belated antidote

=======

The deep and mellow voice in the past was so sharp and piercing now, Qi Dongqing looked at the face that had fooled the whole school with astonishment, and said in disbelief, "What did you say?"

The boy who whistled at him just now patted his face with the back of his hand: "Say you have no shame, little gay."

At that time, Qi Dongqing didn't know that there was a saying of "the collapse of human design". He only knew that the boy who made his heart was wearing a beautiful and perfect coat every day, in fact, it was to cover up the arrogance, arrogance and rudeness deep in his heart.

Qi Dongqing bit her lower lip tightly, unwilling to believe the shattered spirit brought about by this scene, and whispered in a daze: "Aren't we dating? How can you say that..."

Chang Xu gradually narrowed his eyes amidst the laughter of his friends, and glanced from top to bottom at the cheap object who was immersed in shock and was dumbfounded: "I said it to tease you, why do you take it seriously?"

Chang Xu skillfully took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket, and brought the two-day interface in front of Qi Dongqing: "I said it clearly that day, it's too ignorant for you to pretend that you didn't see it."

Chang Xu: [Holly, give me a chance to take care of you. ]

Chang Xu: [Shall we be together? ]

Qi Dongqing: [Senior, are you... serious? ]

Chang Xu: [I like you very much, I will chase you first before you agree. ]

Qi Dongqing: [Actually, you don't need to chase.Because I like you too (shy face)]

So far, Qi Dongqing still has memories, but with the sliding of Chang Xu's fingertips, he saw the last message at about 11:57.

Chang Xu: [I'm sorry elementary school brother, I'm actually Chang Shao's friend, I took his mobile phone while he was asleep at the class reunion, just kidding, don't take it seriously. ]

It turned out that the sweetness of the secret love that came true was due to his self-indulgence, and this message that was ignored due to an accident became the root of all misunderstandings.Even so, Qi Dongqing subconsciously chose to excuse the person involved. He thought painfully that Chang Xu might not know about it.

Qi Dongqing shook her head desperately: "I fell asleep after replying to you that day, my phone ran out of battery and turned off, and I didn't have time to read it the next day..."

This explanation seems low-level and clumsy to Chang Xu and his friends, and no one wants to believe it.

"I told you that when I bet, he must have shamelessly chased Chang Shao and posted it."

"Okay, I owe you a set of skins."

"Don't forget there are Chang Shao."

Every sentence fell on Qi Dongqing's face like a silent slap, and when he recovered, he realized that the corners of his eyes were a little cold.

It turns out... It turns out that Chang Xu knew and approved of this gamble from the beginning to the end, and might even be the one who instigated it.

My own feelings are just a random and frivolous bet among this group of people, which is no different from speculating on the color and size of other people's underwear.

The feeling of being humiliated is like a black cloth exposed to the midday sun, surrounded by open space without a blade of grass, and the continuous burning and scorching gradually stings the skin, and there is no avoiding it.

After all, it was something that was not accepted by the mainstream society at the time, and Qi Dongqing was the first to fall, so not only would he not be able to burn everything if he went out, but the fire he attracted would hardly harm Chang Xu.During the long time of getting along, Chang Xu has already grasped Qi Dongqing's soft and bully temperament, and he is expected to dare not speak up.

Qi Dongqing wanted to escape immediately, but the huge psychological stimulation made him lose his strength.He wanted to argue, but his voice was like a spring blocked by sand and dust, and no sound came out.

When he finally regained his composure and was about to run, he was dragged back by someone grabbing his schoolbag from behind, and a new round of verbal insults fell like afternoon rain near the equator.

"Why are you running, don't you get bored with the girl of your dreams for a while longer?"

"Don't be shy, hahahaha..."

Qi Dongqing could only squat down against the wall, covering her face that was flushed with shame, and shrinking herself into a mushroom.

"Dog, is it reasonable to bully a younger brother?"

If fairy tales are true, Xia Zelan is the knight who rescued the prince from the dragon's lair.Qi Dongqing still remembered that Xia Zelan jumped off the railing, forcibly separated from the shackles of the group of people, and firmly blocked him behind.

One of the boys rolled his eyes, and said in a strange way: "It's none of your business if you still want to be a hero to save the beauty with this quail body?"

Xia Zelan ignored him at all, but stared straight at Chang Xu behind, and sneered: "The fox's tail is finally exposed, your usual hypocrisy has already made me sick to death."

Chang Xu's breathing stopped suddenly, and he looked back at each other coldly.

"At the party that day, I recorded all your loud plots in the bathroom." Xia Zelan held the hard core evidence in her hand and directly shocked the scene.

"Xia Zelan, who are you scaring?"

Chang Xu, who saw the new news on his phone, quickly grabbed his irritable friend, put on his earphones and listened for a few seconds, his face gradually froze.

Satisfied with the chaotic appearance of the people in front of her, Xia Zelan raised her chin and issued an ultimatum: "If you don't want your trash to be exposed, get out of here, and be your movie star honestly, don't come out and mess around with others."

In the end, Chang Xu led the people away in disgrace, and before leaving, he said "bad luck" viciously.

Xia Zelan was obviously still aggrieved, pointing at the person's back and couldn't help cursing: "The recording should be released in the school assembly, so that the little fools who admire this bastard thing can wake up and realize the reality earlier."

Seeing the poor little man in front of him lower his head lower, he suddenly realized that he was talking too fast just now, and he hurriedly comforted him: "That... I didn't mean to scold you."

"thanks……"

In a short period of ten minutes, one wave after another of changes made Qi Dongqing numb with pain.The tiny and transparent sincerity was trampled on the soles of his feet. At the age of 16, he did not feel the youthful beauty of mutual affection in school, but prematurely experienced the emotional hurt that others may not encounter in their lifetime.

Even so, he still chooses to trust others unconditionally, but he has learned to be more careful, and his natural kindness gradually has a bottom line.

"It's not your fault to be kind, so why change it." Xia Zelan told him, "It's okay to be kind, but it's not okay to be bullied. Only by hitting hard at the right time can others know that you are not easy to mess with at all."

After sleeping, Qi Dongqing seemed as if nothing had happened.This very painful experience did not have much impact on his normal study and life. He didn't blame anyone, and he was able to greet Chang Xu calmly when he met in the club, but the other party was guilty of a guilty conscience and kept avoiding him.

The only change may be that Qi Dongqing gradually became timid in the face of feelings, which he only realized when he finally fell in love with someone hopelessly again.Facing Zhong Huaiyuan, Qi Dongqing was still unable to take the step of testing.He is more afraid of being misunderstood than being hurt.

Qi Dongqing will never forget that day, God arranged for him a challenge with a scumbag, and also sent him a close friend to help him out.

"Thank you for coming down from the sky to save me." Qi Dongqing, who broke free from the memories, cast extremely grateful eyes on the people around her.

"Master, I punished the evil and promoted the good, eliminated harm for the people, and saved you from the fire!" Xia Zelan snorted softly, and still felt sincerely after scolding that person after so many years, "I will tear off that person's ugly face." Sure, when I saw them taking you away, I knew it was going to be all right."

"I'm really good at identifying scum, okay?" Xia Zelan couldn't help boasting.

It was only later that Qi Dongqing discovered that Chang Xu's disguise was traceable everywhere. In order to create a perfect character, every step was carefully calculated, sometimes with excessive force, but more often than not, he walked on thin ice.

"He should suffer more than me. He is afraid of being exposed, and lives in anxiety every day." Qi Dongqing shook his head, sighing regretfully for the person in his memory.

Xia Zelan had no mercy for him, and she almost rolled her eyes to the sky: "It's his fault, if you pretend to be X like this, you will overturn sooner or later."

Not everyone can live a clear and transparent life. Most of the time, people will more or less choose to cater to the eyes of others and force themselves into shoes that are not suitable at all.Qi Dongqing never judged the right or wrong of this kind of practice, everyone's decision is not easy.There are too few Cinderellas who can be blessed by luck, and most of them are stepsisters who suffer from flesh and blood.

Qi Dongqing does not want these bad pasts to become a stumbling block to his pursuit of happiness, and he also deeply knows that the only way to check the wound healing is to tear off the dressing covering the surface with his own hands.

Fortunately, when she met Zhong Huaiyuan, her longing for happiness finally surpassed her inner cowardice, and Qi Dongqing found a reason to reconcile with the past.
