Wen Lu was really angry when she thought about this, so she raised her hand and gave Xiao Ran a good beating.
She punched him hard, each blow landing squarely on Xiao Ran's face. She was determined to beat him into a pulp, to make him want to keep showing up in front of her and disgusting her.
Xiao Ran lay on the ground, unwilling to even dodge, as if he were atoning for Wen Lu's sins in this way. He felt that as long as Wen Lu hit him, she would forgive him one day.
Finally, after Wen Lu had beaten Xiao Ran until his face was a mess, she stopped, picked up her things, stood up, and left without even glancing at Xiao Ran again.
Xiao Ran sat on the ground, watching Wen Lu's back, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. Only then did he realize that he seemed to have never known Wen Lu before.
When Wen Lu returned to the dormitory, Qian Lailai excitedly took the things she had brought back from Wen Lu's hands. At this time, Dong Zhimeng was not in the dormitory. Wen Lu looked around the dormitory and asked softly.
Where is Dong Zhimeng?
“She said she was going to wash up. Junior Uncle, please sit down. I’ll take a lock of your hair and make a nest for it. I want to catch that little thing tomorrow. I’m afraid that little thing will go out of control and go crazy.”
When Wen Lu wasn't in the dormitory, Qian Lailai secretly did another divination for that little ghost. She felt that the little ghost seemed to have encountered something again, and its emotions were fluctuating a lot. She was very worried that if the little thing wasn't caught quickly, it might really end up being reduced to ashes.
Wen Lu listened to Qian Lailai's words and did not refuse her. She sat down on a chair next to her, opened her drawer, took out the scissors inside and handed them to Qian Lailai, asking her to take a strand of hair from her head.
After taking a strand of hair from Wen Lu's head, Qian Lailai placed it in a small glass bottle containing two beads, one black and one white. Wen Lu recognized them at a glance as the old man's Soul-Stabilizing Beads.
Wen Lu looked at what Qian Lailai was holding, sighed helplessly, and gently flicked Qian Lailai's head.
"I asked you if the old man gave you anything, and you said no, didn't you?"
Qian Lailai held the glass bottle in her hand and looked at Wen Lu with a wronged expression, her little mouth slightly pouting.
"I forgot, didn't I? When I was forced down the mountain, I was in such a hurry that I didn't even know what I brought with me. I only just discovered this thing in my backpack when I was looking for a container."
As Qian Lailai finished speaking, her eyes sparkled as she looked at Wen Lu. She cautiously asked, "Junior Uncle, when Master and the others kicked me off the mountain, did they know that something like this would happen? Or..."
Before Qian Lailai could finish speaking, Wen Lu raised her hand and covered her mouth. Then the dormitory door opened, and Dong Zhimeng walked in from outside carrying a basin of clothes.
Wen Lu frowned slightly as she looked at the clothes in Dong Zhimeng's hands. Then she turned to look at Qian Lailai, who was still dressed as a little Taoist nun. She felt that she needed to do some shopping; taking care of the child was just too tiring.
When Qian Lailai saw Dong Zhimeng come in, she stopped discussing the issue with Wen Lu. She quietly put the small bottle in her backpack and then noticed the food Wen Lu had brought back. Looking at the exquisite cake, she unconsciously swallowed.
"Little... Wenlu, can I eat that cake? I want the one with green grapes."
Qian Lailai pointed unceremoniously at the cake next to Wen Lu. Looking at so many pieces of cake, she felt that Wen Lu definitely couldn't finish them all by herself, and she wanted to share a piece with her.
Wen Lu glanced at the greedy Qian Lailai, handed her the green grape cake, then took a piece of strawberry cake and placed it on Dong Zhimeng's table, finally keeping a piece of strawberry cake for herself.
He casually handed the rest of the cakes to Qian Lailai, raised an eyebrow at her, and said in a gentle tone, "Why don't you give some of these cakes to your deskmate? You'll be classmates in the future, so it's important to get along well."
Before starting school, Wen Lu had investigated the situation of Class 24. There were many children from wealthy families in the class, but they all had very poor relationships with Su Yu and Pei Shasha's faction.
No girl in Class 24 bullied Dong Zhimeng. Some even wanted to stand up for her, but Dong Zhimeng refused them all. She was worried that Dong Zhimeng would implicate her classmates, so she always kept people at arm's length.
Qian Lailai was somewhat surprised by Wen Lu's generosity, not because Wen Lu was stingy, but because Wen Lu never bothered to build good relationships with anyone. She would never refuse someone who took the initiative to be friendly, but it was impossible for her to please anyone.
"What's wrong? What are you thinking about? Isn't your deskmate pretty nice to you? I heard you didn't have any socks to wear this morning, and your deskmate lent them to you."
Wen Lu felt a headache just thinking about it. She was really fed up with those old folks on the mountain. They sent a little idiot down the mountain, didn't they know to prepare something for her?
It's really not easy for someone to be able to rush down the mountain so casually and still be healthy.
Hearing Wen Lu's teasing words, Qian Lailai awkwardly scratched her hair. She hadn't expected that her only pair of socks would be torn; it was so embarrassing.
"that……"
"Alright, stop with that. Go and deliver the cake. There's other good stuff in that lunchbox. I just smelled it, and it looks like seafood with gravy or something. Go now, I'll be waiting for you to come back."
Wen Lu deliberately tempted Qian Lailai. She knew that Qian Lailai had always lived on the mountain and had a particular fondness for seafood. Coincidentally, Wen Lu also liked to eat small seafood, so every time she returned to the mountain, she would bring back some delicious seafood for Qian Lailai.
"Really? I'll be right there, you wait for me here!"
As she spoke, Qian Lailai hurriedly left, and at that moment Dong Zhimeng also came out from the balcony after hanging up the clothes.
Seeing Dong Zhimeng come out, Wen Lu handed the braised hairy crab in the sauce to Dong Zhimeng. Dong Zhimeng did not refuse. She took the thing from Wen Lu, pulled up a chair, and sat down at the table.
Wen Lu glanced around the dormitory, which was neither too big nor too small, and was still a little curious about why Dong Zhimeng was the only person living there.
"Why are you living in a dorm all by yourself?"
Wen Lu was somewhat surprised when she was brought to this dormitory that day. She didn't expect that there would be one person living in a four-person dormitory.
“I applied for it myself. I didn’t want to implicate others. In the past, no matter who I shared a dorm with, those people would always be affected by me. I didn’t want to involve them, so I applied to the class teacher. I said I wanted a dorm room by myself, even if it was a storage room.”
