Chapter 19: I Can’t Cry

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Teacher Xia, I… I’m fine.”I gritted my teeth and endured the pain. I did not tell her what Fang Qian had done to me.

So what if I told her?

Xia Qingrou could not do anything to him. If she spoke up for me, he would make me suffer even more.

Fang Qian revealed a cold smile. It was as if he knew that I did not dare to tell her.

“Is that so? Let me take a look.” Teacher Xia bent down and checked the injury on my hand.

In an instant, my face and ears turned red. At the same time, my anger rose. I could not help but ask, “Fang Qian, why aren’t you going to class?”

Xia Qingrou turned her head to look. “That’s right. Why are you still standing here?”

Fang Qian’s reaction was indeed quick. He withdrew his fist before she turned her head around and said in a panic, “I… I’ll go back immediately!”

Fang Qian did not dare to stay any longer and turned around to leave.

After he left, Xia Qingrou turned around and asked softly, “Zhang Lu, tell me, how you got so heavily injured. Were you beaten up?”

I did not dare to say it out loud. I only said, “No, I trained in martial arts to strengthen my body. I was practicing nunchakus and injured myself. The tutorial video said that it was normal for me to get so many injuries in the beginning…”

Xia Qingrou did not ask further. After a moment of silence, she suddenly said, “Do you… know something?”

My heart shook.

Could it be that she recognized me as the boy toy that accompanied her that night?!

On the surface, I only pretended to be at a loss. “Know what? Teacher Xia, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Xia Qingrou’s cheeks slightly reddened as she said, “Your Teacher Yang told me that you know about that matter. Zhang Lu, actually, this is a very normal matter. It could happen to anyone. Do you understand?”

I was stunned when I heard that.

It could happen to anyone?

This was probably just an excuse for Teacher Xia to comfort herself. In this world, how could it be normal for people to go to nightclubs?

However, she was so good to me, so I was never going to leak her secret to anyone. I said, “Teacher Xia, don’t worry. I won’t tell anyone. You’re a good person. I don’t want to hurt you.”

Xia Qingrou smiled sweetly and said, “You’re indeed a good person. Thank you.”

I felt that I could not continue. I changed the topic and asked, “Teacher Xia, how did you know that I was injured?”

Xia Qingrou did not continue the topic and said, “I was passing by that classroom and happened to see that you were injured. You seemed to have fainted, so I went to check.”

I suddenly understood.

I was sitting very close to the back door. She probably passed by the back door and saw my condition.

However, at that time, I thought that I was just lying down to rest. I did not expect to actually fall asleep, which caused her to misunderstand.

As we were talking, the school doctor arrived. When he saw that it was me, he said in astonishment, “It’s you again. Why are you injured again today?”

I grunted vaguely and did not dare to say anything else.

After the school doctor gave me a general check-up, he said in surprise, “Your physique is quite good. Most people would have collapsed and would be unable to move after suffering so many injuries, yet you still came to school. However, just to be on the safe side, I still suggest that you go to the hospital for a check-up to prevent any internal injuries. If there’s internal bleeding or something like that, then you’re done for!”

How would I dare to go for a checkup?

I said, “I’m really fine. I’ll be fine after using some medicine.”

Beside me, Xia Qingrou said, “That won’t do. Since the school doctor has already said so, you definitely have to go for a checkup.”

I lowered my head and said in a low voice, “I… I don’t want to go for a checkup.”

Both of them were stunned and looked at each other.

After a long while, Xia Qingrou said softly, “Zhang Lu, why don’t you want to have a checkup?”

I raised my head to look at her gentle gaze and subconsciously said, “I… I don’t have any money…”

After saying that, my face turned red as I cursed myself for telling the truth!

Xia Qingrou was stunned as she looked at the school doctor. After thinking for a moment, she said, “How about this, you go and have a checkup. I’ll pay for your expenses.”

My entire body shook violently and my eyes started to moisten.

No!

I can’t cry!

I did not know if she was willing to spend this money because I had something on her, or if it was really because she had a kind heart. However, no matter what, the friendliness that she displayed towards me was something that I had never experienced from anyone in this school!

Still, I rejected her.

Xia Qingrou had no choice but to give up. She could not drag me to the hospital either. In the end, the school doctor could only apply some medicine for my injuries.

In the next few days, my injuries slowly recovered. Other than the bruises on the surface, there were no serious effects.

It seemed that the thugs that Yang Gang had found had a sense of propriety. They beat me up, but they did not do so brutally.

However, although my body was healing, I did not feel any better in terms of the pain.

In the past few days, Liang Xue had been sitting together with Guo Zhicheng every day. They were extremely close.

I tried to talk to her several times, but she did not give me a clear reply. All she said was we would talk after I paid off the debt.

Five days later, after class, I was about to go to the cafeteria for lunch when I walked to the side of a small bamboo forest at school. Suddenly, a few people surrounded me and forcefully dragged me into the small bamboo forest..
