Chapter 6 Double Eel Rice

Chapter 6 Double Eel Rice

"Huh? Did you type the wrong number?"

By some strange coincidence, Chen Yuan called his aunt, which stunned the other party and almost hung up the phone.

"No. Hello aunt, I am Xia Xinyu's classmate."

"You are her classmate, so why do you call me aunt?"

There was a middle-aged woman's voice over there. It sounded like the kind of senior teacher who wears glasses and has an expressionless face. Although the question was an ordinary question, Chen Yuan could hear the majesty of "If you can't answer it, you will die."

But very quickly, he changed the subject: "Classmate, why are you calling me? What's wrong with Xinyu? Is she okay?"

The woman suddenly became worried and her tone was urgent.

It can be explained that what Xia Xinyu has experienced recently is enough to make her decide to commit suicide.

"She's fine. She just hasn't been to school for a few days. She and I live very close to each other, so I asked... the school teacher to ask for your phone number, auntie, to find out what's going on."

Since her parents were out of town and she was studying in Xia Hai, her aunt would definitely be contacted by the school when something happened, so there shouldn't be any flaws in lying like this.

"Fu Xiumei's phone number? Why didn't she ask me directly if she had something?"

Damn it, I forgot that she is the teacher at that school!

"Teacher Fu said..."

"This matter is indeed very sensitive. She is probably afraid of asking too many questions."

His logic was self-consistent and he didn't suspect that he was lying.

"Well, I also saw Xia Xinyu today. She was in very bad condition and seemed to be out of her mind."

"Have you met her? Then can you tell her and let her go to her aunt's house? I am very worried about this child. She has been introverted since she was a child."

"Excuse me..." Chen Yuan seemed to have guessed something, but he still couldn't help but ask, "Did something happen in her hometown in Jingnan?"

After a while, there was an answer: "Last week, her parents encountered a landslide when they were going down the mountain."

"..."

Chen Yuan's heart tightened and he closed his eyes.

He didn't dare to listen anymore.

"Xinyu is an only child. There was a funeral in her hometown and she had to go back. But after the child heard the news, she hung up the phone. I went to see her a few days ago and wanted to take her to live with me. I took her back to Jingnan, but she refused and refused to go anywhere. Well, I had no choice but to ask for leave from school for her. If you can see her again, you must tell her that her aunt is very worried. She." The voice over there was so anxious that it broke, not like a seasoned senior teacher.

"Okay aunt, I will."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yuan's face darkened.

A more desperate story than imagined.

It was a landslide and both parents died.

One can imagine how much Xia Xinyu, after hearing the news, hoped that this was a dream, but the wet pillow every night and the dark and empty room when she woke up in the morning would make her realize that this was true. Then, the pain swept over her like a tide, and she was unable to return to her hometown strong enough to hold her parents' funerals, toast to relatives and elders in turn, and express her determination to go on alone.

The only way to relieve worries is to commit suicide.

It’s me, I’ll die too.

………

Opening her eyes, Xia Xinyu saw a tear on her eyelashes.

Suddenly, the corners of her mouth wrinkled, and a surge of sadness surged into her nose. She covered her head in the quilt and started sobbing again.

Last night, she had a dream that her parents were in the hospital. The doctor told her that the two of them would need to be hospitalized for a long time. When she heard that, she was very happy.

Because it turned out that he was not dead and was still being rescued.

And it was also because of this kind of thinking in the dream that she remembered that her parents died because of a mudslide, and there was no chance of rescue.

Therefore, the dream is false.

In her dream, she recognized truth from fiction.

So, I also discovered that pattern in my dream——

The end of the dream is waking up.

She was afraid of waking up, but the gradually clearer consciousness and the slanting light coming in through the cracks in the curtains made her wake up.

Open your eyes and see the cruel truth.

After crying, Xia Xinyu, with red eyes, picked up her phone. She saw that her aunt had made many calls to her, and there were many unread messages on QQ from classmates in her class.

Most of them are girls who play well with me, but there is only one boy.

[Wen Boheng: Why don’t you come to class? Are you sick? 】

[Wen Boheng: I made a recent note. Where do you live? Can I send it to you? 】

This person is a boy in the class, sitting in the back row of her. Although Xia Xinyu has never been in love, she also knows that he likes her.

In fact, girls can see this kind of thing.

Although they are not familiar with each other, they often take the initiative to say hello on QQ. This kind of subtle weirdness should be what boys like.

But Chen Yuan liked her, but she didn't notice it at all. Until the moment before he confessed his love, she couldn't tell at all.

After all, every time we met in the past, the other person would not look at me twice except for normal eye contact.

If you really like it, it shouldn't be like this, right?

After thinking about it for a moment, the other party's words should be a 'stopgap measure'. She discovered that she had committed suicide, so she wanted to delay it until she got out of this predicament before explaining the reason to herself.

So my serious refusal yesterday was really narcissistic...

Thinking of this, the embarrassed Xia Xinyu slapped her face heavily: "Next time, I will never drink again."

No, there will be no next time.

After I finish cooking that meal for Chen Yuan... I'll die again.

Apart from nausea and dizziness when I wake up, this method is really not too painful.

After getting out of bed, Xia Xinyu saw the iron basin.

The coals inside had been doused with water.

The situation should be like this yesterday - Chen Yuan smelled a strange smell and knocked on the door. When he didn't answer, he opened the door and opened the window for himself. When he came in, he wanted to take the iron basin out, and his hand was burned at that time. Yes, and then I had no choice but to get myself out of bed.

Now that I think about it, he should have been scared to death yesterday.

I'm really sorry for him.

"If a person has a soul after death, before Tou Qi is taken away by Black and White Wuchang, I will look after Qitian's home for him."

Xia Xinyu thought of the only way she could repay Chen Yuan.

By this time, Chen Yuan should have gone to school.

It was already half past seven, the time when I usually arrive at school.

No matter how nice Chen Yuan is, he wouldn't ask for leave just to protect her from committing suicide... What am I thinking?

Although she was thinking this in her mind, she still walked to the door and pushed open the loose door.

Then, she saw a box of lunch placed on the ground.

this! Isn't this steak and eel double rice? !

Xia Xinyu recognized it at a glance as the super delicious and best-selling product displayed on the counter of a nearby supermarket.

Of course, she didn't know whether it was delicious or not, because the price of 78 made it always just a luxury before she became a salaried member of society.

But since so many people are buying it, it must be delicious.

"Why, why does this show up at my door?"

Squatting down and looking at the meal with almost bright eyes, Xia Xinyu struggled for a while before picking it up.

Then, I saw a note underneath.

Pick up the note and there is a key underneath.

It was not sold out yesterday. It was on sale at half price in the morning. I left the key at the door. You eat half of it and put the rest in the refrigerator. Also, you can stay at my house during the day until the locks are changed - Chen O.

Obviously I have written so many words, why do I have to abbreviate it to O when I write the source...

Xia Xinyu almost swallowed her saliva while holding this brightly colored, thin and crispy double rice with a large portion of steak. It was embarrassing to say the least.

No, this is what others want to eat, how can I share half of it...

However, he said to leave half of it for him.

Wouldn't that just become leftovers?

Save it for dinner.

But……

I want to eat it.

It must really want to be eaten by me.

After some tangle, Xia Xinyu took the double eel rice into her home, and then opened the landlord's small refrigerator: "Ham sausage, eggs, cucumbers, eight yuan of plum sticks... Before the last class in the morning, Send the food to school."
