everything for her children.
Xia Weining stayed here for the whole afternoon and left only after dinner.
Sheng Huaizhou took on a case and worked until very late. Suddenly he remembered that he seemed to have not replied to Xia Weining yet. He felt something was wrong and hoped that she was not angry.
I quickly found her QQ and wanted to send a message but saw the message: [Message sending failed].
He sent several more messages in a row, all with the same prompt. When he clicked on her nickname again, the prompt changed to: [The other party is not your friend yet].
Only then did he realize that Xia Weining had deleted him.
This is really angry.
He was a little annoyed, wondering how things could turn out like this.
He sat dejectedly on the chair, his body leaning heavily against the back.
It was already early morning when he returned to the community. He did not disturb her, thinking that they would talk about it early the next morning so that their schedules would not overlap. This mistake lasted for many days.
Xia Weining is now devoted to her family and work. She has even started looking for a new place to live. She wants to move away from that place.
That day, as soon as I entered the school, I was notified to go to the conference room for a meeting.
Xia Weining didn't know what was going on and followed behind in confusion. Several teachers were whispering, but she didn't want to ask because she would know soon anyway.
"Hurry up, teachers at the back." The principal urged seriously. After all the teachers were present, he said, "I believe everyone knows that a major murder occurred in our county yesterday, and the murderer is on the run."
"ah……"
The teachers who already knew about this did not have any strong reaction, but many people who were unaware of the situation, including Xia Weining, gasped.
I really can't believe this happened.
"What's going on?" she asked the teacher beside her.
"I heard that a man killed his wife and her family, then ran into people going to the morning market and killed two more people on the street."
After hearing this, Xia Weining's hair stood on end and he felt numb all over.
A crazy battle began in her mind, and she recalled her previous experiences. This kind of thing had happened before, and even the special police came, but the time didn't match. One time was in the summer, and she remembered it very clearly because the corn grew very tall at that time. The man lived in the cornfield for a long time and was finally discovered by a group of people doing farm work. During the chase, he was tripped by an iron pitchfork on the ground and was caught.
During that period, students left school early, and every household closed their doors before dark to prevent strangers from entering. Few people went out for a stroll, and everyone was very nervous.
"Let's not discuss this anymore."
The principal's voice interrupted her thoughts.
"Now, let me tell you about the arrangements. The police will increase security nearby. The school has recently canceled evening self-study classes. Boarding students will be arranged by the school. Each class will compile a list of day students. After class, we must ensure that students get home safely and are not allowed to linger outside. We will ensure the safety of students and remember not to spread panic among the students."
"receive."
All class teachers hurried back to the classroom to count the students in the class and conduct safety education lectures.
Xia Weining finished her work and rushed to the bookstore. Zhou Weiguo was moving things in. "Why did you come here when it's so dangerous?"
"I came to see what's going on here." Xia Weining helped carry a few stacks of books in. "The situation has been quite urgent these days. I'll close the store first and you all go home."
"That's what we planned too. We'll go home after picking up Xia Li."
Xia Weining pursed her lips and nodded, "Then I'm relieved. It's best if you can pick Xia Li up from school."
"Don't worry, I'll pick you up every day."
"good."
Zhou Weiguo's eyes were filled with worry. "What are you going to do? Come back with us?"
"No need, I can protect myself, and I live in a police family compound, so I should be safe."
"But you're alone."
"It's okay, as long as you're all well." Xia Weining was afraid that he would be worried, so she added, "I'll call you if anything happens."
"Then I won't force you." Xia Weiguo sighed, "You can come to our place anytime. The room is ready for you."
"Um."
Xia Weining looked at the faces of her family members, read through the books in the room, and found a peaceful haven in her heart.
This sudden change disrupted her moving plans, so she had to live here for the time being.
However, she hadn't seen Sheng Huaizhou for a long time, and they should be the busiest ones now.
Xia Weining went to school as usual every day and hurried back home after class. Xia Weiguo bought her a small motorcycle, but she didn't know how to ride it, so she could only choose a bicycle to get around, which was a little faster.
Her own analysis was that the murderer would not be hiding in the county town, but should be hiding in some remote place. However, the crops in the fields could not hide people now, so it could not be ruled out that he would take the risk and continue to hide in the county town.
Xia Weining sighed heavily. She thought it would be better to leave this matter to the police. Saving her own life was more important to her. Although she believed that her boxing skills could be used for self-protection, she didn't want to encounter such a thing. Facing such a person, she felt nothing but fear.
