Chapter 426 Why are you helping me again?
After sending Xia Nian downstairs, Xia Hou Yu waved at her and stood there watching her go in.
Xia Nian's heart beat faster because of his words. After returning to the dormitory, she washed her face with cold water before calming down.
On the other side, Tao Tao was still hiding from Yi Qing.
She felt a little scared about his one-sided love for her. It was fine during class, but every time the get out of class was over, Tao Tao would rush to the bathroom, not giving him any chance to talk to her.
After casually washing her hands in the toilet, Tao Tao poked her head out and looked left and right to make sure no one dared to go out.
But their seats were next to each other and they couldn't change seats. Tao Tao didn't know how to face him while sitting there.
"Why don't I ask the teacher to change seats..." Tao Tao muttered to herself. As soon as she turned the corner, she realized that someone was looking at her. She turned around stiffly, but it was too late. Yi Qing stopped her and asked, "Why are you hiding from me?"
Tao Tao said awkwardly, "Is there? I don't think so."
She lowered her head and didn't even look at him. Yi Qing felt very proud and asked, "Is it because of what I said yesterday? I told you not to care, I just wanted you to know."
Tao Tao really didn't know how to deal with this kind of thing. Just then the bell rang, and she hurriedly said, "No, no! Class is about to start, I should go."
As soon as she took a step out, Yiqing stood in front of her and said, "It's a self-study class, you don't have to go back."
"Aren't you going back? I want to go back." Tao Tao said, trying to go around him, but was stopped by Yi Qing again.
Wherever she went, Yiqing blocked her way. After ten minutes of stalemate, Tao Tao couldn't stand it anymore and had to say, "What are you going to do?"
"Why are you hiding from me? Am I scary?" Yiqing asked with a frown.
"No, it's just that we weren't very familiar with each other, so..." Tao Tao hesitated.
Yiqing didn't quite understand: "How can we get to know each other if you avoid me like this?"
It seemed to be true, but Tao Tao didn't know him after all. What if he was just in a spur of the moment? She didn't want to waste her time on such things.
"Well, then let's just be like ordinary classmates. I'm going to the library." Tao Tao said, moving silently to the side. Seeing that Yi Qing didn't stop her anymore, she immediately ran away.
Yiqing looked at her back with dark eyes.
Since Tao Tao doesn't like this, he can only try other methods.
After studying in the library for an hour, Tao Tao was about to send a message to ask the three what they were going to eat for lunch. Xia Nian didn't want to eat, Meng Yin and her partner were eating together, and Xu Zheng had already eaten in the club. Tao Tao sent a crying emoji, packed up her things and left the library.
After leaving the library, there was only one way leading to the cafeteria. Tao Tao walked slowly and when she passed an alley, she saw a group of people gathered inside.
She covered her mouth and stepped aside. She seemed to have just seen that group of people beating someone!
Is it school bullying? Or revenge? In any case, if so many people beat up one person, something bad will happen!
Tao Tao typed a few numbers in the address book with shaking fingers, held up her phone to the entrance of the alley, and shouted, "I'm calling the police!"
Those people looked at each other and slipped away.
Tao Tao breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't expect them to run so fast. She looked down and saw that the man who was beaten was Yi Qing! He hugged his knees, buried his head in his arms, and his hair was messy, but Tao Tao recognized him at a glance.
Yiqing was beaten?!
She hurried forward, "Yiqing? How are you?"
Yiqing raised his head from his arms, and Tao Tao saw that his face was covered with red marks and his eyes were watery, looking so pitiful.
"Oh my God, let's go to the infirmary!" Tao Tao said as she grabbed his arm. Yi Qing hissed and she hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, is your arm injured too? Can you stand up?"
Yiqing shook his head and said with his eyes downcast: "Aren't you going to hide from me? Why are you helping me again?"
"I...these two things don't seem to conflict with each other." Tao Tao said weakly, "Let's not talk about this for now. I'll take you to treat your wound."
"Will you pay attention to me after I deal with it?" Yiqing asked, looking at her with clear eyes, "Will you stop avoiding me?"
Tao Tao was startled and had to say, "Stop hiding. Give me your hand."
Yiqing said: "You keep your word."
Tao Tao nodded: "I keep my word." She put her arm around Yiqing's shoulders and helped him stand up with great effort. Yiqing leaned almost half of his body on her, as if he had no bones.
"You are seriously injured. Can you go to the infirmary? Do you want to go to the hospital?" Tao Tao asked.
Yi Qing said, "Let's go to my house. The driver is outside. I'll let him in."
"Okay then, I'll wait here with you." Tao Tao put him on the chair and couldn't help asking, "Why did they... beat you?"
Yiqing whispered, "They said bad things about you, and I was beaten when I tried to stop them."
His expression was sincere, and there was no sign of lying. Tao Tao still felt a little strange. Aren't those people afraid of Yiqing? Why did they dare to hit him?
"Can……"
"They blindfolded me and I couldn't see what they looked like." Yiqing seemed to have guessed her doubts and took the lead in explaining.
Now Tao Tao understood that as long as Yiqing didn't know who those people were, he wouldn't be able to find them even if he wanted to take revenge.
And Yiqing was beaten because of her...
"Yiqing, I'm sorry. Next time you hear them talking nonsense, just ignore them. It's all lies anyway." Tao Tao said apologetically.
"You don't care, but I do." Yiqing said.
Tao Tao felt a little helpless, but Yiqing did it for her after all, so she couldn't say anything to spoil his mood, and she felt quite touched.
"Well, let's not talk about this for now. Your injury is important. Does it hurt?" Tao Tao asked worriedly. Although her face was not disfigured, there were red marks all over her face, which looked painful.
"It doesn't hurt." After Yiqing said that, the car drove over. The driver hurriedly got out, opened the door, and helped Yiqing to the back seat together with Tao Tao.
Tao Tao waved at him: "If it hurts too much, you must go to the hospital."
Yiqing looked at her and asked, "Aren't you going back with me?"
Tao Tao was stunned and said, "I still have classes in the afternoon."
"It's just two periods, just ask for leave." Yi Qing lowered his head, "I understand, go ahead, no matter what I do, you will avoid me, right?"
"Ah..." Tao Tao's expression became a little embarrassed. She felt very uncomfortable with Yiqing's behavior. She hugged her schoolbag tightly, sat next to Yiqing, and explained: "That's not what I meant."
Seeing that the two were seated, the driver started the car.
Yiqing smiled at her. He of course knew that Tao Tao didn't mean that, but if he didn't say that, how could she follow him?
I have to say, the victim's identity is really useful, and thanks to the medicine researched by Gu Ling, he looks like he is really injured.
Where Tao Tao couldn't see, Yiqing had a triumphant smile on his face.
Tao Tao nervously grabbed the strap of her schoolbag and asked, "Yiqing, why are you outside the library today?"
Yiqing replied: "I'll go find you."
Now Tao Tao felt even more guilty. If she hadn't been hiding from Yiqing, Yiqing wouldn't have come looking for her, and she wouldn't have been beaten.
"I'm sorry, I won't hide from you anymore." Tao Tao made up her mind and said to him seriously.
"Really?" Yi Qing asked uncertainly. The red marks on his face made him look very cautious in his question, as if he was afraid that Tao Tao would go back on her word.
"Will you regret it?" he asked again.
Tao Tao said quickly: "No, no, we get along like friends."
Hearing this, Yiqing finally smiled sincerely.
His plan this time was a perfect success.
