Chapter 24 Just a Hug

"Everyone should review Units 2 and 3 over the weekend, and copy the words at the end three times."

The teacher was at the podium, talking nonstop and assigning homework to the students.

"Ah~~" A wailing sound came from below the podium.

It was already the last class on Friday, and Xue Rui had survived a boring week.

During this period, he went to the Internet cafe twice, but each time he only surfed the Internet for a few hours, checked the current news and stock market, and looked up some information before returning to school. He had no plans to play all night.

When Qiu Mengze saw Xue Rui lying in the Internet cafe watching the news, he felt that Xue Rui had a problem with his brain. Without anyone to play with him, he suddenly felt that the game was not so interesting anymore.

Xue Rui was looking down at two pieces of homework papers, which were the "written explanations" that Lin Ruoxi had written according to his requirements.

Lin Ruoxi's handwriting is beautiful and neat, worthy of being the second best in the grade.

If you look closely, you can see a hint of firmness between the strokes, and some of the handwriting resembles a man's. The combination of the two makes it particularly delicate.

"It's such a pleasure to grade the homework of students like this." Xue Rui praised.

It was just the content on the paper, not an assignment, but "Fifty Possibilities of Suicide".

This silly girl actually wrote so many possibilities.

"The first possibility is being humiliated."

"The second possibility is that he fell from the building while sleepwalking."

……

All kinds of fantastic ideas were listed on two whole pages, and Xue Rui discovered that Lin Ruoxi had no intention of committing suicide at all.

But when I saw the last few lines, there was a line of words that stood out. Although it was just as neat, it was obvious that a little more force was used when writing it.

"Possibility 39: Grandma passed away."

Xue Rui seemed to have grasped something.

He knew Lin Ruoxi's past. Her only family now was her grandmother who suffered from diabetes.

"Because the old lady died?"

Xue Rui felt that among so many predictions, only this one was closer to reality, but diabetes was not some unpredictable disease. How could it be life-threatening?

He took out his cell phone and sent a text message to his family saying he would not be going back.

He must go to Lin Ruoxi's house to see the old lady.

Holding the slender mobile phone, Xue Rui was speechless. This was the first mobile phone in his life, and it should take some time before he could get it.

But now, perhaps because of his "willingness to help others", which helped improve his image at home, the phone was put into yesterday's incubator and handed over to him in advance.

To put it bluntly, it is an old mobile phone that his father discarded.

Not many students in the class bring cell phones, but those who do bring cell phones mostly use smartphones. For example, Yibing uses Coolpad, and some other students use Lenovo and Meizu.

Gu Muxue uses the most powerful smartphone currently available, the iPhone 4S.

"Why did your father buy you a Nokia?" Qiu Mengze couldn't help but ask as he looked at the phone in Xue Rui's hand.

"This is called Weitu." Xue Rui defended.

"Such a small screen, it's Nokia."

"You're right, it's originally a Nokia brand."

For a moment, Xue Rui found it difficult to refute Qiu Mengze.

Even though this phone is more expensive than the iPhone, Xue Rui is not happy at all because it has very few functions and the screen is only the size of a finger.

The only thing worth mentioning is that Rittal is a luxury product and is shockingly expensive.

However, these students are not familiar with this niche brand, so there is actually not much difference between them and the Nokias used by old men and women.

"Dingling bell~"

When the school bell rang, the students left the classroom like crazy, carrying their backpacks that they had prepared in advance.

"I'll go back first. If you want to play games, contact me on QQ."

Qiu Mengze and Xue Rui were not going the same way, but he hoped that Xue Rui would turn back from his wrong path and stop watching the news in the Internet cafe.

"Get out." Xue Rui said unhappily, his eyes always observing Lin Ruoxi.

Lin Ruoxi was carrying a handbag that she had picked up from somewhere. Books were neatly placed in it, weighing her shoulders down slightly.

When she walked through the back door, Xue Rui grabbed the corner of her clothes.

When no one was around, Xue Rui said, "The head teacher asked me to visit your home."

Lin Ruoxi looked up in surprise, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes sized up Xue Rui, and murmured, "Okay."

Lin Ruoxi is just autistic, she is not stupid. If the head teacher really wants to visit the students, why doesn't he come in person? Even if he is not free, he will say hello to her. Why would he let the students go to visit the students?

She didn't know what Xue Rui was thinking, but she didn't refuse.

Xue Rui treated her very well. He gave her food and paid for her trip to the school clinic. Although he was unreasonable sometimes, she felt that all boys of her age were the same.

In fact, she didn't know how to reject Xue Rui at all.

"How do you usually get home?" Xue Rui asked.

"Take the bus." Lin Ruoxi said, pointing to a bus.

It was the time when students were getting out of school, and the bus company had specially arranged more buses at this time, so the two did not have to wait long.

There were many students getting on the bus. Lin Ruoxi took out a ten-yuan bill from her book, stuffed it into the cash box of the bus, then turned around and pointed at Xue Rui.

The driver nodded.

Xue Rui was completely confused, and when he saw the ticket price on the bus, he was stunned.

The bus charges are based on the station, with the highest fare being five yuan, and Lin Ruoxi paid the highest fare for two people. How long is this route?
He suddenly remembered Lin Ruoxi's home, which was in a suburban town in Hedong City, and he took an inter-district bus.

He felt a little regretful. Why didn't he take a taxi?

But since he had come up here, he didn't complain. Since the little girl could endure it, why couldn't he?

There were a lot of people on the bus and there was no empty seat for the two of them. Lin Ruoxi stood in the corner, and Xue Rui held the handrail and stood in front of Lin Ruoxi. The two were very close, almost face to face.

Lin Ruoxi lowered her head, and her soft hair kept brushing against Xue Rui's nose, which felt itchy, but also had a faint fragrance.

Although it smells like cheap shampoo, it depends on the person. When used on someone as beautiful as Lin Ruoxi, it has a different charm.

The bus started slowly only when there was no more room for people.

Xue Rui thought that the car was driven quite steadily. It was such a pity. He had wanted to "accidentally" get closer to Lin Ruoxi.

But after just a few minutes, the driver started to get irritated, cursing as he drove, and each word he said became more unpleasant than the last.

As for the bus, it brakes suddenly when stopping and seems to fly when starting. The excitement is no less than that of the pirate ship in the amusement park.

"Fuck you."

This is a normal driver, all buses in Hedong City are like this.

There are dozens of stations along a few kilometers of road in the city, and the bus has to stop at every station regardless of whether there are people there or not.

The driver was extremely annoyed and the passengers were suffering even more.

As the bus swayed back and forth, Xue Rui had no idea how many times he had "intimate contact" with Lin Ruoxi. However, he was in no mood to appreciate the sweetness in her arms. He just hoped that the bus would leave the city as soon as possible because he was about to vomit.

"Are you okay?" Lin Ruoxi noticed that Xue Rui was not in good condition and his face was pale.

Xue Rui looked down and saw that Lin Ruoxi's lips were rosy and her complexion was much healthier. The recent hospital meals and nutrient solution were very effective.

"It's okay, I just feel a little carsick." Xue Rui's stomach was churning.

He doesn't get carsick, but he gets sick on the buses in Hedong City.

Lin Ruoxi looked nervous and fumbled for something in her bag.

"Damn it! How dare you get on the bus! Are you in a hurry to reincarnate? I'll kill you!"

Suddenly, the driver slammed on the brakes again. Lin Ruoxi lost her balance and subconsciously hugged Xue Rui.

Xue Rui felt the softness in his arms, and suddenly thought that it would be better to leave the city slowly.

Lin Ruoxi slowly let go of Xue Rui and apologized softly: "I'm sorry, I didn't stand firmly."

Lin Ruoxi didn't know that her shy reaction brought her even bigger trouble.

"I feel like I stopped feeling dizzy when you hugged me just now."

Lin Ruoxi's hug diverted Xue Rui's attention, and he indeed felt much better. He was not lying.

"Hurry, hold it a few more times and it should be cured." Xue Rui said with a smile.

"I..." Lin Ruoxi took a few secret glances at him and found that Xue Rui's complexion was indeed much better and no longer so pale.

"Rascal!" A fat female student pushed Xue Rui from behind. Xue Rui felt as if he was hit by something heavy and felt particularly depressed.

"This female classmate just took advantage of me, and I don't know why, but I feel even more dizzy when I see you."

"Humph, I don't like you."

The girl snorted coldly, and the oil on her face shone greasy in the sun.

"You...I want to vomit." Xue Rui's throat was trembling as he spoke, and he was almost holding back his tears. The carriage was stuffy and he suddenly saw such a face and felt a little breathless.

Lin Ruoxi was at a loss and hugged Xue Rui again.
