"Do you know Zhou Xiaoxiao? What's your relationship with her?" Wang Mengmeng didn't answer. Instead, she widened her eyes and asked loudly.
Her eyes were big to begin with, and when she stared at him, she didn't look like a fiend. Instead, she looked like a beautiful girl with a round face and big eyes.
Wang Mengmeng was struggling on her deathbed. She would rather convince herself that Li Xianyu and Zhou Xiaoxiao had known each other in the past, or that they had some understanding of this matter, than face the chilling speculation.
Li Xianyu spat out a mouthful of green smoke and looked behind Wang Mengmeng. "Look into my eyes."
Wang Mengmeng didn't understand what he meant. She looked at Li Xianyu's eyes out of habit. As the smoke between the two of them rose and dissipated, she saw her own reflection in those bright eyes. She saw the ghostly figure in the school uniform standing behind her …
Zhou Xiaoxiao?!
A huge fear exploded in her heart. She felt like there was a cold snake crawling up her spine. Wang Mengmeng's legs turned to jelly. She screamed and threw herself into Li Xianyu's arms. "Help me …"
Her voice was like that of a passerby trudging through the winter, her whole body shivering.
Li Xianyu lowered his head and looked at her pale face. He wrapped his left arm around Wang Mengmeng's waist. Wang Mengmeng felt relieved. She grabbed Li Xianyu's arm tightly. Her heart was beating like a drum. She begged, "Help me."
Her eyes kept glancing back as she spoke, but she didn't dare to look back.
Wang Mengmeng didn't know if Li Xianyu could save her. She was just asking for help out of instinct. The man beside her gave her an inexplicable sense of security.
Wow, this girl is pretty … Li Xianyu hugged the big-eyed girl and gave her one point in his heart.
"Is there anything you want to tell me?" Li Xianyu asked.
Wang Mengmeng's expression kept changing. She bit her lips and said, "Yes, Zhou Xiaoxiao was locked in the kitchen."
Li Xianyu's eyelids twitched. According to his half-baked law, even if it wasn't murder, he would still be held responsible.
"You're also involved?" he asked in a low voice.
Wang Mengmeng had a strange expression on her face. She nodded and then shook her head. "Zhou Xiaoxiao is unsociable and doesn't like to communicate with others. She's also a bit calculative and always gets into arguments with her classmates over small matters. Over time, she was isolated. Later, her classmates realized that even if they bullied her, no parents came to the school to make a fuss, and the teachers didn't care too much. So she became the target of bullying by the girls in the class. "
All school violence in this world can be attributed to a few factors: poor social skills, light punishments from the school, and irresponsible parents.
Wang Mengmeng suddenly shivered and shrank into Li Xianyu's arms, shivering. At this moment, Zhou Xiaoxiao's vengeful spirit was standing beside her, its pale face almost touching Wang Mengmeng.
"Among them, there were two girls who went too far. Their daily joy was to bring others to bully her. They threatened her that if she dared to tell the teacher, they would find someone to rape her and scratch her face. Zhou Xiaoxiao was afraid. After a long time, she got used to it. They stole her pocket money, kicked her into the female toilet, dragged her to the grass behind the school and beat her … She didn't even know how to resist, she only knew to endure it. Those two girls came from good families. Their parents are businessmen and have some business dealings with my family. I'm also a member of their team, but I've never taken the initiative to bully Zhou Xiaoxiao. But I didn't stop them either. Zhou Xiaoxiao is not likeable to begin with. "
She couldn't see that Zhou Xiaoxiao's face had become very ferocious, and her bloodshot eyes were gradually replaced by cataracts.
When dealing with vengeful spirits, one had to pay attention to two things: First, don't make eye contact with them. Second, don't call them by their names.
If you don't forget, there will be an echo. If you call them by their names, it is very likely to attract vengeful spirits.
Li Xianyu frowned, tightened his muscles, and the power of his Qi and blood surged. Zhou Xiaoxiao seemed to be scalded and quickly floated away.
Wang Mengmeng suddenly felt the coldness recede. The person in front of her seemed to be emitting heat, and her cold body gradually warmed up. She leaned close to Li Xianyu. "That day, after school, everyone left. There were only the four of us. They beat Zhou Xiaoxiao up and pushed her into the bathroom. They said that if she dared to stay in there for one night, they wouldn't bully her anymore. I didn't think it was appropriate, but I didn't want to argue with them because of Zhou Xiaoxiao, so I turned a blind eye … "
"Who knew that Zhou Xiaoxiao would die the next day."
"We were all very scared, so we agreed that no one would say anything about it. We just treated it as an accident when we were playing hide-and-seek."
"After so many years, although they never mentioned Zhou Xiaoxiao again, I could feel that they actually regretted what they did that day. So, under the suggestion of their classmate, they said those words to the bathroom. After saying those words, they probably felt much better. I did as they said and said it. But who knew … "
Tears welled up in Wang Mengmeng's big eyes, and they were about to fall.
Li Xianyu closed his eyes, and imagined the scene when they returned to school.
A group of grown-up youths returned to their alma mater, and their faces were filled with regret for their classmates who died young. Three of the girls stood at the front, and thought back to the mistakes they made when they were young. They were deeply regretful, and hoped that the departed soul could rest in peace.
Rather than saying that they were regretting, Li Xianyu felt that what they said and did was just to make themselves feel better.
They didn't have spiritual eyes, so they couldn't see into the bathroom. Perhaps when they bowed their heads, the young vengeful spirit was standing in front of them.
Everyone said what they needed to say, and did what they needed to do. They turned and left, and continued to move forward into the future.
The moment they turned, it was as if they had been forgiven. Their bodies relaxed, and they laughed and chatted. No one noticed that the departed soul was following behind them.
Li Xianyu opened his eyes, and saw Wang Mengmeng's nervous expression, and saw the vengeful spirit not far away.
Vengeful spirits were unable to communicate with ghosts formed by obsessions. That brother who was still in love had a clear consciousness, because his mind was not tainted by vengeance.
In this matter, the two girls had already met with an accident. Back then, they were still middle school students, so even if they were exposed, they didn't need to take responsibility, and the law would forgive them.
But the karma of the world wouldn't forgive them, so they didn't deserve sympathy.
What about Wang Mengmeng? As a bystander in this matter, shouldn't she pay the price with her life for her coldness back then?
Involuntarily, Li Xianyu thought of the heated debate on the internet, and it wasn't inferior to the debate between the "salty" and "sweet" parties: Helping you is a favor, not helping is a duty.
But if Wang Mengmeng had stood up at that time, or looked for her teacher afterwards, perhaps Zhou Xiaoxiao wouldn't have died.
And the price she might have to pay was following in Zhou Xiaoxiao's footsteps, being isolated by her classmates …
Li Xianyu suddenly chuckled. Why was he thinking so much? He had experienced school bullying before, and there would always be one or two students in his class who were bullied and isolated. However, during those years, who among them, including himself, had stood up for the injustice?
Since most people couldn't do it, why should he ask Wang Mengmeng to do it?
"Close your eyes." He reached out and covered Wang Mengmeng's big eyes, took out the national emblem that was becoming less and less useful, and flicked it.
The national emblem turned into a stream of light, and a faint electric arc passed through Zhou Xiaoxiao's vengeful spirit.
Green smoke that was invisible to the naked eye rose, and the vengeful spirit turned into ashes.
"You, you guys developed so quickly?" Zhao Yi and his girlfriend turned the corner and saw this scene. Beside them was Yang Guangtai, who looked "tired but not in love".
"It's fine now." Li Xianyu patted her shoulder.
Wang Mengmeng ignored Zhao Yi and the other two, and looked around in fear. Naturally, she couldn't see Zhou Xiaoxiao, who had turned into ashes, but she still refused to come out from Li Xianyu's embrace. She boldly used her two small hands to hold Li Xianyu's cheeks. "I want to see your eyes. You, look around."
"Is your roommate so good at flirting?" Zhang Hui was in disbelief.
"Isn't it your best friend flirting with my bro?" Zhao Yi clicked his tongue.
"…" Yang Guangtai.
B * stard, I was the one who saw her first.
Was this the difference between a single dog and a single man?
Wang Mengmeng obviously couldn't escape from Salted Fish's clutches. He didn't like the average-looking girl inside, so this "blind date" was a complete failure.
As expected, it was better to go to the internet cafe to play games. His girlfriend was unnecessary.
After repeating this a few times and confirming that Zhou Xiaoxiao wasn't in Li Xianyu's eyes, Wang Mengmeng heaved a sigh of relief, and collapsed on Li Xianyu's body.
"Will … Will she still follow me?"
"Nope."
"Can I trust you?" Wang Mengmeng put on a weak expression.
"It's up to you whether you believe me or not." Li Xianyu pushed her away and walked towards the private room.
So cool … Wang Mengmeng looked at his back and suddenly had a heart attack.
Dinner continued, and Wang Mengmeng took the initiative to go to Li Xianyu's side, insisting on staying close to him for a sense of security. Zhao Yi and the others smiled ambiguously.
Li Xianyu inexplicably became the target of drinking. Yang Guangtai took the opportunity to take revenge and drank as much as he could. However, he couldn't outdrink Li Xianyu, so he forced Huang Yicong to join them.
"What's wrong with you recently? You're always out of it," Yang Guangtai said.
Huang Yicong didn't say much during the meal. He looked like he had a weak kidney, and his eyes were dull.
Hearing that, he forced a smile, raised his glass and clinked it with Li Xianyu's.
"Are you okay?" Li Xianyu asked with concern.
He shook his head, and his mouth was dry.
