The glass was obviously full, but Hu Yue continued to pour water, her mind seed to be drifting sowhere unknown.
Ma Qiaolan’s loud voice snapped Hu Yue back to reality.
Hurriedly, she stopped her actions, looked at the water on the table and floor, and quickly grabbed a cloth to clean up the ss on the table.
The water stains on the floor were also plenty, so she went to the bathroom to get a mop, cleaning the floor thoroughly.
After finishing all this, she finally picked up the now full glass of water and brought it in front of Ma Qiaolan.
She whispered, "Qiaolan, don’t eat the apple anymore, you need to take your dicine."
"The dicine is too bitter, I’ll take it later." Ma Qiaolan lazily gazed at Hu Yue, squinting her eyes and asked, "Little Yueyue, what are you thinking about? You’re not thinking of your sweetheart, are you?"
Hu Yue’s face instantly turned red.
Ma Qiaolan exclaid in disbelief, "Did I really guess right?"
"No, just take your dicine."
Hu Yue placed the glass by her bedside and got up to leave.
Ever since knowing about Hu Yue’s relationship with Teacher Tong, Ma Qiaolan often teased her; she seed to still be the lively girl from before.
...
Ti unknowingly passed by.
The incident with Teacher Tong and Hu Yue quickly resolved, and she returned to the classroom.
Ma Qiaolan’s injuries recovered too, and she went back to the classroom.
Everything seed unchanged, but in fact, both of them had undergone significant changes.
Hu Yue was gradually overcoming her timidity and inferiority, Ma Qiaolan appeared as carefree as before, but her inner defenses strengthened, with only three roommates able to get close to her.
That day, the four of them went to the cafeteria to get als.
They carried their respective trays, found an empty seat, and sat down to eat.
Soon, murmurs from the side reached their ears, clear enough for the four of them to hear.
"Did you hear? Xing Ying dropped out."
"I heard, two others in our class who were quite close to her also dropped out, nobody seems to know why."
"I know, I know—"
One of the upperclassn said with so excitent in her tone.
Soone asked in a low voice, "What’s the situation?"
"I heard she offended soone she shouldn’t have, Xing Ying’s dad got investigated and has now been demoted."
"Really?"
"Really, really! I heard Xing Ying often bullied classmates, especially those who were honest and seed to have no connections. She even pushed a girl into a corner before."
"My God, I didn’t expect her to be this kind of person?!"
"The other ones who dropped out were said to be involved in this too..."
Listening to the whispers next door, Gu Jin, Feng Hui, and Hu Yue imdiately looked at Ma Qiaolan.
She continued to eat without looking up, not showing any unusual reaction.
The three of them exchanged a glance, with a trace of complexity in their eyes.
Noticing their gaze, Ma Qiaolan raised her head, "What are you looking at for? Eat your food, looking at won’t fill your stomachs."
After speaking, she lowered her head and continued eating.
Feng Hui and Hu Yue thought Ma Qiaolan was fine, had already co out from the shadow.
Only Gu Jin, looking at the calm and unperturbed Ma Qiaolan, had a flicker of a strange expression in her eyes.
The more peaceful the appearance, the more hidden little thoughts lay beneath.
Facts proved that her guess was once again correct.
Not two days later, Gu Jin received a phone call in the middle of the night.
It was from the hospital.
The call was from soone she knew, the on-duty doctor, Wang Chao, who treated Ma Qiaolan’s injuries during her last hospital stay.
The reason for calling Gu Jin was Ma Qiaolan.
She was injured and in the hospital.
Gu Jin hung up the phone, got up, dressed, left ho, went downstairs to hail a cab, and headed straight to the hospital.
