The fragments from the shattered mirror scratched the back of Xin Xiaolu's hand, leaving two bloody marks. Xin Xiaolu glanced at the bloody mark on the back of his hand, and once again pressed down the dizzy Situ Zhuo under his hand, and slammed hard against the remaining half of the glass mirror that had not yet completely shattered.
Good, now the glass is completely broken.
Compared to Xin Xiaolu's minor scars, Situ Zhuo looked much more miserable. If it weren't for the cloth wrapped around his head, he would have been even more miserable.
Xin Xiaolu held the tightened curtain in his hand without loosening it, stuck in a place where it was difficult to breathe but unable to catch his breath. Situ Zhuo was dizzy and his feet were limp, lying on the ground, his hands and feet were weak and he had no strength to resist. Xin Xiaolu dragged his head into the bathroom, turned on the shower faucet, and poured cold water over his head. After the curtain was soaked in water, it was heavy and pressed against his face, further squeezing the air he could breathe.
Perhaps he didn't expect that even if he acted like this, Xin Xiaolu wouldn't let go, and instead he had to be tormented by her, Situ Zhuo suddenly struggled. He was too strong, and for a moment Xin Xiaolu couldn't match him, so he tore off the curtain covering his face. There were small scratches of different sizes on his forehead and cheeks, and when the water washed over them, red blood flowed down his cheeks along with the water, and he looked like a ghost.
His ability to withstand beatings is truly amazing; he was able to recover so quickly after being beaten so violently.
"You're finished." Situ Zhuo gritted his teeth and rushed forward, trying to grab Xin Xiaolu.
Xin Xiaolu crouched down, squeezed past him, grabbed a spiral handheld showerhead next to him, and while Situ Zhuo was stumbling forward and couldn't turn around, he put the spirally twisted shower hose around his head and squeezed it tightly from behind.
"Ugh, uh—"
Most people, even if they attack others, will subconsciously feel psychological pressure, and inevitably not so determined, but Xin Xiaolu is not like that. She has no pressure to kill people. She is a fierce ghost. Even if she returns to the human world and lives as a human for a few years, she is still that wandering ghost in her heart. The malice in her heart is also fully aroused towards those who have malice towards her.
Her hands were steady, tightening again and again, with no intention of relaxing, ready to strangle anyone who made her unhappy. Situ Zhuo's movements became smaller and smaller, and his hands unconsciously scratched around, accidentally knocking over the shower gel and other things around him, and a sweet milky scent emanated.
Perhaps it was because he drank too much milk that Xin Yanlai brought him, every time Xin Xiaolu smelled the scent of milk now, he would think of that milk boy.
Thinking of him, Xin Xiaolu loosened his grip without warning. Situ Zhuo fell to the ground, twitching and gasping like a dying fish.
"Forget it." Xin Xiaolu stepped on Situ Zhuo's feet and walked out of the bathroom, looking calm.
There were many people in the hall downstairs, many of them were upper-class people, all of whom were guests attending Situ Zhuo's birthday party. Xin Yanlai was also there. He came with his father. The Situ family was planning to start a new company here, so they invited all the famous people in the business community to come to the birthday party of Master Situ. Everyone tacitly wanted to build good relationships so that there would be more opportunities for mutually beneficial cooperation in the future.
As a well-known businessman in the city, Xin Yanlai's father was also invited. Because his son is about to turn eighteen and is so outstanding, he inevitably wants to show off, and he likes to bring people along to such occasions.
Xin Yanlai was a tall and fair young man with outstanding demeanor. He was very eye-catching in formal attire. When Mr. Xin heard others praising his son and saw their envious eyes, he felt comfortable. After entering the venue, he kept talking and smiling to the people who came to greet him, and then introduced Xin Yanlai to others.
They didn't come early, so they didn't see the scene where Xin Xiaolu was forcibly brought here. In Situ Zhuo's expectation, he should appear like a winner with the newly dressed heroine, and declare his sovereignty in front of the second male lead. However, how could he have imagined that the heroine was not willing to be a flower basket to satisfy his competitive spirit and pride, and she scolded him severely and then went out alone.
To leave here, you have to go through the hall. Xin Xiaolu didn't care so much and went straight downstairs and through the hall. The hall was full of elegant people in formal attire. Xin Xiaolu attracted a lot of attention as soon as he appeared.
Some people were curious and asked, "Whose is that? Why did it appear like this?"
"It seems to be brought by the young master of the Situ family. Oh my God, how did it become like this? What happened?"
Xin Xiaolu turned a deaf ear and walked out through the crowd.
Suddenly someone called out to her in a surprised tone, "Xiaolu?"
Xin Yanlai didn't expect to see Xin Xiaolu here, just as Xin Xiaolu didn't expect the little brother to be here.
Xin Yanlai threw his father aside and walked a few steps to Xin Xiaolu's side. Looking at her, the anger in his eyes grew stronger and stronger, and there was also some barely perceptible panic. But his tone was very careful, "Xiaolu, are you okay?"
Xin Xiaolu had just hit someone too hard upstairs, and the fight was intense, so it was inevitable that she looked ugly now. The wound on the back of her hand from the mirror fragments was bleeding because it was soaked in water, and her clothes were stained with a little blood from Situ Zhuo's head, and there were marks on her palms from the shower pipe where her wrists were tied with a ribbon before, because she strangled Situ Zhuo's neck too hard, and the red marks have not disappeared yet. The water splashed in the bathroom splashed on her body, and her clothes and hair were a little wet.
Coupled with her perennial paleness and her young age, others would look at her as if she had been... bullied.
Xin Yanlai also had such a guess. He thought more than others and his expression was extremely ugly. Xin Xiaolu looked at his expression and thought that he had turned into a ghost with broken hands and feet, otherwise why would he have such an expression.
Xin Yanlai pulled Xin Xiaolu's hand over, and seeing the red marks and blood on it, he blurted out a swear word and almost exploded with anger.
Mr. Xin, who had just walked over and had not yet opened his mouth to speak, heard his son swear: "..." My son actually knows how to swear
Xin Yanlai held Xin Xiaolu's hand tightly. He was still thinking about restraining himself and not scaring Xiaolu again. She must have encountered something bad, and she must not be scared again.
"It's okay. I'll take you home first." Xin Yanlai forced himself to look better. After saying this, he didn't care how the people present and the owner of the house would react. He just carried Xin Xiaolu and walked out quickly.
Mr. Xin: “…” Wait? Son
The Xin family's driver was also a little surprised to see the young master coming out holding his beloved sister.
"Uncle Liu, drive back."
"Oh, oh, okay, what about President Xin?"
"Go get another car to pick him up." Xin Yanlai said briefly, placing Xin Xiaolu in the back seat and sitting next to her. The car started, and Xin Yanlai took the tissue from the car to wipe the blood off her hand. Fortunately, the wound was shallow and did not bleed continuously. Xin Yanlai put down her hand, hesitantly touched Xin Xiaolu's hair, and whispered, "Xiaolu... Can you tell me what happened?"
Xin Xiaolu: "It's nothing serious. I was about to go home when Situ Zhuo and his men took me to the place just now."
It was indeed him. Xin Yanlai's heart sank, and he tightly clenched the tissue in his hand.
"Then what… ?"
"Then I had a fight with him." Xin Xiaolu paused and said, "He didn't die. I don't think he will die."
Xin Yanlai didn't ask any more questions.
He sent Xin Xiaolu home and treated the two scratches on the back of her hand. When he got home, his father had already returned and scolded him fiercely: "What were you like just now? You have no manners at all. And that child, do you know what she did? She beat the child of the Situ family severely. I heard that when they went to look for her, she was lying in the toilet."
Xin Yanlai stood in front of his father and said coldly, "Just beat him, what else can you do?"
Mr. Xin laughed angrily, "What can we do? Let his father take her to apologize."
Xin Yanlai thought for a moment and said, "No way, I won't let her go. She is my sister. She was bullied. There is no reason for her to apologize to the perpetrator."
President Xin: "Sister? You think others are blind and can't see it, right? I've never seen you protect your cousin like this. She's not your biological sister, what are you doing?"
Xin Yanlai was silent for a moment, but did not deny it. He said to his father, "I will protect her and will not let anyone force her."
Seeing him like this, President Xin said angrily: "I shouldn't have let you get so close to her in the past few years. I should have stopped you earlier!"
It's too late, Xin Yanlai thought.
"Don't mess with me here. This is none of your business. I'll talk to her dad myself. Just stay out of this." Mr. Xin waved his hand with a headache and told him to go back to his room.
Xin Yanlai spoke again: "I said, she doesn't have to go."
"Hey you… "
"There is less than a month left before the college entrance examination, and there is still half a month left before my eighteenth birthday."
President Xin was stunned. It took him a long while to realize what his excellent son had said. "Are you threatening me?"
"No." Xin Yanlai's tone was not joking at all, "If you insist, then I will do it according to my own ideas. No one can force her."
Mr. Xin, a smooth-talking man, was so mad at him that he slapped the armrest of the sofa and compromised after a long time: "... If I don't want to go, then don't go. Don't make trouble at a time like this!" Although his son has been obedient and sensible since he was a child, he can be scary when he is stubborn, just like his mother. If he goes against him, he will do anything, maybe even give up the college entrance examination. If this kid is really stubborn and doesn't study hard in the college entrance examination, he will be laughed to death by his old friends in the business world.
"Dad, I hope you will do what you say." Xin Yan said.
Mr. Xin didn't want to listen to him anymore, so he pointed his finger upstairs and told him to get out. This bastard, wait until the college entrance examination is over, and see if he has anything else to threaten you with. He doesn't believe that he, as a father, can't control his son!
Xin Xiaolu went to school later and didn't see Situ Zhuo again. It was said that he went to recuperate. No one in the school knew how he got injured, and the girls talked about it all day long. Xin Xiaolu didn't pay any attention to this matter. After three days of peace and quiet, she took the initiative to go to the high school department to find Xin Yanlai.
This was the first time she took the initiative to go to the high school department and found Class 1 of Grade 3. She discovered that although the get out of class was over, the students were still sitting in their seats writing furiously, even quieter than during classes in the junior high school.
"Brother." Her voice caused a stir in the quiet class.
"Hey, isn't that my sister?"
"Squad leader, your sister is here."
Xin Yanlai stood up as soon as he heard Xin Xiaolu's voice without being reminded. He put his pen on his notebook, walked out of the classroom and took Xin Xiaolu to a secluded place on the stairs. "What's wrong, Xiaolu? Did something happen?"
Xin Xiaolu shook his head, "Brother, I beat Situ Zhuo last time, but his family didn't look for me, and neither did the school. Is it because of you?"
"Don't be afraid, Xiaolu. No one will come after you for this. You did nothing wrong." Xin Yanlai's words were tantamount to indirectly admitting that it was indeed because of him.
Xin Xiaolu had a very strange feeling in her heart. In fact, she was not afraid. If she was afraid, she would never do such a thing. She never thought that someone would help her bear anything, but she unexpectedly received love and care.
The boy in front of her seemed very young and not that strong, but he kept trying to protect her. Why? To be honest, she didn't quite understand.
The author has something to say: I'm telling you seriously, for young people, for their first love, the more opposition there is from people around them and the greater the pressure, the more they will love it to death.
