Chapter 252
He didn't care about anything else at that moment, and ran towards the door, clutching his coat and schoolbag.
“Sister, I’m leaving my phone with you. The payment password is still four sixes.” He went to the door to change his shoes. “Use the money in there as you like… Ah, I really don’t have time. See you tonight, sister.”
He hurriedly left those words behind, rushed out the door with his back to the morning light, and didn't forget to smile and wave back before closing the door.
Jiang You walked quickly to the window, opened it a crack, and saw Xiao Bai riding away on his bicycle.
The house was no longer filled with the lively chatter of the original owner; it was as if the mute button had been pressed, and the noise vanished without a trace.
What an innocent young man! He took in a strange woman without asking about her background or investigating her past, and just let her stay.
Jiang You turned around and looked at the room. Apart from the things that had been messed up in the morning, the room was very tidy and clean.
After tidying up the mess, she muttered to herself, "What should I do?"
The sound was exceptionally clear in the quiet room, but there was no response.
She wasn't interested in the shonen manga in the room, so she picked up her white phone to kill time. She felt bored with reading novels and couldn't concentrate on them, and she also found watching short videos boring.
She put down her phone and, having nothing to do, sat on the floor in a daze.
Today is Thursday. People are going to work, going to school, looking for jobs, and even those who are at home feeling lost about the future still have their ID cards.
As she thought about it, her nose tingled with sadness. She was like a parasitic plant that could only rely on Su Qingbai for sustenance and would die if it were separated from Xiaobai.
Confusion, regret, fear...
Beep~~~, all her complicated emotions vanished the moment her stomach rumbled. It turned out that while she was lost in thought, it was already eleven o'clock.
I didn't eat enough last night, and I'm so hungry now.
Jiang You sniffed and went into the kitchen to open the refrigerator.
It's very empty inside.
She then remembered that Xiaobai had said yesterday, "We're out of ingredients, so let's just make some noodles."
There's no food. Shall we go out?
She found her underwear on the balcony and put it on. She wasn't surprised that Xiaobai washed her personal clothes, after all, it wasn't the first time someone had washed them, and she hadn't washed her own clothes in a long time.
She held Xiaobai's phone in her left hand and gripped the doorknob in her right.
With just a gentle press down and a push outward, the door opens.
Jiang You's hand hesitated to press down.
What if she meets someone who is interested in her while she's out? What if she runs into someone she knows?
People in the past would definitely have thought she was dead. Even if they thought she wasn't dead, the world is so big, as long as she didn't go out, they wouldn't be able to find her.
Xiao Bai is great. He's naive and easy to fool, and it's very comfortable to be with him. I don't need any other men.
Although she only stayed here for one night, the house already gave her a great sense of security.
The situation is already good; don't go out and cause unnecessary trouble.
I don't know if five or ten minutes passed, but the fingers that were resting on the doorknob slowly loosened, gradually retracted, and hung down at the sides of my legs.
She was too afraid to go out.
On the other side, Su Qingbai rushed to the school, parked her bicycle, and then ran all the way to her classroom.
Qingfeng High School is a public school, and most of the students come from very wealthy families. The remaining small number of students who are not well-off are admitted through special admissions.
Children from wealthy families can have a bright future without taking the college entrance examination; smart children admitted through special admissions do not need teachers to supervise their studies.
So it's a public school, but the academic management there isn't strict.
But! Qingfeng High School has a rotating red flag, and no one can refuse to have their class displaying the shining rotating red flag.
Especially for students from wealthy families, they lack nothing, but they care a lot about face. This is not an ordinary red flag; it is their face, their honor.
...Actually, it's the teacher's anger that's really scary.
The idea that teachers are afraid to educate wealthy students is something that would never happen in a public school system.
Wealthy parents send their children to the public school system, which means the teachers need to discipline them properly. If the teachers call the parents in, the parents will actually beat them with belts.
Su Qingbai didn't want to lose points for being late, which would prevent the class from getting the red flag, and she didn't want to be scolded by the teacher.
He arrived at the classroom, panting, and found that the class was neither noisy nor quiet.
Still wondering if the teacher wasn't there? Several people gathered around.
"Xiaobai, could you help me carry my homework to the office?"
"Help me first! They want to put on a craft exhibition but they're not taking it seriously. The materials are all messed up, and someone needs to tidy them up."
"Never mind them being newbies, come with me to get the documents first. The people over there are still not approving them. You know them well, so please help them out. It's extremely urgent."
He hadn't caught his breath yet, his head was spinning, and his eyes were practically spinning like mosquito coils: "Okay, okay, let me put down my schoolbag first."
After Qu Xing finished the last big question, he looked up and saw Su Qingbai surrounded in the center, earnestly agreeing to help her classmates one by one.
As Xiaobai's childhood friend, he knew all too well that Xiaobai was very lonely because his parents were away from home for many years, and that he had a strong desire to make friends.
The way to make friends is to keep giving and never ask for anything in return.
He did try to correct Xiaobai's mistakes, but he sincerely said, "It's good enough if I can help others."
Helping others is not a wrong thing. He looked at Xiaobai's innocent and passionate eyes and couldn't say anything. All he could do was step in and stop others from making unreasonable demands.
Qu Xing frowned slightly, stood up and walked towards Xiao Bai. After a few steps, he was blocked by someone, and in the blink of an eye, Xiao Bai disappeared.
He sighed helplessly.
