Chapter 1 Dust Hiding in the World 04
I searched outside for most of the night but still couldn't find Ning Qiyuan, so I had to go home. When I got home, I was so tired that I collapsed on the sofa and fell asleep, but I didn't sleep well. I would wake up immediately when I heard the slightest noise and run outside to see if Ning Qiyuan had returned. I went back and forth like this several times, until the second half of the night when I was finally too tired to fall asleep.
Perhaps I was worried about Ning Qiyuan, I searched for him everywhere even in my dreams, but to no avail. As I slept, my consciousness gradually became clearer, but I vaguely thought I was sleeping in bed, and I turned over unconsciously, and immediately lost my balance and fell to the ground. I hit my head on the ground, and my injured nose also hit the floor. The pain made me scream "Ah", and I almost cried.
Before I got up from the ground, a burst of laughter suddenly rang in my ears.
I looked up and saw Ning Qiyuan standing not far in front of me, looking down at me with a cold and arrogant expression.
"When did you come back?" I suddenly came to my senses and asked him while rubbing my nose.
"Wipe your saliva before you talk." He ignored me, just chuckled arrogantly, turned around and left me his back.
saliva?
I jumped up and looked in the mirror in the living room. Sure enough, I saw half-dried saliva at the corner of my mouth. My face felt a little hot, so I quickly wiped it off with my hand. I shouted at Ning Qiyuan in the bathroom with a lack of confidence: "Hurry up, I want to brush my teeth too!"
Ning Qiyuan was really quick. He stayed in the bathroom for nearly 20 minutes before he opened the door refreshed. I was already waiting at the door and asked, "Did you fall into the toilet?"
"Eye booger." Ning Qiyuan said concisely.
"What?" I was a little confused.
Ning Qiyuan sneered again and raised his hand towards my face. I subconsciously tried to hide, but one of his hands quickly went around the back of my head and held my neck, making it impossible for me to hide. At the same time, his other hand also touched my face. His fingertips were warm, and then he picked a lump of eye mucus from the corner of my eye, and shook his finger with my eye mucus in front of my eyes, and then wiped his hands on my clothes.
This series of actions left me a little dazed. By the time I reacted and realized what he had just done, he had already pushed me into the bathroom and closed the door.
I quickly packed up and opened the door to argue with him, but I saw Ning Qiyuan was already changing his shoes at the door. I asked in surprise, "Are you going to school?"
Ning Qiyuan turned his head and looked at me as if I were an idiot: "You're not going?"
"Of course!" I immediately rushed into the room and changed my clothes. I originally thought that after the commotion in the principal's office yesterday, Ning Qiyuan really wouldn't go, but since he was so "sensible", I decided not to bother with him about what happened before.
The school was not far from home, so Ning Qiyuan and I walked one after the other and arrived there in a short while. As soon as we arrived at the school gate, we ran into Xi Jiang who got off the car.
I immediately quickened my pace, trying to avoid him, but Xi Jiang had already seen me. He ran over to me in two steps, smiling and asking flatteringly, "Shuchen, have you had breakfast? Does your nose still hurt?"
I wanted to avoid him, not because I hated Xi Jiang, but because I couldn't stand his clinging skills. Ever since my father and his men rescued Xi Jiang from kidnapping a year ago, Xi Jiang has been pestering me under the pretext of repaying his lifesaver's daughter. No matter how I tried to hide, escape, or reject him, he would stick to me again and again like an indestructible cockroach. In this school, the person I was most afraid of seeing was Xi Jiang, no one else.
"Pretty boy, what does it have to do with you?" Before I could say anything, Ning Qiyuan said to him in a bad tone.
Xi Jiang, who had a pretty face, didn't realize the danger of Ning Qiyuan at all, and replied: "You are the pretty face." Then he said to me with an expression that he was about to praise me: "Shuchen, don't worry about Ning Qiyuan's matter. I helped you solve it yesterday. Dong Jianren's parents have agreed not to care about this matter anymore." After that, he said to Ning Qiyuan in a parent's tone, "Hey, these are the last few days, don't cause trouble for Shuchen anymore. If it weren't for Shuchen, I would hope you would be expelled from school."
As soon as I finished speaking, I saw Ning Qiyuan's face darken a little, so I immediately stood in front of him. After I was sure that he couldn't catch Xi Jiang, I smiled and said to Xi Jiang: "Thank you, Xi Jiang, it's really troublesome for you."
Unfortunately, Xi Jiang didn't understand what I meant at all. He blushed and said shyly, "It's no trouble, your business is my business. It doesn't matter. I just spent a little money to settle it. You don't have to feel guilty..."
"Mind your own business." Ning Qiyuan snorted disdainfully, interrupting Xi Jiang's next words, then grabbed my wrist and walked away.
I was caught off guard and he pulled me so hard that I staggered and almost fell.
"Shu Chen, wait for me, I haven't finished speaking! Ning Qiyuan, let Shu Chen go..." Xi Jiang hurriedly caught up and kept accusing Ning Qiyuan.
"Ning Qiyuan, let me go, I can walk by myself." I twisted my wrist, it really hurt because of his grip.
Ning Qiyuan ignored me and still pulled me away with a cold face.
After a few steps, Xi Jiang caught up with me and stretched out his hand to pull me away from Ning Qiyuan's hand, but Ning Qiyuan seemed to have seen through his intention long ago. He pulled me back a step, leaving Xi Jiang empty-handed. At the same time, he let go of me and grabbed Xi Jiang's collar with his backhand.
"You...what are you going to do?" Xi Jiang was so scared that he couldn't speak. His glasses fell off his nose and he put them back in place with trembling hands.
I thought Ning Qiyuan was angry and wanted to punish Xi Jiang, so I was about to come over to stop him. But Ning Qiyuan turned around and looked at me coldly, threatening me: "If you come over again, I will really do it."
I stopped immediately: "Ning Qiyuan, don't cause trouble."
Ning Qiyuan snorted lightly, turned around and squinted his eyes and asked Xi Jiang: "You are nearsighted, but your eyes should not be blind, right?"
"No, I'm not blind..."
"Since you're not blind, you should be able to see it." Ning Qiyuan approached Xi Jiang, his tone full of his usual arrogance, "I don't like you, so you'd better get out of here and stop wandering around in front of me. Otherwise, I'll make you come standing and walk sideways."
