Sick Beauty Gives Up Struggle [Rebirth]

A large fountain square, still full of voices, very lively.

Aunt Hui still didn't show up, but the place where she used to be was taken by a vendor who collects used books.

The vendor spread out a plastic blanket on Aunt Hui's site, and set up a sign next to it. With a red oil pen, he wrote the three characters of "receive old books" one stroke at a time.

It's already the graduation season, and senior students are busy dealing with sundries and books in the dormitory. At this time of year, the school gate is full of people who collect books and second-hand goods.

Textbooks are not frequently used in college, and often after a semester, the books are still as good as new ones. Those who fiddle with old books will buy them at prices ranging from two yuan to five yuan. After a few months of school, they will pay two or three times The price is sold to freshmen.

A Dalian self-study classrooms are not allowed to occupy space, let alone open space outside.

But when Li Rong saw a strange person appearing in a familiar place, hatred still rose in his heart.

He gently rubbed his palms, took a deep breath, and walked towards the school security office.

The school security office is located in a remote old-fashioned small brick building in the southeast corner of the fountain square. It looks old on the outside and looks vicissitudes. It will collapse after a slight shock, but the interior decoration is still very modern.

As a century-old prestigious school, University A also attaches great importance to the cultural landscape. Some buildings with historical traces would rather be carefully repaired every year than to destroy and rebuild them.

Ivy vines hung on the outside of the brick house, lying on the rough and cracked red bricks, not emerald green, but dark gray, and I don’t know how many years it has existed.

Cen Wei followed Li Rong's footsteps, and looked at Li Rong's back meaningfully.

In such a remote place as the school security office, he walked in the right direction directly, as if he was completely familiar with University A.

But he didn't say anything, with his hands in his pockets, he took two quick steps and stood side by side with Li Rong.

At this moment, the sun is dazzling, the water in the fountain pool is trembling, unknown petals are staggering and rolling in the cool wind, and on the shaded green trees, revived insects and birds are whining one after another.

Li Rong stopped in front of the red brick house, paused, and said to Cen Wei: "My parents took me here when I was a child, it seems like nothing has changed."

Cen Wei pursed his lips, nodded thoughtfully, and then grabbed him: "Wait for me."

Li Rong didn't understand, so he stood where he was, and saw Cen Ling go around to the back of the security office, lift the curtain, and enter a small convenience store.

Not long after, he came out of the convenience store with a pack of cigarettes in his hand.

Li Rong raised his eyebrows, his eyes flicked over the cigarette in Cen Xiao's hand, and fixed on the door of the small convenience store.

University A has a large campus, and bicycles are an indispensable tool for going to school.

Such a large-scale campus naturally has all internal organs. University A has an independent ecosystem, including hospitals, gyms, small parks, milk tea shops, high-end restaurants, theaters, supermarkets... everything.

Those small, inconspicuous convenience stores and newsstands are naturally scattered all over the place.

If you are not very familiar with the campus, it is impossible to remember the specific locations of these small shops.

Cen Wei walked up to Li Rong, and said lightly, "I used to come here with my mother."

Li Rong stared at Cen Wei's eyes with sharp eyes, remained silent for a while, and finally smiled noncommittally: "That's it."

Cen Xiao's mother, Xiao Muran, came from a truly scholarly family. The Xiao family traced back dozens of generations. The one who made his fortune was a famous writer and calligrapher in history. His works are still collected in the cultural museum.

Xiao Muran grew up in an extremely strong academic atmosphere, and he was familiar with history books very early, and learned from the past and the present.

She doesn't work in University A, but because of her family's reputation and her own talent, she was hired as a visiting professor by University A at a young age. She will take a class when she is happy, and she will not take it if she is not.

Li Rong estimated that Xiao Muran himself did not know in which direction the door of the A convenience store opened.

But... Cen Xiao said yes.

Most of the people in the school security office have gone out to stand guard, and there are only one or two people left on duty.

The man on duty at the window was watching a drama while eating melon seeds with his head down. After seeing Li Rong and Cen Wei from the corner of his eye, he asked with downcast eyebrows, "Register the bicycle?"

Li Rong looked around the security office, but found no notice posted on the wall. He looked away and said with a smile, "I'm a student who is recommended to University A this year, come and have a look."

The doorman stopped eating melon seeds, then put down his phone and looked at Li Rong seriously.

The students who can be recommended to A University are all the best in the provinces and cities. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are one in a million. The guard still has natural envy and admiration for such intelligent children.

"Ah... recommended, I don't have a map here, you can find a student from our school to show you around, they have volunteers for that organization."

Cen Ling lowered his eyes, and pushed the box of cigarettes to the doorman in a very natural manner. Before the doorman could respond, he asked, "We walked all the way, and some seniors said that there have been a lot of thefts in the school recently. He plans to I bought an expensive laptop, so I was a little worried."

The guard originally wanted to pretend to evade the pack of cigarettes, but seeing that Cen Wei immediately introduced a new topic, there was no chance for him to evade, so naturally he would not pretend to be lofty.

It's just that this time, his attitude towards Li Rong and Cen Wei is much more enthusiastic.

"How can there be so many, this group of students will spread nonsense. Recently, we just got together, and it was resolved quickly. We have held several conferences, and now we are stricter. With my eyes, is it a student? Not a student of this school, I can tell at a glance."

Li Rong smiled lightly, and decided to forget about the fact that the other party regarded him as a college student at the beginning.

"I heard that people outside the school stole it?"

The doorman straightened his arms, stood up halfway, passed his finger over the window, and pointed outside: "Look at this campus, how many people outside, there may be one or two with ulterior motives, and the students nowadays are all rich and innocent. Whoever steals the students steals?"

Li Rong looked in the direction he pointed, fixed his eyes on the crowd in the fountain square, and asked lightly, "What did you miss in the recent meeting?"

The doorman hesitated.

Although he felt that it was a bit unreasonable for a recommended student who hadn't come to school to be so concerned about the theft, but after all, he had accepted the cigarettes, so he couldn't help but answer.

"Let's say it's a mobile hard disk. It seems that the student is a major who often does experiments. There are a lot of experimental data in the disk, which are used to write graduation thesis. Now he has lost it and has no backup. He is worried that he will not be able to graduate, which is why he made such a big fuss. , it seems that the hard disk itself is not particularly expensive, 2000 yuan."

Li Rong frowned slightly: "Do you often do experiments, Department of Biochemistry?"

The guard waved his hand: "No way, A is a mess of majors, I can't remember clearly."

Seeing that Li Rong was a little impatient, Cen Wei immediately took up the conversation: "For such an important thing as a graduation thesis, fortunately, it was solved quickly, otherwise it would really delay graduation."

The doorman snorted and curled his lips: "Oh, I didn't find it. Now there is a suspect, but there is no evidence. It is so small that it can be taken away in your pocket, but there is no evidence between the desks in the computer room. They all have tall partitions, you know there are blind spots in the monitoring.”

Cen Wei: "The suspect doesn't admit it."

The guard immediately showed an expression of 'you are too young and naive': "Of course you don't admit it, why did you admit it when you didn't take pictures, or the school got angry and put all the pressure on us, how many conferences do we hold this month? Yes, I used to work shifts every day, but now it’s fine, I can’t wait to hang around outside all day, I’m so tired that I can’t straighten up.”

Cen Wei supported Li Rong's back, and gave him a reassuring look.

At least now we can know that Xu Tanghui was not arrested, nor was he photographed stealing anything, so the matter will be nothing at most.

Li Rong did not heave a sigh of relief, but his expression became more dignified.

"Since there is no evidence, maybe she didn't steal it."

The guard: "The monitoring has been checked, and she was an outsider who entered that day. She is quite capable. I don't know where to get the campus card. It's not the kind of fake card that is issued outside the school. It can be used in school. Yes, ask her where she got it, she won’t tell her life and death, but do you think she is suspected? It must be her, she’s just playing a scoundrel, the students who bully others are timid, they can’t remember some details clearly, even the police can’t do anything about it. "

Li Rong took a deep breath, only feeling a lump in his throat, and a tight pain in his chest.

It turns out that other people, like Cui Mingyang, can easily conclude that a person has done something wrong by connecting elements that have nothing to do with the incident itself.

No evidence, no explanation, just prejudice is enough to convict.

Such prejudice is not limited to the guards involved in handling the incident, but also Cui Mingyang, who is rumored to have excellent grades, and Cui Mingyang's parents, who have a certain social status and education far beyond ordinary people.

Education, wealth, and power will bring people an invisible aura, but under the aura, it is just an ordinary soul.

When he was a child, when he first perceived the distinctive status of his parents, he also inevitably felt vanity.

He would raise his face in the kindergarten and introduce to others with great interest: "My mother is a professor at the university, and my father is also a professor at the university. They have written a lot of papers, and they are very good. Go to the Hongsuo Research Institute."

Once when Gu Nong came to pick him up, he just heard his showing off, and immediately frowned.

Later Li Qingli called him to his study and read him a passage from "Hua Gai Ji"——

"I thought that if there is such a troublesome prohibition in the Palace of Art, it would be better not to go in; or stand on the desert, watching the flying sand and rocks, laughing when you are happy, screaming when you are sad, and cursing when you are angry, even if you are beaten all over by sand and gravel His body is rough, his head is bleeding, but he touches his congealed blood from time to time, and feels that if there are patterns, it may not be too late."

He couldn't understand, Li Qingli just laughed, and didn't blame him, criticize him, or even stop his vanity.

Li Qingli only said: "Then you read more, and you will understand later."

But Gu Nong fed him a mouthful of fragrant and sweet mango, and his voice was as gentle as water: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand, it's best if you don't understand."
