Chapter Twelve

  "Thank you for being willing to help me, without holding past grudges." Opening the note, the familiar handwriting appeared in front of him again. Li Hui didn't need to look to guess it was her. He was still too optimistic, with her current behavior, how difficult it would be to change her, the road is long and arduous.

  "If I hadn't agreed to help you just now, what would you have done?" She threw the paper on Wang Zijiao's desk. If she hadn't agreed to help her at that time, what would she have done? At that time, she saw her hastily escaping, otherwise she would have easily agreed to help her. Thinking of her cold attitude towards herself in the past, she felt a bit resentful about agreeing to help her so easily, although it was she who needed her help. She felt like she was being led by the nose and was eager to help others, when did she become so embarrassing? If her old friends saw this, they would laugh at her to death.

  Wang Zijiao slowly unfolded the paper that had been thrown in front of her, and after reading the contents, she was stunned by his question. She thought about what would have happened if he hadn't responded to her at that time. Thinking about how she tried to talk to the boy in front of her these past few days, but couldn't bring herself to speak up, being looked at with an inexplicable gaze, as if staring at a mentally ill person. But she didn't get angry. If it were her instead, and someone called out to her but didn't speak for half a day, she would also think that person was crazy.

  He treated him as his last hope, if he refused himself at that time, then he would be the last straw to crush the camel. He never knew how lucky he was that she didn't refuse him and didn't make things difficult for him. After all, he had been ignoring her before, if it were someone else, they would probably think in their heart, "Who do you think you are? You're overestimating yourself. Even the king of heaven isn't as arrogant as you."

  That day, he asked himself if he could pull him out of the blacklist and not ignore him. He didn't say a word, even when he humbled himself to talk to him. Later, he didn't initiate conversation with him for several days, and even when they met on the road, he didn't greet him. It was probably because he had hurt his self-esteem, and what he did was too much. Even if he was a very tolerant guy, no one would infinitely tolerate a girl's unreasonable behavior towards him. Moreover, as a new student who just transferred not long ago, he never lacked friends around him, and there was no reason for him to be so tolerant of him.

  Luckily, he had agreed to himself at that time. Otherwise, he would have been so embarrassed. He didn't think twice and rushed over hastily, causing a big scene due to nervousness. She didn't have an impressive family background, nor did she have stunning looks, nor was she an excellent student, and on top of that, she had a bad temper. Being confessed by such a girl in front of so many people made him feel like he had stepped on dog shit, with an extremely terrible mood, feeling utterly humiliated. Even if he explained himself later, his mood was still ruined.

  Even so, he still agreed to help himself. After what happened, he wouldn't know how grateful he was to him at that time. Alas! Now that all the silly things are almost done, thinking about it makes me feel a chill. I'm too ashamed to show my face, hoping those people won't remember me.

  If he hadn't agreed to himself back then, he would have been too embarrassed to see him again. And didn't have the courage to ask the next boy, all the boys in front had tried one by one, and now he didn't even have the courage to talk to a less familiar boy.

  "You've already promised, no ifs." Wang Zhiqiao quickly wrote and passed the note again. Fortunately, nothing happened at that time, and there was no so-called if. Now thinking about it, I feel so lucky, if there is an if, when will I have the courage to change myself next time? Is it possible for you to meet someone who is willing to help yourself like now, without any grudges, helping yourself.

  "I have a feeling like I've gotten on the wrong boat." Li Hui looked at the note that was passed over to her and smiled, seeing the strong tone of the words, but Li Hui could see the fear in Wang Zhiqiao's heart, afraid that she would change her mind, so anxiously hoping that something wouldn't happen as she had imagined. Indeed, otherwise he wouldn't have made such a foolish confession to her, now calming down and thinking about it, only then did she realize how tense she was at the time, not even explaining things before wanting her to agree, making such a big joke of herself.

  Wang Zijiao couldn't help but laugh when he heard the voice behind him. Had he been that obvious? From the tone of his voice, it seemed that his hometown was a place where good women were lured away, and he was crying about how blind he had been to let himself be deceived into coming to such a godforsaken place. Wang Zijiao just wanted to laugh at this.

  "Right, you're on a pirate ship now, once you get on, you can't get off. You'd better just give in to me and follow me, I'll make sure you have meat to eat." Wang Zijiao jokingly wrote another note and threw it over, but as soon as she did, she immediately regretted it. She had written something careless when she was relaxed, and by the time Wang Zijiao reacted and turned around, it was too late. The note was already in Li Huan's hand. Looking at Li Huan, who was startled by her sudden turn, Wang Zijiao didn't know if he had read it or not. Wang Zijiao's face turned red.

  I hope he didn't see it, or else he would be very surprised. It's completely unlike my usual tone when speaking to people. I usually don't talk much and even when I do, it's always in a lukewarm manner. I've never made jokes like this before. Only when I'm with Yang Rui and the others, relaxing and being casual, would I say something wild and unthoughtful, or make some teasing remarks. Having spent so much time with them, I've been influenced by their joking nature, and sometimes I'll even crack a small joke myself.

  But just now, I was so careless and wrote down my thoughts directly without realizing that the person I was writing to wasn't even a good friend. As soon as I sent it, I immediately reacted, oh no! Did I forget to bring my brain out the door today? One embarrassing moment isn't enough, now I'm all nervous and confused.

  Just as Wang Zijiao was staring at Li Hui, not knowing what to do, Li Hui had already thought of laughing so hard she couldn't speak. She really is a weirdo, who would have thought that someone who usually doesn't say a word, would be so astonishingly eloquent, and even dare to tease herself, saying something like "just follow her and you'll have meat to eat", what a joke, with her like that, following her will surely lead to starvation.

  But he couldn't laugh out loud, he had a premonition that if he dared to make a sound now, she would definitely turn her back on him. Moreover, it's unknown when she will speak to him again. With her ruthless and unscrupulous personality, he can't afford to take advantage of the situation, or else she will turn cold-blooded.

  Just as Li Hui was about to suffocate, Wang Zhiqiao spoke up. "Did you see it?" Li Hui immediately shook his head, not admitting that he had actually seen it.

  "You, first return it to me, I wrote it wrong." Wang Zhiqiao immediately asked Li Huan for the note back.

  "Here." Li Huan quickly handed it to Wang Zijiao. In the instant that Wang Zijiao turned around, Li Huan couldn't hold back anymore, biting his own hand and silently laughing so hard he almost fell onto the table.

  Wang Zijiao heard the commotion behind him and immediately turned his head to look at Li Hui, who was startled and suddenly started coughing violently. Wang Zijiao saw that Li Hui was coughing so hard he couldn't catch his breath and kindly asked, "Are you okay?"

  "Cough... it's nothing, don't turn around suddenly, it's really scary." Li Hui took the initiative to speak first.

  "Sorry, I didn't mean to." Wang Zhiqiao hastily apologized, feeling embarrassed that he had suddenly turned around and startled someone. Before he could react, he wondered what he was doing, startling himself in broad daylight.

  Looking at Wang Zijiao being scolded, Li Hui secretly let out a sigh of relief, finally avoiding disaster. Touching his heart that was jumping with fright, it's really not possible to do bad things!
