Chapter 1435: Forced by Death

"Right away, right away..."

Although she said right away, she still dawdled for another ten minutes to finish her makeup.

Changing clothes took another ten minutes, and when she finally went out looking bright and beautiful, she was met with Zichen's icy cold gaze.

"I'm sorry, Zichen, I kept you waiting." She smiled like a flower; she was indeed very beautiful.

"I have something to ask you, let's find a quiet place to talk."

Her heart skipped a beat; what was he going to ask?

Could it be about the car accident from last time?

She had thought about it repeatedly over the past few days and had a strategy in mind.

Therefore, when asked out of the blue, she wasn't entirely without mental preparation.

"Follow me."

She led Zichen to the lawn behind the Library; it was quiet here... but there were quite a few people around.

And they were all pairs of Xiao Qing, cuddling and being affectionate with each other.

Is this a good place to talk?

Zichen saw through Lu Feifei's little tricks at a glance.

How had she become like this?

Where had her pride and self-respect gone?

If it were the Lu Feifei of the past, she absolutely would not have been able to do such a thing.

He stopped and refused to walk any further inside.

"Let's just say it here. Lu Feifei, tell me the truth: were you sitting in Young Master Qiao's car a week ago?"

"What Young Master Qiao?" She put on an expression of extreme surprise and firmly denied it: "I don't know what you're talking about. I don't remember things from over ten days ago, but I don't know the person you're talking about, and I have never ridden in any man's car."

"I've ridden in one before, my father's car, but not since then."

Zichen threw a stack of photos at her: "Look for yourself, being stubborn is useless."

"With such good acting talent, why don't you go be an actress? It's a waste to study at a teachers' college." He even worried that with Lu Feifei's character, if she really became a teacher in the future, she would corrupt the children.

The photos were all captured by surveillance cameras; although they weren't high-definition, it was still clear and obvious who was sitting in the car.

The moment she looked up in astonishment was captured perfectly.

Lu Feifei had prepared many excuses, but now she couldn't use a single one.

Her hands holding the photos trembled slightly, and tears came streaming down.

"Zichen, I was wrong, will you forgive me?"

"I was possessed by a ghost at the time, which is why I did that. I didn't mean to, please believe me, I really didn't want to hurt you..."

She was right; she really hadn't wanted to hurt Sheng Zichen, but she had wanted to kill Gu Yuxin.

"Alright, stop crying in front of me. I don't need to forgive you; go to the police station and turn yourself in."

"What did you say?"

Lu Feifei was terrified and shook her head repeatedly: "No, I won't! I can't go to the police station. If I turn myself in, my life will be ruined. Zichen, you can't ruin me..."

"Then why did you want to ruin someone else?"

"Is someone else's life worthless, and only your future and your life are the most important? Lu Feifei, one cannot be too selfish."

She was extremely scared now. Seeing that the matter had been exposed, she couldn't care about anything else and only wanted to cover it up, so she kept begging for mercy.

Crying and begging: "You're right, everything you say is right. I was blinded by jealousy at the time, I was momentarily possessed by a ghost. I haven't been able to eat or sleep these past few days, and I wake up from nightmares every day..."

"No, no, no, I can't go turn myself in, it's too terrifying, that's too terrifying!"

As she spoke, she suddenly lunged toward a large tree in front of her.

Zichen was quick-witted and pulled her back, but even so, Lu Feifei still hit her head and started bleeding.

There are many capillaries on the head, so even a small cut would bleed incessantly, let alone the fact that she had hit it, resulting in a large area of trauma.

"You're bleeding. I'll take you to the Medical Room to get it bandaged immediately." Sheng Zichen's heart was full of anger, but for now, he could only set it aside.

Her face was covered in blood; it was too frightening.

"I'm not going!"

Lu Feifei pushed him away, wrapped her arms around the tree, and kept slamming her injured forehead against it.

Slamming and crying, crying and shouting: "Let me die, a life for a life. Anyway, there's no point in me living, I don't want to live anymore..."

At this moment, she really wasn't putting on an act; it was all genuine emotion.

During this period, the string in Lu Feifei's heart had been pulled very tight.

Although she had thought of excuses, she was also very afraid—afraid that the matter would be exposed!

If the matter were exposed, Young Master Qiao would definitely point to her as the mastermind, and she wouldn't be able to deny it at all; what she had said back then had already been recorded.

For this, she had even lost her virginity... If this matter were to reach the police station, everything would be revealed. By then, not only would there be no hope with Sheng Zichen, but she would also be notorious at school!

The days ahead would be bleak and dim; if that were the case, what would be the point of living...

In the end, she was pulled away and sent to the Medical Room.

The prerequisite was—Sheng Zichen promised not to pursue this matter further!

The wound on her head wasn't deep, but the area of trauma was not small. The Medical Room could only provide simple hemostasis and bandaging; there was no better treatment available.

The doctor said that if it were only bandaged like this, it would easily leave a scar after healing. If treated at a hospital and sealed with biological glue, it would be much better.

Combined with a good scar-removal cream, it could return to its original state after a period of time.

For a pretty young girl, having a scar on her forehead would affect her future life!

The doctor was kind-hearted and also helpfully reminded them that the cost was a bit high, telling them to think it over and make a decision.

Many students at the teachers' college were on government scholarships; they got in with high scores, and most of them did not come from very well-off families.

Zichen wanted to say, "Go to the hospital, I will pay for the expenses!"

But the words reached his lips and he swallowed them back down.

He could not get involved.

He could not be soft-hearted; he was afraid that if he paid this time, Lu Feifei would overthink it again.

"I'm leaving, take care of yourself."

He turned and left, while Lu Feifei watched his back and shed tears in silence.

Monday.

Zichen did not rest well last night, so he arrived for class today just as the bell rang.

"Sheng Zichen, you are late, points deducted!"

Gu Yuxin was not scaring him this time; she really deducted the points.

Let her deduct them; she was angry, and since Zichen felt guilty toward Gu Yuxin, he did not argue and walked into the classroom in silence.

Usually, when encountering such unreasonable things, the other party would definitely argue with her for a few sentences.

But today there was nothing, absolutely nothing, and Gu Yuxin did not feel comfortable either.

Was he unwilling to even speak to her?

Fine, don't speak then, it's no big deal.

The students soon discovered that the relationship between the "Female Devil" and Sheng Zichen had changed again.

The two were like strangers, ignoring each other.

That didn't seem right either; Zichen seemed to want to talk to Gu Yuxin and would intentionally or unintentionally hover near her, but Gu Yuxin ignored him, as if they were enemies.

Noon.

Zichen went to the Cafeteria, bought a portion of sweet and sour pork tenderloin, and placed it in front of Gu Yuxin.

She immediately picked it up and dumped it into the trash can.

"If you are angry with me, you can do whatever you want to me, but don't take it out on the food; wasting food is shameful."
