Chapter 16: Teacher, I really want to improve

Luo Xixue’s face gradually turned red.

She watched her own fingers fall off one by one…

Her palm slipped, losing strength.

Luo Xixue’s eyes widened, silver hair fluttering, her mind blank.

Did her gaze become dim, filled with despair?

The sounds around her faded away.

Is this what it feels like to die?

Would her sister be very sad if she knew?

Teacher, it seems I can’t keep living…

Shua!

A strong arm enlarged in Luo Xixue’s vision, grabbing her hand and holding on tightly.

With force, the two of them were pulled up together!

Luo Xixue:?!

Her vision blurred, then she fell into a warm embrace.

Luo Xixue looked up.

Ye Kui was looking at her with a helpless expression.

“Wait…Luo Xixue classmate, why are you out on the rooftop in the wind?”

“I already told you, it’s dangerous.”

“If I hadn’t happened to pass by, seen you, and reached out in time, you might have become Xixue-chan.”

Ye Kui looked at Luo Xixue dazedly and waved his hand in front of her.

“Luo Xixue classmate?”

The next second, Luo Xixue buried her head in Ye Kui’s chest, clutching his clothes tightly with both hands, so hard that her knuckles turned white.

“Teacher, I was saving someone. Am I amazing?”

“Mm, you are.”

“But Teacher, I was so scared just now. I was really scared of dying.”

“Being afraid is normal.”

“I feel like my heart wasn’t pure when saving someone…”

“It’s okay, judge actions, not hearts.”

“Luo Xixue classmate, you must remember, reaching out to help someone in desperation is commendable, but next time, Teacher hopes you can do it while ensuring your own safety.”

Only after a while did she let go, her silver eyelashes trembling, with a few droplets hanging on them.

Luo Xixue forced a light smile.

“Teacher, this is the thirteenth floor, you’re really fast.”

Ye Kui said irritably, “If someone in a wheelchair can get up here, what’s wrong with me being fast?”

“No, you should say, ‘Teacher, you arrived just in time.’”

Ye Kui: “Also, the wind really is strong here. Don’t come again next time.”

Luo Xixue burst out laughing.

At the same time, the short-haired girl who had fallen on the ground stood up, looking at Luo Xixue shyly, opening her mouth.

“Um, sister…”

She wanted to say something.

Luo Xixue raised her hand and slapped her twice, knocking her out.

Luo Xixue hid her reddened hand behind her back and looked at Ye Kui.

“Teacher, let’s go.”

“Don’t worry, Teacher, I already called the police.”

“I believe that after experiencing the feeling of almost dying, this girl won’t think about suicide again.”

Ye Kui was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile.

“Alright, Luo Xixue classmate.”

Ye Kui placed Luo Xixue onto the wheelchair and pushed her away.

There was a subtle sanctity on the wheelchair.

Ye Kui could tell, Luo Qiongyin had blessed the wheelchair.

No wonder it could climb thirteen floors.

“Luo Xixue classmate, remember to pay attention to your own safety when saving people in the future.”

“Got it, Teacher.”

The silver-haired girl sat quietly with her hands on her lap.

Her pupils shifted, and out of the corner of her eye, she looked at Ye Kui, noticing that his movements had stopped.

Luo Xixue:?

She noticed the corners of Ye Kui’s mouth twitching.

“Teacher, what’s wrong?”

Ye Kui took a cold breath.

“It’s nothing, just now a small bug bit my hand.”

“Huh? Teacher, where’s the bug?”

“I drove it away.”

“Teacher, take your hand out, let me see the wound. I’ll blow on it for you, it can relieve the pain a little.”

“…No need, thank you.”

In his pocket, Zina was very jealous.

Suddenly running up thirteen floors, turns out it was to save this girl…

Tentacles squirmed silently, envious slime silently corroding the fabric.

—

Downstairs, layers of onlookers surrounded the scene.

With a beep, the police car arrived swiftly, a group of police officers got out, some set up a barrier, others rushed upstairs.

Firefighters had already begun inflating the air cushions.

Ye Kui, meanwhile, carried the slender silver-haired girl on his shoulder, holding the wheelchair in one hand, and leapt, leaving from the second floor.

At this moment, listening to the police car sirens behind them, they had already walked some distance.

Luo Xixue pushed the wheelchair, secretly glancing at the black-clothed youth beside her.

Noticing her gaze, Ye Kui looked down.

“What is it? Luo Xixue classmate.”

Luo Xixue shook her head.

“It’s nothing, Teacher.”

“I was just thinking, my luck tonight is pretty good.”

A lot of people noticed her, but they were all watching the show.

Only Ye Kui climbed thirteen floors to save her from becoming a pile of flesh.

“Will Teacher come to class tomorrow?”

Ye Kui thought for a moment, nothing else to do, and nodded.

“Of course, how else would Teacher get paid if not teaching?”

“That’s too bad. I was planning to invite Teacher out to play tomorrow.”

Ye Kui became serious, “Luo Xixue classmate, are you serious about playing?”

“Of course I am.”

Hearing this, Luo Xixue smiled faintly, tucked a strand of silver hair behind her ear.

“Or did Teacher think something else?”

“Not allowed, Teacher. Be careful of your job.”

Ye Kui:……

Ye Kui lightly slapped her delicate shoulder, eyes narrowed, staring at Luo Xixue.

“I remember tomorrow is Thursday, class time.”

“Does Luo Xixue classmate want to skip class?”

Pink climbed onto Luo Xixue’s cheeks.

Under Ye Kui’s gaze, her lips trembled, muttering something indistinct.

“Teacher… going to school is really boring.”

Without Ye Kui there, the entire school, in Luo Xixue’s eyes, was meaningless.

Some looked at her with strange eyes; some would touch her wheelchair; some would suddenly push her from behind, maliciously wanting to see her scared expression…

Luo Xixue didn’t tell her sister Luo Qiongyin about these things, because of her awkward pride.

Luo Xixue felt it was truly boring.

Only Ye Kui never teased her, and would even reach out to her in danger.

Because of this, she wasn’t completely enveloped by malice and thrown into the abyss.

“Luo Xixue classmate, you’re a student. You should attend class.”

“Teacher, you don’t understand the pain of a failing student.”

“But I understand a Teacher’s duty!”

Ye Kui raised his voice.

No matter the job, Ye Kui would always do his best.

Since he became a Teacher, he had to do his job.

A student wants to skip class?

He would catch them directly!

“Then, Teacher… can you tutor me?”

Luo Xixue lifted her beautiful silver eyes, pure and flawless, lips pursed, looking at him hopefully.

“Of course, I’ll pay.”

Luo Xixue raised her hand in a swearing gesture, her small face tense.

“Teacher, is it okay?”

“I really want to improve!”

Ye Kui felt something was off, but couldn’t say what.

Was everything before this just to set up this line?

Probably not, this little girl didn’t look that clever.

Ye Kui smiled and nodded.

“Of course.”

Even though the clothes on Luo Xixue looked plain and unbranded, Ye Kui could tell the fabric was high quality, probably custom-made.

A Little Rich Lady.

Ye Kui had also guessed that Luo Xixue might have some relation to Luo Qiongyin.

Ye Kui had investigated.

Directly asked online, Luo Qiongyin said she didn’t have a younger sister.

Ye Kui was certain.

There are so many people surnamed Luo in the world, how could anyone randomly picked have a connection to the female lead?

Besides, the hair and eye color were clearly different from Luo Qiongyin’s brilliant gold.

Ye Kui: “As long as you pay.”

Luo Xixue’s smile was radiant.

She got excited and started coughing, her weak body trembling, eyes glistening.

“Of course, Teacher. I’m very rich.”

“Teacher, do you want a Little Rich Lady to support you?”

“No.”

“Ah, Teacher, your rejection was so blunt, it makes me a bit sad.”

“Enough.”

The two chatted as they walked, arriving at a crossroad.

Luo Xixue reached out to stop him.

“Alright, Teacher, you can leave me here. I’ll go the rest of the way myself.”

Ye Kui looked at her, as delicate as a little white flower, as if the night wind could blow her away.

“Are you sure you don’t need me to walk you to your door?”

“Don’t worry, Teacher. It’s a law-based society now, not so many thugs and hooligans.”

Luo Xixue waved her hand, tilting her head with a light smile.

“Goodbye, Teacher.”

After speaking, Luo Xixue pushed the wheelchair and gradually moved away.

She lowered her head, forcing her hands not to tremble.

Only after leaving Ye Kui’s side did she feel the stinging pain in her palms.

Luo Xixue glanced at it, red rust residue had pierced her skin.

It hurt a bit.

Suddenly, thunder rumbled in the sky.

Luo Xixue froze, instinctively looking up.

Dark clouds surged, pale lightning tearing through the night.

One drop after another of cold rain fell on her small face.

Quickly, the rain intensified, pounding on Luo Xixue, drenching her completely.

Her hair and clothes were soaked, water running down her calves and into her shoes.

Luo Xixue pouted, feeling depressed.

She had saved someone, done a good deed, yet the heavens suddenly poured rain, drenching her from head to toe.

Her luck wasn’t so good after all.

Luo Xixue continued to push the wheelchair.

Soaked with water, it became slippery, and for a moment she lost her grip, sliding off the wheelchair and falling to the ground.

Dirty water splashed, staining her skirt.

Her hair became dirty and gray with mud.

Luo Xixue looked up, muddy water running down her cheeks.

She glanced at her knee.

Her skirt was torn, but her knee wasn’t bleeding, though it burned with pain.

She gritted her teeth, supporting herself, trying to stand.

At that moment, a wide black umbrella floated above her head, shielding her from the rain.

Luo Xixue:!

She looked up to find Ye Kui standing beside her, reaching out his hand.

“Luo Xixue classmate, your luck doesn’t seem very good.”

Her palm was pierced by rust and hurt, but she didn’t want to cry.

Her skirt was torn, her knee burned, but she still didn’t want to cry.

Suddenly, an uncontrollable sense of grievance surged in Luo Xixue’s heart.

She wanted to cry.
