Fox Spirit

It was only after those girls had been gone for a while that Little He Qing belatedly started to panic. She thought, They're not going to tell the teacher, are they?

Then wouldn't she get scolded?

But if she got scolded, then she got scolded. She comforted herself. No matter what, she had done a good deed, and even if Lin Zhengran found out, he probably would not blame her.

She turned back to Han Wenwen, whose face was still bleeding. "Are you okay? Did I come a little too late..."

Han Wenwen finally recovered from her shock and smiled. "No. Thank you for helping me. If they tell on us and call our parents, I'll testify for you."

Little He Qing let out a sigh of relief. At the same time, she could not help feeling that this girl called Han Wenwen really was pretty. When she smiled, her eyes had the feel of a Little Fox, and her face was very small and delicate too, an oval face with an indescribable exquisiteness. "No need to thank me. Do you want me to go with you to the infirmary? Your face is cut."

"It's fine." Han Wenwen took a small mirror out of her pocket and looked at the wound. "A little injury like this doesn't hurt or itch. I can go by myself. You should go to the cafeteria and eat."

With that, Han Wenwen did not even take an umbrella and walked off into the rain. Seeing her like that, Little He Qing chased after her.

"Don't you have an umbrella? Why don't I go with you after all? You'll catch a cold like this!"

When Han Wenwen saw Little He Qing running after her, she was a little puzzled by how kind she was. "Why are you so nice? If you come with me, you won't be able to eat lunch."

Little He Qing smiled helplessly. It was just that Lin Zhengran was not there at that moment. Otherwise, if he saw her like this, he would understand that He Qing's expression was completely learned from him. "It's okay if I skip one meal. The teacher said helping classmates is the most important thing. We're in the same class, after all."

Han Wenwen never would have imagined in her entire life that someone would actually say something like that out loud. She could only smile and nod, then walk with He Qing.

Only, the two of them did not go to the infirmary. Instead, they went to the school's little garden, where there were some pavilions and fish ponds.

Little He Qing was curious why she had come here. She saw Han Wenwen go to a wall and dig a small box out from a crack between the bricks.

After opening it, there were Band-Aids inside, as well as lip balm, hair clips, and other little girls' items.

She stuck a Band-Aid on her face, put a little hair clip in her hand, then put the other things back. After that, she sat down on the bench in the small pavilion.

Little He Qing blinked, looking completely confused. "Why are you sitting here... If you're not going to the infirmary, we can still get food if we go to the cafeteria now."

"We're sitting here waiting for someone to deliver food to us," Han Wenwen answered.

"Deliver food? Who would deliver food to us? Do your mom and dad work at the school? Are they coming to bring you lunch?"

Han Wenwen blinked her pretty Fox Eyes. "No. You'll know in a bit. Oh, right, what do you like to eat? I heard the cafeteria has Chicken Cutlet Rice at noon today. Do you like that?"

Little He Qing had heard that too. "I do like it, but if you don't line up early for Chicken Cutlet Rice, you won't be able to get any, right? It's really hard to grab."

Han Wenwen gave a meaningful smile and patted the spot beside her. "Sit with me and wait. Since you helped me, I can't let you go hungry no matter what."

Little He Qing still did not understand, but very soon, she discovered that someone really did come to deliver food to Han Wenwen.

And it was not just one person, nor was it an adult. It was several boys! Those boys came here holding umbrellas, each carrying a takeout box in his hands. "Han Wenwen, what did you want to eat today? We bought them all for you."

Under Little He Qing's shocked gaze, Han Wenwen walked over, then picked two portions of Chicken Cutlet Rice from their hands and accepted them.

She smiled sweetly at them. "Thank you. As payment for getting food for me, here, I'll give you my hair clips."

The two boys who had been chosen accepted her hair clips, their faces flushed and hearts pounding.

They looked extremely happy.

As for the remaining three boys who had not been chosen, Han Wenwen did not even look at them before returning to Little He Qing's side and sitting down.

She smiled at Little He Qing. "See? I told you someone would come deliver food to us, didn't I? This one's for you."

As if possessed, Little He Qing accepted it and saw that Han Wenwen had already picked up a spoon and started eating.

Those boys also left one after another.

However, one of them who had not given up still shouted, "Han Wenwen! Tomorrow, I'll definitely guess what you want to eat! You have to give me a gift too!"

Han Wenwen still did not respond at all and just ate her meal.

Only after all those boys had left did Han Wenwen eat her chicken cutlet while explaining to He Qing, "I know you have a lot of questions. To put it simply, those boys who came to deliver food all like me, and they've all confessed to me before, but I don't like them, so I don't want to bother with them."

Han Wenwen licked the rice from the corner of her mouth. "But some boys are very stubborn. They think that even if I reject them, as long as they keep pursuing me, I'll still come to like them. So they give me gifts and bring me food every day. But I really don't feel anything for them. At first, I even thought it was really annoying."

Han Wenwen turned to look at Little He Qing. "But later, I figured it out. Since they want to bring me food, why shouldn't I take it? I'll just treat it as them getting food for me. I give them my hair clips or hair ties as payment and thanks, and everyone's happy."

Little He Qing froze. "I feel like I can understand what you're saying, but also like I can't. Is this really a child's world..."

"You don't understand? That shouldn't be. He Qing, you're very pretty too. Has no boy ever confessed to you?"

Little He Qing waved her hands with a red face. "No—oh, no, there have been." She put down her hands. "One last year, and one this year too, but of course I rejected them both. We're only so old right now, and I..."

She did not say that someone already lived in her heart, and that she would not like any other boys.

Han Wenwen blinked her Fox Eyes. "Then maybe there are too few boys chasing you. Let me think..." She bit her spoon and counted. "Just this semester alone, there have been seven or eight who confessed to me, I think."

"Ah! That many?! Why? I mean, I know you're very pretty, but isn't that way too exaggerated?"

Han Wenwen's eyes curved into crescents. "Maybe it's because I look like a Fox Spirit. Although I'm not the prettiest, reality has proved that boys like my type of looks the most. It seems like all the boys want to have me."

Seeing that Little He Qing had not eaten, she reminded her, "Eat. I traded my hair clip for that. That hair clip of mine was pretty expensive."

Little He Qing stared at the lunch box in her hands and opened it. When she discovered that it really was Chicken Cutlet Rice, the kind that usually could not be grabbed even if you fought for it, she was stunned.

She scooped up a spoonful and put it into her mouth. It was extremely delicious, but very soon, she suddenly reacted and remembered what had just happened when Han Wenwen was beaten. "Then those girls earlier were wronging you, right? After all, it seems like you don't like boys at all."

Han Wenwen blinked her pretty eyes. "Mm, of course. How could I possibly seduce their Childhood Sweethearts or older brothers? I find those boys the most annoying."

Little He Qing let out a sigh of relief.

Who would have known Han Wenwen would continue, "But it's true that their Childhood Sweethearts and older brothers keep pestering me. Among the people who just came to deliver food to me, those two boys were there. Speaking of which, I'm pretty kind too. Otherwise, if I told them that their little sisters hit me, they'd probably listen to me and get revenge for me."

Little He Qing: "."

Han Wenwen's tone slowed. "I've actually never thought about breaking those people up. It doesn't benefit me at all."

Han Wenwen took another happy bite of rice. "I'm telling you this because you saved me. I'll remember this, and I'll repay you in the future. After all, even with those boys... I've never taken their things for no reason. Every time, I give them something of equal value in return. I don't take advantage of people."
