"Teacher, you can't just listen to her side of the story, can you?"
Wen Tingxue wasn't afraid of being misunderstood. She had been misunderstood countless times since she was little.
She didn't care.
But her parents, who were such good people, couldn't be slandered as unfilial by her grandmother!
Wen Di didn't want to hear her speak, his voice laced with sparks.
"Get out!!"
Regardless of how much truth there was in the old lady's words today.
He only knew one thing: the kindness of upbringing was greater than the sky!
But this young girl in front of him seemed to only care about her own emotions.
She didn't care about the elder's life or death at all. Was that little bit of support money really that difficult for their family?
Why be so petty?!
Wen Tingxue swallowed back the explanation that was about to escape her lips.
Her pale face trembled slightly. She looked at Wen Di with disappointment for a few seconds, then turned and left without looking back.
Perhaps it was the tragic look in her eyes, but Wen Di stared at the girl's slender back for a while.
He felt a pang of sympathy.
But he felt he had done nothing wrong.
So he continued with his work, and his previous words had long been forgotten.
It wasn't until the day the cruel truth was revealed that he knew how terribly wrong he had been today.
However, by then, everything had been decided.
-
Physical education class.
When Wen Tingxue arrived, the sports committee member was taking attendance. He paused when he saw her.
The physical education teacher frowned and asked with displeasure:
"Where have you been? Why are you only arriving now?"
Wen Tingxue dejectedly clenched the corner of her clothes and truthfully replied:
"The homeroom teacher called me to the office."
"Is that so," the physical education teacher's expression softened. "Then rejoin the group, and you won't be marked late."
She wasn't present during roll call, and according to the original requirements, she would have had to run laps.
Wen Tingxue nodded, her eyes lacking much spirit.
The sports committee member of Class One paid a little more attention, then smilingly said to the physical education teacher.
"Why don't our class start testing first? I see Class Four isn't quite ready yet."
The 800-meter test from the previous class had been postponed to this class due to the rain.
The physical education teacher was indifferent and nodded, "Then just a brief warm-up, and Class One will start running."
The girls in Class One wailed, all cursing the sports committee member of Class One for being sharp-tongued.
The sports committee member of Class One rubbed the back of his head and replied with a smile, unperturbed.
However, as he passed Yu Wenli, he couldn't help but seek praise.
"Yu Dashen, I did the right thing, didn't I?"
His large eyes seemed to be screaming: "Praise me."
Yu Wenli glanced at him indifferently, then perfunctorily replied, "Yes."
The sports committee member of Class One eagerly asked, "What about the game?"
Yu Wenli stared at Wen Tingxue without any concealment, his tone very casual, "Log in tonight."
"Got it!"
Ever since they saw Yu Dashen proactively talking to a girl in the corridor last time.
The boys in their class had automatically reached a consensus: the only way to get Yu Dashen to carry them was to—
Take good care of the little girl.
This time, it was indeed true!
The sports committee member smacked his lips, suddenly feeling that the distance between him and Dashen wasn't that far.
After all, they were all mortals, how could they not have earthly desires?
...
After a simple warm-up, the girls from Class One began their test.
The girls from Class Four waited nearby.
As for the boys, they were led by the sports committee members of both classes to test their pull-ups.
Wen Tingxue had things on her mind, and Yu Wenli looked at her several times, but she didn't notice.
It wasn't until he left that she looked up as if sensing something.
The boys from both classes mingled together, walking like a large troop towards the horizontal bars.
They were all wearing black school uniforms, and it was impossible to tell who was who.
But Yu Wenli's aura was so unique that even if he were placed in a crowd of thousands,
She could still find him at a glance.
Just like last time, he was surrounded by many people, even more than before.
Wen Tingxue stared blankly at his retreating figure, not expecting him to sense anything.
After all, so many people were looking at him.
Almost all the girls from both classes were looking in that direction.
But in the next second, Yu Wenli turned his head, his gaze meeting hers squarely.
As if guided by fate, in that instant, the entire vast playground seemed to contain only the two of them.
Wen Tingxue's heart pounded, faster and faster.
In the end, she forgot the worries brought by Wu Shangrong, her mind filled only with the young man's faint smile.
"Yo yo yo, are you sending love signals from afar?"
Xie Jinye teased with a smile.
But when he followed her gaze, Yu Wenli had already retracted his gaze.
He was standing in front of lush green plants, seemingly talking to the sports committee member.
His tall and elegant figure was captivating even from afar.
"Oh, don't talk nonsense."
The young girl shyly covered her face, her voice soft and sweet.
Xie Jinye, looking at her, couldn't help but want to tease her a bit more.
Suddenly, a deafening scream came from the distance.
Everyone immediately stopped talking and turned to look.
They found that a match was underway on the sports field.
Chi Zerui, for some unknown reason, directly tore off his red hooded sweatshirt.
His slender waist, abs, and mermaid line were all revealed.
What's more, as a boy, his skin was finer and fairer than any girl's, and it was dazzling even from a distance.
No wonder there were screams from over there, and even from over here.
"Wow! Young Master Chi has a great figure!"
"What's going on? I really want to go watch."
"You want to go see his abs, don't you?"
"Ahhh, Young Master Chi is really handsome!"
The girls from both classes' eyes lit up, looking like adoring fans.
The physical education teacher smiled helplessly and called out, "Alright, alright, hurry up and test, you can watch properly after you're done."
...
When the girls from Class Four were testing, Chi Zerui's match was already over.
A group of boys were laughing and walking towards them.
In the center of the group was a girl.
But she was clearly no longer the class beauty from Class Ten last time.
There was a sigh from the surrounding crowd, but no one was surprised.
After all, Chi Zerui was known for being a playboy.
With the sound of a whistle, eight girls rushed out simultaneously. Wen Tingxue was on the outer lane, so she took the lead for a moment.
But with something weighing on her mind, she channeled her anger into motivation, and she was actually in first place.
She was a full hundred meters ahead of the second-place runner.
Yu Wenli, having finished his pull-ups, was walking towards them at a leisurely pace.
Although a group of boys followed him, chattering about various things,
His gaze was always fixed on the little girl running with all her might.
As the 800 meters was about to end, and the little girl was nearing the finish line, someone suddenly rushed out from the side of the track, like a shooting star, and slammed directly into Wen Tingxue.
The force of the impact sent her several steps back.
The harshness of her fall on the ground made even the onlookers wince.
"Ah—!"
As the screams erupted.
Wen Tingxue lay on the ground, her bloodied fingers trembling slightly.
The pain hit her with a delay, and she only felt her vision blur, her ears buzzing.
In a daze, she seemed to see the young man's suddenly changed expression, a panic and fierceness she had never seen before.
He pushed aside everyone in his way, rushing towards her desperately.
Wen Tingxue blinked laboriously, as if wanting to see more clearly.
But the next second, she was pulled into a warm embrace.
A slightly unfamiliar scent of tobacco wafted into her nostrils.
Against the light, she squinted to make out who it was after a long while.
"Chi Zerui...?"
Although her weak voice was almost inaudible, Chi Zerui still caught it.
He frowned tightly, staring at the blood on her palm, and comforted her somewhat clumsily, "It's me, don't be afraid."
