Chapter 47

“Luyao, why are you counting the time?”

Lin Wu speechlessly glanced at Li Luyao, “I only entered there to discuss some things.”

Li Luyao stared at him for a long while before calmly nodding. “I didn’t say anything. I only counted the passing time. In any case, you won’t be able to do anything in 8.5 minutes either.”

Lin Wu coughed. He felt a little happy as he asked, “Are you jealous?”

“What’s there for me to be jealous about?” Li Luyao glanced at him before shaking her head. “We are just a married couple in name. As long as I don’t fulfill my responsibility as a wife, I naturally am not qualified to care about your matters.”

“Alright, I think you are really unhappy.” Lin Wu helplessly shook his head.

He wasn’t a man made of steel, so he naturally could hear the unhappiness in Li Luyao’s tone. She wasn’t as unbothered as she pretended to be.

Li Luyao glanced at him and fell silent for a while. She then sighed and spoke in a low voice, “Alright, when I saw you entering the room with that sickly-looking beauty and didn’t come out for quite some time, I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart. Although we are a married couple in name only, we are still married. You hid this from me and entered a room with another woman…”

Lin Wu laughed. He initially wanted to pat her on her head, but because Li Luyao was too tall, he could only pat her on her shoulders. He spoke with a serious look on his face, “Don’t worry, I’m only discussing some matters with her.”

“Mn.” Li Luyao nodded. “What matters were the two of you discussing?”

“I’ll tell you after we eat.” Lin Wu smiled. He then asked, “However, when did you see us?”

“After I sent my uncle away, I suddenly saw you and that woman walking out from the lift.” Li Luyao shrugged. “In any case, I decided to wait for you here since we are going to eat together later.”

“Alright, let’s go.” Lin Wu nodded. He then glanced at the crutch in his hand. “Let me put the crutch back first.”

…

…

After the meal, Lin Wu spoke a lot and explained things to Li Luyao.

Time flowed and afternoon soon arrived.

From their interactions to this point, he could confirm one thing. Li Luyao did have a favorable impression of him. Maybe, she might even like him, albeit just a little.

After all, they were a married couple. She wouldn’t feel disgusted if he held her hand or put his hand over her shoulder. Hence, her feelings for him would naturally increase over time.

As long as there were no unexpected incidents, he would soon be able to reach the first base with her.

After lunch, Li Luyao went back to the hospital to deliver a meal to Zhang Yuqing. As for Lin Wu, he still had a lesson during the afternoon. He had to get the students to do more mock papers; hence, he drove back to school.

The class-starting bell hadn’t rung yet, but Lin Wu directly walked into the second sophomore classroom.

“During school release in the morning, Lin Sen and the others saw Zhang Yuqing get into a car accident.”

“Would Zhang Yuqing die?”

“Just last month, Xia Bing fell from a great height and died. And this month, Zhang Yuqing got into a car accident. There are many incidents in our school recently.”

When Lin Wu entered the classroom, the students stopped their discussions. The chemistry representative then gave out the mock papers.

One of the students in the first row couldn’t help but ask, “Handsome guy, did Zhang Yuqing really die earlier during the car accident?”

Lin Wu speechlessly asked, “Who told you that? She just accidentally sprained her ankle. You guys will see her again when school starts, or alternatively, you all can visit her at the hospital.”

The students below no longer spoke. It seemed that no one was willing to visit Zhang Yuqing.

Zhang Yuqing’s existence in this class was truly at the lowest level. Other than Pei Jianing, no one was friends with her.

Pei Jianing had been someone that got ostracized by the girls in the class. After all, as a little beauty in school, she would be the focus of a group of young guys due to their raging hormones.

And as for Zhang Yuqing, her looks were average, her studies were normal, and her personality was cowardly. She would often be bullied by Xia Bing. In the class, regardless of guys or girls, all of them liked Xia Bing. Hence, they naturally ostracized Zhang Yuqing.

Lin Wu couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. There would always be one unlucky child like this in every class.

Luckily, Xia Bing had already died. After her death, no one bullied Zhang Yuqing any longer. As long as her personality changed back to normal, there wouldn’t be anything worth worrying about.

…

…

“Ring~”

The time flew by, and when the dismissal bell rang, Lin Wu didn’t waste his time. He spoke two sentences to explain to the class and dismissed them promptly.

Just when Lin Wu exited the classroom, he saw a male student standing there. The male student kept stretching his head toward Lin Wu’s classroom, as though he was looking for someone.

The male student was extremely handsome. He was good-looking with delicate features, just like a standard little milky dog*.

When he saw Lin Wu exiting the classroom, that male student hurriedly called out, “Hi teacher.”

“Hello.” Lin Wu nodded.

The little milky dog guy politely spoke, “Teacher, I’m a student from the next class. I want to ask something, did Zhang Yuqing from your class really get into a car accident this morning?”

“Zhang Yuqing?”

Lin Wu had a strange look on his face as he stared at the guy. No one in his entire class cared about Zhang Yuqing at all. But there actually was such a little milky dog guy caring about her?

It couldn’t possibly be, right? With a single look, he could tell that this little milky dog guy was someone many girls would admire secretly. If he wanted a relationship, it should be extremely easy for him to get into one. Yet, he actually liked Zhang Yuqing?

Lin Wu took some time to visualize his imaginations. After that, he spoke, “Zhang Yuqing was indeed in a car accident, but she is fine and only sprained her ankle. Do you want to go and visit her?”

“This…no need for this.” The little milky dog guy shook his head.

Alright then, it seemed that he had thought too much. In any case, there was no way that the judgment of this guy would be that bad.

“Oh ya, what’s your name?” Lin Wu asked.

When he visited Zhang Yuqing tonight, he could tell her about this matter. Maybe, it would give a boost to her self-confidence.

“My name is Chen Ning.”

“Chen Ning?” Lin Wu’s heart stirred. “You are Xia Bing’s previous boyfriend?”

The little milky dog guy ‘Chen Ning’ was stunned. He couldn’t help but be puzzled. “Teacher, do you know me?”

“No.” Lin Wu shook his head and continued, “But I know Pei Jianing.”

“You know Pei Jianing?” Chen Ning’s eyes brightened. He hurriedly asked, “Teacher, do you know which school Pei Jianing has transferred to?”

Lin Wu’s lips twitched.

(What’s going on? Does this little milky dog guy actually want to find my wife? He can’t possibly be really in love with her, right?)

“You like her?” Lin Wu asked.

“No…I just feel that I’ve let her down.”

Chen Ning touched his head and spoke awkwardly, “Xia Bing was a little too sensitive. Pei Jianing had helped me before and I simply thanked her for her help. After that, Xia Bing kept targeting her and got jealous of her every day. She even framed Pei Jianing, saying that Pei Jianing stole her phone.

“You knew that she was framed?” Lin Wu was bewildered.

“Mhm.” Chen Ning nodded.

“Then, why didn’t you be a witness for Pei Jianing back then?” Lin Wu furrowed his brows.

“It was Pei Jianing who told me not to tell anyone.” Chen Ning shook his head. “She said that if I exposed the truth about Zhang Yuqing helping Xia Bing to frame her, when the others knew about it, Zhang Yuqing would have no way of acting normal any longer. Everyone would surely despise her character even more.”

“…”

Lin Wu lowered his head and sighed. “It sounds correct, her character is like this.”

Chen Ning fell silent. He then involuntarily asked, “Teacher, which school did Pei Jianing transfer to?”

Lin Wu inclined his head and glanced at him before speaking softly, “She is already dead. And that was something caused by that ex-girlfriend of yours.”

As the sound of his voice faded, he suddenly felt a terrifying bone-chilling sensation flowing toward his back.

In the darkness…

A horrifying pair of eyes with bitter resentment were glaring at him!
