Xu Wuning patted her burning cheeks.
She cleared her throat, put on a serious face, and said, "This is going to be too violent every day."
Even if you're ready, I won't hit you.
"From now on, this spanking will be canceled too."
Lu Jingci thought that she was extremely disgusted with him because she didn't even want to hit him anymore.
His eyes welled up with even more tears. "You...you'll never forgive me, will you?"
"I'm sorry, I really shouldn't have thrown the love letter in the trash. I just... I just saw Lin Qingyue writing to you, and I was afraid you'd say yes to him. I'm so sorry..."
Xu Wuning watched as large tears rolled down his cheeks, and his back hunched over.
She, Xu Wuning, is someone who responds better to gentle persuasion than force, and she has a particular fondness for cute, younger men.
She couldn't stand seeing a man cry all the time, showing weakness with snot and tears streaming down his face, and crying so miserably.
She sighed weakly, reached out, and gently patted his head.
Her voice softened, as if coaxing a child, "Okay, okay."
"It's enough that you recognize your mistake; just don't do it again."
Lu Jingci raised his face, his nose red from crying, and looked at her. "Mm."
Xu Wuning patted his head with her other hand, her gesture full of affection and indulgence:
"I'll explain everything to Lin Qingyue. Besides, you picked it up again, didn't you? You didn't actually lose the letter. I forgive you, don't cry."
"Just don't do it again, okay? Be good."
The warm, soft touch on his head took Lu Jingci a long time to process before the corners of his lips slowly curved into a smile.
Xu Wuning glanced at the time. "Oh no, class is about to start. I need to hurry back."
After saying that, she grabbed his hand and ran towards the teaching building.
Lu Jingci looked at the arm she was holding, and his eyes immediately lit up with a smile, turning into crescent moons.
Behind Xu Wuning.
The tears in his eyes completely disappeared, turning into a deep, thick, dark color.
He knew that Ningning had recently taken a liking to seeing him look weak; she would soften her heart whenever he shed a tear.
Just now, when his eyes first filled with tears, he noticed this, which is why he cried so bitterly, making Ningning feel sorry for him.
His relationship with Ningning has been getting better and better these past two days, and he believes it will get even better in the future.
He is more important than Lin Qingyue.
Lin Qingyue doesn't cry, nor does she have enough tea; she can't outmaneuver him.
He gave a disdainful sneer.
……
During the break after the third period.
The students in the class were all playing around.
Only Xu Wuning sat there, feeling a little discomfort in her stomach, and gently rubbed it.
Lu Jingci naturally noticed her unusual behavior. He put down his pen and said with concern:
"There are hand warmers and brown sugar ginger tea on the left side of your desk drawer. Would you like me to get you a cup of hot water?"
Xu Wuning was completely bewildered.
The next second, Lu Jingci said softly, "Your period should be in the next couple of days."
Xu Wuning: ?
She herself couldn't even remember her own menstrual cycle, yet Lu Jingci knew?
She rummaged through her desk drawer and found brown sugar ginger tea and hand warmers. She asked Lu Jingci, "You know so much about this? Did you put them here beforehand?"
Lu Jingci's ears gradually turned red, and he lowered his head, "Mm."
Xu Wuning was stunned.
In her memory, whenever she had a stomachache during high school, she could always pull out brown sugar ginger tea from her desk drawer.
She has always been careless and can't remember when she bought it. Several times she even suspected that she had amnesia.
She even asked Su Wanyue if she had put it there.
Su Wanyue said, "It seems so."
Su Wanyue likes to drink brown sugar ginger tea during her period. Sometimes, when Su Wanyue can't fit it in her own drawer, she'll put it in her own drawer too. They all get mixed up together. Both of them are carefree and can't remember who bought it.
But each time, it felt like it was inexhaustible.
It turns out that Lu Jingci also bought it.
Seeing that she was thinking, Lu Jingci silently picked up her water glass and took out a bag of brown sugar ginger tea to get her hot water.
A few minutes later.
Lu Jingci handed her the water glass, his face still a little red. "Here you go."
Xu Wuning accepted it. "Thank you."
Lu Jingci lowered his head and continued doing his exercises. When his pen ran out of ink, he frowned and took out a pen from his pencil case.
The moment he unzipped the pencil case, Xu Wuning caught a glimpse of what was inside out of the corner of her eye.
"etc!"
Xu Wuning snatched his pencil case away.
Before he could stop her, she emptied out all the stationery inside.
Besides his usual black pen, there were several pink erasers, a pink ruler, and a few pink pens inside.
More importantly, these items are the same as hers; they are limited editions from the stationery store she often buys from, with a strawberry logo engraved in the lower left corner—exactly the same.
Xu Wuning was stunned.
She has always been forgetful and often loses her stationery, but sometimes, she would just go to the bathroom and come back to find it inexplicably in her pencil case.
For example, once she lost her ruler. She remembered losing it outside the school and was so angry that she lay on her desk and sulked for the entire break, constantly yelling that her ruler was lost.
But then, for some reason, it reappeared and fell under the table she and Lu Jingci were sitting on.
She initially thought she had misremembered.
But now, Xu Wuning suddenly had an idea.
Her voice tightened as she asked Lu Jingci, "Why did you buy so many pink stationery items that are the same as mine? You don't even like pink, and I've never seen you use them."
Lu Jingci's ears burned even redder, his gaze darting away as he looked at the exercise book: "I just want to buy it."
Seeing that he was lying, Xu Wuning said, word by word, "Nonsense, tell the truth."
Lu Jingci shrugged and said softly, "You always lose your things, and sometimes you get really angry when you can't find them. I don't want you to be angry."
"So, I bought a lot of the same items, and I'll secretly get the rest for you when you go to the bathroom."
Xu Wuning murmured, "What?"
A hint of panic flickered in Lu Jingci's eyes, as if he'd been caught red-handed doing something wrong: "Are you angry? I'm sorry... If you're angry, I won't do it again, I'm sorry..."
"Lu Jingci." She called his name, her voice a little hoarse.
"Um?"
Xu Wuning ruffled his hair: "You don't need to secretly put them in anymore. You can just tell me directly. And..."
She met his gaze, her eyes shining. "Thank you."
Lu Jingci's eyes widened in disbelief, then quickly broke into a smile, beaming with joy, and he nodded.
"it is good."
Ningning is indeed getting nicer to him, and she doesn't hate him like she did in junior high school anymore.
It's so great to be deskmates; it can enhance our relationship. At first, they barely spoke a few words to each other each day, but these past two days, Ningning has been talking to him constantly. It all feels like a dream.
He will try even harder to win Ningning's favor in the future.
Will.
Lu Jingci felt an overwhelming joy surging within him, as delightful as exploding fireworks.
……
The fourth period is physical education class.
Xu Wuning felt unwell and didn't want to do strenuous exercise, so she asked her teacher for leave and sat to the side.
The physical education teacher gave everyone a short training session, and then let the students move around freely on the playground.
Su Wanyue played jump rope for a while, then put it down. She wanted to play badminton with Xie Yu, but all the rackets had been taken by other classmates, and she was missing a racket.
"Xie Yu, go to the equipment room and get a racket!"
Xu Wuning had nothing to do, so she said, "I'll go get them. How many do you need?"
As soon as Lu Jingci shot the basketball into the basket, his gaze immediately fell on her.
Su Wanyue asked with concern, "One set will be enough, but aren't you feeling unwell, Ningning? Let Xie Yu go, or I can go myself. You don't need to go."
Xu Wuning shook her head: "It's nothing, it's nothing. I also want to take a walk."
After saying that, without waiting for Su Wanyue to stop her again, she walked towards the equipment room. "I'm going."
A few minutes later.
Xu Wuning got the racket. The equipment room wasn't far from the playground. She was about to go back the way she came, but then she thought the sun was too strong on that route, so she took a side path.
She walked quickly, and after a few more minutes, she returned.
She handed the racket to Su Wanyue, "Here you go!"
Su Wanyue smiled and accepted it, "I love you, Ningning, my darling."
She turned to Xie Yu tauntingly: "Xie Yu, come on, badminton, I'm going to beat you to a pulp today!"
Just then.
A boy who plays basketball came over to get a drink of water.
Xu Wuning glanced at the basketball, not seeing Lu Jingci, and asked, "Where's Lu Jingci?"
The boy was confused: "Didn't the class monitor come looking for you? You didn't run into each other?"
Xu Wuning was taken aback: "Wasn't he just playing basketball with you guys?"
The boy scratched his head: "I was playing basketball just now, but a few minutes ago, he said you weren't feeling well, so he was a bit distracted and worried about the other students in the class. He stopped playing and went to find you."
Xu Wuning understood: "That must have been the path I took back. We didn't run into each other, did we?"
wrong.
Suddenly, she realized something.
She had a bad feeling.
Every time she travels through time, Lu Jingci seems to encounter some kind of bad luck, and this time will probably be no exception.
After realizing what had happened, she stared in shock, her eyes wide, and ran out immediately.
She remembered that the incident wasn't happening around this time, so why was it brought forward this time? Had it caused a butterfly effect? Or had she misremembered the date?
Behind them came Su Wanyue and Xie Yu's anxious voices: "Ningning, what happened? Why are you so panicked?"
"Yes, Xu Wuning, you're running so fast, don't fall!"
Xu Wuning didn't have time to answer; her face had turned pale.
Faster, faster!
That's too late!
Lu Jingci, hang in there! Please, please don't let anything else happen to you...
At this moment, in the equipment room.
The shelf against the wall began to loosen, and a box of shot puts on it teetered precariously on the edge...
