Su Ci and Lu Zhe came to a narrow alley. The road surface in the alley was uneven, and the electric wires everywhere were pressed very low because of being tangled and connected randomly. There was an indescribable feeling of oppression around them.
"It should be here." Su Ci looked at the door number.
" Um."
Lu Zhe took Su Ci's hand and asked her to stand behind him. He walked forward and rang the doorbell.
"No one?" After a long while, the door still didn't open.
Su Ci walked forward and pressed the doorbell several times before she heard some movement from inside.
Behind the door stood a man in his forties. "Who are you looking for?"
Su Ci remembered the name of the private message she sent to her, and she said, "Uncle, we are looking for Xiao Jie. We are her friends. Is she home?"
The man looked at the two people outside the door. They were dressed elegantly and had outstanding looks. They didn't look like ordinary people. He was a little puzzled as to how his daughter could have known such friends.
He opened the door, "Xiao Jie is in the room, what do you want to see her for?"
"I made an appointment with her to go to the library together." Su Ci had a sweet smile on her face, without any trace of lying, it really seemed like she was here to visit a good friend.
The middle-aged man opened the door completely and let the two in. "She is in the room, go in and find her."
The house is not big and the lighting is insufficient, so the living room looks very dark.
The middle-aged man kicked off his slippers and walked to the faded wooden door. He knocked on the door a few times and said, "Your two classmates are here to see you. Come out and entertain them."
For a long while, there was no response from inside the door.
The man slammed the door a few more times. "Did you hear that, little girl?"
Su Ci and Lu Zhe stood quietly by and waited.
"Come out quickly. You have an appointment and you don't even check the time. Get ready. Your friends are coming and you are still sleeping in?" The man's voice was so loud that it made people's ears hurt.
There was no response from inside the door. Su Ci thought of Xiao Jie's message. She hooked Lu Zhe's hand with her finger and winked at him.
Lu Zhe stepped forward and stopped the man from knocking on the door.
"Uncle, Xiaojie hasn't responded for so long. Could she have fallen down, or something happened? Let's break the door in." Su Ci had just finished speaking to the man when Lu Zhe kicked the door open on the other side.
The two men cooperated very quickly, and the middle-aged man had no time to stop them.
The door was kicked open.
The middle-aged man saw his daughter sitting on the ground with a knife in her hand and her other wrist was cut and bleeding.
Apparently, she paddled once, but was startled by her father's sudden knock on the door and didn't have time to continue paddling.
The middle-aged man immediately rushed forward, snatched the knife from his daughter's hand and threw it aside, "You are crazy!"
"You naughty girl, what are you doing? Has your brain been damaged by studying too much? You are actually learning how to commit suicide?" The middle-aged man had a look of anxiety and worry on his face, but he couldn't help scolding his daughter.
Su Ci walked into the room and saw that the wound on Wu Xiaojie's wrist was not deep, just scratching the skin. Seeing that the opponent's health value was six yellow grids, Su Ci couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Uncle, take Xiaojie to the hospital to bandage her wound first." Su Ci stopped the other party from cursing, "Our car is outside, let's go to the hospital in our car."
The middle-aged man looked at his daughter who was crying silently with her head down. He wanted to pull her up and said, "Let's go to the hospital to get her wound bandaged."
Wu Xiaojie then raised her head, and through her tears, she was surprised to find that the strange female voice that had just spoken was actually Su Ci!
"You you" Wu Xiaojie exclaimed in a low voice, "It's Su Ci."
"It's me." Su Ci looked at her, "Your wound needs to be disinfected and bandaged in the hospital. I'll go with you."
Wu Xiaojie felt like she was dreaming.
Su Ci took out a tissue, squatted in front of Wu Xiaojie, and gently wiped the blood from her wound. "I read your private message. Don't you want to see me?"
Wu Xiaojie had a dazed look on her face. Her idol was right in front of her, but she was no longer able to think.
"I'll take you to the hospital first." Su Ci helped her up.
Wu Xiaojie's eyes were filled with tears. She looked at the unreal Su Ci in front of her, stood up obediently and cooperated very well.
The middle-aged man did not expect that his usually silent and dull daughter would do such a stupid thing in the room. If her two friends had not come to find her, I am afraid that his daughter would have been in the room.
The middle-aged man became more and more scared the more he thought about it. His hands and feet went numb and he broke out in a cold sweat. Although he would scold his daughter loudly on weekdays, after all, she was his daughter, a relative connected by blood. How could he not care about her
Watching his daughter and her friend walking out, the middle-aged man saw the knife he had thrown aside. He quickly picked it up, wrapped it up in a piece of clothing, and hid it in the cabinet above the TV.
After hiding the knife, he hurried forward.
Su Ci and Lu Zhe's car was parked outside the alley. The black, low-key and luxurious car was out of tune with the surrounding environment.
Wu Xiaojie and Wu's father who caught up with them saw the car in front of them. Even though they didn't know much about cars, they could tell that the car was expensive.
The two men were at a loss as to what to do.
"Or, I'll take Xiaojie to the hospital in a taxi to avoid trouble you." Father Wu felt very uncomfortable.
"It's not a problem, get in." Su Ci opened the car door and let Wu Xiaojie get in.
Lu Zhe was responsible for driving.
The car was very quiet. Su Ci and Wu Xiaojie sat in the back seat, and Wu's father sat in the passenger seat.
Wu Xiaojie hadn't come to her senses yet. She couldn't help but look at Su Ci out of the corner of her eye. It was hard to imagine that Su Ci actually appeared and saved her.
Su Ci noticed Wu Xiaojie's gaze, she turned her head and smiled at her, "Do you have anything to say to me?"
Wu Xiaojie quickly lowered her head, feeling ashamed that her idol had seen her in such a miserable state.
Would the idol be disappointed to see fans like her
Wu Xiaojie clenched her hands nervously on her knees, and she remained silent.
Father Wu spoke up, his voice as loud as ever, "Tell me quickly, why did you do such a stupid thing? Did your mother and I not feed you enough? Or did we not dress you warmly? We worked so hard to send you to school, and you did such a stupid thing without even thinking about it?"
Wu Xiaojie's head lowered further and further, almost touching her knees.
"Uncle, no one would want to die unless they are forced into a desperate situation, and they would be freed in this way." Su Ci looked at Wu Xiaojie, "You can tell me if you have any difficulties."
Wu Xiaojie lowered her head, and her hair on both sides obscured the expression on her face.
Father Wu looked back at his daughter anxiously. He opened his mouth but did not continue asking.
Su Ci whispered, "In the private message, you praised me for being confident and brave, and for handling attacks well. You said you wanted to be me. But you don't even have the courage to speak up. How can you be me?"
Su Ci put down the barrier in front of her. "Now it's just you and me. You can talk to me alone."
Wu Xiaojie raised her head.
The Su Ci in front of her was even more beautiful than the photos she had seen on the Internet. Her voice was also very nice and she was incredibly beautiful.
From childhood to adulthood, she has always looked ordinary, with dark skin and being fat.
She is responsible for cooking, cleaning and washing clothes at home, but her parents often dislike her for being clumsy.
She looks average, has average grades, is introverted and doesn't like to talk. In the class, she has no good friends and has no sense of existence.
It wasn't until she was in high school that she sweated a lot after a physical education class. A girl smelled her sweat and spread the rumor that she had a foul fox odor.
Gradually, people began to avoid her and looked at her with discrimination. Several times, people put chewed gum or glue on her seat.
Some people would secretly put dirty things in her water cup while she was in the bathroom.
There were even a few girls who liked to block her in the classroom after evening self-study and insult her. They also beat her several times, pulled her hair, and took videos of her being beaten.
Yesterday, those girls dragged her into the ladies' room, took off her clothes, filmed the scene, and forced her to kneel down.
She felt that she couldn't bear it any longer, so she chose to send a private message to Su Ci today to say goodbye. She didn't expect Su Ci to see it or reply to her.
Su Ci is her idol. She is beautiful and has a good family background. Whenever Su Ci is attacked, she fights back confidently and decisively, and those who bully her are taught a lesson.
Su Ci is the person she dreams of becoming.
But she was too tired, she admitted that she was weak, she couldn't bear the bullying that was like a nightmare. She wanted to be free in this life, she hoped that in the next life she would have the opportunity to become someone like Su Ci.
After listening to Wu Xiaojie's words, Su Ci remained silent.
After a while, she asked, "Do your parents know?"
Wu Xiaojie shook her head and said, "Those girls come from wealthy families, and one of them is even the niece of the school principal." Her family is poor, and her parents work odd jobs. Even if she brings the matter to the school, the leaders will only try to smooth things over.
Su Ci already understood.
"Choosing suicide is the dumbest way. You should tell your parents. If your parents can't solve the problem, you can complain to the Education Bureau or expose it to the media. No matter what method you use, you should not choose the dumbest method like now."
Su Ci told her, "You thought you were free, but have you ever thought that the people who bullied you are still alive and well? What's more, they don't think they did anything wrong, they just think you are stupid."
Wu Xiaojie began to cry softly.
Su Ci put her hand on the back of Wu Xiaojie's hand, and she held Wu Xiaojie's hand, "Since I am your idol, I have an obligation to protect my fans."
Through tears, Wu Xiaojie stared at Su Ci blankly.
After arriving at the hospital, the doctor examined the wound on Wu Xiaojie's wrist. After reminding her of the things she should pay attention to, the doctor also gently said a word of encouragement to Wu Xiaojie.
After all, such wounds were obviously inflicted by the victim himself.
People who are at their lowest point need to be treated gently.
When Mr. Wu heard the doctor say his daughter's hand was fine, his nervous expression finally eased, but his face was still tense, and he spoke with anger, "Let's see if you dare to do such a stupid thing again in the future."
Wu Xiaojie lowered her head and said nothing.
Su Ci disagreed and said, "Uncle, Xiaojie encountered difficulties and suffered a lot. She couldn't bear it, and she couldn't ask the elders for help. She was forced to do this. When you go back, you should communicate with her properly."
Father Wu was stunned.
He looked at his daughter, who was keeping her head down and silent, and his heart was in knots, with worry and accusation, "This child usually likes to hide in her room after school and rarely speaks. When she sees me, she's like seeing a tiger and wants to stay away from me. I'm your father, can't you tell me if you have any problems?"
Wu Xiaojie raised her head with red eyes. She looked at her father, who had a worried look on his face and gray hair on his temples, and whispered, "Dad..."
After sending Wu Xiaojie and her father home, it was already dark.
When Wu Xiaojie's mother returned home, she found out that her daughter almost died today. She was so scared that she hugged Wu Xiaojie and cried on the spot.
Su Ci originally didn't want to disturb the family's private conversation, but Wu's father and his wife warmly invited her to stay for dinner.
Su Ci met Wu Xiaojie's eager gaze and agreed.
"Ms. Su, Mr. Lu, our family eats light and simple food, please don't make fun of us." Father Wu originally thought that the young couple in front of him were his daughter's classmates. Unexpectedly, after hearing from his daughter, he learned that Su Ci had received a private message from his daughter, and then tracked down his home address to come to the rescue.
Father Wu was very grateful to the two young men in front of him and didn't know how to repay them.
Moreover, from what his daughter said, he knew that these two young men were not simple people, so it was no wonder that they could drive such an expensive car.
The house was very small, and there was no dedicated dining room. There was only a square table in the living room, but Su Ci did not feel uncomfortable. "You are so polite. The food is very good."
Su Ci sat next to Lu Zhe, and on her other side was Wu Xiaojie.
Wu Xiaojie was injured in her left hand, the wound was not deep and she no longer feels any pain.
The fluorescent tubes at home had been used for a long time, so the light was a little dim, but it did not prevent her from peeking at Su Ci. Wu Xiaojie still felt like she was dreaming, and she also saw Su Ci's boyfriend, Master Lu.
The two of them really match each other, and look a hundred times better than in the photos.
Now she can sit at the same table with them to eat, which is something she never dared to dream of.
Wu Xiaojie took a bite of rice and her heart was filled with excitement. At this moment, she was very glad that she was rescued and did not die.
After dinner, Su Ci took out her cell phone and exchanged contact information with Wu Xiaojie. "Go back to school tomorrow and study hard. If you encounter any problems, remember to contact me and I will help you solve them."
Wu Xiaojie looked at Su Ci's avatar in her phone's friend list in disbelief. Did she add Su Ci as a friend
Wu Xiaojie felt dizzy.
"Do you know?" Su Ci stretched out her fingertips and touched Wu Xiaojie's nose.
Wu Xiaojie's face turned red instantly. If it weren't for her dark skin, her face would have turned red.
She nodded quickly, "I know."
Ah, her idol is beautiful, gentle and kind. She will be a fan of Su Ci forever!
Su Ci and Lu Zhe were about to leave, and the Wu family saw them off to the door.
Wu Xiaojie kept waving to Su Ci, "Please be careful on the road."
Back to the car.
Su Ci sat quietly in the passenger seat.
"What's wrong?" Lu Zhe leaned over to fasten the girl's seat belt.
Su Ci reached out and hugged Lu Zhe, resting her head on his shoulder. "For the first time, I realized that I could influence others and become a driving force for their efforts."
Lu Zhe chuckled and hugged her back, "You are not only a motivation for others, but also a motivation for me."
Without her, he might be in some corner, waiting for the disease to break out and then slowly die.
Hearing this, Su Ci, who was still sentimental a second ago, became proud. Her eyebrows curved, "I am not only your motivation, but also your peerless loveliness."
A smile appeared in Lu Zhe's dark eyes, "Yeah."
There were no street lights in the alley and it was pitch black all around.
Su Ci pulled at Lu Zhe's clothes, and she asked for a kiss as a matter of course: "Kiss me."
After stopping Wu Xiaojie from committing suicide, she got another gold.
Lu Zhe lifted the girl's chin with his cold fingertips and kissed her, extremely gentle in the dim light.
