Chapter 724: You Hit Them?

She thought it was rather funny.
Later on, this matter was suppressed by everyone. The school, the Li family, and even the families of the student who had been beaten up kept quiet about this matter. Other than Lu Ning and these people, almost no one else knew about it.
The teacher witnessed Lu Ning being beaten up, but she was shocked that the entire class had injuries on their faces.
Some of the boys even had fractures.
At first, they were still yelling that Lu Ning had hit them, but later on, they stopped talking. Perhaps they felt embarrassed to have been beaten by a girl, or perhaps it was because of their family, but they stopped talking.
After that, this matter was left unsettled. No one dealt with Lu Ning, and no one else was dealt with. It was as if nothing had happened. Everyone had been injured for some inexplicable reason.
However, it was not ineffective. From then on, there were fewer and fewer rumors about Lu Ning. It seemed that no one paid attention to her for a while.
For a long time after that, she lived on in the nightmares of her classmates. Some of them even took leave and eventually transferred schools.
At that time, Lu Ning’s injuries were serious. She only returned to school after recuperating for two months.
The matter had been suppressed, but it was inevitable that the same graders would discuss it. Even if her classmates did not say anything, the neighboring classes had heard screams and the sounds of fighting. They had discussed it in private.
After Lu Ning returned, everything became much quieter. No one dared to provoke her, let alone talk to her. She continued to be isolated.
However, when they were in the hospital, the police took a photo of everyone. Lu Ning later obtained that photo; it was a classic.
Lu Ning fished the photo out on her phone, and presented it to Huo Jinyan.
Huo Jinyan looked at the boys and girls in the photo, standing in a row. Their faces were all bruised and swollen, and they were all injured to varying degrees. Some of their arms were even in slings, and none of them appeared fine.
Huo Jinyan turned to look at Lu Ning, a little shocked.
“You hit them?”
Lu Ning nodded.
Huo Jinyan looked at her with a complicated expression.
“And you?”
“I was in a hospital bed, still unconscious.”
Huo Jinyan turned off the phone screen and held her hands.
“Please don’t let yourself get hurt in the future. If you’re bullied, you can use other methods to fight back. Don’t let yourself get hurt again, okay?”
Lu Ning nodded. “Got it.”
At that time, she was not thinking about anything and did everything on instinct.
“Where were you hurt?”
For it to be so serious that she was knocked out and hospitalized, it must not be a small wound.
Lu Ning lowered her head and pointed at the top of her scalp.
Huo Jinyan leaned over and brushed her hair away. He saw a fingernail-sized scar on her scalp.
Huo Jinyan closed his eyes and tried his best to exhale.
Lu Ning looked up at him. “It’s all recovered now, don’t be like this. I was alone at that time, and you weren’t by my side.”
When she said this, she was surprised; however, she could not take back what she said.
She knew that Huo Jinyan’s heart was already aching, so she really could not say this.
His eyes reddened in an instant. “Yes, I wasn’t even by your side.”
There was helplessness in his voice.
Lu Ning quickly grabbed his hand. “You’re here now. I was still young at that time, even if you were there you wouldn’t be able to do anything. We didn’t even know each other. You said yourself not to worry about what had already
happened, so it’s fine. Please, don’t be like this anymore.”
Huo Jinyan sighed and held her hand, forcing a smile. “Mm..”
