Afterward, the police conducted a thorough interrogation with Xu Niannian.
Being a high school student with a lot on her mind, Xu Niannian quickly broke down and confessed the truth once her psychological defenses were breached.
Following the interrogation, the authorities reviewed the surveillance footage from the internet cafe.
The police officer concluded, “This altercation stemmed from an emotional dispute.”
Cases rooted in emotional conflicts were often challenging to resolve. From Gu Pei and Brother Long’s perspectives, their actions towards their girlfriends seemed justified. However, a physical confrontation ensued.
Despite Xu Niannian positioning herself as a victim during her testimony, the police had pieced together the sequence of events—
It was Xu Niannian who initially provoked Brother Long.
In a manner reminiscent of the protagonist in certain youth novels, she found herself drawn to a man smoking on a street corner while she was still clad in her school uniform.
She was initially drawn to Brother Long’s mature and mischievous demeanor, finding him a refreshing departure from the immature boys at school. His aura of coolness and charm captivated her, prompting her to take the initiative to engage with him.
However, as time passed, she discovered that Brother Long fell far short of the romanticized image she had concocted.
He embodied the archetype of a complete hooligan. Chain-smoking, heavy drinking, engaging in fights, and bullying both men and women were his trademark behaviors. He exuded a barbaric and vulgar aura, his speech littered with obscenities.
Their relationship devolved into a mistress-like dynamic, with Brother Long providing her with monthly allowances but also subjecting her to physical abuse when intoxicated and displeased.
Xu Niannian mustered the courage to propose ending their relationship, but Brother Long’s threats kept her trapped.
In hindsight, she realized that extricating oneself from such a toxic relationship was easier said than done.
She feared Brother Long, so she saw Gu Pei, who came from a privileged background, as a potential means to escape from Brother Long’s clutches.
However, she never anticipated their unexpected encounter, which triggered the confrontation that unfolded tonight, catching her completely off guard.
Morally speaking, Xu Niannian’s deceitful actions were condemnable. Yet, legally, there was no crime in trying to extricate oneself from a toxic relationship.
Upon finally voicing the suppressed turmoil within her, Xu Niannian felt a weight lifted off her shoulders. As she glanced at Gu Pei, her emotions settled. “Gu Pei, I confess I initially saw you as a means to an end, but eventually, I genuinely grew to like you.”
She hoped to witness regret and remorse flicker across his face as he realized his misjudgment.
But that moment never came.
Instead, Gu Pei was teetering on the brink of losing his temper. “Damn it, Xu Niannian, have you lost your mind? Why didn’t you call the police?!”
Did Gu Pei deserve to be manipulated simply because of his privileged background?
He had genuine feelings for her, yet she treated him like a pawn and presumed he’d be the upright hero to rescue her?
He had believed Xu Niannian would sail through life effortlessly. He never expected her to struggle so visibly.
Xu Niannian’s eyes betrayed shock and hurt. She hadn’t anticipated Gu Pei’s lack of understanding.
“How could I call the police? He’d be in and out in a few months, ready to exact revenge. What choice do I have?” Xu Niannian’s voice trembled with anger and despair, tears streaming down her face. “I just want to survive. If this continues, I’ll be crushed!”
At this juncture, events spiraled beyond her control.
If she couldn’t sever ties with Brother Long, her future looked bleak.
Xu Niannian bit her lip, her eyes pleading with Gu Pei. “Gu Pei, please. I’m begging you. Help me.”
Gu Pei clenched his fists, avoiding her gaze. “If you knew I could help you, why didn’t you ask for my help before? Why resort to manipulation?”
He, Gu Pei, had always been loyal.
Xu Niannian and he were classmates, and even if their relationship was merely platonic, he would have stepped in had she asked for his assistance.
Xu Niannian: “I’ve consumed too many youth school novels.”
Ye Qingzi: “I’ve delved into too many stories of feuds and romance.”
