After that day, I kept wanting to ask Qin Bai if those people bullied him again.
But a long time passed, and I didn't see him again.
Gradually, I forgot about it, just when I thought I would never see him again.
Fate seems to have played another joke on me, and my life has once again taken a turn for the worse.
That noon, Shen Muyao and I walked out of the school, intending to go home for lunch.
I suddenly remembered a newly opened restaurant nearby that's supposedly quite good.
"Muyao, we'll tell the driver later that we won't be going home for lunch. I'll treat you to something nice."
"Will this work?" she asked, tilting her head.
"Why not? You don't have to go to class at noon."
"oh."
When we arrived at the school gate, I said goodbye to the driver and then grabbed Shen Muyao and we ran off.
By the time the driver realized what was happening, we were long gone.
We had a great lunch that day, but it started raining heavily when we left the restaurant.
"Why did it suddenly start raining? Luckily I brought an umbrella. Are you all wet?"
"fine."
"Take this alley; it'll be closer to school from here."
"Um."
"Your exams are in a few days, how's your preparation going?"
"fine."
Hearing her soft reply, I knew she was definitely okay.
Come to think of it, with her grades, she could definitely be called a top student.
Ever since I became her deskmate, I seem to have consistently ranked among the top students in my grade.
Actually, I really didn't want to study, but when I was daydreaming, she would gently tug at my sleeve.
Therefore, she deserves at least half the credit for my excellent grades.
Just as we were chatting, several people wearing raincoats suddenly rushed over aggressively.
I immediately had a bad feeling.
"Mu Yao, run!"
I pulled her and ran behind us, feeling several people following closely behind.
I knew it; that damn premonition was right.
This group of people came specifically for us.
"Help me~~~" I shouted as I ran.
But the sound was quickly drowned out by the rain, and because of the rain, there wasn't a soul in sight in the alley.
I already regret it. Why did I take Shen Muyao out to dinner today?
Otherwise, a driver should have taken us to the school gate by now.
But thinking about it now is useless. The footsteps behind me are getting closer and closer, and I can already hear several people talking.
"Boss, which one should we arrest?"
"The one on the right."
Upon hearing this, I immediately understood that they wanted to capture Shen Muyao.
The Shen family is really a target of trouble; they must have kidnapped them to extort a ransom.
I grabbed Shen Muyao and ran frantically through the rain.
Fortunately, there were some miscellaneous items inside. Taking advantage of the terrain and our small stature, the kidnappers failed to catch us several times.
Seeing that a wide road led to the end of the alley, my will to survive reached its peak.
"Mu, Mu Yao, let's hurry up, there's... Ouch!"
While he was talking in a daze, he slipped and fell to the ground.
"Mu Yao, pull me..."
I reached out my hand, thinking she would pull me up without hesitation and we would escape together.
But she only glanced at me, then at the kidnappers in the distance, and without hesitation, turned and continued running forward.
In that instant, my world collapsed.
Why?
Why didn't she care about me and instead ran away?
Aren't we best friends?
Why was there not a trace of pity in her eyes when she looked at me last? There was only endless indifference.
Is she always faking it?
But she was there for me during the darkest time of my life.
I always thought she was the light that illuminated my life, but now...
That light is gone, leaving me alone in this dark alley.
At that moment, my heart was as silent as death.
The chaotic footsteps behind me interrupted my thoughts.
Suppressing my sadness, I looked at a small alley to my left and scrambled towards it.
At that moment, my mind went blank, and all I wanted to do was leave that dark and gloomy place.
The rain kept falling, soaking me completely. I felt cold, and my heart felt cold too.
I don't know how long I ran, but when I saw the unfinished building in front of me, I ran inside.
He crouched in the corner, his body trembling.
The fear instilled in me by the group of kidnappers and Shen Muyao's cold gaze made my tears of grievance fall continuously.
Just then, I heard footsteps ahead, and I immediately felt like I was facing a formidable enemy.
Just as I was about to run away, a familiar figure appeared before me.
"Qin Bai?"
A person and a dog came into my view.
Little Black probably remembered that I was the one who wanted to feed it, and it wagged its tail at me a few times.
Qin Bai was still carrying the woven bag in his hand. After seeing me, he didn't say anything and turned to leave.
Seeing a familiar face at that moment was like grasping at a lifeline.
She rushed over and grabbed his sleeve, crying, "Someone...someone wants to arrest me, I... Waaah~~~" She choked up and couldn't speak anymore.
I must have looked awful back then, with snot and tears streaming down my face, and I was soaked to the bone. I must have looked absolutely miserable.
Hearing me say that, Qin Bai stopped in his tracks.
