IP Chapter 39

Incurable Pain | Chapter 39

Bai Xunyin being able to speak again and Yu Luoyin suddenly limping and needing crutches were two big shocks that stunned the whole cla.s.s.

For the high school seniors under the greatest pressure at seventeen or eighteen, the most stimulating thing that could revive their numb nerves was the juiciest gossip.

The happiest person about this was Ah Mo.

Bai Xunyin came back to school a day earlier than Yu Luoyin. When she just spoke to Ah Mo, the latter was stunned for a moment, then couldnt help but cry when she realized what had happened.

Covering her mouth with her small hand, blinking her big eyes, tears falling faster than the female leads in TV dramas, she said, Yinyin, you

Oh, why are you crying?

Bai Xunyin was startled by Ah Mos reaction, then couldnt help but chuckle and hugged her, asking softly, Are you scared?

Yeah, I was scared.

While there werent many people in the cla.s.sroom after cla.s.s, Ah Mo cried softly, snuggling against Bai Xunyin and whimpering, Im so happy, really, Yinyin, you can speak again, wuwuwu!

Her tears made Bai Xunyins heart sour. She couldnt say anything; she could only pat Ah Mos back.

There werent many people who could truly be happy for her, and Ah Mo was one of the rare ones.

After experiencing greetings from almost all the cla.s.smates in the morning, even Li Yuan and Lu Ye from the next cla.s.s came over when they heard that she could speak.

Facing Bai Xunyin, who could now speak softly, Lu Yes embarra.s.sed face turned red, and he apologized stutteringly, Bai Xun, Bai Xunyin, about what happened before I was a jerk, Im sorry.

Bai Xunyin smiled and shook her head indifferently.

Its okay.

She really didnt mind. If even Yu Luoyin could forgive her, what did Lu Yes immature and thoughtless mistakes matter?

Besides, he didnt cause her any substantial harm.

After saying that, Bai Xunyin calmly looked at her watch under Lu Yes guilty gaze, then stood up somewhat embarra.s.sedly and said, Teacher Yu wants to see me in the office. You guys have lunch.

She didnt know what it was about, but anyway, when Teacher Yu heard that she could speak, he thought he hadnt woken up yet, and he was visibly surprised halfway through a yawn, then told her to come to the office at noon.

Bai Xunyin politely knocked on the door and heard a come in from inside.

Yu Shen had finished his lunch and was sitting at his desk grading papers. When he heard the sound, he looked up, saw Bai Xunyin, and beckoned her over.

Come here, come here.

Bai Xunyin obediently walked over and said, Teacher Yu.

Suddenly hearing you speak, Yu Shen smiled, looking quite pleased.

Its still a bit strange, how did your voice suddenly recover?

It was normal for teachers to ask such questions. Bai Xunyin smiled slightly and said, Its I was suddenly able to speak. The doctors Ive seen before have also said that recovering ones voice requires a catalyst, it could be a lifetime of not being able to speak, or it could suddenly recover in a moment.

In any case, its a good thing. Im glad you recovered before the college entrance examination. A good mood is nothing but beneficial for the big exam.

Yu Shen also smiled, then hesitated for a moment before asking, Bai Xunyin, I saw that you were interested in Northern Engineering University on the application form?

Bai Xunyin nodded.

Are you also interested in Lan University?

Yu Shen asked somewhat hesitantly, then added, I ask the top students before the exam as a matter of routine. You dont have to feel pressured, just follow your heart.

Because of Bai Xunyins special situation before, the school had regulations that they couldnt ask, but now that Bai Xunyins special situation was resolved, Yu Shen naturally wanted to treat everyone equally.

Bai Xunyin was taken aback and immediately thought of the issue of the admission quota.

She had scored very high in the exam, so Yu Shens question wasnt surprising, but Bai Xunyin tentatively asked, Teacher, what about the students ahead of me?

Why are you worried about them? Everyone has their own reasons, its that kid Yu Luoyin.

Perhaps feeling a bit annoyed at the thought, Yu Shen chuckled disdainfully, I really dont understand him. He filled in Lan University on the application form, but he wont accept the admission quota. Now these smelly kids all think theyre so unique, naive.

Bai Xunyin listened in silence, pondering in her heart. Then she shook her head. No, thank you, teacher, but I still prefer Northern Engineering University.

She didnt want to change her preferences, nor did she want to stay at Lin Lan.

Yu Luoyin didnt return to cla.s.s until three days laterhe had planned to come back to school the next day after being discharged from the hospital, but unfortunately, when Yu Luoyan returned from his business trip and saw him half-paralyzed, he got angry and imprisoned him at home for three days before letting him go back to school.

Seeing Bai Xunyin waiting for him at the school gate, Yu Luoyin couldnt help but hug the girls shoulder, rubbing his forehead against hers like a spoiled child, and said, I missed you.

Bai Xunyin quickly supported the limping Yu Luoyin, allowing his long arm to drape over her shoulder.

Hold your crutches steady.

Yu Luoyin grinned.

Leaning against her, but already s.h.i.+fting his weight to the side where he held the crutches, helping her save energy, Bai Xunyin noticed this subtle change and couldnt help but smile faintly.

Senior year of high school was truly a purgatory on earth. If you missed three days of cla.s.s, youd already have a thick stack of exercises and test papers piled up, not to mention the important points and notes youd missed.

Fortunately, Yu Luoyin had a good foundation, so delaying a few days wasnt such a big deal. Otherwise, Yu Shen would have nagged him to death.

But even so, grading papers was exhausting enough.

Yu Luoyin didnt care about those friends who came to tease him about becoming a one-legged guy now. He spent the whole morning catching up on missed lessons, only having a bit of time to spend with Bai Xunyin at lunchtime.

Dont go to the cafeteria.

When the bell rang for cla.s.s dismissal, he quietly grabbed the hem of her school uniform from under the desk while Bai Xunyin hadnt gotten up yet, murmuring, Lets order takeout and eat together.

With his leg like this now he didnt quite have the ability to rush for food in the cafeteria.

Before Bai Xunyin could respond, Ah Mo, who was nearby, noticed the small movements between them and widened her eyes involuntarily.

Yu Luoyin!

She shot a glare at him, using her own body to s.h.i.+eld Bai Xunyin, looking completely disapproving as she stared at him.

What are you doing?

After contemplating for a while, Yu Luoyin simply ignored her. Since it was pointless to explain himself to someone who was stubborn, he continued to lean on Bai Xunyin, acting all spoiled.

Accompany me.

Ah Mo felt like this was simply unbelievable!

Even more surprisingly, Bai Xunyin actually agreed.

Ah Mo.

Bai Xunyin patted her shoulder, somewhat helplessly saying, You dont need to accompany me today. Go have lunch with your crush.

She was obviously referring to Sheng Wen.

Its not Ah Mo, utterly bewildered, was brushed aside. She looked at Bai Xunyin with great confusion.

Whats going on between you two?

She didnt know, did she, that her dear little Yinyin had already broken up with that scoundrel Yu Luoyin?

Ill tell you later.

Bai Xunyin quickly sent Ah Mo away with a few words, acting just like she was coaxing an unruly child, gentle and patient.

Yu Luoyin lazily watched as she did so, absentmindedly playing with the end of Bai Xunyins ponytail.

Suddenly, he felt a bit jealous.

Even though Bai Xunyin had agreed to reconcile with him, he didnt get the same treatment as Ah Mo.

But Yu Luoyin didnt dare to ask for any precious treatment now. He could only wait until most of the students had left the cla.s.sroom and then pull Bai Xunyins chair over, placing his phone on the table in front of them.

What do you want to eat? The screen was full of colorful options from the delivery apps.

Bai Xunyin was looking at them when a call came in. The screen flashed with the name a.s.sistant Dong, and she glanced at Yu Luoyin, blinking.

You should take the call first.

Yu Luoyin originally wanted to just hang up, but upon hearing her words, he answered the call.

Mr. Yu. Because the two were so close, the clear voice of the man on the other end of the line could be heard clearly by Bai Xunyin as well.

The case of those people from the Yilin Gang is suspected of fraud. After hearing that they were caught, the previous victims came with their lawyers to sue. Over here

Do whatever you need to do.

Yu Luoyins slender fingers unconsciously played with the end of Bai Xunyins braid, and he chuckled casually, Kick them while theyre down. Its something Im quite good at.

He didnt care about piling on trouble; it would be best if Yilin was stuck there for life.

After giving his instructions, he hung up the phone. His long fingers scrolled through the delivery app on the screen.

Bai Xunyin leaned against him, silent for a moment before asking, How long will Yiba and the others be sentenced?

Im not sure.

Yu Luoyin lowered his head to look at his phone, then asked softly after a pause, How long do you want them to be sentenced?

It doesnt matter. Bai Xunyin sighed softly.

Just dont bother me.

Yu Luoyin pondered for a moment, then, out of the blue, said, Im sorry.

Bai Xunyin was taken aback, turning her head to look at him, Why are you apologizing?

After all, I used Liu Yiba and the others to deceive you. I havent formally apologized yet.

Yu Luoyin, who was usually indifferent, showed a rare hint of embarra.s.sment in his black eyes.

He said straightforwardly, Its something I should apologize for. How about I treat you to a meal as compensation?

I dont want this apology. If you really feel sorry, tell me something else.

Bai Xunyin looked at him helplessly, teasing, Like how many times youve deceived me.

Yu Luoyin was stunned.

Bai Xunyin looked at him steadily. I want to hear the truth.

Okay. Yu Luoyin smiled helplessly, and went through his sins one by one.

At the beginning of our relations.h.i.+p, I had selfish motives, as you know, and theres also the deliberate lie about the bet, using clothes to s.h.i.+eld you from the rain instead of giving you the umbrella, the cold I caught later was also a lie, and I discussed it with Asui, deliberately wanting you to come to my house

His voice gradually faded under Bai Xunyins gaze.

And one more thing.

Yu Luoyins slender fingers lightly tapped on the phone, and his dark eyes glanced around, ensuring that no one was around. Then he leaned a bit closer to Bai Xunyin, his voice low and clear.

The matter about the bet I mentioned before isnt important. It was also a lie to deceive you.

Now I think its important.

Bai Xunyin was stunned, raising her gaze to meet Yu Luoyins pitch-black eyes, feeling a bit fl.u.s.tered in her heart.

In fact, Im very serious. Yu Luoyin smiled faintly.

And I really like you.

The weather, almost entering April, was starting to get warm, marking the beginning of summer temperatures.

The doors and windows of the cla.s.sroom were wide open, and a gentle breeze blew through, soft and refres.h.i.+ng to the touch. Bai Xunyin guessed that she would probably remember this forever.

The summer breeze,

I will always remember,

clearly saying that you love me.

I see your cool smile,

and there are shy moments too.*
