Chapter 101: Xie Ping
After the farce in the cafeteria, Leng Qing Qiu pushed Lu Zhi Yin’s wheelchair back to the classroom.
Along the way, Lu Zhi Yin kept her head down. Having said such humiliating things in front of so many people, it was natural for her to be like this, and Leng Qing Qiu didn’t find it strange.
Even after the first class of the afternoon ended, Lu Zhi Yin was still in this dazed state, and Leng Qing Qiu finally began to feel anxious.
Did she, perhaps, go too far?
“…”
Silently, Leng Qing Qiu patted Lu Zhi Yin’s shoulder.
“Hey.”
Her tone wasn’t very good. After all, the reason she did such an excessive thing to Lu Zhi Yin was because Lu Zhi Yin had gone behind her back to find someone she disliked.
“…What is it?”
The touch on her shoulder brought Lu Zhi Yin back from her shame.
Lost in her own world for who knows how long, she realized she had already arrived at the classroom.
Her eyes still felt a little sore; she couldn’t remember how long she had been crying.
“…”
Looking at the haggard white-haired girl in front of her, Leng Qing Qiu was momentarily speechless. The girl’s appearance didn’t seem like she was deliberately ignoring her.
The words of责备 that had already reached her lips were swallowed back.
“…It’s nothing.”
Shaking her head, Leng Qing Qiu leaned on her desk.
With only one more class until school was out, the students in the classroom were mostly restless, discussing in twos and threes where they would go after school.
“Mm.”
With a distracted “mm,” Lu Zhi Yin scanned the classroom.
Many of the people who had watched Lu Zhi Yin’s foolish remarks in the cafeteria were in her class. When her gaze met theirs, they would always cast contemptuous glances at her.
Lu Zhi Yin naturally felt bad, but there was nothing she could say, was there?
Glancing at Leng Qing Qiu out of the corner of her eye, Lu Zhi Yin’s disgust for this person grew.
“Huuu…”
Taking a deep breath, Lu Zhi Yin temporarily put aside her grievances with Leng Qing Qiu and looked in front of her, at Long Qin Xin’s seat.
What greeted her was an empty seat. Her schoolbag was placed below the desk, and her textbooks were neatly stacked on the surface.
She herself had disappeared, and she didn’t know where she had gone.
An inexplicable sense of panic welled up. Lu Zhi Yin forced down the discomfort in her heart and nudged Leng Qing Qiu’s shoulder.
“Is something wrong?”
Leng Qing Qiu’s response was quick. As soon as Lu Zhi Yin’s fingers touched her, she immediately turned her head, as if she had been waiting for a long time.
“Do you know where Long Qin Xin went?”
Unfortunately, as soon as Lu Zhi Yin’s question was out, Leng Qing Qiu’s face fell.
“I don’t know. She didn’t come back at noon today. I guess she skipped class.”
Shaking her head, Leng Qing Qiu turned her head back again, ignoring Lu Zhi Yin.
“…”
Lu Zhi Yin wanted to ask more, but seeing Leng Qing Qiu’s back, she thought this person probably wouldn’t answer her question anymore, so she simply kept quiet.
While feeling worried about Long Qin Xin, she was also troubled by the fact that she had to follow Qin An after school.
Assailed by various emotions, Lu Zhi Yin drifted through the break.
As the class bell rang, she faced the last class of the day.
Still lacking energy, Lu Zhi Yin simply lay down on her desk and slept through the class.
The teacher had also heard about the absurd things Lu Zhi Yin had said in the cafeteria at noon from the students. He already didn’t think much of Lu Zhi Yin, and now he didn’t even want to bother with her, letting her sleep.
Time ticked by, and soon the dismissal bell rang. The teacher left the classroom without delay, carrying his textbooks.
Lu Zhi Yin slowly woke up with the sound of the dismissal bell.
“…Yawn…”
Yawning, she rubbed her eyes.
Leng Qing Qiu beside her had already started packing her things like a normal student. Soon, she put everything she needed to take home into her schoolbag and then put the bag on her back. Lu Zhi Yin didn’t have much to pack. She just rubbed her sleepy eyes and watched Leng Qing Qiu pack.
When Leng Qing Qiu had finished packing everything, most of the students were still in the classroom.
It seemed she remembered her promise with Lu Zhi Yin and was moving quickly.
“Let’s go find that person named Xie Ping.”
Pushing Lu Zhi Yin’s wheelchair with some listlessness, Leng Qing Qiu pushed her childhood friend to the corridor outside the classroom.
“Do you know that person?”
Stopping the wheelchair at the entrance to the stairs, Leng Qing Qiu leaned on the railing.
“Yes, I’ve seen that person. All we need to do now is wait here for her to come out of her classroom. I’ll point out Xie Ping, and you can go intercept her.”
“No problem.”
After a brief exchange, the two fell silent again.
A few minutes later, most of the students had packed up and were starting to come out of the classroom one by one.
The once quiet corridor suddenly became empty.
Lu Zhi Yin forced herself to concentrate, her gaze roaming through the crowd, searching for her target.
After all, she was a Taimei, and she was very conspicuous in the crowd.
Short, dyed hair, purple eyeshadow around her eyes, a white shirt, with her school uniform jacket tied around her waist, exuding a tough aura.
She carried a single-shoulder bag, weaving through the dense crowd as if she was in a hurry.
“That’s her.”
Pointing in Xie Ping’s direction, Leng Qing Qiu walked directly towards Xie Ping without hesitation.
She blocked Xie Ping’s path. Wherever Xie Ping went, Leng Qing Qiu followed, blocking her. After a few instances of back-and-forth pulling, Xie Ping finally stopped.
“Are you crazy? Why are you always blocking me?”
Glaring fiercely at Leng Qing Qiu, Xie Ping tried to push her away, but Leng Qing Qiu grabbed her wrist.
“It’s nothing, just a friend wants to ask you a few questions.”
Holding Xie Ping’s wrist, Leng Qing Qiu stood still.
As time went by, fewer and fewer people were in the corridor, and Xie Ping became increasingly agitated.
Fortunately, Leng Qing Qiu was strong enough to still easily hold Xie Ping.
Only after everyone had left the corridor did Lu Zhi Yin maneuver the wheelchair to stand in front of Xie Ping and Leng Qing Qiu.
“Ah, it’s you, the pervert who likes to get beaten up.”
Looking at Xie Ping, Xie Ping exclaimed in surprise.
As the saying goes, good deeds don’t go beyond the threshold, but bad deeds travel a thousand miles, and the facts indeed prove this.
In just one afternoon, Lu Zhi Yin’s reputation as a pervert was already known throughout the school.
Xie Ping remembered the last time she saw Lu Zhi Yin. At that time, she was extorting protection fees from Long Qin Xin, and this pervert had stepped forward to defend her.
Thinking back now, perhaps she had actively put herself forward to be beaten up at that time.
With a malicious smile, Xie Ping looked at Lu Zhi Yin, her gaze filled with undisguised contempt.
“…Huuu…”
Angered by Xie Ping’s behavior, Lu Zhi Yin’s head felt a little dizzy. She took deep breaths, trying to calm herself down. After a long while, she finally calmed down.
