After I Died, The Little White Flower Heroine Went Mad - Chapter 9
Li Zhu’s physical condition was especially good, and her stamina and endurance were excellent too.
At the same time, Bai Wei really was far too thin. When Li Zhu wrapped her arms around her, all she touched were bones, almost no flesh. Bai Wei’s weight was truly light.
So this whole way, Li Zhu walked very easily. Even her breathing did not become uneven as she carried Bai Wei along the school path and arrived at their destination.
As for Bai Wei’s accomplice hiding in the dark, she had probably also been shocked by Li Zhu’s unexpected actions.
She had no idea what was happening now. Wasn’t Bai Wei supposed to frame Li Zhu? How had she been saved by Li Zhu instead?
So she did not dare act rashly. She could only remain silent and watch helplessly as Li Zhu carried Bai Wei away.
As for where exactly Li Zhu was taking Bai Wei?
Of course, it was Li Zhu’s exclusive lounge.
As long as “Li Zhu” did not act up, her status as the Li family’s daughter was still very solid. At Nyx, she was second only to K3. In the same way, her authority within Nyx was also very high.
So for tonight’s welcome gala, of course the organizers had prepared an exclusive dressing room for her beside the auditorium.
It was in a separate building that the outrageously wealthy Nyx had specially built beside the auditorium: Moon-Gazing Tower, used specifically for noble students of distinguished status to tidy up and rest.
It was very close, right beside the lake, so they arrived quickly.
Li Zhu carried Bai Wei into Moon-Gazing Tower. Then, without stopping, she carried Bai Wei up to the second floor. Only after entering her exclusive lounge did she finally set Bai Wei down.
Bai Wei finally landed on the ground. She wanted to run, but was unwilling to.
She truly wanted to know whether Li Zhu had seen through her plan.
Even more, she wanted to know what Li Zhu was thinking and what she wanted to do.
In the end, she did not run. She stood there quietly, secretly glancing at Li Zhu.
Seeing the way her eyes shifted slightly, Li Zhu knew what she was thinking.
Their heroine classmate must have been stunned by what she had done just now. Because Bai Wei could not guess her thoughts, she must be extremely anxious and irritated, and she absolutely wanted to know whether Li Zhu had discovered her plan—that she had deliberately framed her.
But Li Zhu simply did not mention what had just happened at all.
She merely smiled, walked past Bai Wei to the other side, opened the simple and elegant wardrobe, and said while taking things out,
“The lake water at night is still a little cold. Go take a hot shower first. Don’t catch a cold.”
A moment after her words fell, she had already found a change of clothes.
She turned and returned to Bai Wei, handing the clothes in her hands to her.
“My clothes. Make do with them for now.”
“The underwear is new, but I don’t know your size, so make do with that too. It’s still better than having none.”
“This is my room. You can wash and change here with peace of mind. I’ll go next door and come back for you later.”
Tsk.
What exactly did Li Zhu mean?
This refusal to discuss anything obviously made Bai Wei even more anxious.
She could not figure out Li Zhu’s thoughts at all, but she also could not bring up what had just happened first, afraid that she might unintentionally reveal something in her words.
In the end, she could only do as Li Zhu said for now.
Bai Wei lightly bit her lip and reached out to take the clothes Li Zhu handed over.
She was thinking too much and was too clever. From beginning to end, she even forgot to say thank you.
But even if she came back to herself and realized it, no one knew whether Bai Wei would be willing in her heart to say thank you to Li Zhu, who had once “bullied” her.
In short, right now, she was very silent. After slowly taking the clothes, she slowly walked toward the bathroom.
Only after Li Zhu saw her enter completely did she leave, going to the bathroom in the spare suite next door to shower.
Half an hour later.
Li Zhu finished washing and came back wearing comfortable casual clothes.
The clean white T-shirt and loose long pants made her look less gorgeous than usual and added a touch of clear, handsome elegance.
When she arrived at the door, she did not enter directly. Instead, she politely bent her fingers and knocked first.
Knock, knock, knock.
It was quite a coincidence. Bai Wei had also just finished washing and was coming out.
Standing at the bathroom door, she froze when she heard the knock, surprised that Miss Li would actually respect someone like this. After a brief pause, she said,
“Please come in.”
Only then did Li Zhu push the door open and enter.
The room’s light fell down with her entrance, enveloping her.
She stood in the bright halo at the doorway and lifted her eyes, just in time to meet Bai Wei’s gaze as Bai Wei stood before the bathroom. Their gazes intertwined in the lamplight.
But they did not look at each other for long.
Because Bai Wei quickly lowered her head, as though she was not very good at making eye contact.
Her jade-clear face was partly hidden by hair that had not been dried with a blow dryer and was still slightly damp. Her hands were loosely clasped in front of her, fingertips tightly hooked together.
She had once again become that innocent little white flower.
Yet right at this moment, a sudden change occurred. The world abruptly froze.
But Li Zhu would no longer be shocked by this kind of scene. She only froze for a moment before reacting, then thought: what a familiar character-card login screen.
Her guess was correct.
A character card had indeed appeared again.
But it was not because a new character had entered the scene.
This time, the one causing the world to freeze was still Bai Wei’s character card.
A glowing white card quietly floated beside Bai Wei in the paused world.
Then, without needing Li Zhu to touch it with her mental focus, the card automatically flipped after appearing, revealing the pure-black back.
Oh?
Was the hidden information on the dark side of the card about to unlock?
Li Zhu’s eyes flashed, and she immediately became alert.
Sure enough, it was exactly as she expected.
The next second, the question mark and small text floating on the back of the card vanished like starlight. At the same time, the white mist covering it also slowly receded bit by bit, gradually revealing the true face hidden behind it.
Li Zhu focused and looked.
After the line [Do you really understand her?] scattered away,
A few more lines appeared immediately after.
[She is far darker than you think.
She appears clean and pure, but is actually very calculating and scheming.
She appears delicate and slender, but actually has means and strength.
Be careful. She is very strong, and her grip strength is especially strong. But only if she has eaten enough.]
This was very clear. The originally covered back of the character card was probably the other side of the character beneath the surface.
But… strong? Bai Wei was very strong? Why hadn’t Li Zhu felt it?
She only had strength if she had eaten enough. Did Bai Wei usually not get enough to eat? Surely not?
Also, speaking of which, how exactly was the back of this character card unlocked? She had now finished reading the hidden information, but still did not know what the trigger condition was.
Was it because she had discovered a trace of the character’s clues and uncovered a little of the character’s secret?
Then what kind of dark secrets would the other characters who also had character cards be hiding?
It was like a deduction puzzle game. Quite interesting.
But compared with all of that, what Li Zhu found even more interesting was—
In an extremely subtle way,
Bai Wei was currently lowering her head and standing there timidly, like a poor little cabbage at a loss.
Yet at the same time, the character card floating beside her clearly stated her calculating nature and darkness.
Pretending.
The moment her plan failed, she immediately pretended to be pure and innocent again.
But precisely because of this, Li Zhu felt a slight tingling in her heart. Her fingertips hanging by the side of her pants moved lightly.
What an interesting person.
What an interesting soul.
She appreciated children like this, who were cunning and dared to resist.
She liked the thrill that came from dealing with this kind of unyielding, intelligent person.
Just then, the character card dispersed, drifting away like scattered starlight.
When it completely disappeared, the world seemed to have its restart button pressed, and at last, everything could move again.
Li Zhu, standing at the doorway, opened her mouth and was about to speak. Her lips had just parted when she noticed something. Her gaze lowered slightly, and she looked down, discovering that she had not seen wrong. Bai Wei really was standing barefoot on the floor.
Bai Wei’s shoes seemed to have broken. After being tossed around in the water, they could no longer be worn. One of the old little white leather shoes had split open at the glue, and the sole of the other had fallen off. They had been placed somewhat awkwardly beside the bathroom door.
And Li Zhu had forgotten to get her shoes just now.
Moreover, Bai Wei’s shoes were clearly very ill-fitting. They were probably poor quality and too small, squeezing her toes red. Especially on her left instep, the skin was broken, and a large patch of skin had turned chalky-white from soaking in the water. Now, faint traces of blood were seeping out again.
It looked painful.
The words Li Zhu had been about to say were temporarily withdrawn. She stepped forward and walked over to the sofa. Pointing at it, she said to Bai Wei,
“Come. Sit.”
Unable to figure out what medicine Li Zhu was selling in her gourd, Bai Wei decided to temporarily follow Li Zhu’s rhythm tonight.
After hesitating for a moment, she walked over barefoot, slightly embarrassed, and sat down on the sofa.
Li Zhu did not sit. She turned and went to the room next door.
When she returned a moment later, she had a pair of slippers and a first-aid kit in her hands.
Then she came to stand before Bai Wei, who was sitting on the sofa.
And did something that shocked Bai Wei even more than jumping into the lake to save her.
She actually knelt on one knee before Bai Wei. After putting down the slippers and first-aid kit, her slender fingers clasped Bai Wei’s ankle. She lifted Bai Wei’s injured foot and placed it on her own knee.
So hot!
Why was this person’s hand so hot?
It made the circle of skin around Bai Wei’s ankle feel as if it had been burned by fire, hot and stinging. In the next second, that scalding heat spread up along her calf, making half her body go stiff.
It also left Bai Wei unable to speak for a moment. She was so shocked she was about to go mad.
What kind of wrong medicine had Li Zhu taken tonight? What on earth did she want to do!
Bai Wei instinctively tried to pull her leg back.
This behavior truly did not fit “Li Zhu’s” character setting.
“Li Zhu” would absolutely never do this kind of thing. Even if the other party were not her sworn enemy but someone she liked, she still would not do it. “Li Zhu” was always proud.
But Li Zhu would. Although Li Zhu appeared cold and aloof on the outside, her good upbringing and upright values made her fundamentally gentle and kind.
She would rescue stray cats, respect poor and suffering people, help up passersby who had fallen, and of course, she would also give a little help to someone who was hurt.
Since the restriction of “no OOC” was gradually no longer binding her, why should she still do what “Li Zhu” would do?
Now, she needed to do more of what she herself would do. She needed to use each action, little by little, to erase Bai Wei’s impression of “Li Zhu” and change her image.
Mm.
Although—
Li Zhu admitted that her actions were indeed a little outrageous and overly intimate.
Even if she would help an injured person, she would not normally kneel on one knee like this to apply medicine for them.
However, considering that she now had a strong interest in Miss Heroine and was currently clashing and tugging back and forth with her,
an outrageous action like this could be done. Perhaps it would even create an interesting chemical reaction.
At this moment, Li Zhu seemed to become that forceful Miss Li again. Bai Wei wanted to withdraw, but Li Zhu did not let go. She continued holding Bai Wei’s ankle and pressed Bai Wei’s foot firmly onto her knee.
With her other hand, she opened the first-aid kit, took out ointment, and treated Bai Wei’s wound.
“Why are you so surprised? Do you think this isn’t something I would do?”
“Then maybe you don’t understand me very well yet. You can learn more about me in the future.”
“As for me, right now, I have an unparalleled curiosity about you.”
“So, to protect my curiosity, I will protect you properly. You should protect yourself properly too.”
