Reborn, she saved the boy who was bullied to death

Chapter 254 Why do you care about her so much?

Ji Xun's gentle and clear voice brought Shang Qing back to her thoughts. Smelling his fresh fragrance from a bath, she knew without looking in the mirror that she must be blushing.

Looking at Shang Qing's pink and rosy cheeks and her tender lips, Ji Xun recalled that day when Shang Qing got drunk and put her arms around his neck, smiling at him adorably with drunken eyes. He secretly pursed his lips, his eyes trembling slightly, and he quickly dodged, not daring to look at her beautiful appearance again.

Shang Qing didn't notice Ji Xun's abnormality. She pursed her lips, cleared her throat gently, and tried to regain her voice: "Xiao Xun, I, I want to ask, what did Sister Jia say to you today?"

Seeing that Shang Qing was still concerned about this matter, Ji Xun was a little worried. His eyes flickered, and he replied with a stiff upper lip: "Sister, it's nothing serious. Officer Ying hopes that I can help with something."

"Oh. So that's it." Shang Qing murmured absentmindedly.

As if she realized how strange she was, she calmed herself down and looked at Ji Xun's worried expression.

Shang Qing thought about it. Since she was facing the person she loved the most, trusted the most, then there was nothing she couldn't ask. So, she looked at Ji Xun with a firm gaze and finally asked the question that shocked her. "Xiao Xun, I heard that Zhang Qian died. I was so shocked. I didn't expect him to die in such a sudden way. It feels so strange."

Ji Xun nodded and said softly, "I heard from Officer Ying that he is dead. Moreover, his entire family is dead."

"The whole family?!" Shang Qing, who had originally thought that Zhang Qian was dead, stood up in shock, unable to believe it. This news was too shocking and terrifying for her. She asked tremblingly, "Zhang Qing is dead too?"

Ji Xun didn't know why Shang Qing reacted so strongly, and hurriedly grabbed her slightly trembling, wet little hand.

At this time, Shang Qing's hands were a little cold, and her palms were sweating. Ji Xun thought she was scared, so he hurriedly comforted her gently: "Sister, Zhang Qing is not dead. It's Zhang Qian, Zhang Qian's grandfather, and his parents are dead."

Hearing that Zhang Qing wasn't dead, Shang Qing felt a sudden sense of emptiness inside her. She didn't understand why she felt this way. It seemed as if Zhang Qing was also a part of her life that needed to be resolved. She couldn't die yet!

"So many people died? Did he offend someone? Could it be a multi-person operation?" Shang Qing was confused. How could Zhang Qian's grandfather, father, and mother also die? In his previous life, it was clearly only Zhang Qian who died.

"Not necessarily." Ji Xun considered it for a moment, his large hand still wrapped around Shang Qing's small hand, and patiently explained, "Zhang Qian died in the woodshed. There were marks on his neck from being strangled, and a bruise on his head. His grandfather, father, and mother were killed in their sleep."

The murderer set fire to Zhang Qian, but because the kitchen was leaking, only his clothes were burned and his skin was burned, but his whole body was still intact.

Of course, Ji Xun wouldn't tell Shang Qing all that much. After all, the thought of such a scene was terrifying. He couldn't possibly let Shang Qing feel uncomfortable.

"That means even one person can kill them, right?"

"Yes."

"Isn't Zhang Qing here?" Shang Qing couldn't help but ask this name.

"Zhang Qing?" Hearing Shang Qing reminding him of Zhang Qing's name again, Ji Xun was a little puzzled: Why does Shang Qing care so much about this girl?

Since he was curious, Ji Xun asked, "Sister, why do you ask? Does Zhang Qing have anything to do with this?"

"I don't know. But Zhang Qing lives with Zhang Qian's family. She is usually responsible for taking care of them. If all of Zhang Qian's family members died, then she couldn't have avoided it. Could it be that she wasn't there that day?" Shang Qing narrated what she knew with some doubt.

In her past life, Shang Qing often visited their home, so she naturally knew about this matter. However, Zhang Qing didn't let others know. After all, Zhang Qing was like a slave at home, so how could she let others know that she was so miserable?

It was precisely because she knew Zhang Qing was so pitiful that Shang Qing in her previous life would take her out to play, buy her things, and be absolutely generous in helping her. This was also the fundamental reason why, in this life, even though she knew Zhang Qing was deliberately targeting her, Shang Qing still endured it.

Shang Qing simply couldn't bring herself to argue with such a miserable girl. It wasn't because she was a saint, but because she didn't want to add more misfortune to Zhang Qing's miserable life.

Zhang Qing was unloved, even her closest loved ones treated her like this. It was already quite pitiful. If it were the old Shang Qing, she would have chosen to help. But in this new life, she vaguely knew that this Zhang Qing had hurt her before. She would not choose to help her again. As long as she didn't provoke her, Shang Qing would just write off everything from her past life and this life before her rebirth.

But what Shang Qing didn't know was that even if she didn't go to settle the score with Zhang Qing, Zhang Qing would never think of letting her go!

Upon hearing this crucial information from Shang Qing, Ji Xun lowered his gaze, concealing the coldness within. It seemed Zhang Qing was involved in this matter. Furthermore, it was clear that she might be the murderer the police were looking for!

Ji Xun had never imagined that a girl like Zhang Qing, who looked like a beautiful little girl, could be so cruel and ruthless, killing people! Was she so bold?

"It seems that you are going to be restless again these days. Since you are determined to commit suicide, give me a chance, then I might as well help you." Ji Xun, who was as innocent as a child in front of Shang Qing, now raised a vicious and cruel smile at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were as deep as the deep sea.

"Sister, I believe the murderer will be caught soon." Ji Xun lowered his eyes to look at Shang Qing's fair neck, gently put his arm around Shang Qing's shoulders, and whispered, "It's getting late, sister, don't think about it, go to bed early."

"Yeah." Shang Qing nodded and was sent back to her bedroom by Ji Xun.

Shang Qing lay obediently on the bed. Ji Xun gently covered her with the quilt, with unmelting tenderness in his eyes.

Shang Qing's eyes were a little evasive. She knew that her brother was handsome and had beautiful eyes, but she just realized that even though Ji Xun only cared about her as a simple family member, he could be so affectionate as honey.

This reminded Shang Qing of what they had said: Such a pair of eyes, even when looking at a dog, are full of affection.

How could he compare himself to a dog? Thinking of this, Shang Qing almost choked to death on his own saliva.

"Cough cough cough..."

This frightened Ji Xun so much that he hurried forward and embraced Shang Qing, letting her lie in his arms. He patted her back and coaxed her anxiously: "Sister, don't worry, don't worry, breathe slowly. Be good. Don't be afraid. Sister, it's okay, it's okay."

But his trembling fingers revealed his fear, worry and helplessness at the moment.
