The old iron door was closed, and a breeze blew.
Patches of green swayed and blended in Xu Shiyue's sight, and she just stared at the green plant where a young girl was squatting.
A few days ago, Luo Ji sneaked into the Lu family and found the right opportunity to tell her that she was working as a gardener in the Lu family garden.
Xu Shiyue felt the bumps on the note and couldn't believe it. She took the opportunity of taking care of the roses in the early morning to make an appointment with Luo Ji.
However, they had just met and hadn't said a word when the door was cautiously pushed open again.
The person who came in was none other than Lu Shizhen, the person who never got up early in Xu Shiyue's impression.
The two were worrying whether this was an ambush set by Lu Shizhen, but they saw that Miss Lu was actually turning over the soil of a plant herself.
Because she had lost her vision, Xu Shiyue could hear the girl's whispered words more clearly than Luo Ji, and she also understood this person's neurotic mumbling better than she did.
This plant, which was personally taken care of by Lu Shizhen, was quietly moved away from her room, or in other words, it was replaced by someone else.
The ultimate goal was actually just to make her believe that the medicine this person gave her was non-toxic and she could receive the treatment with peace of mind.
No one can understand the train of thought of a madman, but Xu Shiyue has no way to convince himself to continue to explain Lu Shizhen's series of behaviors with his mood swings.
She could regard the two punishments she gave to the servant who spoke rudely to her as this person continuing to act friendly in front of her.
But she couldn't come up with an answer based on her past experience when she muttered to herself.
A slight frown appeared between the girl's calm brows. She really didn't understand why this person went to so much trouble.
If Lu Shizhen really wanted herself to receive treatment, she could have followed her second uncle's example and tied herself up after finding out that she refused treatment, and have someone watch her take injections and medication every day.
Thinking of this, a trace of contempt and sneer flashed across Xu Shiyue's brows.
The drooping wrist moved subconsciously, and the circulating air in the greenhouse passed by the raised wrist, gently suppressing the slight chill, just like when he held her hand with extra discretion in the bathroom that night.
The withered green plants stood out against the vibrant surroundings, and the heavy pressure made Xu Shiyue's gaze pause for a moment.
She just stared at the plant not far away, and her calm and indifferent eyes were gradually filled with a layer of unclear emotion.
This was the first time since she became blind that someone was willing to respect her wishes and try to comfort her.
But this person is Lu Shizhen.
"Miss, I have been looking for you since the mission failed. This madman was so perfect. We spent a lot of time and kept you waiting for a long time. It was really our poor planning. I am really sorry."
Luo Ji's voice interrupted Xu Shiyue's thoughts. She came back to her senses quietly, shook her head gently, and said comfortingly: "I still got out of that place. Our goal has been achieved. There is nothing to apologize for."
The reason why Xu Shiyue was coaxed here by Lu Shizhen was because something went wrong when Luo Ji planned to take her away from the ward.
Xu Shiyue walked out of the hospital alone without waiting for anyone to pick her up. It was unclear whether it was unfortunate or fortunate that the person sitting in the car that almost hit her was Lu Shizhen.
Despite Xu Shiyue's words, Luo Ji's face was still full of guilt.
She just looked at Xu Shiyue, whom she finally met again, with her dark little face wrinkled tightly, full of concern: "Miss, how are you doing recently? Has this lunatic made things difficult for you? Have you been bullied?"
I didn't have a good life and was troubled and bullied.
But as the real answer gathered in his throat, Xu Shiyue hesitated but did not say it out loud.
It’s okay to say for sure, Lu Shizhen has installed handrails almost everywhere in the house, so Xu Shiyue can reach them by reaching out his hand no matter where he stands.
The most recent trouble she had been in was a few days ago, when she was asked to pick roses, and since then, she had been the one who supported her in all the bullying she had suffered.
If her fickle personality meant that she would be sometimes good and sometimes bad, then she has been showing her good side for too long.
Perhaps wanting to reassure Luo Ji, Xu Shiyue gently shook her head: "No, I'm fine."
"But I see that you have lost weight, young lady." Luo Ji frowned, and besides feeling distressed, his tone was full of anger, "This is really not a good place to stay. I have been with you for so many years, and I have never seen anyone who insists on having roses bloom in autumn. We should stay away from such crazy people as soon as possible."
Luo Ji's words were full of disgust towards Lu Shizhen, but Xu Shiyue remained calm.
She did not continue the topic of "leaving", but asked: "They are all looking for me?"
"Yes, your eldest uncle and second uncle are looking for you everywhere." Luo Ji nodded, and then assured Xu Shiyue, "But we have destroyed all the things that could provide clues, including the clues we found you. I guess it will be more difficult for those people to find you here now."
"And, Miss..." Luo Ji answered promptly, but hesitated in the second half of the sentence.
She looked at Xu Shiyue, who was slightly shorter than her, and said in a difficult voice, "We found out that your second uncle Xu Shouxian was responsible for the incident at Miss's home."
Compared to the pain of being bullied and injured by the servants, Luo Ji's words were something Xu Shiyue could not bear.
There was a gas explosion at home, and his parents died unexpectedly. Xu Shiyue was not unaware of who the ultimate beneficiary was.
She was like a rose blooming in the garden on an autumn day. Fate and others were working together to manipulate her, but she was powerless to resist.
Thick clouds stopped above the greenhouse. Xu Shiyue's voice became deeper as the sunlight faded away: "Is there anything else in Dad's place that belongs to me?"
"Xu Shouxian's speed of embezzlement is very fast. He has become the actual controlling shareholder of many big names in real estate, shopping malls, etc. The only thing we have left is a small technology company that was established this year and is still worth mentioning." Luo Ji replied.
Although Xu Shiyue was not yet an adult, her father would tell her about some business matters when he was in a good mood, and she understood a lot through his influence.
The girl sneered and concluded in a bland voice: "So all he lacks is a legitimate reputation."
"Yes." Luo Ji nodded with difficulty, and then continued to comfort her: "But Miss, don't be discouraged. I have been helped by Mr. for so many years. I will never let Mr. and his wife die with regrets, and I will never let the family business that Mr. has worked so hard to develop be occupied by villains. Even if I risk my life, I will definitely help Miss get revenge!"
Luo Ji's voice was exceptionally firm and resolute, but the expression on Xu Shiyue's face was not as calm as before.
The sunlight passed through the clouds and left a gap. An imperceptible rejection was written on the girl's face.
Another life.
She didn't like hearing that word.
With nothing in my hands, living seems like a burden.
Not to mention revenge.
In silence, Xu Shiyue said calmly: "Don't worry."
Like a charcoal falling into cold water, her face was full of confusion: "Miss..."
But Xu Shiyue didn't give her a chance to continue, and turned around to interrupt, "Assistant Luo, I can't be out for too long, I'll go back first."
The wind slowly pushed the clouds farther and farther away from the greenhouse, and the sunlight rose again from Luo Ji's sight like a curtain.
The girl's light purple cotton skirt swayed in the surrounding greenery, and her cautious steps made the skirt pass through the green leaves very slowly.
Luo Ji just looked at Xu Shiyue's back as she left, opened his mouth, but didn't have the heart to continue talking to her.
She thought that it was too cruel to let a child who was not even eighteen years old accept and bear all this.
But the perpetrator is still at large, and sooner or later she will have to take responsibility.
.
The relaxing and comfortable days always pass by like a flash. The National Day holiday was over in the blink of an eye, and Lu Shizhen also welcomed her campus life in this world.
"Can you hear me?" Lu Shizhen sat in her seat in the class and tapped the earphones hidden under her long hair twice.
Morning classes are always noisy, even the Noble Girls' High School is no exception.
People who gathered in twos or threes were either copying homework or sharing travel photos from the National Day holiday.
And in the midst of this noise, Lu Shizhen heard a cold response: "Yeah."
It was Xu Shiyue's voice.
Although Xu Shiyue took a leave of absence at the beginning of this semester due to blindness, Lu Shizhen saw the purchase record of Braille teaching materials in the original owner's orange software and knew that Xu Shiyue not only taught himself Braille but also did not want to fall behind in courses, so he made a request to the hypocritical original owner.
Adhering to the principle of doing everything for the heroine, Lu Shizhen mobilized his own money ability.
She asked Aunt Sun to get the best radio and communication equipment available, so that she could secretly synchronize the class content with Xu Shiyue.
Maybe it's because I've been doing good deeds every day these days, the frequent deductions from the system have become much slower.
Xu Shiyue also accepted his proposal.
The sunlight fell on Lu Shizhen's desk from the window on the side, and her naturally raised legs swayed.
She just stared at the mini radio behind the book, a sense of accomplishment and pride emerging on her face.
The deduction of points has become slower, so how long will the addition of points last
Just as Lu Shizhen was happily imagining the scene of herself getting extra points, there was suddenly a commotion at the door.
As if something precious was being brought in, the girl arrogantly ordered: "Be careful, you can't afford to pay if you break it!"
The girl sitting in the back row was curious: "Chenchen, did you bring that expensive cello from home?"
"Yeah." The girl nodded her chin, her head held high. "I'm the principal now, so of course I have to use a piano like this."
"Wow… "
"I heard that this piano was specially flown in from Italy by Chenchen's father. There are only five of them in the world."
"A piano this good would cost seven figures, right?"
Such a grand entrance easily attracted the attention and discussion of the whole class. The girls raised the corners of their lips and particularly enjoyed the flattery at the moment.
Lu Shizhen held her chin up and looked at the familiar-looking violin case. She couldn't help but narrow her eyes and asked in her mind, "Who is she?"
Xiaoqiu reacted very quickly and checked the information of a classmate from Lu Shizhen's class. He said, "Sun Chenchen, his family runs an equipment business. He has made a fortune in the past two years. Like Xu Shiyue, he is a member of the school symphony orchestra and also plays the cello."
"Oh." Lu Shizhen nodded, and instantly understood why this person brought the cello to the classroom in such a grand manner.
She was not interested in this kind of thing in the first place, and would not flatter anyone, so she withdrew her gaze with disdain.
It was just that the blank exercise book had just been opened and not even a word had been written when a name that Lu Shizhen was very familiar with rang out amid the boasting at the door.
"Now that Xu Shiyue is gone, Chenchen, you become the chief?" a girl asked curiously.
Sun Chenchen asked this question in her heart. She laughed disdainfully and said, "Even if she were here, I should be the first place player too! She only started practicing piano in elementary school, but I started when I was three years old. My talent and experience are much higher than hers."
"Looking at her usual false and noble appearance, is she afraid that she won't be able to handle the situation at school, so she just decided to take a leave of absence?"
However, before Sun Chenchen could get the approval of the people around him, they sneered: "You started learning piano at the age of three, how come you were suppressed by someone who started learning piano in elementary school for two years?"
Lu Shizhen was still sitting in her chair, her arm raised to support her slightly tilted head.
The soft black hair cascaded down from the side of her face, giving off a rich, dark and cold feeling in the sunlight.
When people realized who was talking, the class, which had been lively a moment ago, suddenly became quiet.
Sun Chenchen failed to show off and was choked. He immediately shouted, "Lu Shizhen, you can't even hold a bow, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Xu Shiyue is just not good enough. Her fingering technique is not good, and her bow holding gesture is not right. During the art festival rehearsal last semester, she played the wrong syllable several times!"
"Did she make a mistake during the official performance?" Lu Shizhen asked lightly, supporting her face.
"Then..." Sun Chenchen was immediately speechless after hearing what Lu Shizhen said. She said angrily, "She's just lucky! My teacher told me that she doesn't have any talent to begin with. She's just been forced to be popular."
"I don't know if her family has heard that if one's virtue is not worthy of the position, there will be disaster. It's what she deserves. All the good resources of the school are tilted towards her. She has occupied so many first place positions. Now it's just the result of her bad skills..."
Once the switch of evil is turned on, it will be out of control.
Sun Chenchen's words became more and more unpleasant to the ear. The venom caused by jealousy accumulated and passed through the headphones. It was as if a huge darkness was pouring towards Xu Shiyue who was thousands of miles away.
And at this moment, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
The sunlight in front of the window unkindly swallowed the girl into the white world, and the slight vibration of the earphones pressed against her ear bones.
It seemed as if someone was covering Xu Shiyue's ears.
It was as if a butterfly flew across her sight. In the silence, she heard the most familiar yet strange voice she had heard in recent days: "Don't listen to the nonsense of this idiot. You play the piano the best in the world!"
