Chapter 389: Evil (18)

When Bai Zhizhi saw Qiao Xi again.

I always felt like this friend of mine was a little different. I could say he was different, but he wasn't behaving in any particularly unusual way.

only……

Bai Zhizhi saw that Qiao Xi was working extremely hard, as if she was trying desperately to cram all the knowledge into her head.

She didn't know what had stimulated the girl.

Why do you love studying so much after coming back?

Even though I had seen Qiao Xi studying before, I had never seen her study so hard.

"Xixi, are you okay?"

Bai Zhizhi sat in front of her to eat, watching the girl come to this point.

You also need to bring your notes to the cafeteria and read while eating.

"And your injuries, are they really not a big deal?"

Bai Zhizhi hesitated to speak.

Her worried gaze fell on Qiao Xi's neck, where there was a purple mark that looked very scary.

When Qiao Xi came back.

He just said that he went to the amusement park to work part-time as a puppeteer on the weekend, and was accidentally knocked down and injured. He has already applied medicine.

But this trace...

It's really too obvious, and the scars are so horrific.

How hard did Qiao Xi fall at that time?

Bai Zhizhi was a little worried that she would suffer from sequelae, so she wanted to persuade the girl to go to the hospital to check out her neck. After all, it was such a fragile area, so it was better to be cautious.

But Qiao Xi remained indifferent.

She tried to persuade him several times, but had to give up.

Bai Zhizhi changed the subject again and said, "By the way, Yan Shen said he's free this afternoon. Xixi, why don't you go for the interview this afternoon?"

The girl has been studying so hard recently.

It was really a bit abnormal, but Bai Zhizhi heard Qiao Xi say that she wanted to be at the top and get first place in the grade.

Bai Zhizhi felt a little weird.

It's also a bit uncomfortable.

But seeing the girl's determined eyes, she was secretly inspired to fight, and she definitely didn't want to be outdone by Qiao Xi.

So now.

She also went home early to study.

Because of this, her contact with Yan Shen had been shallow recently, and she hadn't found a chance to talk to the boy about her best friend's interview time. Until today, when the big break was over and no one was paying attention, Yan Shen approached her and mentioned this matter.

She has officially joined the student union.

Now in the girls' department.

Last Friday, after school, when the student council got together as usual, she was formally introduced to the other members of the department. Naturally, most of the people who joined the women's department were girls.

There were also some boys who joined out of curiosity.

Met people from other grades.

Bai Zhizhi found that they didn't seem to have any hostility towards her. She was cautious in getting along with these people at first, but later they were taken to play a few games together.

I let go completely.

She began to slowly integrate into the group. This was also the first time she made other friends after she stopped staying with Qiao Xi.

Still very satisfied.

Plus, the atmosphere was really good, with mostly positive and optimistic people. Bai Zhizhi was even happier, and she didn't regret her decision at all.

But that's it.

She was even more convinced that Qiao Xi should join the student union and make more friends.

She also didn't want to move forward on her own.

Just leave the girl behind like that, and if you want to go, go together.

"I understand. I'll go."

The girl's voice was very soft.

Bai Zhizhi looked up and saw Qiao Xi carefully put away her notebook and put it in her arms.

It seems to be to avoid oil stains from getting it dirty.

Then she buried her head in her food and quickly finished her lunch.

Bai Zhizhi didn't know why Qiao Xi was not in a good mood.

Maybe it’s because I’m not used to interacting with other people?

I can't figure it out.

She could only attribute the reason to this. After all, before she met Yan Shen, she was also skeptical about the student union.

I don’t know if it’s really that good.

And wait until she comes into contact with Yan Shen.

After chatting with this gentle, reliable and mature boy, she gradually felt at ease. The small pendant that Yan Shen gave her was also hung on the zipper of Bai Zhizhi's schoolbag.

"It's okay, Xixi. I'm here too. If you have any questions, you can ask me."

Bai Zhizhi comforted her.

The girl just nodded silently and then stopped talking.

Bai Zhizhi didn't know what was wrong with her.

Also a bit depressed.

Qiao Xi looked a bit like she did before when she couldn't see Yan Shen and was in a bad mood. Anyway, Yu Zhi didn't come last Friday, right?

And he didn't come today.

Could it be that...something really happened between Yu Zhi and Qiao Xi?

Bai Zhizhi thought about this.

My craving for food was burning in my heart, and I became nervous for no reason, my heart pounding.

Yu Zhi is the strangest one in F4.

Not to mention girls, even boys find it difficult to approach her, if the people in the street dance club hadn't said in their promotion that Yu Zhi from their club had won an award.

I'm afraid others really don't know.

When Qiao Xi returned to class, Zhou Jingjing and her group were still being sarcastic to her as usual.

What indecent.

This must be the reason why Qiao Xi was beaten up. He deserved it, and there were also people saying that God was watching and so on.

"Alas, some people go to great lengths to build connections, but what are they trying to achieve?"

Zhou Jingjing sat in her seat.

She crossed her legs.

She raised her hand and looked at her newly painted nail polish, saying this as if talking to herself.

The little follower beside her.

Soon, he would pick up the conversation: "You want to get close to the top student in the grade, but you haven't succeeded. So you can only try to attract the attention of F4."

Then there was a burst of snickering.

"Maybe he was born by a father but not raised by a mother, otherwise he wouldn't be so unruly, even losing his dignity."

A burst of laughter was heard.

Bai Zhizhi looked unhappy and immediately stood up to speak for Qiao Xi, but she was well-educated after all.

His face turned red with anger.

No matter how harsh the words were, if they were heard by those people, they would all laugh at them.

"Don't go too far, or I'll tell the teacher!"

Zhou Jingjing held her stomach and laughed.

"Go ahead. Who dares not give you the honor of being the top student in the grade? You only know how to tell on the teacher. How old are you?"

You are already so old.

Are you still using this trick to threaten people?

"Forget it, Zhizhi. There's no need to waste time talking to them. It's not worth it."

Qiao Xi glanced over.

Grab the angry Bai Zhizhi, so that the girl won't get any benefits and get hurt by them instead.

"Xixi, you?!"

Bai Zhizhi turned around and looked at her in disbelief.

Of course she understands the truth.

But when she was being bullied, it was Qiao Xi who stood up and stood in front of her to stop the gossip.

Qiao Xi was very tough at that time.

Because of this, I offended them and was isolated and neglected.

But now it was her turn.

Why didn't she say anything and just let these people bully her?

I feel a surge of resentment in my heart.

Even Bai Zhizhi felt aggrieved, how could she still endure this?!

Not like the previous Qiao Xi at all!

Bai Zhizhi glared at her fiercely: "Don't eat my cookies for free, fight them! If you don't agree, tell the teacher!"

Who knows...

The next second, Qiao Xi shook her head and took a step back, her frail figure trembling slightly. It was as if she had encountered something extremely terrifying, causing this once proud and confident girl to fall from grace in an instant.

Become cautious and timid.

"But I'm not loved by my father and mother. They're right. Someone like me... I'm really not worthy of Yan Liang's confession, not worthy of Yu Zhi's kindness in borrowing books from me, and not worthy of Zhan Qi personally sending me back."

Let’s talk about the latter.

There was even a hint of crying in the girl's trembling voice as she sobbed.

Tears welled up in her slightly red eyes.

Her clear and pure eyes were soon filled with misty water vapor, as if she really felt inferior because of her background.

In conjunction with.

Her petite shoulders were trembling slightly, and the tip of her nose was tinged with a faint red.

Looks like.

It also appears more weak and helpless.

She sobbed and frantically wiped her eyes with her sleeves, but the more she wiped, the more tears came out.

"I know I shouldn't harbor any illusions. I'll recognize my place and stay away from them..."

Only the girl's intermittent voice remained.

The tense atmosphere seemed to freeze at that moment, and it was so quiet that even the sound of a pin drop could be heard clearly.

Zhou Jingjing had a sarcastic expression.

It was completely frozen on his face.

Even Bai Zhizhi, who had just wanted to vent her anger, still had the rage in her eyes. She stared at Qiao Xi in amazement, her mouth wide open enough to fit an egg.

What are you talking about...

Zhou Jingjing forced a smile and said, "Everyone knows how to brag. You..."

She hadn't finished her words yet.

A lazy male voice interrupted at this moment, interrupting Zhou Jingjing's words.

"Hey - so Yan Liang has already confessed to you?"

I don't know when Yu Zhi came.

The boy put one hand in his pocket.

He was still leaning against the door, looking like he was watching a show, and the deliberately drawn-out ending of his voice was very meaningful.

It is also difficult to understand what attitude he holds towards this matter from his casual tone.

"Yu, Yu Zhi..."

Zhou Jingjing's expression changed.

Her best friend, who had just joined in the ridicule, also swallowed and looked at the boy walking towards them with fear.

A few people who were originally aggressive.

Suddenly, it was as quiet as a chicken.

“Woo…”

Only tears were still falling, and Qiao Xi was sobbing as she wiped her tears in a panic.

"Don't cry."

Yu Zhi walked straight past those invisible people and came to Qiao Xi.

He leaned over slightly, and his cold fingers gently touched the girl's soft cheek.

Wipe away her tears.

Qiao Xi was like a frightened little rabbit, startled by his sudden affectionate behavior. Subconsciously, she looked over with vigilance and quickly stepped back to distance herself.

Look, she's leaving.

Yu Zhi was one step faster and put his two cold hands directly on the girl's cheeks which had become hot from crying.

"Okay, stop crying."

Qiao Xi was suddenly frozen by his hand, and she shuddered and actually stopped moving.

“……?”

Bai Zhizhi was stunned.
