He actually falls for this kind of thing. He always feels that other people's praise is flattery, but when Mu Wenxi says it, it sounds so sincere and believable.
Seeing that Qi Yang was about to launch into another long tale of his heroic deeds to Mu Wenxi, he couldn't help but interrupt him.
At noon, Mu Wenxi and Huo Jiangliu planned to go to the cafeteria for lunch, and Qi Yang insisted on going with them.
Huo Jiangliu was somewhat annoyed because Qi Yang kept muttering to himself. Mu Wenxi, on the other hand, felt that although Qi Yang was a bit noisy, he genuinely cared about Huo Jiangliu.
As soon as Huo Jiangliu went to the cafeteria, news of his arrival at the school spread quickly. Bei Ying naturally found out about it soon afterward. She was initially a little scared, and then a little regretful. Huo Jiangliu should have stayed at home rotting and stinking. Why was he coming to school when he was disabled?
Bei Ying will never forget this day, the day Huo Jiangliu kicked her out a month or two ago.
Bei Ying was a bystander in Huo Jiangliu's car accident. After finding out that Huo Jiangliu had returned home, Bei Ying went to the Huo family home, claiming to be Huo Jiangliu's classmate.
At that time, Huo's mother really hoped that a classmate would come and care about Huo Jiangliu, so Bei Ying was allowed to join the class, hoping that this little classmate could persuade Huo Jiangliu.
Following the housekeeper's directions, Bei Ying approached the door, carefully opened it, and curiously peered inside. The next second, a cup flew past her shoulder and face, crashing to the ground with a "thud." Her heart skipped a beat, and Huo's mother and the housekeeper were also startled.
Bei Ying thought Huo Jiangliu didn't know it was her, so she took a few steps forward and said, "Huo Jiangliu, I'm Bei Ying."
Who knew that Huo Jiangliu would get even angrier when he heard that she was Bei Ying. Although his car accident seemed to have no direct connection with this woman, he still couldn't help but take his anger out on her.
She reminded Huo Jiangliu of many things. She was always there whenever he was down on his luck, which made Huo Jiangliu believe that some things were true.
There were so many people around, yet that car turned twice, both times heading towards Huo Jiangliu. The driver was eventually found to be drunk, so he could only have made the wrong turn. Huo Jiangliu could only accept his bad luck.
But this woman still had to get close to him, pretending to be kind and saying, "Huo Jiangliu, I've come to see you. Your leg will get better."
Huo Jiangliu smirked, his eyes bloodshot: "Get lost."
In the darkness, Bei Ying seemed to see a pair of red eyes. She shuddered and saw Huo Jiangliu's ferocious and disgusted face. She immediately turned and ran away.
As if encountering a demon, Huo Jiangliu chuckled in the darkness and removed his mask.
Then I heard that she never dared to come again.
The classmate next to Bei Ying nudged her, wondering what she was thinking: "Eat quickly, the food is getting cold."
After regaining her composure, Bei Ying began eating her lunch. What did it matter to her if he was disabled? It was no big deal.
But she couldn't help but look in the direction of Huo Jiangliu and the others. She had asked Mu Wenxi to take care of Huo Jiangliu in her place, but now, seeing Huo Jiangliu attending class normally and them laughing and talking happily, Bei Ying felt a little jealous.
After lunch, Qi Yang offered to help Huo Jiangliu carry his tray to the recycling area, while Mu Wenxi stood beside Huo Jiangliu and waited for Qi Yang.
During class, she took notes and occasionally glanced at Huo Jiangliu. Worried that Huo Jiangliu's legs would be cold, she even brought a small blanket to cover them.
Qi Yang occasionally turned around to look at the two of them, but Huo Jiangliu pushed him back with his hand.
After a day of classes, Mu Wenxi gradually gained a deeper understanding of the school's current teaching pace. She will gradually improve her grades until she gets into a good university.
Huo Jiangliu's expression also improved, because the anti-bad luck artifact told him that his bad luck was only 60% gone. Once all the bad luck was cleared away, he would have a chance to stand up again.
He couldn't help but ask, "Is there really still a chance to stand up again?"
The "Anti-Bad Luck Gadget": "Clearing away all bad luck means you will be like a normal person, no longer so unlucky, and naturally have a chance of recovery."
Huo Jiangliu turned his head to look at Mu Wenxi studying diligently. The little girl was much healthier and prettier than when she first came to his house. She really was a lucky charm.
Mu Wenxi's meticulous care for Huo Jiangliu was noticed by some gossipy people at school. In fact, even she herself didn't realize that her concern and care for Huo Jiangliu was extremely natural, and gradually, bad rumors began to circulate in the school.
"What is the relationship between Mu Wenxi and Huo Jiangliu? And she wasn't in Class 9 before, she even transferred classes. I even saw them walking home together after school."
"Is it because you like Huo Jiangliu that you've been taking care of him?"
“I’ve never heard of them knowing each other before. I don’t know who said it, but I heard it was a nanny.
"What's so strange about that? It's just that a disabled person needs someone to take care of them and found a caregiver among their classmates."
“I think it’s possible that she really is the nanny. I heard from people who used to be in her class that Mu Wenxi used to be skinny and tattered even when she wore her school uniform, but now that she’s with Huo Jiangliu, she looks much better.”
Such rumors still reached the ears of Huo Jiangliu and Mu Wenxi, among others.
Qi Yang slammed his fist on the table in a fit of rage and said, "These bastards, instead of studying properly, all they do is spout nonsense."
Huo Jiangliu frowned when he heard the rumor. He didn't care about the rumors, since there had been all sorts of things said about him since he became disabled. But he was afraid that these negative words would affect Mu Wenxi. However, he immediately felt relieved when he saw that Mu Wenxi had no reaction.
Mu Wenxi naturally didn't take these things to heart. Right now, her most important thing was studying; studying was the top priority. People can say whatever they want, and it wouldn't hurt her. She quickly put the matter out of her mind.
Qi Yang: "You have a really good attitude."
Mu Wenxi: "Because I have a goal. These rumors from the outside world are obstacles on my road to success. If I take them seriously, I will lose. It's not worth it."
Qi Yang: "Awesome."
Huo Jiangliu: "As expected of you."
Naturally, some classmates who heard the rumors were also very curious about the relationship between Mu Wenxi and Huo Jiangliu, and some bolder classmates even asked Mu Wenxi about it themselves.
Mu Wenxi answered frankly, "I am Huo Jiangliu's bodyguard."
They were quite surprised, never expecting that Mu Wenxi was Huo Jiangliu's bodyguard. Judging from her thin and small appearance, she didn't seem like someone who could fight.
Mu Wenxi: "Why don't you believe me? I'll show you next time."
Class 9 students: Regardless of whether it is true or not, it's not good to see it for yourself. You can't just get beaten up, can you?
Whether it's the truth or not, they all quieted down. Rumors spread for too long and nobody cares anymore; fewer and fewer people will pay attention.
