CHAPTER 632: CHAPTER 631 BAI FAMILY IN TROUBLE

A few days later, at noon, in the music room.

Bai Xue casually strummed a few strings of the instrument, then suddenly mustered her courage and spoke up, "Xiao Yu! There’s something I want to ask you..."

Zhen Yu quickly stopped her embroidery and looked up, her tone carrying a hint of relief as she said, "Ask away!"

In these past few days, Bai Xue’s guqin playing during lunchtime was all over the place and off-tune. Zhen Yu had long noticed that this person had something on her mind! So, she had been waiting here for her to come clean voluntarily! And today, it finally happened! No more being tortured by terrible music!

"It’s, it’s... Have you noticed any unusual behavior from Lu Mei in your class recently?"

"Lu Mei?" Zhen Yu furrowed her brows and repeated.

Could it be that she guessed wrong?! Bai Xue’s abnormal behavior had nothing to do with Lu Huai’s rotten luck in love?

"As for Lu Mei... she’s been quite close with Gu Qing lately." Zhen Yu paused, then added, "Actually, it’s not just recently! Even before Gu Qing took that one-week sick leave, they were pretty close!"

"Just close with Gu Qing?"

Bai Xue’s expression was rather complicated, especially since she had already learned from Zhen Yu about Gu Qing’s secret crush on Lu Huai in the past.

After pondering for a long time, Bai Xue still followed up, asking, "Isn’t there anyone else?!"

"No!" Zhen Yu replied confidently, and then suddenly asked back, "Why are you suddenly asking about Lu Mei’s business?"

Bai Xue’s face turned red all of a sudden! She hesitated for a long time before explaining, "These past few days, Lu Mei always comes to class ten looking for, looking for Lu Huai! And every time, she forces some things on him! I happened to pass by once and overheard, she said... it was for someone else to give to him!"

"Oh!" Zhen Yu nodded nonchalantly.

As a result, Bai Xue was immediately annoyed by her indifferent response!

"Zhen Yu! Whose side are you on?! After hearing all that, you don’t even comfort me a bit?!"

Even though inside she was about to burst out laughing, Zhen Yu still kept a straight face and asked seriously, "Why should I comfort you? What does the cousins’ matter have to do with you?"

Bai Xue was questioned so abruptly that she widened her eyes in disbelief at Zhen Yu!

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end closed it without uttering a word.

It was not until she caught the teasing twinkle deliberately leaked from Zhen Yu’s eyes that Bai Xue suddenly realized the truth and lunged into her embrace!

"You little rascal! You saw it all coming and you still deliberately asked me! You did it on purpose, right! I’ll let you mock me! I’ll let you laugh! Ge-ji, ge-ji..."

"Haha! Stop! Hahaha... Stop it... Haha... I’m sorry, okay... Haha..."

As best friends who had grown up playing together, Bai Xue knew exactly where to attack to keep Zhen Yu laughing uncontrollably.

After a good bout of laughter and jest, the two girls, still unable to stop laughing, crouched down together.

Zhen Yu was the first to speak up, "Spill it! What do you wanna do?!"

"What can I do!" Bai Xue said huffily: "I can’t very well go and confess to him in reverse, can I!"

"It’s not like that’s impossible,"

Zhen Yu carelessly threw in a remark, which was immediately met with a cold glower from Bai Xue!

"Stinky girl! Can we still be friends or not!?"

"Alright, alright! No, we can’t! He must confess! He absolutely must confess!" Zhen Yu immediately corrected herself, and then asked Bai Xue for her opinion, "So, should I go and talk to him for you?"

"No, that’s not good!" Bai Xue blurted out without thinking, "If you say something, won’t he realize it’s my idea? Then it’s still me making the first move..."

Zhen Yu pulled at her hair, "...Then what do you suggest we do?"

"Let me think about it. Right! First help me find out who exactly Lu Mei is helping to pursue him!"

---

Zhen Yu took on the task given to her by Bai Xue, but before she could even get started, something happened at Bai Xue’s house!

In the middle of the first class in the afternoon, a tear-streaked Bai Xue suddenly pounded on the door of Class Two like a madwoman!

"Teacher! Teacher, I need to find Zhen Yu! It’s an emergency with Zhen Yu!"

"Ah!" The teacher on the podium was startled by Bai Xue’s distraught appearance and hurriedly waved towards the front of the room, "Zhen, Zhen Yu, hurry and go!"

"Okay, Teacher!"

By the time Zhen Yu responded, she had already reached the front of the classroom, and by the time she finished speaking, she had already run out the door.

"...Let’s continue with the class!"

Although the teacher looked towards the door, not quite at ease, she still gathered her thoughts and continued with the lesson.

Once outside the classroom, Zhen Yu immediately grabbed Bai Xue’s hands tightly and looked into her eyes, saying, "Bai Xue, stop crying and tell me what happened! I’m here for you! Don’t be afraid!"

"Wah! Xiao Yu! My mom, my mom has been in a car accident!" Bai Xue couldn’t stop her tears, and she threw herself into Zhen Yu’s arms, crying uncontrollably and stuttering, "Just now! Grandpa Wang from the guard station came to our class and asked me to take a call! It was my uncle who called!"

"He said, he said, my mom’s legs are broken! Both of them! She’ll never be able to stand up again! What do I do now?"

After hearing this, Zhen Yu frowned so hard it looked like she could squeeze a fly to death.

Broken legs? Both of them? Never able to stand again? How can this sound so off?

"Did Uncle Fu say where your mom is now?! Luckily today is Saturday! I’ll accompany you back to the town!"

"Right, right, right! I need to go back and see my mom! You’ll really come with me? My mom is at Siying Hospital right now!"

"For real! Let’s go now!" Without saying another word, Zhen Yu dragged Bai Xue out of the teaching building, saying as they walked, "Once we’re out the school gate, we’ll take a cab! We might just catch the early bus!"

"Wuu wuu wuu... Thank you, Xiao Yu!" Bai Xue followed closely behind Zhen Yu, crying and talking at the same time.

"Don’t talk about that now!" Zhen Yu’s expression became stern, as if she had reverted to her detached self from when she had just been reborn.

"Bai Xue! You’re almost eighteen, not a little girl anymore! Your aunt has had an accident, and now you need to stand up quickly! Don’t forget, you are a big sister, and there’s a little brother at home looking up to you! You should know that crying won’t solve any problems!"

"I know, I know all that! But I just can’t help wanting to cry..."

"Then cry all you want on the way! By the time you reach your mother’s bedside, don’t cry like a child anymore! If, and I mean if! Your aunt’s injury is as serious as you say... then you need to be prepared, as the main support of the Bai Family might have to be you in the future!"

"You mean to say..."
