Chapter 19: Why Are You Crying?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Song Zhi glanced at the caller ID. It was his elder brother, Song Yuan.

Big Brother must have cleared Tan Lina’s name and come to report the good news to him!

Song Zhi eagerly answered the call and asked, “Brother, did you save my classmate?!”

Song Yuan gritted his teeth and was so angry that his face turned ashen when he heard that. He scolded, “Idiot, you actually asked me to save a woman with a bad character and a dirty personality. Are you sick?! If you’re sick, go and see a doctor. Don’t look for me. I’m not a doctor!”

“I advise you not to care about such an unpresentable woman in the future. Otherwise, the Song Family will be humiliated by an idiot like you!”

If he hadn’t obtained the evidence provided by the police and sent someone to investigate, he would have thought that Tan Lina had been wronged.

Song Zhi was an idiot. He didn’t even know what was going on and he wanted him to protect that woman. How disgusting!

With that, Song Yuan hung up angrily, not giving Song Zhi a chance to speak.

Song Zhi was completely dumbfounded as he tried to digest what Song Yuan had just said.

In order to prove Tan Lina’s innocence, he had put Song Yuan on speaker, so everyone knew about his conversation with Song Yuan.

A classmate said right on the heels of that, “Song Zhi, even your brother called you an idiot. Are you still unwilling to accept the fact that Tan Lina lied to you?”

“That’s right, that’s right!”

Song Zhi’s face instantly turned red when he heard that. He felt indescribably embarrassed.

At the same time, he could not believe that the woman he had liked for so long had been lying to him?!

Tan Lina looked so pure, kind, and often helpful. How could she be that kind of woman??

Impossible. He had to ask Tan Lina personally!

Song Zhi glanced at the onlookers, Gu Xiaoxiao and the indifferent Si Fan. He gritted his teeth and turned to leave…

The classroom quickly fell silent.

The students also returned to their seats, but there were still people discussing what had just happened.

Si Fan glanced at Gu Xiaoxiao, who was still standing at the same spot, and raised her exquisite eyebrows. “Why are you still here?”

“Just now…” Gu Xiaoxiao fidgeted her fingers nervously. “Thank you.”

Si Fan flicked her fingers and asked lazily, “Why are you thanking me?”

Gu Xiaoxiao looked at the lazy and domineering girl who looked like a high and mighty queen. She bit her lip and suppressed her nervousness. “Thank you for standing up for me just now. If it weren’t for you, I would have been misunderstood by everyone…”

She knew very well the despair and discomfort of being misunderstood, slandered, and wronged.

Because she had experienced it herself and had broken down.

In some ways, she really envied Si Fan’s bravery.

At least she dared to stand up and fight for herself, didn’t she?

Si Fan: “You’re welcome.”

After that simple sentence, there was nothing else.

Gu Xiaoxiao felt very uneasy and said, “Si Fan, I’m sorry. I went overboard with you just now. I know I was wrong. Can you… forgive me?”

As she spoke, her eyes could not help but turn red.

She felt very helpless.

Because she really liked Si Fan and wanted to be friends with her.

However, Si Fan must be blaming her and angry at her for what happened.

Even she could not forgive herself.

Si Fan frowned when she saw Gu Xiaoxiao’s teary eyes. “Why are you crying?”

Did she say anything to bully this little girl earlier?!

Gu Xiaoxiao felt embarrassed and quickly wiped her tears. However, she could not stop her tears from falling.

“N-nothing. I’m just very sorry…”

Her eyes were red and watery, like an injured deer. She looked especially pitiful.

Although she was crying very softly, she was standing beside Si Fan now. Her shoulders were shaking as she cried, making her stand out.

Some people had already begun to mock her.

But Gu Xiaoxiao did not realize it.

Si Fan leaned forward slightly and reached out to grab Gu Xiaoxiao’s wrist. With a gentle tug, she pulled her to sit beside her.

Her slender and fair fingers pinched Gu Xiaoxiao’s chin. Seeing her red face from crying, she chuckled.

Gu Xiaoxiao was stunned. She did not understand what Si Fan was laughing at. Was she laughing at her for crying so badly?

It had to be. She had pockmarks all over her face, so she looked even uglier when she cried.

Guessing that Si Fan might be thinking this way, she became even more depressed. She tilted her head in shame and lowered her eyelashes.

Si Fan let go of Gu Xiaoxiao’s chin and poked her red cheeks. She smiled playfully. “Tsk, what a squeamish little girl. Your tears are like pearls that fall one after another. Those who don’t know might think that I’ve done something to you.”

Gu Xiaoxiao shook her head and wanted to deny it.

But Si Fan’s next sentence came.

“Don’t cry. Even if you cry, no one will feel sorry for you. Instead, it will make you look weak and useless.”

“In this world where the strong prey on the weak, crying won’t solve any problems. The strong are the truth. Only by becoming stronger can you be fearless and stand proudly among the powerful people. Do you understand?”

The girl’s voice was cold and indifferent. It seemed like a simple sentence, but it hit the nail on the head.

Gu Xiaoxiao was speechless.

It was undeniable that Si Fan was right.

Crying would only make her weaker. Those who bullied her would not let her off just because she cried. They would only think that she was easy to bully and bully her even more.

Only by becoming stronger and more outstanding would people look at you in a different light!

Gu Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth. She knew everything that Si Fan had said. Hence, she had been working hard to overcome herself.

She hoped that she could become the next Si Fan!

Si Fan looked at Gu Xiaoxiao and tilted her head. She seemed to have thought of something and slowly reached into her pocket.

Then, she took out a tissue that she carried with her and handed it to Gu Xiaoxiao. There was a hint of calmness in her exquisite and beautiful eyes. “Wipe your face.”

Stunned, Gu Xiaoxiao instinctively took the tissue from Si Fan.

There was also the fragrance of cold plum blossoms on the tissue. It smelled good.

She smiled gratefully at Si Fan and said softly, “Thank you.”

Si Fan smiled calmly. “Since you want to thank me, tell me, how are you going to thank me?”

Gu Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment. She instinctively said, “T-treat you to milk tea?!”

As soon as she finished speaking, she seemed to feel that her words of treating her to milk tea were too insincere. She added, “Let me treat you to a meal, okay?”

Si Fan had no objections. “Whatever.”

Hearing this, Gu Xiaoxiao could not help but smile. Si Fan had agreed to her treat. Did that mean that she had forgiven her for what she had just done?!

She couldn’t help but feel happy at the thought.
