Chapter 80 Sweet Girl's Smile: Life and Death Uncertain (1)
Su Dingding maintained an elegant smile.
Lan Ye had just finished the first lap and was already covered in sweat, moving at a pace comparable to walking.
After the third lap, he started to get a stitch and had to squat down to rest several times.
Before he had even finished five laps, his face was as pale as paper.
No, that's it, I've reached my limit.
"Lan Ye, are you a good-for-nothing? Others can run a lap in three minutes, but you need eight minutes, and you keep stopping and starting. You'll never be able to have children when you get married!" Su Dingding shouted from the stands.
Jiang Zhuo choked on his water after taking a sip. What kind of nonsense is this?!
The new principal also felt it was inappropriate, saying, "Lin Baobao, when I agreed to let you return to school, your father and I made a three-point agreement: if you disrupt the school's order, you can be expelled at any time."
"Go ahead and try to persuade me, I won't agree," Su Dingding replied.
"Huh?" The new principal was taken aback. "Then let's process your leave of absence. You can come back to school when you're fully recovered, okay?"
"Am I sick? What kind of sickness?" Su Dingding suddenly looked up and asked.
"Huh?" The new principal choked again. "That..."
“I’m perfectly fine now. If you keep nagging, I can’t guarantee I won’t actually get sick.” Su Dingding rolled her eyes and continued looking at Lan Ye.
"Lin Baobao, we've all been putting up with you, so please have some self-awareness and leave the school right now!" The new principal snapped.
"Hehehe, you're yelling at me?" Su Dingding pointed to his own nose.
Jiang Zhuo immediately warned, "Everyone stay away from her. Whenever our little darling shows that kind of smile, just look at my face..."
The new principal took several steps back and remained silent.
Su Dingding turned to look at Jiang Zhuo, "Am I sick?"
"Princess syndrome, that... it's not a disease, it's fate." Jiang Zhuo reacted quickly and dodged a bullet.
"Brother, you really are..." Su Dingding covered her face shyly.
Lan Ye had already run eight laps when she collapsed to the ground, completely exhausted.
Two teachers ran over to check on him. He clutched his chest, completely exhausted.
His clothes were soaked with sweat, his hair was stuck to his forehead, and his face was flushed.
A teacher fanned him, asking, "How are you feeling? Do you need to go to the infirmary?"
"I..." Lan Ye couldn't speak.
Su Dingding walked over and looked down at him, "You're being too arrogant, aren't you? You call yourself a genius? I think you're just a fake genius. Hurry up and keep running. If you don't finish today, you'll have to start counting from the first lap tomorrow!"
Lan Ye looked at Su Dingding with a hint of sorrow in his eyes.
He admitted that he had a crush on Lin Baobao, and had even planned which university they would apply to together and which city they would go to for their careers.
But after learning that Lin Baobao had been bullied and fallen from a building, he became afraid.
His parents were very strict with him from a young age. The reason he transferred schools was because some female classmates in his previous high school harassed him. If they found out that he had a girl he liked, he would be doomed!
They would not only scold him, but also confiscate his favorite models, and even beat him.
What can we do?
He could only choose to protect himself, pretending he knew nothing and just wanting to focus on his studies.
He'll be free once he gets through these last two months and gets into his dream university!
"Lin Baobao, I'm so sorry..." Lan Ye apologized softly.
"I'll forgive you after a hundred laps!" Su Dingding insisted on her stance.
"Lin Baobao, let it go. He's already in this state; someone could die."
"Yes, Lan Ye didn't do anything wrong. He wasn't the one who forced you."
Several teachers took turns trying to persuade him, but they were all very cautious.
Su Dingding kept a cold face and didn't say anything.
Lan Ye got up from the ground, wiped away his sweat, and started running again.
To everyone's surprise, he actually persevered.
In the evening, after their evening self-study session, the students all came to the large playground.
This is already the ninety-third lap.
Lan Ye was just mechanically running forward by sheer willpower; his brain had already lost all consciousness.
His steps were unsteady and disoriented; he kept falling down and getting up again.
If you can't get up, just lie there for a while, or crawl forward a few steps...
His classmates cheered him on, and none of them went home; the school teachers did not stop them either.
When Lan Ye's parents arrived at the school, Lan Ye had already completed his ninety-sixth lap.
They forcibly pulled him to stop, loudly cursing the school and Lin Baobao.
"I can't give up!" Lan Ye's voice was barely audible; his parents didn't hear him at all.
He fainted while being pulled by his parents and was taken to the hospital.
Jiang Zhuo stood behind Su Dingding and whispered, "He's not dead, is he?"
"I won't die, I haven't finished the hundred laps yet!" Su Dingding turned around and thought for a moment about which leg to step with.
Then, Jiang Zhuo saw her walk out in her classic manner, with both hands and feet moving in unison.
Lan Ye stayed in the hospital for three days, and her parents made a scene at Lan Shanghai for three days.
The medical expenses, nutrition expenses, and compensation for emotional distress were all compensated.
That evening, Su Dingding sat in the living room waiting for Lan Shanghai to return. Seeing his worried expression, she stood up and said, "Dad, don't worry. This little bit of money is nothing. I'll earn it back soon."
"Baby, just be good from now on, don't worry about these things, Daddy can handle it!" Lan Shanghai was very gratified that his daughter was sensible and knew how to care for them.
A few days later, Lan Ye returned to school, looking much thinner and more depressed.
Upon seeing Lin Baobao, he surprisingly didn't shy away but instead walked over to her.
He took a bulging envelope out of his bag. "This is the money your family paid me in compensation. I'm returning it to you."
"What do you mean?" Su Dingding didn't answer.
"You're right, this is what I owe you. Last time doesn't count. I'll definitely run a hundred laps before graduation!" Lan Ye promised very seriously.
Jiang Zhuo stood behind Su Dingding, chewing gum, and let out a cold snort with his head tilted to the side.
"Then I'll wait and see!" Su Dingding agreed.
Lin Baobao's tragic end had little to do with Lan Ye, and many things were beyond his control.
The reason I targeted him was simply because I was angry with him and wanted to teach him a lesson.
"Hmph." Jiang Zhuo took the money from Lan Ye's hand and casually warned, "Don't you dare mess with our eldest princess again!"
"Lin Baobao, I'm sorry!" Lan Ye apologized again.
Su Dingding didn't turn around and went back to the classroom with her hands and feet moving in unison.
The following period was relatively peaceful until a week before the college entrance examination, when the school gave them a day off, and Su Dingding and Jiang Zhuo went shopping together.
Because she was tired from walking, Su Dingding sat down on a bench at the bus stop to rest, and Jiang Zhuo went to buy her ice cream.
Just then, Zhang Jia and the others saw her.
When enemies meet, their eyes are filled with intense hatred!
"Lin Baobao!"
Su Dingding looked up and smiled. They've finally arrived!
