Chapter 2 Please, don't leave me
Chapter 2 Please, don't leave me
"What...did you say?"
Lu Zhaoye's squatting body trembled violently; he could hardly believe it.
"I... am blind."
The girl lowered her head, forcing a smile. "...Could you help me find my white cane?"
Lu Zhaoye was momentarily dazed, staring blankly at the ragged girl.
"...Okay, wait a moment, I'll help you find it."
However, Lu Zhaoye searched around but couldn't find the white cane the girl had mentioned.
He also remembered what the green-haired guy had said earlier; the stick had probably been thrown away.
"Young man, you've most likely lost your white cane and can't find it."
Upon hearing this, the girl silently shed tears.
"They've already ruined two of my white canes, and I don't have the money to buy new ones..."
Lu Zhaoye stood there without saying a word, but he had already made up his mind to help the girl.
Unexpectedly, the original owner of this body was born in this way, and actually led his underlings to bully a blind person.
You little thing, damn it, I really need to control you properly.
"Hey classmate, how many times have they bullied you?"
Lu Zhaoye squatted down in front of the girl and asked seriously.
The girl trembled slightly and stammered, "No...no."
Lu Zhaoye's eyes widened, and he laughed in anger.
"You've been bullied like this by them, and you're still defending them?"
The girl didn't say anything, just buried her head and sniffed.
Lu Zhaoye let out a helpless sigh and continued to ask,
"What's your name? Where do you live?"
The girl paused for a moment, then said her name.
"My name is Xu Ziqing... I am a student at No. 2 Middle School."
Lu Zhaoye nodded, but the girl didn't tell him where she lived. Instead, she said something else.
"Could you please call my mom and ask her to come pick me up? I don't have a white cane... I can't get home."
Lu Zhaoye gave the girl a strange look, not expecting her to be so wary.
But he's a student too, "...I don't have a cell phone."
"Okay," the girl wiped away her tears, her emotions having calmed down considerably.
"Excuse me, what's your name?"
Lu Zhaoye didn't think much of it and directly said his name.
"Lu Zhaoye."
"what!"
The girl gasped and shrank back into the corner.
Tears streamed down her face without warning. "You...you're in cahoots with them."
Lu Zhaoye:! ! !
"Ah...no," Lu Zhaoye was so anxious he was at his wit's end.
I never expected that this girl would know me.
He quickly moved closer, trying to calm the girl down.
But Xu Ziqing wouldn't listen to his explanation at all; instead, she cried even louder when she felt him getting closer.
She cried and pleaded, "Please, don't bully me..."
"No, that's not it..."
Lu Zhaoye knelt on one knee in front of the girl, gesturing wildly as if he were forming hand seals.
"Don't worry, I really won't bully you anymore, and I won't in the future."
At this moment, Xu Ziqing was out of control and couldn't hear what Lu Zhaoye was saying at all.
His body was trembling uncontrollably, and he tightly hugged his head.
"I'm sorry, I really won't go near Su Cheng again. Please, please stop bullying me..."
Seeing this, Lu Zhaoye felt a little dizzy, but he knew he couldn't panic at this moment.
Lu Zhaoye shook his head, looked at the girl in front of him who was crying her heart out, cleared his throat and shouted angrily.
"Xu Ziqing!"
I have to admit, with my fierce look, I really do look like a gang leader.
"......"
Xu Ziqing, who was crying, was clearly startled when she heard the shout.
Lu Zhaoye wanted this brief moment of clarity, so he quickly spoke up.
"Listen carefully, I said I won't bully you anymore! From now on, it will never be the case!"
Then, he straightened up and took a few steps back, deliberately making a loud noise to let the girl know.
Sure enough, the girl's sobs subsided considerably.
"I know this is something that's hard for you to believe right now, but I'll prove it to you."
Actually, it was right after I called out the girl's name.
Lu Zhaoye discovered that a new memory had suddenly appeared in his mind, and he finally understood what was going on.
He crossed.
Although Lu Zhaoye didn't know what the trigger for his time travel was.
But despite this strange situation, he did indeed bring his memories with him when he transmigrated into this body.
Without time to think further, Lu Zhaoye continued.
"Xu Ziqing, it's completely dark now."
"If you don't come home soon, your mother will be worried, won't she?"
A threat, a blatant threat.
But Lu Zhaoye really couldn't think of a good solution for the time being.
They are all day students, and they are only in their second year of high school, so they don't get out of school particularly late.
Xu Ziqing was originally the best student in No. 2 Middle School.
A year ago, when I was in my first year of high school, I had a high fever and took the wrong medicine, which caused me to lose my sight.
To help her, the school specially hired an excellent general Braille teacher and arranged a small room for her.
Xu Ziqing was also very determined and quickly accepted the reality of her blindness.
I learned Braille and how to use a white cane.
Although her grades plummeted for a period of time, she quickly caught up and is now back in the top ten of her grade.
For the sake of our future life.
Two months before the start of the school term, she asked her mother if she could use her white cane to go to and from school independently.
And this was the beginning of all the trouble.
"Xu Ziqing, I know where you live."
"If you trust me, I'll take you back. If you don't trust me, wait here for a while while I go find your mother to pick you up."
Perhaps it was because of Lu Zhaoye's shout just now.
Xu Ziqing calmed down. She didn't have her phone with her and had no idea what time it was. She didn't expect it to be so late.
Mom will worry.
"It's almost 10 o'clock. I'll give you two more minutes to think it over."
An anxious look appeared on Xu Ziqing's face.
But at this moment, she didn't have a cane and couldn't walk home on her own.
At 10 o'clock sharp, Xu Ziqing still didn't say anything.
Lu Zhaoye's eyes sharpened, and after a brief moment of thought, he decided to take a gamble.
"Xu Ziqing, I'm going to your house to get your mother to pick you up. Stay here and don't go with strangers."
"Oh, by the way, just a heads up, all the shops along this street are closed, so I can't leave you there."
"If we run into those thugs at the bar, we're doomed. Just wait for me here, I'll be right back."
Having said that, Lu Zhaoye sighed heavily, deliberately making stomping noises as he slowly retreated towards the alley entrance.
"Don't worry, I'll take responsibility for my actions. I will definitely take charge of you."
Xu Ziqing finally raised her head.
She felt her eyes stinging and she felt like crying.
On this road home, many people ride motorcycles that make noise at night.
My mom said they were high-class thugs, and we shouldn't mess with them.
If she really ran into them... Xu Ziqing didn't dare to think about it.
"I really won't bully you anymore, believe me."
The sentence kept echoing in Xu Ziqing's mind as she listened to the footsteps that were about to disappear from her ears.
In the end, she couldn't hold back anymore.
"Lu Zhaoye, wait a moment."
"......call,"
Lu Zhaoye let out a deep breath, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and touched his wildly beating heart.
"I'm still here."
Hearing the voice calmed Xu Ziqing down considerably, and then she choked up as she spoke.
"Take me with you, don't leave me behind."
"......"
