Yi Tianran was almost amused by her anger. "Xu Zhe, are you deliberately trying to pick a fight with me?! You're giving me Buddhist scriptures, are you going to use the Great Compassion Mantra to help me pass on to the afterlife?!"
Xu Zhe was almost overwhelmed by the sea of Buddhist scriptures. He finally managed to emerge from the pile of scriptures and explained with a simple and silly look, "That's not what I meant. I just heard that if you've been frightened, reading Buddhist scriptures can calm your mind and soothe your emotions. That's why I specially ordered these from all over the country, and some of them were even brought back from overseas."
Regardless of why Buddhist scriptures from China flowed into overseas markets.
His godlike thought process alone truly shocked Yi Tianran.
For the first time, I felt speechless and choked with emotion.
Are you still the same arrogant and cocky kid I knew at the beginning?
This personality change is just too outrageous.
Could it be... that this is his true nature?
“I’m not as fragile as you think.” She finally sighed helplessly. “The crisis is over, what’s there to be scared of? The fact that I escaped alive shows that I don’t take this threat seriously at all.”
Xu Zhe frowned slightly upon hearing this. "What exactly happened? How did you suddenly encounter danger? Who wants to harm you?"
Yi Tianran thought for a moment and then briefly recounted what had happened last night.
Xu Zhe was terrified. He couldn't even imagine if he were in that desperate situation, would he have any chance of survival?
"You've only been at school for a short time, who would harbor such deep hatred for you..." Halfway through his sentence, several arrogant and domineering faces suddenly flashed through Xu Zhe's mind, "It's Chu Yinyin and the others!"
Yi Tianran shook her head.
Xu Zhe asked in surprise, "You don't think so?"
"Yes and no." Yi Tianran's expression was cold and stern, her eyes gleaming with a sharp light. "After the police investigation, it was discovered that the school's surveillance cameras were malfunctioning during that period, and coincidentally, the cell phone signal was blocked while I was being detained. There was also that gas cylinder. At that time, with just those three, although I don't deny that they are both stupid and wicked, do they really have that much ability?"
After listening to her words, Xu Zhe thought about it seriously and realized that it was indeed unlikely.
“Then the mastermind behind this must be someone of high status.” Xu Zhe lamented that he had limited connections and no status to protect her, and he couldn’t even help her find the real culprit.
Why did I have to hurt you?
He finally found a girl he cared about, and he was devoted to her, wanting to cherish her dearly, but someone was so vicious.
"The answer will be revealed soon," Yi Tianran said calmly. "Just wait and see those clowns reveal their true colors."
"What do you plan to do? Don't risk your own safety," Xu Zhe said nervously.
Yi Tianran narrowed her eyes and smiled, "I need your cooperation."
...
After talking with Xu Zhe, Yi Tianran entered the classroom through the back door.
As I passed Cheng Lu's desk, I "accidentally" stepped on her foot.
"Ah!" A sharp pain jolted Cheng Lu back to her senses, and she burst into a tirade: "Which blind fool dared to—"
Before she could finish speaking, upon seeing Yi Tianran's smiling face, her breath caught in her throat. Like a mouse seeing a cat, she shrank back in fright, her cheeks twitching involuntarily. She stammered, "So it's you, Qin. I'm so sorry. Because I was blocking your way, your noble shoes stepped on my foot. I apologize on its behalf."
She slid down to her knees too quickly and lowered her posture too much. If someone who didn't know her domineering personality had seen it, they might have thought she was being sarcastic on purpose!
Yi Tianran curled her lips into a half-smile and said, "Cheng, why are you being so polite? Anyone who didn't know better would think you'd done something wrong and were feeling guilty, afraid of being come after!"
Cheng Lu's heart skipped a beat, and her mind went almost blank.
Oops!
We've been discovered?
Is her life about to end?
A series of ominous premonitions overwhelmed her, almost causing her to faint on the spot.
"Cough..." It wasn't until she heard a cough that she subconsciously looked at Chu Yinyin's face.
Her face darkened, and she gave her a warning look.
Cheng Lu was jolted awake from her nightmare and immediately forced an awkward smile: "Qin, you're joking. I'm just a 20-year-old college student, what bad things could I possibly do!"
Yi Tianran murmured languidly, her expression ambiguous, "Is that so?"
"That would be best. If you don't do anything wrong, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door in the middle of the night." Yi Tianran bit her lip and gave her a meaningful look that made her scalp tingle and her hair stand on end.
Back in her seat, her classmates gathered around again. "Qin, what did you talk about with Xu Zhe? He didn't mean any harm by preparing those books for you; he was just genuinely concerned about you."
"Yes! It's such an honor to have a boy fall head over heels in love with you! Haven't you ever thought about accepting him?"
Yi Tianran rested her chin on her hand and thought for a while, her tone ambiguous: "Originally, I preferred older men because I felt that they made me feel safe. But after the danger last night, and after feeling Xu Zhe's thoughtfulness and protection for me just now, my heart has really wavered."
The students' eyes lit up, their gossip-loving spirits burning brightly: "What? So, you're going to accept Xu Zhe's confession?"
Yi Tianran's eyebrows twitched slightly. After pondering for a moment, she said casually, "Perhaps I should really consider it!"
The moment she finished speaking, Chu Yinyin slammed her hand on the table. Her palm was in excruciating pain, and her eyes were bloodshot, but this was nothing compared to the agony in her heart.
She seemed unable to bear it any longer, as if she would suffocate if she stayed any longer, and immediately ran out.
Xu Jiaying and Cheng Lu exchanged glances and silently followed.
Yi Tianran watched their departing figures with great interest, a dark glint flashing in her eyes.
A classmate comforted her, "Qin Yao, don't pay attention to that lunatic. She's just jealous that you got the favor of your crush. Everyone knows she's crazy about Xu Zhe. Whenever someone confesses to him, she either mocks them, threatens them, or even hits them. She doesn't have the courage to confess herself, or she knows she'll be rejected, so she won't allow anyone else to like him. She's like a stalker. Being stalked by her is the worst luck imaginable!"
"Oh? So she likes Xu Zhe that much." Yi Tianran smiled coolly.
How can you be so impatient? You're such a useless piece of trash!
...
Over the next two days, rumors about "Qin Yao and Xu Zhe" circulated throughout the school.
Some say they saw the two of them walking hand in hand, chatting and laughing on campus.
Some people also saw Qin Yao hugging Xu Zhe and resting her head on Xu Zhe's knees.
