Chapter 118 The Research Maniac Who Lost His Child (4) (1/2)
Wang Xuan didn't react for a moment.
In his memory, no one he met would hug him as intimately as this old lady. Even Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin only touched his head.
The old lady's embrace was very sudden, but strangely warm.
After the old lady hugged him, she took out a handful of candy from her pocket and handed it forward with her wrinkled hands trembling slightly: "Come, Xuanxuan, eat candy, eat candy."
Wang Xuan took it. The candy wrappers of these candies were very beautiful. At first glance, they were more expensive than those sold in supermarkets. He raised his head somewhat at a loss, and subconsciously looked at Lin Shiheng and Zhou Chuchu, his eyes full of helplessness, not knowing what to do.
"Take it, this candy was originally prepared for you. This is my wife's grandmother."
Lin Shiheng smiled and introduced to him: "She will come here to live for a while, you can call her great-grandmother."
Zhou Chuchu looked at this scene and her nose was sour, and she lowered her head slightly to cover her red eyes.
When Xuanxuan was young, she was worried that eating too much candy would cause tooth decay, so she was always reluctant to give him candy. The little guy loved sweets, so he whined and begged for candy from his mother. Zhou Chuchu refused to give it to him, but he was small but very smart, so he changed his target and acted like a rogue to the good-talking great-grandmother.
The old lady had suffered from the hardships of eating and drinking when she was young, so she couldn't stand the younger generation not being able to eat what they wanted. She always brought candy to the child without telling her granddaughter, so Xuanxuan would shout for candy as soon as he saw the great-grandmother.
Now, ten years after the child was lost, seeing grandma giving Wang Xuan candy again, Zhou Chuchu, who had always thought she could control her emotions well, couldn't help herself.
She turned around in a somewhat embarrassed manner, and said in a hoarse voice: "Grandma hasn't packed her things yet, I'll go pack them first."
Lin Shiheng patted her shoulder, silently comforted her, and watched her turn around and leave in a hurry.
Wang Xuan also noticed Zhou Chuchu's departure. Mrs. Lin was always elegant and gentle. Such a hasty departure made him feel a little strange, but the next moment, this insignificant strangeness was dispelled by the old lady's expectant gaze.
He was always a little shy in front of the elders who were friendly to him. He took out a pen and paper and wrote on it, and then handed it over: [Great grandma, hello, my name is Wang Xuan. ]
"Hey! OK, OK."
The smile on the old lady's face turned into heartache when she saw that the child could only write to respond because he couldn't speak. When Wang Xuan finished writing and raised his head to hand over the paper, he quickly put on a smile. After reading it, she hugged Wang Xuan tightly again, as if she was afraid that the child would run away if she let go. The unique nagging of the old lady sounded in Wang Xuan's ears.
"Look at how thin you are. You feel like you are just bones. Be good. Grandma has made a tonic soup. It will be ready soon. I put the tonic herbs that the doctor said. It tastes good. I guarantee you will like it."
Her attitude was too intimate and too natural. Lin Shiheng next to her also had a normal look on his face. Wang Xuan, who was flattered at first, gradually relaxed.
Next, as the old lady said, the soup she had stewed with great effort was ready, and she warmly invited Wang Xuan to drink it together.
Wang Xuan's refusal was useless. Even if he felt that this was a family dinner and he was really out of place, Mr. Lin, Mrs. Lin and the old lady were all looking forward to his participation. When he was pulled to a seat by the happy old lady, Mrs. Lin also smiled and brought a bowl of steaming soup. When Mr. Lin next to him kept asking him to eat more, the fifteen-year-old boy almost had an illusion that they were a family.
He had the warmest meal in his memory. The tonic soup tasted really good and was very nourishing.
Wang Xuan had been exposed to cold weather when he was a child, and he had to set up a stall in the cold wind every day. Therefore, no matter how much he soaked his feet at night, he would still be woken up by the cold feet in the middle of the night. I don’t know if it was because of these nourishing soups that he did not wake up in the middle of the night, but slept well until dawn.
In the morning, Wang Xuan got up and washed up, opened the door and pushed the cart out. He saw not only Mrs. Lin who was setting up the drawing board, but also the old lady standing next to Mrs. Lin with something in her hand.
The old lady saw Wang Xuan at a glance, her eyes lit up, and she quickly walked over and put the thing in her hand directly on Wang Xuan’s ear.
"Xuanxuan, it’s cold, you wear this earmuff, don’t freeze your ears again."
Wang Xuan was still pushing the cart, and couldn’t make gestures. He could only look at the old lady with his slightly round eyes helplessly, and the old lady’s heart softened.
She continued to chatter like yesterday: "Are you tired on the road? Look at you, kid, you don't wear more clothes in such a cold day. Shi Heng, take out your black coat, it's warm, put it on the child."
This time, Wang Xuan didn't care about his hands and was still pushing the cart. He hurriedly shook his head and refused. He usually didn't like to make a sound, even if it was just silent gestures. Compared with keeping his mouth shut and gesturing, the sound of "ah ah ah" that only belongs to the dumb will attract more attention.
But in front of the Lin family, he didn't seem to have the feeling of hiding his weaknesses.
The old lady understood what the young man wanted to express. She frowned and grumbled in disapproval. From this look, it can be seen that she and Zhou Chuchu are worthy of being grandparents and grandchildren. They frowned in the same way.
"What's there to push? Look at your hands. They are so cold. It's terrible if you get frozen. Be good. Grandma loves you. If you feel embarrassed, just come to have dinner with me in the evening. I'm old and I just want more people to accompany me."
While talking, Lin Shiheng had taken out the black down jacket from the house. He took the car with one hand and handed the down jacket over with the other. When Wang Xuan waved his hand to refuse, he smiled helplessly and said gently: "This is a kind gift from the old man. Xuanxuan, you can wear it and return it to me in the evening."
Wang Xuan then put on the down jacket hesitantly. Fearing that he would dirty Mr. Lin's clothes, he took off his original coat first and then carefully put on this down jacket.
After putting it on, he felt a little strange. He thought Mr. Lin looked much taller than him, and his figure was not as thin as his. He thought that this coat would be much larger. Unexpectedly, he found that it fit him well and did not feel loose at all.
This was the first time Wang Xuan wore a down jacket. It was warm and much more airtight than the one he was wearing before.
Seeing the child put it on, the old lady smiled with satisfaction, "That's right, little kid, keep warm."
She told him to be careful on the road before letting Wang Xuan leave.
The old lady stood there, watching the thin figure pushing the cart away, and the kind smile on her face gradually turned into sadness.
"Shi Heng, when can we tell Xuan Xuan? Such a young child, how can he endure this hardship."
When she thought that Wang Xuan had to get up so early every day, push the cart for an hour and a half to go to the city, and push the cart back in the cold wind at eleven or twelve o'clock in the evening, the old lady felt a pang of pain in her heart.
Her son Xuanxuan should be loved by his family and should be pampered in the palm of his hand. How could he live such a hard life?
As for how to find Wang Xuan, Lin Shiheng did not elaborate, and the old lady and Zhou Chuchu did not ask. Since they met the three soldiers last time, they had some guesses in their hearts, especially the text message. Lin Shiheng must have done something in the past ten years to find Wang Xuan in such a big country like Hua.
Because of this, the old lady automatically imagined that Lin Shiheng had his own difficulties, and her attitude towards him was not as domineering as before, and she could say a few soft words from time to time.
At this moment, she wiped her tears and said, "I think this child likes you very much. He looks at you as if he is looking at his parents. He is obedient and lovable. He refused to come back before, and he must have suffered too much. I know what kind of character this child has. He will be very happy if others treat him well. He didn't want to recognize him before, and he must be afraid that we would treat him badly. Now if we tell him the truth, he will definitely be happy."
Lin Shiheng also felt that the old lady was right. This child really liked them. Zhou Chuchu said that he thought they were leaving and gave them a parting gift. When he gave the gift, he was reluctant to leave but still forced a smile.
Zhou Chuchu felt even more sad. She held the scarf in her hands and cried again.
"Okay."
He agreed: "Let's find a suitable time to tell everything. If Xuanxuan can't accept it for the time being, we will still compensate him here."
The old lady was happy again, and even her whole spirit was different. She almost entered the house with high morale, intending to prepare for the reunion dinner.
And Lin Shiheng was calculating the time. It should be the time for Wang Xuan's first love to draw a line with him in the next few days.
As a father, he naturally couldn't watch Wang Xuan being bullied outside.
He turned and went into the house, suggesting to his wife:
"Let's go to the city to buy some clothes for the child, go shopping, and pick him up in the afternoon. Didn't he say before that the students always get out of school at the gate of No. 1 Middle School in the afternoon?"
Wang Xuan was setting up a stall at the gate of No. 1 Middle School. It was school time now. There were no exams recently. The students walked leisurely, and walked into the school in groups of three or two. There were also students who didn't have breakfast at home and went to the small shops or stalls near the school to buy food.
Wang Xuan always uses enough ingredients, and he is also the cleanest of all the stalls, so his business is better than other stalls. Students gather in front of the cart and order the food they want, and Wang Xuan quickly prepares the food they want and sends it to them.
He has been setting up the stall for quite a while, and he is very fast at mental arithmetic, so he has never made a mistake in giving change. He sells a lot of things in the golden time when students go to school in the morning.
When it is almost time for class, the students outside seem to disappear in an instant. The remaining two or three kittens may have woken up late, and they ran past Wang Xuan's stall like a gust of wind with heavy schoolbags on their backs, panting and sliding into the school gate.
Wang Xuan did not find this funny like other stall owners, he was a little envious, these students did not have to worry about their lives, as long as they went to class and studied every day.
He didn't think about these things before, but the past few days of getting along with Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin have gradually changed Wang Xuan's mentality.
He once wanted to make enough money and then open a small shop when he was an adult, but now, he wants to go to school and become a good person like Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin. Maybe in the future, he can stand in front of Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin and show them a brand new self.
They will definitely praise him gently and affirm his efforts. Maybe they will touch his head happily.
Thinking of this scene, Wang Xuan couldn't help but smile happily. He stretched out his hand, touched his head, and began to pack up the things on the stall with a smile on his face.
A girl who came hurriedly on a bicycle saw this scene. She originally wanted to go directly to the school. She saw the down jacket on Wang Xuan and frowned slightly. The vehicle turned and turned to Wang Xuan's stall.
"Wang Xuan."
She called out, with a look of unhappiness between her eyebrows: "Didn't you say before that you would lend me all the money? Why did I see you buying things in the mall yesterday?"
The boy who had his head down looked up when he heard the voice, and was happy to see her at first, but after hearing her unhappy questioning, he quickly took out a pen and paper to write an explanation.
[That was the money I earned a few days ago. I went to the mall to buy gifts for my neighbors. 】
"Buying a gift?"
The girl looked Wang Xuan up and down, with an expression that said, "Don't try to fool me." "This down jacket on you doesn't look like a pirated one, does it? I've seen its price, it's at least more than 3,000 yuan. How can you make more than 3,000 yuan in just these few days?"
"Are you lying to me? You said you gave me all the money. If you really gave me all the money, where did you get the money to buy a down jacket, and such an expensive brand!"
Zou Le became more and more angry, and anger appeared on his beautiful face: "You said you like me, is this what you like?!"
Wang Xuan looked down at the plain down jacket on his body in a daze. Is this jacket so expensive?
Seeing that Zou Le looked very angry, he quickly wrote to explain: [This is not mine. A kind uncle from the neighbor lent it to me. 】
"Who are you kidding!"
Zou Le is now the same age as Wang Xuan, and he can't control his emotions well. When he heard this, he immediately looked disdainful: "Such expensive clothes, who is so stupid to lend them out, and lend them to you? Aren't you afraid that you will get them dirty when you set up the stall? Either he is a fool, or you are kidding me!"
She is always rude to Wang Xuan. It may be because Wang Xuan's careful attitude of holding her in his hands made her unconsciously raise her position too much. Now in Zou Le's view, Wang Xuan is wrong for not giving her all the money.
But she is still too young, and this sentence directly hurts Wang Xuan. For Wang Xuan, who wants to get close to the Lin family while being sad because of his incompatibility with the Lin family, hearing Zou Le's disdainful tone to mention Mr. Lin's kindness at this moment really touched Wang Xuan's bottom line.
Zou Le said he could, why did he say that Mr. Lin is such a good person!
He was so angry that his face flushed. For the first time, he looked at the girl he liked angrily. When he wrote, he even scratched the paper because he wrote too hard.
[You are too much. Why would I lie to you? This is what the kind uncle lent me. Even if you are my girlfriend, you can't be so unreasonable! ! ]
Zou Le, who was still angry, saw Wang Xuan staring at her, and her anger rose. When she saw the word "girlfriend", she became even angrier.
Who wants to be the girlfriend of this little mute? She was just too strictly controlled by her family. In order to get good grades, she was not allowed to focus on external things. She was not even bought a mobile phone, and her pocket money was too little.
Occasionally, she heard classmates mention that they actually made a lot of money by setting up stalls. They wanted to set up stalls part-time during the holidays, so they paid attention to the little mute who came to the school gate every day to set up stalls.
She observed for a few days and found that Wang Xuan did make more money than she thought, and most importantly, Wang Xuan liked her.
Zou Le occasionally went to Wang Xuan's stall to buy things. Every time this happened, Wang Xuan, who was very natural with other students, would lower his head in embarrassment, his ears turned red, and when she spoke, he would avoid her eyes and dare not look at her.
Most girls of this age have an intuition that they can always clearly distinguish who likes them. Zou Le is beautiful and has excellent grades, so there are still boys in the school who like her.
But if she agreed to those boys, she might be found out by the teacher in the same school and her parents would be called. It would not be convenient to ask the other party for money. After all, if she asked for money, she would be laughed at once the boy told others about it.
But Wang Xuan was different. He was just a stall owner. He was the same age as her and didn't go to school to sell things. It meant that there was no one in his family who could support him. She was about to enter high school, and her parents planned to send her to the prosperous capital to go to school. At this time, she borrowed money. When she left the city during the holidays, Wang Xuan only knew her name. She was a mute and so young that he couldn't find her at all.
After thinking about it and feeling that there was no need to worry, Zou Le began to deliberately approach Wang Xuan. She only needed one or two ambiguous words, and a few more words in front of the stall before and after school when there were not many students, to make this little mute's heart tied to her, and he would not hesitate to give her all his belongings when she borrowed money.
When Zou Le borrowed the money, she said that her family had urgent needs and it would only take a while to turn around, but in fact, she used it to buy a new mobile phone and a laptop. The remaining money was used to treat classmates to dinner and buy beautiful clothes. She bought the best, and when she finished buying, there was not much left.
Originally, she should have followed the original plan and stayed away from Wang Xuan until the holiday. She would go to her uncle's house in Beijing in advance, and Wang Xuan would not be able to find her at all.
But she met Wang Xuan in the mall yesterday, and today she saw Wang Xuan wearing a down jacket that she had seen on her cousin.
The uncle's family was much better off than theirs, but even so, the down jacket was bought by his aunt after his cousin mopped the floor for a month. He proudly wore the down jacket to show off to Zou Le, saying that he spent more than 3,000 yuan on it, and it was a very famous brand. It was warm and impressive to wear, and his classmates at school envied him.
Zou Le had been secretly competing with her cousin since she was a child, comparing grades, popularity, and who her grandma liked more. When she saw the down jacket, she wanted it, but she had already spent most of the money Wang Xuan gave her. Because the source of the money was unknown, these things had to be hidden from her family at school, and she couldn't show off to her cousin at all.
The most important thing was that her cousin had all the mobile phones and computers she bought.
The feeling of being outdone made Zou Le very unhappy, and the most unhappy thing was seeing the brand new down jacket on Wang Xuan, who she thought had given all his money to her.
She didn't believe what Wang Xuan said at all, "How dare you get angry at me, what neighbor uncle? This coat is obviously bought by you for yourself. It fits you so well. Could it be that the neighbor uncle is as skinny as you?!"
Wang Xuan was stunned. Mr. Lin was naturally not thin. Although he looked very elegant, he was in good health and ran every morning. Although he was wearing winter clothes and couldn't see clearly, he looked much stronger than Wang Xuan.
But this down coat of Mr. Lin fit him unexpectedly. He always felt that something was wrong. Something flashed through his mind. While he was trying to think, Zou Le in front of him said angrily in a slightly sharp voice: "You have nothing to say! You are rich but you cheated me! How much money do you have? Give it all to me. If you do this again next time, I will never talk to you again!"
Zou Le's trick worked every time. Wang Xuan longed for others to be kind to her. In order to maintain this good relationship, he was willing to give in constantly.
But this time Zou Le failed to get what she wanted. Wang Xuan, who had a new plan, was interrupted by her words. Because she was his girlfriend, he couldn't get angry, so he frowned and started writing on the paper.
[This dress is really not mine. I don't have much money on hand. When will you pay me back the money you borrowed from me last time? I want to use this money to go to school. I am already fifteen years old this year. It will be difficult to enroll if I am older. ]
Zou Le never thought that not only did she not get the money, but she was also urged to pay it back.
She was still young after all. When she saw Wang Xuan asking for money, she couldn't suppress her guilt.
"Why are you in a hurry? I'm your girlfriend. Can't I use your money?"
Wang Xuan looked up at her with a guilty face, squinted slightly, realized something, and continued to write: [You are my girlfriend, so I lent you money. Now I need money urgently. Can you pay me back quickly? 】
Zou Le's face was filled with guilt. This was totally different from what she thought. It was only March and it was still a long time before the holiday. She originally wanted to avoid Wang Xuan and make him unable to find her. The school guards would not allow anyone other than students to enter. When Wang Xuan couldn't find her, she could wait until the holiday.
But when she saw the expensive down jacket from a distance and remembered seeing Wang Xuan in the mall yesterday, Zou Le completely forgot about avoiding Wang Xuan.
Before she could answer, Wang Xuan frowned and looked at her again, then continued to write with his head down: [Also, you said you saw me in the mall yesterday, why didn't you come to say hello to me? 】
"Didn't I go there with my classmates?"
Zou Le was upset and answered angrily when he saw this, "If they see me and you together, they will definitely gossip behind our backs."
She answered this very happily, because Wang Xuan used to accommodate her like this. She said she didn't want her classmates to report her premature love, so Wang Xuan cooperated and didn't have any contact with Zou Le when there were other people around.
But this time, because of Zou Le's obviously guilty expression, Wang Xuan's eyes were a little more suspicious. He was not a naive boy. At least when looking at things, he was much more mature than Zou Le.
Zou Le was calm and lied to him well, he might not be able to see it, but when she first showed dissatisfaction with Wang Xuan's down jacket and hesitated about paying back the money, Wang Xuan had to think more.
People are always used to comparison. If Wang Xuan had not known the Lin family before and had never tasted warmth, he might be happy because of the little bit of goodwill from Zou Leshi. He would subconsciously ignore the bad side for this little bit of goodwill and to maintain the boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.
Now, he feels the real relationship. If it were Mr. and Mrs. Lin, they would be happy for him when they saw a new piece of clothing on him, instead of directly questioning him like Zou Le did.
Although they don't look like people who are short of money, Wang Xuan can imagine a lot. If they borrow money, they will definitely write an IOU, set a repayment time, and take the initiative to ask for repayment every time. This is the highest ritual of borrowing money in Wang Xuan's mind.
He has always wanted to try this once, but unfortunately, because of his young age and muteness, he has no friends except those children in the organization who are also in hardship.
When Zou Le asked him for money directly, he said that it was urgent for his family, so Wang Xuan did not ask for an IOU. In his mind, since they have confirmed their relationship, Zou Le will naturally marry him in the future. In this regard, this mature child also has some stubborn naivety.
If Zou Le was having a hard time, or her family couldn't pay it back, as her boyfriend, Wang Xuan could ask her not to pay it back, but in fact, Zou Le was riding a beautiful bicycle, wearing a new dress that was obviously bought not long ago, and the small leather boots on her feet were polished to a shine.
Wang Xuan's eyes rarely showed sharpness, and he wrote on the paper: [Your family has something wrong, and you still have money to buy new clothes and new shoes? ]
Zou Le's face flashed with panic, and she became more and more hesitant: "What new clothes and new shoes, I bought this last year!"
[This dress is a new style this year, and it is only sold in the central shopping mall. There was no such style last year. ]
Wang Xuan held the paper vertically to Zou Le and looked at her stubbornly with a pair of black and round eyes.
"I remembered it wrongly, this is what my uncle bought for me, oh I won't tell you, I still have to go to class!"
Zou Le responded in a panic for a few words, and then stepped on the pedals, wanting to ride her bicycle away from the suddenly smart Wang Xuan, but before she pedaled, her sleeve was grabbed first.
"Why are you grabbing me!! You just grilled something! You rubbed my oil all over my clothes!!"
Zou Le didn't bother to run, and quickly shook off Wang Xuan's hand. He frowned and took out toilet paper from his pocket with disgust and wiped the place where he was grabbed.
Wang Xuan looked at her undisguised disgust because of her anxiety. The finger that had just grabbed the other party trembled slightly. He pursed his lips. In his mind, Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin's gentle smile, caring expression, the old lady's warm embrace without any disgust, and the way she smiled and put candy in his hand, and Zou Le's subconscious disgust just now intersected with each other, and finally turned into a coldness in his heart.
Different.
He lowered his head, his eyes slightly red.
He quickly wrote a line on the paper and handed it to Zou Le, who was still angry and disgusted.
"What?" Zou Le hated this way of looking at words before speaking, especially after her clothes were suspected of being stained with oil, she impatiently pulled them over.
"Break up?! You want to break up with me?!"
She almost didn't know whether she should be happy or angry. Zou Le had never regarded Wang Xuan as her boyfriend. But even so, before she could get away, the other party proposed to break up first, which still made this girl who had hardly suffered any grievances since childhood feel humiliated.
The voice became sharp again, "Wang Xuan, you actually want to break up with me? Are you sick?"
Wang Xuan didn't look at her expression, but just lowered his head and wrote a line of words.
This time, Zou Le's anger was suppressed after seeing the line of words: "Pay back today? Wang Xuan, are you serious?"
[If you don't have money to pay now, I can go to your house with you after school and ask your parents to write down the IOU and the exact payment date. 】
Wang Xuan's attitude this time was very firm. He needed money to go to school. Zou Le's attitude really made him uneasy, so he could only negotiate with her parents.
Zou Le felt that Wang Xuan was deliberately taking revenge on him.
"Just because I yelled at you? Wang Xuan, are you still a man?"
It would be a lie to say that she was not sad to be despised by someone she loved. It was just that Wang Xuan had long been accustomed to hiding her weakness and never showed it on her face.
[It has nothing to do with these. I need money. When you borrowed the money, you also said that you only needed to turn it around for a while. I will wait for you at the school gate after school today. ]
For Wang Xuan's statement, Zou Le only left three words and rode away quickly on his bicycle.
"Psycho!"
Wang Xuan stood in the distance, looking at her back as she rode into the school quickly with a pair of dark eyes, and lowered his head a little dejectedly.
Zou Le was restless all day today, and she didn't listen to the class. After class, her deskmate invited her to go to the canteen to buy things together, but she didn't go.
She was panicking. She borrowed the money from Wang Xuan secretly without telling anyone. Although she came from a good family, she knew that the money was not a small amount. If her parents knew that she borrowed money outside...
Zou Le shuddered suddenly, and for the first time she regretted borrowing money from Wang Xuan.
She didn't expect Wang Xuan to ask for money so soon. An orphan and dumb boy actually broke up with her.
Even if she had to pay back the money now, she didn't have the money. She had already spent almost all of it.
Zou Le originally wanted to hide in the school and wait until everyone left before going out, but the guard would lock the door at night. Wang Xuan would set up a stall every night and would definitely wait for her.
She was so anxious that she kept thinking about ways. After thinking for a long time, she finally came up with a good idea.
With a way, Zou Le was not so anxious anymore. She spent the afternoon typing the manuscript in her stomach peacefully.
The school bell rang, and the teacher assigned homework. The students walked out with their schoolbags one after another. This was the time when the flow of people at the school gate was the largest. Zou Le still held a glimmer of hope. She mixed in the crowd, hoping that Wang Xuan would not find her.
But as soon as she reached the door, she saw the thin figure standing there, with a pair of black eyes quickly locking onto her. She panicked, but quickly calmed down, put on a normal look, and walked calmly to the door.
When she reached the door, Wang Xuan really grabbed her. Before he handed over the paper, Zou Le had already screamed sharply and panicked: "Ah - what are you doing! Why are you grabbing me!!"
The surrounding students quickly looked over because of the scream. It is human nature to watch the excitement, and this nature is more vividly displayed in children.
Being watched by so many people, Wang Xuan was stunned for a moment. He handed over the written paper in his hand, which asked Zou Le to pay back the money.
But as soon as the paper was handed over, Zou Le waved it away. Her beautiful and pure face was full of panic, as if she was a poor girl who was molested on the bus.
"Who are you! Don't hold me!!"
No matter how mature Wang Xuan was, he was still confused when his ex-lover who had just broken up with him turned his face and refused to recognize him in the morning.
He quickly took out a pen and paper to write on it, but before he could write, Zou Le reached out and threw his pen on the road.
After throwing the pen, the girl looked innocent: "Who are you? You must have recognized the wrong person!"
Yes, this is her plan.
Throw away the pen that the little mute used to communicate with his mouth, and he will no longer be able to speak. At that time, she will have to do whatever she says.
As long as Wang Xuan is labeled as someone who harassed her, even if he finds paper and pen to write that she owes money in the future, Zou Le can insist that this person is a scammer.
Her plan is perfect. At least Wang Xuan, who has no pen and can't speak, is like an animal without limbs. He turned around and wanted to see where the pen was thrown, but the students who gathered around to watch the excitement blocked his view. If he left now, maybe Zou Le would leave.
He could only pick up the piece of paper he had prepared before and face it to Zou Le.
It said [Pay back the money].
"Pay back the money?"
Zou Le had no intention of hiding anything. She loudly repeated the words on the paper and then said, "You have the wrong person. I don't know you at all. When did I owe you money? Even if I want to borrow money, I can't ask you to borrow it!"
The students around began to exchange their information with each other.
"Isn't that the mute who set up a stall in front of the school?"
"Who is that woman?"
"Zou Le, I know her. She has good grades. Her composition was rated as an excellent composition and posted on the bulletin board."
No matter how confused Wang Xuan was now, he knew that Zou Le was going to deny it. His face flushed with anger. Without a pen, he could only make short gestures to indicate that Zou Le should pay back the money.
"Hey, I remember he was going to write on the paper."
A student who had bought something at the stall was not afraid of trouble. He opened his schoolbag and threw his pen over: "Hey, you dumb guy, just write down what you want on the paper!"
Although his address was a bit disrespectful, Wang Xuan still picked up the pen, looked at the other person with gratitude, and began to write quickly under Zou Le's panicked gaze.
After writing, he did not try to hand it to Zou Le again, but handed it to the student who lent him the pen.
The meaning of this piece of paper was clear and concise.
On a certain day of a certain month of a certain year, Zou Le borrowed a certain amount of money from him on the grounds that his family had an emergency, and today he came to ask the other party to pay back the money.
After reading it, the student immediately read it out loud. Zou Le blushed, but still held on, pretending to be wronged.
"He's talking nonsense! I don't even know him! And look at him like that, how could I borrow money from him!"
Some students thought Zou Le was right, and some thought he was wrong.
"That down jacket he's wearing costs more than 3,000, doesn't it? He looks quite wealthy."
"Is it a knockoff?"
"It's only been out for a short time, how can it be a knockoff? And my uncle said he makes a lot of money from kebabs."
Wang Xuan quickly wrote, [That's all my savings, I hope you can return it to me soon! ]
Zou Le still refused to admit it: "Don't talk nonsense, I have so many friends, who can I borrow money from? If I really need money, I can ask my parents, why should I borrow from you!"
[You borrowed money from me because you are my girlfriend. ]
Zou Le was waiting for this sentence.
She immediately put on an insulted expression on her face: "You, you are not clear-headed! Why don't you look at yourself in the mirror? How can I be your girlfriend with you like this!!"
This sentence obviously convinced the students who were watching. They looked at Zou Le, who had fair skin and beautiful features and looked like a little princess, and then looked at Wang Xuan, who was dark and thin, wearing expensive clothes but wearing a pair of cheap shoes with worn leather on his feet, and was still a mute.
"Yeah, why don't you make up a decent lie?"
"Zou Le is so popular in our class, the class monitor likes her, how could she be the girlfriend of this mute, and a street vendor?"
"Hey, he doesn't look that old, why is he setting up a street vendor? Is his family in a difficult situation?"
"He seems to be an orphan. I've always seen him alone, and he sets up a street vendor early in the morning. Otherwise, he should be in school at this age."
"I think it's a scam. It doesn't seem to be true."
"I think so too."
Wang Xuan instantly became the scammer, and Zou Le raised his chin proudly, like a winner. Looking at him, her beautiful eyes were full of contempt: "If you keep pestering me, I will call the police!"
"What's going on!! Ah!! What are you doing!"
The sturdy security guard came late, frowning at the group of students and Wang Xuan standing in the middle. Zou Le immediately felt like he had found a backer, "Uncle, I don't know this person. He insisted on running over and saying that I was his girlfriend and asked me for money. He seemed to be setting up a stall at the school gate and was a mute. How could I be his girlfriend!!"
The security guard looked Wang Xuan up and down. He was so angry that he trembled all over. He didn't even bother to write, but just gestured quickly with his hands.
Looking back at Zou Le with red eyes and a wronged face, he immediately made a decision.
"Get out! Who told you to make trouble at the gate of our school? I tell you! Don't harass our school students again in the future!!"
Wang Xuan was shaking with anger, but he couldn't speak. He could only barely control his emotions, write quickly on the paper, and then stand it up to show the security guard.
[She really owes me money!!! It's all my money! ]
"It's obvious that the girl doesn't need money, how could she owe you money and still be your girlfriend? I tell you, young man, our school is not a place for you to make trouble. We students will go to good universities in the future, which is different from you. It's useless to come here with your tricks, I tell you!"
Wang Xuan didn't want to cry weakly, but when he was pushed out by the guard, his nose was sore and he still cried.
He couldn't speak or defend himself, he could only hold the paper in vain, while being pushed and shown to the people around him.
No, it's not what they said!
Zou Le really owed him money and really was his girlfriend!
That was all his money, the money he wanted to use for school!
Why didn't anyone believe it! !
Why didn't anyone want to believe him! !
The guard was pushing Wang Xuan, who was pushing away and coming forward again, while scolding him impatiently: "I won't bother with you because you are young. If you do this again, I will call the police! I will lock you up for a few days, and you will learn your lesson!"
After that, he pushed Wang Xuan harder and pushed him so hard that he staggered and fell to the ground.
The students around saw this scene and cheered. Some people even whistled. Obviously, they regarded the guard as a hero who protected the students.
Amid the cheers, Wang Xuan sat on the ground in a mess, trembling all over, and felt as if the whole world had turned cold.
"What are you doing!!! What are you doing!!! Get out of here——"
Zhou Chuchu, who had just got off the car, never thought that she would see this scene. She rushed forward like an angry she-wolf and pushed the people surrounding Wang Xuan away. Her crazy look scared the students around her and made them retreat again and again.
After ensuring that no one could hurt Wang Xuan anymore, Zhou Chuchu, with red eyes, hugged the boy on the ground, turned around and stared at the people in front of her fiercely.
"Why are you bullying my child!! I'm going to call the police!! I'm going to sue you!!"
"Xuanxuan, Xuanxuan, don't be afraid, mom is here, mom will protect you, Xuanxuan..."
This scene obviously stimulated Zhou Chuchu, who had never dared to think about how much Wang Xuan had suffered in places she couldn't see. She hugged Wang Xuan on the ground tightly as if she was holding a very young child, holding his head with trembling hands, and kept letting him lean against her arms, so that he could stay in his mother's arms safely like a baby.
Wang Xuan felt that he was dreaming.
He was held in his arms, and there was a faint fragrance at the tip of his nose, which made people feel relieved.
Although he was relieved, his tears could not be controlled and fell down.
Before his consciousness reacted, his body had already let the tears flow all over his face.
Is it a dream?
Wang Xuan thought in a trance.
He heard the guard's unbelievable voice: "Are you his mother??"
The next second, the person holding him answered with absolute certainty.
"Yes! I am his mother!"
