Chapter 12: Untitled
“Sob…!”
Falling to the ground, Lu Zhiyin let out a sob of pain.
Leng Qing Qiu took the opportunity to cover Lu Zhiyin’s mouth, shoving two fingers into it.
The delicate oral mucosa was scraped by fingernails, which didn’t hurt much, but it felt disgusting and uncomfortable.
Lu Zhiyin felt like throwing up, but she clearly couldn’t.
She was just having her head held down by Leng Qing Qiu, sobbing uncontrollably.
In front of her, Long Qinxin still had her head down, her fists clenched tighter and tighter. Looking at Lu Zhiyin on the ground, she felt helpless.
What should she do? Should she continue to argue with Leng Qing Qiu? Would Lu Zhiyin be hurt more because of her actions?
Long Qinxin could see that Leng Qing Qiu didn’t care about Lu Zhiyin’s life or death at all, but she herself had to care…
After a moment of stalemate, the end-of-class bell rang, and as students got up to leave, Long Qinxin finally let go.
At this time, her palm was already covered in many scratch marks.
She didn’t say anything, no longer arguing with Long Qinxin. Instead, she lowered her head, turned around, and left the classroom.
She was unwilling to admit defeat, and unwilling to let her own glory suffer because of her.
After leaving the classroom, Long Qinxin raised her head.
She would not forget the humiliation of today.
“…Leng Qing Qiu…”
She softly uttered Leng Qing Qiu’s name.
Could spending money cause Leng Qing Qiu some trouble? Perhaps.
Long Qinxin didn’t think Leng Qing Qiu was richer than her.
As long as money was spent, both school teachers and students could target Leng Qing Qiu, right?
This was the first time Long Qinxin had considered using money to target someone. In the past, even when she was bullied the most, she had never thought of retaliating.
Bullying her was fine, but bullying her friends was not…
Closing her eyes slightly, Long Qinxin quickened her pace towards the cafeteria.
In the classroom, after Long Qinxin left, Leng Qing Qiu finally let Lu Zhiyin go.
She withdrew her hand from Lu Zhiyin’s mouth and wiped her saliva-covered fingers on Lu Zhiyin’s school uniform.
“Cough… Hah… Hah…”
On the ground, Lu Zhiyin’s body felt weak. She coughed and panted.
Touching her neck, the fear in her heart had not completely subsided.
“…”
Leng Qing Qiu said nothing. She crouched down, held Lu Zhiyin’s jaw, and carefully observed the girl in front of her.
The girl’s cheeks were flushed, and tears still hung in the corners of her eyes. She was truly a sight to behold, evoking tenderness.
Her gaze shifted down, falling on the glistening thin lips.
After a slight hesitation, Leng Qing Qiu cupped Lu Zhiyin’s face and kissed her lips.
“Mmm~”
Unable to quite understand Leng Qing Qiu’s actions, Lu Zhiyin let out a muffled sound. Her hands were first flustered, and then obediently held Leng Qing Qiu.
The kiss did not last long, about a minute. Leng Qing Qiu released Lu Zhiyin, who was struggling to breathe.
“Don’t look for Long Qinxin anymore.”
Issuing the command, Leng Qing Qiu picked up Lu Zhiyin, who had collapsed on the ground, and placed her back into the wheelchair.
Back in her regularly used wheelchair, Lu Zhiyin finally felt a little more at ease. She leaned on the desk, feeling a bit down.
Temporarily ignoring Leng Qing Qiu’s words, she touched her lips.
Kissing Leng Qing Qiu while she was conscious felt strange. Was it disgust? It should be disgust.
There was also some other emotion mixed with the disgust.
Kissing someone didn’t seem so bad? If only the person kissing her wasn’t Leng Qing Qiu…
“I’m talking to you.”
Leng Qing Qiu, beside her, was displeased at being ignored and patted Lu Zhiyin’s shoulder.
“…Ah!”
Like a young beast awakened from deep sleep, Lu Zhiyin sat up abruptly, letting out a startled cry.
Her voice was soft and somewhat pleasant.
Sitting up, it took Lu Zhiyin a while to remember what Leng Qing Qiu had said.
This time, she did not obey Leng Qing Qiu unconditionally.
“Why…”
She turned her head and asked softly.
Leng Qing Qiu frowned again. She had been frowning a lot lately.
“There’s no ‘why’. You’re my girlfriend now, so you have to listen to me.”
Rather domineeringly refusing to answer Lu Zhiyin’s question, Leng Qing Qiu squeezed Lu Zhiyin’s face.
Actually, it was because she was afraid Lu Zhiyin would be snatched away by Long Qinxin, but she was too embarrassed to voice this ridiculous reason, as it would make her seem like she cared too much about Lu Zhiyin.
Should she care so much about a toy? Leng Qing Qiu didn’t know.
“…I’m sorry, I can’t do this.”
Lu Zhiyin felt she couldn’t agree to Leng Qing Qiu’s excessive request. In other aspects, she could let Leng Qing Qiu do as she pleased, but not when it came to her going home.
“…”
Leng Qing Qiu fell silent, a hint of anger in her expression.
But she didn’t want to argue with Lu Zhiyin for now.
She remembered that Lu Zhiyin and Long Qinxin had agreed to meet in the park behind the school that afternoon, and she planned to forcibly take Lu Zhiyin away after school.
“Let’s not talk about this for now. Let’s eat.”
“Mmm…”
Seeing that Leng Qing Qiu didn’t want to press the issue, Lu Zhiyin breathed a sigh of relief. She fiddled with the wheels of her wheelchair, about to move from her seat, but Leng Qing Qiu stopped her by reaching out.
Lu Zhiyin felt perplexed.
“Didn’t you say let’s eat? Aren’t we going to the cafeteria?”
Lu Zhiyin was confused.
“What are we going to the cafeteria for? Don’t you have food?”
Shaking her head, Leng Qing Qiu looked at Lu Zhiyin with a half-smile.
“…Gulp…”
Swallowing, Lu Zhiyin shrank back. Leng Qing Qiu’s gaze was as if she wanted to devour her alive, and she really couldn’t stand such an aggressive gaze.
“Tsk…”
Looking at the timid, white-haired girl, Leng Qing Qiu shook her head. She reached out and took the lunchbox that Long Qinxin had given Lu Zhiyin that morning from Lu Zhiyin’s desk.
Opening the lunchbox, she revealed carefully prepared food and a pair of chopsticks.
“Here, don’t you have food?”
“…Let’s still go to the cafeteria. My treat?”
After a short silence, Lu Zhiyin understood that Leng Qing Qiu and Long Qinxin were mortal enemies. It would be too much to give Leng Qing Qiu the food that Long Qinxin had given her.
She didn’t want to do that.
Unfortunately, what Leng Qing Qiu decided would not be changed by her.
Picking up the chopsticks, Leng Qing Qiu picked up a piece of chicken breast that was still warm and put it into her mouth. Then, she forcefully fed Lu Zhiyin a mouthful of vegetables.
She didn’t actually know what the meaning of doing these things was, but she just wanted to do them.
Perhaps she wanted to prove that she was more important than Long Qinxin?
Taking out the milk that Long Qinxin had given her from Lu Zhiyin’s desk again, Leng Qing Qiu inserted a straw and drank it herself.
Outside the classroom, Long Qinxin, who had returned, watched this scene. For some reason, she felt a strange discomfort.
“It’s okay… she’s just being forced…”
Touching her chest, Long Qinxin comforted herself.
She thought she might need to buy a knife.
