Bai Youwei’s gaze slowly shifted to Chen Hui’s face.
“Yesterday?” she asked in confusion, “What happened yesterday?”
Chen Hui’s face turned red, and she blurted out, “Yesterday, Liao JingJing said I like your brother. Don’t believe it, she was just spouting nonsense.”
Bai Youwei calmly looked at Chen Hui.
Feeling somewhat embarrassed under Bai Youwei’s gaze, Chen Hui was about to say something when Bai Youwei calmly voiced an “Oh,” and then she shifted her gaze away, no longer looking at her.
Chen Hui sighed with relief.
Soon after, she felt a mix of emotions. She had lost a whole night’s sleep over this matter, only for Bai Youwei to have such a nonchalant reaction.
Forget it, forget it. As long as it didn’t cause any misunderstandings, it’s good enough.
As she was about to turn and leave, she heard Bai Youwei slowly ask: “Why don’t you like him? Isn’t he good?”
Chen Hui’s eyes widened, “He’s so much older than me!”
She was only fifteen, whereas Shen MO seemed to be in his mid-twenties! “Oh, so you like younger ones….” Bai Youwei asked, “Like Tan Xiao? He just turned 20.”
“Why do I have to like them?!” Chen Hui felt like Bai Youwei was making fun of her and her irritation rose, “At this point, I won’t consider any emotional issues! I just want to focus on my studies, so in the future…..”
She stopped mid-sentence, her expression freezing.
…focus on my studies, so in the future, I can attend a good university. But now, even her school was gone. Was there any meaning in her dreams?
She didn’t want to chat with Bai Youwei about this. Dejected, she turned to leave, only for Bai Youwei to stop her again, “Hey, do me a favor.”
Chen Hui turned back to look at her suspiciously.
Bai Youwei raised her chin, signifying her to look the other way, “That student over there, do you know him? Call him over.”
Chen Hui was confused, “Why should I call him over?”
Bai Youwei answered, “For food.’
She looked at Bai Youwei, bewildered, and then called out in the directed way,
“Lin Zihang, come here!”
He wasn’t too far away, but for some reason, the male student sat there blankly among a group of students, as if he had just woken up, showing no reaction.
Chen Hui frowned and called out a couple more times, “Lin Zihang!… Lin
The students next to him heard her, nudged him and said, “Hey, Lin Zihang, Chen Hui is calling you.”
Only then did Lin Zihang respond.
However, his response was just ever so slight.
He slowly lifted his head to search for Chen Hui’s figure in the crowd. Once she waved at him energetically, he finally saw her.
He lumbered his way towards her….
“Lin Zihang is acting really weird today.” Chen Hui was worried, “Isn’t he sick?
There’s no doctor here. I hope he isn’t ill.”
Bai Youwei watched the student get closer and asked in her usual calm manner, “Do you like him?”
Chen Hui was thoroughly annoyed, frowning at her, “Why do you have to chat !”
“Good if you don’t.” Bai Youwei’s expression was still calm, “He looks out of sorts. Just give him your bowl of noodles.”
Bai Youwei’s words made Chen Hui uncomfortable. However, Lin Zihang indeed didn’t seem well. She handed the bowl of noodles to him and said, “Why do you look so down? Here, have some noodles cooked by Mr. Cheng. Hold it by the bottom so it doesn’t burn your hand…”
Before she could finish, she felt Bai Youwei tugged at her clothes.
Caught off guard, the bowl of noodles in her hand tipped over, spilling soup and noodles all over Lin Zihang!
“What are you doing?!” Astonished, Chen Hui saw Lin Zihang’s blue and white uniform stained with large patches of tomato soup. Panicked, she wanted to help wipe it off but saw Lin Zihang standing there unresponsive.
Didn’t he feel the hot soup?
Her gaze instinctively darted to Bai Youwei, only to see Bai Youwei reach out, pick up a crutch nearby, raise it and poke it forward… She didn’t use much force, yet Lin Zihang toppled over!
