Chapter 254 Zhou Yu's Tragedy
Chapter 254 Zhou Yu's Tragedy
"President Qi, I can dance classical dance, why do you want to learn Latin dance?"
"It's always good to learn more, as the plot requires it," Qi Yuxuan responded.
“Okay, Qi Fox,” Qiu Ziyue muttered.
"What did you say, Twilight Sparkle?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Yuxuan couldn't help but think:
"You, Qiu Ziyue, used to call me Qi the Ice Block or Qi the Wooden Head in ancient times, and now you call me Qi the Fox? Do you even respect me?"
“I didn’t say anything to you, Mr. Qi.”
"No, I heard you say something about Qi the fox or something?"
"No, Mr. Qi, you misheard me. I said, 'Don't bully people.'"
"You, hey, Qiu Ziyue, you should study hard."
Just then, a light footstep came from outside the door.
The Latin teacher hired by Qi Yuxuan walked in, but it turned out to be a foreign young man.
"This is the Latin teacher I found for you, Teacher Mike."
Qi Yuxuan introduced it to Qiu Ziyue with a smile.
"Hello, Ms. Twilight Sparkle, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
Mike extended his hand warmly, his blue eyes sparkling with friendliness, and his wavy hair swayed gently with his movements, making him look exceptionally playful and cute.
Qiu Ziyue looked at the foreign teacher with some surprise, but quickly put on a friendly smile:
"Hello, Mr. Mike."
Qi Yuxuan also introduced Qiu Ziyue to Mike.
After exchanging greetings, the atmosphere became more relaxed.
"Let's start with the Rumba today!"
As Mike spoke, he had already prepared a music player and selected a cheerful Latin song.
"Why does President Qi want to learn this too?"
Qiu Ziyue asked curiously, clearly puzzled by the arrangement.
"We are the male and female leads, and we both need to dance, so we have to learn it."
Qi Yuxuan answered seriously, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.
"But……"
Just as Qiu Ziyue was about to say something, Mike interrupted her.
"Don't worry, Miss Twilight Sparkle, I'm here, I promise I'll teach you!"
Mike said confidently, then made an exaggerated dance move, making everyone burst into laughter.
As soon as the music started, Mike began teaching them the basic dance steps.
At first, Qiu Ziyue was able to keep up with the pace, while Qi Yuxuan seemed a bit clumsy.
"Left foot, right foot, spin around..."
Mike patiently guided him, but Qi Yuxuan kept going in the wrong direction.
"Hey, why are you using your right foot again!"
Qiu Ziyue couldn't help but laugh.
Who says you have to step with your left foot first when dancing?
Qi Yuxuan pretended to be serious when he retorted, which made everyone burst into laughter again.
"Okay, let's try a different approach."
Mike had a brilliant idea and decided to have the two of them work together to complete a simple duet dance.
"This time we're going to walk together, hand in hand, to the rhythm of the music."
Mike explained.
Qiu Ziyue and Qi Yuxuan smiled at each other, then held hands and began to try.
At first, their steps were a little out of sync, but gradually they found their rhythm.
"Great, you guys are really getting it!"
Mike encouraged them, and then joined in himself, performing several difficult moves and demonstrating his professional skills.
"Wow, that's amazing!" Qiu Ziyue exclaimed.
"Looks like I still need to practice more."
Qi Yuxuan joked, which made everyone laugh.
While dancing, Qiu Ziyue's phone suddenly rang.
Qiu Ziyue was surprised to see that it was Gong Xiaoxiao calling.
"Ziyue, something terrible has happened! Zhou Yu is in trouble. Let's go to the funeral home together."
"What? How could this be?" Qiu Ziyue exclaimed in shock.
"What's wrong, Twilight Sparkle? What happened?"
Qi Yuxuan and Mike asked.
"Something bad has happened. Xiaoxiao called and said Zhou Yu had an accident. I don't know what happened. I need to go to the funeral home."
Qiu Ziyue spoke in a pale and terrified voice.
"Then let Xiao Zhuang drive, I'll take you there."
Before Qiu Ziyue could even say "no need" in a polite way, Qi Yuxuan grabbed her and left.
Before leaving, she apologized to Mike, saying she had to go first.
In the car, Qi Yuxuan looked at Qiu Ziyue's pale face and knew that the young woman was probably scared.
Although Qiu Ziyue in ancient times was decisive and fearless in the martial arts world, in modern times she has lost her memory and is still very afraid of funerals.
When they arrived at the funeral home, many of Zhou Yu's teachers and classmates were there.
In a daze
A vast expanse of white, a feeling of oppression and desolation.
Heartbroken and devastated, I offer solace and comfort.
Gong Xiaoxiao held Qiu Ziyue's hand and whispered:
"I heard that Zhou Yu was eliminated from the last competition, but someone called her later to meet her, saying they were interested in her and wanted to sign some kind of contract. After Zhou Yu went there, she disappeared. This morning, someone was taking a walk in the West Suburbs Park and found her there."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Ziyue's face instantly turned pale:
"Why didn't you report it to the police when they went missing?"
"You don't know yet, do you? Her father works away from home, and her mother is a stepmother who only knows how to play mahjong all day long and doesn't care about Zhou Yu's life or death at all."
Gong Xiaoxiao sighed, her tone filled with helplessness.
"My God, Zhou Yu is so pitiful."
Qiu Ziyue felt a pang of sadness. As Zhou Yu's deskmate, she had never known these things.
"She never told me. If I had known, I would have cared more about her. All she wanted was to sign a contract with the company. If she had just told me, I could have recommended her to Ziyue Company."
"It's not your fault. Zhou Yu has a strong sense of self-respect. She doesn't like others talking about her family situation, so many of our classmates don't know."
Gong Xiaoxiao comforted her.
Qiu Ziyue thought of Zhou Yu's stubborn yet adorable demeanor, and an endless sadness welled up in her heart.
"What did the police say?" Qiu Ziyue asked again.
"When the police found Zhou Yu, they discovered that her body was covered in bruises. The forensic autopsy revealed that she had been beaten to death because her internal organs were damaged," Gong Xiaoxiao said in a low voice.
"Who could be so cruel? Zhou Yu is so pitiful," Qiu Ziyue whispered.
Qiu Ziyue secretly made up her mind to find a way to cooperate with the police, find the murderer as soon as possible, and give Zhou Yu justice.
Qiu Ziyue returned home, unable to calm down for a long time.
She sat at her desk, lost in thought.
Zhou Yu's voice, appearance, and smile kept appearing before my eyes.
That girl who always worked hard silently had such a complicated life background.
She realized that she was usually too focused on her own things and neglected the people around her.
"If I had cared more about her, perhaps none of this would have happened."
Qiu Ziyue thought to herself with self-reproach.
“Don’t think about it anymore. It’s not your fault. I’ve warned her before not to trust other people, but she wouldn’t listen,” Gong Xiaoxiao said.
Ziyue sadly attended Zhou Yu's funeral, knowing that Zhou Yu was a huge fan of Qi Yuxuan.
After she asked Qi Yuxuan to send Zhou Yu a bouquet of flowers, Qi Yuxuan nodded.
Qi Yuxuan placed a bouquet of flowers in front of Zhou Yu's grave and wished Zhou Yu peace.
