The School Grass Chapter: The Helpless Roommates

  She's as clever as Ye Xin, but on the way here, seeing Dan Lanluo's tense expression made her a bit suspicious. Even if it was the class monitor showing concern for his classmates, he didn't have to be so serious about it. This deskmate of hers couldn't even compare to him! After arriving here and seeing the intimate conversation between the two, it was clear that they were a couple. Good grief, dead deskmate, she had been kept in the dark all along, how unrighteous! At school, she saw Dan Lanluo being gentle with every girl, thinking that was his true nature, but unexpectedly, he showed another adorable side in front of Sha Shan, making her feel a little envious.

  "Let's go back to school for class first, you have someone to accompany you anyway." Ye Xin winked at me with a knowing glint in her eye and teased.

  "Huh? You're really just going to leave like that?"

  "Yes, we won't be a nuisance anymore." And with that, another boy walked out of the hospital room with him. When they reached the door, Ye Xin stopped in her tracks and turned around, "You're all wrapped up like this, why don't I call Uncle Sha to come pick you up and take you home? Or I can ask Dan Lan to escort you back safely."

  Lan Yu ran out for fifteen minutes and came back panting, holding a box of ice cream, saying that he had searched everywhere but couldn't find popsicles, only this boxed ice cream. I asked him to help me slowly walk out of the hospital, and at the public phone booth, I called my dad. Almost in no time, Dad drove over. I told Dad that this was my classmate, then said goodbye to Lan Yu.

  As I returned home, I saw two large trunks standing in the living room that were only used for long trips. My mom was carrying dishes out of the kitchen and upon seeing my appearance, she hastily put down the plates and asked me anxiously how I got hurt? I asked my mom what the two trunks in the living room were for? Was it Mom or Dad who was going on a trip?

  "It's your dad and mom going back home for a while. Your grandfather called this morning saying that your grandmother has been ill for several days and needs to have a small surgery tomorrow. So, I and your mom decided to take the evening flight back." My dad explained to me. Because of constant relocation, he and his parents had lived apart since early on, sometimes busy with work for a whole year without returning home once. This time, since they went, they might as well stay at home for a month or two, accompanying the elderly. Taking advantage of applying for leave, he could also accompany his wife to visit her parents.

  "We plan to stay until after the New Year, and you have less than a month before your final exams, so we won't take you with us today. When you're on winter break, Mom will help you book a ticket and you can fly over then. Originally, I discussed it with your father, and we thought of hiring a nanny to take care of you during this time. But, dear husband, look at Xiaosong, she's been hurt like this after just one morning at school, and I really don't feel safe leaving her alone at home. What should we do?"

  Then the familiar scene was played out in front of me again, Dad saw Mom's slightly red eyes and his heart ached, he hastily hugged her and gently comforted her, "Don't worry, wife, Xiaosong is a big kid now." And I'm already used to it.

  "Ah, okay, husband, let's send Xiao Shan to Yuan Yuan's place." Mom's straightforward personality made her smile and run into the room immediately, dialing Yuan Yuan's phone number. The two of them chatted intimately.

  Just as my dad and I exchanged a glance, thinking the same thing about mom's lack of sense of time and wondering when she would finally finish talking, mom hung up the phone and happily told me, "Later you pack your things, Aunt Yuan said she'll come pick you up in person this afternoon. I've thought it through, you can just stay at Aunt Yuan's house until the end of the semester, otherwise mom will still be worried about you even after arriving there."

  Since everything has been arranged, I can only nod obediently. Who made me a person with limited mobility now? Being stubborn is useless!

  I was really the center of attention today, and even Aunt Yuan was startled when she saw me. She treated me with such care as if I were a precious treasure. When I arrived at Aunt Yuan's house, Yicong hadn't returned from school yet. As soon as I thought of him, I remembered that annoying face he made last time, saying that my angry expression was hilarious, which really infuriated me!

  Although there were so many guest rooms, Aunt Yuan arranged for me to stay on the same floor as her son. Not only that, but it was also next door to Qī Gōng Liè's bedroom. I didn't know when Qī Gōng Liè had returned, and he knocked on my door while I was organizing my clothes. When I opened the door, I saw him leaning against the door frame with a sly smile on his handsome face, still wearing his school uniform.

  "Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect that after just a few days of not seeing you, you'd be in such a sorry state!"

  He and I are really born enemies. Seeing me like this, he actually sneered at me and made sarcastic remarks. I wonder if my bad luck today is because of his behind-the-scenes curse? "Chi Gong Lie, have you seen enough?"

  "I'm really curious what unfortunate event you encountered, to end up like this?" He pointed at my left shoulder and looked down at my bandaged foot again, smiling at me.

  "It's none of your business." You look at him, he's just gloating. I turned around and continued to tidy up my things, too lazy to bother with him.

  "My mom asked me to come up and call you to go down and eat together." After finishing speaking, she left first.

  Won't you come and help me up? I stared at his back with all my might, thinking furiously. Not a shred of gentlemanly demeanor! After closing the door, I could only lean against the wall and hobble forward. Chi Guanlie, who had already reached the stairs, suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at me.

  "Die slowly!" He walked back to me, roughly swept me up in his arms and headed towards the dining hall.

  "Ah!" I exclaimed, struggling to get down. What's with him holding me like this? I don't want some boy casually hugging me! The several passing servants saw us and all covered their mouths in laughter before quickly bowing their heads and continuing on their way.

  "You're so heavy! I didn't think you'd be this big. If my arms get tired and I accidentally drop you on the ground, don't blame me."

  "I'm only 78 pounds, how can I be as heavy as you said? I can walk by myself, hurry up and put me down." My height and weight are even considered standard by my mom.

  "Xiao Shan, come and eat quickly." Yuan Ayi was already seated in the dining hall. Seeing her own son carrying me in, she just smiled and pretended not to notice, inviting me to sit down. Then she had the servant bring up all the dishes.

  "You wait a bit and give me your class teacher's phone number, Auntie will help you ask for leave. Tomorrow is Friday anyway, just stay home this week to recover from your injury."

  "Ah." I nodded.

  At night, I was in the house watching TV when Aunt Yuan came in and said that Wang Lie is playing games alone, why don't you go over. You can treat this place as your own home, Auntie really likes you from the heart, if Wang Lie bullies you, I'll help you teach him a lesson. However, looking at today's situation, no one knows their child better than their mother, Wang Lie must have feelings for Xiao Shan, he just doesn't know it himself yet. In the past when his dad took him to social events, those friends' daughters and sons wanted to talk to him, but he would ignore them.

  Over the weekend. I suddenly remembered that Lan Lu said he would send me class notes, and as for homework, Ye Xin must have also asked him to bring it to me together. But now I don't live at home, even if Lan Lu calls me, no one will answer. Thinking of this, I picked up the phone and dialed his home number.

  After slowly putting on my clothes one by one, I was almost drenched in sweat. As I struggled to go downstairs, the maid who came out to clean the room supported me. I asked her, "Is Aunt Yuan around? Would you please help me tell her that my classmate wants to give me homework, and I'll be right back?"

  The servant told me that the madam had gone out. The madam had instructed, if you have anything, let the young master accompany you. Then she asked another companion to wake up the young master who played late yesterday and was still lying in bed.

  When Chi Gong Lie woke up with a cold face, he was woken up from his sleep and his mood was naturally indescribably bad. His hands and feet were all wrapped up like this, but he didn't stay at home obediently, instead running around everywhere. The driver sent us to the location where I and Shan Lan Yu had agreed upon, and Chi Gong Lie leaned against the back of the chair and fell asleep again. What's the point of accompanying me? It's basically no different from coming alone, and he even pressed down on my hair.

  I struggled to push Tie Gong Lie's shoulder to the other side, trying to save my poor hair. As a result, while pulling back my hair, I also pulled him awake. "Little guy, what are you doing?"

  Lazy and irritable people talk, I've never seen a boy with such a bad temper. I opened the car door by myself, and Lan Lu was already standing there waiting for me. After handing over the class notes and homework that had fallen in the past two days, Lan Lu asked if my injured place still hurt and other things, and also returned a scarf that I had left at his place a few days ago.

  As we were talking, Chi Palace Law impatiently pressed the glass window and urged me to hurry up. "Who's that?" Dan Blue Law asked curiously. "I'm my aunt's son, I live in his house now, super young master temperament." Let Blue Law ride back first, and I'll carry a big stack of books back to the car.

  "Taking so long to get some materials, aren't you cold standing outside in this freezing weather?" Chi Gong shouted at me. I was puzzled, wasn't it me who was enduring the biting wind, while he was comfortably sitting in his air-conditioned car?

  After a while, I seemed to hear the late palace crack asking something, and when I wanted to listen clearly, I leaned over and asked what it was. Only to see him with an awkward expression, speaking in a bad tone: "Why did you let that thin boy send homework for you?" In fact, he originally wanted to ask who that boy was, earlier he saw Sha Shan and him talking intimately from the car.

  What, how dare you! He actually said that my classmate is not good enough? I got angry and slammed the book in front of him, "Don't be allowed to say that about my classmate."

  "What I said is true."

  "You, you're the bamboo pole!" Nothing is as tall as you.

  "Ahh, boys should grow up to be like me, that's how it should be."

  "Don't forget you're two years older than us, what kind of man bullies younger ones?"

  "And don't forget that the engagement ring is still on her hand, if this were ancient times, your behavior would be called 'red apricot comes out of the wall'." The boy angrily shouted at me.

  "You're crazy, what you said doesn't count, that's just what grown-ups want to hear, I never said I was willing." I was so angry that I even cursed, he was too much, how could he say something like that to me.

  "Haha, gotcha! I'm not going to be tied down with a little kid like you." Seeing that I was really scared, he burst out laughing. Actually, what he said earlier was just nonsense. To be honest, he never took the idea of arranged marriage seriously, as his mom had mentioned before. Besides, why would they force him to get married? He's just a high school student, after all.

  "I don't want to talk to you." I put the book in between us as a partition, and stuck my face against one side of the glass, quietly looking outside.

  Uncle Wang, who was driving, couldn't help but laugh at the two children bickering. His young master had a stubborn temper since he was a child, but unexpectedly, this quiet and gentle-looking little girl had an even stronger personality, and when she got angry, it wasn't small either! It seems that the young master has met his match this time.
