Chapter 5 Lowering

There was an awkward silence at the table, which was out of place with the noisy atmosphere of chatting and laughing around.

The silent girl sat with her back straight, her long eyelashes half-closed to hide all the emotions in her eyes.

Her profile glowed coldly under the illumination of the LED tube. As she lowered her head, her bangs fell down, and her face became a little hazy for a moment, making it difficult to understand her expression.

Liu Yue was still looking at Xi Ruan with a smile. Just when Zou Qingqing and Lu Xiaoping wanted to say a few words to ease the suffocating atmosphere, Xi Ruan turned to look at Liu Yue.

I saw her smiling slightly, and her fair face with some baby fat seemed to be radiating light under the light, and her deer eyes were clear and pure, as if no haze could stay in her eyes.

She pointed a thin white finger at her throat, then spread out her five fingers and waved them in front of her to indicate that she couldn't speak.

Liu Yue suddenly showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, "Oh~ You have a cold and your voice is hoarse, right?"

After saying that, Liu Yue looked at Xi Ruan's plate, stretched out her chopsticks and began to pick out the peppers on her plate, and said with concern: "You are sick, so don't eat spicy food. It will affect your recovery."

Xi Ruan looked at Liu Yue's actions without stopping them, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.

"Okay, I've picked them all." Liu Yue piled the peppers aside, smiled and patted Xi Ruan's head, "You have to get better soon. You're so beautiful, and your voice must be beautiful. Let's join the choir together later."

Xi Ruan's expression froze visibly, and his face darkened almost uncontrollably.

But Liu Yue didn't seem to notice it. She turned around and asked Zou Qingqing about the situation of the choir.

When she turned around again, she found Xi Ruan still in a daze, and asked in a strange tone: "What's wrong, Xi Ruan? Come and eat? Are you feeling unwell?"

Xi Ruan finally came back to his senses, smiled and shook his head at Liu Yue, then picked up the chopsticks again and lowered his head to eat.

It was as if... nothing had happened to her.

-

If it weren't for the shrill alarm in his head, Jiang Lingsi almost believed that Xi Ruan was as calm as she acted.

Jiang Lingsi, who had been leaning back in his chair watching the show, couldn't help but sneer and asked in his mind: [He dared not even show a bit of displeasure when being bullied like this, are you sure this soft-hearted guy can turn evil? ]

It was no coincidence that the woman looked so natural and frank, but every word she said hit people's sore spots.

Things like "affecting recovery", "good voice", "joining the choir", he didn't believe that she didn't know that this soft-hearted guy was mute and couldn't recover, couldn't make a nice voice, and couldn't sing.

Moreover, he clearly saw the triumphant smile on the woman's lips when Xi Ruan's face was stiff, but she concealed it by turning her head to talk to other people.

The system clearly felt that Jiang Lingsi had underestimated the mission target, and immediately issued a warning: [Host, please correct your attitude! If the target completely turns black, the host's health will immediately return to zero! ]

[Either explode in silence or perish in silence! The host should take it as his responsibility to eliminate the target's black value, prevent the target from going to extremes, and at the same time seek a better future life for himself! ]

[Oh, I didn't expect you to be so cultured.] Jiang Lingsi teased, and hurriedly spoke up for fear that the system would continue to nag, [Okay, I get it. Even if it's just for my own life, I will complete the task well.]

The system didn't say anything else. Jiang Lingsi took another deep look at Xi Ruan's profile, and a thoughtful expression flashed in his eyes.

Just then, Huoda and the others came back from getting their meal. Jiang Lingsi took the plate and started eating without thinking any more.

-

This day was simply the most uncomfortable day for Xi Ruan since she transferred to another school.

She just watched helplessly as the culprit who made her mute because of a joke mingled with her classmates and laughed so happily.

Liu Yue is so straightforward and cheerful, but she is also like a selfish and narrow-minded person, full of hatred because of other people's unintentional mistakes or her careless words.

Finally, school was over and Xi Ruan walked out of the classroom quickly. For the first time, she was so eager to return to the home that did not belong to her.

Liu Yue, who was chatting and laughing with her classmates, looked at Xi Ruan's back and couldn't help but smile with joy from the bottom of her heart.

-

On the road not far from the school.

Xi Ruan closed her eyes when she saw the message on her phone that the driver had been late due to a traffic accident.

But fortunately, after leaving school, I couldn’t see Liu Yue anymore.

"Huh? Look, is that Xi Ruan?" A scream came from behind, and Xi Ruan's whole body froze.

"Wait for me, I'm going to go talk to Xi Ruan, we'll go together later."

Xi Ruan held onto the strap of her schoolbag tightly, trying to pretend she heard nothing and leave quickly, but she heard the sound of running feet behind her, and soon someone patted her shoulder and held her down.

"Xi Ruan, it's a good thing you haven't left yet!" Liu Yue looked extremely relieved and turned Xi Ruan's body to face her.

Xi Ruan pursed her lips slightly, trying hard to control her expression, her eyes revealing a questioning look.

Liu Yue took Xi Ruan's hand and smiled brightly, "Didn't I say this morning that I wanted to join the choir with you? But the monitor said you chose the photography club, so I want to ask you if you want to change your mind and join me."

Hearing Liu Yue's question, Xi Ruan was the first to lower his eyes to look at the two people's clasped hands.

Although her hand was held in the other person's warm palm, she felt as if she was falling into an icy cave. The hairs on her body stood up instantly, as if she was being stared at by a poisonous snake, and goose bumps appeared from head to toe.

She immediately shook her head, rejecting Liu Yue and just wanting to get away from her as soon as possible.

Liu Yue immediately showed a disappointed expression. She ignored Xi Ruan's attempt to pull her hand away and instead covered her with another hand, continuing to hold her tightly. "Why don't you want to go to the choir?"

"Do you think your singing is not good?"

"It's okay, I can teach you to sing!"

"I've won the Best Female Singer Award at the Huaqu Awards!"

"With me here, even if you suck at singing, I can make you improve by leaps and bounds! Just start singing boldly!"

Liu Yue said this, staring closely at Xi Ruan's expression.

Sure enough, with every word she spoke, Xi Ruan's expression became uglier.

That pretty little face that made her jealous was already so angry that the muscles on her cheeks trembled slightly, and even those clear eyes were stained, stained with a haze that shouldn't belong to her.

Finally, Xi Ruan seemed to have reached the limit of her patience, and with red eyes she struggled to pull her hand out.

Liu Yue showed surprise on her face, but was smiling in her heart. Then, she fell backwards under Xi Ruan's angry gaze.

Looking at Xi Ruan's eyes which changed from anger to shock, Liu Yue's eyes were full of contempt.

Xi Ruan, three years ago I could ruin your singing voice with just one sentence, making the world-famous "Siren's Pearl" XR disappear from the limelight. Three years later, you are nothing more than a toy for my entertainment.
