regardless of

After closing the door, Xi You returned to the room.

Seeing him coming in from the corner of the eye, Gu Chou took off one earphone and asked, "Is she alright?"

Xi You sat beside him and glanced at him: "Did you hear everything?"

Gu Qiu also took off the other wireless earphone, raised his hand and pointed it in the direction of the trash can, as if he was about to throw it away, Xi You pinched his wrist.

"I suspect that this merchant has made fraudulent publicity, saying that it mainly focuses on noise reduction," Gu Chou pinched the two white earphones in his hand, as if he were pinching two white rabbits that had caused trouble, "I don't know where the hell it is. gone."

"If the earphones were alive, you would have strangled them to death by now." Xi You grabbed the earphones from his hand and put them on the bedside table.

Gu Chou followed the earphone that was rescued halfway, and said a little depressed: "I didn't want to listen."

I don't know what kind of hypocrisy he has in his heart, Xi You smiled lowly and said, "I'm not afraid you will listen."

After a pause, she continued: "Yin Xuan is not that drunk. She clearly distinguishes what she can say from what she cannot say, which means that she is at least clear-headed. So, she doesn't mind you hearing it."

Gu Qiu pondered for a moment, then nodded.

It does seem to be the case.

"She seemed to see something in the afternoon." Gu Chou recalled, "I saw her glance in our direction several times."

When Gu Chou said this, the words that Yin Xuan said just now that Xi You was particularly obvious flashed in his ears.

He raised the corner of his mouth with a hint of humor: "Brother Xi."

"Ok?"

"When I fell asleep in the car," he paused for a moment and raised his eyebrows, "did you drool at me?"

Xi You was stunned for a moment, and glanced at him. After Pian Zai Tao Xiao Xiangzhu carved it, he said flatly: "Well, it's more than that."

"???"

"By the way, I thought about it. For such a precious food, it's better to stir-fry, deep-fry, or steam and slow-cook."

"..."

Gu Chou made a sound of "fuck" and ran towards Xi You directly.

Xi You was pushed back by him and fell on the bed.

Gu Chou grabbed Xi You's front neck with his forearm: "Huh? Do you fucking want to die?!"

To Xi You, his threat was like a cat pawing someone, it had no deterrent effect.

Xi You raised his hand hanging on the edge of the bed, touched his back, lowered his tone, and changed the topic: "If someone knows, will you be worried?"

Although there was no preface to these words, there was a foreword. Gu Chou understood what Xi You was asking at once.

He answered quickly, as if it wasn't worth his time to think: "Not afraid."

His answer was expected by Xi You.

Gu Chou is such a person, he will not be timid, he will not be bound by human feelings or things, he will always say and do what he wants, without any worries.

"I'm not afraid," Gu Chou continued before finishing his sentence, "but I also don't want to deal with the ensuing troubles prematurely. It doesn't matter if I'm talked about, I've long been used to it. It's just my mother Once I get involved, I basically have to be arranged."

Xi You asked, "For example?"

Gu Chou: "Throw me abroad, and after you fix it, give me a customs clearance certificate to return to China."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xi You was silent for a while, his hands moved up Gu Chou's back, stopped at the nape of his neck, clasped his palms tightly, and said, "Then no one will know."

Gu Chou was slightly depressed, and said, "Li Pei knows."

"except him."

Gu Chou nodded and asked, "What about you? Are you afraid?"

Xi You said, "I'm not afraid."

"Is it because you have a bad relationship with your family, so you don't care what they think?" After Gu Chou asked, he remembered something and asked again, "What about grandma? She is old, if she knows, can she accept it?"

Xi You said sarcastically, "It's because she's getting older that she takes it lightly. According to the traditional law of sexual reproduction, she gave birth to a pair of children. In the end, who has fulfilled the obligation to support them?"

Gu Qiu remained silent for a long time, and there was a brief silence between the two of them.

After a while, another word came out of Gu Chou's mouth. He was about to ask Xi You "why you have a bad relationship with your family", but Xi You spoke before him and asked about another detail that Gu Chou had just understated. : "You just said that you are used to being gossip, what do you mean?"

Halfway through, Xiyou's phone vibrated softly.

He picked it up and looked at it.

From Jiang Meng: [The person has been delivered and is well. 】

Xi You replied "Thank you".

He raised his eyes, Gu Chou looked over and asked, "Have you delivered?"

Xi You: "Yes."

Gu Qiu fell silent.

Xi You saw that there was obvious depression between his brows, and he thought it had something to do with the question he asked just now: "Is it something you don't want to talk about?"

"I don't want to say it." Gu Chou raised his eyebrows, as if what he was thinking made him extremely disgusted, and even mentioning it would dirty his mouth.

"If you're not happy, don't say it."

Gu Chou asked, "Do you really want to know?"

It would be a lie to say that I don't want to know at all.The matter related to my boyfriend is still very emotional, so it must not be considered a trivial matter.For him, it naturally whetted his appetite.

But that's not important, what's important is that if the behavior of "speaking" lowers Gu Chou's state, no amount of curiosity is worth mentioning.

Right now, it can be seen with the naked eye that at least 1 Gu Chou are unwilling to talk about this matter.

Xi You had planned to reply "I don't want to" against his will, but Gu Chou had already started the conversation: "Do you remember Chen Yao? The one who deliberately blocked me on the basketball court in physical education class?"

"If you feel uncomfortable..."

Before Xi You could finish speaking, Gu Chou cut him off: "It doesn't matter if you're happy or not, gossip doesn't have much effect on me. I'm just sick of that incident, and that old bastard."

When Gu Chou said so far, Xi You could only listen attentively.

Gu Qiu said: "Although Chen Yao and I didn't deal with each other, they found fault with me everywhere. But in this matter, he saw me as a problem student from the perspective of an outsider. I can understand it, because he really knows the truth about this matter. There are not many people."

There is no way to make a long story short about this matter, we can only start from the source.

And all this dates back to September last year.

At that time, everything went well for him in the attached middle school, his grades were not bad, and because of Li Pei, a social butterfly, he got along very well with the students in his grade and class.

Even the annoying peach blossoms are gone.

You must know that in the first year of high school, he was stuffed with love letters every three days, and was blocked every now and then, which was unbearable.Maybe it was because I had been unmoved for more than a year, and I didn't pick a single peach blossom. Those peach blossoms who went on and on finally began to lose their fighting spirit, their flags died down, and Gu Chou was able to be cleansed.

Li Pei also cleaned up a lot.

Over the past year, as Gu Chou's best friend, he has endured too much.

From time to time, girls find him and ask him to help deliver love letters to Gu Chou, or ask him to find out about Gu Chou's preferences.

Because of this, Li Pei became a very popular person with girls.

He and Xia Xuyan met in this way.

Xia Xuyan is from another liberal arts class. She originally has a low-key and quiet personality, but because of her pure and eye-catching appearance, she is very topical in the male circle and has many suitors.

But she has always been very good, never just immersed herself in her studies.

Everyone thought so too.

Everyone thinks that she doesn't fall in love or socialize because she is afraid of delaying her studies.But Li Pei knew that it wasn't exactly the case. This girl once mustered up the courage to confess to Gu Chou once.

At that time, it was still the first semester of high school. Li Pei was caught playing games in an Internet cafe and fined to clean the classroom for a week.After the evening self-study get out of class, most of the people left, only a few sporadic ones remained in the classroom, Li Pei was dancing disco with a mop, Xia Xuyan appeared, stood at the door of their class, and yelled like a mosquito He said, "Hello, can I come out?"

Li Pei was a surprise at the time, Xia Xuyan was a girl, and the boys in his grade basically knew it.A good student in the eyes of famous teachers and a good girl in the eyes of classmates.

He leaned the mop against the wall, came out, and asked what he was looking for.

Xia Xuyan looked a little embarrassed, she hesitated and stood there clutching the corner of her clothes, and took a long time to take out a letter from her school uniform pocket.

Seeing this action, Li Pei knew it in his heart.

as predicted.

Xia Xuyan held one side of the letter with both hands, and slowly handed it to Li Pei: "This, can you pass it to Gu Qiu for me?"

Li Pei was still in shock. It turned out that the rumored Guaiguaibao only knew how to study.

He was not in a hurry to pick it up, and said to Xia Xuyan in a down-to-earth manner: "Of course I can hand it in, but it is probably the same as any other love letter. He basically won't read it. If you send it yourself, you can also gain a sense of presence." , let him know you."

Li Pei actually has his own way of doing things, not rigid.

He looked pleasing to the eye, thought she was a pretty good girl, and was happy to give her a good suggestion.

Gu Chou's bad temper, if he can really fall in love, maybe someone will punish him.

Li Pei is still very happy to hear about this.

"Be bold, girl. The only way to win is to take the initiative. If I hand you a love letter, the success rate can only be zero." Li Pei said.

Xia Xuyan: "You helped pass it to him, but he never read it?"

Li Pei shrugged: "Without exception."

Xia Xuyan pursed her lips, retracted the letter, and said in a muffled voice, "Thank you."

Then turned away.

Li Pei said "Hey", but Xia Xuyan didn't look back.

Li Pei told Gu Chou about it the next day.

Gu Qiu listened nonchalantly, only to hear that when Li Pei suggested that the girl take the initiative, he cast a sniper look at him: "Why do you owe so much?"

"She's a pretty girl, but she's so good. Several boys in our class like her." He remembered something, "Oh yes, Chen Yao seems to be chasing her."

Gu Chou let out an "oh", as if listening to other people's business.

Li Peixin said that when this Nuwa created Gu Chou, she probably dozed off and used a stone as her heart.

But it was also because of this incident that Li Pei met Xia Xuyan.

Every time he met in school, he would wave and greet Xia Xuyan. Xia Xuyan was quite embarrassed at first, but the number of times increased. Seeing that Li Pei greeted him consistently, she slowly let go. Sometimes when she sees Li Pei first, she will call him.

If Li Pei was accompanied by Gu Chou, she would walk past silently with her head down. When Li Pei saw her, she would pretend to look at her casually, say "eh", and then walk in The moment he looked at Gu Chou, he quickly looked away.

Of course, Gu Chou didn't change anything because of this, he looked at Xia Xuyan no differently than he looked at any female student in their class.

The relationship between Li Pei and Xia Xuyan is getting better and better. The two even added WeChat, chatting and making dinner appointments from time to time.

Xia Xuyan didn't play with boys before, but when she really met a male friend, a courtesan like Li Pei, her personality gradually became more cheerful.

When she met Li Pei again, and Gu Chou was beside him, she was not as shy and embarrassed as before, and would smile at Gu Chou and nod her head.

Gu Chou didn't respond to this at first, his expression was indifferent, as if Xia Xuyan was greeting the air behind him.

But he couldn't bear Xia Xuyan's comfortable impression, and Li Pei next to him would push his head to lead the red line every now and then, but Gu Chou didn't reject Xia Xuyan, so he also nodded in response.

What he didn't know was that what he thought was an insignificant response had a great impact on Xia Xuyan.

The excitement of being noticed by someone you like can easily be transformed into motivation and confidence.

That quiet and introverted little girl's vitality increased day by day because of this, and she looked different every day.

Li Pei also jokingly told Gu Chou that if Xia Xuyan improved a bit, she would be able to come to him and confess her love immediately.

Gu Qiu said that he didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement.

Facts have proved that Li Pei's prediction was correct.

At the end of the first semester of high school, Xia Xuyan really walked up to Gu Chou to express her heart.

Although Gu Chou didn't hate Xia Xuyan, he really didn't have that kind of interest in her, so he gave the answer of rejection.

After Li Pei knew that Xia Xuyan's confession failed, he still wanted to comfort her, but she was not too depressed, as expected.

Xia Xuyan also told him that she didn't care about the result, she just didn't want the process to be full of regrets.

At first, Li Pei thought that she was talking about being brave, but after observing for a while, she found that Xia Xuyan was really not depressed because of this, and her state was the same as before.

The vitality is still there, and the Xia Xuyan who wants to become better is still there.

The most important thing is that Xia Xuyan didn't deliberately reduce her contact with her because she was rejected by Gu Chou, and the two maintained their usual friendship.

After the summer vacation, Li Pei will make appointments with her to play secret rooms and script killing. Xia Xuyan is a very smart girl, and she never lags behind in this kind of party games. Gu Chou has also played with her twice, and she is quite impressed by her. of.

During the period, Li Pei also told Gu Qiu that Xia Xuyan couldn't be a girlfriend, but it would be good to be a friend.

Gu Qiu was also noncommittal.

Everything was fine at first, and everyone got along smoothly and comfortably.It was at the end of September after the start of the second semester of high school that Xia Xuyan noticed that something was wrong.

Li Pei asked her out to play with her several times, but she always found reasons to turn him down, and when he sent her messages, she seldom replied, and even when she did, the words were extremely brief.

Li Pei is quite nervous, he only thinks that she is too busy recently and it is approaching eleven, so he goes to her class to find her and ask her what her plans are for the holiday.

It was only then that he realized that he hadn't seen Xia Xuyan for a long time, and when he met face to face, he realized that Xia Xuyan's whole person had changed a bit.

The external weight loss is second to none, mainly due to the human spirit.

The previously swollen vitality had dissipated at some point, and now she looked extremely shivering. Compared with her earlier introverted and reticent state, this state can be said to be extremely abnormal.

When Li Pei was talking to her, she rarely raised her head, and even if she did, she didn't dare to meet his eyes.

Not surprisingly, Xia Xuyan declined the invitation for the National Day holiday.

Li Pei asked her what happened recently, if something happened at home, she just shook her head and said "nothing".

He didn't make an appointment, and he didn't ask any questions. He only saw a friend who looked like a deflated balloon. Li Pei felt blocked and wondered.

After returning, he told Gu Chou about it.

Gu Chou remembered something based on this, and said, "I ran into her once a few days ago, but I didn't say hello. She seems to be a little evasive."

"Yes." Li Pei stroked his chin, his face full of confusion, "What's going on here?"

He also thought about something, and said to Gu Chou: "Speaking of which, the last time I saw her was more than a week ago. She came out of the political education building, and I patted her from behind. She was so frightened that she trembled. Talk to her, and she's a little out of sorts."

Li Pei is warm-hearted, not to mention that he really regards Xia Xuyan as a friend. Seeing that Xia Xuyan's spirit is so bad now, he can't sit still, so he wants to figure it out. If he understands, at least he can prescribe the right medicine. Don't care, don't know if Xia Xuyan will continue like this, or worse.

He was a man of action, so he went to find Xia Xuyan's head teacher in her class. The head teacher said that he had also discovered this situation, so he talked to Xia Xuyan specifically for this reason, and even asked her parents, but the answer he got was that nothing was wrong. Son, it's just that the study pressure is a bit heavy.

As a result, teachers and parents are dead ends, and the exit still has to be found through Xia Xuyan.

Li Pei had no choice but to go to ask Xia Xuyan again, send a message to make an appointment, and make an appointment in person, but to no avail.Seeing that Li Pei was so worried about this matter, Gu Chou said that he would try it too, but there was no guarantee that it would work. After all, Xia Xuyan didn't want to avoid him.

The next day, after evening self-study, Gu Qiu and Li Pei waited for her at the corner of the floor where Xia Xuyan's class was located.

She came out very late, and after most of the crowd dispersed, she carried her schoolbag and walked out of the classroom slowly with her head down.

At first, she didn't see Gu Chou and Li Pei.

She didn't raise her head until she was deliberately blocked by these two people, and the moment she saw them, her expression was clearly flustered.

It was the first time Xu saw Gu Chou actively looking for her, she froze in her footsteps, she was in a daze, and didn't care to run.He looked up at Gu Chou in a daze, as if he couldn't believe it.

Li Peixin said, knowing that Gu Chou's card is so easy to use, he should have taken it out a long time ago.

But something happened that neither of them expected. Xia Xuyan just looked at Gu Chou, and tears flowed down her face.

Both boys were taken aback.

And Xia Xuyan also obviously found that she lost control of her emotions, and was about to run away.

Li Pei had made up his mind before coming, no matter what this time, he couldn't let her escape, so he reached out his hand in time to stop Xia Xuyan from escaping.

Li Pei asked her, "What happened to you?"

Gu Chou took a small step, got closer, and said, "What's the matter, just tell us and we can help you."

Xia Xuyan wiped away the tears that were flowing more and more fiercely, and slowly shook her head.

Li Pei asked: "You shake your head, meaning you're fine, or do you think we can't help you?"

Xia Xuyan still didn't speak.

Gu Chou took out a pack of tissues from his pocket, took out one and handed it to her.

Xia Xuyan took it and lowered her head to wipe away her tears.

Gu Chou asked her, "Are you in a hurry to go back?"

Xia Xuyan shook her head.

Gu Chou: "Are parents worried?"

Xia Xuyan said: "My father is on a business trip, and my mother is on night shift."

Gu Qiu nodded, and asked again, "Will you go to KFC?"

Xia Xuyan looked at him, and nodded after a while.

"Then let's go." Gu Chou said.

Gu Chou stepped forward first and walked in front, Xia Xuyan bypassed Li Pei, and Dian Dian'er followed behind Gu Chou.

Li Pei stood on the spot and said "Fuck", and said in disbelief: "Is Gu Chou a fucking Gu?!"

Gu didn't worry much about this matter before, after all, firstly, he and Xia Xuyan are not very close, secondly, he is not a very old-fashioned person who likes to meddle in other people's business, and thirdly, things like being in the wrong state are somewhat involved. When it came to the private sphere, his meddling in it was beyond the bounds.

But once he decided to intervene, he was much more meticulous than Li Pei in every respect.

No, you can see it as soon as you step out.

Li Pei is a rough person, he only catches people and asks them, and if he can't get the result, he is anxious. A lot of girls' thoughts are actually written on his face, but he basically can't read them.

Gu Chou just asked a question, and he could see Xia Xuyan's indescribable helplessness and fear that had nowhere to hide.It's not that she doesn't want to say it, but she doesn't know whether to say it, who to tell it to, let alone how to say it.

So it was almost impossible to hear her speak out for a while.To guide, leave a certain amount of time for her to do psychological construction, and, in this process, it is best for someone to accompany her, preferably in an open and bright place with enough popularity, which can bring her sense of security.

Instead of letting her sink deeper and deeper into her own emotional quagmire, unable to speak out.

After leaving the school, Gu Chou deliberately chose KFC, which was closer to Xia Xuyan's house, and the three of them took a taxi there.

After arriving, Gu Chou ordered several set meals.

The three sat around a small round table.

There are plenty of lights in KFC, there are casual people around, not noisy, everything is just right.

As soon as the waiter delivered the food, Li Pei picked up a piece of Orleans chicken wing and gnawed on it. He also called the other two: "Come, come, let's talk while eating."

Gu Chou seldom ate at night, and only took a sundae, taking a sip from time to time.

Xia Xuyan even had no appetite, so she reluctantly stuffed popcorn chicken into her mouth.

Li Pei had planned to go to Xia Xuyan's chatterbox at the beginning. After Gu Chou said "don't worry", he quickly realized that he didn't rush, and chatted about some daily and relaxing topics.

Xia Xuyan would purse her lips and show a little smile from time to time.

When he noticed that she had almost entered a calm and relaxed state, Gu Chou said: "Instead of being trapped in so many worries and fears and panicking all day long, and finally collapsed, it's better to speak up and let everyone find a solution together."

Li Pei said: "Yes, Xia Xuyan. When I see you in such a poor state recently, I can always think of the news about those students who jumped off the building due to excessive study pressure. When I think of it, I get terrified. It's okay if I don't know you or see it. , we can be regarded as friends, if we know about it, we still want to die, it's not my Li Pei's style, nor my Gu Ye's style."

In fact, Xia Xuyan has always known his kindness. She glanced at Li Pei, then at Gu Chou, lowered her head, and said softly, "Thank you."

Seeing her like this, Li Pei felt very uncomfortable, and said, "What about you, the active and cheerful one in the middle?"

This question from him can be said to be like stabbing a red-hot wire on a bloody wound, and it hurt Xia Xuyan scorchingly.

Xia Xuyan's eyes turned red, and she opened her mouth in a murmur, "I..."

She said "I" several times in succession, but it was difficult to say a complete sentence no matter what.

Full of unspeakable secrets.

Gu Chou could only induce a little bit: "Is it a family matter? It has something to do with parents or relatives and friends?"

Xia Xuyan shook her head.

Gu Qiu asked again: "Study?"

Xia Xuyan still shook her head.

Gu Qiu: "Is that from school?"

Xia Xuyan paused, and lowered her head a little, but not completely, and began to shake her head again.

Li Pei and Gu Chou looked at each other.

It was changed to Li Pei asking: "Did some classmates bully you?"

Xia Xuyan shook her head, and said this time: "It's not a classmate, it's..."

"I can't say it," she said, tears streaming down her face.

Li Pei narrowed the scope even further: "Is that the teacher?"

Xia Xuyan's body trembled uncontrollably.

Li Pei had a very bad premonition in his heart, but they hadn't left the ivory tower after all, so they weren't used to judging the reality with the greatest malice.

He could only ask, "Did the teacher beat you and scolded you?"

Xia Xuyan pursed her lips, but still shook her head, because she pressed her lips so hard that they turned white.

Li Pei and Gu Chou glanced at each other subconsciously, and they both had a terrible guess.

Li Pei's expression became extremely shocked in an instant, and Gu Chou also frowned fiercely.

When asked this step, Xia Xuyan didn't seem to say anything, and seemed to have told them everything except one name.

Gu Chou tidied up his expression and maintained his composure: "Can you tell who it is?"

Xia Xuyan's shoulders trembled even more. She seemed to be trying hard not to let herself tremble, but her body didn't listen to her at all.

Gu Chou put a Portuguese egg tart in front of her: "Don't worry, don't be afraid, we won't say anything."

Li Pei's expression management failed completely, his face was gloomy, he gritted his teeth, as if he was waiting for Xia Xuyan to say the name, and then immediately rushed out to kill him.

Xia Xuyan's lips trembled, and she uttered a syllable with a trill: "Zhao... Zhao..."

This surname alone is not easy to lock down, but it does not prevent Li Pei from being so angry that he subconsciously nominates the first teacher in his grade whose surname is Zhao: "It's the Zhao who teaches geography in the fourth class." ..."

"No," Xia Xuyan didn't want him to make a mistake, so she said it all at once, "It's Vice President Zhao."

Li Pei: "..."

Gu Chou: "...Zhao Baizhi?"

Xia Xuyan nodded.

Li Pei was still in shock and didn't recover. Gu Chou was equally unbelievable. He calmed down and said after deliberation: "He... he treats you..."

He wanted to ask Xia Xuyan what step Zhao Baizhi had done to her, whether there was any evidence left, and whether he threatened her.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, he felt that all these questions were cruel, especially the first one. He was just about to skip the first question, but Xia Xuyan said it himself.

I was always afraid to talk about this matter before, so I could only be bored, carrying, and struggling. Now that I talk about it, the shame, despair, and fear in my heart seem to be carried into a bigger and wider container. , she seemed to get a moment of respite.

"He put his hands in my clothes, up, down," she said.

Li Pei interrupted her: "Stop talking."

Xia Xuyan suddenly became stubborn at this moment: "He also took off his pants, let me use..."

Li Pei broke out suddenly: "I tell you to fucking stop talking!"

Xia Xuyan looked at him with red eyes, and tears flowed violently: "You guys asked me, and you asked me to tell you. Do you think it's disgusting..."

"You're right, you're not disgusting either." Gu Chou said with a cold face, "The one who's disgusting is Zhao Baizhi."

Li Pei crushed an empty Coke paper cup by his side, his cheeks were tense, and he took out his mobile phone to make a call.

Gu Chou snatched his phone: "What are you doing?"

Li Pei: "Ask old Ban, where does this old Zhao Baizhi live, my mother..."

Gu Chou: "What are you? Go to his house and kill someone now?"

"Can you fucking bear this?"

"I can't bear it, but you can bear it now. I haven't understood everything yet, so impulsiveness is useless!"

"Gu Qiu—"

"You can rush over and make this a mess. Do you think Xia Xuyan has overcome so much and told us that she wants you to do this?"

Li Pei raised his hand and scratched his hair irritably, and cursed "fuck" aggrievedly.

From the moment Li Pei showed anger, Xia Xuyan was enveloped by a sense of powerless dull pain.

This dull pain lasts for a long time, and it will make people feel numb.

The only advantage is that she can use it to give a brief account of what happened in a calm dullness.

At the beginning of each school year, the attached high school will conduct a large-scale evaluation activity based on the comprehensive performance of the students in the previous school year.

This evaluation activity became the beginning of Xia Xuyan's nightmare.
