Chapter 2142 Return to the School
This time, even if Liu Mochen was unwilling, he didn't have the face to stop Shangguan Chu. He could only grit his teeth, stare at her back and spit.
"One day, I will make you bow your head."
He said this viciously, enduring the pain in his feet and limping away.
In the next few days, Liu Mochen did not cause any more trouble, and Shangguan Chu did not go out. The days passed one by one, and soon it was the day for an outing at the academy.
Shangguan Chu also recovered and returned to the school. As soon as he stepped into the yard, the noisy crowd around him suddenly quieted down.
Everyone looked at Shangguan Chu with surprise in their eyes, but they quickly reacted and walked forward one by one.
"Master Shangguan, are you feeling better?"
"There's nothing to do in school, why don't you stay at home and rest for a few days?"
"Take good care of yourself."
Everyone was very friendly and concerned about Shangguan Chu, which made Shangguan Chu slightly stunned and surprised. Why did everyone become so friendly now?
Just when Shangguan Chu wanted to ask for clarification, the teacher appeared outside the crowd. He coughed lightly and walked over quickly. The students immediately scattered and returned to their seats.
Shangguan Chu could only suppress the surprise in his heart and walked to his seat and sat down obediently.
At this time, the Master walked to the front of the crowd and announced loudly: "Today is the day for us to go to Huafeng Mountain for an outing and write poetry. Everyone should pack up their things."
"Every opportunity to go outing is rare. You must make all preparations and write the poems well. I will personally check them when you come back."
As he spoke, the teacher snorted coldly. His old face with a long beard was filled with an indescribable sense of majesty. He looked serious and glanced at everyone: "Those who can't write well in the future, go and copy the textbook three hundred times."
Hearing this, the students below immediately looked bitter and complained.
"Three hundred times, so many..."
"It's over, it's over. I always come in last in poetry. I'd better hurry up and copy the book first."
"I have to pack my things now. I won't have a chance to copy it for you."
"Shangguan Chu is here. Ask him about it and ask him to help you."
As soon as the name "Shangguan Chu" came out, the others immediately looked at her secretly, and almost instantly, Shangguan Chu understood something.
At first she was wondering why these young men were so friendly to her today. It turned out to be because of the poetry party. Shangguan Chu smiled gently and avoided those gazes.
The noise continued, and the teacher slammed the table and said in a serious tone: "Stop making noise."
"If you study hard and have some knowledge, you won't be so panicked." The teacher snorted and said calmly, "Pack up and leave in half an hour."
"Yes, Master."
Everyone calmed down, bowed and left. In order to avoid being punished by copying textbooks, this time, the students put in a lot of effort and checked their things carefully.
Not long after, everyone packed up and set off. Along the way, Shangguan Chudu and Xiao Jingheng walked together, but Xiao Jingheng was suddenly called away by the teacher.
"Brother Shangguan, I..." Xiao Jingheng looked at Shangguan Chu worriedly, then at Liu Mochen, worried that she would be bullied by Liu Mochen.
Shangguan Chu shook his head and smiled at him: "Brother Xiao, go quickly, don't keep the teacher waiting for too long, I can do it alone."
Hearing this, Xiao Jingheng hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and quickly ran to find the teacher. But as soon as he left, Liu Mochen immediately revealed a smug smile.
He winked at the others, and the group quickened their pace.
When Xiao Jingheng found the teacher, he was shocked to learn that the teacher did not call him. Realizing that this was Shangguan Chu's trick, Xiao Jingheng hurriedly chased after him.
He chased her all the way, and when he saw Shangguan Chu again, he saw her playing in the water barefoot by the stream.
"Brother Xiao, why are you here?"
In the sunshine, Shangguan Chu's little face was filled with a bright smile, her eyes were like stars, shining brightly, and her slender ankles gently pushed away the waves, so white that people could not take their eyes away.
Xiao Jingheng was so fascinated by what he saw that he almost fell off his horse. He quickly dismounted and walked forward quickly: "Liu Mochen didn't do anything to you, did he?"
“No.” Shangguan Chu shook his head and showed his arm, which had a thin scratch on it. “He wanted me to be alone, but I had already seen through his trap.”
"So I didn't fall for it. This was scratched accidentally."
Hearing this, Xiao Jingheng immediately breathed a sigh of relief, sat next to Shangguan Chu, and played in the water with her.
After she had enough fun, she packed up and put on her shoes, then they returned. But when they were halfway there, a few dark clouds suddenly floated in the sky.
Then there were flashes of lightning and thunder, and the horses were frightened and ran faster.
It was Xiao Jingheng who pulled the reins hard and slowly stabilized it: "Brother Shangguan, it is expected to rain heavily today, what should we do?"
"There's no place to shelter from the rain here. Hurry up and get there as soon as possible." Shangguan Chu shouted at the top of her voice. She sat in front of Xiao Jingheng and felt the wind blowing on her face.
His face was aching, and Shangguan Chu could only close his eyes and endure the wind and sand.
But no matter how fast the two of them ran, they were still not faster than the rainstorm. Accompanied by rumbling thunder, heavy rain poured down and hit the two of them in the face.
Xiao Jingheng felt the person in his arms tremble slightly, his eyes darkened, he took off his outer robe and draped it over Shangguan Chu, the rain flowed down his chin, and with a plop, dripped onto the back of Shangguan Chu's hand.
Feeling the coldness on the back of his hand, Shangguan Chu was slightly stunned and subconsciously reached out to wipe it.
The moment the warm little hand touched their cheeks, they were stunned for a moment and hurriedly avoided each other's gaze.
"Thank you for the cloak, Brother Xiao. Ahem, I'm afraid that the rain will blur your eyes and you won't be able to see the road clearly." Shangguan Chu explained awkwardly, not daring to look at him at all.
"It's okay, Brother Shangguan, hold on tight, the rain is heavy, I'm afraid it will be dangerous."
Xiao Jingheng tightened the reins and tried hard to control the horse in the heavy rain. The teenage boy's hands were red from the reins, but his eyes remained firm.
This time, Shangguan Chu did not move around and finally caught up with the main force in the heavy rain.
Xiao Jingheng's hands were almost exhausted as he helped Shangguan Chu get off the horse. After saying goodbye to her, he returned to his room, changed his clothes, and lay down to rest.
But in the middle of the night, Xiao Jingheng felt his head hurting more and more. He covered his head, got up from the bed, and wanted to pour a glass of water.
But his hands had no strength, and with a "clang", the cup fell to the ground and broke into several pieces.
"Xiao Jingheng, what's wrong with you?" Shangguan Chu's voice came from outside the door, and then the door of the room was pushed open. A ray of light shone into the room, allowing Shangguan Chu to see Xiao Jingheng's appearance clearly.
I saw that his face was red and his eyes were blurry, as if he was sick.
“Xiao Jingheng!”
She exclaimed, stepped forward immediately, and reached out to touch his forehead, only to feel a burning sensation. She was so scared that she quickly withdrew her hand.
