After this incident, the atmosphere was no longer as lively as before. Less than half an hour after Li Yitong left, the crowd dispersed.
Except for Wu Mengyao, who was a teetotaler, everyone else was a bit drunk. Especially Zhou Zheng, who was in a bad mood. He was blown away by the wind when he went out and squatted on the roadside and vomited.
Several buddies wanted to send him back, but Wu Mengyao said that since everyone was drunk, she should send him back.
When Zhou Zheng was taking the postgraduate entrance examination, he rented a small apartment outside the school. Wu Mengyao went there, got into a taxi, and reported the address directly.
When she arrived at Zhou Zheng's house, she made honey water and fed it to him to relieve his hangover. Zhou Zheng drank the water in a daze and sat there blankly. Wu Mengyao took a towel to wipe his face and asked him what happened.
Zhou Zheng sighed and said that he felt Li Yitong didn't like him. The two had been dating for more than two years, and apart from holding hands and occasionally hugging and kissing, they had not done anything further.
It was his birthday today and he wanted her to stay in the apartment at night. Li Yitong didn't want to, and said he didn't respect her, so he just turned away and left. He felt aggrieved. It was the first time he devoted his whole heart to someone, but she didn't want to put her heart and soul into it.
Leave it to him yourself.
The more Zhou Zheng talked about it, the sadder he became. With red eyes, he asked Wu Mengyao what was wrong with him and why he couldn't get Li Yitong's sincerity.
Seeing him like this, Wu Mengyao felt even more distressed. She pulled Zhou Zheng into her arms and said, "You are very good. She is not willing to give it to you, but I am willing to give it to you."
Under the influence of alcohol, everything that should happen and shouldn't happen happened.
When he woke up the next day, Zhou Zheng looked at the person lying next to him, his mind in confusion.
In contrast, Wu Mengyao was much calmer and dressed in an orderly manner.
At this moment, Li Yitong sent a voice message, and Zhou Zheng clicked on the playback button in a daze.
Li Yitong said that it wasn't that she didn't like him, but she was just not ready. Because she didn't know how to face it, she left on impulse and hoped that he could forgive her.
Wu Mengyao saw the confusion on Zhou Zheng's face, smiled calmly, and said that she did it voluntarily, so that he didn't have to bear any psychological burden.
In the days that followed, she continued to do what she had to do, and she was as calm as ever when getting along with Zhou Zheng.
Zhou Zheng liked Li Yitong and did not want to give up the relationship, but he felt sorry for Wu Mengyao, so he began to deal with the two girls. On one side, he continued to fall in love with Li Yitong, while on the other he was unclear about Wu Mengyao.
During the day, there was no one else in the archaeological team's camp except Luo Erdan who was cooking. After sending her back that day, Zhou Zheng wanted to take the opportunity to be gentle. Wu Mengyao was not feeling well, so Zhou Zheng pestered her for a while, but seeing that she really wasn't in the mood, he didn't do it.
The final step.
Wu Mengyao thought he had soiled her underwear, but Zhou Zhenghun didn't care and put it in his pocket and said to wash it.
Later, Li Yitong called and he went back to his room.
At this point, Wu Mengyao burst into tears, because that was the last time the two of them saw each other, and from then on they were separated forever.
Duanmo took out a pack of tissues and gave one to her: "There is still a lot of time left in your life. You will definitely meet someone better than him." He is just a scumbag. Why can he be so reluctant to let go? It is really understandable.
No.
Wu Mengyao took the tissue, tears welling up in her eyes. Duan Mo simply stuffed a pack of tissues into her hand.
After a few minutes, she finally calmed down and said thank you in a low voice.
Duanmo poured her another glass of water and asked, "Why do you doubt Yang Anning?"
Mentioning Yang Anning, Wu Mengyao bit her lip: "One time Zhou Zheng and I were together, and he saw us."
"Just because of this killing?" Lu Dongming asked in disbelief, "Does he like you?"
"No!" Wu Mengyao waved her hands repeatedly, "He stood up for Li Yitong."
"Can you make it clearer?"
Lu Wuchuan's face was too cold. Wu Mengyao only glanced at it, lowered his head, and said nonchalantly: "It was one night not long after we came to Kaoshan Village. After dinner, Zhou Zheng and I went for a walk outside. We were talking under the tree, and he
He put his arms around my shoulders and quickly left when he heard movement around him. He didn’t see who it was at the time, but when he walked back, he met Yang Anning. He was standing on the side of the path. Zhou Zheng said hello to him, but he ignored him.
, glared at us, turned around and went back. Later I heard from Zhou Zheng that he had hinted that if he dared to feel sorry for Li Yitong, he would be rude to him."
"Based on this?" Lu Dongming squinted at her. This was at best a threat, not evidence.
"The night before Zhou Zheng's accident, I saw him going out." Wu Mengyao said, "I was in the yard at the time, and he walked out. When he passed me, his eyes were very strange. I can't describe the feeling. It was quite
Scary.”
"So you're hiding in the house and don't dare to come out?" Duan Mo asked.
Wu Mengyao nodded: "Yes, I don't dare to see him, for fear that he will tell me about Zhou Zheng."
"Aren't you afraid now?" Duanmo asked again.
Wu Mengyao took a deep breath: "I'm afraid, but I'm even more afraid of death. I didn't think about it that much when Zhou Zheng's accident happened, but since Brother Zhao died, I think this matter must be related to Yang Anning."
"Do you know where he went?" Duanmo returned to the previous topic.
Wu Mengyao said very confidently: "He turned right when he went out. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. Now that I think about it, the path up the mountain is over there. He must have gone to find Zhou Zheng."
"What time was it when you saw him?" Lu Wuchuan asked.
Wu Mengyao thought for a while and said, "It's probably around eight o'clock."
Lu Dongming then asked: "Do you know when he came back?"
"I don't know." Wu Mengyao shook her head.
"Besides you, did anyone else see him going out?" Lu Dongming continued to ask.
Wu Mengyao still shook her head and said that after dinner that night, everyone gathered in the same room to play poker, and she was alone in the yard at that time.
Duan Mo felt that even if Zhou Zheng was a scumbag, it would not be Yang Anning's turn to stand up for Li Yitong, unless there was some special relationship between the two. So, she asked.
Wu Mengyao said with a hint of ridicule: "Li Yitong is like a pure little white lotus. Don't all men love this one?"
Lu Dongming didn't like hearing this, and it was hard to get angry, so he coughed twice to show his dissatisfaction. It's said that men love this one, and it sounds like they are superficial.
Apart from the previous ones, Wu Mengyao could not provide any other clues. Lu Wuchuan asked her to go back first and tell them what she remembered.
Lu Dongming was suspicious of Wu Mengyao's words. As soon as she left, he said, "I think there is some moisture in this. Wu Mengyao is deliberately drawing our attention to Yang Anning."
"I also think the reason she said is too far-fetched." Duan Mo nodded in agreement, "Even if Yang Anning likes Li Yitong, she won't have to kill Zhou Zheng!"
