Ring ring ring—
The class bell rang, and the students returned to their seats, ready for class.
Cheng Lie, however, frowned slightly. Yun Shifei hadn’t returned yet.
Usually, when she went to the restroom during the break, she’d co back quickly, but now class had started, and she still wasn’t back. This seed odd to him.
anwhile, Song Yang was crossing his legs, feeling quite pleased. Yun Shifei must be freaking out right now.
She’s a good student, and missing a class would probably bring her to tears after being scolded by the teacher.
He’d go find Yun Shifei later and let her out. Hmph, see if she’d dare treat him like that again.
Cheng Lie’s thin lips pressed tightly together, staring at the textbook, though his mind was elsewhere. From his understanding of Yun Shifei, she must have encountered so problem, which is why she hadn’t returned.
Is she feeling unwell? He hadn’t noticed anything earlier.
He looked back at Song Yang and saw the unfinished grin on Song Yang’s face.
This class was biology, and the biology teacher had just walked in. The class monitor called the class to stand, and everyone stood up and said, "Hello, teacher."
The biology teacher adjusted his glasses, "Hello, everyone. Please sit down."
The students gradually sat down, but one person remained standing.
The biology teacher looked over and saw it was Cheng Lie.
He knew this was a child with autism.
Their class teachers were always introduced to such a special student at the beginning.
The grade director would have explained that there’s no need to manage him; he just imrses himself in his own world.
So whatever Cheng Lie did, the teachers turned a blind eye, but this child was well-behaved, reading or writing and drawing during class.
But what was going on now?
He suddenly stood up.
"Cheng Lie, what’s wrong?"
The boy’s eyebrows and eyes were as cold as snow, his gaze equally cold, like a deep pond, hard to see through.
He said nothing and turned to leave.
Song Yang raised an eyebrow. Was Cheng Lie going to find Yun Shifei?
This fool, does he even know how to find her?
But he felt a little guilty. He thought that keeping Yun Shifei locked for a few minutes might have scared her silly. After waiting for a few minutes and seeing the teacher busy writing and drawing on the blackboard, he slipped out the door too.
Cheng Lie headed towards the girls’ restroom.
At this ti, the students were all in class, and the hallway was empty, as was the restroom.
Had anyone appeared there and seen a boy fearlessly walking into the girls’ restroom, they might have been shocked.
Cheng Lie didn’t hesitate at all.
He thought to himself, Yun Shifei wouldn’t deliberately skip class; there must be so unknown reason that she couldn’t attend class.
As for that reason, from Song Yang’s smug expression a mont ago, he had vaguely guessed sothing.
There were ten stalls in the girls’ restroom, and Cheng Lie searched one by one.
Until the second-to-last stall, the door was locked from the outside.
It really was like this.
Cheng Lie reached out to grasp the lock, and after a while, spoke: "Shi Fei."
This was probably the first ti he had called Yun Shifei by her na, yet it didn’t feel unfamiliar.
Soon, a weak voice ca from inside: "Cheng Lie? The door seems to be locked, I can’t open it."
It was Yun Shifei.
Cheng Lie breathed a sigh of relief, then said to her, "Move to the corner, I’ll kick the door open."
"Oh... okay..."
Bang—
Cheng Lie kicked the restroom door open.
Yun Shifei huddled in the corner, and only after the door opened did she co out.
Cheng Lie saw that Yun Shifei was soaking wet.
Her hair was plastered to her cheeks, her face was splattered with water, and the coat she wore was drenched.
At the mont, she was shivering while wiping her face, "You scared to death, thank goodness you ca."
Whether from fright or cold, her face was as white as a sheet with not a hint of blood.
This made her eyes appear even darker.
Cheng Lie narrowed his eyes, an air of anger surrounding him.
She had been bullied again, and those people were really bold.
He walked towards her.
Seeing him reach out to touch her, Yun Shifei quickly backed away, "Don’t touch , I’m covered in dirty water, it’s disgusting."
She felt truly embarrassed at that mont.
The dirty water on her carried a sll, it was so disgusting.
But Cheng Lie didn’t care about any of that.
He took out tissues from his pocket and held her face, starting to wipe it.
Yun Shifei was completely stunned.
The boy’s eyes were deep, lips pressed, not speaking a word, as if carrying out a very serious task.
She could see her reflection deep within his eyes.
He wiped Yun Shifei’s face clean, then took off his jacket and wrapped it around Yun Shifei.
That school uniform jacket, still warm from the boy’s body, ward Yun Shifei a little.
But at that mont, her mind was a blank, letting Cheng Lie lead her out of the restroom.
She didn’t even realize that Cheng Lie was holding her hand tightly.
She quietly followed Cheng Lie out of the girls’ restroom.
Cheng Lie didn’t speak and she didn’t know what to say.
She was now recalling what had happened just monts earlier.
She just thought it was strange because she had been locked in the restroom by a group of unknown girls!
If it were Yun Sisi or Mu Jiayu, she might have thought it was revenge.
But these girls, she had never seen them before, and they didn’t look like they were from this floor.
She hadn’t offended them, so why would they do this to her?
If Cheng Lie hadn’t co, she would have been stuck in there for an entire class.
Soaked to the skin, Yun Shifei felt particularly uncomfortable. Even though Cheng Lie had given her a piece of clothing, she still felt a little cold and couldn’t help but sneeze.
She didn’t see that the boy walking in front of her subtly wrinkled his brow.
But when he saw the person ahead, his steps halted.
A look of sharp intensity filled his expression.
Yun Shifei didn’t realize Cheng Lie had stopped and continued walking forward, accidentally bumping into his back.
Cheng Lie turned and held her shoulders gently, as if afraid she might fall.
This naturally attentive action left Yun Shifei slightly dazed, with an indescribable feeling in her heart.
This feeling of being cherished by a boy was so strange.
As Cheng Lie stepped aside, she saw Song Yang standing not far away.
Song Yang was startled seeing Yun Shifei in such a state.
"Yun Shifei, how did you end up soaking wet?"
Could it be? It couldn’t be related to him, right?
"Was it you?" Yun Shifei didn’t speak, it was Cheng Lie who opened his mouth.
Song Yang glanced at Cheng Lie, the boy’s gloomy eyes made Song Yang’s heart race, and he inexplicably felt a chill of fear.
Why did he feel this fool looked so terrifying?
But rationally, Song Yang still insisted, "I... I don’t know what you’re talking about."
Inside though, he was very angry.
He had only asked Su Ni to lock Yun Shifei in the restroom; he hadn’t told her to pour water on her!
