Chapter 2 Even if he is gone, you can't say anything about him 3
I stared at him seriously for a full ten seconds, and only after I was sure that there was no sign of unhappiness on that handsome face did I listen to him and lowered my head to continue eating.
But my ears continued to drift to the side uncontrollably, listening to every word the people at the next table were saying.
Those boys and girls clearly belonged to the very unpopular group in the school. They were not good-looking, their words were not impressive, and they did not have any outstanding personalities. They usually just relied on gathering together with like-minded people to make a lot of noise and attract attention - so much so that at this moment, when they talked about Ye Jing, the jealousy on their faces looked extremely obvious.
Unconsciously, I frowned and clenched the chopsticks in my hand tighter and tighter.
"I heard about it too! It seems that Ye Jing's parents have already gone to school to complete the formalities for suspension of study!" The girl with a ponytail is still so young, but her words are so vicious that they are jaw-dropping. "I think, why bother to apply for suspension of study? Just drop out. You're already a vegetable anyway, and you can forget about coming to school again for the rest of your life."
"Yes, yes, he didn't like to talk to people before. I don't know what he has to be proud of. What's so great about being handsome? Who cares? Do you think the world will stop moving without him, Ye Jing?" The ordinary face of the girl with short hair was filled with unwillingness, but she said words that were completely inconsistent with her expression.
Another girl next to her immediately laughed and teased her: "Who was it that went to give Ye Jing a love letter and chocolates before? Did you two go?"
"So what if you went? It was just for fun—" The two girls blushed and retorted, "Didn't you go? You've been there before..."
"If I were to say, this is karma."
The boys sitting with them immediately took over the conversation, one after another, with jealousy visible on their acne-covered faces: "Who told Ye Jing to be so flamboyant in school? Maybe even God can't stand it!"
"Hahaha--"
Those people burst into laughter.
I sat up straight, staring at the boy sitting opposite me without blinking.
He still seemed to have not heard it, and smiled lazily with one corner of his mouth raised. In the warm sunshine, those big, shining eyes made people feel palpitations unconsciously.
"Luo Huayin, are you still going to eat? Wasting food is a shameful act..."
I frowned, stared at him without blinking, and lowered my voice: "Didn't you hear what they were saying about you?"
"I heard it, I'm not deaf, why are you so serious? It's okay." Ye Jing glanced at me, then with his signature smile, he touched his chin thoughtfully, "Ha, actually, I think what they said is not completely unreasonable, right? After all, not everyone can be so handsome... right? Well, eat well and stop eavesdropping on other people's conversations ."
He raised his eyebrows at me and suddenly smiled brightly.
I stood up suddenly and slammed my chopsticks on the table.
Ye Jing was startled by me unexpectedly and seemed not to react. He just stared at me with his big eyes.
I turned around, as if I didn't notice the surprised and puzzled looks around me, and looked directly at the people next to me.
"Have you said enough ?"
I swear, this is the first time in my life that I have spoken in public with such a loud voice.
But I didn't feel timid at all. I just felt a nameless anger filling every cell in my body and almost bursting out of my head.
"It's incomprehensible! Who are you?"
Soon, those people came to their senses and looked at me unhappily: "What does what we say have to do with you?"
I clenched my hands tightly, my face flushed, and I shouted loudly, "You are not allowed to say that about Ye Jing! You are not allowed to! What gives you the right to say that about him?"
"Hey! Which class are you from? What does Ye Jing have to do with you?" The three girls stood up with unhappy faces, looking at me shaking with anger, and laughed at me with disdain, "Are you a 'brainless fan ' of Ye Jing? Are you secretly in love with Ye Jing? Haha, don't dream, let alone when Ye Jing was in school, even if he became a vegetable now, you wouldn't have the slightest chance! How can you be the one to speak for Ye Jing?"
"Why don't you look in the mirror to see what you look like? That's ridiculous. What's it to you what we say?"
"I haven't seen you in school before. Hey, nympho, which class are you in?"
I clenched my fists and stared at those people with my red eyes, and continued to yell stubbornly: "It doesn't matter what you say about me, but don't say that about Ye Jing anymore! He's already in the hospital, don't you have any sympathy at all?"
Maybe I shouted too loudly, and for a moment, they all looked at me with wide eyes, without saying a word.
I glared at them, not wanting to stay here for another second.
Turning around, I ran out of the cafeteria without looking back, as if I didn't notice the gazes from all directions that were looking at me as if I were a monster.
