The evening self-study class was almost over, and the boy sitting in the row in front of Gao Shukai turned around and asked quietly, "Brother Kai, did you make an appointment with that person?"
Gao Shukai glanced at Lin Dan nervously and said, "No, I'll go ask after school."
"Why haven't you asked yet? You used to be so domineering, but now you're becoming more and more nagging. You're just asking her if you can go out to play at night. What's there to be embarrassed about? She's an orphan, she should be free, and it doesn't matter if she goes back after midnight. We're her classmates, we see each other every day, are you afraid that we'll hurt her? Go and ask her out, I guarantee she'll agree."
Gao Shukai waved his hands impatiently: "I know, stop talking nonsense."
"Brother Kai, you are too fickle. You liked Ai Yu a few days ago, but now you have fallen in love with Lin Dan. Aren't you afraid that Ai Yu will be sad?" the boy said with a wink.
Gao Shukai immediately quit and retorted hastily: "Who said I like Ai Yu? I have nothing to do with her!" He glanced at Lin Dan quickly, his expression even more nervous than before. Who spread these words? Have you ever heard of Lin Dan? Damn these big mouths!
The boy laughed and looked as if he understood everything.
Ai Yu raised her head from her textbook and said in a very bad tone: "Can you speak a little more quietly? I'm not deaf, I can hear you! If you don't like it, then don't like it, who cares? Gao Shukai, if it weren't for the money your parents gave me, do you think I like being with you? If you have the guts, don't come to me for help when you're in danger!"
Gao Shukai was originally a bit arrogant, and now he was annoyed. He sneered and said, "You took my family's money, and it is your job to protect me. I don't need to beg you. If you have the ability, you can return my family's money."
"Give it back if you want. I'm quitting!" Ai Yu slammed the book heavily on the desk, attracting everyone to look at her.
Zhou Nan turned around and looked at Ai Yu carefully, his eyes somewhat complicated. She has lost a lot of weight recently, her cheeks are sunken, her eyes are bloodshot, and she looks very haggard. She had more and more secrets, but she would never share them with herself again.
Thinking of this, Zhou Nan shook his head with a gloomy expression. Just at this moment, the bell rang and the students couldn't wait to pack up their desks and bags.
"Lin Dan, do you want to go to the supermarket to buy something?" Gao Shukai hurriedly called out to Lin Dan who was about to step out of the classroom.
"No. What's wrong? Are you okay?" Lin Dan turned around and asked.
Gao Shukai looked at her eagerly, his expression somewhat eager, but he waved his hand pretending to be relaxed, "I'm fine. I just want to say that the house you rent is too old, and there are dark alleys all around. It's not safe for two girls to walk at night. If you want to go to the supermarket, I can actually take you there."
"Thank you, but no thanks. I'm safer than you." Lin Dan nodded and left with Yu Yeying.
Gao Shukai chased after him for two steps, but finally stopped where he was, his eyes wet, like an abandoned puppy.
Lin Dan turned around to look at him, curled the corners of her mouth and gave him a smile. His dim eyes immediately brightened up, as if he had ascended from hell to heaven in an instant.
Fang Yi had been waiting at the classroom door. When she saw Lin Dan coming out, she hurriedly took small steps to greet him. Her smile was timid but very bright. "Lin Dan, do you want some water?" She handed over the bottle of mineral water she had just bought.
Before Lin Dan could answer, Yu Yeying took the bottle and said with a smile, "I'm thirsty. Thank you, Xiaoyi!"
"You're welcome." Fang Yi shook her head shyly, and then followed Lin Dan like a little tail. Yu Yeying was almost pushed away by her, and her face suddenly turned ugly. The two of them fell behind a few steps and spoke in low voices:
"You want to snatch Lin Dan from me?"
"So what? Don't think I don't know. In fact, you have been using me all along. You kept trying to trick me into killing Ma Rui. I don't have a friend like you."
"Do you think I want to be friends with you? My only friend is Lin Dan!"
"Me too."
The two of them stared at each other, neither of them giving in. When they noticed Lin Dan turned around and looked at them, they both smiled innocently and cutely.
Lin Dan's five senses are far superior to those of ordinary people. How could he not hear the conversation between the two? They appear pure on the outside, but dark on the inside. But so what? It doesn't matter whether she takes care of one child or two. She can't just drive them away and then watch them make another big mistake, right? You have to control the Gu you raise yourself and not let it outside to harm others.
Lin Dan sighed silently and urged, "Can you two walk faster?"
"Okay!" Yu Yeying and Fang Yi agreed in unison, then ran over and put their arms around her, one on the left and one on the right.
Fang Yi's parents had already been waiting at the roadside to pick up their daughter from school. Ever since that incident, they no longer dared to let their daughter go home alone, for fear that she would encounter danger again. If studying was not their daughter's only way out, they would never let her step into school again. Seeing their daughter walking out hand in hand with two other girls, affectionately and affectionately, with carefree smiles on their faces, their noses were sore and they almost cried.
"Xiaoyi, here!" Fang's mother waved her arms and shouted. When the three of them approached, she took out an insulated box from the car and handed it to Lin Dan: "Dandan, this is the ginseng soup that Auntie made. You and Ye Ying are too thin. Take it back to replenish your body."
"Thank you, Auntie. I will wash the incubator and return it to Xiaoyi tomorrow." Lin Dan thanked her politely and reminded her, "Uncle and Auntie, be careful on the road and drive slowly. Xiaoyi, see you tomorrow."
"Okay, see you tomorrow!" Fang Yi was reluctant to leave, but she was happy because of Lin Dan's words. She likes school because Lin Dan is there.
Watching the two little girls walk into the crowd and disappear around the corner, Fang's mother sighed, "These two children are so good. It's not easy."
"Lin Dan is the best." Fang Yi corrected immediately.
"Okay, okay, Lin Dan is the best." Fang's mother happily stuffed her daughter into the back seat.
As Mr. Fang started the car, he said, "The kid had his limbs amputated and his brain is still a little abnormal. I went to the hospital to see him today, and his parents were crying very sadly." He was clearly describing a tragic event, but for some reason, he actually chuckled with joy.
Fang's mother immediately knew who the boy he was talking about was. She looked at her daughter nervously and found that she was holding her phone and sending a WeChat message to Lin Dan. She didn't pay attention to these words, so she felt relieved.
"Both legs were amputated?" she couldn't help but ask.
"Both of his legs were amputated, and he seemed to be crazy, shouting that there were bugs all day long. When I went to see him, his parents were sitting outside the ICU crying, just like we were at that time." Father Fang looked back at his daughter and saw that she was sitting in the car, fiddling with her phone seriously. His panicked heart gradually calmed down. His daughter walked out of the ICU alive. Although she lost some things, she did not lose hope and happiness. That was enough.
Fang's mother rubbed her daughter's head and said in a low voice: "This is retribution."
…………
Gao Shukai still didn't dare to ask Lin Dan out to play, so he was laughed at by a group of boys.
"Brother Kai, it's just a sentence, what are you afraid of?"
"Shut up!" Gao Shukai said unhappily, "I've thought about it and decided not to date Lin Dan. The place you are going to is a cemetery, not a park. What if you scare her?"
"You just want to scare her! Brother Kai, you are so rude. When a girl is frightened, she will unconsciously seek protection from boys. Then you can take the opportunity to hold her hand and hug her waist. You don't even know this trick. Brother Kai, how dare you call yourself tall, rich and handsome?" The boys became more and more excited as they talked, and began to brag about their experience in picking up girls.
Gao Shukai was impatient to hear them say such dirty words. Holding hands and hugging waists does sound tempting, but that happens when the girl is frightened. How is it different from molesting? He just couldn't bear to let Lin Dan get scared! A delicate girl like her should go to the most expensive restaurant or the most beautiful garden on a date, not a haunted place like a cemetery.
Three cars slowly drove into a cemetery and stopped on the side of the road. When getting off the car, a boy suddenly asked, "Brother Kai, where are your two bodyguards? Why didn't they come?"
Gao Shukai snorted disapprovingly: "It's up to them to come or not. If they don't come, will I be unable to leave the house? What nonsense, you don't dare to go in without bodyguards, right?"
"Who doesn't dare? Wait a minute, I'll open a live broadcast room first." A group of men and women excitedly took out their filming tools.
Gao Shukai also took out his phone and sent a message to Lin Dan: "Student Lin, is your living expenses sufficient recently? The midterm exam is coming soon, you should do your best."
Lin Dan sometimes replied to Gao Shukai’s WeChat account and sometimes didn’t, but she always replied to WeChat messages from “kind people” immediately. She wrote politely: "Thank you, my living expenses are more than enough, don't worry. I will do my best in the exams, and I will send you my transcript when the time comes."
Gao Shukai grinned and reminded: "If you encounter any difficulties in life, remember to tell me, I will find a way to solve it for you. By the way, are you going to study liberal arts or science in the future?" The second year of high school is about to be divided into different majors. In order to stay in the same class with Lin Dan, he had to find out clearly in advance.
“I plan to study science.”
"Good at science, with a wide range of employment opportunities." Before Gao Shukai could finish this sentence, he was pushed into the cemetery by a group of boys and girls. After the beginning of autumn, the night temperature began to drop day by day. The bleak wind blew the fallen leaves, making everyone shiver.
"It's a bit scary! Why don't we go back?" Someone said fearfully.
"Screenshot! My live broadcast room is already open! Let's go, keep moving forward!" The leading boy strode forward, and everyone hurriedly followed. Their crowded figures soon disappeared in the dark night.
The next day, no one came back. The parents became worried and immediately reported the case to the police. The police found the cemetery based on the images left by the parties in the live broadcast room, but they only found a few scattered backpacks and water bottles. There was a series of messy footprints on the ground, but they disappeared out of thin air, as if some mysterious power had completely erased all traces of these children's existence.
