Chapter 300: Chapter 300 A Cold Wind

Actually, ever since the old lady had gone to the hospital and learned that her daughter-in-law had given birth to a girl, she had never come to visit again.

She wouldn’t agree to take care of her even if asked.

In the old lady’s room, there was a small spiritual tablet, belonging to Qu Ruorui’s brother.

She would light incense candles at dawn, noon, and dusk without fail, so Qu Ruorui grew up amidst the scent of incense.

Liu Pingxiu took care of everything herself since she was young, being excessively anxious about Qu Ruorui, asking repeatedly even when she just sneezed, and not allowing her to play outside.

Protection to the point of excess made Qu Ruorui unusually fragile, accustomed to hiding behind someone when she encountered strangers.

Not to mention there was also an elderly person who particularly disliked her.

Every day at mealtime, although there were clearly only four people at home, five sets of bowls and chopsticks were always laid out.

And they were not empty; food remained on them.

Once, Qu Ruorui sat in the wrong place and was just about to pick up her spoon when the old lady harshly slapped her hand.

"Move, that’s your brother’s seat."

Covering her bruised hand, Qu Ruorui then realized there was an unseen brother in addition to their family.

The old lady seemed to ignore the living Qu Ruorui, yet showered her deceased grandson with a thousand cares and a hundred affections.

She even had seasonal clothes specially made and burned for him.

Liu Pingxiu never concerned herself with this, directing all her attention to Qu Ruorui instead.

Every day after her daughter came home from school, she would check her from head to toe for any wounds.

Growing up in such a twisted family, it was no wonder that Qu Ruorui had such a peculiar personality.

Because of psychological age reasons, Yue Qingqing was usually very tolerant with children.

Qu Ruorui also lowered her guard around her, quietly speaking a few words after class,

even offering her treasured eraser to Yue Qingqing as if presenting a treasure.

After learning about Qu Ruorui’s situation, Yue Qingqing also came to understand the reason for the deathly aura around her.

A person’s allotted lifespan could indeed be affected by the dead.

Perhaps that aura was originally meant to belong to her brother.

But today, for the first time, Yue Qingqing noticed that the deathly aura surrounding Qu Ruorui was actually actively absorbing Spiritual Energy.

This realization furrowed her brow slightly, feeling that things weren’t as simple as she had imagined.

"Hand in your papers."

There were two minutes left until the end of the exam.

The invigilator walked to the podium, gesturing for the students to pass their papers forward from back to front.

Yue Qingqing then realized she had been pondering for quite some time.

After handing in the paper, Qu Ruorui quietly lowered her head to pack up her stationary.

Yue Qingqing approached her, causing the girl to jump in fright.

"Qing... Qingqing..."

Yue Qingqing smiled at her, a smile that, like a fresh spring, soothed Qu Ruorui’s anxious heart, as her clenched hands slowly unfurled.

"Do you want to walk home together?" Yue Qingqing invited.

Qu Ruorui lived in an older residential area not far from Zizhu Community, so it was convenient for the two of them.

Qu Ruorui blinked in surprise and then, remembering something, her head drooped in deflation.

"My mom is waiting outside for me; she comes to pick me up every day."

The girl’s voice was so soft it was almost inaudible without careful listening.

"Alright."

Yue Qingqing nodded and did not continue the conversation.

"Hey! How did the exam go?"

Wei Rong pounced over, resting most of her body on Yue Qingqing, with her somewhat plump chin nestled in the girl’s shoulder.

The two were already very close, even accompanying each other to the restroom.

"Not bad, how about you?"

"I should be able to score a double hundred, come on, let’s go home early today, mom said we’re getting ice cream after the exams."

Wei Rong pulled Yue Qingqing towards the exit.

Qu Ruorui watched their retreating figures with eyes full of envy.

If only... she could be one of them.

No sooner had this thought arisen than Qu Ruorui felt a chill around her neck.

As if a cold breeze had wound itself around her neck.

It made the girl involuntarily shiver.
