CHAPTER 656: CHAPTER 655: INCAPABLE OF TURNING

Shen Qi actually learned about Bai Xue’s mother’s car accident while he was on the phone with her family.

Then, he energetically promoted the news to the junior high classmates in the QQ group, creating an extremely tragic image of Bai Xue!

After all, everyone knew that Bai Xue’s parents had divorced a while ago, and now hearing that her mother had a car accident! And there’s a younger brother at home too! Everyone immediately felt—indeed, life is truly pitiful...

Then, just when classmates were exclaiming, "Bai Xue is really so pitiful!", Shen Qi suddenly stood up!

He said: "Since everyone is planning to meet up on Children’s Day anyway, why not just take this opportunity to visit First High School! You can also visit our classmate Bai Xue! Let’s comfort her together and encourage her to cheer up a bit!"

This proposal naturally received unanimous approval from the classmates.

After all, the world is never short of people who love to watch the excitement! Especially if it’s a group trip to see the hottest drama from the prettiest girl in class! Whether it’s genuine kindness, schadenfreude or indifference, nobody would refuse anyway.

So, the matter was settled just like that.

Even with Shen Qi’s active instigation, no one realized that they should actually first seek Bai Xue’s opinion—the actual person involved! Ask her if she really needs this kind of ’care’ and ’visit’...

---

Seeing Bai Xue about to be morally kidnapped, Zhen Yu couldn’t help but feel anxious for her!

Not only that, but she was also stressed for herself and Han Mingyue!

Since not all junior high classmates had a phone, even if Zhen Yu were to lend her mobile to Bai Xue right now, she couldn’t refuse all the classmates before tomorrow!

And as for the silly idea of running to an internet café after evening self-study to post messages in the QQ group, that’s even less feasible!

You know it would be utterly useless! Who in this era can be online and see QQ messages at any time?

Would she and Han Mingyue really have to stay at the school with Bai Xue, waiting to meet up with those irrelevant people?

But if they don’t accompany her, what if someone, under the guise of concern, makes a patronizing face, Bai Xue would end up crying, right?

Although Shen Qi didn’t mention Zhen Yu at all, Zhen Yu had reason to believe that all this was done to target her, and Bai Xue was clearly being used as a pawn...

Zhen Yu, out of options, stayed with Bai Xue in the corridor until the class bell rang, then returned to the classroom helplessly.

"What’s wrong?"

At some point, Han Mingyue had developed the subconscious reaction to always ask whenever Zhen Yu was silent.

"Shen Qi is causing trouble again..."

Zhen Yu hadn’t planned to hide it from Han Mingyue, so she told him everything straight up.

"You’re this worried over such a trivial matter?!" Han Mingyue laughed as he looked at Zhen Yu and asked.

"A trivial matter? If you’re not worried, then tell me what we should do!" Zhen Yu slumped onto the desk, without any hope.

"Simple!"

Han Mingyue whispered a few words into Zhen Yu’s ear, and her eyes suddenly lit up!

"Nice one, Han Mingyue! How could I not think of asking him for help!"

Han Mingyue pondered for a moment, then half-seriously said: "Hmm... Maybe it’s because you are too independent, you don’t like to ask for help with anything! And your mind is quite straightforward, maybe not good at taking twists and turns!"

Zhen Yu immediately got displeased upon hearing that.

"Why can’t I handle a turn of phrase? Who do you think you’re looking down on? Come on! Let me start with a brain teaser to test you..."

——

After the second evening self-study session, Zhen Yu went to Class Ten and called Bai Xue out.

Facing Bai Xue’s displeasure, Zhen Yu didn’t say much, just mentioned one person’s name — Jiang Lijun.

"Ah! Right! Teacher Jiang is at First High School! I can go and file a complaint with him! I want to see how Shen Qi can show off to me then!"

Seeing Bai Xue’s expression of ’sweet revenge,’ Zhen Yu couldn’t help but feel a bit worried, "Do you know what to say?"

"What should I say? Just tell the truth! I have to go home to see my mom tomorrow! Who has the time to deal with them! Besides, I don’t need their pity! Some people might just be deliberately coming to laugh at my misfortune, kicking me when I’m down!"

Zhen Yu shook her head, smiling. Bai Xue really was lucid about the ways of the world.

After all, even if she has always been popular! But since she’s been beautiful from a young age, there are still girls who look down on her purely out of jealousy!

When Zhen Yu and Bai Xue were desk mates, she often heard those girls making sarcastic and ironic remarks about Bai Xue!

Without going too far, Li Lingling, who is now at Second High School, is definitely one of the prominent ones! That girl can spit out words as soon as she opens her mouth!

But Bai Xue’s ability to counter is not bad either!

"Just don’t say that last phrase! Add one more — thanks to everyone, you appreciate their good intentions!"

"Oh! I got it!" Bai Xue winked at Zhen Yu! This meant that she should play nice in front of Teacher Jiang...

——

After Han Mingyue and Zhen Yu brainstormed, on Sunday morning, Bai Xue smoothly boarded the bus home.

And Jiang Lijun also timely arrived at the gate of First High School as Bai Xue had informed him.

As a result, Shen Qi, who was full of confidence and had spent more than half an hour dressing up in the dorm room, was stopped by Teacher Jiang chatting with Grandpa Wang in the security room as she arrived at the school gate!

"Teacher Jiang!"

Shen Qi’s pupils quaked, but she still greeted with a guilty face and a stroke of luck, "It’s Sunday today, you’re on duty, right?!"

Teacher Jiang looked at the girl in front of him with a smile that was not quite a smile, and it was obvious at a glance that her face was carefully made up.

"I’m off today."

The first thing Teacher Jiang said shattered Shen Qi’s hopes and gave her an ominous feeling.

Sure enough, she then heard Teacher Jiang say, "I’m here to wait for you deliberately. Or to put it more precisely, I’m here waiting for the students of your year!"

"Teacher, ..." Shen Qi opened her mouth but found that any words used as an explanation seemed extraordinarily feeble and pale.

A bunch of junior high friends having a reunion, knowing that the class teacher who taught them for four years is at First High School! Not a single person thought of inviting him! Especially Shen Qi, who had been his class president for four years!

This was no longer just a matter of respecting teachers and valuing ethics but fundamentally — out of sight, out of mind!

And the more terrifying thing was still to come!

The others were nothing; they met today, and if need be, they wouldn’t meet again in the future.

But it’s different for Shen Qi! Because she is precisely studying at First High School, and she sees Teacher Jiang almost every day...
