"There are two minutes left before class, run!" Ying Nuo glanced at the time, grabbed Luo Ye and started running, but soon stopped to help Luo Ye catch her breath, her face flushed, "Sorry, sorry, I forgot that you are still weak, don't rush; worst case, Teacher Yang will scold us for a bit!"
Luo Ye took a deep breath, "My body, really needs to be trained!" Just running those few steps, her throat dried up and her legs turned weak, her body had gone through much hardship in the past.
If not for the strong will to avenge her parents' death and her broken family, she probably wouldn't have gained her skills, but her actions must have disappointed her superior who valued her.
For this, she could only silently apologize. With such deep-rooted hatred, how could she easily let it go?
Before they reached the classroom, the bell signaling the start of class rang, and Ying Nuo sighed softly, "Luoluo, don't be sad if Teacher Yang scolds you. It's just how she is, don't take it to heart!"
"Don't worry, I'm okay!" Luo Ye firmly grasped Ying Nuo's hand and squeezed, her friend was truly considerate.
The young Luo Ye, cowardly and sensitive, would always cry at her desk after being scolded, and because of this, the teacher disliked her even more.
Luo Ye and her brother Luo Feng's personalities were greatly influenced by their mother, Wen Xin, the epitome of a virtuous wife and good mother, gentle as water. Her world revolved around her husband. Otherwise, she wouldn't have committed suicide the day Luo Zhenggang was executed. If it weren't for utter despair, how could she ignore her children?
"Luoluo, what's wrong?"
Ying Nuo's inquiry reminded Luo Ye that she was still tightly gripping Ying Nuo's hand and she embarrassedly smiled, "Thinking about getting scolded makes me nervous!"
"You! Just said to be brave, why panic now?" Ying Nuo reassured her as they walked towards the classroom door.
Teacher Yang's eyes behind her glasses flashed ominously, "Where were you?"
Ying Nuo raised her hand, "Report! Luo Ye fainted during P.E. class and was sent to the infirmary for IV treatment. I checked the time and just went to fetch her from the infirmary. Doctor Zhang said that Luo Ye can't walk too fast, so we were late!" Ying Nuo explained stutteringly in English, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
Teacher Yang glanced at Luo Ye and Shangguan Ying Nuo, adjusting her glasses, "Shangguan Ying Nuo, can't Luo Ye speak for herself? You go sit down first."
Ying Nuo helplessly pinched Luo Ye's palm and returned to her seat.
"Luo Ye, stand at the back of the classroom!" as Teacher Yang spoke, she flipped open the textbook, "Class, please turn to page 56. Last class, I assigned everyone to preview and identify areas of confusion. Let's see your preparatory work!"
Just as Teacher Yang's voice fell, Luo Ye spoke, "Teacher Yang, may I ask, why do I have to stand at the back of the classroom?"
The second-year, class two went utterly silent, all eyes were fixated on Luo Ye. The usually timid girl, who treated the teacher's word as sacred, dared to question?
Yang Mingfang was also stunned, clearly not expecting Luo Ye to counter her, her face grew angry: "You're late and can't explain in English in detail. Don't you usually give up and go to stand at the back?"
Luo Ye straightened her frail spine and replied in English, "In Teacher Yang's eyes, is my life worth nothing? Ying Nuo has already explained why I was late. If you don't believe it, you can inquire at the infirmary. Isn't it irrational to have me stand at the back without verifying the facts, as someone who teaches by example?"
Luo Ye spoke too quickly for Yang Mingfang to understand fully and not wanting to show weakness, she frowned, "Alright, forget it, go back to your seat."
"Luoluo, not bad, after fainting once you really caught on, I like this new you!" Shangguan Yingnuo secretly gave a thumbs up under the table.
Throughout the class, Luo Ye was almost in a daze, and Yang Mingfang was clearly watching her all the time, calling her to answer questions whenever she appeared lost staring outside the window!
In the past during training, Luo Ye, who was always alert despite being distracted now, would not be easily troubled by Yang Mingfang, would she?
Yang Mingfang's expression was increasingly puzzled, she even made mistakes twice during the lecture, fortunately, she reacted quickly and covered it up immediately, the class representative Wang Shanshan glanced suspiciously at Yang Mingfang, but withdrew her hand that was about to go up after catching Yang Mingfang's slightly guilty glance.
...
After class, looking at the thick stack of textbooks in front of her, Luo Ye couldn't help but feel a headache. Apart from English, Chinese, and Physics, she needed to work harder on the other subjects, but thinking back to her last life, she also started working hard in her senior year of high school and got into a satisfactory university, a redo wouldn't be worse than before!
"Luo Ye, are you skimming through your books?" Shangguan Ying Nuo couldn't help but speak after observing Luo Ye for a long time; she found that Luo Ye had changed more than just a little!
The student in front of her, Zhong Chongmei, turned her head and sneered: "Ye Zi, it's useless for you to bury your head in your books. Instead of wasting time, you might as well think about what job to find in case you don't get into college. Hey, you are not thinking about being a factory worker, are you?"
"It's none of your concern, just mind your own business!" When Luo Ye said this, her eyes flashed cold, a pity her hair covered it and Zhong Chongmei couldn't see it.
"Ye Zi, you fainted once, didn't you damage your brain too?" Zhong Chongmei stretched out her hand to touch Luo Ye's forehead, Shangguan Ying Nuo was about to stop her, but then Luo Ye quickly leaned her head back, and Zhong Chongmei grasped at thin air.
Zhong Chongmei looked at her outstretched hand in disbelief. In her memory, Luo Ye was always slow, dodging? Impossible. How come suddenly after fainting once, she became faster?
"Zhong Chongmei, you always bully Luo Ye, don't think I don't know why, isn't it because you're manipulated by Pan Yan? Even a rabbit will bite when cornered, let alone a human?
From today onward, Luo Ye is not the same old Luo Ye, hmph! If you bully her again, you will face the consequences!" Shangguan Ying Nuo said these words with less confidence, but since Luo Ye finally gathered courage, as her best friend, she felt she should boost her morale!
Yingnuo's dad is the chief of the police station near the school, and students, well, are naturally wary of policemen, Zhong Chongmei's eyes flickered unwillingly as she turned her head back.
Luo Ye unexpectedly glanced at Shangguan Yingnuo, Shangguan Yingnuo feeling embarrassed shake Luo Ye's arm slightly: "Luoluo, I had Shao Bo help me check into why Pan Fang and Zhang Jinyan always target you, you're not upset, right?"
"Not at all, you care about me!" Luo Ye comforted Yingnuo, her physical foundation was still too weak, she wouldn't be foolish enough to clarify everything with Pan Fang and the others now!
Yingnuo tidied Luo Ye's hair at the front, pouting, "Luoluo, you should change your hairstyle, those people are just spouting nonsense, how can you take it seriously?"
Luo Ye nodded, "I will, in a little while!"
