Chapter 242: 242 Chapter 242: 242 “Sister Liu, Sister Liu…” I tentatively called out twice, even gently shaking her body, but I received no response.
Yet, for some reason, I had a feeling that she was awake.
Just as I was hesitating whether to approach her further, I saw her secretly open her eyes.
The look in her eyes was full of shyness and… longing.
In that moment, I knew that she was awake when I was fooling around with her earlier, she was just pretending to be asleep.
But little did she know, my eyes could see, and I could tell what she was thinking with crystal clarity.
Perhaps, in her heart, she couldn’t accept that she had suddenly become so close to me.
However, I didn’t care, for in my eyes, she was always just a passerby, never someone who could have a substantive relationship with me.
So both of us holding our own thoughts, we seemed to have reached a silent understanding.
Knowing she was awake, I tactfully didn’t continue to tease her.
I slept until noon, and when I woke up, I found that she had already prepared the meal.
I had to admit, Liu Piaopiao’s cooking skills were really good. Simple home-cooked dishes became complete with color, flavor, and looks when they came from her hands.
I had wanted to stay and keep her company, but right after we finished eating, Sister Xinru called me and asked me to find her at the gym.
I went back to the gym with Liu Piaopiao.
When she saw Wang Xiru, her gaze subconsciously dodged, appearing very unnatural.
“Little Tian, come out with me for a moment,” Wang Xiru said, seemingly oblivious to her awkwardness, grabbing my hand and leading me outside.
Once outside, she said with a quivering voice, “Now, I don’t know what’s gotten into Liu Chao; he doesn’t want my mom and me to be in touch with you anymore, and he’s spoken ill of you too.”
“I… I really don’t know what to do anymore.”
“So… let’s not continue doing ‘that’ for the time being, let me appease Liu Chao first, okay?”
She looked at me with deep affection, her aggrieved expression breaking one’s heart.
“Yeah, I’m fine, don’t worry about me.”
I smiled, reached out, and gently touched her haggard face, “It’s you who need to be careful. I’m worried that bastard might try something again.”
“Don’t worry, I have a plan… it’s just… I feel sorry for you,” Wang Xiru said tenderly, holding my hand.
After chatting with Wang Xiru for a while, she went back to the hospital.
Actually, Liu Chao could very well be discharged from the hospital now, but for some reason, he stubbornly refused to leave, lingering there.
Thus, Aunt Wu and Wang Xiru had to revolve around him.
When I got back to the gym, before I had a chance to talk with Liu Piaopiao, Little Ru suddenly came looking for me.
Today, she was dressed in a white dress and had her hair tied up in a simple ponytail, looking so pure and refreshing.
Now I finally understood what it means to have a natural beauty that cannot be concealed, requiring no make-up to enhance it.
Someone as innocently beautiful as Little Ru didn’t need make-up or fancy clothes; even in simple attire, her demeanor reflected her grace.
“Xu Tian, I tried a new perfume today, smell it, does it smell good?”
As soon as she closed the door, she immediately came close, her soft breasts pressing against my arm, soft and very comfortable.
I took a deep breath, and a light scent of orchids mixed with the unique fragrance of a young girl truly intoxicated me.
“It smells great, I like it,” I said with a smile.
Little Ru nodded in satisfaction and pouted, “It’s a pity you can’t see, I also wore a pretty new dress today…”
“Xu Tian, have you ever thought about experiencing the atmosphere in the school?” Just as I was lost in thought, she suddenly posed this question.
I was caught off guard, “Me… going to your school, wouldn’t that be inappropriate?”
“That’s no issue at all. I don’t have class today. Why not join me for lunch at the cafeteria first, then stay and keep me company?” Little Ru clung to my arm, coquettishly pleading.
Eventually, I couldn’t resist her besieging me with cajoling, and I reluctantly agreed.
After following her to the school, she led me straight into the cafeteria.
It wasn’t mealtime yet, so there were only a few scattered students eating, not too many people, but the school atmosphere was still palpable.
Honestly, I really liked this kind of atmosphere at school, full of youthful energy.
What a pity I never had the chance to be a student.
