A charming and dangerous character

Chapter 1 Prologue My soul thirsts for thee like a parched land

When the campus bell rang for the ninth time, the autumn wind blew a few fallen leaves and an advertisement with yellowed corners towards Cheng Youting who was hurrying forward.

He tore off the flyer pasted in front of his eyes, and a girl's sullen face soon appeared underneath.

"Damn! Who posted this? Don't you have eyes?"

Cheng Youting had just finished arguing with her mother at home and was worried that there was no way to resolve her anger. She tore the advertisement into balls in her hands: "You can send a flyer to someone's face, how fucking long are your hands..."

He was about to use words to teach the other party to "be a man" again, but the moment he raised his head, a pair of blank and empty eyes came into Cheng Youting's field of vision unexpectedly——

What a pair of terrible eyes.

The pupils were dilated, and the color of the fundus was yellowish like the dirty sewage in the sewer, and what was even more permeating was that the eyeballs were covered with dense red blood threads like spider webs.

Although it was pitch black and the street lights were pale, it was far less terrifying than the scene in front of him.The cold autumn wind continued to climb along the calf, Cheng Youting was frightened by the other party's eyes, and almost cried out.

But it's not easy to show cowardice after scolding someone just now, so Cheng Youting swallowed back the screaming, but couldn't help but say: "Fuck, you don't stay at home at night, you come out to scare people..."

Cheng Youting took a closer look and realized that it was actually a crazy old woman who was posting the advertisement.But this woman didn't care even if she heard her scolding, she just mechanically apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

"What a ghost!" Cheng Youting saw that the other party was about the same age as her mother, and thought she was unlucky and just wanted to walk away, but the woman suddenly raised her head and startled her again.

"Damn, please! Auntie, you can easily scare people to death like this!"

But the woman just stared at Cheng Youting hard, and kept looking up and down, until Cheng Youting was terrified by those black eyes, the woman moved her lips slowly, and said the question that had been repeated so many times.

"Girl, girl... have you seen my daughter?"

Cheng Youting unfolded the ball of paper in her hand suspiciously. There was actually a photo printed on it. Even if it was crushed, you could still see the girl's delicate features—but the caption read:

"I went bankrupt looking for my daughter, and traveled thousands of miles hoping to be reunited"

It turned out that what this aunt posted was not an ordinary advertisement.

The more the woman talked, the more excited she became, she suddenly grabbed Cheng Youting's hand, and her eyes widened instantly: "Girl, my daughter is about your age... She was tricked from her hometown to work in the city, and after that, I couldn't contact her anymore." It's her time..."

"I beg you! Help me, help me find her..."

The woman in a state of madness has great strength, and Cheng Youting immediately felt that her wrist was tightly grasped and painful. Now she is really a little scared: "I don't know your daughter! Let me go!"

Cheng Youting shook her arms from side to side, finally escaped from the mad woman's grasp, and ran all the way for a long way before she dared to stop.

She felt that she was really unlucky. First, she was scolded by her mother at home and then went out to meet a lunatic.

"what is it today!"

She stood on the spot and moved her wrist briefly. The bleak autumn wind calmed her mind, and then she suddenly remembered the real purpose of her trip: "Oops... Amber probably arrived early!"

Cheng Youting, who almost delayed her schedule, had no choice but to continue running to the place she had made an appointment with.

"Jingle Bell……"

The lucky cat pendant hanging on the door kept ringing. After Cheng Youting entered a milk tea shop in the alley behind the school, she immediately saw her friend sitting by the window.

Amber, who was looking out the window, heard the door open, and when she turned her head, she saw her friend coming from outside with a displeased expression on her face.Carefully, she noticed something was wrong: "Why are you here so late? Did something happen to you on the way here, You Ting?"

"Don't mention it!" Cheng Youting sat down angrily, picked up the cup in front of her and took a sip of milk tea: "I met a crazy woman just now! Fortunately, she ran so fast, I was so scared to death!"

"Crazy woman?" Amber showed a puzzled expression, obviously she didn't see it when she came over: "Does the woman you mentioned have anything to do with you asking me to come out?"

"No, no, it's not because of this." Thinking of the real reason, Cheng Youting felt her head hurt even more.She simply explained in a few words: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that I quarreled with my mother again, and I couldn't stay at home, so I asked you to come out."

After finishing speaking, she was like a deflated ball, laying half of her body on the table in a sluggish way: "I really envy you! Without parents nagging, I listen to my mother talking about what a girl should do at home all day long. What shouldn't be done... It's really annoying to death!"

But Amber just smiled and didn't talk to her.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the heart—even though some people say something that is not their intention, it is really heart-wrenching.

Cheng Youting suddenly remembered Amber's expression when she entered the door just now, and the original unhappiness disappeared in an instant.She asked curiously: "By the way, Amber, what did you look at before I came in? Don't hide it from me, I have seen it all! Did you look at the handsome guy?"

Amber didn't hide from her either, she smiled and raised her head out of the window, indicating with her eyes the direction Cheng Youting was looking at.

"Eh?" Cheng Youting looked along and found that there seemed to be someone sitting in the shadow in the corner not far from the school: "It's so late, why is there someone sitting outside? Isn't he cold?"

In this small northern city that has entered late autumn, the nighttime temperature is not as friendly as the weather forecast shows.

Amber shook her head and said, "I don't know either, I just happened to see it. It might be someone who was drunk."

The location there is really remote, it's a narrow gap between two residential buildings, if Amber wasn't careful, Cheng Youting might not have noticed it at all.

And the man happened to have his back to their direction, and there were no street lights nearby, so the two girls could only vaguely see the outline of the man in a suit by the moonlight.

But Cheng Youting still judged from the man's tall stature that he was a man, and noticed with sharp eyes that there seemed to be a large bag at the man's feet.

"I guess that person is a white-collar worker!"

Judging by his attire, that person really looked like an office worker who came here to sober up after drinking too much.However, Cheng Youting continued to talk nonchalantly: "He should...be still a handsome guy!"

Seeing the man's straight back even though he was drunk, she immediately imagined countless scenes, and she also thought that she must take Amber to see him: "Amber! Come with me to see him, okay? He The face must be super handsome!"

But Amber observed that the person's body didn't shake much, and thought: This person might not just sit there "drunk".

"Shouldn't you go?" So she said worriedly, "If you're really drunk and then go crazy... we'd better not take the initiative to provoke you."

Cheng Youting could hear the reluctance in An Po's words, looking at the tall and straight figure, although her tone was resentful, she could also hear her reluctance: "Well, it's a pity that you can only watch but not eat... ..."

Of course, this was just an episode after the pair of girlfriends met.Cheng Youting then acted as if she had forgotten that man in a blink of an eye, and the time passed quickly in the pleasant chat between the two.

But when she looked up again, Amber realized that the time was already very late, so she tentatively asked her friend: "You Ting, it's already ten o'clock... Do you want to go home first?"

Cheng Youting shook her head like a rattle, as if she was still angry: "No! I don't want to go back to that wretched place!"

——But it's so late now, where can they go if they don't go home?

Cheng Youting thought for a while, and simply suggested: "Amber, do you want to go back to sleep? If you're not sleepy... Otherwise, why don't you accompany me to the nightclub later?"

Amber, who grew up in an orphanage, was not touched by nightclubs, a place where minors are theoretically rejected, but the actual operation is another matter.

But she turned her head, as if she wanted to refuse again: "School starts tomorrow, if we stay up all night tonight, will it be delayed..."

"At most, it's just to catch up on sleep in class! Besides, Amber, I did a lot of cover for you before! You live in the dormitory and sneak out in the middle of the night, don't think I don't know!"

Cheng Youting thought she had taken advantage of Amber's weakness, and kept acting coquettishly at her like a cat: "You just go with me, just go and have a look, let's go~"

Seeing that Amber finally nodded her head, Cheng Youting cheered: "An'an, I knew you were the best for me!"

Amber had no choice but to smile: "I'm afraid of you..."

The two put on their coats and were about to set off, but Cheng Youting glanced out of the window, but was completely attracted by the man who also started to move before.

"Hey!" So Cheng Youting hurriedly dragged her friend to stop, she screamed: "An'an! That man seems to have moved!"

But she soon felt puzzled: "But... I don't think he looks like a drunk person when he walks?"

Do drunk people walk so fast?

Amber was not surprised. She stretched out her finger to touch Cheng Youting's head, but she was easily avoided by her friend: "I know why you were told not to go there just now."

"How can a normal person still sit there so late? There are neither street lights nor surveillance cameras here. Aren't you afraid of encountering bad guys?"

Those who dare to be alone in the dark and not afraid of danger are definitely not good, if not bad.

But while Amber was talking, Cheng Youting saw the man turn around suddenly with sharp eyes—and looking at the direction of his feet, it seemed to be walking towards them!

"An'an, he seems to be coming to our place!"

The man's legs were slender and he was walking extremely fast. As soon as the voice fell, Cheng Youting watched him walk to a small road next to the milk tea shop.

Afterwards, the man's figure completely disappeared from her vision.

But Cheng Youting happened to catch a glimpse of the statue-like three-dimensional face when the man turned around—it was an astonishing appearance that could not be described in words, like an elegant god that only existed in legends, and it was God's most eccentric grace. Rewards and blessings.

But this rare and beautiful skin gradually overlaps with some things in Cheng Youting's heart.

Cheng Youting also became emotional immediately, she grabbed Amber's hand and shook it crazily: "Oh my God! An'an, I seem to recognize him!"

"I didn't expect it to be him... Ah! An'an! I'm really going crazy!"

"Huh?" The man left too quickly just now, and Amber hadn't had time to look back.

"He is the director of the Arrow Group who came to our school before!" Cheng Youting's heart was beating fast and her hands and feet were extremely cold, but she still hurriedly explained to her friend: "It's the star entrepreneur who always appears on TV. If I remember correctly—"

"His name should be 'Qiu Chuyi'!"

When Amber heard this, her heart was agitated, but she still deliberately kept her tone unchanged, and said indifferently: "Oh, it turned out to be him."

Cheng Youting seemed to have been dazzled by the excitement and excitement at this moment, she didn't care about her friend's tone, she just said to herself: "But...it's already so late, what is he doing here?"

"Could it be...do people like him have troubles?"

She acted like all the little girls in adolescence who love to fantasize, and Cheng Youting, who has some careful thoughts, soon realized another thing: "Did he forget to take his bag away!"

She was sure that when she was looking at it just now, Qiu Chuyi did not take away the bag that was originally at her feet.

Cheng Youting felt her heart beat so fast before.She turned around and stared at her friend closely, her eyes burning: "Amber! I want to tell you something very important! A major event related to my future happiness!"

"Huh?" Amber is already used to his friend's exaggerated rhetorical style: "What's a 'big' thing? Tell me about it."

"Qiu Chuyi, it seems that he left his bag...you accompany me, let's go and deliver his bag together!"

"please do not……"

Before Amber finished speaking, Cheng Youting seemed not to hear.She picked up her friend and walked towards the place where Qiu Chuyi sat just now. More precisely, the two girls should have run over at a speed of [-] meters.

They soon came to the corner.

This is an open space between two residential buildings behind Yuying Middle School. Except for a dilapidated chair, it can barely stand two girls.

The temperature here is very low, but Cheng Youting seems to be able to feel the lingering warmth left by that person in the air, and even recalls that Qiu Chuyi was sitting here just now, even though his face was frowning, he was still handsome and charming.

Then she bent down, gently trying to pick up the bag under the chair, but she didn't expect the bag to be heavy—and when she got closer, she realized that it wasn't a handbag for work at all. Instead, it looks more like a bigger gym bag.

In the end, Cheng Youting dragged it out together with Amber.

"Why is it so heavy!" Cheng Youting couldn't help complaining.

"Isn't it enough to put a few towels and a bottle of water in the gym bag?" She seemed a little worried that she would be thankless: "Is it possible that he also put two dumbbells in this bag?"

As he spoke, he wanted to open the bag to see what was inside.

However, Amber stopped her friend in time: "This is someone else's thing, let's not touch it?" For some reason, she was still feeling a little uncomfortable: "If there is any valuables in it, it won't be too bad if you lose it." alright……"

But Cheng Youting felt that it was nothing, and even found a reasonable excuse for herself: "Oh! We sent him the bag. If the contents are lost, it will definitely be our fault whether we opened it before or not! Why not Open it now!"

"Besides, I'm just looking to see if there are any dumbbells hidden in here, and it's not really stealing. Why are you stopping me?"

After finishing speaking, she slapped Amber's hand away and continued to unzip the gym bag.

At this moment, she felt uneasy about lifting the bride's hijab.

The sound of zipper rubbing resounded in the ears of the two of them in silence.

The pleasure of prying into privacy keeps piling up like an ocean wave.

Finally opened.

After seeing the contents of the bag clearly, Cheng Youting made a "plop" and sat limply on the ground.

Amber is still standing, but if you look closely, you will find that the calm expression has been completely replaced by shock and amazement.

Immediately afterwards, a piercing female scream pierced the dark night sky like a zipper just now.

But all of this was overshadowed just in time by the school's Westminster ten strikes.

As a result, the items in the bag were secretly exposed to the moonlight——

A pale and lifeless right hand,

There is also a lifeless female head with a delicate face.

***

There seemed to be a voice coming from the darkness.

I don't know whether it is the woman who died in vain or the man who left and prayed to God:

"I stretch out my hands to you, my soul yearns for you like the dry earth, for my heart looks to you."

"Lead me!"

"For you, I lift my soul."
