Chapter 827: Not convinced? Kill him (47)
As soon as Tian Jie saw Zhong Fanle appear, his palm, which was originally pressed against the metal of the wheelchair, suddenly felt even colder, and even his knuckles tightened unconsciously.
Zhong Fanle was wearing the same school uniform, his eyes curved in just the right arc, with a gentle smile on his lips, but his gaze passed over Tian Jie and fell directly on Xing Rong who was in the wheelchair.
"Good morning." His voice was gentle, like a carefully polished jade, without any edges or corners.
Zhou Silin's smile became brighter and brighter, and her eyebrows almost raised to the sky, "Xiao Qi, Fanle will be in the same class with you from now on. This way I can feel more at ease, and there will be one more person to help me take care of you."
She deliberately ignored Xing Rong's slightly surprised expression. When she saw Tian Jie behind Xing Rong wearing the same school uniform, she asked Xing Rong curiously, "Xiao Qi, is he here to go to school too?"
Xing Rong nodded slightly, "Yes, Xiaotian also came to class today."
Tian Jie didn't mind Zhou Silin's perfunctory attitude towards him, his attention was always on Zhong Fanle.
His eyes met his briefly—there seemed to be invisible sparks flying in the air.
He looked up this person, but the information was superficial, as if someone had made preparations long ago.
Zhong Fanle's gaze lingered on Tian Jie's face for a moment. His smile did not diminish, but a subtle scrutiny flashed in his eyes, as if he was weighing whether he was an obstacle or not.
Tian Jie did not respond to that smile. His jawline was tense, his eyes were cold and sharp, like an unsheathed sword, silently standing between him and his sister.
The stare at each other lasted only two seconds, but it felt like a silent fight.
Zhou Silin nodded perfunctorily, "Oh~ Then Xiaoqi, you guys go slowly, I'll take him to the teacher's office to report first."
Zhong Fanle raised his eyebrows slightly at Tian Jie and smiled even more deeply, as if to say, "I have someone to help me, what can you do?", then he turned around calmly and left with Zhou Silin.
Tian Jie straightened his back and pressed his knuckles against the metal handrail until the cold touch penetrated into his bones, and he barely suppressed the surging, almost violent desire to protect.
Xing Rong seemed to have noticed something was wrong with him, and interrupted his thoughts with a clear, pleasant and gentle voice, "Xiaotian, don't take what happened just now to heart. Sister didn't mean to ignore you, she just doesn't know you very well."
The little Wei in the space trembled his paw, and the popcorn that had just reached his mouth fell to the ground with a "pop". Why did what Xiao Xingxing said sound a bit like green tea?
Tian Jie took a deep breath silently, and his voice became calm again, "I don't care."
He doesn't care about Zhou Silin's attitude. He only cares about her now.
Xing Rong nodded, "Then let's go quickly, don't forget that we also have to report."
……
The bell for class rang like a sharp sword, piercing through the noise in the corridors of every floor of the teaching building. Xu Muyue, who was hurrying in with her schoolbag, stopped at the back door of the classroom with a squeak.
She looked up in confusion, walked slowly to her seat, and saw her homeroom teacher on the podium leading the boy she had met at the charity dinner to introduce himself.
His name seems to be... Zhong Fanle?
Unexpectedly, he really transferred here. Xu Muyue subconsciously looked at Xue Xiaoqi's seat, it was empty.
She hasn't come yet?
The head teacher looked at Zhong Fanle with a smile and said in a kind tone: "Student Zhong, you can sit over there from now on." As he spoke, he pointed to an empty seat in the corner of the classroom. That seat originally belonged to Xing Rong.
However, before Zhong Fanle could respond, Xu Muyue, who was sitting in the front row, suddenly raised her hand. She looked at the head teacher with a puzzled look on her face and asked, "Teacher, isn't that the seat of the previous transfer student Xue Xiaoqi?"
