Liang Kaifeng glanced at me intentionally or unintentionally, and said proudly, "I asked that Gu Yu's roommates personally, and they told me personally. I heard that although Gu Yu is a freshman, he has been a student since the beginning of school. He is always alone, and often stays out at night. It must be in the middle of the night that he often does ulterior things."
It's childish and ridiculous. I shook my head, looked at the half-eaten dumplings in front of me, suddenly lost my appetite, and wanted to leave when I got up. Unexpectedly, at this time, Shi Yitong just came back from buying a drink, and looked at me standing up with a puzzled expression.
"Hey, didn't you just sit down? Why are you leaving?"
"It's okay, let's eat somewhere else." I shook my head.
But I didn't expect that Liang Kaifeng suddenly raised his voice when he saw that I was leaving.
"Maybe, that Gu Yu is the murderer who raped and killed girls!"
The distance was too close and the voice was loud, Liang Kaifeng's words were immediately heard by Shi Yitong. Shi Yitong scolded without even thinking about it.
"Who are you! How can you slander people casually?"
"Yo yo yo, look who this is. Why, come to fight against Gu Yu?" This response made Liang Kaifeng more interested, and the way his chin was raised so high really wanted to be punched, "You How do you know that Gu Yu is not the murderer?"
Shi Yitong said angrily, "I'm his best friend, how could I not know!"
"Oh, did you see that?" Liang Kaifeng turned his head and said to the group of boys, "Maybe this 'friend' was bought by Gu Yu with a lot of money, maybe he is also an accomplice to murder!"
"You!" Shi Yitong blushed, and I quickly stopped him before he did something more egregious.
"Okay, what do you know about them?"
"But Gu Yu! He said you are a murderer, can you bear it!" Shi Yitong was still very excited.
"Let's go, ignore them!" I half-forced Shi Yitong away from the cafeteria, until we reached the door, I could still hear Liang Kaifeng's laughter.
"Oh, what are you doing!"
As soon as he walked outside the cafeteria, Shi Yitong shook off my hand, still looking angry.
"Why did you drag me out! That kind of person just needs a beating, and everything will be fine after a beating!"
"Then you were demerited by the school, or even put on probation?" I rolled my eyes, "Forget it, it's not worth it just for that kind of person."
"But! He actually slandered you as a murderer!"
Shi Yitong's words made my heart ache. I took a deep breath, pretended to be relaxed and smiled, "It's not entirely wrong what he said, after all, Wang Zhong's death can't be said that I didn't have a part in it."
"Oh, Gu Yu!" Shi Yitong stomped his feet on the spot, he was not very expressive, and looked at me anxiously, angrily and worriedly.
And I just smiled and waved my hand, "I'm fine, let's go back."
——One week and three days have passed since Wang Zhong was killed and I escaped covered in blood.
And for more than a week, I have never been to the old house on the mountain behind the school. I deleted Wen Jiubai's number from my phone, and also unfriended me from the game. But I knew in my heart that even if I didn't do this, Wen Jiubai probably wouldn't take the initiative to contact me again, and I didn't even know what I was afraid of.
I couldn't sleep all night, and even if I fell asleep, I would be awakened by nightmares in the middle of the night. The dream was full of Wang Zhong's distorted face turned into a ghost, and Wen Jiubai's expressionless cold face when he killed someone.
It would have been fine if I hadn't agreed to him to take up this commission from the beginning... No, if I hadn't been to the back mountain and looked for Wen Jiubai from the beginning, none of this would have happened.
"Gu Yu, you haven't been looking for that person surnamed Wen recently, have you?" Shi Yitong asked.
I shook my head and didn't speak.
"That's good. You see, I have already said it. That man has a very dangerous aura. It is better for you to stay away from him." Shi Yitong patted me on the shoulder, "Although... my grandma seems to be quite Trust him, but I just think he's weird. Just leave him, and nothing weird will happen again, don't worry."
I glanced at Shi Yitong, and still couldn't help but say, "...he saved my life."
"Saved you? Why didn't you tell me before?"
"I probably forgot." I said vaguely, "He blocked Wang Zhong's knife for me. If he hadn't rushed over at that time, I might have died there."
"Ah? So serious!" Shi Yitong asked somewhat incomprehensibly, "But, didn't you say that he kills people without blinking an eye..."
I nodded, with a complicated feeling in my heart, "I don't know why he would risk his life to save me. Logically speaking, I don't know him very well. I don't think if it was him, I wouldn't necessarily I would rush over without hesitation..."
Shi Yitong also hesitated, "My grandfather said that you must repay your kindness, not to mention that he saved your life. You just ran away without even saying thank you. Wouldn't it be too good?"
Hearing what Shi Yitong said, my heart became even more irritable. In fact, I also understand this truth, even if my roommate invites you to dinner, I still have to invite him back, not to mention Wen Jiubai... saved my life. But now I really don't want to see Wen Jiubai's face again, it will definitely cause me many bad memories.
Forget it, let's find a time and go there. Just say "thank you" and leave. I decided so secretly in my heart.
"Gu Yu! Shi Yitong!"
At this time, a voice sounded not far away, Shi Yitong looked up and smiled.
"Hey, it's Su Xiaoyun here. Goddess Su!" Shi Yitong waved to Su Xiaoyun and trotted over. I shook my head helplessly and followed.
"You two boys, your movements are too slow. I went to the supermarket and came back." Su Xiaoyun handed two ice creams to me and Shi Yitong respectively, "Here, I will reward you both."
"Yes, thank you for the reward, miss." Shi Yitong held the ice cream in both hands and bowed solemnly, which made me laugh out loud.
"All right, all right, stop pretending, the ice cream is about to drop." I teased, Su Xiaoyun also showed a happy smile.
During the two days when I was depressed, Shi Yitong and Su Xiaoyun took good care of me, invited me to dinner, and helped me copy notes. During this period, the police also called me several times, and they always accompanied me, as if they were afraid that I would run into Wen Jiubai by chance.
However, I never saw Wen Jiubai again. He is like a light mist, coming mysteriously and impermanently, leaving without a trace.
