Since Xie Jinling sat on the back seat of Lin Ye's motorcycle and went to sister Yaxi's studio with Lin Ye that day, the relationship between the two has become much better than before.

When he was in Cheng Lin before, Lin Ye usually only had Zhang Jiayi and Zhao Jingzhou by his side. Lin Anan sometimes came to talk to Lin Ye, but most of the time, there were only Zhang Jiayi and Zhao Jingzhou.

But now, as long as Lin Ye is in school instead of going to the studio, there will be Xie Jinling by his side.

Or in fact, it is more accurate and appropriate to say that as long as Lin Ye is at school, he will definitely come to Xie Jinling's side to stay with him.

The euphemism is that since you are a small partner, you should naturally maintain a harmonious and friendly relationship.

This Sima Zhao's heart understands everything.

Knowing the truth, Zhang Jiayi, Zhao Jingzhou, and Lin Anan despised this.

Especially Zhang Jiayi, can't believe how the cool, domineering wild brother he used to look at people with his nostrils, in front of Xie Jinling, has become a big wolf dog who has a sweet heart but not much, and loves to cling to people up.

Yes, big wolfhound.

This description is really outrageous, but in some cases, it fits Lin Ye very well.

Speaking of it, Zhang Jiayi himself felt incredible.

I don't know if it was influenced by the names of Xie Jinling's other two friends, Big Goudan and Er Goudan, so that when he looks at Brother Ye now, sometimes the more he looks at him, the more he looks like a Three Goudan.

Of course, he didn't say this weird feeling in front of Lin Ye. Said that it is estimated that my life will not be guaranteed.

But when you think about it carefully, the existence of Xie Jinling itself is easy to make people feel jealous. His good looks and the occasional slight pick in his eyes will really make people feel a sense of possibility at the moment when they are amazed. A love that completely ignores gender boundaries.

Not to mention the wild brother who had close contact with Xie Jinling, even he himself, in getting along with Xie Jinling, had some liking beyond the normal range.

Moreover, Zhang Jiayi is sure that there are still many people in the school who are attracted to Xie Jinling, the difference is only the degree of depth.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jiayi glanced at Xie Jinling who was listening to the class seriously. Suppress the soreness deep in my heart that has ended before it even started.

Alas, if you haven't seen Xie Jinling's true face, maybe you can still imagine it. After seeing the real face, it will be completely useless.

Mainly because it doesn't match up.

If Lin Ye wasn't his brother Ye, Zhang Jiayi might even feel that Lin Ye wasn't worthy of Xie Jinling's look.

Just as Zhang Jiayi was lost in thought, he was called by the teacher directly, "Zhang Jiayi, come up and write down the analysis of this question."

Chen Cheng at the same table looked star-eyed, and whispered: "Zhang Jiayi, tell me, how many times have you been called out for watching Xie Jinling in class?"

Zhang Jiayi glanced at Xie Jinling nervously, covered Chen Cheng's mouth and whispered, "Don't talk nonsense."

Chen Cheng blinked, although he felt that even if he didn't say anything, Xie Jinling would not have noticed anything.

In fact, it was indeed as Chen Cheng guessed.

Xie Jinling did notice Zhang Jiayi's gaze, but she didn't care.

It has been more than two months since Xie Jinling transferred to Cheng Lin, and he has gradually adapted to this simple and ordinary campus life.

Although sometimes Xie Jinling felt that such a constant class was very boring and not as interesting as when he was in the village, but on the whole, Xie Jinling still liked it.

The transportation here is very convenient, and the Internet is also very smooth. You can buy delicious milk tea when you leave the school. Er Goudan likes to drink, and so does he.

Thinking of milk tea, Xie Jinling thought of the cup of milk tea he saw in the trash can a few days ago. Judging from the packaging of the milk tea, it should be the signature milk tea of ​​Yunyunmi Milk Tea Shop. It was thrown away before it was opened for drinking. Lost.

Although Xie Jinling didn't ask any more questions, from the hesitant eyes of some students, he guessed that this cup of milk tea might have something to do with him.

Someone should have given it to him, but for some reason someone threw it into the trash can. Later, Xie Jinling learned from other people that the cup of milk tea was sent by a girl from Yu City's students.

As for the person who threw the milk tea, it was his little friend Lin Ye.

Xie Jinling has a clearer understanding of Lin Ye these days than before. As Lin Ye is a person, he should not throw away the wishes sent to him by others for no reason, unless the person who gave this cup of milk tea is not a good person in Lin Ye's eyes, and he does not want any contact between them.

Xie Jinling thought for a while, he didn't know anyone in Yu City, at most he remembered Xu Zhou who was beaten by him.

Speaking of Xu Zhou, Xie Jinling would run into him on the way back to the apartment every day after school these few days, and the other party would look at him with strange and fanatical eyes, and occasionally there would be some kind of obscurity and embarrassment flashing across his face. shadow.

Xie Jinling suspected that this person was a little nervous.

He didn't like that kind of look very much, but every time Xu Zhou just watched from a distance, and didn't come to him carelessly, so he didn't pay attention to it.

"Teacher looked at you several times." Jian Yi's cold voice interrupted Xie Jinling's thoughts.

Hearing this, Xie Jinling looked towards Jian Yi.

The other party was sitting in an upright and elegant posture, with his eyes downcast, writing seriously the quiz in his hand. If it hadn't been for Xie Jinling to be sure that he heard Jian Yi's voice, just looking at Jian Yi's appearance of focusing on the exercises and writing, it would be hard to imagine that he had spoken to remind him just now.

In the past few days, Jian Yi felt a little strange to him.

Whenever Xie Jinling felt that Jian Yi should have something to ask him, the other party didn't say anything in the end.

Xie Jinling withdrew her gaze and started writing the question.

After Jian Yi realized that Xie Jinling's gaze had withdrawn, her body, which was a little tense because of Xie Jinling's sizing up, also became natural.

When school was over in the afternoon, it was Xie Jinling and Jian Yi's turn to clean the classroom. The class hygiene in Class 1 is cleaned by two people at the same table, and groups of two take turns every day.

There are only thirty people in one class.

It will take more than ten days to complete one round. Xie Jinling and Jian Yi cleaned together several times, and the division of labor between the two can be regarded as clear.

Because it was Jian Yi's turn to take out the trash this time, Xie Jinling left the classroom first after cleaning up her own part.

Jian Yi reloaded the brand new trash bags on the trash can, and carefully checked the inside and outside of the classroom, and after confirming that there were no debris, he was ready to leave.

However, just as Jian Yi was about to walk to the door of the classroom, a girl with an anxious expression suddenly ran towards this side. If Jian Yi hadn't avoided it in time, she would have almost bumped into this girl head-on.

Shen Xinya's hair was messy, and her body was covered with a lot of dust. She passed Jian Yi directly, and looked at the classroom in a panic: "Xie Jinling? Xie Jinling?"

She didn't see Xie Jinling's figure in the classroom. After thinking of something, Shen Xinya's complexion suddenly became very pale. She grabbed Jian Yi's wrist anxiously and asked, "When did Xie Jinling leave?"

Jian Yi frowned slightly: "Ten minutes ago."

"Ten minutes... Ten minutes, it should be too late...!" Shen Xinya murmured, she let go of Jian Yi's hand and was about to go after Xie Jinling.

Jian Yi grabbed her tightly: "What happened?"

Shen Xinya shook off Jian Yi, "Xie Jinling might be in danger!"

Jian Yi's expression changed, "What do you mean?"

Shen Xinya ran out and said, "It was Xu Zhou from Yu City who wanted to lure Xie Jinling to that old warehouse! He must want to get revenge on Xie Jinling for beating him up last time! I'm going to tell Xie Jinling not to be fooled!"

Shen Xinya's eyes were red with anxiety, and she was like an ant on a hot pot: "It's all my fault! It's all my fault! After school, I was tied up and locked in a small room by Xu Zhou's gang, and they took me away." mobile phone and school card! I want to trick Xie Jinling over!"

"If only I could run out earlier, Xie Jinling might have been lured to that old... by now! Phone! You should be able to reach Xie Jinling by phone!" Shen Xinya looked at Jian Yi who was chasing up: "You have Xie Jinling phone?"

"No, where is the old warehouse you mentioned?" Jian Yi took out her mobile phone with a serious expression, and called the police.

Shen Xinya quickly gave an address.

She was very impressed with the old warehouse. It was the warehouse where Xu Zhou's second uncle used to store goods. It was very close to Cheng Lin, and it was basically abandoned now. Xu Zhou and those gangsters liked to gather there. Before she was cheated, she went there to find Xu Zhou several times.

Jian Yi explained the situation succinctly during the call to the police.

After hanging up the phone, he looked at Shen Xinya: "I'm going to go to that old warehouse now, you..."

"I want to go there with you!" Shen Xinya interrupted Jian Yi: "The road into the warehouse is a bit devious, I will lead the way!"

Jian Yi was worried about Xie Jinling's safety, seeing that Shen Xinya insisted on following along, she didn't say anything more.

Thanks to Shen Xinya leading the way, Jian Yi arrived at the old warehouse in the shortest time.

"Find a safe place and wait for the police to come."

"Okay." Shen Xinya nodded, she knew that even if she was a girl, she might not be able to help, and might be a hindrance, "The door of the warehouse can be opened as long as you turn the lock up, you go in and turn right Go up to the second floor."

At the same time, on the second floor of the warehouse.

A morbid smile appeared on Xu Zhou's face, his eyes stared straight at Xie Jinling who was standing two meters away from him, and the enthusiasm in his eyes almost overflowed.

"Xie Jinling, you must have played a trick on me, right?" Xu Zhou laughed lowly, and there was some kind of ambiguity in his hoarse voice: "Since you beat me, I have become something wrong. Seeing your true face, I often dream of you at night..."

Speaking of this, for some unknown reason, Xu Zhou's face suddenly turned a strange blush.

Xie Jinling frowned slightly, "Where is Shen Xinya?"

Xu Zhou chuckled: "Don't worry, she was just locked in a room by me."

When Xie Jinling heard this, a cold look flashed across his eyes: "Illegal detention, in your place, is breaking the law." He glanced around, and there was only one door in front of him on the second floor.

Inside should be a utility room.

Xu Zhou waved his hand: "You don't need to look, how could I lock her here and let her get in our way." Xu Zhou's tone was filled with obvious excitement and anticipation.

Hearing the second half of what Xu Zhou said, Xie Jinling faintly felt that something was wrong.

This person now feels like he is mentally abnormal, and if he is not mistaken, this person's eyes are widened, and there is a certain kind of mania in the suppressed excitement, as if he has sucked .

The corner of Xu Zhou's mouth was raised happily, and he stared at Xie Jinling with obsessive eyes: "Have you heard of Stockholm Syndrome?"

Stockholm syndrome?

Xie Jinling finally understood why he felt something weird before. If Xu Zhou just wanted to take revenge on him, knowing that he was better at fighting, he couldn't have deliberately lured him here and left him alone.

"...Xie Jinling..." Xu Zhou's Adam's apple rolled, and while reciting Xie Jinling's name, he whispered in a hoarse voice: "Just like last time, step on me with your feet, point a cigarette at me, use you..."

Suddenly - "Boom!" There was a muffled sound.

The sound of the door being opened interrupted Xu Zhou's nervous speech.

Xu Zhou's face darkened, and he looked at Jian Yi who ran up the stairs with dark eyes: "Damn it! Why are you bothering us!"

Jian Yi ignored Xu Zhou, he ran to Xie Jinling's side, checked Xie Jinling up and down with his eyes, and after confirming that Xie Jinling was not injured, the worry hanging in his heart eased, and his tense expression eased a little.

Xie Jinling looked at Jian Yi: "Why did you come here?"

Jian Yi's lips moved, just as he was about to answer, Xu Zhou seemed to be stimulated, and suddenly started laughing wildly, but soon, his face became gloomy again while smiling.

"It's really a hindrance, why do you want to meddle in your own business here?" Xu Zhou said, walking slowly towards Xie Jinling and Jian Yi.

Jian Yi looked at Xu Zhou, who was clearly mentally disturbed, subconsciously blocked Xie Jinling behind her, and watched Xu Zhou who was getting closer and closer vigilantly: "I have already reported..."

Unexpectedly, before Jian Yi finished speaking, Xu Zhou suddenly accelerated, took out a knife and charged forward.

Jian Yi's pupils shrank suddenly, and in a flash, he raised his left hand to block it, and quickly pulled Xie Jinling to the right to dodge with the other hand.

However, even though Jian Yi's reaction was quick, Xu Zhou stabbed his left hand in that instant. Fortunately, he dodged fast enough, and the sharp blade only scratched the school uniform, not his skin.

It was a near miss.

As for Xu Zhou, it was because he rushed forward with too much force that he staggered forward several steps due to inertia, before he managed to stabilize his figure.

Xie Jinling was really angry now, he glanced at the school uniform on Jian Yi's left hand that was scratched by the blade, if Jian Yi was just a second slower, the knife in Xu Zhou's hand would have cut his skin.

"It seems that you are really messed up."

Xie Jinling's voice cooled down, and she looked at Xu Zhou with a trashy look.

When Xu Zhou met Xie Jinling's eyes, his body trembled slightly, and then a strange blush appeared on his face again, and he said intoxicatedly: "Yes... That's it, come and clean me up, use your hands, Use your feet, or a string candle..."

Xie Jinling gave him a disgusted look, "You know, I like to give back what I have done." After speaking, Xie Jinling took out the scimitar that he carried with him.

Jian Yi was startled, Xie Jinling was always carrying a knife?

Thinking that the police would be coming soon, Jian Yi glanced at Xu Zhou who was expecting Xie Jinling to do something to her, and then glanced at Xie Jinling who was obviously annoyed by Xu Zhou.

He pursed his lips slightly, and after thinking for two seconds, he decisively grabbed Xie Jinling's wrist, and pulled Xie Jinling directly into the room on his right.

There was a "bang", and before Xu Zhou could react, Jian Yi quickly locked the door behind him.

Faced with Jian Yi's series of operations, even Xie Jinling was somewhat confused, "Can you let go?" He looked at Jian Yi and said.

Only then did Jian Yi seem to have thought of something, and quickly let go of Xie Jinling's wrist.

Xie Jinling looked around.

At this moment, they are in a very old utility room, the light is very dark, the space is not large, there are old utility cabinets and many wooden boards piled up.

In the air, there was still a faint musty smell and a faint smell of wood board paper.

After Xie Jinling sheathed the scimitar in her hand, she turned her eyes to Jian Yi who was standing in front of him, "Why did you drag me here?" Xie Jinling's tone was a little displeased.

If it wasn't for Jian Yi's sudden appearance, he would have taught Xu Zhou a lesson for his disgusting mental disorder.

Also Stockholm Syndrome?

He wanted to let Xu Zhou know that the extreme pain was nothing but bullshit.

Jian Yi was silent. Under the dim light, he couldn't see Xie Jinling's face clearly, but he could tell Xie Jinling's mood at the moment from Xie Jinling's voice.

Jian Yi didn't answer Xie Jinling's words directly, but lowered her eyes slightly, looking at the scimitar in Xie Jinling's hand: "Did you always carry it in school?"

When Xie Jinling heard it, she suddenly felt a little ridiculous: "You ask this, don't you feel that you are too lenient?" His melodious voice was mixed with some unobvious sarcasm.

Xie Jinling has always felt that Jian Yi's personality is purely a kind of deeply hidden paranoia, perhaps he himself has not discovered this.But behind his strict self-discipline, there is indeed a kind of stubbornness that makes people feel a little real.

He was cold and indifferent. When he was in school, he obviously didn't want to pay attention to him, but because of Li Zhen's request, he looked at him everywhere.

Whether it is not to sleep in get out of class, or not to eat in classrooms and corridors after class, all of these are contrary to the indifferent personality he has shown himself.

Extremely contradictory, sometimes even rational to a little rigid.

Xie Jinling was even a little unclear whether Jian Yi's true character was like this, or Jian Yi was giving herself some inner hint to make herself like this.

Jian Yi paused: "I..."
