Chapter 9
Yu Zhuo, in tears, called Yu Cheng who was still working overtime.
After listening to his son's accusation, Yu Zhuo was silent for a long time, then sighed and said, "It's already bought, forget it. I'll buy you a laptop when Dad gets his year-end bonus this year."
Yu Zhuo was furious: "Is this just a computer issue? This is a matter of principle! If she continues like this, today an old classmate will sell insurance, and tomorrow an old friend will sell health care. Who knows how many times she will be deceived!"
Yu Cheng could hear the sound of typing from the other end. He was still working overtime. He said slowly, "Just think of it as giving your mother some peace of mind. Ever since your aunt's family had an accident, she has been worried and can't sleep well at night. She's worried that if something happens to her or me, you'll be left alone and helpless, unable to grow up on your own. It's good to buy some insurance. If something really happens, at least you'll have some protection."
Yu Zhuo stopped talking.
He was still young and had the mentality of a child. Although the accident of his aunt's family shocked him greatly, he had no other thoughts except sadness and the determination to take good care of his sister.
But after experiencing this blow, Mr. and Mrs. Yu Cheng had to re-examine their seemingly ordinary lives.
You will never know how terrible an accident is until you see it destroy a warm and beautiful family.
I watched with my own eyes Qi Ying, who once had a bright future, fall from the clouds into the abyss, and from a sunny and smiling girl to an orphan who could neither speak nor listen.
No one knows whether she really survived or if she is just a suppressed volcano that will erupt one day.
Yu Zhuo hung up the phone.
Wu Yinghua had already put the food on the table and shouted at him to wash his hands and eat. Qi Ying was beside him, obediently placing chopsticks and bowls. Yu Zhuo liked to drink soup while eating, so she even brought him a bowl for soup.
Yu Zhuo thought about what his father said, then looked at Qi Ying and secretly clenched his fists in his heart.
His sister is such a good girl, she must not let that bastard Ji Rang harm her!
After dinner, Yu Zhuo returned to the room and sent a message to Yang Xinyuan, asking him to keep an eye on Ji Rang's movements. Yang Xinyuan's nickname was Yang Wanli, and he was known for being able to get first-hand information from thousands of miles away without leaving his house. After all, he had joined 200 QQ groups.
Yang Xinyuan made a forehead-holding expression: Why do you always pick on him? This guy is really hard to mess with. You were lucky to escape unscathed last time. Do you really want to be beaten into the ICU by him?
Yu Zhuo: Just pay attention if I ask you to, why so much nonsense!
Yang Xinyuan: Brother, if you continue like this I will start to suspect that you are interested in Ji Rang.
Yu Zhuo: I think you fucking want me to beat you into the ICU.
Yang Xinyuan: …
Tomorrow is Friday and the school has a rule that students don't have to wear school uniforms. Before going to bed, Wu Yinghua prepared clothes for Yu Zhuo and Qi Ying respectively.
She found a short-sleeved dress that she had bought at the mall not long ago, had it ironed, and asked Qi Ying to try it on.
The white skirt with small floral embroidery on the hem made her look both fairer and slimmer. Qi Ying looked just as beautiful in it as she had imagined.
Wu Yinghua was still admiring her eyes with satisfaction. When Yu Zhuo came out after brushing his teeth, he saw Qi Ying's long white legs and slender waist at a glance, and immediately said in dissatisfaction: "This skirt is not good-looking at all!"
Wu Yinghua glared at him and said, "What do you know? Go to sleep!"
Yu Zhuo insisted: "Change her clothes into pants, they really don't look good! Who would dress like that nowadays? It's too unfashionable!"
Wu Yinghua was skeptical and began to doubt her own aesthetic taste, "Really?"
Yu Zhuo nodded firmly: "Really! Nowadays girls like to wear T-shirts with jeans, simple, generous and elegant!"
Wu Yinghua turned around and looked at Qi Ying a few more times. After hearing what his son said, he really felt that she was not as pretty as before.
When he woke up the next morning, Yu Zhuo saw Qi Ying walking out of the bedroom in a T-shirt and jeans, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
When I arrived at the school, I saw flowers in full bloom.
There is only one day like this in a week, and the girls all try their best to dress themselves up within the scope allowed by school rules. Qi Ying's outfit is very ordinary and nothing eye-catching, so naturally fewer people look at her.
Yu Zhuo was very satisfied with this.
And I gave myself a thumbs up for my cleverness in my heart.
Someone behind him called his brother and chased him. Yu Zhuo's shoulder was patted, and Yue Li, who was wearing an overalls skirt, stood behind him panting: "Why didn't you answer when I called you?"
Yu Zhuo's eyes twitched and he didn't say anything.
Fortunately, Yue Li quickly diverted her attention and stared at Qi Ying with round eyes: "Yingying, why are you wearing pants? Didn't we agree yesterday that we would wear skirts together today and go shopping in Silver Elephant City after school?"
Although I couldn't hear her, I knew what she was talking about by looking at Yue Li's expression. Qi Ying felt a little embarrassed, looked at her apologetically, took out her phone and typed, "I'm sorry, it was my aunt who chose the dress for me, I will definitely wear the dress with you next week."
Yu Zhuo glanced at the content on the screen and gave Yue Li a cold look: "Her legs are so thick, and she's still wearing a skirt."
Yue Li exploded instantly: "Who are you saying has thick legs?!"
Yu Zhuo: “…”
Girls who don’t want to face reality are so scary. Just run away.
Yue Li walked angrily with Qi Ying to the classroom. When they entered the teaching building, the handsome physical education teacher Shen Yue came towards them. Yue Li's expression was a little nervous and a little shy.
Shen Yue saw her and smiled, obviously recognizing this student. Yue Li greeted her in a low voice: "Hello, Teacher Shen."
Shen Yue smiled and nodded: "Good morning." His smile was bright, like the morning sun, "The overalls are very cute."
Yue Li's ears turned red, and she hurried upstairs holding Qi Ying, who was still waving to Teacher Shen.
When they arrived at the classroom, all the girls in the class gathered around the cultural and arts committee member Zhao Dunan, discussing with envy the skirt she was wearing, which was said to have been bought by her aunt from the United States.
Yue Li doesn't like Zhao Dunan and always thinks she is pretending. Moreover, she was the class beauty last year. When Qi Ying came this semester, everyone said that the class beauty should be replaced. Zhao Dunan has put on a bad face in front of Qi Ying several times, which makes Yue Li so angry that she wants to bite her.
Seeing the two of them come in, Zhao Dunan's eyes swept up and down Qi Ying, and his face had that winning look again, which was annoying just by looking at it.
Yue Li put down her schoolbag and went out to get her homework while deliberately chatting loudly with Huang Botong, the study committee member sitting behind her: "I just saw Xue Manqing at the school gate. She was wearing a limited edition of XX. And the group of girls around her, the logos of the luxury goods were shining in the sun, and they looked really good."
Huang Botong raised his head from the test paper and pushed the black-framed glasses hanging on his nose: "Ah?"
Zhao Dunan also heard it, and said to her sarcastically: "Some high school students nowadays are not very good at studying, but they are very competitive. They kneel down and lick luxury goods when they see them. Tsk, they have to be able to afford it themselves."
Yue Li turned around and smiled, revealing two deep dimples: "I can't afford it. After all, I don't have an aunt in the United States to buy it for me."
Zhao Dunan: “You!”
Liu Qinghua, the head teacher, walked in from the door, holding a stack of test papers in his hands: "Everyone sit down, there will be a test during the morning self-study class."
The classroom finally became quiet.
Yue Li put away the textbooks and reminded Qi Ying, who was still studying hard, that she would have to take an in-class exam.
She suddenly felt that sometimes it was actually good not to be able to hear.
At least the malicious intent you receive will be reduced by half.
The last class in the morning was biology. The biology teacher was a man in his twenties who had just graduated. He was a very nice person. Whenever he taught the last class, he would let the class go two minutes early so that everyone could rush to the cafeteria to grab food.
This time was the same. He looked at his watch, put away the lesson plan, and whispered, "Students, just like before, don't make noise or shout, run quietly, don't disturb other classes, and most importantly! Don't be discovered by the head teacher! Otherwise, if the teacher's salary is deducted, you will have to make up for it."
The students in Class 2 nodded firmly.
He waved his hand and everyone crouched down and ran out with light steps. When they reached the outside of the teaching building, the bell for the end of get out of class rang. The students in Class 2 smiled like winners as they ran wildly.
As a result, five classes were having physical education classes today.
Yue Li, who was longing to eat sweet and sour pork ribs, heard the cafeteria lady shouting in her powerful voice: "The last serving of sweet and sour pork ribs!"
There were seven or eight people lined up in front of her.
Can’t the canteen make more sweet and sour spareribs every day!!! What kind of hunger marketing is this!!!
Several tall and strong boys ran in from the side door, jokingly. Qu Dazhuang shouted from a distance: "Sweet and sour spare ribs, here I come!"
The first boy in line had just handed over his plate. When he heard the voice, his hands started shaking with fear. He quickly took back the plate and said to the cafeteria lady, "I don't want it. I don't want it anymore."
The aunt looked at the student standing behind her.
The second student: "I don't want it either, I don't want it either!"
All of a sudden, the seven or eight students in front of Yue Li and Qi Ying all ran away, and Yue Li and the cafeteria lady looked at each other affectionately.
Aunt: "Do you want it?"
Yue Li: “I don’t dare to ask for it…”
She still remembered the last time Qu Dazhuang and his gang fought with someone over a plate of sweet and sour pork ribs and ended up with bloodshed.
She pulled Qi Ying and wanted to leave.
Qi Ying didn't understand.
There was clearly one portion left, why did everyone leave? She had been recommended this dish many times during the few days she had been at school, but she had never eaten it once. She was very curious about the taste.
Qi Ying pointed ahead and mouthed to Yue Li, "I want that."
Yue Li: "Next time, next time, we'll come back to eat next time."
As he was talking, Qu Dazhuang and his group rushed over. When they saw that there was only one left, they wailed and shouted in a loud voice, "Where is Brother Rang? Call Brother Rang over quickly. There is only one left."
They must have just finished playing basketball and were all sweaty. Ji Rang was walking at the end, his black T-shirt was soaked with sweat. He rolled up his short sleeves around his shoulders, revealing his thin arms.
Qi Ying didn't see Ji Rang. She was staring at the sweet and sour pork ribs.
Yue Li wanted to cry but had no tears: "Yingying, be good. We'll come back to eat next time."
Qu Dazhuang was about to swipe his card, but Ji Rang patted him on the head and said, "I don't want to eat this today."
Qu Dazhuang said, "Then I'll eat it."
Ji Rang didn't say anything, just turned his head and glanced at him.
Qu Dazhuang: "No more eating, no more eating, let's go, go, go."
So Yue Li got the last portion of sweet and sour pork ribs inexplicably, which made her wonder, is she the legendary chosen one?
Only then did Qi Ying notice Ji Rang who had already walked past.
She moved her lips, looked at Ji Rang's tall and thin back, and finally swallowed the word "General" and stopped her steps to move forward.
More and more students came into the cafeteria, and it was the busiest time of the day.
After Yue Li and Qi Ying got the food, they walked towards where their class was gathered.
Ji Rang was already sitting in his exclusive seat, with a plate full of food in front of him. He put his chopsticks aside, but he didn't eat. He was leaning back in his chair, playing with his phone.
Out of the corner of his eye he saw Qi Ying walking towards him.
He moved involuntarily and sat up a little straighter.
Then he saw Qi Ying smiled at him, walked past him with a tray, and sat at another table.
Ji Rang: ...
Hold.
He picked up the chopsticks distractedly and a plate was placed in front of him.
But he didn't sit down. He stood beside him with a smile on his face, a little restrained, and asked him softly: "Ji Rang, can I sit here? I met Uncle Ji last night, and he asked me to..."
Ji Rang didn't even raise his head: "Go away."
Xue Manqing was shaking as all eyes were on him. He could hardly hold back his smile. "Ji Rang, I..."
He smashed the chopsticks down, and the splashing oil flew onto Xue Manqing's limited edition white dress.
No one spoke.
Xue Manqing almost cried. She didn't even pick up the food plate. She turned around and left with gritted teeth.
Ji Rang said, "Take the things away."
Her whole body was so stiff that she had to turn around, facing all kinds of gazes, and pick up her plate. Then she walked straight to the swill area and threw everything in with the plate and rice.
She actually seldom comes to the cafeteria to eat.
Either the nanny at home would send him there, or he would go to a high-end restaurant to eat. Until two days ago, she heard that Ji Rang, who never ate at the same table with others, let the special student sit opposite him.
Last night she went to a dinner party with her father and met Ji Weiyan, Ji Rang's father.
Ji Weiyan knew that she and Ji Rang went to the same school, so sometimes when they met, he would chat with her and ask about Ji Rang's situation. After a while, they became familiar with each other and started calling Ji Rang "Uncle Ji". Ji Weiyan thought that he was different now.
She told Ji Weiyan about the special student. Ji Weiyan was very happy and said: Arang has always been a good boy, just like his mother, with a soft heart.
Xue Manqing thought angrily, what a soft heart.
The farce in the cafeteria became gossip for a long time afterwards.
Adhering to the principle of paying attention to the matters entrusted to him by his brothers, Yang Xinyuan exaggerated the matter and told it to Yu Zhuo, who did not like eating in the cafeteria.
Yu Zhuo was horrified: "He hit Xue Manqing with a dinner plate?"
Yang Xinyuan: "Of course not! Tsk tsk, it's a limited edition skirt, and it's covered with vegetable soup. Xue Manqing said, 'Ji told you to wait for me, I won't let you have it easy!', and ran out crying while covering her face!"
Yu Zhuo: "...I think I've seen this plot you're talking about in a TV series before."
Yang Xinyuan: "So you and your sister are really lucky. You didn't get into trouble twice in his hands. Oh, and there's one more thing. I saw in the "Crazy Dragon Crossing the River" group that people from No. 3 Middle School are going to take people to block Ji Rang after school."
Yu Zhuo: "Are they from No. 3 Middle School again? Are they just idiots? How many times have they blocked Ji Rang's way? Every time, Ji Rang beats them up, and they're still not satisfied?"
"The revenge for stealing my wife! How can we just let it go?! And this time it's different. I heard that Zhang Daqing has found some gangsters and they swear to teach Ji Rang a lesson he will never forget!"
Yu Zhuo pondered for a moment and his eyes lit up.
The opportunity to let his sister see Ji Rang’s true face has come!
