Chapter 119 Luo Xiao is anxious
Luo Xiao sat at the dining table, her fists clenched tightly together. Her eyes were slightly red, and her beautiful eyes were fixed on Lu Zhaoye.
"Ono, do you know how worrying this is?"
Lu Zhaoye was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said,
"It's alright, I'm back safe and sound, and I even managed to get over ten thousand yuan from that bastard."
"Smack!" Luo Xiao slammed her hand on the table, knocking the chopsticks off the bowl.
"What if you don't come back safely?"
Luo Xiao stood up, her lips twitching as she looked at Lu Zhaoye, her voice trembling with tears.
"What if that bastard makes a move?"
"What if that bastard realizes you're just using someone else's power?"
Lu Zhaoye's smile faded; he was somewhat surprised by Luo Xiao's sudden change in mood. He remained silent and slowly lowered his head.
"I'm sorry, I didn't think that much about it."
Upon hearing this, Luo Xiao disregarded Zhang Xinhan's presence, strode over to Lu Zhaoye's side, and began punching him repeatedly.
"You're always like this, you're always like this, never saying anything."
After saying this, Luo Xiao's tears fell like broken kite strings, one drop after another, onto Lu Zhaoye.
"Do you know how powerful those people are? Do you think I'll protect you in Nanjing? Do you think Brother Luo will still protect you? Do you know how dark things are inside the factory?"
Luo Xiao had heard her father talk about things at the factory when she was at home. Gang fights were the least of their problems; you couldn't even imagine how many unspeakable things were going on inside.
Thinking about this, Luo Xiao felt a chill run down her spine. She gradually increased the pressure on her hands, closed her eyes, and burst into tears.
Lu Zhaoye sat there silently with his head down. This was the first time he had ever seen Luo Xiao cry, without any warning or expectation.
However, at this moment, Lu Zhaoye became even more certain of his position in Luo Xiao's heart.
They are childhood sweethearts, and even more so, each other's unique family.
Zhang Xinhan, who was watching this scene, was also moved by the sudden outpouring of emotion between the two, and her eyes reddened slightly.
After a while, Luo Xiao's emotions gradually calmed down, and the strength in her hands gradually decreased. In the end, when she hit Lu Zhaoye, it was as if she was acting coquettishly.
Luo Xiao opened her blurry eyes, punched Lu Zhaoye again, and said in a voice trembling with tears,
"You brat, why don't you fight back?"
Lu Zhaoye then raised his head, looked into Luo Xiao's eyes, and smiled as he spoke.
"I've made you worry, so it's only right that I get a beating."
Luo Xiao snorted and lightly punched Lu Zhaoye's shoulder again, then pouted and ran to the sofa.
Lu Zhaoye smiled and shook his head, then looked up at Zhang Xinhan and said,
"Class monitor, you just eat, don't pay any attention to Luo Xiao."
Zhang Xinhan nodded without saying anything, but there was something Lu Zhaoye seemed to have left out.
Why doesn't he mention that he slept with Qingqing?
However, Zhang Xinhan could understand. After all, Lu Zhaoye, that scumbag, had an ambiguous relationship with Xu Qingwan in school, so it was normal for him to have one more or one less.
Moreover, this gives Zhang Xinhan another handle to use against Lu Zhaoye.
A wicked smile curled at the corners of her lips. After finishing her meal, she sat down on the sofa at Luo Xiao's insistence.
Lu Zhaoye washed some fruit and placed it on the coffee table before sitting down on the other side of the sofa.
Luo Xiao had recovered by now. Holding the doll, she spoke to Lu Zhaoye.
"Ono, if something like this happens again, you must tell me."
Lu Zhaoye nodded and raised his hand to make an OK sign.
"Okay, big brother, I'll definitely tell you later."
Luo Xiao then stopped nagging Lu Zhaoye and continued speaking.
"What about Xu Ziqing's eyes? I've seen them a few times when I went home at night before, and they look so pitiful."
Luo Xiao recalled a time when she came out late after cleaning, and there were hardly any people left in the school. That day, she saw Xu Ziqing walking alone on the road with a white cane and a white schoolbag, and she felt a little sad.
"What else can we do but treat it?"
Lu Zhaoye replied without hesitation, but he didn't intend to tell Luo Xiao that he participated in the competition to earn prize money to help Xu Ziqing.
After all, the prize money was originally prepared by the school for Xu Ziqing; it was just given out through him.
Zhang Xinhan, who knew the inside story, didn't say much, but just sat quietly listening.
Luo Xiao thought for a moment and sighed inwardly. Although she really didn't want Xiao Ye to interact with other girls, Xu Ziqing was indeed pitiful because she was always all alone.
Moreover, she only found out today that Xiao Ye had been secretly bullying Xu Ziqing on behalf of Wen Ningning.
No wonder Lu Zhaoye looked guilty when Aunt Lu said last week that he had accidentally broken someone else's cane.
It turns out it wasn't an accident, but intentional.
From this perspective, it's reasonable that Ono has now changed his mind and wants to help Xu Ziqing more.
In Luo Xiao's heart, Xiao Ye has always been a righteous and compassionate person.
"Xiao Ye, you're not allowed to bully Xu Ziqing anymore," Luo Xiao said after thinking for a moment.
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhaoye secretly breathed a sigh of relief; the beating he had just endured hadn't been in vain.
When Luo Xiao was crying just now, she didn't hold back during the beating. It wasn't easy for Lu Zhaoye to endure it. His shoulders are still numb.
"Okay," Lu Zhaoye replied.
Luo Xiao nodded, put her arm around Zhang Xinhan's shoulder, and then suddenly looked somewhat dejected as she said...
"By the way, Ono, the results of the preliminary rounds are out."
Lu Zhaoye was taken aback for a moment, then asked in confusion,
"Wow, so fast! Have we made it to the city competition yet?"
Luo Xiao and Zhang Xinhan rolled their eyes upon hearing this and said in unison,
"You're in."
Lu Zhaoye pretended not to know and laughed loudly, saying with delight,
"Really?"
"Yes, you're first," Luo Xiao said sullenly, tilting her head back, and then announced the rankings one by one.
"Guo Zichen is second, and Xu Ziqing is third."
At this point, Luo Xiao paused, and Lu Zhaoye also became somewhat anxious.
"Fourth? Who's fourth?"
Lu Zhaoye was a little worried; what if neither Luo Xiao nor Zhang Xinhan made it?
"Sigh," Luo Xiao sighed, "I didn't go in, but Hanhan did."
Lu Zhaoye pursed his lips; this was indeed the result.
In his estimation, Luo Xiao's math skills were actually not good enough to match Zhang Xinhan and the others.
Although Luo Xiao is also good at math, she had too little preparation time, so she couldn't compare to the equally excellent Zhang Xinhan and Xu Ziqing.
"It's alright, I'll bring you back a big prize from No. 1 High School," Lu Zhaoye said with a smile.
Luo Xiao rolled her eyes, then stood up, put her hands on her hips, and asked in return,
Do you know how many points you got on the test?
Lu Zhaoye picked up the conversation and asked, "How much?"
"Full marks."
