IP Chapter 40
Incurable Pain | Chapter 40
Later, until the months before the college entrance examination, it was always the most pleasant time in Bai Xunyins memory.
She regained her voice, no longer needing to endure the sympathetic or strange stares as a mute, not having to endure the bullying from Sheng Churan and others like in soph.o.m.ore year, and not having to maintain the state of complete non-interaction with Yu Luoyin.
In the last few months, apart from studying well and dreaming about the future with Yu Luoyin, she didnt have to think about anything else.
Bai Xunyin emptied her mind, not thinking about what might happen after the college entrance examination, just cheris.h.i.+ng the present.
Cheris.h.i.+ng the present without deception, a simple and pure high school period.
Or maybe it was Yu Luoyins one-sided purity, but she wasnt like that.
Later, Bai Xunyin briefly explained to Ah Mo the karmic relations.h.i.+p between her and Yu Luoyin. The girl listened in a daze, her expression resembling a scene from a large-scale drama, but she ultimately respected Bai Xunyins wishes.
However, Ah Mo still didnt have a good expression when she saw Yu Luoyin. This animosity had lasted for many years, making them archenemies.
Life went smoothly and quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was mid-April, the city-wide unified second mock exam.
This exam was basically to a.s.sess the students performance in the college entrance exam, and the scores were usually similar.
It was raining lightly on the day of the exam. The rain at this time of year was very soft, almost silent as it fell to the ground.
After finis.h.i.+ng the exam, Bai Xunyin walked out of the exam room. After some thought, she turned and headed towards the sixth exam roomYu Luoyin was there, and she couldnt bear not to go.
The surrounding area was bustling with noise, with discussions about the questions echoing in her ears. Bai Xunyin always felt that the world was particularly noisy once she could speak.
She lowered her head and took out her earphones from the pocket of her school uniform. Just as she was about to put them on, she paused and saw a harmonious scene.
At the entrance of the sixth exam room, Yu Luoyin stood by the corridor, lazily leaning against the railing. His pitch-black hair was slightly messy, falling in front of his forehead, and his eyes seemed unfocused.
But Sheng Churan stood in front of him, her body language and expression clearly tense, indicating that the young mans eyes were consistently cold and indifferent.
Bai Xunyin stood nearby, watching with interest, not going to disturb them but rather listening to Sheng Churans attempts to strike up a conversation
Yu Luoyin, um can you come to our cla.s.sroom after school? I have something to tell you.
Yu Luoyin asked, Why?
I want to discuss a question. Ive been studying diligently recently, and I want to estimate how many points I can score, but our cla.s.s is just a regular cla.s.s.
Sheng Churan turned her eyes and racked her brains to find excuses, then looked at Yu Luoyin with antic.i.p.ation.
Or I can come to you?
You come to me?
Yu Luoyin silently repeated these words in his mind, then couldnt help but smile.
Sure.
He lazily glanced at Sheng Churan and unexpectedly agreed, Wait in the cla.s.sroom after self-study. Ill come find you.
Some people not only have a poor memory but also forget to hit even when they dont eat, such as Sheng Churan.
Seeing the girls joyful and excited appearance, a hint of coldness flashed in Yu Luoyins smiling eyes.
Not far away, Bai Xunyin saw this scene, furrowing her brows slightly.
She didnt think that Yu Luoyin liked Sheng Churan or anything like that.
She just felt he probably wanted to do something bad.
And indeed, it was almost as Bai Xunyin expected.
After self-study, Yu Luoyin rarely didnt pester her, threatening to have the family driver pick her up, but instead said he had something to do.
His face was neither red nor white when lying, and he even winked at her playfully, this straightforward appearance was not considered lying to herafter all, Yu Luoyin did have something to do and didnt lie.
Bai Xunyin pondered for a moment and nodded obediently, leaving first.
Just as Yu Luoyin walked out of the cla.s.sroom wearing his school uniform, leaning on his crutches and heading towards Sheng Churans cla.s.sroom, Bai Xunyin quietly followed from the corner.
Her sneakers stepped silently on the ground, quiet and agile like a cat.
A pair of tea-colored pupils were the same, pure and innocent, but with an inexplicable penetrating power.
It wasnt until Yu Luoyin walked out of the cla.s.sroom alone and grabbed a key from Li Yuans hand, then turned around and decisively locked the door, that Sheng Churan seemed to realize something.
At the moment the door was closed, she stood up and walked over to the door, pounding on the windows and shouting, Yu Luoyin! What are you doing?!
There was undisguised fear in the girls voice, almost trembling. It was evident that she was extremely afraid of being locked alone in the dark cla.s.sroom at this time of night, then enjoying the feeling of being isolated and helpless.
Yu Luoyin raised the corners of his lips, smiling faintly, and didnt answer.
He just threw the key outside the railing without looking back.
Im going, can you be a little more responsible?
Li Yuan was quite annoyed, regretting deeply why he had helped him in the first place.
It wasnt just about the key.
Sheng Churans incessant cries for help inside the cla.s.sroom were quite distressing, and Li Yuan hesitated in the dark corridor, looking at the tightly locked cla.s.sroom door.
Brother Yu, can this really work? After all, shes just a girl
Its okay. Sheng Churan is already quite skilled at doing this kind of thing herself. How could she be afraid?
Yu Luoyin smiled faintly, flicked his fingers against the door, his voice conspicuously cold and indifferent.
Right?
The cries of let me out from Sheng Churan, which had been continuous just a moment ago, suddenly stopped.
Yu Luoyin withdrew his gaze and gave Li Yuan a glance.
Dont you know?
Li Yuan had nothing to sayregarding Sheng Churans previous habit of locking Bai Xunyin in the cla.s.sroom, he had also heard about it a long time ago.
Yu Luoyin slung his school bag over his shoulder.
Lets go.
Li Yuan shook his head helplessly and followed along, becoming another crutch for him as they descended the stairs.
Just as they turned the corner on the second floor, a slender figure suddenly appeared.
d.a.m.n!
Li Yuan was startled by the sudden appearance of this figure, and cowardly hid behind Yu Luoyin.
Ghost! Ghost! Ghost!!!
After Yu Luoyin recognized that it was Bai Xunyin, the phrase what the h.e.l.l he was about to blurt out got stuck in his throat, and unconsciously changed to, What are you doing here?
But he directed the question at Bai Xunyin.
Hearing Yu Luoyins strange question, Li Yuan dared to timidly poke his head out.
What he saw was Bai Xunyins fair and gentle face under the moonlight, with rosy lips and white teeth, as if she had been coated with a layer of light, incredibly beautiful.
Li Yuan instantly felt like a third wheel.
He glanced around at the silent exchange between Yu Luoyin and Bai Xunyin, then quickly made up an excuse and hurriedly left.
After Li Yuan left, Yu Luoyin muttered to himself, You didnt go home.
Bai Xunyins clear eyes looked at him, I followed you on purpose.
Yu Luoyin was a very clever person. He immediately understood after hearing Bai Xunyins words, and looked at her thoughtfully.
After the exam, you saw me talking to Sheng Churan.
I did, Bai Xunyin tilted her head slightly.
At the time, I felt like you were up to no good.
Up to no good? Yu Luoyin couldnt help but chuckle, unable to suppress his laughter.
Do you think what I did was wrong?
Bai Xunyin thought for a moment, then replied seriously, Its a bit ungentlemanly.
No choice.
Yu Luoyin sighed lightly, but his words were rational and strong.
I have to retaliate like this.
Being gentlemanly is out of the question. He looked at Bai Xunyin innocently.
Moreover I can at best say Im just giving her a taste of her own medicine, right?
In his seeking praise clear eyes, Bai Xunyin felt a sense of nowhere to escape. She lowered her head slightly in a daze, and the corners of her lips curved slightly.
How did you know that she locked me in the cla.s.sroom before?
To think of this way to teach Sheng Churan a lesson, he was indeed worthy of being him.
I know everything about you.
Yu Luoyin casually draped his arm around her shoulder, wanting to lead the girl down the stairs.
Stop thinking about it. She locked you up so many times, its not unfair for her to be locked up for a night, especially in the cla.s.sroom.
This was already the most gentle form of retaliation in his a.r.s.enal, and Sheng Churan should be grateful she was a girl.
Sheng Churan has relatives at school. Bai Xunyin grabbed him.
Arent you afraid shell tell the teachers?
She wont dare. Yu Luoyin said indifferently, without any hint of boasting, as if he was stating a fact, half jokingly.
I have a bigger backstage than her, believe it or not?
Bai Xunyin was taken aback, subconsciously thinking of Gu Yan.
That woman who she once wanted to save up money and knowledge to attend her lectures after she got into university, treating her as a spiritual idol.
She couldnt forget
Gu Yan was Yu Luoyins mother.
The heart that had just shown a slight crack seemed to be slowly repaired by a small snail, unconsciously using its mucus to restore it to its original indomitable state.
Yeah. Bai Xunyin smiled, her eyes obscured by the darkness, her voice gentle and soft.
I believe you.
So stop worrying about it.
Yu Luoyin didnt notice her strange expression, his slender hand resting on her shoulder.
Accompany me for a late-night snack.
What are we going to eat? Bai Xunyin asked.
Theres a small wonton shop on Huainan Road thats pretty good
Amidst the chattering conversation, the two of them were the last to leave the school, their long shadows interweaving along the streetlights.
In the end, Bai Xunyin didnt persuade Yu Luoyin to let Sheng Churan out, not because of the discarded key. She knew that if she and Yu Luoyin proposed it, this guy would break the cla.s.srooms gla.s.s window.
She just didnt want to be a saint.
Just as Yu Luoyin said, everyone has to pay the price for their actions, and Sheng Churan was no exception.
The boy who leaned on her weakly was actually extremely ruthless, but she would slowly become even more ruthless than him.
