Chapter 40: Forgiveness

  Liu Yu assessed the situation and took control. He walked over, telling Bu Shuang not to call the school police for now, and told her that he was Xiao Xiao's deputy class leader, representing their class teacher with full authority. The most urgent task was to get Ye Xiaozhi to a quiet place, so as not to let everyone see the joke. That would be really bad.

  He dragged Xiaoye's slender wrist to the weight room, shouting at Xiao Shuang not to run away, with a fierce attitude.

  Xiao Xiao knew he was wrong. He wasn't one to run away with his tail between his legs. He picked up the physical examination form: "I'm not leaving, I haven't finished filling out my physical exam yet. I couldn't be colorblind."

  "You're not color-blind, you're a rascal!" someone suddenly replied from the crowd of onlookers.

  "Haha!"

  The boys around her all burst out laughing.

  Xiao Xiao's eyes snapped open, scanning the people around him in a circle. His gaze was sharp and his aura was arrogant, his fists clenched with a cracking sound.

  The boys around him saw that he was angry, and his body exuded majesty. They all knew to shut up and stand still, holding their physical examination forms in hand, waiting for the next scene to unfold.

  Ye Xiao Zhi was pulled by Bu Shuang into the weight loss department, watching her lock the door of the weight loss department.

  Liu Yu stretched out his hand and pushed the door, stopping Bu Shuang from closing it. He shrunk his body and slipped into the weight room. His eyes stared at the two girls, as if deep in thought.

  "What are you doing here?" Bu Shuang's words were sharp as she asked him. Although she didn't dislike the clean and neat boy in front of her, she had her own way of doing things and didn't need this stranger's help.

  Liu Yu looked at Ye Xiao Zhi's beautiful face and said sternly, "This Xiao Xiao is from our class and lives in the same dorm as me. As the deputy class leader, I'm willing to sacrifice our class's honor today and cooperate with you to deal with him."

  Bu Shuang felt that what he said was reasonable, so she decided to let him stay for the time being. She took out a handkerchief from her pocket and handed it to Ye Xiao Zhi, letting her wipe away her tears.

  Liu Yu was delighted to have gained the trust of the two girls and thought about how he could help them, making a deeper impression on both of them.

  Ye Xiao Zhi gently pinched the tissue and wiped away her tears. She didn't usually wear makeup, so she wasn't worried about her face being a mess.

  She sat there, clearing her mind for a moment, recalling the events that had just transpired. She touched the wooden Buddhist beads on her right wrist, muttered a few phrases of scripture to herself, and suddenly felt much calmer. In a soft and gentle voice, she said to Bo Shuang: "I didn't feel like that boy was trying to harass me; I just suddenly felt inexplicably wronged and burst into tears. It's all been a misunderstanding; we should give him another chance."

  "You're really a softie. So soft that anyone can bully you. This time, no way, I must let the school security teach him a lesson." Bu Shuang was indignant on her behalf and harbored resentment towards Xiao Xiao.

  "Yes!" Liu Yu fully agreed with Bu Shuang's opinion. To the two of them, she said frankly that they would send Xiao Xiao to the school security office and go there together.

  Bu Shuang's expression changed as she heard Liu Yu say that. She frowned suddenly. Although she disliked Xiao Xiao, she didn't like the behavior of betraying people around her.

  Although Liu Yu in front of him said he was helping himself and Ye Xiao Zhi, he couldn't speak to his roommate like that. In the ophthalmology department, he had to tell himself not to inform the school security guard, but when they arrived at the weight measurement department, facing just the two of them, he wanted to inform the school security guard again.

  Was he using himself and Ye Xiao Zhi to take revenge on Xiao Xiao? If so, then there's no need to bother with such a person.

  She gave Liu Yu a cold glance with icy eyes and turned her head back to Ye Xiao Zhi.

  Liu Yu was staring at Ye Xiao Zhi's beautiful face and for a moment did not divert his attention, nor did he notice the subtle change in Bu Shuang's eyes.

  Ye Xiao Zhi sat on the chair, thinking of Xiao Xiao's apologetic appearance, and from the bottom of her heart, she felt that his attitude was sincere and his eyes were genuine. Such a person is forgivable.

  She thought of this, took Bu Shuang's hand and placed it under her chin, smiling calmly: "Good sister, I think he is not a bad person, giving him a chance is doing a good deed."

  Bu Shuang had pitied her since she was a child, and at this moment his heart softened. He thought that if she wanted to do it this way, then so be it.

  Bu Shuang pointed at Ye Xiao Zhi's forehead with her hand, and a hint of tenderness appeared on her originally cold face. "I really admire you," she said. "From young to old, you've always known how to do good deeds. Alright, you're indeed a female Bodhisattva." She let out a helpless sigh, pulled Ye Xiao Zhi up, and walked out of the weight department, heading towards the ophthalmology department.

  Two girls abandoned Liu Yu alone in the weight loss clinic after selling out their roommate.

  Liu Yu didn't expect things to change so suddenly, and he originally had some chances to show off in front of the beauty, but instantly, they were all gone. He could only follow Bu Shuang and Ye Xiao Zhi to the ophthalmology department, to see if he could find another chance to show off himself.

  The boys in the ophthalmology department saw them come back, and also saw that Ye Xiaozhi's face had no more tears, and she had restored her calm and peaceful demeanor. They all understood that this matter had been resolved without any harm.

  It's actually sesame seeds beating green beans, which is no big deal at all!

  Ye Xiaozhi picked up the rustling physical examination form on the table, took a pen lightly and filled it out for him that he was not color-blind.

  Gazing at Ye Xiao Zhi, a strange and inexplicable feeling arose in his heart. He didn't know what that feeling was - was it gratitude? It was indeed gratitude. But compared to gratitude, it was much deeper. What was it? Was it the astonishment of being forgiven by her?

  Who would have thought that someone like me, who always surprises others, would be surprised by a girl's behavior!

  He was filled with doubts, knowing he should leave from here now. He lowered his head and took the physical examination form in hand.

  Liu Yu saw that things were settled, and it seemed that he was no longer needed here. He took the physical examination form and quietly walked out of the ophthalmology department, as if he had left no trace here.

  Xiao Xiao looked at Ye Xiaozhi again with a sigh, then lowered her head to look at the physical examination form in her hand. She turned around and walked out of the ophthalmology department, out of the hospital, and came to the entrance of the school hospital.

  The autumn wind is gentle, with a coolness that spreads far and wide. It blows against the medical examination form in my hand, making it rustle softly. This medical examination form seems to be crying.

  Two boys over 1.9 meters tall walked towards us, one of whom was holding a basketball. Both were sweating profusely and their muscles were wet, with their jerseys clinging to their bodies, clearly having just finished playing basketball. When they saw Xiao Xiao, they looked at his explosive hair and suddenly realized, asking "Are you Little Demon?"

  Xiao Xiao seemed to have not heard their conversation, staring at the physical examination form in her hand as she walked forward, as if reading an illustrated edition of Jin Ping Mei, entranced and unable to tear herself away.

  "Are you Xiao Xiao? The one who got blasted online for dunking a basket?" Those two boys, known for their coarseness and cruelty, didn't get a response from Xiao Xiao, so they raised their voices, shouting loudly.

  Xiao Xiao continued walking forward.

  "What the f**k, that little brat, tell his mom to f**k off." The two 1.9-meter-tall boys, seeing Xiao Xiao as if he didn't exist, were instantly enraged by his attitude and shouted out curses.

  Xiao Xiao continued to look at the physical examination form in his hand, walking forward with his head down, his footsteps very slow.

  "Stop, damn it."

  The two of them couldn't hold back the fire in their hearts, and suddenly shouted out loud, flinging the basketball in their hands. The ball was like a cruise missile, hitting Xiao Xiao's back, as if it had hit a wall of flesh, and immediately bounced back.
