Chapter 78 The Iron Triangle with One Corner Missing

At this point, I couldn't help but stop talking and turned to look at Xiao Zhengxuan who was standing beside me. He gently took the teacup from my hand, and then poured the cold tea into the lake without hesitation.

Then, he picked up the teapot and filled me up with a cup of steaming hot tea. He smiled and said to me, "Don't drink tea when it's cold. It may hurt your stomach."

I took the cup and slowly put it to my lips, took a sip, and then slowly put the cup down. The fragrance of tea filled the air, as if it had given everything around it a fresh scent.

"So, did the other member of your iron triangle also travel through time?" Xiao Zhengxuan asked curiously.

I stared at him, shook my head helplessly, and sighed, "Ah, how I wish she really had traveled through time..."

Thinking of this, I raised my head and said proudly: "But if she really traveled through time, you will have female officials in the near future~"

After drinking the tea, I gently placed the cup on the table, turned my eyes to the mirror-like calm lake in front of me, and my thoughts gradually drifted away.

"Her name is Li Xiwei. She has been an outstanding student since she was young. After entering university, she won the grade scholarship every year, which is unmatched by anyone.

Later, Shun decided to take the postgraduate entrance examination. Leilei and I both supported her with both hands and joked that we should hold her thighs tightly. We looked forward to her being able to make a name for herself and take us to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks in the future. "Recalling that time, I couldn't help laughing, and my eyes couldn't help but look at Xiao Zhengxuan, as if I wanted to share this beautiful memory with him.

"Well, what next?" Xiao Zhengxuan asked, following up on what I said.

"It was a sunny afternoon, and the three of us met in a cozy restaurant. When she announced her decision to give up the postgraduate entrance examination, it was like a thunderclap exploding in our ears.

Lei Lei and I stared at her with eyes wide open in disbelief. How could she make such a choice? This is completely contrary to our perception of her!" I slowly explained to Xiao Zhengxuan.

【remember】

"What?" Leilei and I asked in unison, our voices filled with surprise and confusion.

"Hey, don't get excited, both of you. Listen to me, you know I had a boyfriend in high school, right?" She spoke hesitantly, seeming to find it difficult to speak.

Lei Lei then said, "Yes, but he failed the college entrance examination and couldn't get into the same school as you. But aren't you guys out of touch now?"

She lowered her head slightly, fiddling with the cutlery in her hands, and said softly, "Well, it's him, I might marry him."

The moment we heard the news, time seemed to freeze. Leilei and I were stunned, our mouths opened wide, but we couldn't make a sound. We couldn't believe our ears. This sudden news caught us off guard.

"What, what, what! With your boyfriend?" Lei Lei finally came to her senses and asked in confusion.

She nodded silently, with a determined light in her eyes. But the decision to get married was too unexpected for her who was still studying.

"Hey, that's not right. Your relationship is so good that you want to give up your studies and get married? Besides, getting married won't prevent you from taking the postgraduate entrance examination!" I immediately agreed.

"Yes, but he doesn't agree with me continuing to study after marriage. He thinks that I will have no energy to take care of the family." Li Xiwei said helplessly.

"Your parents worked so hard to send you to school, just for you to be a nanny in someone else's home? Your brain must have been damaged by studying too much!" Lei Lei slammed the table in anger.

"Don't be angry, don't be angry~ I'd better tell you, I'm actually pregnant." Xiwei said, stroking her belly.

"So what if you're pregnant? Pregnancy won't affect your postgraduate entrance exam. What's your dream? Don't you want to study medicine and biology? Don't you want to cure your grandmother's illness? And the topic you are working on now is just right for you! Why would you give up such a good opportunity so easily?" I really couldn't understand and kept asking.

"He said, he said, when I study this topic I have to do experiments and I'm afraid it will be bad for the fetus~" Xiwei murmured to herself, tears streaming down her face, her voice choked with sobs, "Actually, I don't want to give up, but I really can't!" As she spoke, she lowered her head and wiped away her tears with her hands.

Lei Lei felt so distressed looking at her, but she still tried to suppress her emotions and said, "Is this child really that important? Think about your future. What kind of family will this child grow up in after it is born? What can you and your crappy boyfriend give to this child? Your life will be ruined then!" Lei Lei's eyes were full of worry and anxiety. She first looked at Xiwei's belly, then raised her head and looked directly into Xiwei's eyes.

However, Xiwei seemed not to have heard it and continued to talk to herself: "But he said that it's okay if I don't want the child, he just worried that I would hurt my body during the surgery." There was a hint of helplessness and confusion in her tone.

"You believe that? Xiwei, let me tell you something unpleasant. Your boyfriend is not doing well. He doesn't want you to be well." I finally couldn't help it and said all my thoughts out loud. "I know these words may hurt you, Xiwei, but I don't want to see you being blinded by that man and ruining your life."

Lei Lei immediately agreed, "That's right, that's what Xiao Xu said. Even their whole family wants to lock you down! If you don't want to give up the child, of course you can give birth to it. After all, it's totally fine for the three of us to raise a child together. But this marriage must not be concluded!"

“Yes, yes, if you agree, then I will explain the situation to my father as soon as I return, and then go directly to work in his company and never go out to work again.

You can rest assured that you and your children will have a well-fed, well-clothed, worry-free life. Please think about it carefully, please." I tried my best to persuade her.

"Well! I will definitely consider it carefully. Thank you very much! I am so happy to have good friends like you~ It allows me to have a way out..." As soon as she finished speaking, she began to cry loudly.

【End of memories】

"Then, I guess this Miss Li didn't get married?" Xiao Zhengxuan looked at me curiously and asked.

"Alas..." I sighed deeply, then looked at him helplessly and said, "A few days later, Leilei and I received news that she was going to get married. After asking, we learned that it was Xiwei's mother who felt that the child couldn't live without a father, so she insisted on letting her get married."

As I recalled the scene at that time, I continued to say to Xiao Zhengxuan: "There was no ceremony or banquet when she got married. Lei Lei and I just wrapped a big red envelope together and gave it to her.

Later, she gave birth to a child, a little girl who was as beautiful as her, so adorable. However...about half a year later...I suddenly received a call from Xiwei's mother, she said she had depression and wanted to see us. "At this point, my tears began to well up in my eyes and my voice became a little choked.

"When Leilei and I entered her room, we saw a heartbreaking scene - Li Xiwei, who used to be full of confidence and high spirits, now looked haggard, as if her vitality had been drained away, and she lay there powerlessly.

Her eyes were dull and lifeless, and she had lost her former spirit. She was completely different from the arrogant look when she threw the money on the dining table after receiving the scholarship. "Speaking of this, my tears still flowed uncontrollably. I thought that with the passage of time, this memory would gradually fade, but I didn't expect that every detail was still vivid in my mind when I mentioned it.

I wiped away the tears from my eyes and continued, "When she saw us coming to visit, she tried her best to support her weak body and rushed towards us, muttering to herself, 'She was wrong, she was wrong.'"

【remember】

"What's wrong with you?" Leilei and I hurriedly helped Xiwei up and asked with concern.

However, Li Xiwei just shook his head woodenly and repeated: "I was wrong, I was wrong."

At this time, Li Xiwei's mother walked into the room holding the baby, muttering: "This girl has become stupid from studying too much! Look at her, now she doesn't even want to look at her own flesh and blood. She just lies in bed and pretends to be dead all day long."

Hearing this, Leilei was about to get angry, but I quickly reached out to hold her and gently shook my head at her.

Then, I turned around and helped Li Xiwei up from the bed, then looked at her seriously and said, "Xiwei, do you really want to eat the ice cream at the store in front of the school?"

Before he finished speaking, Lei Lei beside him quickly agreed: "Yes, yes, I think you are suffering from postpartum depression. Let's go out for a walk, and your mood will definitely get better. Don't you think so, Auntie?"

"Yeah, that's right. Then you can take her out for a while, but remember to come back early. After all, a child can't be without her mother for a long time! And she still has to breastfeed the child." Li Xiwei's mother said as she turned around and walked out of the bedroom holding the child.

Leilei and I looked at each other, and then I randomly picked out a piece of clothing from the closet and put it on her.

Then, we both carefully helped her to the ground and prepared to walk out the door.

However, what was unexpected was that when we walked to the door, we happened to run into Li Xiwei's husband coming home from get off work.

When he saw that the three of us were about to go out, the man tried his best to stop her from leaving as if he was facing a great enemy.

No matter how we talked to her husband, he just held his body against the door and wouldn't let us leave.

Xiwei said calmly: "Forget it, I'm not going. You two can go first. My head is starting to hurt again. I need to go back to bed and rest for a while."

"Let's go! My wife told you to leave!" The man began to drive us away.

Our gaze from Xiwei was ruthlessly separated by the closed door.

"Call the police!" I said to Leilei.

"Yeah, it's going on!" She took my arm and we rushed downstairs quickly.

However, unexpectedly, the first car to arrive at the scene was not a police car, but an ambulance. It did not stop in front of our building, but drove to the back of the building.

We looked at each other, and a bad feeling welled up in our hearts, so we ran after the ambulance without hesitation. Sure enough, the person lying on the ground was Xiwei, who was still wearing the mismatched clothes we had put on her.

"Xiwei!" Leilei and I screamed heartbreakingly, using all our strength to try to break through the crowd, but we were outnumbered and were soon stopped by more people!

Only then did we look up and see Xiwei's mother standing upstairs. She was looking down with a sad face and crying out loudly, "Oh my dear daughter!"

【End of memories】

After my thoughts slowly calmed down, I slowly told Xiao Zhengxuan what happened afterwards: "Later, I heard from Xiwei's mother that the man didn't want this child, and the main reason was because it was a girl.

Xiwei's mother couldn't bear to abandon her daughter's flesh and blood, and in order to leave a memory for herself, she chose to take the child back to her rural hometown. Alas, I hope this poor child will not follow in her mother's footsteps..." Speaking of this, I couldn't help but sigh heavily, then picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Then why did Miss Li commit suicide?" Xiao Zhengxuan's eyes were full of confusion and puzzlement.

"One day after Xiwei left, the police found Leilei and me and said that they found a suicide note left for us in her pocket that day.

It turned out that her boyfriend had deceived her into marriage from the very beginning, and in order to prevent her from taking the postgraduate entrance examination, he even made her pregnant before marriage.

Afterwards, he returned to their hometown and spread the matter throughout the village, using rumors to force her to marry the murderer.

After marriage, she gave birth to a daughter. Seeing this cute little girl, everything seemed to be hopeful again. But just five months later, the man's family forced her to have a second child. If she disagreed, she would be beaten!

She was an excellent student who excelled in every aspect! Yet, she was hurt so ruthlessly by the person closest to her!

In fact, we were almost able to rescue her that day!" At this point, I couldn't stop crying.

Xiao Zhengxuan frowned, trying hard to recall every word I had just said. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something: "It's the school... the ice at the school gate..." he muttered to himself, as if he had grasped a clue.

“Yes, that sentence is the unique code between us. Back then, whenever one of us made a mistake and was locked up at home, the other two would go to visit and use this trick to cleverly lure that person out of the house. However, now it seems that this trick cannot really save lives... It can only be regarded as a clever trick at best, hiccups..." I kept hiccuping while crying, trying to calm myself down a little.
