Chapter 67 Beauty is a Curse
Whether Xia Zhen will eventually have the chance to tell Lu Jin this earth-shattering gossip is a secret between the two of them.
At this senior high school assembly, Lu Jin became the representative to speak. Logically speaking, he would have absolutely no interest in participating in such a high-profile event, but it is unknown whether he has changed his mind. When Teacher Wen informed him that he would speak as a representative, he did not refuse.
Lu Jin has a special physical condition and cannot be exposed to the sun. Some teachers were worried that the assembly might be bad for his health, but the principal made the decision to move the assembly, which usually starts at 8:00, to 7:40. He also changed the order of speaking, putting Lu Jin on stage before several school directors.
Even though all the students knew that there was an albino patient in their school who was in a wheelchair, many of those who were unprepared were still surprised to see him go up to the podium to speak.
All the whispers were silenced again under the warning glances of the homeroom teachers who were guarding the classrooms.
Xia Zhen was standing in the crowd. Originally, according to her height, she should have been in the middle of the line, but the class monitor said that the girl standing at the front had a cold and couldn't stand the wind, so she switched places with Xia Zhen.
The healthy girl: "Huh?"
The class representative for Chinese language nudged her from behind, and she realized what was happening. She quickly switched seats with Xia Zhen.
Ms. Wen turned a blind eye, pretending not to see the girls' little interaction.
Xia Zhen successfully stood in the closest place to him. If it weren't for the school rules, she really wanted to take out her phone and record the boy's first speech on stage!
Despite being the center of attention, Lu Jin was not intimidated. He read his prepared speech clearly and powerfully. This white-clad young man, who did not care about other people's opinions, truly seemed to be shining.
"Am I blind? I actually think Lu Jin is quite handsome."
"Yes, why didn't I feel this way before?"
"Oh no, I suddenly feel like I've become a white-haired fetishist."
...
Xia Zhen glanced back.
The girls quickly shut their mouths, not daring to say another word.
What's the use of being handsome?
They couldn't compete with this goddess-level Miss Xia.
Even at that high vantage point, under the gaze of hundreds of people, he could still accurately capture the girl's unique gaze.
She pursed her lips, and it was unclear why she was unhappy.
Of course, Miss Xia always has a reason for throwing a tantrum, and even if she doesn't, she's definitely right.
Lu Jin suppressed the smile in his eyes, thinking that he would go and coax this young lady after it was over.
Perhaps because Lu Jin was the most special of all the speakers in history, he was greeted with the warmest applause after he finished his closing remarks.
For some reason, Ms. Wen's eyes welled up with tears. The teacher next to her patted her on the shoulder and said, "This child will become even better."
Teacher Wen nodded, "Yes, he will get better."
Without thinking, Teacher Wen looked at Xia Zhen, who was clapping the most enthusiastically, and suddenly smiled.
Everyone will be better off.
Lu Jin went back to the classroom first, while the others had to wait until the assembly ended.
The director of political education delivered a motivational speech as usual, and then announced that a sports meet would be held soon, which excited many people.
After the rally ended and the group dispersed, some people still walked together in twos and threes, discussing the sports meet.
A boy in the second year of high school, whose class I don't know, sneered, "I heard that cripple did very well on the last monthly exam, and even gave a speech on stage today. He really stole the show."
The people around him chimed in, "If he's so capable, he should go to the sports meet and participate in a running race and win first place. Let's not even talk about 1,000 meters, even 50 meters would be fine."
"Haha, you're really mean!"
Another person said sourly, "I heard that the school beauty in their class is getting very close to him. I wonder what she sees in him?"
"Could it be his embarrassing past? Like what Lu Ci said..."
Before the man finished speaking, several boys were suddenly drenched from head to toe by a bucket of water.
The boys were stunned for a moment.
Everyone around stopped in their tracks.
Especially the girl next to me who was cleaning and hadn't returned her tools yet, suddenly had her trash can full of dirty water snatched away, leaving her completely bewildered.
Everyone looked at the girl carrying the bucket.
One of the people who got wet shouted excitedly, "What are you doing!"
Xia Zhen smiled slightly, "Some people are emitting a foul odor that pollutes the air, so I kindly let them take a shower, which can be considered as making a small contribution to global environmental hygiene."
The boys didn't care that Xia Zhen was a delicate beauty; they were only angry and embarrassed because they felt they had lost face.
One person shouted, "Are you crazy?!"
Before he could push Xia Zhen away, another older boy jumped out and said, "What's wrong? Are you bullying someone from our class?"
"Are you blind?! She started it!"
Another boy stood up and said, "If you didn't talk badly about Lu Jin from our class, would you have gotten so soaked?"
"Just because Lu Jin in our class has a good temper doesn't mean we all have good tempers!"
"You have mouths but don't speak properly; spilling water on you is the least you can do!"
In an instant, several boys from Class 1 of Senior Three stepped forward and shielded Xia Zhen behind them. Normally, Class 1 was considered bookworms by other classes, but now they were showing no mercy.
These few people who stood up had previously argued over Lu Jin's notes.
On the second-year high school side, these guys' classmates also gathered around. Before anyone could figure out what was going on, the boys who had been soaked by the water suddenly started fighting.
On the senior day, the math class representative from Class 1 watched anxiously from the sidelines. He asked his deskmate, "What should we do?"
The class representative for Chinese looked at Gao Ling, "Class monitor, what should we do?"
There are more and more people in the second year of high school, and some of them are going to suffer.
Gao Ling's face was expressionless; she simply uttered three words: "Take care of them."
"Did you hear that? Get them!" The Chinese class representative shoved the math class representative next to him out.
The math class representative stumbled and almost fell; he had already been drawn into the fray, and this frail boy had no choice but to join the battle.
Immediately, the boys in Class 1 of Senior Three seemed to have received some kind of imperial decree, and they all rushed out impatiently.
Xia Zhen was pushed further and further back, and to be honest, she was still a little dazed.
In the chaos, just as a high school sophomore was about to punch her, a strong hand grabbed his wrist.
Those were the girl's hands.
The girl with wavy hair clicked her tongue. "I haven't even made a move yet, and you dare to beat me to it?"
She's the leader of the Queen's Group!
The boy was trembling all over and was thrown to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw.
Lu Wang casually pushed Xia Zhen out of the fighting area. She rolled up her sleeves and charged into the most intense central area of the battle with a terrifying aura that could kill anyone who stood in her way.
Suddenly, some people were shouting and yelling, while others were clamoring to quickly call the teacher; it was incredibly lively.
Xia Zhen, this delicate and frail young lady, was pushed further and further away by everyone in a tacit manner, until she retreated to the outermost edge and leaned against the wall.
To be honest, she, who was usually fearless, suddenly felt a little apprehensive.
She turned around and saw the person in the wheelchair in the window.
Lu Jin stared blankly outside; the scene was completely incomprehensible to him.
She knocked on the window, drawing his attention.
There was a hint of confusion in his clear eyes, like a lost traveler hoping she would show him the only right way.
Xia Zhen smiled and mouthed, "Red, beauty, disaster, water."
It remains unknown who this scourge is referring to.
