Qin Bai ran very fast, holding my hand tightly without letting go, and Xiao Hei followed behind us.
He turned around and called out, "Xiao Hei, go home first, don't follow me."
But Xiao Hei still managed to keep up with us.
Those people behind them were in hot pursuit.
Qin Bai seemed to be very familiar with the terrain here. After running out of the unfinished building, he turned a few corners and saw the street in front of him.
This time, I wasn't blinded by hope. I paid close attention to the path I was on, because the feeling of being abandoned after falling down was awful.
Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened this time, and Qin Bai pulled me out onto the street.
"Help!"
We ran forward while shouting.
Hearing the shouts, some pedestrians turned to look.
The kidnappers behind them quickened their pace.
"Quick, let's go to the other side of the street first."
"No, I'm out of energy," I replied, panting.
"The mall is right across the street. As long as we can run inside, we'll be safe."
Qin Bai pulled me forcefully and ran towards the other side.
10 meters.
5 meters.
2 meters.
1 meter.
Finally, we reached the other side.
The shopping mall is right in front of us; the kidnappers probably won't dare to chase after us.
A surge of joy welled up inside me: "Qin..."
Squeak~~~
A screeching sound of brakes interrupted my voice.
When I looked back, a shocking crimson hue appeared on the street.
Qin Bai rushed over without hesitation: "Xiao Hei."
The kidnappers were initially hesitant about whether to give chase, but when they saw us stop, they ran over too.
"Hmph, you little brat, why don't you run away?"
The lead kidnapper grabbed my arm and pulled me forward.
At that moment, I was like a soulless corpse, letting them drag me along without any intention of struggling.
His eyes remained fixed on Xiao Hei lying in a pool of blood and Qin Bai kneeling beside it.
Did I get into trouble again?
I think so.
Xiao Hei died because of me.
It was Qin Bai's family member, and it died right in front of him.
He must be just as heartbroken as I was back then.
really.
I'm a jinx.
No matter who you meet, they're bound to have bad luck.
If I hadn't run away, perhaps this wouldn't have happened.
They should have caught them long ago; there's no point in them struggling anymore.
My life... should end like this.
At that moment, several cars stopped by the roadside, and more than a dozen bodyguards ran out and pinned the thugs who were trying to arrest me to the ground.
"Miss, Miss, are you alright? Master is on his way."
I didn't answer, I just looked at the boy kneeling in the rain.
That figure looked utterly desolate.
I staggered toward it, but the butler stopped me.
"I need to go there, I need to find Qin Bai, he..."
But before I could finish speaking, I was carried into the car.
I tried frantically to run away, but I was still taken away.
I leaned out the car window and looked out.
The rain seems to be getting heavier.
he......
Are you alright?
The first thing I did when I got home was to ask my dad to take me to find Qin Bai.
After learning what had happened, I changed my clothes and we headed towards that street.
But when they got there, nothing was left except for the pool of blood.
The father had his bodyguards search all around the area, but they still couldn't find Qin Bai.
"Yaoyao, don't worry, Dad will definitely find him. No matter what, he is your savior."
"But... Little Black is dead."
I sat down on the ground, sobbing. Perhaps no one could understand Qin Bai's feelings.
But I know that feeling of heartbreak.
It really hurts.
In the following days, I still didn't give up, but I still couldn't find the boy.
Of course, I haven't forgotten that Shen Muyao abandoned me and ran away.
I'm waiting.
I'll wait for her to give me an explanation.
Two weeks later, my phone was still silent.
Then, I went to school.
When I saw the empty seat, I was stunned for a moment.
"Where is Shen Muyao?"
"Don't you know? She's transferred schools. I thought you two were best friends, and she would tell you."
My classmates all looked at me with surprise.
"What? Transfer schools?"
I took out my phone in disbelief.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is currently switched off."
I stubbornly opened the video and dialed the number.
After a long while, no one answered the phone.
I clenched my fists tightly, smiled, and staggered out of the classroom.
Shen Muyao.
very good.
They just left without even an explanation.
I am responsible for Xiao Hei's death, but what about you?
Those kidnappers were after you. If you had been taken away then, perhaps none of this would have happened.
friend?
What an ironic word.
I regret it.
I really regret it.
Why did I have to meet you when I was five years old?
Why have I always protected you?
Why do I consider you my best... friend?
Shen Muyao.
Someday, I will meet you again.
I hope that you won't regret what you did today when you're around.
That year, I was 12 years old.
