Chapter Fifteen

  The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the students' clothes are getting less and less. Some girls have already changed into short-sleeved long skirts to show off their proud figures. Of course, there are also some girls who are more reserved and even think that having big breasts is a shame, so they always wear conservative loose T-shirts and sports pants.

  Ji Xiaowen likes to wear shirts, white shirts. The shirt issued by the school can no longer be worn, Ji Xiaowen grew taller and her chest became bigger after a semester, so she threw away the school uniform shirt at home and bought a similar white shirt from the street to replace it.

  The blouse is neither too big nor too small, it fits snugly on her body and has a feminine charm. She wears a school uniform jacket over it when going to school, but takes it off after morning exercises. Her pants are jeans because she washed her school pants.

  After taking off her coat, Ji Xiaowan had a refreshing and neat feeling, especially in the past few days, Ji Xiaowan's body was subtly emitting a womanly scent, and when she walked, a faint fragrance wafted from her body.

  She is two years younger than her classmates, but she looks quite mature in appearance. As long as she doesn't say anything, people generally won't notice that she's a skip-grade student.

  Skip-level students were originally rare, and it was not necessarily possible to see one in the entire school for many years. Ji Xiaowan's identity in the class was relatively prominent, and now she is growing rapidly every day. These changes are visible to her classmates.

  Ji Xiaowan herself didn't know that there were many boys in the class who had a crush on her, and some of them even openly discussed her when they went to the bathroom. Moreover, the boys who had a crush on her also included several from other classes and grades.

  That day, when Ji Xiaowan went to school, she found a card in her desk. She picked it up and thought the card was quite exquisite, with "Ji Xiaowan's personal letter" written on the cover. Ji Xiaowan didn't know who sent it, so she put down her bag, tidied up her books, sat properly at her seat, and was just about to open the card to see its contents.

  After opening the card, Ji Xiaowan had only read the beginning when it was suddenly snatched away.

  The person who took her card is Taili.

  Tai Li took the card back to her seat and handed it over to Luo Mei Yue.

  After Luo Mei Yue opened the card, she read it out loud, "My dear classmate Ji Xiao Wan, I am your most admiring admirer. I sincerely want to be friends with you and talk to you, but every time I walk in front of you, I always can't muster up the courage. Please forgive my cowardice and pardon my timidity, but I have been silently admiring you all along..."

  Lu Mei Yue read the card for a full five minutes, intentionally reading each word very loudly and carefully.

  It was almost time for morning study, and many classmates had already arrived one after another. Only two or three were absent. In other words, almost the entire class knew that someone had given a love letter to Ji Xiaowan, and its contents had been read aloud.

  If it were an ordinary girl, being read a love letter written to her would definitely make her feel both shy and angry, but Ji Xiaowan didn't show any emotional fluctuations, she just gave Luo Meiyue a disgusted look.

  The class was filled with stifled giggles, and some people were giving Ji Xiaowan ambiguous glances. Ji Xiaowan didn't pay much attention to them, putting on her MP3 player and reading from her textbook.

  Lu Mei Yue saw that she was being ignored, her smile dropped by two points. Then she got up and walked to Ji Xiao Wan's side, took off her headphones and said, "Xiao Wan, why don't you guess who sent you the love letter?"

  Lu Mei Yue said, and everyone in the class perked up their curious ears, ready to hear her report the answer.

  Lu Mei Yue snatched away her earpiece. Ji Xiao Wan looked up at her and said, "Give people some face, don't do those shameless things."

  Lu Mei Yue raised her head and gave her a "I won't" smile, then she shouted out a name, "Li Qian!"

  "Li Qian?" The crowd exclaimed in unison, casting their gaze towards Li Qian.

  Li Qian buried his head in his arm from the moment Luo Mei Yue read out the love letter, and didn't lift it until Luo Mei Yue said her own name, at which point he suddenly turned bright red, even his ears were burning. Everyone turned around to look, but all they could see was his bright red ears. Li Qian stood up in shame and anger, kicked the table and chairs fiercely, then ran away furiously.

  Li Qian is a sports committee member, but his academic performance isn't great, at most it's average. In the first half of the semester, he ranked 24th in the class. However, his physical education grades are exceptionally good. Li Qian is quite tall and has well-developed athletic ability, but his face is full of acne and scars, often causing people to tease him and call him "Li Er Ma Zi".

  Li Qianren is relatively introverted, but his personality is more violent. In the class, he and Ji Xiaowan are similar, not liking to make trouble or get angry, so he took a fancy to Ji Xiaowan at first sight. Almost from the beginning of the semester, he quietly paid attention to her. Today, for some reason, he sent out the love letter that he had written for a long time. Moreover, he did not expect that his love letter would be read aloud by someone.

  Li Qianxiu ran out of the classroom in embarrassment and skipped class for the entire afternoon.

  Ji Xiaowan didn't show much expression, but she also endured a whole morning of gossip, and the matter was blown up big time, spreading to neighboring classes, even reaching the second and third years.

  When the fourth class was about to end, the head teacher called Ji Xiaowen into the office and gave her a long lecture, which was nothing more than telling her to study hard and not fall in love early. The head teacher knew that Ji Xiaowen was not the one who caused this matter, so she had a relatively gentle attitude towards her and did not blame her too much. At this moment, Li Qian was still standing there, but the head teacher did not scold Ji Xiaowen, but he was very strict with Li Qian and even asked Li Qian to call his parents over.

  At noon, Li Qian's parents came over. After listening to the class teacher's words, they beat Li Qian up. When they were beating him, Ji Xiaowen was just called over by the class teacher and happened to see Li Qian being beaten.

  Ji Xiaowan saw this domestic violence and felt a shadow in her heart, which reminded her of those days in the past. Although Ji Xiaowan understood that Li Qian's father was beating him for his own good, she still felt uncomfortable in her heart.

  If that love letter hadn't been snatched away by Luo Mei Yue, Li Qian's matter wouldn't have blown up so big. Ji Xiao Wan would have at most chosen a time to return the card to him and told him clearly about her intentions, then this matter would have ended there, no need to disturb Li Qian's parents, and Li Qian also wouldn't have been beaten. But Luo Mei Yue didn't give her the chance, nor did she leave any face for Li Qian.

  Ji Xiaowan knew that Luo Mei Yue was doing this to target her, but it ended up implicating Li Qian who got brutally beaten by his father.

  Ji Xiaowan saw Li Qian being beaten and felt even more disgusted with Luo Mei Yue.

  Li Qian's mother saw Ji Xiaowan coming over and asked the class teacher a sentence, what Ji Xiaowan didn't hear, she saw the class teacher nodding, then Li Qian's mother took her to the corner to talk.

  Li Qian's mother looked at Ji Xiaowan with a sharp gaze for a few moments, then said, "You're Classmate Ji Xiaowan, right?"

  "Yes."

  "We, Li Qian's parents, are simple-minded. He is at the age of rebellion now, although he is in high school, his grades are not good. I don't want him to be disturbed by outsiders and affect his academic performance."

  Li Qian's mother meant that it was Ji Xiaowan who had been harassing Li Qian, not the other way around.

  To put it bluntly, Li Qian's mother thought that Ji Xiaowan had seduced Li Qian and made him do such a foolish thing as to send love letters.

  "Rest assured, Auntie," said Ji Xiaowan, "I won't bother him."

  "That's good. Ji Xiaowan, you also saw that Xiao Qian was beaten by his father and got a lesson. Don't worry, our Xiao Qian has parental education, unlike those wild kids without parents who are easily led astray."

  Li Qian's mother's words made Ji Xiaowan feel a dull pain in her heart. She knew that Li Qian's mother had said this on purpose, because everyone at school knew she was from a single-parent family. If Li Qian's mother had asked other classmates, she would have known the truth about her. By saying this, Li Qian's mother was actually scolding her for being an uneducated and uncultured child without a father or mother.

  Ji Xiaowan's small hands clenched and relaxed, relaxed and clenched again. She felt her fingernails digging into her palms with a sharp pain, forgetting the deep wound that had cracked open in her heart.

  Ji Xiaowan didn't cry, because she hadn't done anything wrong. Li Qian's mother just needed to vent her anger on someone and find an excuse to clear her son's name, so she picked on her.

  After that, Li Qian's mother said a lot of sharp words, and Ji Xiaowen was dazed and didn't hear much. After Li Qian's parents left, the positions in the class changed slightly.

  Ji Xiaowan's seat was moved forward one row, Li Qian's seat was moved to the last row. When people in the class saw them move their seats, they all smiled secretly. The ones who smiled the brightest were none other than the two culprits, Luo Mei Yue and Tai Li.

  Lu Mei Yue wanted to see Ji Xiao Wan cry, but she didn't get her wish. Ji Xiao Wan didn't cry, even when she was being slandered by Li Qian's mother.

  This made Luo Mei Yue very unhappy.

  After the evening school bell rang, Luo Mei Yue suddenly hid in the classroom and cried. Ji Xiao Wan was packing her bag when she saw Luo Mei Yue crying, and frowned several times.

  Originally, Yi Ling and Ye Haiwei were at the door waiting for Luo Mei Yue to come out, but they saw that Luo Mei Yue hadn't come out yet and was still hiding in the classroom crying. They walked into the classroom and surrounded her on both sides.

  Ye Hai asked, "Little Qi, why are you crying? Who made you cry?"

  Ye Hai asked, and Luo Mei Yue cried even more sorrowfully.

  Tai Li handed her a tissue and kept comforting her, telling her not to cry, looking like she was Ruo Mei Yue's own sister.

  Lu Mei Yue sobbed, "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have snatched Xiao Wan's love letter and read it out loud. I just wanted to play matchmaker for her and Li Qian. Li Qian is a shy and honest person, so I helped them out by giving them a little push. I didn't think things would blow up like this and get her scolded by the teacher. Xiao Wan hasn't spoken to me all day, and even when I apologized, she still won't talk to me! I don't know what to do..."

  Lu Mei Yue said, then cried even louder.

  Yi Ling heard that and rubbed her head, saying, "It's just a small matter! Xiao Wan won't mind it! Don't cry, little one! If you cry, you'll become ugly, and if you're ugly, you can't be Yi Gege's wife in the future!"

  Yi Ling said so, Luo Mei Yue indeed stopped crying, but still couldn't stop sniffling.

  Ji Xiaowan hastened her pace in packing up her bag as soon as she heard Luo Mei Yue say that. Normally, she treasured her textbooks and wouldn't casually toss them around; they were always neatly arranged, looking brand new even after a semester of use. But today, she practically stuffed them into her bag, hastily zipping it shut before rushing towards the back door.

  Ye Haiwei left her side and saw that Ji Xiaowan wanted to slip away, so he took a step ahead of her and blocked her way.

  Ji Xiaowan saw Ye Haiwei blocking her way and turned around to walk towards the front door without saying a word.

  Yi Ling sat on the inside of Luo Mei Yue, Yi Ling saw Ji Xiao Wan turn her head, and directly stepped over from Luo Mei Yue's table to appear in front of Ji Xiao Wan, blocking her path.
