Chapter 15 Fu Ying
In front of the window with red paint edges, the afterglow of the setting sun shines through, and the slanting rays of light climb over the eaves, enveloping the sparse dust in the air, making it leap and tumble.
An old man in the yard was fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan, sipping tea from time to time while humming the well-known "The East is Red".
Smoke rose from the roof not far away. The mother and son were laughing and cursing, accompanied by the rhythmic sound of kitchen knives knocking against each other.
The two people sitting on the edge of the bed in the bedroom were silent for a while, and the atmosphere was a bit weird.
Fu Ying glanced at the person who was distracted after asking that question, clasped his palms blankly, and kept brainstorming: Why did Sister Ningning ask that?
For the sake of her mother's heart, she dressed like a delicate lady to please her. In her heart, she always felt that she should be a tomboy, and short hair, work clothes and overalls would suit her.
So, when she is not under the supervision of adults, she can really let herself go, and naturally makes good friends at school!
Being asked this question suddenly, I don't know how to answer it.
After all, well... the embarrassing thing is that there are generally not many female classmates who are close to her, but there are a lot of male classmates who are good friends with her.
"Hey~ Sister Ningning, who are you asking about? Did you hear someone say something, or what happened? Just tell me directly!"
"Um?"
Suddenly thinking of Fu Ying, who looked different at home and outside, Su Ning could only change the way he asked, "What I want to ask is, have you seen anyone around you with strange behavior or expression recently?"
The Fu siblings, who are two years younger than her, grew up following her like two little tails because of the older generation.
Just as the Fu family never treated her as an outsider, she also treated Fu Ying and Fu Ting as her own sister and brother from the bottom of her heart.
Thinking of this, Su Ning still couldn't believe the future she had just seen.
Taking the initiative to hold her hand that was hanging on her leg, Wen Ning tried to "foresee" for the second time on the same person.
[There are only dim lights on the streets at night, and only a few pedestrians are walking hurriedly.
“Huh…huh…”
A burst of rapid panting sound came closer along with heavy footsteps.
Fu Ying was sweating profusely and her pigtails were loose, with fear on her face and eyes. The blood was flowing down through the fingers of her hands that were covering her abdomen because of the violent movement.
The brown-red blood that kept dripping onto the ground was shocking.
"Help...Help...Woo woo~"
The person chasing him covered his mouth and dragged him into the long darkness behind him again.
Those eyes that were once as bright and blazing as the rising sun gradually dimmed...】
"Yingying!"
"I'm here, I'm here!"
Her eyes, filled with fear and infinite sorrow, made me feel suffocated and painful in my chest.
Fu Ying didn't care about her frightened heart that was about to go on strike. She held her hand tightly and shook it hard, "Sister Ningning, don't scare me. I'm here. What's wrong with you?"
"Yingying, tell me, is there such a person? You must think about it carefully!"
"Okay, I want it, I want it now!"
Sixteen-year-old Fu Ying, although her problem of judging her appearance is more serious than when she was a child, is a generous person. Not only is she pretty, but her personality is also casual and free-spirited.
Why would Yingying, such a good girl, be treated so hurtfully?
More than 70 stab wounds, she was tortured to death. How desperate she must have been at that time, how painful it must have been...
"Sister Ningning, please don't cry. You know I'm most afraid of beautiful people crying since I was a child!"
Looking at her red eyes, even the corners of her eyes were changing color, Fu Ying was panicking. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he suddenly thought of the person he had bumped into by chance for two consecutive days.
“Pah~”
Fu Ying slapped her legs hard and shouted, "I remember now, Sister Ningning!"
"Who? Where? When?"
"That person was wearing our school uniform, but I didn't recognize him. He looked very unfamiliar."
It wasn't that he was talking nonsense just to comfort her, Fu Ying really did think of such a person.
All the men and women who have been friends with her since childhood have one thing in common: they are all good-looking!
I am naturally defenseless against beautiful people, and my tolerance and favorability towards them are rising rapidly.
Only this person...
He is good-looking but she can't feel any affection for him. She doesn't know how to describe it. Anyway, it's just like Sister Ningning said, weird!
Especially the way he looked at me, so sinister and cold...
"Has Uncle Fu been involved in any cases recently? Will you be back today?"
When it comes to revenge and vendetta, the first person that comes to Suning’s mind is Fu Xinguo, who has a special nature of job.
No matter how big the grudges and hatreds between classmates are, they can just be resolved by a fight. Very few of them can develop to the point of resorting to knives.
"Dad has been very busy lately. I heard him mention that he solved a big case. I don't think he will be home today."
Fu Ying answered every question. She lifted her braid in front of her with two fingers and threw it behind her, her face full of confusion. "Sister Ningning, are you looking for my dad?"
Nodded and shook his head.
Putting away the complicated expression on his face, Su Ning suddenly changed the subject, "Yingying, are you guys also going to have your summer vacation this week?"
"Yeah, we'll be free for two months after this Friday!"
"Come home with me and stay for a few days?"
"Ah? Is it okay?"
The topic jumped a lot, but it did not reduce Fu Ying's excitement at all.
——Oh, eating and living with Sister Ning! It’s still a few days, so happy!
"What's wrong with that? I'll go talk to Aunt and Grandpa Fu."
"Yeah! I'm going!"
"Where are you going, you wild girl?"
Li Hehua pushed open the door, wiped her hands on her apron, and habitually scolded her daughter before looking at her dream daughter with satisfaction and said in a soft voice.
"Ningning, it's time to eat. Let's go and try to see if Auntie's cooking skills have deteriorated."
"It goes without saying that Auntie's cooking skills are so good. Just by smelling it, you can tell it's so delicious!"
"Haha, our Ningning is still good at talking. Auntie stewed some medicinal chicken for you. You have to eat more later!"
“…”
The two people, who looked like real mother and daughter, walked out the door hand in hand. Fu Ying, who was left behind in the room again, gritted her teeth.
Before he could even finish his complaints, he saw the scene that he was so familiar with—
A slender hand with distinct joints, a hand with thin calluses on the fingertips but which always gives people a sense of security and strength, is placed behind the back, stretched out towards oneself, and gently shaken.
The man who could hang the oil bottle with his pouting mouth immediately opened up, jumped up happily, and grabbed both hands at the same time.
"Still as easy to coax as when I was a kid!"
"No, you heartless girl!"
After exchanging a smile with Aunt Hehua, Su Ning held her hand and said: Yingying, Sister Ningning will definitely protect you.
So that you can grow up heartlessly...
