Simple school uniform, white canvas shoes, short hair!
Isn’t this the girl who was helped at the entrance of the medical school this afternoon?
Zhang Xiaoshan, who was in the middle of pulling up his pants, paused in surprise.
"You, you, you... why are you here?"
He yelled towards the end of the alley.
At this moment, the short-haired girl could not look Zhang Xiaoshan in the eye and murmured with her head lowered, her voice as faint as a mosquito.
"You, first put on your pants. I, I’ll wait for you outside."
Having said that, the short-haired girl ducked her head and disappeared from Zhang Xiaoshan’s view.
Zhang Xiaoshan, holding up his pants, felt a bit embarrassed.
After he had put on his pants, he walked out of the alley.
The girl was standing under a street lamp.
Zhang Xiaoshan hadn’t taken a good look at the girl when he helped her this afternoon. Now, examining her under the dim streetlight, she looked strikingly pretty. No wonder Baldy Liu had gone to such lengths to scheme against her.
The short-haired girl, seeing Zhang Xiaoshan come out, took the initiative to walk up to him.
As she spoke, she thoughtfully lifted her little head and glanced in the direction of Sun Youyou’s apartment in the residential building.
Zhang Xiaoshan immediately understood.
"No, no, it’s not what you think, I..."
Zhang Xiaoshan knew the short-haired girl must have conjured an unsavory scenario in her mind. He hurriedly tried to explain, but before he could finish, the short-haired girl timidly interjected.
"It’s, it’s okay, I, I won’t tell anyone."
Zhang Xiaoshan knew that even jumping into the Yellow River wouldn’t cleanse him now. After all, who wouldn’t think the worst when you’re caught running out with your bare bottom? The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝•𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝘯𝘦𝘵
He didn’t dwell on this issue and instead asked,
"What are you doing here so late at night? Is it because Baldy Liu went to your place causing trouble, and you’re afraid to go home?"
The short-haired girl shook her little head vigorously when she heard Zhang Xiaoshan’s question.
"No, that’s not it, I, I am here waiting for you."
"Waiting for me? How did you know I was here?"
The short-haired girl did not hide it and honestly said,
"I, I, um... after you and Youyou left the medical school, I followed you and then, then just waited here."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaoshan was startled.
"Then you must have been here for five or six hours? Is there anything you need my help with, like money? I have some here, you can use it first."
Earlier this afternoon, Zhang Xiaoshan had overheard the conversation between Baldy Liu and the short-haired girl and knew that her father was disabled and their family was struggling financially.
He had brought several thousand cash for the exam, and since he still had over two hundred thousand in savings, money was not an issue for him, so he pulled it out from his pocket and offered it to the girl.
The girl looked at the cash Zhang Xiaoshan offered, her eyes instantly reddened. She quickly tilted her head back to keep the tears in her eyes and sincerely thanked Zhang Xiaoshan,
"No, I didn’t come to trouble you. I’m already very grateful for today. I, I want to repay you, but I know I’m not capable right now. I wanted to ask for a way to contact you, so I can return the favor in the future, but, but there were so many people at the school gate today, I, I didn’t dare to, so I followed you here. I thought I’d have to wait till tomorrow morning..."
The more she spoke, the quieter her voice became.
Clearly, she felt deeply inferior.
Zhang Xiaoshan saw a part of his past self in this girl.
"It’s okay, don’t be polite. Let’s add each other on WeChat then."
Hearing Zhang Xiaoshan’s words, the short-haired girl bowed her head even lower.
Uncontrollable tears still streamed down her face.
"I, I don’t have a phone..."
