Ning Shu suppressed her urge to laugh and tried to console Leng Ao. "It's a good thing you found out now. You're Prince Leng, from a noble family with good looks. Don't let a woman make you feel so… sad."
Inside, Ning Shu was thrilled as she watched Leng Ao kneel on the grass and punch it repeatedly.
She curled her lips in disdain. What was so tough about hitting grass? If you're really upset, go punch the concrete!
Leng Ao vented for a long time before lying on the grass, and Ning Shu sat beside him without saying anything.
She noticed that his eyelashes were damp. He must've really been hurt. Ling Xue clearly didn't know how lucky she was. She had such an outstanding and self-important boy who loved her sincerely, yet she trampled on his feelings like it was nothing.
"What are you staring at, woman?" Leng Ao got up and looked down at Ning Shu, his chin lifted arrogantly.
Ning Shu was speechless. Ignoring him, she picked up her books and headed towards the school doctor.
Leng Ao's expression grew uncomfortable, probably because she'd seen him in such an embarrassing state. When he looked at her, there was a fierce look in his eyes, like he wanted to silence her.
"Hey, woman, where are you going?" Leng Ao followed her. He felt awkward as she completely ignored him. On one hand, she had seen him at his most vulnerable, and on the other, she wasn't even trying to comfort him.
This woman was truly heartless.
"Hey, I'm talking to you," Leng Ao muttered under his breath.
Ning Shu: What's with this 'woman' thing? Is he trying to sound cool?
In Chinese novels where the male lead bullies the female lead, he often calls her 'woman.' wink wink
"Can you stop following me?" Ning Shu finally turned around to face him. "Why don't you go find your Ling Xue?"
"You... are you mocking me?" Leng Ao clenched his fist, his eyes bloodshot.
"Forget it. I don't hit women," he said, lowering his fist.
Doesn't hit women? Ning Shu chuckled coldly. Who was it that picked a fight with her every day?
Ning Shu walked into the nurse's office and saw the school doctor casually filing his nails in an almost seductive way. Her mouth twitched at the sight.
When Leng Ao followed her in and saw the doctor, he immediately bristled with hostility. He looked at Ning Shu and demanded, "Who is he?"
"Are you stupid? Can't you see he's wearing a white coat? He's the school doctor," Ning Shu sneered, not holding back at all.
"I'm asking what your relationship with him is. Tsk, tsk. Lin Jiajia, I never thought you'd be into older men," Leng Ao jeered, giving the doctor a once-over. The longer he looked, the more uncomfortable he felt. "He's just an old man."
Tch. Only old men have stability. Didn't Ling Xue also ignore you? She picked Mo Lengxuan, the "old man," over a brat like you.
The school doctor put down his nail file, adjusted his glasses, and looked at Leng Ao. "Your man?"
Before Ning Shu could even respond, Leng Ao jumped up like he'd been shocked. "How could I be her man? She's so ugly! Even if I went blind, I wouldn't fall for someone like her."
The doctor gave Leng Ao an indifferent look. That's the difference between a mature man and a childish boy.
Tsk. The doctor gave Leng Ao a brief glance, then turned to Ning Shu. "What do you want this time? I'm telling you, I've been in a bad mood lately. Don't bother me."
"I've got something to tell you. Be ready." Ning Shu could hardly wait to see the doctor's reaction when he found out about Ling Xue's little 3p adventure.
"What are you still standing here for?" The doctor shot a glance at Leng Ao, who huffed. "You think I want to be here?"
He shot Ning Shu one last glance before storming out. Once he left, Ning Shu leaned in close to the doctor's ear with a sly smile.
The doctor poked her forehead and pushed her away. "If you've got something to say, just say it. No need to get so close."
