Chapter 68: Follow the rules, I have a family, stop touching me

~7 min read 1,349 words

Xie Qin tilted his head, his posture lazy, "Follow the rules, I have a family, stop touching me."

After drinking, a few people went to play cards.

Bai Chuyue won quite a bit.

One night, it didn't end until about four or five o'clock...

At 6:30, by the artificial lake at school, the breeze brought a chill.

Shen Li sat quietly on a wooden chair, not wearing much.

Alone, just staying like this, not knowing how long she had been sitting.

Staring blankly into the distance.

Time...

Passed so fast.

From the start of school until now, two months had passed.

By the time the morning light on the horizon became brighter and brighter, the sunlight was so piercing that she couldn't open her eyes.

Only then did she slowly stand up from the wooden chair and throw the empty medicine box beside her into the trash can.

Returning to the classroom, the few people sitting at the back were all listless, lying down and sleeping.

Xie Qin sat next to Shen Li. Perhaps noticing the movement, he opened his sleepy eyes and saw Shen Li coming to class, sitting down in her seat.

Shen Li put down her bag; it seemed... every time she saw him, ninety percent of the time he was sleeping.

In the few minutes before class.

The head teacher came to collect the sign-up forms. Out of thirty people in the class, plus the two who had dropped out, a total of twenty-eight people, only four people had filled out the sign-up forms.

Wang Chunmei looked at the people on the sign-up form, but didn't see Shen Li's, so she read the names carefully again.

"Shen Li, isn't your data form written yet?"

"Mine was lost, can you give me another one?"

The head teacher took one from Zhao Zhouyuan, watched Shen Li fill it out, and then took it away.

Eight o'clock morning class, they slept all morning.

There was a fifteen-minute break in between.

Resting at school for the weekend, the classroom hadn't had the air conditioning on recently, probably because the temperature had dropped too much, and many people had colds.

There were also more people going to the corridor to get hot water.

Near the end of the corridor, there was a place to get hot water next to the vending machine.

A girl was holding a thermos cup with cold medicine brewed in it, her eyes fixed on the water, her head dizzy, when she was suddenly bumped by someone standing up next to her. She didn't hold it steady, and the water spilled all over Xie Qin's hand.

The thermos cup fell to the ground and rolled to the side.

The girl was so scared her face turned pale, "Sorry! Sorry! I didn't mean it!"

Xie Qin was scalded awake, the sleepiness in his eyes dissipated instantly, and he frowned, shaking off the unpleasant smell of medicine on his hand.

The girl quickly brought a pack of tissues to wipe his hand, "Sorry, really sorry!"

She apologized while wiping.

Xie Qin: "Don't touch me, get lost!"

People in the classroom, hearing Xie Qin losing his temper, didn't dare to breathe.

The girl who accidentally spilled water on Xie Qin was afraid of being beaten and looked like she was about to cry.

Xu Zhouyuan was also dazed from sleep, raised his head upon hearing the movement: "Hmm? What's wrong? What happened?"

Zhou Mingyu also woke up: "What's the situation?"

Shen Li saw that his forearm was a bit red and scalded, and her lips tightened.

Zhao Zhouyuan anxiously told him: "You should hurry to the restroom and rinse it with cold water. Otherwise... it will be very serious."

Xie Qin's face was ugly, he got up and went to the restroom, his whole body almost written with irritability and impatience.

Shen Li stared at his departing back, her lips tightened.

Then she saw the water on the desk flowing over, wetting some of her books. Shen Li took out tissues from her bag, wiped the water on the desk dry, and moved the textbooks that had been stained with water to another spot.

The girl who accidentally spilled the thermos cup went to get a mop and wiped the floor clean.

Xu Zhouyuan and Zhou Mingyu saw Xie Qin leave the classroom; they didn't know why he went out, but they followed him out in a daze anyway.

After mopping the floor, the girl saw the situation and immediately came over to wipe together, "Sorry, I wasn't careful, and I also got your books wet."

Shen Li responded indifferently: "It's okay, it doesn't matter."

A while later, Xu Zhouyuan came out of the restroom and shouted to the people in the class, "Who has burn ointment."

Someone in the class said, "The class monitor went to the infirmary to get medicine."

Before Xu Zhouyuan left the classroom, he glanced at Shen Li, who was completely unaffected and indifferent.

Being disturbed like this, Zhang Zixin couldn't sleep either.

Sleeping all morning, she was almost awake.

She looked at Shen Li, "Aren't you going to take a look?"

Shen Li was silent for a few seconds, and with those eyes without much emotion, she spoke in a clear and rational voice: "Rinsing with cold water for enough time, it won't be a problem."

This flat voice that didn't sound like much concern made Zhang Zixin a bit surprised, she asked suspiciously, "You... aren't worried?"

Shen Li: "They all went to see him, so... I probably shouldn't be needed."

Even if she went, she couldn't help much.

Zhang Zixin: "Alright."

What she said was indeed correct.

After a few short exchanges, Shen Li continued to do her own thing, her expression indifferent, as if nothing had anything to do with her, returning to that calm that kept people at a distance.

Zhang Zixin stood up and left the classroom through the back door.

In the restroom, three or five people were gathered here, and Xie Qin's forearm was still being rinsed under the faucet.

Seeing them still chatting.

Xu Zhouyuan couldn't help but complain: "To be honest, she really doesn't care about your life or death at all! I didn't see her worried about you either, this woman has no heart at all. It's a pity you're usually so good to her!"

Zhou Mingyu asked curiously: "Who?"

Xu Zhouyuan sneered: "Who else could it be?"

"I think you're not even as good as her few broken books."

"Alright, are you afraid others won't hear you?" Zhang Zixin walked over and took a look, "The problem isn't big, rinse it for a while longer, apply some medicine, and it should be fine."

She still spoke up for Shen Li, relaying the message: "I asked, she said there were too many people in the restroom, and it wouldn't be useful if she came."

Xu Zhouyuan retorted: "No, wife! Even if it's fake, she should at least come and take a look, right? Not even a glance, what does that mean?"

Xie Qin lowered his eyes and didn't say anything. Seeing that it was rinsed enough, he used a little force with his fingertips, and the water flow stopped.

Xu Zhouyuan: "What are you doing! The time isn't up yet, rinse it for a while longer."

Xie Qin shook the water off his hand, pulled a few tissues casually, and wiped the water on his arm, "I'm not that delicate."

Xu Zhouyuan was fanning the flames again, chattering about heartbreaking things: "Yeah, you're not delicate. I think your heart is cold, you've been chasing for so long, and she doesn't have you in her heart."

"It's not as good as our class monitor, she's running around to buy you burn ointment right now, how many times better than some heartless people."

"But then again, she doesn't like you at all, why would she worry about you!"

"Even if you lost a layer of skin, it wouldn't be her business."

He advised Xie Qin again: "I think you should stop chasing."

"She has no heart."
