Duan Jingfu carried Ruan Chen and ran out. Ruan Chen's eyes were tightly closed, as if she was unconscious. Her brows were furrowed, and her temples were covered in cold sweat.
After the two left, the surveillance cameras in the room where Chi Xiao was stored were put back into operation.
However, the Crimson Sky on the control panel was no longer in its previous form; it had become a dull black dagger.
In a place unseen by humans, a sentence was automatically written into Chixiao's underlying data.
"She's back."
At the end, there's a small smiley face made up of characters.
The next day, Ruan Chen was late. Her eyes were dark and bluish-gray. As soon as she sat down, she slumped over listlessly.
He smelled strongly of disinfectant.
Actually, Ruan Wenlou asked her to take leave, but Ruan Chen felt that in her current mental state, she could sleep anywhere anyway, and if she asked for leave, she would have to inform the homeroom teacher.
I can't be bothered to deal with Zeng Han.
"Are you sick?" Yu Xiaoya nudged Ruan Chen from below and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? Aren't you renting a place outside and have someone at home with you? How about I ask my mom to take care of you for a few days and cook for you or something?"
Ruan Chen was taken aback.
This is allowed?
Her tone was slightly awkward, "How could I? I just had a terrible headache when I woke up this morning, so I went to the hospital and got some medicine. It's nothing serious."
Yu Xiaoya nodded and said "Oh," then asked, "Do you have trouble sleeping? My dad used to have insomnia too, but he got much better after taking a folk remedy. I'll ask him about it later, and you can try it too."
Ruan Chen paused in turning the pages of the book.
Aside from Ruan Luo and Ruan Yu'er, she had few peers who cared about her.
Although Tao Ran and Xu Xiaolan took good care of her when they were together and did not treat her as an innocent minor, they would still inadvertently reveal a bit of protectiveness and pampering. Compared with Yu Xiaoya, they were ultimately different.
"By the way, are you coming to my house tonight? My cousin and younger cousin are coming too. I really hate them. You should come and back me up. You should remember my younger cousin. You beat him up at your house. He was trying to take advantage of you back then."
Ruan Chen thought for a moment and asked, "Is it convenient?"
"It's convenient. They often bring their classmates over to our house to throw parties and show off, pretending it's their own home. My parents just go along with it. I've never brought my classmates home before."
Ruan Chen reached out and turned a page of Yu Xiaoya's textbook, gesturing for her to take notes, and replied, "Okay."
Bo Nian had been keeping an eye on Ruan Chen.
Ruan Chen didn't show up for morning reading, and he was filled with anxiety. Could Ruan Chen really be dropping out of school to go to the Second High School?
He breathed a sigh of relief when Ruan Chen walked in through the back door carrying her schoolbag.
But he soon discovered that Ruan Chen had been sleeping the whole time.
During lunch break, Ruan Chen was too tired to go to the cafeteria. Her headache hadn't subsided, so she slumped over the table and played Candy Crush.
Lin Fengzi asked her to look at the second draft of the model from last night, but she was too lazy to even receive the file and replied hastily with just two words: "I'm sick."
I really can't concentrate on it.
Duan Jingfu stayed with her at the First Affiliated Hospital of Beijing University of Technology last night. The initial diagnosis was that she had very typical symptoms of mental impairment and needed to rest for a while.
She heard Bo Nian's footsteps stop behind her, but too lazy to respond, she completed a level with full stars on her own, and then recharged her account to buy stamina to continue playing.
A notebook was pushed in front of her.
"I noticed you've been sleeping the whole morning. Do you want to catch up on your notes?"
"Thanks, but no need."
Bo Nian awkwardly put the notebook away and asked again, "Are you interested in participating in the Global Invention Conference? Our class has already signed up for two groups, and our group is still missing one person. If you participate, we might have a chance to aim for a better ranking."
Ruan Chen's eyes never left her phone, and she casually replied, "I've already teamed up with someone else."
"Oh." Bo Nian looked a little disappointed, then asked, "Shall I buy you lunch?"
"No need, my deskmate will bring it for me."
Bo Nian's toes had already awkwardly dug out a three-bedroom apartment for him. He hurriedly said, "Sorry to bother you," and turned back to his seat.
Ruan Chen finally looked up from behind the screen, tilted her head slightly, and gave Bo Nian a cool look.
This person must be seriously mentally ill. I said yesterday that I wasn't angry, but he seems to be trying to appease me indirectly and apologize.
As soon as the school bell rang in the evening and the teacher finished saying get out of class was over, Yu Xiaoya couldn't wait to pull Ruan Chen away.
Yu Xiaoya naturally reached out to link arms with Ruan Chen, just as she would with other friends.
Ruan Chen's body stiffened slightly.
She was very uncomfortable with such close, close contact with people.
But she also knew that it would be impolite to simply shake her off.
The Yu family resides in Sofitel Castle, which is one of the assets of the Yu family's tourism industry, and the surrounding area is open to the public as a tourist attraction.
As the car slowly pulled in, Ruan Chen casually remarked, "I thought you would often bring your friends over when you were studying at Huating Public School."
“No way,” Yu Xiaoya scoffed. “I know exactly what they’re up to by hanging around me. I’d like to introduce Chen Mohan to my parents; it would be good for his future. Every time I mention him, he acts like he’s hiding something and says it’s inconvenient. Now it’s even more obvious. He’s disappeared since he entered Shanhe University, except for the occasional landscape photo he takes somewhere.”
The car stopped in front of a beautiful and luxurious Gothic building, and Yu Xiaoya, arm in arm with Ruan Chen, skipped and hopped inside.
"Dad, Mom, I brought the academic genius with me! Mom, what delicious food did you prepare at home today?"
Ruan Chen was about to greet Yu Xiaoya's parents when she glanced at the two people playing games on the sofa when no one else was around.
She smiled and greeted us politely and gently, "Hello, Uncle, hello, Aunt."
The two people playing the game simultaneously threw down their game controllers and looked up.
The difference is that one person's eyes showed fear, while the other person's expression was seven parts politeness and three parts disgust.
The former was Yu Tianjiao, who tried to seduce her on the terrace, and the latter was Ruan Yunhan's current boyfriend, Yu Tianji.
Yu Tianjiao pointed at Ruan Chen, "What are you doing at my house? Haven't you hurt me enough?!"
Seeing Ruan Chen made him feel a dull ache in his hands.
Yu Tianji's face immediately darkened. "Ruan Chen, it's one thing for you to bully Yun Han, but you've also bullied our Tianjiao?"
