Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

Chapter 989: Chapter 989: Only One Way to Die

”Stop!” An Hao stepped forward, blocking Lei Linxuan’s way, ”How long are you going to run away like this? Do you really think you can carry someone else’s honors with a clear conscience?”

Lei Linxuan lowered her head, and after a long while, her shoulders began to tremble lightly, tears dropping down, melting patches of snow on the ground.

”You’re crying?” This was the first time An Hao had seen Lei Linxuan so vulnerable.

”Please! An Hao! I’m begging you! Don’t push me anymore! Just consider it sparing my life.” Lei Linxuan sobbed, her words often choked by tears, ”If you keep pushing me, I’ll only have death as my escape.”

When An Hao heard these words, she nearly spit out blood in anger, ”Make yourself clear, I’m merely defending my rights! My honors! How am I driving you to death? If I say, if you don’t return my honors to me, then I won’t live! I will also only have death as my escape, then what should I do?”

”An Hao... save me... please save me!” Lei Linxuan couldn’t hold back any longer, and burst into loud crying, ”What should I do? What should I do?”

Lei Linxuan’s abnormal reaction made An Hao feel uneasy.

Thinking back on Lei Linxuan’s past behaviors, a sudden thought came to An Hao’s mind, ”Tell me! Is it Cheng Yu who’s threatening you?”

She had previously thought that Lei Linxuan was just not willing to let go of her honors and afraid of being punished.

Now, she suddenly realized.

Perhaps, Lei Linxuan was facing double the pressure.

At first, it was the worry about her future, not willing to speak up, and now, she might also be under threat from Cheng Yu, which explained why she was in so much pain.

Lei Linxuan grabbed An Hao’s hand tightly, looked around, then pulled her to a less crowded area and whispered in an extremely low voice, ”You’re right! It really is Cheng Yu threatening me! My conscience is tormented every day, I want to speak up, I want to confess in front of everyone, but I’m scared... I’m scared...”

As she spoke, her tears flowed freely.

”How did she threaten you?” An Hao frowned deeply, suppressing a surge of anger deep inside. Is this something a teacher should do?

It’s simply a disgrace to the teaching profession!

”Fire! The unexplained fire at my home was set by someone she instructed,” Lei Linxuan gritted her teeth and finally spilled the truth, ”Just like that, my family’s house was gone, and now my parents and younger siblings don’t even have a place to live. She’s trying to drive me to death! Tell me, what deep hatred does she have against me to treat me like this!”

”She has no hatred against you!” An Hao said in a low voice.

”Then, does she have hatred against you?”

”No.” An Hao squeezed the words through her teeth, ”Have you ever seen any normal person do such a thing! Cheng Yu is a fanatic! She is an outright lunatic!”

”An Hao... I’m sorry! I’m really sorry! All of this is my own fault.” Lei Linxuan was scared, but she couldn’t take it anymore. She couldn’t admit in front of everyone that it was Cheng Yu who stole An Hao’s paper for her to plagiarize. However, she had to tell An Hao. The pressure was too immense, she had to find a way to release it.

”Tell me the real truth! Maybe, I can still find a way to help you!” An Hao said.

”I’ll tell you. But please, An Hao, just keep it to yourself after you know, please don’t tell anyone else!” Lei Linxuan pleaded.
