"I..."
When Ling Mo asked Ji Yan this question, his ashen face flushed slightly with embarrassment or guilt.
In his mind, Ling Tian had always been a kind, gentle, and excellent girl.
That's why he unconditionally and without principle protected her.
Now, he suddenly realized that Ling Tian was not as perfect as he had imagined, and his goddess-like image of her was shattered by her despicable behavior.
Ling Mo's sharp, almond-shaped eyes stared directly at the ashamed Ji Yan, and he said indifferently:
"Liking should be simple and beautiful, but you have made the word 'liking' dirty and disgusting. There is nothing wrong with loving someone because of them, but your behavior is more like aiding and abetting evil. If you continue to go your own way, I will not stop you, and I will accompany you to the end."
"I'm so sorry, I really apologize."
Ji Yan recalled how he had made things difficult for Ling Mo before, and felt so ashamed that he wanted to disappear. He lowered his head and apologized to her again and again.
After he came to his senses, he realized that the person who was keen on spreading rumors was not Ling Mo at all.
On the contrary, Ling Tian, who portrays herself as the weaker party, always acts aggressively and repeatedly plots to frame Ling Mo.
"No need for apologies. Wrong is wrong. If I were even slightly weaker, you would have destroyed me to the core long ago."
"Yes, a mistake is a mistake."
Ji Yan's eyes reddened slightly as he realized that he had become the very thing he hated most because of a vague and unrequited relationship, and his already unstable emotions were once again on the verge of collapse.
Thinking this through, he was powerless to beg Ling Mo to let Ling Tian off the hook, and he was too ashamed to say such a thing again.
After standing there stunned for a while, realizing that more and more people were coming to see him make a fool of himself, he slowly stood up like a walking corpse and walked alone, looking lost and dejected, towards the dark playground.
Ling Mo had good hearing. Hearing him repeatedly muttering things like "So, I'm the complete joke," and seeing his unfocused eyes as if he had lost his energy, he immediately sensed that something was wrong with his emotions.
After only a second of hesitation, she decisively called Qin Beiming and followed Ji Yan without making a sound.
Qin Beiming glanced sideways at the slight blush on her cheeks and asked with concern:
"Has the medicine really worn off? Let's not worry about Ji Yan's matter. I'd better take you to the infirmary for observation for a while."
"Don't worry, the effects of the medicine have dissipated."
"I'm a little curious, how did you dissipate the effects of the drug without taking the antidote?"
Qin Beiming wasn't one to pry into other people's privacy, but Ling Mo's secrets seemed endless, so he couldn't help but reveal all his doubts.
Ling Mo shrugged, not intending to hide anything from Qin Beiming, and said frankly:
"I can't really explain it, but generally, poisons or drugs that arouse feelings don't work on me."
"Immune to all poisons?"
Qin Beiming frowned, feeling that all of this was somewhat coincidental.
His illness was said to be curable only by the Heavenly Physician lineage, whose most prominent characteristic was immunity to all poisons.
Could it be that the divine physician he has been searching for all these years is Ling Mo?
The problem is, Ling Mo is still so young, does she really know medicine?
While Qin Beiming was frequently distracted, Ling Mo noticed that Ji Yan had already stepped over the one-meter-high railing on the riverbank outside the playground. She quickly grabbed Qin Beiming's arm and said urgently:
"Third Master, could you please do me a favor? If Ji Yanruo really does something rash and jumps in, could you pull him ashore? I'm wearing a skirt, so it's inconvenient for me to go into the water."
"He treated you like that, and you still want to save him?"
Qin Beiming seemed somewhat puzzled by this.
He had long known that beneath Ling Mo's cold exterior lay a kind and passionate heart, but in his memory, her kindness was never without its flaws.
Her kindness has a sharp edge.
That's why he couldn't understand why Ling Mo would extend a helping hand to Ji Yan.
"He is very annoying, but not an irredeemable person; his crimes do not warrant death."
As Ling Mo spoke, she suddenly recalled how Ji Yan had offered her help when she was bullied by Wu Xinyi and others before her rebirth.
At that time, Ji Yan was unaware that Ling Tian had a grudge against her, so he treated her relatively gently.
"All right."
Qin Beiming was unwilling to meddle in Ji Yan's affairs, but since Ling Mo had already spoken to him, he had no choice but to agree.
Looking up, Qin Beiming saw that Ji Yan seemed to have mustered up the courage to actually jump into the river. He then rushed forward with lightning speed and shoved him over the railing.
The next instant, with a loud "bang", Ji Yan was thrown to the ground by Qin Beiming.
"ah..."
Ji Yan was in pain all over from the fall. He struggled to sit up and looked at Ling Mo and Qin Beiming, who were standing in front of him with indifferent expressions, with a blank look on his face. "Why...why did you save me?"
"It's such a small thing, why are you so upset?"
Ling Mo crossed his arms and looked calmly at Ji Yan, whose face showed distress.
Ji Yan covered his face with his hands, trying his best to control his emotions, but his hoarse voice revealed a hint of uncontrollable hysteria:
“You wouldn’t understand. I feel like I’ve wasted all these years, accomplished nothing, done nothing of value, like a complete failure.”
"Instead of drowning yourself, why not do something meaningful? The students in Class F are in dire need of academic guidance. If you're really looking to die, why not do a good deed first and hand over your notes from all these years? Let's share the resources, what do you say?"
