Milk, fried eggs, sausages, and sliced fruit.
Seeing Tianmiao come downstairs, Xi Linghe flashed a big smile, "Tianmiao, you’re up."
"You don’t need to make breakfast. The housekeeper will do it." Tianmiao sat down at the table and said with a smile. Dong Xiao’s role in the house was naturally the housekeeper.
"I wanted to do something for you. You’ve helped me so much, I wanted to do something for you too," Xi Linghe said with a somewhat embarrassed smile.
"When I help you, I charge a price." Tianmiao lifted the glass of milk, shook it slightly, and said this slowly.
"I know, but for me, it’s something I don’t want anymore. So I don’t consider it a price. I want to do something for you," Xi Linghe said firmly.
"Okay." Tianmiao laughed, "Then eat quickly. You can sleep a bit in the car later. You went to bed so late last night and got up so early this morning to make breakfast."
"Thank you, Tianmiao," Xi Linghe felt a bit emotional. How long had it been since someone showed her such care? She couldn’t quite remember...
After they finished breakfast, they prepared to head out.
"There’s sports class today. Tianmiao, I felt Wu Yihan looked at you strangely yesterday. Better not leave your sportswear in the locker room, just keep it in the classroom," Xi Linghe said as she sat in the passenger seat and fastened her seatbelt.
"Alright." Tianmiao nodded, started the car, and drove towards the school.
Xi Linghe leaned back in the seat, looking somewhat heavy-eyed, and soon fell asleep.
In sports class, after changing into their sportswear, it was time for a basketball game.
Five versus five.
Wu Yihan and a few girls strongly suggested she join the second team to play against them. She wanted to refuse, but she couldn’t at all. The PE teacher saw her reluctance and suggested that maybe this student could just cheer everyone on from the sidelines.
However, Wu Yihan arrogantly insisted, "The fatter you are, the more you need exercise to lose weight. We’re all just being kind. Teacher, you don’t want this student to stay this way forever, right? Besides, her basketball skills were recognized by the School Basketball Team, and she was even the captain before. It would be such a waste of talent not to play."
She had no choice but to play the game.
Where the teacher couldn’t see, Wu Yihan and the others elbowed her, stepped on her, and whispered tauntingly in her ear, "Having all that flesh really makes a difference when you bump into something. The feel is amazing."
In the end, with a ripping sound, a person who fell down yanked hard at her sports pants, tearing off a pant leg and exposing her thigh.
Laughter erupted from every corner. She felt icy cold all over as if the entire world were laughing at her, and she didn’t know what to do next.
Wu Yihan pulled up the fallen Lu Renyi, who apologized, "Ah, I’m really sorry, I didn’t mean it. But you know, one of your legs could count as two of mine, hahaha."
She ran off trembling, with her face flushed red. Leaving the gym, she went back to the locker room, and when she changed her pants, she found that the insides of both pant legs had been cut with scissors—no wonder they tore off so easily.
It was Wu Yihan!
...
"Ah!" Xi Linghe jolted awake, finding the car had already entered the school gates.
"Did you have a nightmare?" Tianmiao asked softly.
"I just remembered some unhappy things," Xi Linghe turned to look outside and said in a low voice.
