Chapter 25 The Burning Ice Cube (5)
In an instant, only Yu Qi and Masako were left in the classroom. She put down her pen and came to Yu Qi's desk.

Yu Qi was looking at He Zhenghao's math notes she gave him last time. After the light was blocked, he raised his head and looked at her.

"The fights are all from the student union. As the president, it's better to inform the director." Masako said.

Five minutes later, the dean, Masako, and Yu Qi walked on the corridor leading to the third-grade teaching building. The students had already surrounded the door three times, and the girls were quarreling hysterically.

"Everyone go back to class! Go back to class!" The director frowned and evacuated the students, then walked into the noisy circle.

Guan Xinyu and Cheng Yao had already had a quarrel, their clothes were disheveled, Cheng Yao's cheeks were flushed, and the manic Guan Xinyu was being persuaded by the girls in his class, swearing and cursing non-stop.

"What's going on?" The director frowned and raised his voice.

"I didn't do anything, it was her!" Cheng Yao covered his face, pointed at Guan Xinyu and said, "She hit someone first!"

"It's you I hit! A rotten person who specializes in snitching, I've put up with you for a long time!"

"Speak clearly! Be civilized!" The director roared angrily, and the atmosphere on the scene calmed down a little.

Guan Xinyu pointed to Cheng Yao and said, "She tore up my exchange student certificate! She is jealous of me for doing such dirty things!"

"Who is jealous of you? Who tore up your certificate? Which eye saw it?"

"Monitor!" Guan Xinyu yelled at her, "It clearly shows that it was you, Cheng Yao, who destroyed my certificate like this and threw it in the trash can!" The ball slammed into Cheng Yao's face.

Cheng Yao had already lost her mind, she didn't even look at the ball of paper, and said, "Why am I jealous! Who doesn't know that your exchange student quota was obtained by using Wu Xiaomei's test paper, and you can get the first place with your grades." ? Cheat you!"

The director was startled and looked at Guan Xinyu.

And Guan Xinyu also went crazy, throwing away the obstruction of the people around him, glared at Cheng Yao and said, "Okay! It's broken, right? Let's see who has more tricks! Do you think you usually steal the tour fees and student union scholarships?" You don’t even notice it when you’re in bed, you idiot! You seem so noble, and you post up when you see Xiaocheipai! I’ve hated your face for a long time!”

The director's unbelievable gaze immediately turned to the trembling Cheng Yao, and the students booed.

"Also!" Guan Xinyu spoke vigorously, and immediately continued, "You think I'm the only one who is sorry for Wu Xiaomei? Don't be embarrassing! You let her take the blame for setting up a private tutoring class! Who would have thought The organizer behind this scene is our obedient girl, the head of the Disciplinary Department!"

"Boom—" The crowd erupted, An Qiyan behind the crowd folded his arms and left with a dark face, Cheng Yao rushed towards Guan Xinyu, who also grabbed her by the hair.The girls screamed, and the director stopped angrily. Among the noisy crowd, only Masako stood tall, with her hands behind her back, her brown eyes were pure and natural, with whirlpools inside, and she could not see the end.

The next day, Cheng Yao and Guan Xinyu were removed from the student union at the same time. At the cadre election meeting, Masako recommended Wu Xiaomei to the student union and recommended her to act as the temporarily vacant head of the discipline department.

There is no objection to this matter, because everyone in the student union knows that Wu Xiaomei has always been a very good person.

After the cadre election meeting, Masako received a text message from Duan Yousi: "Come to the conference room after school."

She ran into Cheng Yao on the way to the conference room. This notorious girl blocked her in the dark and threw the ball of paper on her.

"You did it." Cheng Yao gritted his teeth and said, "Mo Yazi, it was you, you designed me."

Masako squatted down slowly, picked up the ball of paper, and threw it into the trash can. The cool wind blew her long hair, covering half of her face.

"What about the evidence?" she replied softly, "What do you say alone?"

Cheng Yao approached her: "You are really scheming!"

A smile appeared on the corner of Masako's lips: "The cadres of the student union are all on the same boat. Even if you report on me, you will be covered by An Qi's words. Even if you are unlucky, you can't blame me anyway."

"Stop blocking me with my rhetoric! An Qiyan will help me!"

Masako looked at Cheng Yao indifferently, shook her head and said, "No, she will help me."

"How are you sure? She never liked you!"

"Because I will ask An Qiyan to help her." The sun shone into this dark corner, coating everything with golden light.

Cheng Yao turned his head abruptly and saw Duan Yousi who was just going up the stairs. His hands were in his trouser pockets, his steps were slow and his tone was calm. The evening wind blew his tie, shining golden in the setting sun.

11
5pm.

The curtains in the conference room were half drawn, and the light was dim. Masako sat at one end of the conference table, and Duan Yousi sat at the other end, with his feet resting on the table, leaning against the cowhide chair, expressionless.

This face-to-face stalemate has been going on for a long time, Masako looked straight ahead, and Duan Yousi looked at her dimly.

"It's my fault for not doing what you said." After a long time, after the sound of playing on the basketball court in the distance disappeared, Masako said calmly, "But to achieve the same goal in a different way, and the effect is double, you also Nothing wrong, right?"

"What if I didn't say anything just now?" he asked in a low voice.

Masako was silent for a while, then raised her head to look at him: "If you hadn't spoken just now, An Qiyan would be sitting in front of me now."

"So..." He asked her to continue.

"So if my plans go a little wrong, I'll destroy myself."

"But..." Masako changed the subject, "No matter what, this fire will not burn on you. The worst result is that I will be abandoned, and the previous things will never happen. You also know that I will not say Speaking of your name, roughly speaking, you still haven't lost anything, right?"

"This is the biggest loss." Unexpectedly, Duan Yousi's answer came very simply.

She who had never guessed that it would be this answer paused, and her numb heart was suddenly hit hard.

"Come here," he said.

Masako got up nervously, and walked towards him step by step from the long conference table, the sunlight gliding quietly over his shoulder.

When standing in front of him, with the "squeak" of the cowhide chair, he got up and said, "Turn around."

She clenched her fingers and turned her back to him hesitantly.

After being quiet for a while, feeling a chill on her collarbone, Masako looked down.His hands were wrapping around her neck, putting a platinum necklace with pearl white opal pieces on her fair skin, the hair at the back of her neck was gently lifted by his hands, and placed in front of her shoulders.

"It's the reward this time." He grabbed her by the shoulder and turned around. Masako looked up at him, and there was no sullenness in his eyes.He took her waist and gently pulled her into his arms, and whispered a word in her ear.

"Any woman who asks you for this, don't give it."

This sentence was said very softly, Masako couldn't help reaching out to hold the piece of opal, it was cold, but the back of her hand touched his chest, it was warm.

"Ah."

On Friday evening, there were very few students staying on campus, and the lights were still on in Class [-], Grade [-]. When Masako walked in, she saw Lu Jianer sitting in her seat and burying her head in her homework.Apart from her, there is no one else in the classroom.

"Masako, you're finally back!" Seeing her, Jian Er waved her pen happily, "I told them that I would stay and do my homework, so they didn't lock the classroom door, otherwise you won't be able to come in when you come back gone."

"Thank you, Jane."

"You're welcome, let's go home!"

Masako had just packed her schoolbag, and after being called out by Jian'er, she said guiltily, "Jian'er..."

"Ok?"

"He's waiting for me in the corridor."

Jian'er blinked her eyes, and when she came to her senses, she widened her eyes: "Duan Duan...Duan Yousi is waiting for you?"

She nodded.

"That is to say..." Lu Jian'er didn't know whether she was flustered or excited, her shoulders trembled a little, "Wait... I will go with you later... The point is, the point is that I will go with Duan Yousi... together ..."

"do you mind?"

"No!" Lu Jianer panted heavily, her jaw almost dropped from nervousness, "You should ask him if he minds!"

"He doesn't mind."

"Then will I accidentally see something I shouldn't see? For example, for example, you guys kiss or something?"

Masako smiled, and put Jian'er's schoolbag into her arms: "We won't."

As soon as she took a step, Lu Jian'er grabbed Masako's hand nervously again: "He doesn't know that I have said bad things about him, does he?"

"Have you ever spoken ill of him?" Masako asked back.

"No!" Jian'er reacted extremely quickly and shook her head violently.

"Then how would he know?" Masako took Jian'er's hand.

After leaving the classroom door, Lu Jian'er immediately saw Duan Yousi who was leaning against the balcony and waiting quietly. He was standing under the dark blue night, all his attention was on Masako, and he didn't glance away until the two approached. To Jane.

"Lu Jianer?"

"Hmm..." Jian Er held Masako's hand tightly and nodded cautiously.

"fear me?"

"Huh...huh? Huh!" The first sound was a nod, the second sound was a reaction, and the third sound was eager to deny, shaking his head sweating profusely.

Masako pulled his hand, and he stopped teasing Lu Jianer, and then took Masako's hand and walked towards the stairs.

Lu Jian'er didn't dare to communicate with him, so she voluntarily kept a distance of three steps from them, and followed behind tremblingly. Masako turned her head many times but couldn't call her.

There were no students in the school anymore, so walking side by side with him on the avenue for the first time felt strange.

When he arrived at the school gate, Duan Yousi received a phone call. He stood aside and listened to the phone, while Jian Er took advantage of this to wave goodbye to Masako.

After she said goodbye to Jian'er, she turned around and saw that he was still listening to the phone, his face getting more and more gloomy, and finally he said a word, hung up the phone and said to Masako, "Go to a place."

She felt vaguely uneasy.

Half an hour later, Masako and Duan Yousi walked into the seaside barbecue restaurant they visited last time.The sound of the waves lingered, but the shop was still lively.

He went to the counter, tapped his fingers on the table, and the boss immediately came to listen to him.He was talking while pulling out his wallet, the boss listened with embarrassment on his face, until Duan Yousi took out a card from the wallet and put it on the table, the boss nodded immediately, called the waiter, and ordered a few sentence.

Soon, the diners around were invited out of the restaurant one after another with great regret by the waiter. Duan Yousi brought Masako to the table and opened the chair for her to take a seat.The meals were delivered by the waiter one by one, and at the end, a glass of aloe vera juice was also served.

She didn't know what happened, and he didn't say a word. When Masako peeled the shrimp and handed it to him, he ate it anyway, and then put the grilled meat dipped in sauce into her bowl. Everything was as good as before. times like that.

After 10 minutes of this calm, suddenly, there was a "bang" from the door of the store, and a boy stumbled in, followed by the arrogant Wan Ye, accompanied by seven or eight Masako who had never seen her before. boys.

The boy who ran in knocked over two or three chairs, making harsh noises, and Masako frowned slightly.Wan Ye nodded after seeing her, as a greeting, then walked to Duan Yousi's side and said, "Here we are."

The oil on the oven was sizzling, and he was roasting a piece of beef, without raising his head, he let out a "huh".

Wan Ye looked at the accompanying boys as if he had received an order, his chin slanted, and his arrogance came out with one word: "Hit."

The boy who was sitting slumped on the ground was picked up immediately, Wan Ye punched him on the nose first, then grabbed his neckline, and punched him happily.

Masako shook her shoulders, Duan Yousi put the roasted meat into her bowl, as calm as before.

Amid the noise of fighting, the boy was surrounded, Wan Ye put his hands in his trouser pockets, stood on the table, leaned over and shouted.Every time Masako looked at Duan Yousi, he turned a deaf ear to those voices and calmly roasted the meat.Until the last "boom", the boy rushed to Duan Yousi's table by himself, and spilled some of the aloe vera juice he had poured for Masako.

Wan Ye jumped off the table, the boy who was beaten was fair and handsome, his face was covered with bruises, he grabbed Duan Yousi's arm, and begged feebly, "Let... let me go..."

He ignored him, took out a few paper towels, and wiped off the spilled aloe vera juice.

The boy was picked up again by Wan Ye, dragged back to the spot and continued beating, overturning half of the tables and chairs in the shop.Masako held the cup tightly, frowning more and more tightly, and finally looked at Duan Yousi: "Don't hit him."

The barbecue meat he was holding for her stopped in mid-air, looked up at her, continued to put the meat into her bowl, and then put down the chopsticks: "Wan Ye."

When Wan Ye heard the call, he immediately turned around.

He waved his hand.

"Stop!" Wan Ye immediately turned around and ordered.

Everyone else stopped kicking and beating, and the boy lay on the ground, clutching the part where he was beaten, in excruciating pain.

Masako saw him pick up his mobile phone and dial a number. After the call was connected, he said, "Come to the beach."

After hanging up the phone, he got up and walked slowly towards the boy. Everyone around him backed away. He looked down at the boy and said, "Get up."

The boy stared at him embarrassedly.

"I'm going to beat you up?" Wan Ye yelled at the boy.

The boy immediately endured the pain and stood up.

Masako walked to the back of the crowd, Duan Yousi turned around and put his hands on her waist, and said to Wan Ye, "Bring him to the beach." Afterwards, he walked out of the store with Masako.

The sea breeze was cold, the tide was still there, and the strong wind blew Masako's hair into a mess. Duan Yousi and the boy stood facing each other, the others retreated to the left and right, and Wan Ye swayed to watch the battle.

He didn't move at all, the boy stood shiveringly, as if the sea breeze could blow him away even a little bit more.

After more than 10 minutes of silence, I finally waited for someone to come.

Masako looked sideways and saw a girl in a black coat coming from a distance. Her fair face was a little decadent with smoky makeup. Her bangs had covered her eyelashes, and she was messed up by the sea breeze. Her eyes were straight Looking at the shivering boy.

It's Duan Yisha.

Duan Yousi glanced at her, then slowly turned his back to them, and looked away casually, as if deliberately avoiding them.

Duan Yisha walked up step by step, staring at the boy intently, until she was face to face with him, staring at him with a sneer for a long time, then said with trembling voice: "I'll just ask you a question."

The boy hangs his head.

"When you were having trouble with her, did you ever think that she was my best friend?" She gritted her teeth when she asked this question.

The boy didn't answer.

With a "slap", Duan Yisha slapped him across the face: "This slap is for me!"

With another "snap", the boy turned his face sideways again and closed his mouth tightly.

"This slap is for her crying for three days and three nights because of your irresponsibility!"

Immediately afterwards, Duan Yisha kicked the boy heavily.The boy fell in response, and she beat him crazily as if losing her mind, and shouted hoarsely: "I'm so good to you!"

Even Wan Ye was dumbfounded by this violent temper.

During this time, Duan Yousi never intervened, he lowered his head and waited.He waited until the boy's groans became lighter and lighter, until Duan Yisha's voice became hoarse when she cursed, and when the sea breeze almost dried his sister's tears, he turned around and grabbed Duan Yisha who was still venting crazily. , hugged her into his arms, kept her away from the boy, lowered his head and whispered in her ear, and stroked her hair.

With his comfort, Duan Yisha didn't cry heartbreakingly.

At this time, the boy spoke in a dying voice.

He said a word, which made Duan Yisha quiet down and Duan Yousi's whispering stopped suddenly.

He said: "Do you think I am willing? Your sister forced me, your sister forced me to leave, her next target is your brother...it is your brother!"

Duan Yisha sneered tiredly, while Duan Yousi contemplated for a long time, then shifted his gaze to Masako.

Masako looked at him too.

It was the first time that she saw a trace of worry and hesitation in his eyes.
