Chapter 43 Bai Qingxia, you have me this time, don't be afraid [Seeking follow-up reading]
If you want to go to the toilet on the playground, the fastest option is to go to the first floor of the teaching building opposite.
However, the classrooms on the first floor of all teaching buildings are empty, so the toilets on the first floor basically serve people on the playground.
Lu Yuanqiu was a little confused about which teaching building Bai Qingxia went to on the first floor, so he chose the second-year teaching building which was the closest in vertical distance.
When he arrived at the restroom, Lu Yuanqiu saw a "Cleaning" warning sign standing on the ground at the door of the women's restroom.
This shouldn’t be the building… Lu Yuanqiu immediately returned the same way, but he hesitated after taking a step. To be safe, he turned around and shouted in the direction of the women’s restroom: “Bai Qingxia?!”
"Lu Yuanqiu!!"
Soon, a voice with a hint of crying came from the women's restroom.
Mudd!
Lu Yuanqiu frowned immediately and kicked the "Cleaning" sign at the door aside in anger. He instantly realized that someone had deliberately put the sign at the door.
And it was placed at the door "afterwards".
There is no need to guess, Bai Qingxia must be the only one in the women's restroom. The purpose of the warning sign is to prevent others from coming to the women's restroom and finding Bai Qingxia.
Lu Yuanqiu rushed into the bathroom and saw a row of tightly closed cubicles. Bai Qingxia's voice came from the very edge of the cubicle.
This cubicle is a little different. There is a lock sheath on the outside. Once the lock sheath is closed, the person inside cannot get out. Lu Yuanqiu knows that this is the broom room, and there is also one in the men's bathroom.
He immediately opened the lock sheath and then opened the door, only to see Bai Qingxia huddled in the corner of the compartment crying sadly. Her eyes were red and her hair was messy as if it had been pulled.
Lu Yuanqiu had never seen her so sad.
He looked the girl up and down, and didn't see any external injuries. He exhaled briefly, then calmed down and asked, "What happened? Are you hurt?"
Bai Qingxia shook her head: "...No."
But she was still crying so hard that Lu Yuanqiu couldn't help but think of the last time he celebrated her birthday.
But the situations were completely different each time.
All Lu Yuanqiu saw on Bai Qingxia's face at this moment was sadness and despair, which was very abnormal.
"Then you..." Lu Yuanqiu was about to ask, but his voice stopped abruptly. He saw the girl tremblingly stretched out her right hand, and in her white palm lay several severely twisted and deformed pieces of pink hairpin.
It was very dirty, as if it had been deliberately rolled over hard by the sole of a shoe.
Bai Qingxia bit her lip and spoke with tears in her eyes: "They broke it, the hairpin broke... the hairpin you gave me broke, I just tried to put it together... I couldn't put it together anymore, I tried for a long time but couldn't put it together anymore, Lu Yuanqiu, I can't put it together anymore..."
She choked up and repeated the words "I can't put it together anymore" while carefully touching the pink fragments in her palm with her fingertips.
The girl seemed to have lost the most precious and meaningful thing in her life, something that would never be regained once it was damaged.
No matter how stubborn or strong she was, she couldn't bear the collapse and despair at this moment.
Lu Yuanqiu didn't quite understand.
It’s just a hairpin, and it’s not expensive. Do you care so much about it?
But he still frowned and quickly grabbed her arm: "Let's go out first. It's not convenient here. Talk to me after we get out."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of girls talking at the door of the women's restroom. Lu Yuanqiu was startled, but he reacted quickly and hurried back to the cubicle and closed the door gently.
Then he turned around and said "hush" to Bai Qingxia.
Bai Qingxia is very dazzling today and everyone can recognize her. If the girls find her in the bathroom with a boy, I wonder what kind of news will spread.
Rumors are so scary. Instead of coming out to explain the situation to them, Lu Yuanqiu chose to avoid the risk directly. He would wait for this group of people to go to the toilet and leave before taking Bai Qingxia away.
Moreover, he knew that even if he explained to these girls that Bai Qingxia was bullied, the truth would not reach other people's ears in its original form.
This world is so complicated.
"The class uniform of class 26 is so revealing, legs are exposed, I don't know how they got past their class teacher."
"But the girls in their class are not that good."
"Did you see Senior Sister Bai Qingxia today? She's so beautiful!"
"I see! I see! What's strange to me is why I never heard of her before I was admitted to No. 7 Middle School?"
“Maybe it’s too low-key.”
Lu Yuanqiu frowned. These girls seemed to be chatting when they came in, not going to the bathroom at all.
What can’t we chat about?
"Hurry, hurry, someone is coming, put away the cigarettes!" A girl reminded him in a low voice, and Lu Yuanqiu suddenly understood.
The cleaning lady's voice came: "What's that smell?"
"I do not know."
"I don't know. It was there when I got here."
Lu Yuanqiu was startled when he heard the cleaning lady walking towards the broom room. He heard a shadow from under the gap of the door. Just when he thought the cleaning lady was going to open the door of the broom room, the lock sheath outside just made a "clang" sound.
“I remember I turned it off…”
The cleaning lady murmured as she left, then said to the girls, "You guys, don't do anything bad here before you go to the toilet."
“We didn’t do anything.”
"Yeah, nothing."
Several girls walked out of the restroom while muttering to themselves, and the cleaning lady's voice gradually faded away.
In the cubicle, Lu Yuanqiu froze in place.
He stared at the door of the cubicle in amazement, raised his hand, and gently pushed against it, but it wouldn't budge.
I put in some more effort, but it still happened.
Made.
People are stupid.
The auntie closed the scabbard from the outside? !
Damn it... Lu Yuanqiu pushed hard twice again, but still couldn't push it open.
The Goubamen did not move at all.
He had even thought of a foolproof explanation to the cleaning lady, but the outcome of the incident was completely beyond his expectations.
"That... the door seems to have been locked from the outside."
In the end, Lu Yuanqiu turned around and said to Bai Qingxia helplessly.
Bai Qingxia, who was standing in the corner, did not respond.
The girl didn't seem to care whether the door was locked or not. She just lowered her head and concentrated on piecing together the pieces in her palm, as if thinking that if she could piece them together well, she might be able to glue them together with 502.
Even if it can't be used normally, the hairpin is still there. As long as it's still there and intact, that's enough.
Lu Yuanqiu stared at it for a while and said, "It seems like there is a piece missing."
"I remember I finished picking up..." Bai Qingxia said, looking up with an extremely aggrieved tone, tears falling like pearls from a broken string, wetting the floor of the broom room one by one.
“Why is there one less…”
"I clearly saw where each piece fell..."
She spoke with a sob, her mouth pursed in grievance, and her arms and shoulders trembling.
Lu Yuanqiu had never seen so clearly the emotions of sadness and despair on Bai Qingxia's face.
This is the first time.
He couldn't help it, so he walked forward and gently closed the girl's palm, then he held the back of her head with one hand and her back with the other, and gently held her delicate body in his arms.
"It's okay, it's okay..."
"It's okay, it's okay..."
"If it breaks, I'll give you another one. One is not enough for two, two are not enough for three, and three are not enough for ten."
Lu Yuanqiu spoke as if he was comforting a child.
The girl let out a muffled cry, pouring out all her grievances. She immediately hugged Lu Yuanqiu tightly and buried her face in the boy's chest.
He felt a hot and wet feeling on his shirt, and his chest seemed to have been burned a hole by the girl's sadness.
He stroked her hair gently and said slowly: "Believe me, Bai Qingxia, you have me this time. With me here, everything will be different from before."
"Do you believe it?"
ps.
Give me some monthly tickets (cough cough)
