"It's so soft and warm."
Lin Jinran was drowning in the teenager's extremely gentle eyes and couldn't help blurting out all her thoughts.
As soon as the words left her mouth, she immediately regretted it.
What kind of lewd words had she said? Look, did it sound like something she would say?
Su Qinian's eyes and eyebrows were tinged with a smile. He still didn't let go of the girl's hand. His voice softened, "Ranran, do you want to touch it again?"
Help! Lin Jinran looked into the boy's amorous eyes and swallowed nervously. He was truly a feast for the eyes.
She averted her gaze in a flurry, and her voice became much smaller, "Let go of me. I want to go home first. I don't want to wait for you. It's too slow."
Su Qinian obediently let go of her hand, "I'll be done soon. Wait for me."
Lin Jinran grabbed her schoolbag and shook her head like a rattle, "No. I don't want to walk with you now."
You big bad wolf.
She dashed away.
Su Qinian was both amused and helpless. It was she who had started teasing him, and now it was she who was running away.
After packing up his things, Su Qinian zipped up his bag and was about to put it on his back and chase after Lin Jinran when there was a sudden "clatter" outside the door, followed by a scream.
It was Lin Jinran's voice.
Su Qinian's face darkened. He immediately dropped his schoolbag and rushed out.
Outside the door, Lin Jinran was completely soaked. A strange girl was holding a bucket and spitting out venomous words, "Lin Jinran, why are you so cheap? You want to have everything. There's no such good thing in the world."
Su Qinian took off his school uniform jacket and put it on Lin Jinran. He stared coldly at the crazy girl, "There are surveillance cameras in the corridor. Don't think you're doing justice. In fact, you're not even as good as a clown. You know nothing but act self - righteously and hurt others recklessly."
"The posts on the forum are mostly fictional. You don't know anything at all."
It was early spring, and the night was very cold. A gust of wind blew, and Lin Jinran sneezed. Her voice trembled as she spoke.
"Lin Jinran, it's you. It's you! I was the one who gave the love letter to Su Qinian back then. You just had to come out and mess up my business. You stole my love letter. You must have had a premeditated plan at that time."
Stole her love letter?
Lin Jinran thought carefully and finally remembered who the girl in front of her was.
It was Cheng Siyuan. She had witnessed the confession on the first day of school when she went to the head - teacher's office.
At that time, the grade director came after hearing the news. It was Cheng Siyuan who was too scared and just ran away without taking the love letter.
Why was she being blamed now?
She was inexplicably taking the blame.
Lin Jinran fell silent and didn't want to say a word.
The girl in the corridor noticed Su Qinian's hand on Lin Jinran's shoulder. Anger clouded her mind. She started shouting hysterically, dropped the bucket heavily on the ground, and walked towards Lin Jinran step by step.
Afraid that Cheng Siyuan might do something irrational, Su Qinian put his arm around Lin Jinran's shoulder and rushed downstairs. They went straight to the teaching affairs office on the first floor and knocked on the door loudly.
The grade director opened the door. When he saw Su Qinian, he thought he was here to hand in a self - criticism. But when he took a closer look and saw Lin Jinran all wet, he was shocked.
He quickly turned on the warm air conditioner and let Lin Jinran in.
"What happened? Why is Lin Jinran all wet?" The grade director poured her a cup of warm water. After drinking it, Lin Jinran felt better. With the help of the air - conditioner, her body was no longer as cold as before.
It was just uncomfortable to wear the wet clothes.
"A student from a class in Senior Two was specifically waiting outside Class One. As soon as Lin Jinran came out, she was splashed with water. We were afraid she might do something more extreme, so we rushed here. Director, you can check the surveillance from five minutes ago."
The grade director retrieved the surveillance video from five minutes ago.
In the corridor, a girl was standing in a daze in front of the door of Class One. There was a bucket of water beside her. Several passing students just glanced at her curiously and then left.
One minute later, Lin Jinran came out. She also saw the girl but didn't think much of it. She was about to walk to the corner of the stairs.
Suddenly, the motionless girl picked up the bucket and strode towards Lin Jinran, splashing the water on her.
Lin Jinran was stunned and shocked.
Then Su Qinian came out of the classroom and saw this scene. The three of them seemed to be saying something. The girl gradually got closer, and Su Qinian quickly pulled Lin Jinran and rushed downstairs.
The video ended there.
Under broad daylight, such a thing happened in the Senior Three teaching building. The grade director's face turned ashen. He slapped the table hard, and the pens on the table trembled.
He shouted angrily, "This is outrageous! In my territory, there are still people who dare to act recklessly. Su Qinian, you should take Lin Jinran home quickly. Let her take a shower and change her clothes to avoid catching a cold."
"I'll go out with you later and watch you leave. I don't believe that person will dare to ignore me. I will definitely give you an explanation, Lin Jinran."
"Thank you, Director." Lin Jinran thanked him. She got up and walked out with Su Qinian.
When they opened the door, it was empty outside. Cheng Siyuan was nowhere to be seen.
The grade director walked beside them all the way and escorted them out of the school gate. He didn't leave until he saw the two of them get into a car.
"Sir, could you please turn on the warm air conditioner? My friend is all wet. It's easy for her to catch a cold. It's cold now. Could you please drive a bit faster?" Su Qinian wiped Lin Jinran's hair with a tissue and then turned to the driver.
The driver responded and turned on the warm air conditioner, driving towards their destination.
"Lin Jinran, what are you going to do next?" Su Qinian looked solemn. He called her by her full name seriously.
Lin Jinran couldn't help but sneeze again. She covered her nose and said in a muffled voice, "If we don't stop them, I'm afraid one day someone might come at me with a knife."
"I'm quite lucky today. I was just splashed with a bucket of water." She joked half - heartedly and still managed to smile.
When she looked down and met the boy's deep, bottomless eyes, she was stunned for a moment. Then she got a heavy tap on the head.
"At a time like this, you still have the mood to joke?" Su Qinian said crossly, his heart full of distress.
She didn't know that when he saw that scene, his heart had twitched with pain, and he was extremely afraid that something bad would happen.
Lin Jinran lowered her head guiltily and murmured softly, "I just thought the topic was too serious. I wanted to liven up the atmosphere."
Seeing the boy's eyes getting darker, Lin Jinran blinked and pulled his arm, coquettishly saying, "Okay, okay. Don't be angry. I already have a plan in mind. Don't worry about me."
