Xing Yue came back to her senses and hurriedly nodded. “Oh, okay. Can you go back yourself?”
“Yes.” Chi Jiao nodded and bypassed the crowd before walking far away.
When she was back in the classroom, Chi Jiao went to her seat and sat down.
Recalling that scene earlier, Chi Jiao was still feeling uncomfortable.
It wasn’t because of how terrifying the gory scene was, but because of the girl’s memories Chi Jiao saw before she died. She could clearly feel the girl’s despair and pain.
“Little Jiaojiao, why are you sitting here alone? Come, have some breakfast.” Xu Ye had just entered the class when he saw Chi Jiao in a daze. He hurriedly walked over and placed a scallion pancake and fresh soy milk on her desk.
Chi Jiao looked up at him. “I have no appetite. I don’t feel like eating.”
“What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?” Xu Ye asked worriedly.
Chi Jiao shook her head. Then, she saw Yi Lanlan and the other two walk in.
“Xu Ye, you have no idea, do you? A senior jumped off a building and committed suicide. She fell right in front of Jiaojiao and shocked her.” Dang Nan felt a chill run down her spine at the thought of that scene. “When we came over, Teacher Xing urged us to take good care of Jiaojiao, so don’t pick on her.”
“Jiaojiao, are you alright? Are you still afraid?” Bai Weiyu asked with concern as she sat beside her.
“I’m fine.” Chi Jiao smiled.
“Jiaojiao, why didn’t you come over yesterday afternoon?” Yi Lanlan asked.
“My stomach wasn’t feeling well yesterday,” Chi Jiao said softly.
“Then, aren’t you feeling even more unwell now? Jiaojiao, don’t force yourself. If you’re not feeling well, you should take the day off and head back home to rest.” Dang Nan frowned and looked at her worriedly.
“I’m really alright. I’m already much better than yesterday.”
“On the way here, we asked around. That girl is Lin Tiantian, a famous good student in Grade 12. Everyone says that she has been in an early relationship recently. Her behavior was a little indecent, and she committed suicide because she couldn’t take it anymore after falling out of love.” Yi Lanlan sighed. “It’s really not worth dying for a man. Her parents will be so sad if they find out.”
“Then, do you know who Senior Lin’s boyfriend is?” Chi Jiao asked curiously.
“I’m not sure about that. Senior Lin was very careful when she was dating, and she kept it a secret. She didn’t tell anyone who her boyfriend was.” Bai Weiyu looked at Chi Jiao in confusion.
At this moment, the class monitor walked in and announced to the crowd, “Teacher Xing Yue has something to settle now. The first lesson has been changed to an art class. Everyone, head to the art studio. Teacher Jin is waiting for us.”
As one of the teachers who witnessed Lin Tiantian’s suicide, Xing Yue naturally had to settle this matter.
The students agreed. They packed their things absent-mindedly and went to the art studio.
On the way, everyone was discussing Lin Tiantian’s suicide jump.
Chi Jiao listened carefully and realized that what everyone said was similar to what Yi Lanlan and the rest had told her. They were all saying that Lin Tiantian had jumped off a building because she was in a relationship at a young age and had fallen out of love.
Chi Jiao continued to ponder over this matter. She sat down in her seat and stared blankly at the snow-white drawing paper during their art class.
Just as Chi Jiao was thinking about the familiar figure of the man in Lin Tiantian’s memories, a shadow blocked off the sunlight shining in beside her. Jin Yiming’s gentle voice was heard.
“Chi Jiao, what are you thinking about?”
Chi Jiao looked up at the man standing beside her.
He was wearing a well-ironed suit, with golden-framed glasses perched on his fair and handsome face. He had a gentle smile.
