Chapter 639: Chapter 639 From Now On, She is Under My Protection (1)_1

Whenever the boys in the class gathered to joke or tease someone, they’d love to say, "You like Qin Shujian," or "Qin Shujian likes you."

As for Qin Shujian, it was unclear whether she genuinely didn’t understand or was just pretending to be clueless. But she never got angry in the face of their mockery, and if someone yelled at her because they were upset - no matter if it was her fault or not - she would always apologize first saying, "I’m sorry".

Since he started paying attention to her, the three words he heard her say the most were "I’m sorry".

He didn’t think she had done anything wrong, yet she could always nonchalantly utter the words "I’m sorry".

He had seen her being tricked into running around the school field in the scorching midday sun for ten laps till her little face turned pale and her legs started trembling; He had seen her being commanded by the classmate everyone called the prettiest girl to go and buy snacks in the pouring rain; He had also seen her bustling around at classmates’ gatherings, only to be excluded in the end and not allowed to participate...

What wrong did she do, really? Was it just because she was born into poverty, with no money at home, wearing the same pair of shoes for a quarter, which attracted disdain from some? Or because she was good-natured and would not get angry when bullied, people just got used to making fun of her? Isn’t this always the case in society? The meek are targeted, the humble are ridden...

He didn’t understand how she could accept such treatment. He certainly couldn’t take it for her. Thus, when everyone naturally asked her, a small girl, to change the water for the class’ water dispenser, he irritably stood up, walked over and smashed the water barrel right in the classroom. In front of a room full of trembling classmates, he grabbed her small braids, pulled her to the podium and with his hand on her head, he announced to everyone, "From now on, she’s under my protection."

No one in the school dared bully her anymore, because of that sentence from him. It was like a decree that ensured no one in the school dared to bully her anymore.

But to avoid anyone troubling her when he was not around, wherever he went, he would bring her along. When he went to the washroom, he’d let her wait at the door; when he was at the internet cafe playing games, he’d have her standing behind him with her backpack; when he was playing ball with classmates, he’d let her squat nearby and wait...

Time flew by in this way, and it was already three years.

On her eighteenth birthday, he even took her to see a movie and told people that he was her boyfriend. She did not refuse, so he thought she agreed. That night, she ate all the birthday cake and long-life noodles he had given her. She had a lot of alcohol, and it seemed like she was really happy celebrating her birthday with him... If she was happy, he was happy too. That night, he touched her, and she did not resist, so he thought they were together now..

Afterward in school, whenever they were alone, he would instinctively want to hug her, kiss her...and she never refused...

Then he thought, they would go to university, at the same school, or if not the same school, then the same city. Whether they buy or rent a house, they would be living together anyway. And after graduating from university, they could then get married.

Even before the university entrance exams, while passing by a jewelry store near their school, he noticed that she had been eyeing a cheap platinum necklace on several occasions, but never bought it. So, he quietly bought it, intending to give it to her after the exams were over.

(Poor guy, full of passion, but the other party doesn’t understand anything~)
