Wen Tingxue raised her eyes happily. When her gaze met the boy's cold eyes, she was a little stunned.
By the time she wanted to look closer, the boy had already squatted down in front of her.
"Brother will go get the medicine. You wait here obediently."
He gently squeezed her fingertip, which had already been cleaned. The smell of iodine and disinfectant was a bit pungent.
It was much more pungent than he remembered, so much so that he always wanted to hit someone.
But the moment he looked up, all emotions were contained.
Even the dangerous and sinister look that Wen Tingxue inadvertently caught disappeared, leaving only worry and heartache.
It was as if that glance had been her own illusion.
"Mm?"
The boy smiled slightly, a lazy nasal sound escaping, with a hint of teasing.
"Don't want to part with your brother?"
The boy's palm was dry and warm, covering the back of her hand, which was cold from the medicine, making her feel particularly comfortable.
Wen Tingxue came back to her senses, her round apricot eyes curving into crescent moons.
"Okay."
She was sensible enough not to ask further questions.
After the boy squeezed her face and turned to leave, the little girl stared at his tall, clear back and blinked.
"Brother Yu is so gentle and considerate, it must have been my imagination just now, right?"
She thought.
Then she nodded to herself with certainty.
"It must have been my imagination."
"Brother Yu is kind and good-hearted, how could he be dangerous?"
"It must have been me who saw wrong!"
At the same time, outside the infirmary.
Chi Zerui held an unlit cigarette between his fingers and swept his emotionless, dark eyes over the girl in front of him.
Only when the girl was trembling all over did he speak unhurriedly.
"Who told you to do it?"
"No..."
The girl who tripped Wen Tingxue was also injured, and when a group of boys brought her over.
She had completely forgotten her own pain and was only afraid.
But she still had to try her best to lie.
Chi Zerui sneered and interrupted her without mercy:
"You'd better explain everything honestly while I still have patience, otherwise I can't guarantee what I'll do."
He tilted his head, his thin, red lips curling slightly, danger emanating from him.
The girl's face instantly turned pale.
Chi Zerui had a notorious reputation; he often gave people the impression of being a spoiled young master who was irresponsible.
But many people didn't know that Chi Zerui's ruthlessness and romanticism coexisted.
In fact, his ruthlessness sometimes surpassed his romanticism.
It was just that in recent years, he had acted fewer times, and his romantic debts were many.
So people gradually forgot about Chi Zerui's fierceness.
But as long as he wanted to, he was still the Chi Zerui who was respected and feared by the high schools in Jiangcheng.
Otherwise, why would none of his many ex-girlfriends or romantic rivals dare to confront him?
The girl's whole body felt cold as she clutched the hem of her clothes, seemingly weighing the consequences of speaking or not speaking.
Chi Zerui was not in a hurry. He slowly took out a lighter and elegantly lit his cigarette.
The moment the thin mist was exhaled, the girl surrendered.
She swallowed with difficulty and said tremblingly, "It was... it was Yu Yahe. She pushed her out. If I didn't listen, she would have..."
"Enough."
Chi Zerui lazily raised his hand, impatience written between his brows.
"I don't have the mood to listen to your complaints, get lost."
Xie Jinyi, who rushed over upon hearing the news, saw a group of boys from class one and class three walking downstairs.
At the same time, a girl with messy hair sat slumped in front of Chi Zerui, wanting to cry but afraid to.
As for Chi Zerui, he stood with his hands on the iron railing, smoking, with very little emotion in his eyes.
When he saw Xie Jinyi, there was no particular reaction.
He just pointed to a spot with the hand holding the cigarette.
Xie Jinyi nodded her thanks and then pushed open the infirmary door.
...
"Tingxue!"
Xie Jinyi quickly found Wen Tingxue and saw her bandaged hands.
Her eyes turned red as she blew on them, "It's all my fault. I insisted on watching Chi Zerui play basketball at that time.
'Woo woo woo~ If I hadn't gone, maybe I could have protected you. How could you be so seriously injured? Does it hurt?'
She cried more than Wen Tingxue, making Wen Tingxue laugh and cry.
"Oh, don't cry. If you keep crying, I'll start crying too. It doesn't really hurt that much, it just looks scary."
The little girl's hands were bandaged, so she couldn't get her tissues.
She had to wipe away tears with the gauze on her hands, her posture clumsy and cute.
When Chi Zerui stomped out his cigarette and came in, he saw this scene and frowned.
But hearing her answer, he couldn't help but curve his lips upwards, seeming quite happy.
It doesn't hurt that much...
Heh.
The same answer as him.
It seemed that the little girl only softened her attitude in front of Brother Yu.
Interesting.
Chi Zerui didn't go in. After Yu Wenli brought the medicine and candy, he reported truthfully.
"As I guessed, it has something to do with Yu Yahe. I've already sent someone to find her. How do you plan to deal with it?"
Based on his understanding of Yu Wenli, he would definitely retaliate doubly.
Although Yu Wenli looked noble and gentle, he was actually ruthless at heart.
Otherwise, he, who was so proud, would not have willingly called him Brother Yu.
To his surprise, Yu Wenli paused for a few seconds and then said in a cold voice, "It's up to her."
As long as she was happy, he would compromise on anything.
The important thing was that he didn't want to scare her.
In her impression, Yu Wenli was gentle and warm, so he would continue to be gentle and warm.
He couldn't scare the little girl away.
Chi Zerui's mouth twitched. "I thought you were just saying that back then."
On the rooftop of the multimedia building, he had asked the same question, and he had thrown back a sentence: 'It's up to her.'
He had never taken it seriously. Now it seemed that the little girl had unknowingly occupied his entire heart.
Tsk.
Truly unexpected.
He thought Brother Yu would remain single his entire life.
...
As Yu Wenli peeled a candy and fed it to the little girl, Yu Yahe was brought in.
She was almost thrown in with the force one would use to discard trash.
As a result, she stumbled several steps before she could stand still.
The shyness of being fed candy in public was greatly diminished by this scene.
The little girl's left cheek bulged slightly as she looked up at Yu Wenli, not understanding.
Her enchanting watery eyes blinked, asking silently.
Yu Wenli reached out and hooked her small, tender chin, explaining in a low voice.
"She was the one who had someone push you. She ruined your 800 meters. How do you want to deal with her?"
Yu Wenli was skilled at playing with people's hearts, deliberately bringing up the nearly finished 800-meter race at this moment.
It wasn't that he regretted the excellent score, but he wanted to harden the little girl's heart.
At least, don't be so kind.
Under everyone's gaze, Yu Yahe's face turned ugly, and she even looked scared, her breathing becoming chaotic.
"I..."
Yu Yahe's heart raced as she licked her dry lips, and she took a step back.
"It wasn't intentional either. I... how could I know I would bump into her!"
She stubbornly refused to admit her fault.
"It can only be blamed on... her bad luck. How could she be so unlucky to be bumped into by someone."
Wen Tingxue looked at Yu Yahe's unrepentant face, her eyes growing colder, even the sweetness on her tongue couldn't suppress the chill.
