Chapter 34: Allergy

Everyone was intimidated by Ling Yao’s gaze and quickly looked away, not daring to meet her eyes.

Ling Yao’s gaze swept over the crowd, landing on Jiang Rong. Seeing Jiang Rong’s guilty expression, she already had her answer, “Did you do it?”

“No… No proof. Don’t talk nonsense. I’m too lazy to touch your broken bag.” Jiang Rong didn’t dare to meet Ling Yao’s gaze.

What if she did it? She didn’t believe Ling Yao dared to hit her in front of the whole class.

As long as she dared to make a move, she would have her uncle call the principal and have Ling Yao expelled.

Ling Yao smiled coldly, “Take a look at your hand.” She wasn’t the same helpless little girl she was in her past life. Bullying her would have consequences.

Jiang Rong looked down at her hand and saw that many small red bumps had appeared on the back of her hand.

Her face instantly changed, “Why is my hand like this? What did you do to me?”

“What does it have to do with me? I didn’t touch you.” Ling Yao bent down and picked up her backpack from the floor, brushing off the dust.

 This backpack was sewn by her mother stitch by stitch. She had always cherished it.

She put the backpack and stationery back in the desk drawer. As for the torn notebooks, they were unusable. Ling Yao could only throw them in the trash.

At this time, the teacher walked in. She put down her notebook, scanned the students, and said slowly, “Good morning, everyone! Today is the first day of school.

This semester is the most important one for you all. I hope you will work harder and more diligently this semester, strive for the best results, and all be able to get into your dream universities in the future and become pillars of the country.”

“Clap, clap, clap!” The students all clapped.

“Okay, now I’ll tell you about today’s arrangements.”

Jiang Rong felt more and more itchy all over. Eventually, even her face started to itch. She scratched fiercely, as if she wanted to tear off her skin.

Jiang Rong’s deskmate saw her scratching constantly. She turned to look at her and saw Jiang Rong’s face. She was startled, “Jiang Rong, your face, your face…”

At this time, Jiang Rong’s face was covered in red bumps, with red marks from scratching. It looked very scary.

“What’s wrong with my face?” Jiang Rong scratched irritably.

“Your face is covered in red bumps. It’s so dense and scary.”

“What?” Jiang Rong stood up excitedly.

“Jiang Rong, what are you doing?” The teacher looked at Jiang Rong with displeasure.

“Teacher, I’m having an allergic reaction. My whole body is itchy.” Jiang Rong scratched fiercely, but it only made her itch more.

The teacher also saw Jiang Rong’s face at this time, “Then go to the infirmary quickly.”

“Okay.” Jiang Rong responded, glared fiercely at Ling Yao, and quickly walked out of the classroom.

Ling Yao glanced at Jiang Rong’s departing figure and calmly looked away. She wasn’t a pushover anymore.

She wouldn’t bully anyone, but if someone provoked her, she wouldn’t show mercy.

Jiang Rong went to the infirmary.

The school nurse examined her, “Classmate, what did you eat this morning?”

“Cake and milk.”

“Do you eat them regularly?”

“Mm.”

“Did you eat anything else besides milk and cake?”

Jiang Rong thought for a moment and shook her head, “No.”

“You must be allergic. I’ll give you a box of anti-allergy medicine. If you don’t get better tomorrow after taking the medicine, I suggest you go to the hospital for a checkup.”

“Okay.” Jiang Rong walked out of the infirmary and went to the reception room to make a phone call home. She told them about her situation.

Jiang’s father arrived at the school soon. Seeing Jiang Rong’s face, he was also startled and immediately took her to the hospital.

After a thorough examination, the doctor concluded that Jiang Rong was allergic.

Back home, Jiang Rong thought about it and thought it must be related to Ling Yao. She decided to ask Ling Yao about it tomorrow.

Ling Yao was doing her homework when she heard someone calling her. She turned her head and saw Jiang Rong. She raised her eyebrows, “What’s up?”

“Ling Yao, did you do it?” Jiang Rong questioned her.

“What did I do? I don’t understand what you’re talking about.” Ling Yao pretended to be clueless.

“Did you mess with my face?” Jiang Rong pointed at her face and glared fiercely at Ling Yao.

“What does it have to do with me?” Ling Yao lowered her head and continued doing her homework.

“Ling Yao, don’t play dumb. I know you did it. Give me the antidote, or you’ll be sorry.”

Ling Yao put down her pen and slowly raised her head, “Jiang Rong, have you been watching too many martial arts movies?

What antidote, antidote?” She just gave Jiang Rong a little lesson. The red bumps on her body would disappear in a week at most.

“Ling Yao, believe it or not, I’ll make sure you can’t go to school.” Jiang Rong threatened her.

She had the power to do that. Her uncle was in the Education Bureau. He could make Ling Yao leave with just a word.

Her uncle loved her the most. As long as she asked, her uncle would definitely agree.

Ling Yao narrowed her eyes slightly, a flash of coldness in her eyes, “Go ahead.”

 If Jiang Rong had spoken to her nicely and apologized for yesterday’s incident, she wouldn’t have cared.

 But Jiang Rong was so aggressive. Then, she wouldn’t be polite.

She knew that Jiang Rong’s uncle was in the Education Bureau. In her past life, Jiang Rong’s sister would always threaten her with her uncle when she bullied her.

But Jiang Rong’s uncle didn’t have a good ending. He was reported for corruption and made the news. He lost his job and was sent to prison.

She was in the army at the time and happened to see the news on TV.

“Okay, Ling Yao, you’re going to regret this.” After leaving these harsh words, Jiang Rong stormed out of the classroom. She had to get Ling Yao expelled from school.

Jiang Rong went to Xu Lihai’s house. Xu Lihai wasn’t home from work yet. She waited at his house and watched TV.

Xu Lihai returned home and saw his niece. He was surprised, “Rongrong, why are you here? Your allergy hasn’t gone away?”

He had a son, so he had always spoiled his niece. He treated her like his own daughter.

“Uncle, I was bullied. This allergy, she did it.”

“What happened? Tell your uncle.” Xu Lihai put down his briefcase and sat down opposite Jiang Rong.

Jiang Rong embellished the story, “Ling Yao’s mother is a doctor. I just touched Ling Yao yesterday, and I had an allergic reaction. I suspect that Ling Yao gave me medicine.”

“That’s impossible, right?” Xu Lihai didn’t believe it. After all, Ling Yao was just a little girl. She wouldn’t do something like that.

“How is it impossible? She admitted it herself.” Whether Ling Yao admitted it or not, she just felt that it was related to Ling Yao.

Xu Lihai thought for a moment, “So, you came to me?”

“Uncle, I want you to expel Ling Yao. I don’t want her to go to school.” A venomous light flashed in Jiang Rong’s eyes.

 She just couldn’t stand Ling Yao. She just didn’t want her to be happy.
