Many people say that Qi Xuan is not worth sympathizing with or helping. With a background like his, where his biological father was a gambler and his biological mother abandoned him when he was young to be with a rich man, what kind of child can such a family raise?

  Pei Si Cheng regarded Qi Xuan as a friend because of one thing.

  Pae Se didn't learn any martial arts, taekwondo or sanda when he was a kid. His current skills were all developed during his two years in the army. Before joining the army, he had never fought with anyone before.

  The first time I got into a fight was with some thugs near school who wanted me to hand over my money.

  Paisong didn't receive any special training, but relying on the fact that men like watching martial arts and action movies, he knew those basic lethal moves of directly punching and choking.

  One-on-one was still okay, but one-to-many, Pei Si Cheng easily fell behind.

  At this time, Qi Xuan's taking the blame for Pei Si Cheng further solidified their friendship.

  Zi Xuan, apart from having a somewhat evil aura, he knew that Pei Si's family had money, but he never asked to borrow any, even when his father, who owed tens of millions in gambling debts, called him every day to pester him for repayment.

  He approached Pei Cheng's purpose purely because of Zhang Mengxue, not for money.

  However, after getting in touch with Pei Ci, they found that their personalities were very compatible, which is also the reason why Pei Ci was willing to help Qi Xuan clean up the mess later on.

  Outside the private room, a layer of floor mats was laid out in the corridor. A woman wearing high heels walked by in front, making no sound at all.

  Paisong walked out of the box, with his hands in his pockets, and kept walking forward. Behind him, Zheng Jiawei suddenly grabbed Paisong's arm and said, "Stop!"

  Pei Si stopped in his tracks and turned around.

  Although he was only a high school student at the time, Pei Si Cheng's height was already quite impressive, reaching 1.78 meters in high school and growing another 5 centimeters later on in his military life. Zheng Jia Wei now looks up to him with her head tilted back.

  "I don't believe it. Don't you have any idea about Meng Xue's feelings towards you? She's so obvious about it. Can't you see?"

  Pei Si leaned against the wall behind him, hooked his lips, "The two breakfasts that Zhang Mengxue bought for me before, who secretly threw them into the trash can? Zheng Jiawei, don't say you're now sympathizing with Zhang Mengxue, but you stopped me before and now stopping Qi Xuan, it's really making me especially surprised."

  Zheng Jiawei was momentarily at a loss for words.

  She said: "I just feel that Qi Xuan is not a good person, you're pushing Zhang Mengxue to him, won't you have a guilty conscience?"

  Pei Si shrugged: "When did I ever say that I would return Zhang Mengxue to him? I just wanted these two people to talk, and if there's anything they can say, then so be it. And let me make one thing clear, I don't like Zhang Mengxue, not even a little bit."

  It was really a coincidence that when Pei Si Cheng said this sentence, Zhang Meng Xue who was behind him happened to open the door and coincidentally heard this sentence.

  Just now in the private room, Qi Xuan confessed to Zhang Mengxue again. Zhang Mengxue's response was: "I think we're not suitable, maybe you'll find someone better. I need to focus on finishing high school and then taking the college entrance exam, this is my parents' expectation of me."

  She rejected Qi Xuan in a more tactful way.

  And now, Pei Si's direct words were like a sharp knife that directly pierced her heart, dripping with blood.

  The flower of love in her heart had withered and died before it even bloomed, stained with blood.

  Zhang Mengxue had already heard it, so she might as well walk forward directly and ask for clarification.

  There were no tears in her eyes, just a little more heartache.

  "Pei Si Cheng, I've never said it before because I thought in high school, I didn't want to cross the line, and wait until college to make plans, okay? I know my behavior may not have been obvious enough, but since junior high, we've known each other, and I've always had good feelings suppressed deep down." Zhang Meng Xue paused for a moment before continuing, "Originally, I didn't plan on revealing it, but now that everything is clear...I want to ask you something myself."

  Zhang Mengxue said all the words in her heart.

  Pei Si Cheng slightly raised his eyes and said, "Mm."

  Zhang Mengxue gritted her teeth and asked, "Have you ever had any feelings for me?"

  Inside the private room, Qi Xuan walked out and stepped out with one leg.

  Pei Su Cheng glanced at Zhang Meng Xue and could tell that she was struggling to control her emotions, but he still said: "No."

  Zhang Mengxue directly covered her mouth, and her voice came out from the gap between her fingers. She said: "Sorry, goodbye."

  Having said this, she ran downstairs along the corridor.

  Zheng Jiawei called out "Meng Xue!" and then followed behind in pursuit.

  After Zhang Mengxue and Zheng Jiawei left, only Pei Si Cheng and Qi Xuan were left in the corridor.

  Zi Xuan walked over, "You really don't like Zhang Mengxue?"

  Pei Si's gaze swept past, "Don't like it."

  Pai Si Cheng was really uninterested in other women, which also made Old Lady Pai and Pai Lin Feng feel at ease with him, because he had no feelings, so he couldn't muster up any interest.

  But for Zhang Mengxue, it's possible that during that period of youth and hormonal chaos, if there was no Qi Xuan, if there was no Zheng Jiawei, Pei Sicheng might have eventually accepted Zhang Mengxue after all they had known each other since middle school.

  However, time is irreversible after all.

  For a long time after that, in school, Zhang Mengxue and Pei Si Cheng became strangers. Even if they met in the corridor of the classroom, they would just brush past each other, one person giving way to the other.

  Zheng Jiawei still gets along well with Zhang Mengxue, possibly because of Zhang Mengxue's relationship, Zheng Jiawei doesn't talk to Pei Si Cheng much either.

  Until then, one thing finally broke this balance.

  ………………

  After dropping out of school, Zixuan had a hard time finding a job because he didn't even have a decent high school diploma. He tried many jobs, such as sticking screen protectors for people outside, at that time, his drawer was full of stacks of screen protector stickers. Later on, he became a laborer who moved heavy objects on construction sites during the day and stuck screen protectors for people in front of night markets at night.

  He is living his life in his own way, because he is not the material for studying. If he had the brain of Pei Si that can study well, with only 30% effort, he could get what others got after paying 120% efforts. He would really think himself as a genius.

  That's right, Pei Si Cheng is indeed blessed by heaven.

  Some people like him, some people chase after him, he also has a good family background and his academic results are very good.

  Zi Xuan thought that heaven had given one person too many good things, and didn't begrudge it at all. Originally, people were divided into three six nine classes, so why be envious of others?

  However, in Qi Xuan's heart, his only obsession was his thoughts of Zhang Mengxue, which became more and more intense.

  Pei Shu had come to find Qi Xuan for dinner several times, but Qi Xuan's phone was out of credit. As a result, the next day, there were 2,000 yuan more in Qi Xuan's phone bill.

  Zi Xuan thinks that this guy, Pei Si Cheng, is really good and has nothing to say about him. However, Zi Xuan never asks Pei Si Cheng for money, and Pei Si Cheng also never mentions it.

  A man's dignity lies there.

  Pei Si Cheng found someone through some connections to introduce some work to Qi Xuan, and Qi Xuan also had some savings under the premise of solving his food and clothing problems.

  Until that night, Qi Xuan finally rested for a night and went to the bar to get drunk. When he was drunk, his longing for Zhang Mengxue was like a batch of grapes in a vineyard, which had been fermented all summer and finally turned into a fragrant wine in autumn.

  That night, he went to the art center where he first met Zhang Mengxue after leaving the bar.

  It was originally just a try at luck, but unexpectedly, Zhang Mengxue really was practicing dance.

  Zhang Mengxue has been coming to the art center every day after finishing her evening self-study, and she even got a key from the teacher of the art center.

  Today is Saturday, so I came a bit earlier and practiced later because I don't have to get up early for self-study tomorrow morning.

  The art center was empty at this time in the evening, the entire floor was hollow, and only Zhang Mengxue was alone in the dance classroom.

  Zhang Mengxue wore a ballet skirt, with a white neck like a swan in the daytime, long legs, and a slender waist, exceptionally soft.

  Zi Xuan, who was leaning against the wall outside, suddenly felt the alcohol in his body start to boil and burn.

  It wasn't that I hadn't had this feeling before, but it was just a small spark in my abdomen, and he had always suppressed the flames. But this time...

  Zhang Mengxue went to the bathroom to take a bath after practicing dance, took off her skirt and turned on the shower, adapted to the water temperature for a while, and suddenly the lights in the bathroom went out with a "pop" sound.

  Looking out of the window on the bathroom door, there is no bright light either.

  Zhang Mengxue thought maybe she had been electrocuted and wanted to quickly finish her shower and go out to take a look.

  Just then, the bathroom door opened.

  A very faint sound, was completely covered up in the sound of rushing water.

  Zhang Mengxue turned off the showerhead and reached for the clothes hanging on the rack, but having adapted to the darkness, she suddenly saw a pair of eyes.

  "Ah..."

  The scream hadn't even fully escaped her throat when it was directly muffled by the person in front of her, who pressed her down onto the floor of the changing room.

  As this person's hands roamed over her body and then entered hers, she felt an unprecedented despair, her hands clawing fiercely at the person's back.

  And Qi Xuan's body had already ignited a fire, igniting the alcohol.

  The whole process lasted for two hours.

  Then came Zheng Jiawei's people.

  Zheng Jiawei was with Zhang Mengxue in a dormitory, originally also coming to accompany Zhang Mengxue to practice dancing every day. However, this time, because her father came to the school to have dinner with several leaders, she needed to accompany him and said that she would go pick you up after it's over.

  However, after the dinner party, Zheng Jiawei's father found Zheng Jiawei to talk about her recent performance and had a conversation that lasted for over an hour. Zheng Jiawei appeared impatient several times, but she couldn't do anything about it. The older generation just likes to give you ideological work from time to time, fearing that children of this age group will go astray.

  It wasn't until after eleven o'clock that Zheng Jiawei formally bid farewell to her father and immediately called Zhang Mengxue.

  However, Zhang Mengxue's phone was unanswered, and after two calls, it was still the same.

  Zheng Jiawei only then realized that something was off. Even if Zhang Mengxue was asleep, she always had the habit of turning off her phone, but now it wasn't turned off and no one answered...

  Zheng Jiawei rushed directly to the side of the road, hailed a taxi and gave the address of the Art Center.

  She arrived at the bathroom of the art center and saw a mess all over the floor, as well as Zhang Mengxue who had completely fainted, and Qi Xuan who was panting on the ground.

  ………………

  "How come?"

  Song Yuqiao's mind was now in a state of intense trepidation, and she couldn't help but cover her mouth as she gazed out at the calm and waveless lake surface, feeling as though a water monster might emerge from it at any moment.

  Pei shook his head, "I never thought something like this would happen. Later, Zheng Jiawei called me, do you know what the first thing she said to me was?"

  Song Yuqiao shook his head.

  Pei Sicheng said: "She said she would get rid of Qi Xuan completely. If I intervened, she'd take me down with him."

  ………………

  Zheng Jiawei was like a raging lion, really, he had lost his temper.

  Zhang Mengxue's matter was deliberately concealed by the school, only saying that there were family matters at home. In fact, she had been hospitalized and underwent a full-body examination.

  Pei Si Cheng did not get first-hand information, and what he learned from Zheng Jia Wei was all exaggerated.

  However, both of them concealed it; the man who had left before Zhang Mengxue woke up was Qi Xuan.

  So Zhang Mengxue thought she was raped by a stranger.

  Before Zheng Jiawei found Qi Xuan, Pei Si had already found him.

  In a room with walls that had only been painted white, a cement floor, and a bleak atmosphere, there was an old television set that couldn't be any older, as well as the essential bed and table, but not even a chair.

  Zixuan lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling with empty eyes.

  After going through this thing yesterday, Qi Xuan locked himself in here for a whole day.

  Pei Si went up and directly gave Qi Xuan a punch, "What the hell were you thinking?! If you like someone, won't you go after them?! Are you sick or something?! This kind of thing will get you sentenced to prison if it gets out!"

  This was Pei Si Cheng's most violent outburst, and he unconsciously cursed.

  Zi Xuan let Pei Si punch him in the mouth until blood came out, then wiped the blood from his mouth without saying a word.

  He was completely under the influence of alcohol and his brain impulses when he did that.

  Zheng Jiawei really means what she says, if she says she wants to torment Qi Xuan to death, then she absolutely will.

  She found Qi Xuan and directly gave him a slap in the face, then turned to several strong men behind her and said: "Get rid of him for me."

  Pei Si Cheng appeared in time and stopped this matter.

  At this moment, in the hospital, Zhang Mengxue's mother also called and said: "Mengxue cut her wrist and is being rescued."

  ………………

  Zhang Mengxue's mother has two daughters, one is Zhang Mengxue and the other is Zhang Menglin.

  Zhang Menglin is at her aunt's house in the countryside, and because Zhang Mengxue's high school life and studies are very stressful, Mother Zhang will come to City C to accompany her.

  Something like this happened, she really didn't expect it at all.

  These days, it was always Zhang's mother who accompanied her daughter.

  Watching her stare at the ceiling every day, from morning to night, without saying a word, until it was time to sleep at night, Zhang's mother covered Zhang Menglin's eyes with an eye mask and said "goodnight", only then did Zhang Mengxue's eyes close.

  As a mother, seeing her daughter become like this, her heart is really torn apart with pain. Every night, she can only wait until Zhang Menglin falls asleep before she starts to cry.

  Zhang's mother was flipping through Zhang Mengxue's school bag during her free time and found a diary inside.

  At that time, locked diaries were very popular. Zhang Mengxue bought one with a four-digit password lock, but she didn't change the password and just used the initial password of four zeros.

  In her diary, Zhang Mengxue recorded her first encounter with Pei Shichen and later on, in almost every short entry of hers, there would be a mention of "him".

  Moreover, Zhang Mu also saw that Zhang Meng Xue recorded the things that happened outside the private room that day. He refused her with heart-wrenching words.

  If it were before this thing happened, Zhang's mother saw this diary, she would definitely throw the diary to the ground in front of Zhang Mengxue and scold her severely.

  But this time, she simply closed her diary and put it back in her backpack, letting out a sigh.

  The next day, when Zhang's mother went out to buy things and returned to the ward, she saw a large patch of fresh blood on the white bed sheet. Zhang Mengxue, who was lying in bed, had no vital signs and her face was pale and terrifying.

  "Oh! Come quick! Get a doctor!"

  By her bed, there was a letter left by Zhang Mengxue with only one sentence: "Mom, I'm sorry, I'll go first."

  Outside the operating room, anxious waiting.

  Until then, Pei Shuai and Zheng Jia Wei arrived.

  In the past few days, Zhang Mu had already met her daughter's two friends and knew that this tall and handsome young man was Pei Si Cheng.

  Especially after reading her daughter's diary, she understood more clearly her daughter's feelings towards this person.

  The operation has not yet ended, the corridor is empty, with only the white light on top of the head shining on the ground, reflecting the light that dazzles the eyes.

  Pei Si leaned against the wall and slightly closed his eyes.

  Suddenly, in front of him, with a plop.

  Zhang Mu unexpectedly knelt down in front of Pei Su.

  Zheng Jiawei was startled, "Auntie Zhang..."

  Pei Si hastily helped up Zhang Mu in front of him, "Auntie, you have something to say, please get up first..."
