Those tender and awkward years kidnapped me

  When the school bell rang, Tian Tian was stopped by a girl at the classroom door. The girl looked her up and down and said, "Are you Tian Tian?"

  "Yes," Tian Tian looked up to see that it was the girl who had been provoking Bai Xiu, and she felt annoyed by the girl's disdainful gaze. So, she said coldly, "What do you want?"

  Su Yu smiled slyly and said slowly, "The physical education teacher is looking for you."

  "Looking for me?" she asked.

  "Yeah, you did great in that relay race. The teacher said you have strong explosive power and a robust physique, so he's considering putting you on the sprint team."

  "I'm not interested in this, would you mind telling him?" Tian Tian said, turning around and about to leave.

  "You have to tell him yourself, what does it mean if you ignore him?" Su Yu grabbed Tian Tian's shoulder and said angrily.

  Tian Tian raised her head and gazed seriously at Su Yu's eyes, saying word by word, "Put your hand down, Su Yu."

  Su Yu heard the girl's cold tone and raised her hand like a needle, this girl actually knew her name, and the strong aura in her eyes made her pupils shrink. She coughed lightly and said in a gentle voice, "We should clarify things with the physical education teacher face to face anyway."

  "I understand," she said, and Tian Tian brushed past Su Yu, unfortunately, she didn't catch the sly and triumphant glint in Su Yu's eyes. She went straight to the teacher's office, missing the best opportunity to save Tian Cheng. For the next few days, she lived in self-blame and pain, her eyes dull and lost, buried in guilt and refusing to come out.

  "Teacher, are you looking for me?" Tian Tian walked to the office door and knocked on it.

  Mr. Zheng frowned, slung his bag over his shoulder and said, "I didn't look for you, school's already out, why aren't you going home?"

  Oh no! Tian Tian's forehead suddenly broke out in cold sweat, she shouldn't have believed Su Yu's words, she wasn't even familiar with her, how could the teacher let her pass on a message? Moreover... moreover, she had already known Peng Yin for a long time, Peng Yin, was she finally taking action? So, why did she want to stop herself? What did this woman want to do? Tian Cheng! That's right, she wanted to harm Tian Cheng! Her head "boomed" loudly, like thunder exploding, her consciousness disappeared in an instant, her mind went blank, she rushed out of the office and ran towards the teaching building.

  "Tian Tian! Slow down!" The physical education teacher yelled from behind her. This kid, what's wrong with her again, so impulsive and reckless, nowadays young people are all like this, the times have changed, they're not as mature and steady as their generation used to be, he shook his head and locked the office door.

  Tian Tian ran back to the teaching building when only students on duty were left. She grabbed a boy and asked anxiously, "Have you seen Tian Cheng?"

  The boy looked at the girl's tense face and shook his head in dismay.

  She let go of the boy and ran to ask another girl, "Have you seen Tian Cheng?"

  The girl shook her head, indicating she hadn't seen it.

  "Have you seen Lin Ling?"

  Lin Ling went home long ago.

  "And you?" Tian Tian turned to another classmate, her eyes already brimming with tears, and asked in a trembling voice, "Have you seen Tian Cheng?"

  "Huh, it was just here a moment ago!" said the classmate.

  "How much longer?" Tian Tian asked unconsciously clutching her classmate's clothes.

  "About fifteen minutes ago."

  "He seems to have gone with a big uncle," said a small boy in the corner, "Just now, a man with a long beard took him away."

  "What does he look like?" Tian Tian asked hastily.

  "He was wearing sunglasses, so I didn't get a clear look, but he had a sturdy build and wore all black... that's all I know." The small boy said weakly, "Did Tian Cheng have an accident?"

  "No," Tian Tian said resolutely, twitching her nose. "Tian Cheng will be fine."

  "Thank you." She said, turning around and not hearing the boy's response of "You're welcome, he had helped me before". She didn't hear any sound, her whole body was like a broken radio, making ear-piercing noises, as if there was also a sense of explosion mixed in. Her whole body felt like it had been blown apart. She pretended to be calm and returned home, seeing Alan busy watering the flowers, she said "Alan, please call Old Zhang over."

  "Miss, is there something wrong?" Old Zhang looked at Tian Tian's cold and expressionless face and asked in a low voice.

  "Call 110, report a missing person, hurry! Xiaocheng is gone!" Tian Tian said with a dull gaze, grabbing Old Zhang's sleeve.

  "Master is missing?!" Old Zhang ran over with a look of great shock, "What's going on?! How could Master disappear, we haven't offended anyone! However, Miss," Old Zhang said with difficulty, "a disappearance of less than 24 hours cannot be reported to the police."

  "Yes, my brain is not enough," Tian Tian sighed and fell onto the sofa. Even if they called the police, would anyone dare to intervene? That was Peng Yin, someone even the mayor didn't dare to easily provoke. How could they dare investigate her? Now all they could do was wait. "I know, Old Zhang, I reckon they don't dare do anything to Tian Cheng for now either, we can only wait," she muttered to herself, unsure if she was comforting Old Zhang or comforting herself.

  Tian Tian locked herself in the room, Alan called her to eat but she didn't move. She lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling with her eyes open. Should she tell her parents? But what could they do? They only knew how to make money, what else could they do? Would they still care about her and Xiao Cheng? Everything had to rely on herself anyway, who let herself provoke that venomous woman.

  But what could she do? She was powerless, and if she were to rush forward like a wild animal, she would only end up hurting Peng Yin. Or should she just stand by and do nothing, thinking of that little Qing, remembering his gentle face, the pain in her heart grew, as if someone was slowly stabbing her in the heart, torturing herself with each stab.

  That was the first time she had encountered such a huge setback, the first time she faced such a formidable opponent and was left helpless. Now all she could do was wait, waiting for that damned kidnapper to call her, waiting for the long and arduous ordeal to pass. She suddenly sat up, ran to the cabinet, took out the pistol that Zong had given her, carefully stroked the cold gun body, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes. If others were not benevolent, then she would not be righteous either. If anyone dared to harm Tian Cheng even slightly, she would make them pay with their life, no matter who it was. Thinking this, she put the pistol under her pillow, pulled up the curtains, turned off the lights, wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, and gently closed her eyes, how could she face the challenges ahead if she didn't get a good rest?

  Digression

  Is anyone still watching? If so, leave a message and give Yingying some motivation.
