Chapter 10: Afraid!

The sound of water in the pool flowed with a splash.

Shen Li washed her hands with hand sanitizer over and over again, as if wanting to wash away something dirty. She looked at her hands, which had several places scraped and bleeding, but she couldn't feel the pain. She didn't stop until she was tired of washing.

Looking at her pale face in the mirror, she waited for a while before leaving the restroom.

Hearing a familiar voice at the classroom door, Shen Li stopped in her tracks. She didn't expect them to still be there, so she lowered her eyelids, collecting all her emotions.

Xu Zhouyuan: "Brother Qin, what's so good about fixing a broken chair? Why not just change it?"

Qiao Lang looked at Xie Qin tentatively: "I just went to the restroom and saw that girl washing her hands like her life depended on it. Her emotions seemed a bit wrong, and her hands were washed until they were bleeding, which scared me so much I turned around and left."

Xu Zhouyuan couldn't believe it. "Really? So serious? In this situation, maybe there's something wrong with her mind."

"Shut your mouth." Xie Qin was still holding a cigarette, tightening the loose screw. The irritable mood in his heart became intense. The place where the chair leg was bent and deformed was stepped straight back by him when he stood up. The chair was repaired under his violence.

Xie Qin raised his eyes, looking outside the classroom door, but there was no one there.

After they left, Shen Li returned to the classroom. Seeing the chair Xie Qin had repaired, she planned to swap with Zhao Zhouyuan.

She pulled the chair, but stopped halfway through the action, and finally pulled Xie Qin's chair and swapped it with her own.

He broke it, so he should sit in the broken one; it was very fair.

There was only an hour and a half left until the last class in the afternoon, so Shen Li simply didn't leave.

She sat in the classroom reading. She ate the bread she bought last night for lunch. Her appetite wasn't big, and one piece of bread was enough for her. It was mainly cheap, but it really didn't taste good; it was too sweet.

She drank it with water, barely filling her stomach.

When Zhang Zixin came to the classroom and saw the thin back in the classroom, sitting alone reading, she was surprised: "Shen Li, you really didn't leave?"

Shen Li: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, someone asked me to bring you something. I'll put it here, then I'm leaving."

She saw a box of iodophor cotton swabs in the plastic bag, and a bottle of hot milk.

Zhang Zixin looked at the wound on her hand, which wasn't big or small, and was bleeding a bit, but it had stopped. "This medicine is for disinfection, remember to apply it."

Probably in a hurry for a date, she put the things down and ran away.

Shen Li looked strangely at the empty seat behind her, stared for a while, then slowly turned her head and continued reading.

Until the afternoon class.

Zhao Zhouyuan returned, looking like she had really cried in sadness, her eyes still very swollen.

"Softie. Let's swap the seats back, I don't want to be too close to Xie Qin, I've never seen such an annoying person, and it's not my fault, and you saw it, I called everyone's phone several times."

Shen Li thought of what had just happened in the morning, bit her lip, and didn't refuse: "Okay."

The two moved their desks back and forth and swapped the seats back.

Zhao Zhouyuan asked inexplicably: "Shen Li, what's your relationship with Xie Qin? Are you close?"

Shen Li continued to look at the book in her hand after swapping seats: "No relationship, not close."

"Are you afraid of him?"

She grew up in Haishi and had never seen classmates fighting around her, nor had she interacted with bad students.

Coming to Wuchuan, she had seen it.

Not to be trifled with!

And couldn't afford to offend.

"Afraid." The way he got angry at Zhao Zhouyuan was indeed a bit scary.

Zhao Zhouyuan looked at her and didn't say anything else.

Xie Qin hadn't come to class for a few days, only his books were piled on the desk.

Shen Li also discovered that out of the thirty-plus people in the class, there were hardly any who could come to class. The head teacher was catching people who skipped class or didn't attend on time. Once, only a dozen people were caught.

It was just that they couldn't manage Xie Qin and his group.

From the start of school until now, the highest attendance was when Xie Qin came to class, and the classroom was filled with girls.

"Softie, I haven't seen you play with your phone much? Don't you send messages to your boyfriend?"

Shen Li had almost finished half the book in these two days: "I don't have a boyfriend."

"You're so beautiful, no one is chasing you? That's too bad, I thought many people were chasing you."

After all, Shen Li was truly beautiful, even better looking than some models and celebrities. She belonged to the gorgeous and cold type of beauty, charming but not vulgar. It was just that when she didn't speak, the cold aura was too strong, making people feel she was hard to get along with, and they didn't dare to talk to her much. But after interacting, she felt she had a very gentle voice, didn't seem to have any temper at all, and would even smile when talking to you occasionally.

Her skin was also very good. In the dormitory, she washed her face with clear water and didn't use skincare or cosmetics to cover up the flaws on her face. It should be said… Shen Li was beautiful without any flaws.

In Zhao Zhouyuan's view, the fact that she didn't have a boyfriend was because she was too picky.

Shen Li brushed it off and didn't respond.

"Oh my, my stomach, I can't do it."

"Softie, you follow the list above and send text messages, urging them to come to class. I'm going to take a big dump, it must be that the cafeteria food today is problematic…"

Zhao Zhouyuan clutched her stomach, took a pack of tissues, and ran out with her phone.

Shen Li: "I…"

She looked at this list, feeling a bit troubled…

Xinxin Billiard Club.

Those who came here were college students from nearby schools, and quite a few college students worked part-time here. The business for billiard teaching assistants was quite good—six hundred for one session, fifteen hundred for the whole day. Everyone was youthful, beautiful, tall, with hot figures and small waists.

Xie Qin tilted his head and took a sip of wine. When it was his turn, he casually put the wine bottle aside, took the cue, leaned over, and hit a beautiful arc, and the ball collided into the hole.

"Brother Qin, you haven't been right lately…"

"Yeah, always drifting off, not even bringing your girlfriend."

Xu Zhouyuan stood with his cue and looked at Qiao Lang: "Mesmerized by our vice class monitor?"

"But I can see it, she clearly has no interest in you."

Zhou Mingyu: "Isn't it just that when she first came to school to register, you called her to the corridor and scolded her? That directly scared her. And you flipped the table in front of her and made the female classmate cry. Brother Qin's temper is something everyone is afraid of."

"Mainly this Zhao Zhouyuan is also unclear about her own situation. Doesn't she know what kind of person she is? Catching us from the start of school until now, isn't it aimed at…" He raised his chin and pointed at Xie Qin, "Brother Qin."

"No wonder Brother Qin can't stand her."

"Shen Li, I have to say, is indeed beautiful, better looking than Song Yuewei."

The three looked at each other, nodded, and agreed with this idea.

Xu Zhouyuan: "That's true…"

Xie Qin: "You guys understand again?"

*Buzz*—on the billiard table, Xie Qin's phone vibrated. After hitting the ball halfway, he picked up the phone to look at the message unhurriedly. It was a strange phone number with only three short words… ===== CHAPTER 11 =====
