"bump."
The sound of metal falling to the ground was particularly jarring in the noisy cafeteria.
Xia Shizhao stared in astonishment at his reddened hand, then looked up blankly at Ye Qiuling.
Why did you suddenly hit her? It hurt so much.
Ye Qiuling gave her a deep look, said nothing, and left the cafeteria.
Seeing the slightly swollen back of her hand, Mu Qinwan jumped up and down in anger, shouting:
"What do you mean? Your sister kindly put food on your plate and you didn't want it? Fine, fine, but why did you hit her?! And so hard!!!"
Other people in the cafeteria were also discussing it.
Sitting blankly in her seat, Xia Shizhao felt inexplicably wronged. She was doing things she didn't like, and she was being shocked, bitten, and hit. She really just wanted to serve her some food. She hadn't even started to stage an accident yet, but she had been shocked several times because of this, and it hurt terribly.
Tears welled up in her eyes, making Mu Qinwan, who was standing to the side, feel heartbroken.
Xia Shizhao sniffed, pursed his lips, lowered his head, and led the person away from there.
——Medical Room
"You're going too far, sister who just got back!"
After applying the medicine, Mu Qinwan continued to berate Ye Qiuling.
Xia Shizhao pursed his lips. "It's not her fault." He paused for a moment and then said, "It was my fault for not placing it securely."
Then, looking down at her slightly swollen wrist with a dejected expression.
"You'd already put the plate on the table, and she just slammed it down like that. That takes a lot of force. I'm really impressed."
After listening to Mu Qinwan's nonsense for a while, Zhan Nan gave her a tap on the head, quickly pulled her out, and said to Xia Shizhao in the infirmary, "Zhaozhao, take a rest. If you feel unwell, just message us. We're leaving now."
"Okay, you guys go eat quickly, don't go hungry."
After speaking, Xia Shizhao smiled gently and watched them leave.
The system subtly called out to Xia Shizhao several times, but found that she ignored it.
Xia Shizhao hugged her pillow and cried uncontrollably, feeling wronged. Hearing the system's voice made her feel even more wronged. If it weren't for it, she wouldn't be like this now.
If I hadn't thought about it, I would have been fine, but once I started thinking about it, I burst into tears and started cursing the system.
The system, feeling guilty, remained silent.
Hidden deep inside, Xia Shizhao spoke up, "Sister, don't cry, you'll be sent to solitary confinement."
"?"
Xia Shizhao stopped, sniffed, and asked, "Why were you sent there?"
"If you cry, you'll make Mommy angry, and if Mommy gets angry, you'll have to go inside."
Before I could ask her anything, she went silent again.
Xia Shizhao wasn't so sad after being interrupted like this. Instead, he had some doubts about the original owner's past experiences. Wasn't the original owner supposed to be very pampered from childhood to adulthood? How could he have been locked in a dark room? And judging from the original owner's appearance, it wasn't just once.
When I asked the system, it hesitated for a long time before finally saying it didn't know.
Xia Shizhao was speechless: What use are you? You weren't there when I asked for help, and now you don't even know what happened to the original owner! Aren't you in charge of managing the novel worlds?
System: I only know the main plot, not the rest, but no matter what, I will protect you, don't worry.
Xia Shizhao rolled his eyes: What about the original owner?
System: The plot dictates that she has to die, it has nothing to do with you.
Xia Shizhao searched for something in the space for a long time but couldn't find it. Finally, in a fit of anger, he grabbed a book and threw it into the air.
The system sighed, sensing that she had gotten angry for no apparent reason; a woman's heart was truly unfathomable.
Ye Qiuling knocked over Xia Shizhao's plate in the cafeteria, and the idle students quickly spread the news.
"You're bullying Zhaozhao?"
A boy appeared aggressively in front of Ye Qiuling's desk.
Ye Qiuling looked at him coldly and laughed disdainfully, "Another dog standing up for her?"
"Watch your mouth! Who are you calling a dog?"
The classmates, always eager for a good show, egged them on, saying, "Let's have a fight! Whoever loses is a dog!"
The boy looked at Ye Qiuling with disdain, then turned to look at the people behind him, mocking them:
"I don't hit women, especially not a beta. How could she possibly beat me?"
Ye Qiuling, who was sitting in her seat, suddenly moved, swung her chair and smashed it down on him, cracking his skull open. The boy touched the blood on his head, and with an incredulous expression, Ye Qiuling couldn't help but laugh out loud, "What a coincidence, I hit both men and women."
There was a moment of silence in the class, followed by excited applause.
Some people were even shouting, "Let's fight! Let's fight!"
The tough fear the ruthless, and the ruthless fear the reckless. Ye Qiuling's fighting techniques were all learned from her time in the slums, and each move she made was more ruthless than the last.
Although the boy who started the trouble was an alpha from an ordinary family, he had never suffered much hardship and was quickly frightened. Before long, he ran away, clutching his nose that was bleeding profusely.
The students who had watched the spectacle dispersed, and Ye Qiuling, unfazed, came out of the classroom, casually wiped the blood from her nose, and went to the infirmary.
Medical room.
Xia Shizhao was sleeping soundly in bed when she heard the school nurse scolding her: "How many times has this happened? Why are you always getting into fights? Is someone bullying you? Your face is almost disfigured. Are you alright?"
Peeking through the curtains at the people outside, Xia Shizhao sat stiffly on the bed. How could Ye Qiuling have been beaten like this? Her lips and eyes were bruised.
Ye Qiuling shook her head without saying a word, then collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Xia Shizhao quickly got out of bed to help her, "What's wrong with Teacher?"
"Let me see, don't panic!"
The medical staff member frowned as they scanned her body with the equipment. They rolled up her sleeves to reveal bruises all over her body. Enraged, they exclaimed, "Malnutrition is one thing! But how did you get beaten up like this?"
The teacher stormed out. Xia Shizhao looked at the unreliable medical teacher, gently placed Ye Qiuling's head on his knees, and was glad that he had brought a few bottles of medicine with him.
After administering the medicine, they laboriously carried the person to the bed and then tiptoed out of the clinic.
"Hello!"
A hand landed on Xia Shizhao's shoulder, startling him so much that he jumped back in his tracks.
She turned her head and saw Si Qingyue. She patted her chest to calm her racing heart: "You scared me. What's wrong?"
Si Qingyue showed a hint of apology on her face, and said with concern, "Sorry, I wasn't paying attention. You seemed a bit suspicious. By the way, is your hand alright?"
Xia Shizhao felt a little embarrassed upon hearing the word "sneaky," and looked up at his wrist, which was slightly red. "It's nothing serious."
"Then why are you still crying?"
"I cried because of something else..."
"Really? Then you'd better stop your friend."
Xia Shizhao tilted his head in confusion, then suddenly realized something, his face filled with panic, and he took off running, disappearing from Si Qingyue's sight in an instant. "They said..."
Watching Xia Shizhao disappear in an instant, Si Qingyue rested her chin on her hand and pondered for a while. "How can an omega run so fast?"
Shaking her head, she thought, "Never mind, her message has arrived. Judging from Xia Shizhao's anxious appearance, the situation at the restaurant is probably just because her older sister doesn't like her, which is why things have turned out this way."
She couldn't help but laugh at herself for overthinking things; not everyone is as cunning and deceitful as her family.
