Chapter 42
Yu Aiai suddenly realized that she had let something slip, and her face flushed red: "You...you lied to me!"
Chen He said with a teasing look in his eyes: "What are you afraid of? I'm not a policeman."
"Are you recording?" Yu Aiai snatched the phone that Chen He had placed on the table, turned it over and saw that it was not in recording mode.
"Look how scared you are." Chen He suddenly bent over with laughter.
Yu Aiai looked at her with strange eyes, not knowing what she was up to.
Chen He made a soothing gesture towards her: "Don't worry, I won't report you. Have you forgotten how Qiu Yue treated me? How could I report you for someone like her?"
Yu Ai Ai calmed down a bit, threw Chen He's phone back in dismay, and said angrily, "You scared me to death!"
Chen He turned on the electric kettle on the table and brewed a pot of rose tea. The atmosphere became relaxed in the faint fragrance.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm just curious. What's our relationship? What's the relationship between her and me? Isn't that right?"
She brought a cup of light red tea to Yu Aiai.
"That's right." Yu Aiai took the glass, a look of disdain on her face. "You thought she was your friend. You're really blind. Can't you see that she's a slut?"
Chen He's expression remained unchanged, the smile sewn onto her face like it was stitched on: "I really didn't notice."
"You're just too simple-minded." Yu Aiai's tone was mocking, yet also intimate, "Did you know that Qiu Yue was actually being kept by someone before she came to the Zangmo base?"
Chen He raised his eyebrows in surprise: "No way?"
"Think about it, the tuition at our base is so expensive. Qiu Yue's father doesn't love her, her mother doesn't care for her, and her brother is dead. How can her parents possibly pay for her tuition? Where will the money come from? She's just a little girl. How else can she get the money besides selling herself?"
Chen He hid her hands under the table, her nails digging into her palms. Her face remained expressionless as she said, "Could it be a relative's financial support?"
"Come on, who's so kind as to give money to someone else's child these days? And, you know she had heart surgery, right?"
"Know."
"That's also the money paid by the rich man who supports her!"
"What rich man? Where are you from? What do you do? What's your name?"
“Who knows?”
"You don't even know the name, how can you be so sure?"
"At that time, all the students in our base were spreading the news. Who didn't know about it?"
It's you guys who made up the rumors, Chen He thought silently. She knew that Yu Aiai was being particularly gossipy today because she was tricked into giving false testimony, and in order to justify her actions, she was desperately trying to smear Qiu Yue.
Chen He had no idea who paid for Qiu Yue's tuition and surgery. When they were close, Qiu Yue never mentioned it.
But she believed Qiu Yue was definitely not that kind of person. Perhaps it was funded by relatives, or perhaps it was donated by kind people, but it couldn't be what Yu Aiai said.
Yu Aiai looked at her disrespectfully: "Why are you still speaking up for her? Have you forgotten how she treated you?"
Of course Chen He remembered.
It was hard to say when Qiu Yue started to distance herself from him. Whenever Chen He asked her to go to the cafeteria or play together, she would always find excuses to refuse.
Later one day, in the classroom, Chen He found Xu Candong pushing Qiu Yue into the corner, grinning and talking about something.
This boy had often harassed Qiu Yue before, so Chen He naturally felt that he was making things difficult for her again, so she stepped forward and tried to pull Qiu Yue away.
Qiu Yue suddenly exploded, shook off her hand, and threw the paint palette onto Chen He's skirt. Chen He was not color blind at that time, but she found the vibrant colors shocking.
——"You can't stand me having fun with boys, right? You're just jealous of me!"
——"Are you trying to steal my man? Shame on you!"
Five years later, Qiu Yue's words still pierced her ears like a knife. Then, with a "bang", Qiu Yue smashed something at her feet.
Chen He lowered her head, identifying the fragments. The little princess sitting on the moon. It was a cheap little trinket she had given Qiu Yue as a birthday present not long ago.
At that moment, she felt that her sincerity was less valuable than this ornament.
She turned and left without looking back, not knowing what expression Qiu Yue had behind her.
Later... she didn't know how much she regretted not looking back.
If you look back, you will definitely see something.
Over the past few years, she'd dreamt of that moment countless times, looking back in her dreams. But Qiu Yue's face was blurry, and she couldn't see clearly...
"There's more to it than that."
The sarcastic tone brought Chen He back from his memories.
I raised my eyes and saw that Yu Aiai had a mean look on her lips.
"Qiu Yue is a green tea bitch. She's being kept by someone but she's still not honest. She pretends to be innocent all day to seduce boys. Xu Candong and... are all bewitched by her." Yu Aiai's tone was full of jealousy.
Chen He's pupils jumped. Who was Xu Candong and?
The names of the boys flashed through her mind again, but she couldn't remember anyone else who had clearly expressed a fondness for Qiu Yue.
Chen He took a sip of rose tea, calmed himself down, and quickly wove a trap to catch his prey in his mind.
She spoke with a smile, as if she was just chatting about school gossip: "These boys bullied her a lot."
Yu Aiai curled her lips and said, "What do you know? If a boy bullies a girl, it's because he likes her and is being naughty to attract her attention. If a boy is not bad, girls will not love him."
Chen He nearly choked on her tea. She coughed a few times, "So you like men who are wicked."
"What are you talking about!" Yu Aiai pulled the ends of her wavy hair and said coquettishly.
Chen He held back her anger. She took a sip of tea to calm it down, then casually asked, "If you like him so much, why did you help him ask Qiu Yue out that night?"
"I..." Yu Aiai pouted in grievance, her tone bitter and bitter, "I know he was just playing with her and wouldn't take her seriously. He insisted that I help him, and I couldn't bear to refuse. Love is about fulfilling everything."
Chen He held her breath. Yu Aiai didn't deny it.
The person who took Qiu Yue away that night was the one Yu Aiai still misses.
Chen He was filled with murderous intent. In order to please the man, she even sent other girls as sacrifices.
But who is this person?
