The girl's expression changed instantly.
She immediately looked at her skirt.
As expected...
Her skirt hem...
I don't know when it was cut open.
It's not very obvious unless you look closely.
But I saw it...
All I could see was that wound; it looked like a serious matter.
"I...I'm sorry..." the girl said urgently to Jiang Li, then immediately ran away clutching her skirt.
Those who attend Sacred Heart College are mostly from well-off families, and naturally, they are quite particular about their studies.
Now that her dress is torn, she naturally can't wear it to the graduation party anymore.
If others see her in that dress again...
Then she...
This is so embarrassing!
Having easily dealt with the first person who tried to strike up a conversation, Jiang Li hummed a little tune in a good mood and walked towards the self-service drinks and pastries area.
Jiang Li had just sat down with a plate of pastries when Lu Jiming caught her red-handed.
"I knew I'd find you here!" Lu Jiming sat down next to Jiang Li without any hesitation, picked up a piece of pastry from Jiang Li's plate and stuffed it into his mouth. "You two are really something, just leaving me here and running off like that."
Thinking about how he was abandoned, Lu Jiming was still filled with resentment.
Even if my own brother-in-law and future aunt-in-law want to enjoy some time alone, it wouldn't be a problem to give them a ride along the way, right?
Is it really necessary to abandon him?
"Huh?" Jiang Li was taken aback. "Aren't you usually very meticulous and picky when it comes to styling? We're wasting too much time waiting for you, so we'll be leaving now."
Lu Jiming was silent for a moment, then asked in a somewhat frantic tone, "Who said that? Who told you that? Who was fussy about the styling? Who was being nitpicky?"
"Isn't that... true?" Jiang Li blinked, then stared at Lu Jiming for a while. "Then why are you so late?"
"I didn't even bother to style my hair properly!" Lu Jiming said angrily. "Uncle must have said that on purpose. He just wanted to leave me behind and have some alone time with you! Why isn't he with you now? Why is he just leaving you here all alone?"
“Oh, I didn’t want to go to school with him, so… we parted ways before we even entered the school gates,” Jiang Li said honestly. “He’s probably with the school’s senior leaders now, and he must be quite busy.”
Lu Jiming: "..."
So this is the real reason why his uncle wanted to send him away?
That is unforgivable!
"Let's not talk about him anymore, I'm starving." Lu Jiming picked up another small pastry from Jiang Li's plate. "I must say, the things you chose are quite delicious. Auntie, could you go get me some more?"
"I haven't even said anything to you for eating what I gave you, and you actually want to order me around like this?" Jiang Li glared at Lu Jiming. "Do you believe I'll break your legs?"
"Auntie, Junior Uncle, please help me out." Lu Jiming looked at Jiang Li pitifully, his tone softening. "I was walking too fast just now and I twisted my ankle a little. It's not very noticeable, but my ankle still... hurts a bit."
He wasn't wrong.
If he hadn't reacted quickly, he might already be in the hospital.
Just thinking about it makes me feel so miserable.
"Your ankle hurts?" Jiang Li looked around and felt it wasn't appropriate for Lu Jiming to take off his shoes in this place, so she said, "Come on, let's find a rest room, I'll take a look at it for you."
"Shall we go to the lounge alone?" Lu Jiming pointed to himself, then to Jiang Li. "Isn't that a bit inappropriate? If my uncle finds out, he'll definitely torment me in secret!"
“This is the drinks and snacks rest area.” Jiang Li rubbed her temples and couldn’t help but speak up. “Are you sure you want to take off your shoes here and show your big toes? Aren’t you afraid of being stared at? I’m afraid someone might not be able to stand it and chop your toes off with a knife.”
Lu Jiming: "..."
Okay, taking off your shoes in this kind of situation is indeed not very appropriate.
Let's go.
"Wait a moment." Lu Jiming took out his phone and said in a deep voice, "I need to report this to my uncle first. After that, we'll go over together."
"Can't you be a little more dignified?" Jiang Li couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Why do you report everything to your uncle?"
"That's not important." Lu Jiming didn't feel ashamed at all. "Living is more important."
Jiang Li: "..."
Lu Jiming reported to Lu Shiyan, and then went to the nearest lounge with Jiang Li.
Jiang Li carefully examined Lu Jiming's foot injury. Although it didn't look too serious, it was already showing signs of redness and swelling.
If it's not treated promptly, this ankle injury will definitely get worse.
"Does it hurt?" Jiang Li raised her hand and poked a spot.
"Hiss..." Lu Jiming cried out in pain, nodding repeatedly, "It hurts..."
He wasn't faking it; he was really in pain.
"You wait here for a bit, I'm going out for a bit," Jiang Li said, and started to walk out.
As if she had thought of something, she slapped another invisibility talisman on herself.
Lu Jiming: "???"
Was he seeing things?
How could Jiang Li have disappeared in the blink of an eye?
Jiang Li went to the beverage section and took some ice cubes, putting them into her ring space.
I also picked up some food and drinks along the way.
After finishing these tasks, she turned back.
"Are you sure you didn't see wrong?" a girl said excitedly. "That's the campus heartthrob! I've liked him for a long time. If I could confess to him, my high school life wouldn't have been in vain."
"You're satisfied with just a confession?" someone next to him couldn't help but tease. "You should think more about it. The perfect ending would be if he agreed to be your boyfriend, okay?"
"Stop joking with me." The girl thought the other person was talking in their sleep. "How could someone like me expect to be with the campus heartthrob? As long as I can confess and tell him that I like him, that's enough."
"Alright." The person next to him shook his head. "I just saw him go into this lounge. You should go over there while there's no one else around. That way, even if you get rejected, not many people will know, and you won't lose face."
"I know you've thought a lot about me, you're so good to me."
"We're good friends. If I don't think about you, who will I think about? Okay, stop wasting time, go on..."
"good."
The girl quickly walked to the lounge.
The door to the lounge wasn't closed properly, and the girl pushed it open with a wave of her hand.
The scene before her eyes caught the girl's eye, leaving her stunned for a moment.
"You...you..." The girl looked at the scene before her with disillusionment, and her eyes suddenly reddened.
Before the people inside could speak, the girl wiped away her tears and ran away without looking back.
Waaaaah...
how so?
Her dream man...
That's how my disillusionment was shattered.
