20demayo Chapter 70
Chapter 70
With the thick clothes, Quan Zhisui was no longer cold, and her mood improved significantly. She not only ignored Zuo Zichen but also Wei Shixu.
When he spoke to her, she put on noise-canceling earplugs.
When he brought her things, she casually placed them on the seat next to her.
When he messaged her, she didn’t even glance at it.
Quan Zhisui demonstrated the pinnacle of revenge through sheer indifference!
She acted as if he didn’t exist, treating him like air.
This was not only torturous but also utterly disheartening, leaving Wei Shixu completely helpless.
She had completely cut him out of her life!
At lunchtime, Ling Ruoyun came to find her.
The long-distance runner often visited Class 1 to hang out with Quan Zhisui and frequently ate meals with her at school.
Both of them had high energy expenditure and ate a lot, so neither judged the other. They were the perfect meal companions.
“I’m going for training camp, ten days!” Ling Ruoyun said between bites.
Quan Zhisui cheered her on: “Do your best! Next time, try to outrun me.”
Ling Ruoyun laughed: “Haha, that’s a bit difficult!”
She was someone who knew her limits.
Quan Zhisui asked, “When are you leaving?”
Ling Ruoyun: “This afternoon, after packing up. Ugh, it’s so annoying. When I come back, I’ll have to catch up on academic classes. Why is everything so annoying!”
Quan Zhisui joined in the complaint: “I’m annoyed too. I have to catch up on all of second-year content while keeping up with third-year classes.”
Ling Ruoyun was surprised: “The regular classes have already started teaching third-year material?”
Quan Zhisui: “Exactly. They’ve finished the first semester of third year and are now teaching the second semester. It’s like they want to cram the entire high school curriculum into the first semester of second year.”
Ling Ruoyun expressed deep sympathy: “Well, good luck to you too.”
Quan Zhisui high-fived her. They both had to shine in their respective fields!
After the first class in the afternoon.
Senior Zi Yin checked out of the hotel and came to Liang High School to say goodbye. She brought the clothes she had bought for Quan Zhisui and placed them in the corner by her seat in the last row. She also slipped her two thousand yuan.
Quan Zhisui reluctantly walked Zi Yin to the school gate.
“Go back now. I’ll visit you again when I have time,” Zi Yin said, patting her head.
Quan Zhisui’s eyes turned red, but she didn’t say anything. She knew this was just a comforting remark. Zi Yin was her master’s prized disciple and had her own family and daughter. The responsibilities and pressures of adulthood were different from the academic stress of a student.
Zi Yin patted her back again and said, “The master has a message for you.”
“What is it?” Quan Zhisui’s eyes lit up.
Zi Yin smiled: “Cultivate in the secular world, the diamond path, no breakthrough without destruction.”
Quan Zhisui was stunned. Her master already knew about her situation.
She hadn’t said a word.
At this thought, Quan Zhisui raised her sleeve to wipe her tears again.
Suddenly, a shadow fell beside her, and a hand holding a tissue appeared.
“Using your sleeve? That’s not very hygienic.”
Wei Shixu didn’t sit down. He just stood there, watching her cry until her sleeve was soaked from wiping her tears.
Quan Zhisui quickly wiped her face with her sleeve, stood up, and walked away without looking at him.
She would never accept a tissue from Wei Shixu!
Wei Shixu looked up at the trees above the bench. Their yellow leaves fluttered down with the gentle breeze.
Damn it, he felt like crying too!
-----------------
Two days later.
Another transfer student arrived at Liang High. She was a sports student named Lu Qin, assigned to Class 8.
Lu Qin became famous almost immediately. On her first day, during the first break, she walked from one end of the U-shaped teaching building to the farthest end, reaching Class 1.
“Hi, I’m looking for Wei Shixu,” she said with a smile, asking a classmate by the window to relay the message.
At that moment, Quan Zhisui, Zhuge Ying, and Kong Mingze were eating snacks in a corner of the hallway. Hearing this, Kong Mingze and Zhuge Ying immediately turned to look.
Only Quan Zhisui showed no reaction, opening another pack of crackers.
Crunch, crunch!
The classmate by the window was surprised. It had been a long time since any girl had come looking for Wei Shixu, ever since Quan Zhisui had appeared.
But the classmate still turned toward the front corner and called out, “Wei Shixu! Someone’s here to see you!”
Wei Shixu glanced outside, waved his hand, and went back to watching a movie.
The classmate shrugged at Lu Qin: “Sorry, he’s busy. Haha.”
But Lu Qin remained calm and composed. She smiled and said, “Could you tell him that I have something I’d like him to pass on to Old Mr. Wei Jingsan?”
The classmate was taken aback. This time, he didn’t shout. Instead, he walked over to Wei Shixu’s seat to relay the message.
Not long after, Wei Shixu stepped out of the classroom.
He stood two meters away, sizing up Lu Qin, and asked, “You have something for my grandfather?”
This was certainly unusual.
Lu Qin didn’t move, maintaining the safe distance Wei Shixu had established. She took out a small wooden box, about the size of a phone, and handed it to him.
“Hello, Wei Shixu. My name is Lu Qin. Twelve years ago, there was an accident at my kindergarten. Your grandfather’s private rescue team was the first to arrive and pulled me from the rubble. He saved my life.”
“Now that I’ve grown up, I found out that we’re in the same school and the same grade. I was so happy!”
“Could you please pass this small gift on to your grandfather for me?”
As she spoke, many people by the window leaned out to watch.
Hearing this, everyone was visibly surprised.
A girl saved by Wei Shixu’s grandfather twelve years ago had transferred to his school, and now they were meeting to pass on a gift.
It felt like fate!
