Chapter 28 Jiang Sui has low blood sugar
Because the girls were still running, to avoid chaos, Qian Lai told the boys to stay in place and wait until the girls finished before they started running.
Qian Lai was known throughout the school for his good temper, so the boys weren't afraid of him at all and would gather in twos and threes to chat.
"Hey, that girl running last, I feel like I've never seen her before?"
Which one?
Wen Jinxu pointed with his finger, his expression full of interest, "The one with the curly hair."
Several of his companions looked in the direction he pointed, "Oh, that's the new transfer student in Class Two."
“No wonder I’ve never seen him before.” Wen Jinxu stroked his chin. “He’s quite good-looking.”
He took a few days off from school at the beginning of the semester, and even the two days of the placement test were rushed. He only officially returned to school today.
Several people nodded in agreement. "Yeah, I think Jiang Sui is even prettier than Chen Xilin from the liberal arts class."
"That Chen Xilin is so arrogant, always looking down on people, and she won't even talk to you." The speaker picked up a handful of grass and threw it away. "I don't know what she has to be so proud of. I've disliked her for a long time."
“That depends on who it is,” Zhang Yang said sarcastically. “Chen Xilin doesn’t act like that in front of that person.”
Who is that?
Zhang Yang gestured towards Ji Jingyu's location with his lip, "Even the school beauty is selective. You're not as outstanding as her, yet you expect her to look up to you?"
A perfectly normal sentence, when spoken in a strange tone, suddenly took on a sinister connotation.
Wen Jinxu looked at Ji Jingyu's figure, a hint of disgust flashing in his eyes.
What a twist of fate!
This summer, his family spent tens of thousands of yuan to find several famous tutors for him. They thought he would definitely be able to beat Ji Jingyu in this mock exam, but unexpectedly he was still outdone by him.
After his parents found out about his grades, they gave him a severe scolding, calling him a good-for-nothing who had wasted so much money.
Wen Jinxu was in a bad mood for several days because of this.
Those around him knew he didn't get along with Ji Jingyu, and they all chimed in, "What bad luck, why does he have to attend class with people from Class Two?"
"Exactly, which idiot arranged this?"
They didn't deliberately lower their voices, and the boys in Class Two weren't deaf either; their expressions grew increasingly grim.
"Ha, as if we'd rather attend classes with people who only talk big but have no substance."
"I wonder who was it that bragged that they would definitely beat our Brother Ji in this exam. Now their face must be swollen."
"Of course, otherwise why wouldn't they dare to come to school for so many days?"
This wave of mockery should have been delivered on the day the placement test results came out, but because Wen Jinxu took leave, it was postponed until today.
"Who do you think you are?" Wen Jinxu sneered. "Even if I have no strength, I am still a hundred times stronger than a piece of trash like you."
The boy from Class Two, who had been mocked, immediately blushed and shouted, "You!"
"Hey, what are you guys doing!" Qian Lai noticed the commotion and hurried over.
Even though Qian Lai was easy to talk to, he was still a teacher, and the two sides immediately stopped arguing.
The more Wen Jinxu thought about it, the more he felt he had been taken advantage of.
Why should he have to charge into battle himself, while Ji Jingyu only needs to sit comfortably in the rear, letting his lackeys fight for him, and others still think he is aloof and reserved?
hypocritical!
I'll find a chance to get my revenge on him sooner or later!
Wen Jinxu thought bitterly.
Now he blames all his resentment on Ji Jingyu.
If it weren't for Ji Jingyu, he would have been number one in the grade.
His parents will not be disappointed in him.
"I remember now, this Jiang Sui looks a lot like Ji Jingyu..."
They are neighbors.
Their relationship is quite unusual.
Jiang Sui also stepped in to defend Ji Jingyu.
Before Zhang Yang could finish speaking, he saw a pair of cold, star-like black eyes sweep straight at him.
It is Ji Jingyu.
The boy had a cold and aloof demeanor, and his dark eyes held an indescribable chill as he looked at him, making him feel that if he continued to speak, the other party would definitely be rude to him.
He suddenly fell silent, forgetting what he wanted to say.
That's unbelievable.
He didn't react at all when I mentioned him and Chen Xilin, but now his ears are working properly.
Seeing that Zhang Yang stopped halfway through his sentence, Wen Jinxu urged impatiently, "What does it seem to be?"
"Hmm, it seems to be a classmate," he stammered.
Wen Jinxu: "..."
"Are you fucking an idiot? Do you think I don't know they're classmates? Get lost, just looking at you annoys me!"
After Ji Jingyu looked away, Zhang Yang cursed unhappily.
"Tch, what's with the attitude!"
The sound was so low it was barely audible.
Anyway, the poster has already deleted that post.
There's no point in saying it.
It's better to avoid trouble.

After the run, Luo Qi arranged for the girls to play badminton in pairs.
Under the blazing sun, the occasional breeze was almost negligible, yet it still managed to irritate and annoy people.
Jiang Sui was naturally paired with Xia Fan.
The two found a spot under the shade of a tree.
Jiang Sui swung her badminton racket and hit the shuttlecock to the other side, but Xia Fan missed it.
After several rounds, Xia Fan was already exhausted.
She was too lazy to even pick up the ball. Seeing that Luo Qi hadn't noticed them, she simply took her racket and slowly moved to Jiang Sui's side. "It's so hot, Sui Sui, let's take a five-minute break."
Jiang Sui gave her an "OK" sign.
The two sat together on a chair in the shade. Xia Fan used her hand as a fan, a faint blush on her fair face. "I wonder how much longer until get out of class is over."
"Fanfan," Jiang Sui gently nudged Xia Fan's shoulder and asked, "Who is that girl?"
There was also a girl sitting under the big tree opposite. Because she was looking down, I could only see her thin, pale chin.
She seemed to have appeared out of thin air.
Jiang Sui confirmed that she was not in the group when they first gathered.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the girls in Class 4 all kept a certain distance from her.
Like now, they'd rather team up in groups of three than team up with her.
Xia Fan looked up and saw the figure opposite her, her expression changed.
Even though she knew the other person couldn't hear her, she still subconsciously lowered her voice, "That's Lu Shuhe from Class Four."
Jiang Sui looked puzzled. "Lu Shuhe?"
"Yes." Xia Fan nodded. "She took a break from school for a while because of illness, and just returned to school this semester."
Class 4.
Get ill.
I just returned to school.
Based on these clues, Jiang Sui immediately guessed that she was the student who had "returned to school due to depression" that the teacher in the academic affairs office had mentioned.
"So it was her."
Xia Fan was somewhat surprised, "You know her?"
"I don't know, Fanfan, can you tell me about her?"
"I don't know much either."
Xia Fan glanced at the person opposite her, seemingly lost in a memory. "Lu Shuhe's grades had always been quite good, usually ranking in the top ten of the grade in every exam. Then one time she did particularly poorly on a test, and her homeroom teacher invited her parents to the school. Lu Shuhe started arguing with her parents right there in the office. In the end, she rushed out of the office and almost jumped off the fourth floor."
Xia Fan happened to be right next to Lu Shuhe when she jumped off the building and was terrified.
Therefore, during that period, Gu Ci would come from another teaching building to accompany her after each get out of class.
"I haven't seen Lu Shuhe at school since then."
Now Jiang Sui was certain that those people were intentionally distancing themselves from her.
Despite having recovery certificates issued by the hospital, everyone was still afraid.
Because Lu Shuhe is no longer Lu Shuhe.
She is a live volcano that could erupt at any moment.
She is a bomb with a countdown on.
She is a patient with unstable mental health.
In such an environment, under the strange looks of others, won't her condition worsen again?
Jiang Sui carefully examined Lu Shuhe across from her.
Seemingly noticing Jiang Sui's gaze, Lu Shuhe suddenly raised her head.
Jiang Sui finally saw what the other person looked like.
The girl was wearing a long-sleeved shirt and was so thin she looked almost unrecognizable, but you could still see her original sweet features.
At the same time, because she was thin, her eyes appeared even larger and somewhat frightening.
Lu Shuhe stared intently at Jiang Sui, not even blinking.
This was the first time Jiang Sui had ever seen such a look in someone's eyes.
There was neither joy nor sorrow.
Dull, tired, empty, like a stagnant pool.
She seemed to be looking at Jiang Sui, but also as if she were looking at something else through her.
Despite the sweltering heat, Jiang Sui felt a sudden chill run down her spine.
Is Lu Shuhe really cured?
Does Su Yinian know about these circumstances?
These thoughts instantly filled Jiang Sui's mind.
What rank did Lu Shuhe get in this diagnostic test?
Xia Fan shook her head. "I don't know."
After a few seconds, she added, "Actually, we're all quite worried about Teacher Su. This Class 4 is not easy to manage now."
Putting everything else aside, Lu Shuhe alone is already fraught with uncertainty.
If she can graduate peacefully, everything will be fine. But if anything goes wrong along the way, the consequences could be dire.
Xia Fan's tone was filled with worry and confusion, "She just finished teaching a class of senior high school students. Logically speaking, even if she doesn't take over Class 4, the school won't say anything. I really don't understand why Teacher Su makes herself so tired."
Upon hearing Xia Fan's words, Jiang Sui suddenly clenched her fists.
Is there anything you don't understand?
Su Yinian took on this hot potato that everyone was avoiding, wasn't it all to get rid of her?
Thinking of this, Jiang Sui felt both angry and heartbroken.
—
"Sui Sui, get up quickly, Luo Qi is coming." Xia Fan pulled Jiang Sui to her feet, ready to continue playing badminton.
To their surprise, Roach's attention was not on them at all.
He took his badminton racket and walked straight to Lu Shuhe's side, then bent down.
That posture suggests he was talking to Lu Shuhe.
Because her back was to them, Jiang Sui couldn't see Luo Qi's expression, nor did she know what he had said to Lu Shuhe.
But she keenly noticed that Lu Shuhe had become tense ever since Luo Qi appeared.
Is she afraid of Roach?
Xia Fan was equally curious, craning her neck to look across at the other side, "What is Luo Qi doing?"
Soon, they found out the answer.
Lu Shuhe, who had been indifferent to everything around her, actually stood up from her chair and started playing badminton with Luo Qi.
Jiang Sui and Xia Fan exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.
It seems there's nothing wrong with a physical education teacher teaming up with a student who is alone to play badminton.
But Jiang Sui always felt that something was wrong.
Luo Qi had no intention of playing properly with Lu Shuhe. The badminton shuttlecock went up and down, sometimes near and sometimes far, as if he were... toying with a poor little dog.
An inappropriate metaphor suddenly appeared in Jiang Sui's mind.
Lu Shuhe, however, was very cooperative.
—
Roach.
Lu Shuhe.
By the time Jiang Sui realized what was happening, the draft paper was already filled with the names of these two people.
Seeing Luo Qi and Lu Shuhe's names appear on the same piece of paper, Jiang Sui frowned even more deeply.
I felt inexplicably bad for Lu Shuhe.
She tore the draft paper in half without expression and crumpled each half into a ball.
The next second, her gaze fell on the small cake that Ji Jingyu had bought for her.
Jiang Sui gently scooped out a piece of cake with strawberry bits with a small spoon and put it in her mouth. The sweet but not cloying taste relieved her irritable mood.
Just as she was about to take her second bite, Sun Hao, who appeared out of nowhere, suddenly appeared next to her and Ji Jingyu.
Jiang Sui, still biting her spoon: "..."
Oops.
Lost in thought, I completely forgot that it was already self-study time.
"Jiang Sui has low blood sugar because she just finished PE class," Ji Jingyu explained to Sun Hao calmly.
"I see." Sun Hao had no doubt about Ji Jingyu's words. "Then eat it. If you still feel unwell, remember to go to the infirmary."
"knew."
Because he was holding a spoon in his mouth, Jiang Sui's speech was somewhat slurred.
Jiang Sui didn't have low blood sugar; she was full of energy when she was playing ball.
Sitting in the front row, Xia Fan rubbed her sore arm and thought to herself that Brother Ji was getting more and more amazing.
They lie without even thinking.
—
Ji Jingyu asked knowingly, "Did you see Luo Qi?"
"Um."
Jiang Sui now feels an almost physical aversion to this name.
Ji Jingyu praised her, "You did a great job."
During physical education class, he kept an eye on what Jiang Sui was doing.
Everything remained calm until the bell rang to signal the end of get out of class.
He silently breathed a sigh of relief.
"Are you afraid I'll argue with him?" Jiang Sui fidgeted with her pen. "I was originally planning to, but then..."
What happened next?
"I..." Jiang Sui hesitated, "I haven't figured out how to tell you yet."
A thought flashed through Jiang Sui's mind, but it passed by too quickly for her to fully grasp.
“It’s okay, you can take your time to think about it, and you can talk to me anytime.” Ji Jingyu was always very indulgent towards her. “But I still hope you can deal with this calmly.”
Don't get hurt.
Don't be sad.
Jiang Sui said seriously, "I know, don't worry."
—
That day, Jiang Sui once again tugged at Ji Jingyu's sleeve as she returned home.
She chatted with people the whole time.
Uncle Xu, could you please investigate someone for me?
Don't tell Dad about this yet.
[We also need to find a few more professional psychologists, preferably female.]
