Chapter 05 Do you like me? 1
"Wei Jimo..." I called him softly, but got no response from him.
"Wei Jimo..." I stretched out my finger and poked him gently. Wei Jimo was like a puppet, motionless, allowing me to manipulate him.
"Hey, Wei Jimu, why don't you say something!" Wei Jimu buried his head between his knees, and no matter how I called him, he didn't respond to any of my words.
Only the blood dripping from his hands proved that he was still alive.
This guy must have suffered a huge blow!
I suddenly felt a little flustered, and hurriedly took out the remaining Band-Aid from my pocket that I had just put on Xiao Luonan, tore it open, and wanted to put it on Wei Jimu's wound.
Unexpectedly, Wei Jimo didn't appreciate it at all. The moment my fingers touched him, he quickly dodged away.
This damn guy is still being awkward even at this time! His kindness is really taken for granted!
I wanted to be angry, but for some reason, looking at the boy in front of me who was full of vigilance and precaution, I couldn't get angry at all.
"Wei Jimo, stop messing around." I softened my voice, with a gentleness in my tone that I didn't even notice. "Your hand is injured and it's bleeding. Let me bandage it for you, okay?"
Wei Jimo still didn't say anything, I sighed softly, took his hand, and started to put the band-aid on it. This time, he didn't resist at all, and obeyed like a gentle little lamb.
"Wei Jimo, there is no disinfectant here. I can only bandage it temporarily to stop the bleeding. Remember to go to the infirmary to clean the wound and rebandage it later, okay? It would be terrible if there are glass fragments left in the wound!"
Wei Jimo didn't give me any response, I could only talk to myself.
"Wei Jimo, don't worry. Everything will be fine. There will always be a way, right?"
"Wei Jimo, let's work together to find a solution, okay?"
"Wei Jimo..."
Even though I talked until my mouth was dry, Wei Jimo refused to pay any attention to me, and I suddenly felt a little frustrated.
"If it really doesn't work, I'll go tell the principal that you didn't damage the painting. Wei Jimo, don't be afraid, I'll testify for you!"
I stood up and wanted to leave.
"Don't go!" The president, who had been standing there like a statue, finally spoke. His voice was so hoarse that it almost scared me.
He held my hand, and pleaded anxiously, "Lin Yining, don't go. It's useless, they won't believe it!"
"Why?" For some reason, I always felt that Wei Jimo seemed to know something.
Otherwise, why is he so sure?
"You don't need to know why." Wei Jimu let go of my hand, his tone empty and almost desperate, "Anyway, it's useless, Lin Yining. This matter is not as simple as you think. So, don't meddle in other people's business!"
What?
I'm meddling in other people's business!
Wei Jimo, you are really like a dog biting Lu Dongbin, you don't know how to appreciate a good person!
I suddenly felt that if I stayed here and said one more word to him, I would be wasting my precious time.
Lin Yining, you should go back to listen to your music, read your comics, and get your beauty sleep!
I stood up to leave, and I heard Wei Jimo's vague but sincere voice behind me - "Lin Yining, thank you."
My steps stopped abruptly, and I sighed secretly. Lin Yining, why are you arguing with a wounded person?
Okay, Wei Jimo, just because of this thank you, I will take care of this matter!
"Wei Jimo, now is not the time to be polite to me." I turned around and walked to his side. I squatted down to look him in the eye. "Is there no other way?"
Wei Jimo remained silent and shook his head in the dark night.
"Can this painting be restored?"
"That's easier said than done. There are only two days left. Time is so tight. Where do you want me to find an expert to repair it?"
"Maybe, I have a way." I suddenly had an idea, "Wei Jimo, come with me."
In my excitement, I forgot the taboos, grabbed Wei Jimo's hand and stood up. And he seemed to have forgotten that he had mysophobia, and didn't even show any disgust or resistance.
"Wei Jimo, do you believe me?" I looked up at him with a serious look.
"I believe it!" In the dark night, he looked at me quietly, his clear black eyes flashing brighter than gems. "But, Lin Yining. Why do you want to help me?"
"I..." I was speechless.
In fact, I don’t even understand why I should help him.
"Weren't you going to expose me originally?" Seeing that I was silent, he didn't care. He just asked, "Then why are you helping me now?"
"Uh, how did you know?" I was so surprised that I forgot to hide it and betrayed myself as soon as I opened my mouth.
I quickly covered my mouth with my hand, as if there were ten thousand voices roaring in my heart.
Ahhh, I was wondering why Wei Jimo remained calm no matter how I provoked him! It turns out he already knew my purpose!
I have wasted all my efforts these days trying to expose his true face. In his eyes, my behavior is no different from that of a clown!
"Actually, I saw you after you came down from the rooftop that day." After a moment of silence, he spoke, "When you and Xiao Luonan came down from the rooftop, I recognized you - the editor-in-chief of the school's famous newspaper. I know you saw what I did on the rooftop, and I know you are very... very smart. I guess, with your personality, you will not miss such good news. So from the moment you approached me, I was on guard."
Wei Jimo's gaze was very frank, so frank that he seemed to be narrating someone else's story.
"So, you have been acting with me all this time?" I gritted my teeth, secretly hating myself.
Lin Yining, ah, Lin Yining, you have really brought shame upon yourself.
"You are the same, aren't you?" He shrugged and continued innocently, "It's just that, Lin Yining, why do you want to give up? Look, you are almost successful. As long as you don't help me, I don't know how long I can hold on. Why do you want to give up what you insist on and choose to help me at this time?"
Wei Jimo's words were sharp and to the point.
His gaze was sharper and more compelling than his words.
"Wei Jimo, I really hate hypocritical people, and I don't like the fact that you always wear a mask in front of everyone. So, I wanted to expose your fake face from the beginning." I looked into his eyes calmly and answered, "But, no matter how gossipy I am, no matter how much I want good news, it can't touch my bottom line. Right is right, and wrong is wrong. I know that you didn't do this. So, I can't find a reason not to help you!"
"Lin Yining, has anyone ever told you that you are...special?" Wei Jimo frowned, choosing his words carefully.
"Is it really annoying?" My heart moved, and suddenly I didn't dare to figure out the meaning of Wei Jimo's words.
Wei Jimo looked at me and didn't say anything.
I suddenly felt that the atmosphere became awkward.
"Okay, Wei Jimo! Stop talking nonsense. Do you believe me or not?"
A feeling of "anger and shame" arose in my heart. I tugged at Wei Jimo's sleeve and glared at him fiercely, as if I would execute him on the spot if he dared to say "no".
"I believe it." It was still those two simple words. Wei Jimo's voice was not loud, but sonorous and powerful.
"Then come with me." I gave him a look that said "you'd better know what's best for you", took his hand, and walked towards the direction of the famous painting.
"What?" He raised his eyebrows and looked at me, but his steps were unusually obedient, following me closely.
"Of course, it's to cover me up and get this painting out of the school." I shook off his hand, pulled over a stool, stood on it swiftly, and took down the famous painting hanging high on the wall. "I just remembered that because of work, my father knows an expert in restoring famous paintings. You help me transport this painting out of the school, and I'll help you find that uncle to restore it."
"Lin Yining," Wei Jimo took the famous painting I handed over and nimbly picked up my shaky body. His voice was as soft and lingering as a whisper in my ears, "This time, we really became thieves..."
"Is there a thief as beautiful as me?" I rolled my eyes at him and quickly stood up from his arms, trying to get rid of the tingling feeling his breath brought me.
"Lin Yining, you are not only special." A faint laugh escaped from Wei Jimo's throat . This was the first time I heard him smile from the heart tonight. "Your thickness of skin is also different from that of ordinary people!"
"Wei Jimo! Stop right there! If I catch you, you'll be dead!"
Ahhh, this damn Wei fox actually dared to indirectly call me shameless.
Just wait for me, a gentleman's revenge. No, a lady's revenge is never too late even after ten years!
Wei Jimo , one day, you will beg me for mercy. Humph!
