Chapter 30 Chapter Thirty

Facts have proved that Zhao Duo's estimate was too pessimistic.A few days later, he received meticulous care from Bai Xiaoxi. It was the third day after the loan shark was due.In the evening, Bai Xiaoxi went back to Zhao Duo's to get a change of clothes.As soon as he entered the door, he saw Zhao Duo lying down.Not in bed, but underground.Zhao Duo hugged his head, with blood all over his hands and face, curled up and moaned in pain.Seeing Bai Xiaoxi coming in, the first thing Zhao Duo said was, "Thank you for coming now, if you had come in a few minutes earlier, you would have ended up like this."

The expected nightmare came true.The usury thugs came to the door and beat Zhao Duo solidly. Bai Xiaoxi hurriedly sent Zhao Duo to the hospital.In fact, the injury was not as serious as it looked. Most of the blood came from the nose. There was a big bump on his head and a cut on his arm.Those guys are very good at beating people, they will never kill you, and they will not cause serious injuries at one time, but the scene looks absolutely bloody and has enough deterrent power.That was a profound warning - if it is better to pay back the money, these places will not be the only ones that will bleed next time!

As soon as those words came out, Bai Xiaoxi burst into tears. That was a touching sentence. At that time, the doctor was bandaging Zhao Duo's arm. Zhao Duo turned his head and whispered to Bai Xiaoxi: "Xiaoxi, after a while, you go back and take away all the things you need. Just don't come back, I'm too dangerous, those guys don't know when they will come again, don't let them see you, wait until I find a way to settle the matter." Bai Xiaoxi immediately had a sore nose, and tears fell down. "You think of a way, what can you think of? Can't you go out and hide first?"

"Hiding?" Zhao Duo gave a wry smile, "Even if you can hide from Lord Yan, you can't hide from those people. If you didn't have these two tricks, would they dare to come out to lend usury?" "Then what should we do? Can we call the police?" "Call the police? Can the police protect me for the rest of my life? In the end, it's me who suffers." Bai Xiaoxi was extremely frustrated.In any case, she was not deeply involved in the world, and she never expected that the matter would develop to such an extent.She asked Zhao Duo: "I have already paid them back more than 30,000 yuan, which is more than what they borrowed at the beginning. Why are they still like this?"

"This is called usury. What is the principal? What I want is high interest. When I sent them the 35,000 the day before yesterday, they didn't even look at it and asked when the rest of the money would be paid back. , They only gave it a two-day grace period, I thought I could delay it, but I didn't expect them to get serious." "Why are these people like this? It's just like the underworld." "They are gangsters in the first place, who would dare to come out to lend usury without the support of the gangsters?" "When will they come again?"

"Ten days, they said this is the deadline, and the ten days' interest will be added." Zhao Duo grinned, feeling that his arm after taking the medicine hurts more than the medicine. "Ah?" Bai Xiaoxi was completely stunned, "Then... where did you get so much money?" "Don't worry about it, I'll take care of it myself." "How do you solve it?" She said hopelessly. Zhao Duo didn't say a word, he supported his aching arm, his eyes were blank. "Wait a minute." After Bai Xiaoxi finished speaking, he went to the corridor to make a phone call.After a while, when she came back, she was even more depressed.She called her family again just now, and wanted to talk to her parents again, but the situation at home was also not good.My sister's new store is not doing well, and the family has already posted all the old diers in it, so there is no time to take care of Bai Xiaoxi's plight.

That night, Bai Xiaoxi didn't go back to school, but went home with Zhao Duo.She served Zhao Duo a bowl of noodles, watched him finish eating, and comforted him to sleep.When he was about to leave the next morning, Bai Xiaoxi stood in front of the half-open door and said to Zhao Duo, "Wait for me to call, I don't know if I can bring him back." Bai Xiaoxi wanted to make a bet with himself. Bai Xiaoxi's conscience was disturbed by Zhao Duo's situation and her empathy, so she had to explain to Zhao Duo.So, she decided to lure Zhou Yulou out again to carry out that plan.

At the same time, she bet that Zhou Yulou would not come. Bai Xiaoxi had a reason to bet that Zhou Yulou would not come, because the passionate kiss in the body classroom had put an end to everything.From that day on, Zhou Yulou was a stranger to her. Every time we meet in the corridor, Zhou Yulou no longer smiles at her like before, but quickens his pace and walks away in a hurry.At first Bai Xiaoxi thought he was just pretending to be reserved, but after a few days she found out that was not the case.Zhou Yulou is definitely alienating her categorically.Once, they met in the bookstore next to the school gate. Bai Xiaoxi walked over and said "Mr. Zhou" softly. Zhou Yulou turned his head and glanced at her. Yulou put down the book and walked out of the bookstore, turning a blind eye to her.The day after Zhao Duo lost his car, Director Sun brought Zhou Yulou to review the rehearsal of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame".After the performances of other actors, Zhou Yulou said a few words more or less, but when it was her turn to sing "You Are Like the Sun", she saw Zhou Yulou whispering a few words to Director Sun, got up and left Go out and don't watch her show at all.That day, Bai Xiaoxi suppressed tears before finishing singing that song.After class the next day, Bai Xiaoxi found Zhou Yulou in the piano room.There were only the two of them in the piano room, and Bai Xiaoxi closed the door.

"Teacher Zhou." She said. "Is there something wrong?" Zhou Yulou asked her lightly. "Why are you avoiding me?" "No, why am I avoiding you?" "You obviously..." "Stop talking." Zhou Yulou interrupted her, "I'm avoiding you. Xiaoxi, if we can't return to a normal teacher-student relationship, I think I will continue to hide. What happened that day thing, I don't know what you think, I blame myself. I shouldn't have done that, I apologize to you again, and at the same time I hope..." "Stop talking, it was me that day..."

"That's not something that can be done by one person. And, if it's wrong, first of all, it's me, I'm your teacher, and I'm also a woman's husband. Xiaoxi, you are very smart, you must have touched There are many stories, you should know that some stories seem to have a beautiful beginning but are destined to end tragically. You are a very good girl, your life has just begun, and there are countless possibilities waiting for you, you should cherish it, understand?" Zhou Yulou paused After a while, he walked up to Bai Xiaoxi. "Can you, in your heart, restore us to an ordinary teacher-student relationship?"

"..." "Can?" Bai Xiaoxi didn't answer, and didn't know how to answer.She understands the truth, of course she can say "yes" immediately, then maybe she can still feel the normal Zhou Yulou, see that charming smile in the corridor, and have a chance to talk to him... But she really Unable to agree to Zhou Yulou against his will.She had already planted a big tree of love in her heart, and she didn't know if her heart would be broken when the tree was uprooted when she said "can". That conversation ended in vain. When Zhou Yulou returned to the office, Bai Xiaoxi was still standing in the piano room in a daze. The last thing happened at noon yesterday.Bai Xiaoxi saw Jiang Dan. The offices of the vocal department were open at the time.Bai Xiaoxi saw that Jiang Dan tore two pills from the packaging bag, handed them to Zhou Yulou, and watched him eat them.One detail stung Bai Xiaoxi especially: after Zhou Yulou took medicine for the water, Jiang Dan gently wiped the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief.Zhou Yulou smiled happily. His wife stood gracefully in the midday sun, peaceful and calm.At that moment, Bai Xiaoxi told herself that that man would never belong to her.In fact, Bai Xiaoxi was holding a box of medicine in his hand at that time.When she met Zhou Yulou at the school gate in the morning, she saw him coughing non-stop, and later heard him coughing in the corridor.So after class, Bai Xiaoxi ran to the pharmacy next to the school to buy the box of medicine.But now it seemed that it was no longer needed, so she threw the box of medicine into the trash can. All of these, so today, Bai Xiaoxi bet that Zhou Yulou would not come.And it was precisely because he firmly believed that Zhou Yulou would not come that Bai Xiaoxi decided to invite him.This is really a strange logic.The root of this logic is that Bai Xiaoxi wanted to give Zhao Duo an explanation in his conscience, but he didn't want Zhou Yulou to suffer misfortune. But at the same time, Bai Xiaoxi was also thinking about the possibility - what if Zhou Yulou was really fooled?Once I lost this bet, Zhou Yulou was really invited out, really walked into Zhao Duo's hut, and really... then I personally sent Zhou Yulou to peril?However, judging from the situation of so many days, that possibility should not exist.Bai Xiaoxi thought, when faced with his invitation, Zhou Yulou's only reaction should be a cold rejection. So go ahead and extend that invitation to him. Bai Xiaoxi said to Zhou Yulou in his heart: These days, you have been treating a girl who loves you so cruelly. Now, it's time for this cruelty to bring you good luck. Can you hold on to your luck?
