After finally getting rid of Lin Yan, Ye Zi felt as if all the energy in her body had been sucked out. She held onto the wall and "escaped" from the house.
Ye Zi finally realized her mistake. She shouldn't have let Lin Yan stay in her house from the beginning.
The pavilion closest to the water enjoys the moonlight first. This Yue … was a little embarrassed and miserable.
Although Chen Mo didn't let Ye Zi investigate Du Rui's murder case, she didn't want to give up. At least, she never backed down in the face of the truth.
Her father once said that if she suddenly turned around when she was right in front of the truth, then she would never know the truth.
Ye Zi had always adhered to this principle and walked on the path of finding the truth.
Ring, ring, ring …
As she stood on the road to hail a taxi, her phone suddenly rang. She took out the phone and glanced at it. It was a call from Yao Anmian.
Ye Zi answered the phone without hesitation. "Hello, how's the investigation going?"
"I've done a thorough investigation. Xu Zian returned to Binhai City's First High School a year ago and worked as a physical education teacher for three months at Minxiang High School. However, for unknown reasons, he left Minxiang High School."
"Alright, I got it."
Ye Zi hung up the phone. It seemed that she needed to talk to Xu Zian.
She hailed a taxi and headed straight to First High School.
The fire of July had receded.
The heat of summer and early autumn always brought a sense of comfort to people. The autumn rain a few days ago had knocked down a lot of yellowing leaves. The taxi sped along the road. The trees on both sides of the road flashed past Ye Zi's eyes.
The scenery of early autumn always gave people a different kind of beauty. However, this kind of beauty belonged exclusively to early autumn. That young girl who was like a flower in her prime could no longer be seen.
Along the way, Ye Zi looked absent-minded. The image of Du Rui lying in the rain kept appearing in her mind.
She pressed her brows together to stop herself from thinking about it.
A moment later, the taxi stopped outside the First High School. Ye Zi paid the driver and got out of the car. She walked quickly towards the teachers' building.
Xu Zian was absent-minded all day in his office. Du Rui's death didn't affect him. Instead, he was more worried about his job.
If the school found out that he was in a relationship with a female student, he would probably be expelled.
Previously, when Xu Zian was in Min Xiang High School, he was questioned by the school leaders because of his relationship with a female student. The school was worried that the matter would blow up, so they asked Xu Zian to resign on his own.
His family had just used some connections to arrange for him to go to Binhai City No.1 High School, but he had reverted to his old ways.
And this time, something happened to the girl.
For the entire morning, he wished he could pull out all his hair.
"Mr. Xu, let's go to the cafeteria together." Gao Yang, who was also a physical education teacher, patted Xu Zian's shoulder.
But his action gave Xu Zian a big fright. "Squeak!" He moved his body backward. The chair rubbed against the floor, making an ear-piercing sound.
"Mr. Xu, are you okay?" Gao Yang looked at Xu Zian in shock.
Xu Zian smiled awkwardly and shook his head. "I … I'm fine. I don't … I don't have an appetite. I don't want to eat anymore. You can go by yourself."
As he spoke, he picked up his phone from the desk and walked quickly to the door. He suddenly stopped and turned to Gao Yang. "Mr. Gao, I'm not feeling well. Could you please help me apply for leave this afternoon?"
"Oh, okay." Gao Yang nodded and watched Xu Zian leave.
After walking out of the teachers' building, Xu Zian felt a tightness in his chest. It was as if a huge boulder was pressed against it, making it hard for him to breathe.
He walked quickly to the school gate and suddenly saw Ye Zi get out of the taxi. He turned and ran to the back door of the school.
Ye Zi had just walked into First High School when she saw Xu Zian running with his back facing her from afar.
She quickly chased after him and shouted, "Xu Zian, stop right there."
Xu Zian couldn't wait to hide from Ye Zi, so why would he listen to her? He obediently stood still. He went around the teachers' building and quickly ran toward the back door.
He was a physical education teacher, so his physical fitness was excellent. In the blink of an eye, he was already 200 meters behind Ye Zi.
Poor Ye Zi. She was out of breath from running. With one hand on her knee, she pointed at Xu Zian's back with the other. "You, you, stop right there …"
Xu Zian ran faster and faster. Seeing that he was about to run out of her sight, Ye Zi quickly chased after him.
Unfortunately, Xu Zian didn't expect that the back door of the school would be locked today. He struggled hard against the door and cursed, "Damn it!"
"Run! Run! Let's see where you can run to!"
Ye Zi put her hands on her waist and panted heavily. Step by step, she walked toward Xu Zian.
Xu Zian frowned. He looked at Ye Zi and then looked at the door behind him. Then, he climbed up the metal door and decided to jump over it.
Ye Zi saw this and quickly walked forward. She grabbed Xu Zian's belt and pulled hard, pulling Xu Zian down from the metal door.
"Plop!" Xu Zian's butt had an intimate contact with the ground.
Ye Zi leaned over and grabbed Xu Zian's collar. She stared at him with wide eyes. "What did you do to make you hide from me like this?!"
Xu Zian struggled free from Ye Zi's hand. "I didn't! I didn't!"
"You didn't?!" Ye Zi raised her eyebrows. She sat next to Xu Zian and punched Xu Zian's chest.
"Cough, cough, cough …" Xu Zian coughed a few times. "You're still so rude."
"Don't talk nonsense. Tell me the truth. What's your relationship with Du Rui?" Ye Zi stared at him.
His cold eyes stared at Xu Zian without blinking.
Xu Zian pursed his lips. Looking at Ye Zi's appearance, he thought that she should know about his relationship with Du Rui. He sighed and said, "Du Rui is my girlfriend."
"Girlfriend?!" Ye Zi's face darkened. "How old is she? You …"
"Ai!" Ye Zi sighed and shook her head helplessly. "I don't want to scold you, but how could you …"
Xu Zian was like a child who had done something wrong. He hung his head dejectedly.
"Forget it. I'm not here to talk to you about this." Ye Zi stood up and stretched out her hand in front of Xu Zian. "Get up."
Xu Zian looked up at Ye Zi. His eyes were slightly trembling.
In middle school, Ye Zi was the leader of the girls. Although she had a sweet appearance, she had a violent personality. She was often called a raging Lolita by her classmates. At that time, as long as a girl was bullied in class, Ye Zi would be the first one to stand up.
When Xu Zian was in school, he had a crush on Ye Zi. However, because he was timid, he …
Ye Zi glanced at him and said in a low voice, "If you still want to keep your job, you'd better find a quiet place to talk."
Xu Zian frowned and nodded. He took Ye Zi's hand and stood up. Then, he followed Ye Zi out of the First High School.
In a cafe near the school, Ye Zi found a quiet corner and ordered two cups of coffee.
Ye Zi picked up the coffee cup and took a sip. She looked up at Xu Zian. "Tell me, what happened between you and Du Rui?!"
Xu Zian was a little hesitant. He lowered his head and didn't say a word.
"Clatter!"
Ye Zi put the coffee cup on the table and said in a low voice, "She's already dead. What else do you want to hide?"
"Du Rui's death has nothing to do with me." Xu Zian looked up at Ye Zi.
Ye Zi glanced at him. "I know. I can tell from the look on your face that you don't have the guts to kill someone."
Xu Zian was hit by her words, and he looked a little awkward.
Ye Zi sighed. "I don't mean anything by it. You were always afraid of me when we were in school. Do you still remember that time when you were bullied by a senior from the third year of middle school? Didn't I stand up for you?"
Xu Zian scratched his head embarrassedly and smiled. "You still remember?"
"How could I forget?" Ye Zi smiled. "That was the first time I saw a boy cry."
Xu Zian's lips twitched slightly. "It's all in the past. Don't embarrass me."
"I'm too lazy to embarrass you." Ye Zi glared at Xu Zian. "I just want to know what happened between you and Du Rui."
Xu Zian pondered for a moment before he slowly said, "Actually, I restrained myself in the beginning, but Du Rui was too proactive. And she, she …"
Xu Zian's face suddenly turned red. He quickly picked up the coffee cup and took a sip to hide his embarrassment.
"Did you have sex?"
"Pfft!"
Xu Zian spat out the mouthful of coffee he just drank from his mouth at Ye Zi's bluntness.
Fortunately, Ye Zi was agile. Otherwise, Xu Zian's big mouthful of coffee would have sprayed on her face.
Xu Zian's face was red as he shyly looked at Ye Zi. He looked like a parent of a student who caught a student in puppy love.
He was silent for a long time before he nodded to Ye Zi.
Ye Zi slowly closed her eyes and pointed at Xu Zian. She had a look of exasperation. "You, you. What should I say to you?!"
"Yes, she was the one who initiated it. It has nothing to do with me …"
Xu Zian's voice was very soft like a mosquito.
"At this time, what's the use of pushing the blame away?" Ye Zi glared at Xu Zian and said in a low voice, "Who else in school knows about you?"
Xu Zian blinked and shook his head at Ye Zi. It seemed that he didn't understand what Ye Zi meant.
Ye Zi said directly, "What I mean is, do you have a love rival?!"
"Love rival?"
Xu Zian thought about it. "I don't know. But Du Rui is so beautiful and her grades are excellent. I think there should be a boy who has a crush on her."
Xu Zian suddenly thought of something and added, "Oh yes, I heard from Du Rui that there is a boy in her class who likes her and often writes love letters to her."
"Writes love letters?!"
Ye Zi frowned. Her fair and long fingers gently touched the coffee cup in front of her. After a moment, she looked up at Xu Zian and asked, "What's his name?!" Still worried about not being able to find the latest chapter? Amway public account: r/d/444
