It's getting dark.
The street lights nearby had not yet been turned on, making Duan Jiaxu's eyes look even darker. He stared at Sang Zhi, his lips slightly pursed, it was hard to tell what his emotions were, and he made no other moves.
This kind of silence is like the calm before the storm.
Sang Chi added nervously and worriedly, "My parents never hit me."
Duan Jiaxu said in a ambiguous way, "I will beat you"
Sang Chi glanced at him and breathed a sigh of relief calmly, "Isn't it?"
Duan Jiaxu laughed, "Didn't I say no?"
""
His eyelids moved, and he suddenly noticed a particularly conspicuous mark on Sang Zhi's clean school uniform. It was located next to the collar, and it was obviously caused by cigarette ash.
Duan Jiaxu paused, thinking he had seen it wrong, and slowly moved closer.
But Sang Chi thought that he really wanted to teach her a lesson, so she pursed her lips tightly, looked fearful, resigned herself to her fate, and spread out her hands that were hidden behind her back, and timidly placed them in front of him.
Duan Jiaxu's Adam's apple rolled, and he pointed at her collar and asked, "How did you do that?"
Sang Zhi was startled and looked in the direction he pointed. Only then did she find a burn mark on her clothes. She subconsciously rubbed it with her fingertips, but it didn't come off.
"Kid." Duan Jiaxu asked in a low voice, "Someone bullied you"
Sang Chi nodded hesitantly.
Duan Jiaxu's expression suddenly turned ugly. He subconsciously checked if she had any wounds on her body, frowned and said, "Why didn't you tell your brother?"
"I don't want to trouble you. My brother also told me to be honest and not to cause you trouble." Sang Zhi said gently, "I don't plan to hide it. I will tell my parents when I go back."
Duan Jiaxu patiently asked, "Did I hit you?"
Sang Chi thought about it and shook her head. "They just patted my face, took twenty yuan from me, and told me to give them the money tomorrow."
"Why did you go over there?"
"My friend asked me to go." Thinking of Yin Zhenru, Sang Chi's mood worsened again, and her voice became lower. "She felt scared, so she asked me to go with her."
Duan Jiaxu's words were a bit absurd, "Why didn't she tell her parents?"
"Because those people said that if we told our parents, they would come to our school every day to look for us." Sang Chi answered whatever he asked, "So she didn't dare to tell her parents."
Hearing this, Duan Jiaxu half squatted down and looked at her at eye level.
Then suddenly, "Put your hand out."
He obviously didn't want to give her anything. Sang Chi looked at him suspiciously, but didn't move. After a while, she stretched out her hand.
Duan Jiaxu raised his hand and slapped her palm unexpectedly.
The force was so gentle that it sounded like he was high-fiving her.
Sang Chi immediately retracted his hand and asked, "What are you doing?"
Duan Jiaxu said lazily, "I'll hit you."
""
"Listen carefully, kid. If anyone tricks you into going to an unsafe place again, you must not go, no matter how good your friend is." Duan Jiaxu stood up and rubbed her hair. "Did you hear me?"
Sang Chi said aggrievedly, "Then you can't hit anyone either."
"Well, why can't you hit people?" Duan Jiaxu laughed softly, "If you don't listen..."
Sang Chi looked alert.
He stretched out the last syllable, and said with a playful tone, "I'll beat you up every time I see you."
""
Seeing that it was getting late, the two of them did not stay in the original place.
