Little Peach Blossom

10:30 finished the barbecue.

Tao Xingyu was not sleepy, so he was not in a hurry to go back to the hotel.

There was a small basket in the lounge of the recording site, which was filled with a small package of bulk snacks, which looked like meat but not meat, and were very delicious.The staff said it was bought at a nearby dry goods store.

Tao Xingyu went shopping alone, planning to buy a big bag and send it back to Zaizai.

After walking a few steps, it was easy to find the store.

After shopping, she held the things in her hands, went around, and saw a lake in the park beside the road.The lights by the lake reflected the water, and there were geese and ducks under the trees.

The air is filled with thick water vapor, with a slight earthy smell.

It was not too early, and there were still many people walking slowly along the cobblestone road.

On the spur of the moment, Tao Xingyu thought that the direction back to the hotel was right, so he turned into the park and prepared to walk out from the other side of the park.

People passing by, old men and women in twos and threes, speaking dialects, and some with small radios hanging around their waists.

The moon is hazy in the thin clouds, the wind blows through the trees, and the scenery is beautiful.

Tao Xingyu walked while looking around. After walking for half an hour, he realized that the direction was getting wrong.

After trying so hard to find a panoramic map, I knew that this is a scenic spot, and I have to walk a few kilometers before there is an exit.It's not like what she thought, it's just a small park by the side of the road.

She heaved a long sigh, carried heavy snacks, and returned the same way.

Comforting myself while walking: at least I visited a scenic spot...

When we got back to the hotel, it was already twelve o'clock in the middle of the night.

Tao Xingyu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the tall hotel signboard, his legs were sore and limp.

Suddenly, he heard footsteps behind him.

The road section here is not remote, and the hotel is quiet amidst the hustle and bustle.

Except for the occasional vehicles on the road, there were hardly any passers-by.

Tao Xingyu was out alone at night, so he walked up the steps and opened the door with vigilance.

Turning his head, he saw three men behind him. They supported a woman with long hair covering her face, and they seemed to be returning to this hotel.

Tao Xingyu breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to walk to the elevator.

She suddenly stopped, turned her head and took a closer look, the two men supporting the woman looked familiar to her, and the man following behind with his hands in his pockets was wearing sunglasses and a big black mask.

He can be vaguely recognized by his slender figure.

He is the big coffee Wang Yuhao who ate barbecue together during the banquet.

She subconsciously stopped, hiding behind the birch pillar at the corner, and was going to wait for them to get on the elevator first.

Otherwise, how embarrassing it would be to meet in the elevator.

—

Tao Xingyu slept lightly and kept dreaming, as if he was pretending to be something that he hadn't realized.

She simply sat up, washed up, and opened a bottle of wine at dawn.

Facing the window, drink on an empty stomach.

After a few glasses of whiskey, she was a little sleepy again.

Tao Xingyu, who never drank, started drinking.

Now I can't sleep well without alcohol.

Until noon, Yang Ziyi came and knocked on the door.

Her face was pale, and she told her in a panic: "Something happened."

Tao Xingyu was startled, and looked into her shining eyes, horrified but not afraid, so he was relieved.

"What's the matter? Something happened."

She took a deep breath, as if calming down, she said quickly:

"Wen Anqi is going to sue Wang Yuhao and two other men for gang-raping her."

—

Wen Anqi is 19 years old this year and has just entered her freshman year.She is beautiful, and she is also a little smart. She passed the college entrance examination and was admitted to a certain art academy. She started live broadcasting when she was bored, and gradually became a well-known little internet celebrity.

The family is well-off, the parents are loving, and the road to life is smooth.

If she wants to be a star, she has the opportunity to participate in variety shows.Although I was a bit unwilling to perform abnormally and be squeezed out by those with backers, but seeing the big star brother I was looking forward to, it was a worthwhile trip.

Relying on her pretty face, she mustered up the courage to talk to senior brother.

Unexpectedly, the senior brother was not as cold as the news, and agreed to add WeChat, even asked her out for a drink, and told her that he could help her get a chance for the rematch.

It turns out that everyone in the circle is from the same school, and it is true that they will take care of each other and hug each other.

Or is it just that she is cute?

Senior brother's eyes are so gentle, his smile is so handsome, he is still a big star who has won the best actor award...

Wen Anqi was so happy that for a moment she felt that all the stars in the sky belonged to her.

First time drinking at a bar.

Stage lighting, how fresh and interesting.The foreign wine has a high alcohol content, and the senior brother asked her to drink two glasses less, and she pretended to be playful and disobedient.

The hot alcohol slid down her throat, and the hand of the senior brother on her shoulder was so warm.

Brother is still a big star who won the best actor award...

My head is getting more and more dizzy.

Wen Anqi opened her eyes again, only to feel a sharp pain in her head. She stared at the ceiling, and it took a long time before she became conscious.

Then she realized that there were at least three men on top of her.

She struggled, but her limbs were too weak to lift.

She screamed, got a hard blow on the nose, burst into tears, and immediately fell silent.

Wen Anqi kept staring at the ceiling. During the period, she was turned over by the man several times, and the expression on her face died.

I don't know when, several men left.

Until the sun emerged, the light penetrated from the curtains to the head of the bed little by little, and fell on her naked body.

She moved her fingers, blinked, and two lines of tears flowed down into the pillow.

Wen Anqi's original world was full of flowers, occasionally there were a few fish bones, just spit them out.At the beginning of this day, she walked out of the police station, and she heard the words playing repeatedly in her ears: "Slight injuries are not enough to prove that you were forced."

I just feel that the flowers are gray and ruined, and the world is as thin as a piece of paper.

Seeing a canned cement truck drive by, she could barely restrain herself from rushing over to let the truck be crushed into mud.

If it weren't for weak legs, I couldn't catch up with the speed of the car.

In one night, her whole life was turned upside down.

All good things were savagely burned to scorched earth by a fire, exuding a rotten smell.

……

Tao Xingyu felt dizzy after hearing Yang Ziyi's words.

She leaned on the door frame to stand firm, lowered her head, and endured the hangover feeling to recall.Only then did I realize that the woman I saw last night took off the man's coat...

It's really Anqi Wen.

"She... she was gang-raped?"

"That's right," Yang Ziyi supported her with his eyes shaking, "Why did you drink in the morning? Tell me what's going on with this matter. Wen Anqi broke up with them, so she wouldn't dare to do that."

Tao Xingyu's Adam's apple moved slightly, but he didn't speak.

"After she reported to the police, she heard that there was no evidence in the hotel surveillance, so she even contacted the reporter to expose it. Is there such a thing as hype?" Yang Ziyi really didn't understand, "Wang Yuhao's fans have already revealed her home address."

"Or," Tao Xingyu looked calm, reached for the wine glass, but almost pushed the glass down, "She didn't lie."

"how could it be possible."

Yang Ziyi said dryly: "She said she was gang-raped, and Wang Yuhao was among the three, that Wang Yuhao..."

Tao Xingyu filled the wine glass again, and smiled: "How about the character of the big celebrity, don't you and I know?"

Yang Ziyi was silent.

After a long time, she asked cautiously, "So you think it's true?"

……

Tao Xingyu did not answer Yang Ziyi.

She ordered a door-to-door delivery on the Internet last night. After checking that the time was about the same, she packed up and went downstairs to send the package with the big bag of snacks.

After paying the postage, thank you, and turned to go upstairs.

Wen Anqi met in the stairwell.

Without saying a word, Tao Xingyu swiped his card silently and pressed the button for the fourth floor.

"If I die, will people believe what I say is true?"

Tao Xingyu turned his eyes suddenly and found Wen Anqi staring at her.

That gaze was fixed on her face blankly, as if looking at something else through her.

She had a plain face, her eyes were narrowed without heavy makeup, and her inner double eyelids were narrow.The facial features are beautiful without looking closely, quiet and beautiful, with a feeling of fragility to immaturity.

His face was pale, and his lips were bloodless, like an old and faded canvas.

Tao Xingyu's lips moved, staring at the numbers on the elevator's ascent and jump, and asked softly, "How old are you this year?"

"19 is old."

"So young, don't take it too hard."

"I have no proof, no one believes my words."

"I believe you."

Wen Anqi's eyes tightened, she curled her lips, and smiled lifelessly: "Thank you for your consolation, giving someone a rose, leaving a lingering fragrance in your hand, right..."

"I saw you last night."

—

Tao Xingyu agreed to be Wen Anqi's witness, proving that she was brought into the hotel unconsciously.

In less than half an hour, Zhang Qianwen knocked on her door to talk.

"Xing Yu, about that Wen Anqi... let's not mind our own business."

"I just agreed to testify for her and tell what I saw." Tao Xingyu sat up straight, "I didn't mind my own business."

Zhang Qianwen sighed, and sat down next to her: "I told you yesterday that Wang Yuhao is an ordinary big guy, and Lu Zunyi is someone with a real background and background, so Lu Zunyi was not involved here, so you think it's okay to testify? "

Tao Xingyu didn't speak.

"If you think about it, how could Lu Zunyi not protect the top card in his hand?"

"..."

"Lu Zunyi really has resources, don't meddle in other people's business, there will be a new play soon..."

Tao Xingyu didn't want to talk at first, but when he heard the word "new drama", he poked it suddenly, and all the negative emotions that were suppressed and tumbling suddenly surged up.

She said loudly: "Even if it is really Lu Zunyi, if he dares to do such a thing, I will dare to testify!"

"Tao Xingyu!"

Zhang Qianwen was frightened by her, her face froze, and she immediately continued to persuade her softly.

Tao Xingyu's face was pale, and he shook his head from time to time, but didn't respond.

After talking about it, Zhang Qian, who had a dry mouth and tongue, became angry:

"Let me tell you Tao Xingyu, Lu Zunyi and Wang Yuhao grew up together, and they have been friends for more than [-] years. They are brothers who wear a pair of pants. Do you think Lu Zunyi will watch Wang Yuhao go down?"

"Lu Zunyi didn't participate, so he came to negotiate terms with you. Otherwise, based on the status of the Lu family in this circle, you and Wen Anqi will have to leave if you can't get anything."

Sister Zhang has always been calm and indifferent, and she is used to strong winds and waves.

It was the first time she was so excited in front of Tao Xingyu, she slapped the table, the glass trembled, and the water inside splashed out.

"The Lu family can let you go to film with Zhao An, and also let you go home and be a waiter. Think about it yourself."

"Don't talk about the truth of this matter. Even if what Wen Anqi said is true, she should at least bear most of the responsibility for what happened. And how do you know if she wanted it? The conversation just fell apart. .”

"I told you not to be nosy, and I didn't ask you to give false testimony. Why is it so difficult?!"

"You don't want to mess around anymore, and don't make fun of your teammates' careers!"

If she agrees to Lu Zunyi's condition to shut up, she will get very good resources, and she can also bring her teammates to act in movies.

No perjury is required, just pretend you didn't see it.

Simple.

"I……"

Tao Xingyu's voice was so hoarse that he could hardly utter a sound.

But still spoke:

"I used to take photos for big magazines, and I was a model, and I have heard of the rules in the circle... these days, it is not popular to even sit, and the Lu family wants to suppress revenge, and it is just revenge for me who testified in court. .”

Since it wasn't Lu Zunyi who committed the crime, why did the Lu family spend so much energy on Wang Yuhao, such a traffic that can be regained in a short time.

Tao Xingyu is not a fool, he thought about the price when he agreed to Wen Anqi.

"This matter is too dirty. It's fine if I didn't see it. I saw it, but I didn't stop it... At this point, I really have no way to step on her. It doesn't matter if she is shady, refrigerated, or blocked." ..."

Tao Xingyu's voice was unbearably hoarse.

The Adam's apple moved slightly, and the eye sockets were completely red.

She pressed her tight temples, held back her tears, and told herself desperately that it was okay.
