Seeing his son's face suddenly change, Chen Yulian muttered again, and made up her mind to take her son to see the doctor tomorrow, but a smile appeared on her face, "Xiaoqi, if you feel uncomfortable, eat and continue to sleep. Tomorrow on Monday, mom will take you to the doctor to prescribe some medicine, so you can take a leave and take a day off."

"oh."

Xiao Qi nodded slightly, and he also needed some time to sort out his thoughts and adapt to his current mood.

Happiness comes too suddenly, and sometimes people can't react.

Chen Yulian was not very relieved and decided to instruct her son a few more words, "Xiaoqi, you were already eighteen years old last week and have become an adult. You have to learn to take care of yourself. Don't worry your mother all day long, do you know?"

"knew."

Xiao Qi felt warm in his heart. In the next ten years, he had only a handful of days with his parents, so he listened to his mother's nagging through the phone, which was also very warm.

Now listening to it in person, I feel even more like having my mother by my side.

yes!

All of them are eighteen years old, so they should work hard for their own life, eighteen...

Um?

Birthday last week?

Today is Sunday?!

Xiao Qi's face turned pale.

Extremely pale.

"mom……"

"how?"

Chen Yulian was burying her head to eat, but she didn't notice that her son's face was as pale as paper, and her voice was shaking unstoppable.

"Today...what month is today..."

"Silly boy! Why are you just talking nonsense?" Chen Yulian looked up and saw her son's face, and was startled again, "Are you okay? Do you want to go to the hospital?"

"Mom! I'm fine, tell me quickly!" Xiao Qi's hand holding chopsticks was shaking constantly.

"Today is September 8th, Sunday...hey! What are you doing?"

Chen Yulian didn't finish her words. Xiao Qi, who had been staring at the clock on the wall just now, threw down the bowls and chopsticks and ran towards the door.

Chen Yulian quickly grabbed her son's arm, and her face turned pale, "Son, don't scare mom! What's wrong?"

As she spoke, her eyes turned red, and a feeling of worry and fear occupied Chen Yulian's heart.

Xiao Qi came over with his backhand, hugged his mother hard, and then let go: "Mom, it's too late, I'll come back to explain to you!"

"But... it's so late, why are you going out for?" Chen Yulian asked with a frown.

The clock now points to 8:30 in the evening. Even in summer, it is dark outside.

If his son hadn't been honest since childhood, Chen Yulian would have been too concerned about anything bad he would have done.

Xiao Qi climbed over my mother's shoulder and tried to speak in a relaxed tone and expression: "Mom, I have a very important thing to do, it's not a bad thing. I'll tell you again when I come back."

He knew his mother's personality. Although he was so fierce on weekdays, he actually spoiled his son very much, especially since he never did bad things since he was a child and studied hard.

As long as I say it carefully, my mother will definitely let herself go.

Sure enough, Chen Yulian thought about it and nodded, "Xiaoqi, then you have to come back early, don't worry mother... This dead child~~"

Seeing that before he finished speaking, Xiao Qi ran away. Chen Yulian was both angry and funny, but another thought flashed through her mind: Could this silly boy have fallen in love early, right?

Of course, Xiao Qi was not in an early relationship. In fact, when he was in the United States, he had never dated a girlfriend. He just focused on learning various knowledge and scientific research. There were too many doctoral students in his peers like this, which was not abrupt.

It’s not that Xiao Qi doesn’t like women, on the contrary, he has many girls he likes and admires silently, especially his beautiful deskmate, who is the person he dreams about the most.

The reason why he had never dated a girlfriend happened to happen to be tonight.

It was also what happened tonight that caused Xiao Qi's lingering shadow.

Now that he had the chance to break through this shadow, Xiao Qi was naturally nervous and excited and trembled all over. Even when he ran out, he surpassed his fastest speed.

However……

Running too fast is not a good thing.

Because she ran out of the city government’s family building area and arrived at the intersection of the street, Xiao Qicai was sadly discovering that he had forgotten to go to the carport to pick up the car.

Without a bicycle, it is so far from Huang Shulin. How can I break the inner demons and rescue the two most innocent and pitiful classmates?

Just as he gritted his teeth and wanted to run back to the carport to pick up the car, he suddenly glanced at a figure.

Xiao Qi, who was overjoyed, rushed up quickly.

Because he was too big, the handsome boy who was pushing his bicycle and talking and laughing with a girl noticed it early, looked up at this side, and was stunned.

Xiao Qi didn't care whether he was alone or not, and snatched his car and said, "Master He, borrow your car!"

"Hey, hey, Aqi, this is the newly bought chariot by Xiao Na! What are you doing... don't... don't break it. Where are you going, I'll take you there!"

The handsome boy couldn't take care of his beloved car, so he quickly suggested to be a coachman, otherwise he would not obey.

"Okay, I'm going to Huang Shulin, hurry up!" Xiao Qi saw that it was going to take time, so he could only sit in the back seat and said.

"Oh... Xiaoyuan, you go home first, see you at school tomorrow!"

The handsome boy also saw that Xiao Qi was really anxious and did not dare to delay. He greeted his female companion and rode away in the car.

The handsome young man is named He Hao, and he is the third child in his family. He is Xiao Qi's classmate. He has poor grades, but he is handsome and has rich family.

Compared to the word "六", He Hao likes to pretend to be a ghost and often says that the little monk is a little nun, so the little nun became his own claim, and Xiao Qi usually calls him "Master He".

To say that such a person should be a very popular figure among girls, but unfortunately, his popularity with women is not good.

The reason is that He Hao has too many mouths, just like a telephone line. When you talk about what is in his ears, you can basically tell them about them after a while, making it impossible for boys and girls to like him very much.

However, He Hao is Xiao Qi's elementary school, junior high school and high school classmate, so naturally Xiao Qi has a better relationship with him on weekdays.

It is precisely because of the good relationship that He Hao was riding a bicycle hard while muttering, "It's so difficult for him to make an appointment with Xiaoyuan, and you guys are ruined. It's really a great sin."

Xiao Qi, who was both nervous and excited in his heart, didn't listen to a word when he was nagging.

Xiao Qi's current thoughts have been completely immersed in the thing that affected his life.

It was on September 9, 2005, at 6 a.m. Monday.

When I got up in the morning to go to the bathroom, I suddenly heard the ringtone of my parents' cell phone in my parents' room. Then my father picked up the phone and waited for Xiao Qi to come back from the bathroom. When he passed by his parents' room, he found that his parents were wearing clothes in panic.

Seeing his son's surprised look, his father Xiao Xu blurted out: "What happened to Yang Xue! Something big happened!"

Xiao Qi still remembered that at that moment, he was confused and wanted to continue sleeping, but suddenly he felt like a basin of ice water poured on his head in winter. After trembling all over, he became extremely awake and didn't feel sleepy at all.

Immediately, Xiao Qi, who was confused, went to the hospital with his parents. He saw his good friend Yang Xue, who had been growing up, lying on the hospital bed covered in blood, with tubes on his body and his head wrapped tightly. When he approached, he saw that the gauze was covered in blood and the bed was covered in blood.

Yang Xue was injured with a homemade gunpowder gun and then threw it into Lujiang River.

Originally, Yang Xue was calm enough to pretend to be dead and escaped, but the cruel criminal threw him into Lujiang.

If Yang hadn't learned to swim, and the ship that salvaged sand and gravel passed by here and rescued him, I'm afraid everyone would never have seen him again.

But Yang Xue was still awake at this time. When she heard her mother crying and talking to Xiao Xu and the others, she called "Is Xiao Qi coming? Is Xiao Qi coming?"

Xiao Qi, who had never seen this scene before, was almost paralyzed. Even when Xiao Qi remembered this scene seven or eight years later, when Xiao Qi thought of this scene, he was surprised how he had the courage to walk to the bedside and leaned over to Yang Xue.

The smell of fishy and weird blood made Xiao Qi not dare to see blood from now on, so he stayed in school and didn't have to worry about anything outside.

"Help me find Su Zi! Xiao Qi, help me find Su Zi!!"

This firm subtle voice with no choking or pause at all has also become a word that often echoes in Xiao Qi's ears.

Su Zi has been found.

Half an hour later, Xiao Qi saw Su Zi lying quietly in the morgue of the hospital.

Su Zi, who could never breathe, still maintained a shocked and painful expression, which shows how great the torture she suffered was.

Because we have to keep it the same and let the police investigate and find clues, no one will take care of Su Zi's body.

So when Xiao Qi came up, in addition to seeing Su Zi's face, he also saw her torn clothes, her tiny wounds covered with her body, and her legs that covered the critical position but could not be closed at all.

This scene, along with the scene on Yang Xue’s bed, is called Xiao Qi’s two major nightmares.

At this point, he never forgot about it, and he had a shadow. He was unwilling to contact others until three or four years later, and it was a little better.

Perhaps, there are also reasons for being timid.

Xiao Qi, who was sitting in the car, recalled this scene and shook his head and smiled with a little self-deprecating look.

But his face gradually became firmer.

Yang Xue!

Su Zi!

You guys wait!

I, Xiao Qi, come back, and I will never allow such a tragic thing to happen to you, the innocent ones!

no way!!
Chapter completed!
