Chapter 1447: You Are My Little Love Song (14)
s.h.i.+ Niange felt a clean and warm sensation on her wrist. The tall and thin boy was almost a head taller than her. She was 1.66 meters tall. It was clear that she had only taken a quick glance at his height. Now that he had pulled her away and was following behind him, she realized that he was really tall.
After being pulled away, she only had time to turn back to look at the driver’s side. She did not speak anymore. Along the way, she was brought to the footpath by the high wall outside the school. On both sides, students from other cla.s.ses came and went. They seemed to have seen her ‘holding hands’ by Qin Siting, and many curious and gossipy gazes looked their way.
Qin Siting retracted his hand and looked at her with clear eyes. “What exactly do you want?”
Right now, he was maintaining a distance of two to three people from her, as though the person who had led her here was not him.
Even now, s.h.i.+ Niange still felt as though her wrist was warm. This warmth spread all the way to the bottom of her heart. She casually touched her wrist again and raised her eyes to meet his cold gaze. “Was that auntie in the car?”
Qin Siting glanced at her coldly. “Yes.”
“I really only saw you in that car by chance. I also saw Uncle Driver go to buy medicine. You know why I jumped grades to Year Three. I know medicine. I was afraid that the medicine would hurt Auntie more if she took it, so I bought the medicine and sent it over. I didn’t mean anything else. If I disturbed you because of my actions, I apologize. I won’t do it again.” s.h.i.+ Niange felt that although she had good intentions, she was too abrupt. She also regretted her rashness.
Qin Siting took out a black wallet. “How much is the medicine?”
The sincere apology and smile on s.h.i.+ Niange’s face instantly disappeared. He was drawing a clear line between them. He did not plan on owing her a single cent.
“There’s no need for that. I even dirtied your s.h.i.+rt last time. Compared to your s.h.i.+rt, this small box of medicine should be nothing.”
Qin Siting, who was about to take the money, paused. He seemed to have remembered the s.h.i.+rt because of her words. He put the money back and said lightly, “All right, we’re even.”
With that, he turned to leave. He had no intention of speaking to her.
“Hey, hey.” s.h.i.+ Niange followed him without thinking. “We’ve been deskmates for a long time. You don’t have to keep rejecting me, do you? We’re all cla.s.smates. I don’t have any motives. Can’t we just be friends?”
She followed behind the boy and said quickly, “It’s better to communicate normally than to face each other coldly every day, okay?”
Qin Siting did not turn back. s.h.i.+ Niange followed unwillingly. When they arrived at the school gate, the students who had just returned from buying lunch all looked in their direction.
Qin Siting’s name was already very famous in this school. Aside from her, who was once a little fool who did not pay attention to outside matters, there was no one who did not know him. s.h.i.+ Niange had also become famous because she skipped a grade. It was unavoidable for her to not attract attention when the two of them walked out of the school one after another.
He still did not turn back, as though he did not hear anything.
s.h.i.+ Niange had no choice but to rush forward to hold his arm. She almost hooked her arm around his and tugged on him forcefully. “If you want to call it even, that’s fine. I won’t talk about the money, but in order to help Auntie buy medicine, I missed my lunch break. It’s almost time for cla.s.s, and I haven’t eaten yet. You owe me a meal, so find an opportunity to pay me back.”
Qin Siting paused and looked at her as though she was crazy. He then looked at her hand on his arm. He did not respond to her suggestion and his eyes were filled with unhappiness. His voice was as cold as the autumn night. “Let go.”
She did not let go, but her desire to live was strong.
“How about this, forget about treating me to a meal. My requirements aren’t that harsh. As you know, I skipped a grade and missed a lot of second-year cla.s.ses. No matter how much time the teacher takes to tutor me, I still missed a lot. It’s very difficult to learn now. I’ll go to the library in the afternoon. Come with me.”
Qin Siting was already impatient. He looked at her coldly and did not speak.
s.h.i.+ Niange knew when to stop. Seeing that he had no intention of leaving immediately, she slowly retracted her hand, but still carefully tugged on his sleeve. “Based on your experience, go to the library and help me find a book suitable for me to read. It’ll be fine as long as it can help me catch up on my cla.s.ses. I swear I won’t take more than half an hour of your time. Just go to the afternoon self-study, okay?”
He still did not speak.
She gently tugged on his sleeve again. “Fifteen minutes is fine. You can help me find a few books and leave immediately. There’s no need for you to accompany me. Isn’t that fine? We’re cla.s.smates and deskmates. Even if today’s incident didn’t happen, you should help me out on account of our deskmate relations.h.i.+p. Otherwise, you’re the top student in the school year, and there’s a dumb student who hasn’t even completed her second year of high school studies sitting next to you. You don’t have any face, do you…”
“You can change seats.” After speaking, he pulled out his sleeves and left.
s.h.i.+ Niange: “…”
This kind of person who was unmoved by force or persuasion was really… difficult to get along with.
She recalled her teacher’s words.
How much longer could she last?
She looked at the boy’s back and took a deep breath.
Forget it.
He was so handsome. So what if he had some character? So what if he was cold? Arrogance was the standard for a male G.o.d. Forgive him, en, forgive him.
…
In the afternoon, during self-study time.
It was the teacher who suggested that s.h.i.+ Niange go to the school library to look for books. She really had to go. When she turned around, she saw that one of the seats was empty since Hao Xiushe was still resting in the small hospital. Zhao Xiaoqing was busy with her weekend homework, and she didn’t want to disturb her, so she could only go by herself.
The school’s library was not small, and it was not easy to find books. She asked the management auntie about the locations of the related books in the second year curriculum. When she looked over, she saw a few tall bookshelves, and then she saw hundreds or even thousands of books lined up on the shelves. Her head swelled.
The key was that this bookshelf was too high.
She went to borrow a small ladder from the manager and climbed up and down between the bookshelves. After searching for a long time, she didn’t know which type of book suited her the most. On the surface, the introduction and cover were similar, but inside, it was actually different. It was really difficult to find.
