Chapter 354
The old lady took out a small locked box from the bottom of the cabinet and handed it to Xia Ling.

"The old man will be back soon. Take this box and go. See if there is any way to unlock it."

Xia Ling nodded while holding the dusty box, "Give me a call. If I find out anything, I'll tell you. Do you have the other Gawain's contact information?"

"Yes. But I don't know if the phone has been changed." The old lady took out a torn phone book from the low cabinet, rummaged through it for a while, and pointed to the phone number with a frame on it, "This is it. Back then he He came to give me something, and left it behind. Later, he was beaten away by the child's father, and he never came again."

Xia Ling took a picture of the phone number with her mobile phone, and talked with the old lady for a while.

The old lady said that Qiu Xue's father was about to return from the field, so she left Qiu Xue's house in a hurry.

On the way back, I happened to see a small advertisement for unlocking the door, so I made a call, went straight to the store, opened the box, and then ran back to the hotel quickly.

Sitting in a separate study room in the hotel suite, Xia Ling raised his hand and opened the lid of the wooden box.

Inside are neatly placed Qiu Xue's homework books, as well as several Qiu Xue's books.

There is an old red plastic-covered diary at the bottom.

She opened the diary.

Qiu Xue's daily life is densely recorded in it.

Things big and small are lined up in beautiful fonts.

Xia Ling read page after page. This was probably a habit she had developed in elementary school.

The notebook recorded her feelings about studying, copied some sentences excerpted from the book, and wrote about her parents' hard work. She stated her ambitions every day.

She wants to be a lawyer because many people in the village who go out to work have suffered unfair treatment, but they are bullied because they don't understand the law.

She wants to make money, and she doesn't need too much, as long as she can take her parents to the city to live in the elderly in the future, and she doesn't want them to be so old and run around the fields every day with a hoe.

My mother has a bad back and my father has a chronic cough.

She wants to cure them of the diseases caused by overwork when they grow up.

From the No.1 junior high school in the village, she passed the entrance examination to the key high school in the city.

During that vacation, she recorded her excitement and apprehension about leaving home for a big city, as well as her outlook on high school life.

But nothing went as she wished.

Most of the students in the school are from good families, at least in her eyes, no student is as poor as her.

She ate steamed buns every day and couldn't afford food. She didn't feel hard work, but she was ridiculed and teased by her classmates.

She didn't understand why poverty would become a reason for being bullied.

The longer time passed, the sadder she felt.

Suddenly one day when she was being ridiculed in the cafeteria, a boy named Yan Xingchen appeared.

He is tall and handsome, has a good family background, and is gentle, just like the boys in the youth novels that his classmates discuss during class.

He came forward to defend her, and since then, no one dared to bully her again.

He wouldn't let himself eat steamed buns anymore, and would drag her to the canteen with him every day. From time to time, he would buy drinks and give her snacks.

She felt that she owed Yan Xingchen a lot, so she helped Yan Xingchen fetch water every day.

I would make two revision notes every night, and I would be the first to arrive at school from the dormitory in the morning, and I would first go to Yan Xingchen's class to help him clean the desk, and then put one of them on his desk.

Gradually, the two of them became inseparable in the cafeteria, library, and every road on campus.

On Christmas Day, everyone in the school was handing out peace fruits.

However, Qiu Xue received a grand confession that only belonged to two people.

Yan Xingchen said many touching words to her in the snow.

He seemed to be holding a key, opening up a world that Qiu Xue had never touched.

From friends to lovers, they fell in love secretly without telling everyone, which made the relationship between the two even more sweet.

It records the first kiss, and her first time.

But apart from sweetness, Qiu Xue has more overwhelming control.

He didn't allow her to look at other boys, and even when she asked the male teacher two questions during class, she would be dragged to a remote corner and have a big fight.

Then being treated coldly, Qiu Xue bowed her head to admit her mistakes again and again, begged for reconciliation again and again, and her grades continued to decline for the sake of love.

She felt suffocated and powerless, as if she was stuck in a quagmire and couldn't struggle out, her hands and feet were tied up, and she was about to be drowned.

She met Gao Wen during a volunteer activity organized by the campus holiday.

Although Gao Wen has the character of a ruffian and a rascal, he is enthusiastic in his heart and sees things thoroughly. His family background is not good and he is sensible.

The two chatted a few words during the activity, feeling a little bit like seeing each other late.

Gao Wenhui understood Qiu Xue's pain, and his words were rough, but every detail made people feel warm.

During the two months that the two got along, they felt like brothers and sisters, taking care of each other and sharing their thoughts.

On the day when the volunteer service ended, the scene of the two talking and laughing happened to be bumped into by Yan Xingchen who had returned from a trip abroad.

That was the first time Yan Xingchen had done anything to Qiu Xue.

Since then, spending time with Yan Xingchen every day has been like hell.

She was forced to go to day school, and was locked up in Yan Xingchen's rented house every day after school, guarded like a prisoner.

After finding out she was pregnant, Yan Xingchen insisted that this was not his child, and sent Qiu Xue to the hospital to have an abortion.

The diary came to an abrupt end here, and her life was probably terminated shortly after this moment.

Xia Ling slowly closed the diary, and the words he read just now seemed to be turned into tiny scenes in his head, which were played back continuously.

Yan Xingchen personally destroyed Qiu Xue with his so-called liking.

If she lives, she will face endless torture. She will face the reality that she was determined to realize her dream and step away from herself step by step, and eventually become something that even she cannot accept.

The phone at hand buzzed and vibrated, and Xia Ling turned to look at the words "Yan Xingchen" flashing on the screen.

As soon as she picked up the phone, Yan Xingchen asked, "Where are you? I didn't even agree. Why did you leave without permission? Why didn't you call me after being there for so long? You were going out with your mother. Or are you going out with other men? Xia Ling, how could you betray my trust!"

Xia Ling hung up the phone with indifferent eyes, and then dialed the video.

When the video was picked up, Yan Xingchen's face was already very ugly, and his expression was even a little distorted.

Xia Ling waved at the camera, "Did you see it? I'm in the hotel, opposite to the sea."

His anger seemed to miss her body and hit any wall, completely ignored by Xia Ling.

Yan Xingchen was even more angry, "What do you mean? You don't even bother to explain. With this attitude, do you want to break up?"

When it came to breaking up, Xia Ling's camera immediately turned back.

There was no smile on her face on the screen, and her eyes were looking at Yan Xingchen coldly.

"Yan Xingchen. I treated you so well and loved you so much, yet you betrayed me."
