42. Don’t worry, she knows
"Xiao Cheng, when did you start hooking up with Chen Yang?"
After Xu Wenqiang came to her senses, she realized that she had missed this question.
"What do you mean by hooking up?" Xiao Cheng said with disgust, "Please be mindful of your wording."
"It's more or less the same." Xu Wenqiang was unconcerned. "Is Yu Yong so difficult to deal with now? In the past, Chen Yang could have beaten him black and blue on his own, but now he needs the two of you to work together?"
"In cahoots?" Xiao Cheng glanced at Xu Wenqiang. "How did you learn Chinese?"
"I learned it from my Chinese teacher." Xu Wenqiang said as a matter of course, and then continued to ask, "Why did you and Chen Yang--"
Because Xiao Cheng kept picking on her, Xu Wenqiang was at a loss for words.
Xiao Cheng glanced at the frustrated Xu Wenqiang, rode beside her, raised his hand and flicked her forehead, "I'll vent this anger on behalf of the Chinese teacher first."
Xu Wenqiang rubbed her forehead unconvinced, "This is corporal punishment. I'm going to sue you at the Education Bureau."
"Do you have any evidence?" Xiao Cheng asked provocatively.
Xu Wenqiang extended her index finger and pointed to the night sky with great righteousness, "Heaven and earth are my witnesses, the sun and the moon are my mirrors."
Xiao Cheng kindly reminded her, "Xu Wenqiang, this isn't how you use it."
Xu Wenqiang's fingers slowly curled up, and then her arms. "It's so late, the heaven and earth, the sun and the moon should all be asleep. I'd better not disturb them."
Xiao Cheng felt that if he held it in any longer, something bad would happen, so he laughed heartily without any hesitation.
"It's been so many years since 'My Fair Princess' ended, but Xiaoyanzi's misusing of idioms is still so endearing. No wonder Aunt Qiong Yao is still so popular."
Xu Wenqiang didn't think she was comparable to Xiaoyanzi. When Xiaoyanzi used an idiom incorrectly, it was innocent and cute. But when she used an idiom incorrectly, it was embarrassing.
"Xiao Cheng, you can laugh, but don't use me to insult the classics. Also, after you finish laughing, tell me what's going on."
"knew."
Xiao Cheng agreed, carefully put away the smile on his face, left some of it in his eyes, and then told Xu Wenqiang how he and Chen Yang dealt with Yu Yong's matter.
Xu Wenqiang listened carefully, and from time to time tilted her head to look at Xiao Cheng who was walking side by side with her.
Then, she became distracted.
On the still deserted streets, beneath the dim streetlights and in the mottled shadows of the trees, she and Xiao Cheng rode their bicycles, walking from one streetlight to the next, from one tree shadow to the next. Their scattered words fell on the deserted streets, becoming a tiny echo in the long night.
Xu Wenqiang had a few questions she hadn't thought of asking Xiao Cheng, such as "When did I get you into this?" and "Why do you always meddle in other people's business?"
But after a while, she forgot about these questions. Or maybe she was just too lazy to ask.
In the past, she was not so forgetful and lazy. She would ask in detail, Xiao Cheng, why are you helping me?
Every time she asked a sincere question, Xiao Cheng would give a decent answer. For example, we should help each other; or, I was asked by someone else...
These answers all sound reasonable, but they lack sincerity because Xiao Cheng has completely cleared himself of any blame.
So Xu Wenqiang didn't ask any more questions.
Anyway, sometimes people say everything to each other and then have nothing to say when they meet again. But if they keep their thoughts to themselves without saying anything, they can still greet each other with a smile as if nothing happened when they meet.
By the time Xiao Cheng finished explaining the whole story, they were almost at the Internet cafe.
"Xu Wenqiang, have you figured out how to seek justice?" Xiao Cheng asked.
Only then did Xu Wenqiang remember this matter.
That night, Yu Yong touched her several times and nibbled her several times, which was embarrassing and disgusting. But when she shamelessly hugged Xiao Cheng, she thought that everything that happened that night was over for her.
She didn't want to keep making things difficult for herself. Whether it was disgusting or embarrassing, it was all in the past. There was no need to cling to it. And the most important thing was to take good care of herself and protect herself from now on.
So, when Xiao Cheng asked her to seek justice, she didn't have any thoughts at first. But thinking about how Xiao Cheng and Chen Yang had "hooked up" and "colluded" for her, and how hard it had been, she tried hard to express her attitude.
"I'll kick him twice and slap him twice in the face first."
"that's all?"
But Xiao Cheng felt that Xu Wenqiang's reaction was a little bland.
Are you thinking you're not active enough?
Xu Wenqiang calmed down and said it again in a vicious voice, "I kicked him twice and slapped him a few times."
Xiao Cheng still felt that Xu Wenqiang's reaction was a little lacking, but he didn't say anything more.
Because they arrived.
"Here!" Chen Yang leaned against the wall and waved at them.
There is a narrow path next to the Internet cafe, with all kinds of debris and garbage piled up on the roadside.
In a pile of debris and garbage, Yu Yong sat on the ground with a bruised face and nose, gasping for breath.
"I'm sorry, but I got so angry when I saw this bastard that I attacked you before you could. You guys can handle the rest on your own."
Chen Yang glanced at Xu Wenqiang. Xu Wenqiang just stared at Yu Yong motionlessly, as if she didn't hear what he said.
Seeing Xu Wenqiang, Yu Yong struggled to sit up straight, grinning and saying, "Xu Wenqiang is here too, how are you going to deal with me? We had physical contact——"
"I think you haven't been beaten enough!" Chen Yang blocked Yu Yong's stinky mouth with his fist.
"Chen Yang, it's okay." Xiao Cheng stepped forward to pull Chen Yang away, then looked at Xu Wenqiang.
Xu Wenqiang has been too quiet since she saw Yu Yong, which is a bit strange.
"Xu Wenqiang..."
"I know. It's my turn."
Xu Wenqiang's voice was calm and a little scary.
Even Chen Yang noticed Xu Wenqiang's abnormality and looked at Xiao Cheng, "She..."
Xiao Cheng stared at Xu Wenqiang, who ignored Xiao Cheng.
Xu Wenqiang put down her schoolbag, unzipped it, rummaged inside, and took out a knife. She had kept this knife in her schoolbag for a long time.
Under the colorful neon lights of the Internet cafe, the sharp blade gleams with a metallic luster.
Xiao Cheng, Chen Yang, and Yu Yong all changed their expressions.
"Xu Wenqiang, let me tell you, I know a lot of big brothers in society." Yu Yong frantically tried to get up from the ground, but he had been beaten so hard by Chen Yang that he was completely exhausted. Every time he tried to get up, he would fall to the ground. "Xu Wenqiang, let's talk it over. Put the knife away first. I only touched you a few times. Do you really want to go to jail?"
Xu Wenqiang ignored him and walked towards Yu Yong with a knife.
"Xu Wenqiang, put down the knife." Chen Yang was also anxious. "You can teach this bastard any lesson you want, but you can't use a knife."
Xu Wenqiang glanced at Chen Yang and shook the knife in his hand, "What, are you scared?" Then he continued walking towards Yu Yong.
Seeing that Xu Wenqiang didn't listen to him, Chen Yang turned around and yelled at Xiao Cheng, "Are you just going to watch and do nothing?"
Xiao Cheng just stared at Xu Wenqiang and said, "Don't worry about it, she knows what's going on."
"What can she count? She's just a stupid girl who doesn't know how to live or die." Chen Yang was frantic and was about to rush forward, but Xiao Cheng said coldly behind him, "Chen Yang, even if she doesn't know how to live or die, why do you care about her?"
Xiao Cheng's words nailed Chen Yang to the spot.
Xu Wenqiang squatted in front of Yu Yong with a knife in her hand.
Before she met Yu Yong, she hadn't even had the heart to kick or slap him. But when she saw Yu Yong, she realized that the embarrassment and disgust that had been put behind her had returned with a vengeance, pushing her to the brink of despair.
She was going to chop him.
Xu Wenqiang put the knife to Yu Yong's neck, "Yu Yong, didn't you not believe that I was holding a knife that night? Now, do you see clearly?"
"I, I saw it clearly." Yu Yong said tremblingly.
"Is it a knife?" Xu Wenqiang asked.
"It's a knife, it's a knife, it's a knife." Yu Yong answered hurriedly.
"Yu Yong, I don't want to go to jail, but I'm not afraid of going to jail." Xu Wenqiang used some force on her hand and put the knife against Yu Yong's neck.
The cold touch of the blade made Yu Yong scream.
"Yu Yong, listen carefully. Whether it's you, one of your big brothers, or some other immortal, if you still want to cause trouble for me, want to touch me, want to bite me, I won't run away or hide. I will wait for you. Waiting to chop you down."
After Xu Wenqiang finished speaking, she raised the knife and stabbed it towards Yu Yong's crotch.
"Ah--" Yu Yong's scream pierced the night sky.
However, the imagined pain, worse than death, did not occur. Yu Yong opened his eyes, looked at the sharp knife less than five centimeters away from his vitals, and burst into tears.
