Chapter 8: The Honest Star Who Reveals His True Heart 1
"What? You said Yao Shanshan was expelled from the student union? Why?"
After two days of rest, the injury on my leg has begun to heal. Apart from a little pain when walking, it no longer affects my daily activities.
The smell of disinfectant in the hospital was so bad. When I got home, I was facing empty walls. In order to stop myself from having wild thoughts, I packed my schoolbag and went to school that day.
However, just after entering the school gate, Ai Keqi, who came over from somewhere, told me a shocking news.
I looked at him in disbelief, and I couldn't understand how such a big thing could happen in the school in just two days. That arrogant Yao Shanshan was actually expelled from the student union?
Hearing my question, Ai Keqi's steps seemed to pause, but soon became brisk again, and there was not much emotion in his voice: "Anyway, no one will bother you anymore, just go to class with peace of mind!"
After sending me to the classroom, he left me and walked away without looking back.
Really, I hate people who only speak half-heartedly!
I had missed two days of classes due to an injury, so I listened to this class very carefully. If I didn’t understand something, I quickly wrote it down in my notebook and planned to ask the teacher after class.
After the bell rang, I quickly organized my notes.
With a "bang", the tightly closed classroom door was suddenly pushed open. Everyone was startled and I couldn't help but look up.
"Bai Jie Ni! You despicable person!"
A sharp voice rang out, and Yao Shanshan rushed over to me with a red face, pointing at my nose and cursing like a madman.
To be honest, it was the first time I saw Yao Shanshan so disregarding her image. She had obviously been crying, her eyes were swollen like walnuts, and her usual superior demeanor was replaced by madness, especially her eyes full of hatred, which stared at me as if they were poisoned.
There was silence all around, no one reacted, and I was completely stunned, not knowing how to react.
However, this was a provocation to the furious Yao Shanshan, and she pushed the book on my desk to the ground, and then reached out to grab my collar. I dodged reflexively, and her hand suddenly missed.
"Senior Yao, what are you doing here? It's not time for the Student Union's inspection yet, right?" At the critical moment, the usually honest monitor with glasses stood up and stood in front of Yao Shanshan.
Although I am very grateful to him for saving me, why does he have to bring up such irrelevant issues?
As a result, Yao Shanshan, who had already lost her mind, seemed to have her anger switch pressed. She slapped the desk with her eyes blazing with fire, and her eyes shot out a murderous cold light.
"Student Union? Don't you know I've been expelled? It's because of her!" Yao Shanshan stared at me as if she were an irreconcilable enemy. "It's all your fault! Bai Jie Ni! You actually instigated the study group to complain to the college and caused me to lose the trust of the teacher. You are so shameless!"
"I didn't!" I quickly raised my hands to clarify.
Please! I have been recuperating at home these past two days and have no idea what happened. Why did Yao Shanshan blame me?
"No?" The furious Yao Shanshan obviously didn't believe it. She looked at me with a sneer on her face. "If you hadn't deliberately injured yourself when you were punished and went to complain to the people in the study group, how could the school think that I was taking revenge on you? What a joke! I, Yao Shanshan, am fighting for school discipline. All those who violate school discipline should be severely punished. Only a despicable villain like you and the bastards in the study group would do such shameless things behind the scenes. I..."
"Senior Yao Shanshan!" The monitor with glasses, who finally couldn't stand it any longer, suddenly shouted. He pointed at the door of the classroom with an unpleasant expression, "This is our first-grade classroom! You and Bai Jie Ni should resolve the conflict somewhere else! If you continue to make trouble here, I will tell the teacher and let the teacher judge for you!"
The monitor's words finally calmed down Yao Shanshan, who was about to lose her temper. She seemed to realize her situation only now. Her face turned red and then white, white and then red, like a color palette. Finally, she threw down a word unwillingly, turned around and rushed out of the classroom.
"Anyway, I won't let you go. Just wait and see!"
Until her figure disappeared at the door, her final threat was still echoing in my ears.
"Student Bai Jie Ni, you..." The class monitor who was still standing in front of me looked at me with a complicated look, then shook his head and returned to his seat without saying anything.
I said "thank you" and sat down, but my mind suddenly became clear.
Although Yao Shanshan acted like a madman just now, I could still hear some information from her words. When thinking about what Ai Keqi said this morning, I am almost certain that Yao Shanshan's expulsion from the Student Union must have something to do with me.
But why did she say that I was the one who instigated the study group to file a complaint? I clearly didn't...
Huh? Wrong! My pen, which was scribbling on the paper, suddenly stopped.
Could it be... Norn?
I stared blankly at the notebook in front of me that was scribbled all over. The thoughts in my mind were as tangled as those crisscross lines. The questions that I had deliberately suppressed deep in my heart suddenly came like a flood, occupying all my thoughts in an instant.
Could it really be... Norn?
I bit the pen unconsciously. He clearly didn't even want to see me, leaving me alone in the school history exhibition hall facing darkness and fear. If that's the case, why did he...
…
"Noen asked me to save you!"
"where is he?"
"Just outside the door - huh? Why is it gone?"
…
The conversation that day when I was carried out of the exhibition hall by Aikeqi came to my mind again, and I suddenly found that I couldn’t understand Norn at all.
Why is it that every time I think he is good to me, reality slaps me in the face? I clearly feel his tenderness, but every time he pushes me away.
I even began to doubt whether I had ever really approached him.
Because Yao Shanshan came to the classroom and caused such a scene, for the next half day, no classmates around me dared to talk to me. The relationship between classmates, which had just eased a little, dropped to freezing point again.
No matter where I go, there seems to be people whispering behind my back. I don't need to listen to know that they must be curious about how powerful my backing is to make Yao Shanshan, who is very arrogant in the college, fall so hard.
In fact, I'd like to know that myself.
After lunch, I wandered around the campus alone. As I walked, I found myself at the entrance of the Ancient Drama Club.
Thinking of Yao Shanshan's final threats, I had a bad feeling deep in my heart and desperately wanted to find someone to talk to about my concerns.
After hesitating for a few seconds, I raised my hand and knocked on the door of the drama club.
"is that so?"
In the Ancient Drama Club, after listening to my narration, Senior Sister Qianqian raised her hand to adjust her glasses on the bridge of her nose and pushed the teacup on the table towards me: "Don't worry, Yao Shanshan is not a big problem."
"But, senior sister, I always feel like she knows something. That day..." I was no longer in the mood to drink tea. I was eager to make her believe my judgment.
However, Senior Sister Qianqian did not let me finish. She smiled and patted my hands, looking into my eyes soothingly: "Believe me, Jenny! The study group has seen all kinds of storms. Yao Shanshan can't cause any big waves. But you..."
She paused, looking at me with twinkling eyes: "What happened between you and Norn? He seems to have lost his soul these past few days, wandering around in the Flowing Light Castle every day, not even cooking, and always staring at his phone in a daze. Are you...having a quarrel?"
"I..." Facing the concerned gaze of Senior Qianqian, my nose suddenly felt sore, and a heat quickly spread to my eyes, "I don't know, I don't think I know him at all."
As I was talking, my shoulders slumped and I suddenly felt extremely wronged.
"What happened? Can you tell me?"
There was no one else in the drama club at noon. The gentle voice of my senior sister Qianqian rang out in the empty environment, like a breeze blowing across my anxious heart, making me instantly want to let it all out.
"Senior." I raised my head, barely suppressing the soreness in my eyes, and briefly recounted what happened that day.
Finally, I couldn't suppress my doubts and resentment any more, and asked with a choked voice, "He was clearly outside, but he didn't come to save me. If he still cared about me, why did he do that? Why would he rather watch me get hurt and ask Ai Keqi to help than come in and save me himself?"
Incoherent words came out of my mouth all at once. The question that had been tormenting me and driving me crazy these days was finally asked. I stared at senior student Qianqian nervously, expecting her to give me an answer.
"Oh...Jenny." Under my gaze, senior sister Qianqian suddenly sighed. She seemed to want to say something, but finally gave up and just looked at me with more and more complicated eyes.
"Senior, you don't know what happened to him?" I asked cautiously.
"I..." Senior Qianqian glanced at me and shook her head. "It's not that I don't want to tell you, but there are some things that I think only make sense when the person involved speaks out. In short, you have to believe that everything has a reason, and what you see with your own eyes may not be the truth."
What you see with your own eyes is not necessarily the truth?
Why do I not understand what Senior Qianqian means? Is she saying that Norn has his reasons for doing that? What are his reasons? Why can't she tell me?
More and more questions piled up in my mind. Just as I was about to open my mouth to ask more questions, Senior Student Qianqian had already changed the subject.
"Okay!" As if she was afraid that I would say something else, Senior Sister Qianqian suddenly clapped her hands exaggeratedly, stood up excitedly and said to me , "Let's talk about something happy! This weekend is my birthday, and I will hold a small birthday party at Liuguang Castle. Jenny, you must come to participate!"
After saying that, without even waiting for my reaction, she nodded and said, "Then it's settled!"
When you go to Flowing Light Castle, you will meet Norn. I haven’t figured out how to face him yet.
I……
Can I refuse, please?
