Chapter 27: Self-Exposed Scars
With Lin Tong’s statement, Hou Xiaohong became even more complacent.
"Hahaha, did you see that? Even if I don't look for him, he will lick me automatically like a dog. Do you know why? His sister works as a nanny at my house!"
Hou Xiaohong finally told the reason why Lin Tong was afraid of him. Xi Yu on the side was not to be outdone and said with a smile:
"By the way, squad leader, why are you so concerned about his affairs? Do you like it? Isn’t he? The taste is quite special!”
The two of them burst out laughing together, but unfortunately the laughter was interrupted by a knock on the door before it lasted for a few seconds.
The sound was not urgent, but slow and rhythmic.
But their deliberate and high-pitched laughter ended abruptly.
Everyone looked towards the door, and Su Chengyi was standing there with the light behind him.
He curled his knuckles and tapped continuously on the somewhat rusty iron door.
Hou Xiaohong was numb by his eyes. Just when he was brave enough to say something, Su Chengyi took out his mobile phone from his pocket.
The screen stayed on the recording interface, and through the external speakers, his arrogant voice just now was coming out.
"...What happened to me cheating..."
The faces of Hou Xiaohong and Xi Yu suddenly turned ugly.
“This recording will be in the year group offices soon.”
After the words fell, Su Chengyi hooked his hand at Chu Qingmian. The other person's eyes lit up, and he picked up his schoolbag and ran to him.
Hou Xiaohong gritted his teeth, suddenly thought of something, and immediately grabbed his last hope.
"Ha, even if this proves that I cheated, it was consensual. Lin Tong can't escape the involvement either!"
Hou Xiaohong was simply stunned by his own wit.
Fortunately, what he said just now made it clear that it was Lin Tong who was chasing him to give him the answer and please him.
Su Chengyi seems to be very good to Lin Tong. She helped him out of trouble last time, so she will definitely not drag him into trouble.
In this way, his main responsibilities can even be washed away. Hou Xiaohong couldn't help but look at Su Chengyi very proudly.
Who would have thought that after hearing what he said, Su Chengyi looked completely unmoved.
He even raised his eyebrows and asked back with a hint of confusion.
“So?”
Su Chengyi put the phone back in his pocket and glanced at Lin Tong next to him.
“Do you think I will let you go for this reason?”
“Do you think there is any essential difference between you and Lin Tong to me? "
The smile that had just climbed to the corner of Hou Xiaohong's mouth quickly stiffened.
Lin Tong, who had been keeping his head down, suddenly raised his head when he heard what he said, with tears all over his face.
Chu Qingmian was startled by his tears and reached out to poke Su Chengyi next to her, hoping to stop him from talking.
Of course Su Chengyi also saw Lin Tong's expression, but he looked directly at Lin Tong and continued speaking word by word.
“Do you think it’s great for you to swallow your anger at school in order to keep your family’s job?”
“Or in other words, do you think it’s embarrassing for your sister to be a nanny in other people’s homes? ?
Do you think cheating is a glorious thing? ”
"Since you lied in front of the teacher to protect them, you have been a grasshopper on a rope."
Every word is a little hurtful, but Su Chengyi's tone is very calm, as if he is talking about something insignificant. little things.
"The college entrance examination is coming soon. You should be very clear about what being punished means. Which is more serious? You can weigh it yourself. I will say this."
After saying this, Su Chengyi said He turned around and left without looking back.
Chu Qingmian ran all the way to catch up. She stood in front of Su Chengyi anxiously.
"You're not really going to report them, are you? No, no."
"What else? Were you not angry when he scolded you just now?"
Su Chengyi stopped and put his arm Perched on the railing of the corridor, I watched the blue and white school uniforms coming and going downstairs.
Chu Qingmian didn't even bother to take a breath, so she spoke hurriedly:
"Oh, I'm not angry. If you report them, Lin Tong will be finished, and he will also be punished." It's a demerit." Seeing that Su Chengyi still didn't speak, she was so anxious that she almost burst into tears, and reached out to grab the cuffs of his school uniform.
"Su Chengyi..."
Su Chengyi withdrew his gaze from downstairs, stayed in her wet eyes for a while, and then looked towards the end of the corridor.
“That’s what I thought just now, but now I’ve changed my mind.”
Chu Qingmian followed his gaze and looked over. Lin Tong was holding her schoolbag, standing there nervously.
He seemed to have mustered up the courage, walked over quickly, and bowed deeply.
"I'm sorry, classmate Chu Qingmian."
Chu Qingmian hurriedly waved her hands and said it was okay. Seeing that Lin Tong still kept her bowing posture, she quickly threw herself at Su Chengyi for help. gaze.
The latter was unmoved, he said:
"What are you going to do?"
Lin Tong straightened up, his eyes firm.
"I will report them with you. It doesn't matter if I am punished. I will not let them bully me again."
Su Chengyi suddenly smiled, he took out his mobile phone and called up That recording.
In front of the two of them, he clicked the delete button.
“Hey! Why did you delete it?”
Chu Qingmian was so shocked that she was speechless, and Lin Tong also looked in disbelief.
"This recording is of no use, although it might be possible to edit it..."
Su Chengyi put the phone back into his pocket, as if he had already expected such a result.
"But it's not necessary. You said you wouldn't help them in the future. The squad leader also interfered with it today, and they didn't actually copy anything."
"You won't...early Just prepare to do this! Make me anxious!”
Chu Qingmian's mind finally turned around, and she was so angry that she grabbed Su Chengyi's arm.
She shouted fiercely, but in fact her attack was very gentle. Su Chengyi felt as if she had been scratched by a little cat that hadn't grown nails yet.
"No, if Lin Tong is not here now, maybe there will be another outcome."
This is also half true and half false. He is not sure whether he can do this. Heart comes.
What I just said about Lin Tong was actually a bit extreme, but Lin Tong was too forward-looking and hesitant.
To a certain extent, I just need to say something like this to stimulate him and give him a push.
Fortunately the result is good.
Lin Tong finally took this step.
The three of them went downstairs together. It had been a while since the exam ended, and the entire building was quiet for the senior year.
Chu Qingmian suddenly thought of something and asked Lin Tong worriedly.
"You have fallen out with Hou Xiaohong now, will it affect your sister's work?"
When Lin Tong heard her say this, his face suddenly became sad, and he sighed softly.
"The reason why I obeyed him is because..."
He took a deep breath, glanced at the two of them, and said with difficulty:
" My sister is deaf-mute ”
When these words came out, both Chu Qingmian and Su Chengyi were a little surprised.
"Hou Xiaohong, although his conduct is not good. But the housekeeper in his family is a good person.
I grew up in the countryside, far away from here. You must have never heard of it, called Brick Bridge Village”
