Chapter 47: Canon

He Rou was completely confused, having no idea why she had to suffer this undeserved calamity.

But from her words, it could be inferred.

It was because of Luo Yun.

This person liked Luo Yun, and also really liked Luo Yun’s strange hobbies.

He Rou never thought that someone like this actually existed in the world.

“Wait… wait a moment.”

He Rou struggled with all her might to explain properly before she passed out.

After all, she still had to study here for half a year.

If this woman came to bother her every day, that wouldn’t be good.

“No explanation will work. You… you really know how to use your own body better than I do.”

Ling Jie shouted loudly.

The entire bathroom was filled with the argument between her and He Rou.

But He Rou was completely at a disadvantage.

She had no chance to defend herself at all.

He Rou also realized that this person, unable to get Luo Yun’s love, was purely taking her anger out on He Rou.

Seeing that Luo Yun wasn’t by her side, she wanted to bully her?

She was furious.

How could just anyone come and push her around like this?

Why should she accept it?

Although He Rou’s head was dizzy and painful from the beating, the anger in her heart rose to an extreme level.

She thought, if she couldn’t fight Luo Yun, she still wanted to try fighting these random people who came to cause her trouble.

So, her arm, which had been purely defensive the whole time, suddenly shot up from a place Ling Jie wasn’t watching, grabbed her hair, and pulled it back hard.

At the same time, she exerted force with both legs.

Since she was sitting on the toilet, using her legs didn’t require worrying about balance.

“Your mother!”

Ling Jie was startled by the sudden attack.

Her body didn’t react in time.

Her hand, which had held the advantage and was still gripping He Rou’s hair, let go due to the massive inertia, and her body fell backward.

Seeing this, He Rou immediately pushed hard with her feet to kick her out, trying to create a gap at the door of the small toilet stall.

She hadn’t expected that her frequently injured legs would still have this much strength, even though her knees hurt a lot more after kicking.

The bathroom floor, though regularly cleaned, was still considered very dirty in the students’ minds.

So Ling Jie, who had fallen to the ground, stood up instantly due to her cleanliness obsession.

And He Rou, who had just gotten off the toilet and planned to slip out through the small gap, was blocked again.

This time, the lackeys behind Ling Jie, seeing what had just happened, all surrounded her.

“Fuck your mom!”

She shouted loudly, looking very angry… no, not looking, she was very angry.

In her memory, she had never been treated like this.

Just as she reached out to teach He Rou a proper lesson…

ding ding ding—

The bell for class rang.

Originally, they didn’t care about something like an ambient light, but Ling Jie suddenly thought of a very good idea.

Besides, Luo Yun had told her not to go too far.

If it was just pure beating, that was too low-class.

“Xiao Yuan, get the bucket of dirty water from the sink.”

As she spoke, her hand was still pressing down hard on He Rou.

He Rou, hearing her, roughly understood what was about to happen to her.

To prevent that from happening, He Rou struggled with all her might.

Ling Jie never expected that this small-framed girl, who usually looked like a defenseless kitten, would be as hard to handle as a madwoman now.

“Don’t you fucking move!”

But no matter how He Rou struggled, her body size was what it was.

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t break free.

Seeing that the person behind Ling Jie had already carried the bucket of dirty water in, He Rou simply opened her mouth and bit down hard on the arm holding her.

“Shit, you dare bite me!”

He Rou refused to let go.

Feeling the intense pain, Ling Jie no longer cared about Luo Yun’s “don’t go too far.”

Her other hand released He Rou’s shoulder and immediately started pounding on He Rou’s head, hoping this mad dog-like creature would let go.

“Ugh!”

The heavy blows to her head made He Rou’s vision blur, but her mouth stayed clamped on Ling Jie’s arm, refusing to let go.

At this moment, tears streamed down her face as she was being bitten.

Ling Jie didn’t know if she needed a rabies shot, and she also didn’t know why this mad dog-like thing had been taken care of by Luo Yun in the past.

Did Luo Yun like someone this crazy?

But there was no time to think about that now.

The pain and dizziness in He Rou’s head had already drained her of all strength.

Her mouth, which had been biting Ling Jie’s arm, loosened.

Free from danger, Ling Jie quickly backed out of the toilet stall and grabbed a mop from nearby, using it to block the door.

He Rou, alone inside, hadn’t recovered from the blows to her head but immediately stood up and started pounding on the door.

bang bang bang—

‘It’s over…’

Perhaps realizing what was about to happen, He Rou sat down weakly on the toilet.

The bathroom looked very clean.

But it didn’t provide any shelter from the impending dirty water.

She could only resign herself to sitting there, waiting helplessly…

splash—

The foul-smelling water cascaded over her head.

Although she had mentally prepared herself, when disaster actually struck, she couldn’t help but feel fear.

It was winter, and they were in the north.

He Rou sat on the toilet, hugging herself tightly, hoping to keep the warmth from escaping too quickly.

She didn’t know why she was being treated like this.

She hadn’t provoked anyone…

Luo Yun bullying her was something she deserved…

But was it right for them to bully her too…

Was the culprit Luo Yun?

If so… should she blame Luo Yun?

He Rou kept thinking, trying to sort out the disaster that kept falling on her.

How could she solve it herself… or change it?

…

She really didn’t know anything.

It seemed her birth had destined her to endure all of this.

The dirty water was very cold, and the bathroom windows were always open for ventilation.

A gust of cold wind passed by.

He Rou felt a sharp pain in her head, a freezing pain, along with the pain from the beating that woman had inflicted on her head.

‘If one day I really can’t take it anymore, should I choose to die pathetically, or… kill them all…’

He Rou didn’t know why this thought suddenly rang in her mind.

But she wasn’t surprised.

Her heart seemed to have been broken for a long time.

If possible, she really wanted to switch places with this voice that appeared out of nowhere.

Hoping it could help her.

He Rou really wanted help.
