The night was like a curtain, deep and vast, and the slanting shadows under the streetlights looked so lonely.
Lin Yue stood motionless at the intersection with her head down, staring blankly at the road. A gust of wind blew by, and her hair fluttered gently.
She stood at the intersection for a while before she could hail a taxi. After getting in, the driver gently confirmed the last four digits of her phone number and her destination with her. Only after confirming that everything was correct did he slowly start the car.
As the vehicle drove away, Courtyard No. 1 gradually blurred out of sight. "Bastard, he used me as a punching bag! I'm never coming here again! You can beg me to come, but I won't! I don't care!" Thinking this, tears involuntarily streamed down her face, and Lin Yue quickly wiped them away.
When Jiang Li returned to the dormitory and saw her red eyes, she was startled. "Yuezai, why are you crying? Weren't you at home? Why did you come back? Did your mom scold you?"
Lin Yue opened her mouth as if to say something, but then said, "It's nothing, it's just windy outside and sand got in my eyes."
Jiang Li craned her neck to look out the window. "Is it windy today?"
"I'm a little tired, I'm going to sleep now. Remember to wake me up for class tomorrow." Lin Yue changed into her pajamas, crawled into bed, and covered her head with her blanket.
This is the No. 1 Courtyard area.
After finishing his work, Song Yunzheng reminisced about his youth for a while. Only when he left the study did he remember that the girl seemed to still be angry...
Today was the first time in all his years as a doctor that he had left work on time. Perhaps he was thinking about the little girl at home and wanted to come back early to play with her.
Who would have thought that the moment I stepped into the house, that girl would make my toes ache with anger! Every single thing she did seemed to perfectly step into his sensitive spots!
He walked to the guest room door and knocked gently.
"Tap tap tap..."
"..." It was quiet inside, with no response.
"Are you asleep? Did you eat dinner before going to sleep? Only one meal a day?" Song Yunzheng frowned. This girl really doesn't take her health seriously!
Thinking of this, he pushed the door open and went in, but the empty room was empty. The bed was made neatly, the blankets were folded into squares, and next to it were her newly bought pajamas and underwear, as well as the black pajamas she had changed out of.
Song Yunzheng belatedly remembered what she had said before closing the door, "Thank you for taking me in last night. I have something to do, so I'll head back to school now..."
He couldn't help but sneer, "Lin Yue, you really have some nerve, leaving without even saying goodbye!"
Song Yunzheng frowned slightly as she looked out the window. The night was pitch black, and her freshly washed clothes were still hanging on the balcony.
What time did she leave? Did she go back to school or somewhere else? These questions began to linger in his mind.
Running around aimlessly so late at night, he's such a worry! Suddenly I remembered, didn't he get his marriage certificate with her to make things easier? Why am I even more worried now?
He sighed softly, picked up his phone, and opened WeChat, only to find that the two of them hadn't chatted at all; the latest message was still, "I've accepted your friend request. We can start chatting now..."
After hesitating for a moment, I still sent her a curt greeting.
Where?
After sending the message, I stared at the chat interface, as if afraid of missing her message.
But Lin Yue did not do as he wished. When she saw the WeChat message he sent, she only clicked on it, glanced at it, said "hypocritical!" and threw her phone aside, ignoring it.
Song Yunzheng waited in vain for a reply, and in frustration, he ran a hand through his hair. "Are all kids these days so headstrong? Can't you say a word to them?"
For the next week, Lin Yue would receive WeChat messages from Song Yunzheng from time to time, each time consisting of a short sentence.
"Have you got a meal yet"
Has Gu Chaoyan caused you any more trouble?
"Are there many classes?"
Are you tired from class?
"Is there anything you'd like to eat? I'll take you there."
Lin Yue still didn't reply to a single message, showing him with her actions, "I'm not so easily fooled! You think you can slap me and then give me a sweet treat? No way!" That's how tough she was! Who told him to take his anger out on her!
Song Yunzheng was not discouraged after not receiving any reply for a week. Instead, he humbly asked his sister for advice on how to appease his wife when she was angry.
That day, Lin Yue and Jiang Li came out of the library and bumped into Gu Chaoyan. What a small world!
Lin Yue tried to pretend she hadn't seen anything and pulled Jiang Li aside, but Gu Chaoyan stood in her way and deliberately walked in front of her, blocking her path.
"Why are you hiding? I have something to ask you!" Gu Chaoyan said, reaching out to grab Lin Yue's arm.
"Hey, what are you doing? You want to fight again, huh?" Jiang Li stepped forward to stop Gu Chaoyan's outstretched hand, while rolling up his sleeves, ready to fight at any moment.
Lin Yue pulled Jiang Li behind her to show her not to worry, then turned back to look angrily at Gu Chaoyan, "I have nothing to say to you. If you still want to fight, go find someone else. I don't have time to play with you."
"What's your relationship with Brother Yunzheng? Why is he so protective of you?"
"What's my relationship with him? What's it to you? Don't go around fussing over trivial matters!"
"It has nothing to do with me? Lin Yue! If it weren't for you, how could Brother Yunzheng have called my dad! He even demanded that I write a 10,000-word self-criticism and apologize to you in front of the instructor! What exactly is your relationship with him? Why is he protecting you like this!" Gu Chaoyan was trembling with anger, showing none of her arrogant and domineering demeanor from that night.
Lin Yue was slightly taken aback. In the past week, apart from attending classes, she had spent her spare time inquiring about the girl who was bullied in the bathroom. The surveillance footage from that night at the badminton hall had long been deleted, so it was naturally difficult for her to find the person. She didn't expect him to solve it so easily.
