meow if you are happy

Chapter 55: Stop being a gunman!
He could have said it more harshly, but... his wrist was still aching, so he restrained himself a lot in front of Chi Yan.

After all, Zhang Yi pushed the door and was about to go out.

But the moment he stepped out of the door, a group of wild dogs suddenly rushed up next to him.

Zhang Yi has been afraid of dogs since he was a child. He was so scared that his legs were weak and his arrogance was gone. "Help...Help!!"

Then, Chi Yan stood behind him and watched helplessly as he rolled and crawled away, even losing one of his shoes. His arrogance was gone, and he was in a very embarrassed state.

He shook his head and smiled, then turned to look at Xiao Xiu who covered his mouth and snickered, "You, you..."

"Hahaha, isn't he funny?"

Xiao Xiu followed Chi Yan into the bookstore with a smile, and then sat on the counter, his laughter light and sweet.

A bit of cute cunning flashed in her innocent, clear, agate-like eyes.

"There's nothing I can do about it. Who made him speak rudely to Chi Yan? I just don't allow anyone to say bad things about you! I hate his proud and smug look even more."

Chi Yan gently blew on the hot water in the thermos cup, "If you want to abolish it, you must strengthen it. Let him go."

Xiao Xiu blinked, "It seems that I need to read more books to understand Chi Yan better. But, what does that mean?"

"Sometimes, if you allow some stupid behavior or even promote him, he will self-destruct faster."

Xiao Xiu nodded in understanding.I don’t know what Chi Yan is going to do.I just suddenly thought of something Zhang Yi said and asked Xiang Chi Yan, "Have you always written books for him?"

"Ah."

"Then why don't you use your own name?"

When Chi Yan heard this question, his hand holding the cup froze. The wolfberries floating in the cup swayed under the light golden sunlight...

"Chi Yan? What's wrong with you?"

Chi Yan came back to his senses and then looked away, as if he was escaping from something.

"It's nothing, I just don't like to be noticed. I'll go to the warehouse and put the newly arrived books on the bookshelf. You can play with yourself for a while."

Seeing Chi Yan leaving in a hurry, Xiao Xiu felt very puzzled.

In the dimly lit warehouse, Chi Yan stood alone in a large shadow, motionless, and did not sort out any new books.It was obviously summer, but he felt a bone-chilling chill all around him.

The mottled blood stains, the torn manuscripts on the desk, and the curses from everyone surged up like a raging tide, swallowing him whole in an instant...

In fact, a long time ago, probably before the second year of high school, Chi Yan's dream was to become a novel writer.What he is good at is not just suspense novels.

At that time, there was a stray cat around the high school, a pure white lion cat.Chi Yan lived frugally every day and used his little pocket money to buy her delicious dried fish and canned cats.

The lion cat also likes to eat small dried fish just like Xiao Xiu.

He remembered clearly that it was autumn, and it was rainy that day. Chi Yan ran quickly with the dried fish in his arms, trying to deliver the dried fish to her before morning self-study.

but……

He didn't see the lion cat in the chimney of the park in the middle of the street.

Chi Yan thought she had gone to play elsewhere, so he had no choice but to put the dried fish in the chimney and rush to school.

It was clearly early morning, and the sky outside was covered with dark clouds, making it look like night.The incandescent lights in the classroom are very dazzling.Standing at the door, Chi Yan found that the students did not take advantage of the teacher's absence to chat and play around as usual, but all gathered around a desk, and the screams of the girls panicked were very ear-piercing.

Chi Yan walked in and realized that they were surrounding his desk.

The tables and chairs were tilted here and there, and the novel manuscripts in the drawers were scattered on the floor, covered with dark red blood stains.

Lying there quietly beside him was the lion cat he had been feeding.

Her white hair was covered with blood. She was...abused and died...

At that time, Chi Yan seemed to have instantly fallen into a rich and bottomless darkness.None of the surrounding sounds could be heard.

"Chi Yan... what the hell is going on! Did you do it!! I, I just looked for your homework in the drawer. When I took it out, my hand was full of blood... How could this happen? You are talking. !!”

"Who else could he be? This pervert!!"

"I can't be a classmate with this kind of person. Hurry up and call the teacher...no, call the principal! He must be fired! What if he kills someone in the future!!"

Chi Yan ignored the sounds around him, walked towards it step by step, and held it in his arms.Its body was so light, and its head hung lifelessly in his arms.Tears fell on her body.

Every time she finished eating the dried fish, she would meow at him twice... as if to say thank you.

But from now on, he would never hear it again.

At first, the parents were furious and panicked when they learned about this incident, so they jointly demanded that the school expel him.

His class teacher helped him look for evidence to prove his innocence, but found nothing.The head teacher asked him to explain to everyone, but Chi Yan couldn't say anything at that time.He only had three words: 'I didn't. '

No one believed it.

Chi Yan still remembers that after learning about this incident, his elderly grandfather came to the school and begged the principal not to expel Chi Yan.Seeing his grandfather's eyes full of tears, Chi Yan was even more heartbroken.But he can't do anything.

In the end, due to insufficient evidence, the school did not expel Chi Yan and could only try to appease the parents and students.This incident spread all over the streets, and everyone thought he did it.

Chi Yan became more and more reticent.Abuse, insults and violence followed one after another, but he just endured it all with a blank expression.

He felt that his biggest mistake was not protecting it.

Every time he was punched or kicked, he didn't resist, as if he was trying to atone for his sins.

Since then, his grades have plummeted, and his heart has become more and more withdrawn and indifferent, placing himself in the shadow of darkness.

A week later, Chi Yan went to the company to settle the manuscript fee for "The Third Person". The editor was just about to talk to him about the idea of ​​​​the next book, but he said: "I'm sorry, I have decided not to write for him anymore." .”

The editor was stunned for a long time, "Did he come to trouble you? That matter must have been framed by his colleagues and has nothing to do with you! I told him countless times!"

Chi Yan did not answer him directly, "Thank you for taking care of me in the past few years."

The editor's eyes gleamed, "Do you want to consider what I said last time? Write a book in your own name? I will throw all the company's best resources at you!"

"No need, thank you."

The editor sighed with regret, "Then I can no longer watch your writing..."

"Goodbye."

"Well, I wish you a happy life! All the best!"

Chi Yan is not a gunman just to make money. He really likes to write novels. He is immersed in the world he weaves and feels the laughter, curses, joys and sorrows of the characters, which seems to fill the deepest void in his heart.He originally thought that his days would be more boring when he stopped writing, but because of the sudden break, his days were not as deserted as he thought, but more lively.
