Chapter 26: Can’t Avoid It
Slowly returning to the classroom, after being in this world for a while, she gradually got used to controlling the wheelchair, turning corners, and other movements became much more flexible.
However, no matter what, she still missed the days when her legs were healthy more.
There were many more students in the classroom now, and it was starting to get noisy.
As soon as she returned to her seat, Leng Qing Qiu, who was next to her, patted Lu Zhiyin’s shoulder.
This made Lu Zhiyin, who was still immersed in what had just happened, tremble. She was startled.
“Hmm…? Ah… What’s wrong?”
Turning her head, Lu Zhiyin calmed down upon seeing Leng Qing Qiu.
“Zhiyin, did something happen again? You seem to have a strange expression.”
Looking at Lu Zhiyin’s face, Leng Qing Qiu asked softly.
These words made Lu Zhiyin a little confused. Did her expression look strange? She didn’t feel anything at all…
However, although a little confused, Lu Zhiyin still prepared to answer Leng Qing Qiu’s question truthfully.
“It’s nothing, I just met a classmate who was being bullied, and I scared away the Taimei who was bullying her.”
Lowering her head, she weakly answered Leng Qing Qiu’s question.
She opened her school bag and started taking out stationery.
“Mhmm.”
Beside her, Leng Qing Qiu simply gave a soft hum. She held her chin, looking thoughtful.
For some reason, she didn’t want her childhood friend to get too close to others, perhaps because she was afraid Lu Zhiyin would reveal that she had killed someone.
Although they had become accomplices in name, Leng Qing Qiu still couldn’t completely relax around her.
“…”
Looking at the blackboard in the distance, Leng Qing Qiu was silent, pondering something in her heart.
The dumbfounded Lu Zhiyin naturally couldn’t see Leng Qing Qiu’s troubles.
She didn’t know what the next class was, and she didn’t really want to bother Leng Qing Qiu, so she could only take out all the textbooks from her school bag and neatly place them in her desk.
After finishing this, the white-haired girl raised her head and looked out the window.
Long Qinxin, holding her bag, was quietly watching her.
Putting her school bag aside, Long Qinxin beckoned Lu Zhiyin.
Did this mean she wanted her to go out?
“Um, I’m going out for a bit.”
Looking at Leng Qing Qiu beside her, Lu Zhiyin informed her, then carefully maneuvered her wheelchair away from her seat.
“…”
Watching Lu Zhiyin’s retreating back without a word, Leng Qing Qiu became even more troubled. After all, her childhood friend was a person, not an object, and she couldn’t restrict Lu Zhiyin’s freedom.
Thinking of this, Leng Qing Qiu even lost the mood to read. She stood up, her footsteps very light, and followed Lu Zhiyin.
“Classmate, is there anything else?”
Lu Zhiyin looked at Long Qinxin in front of her as she exited the door.
The bullying she had just experienced had had limited impact on her. Standing in front of Lu Zhiyin, Long Qinxin was perfectly fine, except for some dirt on her school uniform.
Perhaps it was because she was already accustomed to being bullied.
“Classmate Lu Zhiyin.”
Long Qinxin did not reply to Lu Zhiyin’s question. She just took two more steps towards Lu Zhiyin, then patted her pocket and took out a bandage with a bear pattern on it.
Tearing open the bandage packaging, Long Qinxin pushed aside Lu Zhiyin’s white hair and placed the bandage on the wound on her forehead.
“Thank you so much for what happened just now.”
With another sincere thank you, Long Qinxin left, quickly returning to her bedroom, leaving the still confused Lu Zhiyin standing there stunned.
After a few seconds, Lu Zhiyin came back to her senses. She touched the bandage on her forehead, which felt much better than touching the wound.
After what happened this morning, were she and Long Qinxin friends now? Lu Zhiyin didn’t know.
She also didn’t know how much favorability she had gained with Long Qinxin from this morning’s event.
If only the female leads’ favorability could be checked at any time, rather than relying on the mirror at home.
Shaking her head, Lu Zhiyin prepared to return to the classroom. Just then, she saw Qin An at the entrance of the stairs, and the Taimei she had just scared away.
She remembered her own rule: to avoid Qin An.
She did as she thought, and before Qin An noticed her, she returned to the classroom at the fastest speed she could manage.
If the classroom wasn’t already crowded, Lu Zhiyin would have wanted to close the classroom door.
Looking towards her seat, Leng Qing Qiu was still looking at her textbook.
Lu Zhiyin thought, she’s really serious.
Preparing to return to her seat, however, before she could move forward, a hand grabbed her hair from behind and yanked it hard.
“Hiss…”
The intense pain made Lu Zhiyin gasp. This rough action reminded her of someone she found very unpleasant.
Qin An.
She came back to her senses, and indeed, what greeted her eyes was this blonde-haired scoundrel.
The classroom was no place to hide.
“…”
Without a word, Qin An pulled Lu Zhiyin’s long hair and dragged her towards the classroom exit.
“…Mmmph…”
Lu Zhiyin instinctively wanted to call for help, but Qin An covered her mouth, only allowing her to make meaningless sounds.
Fingers were thrust into her mouth, and the sensation of a foreign object invading her mouth made Lu Zhiyin very uncomfortable.
In despair, she cast a hopeful glance at Leng Qing Qiu, who was at her seat. Leng Qing Qiu also looked at her.
But Leng Qing Qiu made no other movement, just glanced at her, then continued to read her textbook.
“…”
Lu Zhiyin felt an indescribable discomfort. She thought, she shouldn’t feel uncomfortable, after all, Leng Qing Qiu had said before that she didn’t dare to provoke Qin An.
Actually, Lu Zhiyin thought these words were the biggest lie, since Leng Qing Qiu dared to kill people, how could she be afraid of a school bully?
In the end, it was just that she didn’t hold much importance in Leng Qing Qiu’s heart.
Dazed, she was dragged out of the classroom. Just like the previous times, Qin An dragged Lu Zhiyin out of her wheelchair and onto the ground.
Lying on the ground in a disheveled state, Lu Zhiyin pursed her lips.
If this body were healthy, she wouldn’t have to endure such humiliation.
Lifting her head, she looked at Qin An, whose eyes held a hint of mockery. Lu Zhiyin clenched her fists, but outwardly, she meekly surrendered.
“I, I have no money on me, and I don’t want my phone either… Please don’t… mmph…”
Before she could finish speaking, Qin An kicked her hard in the side.
This kind of bullying without reason…
Her body curled up from the intense pain, her muscles tensed, and Lu Zhiyin frowned.
“Tsk tsk, weren’t you quite capable just now? Why are you so pathetic now?”
A familiar voice came. It was the Taimei who had bullied Long Qinxin in the restroom earlier.
Walking slowly in front of Lu Zhiyin, looking down at her, the Taimei crossed her arms, looking down on Lu Zhiyin.
“The things you were supposed to get from Long Qinxin were to be given to the big sister, but you, this cripple, messed it up. Tell me, how will you compensate?”
As she said this, the Taimei looked towards Qin An.
So Qin An was their big sister? They really were birds of a feather…
Thinking this, Lu Zhiyin gently bit her lower lip.
