The Star Light Shines When He Came Chapter 28

Little Cutie, Come Here (11)

Su Yin's head slowly fell back on her arms. Her soft, petal-like lips pursed. She mumbled, "Xie… Fei…"

At the podium, the math teacher was still explaining problems. The cicadas on the trees outside chirped. The dazzling sunlight s.h.i.+ned all over the earth. The ceiling fan in the cla.s.sroom spun faster and faster.

Everything was still the same, but it was as though something had faintly changed.Please read at yanyantls dot wordpress dot com. If you are reading this elsewhere, it has been stolen from me.

After the cla.s.sroom bell rang, almost everyone sleeping was jolted awake. Su Yin blearily sat up, staring at the blackboard in a daze, her cheeks pink.

Xie Fei couldn't resist reaching out to pinch her tender white cheek, causing Su Yin to puff her cheeks out at him. Seeing her cute appearance, he laughed quietly.

The math teacher sped through the remaining content, then left the cla.s.sroom carrying the textbook. As soon as he left, the exhausted students put down their heads and went to sleep. The other students who had just woken up began to play around in high spirits.

When there were about seven minutes before the next cla.s.s, Wei Xiaoqin walked in from the back door, her swollen face lowered and her arms wrapped in bandages. Before she reached her seat, the girls who were eating lunch blocked her way. Grinning widely, they looked her up and down. "Hey, girls, come and look what the cat dragged in."

"Isn't this our cla.s.s's Wei Xiaoqin? I haven't seen you in a bit, how did you get in such a sorry state already?" The short-haired girl at the side shook her head, clicking her tongue. "Look at your swollen face, your entire body's wrapped in bandages. It can't be that someone taught you a lesson, hmm? You got a good beating. It really serves you right. Let's see if you still have the guts to tangle with Jiang Hui all day!"

Wei Xiaoqin hugged herself, biting her lip silently. She looked at them pathetically, her eyes filled with tears. With her sparkling tears looking as though they were about to fall, she looked completely pitiful.

The other girl looked at her in disdain. She hated the kind of expression that Wei Xiaoqin was making the most. It was as though she had been greatly wronged. If someone didn't know the situation, they would think they had ganged up to bully her. She was really a white lotus1 with superb tactics! No wonder Jiang Hui would be fascinated by this vixen.

The girl's hatred gradually grew greater. Her eyes drilled into Wei Xiaoqin like knives. She said coldly, "Wei Xiaoqin, we haven't done anything. You'd better put those tears away, or I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself from ripping your mouth to pieces! Let me remind you one more time, girls won't feel sorry for you because of your tears. Don't put us on the same level as those brainless boys. Just because they can't tell you're a beautiful white lotus flower doesn't mean that we can't tell."

The girl with short hair spat in Wei Xiaoqin's direction, sneering, "Exactly. I don't even know whose attention you're trying to get, pretending to be a white lotus like this!"

Wei Xiaoqin felt extremely wronged. She didn't want to cry, but she couldn't hold back her tears from overflowing. She wasn't faking. She wasn't trying to get anyone's attention, either. Wasn't she allowed to plainly and simply like someone?

These people were slandering her one by one. She didn't know why… why couldn't these people get along with her?

Thinking of how she had been beaten up without rhyme or reason, a bitter grievance rose up in her heart. Wei Xiaoqin couldn't hold it back any longer. Her nose burned, her tears rolling down her cheeks in big drops. She sobbed, retorting, "I didn't, I didn't!"

Seeing Wei Xiaoqin still stubbornly refusing to admit it, the girl's face instantly turned extremely dark. She jeered, “Hey, you really act well. No wonder in the end you can put on such an innocent face to attract Jiang Hui. It seems like you put a lot of time into this act. You really are a shameless s.l.u.t!”

The rest of the girls started to make noises of agreement, sneering, “You didn't? Are you trying to fool a ghost? Who's the one who sat next to Jiang Hui without a word? Who's the one who sticks out her big chest seducing Jiang Hui all day? Ask a question and you need to press your chest against him, aren't you really skilled…”

Wei Xiaoqin sobbed helplessly, her shoulders shaking and muttering “I didn't” as she searched the room for someone to help. But Su Yin wasn't there. Jiang Hui wasn't there either. There was no one to help her, no one.

The rest of the girls in the cla.s.s stood far away at the side, gleefully watching the show. They were completely unhappy with the way Wei Xiaoqin monopolized Jiang Hui. It was just that they were good students in front of the teacher, so they didn't make trouble for her. Now, seeing people preparing to embarra.s.s Wei Xiaoqin, they were ecstatic. Why would they go to help?

Just as everyone was focused on the show, the cla.s.s bell rang. The students came into the cla.s.sroom one by one. Jiang Hui followed behind Su Yin and Xie Fei, his expression dark. Hearing the ruckus and the familiar sound of crying, he turned to look and saw Wei Xiaoqin crying softly, surrounded by the group of girls.

He knew those girls too. They were all people who talked to him pretending they needed to ask questions. It was just that Jiang Hui couldn't be certain that he could control them in the palm of his hand, letting them be completely mesmerized by him to achieve the goal of seizing their property.

But Wei Xiaoqin was different. Not only was she the only daughter, she also had a heart disease. She had been kept in a greenhouse by her mother and father for so many years and had seen little of the world. At the same time, she was the apple of her mother and father's eyes. As long as Wei Xiaoqin was determined to marry him, there was a ninety percent that he would succeed. He wouldn't need much time to take control of the entire Wei family.

Right now, the most pressing matter was that Xie Fei was already with Su Yin. Luckily it hadn't been long since they got together. As long as Wei Xiaoqin helped create some chances for him to meet with Su Yin, he was sure Su Yin would abandon the boorish Xie Fei and turn to his embrace.

He paused for a moment, taking in the situation immediately. In that moment, numerous plans flashed through Jiang Hui's mind. To capture Su Yin, he had to move faster, first winning Wei Xiaoqin's maiden heart and letting her fall madly in love with him. Then he could slowly draw her in.

As he thought, Jiang Hui's gloomy mood immediately lifted. Taking two big steps, he stopped next to Wei Xiaoqin, patting her shoulders gently. He looked up at the others. "Cla.s.s is about to start. Everyone hurry and go back to their seats, or later the teacher will lecture us again."

Hearing him, everyone scattered. The group of girls pursed their lips, leaving unhappily. Jiang Hui led Wei Xiaoqin back to their seats, consoling her.

Jiang Hui pulled out a paper towel, handing it to Wei Xiaoqin. "Come on, wipe your tears. Your eyes have gotten all red."

Wei Xiaoqin took the paper towel. She said quietly, "Thank you."Please read at yanyantls dot wordpress dot com. If you are reading this elsewhere, it has been stolen from me.

Jiang Hui hesitated for a second, then asked haltingly, "Were they bullying you just now?"

Wei Xiaoqin nodded, looking at Jiang Hui hazily through her tears. In her heart, she eagerly antic.i.p.ated him helping her get justice.

But Jiang Hui avoided her gaze. Although he wanted to capture Wei Xiaoqin's maiden heart, it didn't mean he would offend so many rich and powerful families for her. Moreover, these girls were his admirers. He couldn't pick up a rock to drop it on his own foot.

Pretending to hesitate for a second, Jiang Hui looked at Wei Xiaoqin with an expression of embarra.s.sment and difficulty. "Xiaoqin, in the future try to avoid them if you see them. They're really horrible, but if I help you teach them a lesson, they might hate you even more. After all, they… like me. And you know model students can't fight. I'm the representative of model students, so I really can't break the rules. But don't worry, I'll definitely talk to them properly, or they'll come to look for trouble again…"

Wei Xiaoqin looked at Jiang Hui in shock. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. Was this the boy she liked? In that split second, Xie Fei's arrogant side profile and his strong, secure figure suddenly appeared in Wei Xiaoqin's mind.

Did she like the wrong person? was the phrase that quietly floated up in her heart.

Just as she was in a daze, Jiang Hui suddenly took her hand. Wei Xiaoqin froze, her face slowly turning red. The doubt that had just rose in her heart immediately disappeared. Her mind was blank. Only a single thought circled in her mind: Jiang Hui is holding my hand!

"Your cheeks are a little swollen, and your hands look pretty hurt," Jiang Hui lightly touched Wei Xiaoqin's bandaged arms. His voice was pitying and warm. "Before your wounds get better, I'll take care of you."

Wei Xiaoqin froze, looking at him in disbelief. Her heartbeat slowly picked up, her red cheeks turning hot. The pain in her face seemed to have disappeared. She bit her lip, laughing in embarra.s.sment. Joy rose in her heart. She said bashfully, "Is that okay?"

"En." Jiang Hui nodded firmly.

Wei Xiaoqin murmured a shy "Thank you", beginning to reprimand herself for comparing Jiang Hui and Xie Fei earlier.

The two of them were different people to begin with. Xie Fei was a school tyrant with poor grades. He didn't care for his reputation in the least. Fighting with an entire crowd was routine for him. He was entirely in his element, confident and at ease.

But Jiang Hui was different. He was a model student, the example and ruler for other top students to measure up to. He couldn't have a drop of dirtiness. Moreover, he truly cared for her. He didn't just think of how she could suffer from other girls' revenge, he even thought about taking care of her injured self.

Jiang Hui really was someone hard to come by. No wonder there were so many girls who liked him. The reason they beat and scold her was actually because they envied her for getting Jiang Hui's care. Didn't this show how Jiang Hui couldn't be compared to normal people?

She, Wei Xiaoqin, wasn't afraid of them. Jiang Hui was hers!

In the next month, Jiang Hui meticulously took care of Wei Xiaoqin. Very quickly, the monthly examination arrived. Before the heavens decided their seats based on grades, Jiang Hui pulled Wei Xiaoqin's arms. He asked, "Xiaoqin, you're still sitting next to met this time, right?"

Wei Xiaoqin's delicate face turned red. She said, very shyly, "Why are you asking?"

Jiang Hui looked at her eyes deeply. He slowly and quietly said, "Xiaoqin, I like you. I want to take care of you forever."

Wei Xiaoqin's heart beat like a drum. Her breathing became uneven. In her ears, there was only Jiang Hui's voice.

"Xiaoqin, be my girlfriend?"

In that moment, Wei Xiaoqin's neck and face turned red. Joy rose in her eyes. In her excitement, she couldn't stop her body from shaking. She bit her dry lips, nodding her head. Hoa.r.s.ely, she said, "Okay."

As she agreed, a strange smile blossomed on Jiang Hui's face. He gave Xie Fei a smug glance, pressing down the glee in his heart. Soon, Su Yin will be mine.

My dear romantics, I was planning the next world's male and female protagonists today, then I… couldn't control myself and fell in love with him.

1↩: Slang for a woman who pretends to be pure and innocent but is actually scheming and evil inside. It's really similar to "green tea b.i.t.c.h" but from my understanding (this is from comparing Baidu definitions and differs from the explanation I found on NovelUpdates, btw) green tea b.i.t.c.hes fake being pitiful and harmless instead of pure.
