Chapter 69 Qi Ying said: "My beating hurts a lot more than Su Yun's."
After being rejected, Qi Ying called Su Yun twice more, but this girl seemed to really hate Qi Ying and didn't answer any of his calls.
There was no other way, Qi Ying had to send her a long text message to thank Su Yun for her "heroism" and hoped to invite her to dinner at her "home" when she had time. As Xing Xiaochu's "girlfriend", she would thank her in person.
Obviously, Su Yun didn't reply to the message either.
But it doesn't matter. Qi Ying believes that the weird kid will definitely have no chance with his Xiaochu. After all, he has his favorite one in front, and Xiaochu will never choose anyone else.
Although Xing Xiaochu kept saying that nothing was wrong with her and that the rumors that she was being kept by Qi Ying had no effect on her, the next morning, after Qi Ying sent Xing Xiaochu to the school gate, he did not go back immediately, but walked straight into the campus.
The classroom is very lively before morning self-study. Some are chatting, some are eating breakfast, and some are doing homework.
Ding Han just came back to school today. Her face was still covered in bruises. As she sat down, she glanced at Su Yun's seat. She knew that this person had been suspended from classes for a week, but she was still furious.
The students in front of him were very concerned when they saw Ding Han's expression and asked, "Why did you come to school now? Why don't you stay at home and rest for a few more days?"
"I can't rest. My mom said I can't delay my studies." Ding Han angrily took the textbook out of her schoolbag. Her movement was so big that it even tore the wound on her face. She gasped in pain.
Ding Han said angrily, "This Su Yun is really sick. She hits people on the face. My face is swollen like a pig's head. I can't go out to see people. And my mother is the same. She knew that my injury was not healed yet, but she insisted on making me go to school. It's so embarrassing to be seen by others."
The students in the front row looked at each other, not knowing how to comfort her.
Just then, Ding Han discovered that Xing Xiaochu had entered the classroom, and with her came a strange woman.
The woman was tall, looking taller than most people. She wore a light-colored windbreaker and her long black hair hung casually behind her. As soon as she came in, she attracted the attention of most of the students.
Several students couldn't help but whisper.
"Who is it?"
“I don’t know him.”
"A new teacher?"
"Impossible? How can they assign us new teachers at this stage?"
"Then they should be the students' parents, right?"
Qi Ying glanced at everyone's faces. These half-grown children were almost adults. The expressions on their faces were clear and stupid. They were confused and couldn't tell right from wrong.
Before she came, she asked Chen Dongdong who started gossiping about Xing Xiaochu first. Chen Dongdong then told her the other person's name. At this moment, Qi Ying saw Ding Han, with scars on his face, looking at her blankly, and he had not yet reacted to what was about to happen.
"I am Xing Xiaochu's parent." Qi Ying stood in the classroom and said to the students, "I heard recently that some people were gossiping about our Xiaochu, and what they said was very unpleasant."
When Ding Han heard this, he shuddered, knowing that this person was here to cause trouble for him, and immediately hid his face, hoping that Qi Ying could not see him.
But the person was sitting there, where could he hide?
"Ding Han, right?" Qi Ying looked at the girl who had started to crawl under the desk, called her name, walked over, put his hand directly on Ding Han's shoulder, and pulled her out from under the desk.
Ding Han was startled, especially when she was caught in someone's hand. She had already been beaten by Su Yun, and now she saw Qi Ying again. She was so scared that her face turned pale and she waved her hands repeatedly: "I didn't mean it, I just heard it from others!"
"Do you think you can talk nonsense just because you listen to others?" Qi Ying lifted the person up with great momentum. Ding Han was not tall, and even when she stood up, she was only as tall as Qi Ying's shoulders. Qi Ying looked down at the little girl and said coldly, "You are also an adult. You must be responsible for spreading rumors."
Ding Han was so scared that he almost cried.
Fortunately, Qi Ying was not here to bully others. She looked at the child who had been beaten black and blue, reached out and patted her face, and then said, "I can let you go this time, but if you do it again next time, I can come to you every day."
Qi Ying said: "My beating hurts a lot more than Su Yun's."
Ding Han was trembling all over, and her face began to hurt inexplicably. She nodded timidly at Qi Ying and said in a tearful voice, "I won't mess with Xing Xiaochu anymore..."
"That's good." Qi Ying smiled at her, patted Ding Han on the shoulder and said, "Sit down, it's time for you to go to class."
As soon as he finished speaking, the bell for morning self-study rang.
Although the bell rang, no one had come to their senses yet and they all stared at Qi Ying in a daze.
Xing Xiaochu was also standing not far away, watching Qi Ying. It was not until Qi Ying came over that she raised her head and looked at her: "Sister."
"Go to class." Qi Ying rubbed Xing Xiaochu's head and said to her, "Be good in class, I will come to pick you up after school."
Xing Xiaochu nodded, carried her schoolbag and returned to her seat. Qi Ying did not delay the students' class and left through the front door of the classroom.
As soon as Qi Ying left, Ding Han lay on the table and started crying. No one around dared to comfort her and pretended not to see her. However, a few classmates sitting next to Xing Xiaochu couldn't help but say, "Xing Xiaochu, your sister is so cool, she's so handsome!"
"Really, really, she's so charming when she smiles and threatens people, like a bad woman!"
"I wish my sister could stand up for me like this."
Xing Xiaochu sat in a chair, listening to people around him praising Qi Ying, and couldn't help but smile.
Perhaps Qi Ying's arrival worked. Before the morning self-study class was over, the whole grade knew that someone had come to school to support Xing Xiaochu. No one dared to gather at the classroom door during breaks, and some people even avoided Xing Xiaochu during lunch.
Chen Dongdong was very proud of this scene. She held her lunch and said to Xing Xiaochu happily, "Sister Qi Ying did the right thing. You should let them know how great you are, so that people won't gossip about you in school."
Xing Xiaochu nodded and smiled at the two of them: "Thank you for helping me, I'll treat you to milk tea later."
"Okay." Chen Dongdong accepted everyone who came. She said with regret, "I was late for the morning self-study today, so I didn't see how your sister taught Ding Han a lesson. I found that some people only dare to show off in front of you. When they really meet an adult, they are so scared that they cry for two classes."
Xin Ya also laughed and said to Xing Xiaochu, "Yes, we can't bear this injustice. You and Sister Qi Ying are in a legitimate relationship. What they said is really unpleasant."
Chen Dongdong also nodded hurriedly: "That's right, free love doesn't bother anyone, Xiaochu, next time you encounter someone gossiping, just confront them directly, don't be polite."
Xing Xiaochu also nodded seriously: "Okay."
***
Qi Ying was in a good mood. She didn't have much work to do today, so she had the patience to watch the surveillance footage of Xing Xiaochu's school. When she found that the child was obviously in a good mood today, she also became happy.
In the afternoon, the sky began to change, and it became gloomy and looked like it was going to rain.
Xia Ruoxin propped up her head and sat on the stool at the door, looking outside, and couldn't help but say to Qi Ying, "Every autumn rain brings a chill, and the temperature is expected to drop significantly tonight."
Qi Ying raised his head and glanced at the sky outside the window. Even through the glass, he could see the wind howling outside. He guessed that the cold air would be here soon.
"How many orders have we received for winter clothing so far?" Qi Ying picked up the store's account book and looked at this month's orders.
"Not many orders." Xia Ruoxin looked back at her. "Winter clothing is too expensive to order. The orders will be much less than usual. I'm worried about that. So far, I've only received orders for two furs and a few coats."
Winter is the off-season for the store, so it is normal to have fewer orders.
Fortunately, there are not many orders, but the unit price is not cheap. I can earn at least 20,000 to 30,000 yuan from a high-end fur coat. One or two orders every month are enough.
"Since there aren't many orders, why don't you stop going to the store every day? I can handle it by myself in the store." Qi Ying closed the bill and said to Xia Ruoxin, "Didn't you and Shi Yu discuss traveling some time ago? It's a good opportunity to go and have some fun while the scenery is beautiful in autumn."
Shi Yu has a good family background. After graduation, I heard that he was applying for a job in the city's ballet troupe. He is currently unemployed. A few days ago, when the two of them were being affectionate, Qi Ying heard Shi Yu say that he wanted to travel abroad and asked Xia Ruoxin to accompany him.
"That's so embarrassing." Xia Ruoxin said with a smile: "Even if I were traveling, I wouldn't be that fast. It would probably take another two days."
Qi Ying didn't care. She sat on a chair with a cup of coffee and said calmly, "It doesn't matter if you buy a plane ticket tonight. I'm not busy anyway. If you want to play, go ahead."
Xia Ruoxin dragged a stool over and came closer to ask Qi Ying: "Hey, Ah Ying, do you want to take a few days off to go out and play? And spend time with your girlfriend at the same time."
Qi Ying took a sip of coffee and said, "She has no time because she is in school."
"That's such a pity." Xia Ruoxin folded her arms and lay on the table, looking at Qi Ying and said, "Children have to go to school. They can't do whatever they want like us adults."
"But it doesn't matter." Xia Ruoxin added: "Wait until she grows up. If you two are still together by then, you can go traveling together."
Wait until she grows up?
Qi Ying was stunned by Xia Ruoxin's words. The image of Xing Xiaochu when he grew up gradually emerged in her mind, and it seemed... not much different from now.
But in the game setting, can Xing Xiaochu grow up?
Qi Ying drank another sip of coffee in silence, not noticing Xia Ruoxin's gaze.
Xia Ruoxin lay on the table and looked at Qi Ying, who had a sad face across from her. Suddenly, she felt something was strange. She found that every time she mentioned the future of Qi Ying and her girlfriend, Qi Ying would frown.
Just when Qi Ying was worried, her cell phone on the table rang and a text message came in.
She glanced at the screen while holding her coffee and found that the person who sent her the message was Su Yun.
On the small screen, Su Yun only sent three words: [Where to eat?]
Qi Ying: “…”
This kid is so unpleasant.
