After my soul traveled through time and space, I became the male protagonist Bai Yueguang
Chapter 25 Zhao Zhao travels, Mu Yanchen follows
The clock was ticking, and the sound was unusually prominent in the classroom. In addition to the sound of the clock, the room was filled with a tense atmosphere. Students were turning pages, there was the sound of pens touching paper, and there was the friction sound of the teacher pacing between desks.
"There is still half an hour left before the end of the exam." The teacher's cold voice rang out, and the voice echoed in the students' hearts that seemed to be clenched. There was not enough time.
The sound of papers tumbling in the room became more frequent, and the sound of pen strokes became more obvious.
"There are ten minutes left until the end of the exam." The teacher counted again.
"five minutes……"
"Time's up, stop writing!"
The sound of the pen tips touching the paper stopped abruptly. The students' hands dropped down as if they had lost their strength. Their stiff shoulders relaxed for a moment. The three-day midterm exam was over. It was like a college entrance examination. Some students looked relaxed while others looked sad, but none of this happened to Shen Zhao.
Her face was calm. The extremely cruel test for the students was as common to her as breathing, which was inconsistent with the sudden relaxation of the entire class.
"How did you do in the exam? I found it very difficult. I had no idea how to start with the last big question." Xu Ke walked over from his seat and complained.
This exam is indeed harder than previous years. You are lucky if you can guess which knowledge point to use to solve the questions. Don't be sad if you can't do it. Shen Zhao thinks that this is a deliberate arrangement by the school. For the final sprint, it can't be too simple, so that all candidates think that the college entrance examination is just a joke? Having a wrong understanding of yourself will put yourself in a painful situation.
Shen Zhao smiled and said, "It's the same for me. I didn't even finish the big questions in the end."
Lu Siming was sitting in his seat eavesdropping on the conversation. When he heard Shen Zhao say that she couldn't figure it out, he was shocked. She must be lying. Judging from the two weeks of evening self-study, Shen Zhao couldn't have failed to figure it out, because even he could figure out the second to last question. She was just hiding her incompetence. Why? Didn't she want to get into a good university?
He couldn't understand, shouldn't high school students focus on grades? And the higher the scores, the more attention they would get, isn't that good?
He watched Shen Zhao and Xu Ke chatting and laughing, and for a moment he had an indescribable feeling. He felt as if there was a wall around her that even he could not see clearly, and no one present could enter that area, as if there was a deep ditch blocking them.
Even though the next day was the graduation trip, evening self-study was still going on. After the midterm exams, many students were not as enthusiastic as before and went home to prepare the items they needed for the trip. However, Shen Zhao did not do so and she still stayed in the classroom.
Lu Siming was with her, which caused Shen Zhao to misunderstand.
She glared at the brat coldly, "I think I made it clear enough at the beginning. I can help you review for the exam, but I can't do anything else."
Lu Siming knew what she was talking about. She had never been so sharp before. She used to be timid but gentle, but now she was full of thorns. He hurried to explain, "I know, but I still want to ask, why don't you go all out? There is only one college entrance examination. You told me to focus on my future, but what about you?"
Shen Zhao raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect Lu Siming to say such a thing to her. "Don't worry about my business."
She turned her face away.
Lu Siming was a little excited after hearing this, "It's not my responsibility, but you have to think about yourself. I have my family, but you have nothing. You have to earn a lot of things by yourself!"
Lu Siming could accept what Shen Zhao said about separation, but he still hoped that she was in his world and would be with him in the future, even though their family backgrounds were like a huge gap. That was why he was so nervous about whether she could get into a good university. That way at least they would be closer. He even had a wild idea that if Shen Zhao was good enough, they would have hope of being together.
Shen Zhao looked at him dimly, as if she wanted to see through him. Suddenly she smiled, "Thank you for your advice. Of course I care about my future. Now I'm leaving. I hope you and I will have a good graduation trip."
As she spoke, she picked up the books scattered on the table, put down her schoolbag and left without looking back.
Lu Siming's sunny, handsome and calm face turned red with anger.
And this scene happened to fall into Yuan Hongwei's eyes. Fang Cheng was right when he told him that Lu Siming really liked Shen Zhao. He didn't know what Lu Siming's reaction was when he saw Shen Zhao under him. Just thinking about it made his blood boil. He looked at Lu Siming gloomily. He couldn't be blamed. If anyone should be blamed, it should be himself. Who told him to be the successor of Lu's? If he didn't have this background, he would just be an ordinary boy with good looks and decent grades.
Shen Zhao returned the test paper and quickly left the school gate, got into the low-key black car and drove away.
The atmosphere in the manor was much better today, thanks to Shen Zhao's early return.
At the dinner table, Mu Yanchen and Shen Zhao sat opposite each other. When Shen Zhao raised his eyes, he could see Mu Yanchen's overly focused gaze on him.
"Is my face scratched?" Shen Zhao asked in confusion.
"No, it's just that you're going on your graduation trip tomorrow. Are you ready?"
Shen Zhao didn't expect that such a small matter required the sponsor's intervention, and couldn't help but feel that Situ Rui was somewhat incompetent as a housekeeper. Her eyes fell on Situ Rui quietly, but Situ Rui pretended not to see it.
"I haven't packed it yet. Before that, I think I should prepare three days' worth of medicine for you. You can't be lazy in detoxification during these three days."
"The medicine can be prepared, but how are you going to teach you acupuncture?" Mu Yanchen suppressed the gloom that flashed across his eyes. When he thought that Shen Zhao would be away from him for three days, he felt that he could not bear it.
Shen Zhao also thought of this, holding her chin with her hand in distress. This acupuncture method could not be taught in a short time, and it was a unique secret that was not easy to teach. She looked at Mu Yanchen carefully again, and their eyes met. There was no way to hide. She thought that she would not go on the graduation trip. In fact, it didn't matter, but she had been looking forward to it after all. But she felt a little unwilling when she thought that Xu Yaoyao had not retaliated yet. But it seemed inappropriate to ask Mu Yanchen to go with her. She froze for a moment, and her mind was confused.
It was hard to tell a lie facing Mu Yanchen's gaze. His eyes were like deep pools, leaving nothing to hide. She was tempted and slowly spoke out her thoughts, "Do you think it's possible for you to stay with me at the hotel on our graduation trip for two nights?"
Mu Yanchen curled the corners of his mouth. It was not a terrifying smile, but a light smile that made people feel extremely comfortable, as if he was such a kind person that he would agree to anything as long as others dared to ask.
And he did answer Shen Zhao, he said softly "Okay."
One word was enough to stir up ripples in Shen Zhao's heart. He was a high and mighty person, like the clouds in the sky and the moon in the clouds. Even if she was Sheng Baiyi at this moment, he didn't have to fulfill all her requests, not to mention that she was just a little high school girl, insignificant. But he still agreed to her request. He was flattered.
Besides Shen Zhao, who was shocked, Situ Rui, who had been standing aside and watching the interaction between the two, frowned tightly, and the look he gave Shen Zhao was one of love and hate!
Shen Zhao's graduation trip will take place tomorrow, and Mu Yanchen promised her to follow her pace to that hotel. That is not Mu Yanchen's sphere of influence, but Li Chengyi's. That man has long had a grudge with Mu Yanchen. If Mu Yanchen appears in his sphere of influence, he will definitely not let him back so easily. In fact, the best solution is to let Shen Zhao cancel the graduation trip, but Mu Yanchen said nothing and didn't mention anything, which means he agreed with Shen Zhao's proposal.
But why? Is it worth it for her graduation trip? To expose such a sick body to the enemy's sphere of influence?
"Zhao Zhao, go to your room and prepare the necessary medicinal herbs and your set of silver needles. I'll come to find you later." Mu Yanchen's voice was soft, as if he was coaxing a child.
Shen Zhao blushed and staggered back to the room on the second floor, closing the heavy wooden door tightly.
Shen Zhao left, and Situ Rui couldn't help himself, "Mr. Mu, why? Just let her stay."
Mu Yanchen looked at the empty courtyard outside the window. He could see to the end at a glance without any shelter. Under the night sky, he felt a suffocating feeling as if every tree and grass seemed an enemy.
He recalled the first time he met her, in that narrow path. He didn't know who had instructed him to do this, but even an ordinary boy should not be bullied like he was. However, as the seventh son of the Mu family, the youngest son recognized by the family, he was treated inhumanely. He did not enjoy the proper courtesy when he entered Deyan, and because H City was far away from his family, various unknown forces tortured him even more severely. He had always been like mud in Deyan, and even an ordinary student despised him, laughed at him, called him a pitiful maggot, and called him a filthy monster. The teachers and the principal condoned such behavior and ignored all the injustice he had suffered. On that day, when he thought he would be bullied as usual, she appeared in the path and appeared in front of him.
His eyes were filled with blood and he could only open a crack to look at her. He still remembered her clear eyes at this moment. Being stared at by her eyes, he felt as if the huge rock pressing on his heart had collapsed. Only calmness remained in the lake of his heart, and there were ripples for her.
He didn't know what means she used to scare off the group of people, but they did run away in a panic, looking at the girl in horror as they ran.
He didn't know why those people were afraid of her, but for him, it would never be the same.
"Can you still stand up?" she asked in a very calm voice. She didn't even stretch out her hands to him. Her hands were holding a book. He could see clearly that it was a book about acupuncture.
The girl loved medicine, that was what he knew of her.
Under her calm gaze, he stood up. He was not tall, and was even at eye level with the girl. He was perhaps the most unpopular young master in the Mu family. Even his daily food, clothing and other expenses were withheld. He kept growing but never got taller.
He wiped the blood off his eyelashes with his hand. Now he could open his eyes and see the girl's appearance clearly: smooth black hair, skin as white as snow, red lips and white teeth, and dark and bright pupils, like two gems without any impurities, reflecting his embarrassment, but her expression was very dull, almost expressionless.
While he was stunned, the girl asked again: "Do you need me to take you to the infirmary?"
He nodded involuntarily.
The girl walked in front and he followed closely. In fact, he didn't need to follow because he knew the road because he was a frequent visitor. But that day he walked very slowly, matching the girl's pace.
There was a smell of evaporating disinfectant in the infirmary in the afternoon. It was not unpleasant and could be said to be a safe smell for Mu Yanchen. He even slowly fell in love with this smell. The girl seemed to be a frequent visitor to the infirmary as well. She skillfully took out the necessary medical supplies, put them on a small tray, and placed them in front of him.
"Sit down, I'll help you apply the medicine."
She spoke harshly and without intonation, but he still liked to listen, and he sat down obediently.
The girl dipped gauze in hydrogen peroxide and slowly moved closer to his cheek with her hand raised. His head was soaked with blood, which had now dried up and left cracked blood scabs. She was so close that he could even feel her faint breathing, as if the gas was exhaled on his neck, making him itchy. Under the sunlight, he could see her tight, black, and long eyelashes, and the fine, glowing hairs on her delicate skin when he lowered his eyes. Mu Yanchen felt that his breathing was getting hotter and hotter. He clenched his fists, suppressing the beautiful fantasy in his heart.
The cleaning work lasted for a long time, but the girl did it very carefully and seriously, and no one came to disturb them. He didn't know what he looked like at this time, perhaps his whole face was horrible, but she still said nothing, he couldn't even see a trace of disgust in her eyes, and finally she helped him bandage it and left a cute bow on his head.
She curled the corners of her mouth slightly. That was the first expression Mu Yanchen saw on her face. It was a little playful and a little cute, and he felt a hint of warmth in that coldness.
"Thank you." He thanked her stiffly. No one had ever cared about him, no one had ever saved him, but the girl did all of these in one afternoon.
"You're welcome. You should learn to fight back. You can't let them trample on you at will."
The girl left after saying this. When she left the school gate, she was picked up by a boy. She smiled at him with many expressions. Mu Yanchen still remembers that boy had long hair and his eyes were full of hostility towards everyone else. He just watched her leave from a distance without making any move to keep her.
There were few traces of that girl in school, and she had not enjoyed her high school life till now, let alone the graduation trip. He wanted her to participate. She should not have these regrets in her life. She had already died once.
"It's okay. You still have time to make arrangements now. Li Chengyi doesn't have the courage to do anything to me yet." Mu Yanchen said softly. The tenderness revealed at that moment was like a mirage, fleeting.
