Chapter 235: The Two Girls Meet (Part 2)

Shen Lingyao’s mind was invaded by images of Zhao Qingfeng making faces and dangling glucose for Liu Ruoxin while telling her jokes and accompanying her during IV drips, a scene of intimacy.

“Are you a new junior, here to check out the school early?”

Shen Lingyao, with her cute appearance, could easily pass for a first-year middle school student. Soon, a few boys playing basketball came over to chat her up.

She nodded, engaging in brief conversation, then deliberately asked, “Is there any interesting big event in our school?”

Yes!

Every school has its legendary stories.

For example, Wang Qiang from County No.2 Middle School, educated by Zhao Qingfeng as a martial arts master, has become a tale worth retelling for a decade.

But that’s not explosive.

The incident of Zhao Qingfeng setting a fire and jumping from a building at City No.1 Middle school truly counts as sensational news.

Several ‘seniors’ rushed to tell a few small stories, inevitably bringing up Zhao Qingfeng.

One of them was particularly keen on speaking.

The scene he described was very vivid.

“You guys are talking about what, have you forgotten about Zhao Qingfeng?”

“That kid from the county was so awesome, he actually jumped from the building when his confession failed!”

Shen Lingyao’s mind buzzed at once.

Looking in the direction pointed out by the seniors, the tiles on the outside of the third floor of the teaching building still bore many soot-blackened marks. Despite several rains, the marks remained, serving as solid evidence.

Not just that.

The windows from the second floor upwards were fitted with anti-theft bars, further proving some facts.

Then looking at the flower bed.

Although there weren’t as many bicycles as Liu Ruoxin had described, both the shape and the angle matched the facts of Zhao Qingfeng jumping and landing in the flower bed as she had described.

Even more frightening.

Shen Lingyao remembered Zhao Qingfeng’s embarrassed state when he returned to County No.2 Middle School.

Covered in mud.

Limping.

Reeking of smoke.

Wasn’t that evidence of jumping from a building?

Everything.

Completely matched.

Her heart felt as if it had been stabbed by thousands of knives.

Brother Qingfeng!

You lied!

You don’t truly love me; you just treated me as a spare tire!

If Liu Ruoxin hadn’t rejected you, we wouldn’t have been together!

You would go abroad, travel far and study with her!

And I!

And I…

Would still be that foolish girl left in the county, missing you terribly, forced to confine all my feelings to a diary!

In an instant.

A flood of complex emotions surged into Shen Lingyao’s mind.

Tears couldn’t be stopped. In pain, she crouched on the ground, hugging her shoulders, her delicate body trembling.

The surrounding boys were scared, exchanging bewildered looks.

We just told a few stories, is it worth being so heartbroken?

No matter how they tried to comfort her, Shen Lingyao just sobbed with her head in her hands.

The boys, out of ideas, shrugged and walked away.

The playground was empty, but Shen Lingyao’s heart was completely filled with the story depicted by Liu Ruoxin.

But she didn’t hate.

There was only sadness.

Endless melancholy spread in her heart, likely to take root before long.

“Shen Lingyao!”

Amid her crying, a joyous and sweet voice, accompanied by hurried footsteps, raced towards her from behind.

“…”

Wiping away her tears, Shen Lingyao turned to look, and it was none other than Liu Ruoxin, dressed youthfully and beautifully.

Liu Ruoxin, eager to get close, grabbed Shen Lingyao’s hand, “Get up, didn’t you not believe it? I’ll take you to the school doctor and the canteen lady for confirmation right now!”
