Chapter Forty-Seven: Injured Beyond Recovery

  On one side, she was deep in thought, while on the other side, Su Yin's voice was loud and unceasing: "Ah! Lu Ge is really a good person! Not only did he let me rest, but he also gave me a pair of shoes. Otherwise, I would have had to go back barefoot." Just as she heard this, Qi Xiu suddenly jumped in surprise, shouting loudly: "He saw your eyes?" Su Yin was startled and stared blankly at Qi Xiu, nodding her head. For a moment, Qi Xiu's face changed colors constantly, looking extremely ugly. Su Yin didn't understand, but could only watch as Qi Xiu glared at her fiercely, then quickly took out her phone and pressed some buttons rapidly.

  After putting it away, Qixiu took a deep breath and continued to ask: "What happened after that? How did you get back from outside the school?" Suddenly, recalling last night's scene, Su Yin's face turned pale, her whole body trembling involuntarily. Immediately, she told everything in detail, Qixiu furrowed his brow, seemingly considering something.

  Turning around, he saw Su Yin still a bit dazed, and his heart couldn't help but make a silent decision. He spoke slowly: "Su Yin, do you want to learn some techniques for self-protection?" Su Yin was taken aback, not understanding: "Calligraphy?" Qi Xiu hesitated for a moment, gritting his teeth: "It's technique! Not calligraphy! And from now on, stay away from Ge Lu!"

  Su Yin blinked: "Why?" At this time, the doorbell rang suddenly, and Qi Xiu got up to open the door. Not long after, Qi Xiu came in alone, holding a white paper bag. Qi Xiu walked forward and handed it directly to Su Yin: "Take it!" Su Yin was surprised: "For me?"

  Zixiu nodded slightly. Su Yin opened the paper bag with a skeptical expression, which seemed to be a pure white shoe box, and took out a pair of white soft leather flat shoes, very elegant and beautiful. But Su Yin was even more puzzled, looked up and asked: "Why did you give me shoes?"

  Qizhao said: "Take it off!" Su Yin was speechless: "..., but I do have shoes on, don't I?" Qizhao was firm: "Change into those!" Su Yin was unhappy and thought it was a hassle: "Why? It's fine like this!"

  Unexpectedly, Qi Xiu's face suddenly turned gloomy, staring at her coldly and saying: "Change it for me!" Su Yin felt inexplicably strange, but didn't want to waste any more words - wasn't it just a matter of changing shoes? So, she immediately changed them. Putting the original pair neatly into the shoe box, preparing to take them away, but they were taken by Qi Xiu's hands. Su Yin's eyes followed the paper bag as it swayed, asking: "What are you doing?" Qi Xiu stood up, indicating that Su Yin should go out, and said with his mouth: "To exchange with you!"

  Su Yun followed Qi Xiu out the door, her mind a jumbled mess. What exchange? And they still wanted to swap shoes! But thinking that Ge Lu had given them to her, she subconsciously felt it wasn't right and said: "I won't do it! These were given to me by someone else! How can we just casually swap them?"

  Qizhao directly ignored her, swaying downstairs, and said lightly: "Will you be late?" Su Yin reacted for a moment, immediately raised her wrist to look at her watch, and suddenly widened her eyes, let out a strange cry, and pulled Qizhao out.

  Qizhao was dragged by someone and ran wildly, feeling very uncomfortable. However, he didn't shake off the other person and furrowed his brow as he followed them in a run. Finally, five minutes before class started, the two of them arrived at the classroom. As soon as they entered, Su Yin lowered her head to catch her breath, completely unaware that the surroundings had suddenly fallen silent. Suddenly, a strange cry pierced the air, and the teacher's face turned pale with anger, pointing directly at Qizhao and shouting: "Qizhao, you still dare say it wasn't you who hid Su Yin away! What is this? Ah?" Su Yin accidentally inhaled a mouthful of saliva and was struggling to explain when she heard Qizhao let out a cold snort: "Hmph! Idiot!"

  After saying that, he directly pulled Su Yin to the front row and sat down. The class was about to start. Zhi Yu hurriedly followed up, with a face full of anger. The students who were originally sitting in that area all voluntarily gave way and found other empty seats, and secretly warned themselves that they could no longer sit there, it's not worth getting hurt!

  Sitting between the two, watching them exchange verbal blows, Su Yun got a headache. It wasn't until the teacher arrived to start class that they finally calmed down a bit. During recess, Zhi Yu asked her where she was going, but she brushed it off casually. Seeing how tense and anxious Zhi Yu looked, Su Yun subconsciously thought it would be better not to tell him, so as to avoid adding unnecessary misunderstandings. However, while one side had been placated, the other side had actually become even more misinformed.

  Finally back in the dormitory, Su Yun saw that her three roommates were looking at her with suspicious and complex eyes. Su Yun was helpless, feeling bitter in her heart, who could tell her what to do? After a round of explanation, Su Yun stiffly looked at her roommates, but they clearly didn't quite believe her, nodding casually before going about their own business.

  Su Yun let out a sigh, even though she saw that another layer of isolation had been built in the bedroom, separating her from him. She still couldn't bring herself to speak the truth. With a bitter smile, what's all this about?! Hanging her head and sighing, Su Yun began to consider whether it would be more convenient to move out. If she were to go find another place to live, rent would be the top priority, alas!

  In a elegant coffee shop, there was a man sitting by the window, with his slender fingers holding a white ceramic cup, taking a light sip. The man had a warm and steady temperament, with fair skin, delicate features, and soft light brown hair that seemed to emit a soft glow under the sunlight.

  Such a clean person is already rare in this modern world, and pedestrians can't help but stop and slow down to take another look at the man. Suddenly, another man approaches, with black hair and eyes, delicate features, and an air of danger and coldness like a crouching black leopard. The black-haired man suddenly throws the paper bag in his hand on the table and sits down opposite him.

  The warm man didn't get angry, glanced at the paper bag and asked: "What?" The black-haired man stared tightly at his opponent, coldly saying: "Shoes!" His opponent was slightly stunned, furrowed his brow: "Huh?" The black-haired man continued: "The shoes you gave to Su Yun, return them!"

  The warm and refined man was stunned, with a somewhat helpless smile: "Qixiu, this is just a pair of shoes. You came to me just to return my shoes?" Qixiu stared at the other person, and after a long time, he spoke clearly: "Gelü, what did you see?"

  Ge Lu finally looked up and gazed at the person in front of him, his entire demeanor subdued, already somewhere between a young man and an adolescent, with a faint shadow of that person.

  Staring at those black pupils, the elegant face became stern and revealed a cold aura: "You don't want me to see something?" Qi Xiu's expression changed slightly, and he said in a low voice: "You can pretend you didn't see it!" Ge Lu said calmly: "Don't forget my identity, and don't forget yours either!"

  The atmosphere in the field suddenly became cold and stern, with a gradual condensation of ice in Qi Xiu's black eyes: "I've never forgotten my identity! I will always be surnamed Qi!" For a moment, the scene was silent, with the two staring at each other for a long time. In the end, Ge Lu let out a sigh, his eyes complex as he gazed at Qi Xiu: "Qi Xiu, you'll eventually have to go back..." Before he could finish speaking, he was harshly interrupted: "I am myself, no one can control me in the slightest! I won't go there, forever!"

  Ge Lu fell silent, lowering his head to gaze at the coffee in his cup. Qi Xiu saw that his goal was almost achieved and prepared to leave. Just as he took a few steps forward, Ge Lu spoke softly from behind him: "Even if it's like this, can you protect her from being discovered by others?" Qi Xiu immediately stopped in his tracks. Ge Lu continued: "She's very special, she'll be discovered sooner or later. If you really want to protect her, you should know what to do!" Qi Xiu coldly retorted: "I have my own way of handling things, just keep your distance from her and that's enough!" With that, he turned around and left.

  Her slender fingers lightly stroked the rim of the cup, and Ge Luyan picked up the coffee to take a light sip. Her eyes narrowed slightly, as if savoring it. I'm afraid you've already been discovered, Qizhao. If you're willing to help, you'd better hurry! Otherwise, it'll be too late!
