Huang Cheng did not run far. When Ning Meng found him, he was sitting on the steps of the school field, hugging his knees and crying.
Ning Meng sighed and slowly walked toward him.
As soon as she stood beside Huang Cheng, he raised his head. "Sis, why do you think my mom forced me to do this?"
He wiped away his tears and said, "I'm just like this, you know. Even if I repeat my studies, I won't be any smarter. The kids who repeat their studies every year are worse than the ones who passed the first year's exams. "
Ning Meng sat beside Huang Cheng. "I know."
Huang Cheng whispered as he cried, "I understand my mom's feelings. Our neighbor's kid repeated his studies for two years. In his first year, he got into a key university and scored about the same as me. Since he could not get into a good school, he repeated for another year. In his second year, he scored ten points higher than the key university. He felt that he did not perform well enough, so he repeated for another year. In his third year, he got into Beiqing University. When my mom saw him like that, she wanted me to repeat my studies as well. "
"But I'm different from him!"
Ning Meng looked at Huang Cheng and sighed.
Huang Cheng was not a particularly smart kid. He worked very hard, but if he could get into Beiqing University with just hard work, then Beiqing University would not be a higher education institution.
Moreover, even if he managed to get into the university, he would still be inferior to others.
She patted Huang Cheng's shoulder. "You can talk to your mom. She just doesn't want you to be worse than others. She thinks that she's doing this for your own good."
Huang Cheng said in a muffled voice, "I know she's doing this for my own good. My dad passed away when I was young. She brought me up all by herself. She's putting so much pressure on me that I can't even breathe!"
Ning Meng frowned.
Huang Cheng held his head. "Sometimes, I really wish that I could just die!"
Ning Meng quickly said, "You can't have such thoughts!"
Huang Cheng nodded. "She's stubborn. She doesn't listen to me at all."
Ning Meng sighed. "I think you can ask your teacher or I can help you talk to her."
Huang Cheng nodded again.
Seeing that he had calmed down, Ning Meng stood up and said, "Alright, let's secretly sign up for the university. No matter what the final result is, there are still two months left. In this world, who can resist their children's parents?"
Her calm voice and the way she spoke made Huang Cheng feel better. He smiled and looked at Ning Meng with a pair of sparkling eyes.
In fact, he had been under a lot of pressure for the past year. It was all thanks to Ning Meng that he was able to get through this.
If it was not for Ning Meng, he might have already …
Huang Cheng didn't dare to think about it anymore. At that time, he was really going crazy and depressed.
Huang Cheng took a deep breath and suppressed the feeling of powerlessness. Then, he turned his head with a smile.
"Yo! Come and see who it is! "Suddenly, a playful voice sounded.
The two of them turned their heads and saw little fatty Huo Nan's gloomy face. He was standing not far away, swaying as he walked. As he walked, he said, "Why are you two together? And this Ning Meng's cousin, right? Why? Did you cheat on him? "
Ning Meng raised her eyebrows and ignored him.
In the past six months, he had been scolding people in a weird way. Every time, Ning Meng would make him speechless. After a few times, Ning Meng had decided to ignore him.
Ning Meng and Huang Cheng walked around him, planning to look for Teacher Liu to help Huang Cheng fill in his application form. However, when they walked past Huo Nan, he moved his feet and blocked Ning Meng's way again.
Behind him were the students from their class who had just finished their exams. The students surrounded them in a circle.
Ning Meng crossed her arms. "Little fatty, what are you doing?"
Hearing this, Huo Nan's eyes darkened.
Ever since Huo Beichen's results had improved, his status in the family had dropped even further. Every day, when he returned home, he would hear his parents scolding him. "Why can't you be compared to that bastard?"
It was true that his studies were not good, but why did his family only care about his results?
Especially his grandfather. When he heard that Huo Beichen was the top scorer, he planned to bring Huo Beichen home!
The Huo family only had two grandsons, him and Huo Beichen. If he were to bring him home, was he planning to hand over the Huo family to him?!
Huo Nan refused to accept this!
He did not dare to go against his grandfather. When he returned home, he was scolded by his parents. His father even kicked him in the chest, pointing at him and scolding him for being a good-for-nothing!
He said that Huo Beichen had jumped from the last place to the first place …
Huo Nan found out that it was all because of Ning Meng!!
Because of her tutoring Huo Beichen, Huo Beichen's results had improved by leaps and bounds. It was also because of her appearance that the situation had turned around!!
Huo Nan hated Huo Beichen to the core. However, he did not meet him in school. Even if he did, he would not dare to touch him. When he was filling in his application form, his father called him and scolded him. He asked him to go abroad and said that if he did not do well, he would not be given a single cent!!
Huo Nan was filled with anger and had nowhere to vent it. Then, he saw Ning Meng. Of course, he would not miss this opportunity. Even though he had been beaten up by her last time, he was still angry. His anger had made him brave. He glared at Ning Meng, wanting her to pay the price!!
Thinking of this, he suddenly took out his fruit knife and stabbed it at Ning Meng. "Go to hell!!"
As he spoke, the two of them were very close to each other.
In his madness, Huo Nan moved quickly. There were so many students surrounding them. Ning Meng could not turn around and run away immediately.
She could only watch helplessly as the fruit knife stabbed toward her …
She widened her eyes and looked at Huo Nan in disbelief. Was she going to die in Huo Nan's hands?
Before she could think further, she heard a voice coming from the side. "Cousin sister, watch out!!"
Following this sentence, Ning Meng's arm was grabbed by someone. In an instant, a figure rushed in front of her. "Pu!" The sound of a knife piercing into flesh could be heard …
All of this happened in the time it takes for a spark to fly off a flint.
When the knife had really stabbed someone, Huo Nan was scared out of his wits.
Warm liquid dripped down and splashed all over his hand. He lowered his head and saw the thick blood. Huo Nan immediately let go of the knife and took two steps back.
His eyes widened as he looked at Huang Cheng, who was slowly falling to the ground. In a panic, he quickly got up and ran away.
The students who were watching the commotion were even more shocked.
Who would have thought that a moment of anger would cause such a thing to happen …
When Huo Nan was looking for him with the fruit knife, they were not afraid. After all, how could a fruit knife kill someone? At most, it would scare him a little or cause him to bleed a little …
But now …
"Someone's dead!"
Someone suddenly shouted, and everyone scattered in all directions.
Ning Meng stared at Huang Cheng, who was facing her. She saw him frown because of the intense pain. She saw his eyes gradually widen. She could feel his whole body falling on top of her …
She slowly put Huang Cheng down on the ground.
She looked at Huang Cheng's back. Coincidentally, the knife had stabbed into his heart …
Ning Meng panicked.
She did not dare to pull out the knife, but she could still see blood flowing out …
"Huang Cheng!!!"
Ning Meng panicked and screamed in pain. She wanted to shake his body, but she did not dare to. She used all the strength in her body and shouted, "Ambulance! Call an ambulance!!"
Some of the people around took out their phones and started to make calls …
Song Meilan, who was looking for Huang Cheng, saw the commotion and slowly walked over. When she saw Huang Cheng lying on the ground, his body twitching, she was stunned!
She covered her mouth and her vision turned black. She forced herself to shout, "Huang Cheng?"
Huang Cheng's pupils slowly dilated. When he heard this, he seemed to have sensed something. He slowly turned his head and met Song Meilan's eyes.
Song Meilan covered her mouth tightly. Her knees gave way, and she fell to the ground.
Huang Cheng was speechless. He opened his mouth and slowly raised his arm to reach for Song Meilan. He used all the strength in his body to say the last words of his life. "Mom, I'm sorry …"
I tried my best, but I still could not become the son that you are so proud of.
As soon as he said this, his hand fell to the ground.
"Huang Cheng!!!"
Song Meilan cried loudly. She crawled on her knees to Huang Cheng and looked at her son's pale face. She shouted, "Huang Cheng, open your eyes!"
"Huang Cheng, don't scare me!"
"I won't force you anymore. Can you open your eyes and look at me?"
"Huang Cheng, as long as you open your eyes, I won't make you repeat your studies. You can go study in the field that you want. Electronic information, right? Okay, I won't scold you if you don't go to school … Son, I beg you, don't scare me, I beg you … "
By the time the ambulance arrived, it was already too late.
Huang Cheng's heart had been pierced. He died on the spot, leaving no chance for anyone.
Song Meilan fainted. When she woke up, she did not eat, drink or speak. She just stared blankly in front of her. On the day of the funeral, when Huang Cheng was being carried away in the coffin, Song Meilan suddenly went crazy.
She used her body to block the people who were going to carry Huang Cheng away. She hugged the coffin and shouted, "Don't take my son away! He's not dead!
Don't let him leave me!!
If you guys take him away, I won't have a son anymore!! "
Ning Meng was wearing a white dress. She had lost five kilograms of weight from crying over the past few days. She felt guilty and blamed herself, but she still managed to complete the funeral.
She took care of Song Meilan. Song Meilan, who knew the truth, did not say that she hated her, but neither did she say that she forgave her.
Ning Meng knew that no mother would ever forgive her …
"Son, Huang Cheng, I won't force you anymore. Come back. As long as you're healthy, I won't ask for anything else!"
Huo Beichen carried the coffin and tried to comfort her, but Song Meilan did not listen.
The rest of the people were stopped.
Seeing this, Ning Meng took two steps forward and knelt in front of Song Meilan. She kowtowed to Song Meilan. "Mom! You don't have a son anymore, but you'll have a daughter in the future! Mom, I'll be your daughter from now on! I'll take care of you!! "
She kowtowed again. "Mom!! I beg you, let Huang Cheng rest in peace! He loved beautiful people so much. If he doesn't go to the ground, his body will rot and he won't look good!! "
Hearing this, Song Meilan finally came back to her senses.
Seeing that she had stopped making a fuss, the people around her helped her down. She had no strength left, so they did not let her send the coffin off. Instead, they helped her into the room.
Ning Meng wore mourning clothes and followed behind the coffin. When Huang Cheng was buried, she looked at the wooden coffin and saw Huang Cheng's face in front of her.
Huang Cheng … He was such a bright person. He followed her and called her cousin. He would even act coquettishly when he did not know how to solve the questions …
But this person was gone!!
He would never appear again!!
Ning Meng felt as if a knife was twisting in her heart. Her knees gave way, and she knelt down again.
She could not make a sound. Her chest was stuffy, but she raised her head and saw the coffin being buried. From then on, they were separated from each other.
In the end, when there was only a mound left, Ning Meng finally shouted, "Huang Cheng, rest in peace!"
Huo Beichen supported her so that she could stand up.
Huo Beichen looked at her and wanted to carry her, but she pushed him away.
Ning Meng looked at Huo Beichen and said, "It's my fault. It's all my fault … Why did I have to provoke Huo Nan … Why did I come here …"
If she had not traveled eight years ago, then Huang Cheng would not have gotten into trouble.
She was so sad that she wanted to vomit. She was so sad that whenever she saw Song Meilan, she would hate herself to death …
She had traveled eight years ago, thinking that she had saved the world. She had saved Huo Beichen, Ning Ke, and even Huang Cheng …
But the truth was, Huo Beichen did not need her to get rid of his depression. He might have been able to escape from Zhang Baofu without her. Huang Cheng … did not need her.
Why was she here?
Why did she travel through time?
She was a sinner!
These thoughts lingered in her mind, making it hard for her to breathe. She staggered back to the Huang family's residence.
As soon as she walked in, she saw a cloud of smoke rushing toward her.
The people around her shouted, "Fire! Put out the fire! "
As the fire spread, everyone ran out of the house. Ning Meng was stunned when she saw the location of the fire.
It was as if she was suddenly injected with strength. She pushed Ning Ke away and quickly ran forward.
The Huang family was on fire!
"You can't go in! The fire is too strong! "
As soon as she reached the door, someone grabbed her arm. An aunty neighbor cried, "I've been tricked! I've been tricked by Song Meilan! She said she wanted to eat something and asked me to get it for her. But when I came out, she set the house on fire! Sob sob sob … "
Ning Meng staggered.
Song Meilan was in the house?
This news made her rush into the fire without any hesitation!
Before Huang Cheng died, he had left her with these words. "Take care of my mom."
If Song Meilan was buried in the fire, she would not be able to face Huang Cheng!
"Meng Meng!"
She rushed into the fire. The heat waves from the fire were overwhelming, but she did not care. She heard these two words in the fire. She turned around and saw Huo Beichen chasing after her.
Ning Meng's eyes narrowed. She pushed Huo Beichen and shouted, "Go!"
"No, you get out. I'm going to save Aunt Meilan!" Huo Beichen was determined.
Ning Meng shouted, "Go! Get out! Don't let more people die, no more people die!! "
She could not cry. When she said this, her eyes were wide open and bloodshot.
Huo Beichen stood rooted to the ground.
He knew that Ning Meng was feeling guilty …
But …
Without another word, he turned around and went into the bedroom.
Seeing this, Ning Meng could only follow him into the room. Song Meilan was sitting in the room, smiling at the fire. When the two of them rushed into the room, she was stunned. "Hurry up and leave! Don't save me! I deserve to die! If I had not pushed my son too hard, he would not have died …"
Ning Meng's heart skipped a beat.
She did not care and rushed over to pull Song Meilan up forcefully. Just as Huo Beichen was about to lead them away, Song Meilan started to struggle frantically. The pendant in her hand suddenly fell out and rolled on the ground.
Song Meilan shouted, "My Huang Cheng! That's Huang Cheng's necklace! Let me go! I want to find the necklace … I want to be with Huang Cheng and never be separated …"
The fire was getting fiercer.
The beams on the floor were about to break. Ning Meng saw this and pushed Song Meilan toward Huo Beichen. "Bring her out. I'll go and pick it up!"
Huo Beichen shouted, "No!"
"Listen to me!!" Ning Meng shouted hysterically. Her skinny face was covered in soot, but her eyes were determined. "Huo Beichen, if you don't want me to regret this, bring her out!! If we waste any more time, all three of us will die!! "
"Quick!!"
Ning Meng shouted and ran inside. "Bring her out!!"
Huo Beichen listened to her and thought about how she had been living a life worse than death.
If anything happened to Song Meilan, she would never forgive herself.
Huo Beichen gritted his teeth and carried Song Meilan out.
After escaping from the fire, he passed Ning Meng to the people beside him and continued to rush into the fire!
Bam!!
The roof beam had fallen, cutting off the only way out!!
Huo Beichen wanted to rush in, but Su Ye grabbed his arm. "Lord Chen, you can't go in!!"
The whole house was about to collapse!
Huo Beichen shouted, "Let me go!!"
If they were going to die, then they would die together!!
He could not just stand by and watch her die!!
However, Su Ye and the rest of the onlookers had already grabbed him. Outside the fire, Ning Ke, who wanted to rush in to save Ning Meng, was also restrained.
At this time, Ning Meng had found the necklace. When she rushed out, she saw the situation. Seeing that all the escape routes were blocked, she knew that she would not be able to get out.
At this moment, she thought about what would happen eight years later …
She thought about Huo Beichen and Ning Ke's speechless expression every time she mentioned Huo Beichen's ex-girlfriend.
Realization suddenly dawned on her.
She did not say it because she was afraid that Huang Cheng's incident would hurt her again …
Finally, she understood everything!!
Boom!!
At this moment, the fire spread and engulfed the whole room!
At the moment when the fire engulfed her, Ning Meng threw the necklace out without hesitation!
She shouted, "Huo Beichen, don't be sad! I don't belong to this world! I won't die!! Wait for me! Wait for me! I'll be back!! "
Finally, she had finished writing the main plot. This chapter was the most torturous chapter in the whole book. However, to Ning Meng and Huo Beichen, they had never misunderstood that it was not torturous. So, when I said that this was a sweet novel, it was not a lie, right? Ahhh, four thousand words and five thousand words! Give me recommendation votes and monthly votes!!!
