40 – Discovered?
“Ugh…”
Even though it was already midnight when she finished her shower and went to bed, Suyun tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time.
Who wanted to harm her?
She had no grievances or hatred with anyone, having just turned into a girl for a week, and she didn’t even have an ID.
Was it really only because of the jealousy of her popularity?
But this wasn’t what Suyun wanted at all.
It was simply that others thought she was pretty, which made them vote for her or post on the white wall, and even her photos were taken and uploaded secretly; she had no desire for fame whatsoever.
If she could, Suyun just wanted to be like before—like a little transparent person—where no one cared about her, and no one talked to her.
University was just a small society, preparing for the real world. If even university was this way, Suyun didn’t dare to imagine how dark the real society could be.
She hoped the police would catch those people and bring justice for Mr. Zhang De-yi.
“…” Suyun lay on her side, feeling gloomy as she gazed out at the black-and-white sky, starting to reflect on life.
At that moment, the moon in the sky was obscured by dark fog, losing its glow.
Before long, Suyun felt a chill beside her and pulled on the quilt in front of her.
Her body was cold, the bedding was cold, and the whole room was cold.
Suyun curled up under the covers, chasing after a sliver of warmth.
“Mm…” The next moment, she recalled the scene where she had lost her temper at Qin Xue earlier.
Qin Xue shouldn’t be angry with her, right?
Actually, Suyun thought it wasn’t bad for Qin Xue to call her “baby”; as long as the other person was happy… mm…
Imagining the sweet voice of Qin Xue calling her “baby,” Suyun tightly clutched the cotton quilt in front of her, her heart racing much faster.
Forget it, maybe it was better if she didn’t call her that.
Unconsciously, the tension in Suyun’s mind faded, replaced by thoughts of wonderful things.
She rolled around in bed with the quilt, and before long, exhaustion took over, and she fell into a deep sleep.
……
……
“It’s my ignorance; you already belong to someone else…”
A beautiful week began with a wonderful piece of music.
Suyun crawled out of bed at 7 o’clock, and outside the window was a bright sky.
She felt like she had rested well and was in high spirits.
Today’s classes were the most packed of the week, full in the morning and afternoon, totaling 7 hours, making her feel like she was back in high school, “serving time.”
……
Not long after, Suyun cleverly concealed her emotions, with her right ear plugged with a Bluetooth headset, listening to music while taking the elevator down.
“Mm?!” When the elevator doors opened, someone was just waiting outside.
Suyun’s eyes widened, her mind instantly clearer.
At first, she was shocked, but it quickly turned into joy.
The girl from yesterday was still alive.
“Xiao Rou, maybe we should go back,” the girl was accompanied by a young man in a black suit, looking quite handsome, though his voice was a bit deep.
“Going back is useless, isn’t it?” The girl spoke in a very calm tone, her face showing no emotional fluctuations.
“…” The man didn’t say anything more, carefully supporting the girl as they walked into the elevator, brushing past Suyun.
In that fleeting moment, Suyun, curious, stole a glance at the girl.
To her surprise, the girl was staring right back at her.
Uh…
The girl’s pupils were deep black, giving off an intense, penetrating feeling.
This startled Suyun, making her quicken her pace out of the elevator.
Afterward, on her way to school, she reflected on what she had just seen.
The girl’s complexion was not as pale; it had regained some color, her eyes now open, looking much more delicate and pretty than when she was lying down yesterday.
That’s good.
Suyun didn’t speculate any further about the man’s identity next to the girl or consider asking questions since they were strangers.
The girl wouldn’t know that it was Suyun who had come to her room yesterday, nor would she know that it was Suyun who had taken off her clothes and pressed down on her desperately.
“Mm… why are there so many cars at the school gate today?”
Suyun reached the school gate, where nearby vehicles reflected the light, looking quite impressive.
……
Since she didn’t need to eat in the morning, Suyun arrived at the classroom by 7:30.
Class started at 8:10, and she was the first to get there.
With nothing to do, Suyun took out her books early and reviewed what she had learned over the past few days.
Around 7:40, a sharp screech filled the classroom as chair legs scraped against the floor, and Suyun looked up.
The second person in the class had arrived.
It was Chen Tingting.
Suyun initially didn’t care, planning to just glance and continue reading, but the moment she saw Chen Tingting, she caught sight of the corners of her eyes reddened.
Her eyelids were swollen, her pupils bloodshot.
What happened? Did this ‘class flower’ suffer some blow and cry all night?
Suyun made a quick guess and then sighed in relief in her heart.
She had been messing with others, and now it seemed she got what she deserved.
Suyun didn’t dwell on it, looking down again to read, waiting until half an hour later when the classroom filled with people.
Liu Fei sat right in front of her, elaborately recounting what had happened yesterday afternoon, his face filled with indignation.
As they exchanged words, others nearby leaned in to listen intently.
This incident was now known throughout the almost entire school; news spread quickly in the school.
As for whether it would leak, the answer should be no.
However, dorm doors would likely be monitored more closely now.
Listening to his words, Suyun felt a bit more somber.
Once two classes were over, she quickly grabbed her phone and headed to the hospital to visit Mr. Zhang De-yi.
On the way, Suyun bought some mangoes because she remembered seeing Zhang De-yi eat mangoes often during her time in the dorm; he probably liked them.
The location was at the Third Hospital close to the school, reachable by bus in about ten minutes.
While Suyun was waiting for the bus at the station, someone had been following her from behind.
“?”
Qin Xue’s beautiful eyebrows were tightly knitted, feeling a bit displeased.
Alright, Xiao Yun, you tricked me again; you promised to go home and rest.
“Xiao Xuan, keep an eye on her. Follow her onto whatever bus she takes.”
“Got it, Miss.”
Qin Xue strode into the bus, her long, slender legs crossed elegantly on the seat, and her gaze remained fixed on Xiao Yun, who was nearby carrying a bag of fruit.
In fact, Qin Xue had noticed from day one that Xiao Yun seemed to be hiding something from her.
Today she was lucky to catch her.
……
(Qin Xue: Xiao Yun, are you home now? Can you chat with me?)
(I: I’m a bit tired; I want to sleep.)
On the bus, Suyun replied to the messages on her phone.
There was no way; if she let the other person follow her, her ‘male’ identity would definitely be exposed.
(Qin Xue: Alright, good afternoon~)
On her phone, Qin Xue didn’t continue to bother her and quickly compromised.
This surprised Suyun a bit, but she soon breathed a sigh of relief.
After getting off the bus, she began searching for the room location Liu Fei had mentioned, asking several nurses along the way.
For some reason, Suyun felt an inexplicable anxiety, as if something bad was about to happen.
When Suyun finally found Zhang De-yi’s hospital room and placed the fruit aside.
“Brother Yun, stop hiding.”
“Why have you been keeping this from me?” After expressing his gratitude, Zhang De-yi switched to an accusatory tone.
As if Suyun had deceived him about something very important.
“Huh? What have I hidden?” Upon hearing this, Suyun nearly couldn’t suppress her voice. She didn’t dare look at Zhang De-yi and turned her head to gaze out the window.
Suyun’s heart was racing unusually fast.
How did Zhang De-yi know she was the white-haired girl? When did he find out…
After all, it must hurt and anger him to be hurt because of someone like her, right?
