Chapter 5

This video is beneficial to Chen Ya and me. It can bring Yang Jun to justice. However, it can also prove my cowardice.

Now I can shamelessly continue to live in the Chen family, but if the video is released, what face do I have to face?

In the picture, my fear and humble kneeling posture watched my sister forced, but I was indifferent.

How can adoptive parents not feel cold when they see it?

Even I'm ashamed of myself, not to mention them?

I hesitated and silently returned home. My adoptive parents took care of Xiaoya in the hospital. I was hungry, but I had no appetite. I forced to eat some leftovers.

In ten days, my adoptive parents didn't come back, and I didn't go out. I don't know if anything happened in the hospital.

But in these ten days, I hesitated whether to publish the video or not.

That afternoon, the adoptive parents went home and took Xiaoya home. I stood silently in front of the door frame and looked at Xiaoya's neck wrapped in gauze. My mood was complex.

Xiaoya turned a blind eye to me, as if she didn't exist at all. She ignored me directly and returned to the room. Soon after, I heard her slight sob.

In the living room, my adoptive mother said to me with a cold face, "Chen Qiu, do you have any video on your hand?"

My heart suddenly lifted up and pretended to be puzzled and asked, "what video?"

The adoptive father lit a cigarette. Amid the smoke, he said in a deep voice: "these two days, the people of the Yang family suddenly changed their attitude and said they were willing to compensate Xiaoya for all the losses, and would not sue you. They were also willing to compensate for a lot of expenses, but the request was to hand in the video. Therefore, your mother and I asked if you had any video?"

It seems that Gao Yu has told Yang Jun the situation. This bastard, seeing that things can't be done, he wants to solve it with money?

I thought about it and replied, "Dad, I didn't."

In my heart, I have made a decision!

"All right!" The adoptive father sighed deeply.

I looked at the two old men. It was true that they had white hair all night. Their original dark hair is now half white.

The adoptive father said in a deep voice: "this video should be the evidence against the Yang family. If I can catch it, I will lose all my money and break the net with the Yang family fish!"

The adoptive mother also nodded heavily, with tears in her eyes, and said sadly, "his daughter has suffered so much, and he wants to settle it with money? Is money really everything?"

I looked at the second old man, bit my lips and asked tentatively, "Mom and Dad, i... can I go and see Xiaoya?"

"Don't go." The adoptive mother said coldly, "she sees you as an eyesore. Besides, don't call me mom. I'm not qualified."

"I..." I was red eyed and wanted to cry wrongly. My adoptive father sighed, "forget it, go and have a look!"

With permission, I got up and walked to the door of Xiaoya's room. I gently pushed the door open. At this time, Xiaoya lay in bed expressionless. When I saw me, I sneered and said, "why, come and see my joke?"

I hung my head and said guilt: "Xiaoya, I'm really sorry! It's all my fault."

Xiaoya didn't speak. Her eyes gradually turned red and she was silent for a long time before she said coldly to me, "do you know how much I hate you?"

This time, if I didn't speak, I know that all apologies are useless. It's only useful to stand up at the critical moment.

And I, a coward who can only move his mouth, have no right to repent.

Xiaoya shed tears and forced a smile on her pale face: "do you know how much a scar on her neck will hurt a girl's future? This scar will accompany me all my life! In the future, as long as I look in the mirror, I will see this scar and think of that night!"

I bit my lips and Xiaoya continued to laugh at herself: "however, I am very grateful to you. You let me understand one thing, that is, some people who you have known for ten years are not trustworthy! You let me understand that the old saying that mud can't hold up the wall is right!"

My body suddenly trembled and I was so ashamed. How regretful I was that I didn't stand up in time that night.

I didn't blame Xiaoya, because I'm not qualified at all. This happened because of me. If Xiaoya didn't want me not to be bullied by Yang Jun in the future, she wouldn't go to the bar, let alone the next thing.

"Have you seen enough jokes? If you have, go away! I don't want to see you now." Xiaoya opened her mouth slowly, and her tone was full of contempt.

I turned and left the room, silently returned to my room, and just sat there.

Soon after, I opened the drawer and found an unopened music box, which I bought some time ago.

I remember once after school, passing by a toy store, Xiaoya, who was still childlike, took a fancy to this music box and said to me: how nice it would be if she could buy one and put it in front of her desk.

I deeply remember that since then, I have been diligent and thrifty. I ate less than one dish at each meal. Finally, I saved money and prepared to surprise her on her birthday.

Today is Xiaoya's birthday. Originally, at this time, we should get together and sing a birthday song to wish her a happy birthday.

However, we all have our own thoughts and are in no mood.

I just stared at the music box for a long time.

When I recovered, it was already one o'clock in the morning.

I took a deep breath, took out a piece of paper, put Gaoyu's mobile phone on the table and began to write slowly with a pen: "sorry, mom and Dad, sorry, sister, please allow me to call you like this for the last time. I know that apology can't make up for my debt to you.

When you see this letter, I have left, Xiaoya. This is my birthday present for you. I hope you like it!

I have no face to stay at home. Dad, there is a video on my mobile phone. I hope you can not let go of Yang Jun, an asshole. You must bring him to justice.

Don't look for me. It's all up to me to die or live. If I can achieve something, I'll come back one day!

Maybe one year, maybe ten years, maybe a lifetime, but I hope you can look at me with new eyes on the day I come back.

Chen qiuliu. "

When I finished writing this letter, I picked up my prepared bag and crept to the living room. I could still hear Xiaoya's slight sobs and her parents' sighs.

I clenched my teeth and left home silently.

When the door closed, there was still a sound. I heard someone walking in the living room. I didn't know whether it was adoptive parents or Xiaoya.

When I got downstairs, I disappeared into the darkness in the dark.

"Chen Qiu!" I heard someone calling me. It seems to be a small and elegant voice. How I want to look back, but I don't deserve it!

A cowardly Chen Qiu is not qualified to be Xiaoya's brother!

I believe that one day, I will stand in front of them again and protect them from the wind and rain for the rest of my life!
