Reborn, she saved the boy who was bullied to death

Chapter 234 Why Not Answer the Call

After running out, Shang Qing regretted her decision. She had impulsively run out to find Ji Xun. But she had no idea where Li Rui's home was.

After a long search, Shang Qing finally came up with a solution. By contacting the know-it-all Zhang Qi and asking him for help, she finally got Li Rui's home address.

Standing at the door of Li Rui's house, Shang Qing hesitated as he stretched out his hand and then retracted it.

She took a deep breath and was about to knock on the door when it opened. A middle-aged woman holding a bag of garbage came across Shang Qing.

"You are...?" The middle-aged woman looked at the pretty girl with red lips, white teeth and fair skin in front of her. She was stunned for a moment, then asked enthusiastically, "Little girl, is there anything I can help you with?"

Shang Qing hurriedly greeted her politely and explained her purpose: "Hello, Auntie. Sorry to bother you. I'm looking for Ji Xun."

"Ji Xun? Is he the Xun Xueshen?"

"Hmm, yes."

The middle-aged woman was very patient and smiled gently, "Little girl, you've come to the wrong place. This is not the home of Xun Xueshen."

"Auntie, I know." Knowing that her aunt had misunderstood, Shang Qing hurriedly explained, "I'm his sister. He came to play with Li Rui, and I came to take him home."

"Xun Xueshen didn't come to my house to play." However, this made Li Rui's mother confused. Then, she shouted inside: "Li Rui, come here."

"Oh. Okay, Mom, what's wrong?" Soon, Li Rui's voice came from inside.

When Li Rui came trotting over and saw Shang Qing at the door, his eyes suddenly widened and he shouted excitedly, "Master Qing, Master Qing, why are you here?"

Li Rui's mother was shocked by her son's crazy behavior, but after all, there was a little girl around, so she didn't punish her son. She just asked, "The little girl said her brother came to play with you? What's going on?"

"Ah? Xun Xueshen?" Li Rui tilted his head, scratched it in confusion, looked at Shang Qing, and said puzzledly, "No. Xun Xueshen didn't come to see me."

Shang Qing frowned, his heartbeat quickened, his scalp tingled, and a layer of cold sweat broke out all over his body. He asked in a trembling voice, "When was the last time you saw Xiao Xun?"

"It's that time we attended the community celebration. Eh?" Li Rui saw Shang Qing turn around and run downstairs. He shouted anxiously, "Qingda? Qingda! What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Shang Qing didn't waste any more time and ran out while making a phone call like crazy.

Why is there still no one answering the phone? Where on earth did Xiaoxun go?

It was obvious that Ji Xun had lied to Grandma! He hadn't come to Li Rui's house! So where could he have gone? Where did he go?

Could it be that I had hurt him by scolding him that day? So, he went into hiding to lick his wounds?

Yes, of course he was. He's a sensitive boy. Why didn't I ask him why? I didn't even give him a chance to explain! Why didn't he answer the phone?

Shang Qing didn't dare to call Grandma Kang and tell her. After all, her grandmother was old and she was afraid that she would worry.

But now Xiaoxun is nowhere to be found and cannot be contacted. Shang Qing is very worried and scared! Although Grandma Kang said that Xiaoxun would contact her normally, what if a bad guy showed up?

In just a short while, many negative thoughts completely occupied her mind. The more she thought about it, the more scared she became. The more scared she became, the more she thought about it. A sense of unknown despair filled her heart.

Finally, when she was at a loss and everything was blurry, the phone rang. Shang Qing hurriedly pressed the answer button.

"Hello..." It was Ji Xun's voice. His voice was hoarse and full of fatigue, but it was his voice.

When Shang Qing heard this single word, it was as if all the strength in his body was drained away. A nameless rage rose up in him, and he roared out, "Where are you!"

Ji Xun clutched the phone, his fingers turning pale. He moved the phone further away, took a deep breath, calmed his breath, and then put the phone to his lips: "Sister, I'm at Li Rui's house."

"Where are you? You're not at Li Rui's house at all!" Shang Qing got even angrier when she heard he was still lying to her. "Tell me where you are! Now, right now! Wuuuuuu..."

When Ji Xun heard Shang Qing crying helplessly, he almost fell down in panic. Seeing the staff members' surprised expressions, he ran and asked anxiously, "Sister, don't cry, don't cry. Where are you? I'll find you!"

Shang Qing choked with sobs. She raised her head and looked around with tearful eyes.

This place is quite unfamiliar, there is no one around, it is quite remote and there are no landmarks.

Shang Qing could only answer dejectedly, "Xiao Xun, I... wuwuwu... I don't know..."

"Be good, stay where you are and don't go anywhere. I'll come find you." Ji Xun activated his GPS and discovered Shang Qing's location near Li Rui's house, not far from where he was. He quickly took a taxi and headed straight for Shang Qing.

Shang Qing was a little confused. She, she couldn't clearly explain where she was. But that didn't mean she was lost. She could go find him. How come, now, she was the one waiting here, and Xiao Xun came to find her?

Shang Qing, crying like a little cat, stood there stupidly, wiping her tears with the back of her hand and kicking the pebbles on the ground out of boredom.

She didn't want to cry at first, but when she heard Ji Xun's voice, she couldn't help it. The more she tried to hold back her tears, the harder it was to hold them back. At this point, her emotions calmed down, she felt a little embarrassed, and she stopped crying.

It was already July, afternoon, and even though it was approaching dusk, the heat was still sweltering. My face was damp, making it even more uncomfortable.

She saw a roadside tree, kicked stones as she walked over, sat down on the ground, and counted the ants on the ground.

But what I was thinking was, "Hmph, wait and see how I'm going to deal with you. You're so brave! You dared not come home for several days and even lied to me that you were staying at Li Rui's house! If I don't deal with you, won't you become even more daring in the future?"

However, when that tall and straight figure ran towards her, all the angry words she wanted to scold were stuck in her throat and she couldn't remember a single word.

How come he became so thin and haggard in just over two days?

Looking at her like this, the tears that had been suppressed welled up again. The orange light of the setting sun reflected on Shang Qing's creamy skin, making her look poignant, beautiful, and fragile.

Ji Xun, who was running towards this side, saw such a devastating scene.

He staggered, ran over, squatted down, and held Shang Qing in his arms. His big hands supported her head, and he panted intermittently: "Sister... Sister... Don't be afraid... Don't be afraid."

Shang Qing's face was pressed against his neck like this, and she could clearly feel the violent beating of his heart as he gasped.

As luck would have it, because he was being pressed down, Shang Qing lowered his head, and his warm lips brushed against the skin on Ji Xun's slender neck.
