67: Ruthlessly Dragged Into a Blind Alley

Ruthlessly Dragged Into a Blind Alley

Gu Yin smiled. "Jinyang, it's been a while."2

Meng Jinyang gave a faint smile. "Yinyin."

Gu Yin looked Meng Jinyang over. "Jinyang, I didn't expect to be able to see you again. I thought after what happened, I wouldn't ever see you again. How's your health?"

Meng Jinyang stiffened suddenly and her complexion immediately paled.

The girl from Class One asked, "What's the matter?"

Meng Jinyang squeezed her hands, her whole body shaking uncontrollably.

"That's…" Gu Yin paused and looked at Meng Jinyang. Even the girl's eyes were trembling and she seemed like she was about to break down. Gu Yin broke out a chuckle, "Why are you so gossipy? We used to live in the same area. After she moved away, she and my sister transferred to this school and that's when I met her."

The fact that Gu Mang was Gu Yin's sister was well known across the cohort after boys from Class One had spread the news.

"Ohhh," the girls in Class One exclaimed, and they said jokingly, "Yinyin, it seems very strange to me how your sister ranked last on the exam. Are you two really sisters?"

Gu Yin smiled and shook her head. "Nonsense, my sister just doesn't like studying."

"Hehe. She already ranked last. What difference does it make whether she likes studying or not?"

"Sigh, Meng Jinyang. You're the highest scorer in our year, why don't you transfer to our class? Don't let Gu Mang influence you."

The girls' smiles were particularly unpleasant in Meng Jinyang's eyes.

Meng Jinyang bit her lip, her face pale as she walked around the girls, and headed upstairs.

There was an evil gleam in Gu Yin's eyes. Her body swayed suddenly and she fell backward, instinctively grabbing onto Meng Jinyang's waist.

Meng Jinyang was shocked as there was a strong pull at her waist. She grabbed the railing frantically to steady herself.

Gu Yin fell and landed on the stairs. She looked up apologetically at Meng Jinyang. "Jinyang, I'm sorry. I lost my balance. I didn't touch your ostomy bag, did I?"

Meng Jinyang's turned pale instantly. She pushed Gu Yin away and ran upstairs as though she were running for her life.

Puzzled, the other girls asked, "What ostomy bag? Yinyin, what are you talking about?"

Watching as Meng Jinyang fled in a hurry, Gu Yin laughed, "It's nothing. Let's go buy something to eat, I'll treat."

The conversation immediately switched to another topic.

"I want to drink popping pearl milk tea."

"I want potato chips and fried chicken nuggets."

"I want…"

...

Meng Jinyang ran into the teachers' bathroom. There was no one inside.

She stood in front of the sink, breathing heavily. She looked up slowly at the mirror.

Her face was ghostly white and her eyes were red with fear.

Memories from many years ago came back to her. She was ruthlessly dragged into a blind alley by a middle-aged man. Meng Jinyang staggered backward. She shuddered and hugged herself tightly, tears falling from her eyes.

She clenched her teeth forcefully, restraining herself from crying and she slowly squatted down, clutching her head.

Shortly after, her mood stabilized.

She stood up as though nothing had happened and went to wash her face.

Facing the mirror, she adjusted her expression and walked out slowly.

Meng Jinyang handed the things over to Xi Yan, then walked back to her seat and sat down.

Shen Huan saw the hair on her forehead was wet. "Jinyang, did you just wash your face?"

Meng Jinyang grunted in assent. "I was a little sleepy, so I went to wash my face to wake myself up."

Shen Huan didn't suspect anything.
