Chapter 14 Chapter 14 No matter what I do, nothing will change? ...

Stuck on the deadline, Pei Shuyu finished painting the last class he had promised, and after holding the paintbrush for over a week, he could finally take a break.

After packing up his things, Pei Shuyu returned to his class amidst the voices of thanks and praise. He lay listlessly on the table, looking as if someone had drained all his energy.

Hua Yu, who was practicing sketching the folds of a person's clothing, was frightened by her appearance and poked her forearm with the tip of her pen: "What's going on? What happened in Class 5?"

Pei Shuyu waved her hands and took out her sketchbook with a bitter face: "I'm so tired."

She was so tired that her hands were cramping, but she hadn't finished her sketching assignment for the week, so she couldn't stop yet, otherwise the sketching teacher would call her out for a private talk during class.

Just like last week.

The sketching teacher in Studio No. 5 is similar to the cultural subject teacher. After every monthly art exam or when students encounter unfinished homework, he will pull them out of the classroom and give them a long lecture.

It seems that this can awaken students' motivation to learn.

But in fact, it only works for a few minutes, and most students don't take it seriously.

Hua Yu shook his head slightly: "Poor child."

Pei Shuyu picked up the brush with a wry smile, but before he had drawn two strokes, someone hit his back with the brush twice.

When she turned around, the person sitting behind her pointed at the person at the back door of the classroom and whispered, "Ji Yan is looking for you."

The last self-study session is not taught by a teacher. Usually, the head teacher will sit on the podium to accompany the students.

But the class teacher had something to do tonight, so she gave the task of managing the class to the class monitor.

Pei Shuyu looked in the direction pointed by the person at the back table, and due to the difference in light brightness, she could clearly see a tall shadow crossing the back door.

Ji Yan stood there quietly. Perhaps because she was afraid that Pei Shuyu would not be able to speak, she leaned towards the classroom door, revealing half of her body.

From Pei Shuyu's position, he could just see it.

With his back bent, Pei Shuyu tiptoed out of the classroom, his thief-like movements making people around him laugh.

Zhang Yi whispered, "You might as well kneel on the ground and crawl out."

Wang Xue leaned out half of her body: "A distance of a few meters makes you look like you have walked hundreds of meters."

"When the school holds a jogging event, I will recommend Pei Shuyu first."

“…”

Pei Shuyu put her finger to her lips, signaling the people around her to keep quiet.

However, it was too late. The small commotion here attracted the attention of the entire class. The boy sitting in the middle row of the three groups slammed his hands on the table a few times and said in a stern tone: "Can you be quiet? You really treat the classroom as your home, coming in and out as you please."

Then came the standard tone of finding fault: "If you don't learn, others will."

Pei Shuyu straightened her bent back. If she remembered correctly, the person who just spoke was Zhu Qi's boyfriend Qin Ben. Last time, Zhu Qi splashed her painting, she retaliated in the same way.

Unexpectedly, two or three weeks later, there were still people deliberately picking on her.

Pei Shuyu was too lazy to waste time on such a person and walked out of the classroom directly.

There was a crash in the classroom.

Ji Yan had obviously heard the voices in the classroom. Her cold face was expressionless in the dim light. She handed a bottle of Coke to Pei Shuyu and asked, "Will it affect you?"

Pei Shuyu said indifferently: "Who cares? But why are you looking for me at this time?"

Usually, Ji Yan would look for her during get out of class breaks, a time that was somewhat inconsistent with her image as a good student.

Ji Yan curled her lips and whispered, "I'm in a bad mood."

Pei Shuyu's expression tightened: "What happened?"

Ji Yan nodded, then shook her head.

Pei Shuyu's mood dropped. A name popped up in her mind. She gritted her teeth and asked, "Is it related to Ji Yao's family?"

This is not a good place to talk, so Ji Yan pulled Pei Shuyu to the playground.

The playground was empty at this time. Under the moonlight and street lights, the road surface and the plastic track could be vaguely seen.

Ji Yan sat on the lawn, hugging her knees. Her long hair fell over one shoulder, barely covering half of her face. She stared into Pei Shuyu's concerned eyes and suddenly laughed, "Actually, I don't seem to be in such a bad mood."

Pei Shuyu was confused by her changing mood and blurted out concerned words: "Did someone bully you?"

Ji Yan said calmly, "Not really. After Ji An found out the house was for rent, he sent me a lot of messages, saying I was heartless and made the decision without even consulting him."

There were many insults calling her an ungrateful person, but Ji Yan turned a blind eye and pretended not to see them.

But tonight, she was in such a bad mood that she just wanted to see Pei Shuyu, so she followed her heart and made an excuse to leave class.

Pei Shuyu was shocked by Ji An's shamelessness.

When Ji Yan's parents passed away, the money they left behind was kept safely by Grandma Ji. Before her death, Grandma Ji made a will and entrusted a special lawyer and bank institution to give Ji Yan a sum of money every month as living expenses. The rest could only be withdrawn after Ji Yan came of age.

This is to prevent Ji Yan from being snatched away by Ji An's family because she is too young.

Unable to get the money, he set his sights on the house, but found that he couldn't get the house either. Ji An became angry and forced Ji Yan to take the house back.

Pei Shuyu spat, "How shameless."

Ji Yan curled her lips: "A little bit."

Pei Shuyu opened her eyes wide: "Not just a little! It's very, very!"

Ji Yan laughed out loud: "Well, you are right."

Pei Shuyu crouched beside Ji Yan, her hands folded and stretched forward, making people laugh. "Delete him. He won't dare to come to school, let alone come to my house to make trouble."

It's funny that such people still care about face.

Ji An did not go directly to the tenant to make trouble, probably because he found out that the middleman was Ruan Zhuangjing, and he did not have the courage to jump in front of Ruan Zhuangjing.

Ji Yan smiled: "No, I don't want to delete it. I just want to see his anxious, helpless and furious look."

Pei Shuyu disagreed, but did not refute: "Then block him. If you don't see his messages, you won't be affected by him."

Ji Yan: "It's already blocked."

She slowly let out a breath, tilted her head to meet Pei Shuyu's gaze, paused for a moment, and gently leaned on the girl's shoulder.

Pei Shuyu put his arm around her shoulders soothingly: "Are you feeling better?"

Ji Yan said softly, "Better now."

She felt much better after they met, but she couldn't help but show her vulnerable side in front of Pei Shuyu.

Feeling the warmth of the person next to her through the thin fabric, Ji Yan raised her hand and took Pei Shuyu's hand, allowing him to hug her tighter.

She suddenly asked, "Pei Shuyu, you said before that you would always be by my side. Is that true?"

Pei Shuyu was stunned for a moment, then said affirmatively, "Of course it's true."

Ji Yan lowered her eyes: "No matter what I do, it won't change?"

Pei Shuyu: "Yeah."
