Chapter 5 Lowering
There was an awkward silence at the dining table, which was incompatible with the noisy atmosphere around them.
The silent girl sat with her back straight, her half-draped long eyelashes covering all the emotions in her eyes.
Her side face glowed coldly white under the illumination of the LED lamp. As she lowered her head, her bangs fell down, and her face became a little hazy for a moment, making it unclear. Her look.
Liu Yue still looked at Xi Ruan with a smile. Just when Zou Qingqing and Lu Xiaoping wanted to say a few words to ease the suffocating atmosphere, Xi Ruan turned to look at Liu Yue.
I saw her smiling slightly, and her fair face with some baby fat seemed to radiate under the light. Her pair of deer eyes were clear and pure, and it seemed that no haze could stay in her eyes.
She stretched out a thin white finger and pointed at her throat, then spread her fingers and waved them in front of her to show that she could not speak.
Liu Yue suddenly showed an expression of realization, "Oh~ you have a cold and your voice is hoarse, right?"
After saying that, Liu Yue looked at Xi Ruan's dinner plate, stretched out his chopsticks and began to eat her He picked out the chili peppers on the plate and said with concern: "You are sick, so don't eat spicy food. It will affect your recovery." A dim light.
"Okay~ I've finished picking them all." Liu Yue piled the peppers aside and patted Xi Ruan's head with a smile, "You have to get better soon. You are so beautiful and your voice must be nice. Look back. Let’s enter the choir together.”
Xi Ruan’s expression froze obviously, and his face sank almost uncontrollably.
But Liu Yue didn't seem to notice, and turned to Zou Qingqing to ask a few questions about the choir.
When she turned around again, she found that Xi Ruan was still stunned and said in a strange tone: "What's wrong, Xi Ruan? Eat quickly? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Xi Ruan is like this Then he came back to his senses, smiled at Liu Yue and shook his head, picked up the chopsticks again and lowered his head to eat.
It was as if... nothing happened to her.
——
If it weren't for the piercing alarm in his head, Jiang Lingsi almost believed that Xi Ruan was as calm as she appeared.
Jiang Lingsi, who had been leaning back in his chair to watch the show, couldn't help it. He sneered and asked in his mind: "You are so bullied that you don't even dare to look at others. Are you sure that this soft person is... Can buns turn black? 】
It is no coincidence that the woman has a natural and frank face, but she is able to address people's pain points with every word.
He didn't believe the words "affecting recovery", "having a nice voice" and "entering the choir", saying that she didn't know that this soft bun was mute and couldn't recover, couldn't make a nice voice, let alone sing.
Besides, he clearly saw the successful smile on the corner of the woman's mouth when Xi Ruan's face was stiff, but it was covered up by her turning her head to talk to other people.
The system clearly felt that Jiang Lingsi had underestimated the mission goal, and immediately issued a warning: [Please correct your attitude, host! If the target is completely blackened, the host's health will immediately return to zero! 】
【If you don’t break out in silence, you will perish in silence! The host should take it as its own responsibility to eliminate the target's blackening value, prevent the target from going to extremes, and at the same time seek a better future life for itself! 】
【Oh, I didn’t expect you to be quite educated. 】Jiang Lingsi joked, fearing that the system would continue to nag him, then he quickly said, "Okay, I get it. Even if it's just for my own life, I will complete the task well." 】
The system made no sound. Jiang Lingsi took another deep look at Xi Ruan's profile, with thoughts flashing in his eyes.
It happened that Huoda and the others came back after finishing their meal. Jiang Lingsi took the plate and stopped thinking about it and concentrated on eating.
——
This day was simply the most uncomfortable day Xi Ruan had ever had since he transferred to another school.
Just watching the culprit who made her mute with just a joke mingling with her classmates, laughing so freely.
Liu Yue is so straightforward and cheerful, but she is like a selfish and narrow-minded villain, full of hatred because of other people's unintentional mistakes and her careless words.
Finally after school, Xi Ruan walked out of the classroom quickly. For the first time, she was so eager to return to the home that did not belong to her.
Liu Yue, who was joking with her classmates, looked at Xi Ruan's back and couldn't help but smile with joy from the bottom of her heart.
——
On the side of the road not far from the school.
Xi Ruan closed his eyes when he saw the message from the driver on his mobile phone that he would be late due to a traffic accident.
But fortunately, after leaving school, Liu Yue could not be seen.
"Eh? Do you think that's Xi Ruan?" An exclamation came from behind, and Xi Ruan froze immediately.
"Wait for me, I'll go over and talk to Xi Ruan about something, and we'll leave together later."
Xi Ruan clutched the strap of his schoolbag, trying to pretend he didn't hear anything. He hurriedly left, but there was the sound of running behind him, and soon he was patted on the shoulder and held down.
"Xi Ruan, it's a good thing you haven't left yet!" Liu Yue turned Xi Ruan's body to face him with an expression of great joy.
Xi Ruan pursed his lips slightly, trying to control his expression, and his eyes were questioning.
Liu Yue took Xi Ruan's hand and smiled brightly, "Didn't I say I wanted to join the choir with you this morning? But the squad leader said you chose the photography club. I want to ask you again if you want to change. Change, come with me.”
Hearing Liu Yue’s question, Xi Ruan first lowered his eyes and looked at the hands held by the two of them.
Obviously her hand was held by the other person's warm palm, but she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave. The hairs all over her body stood up instantly, as if she was being stared at by a poisonous snake, with layers of hair rising from head to toe. Goosebumps.
She immediately shook her head, rejecting Liu Yue, and just wanted to stay away from her as soon as possible.
Liu Yue suddenly showed a disappointed expression, ignoring Xi Ruan's movement to take out her hand, but instead covered her with another hand and continued to hold her tightly, "Why don't you want to go to the choir?"
“Do you think your singing is not good?”
“It doesn’t matter, I can teach you how to sing!”
“I won the Chinese Opera Award for Best Female Singer’s!”
"With me here, even if you are terrible at singing, I can make you improve by leaps and bounds! Just speak boldly and it will be ok!"
Liu Yue said, staring closely at Xi Ruan's expression .
Sure enough, Xi Ruan's expression became even more ugly every time she said a word.
That little face that was so beautiful that she was jealous was already so angry that the muscles in her cheeks were trembling slightly, and even those clear and bright eyes were tainted, stained with a haze that shouldn't belong to her.
Finally, Xi Ruan seemed to be unable to bear it anymore, and with red eyes, he struggled to pull out his hand.
Liu Yue looked surprised, but smiled in her heart, and then fell back under Xi Ruan's angry eyes.
Looking at Xi Ruan's eyes that turned from anger to shock, Liu Yue's eyes were filled with contempt.
Xi Ruan, three years ago I could destroy your singing voice with one sentence and make the world-famous "Siren's Bead" X.R disappear. Three years later, you are just a toy I use for entertainment. . (End of this chapter)
