Li Ying was indeed Zhou Li's classmate and close friend for many years. She knew a lot about her family. Seeing that Qu Sen was depressed, she explained. It turned out that Zhou Li's mother didn't want Zhou Li to find a younger boyfriend. The most important reason was that she didn't want Zhou Li to repeat her mistakes.
"Repeat her mistakes" didn't mean that Zhou Li's parents' marriage wasn't happy. It was because Zhou Li's mother sacrificed a lot to take care of her husband, Zhou Li's father, who was younger than her.
Otherwise, Zhou Li's mother believed that her achievements today were far from just being an administrative cadre of a scientific research institute, while Zhou Li's father became a well-known military expert.
For a pure technical talent, it was very painful to not be able to engage in scientific research and have to switch to administrative work in order to take care of her family.
Zhou Li's mother knew that she didn't have a chance, so she pinned all her hopes on her daughter. When Zhou Li was still in high school, she put in a lot of effort to help her plan the direction of her future development.
When she focused on the importance of computers in the future, she made up her mind to cultivate her daughter into an excellent software engineer.
It was because of this expectation that when she found that her daughter, who was still in the learning stage, was showing signs of falling in love, although she didn't show it at the time, her first feeling was rejection.
But considering that Zhou Li was actually 23 years old, although she was still a child in her eyes, in terms of the policy, she was old enough to get married and have children late.
So she suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart and began to investigate the suspect, Qu Sen.
His family was okay, and Zhou Li's mother didn't care much about his financial situation. His behavior was also okay. From some details of his eating and talking, it could be seen that he had a good upbringing.
But his education was a problem, and it was even bigger if he wanted to go to the frontline army in the future.
If the two of them were really together, one would do experiments and research all day long, and the other would live in the army. They wouldn't see each other for a long time. Who would take care of the family? What if they had children in the future?
In the end, he calculated their ages and found that Qu Sen was actually two years younger than his daughter. Although Qu Sen insisted that it was one year and three months younger, rounding it up to one year, Qu Sen still believed that it was one year and three months younger.
When she thought about the sacrifice she made for Zhou Li's father, Zhou Li's mother was already very dissatisfied in her heart.
But fortunately, because of the "cheating" incident, the dean had some understanding of Qu Sen, and he had a good evaluation of Qu Sen. In addition, Zhou Li's mother contacted Qu Sen's tutor, Jiang Mei, behind Zhou Li's back. Jiang Mei also praised Qu Sen, which made Zhou Li's mother feel a little better.
But the root of her dissatisfaction with Qu Sen was still there, but Zhou Li's mother looked at her daughter, who had been playing dumb with her, and couldn't say anything. Her husband's project team had a precious five-day holiday.
The family of three couldn't reunite at school, and Zhou Li couldn't go back to the nursing school. So after accompanying her daughter at school for two days, Zhou Li's mother could only somewhat gloomily rush home to see if her husband was about to die of weight loss because he forgot to eat and sleep.
After her mother left, Lady Zhou could finally breathe a sigh of relief. It was the New Year, and she still had to play dumb all day. Life was very difficult.
Qu Sen dragged his "sick body" and stood in front of the school gate with Zhou Li and Li Ying to see them off. Watching Zhou Li's mother drive the little white car and disappear from sight, his heart also relaxed.
"I say, shouldn't the two of you treat me to a big meal? I've helped put in a lot of good words these days." Classmate Li Ying suddenly said.
"What good words? What did you help with? " Lady Zhou asked Li Ying inexplicably. But the traces of her acting were very obvious, and her standard was greatly reduced.
"Eat! How can one meal be enough? Just order whatever you want to eat. "Qu Sen said heroically. But as soon as his voice fell, his calf was fiercely kicked by someone.
"It's none of your business. Don't hang around in front of me in the future!"
Lady Zhou said very decisively. But half an hour later, the three of them appeared in Professor Wu's studio again to continue their previous work.
From the moment the three of them entered the studio, it seemed to be the same as before. They alternated joking, bickering, arguing, and ridiculing. But Li Ying, who was sandwiched in the middle, clearly felt the changes in Qu Sen and Zhou Li.
It was not that the two of them had become intimate, but it was the opposite. Whether it was joking or normal communication, it seemed that they had suddenly become a lot more polite.
On the night of the 29th, Zhou Li was worried to death at first. But when she saw that Qu Sen was safe and sound, her heart relaxed, and she was taken advantage of.
Now, Lady Zhou was a bit reserved, and she was not used to the new changes in the relationship between the two of them. Plus, she had no experience in dating, so she became a bit helpless. She did not know how to get along with Qu Sen in the future.
Under normal circumstances, Qu Sen would definitely take the initiative. But because of the situation with Zhou Li's mother, Qu Sen was a bit uncertain about Zhou Li's attitude towards him, so he waited for Zhou Li to give him a clear signal.
After observing, he found that Zhou Li's expression and language were a bit unnatural, which made Qu Sen a bit nervous. He could not figure out her attitude.
Two days passed in this awkward situation. On the fourth day of the Chinese New Year, Zheng Zhiqiu drove his son, Zheng Zerui, to the school. He brought a lot of nutritional products for the injured Qu Sen and gave three big red packets. This way, he expressed his gratitude to the three students who saved his precious baby.
In fact, Zheng Zhiqiu wanted to come the next day, but Zheng Zerui was frightened and had a high fever, which delayed the trip.
Qu Sen and the other two accepted the red packets. It was not good to ask them to take the nutritional products back, so they also accepted them. But the three of them did not accept the red packets anyway.
Since they came to thank people, Zheng Zhiqiu could not put down the things, say a few words of thanks, and leave. The four of them talked about the kidnapping that day.
About the kidnapping, Zhou Li called Deputy Director Hu of the Municipal Public Security Bureau to learn about it after his mother left. The first of the three kidnappers was beaten down by Li Ying with a crowbar. His skull was fractured, he had a severe concussion, and there was some slight bleeding in his skull. Although his life was not in danger now, because the concussion was too serious, a normal interrogation could not be carried out.
The first one could not be interrogated now. The second one, who was beaten by Li Ying with all her strength, could not be interrogated forever. Because he was declared dead after more than four hours in the Public Security Hospital, he was still lying in the hospital morgue.
In contrast, the kidnapper who was beaten by Qu Sen with iron sand on his back was the least injured.
Although Li Ying killed one of the kidnappers, the situation was very urgent at that time. Qu Sen was injured and could die at any time, so Li Ying's action was undoubtedly justified as self-defense.
The school was worried that Li Ying would not be able to accept it psychologically, so they did not let her know at all. After "justifiable self-defense" was determined, they directly blocked Li Ying's news.
But Zheng Zhiqiu was not clear about this situation. She only knew that of the three kidnappers who kidnapped her son, two were seriously injured and one was dead. When they were chatting, she said, "It's good that they died. Even if scum like them were not beaten to death, they should be dragged out and shot."
When Li Ying heard this, she was stunned. Zhou Li had been hiding it from Li Ying. Looking at her face, she did not know what to say. Qu Sen quickly said, "The kidnapper who was shot by himself died before he could be saved."
When Zheng Zhiqiu saw the situation, she realized that she had said something wrong. She was afraid that the more she said, the more mistakes she would make, so she quickly took her son and left.
Li Ying was not stupid. On the night of the 29th, the two kidnappers who were hit by her crowbar were completely unconscious until they were carried away by the ambulance. Especially the second kidnapper, there was an obvious dent in his head. When he was carried away, his nose was still bleeding.
When the kidnapper who was shot by Qu Sen was carried back, although he was lying motionless on the ground, he was obviously very conscious.
Therefore, although Qu Sen stopped her, Li Ying still realized that she might have killed someone.
Li Ying realized it, but when she saw Zhou Li and Qu Sen's nervous expressions, she did not say anything to confirm it. She suddenly became very quiet, and her mind wandered from time to time.
When she was eating, she suddenly stopped eating after a few mouthfuls. In Professor Wu's office, Qu Sen typed a few lines of code incorrectly, but she stared blankly at the monitor without any reaction.
For the next few nights, Li Ying was frequently awakened by nightmares. Zhou Li knew that this could not go on.
However, she and Qu Sen did not study psychology, so they did not dare to say anything. On the eighth day of the Chinese New Year, Gao Bo wanted to go home. The two of them discussed in private. Li Ying could not stay in school every day. It was the off-season for shopping in the business district, so there were not many places to shop.
It just so happened that Qu Sen's stitches had been removed, so the two of them decided to bring Li Ying to Qu Sen's house to play and relax.
Gao Bo's parents respected "high-level intellectuals" very much. After they found out that their son and his classmate were wrongly accused, these two girls helped to redress the situation. (Gao Bo was afraid that his family would be worried, so he did not say in detail.) Therefore, Zhou Li and Li Ying's arrival was very welcome.
Originally, because Qu Sen and Ke Lan came, eight dishes were prepared. Now, it was directly increased to twelve dishes, which was basically the standard of a wedding banquet.
The dinner was very lively. Everyone chatted happily, and Li Ying's expression finally became more lively.
