Chapter 27: Coma
“…”
Lu Zhiyin looked up at the Taimei and Qin An in front of her.
“I…”
Facing the Taimei’s teasing questions, she felt at a loss.
Compensation? What a joke… They were the ones who bullied her first, why should she compensate them?
In her heart, Lu Zhiyin roared, but could only roar in her heart.
Facing Qin An, she was truly helpless. She definitely couldn’t win in a fight, and running away was also out of the question. As for trying to reason with her? That was an even more impossible task.
With a crestfallen face, Lu Zhiyin slowly reached for her school uniform pocket.
The coins had already been thrown out, and now only some banknotes were left in her pocket. Should she proactively give this money to Qin An?
This money was related to her meals for the next period of time, but it seemed like she couldn’t not give it.
After thinking for a long time, Lu Zhiyin finally decided to back down again.
She knew that giving in repeatedly would not lead to a good outcome, but given her current situation, she could only back down.
“I’m sorry, this is all I have…”
Trembling, Lu Zhiyin took out the remaining twenty-something yuan in banknotes from her pocket. Before Lu Zhiyin could let go, the Taimei squatted down and snatched the money away.
After counting the money, the Taimei showed a somewhat disgusted expression, but still put the money away.
Since she had received the money, she should be let go now, right?
Thinking so, just as Lu Zhiyin was about to get up, Qin An grabbed her hair again.
She exerted force downwards, making Lu Zhiyin’s face come into close contact with the ground.
The cold ground made Lu Zhiyin’s mind clearer and allowed her to better feel the humiliation before her.
“It’s… almost class time… let go of me…”
She tried hard to lift her head, but unfortunately, her frail body did not support her to resist Qin An.
“Didn’t you just say you didn’t have any money?”
Tilting her head, Qin An looked at Lu Zhiyin with a strange smile on her lips.
Her words stunned Lu Zhiyin. She clenched her fists, but did not even dare to pound the ground.
Not knowing how to answer Qin An’s question, or how to survive the bullying that seemed unavoidable, Lu Zhiyin shook her head incessantly.
“Tsk…”
Looking at the extremely weak white-haired girl in front of her, Qin An remembered that when she used to bully her, she would actually resist. She didn’t know what stimulus she had received, but she had suddenly become weak two days ago.
But it didn’t matter. On the contrary, such a weak bullying target made Qin An feel even more stimulated.
She might indeed be a scoundrel for enjoying bullying the weak in school.
“…”
Silently grabbing one of Lu Zhiyin’s wrists, Qin An dragged Lu Zhiyin along the corridor.
“…Let me go, I… I already gave you money… I really have nothing left…”
Her body rubbed against the ground through her school uniform. There wasn’t much pain, but it was still uncomfortable, very uncomfortable.
The rustling sound of the fabric rubbing against the ground made Lu Zhiyin feel flustered. Her beautiful red eyes began to water.
Unfortunately, tears were useless. At least no one cared about her suffering right now.
Dragging Lu Zhiyin to the stairwell, Qin An pulled her to the bottom of the stairs.
Her body bumped and jolted between the steps, which was much more painful than when she was dragged along the corridor.
The edges of the steps truly caused her frequent pain.
“…”
Gritting her teeth, by the time Lu Zhiyin was dragged to the bottom of the stairs, her blue and white school uniform was already covered in a lot of dust, and small tears had appeared in many places, revealing threads, making her look very disheveled.
“Hoo… hoo…”
Panting heavily, every part of her body ached. After being dragged for so long, Lu Zhiyin even felt like one of her arms was no longer hers.
She was already flustered, and after experiencing a lot of pain, her consciousness became a bit blurry.
At some point, Qin An had let go of her hair and returned to the top of the stairs.
“You little slut, crawl up from down there, and I’ll let this go if you lied to me.”
Looking down at Lu Zhiyin, who was lying on the ground like a dead dog, Qin An contemptuously called her a name, and at the same time gave her a task that was difficult to complete.
This was simply to make things difficult for Lu Zhiyin.
“…Ah…”
Lu Zhiyin propped herself up with her arms, managing to lift her body slightly, and looked up at Qin An on the stairs.
Climbing up… was really asking too much.
How many steps were there? Twenty? Or thirty? Lu Zhiyin didn’t know.
She also didn’t know what she had done wrong to be treated like this. She just wanted to protect her property, so why was Qin An acting as if she had committed a terrible offense?
In the end, Lu Zhiyin attributed it all to that damn god.
She thought that if she had the chance, she would definitely get revenge on that guy.
Her confused mind wandered further off track until Qin An, at the top of the stairs, stomped her foot, bringing Lu Zhiyin back to reality.
Glancing again at the steps that seemed like a dangerous cliff to her, Lu Zhiyin finally resigned herself to fate.
She stretched out her arms with great effort, covering the steps with her palms, and then used all her strength to move forward slowly.
Like an extremely ugly caterpillar, although she couldn’t see her current pathetic state, Lu Zhiyin could imagine how embarrassed she must be.
This body was already frail, and coupled with the fact that Lu Zhiyin hadn’t rested well and was still sick, every step she climbed made her have to gasp for air for a while.
Various parts of her body bumped into things during this difficult climb, hurting more and more, and the climbing motion became increasingly difficult.
“Hoo… hoo…”
When she reached the middle of the stairs, Lu Zhiyin stopped. Her brain had completely turned into mush, and she could barely think.
Qin An was still waiting for Lu Zhiyin at the top of the stairs. It was actually class time long ago, but Qin An wasn’t worried. She didn’t fear being detained after school anyway. The teachers were already used to her and turned a blind eye to her.
She sat at the top of the stairs, leisurely watching the white-haired girl struggle to crawl up the stairs.
The holes in the girl’s school uniform were increasing, and in many places, bloodstains had already appeared.
Looking at the completely disheveled girl, Qin An felt no guilt. She was contemplating how to bully her next.
…
“Finally…”
After a long time, Lu Zhiyin finally reached the last step.
But as she reached out her hand to the step, a sharp pain shot through her, and physiological tears gushed out.
Lu Zhiyin dazedly looked up, only to see Qin An stepping on her hand and grinding it back and forth.
“…It hurts…”
The remaining consciousness in Lu Zhiyin’s brain made her weakly cry out in pain, which further stimulated Qin An’s desire for cruelty.
Lifting her foot and looking at Lu Zhiyin’s bloody hand, Qin An grabbed her wrist and pulled the girl up.
Then, she unhesitatingly pushed Lu Zhiyin down.
Her vision spun, and with a burst of intense pain, the world in front of Lu Zhiyin went dark. Her consciousness had already turned into mush, and now, she completely fainted.
