Chapter 11 You Have a Cat
Occasionally, this seemingly innocent girl is actually quite wicked.
Perhaps it could be said that her badness was only fully exposed in front of him.
Lu Jin couldn't understand what she meant by his special feelings for her—was it just a passing interest, or some other impossible possibility?
On the way back to the classroom, she pushed his wheelchair, and the little yellow flower returned to his hand, which, in her words, was to let him keep it for a while.
She seemed to be in a good mood, humming an off-key tune the whole way. It wasn't unpleasant to listen to, but of course, I couldn't lie and say it was pleasant.
The quiet, deserted tree-lined path seemed to be a gift from heaven, creating conditions specifically for their solitude.
Lu Jin suddenly said, "You can tell the teacher you want to change your deskmate."
Xia Zhen asked curiously, "Why did I have to tell the teacher I wanted to change deskmates?"
"I'm not an easy person to get along with." He has always had a fairly clear understanding of himself. He is not likable. Otherwise, his parents wouldn't dislike him so much. He is aloof and can't get close to anyone. The longer people stay around him, the more they feel that he is hopeless.
Xia Zhen raised her eyebrows and said, "But you have a cat."
He slightly raised his head, and the coat covering him shifted, revealing his clear eyes.
Xia Zhen said in a serious tone, "People who own cats are generally lucky, so you've met such a good deskmate like me."
As a result, her words turned into self-praise.
He was speechless.
Xia Zhen laughed out loud. She reached out and straightened the coat covering him, and said with a smile, "You see, even if you disagree with me, you don't say anything to refute me. If you're not easy to get along with, then there's no one easy to get along with in this world."
After she steered the conversation in a different direction, she somehow managed to bring it back.
Xia Zhen bent down, brought her face close to his, and smiled, "Lu Jin, you're very good."
Lu Jin quickly lowered his head, as if that way no one would notice his red ears.
Xia Zhen is right, he really is a good person.
The moment she learned his name, she remembered his identity in this world of romance novels.
Lu Jin, a boy with a congenital disease, has snow-white hair and jade-like skin. He lives in a silent world, as if he has locked himself in an iron cage.
Originally, there was nothing wrong with his legs, but an accident when he was eight years old made his life even more miserable.
That year, when the girl next door was about to be hit by a car on the road, he rushed out to save her and was injured in the process. Since then, he has been unable to stand up.
The girl's family gave the Lu family a large sum of money and moved away quickly. Lu Jin, who was not talkative to begin with, became even more withdrawn. He was just a minor supporting character in the story. The original text did not use much ink to describe him. It is only known that in his few appearances, his poor health was highlighted.
Nearly ten years later, the girl contacted him.
Yes, this girl is the female lead, Tang Susu.
Having become a wealthy heiress, Tang Susu naturally wanted to spend money to cure the person who had helped her. Moreover, because of the life-saving grace, Tang Susu harbored a special feeling for Lu Jin, which naturally aroused the jealousy of the male lead and other male supporting characters.
In the original text, to highlight the male lead's deep love for Tang Susu, a scene was specially arranged where the male lead found Lu Jin in the ward.
The male lead is very cultured, but he hides a knife behind his smile. On one hand, he generously says that he will spend money to hire the best doctor for him, while on the other hand, he secretly warns him not to try to get close to Tang Susu by taking advantage of past favors.
In the end, Lu Jin's condition worsened, and he did not survive that summer.
This summer...
Xia Zhen thought of the pink-themed game that was forced to exist on her phone, the little Snow White in the black room, and wondered if it had any connection with the person in front of her.
We arrived at the classroom, but the students who were supposed to have PE class hadn't returned yet.
Once seated, Lu Jin took off his coat. "Your clothes..."
Xia Zhen took the coat without hesitation and put it back on.
As Lu Jin watched her nimble movements, his ears inexplicably burned. What he didn't say was that her clothes might still have his scent on them.
Xia Zhen took the little yellow flower from his hand and placed it on the table against the stack of books. She admired it for a while, and when she looked at him again, she gave him a sweet smile. "Does it look nice like this?"
He was silent for a moment, then said, "It looks good."
"You make it sound beautiful..." She braced herself on his desk, her eyes narrowed, a mischievous smile playing on her lips. Her high ponytail made her pretty face appear even more youthful and lively. "Are you referring to the flowers, or the person?"
Lu Jin withdrew his gaze from her face and calmly uttered a single word: "Flower."
Xia Zhen stopped laughing and muttered, "She has no taste."
But soon she laughed again, picked up her schoolbag, unzipped it, and dumped a bunch of things onto his desk.
Without exception, it was all food.
Her schoolbag was so heavy; it turned out it wasn't filled with books, but with food.
Because the desk was piled high with cookies, several packets of cookies rolled onto Lu Jin's lap.
He picked up the cookie that had fallen on his lap, then looked up at the girl beside him.
The boy was wearing a blue and white school uniform with Chinese characteristics. Most people would look like a bucket in such loose clothes, but he looked exceptionally clean and refreshing in them.
Especially when a faint sense of bewilderment appeared in his light-colored eyes, he finally showed some of the vitality of a young man, which made his features appear even more aloof and otherworldly, making him more likable.
Xia Zhen grinned, "You promised to bribe me, so I'll give you half of my snacks."
He said, "I don't need it."
“No way, I always keep my word.” Xia Zhen sat down in the chair and began to divide the snacks on the table. “This is yours, this is mine, this is yours, and this one is for me…”
Lu Jin watched as the girl's hand moved around several times, until finally her table was piled high with candy and chocolate, while his table was left with all sorts of bread and cookies.
He looked at her.
She blinked her big eyes. "Eating too many sweet things is bad for your health, so I'll eat them all for you so you don't have to worry about getting cavities."
She's so thoughtful.
Lu Jin still wanted to say that he didn't need the food.
But she had already picked up the small flowers over there. "You gave me flowers, so consider this my return gift."
She then pressed the flower against the side of her face and asked him with a smile, "Is the flower prettier, or am I prettier?"
His lips twitched slightly.
Her smile grew even warmer. "Think it over before you answer."
Lu Jin: "...You."
