Chapter 28 Why are you so good to me?

“I suddenly realized that Yu Qing isn’t so bad after all,” Lin Yueyue suddenly blurted out.

Wang Meili was taken aback and asked in surprise, "Yueyue, why are you suddenly speaking up for Yu Qing? Don't you usually hate him the most?"

Lin Yueyue brushed the hair that was blocking her eyes behind her ear: "Although his behavior was indeed annoying in the past, I now find that he still has some redeeming qualities."

"for example?"

"For example, just now everyone was watching the commotion, but he was the only one who stood up to speak up for Lu Chi. And when other classes bully our classmates, he is always the first to stand up for our classmates. Although I don't like him, I admit that he can be quite manly at times."

"Right? I told you he could be quite handsome sometimes!" Wang Meili said excitedly.

"I'd say yes, but he's pretty childish most of the time." Lin Yueyue pouted, then, seeing Wang Meili's excited expression, asked suspiciously, "You don't like him, do you?"

Wang Meili suddenly put on a stern face: "Lin Yueyue, please watch your words. I am a loyal person. How could I fall in love with a human scum? My husband will always be Ye Ying."

"Please, that's a two-dimensional character." Lin Yueyue was speechless.

"What's wrong with anime/manga? No cheating, no broken relationships, no need to pay for it, and most importantly, they're handsome. Isn't that great?" Wang Meili hummed twice.

Lin Yueyue rolled her eyes and shook her head helplessly.

Her best friend must be out of her mind!

"But then again, Yu Qing has changed a lot lately, it's like she's a completely different person," Wang Meili suddenly said.

Lin Yueyue frowned slightly: "Really?"

“Look, he used to skip classes all the time and hang out with shady characters in society, but now he’s changed his ways. Not only does he not skip classes, but he also comes to class earlier than me every day. It’s unbelievable.”

"And what I find most strange is that he never stood up for Lu Chi when Lu Chi was bullied before. Has he taken the wrong medicine lately? He's always protecting Lu Chi." Wang Meili was completely puzzled.

After hearing these words, Lin Yueyue was also puzzled.

Yu Qing's angry expression just now really startled her. She had never seen Yu Qing so angry before. Even when she was blocked outside the school gate by some thugs last time, Yu Qing had never been so hysterical.

“Beautiful, can I ask you a question?” Lin Yueyue suddenly said.

"Go ahead and ask!"

"Did Lu Chi do something wrong in the past? It seems like everyone dislikes him." Lin Yueyue only transferred here this semester, so she doesn't know anything about these things.

Wang Meili thought for more than ten seconds before saying, "Well... I don't think so! I just don't want to talk to him because I see that everyone dislikes him. After all, being with such an outsider would make you feel like an oddball. I don't think it's necessary to create distance between you and the other students because of him."

"I see!" Lin Yueyue said thoughtfully.

She couldn't help but glance at Lu Chi in the corner of the classroom and Yu Qing picking up loose change on the ground. For some reason, she felt that there was some secret between the two of them.

Yu Qing's sudden outburst caused only a brief moment of silence in the classroom before whispers returned. However, everyone knew that Yu Qing was in a bad mood and dared not speak loudly, for fear of angering this big shot.

Yu Qing didn't care about other people's stares. He picked up the scattered money one bill at a time and put it in Lu Chi's iron box, saying, "Don't pay attention to them. If anything happens in the future, just tell me, okay?"

"Why are you so good to me?" Lu Chi stared blankly at Yu Qing with a dazed and confused look.

"I'm not standing up for you, I just can't stand their behavior. Any other student would have done the same," Yu Qing said calmly.

Yes!

Everyone knew he was standing up for Lu Chi and defending him, but only he knew that he was actually protecting the two girls. Although the two girls' actions were somewhat wrong, they might anger Lu Chi and lose their lives as a result.

In his memory, only Lin Yueyue died a violent death in his previous life, while everyone else graduated safely. There was no guarantee that a butterfly effect would occur, so it was always better to be cautious.

Upon hearing Yu Qing's reply, Lu Chi lowered his eyes, concealing the expression within them: "Thank you."

Seeing his expression, Yu Qing didn't say anything.

During our student years, we always cared a lot about what others thought.

We use the antagonism of one person to form a united front, and we use badmouthing others to solidify our relationships.

Yu Qing knew that the two girls originally wanted to help Lu Chi pick up the table when it bumped into it, but after hearing the surrounding classmates' discussions, they felt that doing so would make them lose face, so they ultimately chose to avoid suspicion.

Human nature is like this: sometimes you haven't done anything wrong, but if you don't demonstrate your self-worth, even if you're as gentle as a cat, others will still complain about your molting.

Lu Chi was clearly not the type of person who would actively maintain friendships with classmates; he mostly chose to remain silent.

As the school bell rang, the homeroom teacher, Old Xu, walked into the classroom.

Old Xu glanced at the messy classroom but didn't say anything. Instead, he walked straight to the podium and began today's lesson.

Once class started, the classroom gradually returned to a learning atmosphere.

After writing the formula on the blackboard with chalk, Old Xu glanced back as usual and found Yu Qing sitting quietly in her seat, listening to the lecture without causing any trouble.

He nodded in satisfaction.

He had seen all the changes in Yu Qing these past few days, and was even secretly pleased with his decision.

Indeed, changing seats was the right choice.

Men like to persuade prostitutes to reform, women like prodigal sons to turn over a new leaf, and teachers naturally like students to reform themselves, as this gives them an unparalleled sense of accomplishment.

After the morning classes ended, the classroom became a mess in the afternoon.

It was full of fruit peels and scraps of paper, big and small.

During the break, Yuan Xiu took the name list and went to the podium to read aloud: "Alright, quiet down. Those whose names are called, please come with me to clean the classroom. Zhang Ya, Yang Jing, Lu Chi..."

Because cleaning is done on a rotating basis, the cleaning stopped when Lu Chi's name was called.

Yu Qing originally planned to go out for some fresh air, but when she heard Yang Jing's name among the cleaning staff, and thinking that Yang Jing was probably going to cause some trouble later, she immediately volunteered, "Class monitor, I want to sweep the floor too."

"Isn't your name not on the list today?" Yuan Xiu asked in surprise.

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Yu Qing's face: "I think it's good to exercise after a meal, since there's nothing else to do anyway."

Yuan Xiu looked at him strangely. In his memory, Yu Qing was not a hardworking person. Every time he was asked to clean, Yu Qing would find an excuse to run away.

But now that he's volunteering, there must be a big problem.

Yuan Xiu glanced at Yu Qing suspiciously. No matter how he imagined it, he couldn't understand why Yu Qing would do this, so he gave up. In any case, he was happy that Yu Qing was willing to sweep the floor.

"Alright, you and Zhang Ya can clean the windows together!"

"No, I want to sweep the floor." Yu Qing decisively rejected Yuan Xiu's suggestion, grabbing the broom from the corner without any hesitation.

"Yu Qing, I'm the class monitor. You have to listen to me. Yang Jing and Lu Chi are already sweeping the floor. You go and wipe the windows." Yuan Xiu's face immediately darkened. He knew that Yu Qing had no good intentions and was deliberately trying to go against him.

"Go if you want, I'm not going." Yu Qing completely ignored him.

When Yuanxiu realized that force wouldn't work, she threatened him directly: "Fine, fine, you're not going, right? If you're not going, then let him clean by himself. Let's go."

After saying that, he called to the other three boys and left the classroom.
