Chapter 561: Their Relations.h.i.+p Was Exposed
The princ.i.p.al listened on to the gossip and chided the group immediately. “Are you all so free or bored that you gathered here to gossip? If you are too free, I will have someone delegate more homework for you guys to complete.”
As he spoke, the princ.i.p.al cast his gaze at Ning Qing, who was standing at his side. “If all of you are so capable, you should learn from Ning Qing. Not only is she the newly crowned Best Actress now, she is even the future Mrs. Lu. She is the pride of our school.”
The students admitted that they could not be compared to Ning Qing, and they were afraid that the princ.i.p.al would really punish them, so they quickly scattered.
“Princ.i.p.al, I will go in and have a look at Shuiling.” Ning Qing looked at the princ.i.p.al as she spoke.
The princ.i.p.al immediately smiled as he said, “Please do.”
The director of education looked at the princ.i.p.al as he let out a sigh. An educator had to be so hesitant of others’ positions and feelings; was this really good?
…
Ning Qing went into the nurse’s room. She stood at the side of the bed to look at Yin Shuiling. Yin Shuiling’s small face was pale without a single trace of blood flowing through. Even though she was sleeping, she still used her small hand to cup her small stomach as if she was in great pain.
Ning Qing knew that Yin Shuiling was allergic to contraceptives. She’d already taken the pill twice when she was together with Yin Muchen, and each time, she also rolled onto the bed in such pain just like how she was doing right now…
Ning Qing sat at the side of the bed before she bent over to help Yin Shuiling ma.s.sage her belly.
After two bottles of saline solution went down, the doctor pulled the needle out. It was in the afternoon when Yin Shuiling who was lying down on the bed opened her eyes slowly.
“Shuiling, you are awake now? How do you feel, does your stomach hurt?” Ning Qing quickly went forward, and she helped Yin Shuiling sit up and placed a soft pillow behind her back.
Yin Shuiling was a little frail. Her stomach was still cramping somewhat. It felt very bloated and uncomfortable. She did not want to make Ning Qing worry, and she tugged the corners of her lips as she shook her head. “It doesn’t hurt anymore.”
It was only then that Ning Qing felt slightly relieved, but she lifted her eyebrows up speedily as she unhappily responded, “Shuiling, you are always going through so much trouble because of Older Brother Yin, but Older Brother Yin does not even know. This won’t do. We cannot let this continue. I want to let Older Brother Yin know about everything. At the very least, Older Brother Yin should shoulder the burden together with you.”
“Qingqing.” Yin Shuiling immediately grabbed Ning Qing’s small hand as she said, “Did you forget what I told you in the past? This is between me and him. Even if we wanted to let him know, I am also going to say it personally. There is no one else who has the capability to do so. If you dare to say this, we cannot continue to be friends in the future.”
“Shuiling…”
“Okay, that’s fine Qingqing. I know you are doing this for my good. I am no longer that silly girl that I was back in the past. I know how to protect myself now. Let’s not continue discussing this topic. I want to use the bathroom. Can you help me over?”
Since Yin Shuiling was so persistent, Ning Qing did not have any say in this matter. She held onto Yin Shuiling’s slim arm as she said, “Let’s go. I will bring you over to the washroom.”
…
They walked down the corridor and went into the washroom. Yin Shuiling stood before the sink and used cold water to wash her face while Ning Qing stood by her side to accompany her.
A few girls were chatting inside the cubicles. They were gossiping with one another excitedly…
“Hey, did you guys hear about it? Yin Shuiling fainted in school this morning. She fainted because she was allergic to contraceptive pills.”
“We knew about this a long time ago. This matter has already spread across S University. I think it will across the entire T City very soon. I didn’t expect Yin Shuiling, who is normally so arrogant and cold, to actually faint after having an allergic reaction to contraceptives. This is really so shocking.”
“What is so shocking about this? I heard that Yin Shuiling had a man a long time ago. She even had a miscarriage when she was 18 years old. Hah, the more pure, innocent, and cold a beautiful woman is on the outside, the less they can stand loneliness. They are naturally seductive inside their bones.”
“Haha, Yin Shuiling is the G.o.ddess in many boys’ hearts. There are so many girls that are jealous of her. Everything is great now. After this incident with the contraceptives, everyone is happy with the aftermath. Everyone is waiting to see her as a joke.”
“Ay, who do you guys think that man is? He might be some rich and powerful guy.”
“That’s not possible! Yin Shuiling was lying down in the nurse’s room for a long period of time, but that man did not appear at all. Even if that man was powerful and rich, he probably has a family. Their relations.h.i.+p cannot be exposed officially. He is merely playing around. Otherwise, Yin Shuiling probably had a one night stand, or maybe, Yin Shuiling also does not know who that man actually is.”
“Haha…” The few girls were laughing happily.
Ning Qing heard the conversation and her small face soured. She went forward and wanted to reason with them.
At this moment, her wrist was held down by Yin Shuiling as Yin Shuiling shook her head.
“Shui Ling…”
Yin Shuiling turned around and walked out of the washroom.
…
Ning Qing was chasing after her from behind. “Shuiling, why did you not allow me to go forward? This matter has already spread through S University. I think everyone is talking about it. If we do not take any further action, this matter will only get more and more out of hand.”
Yin Shuiling curled the corners of her lips up into a smile. “Qingqing, the only thing we can do is to let them be afraid of discussing this matter in front of me. They discuss this matter behind my back. It is a fact that I fainted after taking contraceptives. Those that are looking at me as a joke are still looking on, so forget about it.”
“Shuiling.” Ning Qing was mad. She was boiling with anger as she said, “Where is Older Brother Yin? Where is he right now?”
Yin Shuiling’s sharp, beautiful eyes were frozen for a second before she laughed. “Why are you asking about him? He is probably inside the office. He is busy…”
Ning Qing snorted coldly as she said, “What is he busy with? The last time Mu Yunfan kidnapped you, he rushed over very quickly. He must have placed a spy by your side. I just do not believe that he doesn’t know about you fainting after taking the contraceptive. I think he is just scared to show up himself!”
“Who wants him to show up?” Yin Shuiling dropped her two rows of curled and long eyelashes as she softly replied Ning Qing.
“Shuiling!” Ning Qing was angered as she stomped her feet on the ground. “Whether you want him to show up here or not, you are clear about that inside your heart!”
She’d been friends with Yin Shuiling for almost 15 years now. Although she’s regained her footing after her family was ruined three years ago, that was because she was hurt too badly, and she was scared that she would be hurt further. She was just like a porcupine as she built strong metal barriers around her and pretended to be strong. Actually, she was still soft and gentle on the inside.
This saga involving her fainting after taking the contraceptive was like a tornado as it swept through S University. Actually, university students nowadays taking contraceptive pills was extremely common, but she was Yin Shuiling.
Yin Shuiling just could not do so!
Ning Qing helped her back into the nurse’s room. There were many students walking along the corridor. Everyone’s gaze changed. They were pitiful and sad, and a few boys with bad intentions used an extremely insulting gaze to look at Yin Shuiling’s pet.i.te figure.
Yin Shuiling treated it as if she did not see anything. Three years ago, she understood something. When the entire world was hurting you, you could only cup your own eyes and not accept any form of pain.
It was only by doing this that she could avoid getting hurt.
Her mind could not control the image of the handsome man appearing. Yin Shuiling only wanted to laugh inside her heart. He would not appear just because she wanted him to do so. He was merely playing around with her.
Yin Shuiling thought of it like this. She suddenly sensed that Ning Qing had stopped moving. She also stopped in her tracks as she said, “Qingqing, what’s wrong?”
Yin Shuiling followed Ning Qing’s gaze as she looked forward. The moment she looked over, she froze entirely.
The person that appeared inside her mind just now was in front of her eyes.
…
Yin Muchen was dressed in a white s.h.i.+rt. A black and white tie was knotted around his neck together with a pair of black slim cut trousers on the bottom. The man’s legs were too long, and the trousers ended above his ankles, exposing his exquisite and beautiful bare feet.
It was obvious that he rushed over from a formal function. Hu Ya chased after him from behind, holding Yin Muchen’s black suit jacket and doc.u.ment bag in his hands.
His handsome face was extremely sinister. The students in the corridor were all overwhelmed by his powerful aura, and they all gave away and retreated to the sides of the wall as they stopped in their tracks.
The princ.i.p.al turned around and hurriedly ran over. While the princ.i.p.al chased after him, he was still wiping his sweat.
At this moment, Yin Muchen stopped in front of Yin Shuiling. He was in a bad mood. He kicked the rubbish bin by the side of the wall before placing his hands on his waist to loudly growl, “Yin Shuiling, who allowed you to take contraceptives? Did I release myself inside your body yesterday? You just hate looking at me so much?”
The princ.i.p.al’s footsteps froze. Wha…what?
Did he hear incorrectly?
What was that man saying?
The princ.i.p.al was in a daze as he looked around his surroundings. He only noticed the students that were standing along the walls had the same expression as him. Their mouths were open so wide that an egg could be placed inside.
The princ.i.p.al was at a loss for words: “…” Could the man last night have been Yin Muchen?
But Yin Muchen grew up together with Yin Shuiling, and he was her older brother.
Oh my gos.h.!.+ The princ.i.p.al patted his thighs as he realized what was going on. It turned out that…they were lovers!
The princ.i.p.al was shocked as he broke out into bouts of cold sweat. Should he run off right now?
It was just as if he had unintentionally uncovered a big secret.
Yin Shuiling look at the man’s glum, handsome face. He was really mad, but why?
Ning Qing was extremely unsatisfied with the att.i.tude of this man. She immediately said, “Older Brother Yin, how can you be so fierce towards Shuiling? Shuiling fainted this morning, and she just received two IV drips. She just woke up in the afternoon. Where were you when Shuiling was in pain? What authority do you have to be shouting at her? Shuiling does not like you anymore, and you deserve it.”
Yin Muchen listened on as the colour on his face turned even darker. He lifted his eyebrows up and controlled the temper in the bottom of his heart. He took a step forward, and he carried Yin Shuiling up in his arms.. “Sorry, I went to Foshan this morning to attend a meeting. When I received the news that you disappeared and fainted, I rushed over immediately. I might be a little late…”
Yin Muchen carried her into the nurse’s room. The moment the door was shut, everyone standing along the corridor was in a blur as they watched the man lower his head and use his own face to nudge the girl’s forehead. He lowered his voice, and his tone was full of pity and love as he said, “My temper was not too good just now. I was fierce towards you just now, and that was because I heard that you fainted and was a little…scared. In the future, don’t scare me like that anymore…”
The main doors closed, and the entire corridor of people were dazed and in a blur.
One second, two seconds, until two whole minutes went by like this. Everyone was rooted to the ground. No one spoke. This piece of news was too shocking, and they all needed time to digest it.
At this moment, a girl ran over hurriedly and came to hold Ning Qing’s elbow as she asked, “Ning Qing, what is going on? I just heard that…Shuiling and President Yin…are together now?”
Ning Qing lifted her legs as she headed forward. She walked past the washroom, and the group of girls that were gossiping inside were all frozen as they stood by the side of the door. Ning Qing had a bright smile on her face. Her voice was clear and crisp as she said, “What do you mean by your gossip? That is all what Older Brother Yin’s feelings on his end. Our Shuiling did not agree to this! This Older Brother Yin is way too domineering. Our Shuiling was only in high school when he could not take any boy touching her. This bit of jealousy and domination was way too strong. Who could take it? Our Shuiling has not agreed to take him in yet.”
