Chapter 48 Because of You

Normally 1500 is not a lot for Lin Shuliang, but her hand was injured, so it was still a bit difficult for her to write. The place where she had casually bandaged it was bleeding, and she was grimacing in pain.

Luo Yun saw her still working hard in the self-study class and thought she was rushing to finish some homework. "Is there some new homework that I don't know about? Why are you always writing?"

Lin Shuliang shook her hands and said, "No, it's a self-criticism written for Shen Xinghe."

"You are still in charge of this?" Luo Yun said in surprise.

"You don't understand. Shen Xinghe has helped me with many things. I can only help him as much as I can. I feel like he doesn't usually need my help, but it just so happens that I can help with this matter."

"What if he wrote it himself?"

"Hmm..." Lin Shuliang thought for a moment, "Then save it for next time? Haha..."

Luo Yun saw that her hand was bleeding. "Your hand is like this, but you still help him write. It seems that your revolutionary friendship is very deep! How about I do it? Your hand is not convenient."

Lin Shuliang shook her head. "It's okay since there aren't many left. If the handwriting is different, then all the writing will be in vain."

Luo Yun nodded and said, "Then be careful not to get your hands scratched."

As soon as class was over, Lin Shuliang took the written apology to find Shen Xinghe. He was doing a homework assignment. Lin Shuliang's elbow was on the windowsill. She forgot that her hand was injured and quickly pulled it back because of the pain. "What are you doing?"

He had bruises on his face, which looked funny, especially since he was so serious. "Doing math problems."

"Have you finished writing your self-review?"

"Xu Chen told you?" Shen Xinghe asked.

"Um."

He glanced at Xu Chen and said, "You talk too much, but it's not a very glorious thing."

Lin Shuliang was a person who could not talk nonsense. She put the apology on his desk and said, "I guess you haven't written it yet. I wrote it for you. Thank me very much."

Shen Xinghe was stunned for a moment, "If I remember correctly, you broke your right hand, right?"

"Yes! But I thought you didn't have time, and you, a science student, are not good at this, so I wrote it for you." She said in a proud tone.

"Stupid." Shen Xinghe spat out a word and tucked the self-review into the book. "Did you write one for Xu Chen as well?"

"..." Lin Shuliang rolled her eyes, "Are you crazy? Xu Chen is fine, I can't write anything. I wrote it so sincerely, you can take a look at it yourself, if not, you have to write another one yourself."

That's more like it. Shen Xinghe remained calm and said, "I'll treat your wound later to prevent it from getting infected."

"Okay, let's go." Lin Shuliang left.

Shen Xinghe watched her walk away, and opened the half-written paper in the desk box, which was a letter of apology.

He flattened the paper and put it inside the book to press it down. He also put the copy that Lin Shuliang gave him in the pocket of his schoolbag.

Shen Xinghe, who was the most serious student in math class, was obviously absent-minded in this class. He looked up from time to time, then lowered his head again, and it was unclear what he was writing.

The math teacher couldn't stand it any longer, "Shen Xinghe, come up and do this problem."

He closed the book, glanced at it, and went up to solve the problem.

The math teacher was very pleased and asked, "Tell me, what did you write below?"

"A letter of apology." He answered honestly.

The audience below burst into laughter, and Xu Chen was also writing. I couldn't help but admire his courage.

The math teacher was furious, but couldn't lose his temper. Looking at his injured face, he couldn't help but say, "Go down and listen carefully."

"Thank you, teacher." Shen Xinghe returned to his seat.

During the evening study session, his deskmate saw a self-review under his desk, picked it up and said, "You already have one, why are you writing another one?"

Shen Xinghe took the apology letter and said, "I like to back up everything."

“……”Okay, this is very academic.

When they went to hand in their self-reviews, only the Dean of Studies was there. He read the two people's self-reviews and said, "Not bad, well-summarized and profound. But, Shen Xinghe, isn't your paper too shabby? It's so ugly."

He wrote half of it, crumpled it up and threw it away. "I didn't do it by accident."

"You can't have that when you want to do that and can't find any paper, so you want to use this?" Xu Chen added insult to injury.

"That" has many interpretations, especially for boys, it has a richer meaning. The Dean of Education is also a man. He glanced at Xu Chen and said, "Speak properly! You are talking nonsense."

After teaching them a lesson for a while, he said, "That's enough. Go out and see if you guys fight again in the future."

Xu Chen was secretly delighted and walked out quickly.

Shen Xinghe was not walking fast, so Xu Chen went back and said, "Shen Xinghe, you need to explain to me why you took action today, right?"

"It seems that you have no self-awareness at all. Don't you know what you have done?"

Xu Chen heard him say this and probably knew what was going on, but he still acted like a rogue, "What did I do?"

Shen Xinghe sneered, "You and Lin Shuliang have never met before, why are you chasing her so hard this semester? If I remember correctly, you picked a fight with me for no apparent reason during a basketball game. Who was it because of?"

Of course it was because of Li Panxi, Shen Xinghe didn't say it explicitly.

"Are you changing your mind so quickly? Or is it because you are falling in love with someone else?" Shen Xinghe asked him back.

This statement couldn't be made any more obvious, and Xu Chen's arrogance subsided a little. "I admit that at first..."

"Just admit it. It means I didn't hit the wrong person today."

After saying that, Shen Xinghe strode forward.

Xu Chen shouted behind him, "Shen Xinghe, I fought with you because of Li Panxi because I liked her. Why did you fight with me today because of Lin Shuliang?"

Shen Xinghe stopped and turned to look at Xu Chen. "No matter what the reason is, it's not as dirty as your starting point."

"You are so funny. I haven't even finished my sentence yet, how do you know that I am dirty?"

Shen Xinghe didn't want to argue with him meaninglessly, so he glanced at him and turned away.

He saw Lin Shuliang waiting for him downstairs, "You can go to the car first, it's so cold."

"It's okay. Did you hand it in? Did the teacher notice that it wasn't your handwriting?"

Shen Xinghe's eyes dodged for a moment, "No, it's just a formality. Let's go, so that Auntie won't have to wait for a long time."

When Cheng Lin saw the bruises on Shen Xinghe's face, she asked, "Did you have a fight with someone?"

Lin Shuliang fanned the flames, "Don't tell me, when Shen Xinghe starts to fight, it really looks like this."

Cheng Lin gently touched his wound. "Are you okay? Have you applied medicine? Will it get inflamed? It looks like there's no bone injury, right?"

Lin Shuliang felt a little regretful. She shouldn't have fanned the flames. She forgot that her mother was a person with excessive maternal love.

Moreover, Shen Xinghe was a cold-faced person and didn't like others to touch him, so he must be unhappy. She was about to say something when she heard Shen Xinghe say, "It doesn't hurt. Boys have a special way of communicating. It's just a joke. It's okay."

Such patience! Lin Shuliang was shocked, "Mom, drive home quickly."

Cheng Lin came back to her senses, "Yes, let's go back and boil an egg to apply to the wound, it will be good for the wound."

I can't believe this is her own mother. She didn't even notice the injury on her hand...

As soon as they got home, Cheng Lin immediately went to boil eggs. They did their homework and soon handed a peeled egg to Shen Xinghe, "Apply it. It should be a little less scarred by tomorrow. Don't leave any scars on such a handsome face."

Lin Shuliang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mom. The guy he fought with wasn't bad looking and was injured too. He won't suffer any loss."

If Xu Chen heard this, he would probably laugh for the whole day.

Shen Xinghe turned his head and looked at her without saying anything.

Cheng Lin brought the medical kit over and said, "Come here, you have the nerve to do that. What's wrong with your hand?"

Thinking that she didn't see it, Lin Shuliang ran over and said, "I'm telling you, I'm your biological daughter after all, how could you not see that I'm injured?"

"What's wrong with you?"

"I just rubbed it against the wall by accident. Hurry up and help me paint it off. I still have to do my homework." If she said she was beaten, her mother would probably find Xu Chen right away and tear him to pieces.

They were talking and laughing, and Shen Xinghe was looking at them. Lin Shuliang happened to see him, and he immediately looked away.

Was that look of envy? Lin Shuliang wasn't sure.

Later, Lin Shuliang was sure that it must be a jealous look, otherwise he wouldn't be so heartbroken and kept asking Lin Shuliang to do math problems and be so fierce.

Then he asked directly: "Was it your head or your hand that you fell today?"

Lin Shuliang was angry and deliberately put her hand on his face, "I think it's you who hit your head! It's obviously a negative sign here, why did you write it as a positive sign? I'll just kill you in pain."

As he said this, he applied a third of his strength to the injured area.

All of Shen Xinghe's senses were concentrated on the piece of skin covered by her hand, as if his body temperature was expanding with an infinite radius with that place as the center, making him become abnormal.

Even when Lin Shuliang poked him, he didn't react.

Seeing that he was acting strangely, Lin Shuliang said, "It seems like you really hit your head."

Shen Xinghe came to his senses, took the notebook, and as if to cover up his guilt, he tapped Lin Shuliang on the head and said, "Are you stupid? Why did I change it to a positive sign? Because there is a negative sign before the parenthesis, and negatives equal positives. I see that you are bad at math to begin with, and you can't even get that mark on such a basic question, you're basically screwed."

"How can you be like this! I even wrote a self-criticism for you today."

"I think you just wrote too many self-criticisms and showed off your skills. The dean even praised you for your profound thoughts." He couldn't help feeling guilty when he said this.

Lin Shuliang glared at him, "I've never seen someone as ungrateful and ignorant of kindness as you."

"If you can't solve this problem, I will let you know what it means to repay kindness with enmity." Shen Xinghe said with a wry smile.

Lin Shuliang was angry, but she still had to do the questions.

After solving it several times in a row, I finally got it right.

Lin Shuliang thought she could take a break, so she stretched her back and said, "Let's talk about why you fought with Xu Chen today. Don't tell me, I've never seen you fight before."

Shen Xinghe was helping her correct her homework and whispered, "That's just because you don't know."

"What?"

"Nothing."

"I asked you why you fought with Xu Chen."

“Because of you.”

The atmosphere fell into dead silence, and Lin Shuliang stared at him with wide eyes.
