Four days had pa.s.sed, but there was no news from Huang Li. Shen Xi asked Huang Min to send a message to urge her.
Huang Li scolded Huang Min in exasperation and then told Huang Min to wait. She would bring her mother out.
Huang Min felt a little happy thinking of Huang Li who was burning with anger on the other end of the phone. Ever since her mother entered the mental hospital four months ago, her life had not been as peaceful as it had been in the past two days.
She begged her father to pay for the treatment and begged Huang Li not to torture her mother. Every time she saw her mother being bullied by Huang Li and her mother, she felt helpless and desperate as if she was abandoned by the world.
At that time, Huang Min really wanted to drag those people who bullied her and her mother into h.e.l.l. There was nothing good about living such a life. She was having a hard time, no one else should live a better life than she had. Fortunately, someone appeared by her side like a ray of light, giving her hope again.
Huang Min looked at the back of the person in front of her under the sunlight.
Shen Xi turned around and called out to Huang Min who was lagging behind,
“Min, hurry up. There won’t be any food left in the canteen later.”
Guan Lei followed Shen Xi’s eyes and glanced at the girl behind him. Then, he said with a hint of jealousy, “Xi, you seem to be especially good to your new friend these two days.”
Shen Xi saw through Guan Lei’s awkwardness and teased, “So, are you jealous? No way, Min is a girl. Why are you jealous?”
Guan Lei thought of Li Zhe and Meng Yu and muttered, “It’s not impossible. My uncle likes men.”
Shen Xi’s eyes instantly widened as he asked nosily, “Really? Is it the uncle who gave me the raw jade, Li Zhe?”
Guan Lei nodded. Shen Xi could only explain, “I helped Min because she’s homeless now. Can you bear to see a teenage girl wandering the streets?” Speaking of Huang Min, Shen Xi sighed in her heart.
When she saw Huang Min that day, Shen Xi felt a little strange. She had never heard of Huang Min at Zhuo Ying High School in her previous life. Why was she here?
In the end, she found out that Huang Li was a student at Zhuo Ying High School. Huang Min had only agreed to be Huang Li’s slave here because of her mother.
The world was too big, and there were dirty corners that made people feel powerless and hopeless. For example, the world she faced in the past and the world Huang Min faced now.
“Xi, take this.” Guan Lei stopped as he was limping around and took out a bracelet.
Huang Min who was behind them immediately stopped and looked elsewhere.
Shen Xi looked at the bracelet and asked in confusion, “Why did you give me a bracelet when it’s not the New Year?”
Guan Lei pulled Shen Xi’s hand and put it on for her. “Can’t I send you a gift? A gentleman is good at wooing a fair lady. I have to express my love for you.”
“Didn’t we agree that we’ll talk about this after graduation?” Shen Xi looked at the bracelet on her wrist and said with mixed feelings.
Shen Xi was afraid that Guan Lei might not like her after graduation and they would part ways. It would be too troublesome to send these things back.
Guan Lei scratched Shen Xi’s delicate nose a little angrily and said, “We’ll talk about it after graduation. It doesn’t mean that I can only wait until graduation to express my love. I just like to buy small things for the person I like.”
Shen Xi looked away in embarra.s.sment.
Guan Lei did not mind that Shen Xi was trying to escape. He smiled and said, “I won’t force you to be with me now, but you can’t be so domineering. You can’t stop me from being nice to you. That’s too unfair to me, isn’t it?”
Shen Xi’s eloquence was not bad, but every time she faced Guan Lei’s straightforward words, she did not know how to respond.
“Alright, don’t have to reply me. There’s a reason why I gave you this gift.” Guan Lei looked at Shen Xi whose eyes were darting around with amus.e.m.e.nt.
Guan Lei pulled Shen Xi’s hand and pointed at the switch. “This is a hidden weapon bracelet. Just look at this b.u.t.ton. When you press it, you can shoot out a hidden weapon with an anesthetic effect. The needle is small, but it can even paralyze an elephant in a few seconds.”
Shen Xi, on the other hand, started to study the bracelet curiously. Guan Lei said that this was a good thing.
“Two days ago, when I heard that you went to save Huang Min alone, I was almost scared to death. So, I got someone to design this for you.” Guan Lei explained..
