Chapter 271 Love and Distress (4200 words)
According to the location, Yan Junze, Zhou Dali, and Shang Cuicui walked into a slightly old-fashioned residential area together. After opening the door of a unit, they were about to go up, and a woman came down in a hurry from upstairs.
This woman is wearing pajamas and holding a handbag in her hand. Although she is not dressed up, she is naturally beautiful, and she is still charming without makeup.
Come down the stairs in a hurry, look behind her, she seems to be afraid of something chasing her, but Yan Junze and others are entering the unit, squeezed through everyone sideways, and squeezed out first.
"Why is this person like this?" Shang Cuicui was bumped on the shoulder and couldn't help but say something.
The woman ignored it and walked quickly to the gate of the community.
"I came out in pajamas, there may be something important, it's okay." Zhou Dali patted Shang Cuicui's hand holding her, rubbed her shoulders, and comforted her in a low voice.
Three people followed the stairs to the second floor, and saw that the door of one of the two households on the second floor was open.
Just as he walked to the door, a cold breath came, Yan Junze was slightly taken aback, but Zhou Dali and Shang Cuicui felt nothing.
Zhou Dali opened the door and asked, "Is it Jiajie?"
A panicked and nervous voice came from the room: "Dali, you are here, come in quickly!"
Talking, Zhou Jiajie's figure quickly approached the door, his face was a little red, he was still rubbing his eyes, and his hair was messy.
"You don't need to change your shoes, just come in like this." Zhou Jiajie said again.
The three of them didn't change their shoes. Yan Junze walked into the room first, looked around, and saw that the decoration in the room was really high-grade.
Although it is rented, according to Zhou Jiajie's usual practice, he will definitely rent a better house. Saving rent is not something he considers.
However, after entering the room, Yan Junze felt the cold feeling outside the door just now.
He didn't say anything, and under Zhou Jiajie's hospitality, he entered the living room and sat down slowly near the sofa, and glanced at the marble coffee table in front of the sofa.
There is still a bowl of warm noodles on the coffee table, which is emitting a little heat.
Shang Cuicui, who was walking behind, suddenly leaned into Zhou Dali's ear, and whispered: "The woman in pajamas who went downstairs just now smelled of perfume, and this room also has it."
Zhou Dali was taken aback and didn't speak, but he obviously thought of something, and his face became a little unsightly.
"Sit first, I'll make a pot of tea for you." Zhou Jiajie ran to open the electric teapot, took out clean glasses, took out a box of good tea from the cabinet, and put some in each glass.
When walking back, Yan Junze pointed to the noodles on the coffee table and said, "You haven't eaten yet, you should eat first, or the noodles will be cold. Let's make tea later by ourselves."
Zhou Jiajie nodded. After sitting down, he didn't eat the noodles. He just pushed the bowl containing the noodles into the tea table, so as not to accidentally drop it.
"Who was that girl who went down just now?" Zhou Dali couldn't help it anymore, even though Shang Cuicui was quietly tugging at the corner of his clothes, he still asked.
Yan Junze didn't pay attention to this detail, he couldn't help but look at Zhou Jiajie in a daze.
Zhou Jiajie sighed, his eyebrows were tightly drawn together, he cast his eyes on the open living room door, and said in a bitter tone: "That's my current girlfriend, Zhang Jiayao."
"You..." Zhou Dali's whole body tensed up, his right hand moved slightly, but was held down by Shang Cuicui beside him, and shook his head at him.
"What do you mean?" Yan Junze asked Zhou Jiajie.
Zhou Jiajie's face was even more bitter, as if he couldn't even sigh: "I know you will blame me, it's my fault. But Bao Jie, I never promised from the beginning to the end that she is my girlfriend, it is her Has been haunting me."
"You fart!" Zhou Dali yelled loudly, "Bao Jie liked you for three years in high school, who in our class didn't know? She has always been very close to you, and you never refused, we can all see that. Now You said you never regarded her as a girlfriend, how dare you lie to a ghost???"
After saying this sentence, Zhou Dali almost stood up, but was pulled by Shang Cuicui, who pushed him down on the sofa.
"That's right, she likes me, I know it." Zhou Jiajie defended, "And I didn't say I don't like her, I have a little feeling for her, it's just...it's not up to the level of being a girlfriend."
"Then you should reject her directly!" Yan Junze was also a little angry, "It's been more than three years, and you have been hanging on to her like this for three years. What do you want to do? Have a spare tire, or ****?"
"Fuck, what a scumbag!" Shang Cuicui couldn't help but swear.
"Say, how did Bao Jie die? Did you kill him?" Zhou Dali slapped the coffee table in a rage, feeling the ground tremble.
Fortunately, the tea table is made of marble, otherwise it would have been smashed.
Zhou Jiajie was startled, and hurriedly said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Looking at Yan Junze again, he nodded and said, "Yes, I know I was wrong, and I did something wrong before. But after I entered university, I have already made it clear to her, and I told her that I don't love her, and She was impossible, but she never gave up on me and kept pestering me."
"At that time, did you already know the girl in pajamas downstairs?" Yan Junze asked.
Zhou Jiajie didn't answer right away, he wanted to get up and pour the water that had just boiled to make tea, but then he thought that these people were all angry at the moment, and brought over the boiling hot tea, what if they couldn't help but splash themselves with tea ?
After thinking for a while, he didn't get up, but shook his head and replied to Yan Junze: "I... just met Zhang Jiayao just now, and at that time, there was no definite relationship."
"A typical spare tire has been confirmed, so the spare tire can be kicked out." Shang Cuifeng stared at Zhou Jiajie coldly with hatred, and said slowly.
"I don't have a spare tire." Zhou Jiajie shook his head vigorously, "I really don't have that strong feeling for Bao Jie. She kept pushing me for the past few days. Explain everything clearly, let her die for me. To make up for her, I also gave her a platinum ring, I really want to repay her for what she has done to me in the past three years. "
The scene fell into silence.
After a while, Yan Junze asked: "And then?"
"Then I thought she had given up on me, but I didn't know she still couldn't forget it." Zhou Jiajie lay on the coffee table, resting his forehead with both hands, as if falling into a memory that he didn't want to think about again, "She began to follow me frequently, especially when Zhang Jiayao and Zhang Jiayao were together. When I was together, she appeared to disrupt us almost every time. That day, I couldn't bear it anymore, and I had a fierce fight with her, and said some serious things face to face, and she finally didn't show up again. "
Without waiting for others to speak, Zhou Jiajie continued: "I am very sad and blame myself. I sent the money to her parents anonymously yesterday for all the expenses of her funeral, and I also added a mental compensation fee. .I really... blame myself, blame myself."
"I don't understand, you asked us to come here just to make us full of anger and hear you keep saying that you blame yourself?" Yan Junze swallowed and tried to keep his expression calm.
"Yes, why didn't you notify us on the day Bao Jie committed suicide?" Zhou Dali also said.
"I want to wait for things to slow down, and I thought other students have already informed you." Zhou Jiajie explained.
"If we are notified, there is no way we will not rush over." Zhou Dali said coldly, "If you really want to hide this kind of thing, can you keep it secret?"
"I think you haven't answered my question yet. Why did you let us come here now?" Yan Junze stared into Zhou Jiajie's eyes and said.
Zhou Jiajie reached out to wipe away the tears that were about to fall, and replied with a choked voice: "I want you to help Bao Jie, so that she will not be tortured even after death, so that she can be relieved as soon as possible."
"What?" Yan Junze was shocked.
"Bao Jie..." Zhou Dali looked surprised and looked around, "Her soul appeared?"
Hearing this, Shang Cuicui was startled, and quickly grabbed Zhou Dali's arms, pressing herself against him, looking around unconsciously, with a frightened expression.
Zhou Jiajie nodded: "She has appeared, and I can often see her. She seems to still miss me. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing to fear about her, but she can't rest in peace. This incident makes me feel very painful , I really want to help her and let her get rid of it as soon as possible."
"Why isn't it called the Exorcist?" Yan Junze asked, "With your family relationship, there is no need to queue at all."
Although Yan Junze also hoped that Zhou Jiajie would not call him a spirit extermination, because the methods of extermination of spirits are almost all simple, and simply killing the weirdness is the main method of extermination of spirits.
As for Bao Jie, Yan Junze didn't want her weirdness to be directly killed by the spirit eliminator, but hoped that she could be reincarnated as soon as possible after completing her obsession.
"I don't want my family to worry about me, and my father is very strict. He knows that if I don't study hard for a day, I just fall in love and get into such a big trouble. I'm afraid I will die a miserable death." Zhou Jiajie looked sad, "This matter I don't need to lie to you, so please, especially Yan Junze, please save Bao Jie."
After the words fell, Zhou Jiajie stood up and bowed deeply to Yan Junze.
In the eyes of others, this is probably the last time the guilty Zhou Jiajie wanted to make up for Bao Jie.
Yan Junze didn't say anything, just picked up his mobile phone, just like Zhang Xiaomo usually did, swiping the phone silently.
Remembering that Bao Jie has become weird now, and also still very infatuated, Zhou Dali shook his head and didn't speak for a while.
Shang Cuicui, who was snuggling next to him, suddenly raised her head and asked Zhou Jiajie: "You said you gave Bao Jie a platinum ring in the end as compensation?"
"Yes." Zhou Jiajie had a painful expression on his face. "It doesn't matter whether the gift is expensive or not. The most important thing is that it can make her feel better."
"I'm curious, since it's a parting gift, why do you give a ring? Doesn't the ring symbolize the promise of love?" Shang Cuicui suddenly woke up, "So I feel that you are lying."
"No, no, no." Zhou Jiajie quickly waved his hand, "I'm absolutely not lying, I really gave her a platinum ring that day."
Zhou Dali opened his eyes wide, staring at him and said, "Should I send it off or not?"
"Give it away." Zhou Jiajie nodded fiercely, "If you don't believe me, you can go to her house to look for it. The ring has been sent back to Suncheon along with her belongings."
"Yes, maybe you gave it." Shang Cuicui nodded thoughtfully, "But since you gave the ring, maybe it's not a parting gift at all, but you want to tell Bao Jie that you still love her That ring represents your heart for her, let her believe it, and continue to love you well and without hesitation, so that you can continue to double enjoy the admiration Zhang Jiayao and Bao Jie have for you both before and after."
"Your words..." Zhou Jiajie was taken aback, and was about to defend himself but was interrupted by Yan Junze.
Yan Junze raised the phone in his hand, and saw a piece of news from a few days ago on the screen of the phone, and said to Zhou Jiajie: "Congratulations, it turns out that your father Zhou Guhua is running for the vice mayor of Suncheon City. Time, your Zhou family really can't have any negative news."
Zhou Jiajie blushed and waved his hands hastily: "No, don't get me wrong. My dad is too strict with me. I dare not tell him. It has nothing to do with his running for vice mayor."
"I've been talking about Nima for a long time, you guy not only lied to us, but also hung Bao Jie all the time, and never let go!"
Zhou Dali couldn't bear it anymore, stood up and stepped forward, stretched out his big palm, grabbed Zhou Jiajie by the collar, and lifted him up, with his feet dangling in the air.
No way, the man in front of him really understands women's minds, especially for an infatuated person like Bao Jie. When the other party is about to give up, he will immediately give a little sweetness to make the other party think that there is still hope, and then continue to hang around.
Of course, poor people must have something to hate. Bao Jie's fault was that he was too infatuated and persistent, and believed in this man too much, believed in beauty too much, and had no sense of self-protection.
After grabbing Zhou Jiajie, Zhou Dali was about to slap this guy left and right, and then kick him again.
Suddenly he found that the whole scene became quiet, Yan Junze looked behind him, and Zhou Jiajie, who was holding him in his hand, also began to tremble, and his eyes moved to behind him.
Shang Cuicui looked back, screamed in fright, quickly covered her mouth, and crazily slipped into Zhou Dali's arms.
Zhou Dali had no choice but to put Zhou Jiajie down temporarily, and when he looked back, he was stunned.
I saw the doorway from the kitchen to the living room, a woman with disheveled hair stood there silently, with her back to the dark kitchen at the back, facing the living room, her hair covered part of her cheeks, but her exposed cheeks were pale.
"Jie...Jie?!" Zhou Dali was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help shouting.
The woman standing at the door of the kitchen, with a slender figure, long hair shawl, and oval face, is Bao Jie's soul.
Bao Jie's eyes seemed dull, but in reality there was a touch of coldness, and he looked directly at Zhou Jiajie, whose body was trembling, without any expression.
Zhou Dali pulled Shang Cuicui behind him, let her stand in place, and then walked towards Bao Jie by himself.
His body was trembling slightly, but it was not fear, but pain. An indescribable pain stirred back and forth in his heart. He lifted it up and walked towards Bao Jie.
Big tears couldn't help but drip, Zhou Dali didn't cry out, but the tears poured out like a flood that broke a dike.
He still clearly remembered their last party at the bar, but he didn't expect that farewell would be the last time they saw each other.
