"You’d better hurry back!" Seeing her still standing there, Lu Siyuan urged her to leave.
"..." It was indeed quite late, and she needed to go to school the next day. Although Tian Caiyan was reluctant, she had no choice but to leave, "I’ll come to see you at No. 3 High School next week."
Not long after Tian Caiyan left, Xiaocui hurriedly ran back. Seeing Shen Mianmian and Lu Siyuan standing at the entrance of the alley, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Are you both alright? I looked for a while before I found a payphone, I’ve already called the police, and they will arrive soon."
"We’re fine, the thugs have run away." Xiaocui was timid, so Shen Mianmian didn’t scare her. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝·𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚·𝔫𝔢𝔱
"That’s good, that’s good." Xiaocui patted her chest; she was really afraid that Shen Mianmian and Lu Siyuan might have been bullied.
"Since the police will be here soon, let’s wait here a bit longer before leaving!" Now that they had called the police, they definitely needed to explain the situation. They couldn’t let the police think it was a false alarm.
Sun He was just a teenager, and since he dared to do such things, he was most likely led astray by Brother Niu. It was possible he would cause trouble in the future, so it was better to inform the police of the situation.
"Then I’ll wait with you two." He couldn’t feel at ease letting the two young ladies wait here. Sun He might pull a surprise move, and it would be terrible if by saving others, he ended up harming himself.
"If we don’t go back now, the school is going to lock up." Shen Mianmian reminded him.
Lu Siyuan was unconcerned, "If they lock up, then I’ll just sleep at your place. Your living room couch is pretty big; I can sleep on it for one night, no problem. It’s not that cold now anyway, and even if I go back now, I might not make it before the school closes."
Shen Mianmian thought about it, and since he seemed to be right, she didn’t object anymore.
The three of them waited for about fifteen minutes before two policemen arrived on bicycles. After learning that it was the three of them who had called, they asked about what had happened. Lu Siyuan faithfully recounted the events and also provided Sun He’s home address.
Learning that the three were students, the police didn’t require them to go to the station. After questioning, the officers let them leave.
"A good kid not studying hard, now he’s going to be invited to the station for a ’chat’." On the way back, Lu Siyuan didn’t forget to reflect on Sun He’s troubles.
Looking back, he also thought he had been a bit impulsive, but if Sun He hadn’t lied, he wouldn’t have been expelled from school, so both were to blame.
"He’s only sixteen now. If he doesn’t learn his lesson, his future troubles will be more serious than just having a chat." Shen Mianmian didn’t want to use harsh words to judge a sixteen-year-old boy, but based on Sun He’s past lies, this guy’s character was truly not the best.
Back then, his words were aimed at getting the school to expel them.
"Do you think he’ll end up in jail?" Lu Siyuan pondered Shen Mianmian’s words and felt that she probably meant just that.
Seeing her expression, as serious as an adult, Lu Siyuan scoffed disdainfully, "Why are you acting like an adult?"
To be just a sixteen-year-old girl and always trying to act like an adult, she wasn’t even embarrassed.
She was actually an adult, okay?
Others always thought she was pretending to be an adult, but that was the real her emanating from her soul.
The three of them chatted, and before they knew it, they had arrived home. Shen Mianmian instinctively glanced at He Nan’s room door, which was closed with no light seeping from the crack, indicating no one was home.
Lately, Big Brother He often traveled for work and spent little time at home, so he was probably away on a trip again.
After opening the door, Lu Siyuan was the first to rush into the house, flopped onto the couch, and said contentedly, "I’ll sleep here tonight. Just give me an extra blanket to cover myself, and I’ll be fine."
