Chapter 225: I Was Wrong. I Wouldn’t Dare to Again

Of course, Pei Yao’s protection couldn’t affect her daily life. Chi Jiao would still attend lessons on time, and Pei Yao would always stay near her classroom to protect her. After school ended, Pei Yao would also protect her as she headed home and continued to protect her at home, to prevent the Esper from attacking her again.
Chi Jiao listened seriously to the series of things she had to take note of before promising to cooperate with Pei Yao.
When Pei Yao saw that Chi Jiao was so obedient and polite, she couldn’t help but reach out to caress her soft, satin-like hair. “Also, don’t worry. Our colleague has already gone to protect Quan Jue. We, at 117, will definitely be responsible for your safety.”
“Thank you, Sister. If there’s nothing else, I’ll head back to class first.” Seeing that Pei Yao had agreed, Chi Jiao stood up and left the office to return to her classroom.
Time passed quickly, and night fell.
In an abandoned warehouse in the suburbs.
Xu Lingling had been unconscious for a day. She couldn’t exert any strength in her body and it hurt like hell everywhere.
This was especially true for her sewn-up mouth. Every movement caused a piercing pain.
Xu Lingling didn’t know how much time had passed. Just as she thought she was about to die, someone suddenly held her face and helped her cut the cotton thread around her mouth.
No matter how careful that person was, he still accidentally hurt her.
“Ungh…” Xu Lingling endured the pain as she felt someone cutting all the cotton threads for her.
“Don’t touch me!” Xu Lingling opened her eyes and felt the world spin around her. Her mouth was filled with the stench of blood, and her throat was dry and painful. She was almost going crazy from the torturous pain.
In a daze, Xu Lingling saw someone standing in front of her.
Xu Lingling subconsciously thought that the other party was Zou Xingxing. Recalling her attitude earlier, she begged for mercy in fright. “Sorry, sorry, I was wrong. I wouldn’t dare to again. Cough, cough, cough…!”
Xu Lingling shouted too loudly, and a tearing pain shot through her throat, causing her to cough violently.
The person standing in front of her was very considerate. He brought the mineral water to her lips.
Xu Lingling felt like she had found a treasure. Ignoring the pain in her mouth, she took a few sips before realizing that the person in front of her was not Zou Xingxing, but a 13 or 14-year-old youth.
This young man looked similar to Zou Xingxing, except that his demeanor was different from ordinary people. He curled his lips into a silly smile and said, “Hehe, you’re awake. Have some water. You’ll grow taller if you drink more.”
“Who are you?” Xu Lingling asked as she sized up the little fool with thoughts popping up in her head.
“I’m Zou Ye. The one who hit you previously was my… my sister.” Zou Ye looked at Xu Lingling worriedly. “You’ve lost a lot of blood from your neck. I… I’ve helped you bandage it. Am I… Am I very obedient?”
When Xu Lingling thought of Zou Xingxing, she was filled with hatred, but most of it was terror.
Zou Xingxing was not here now. She had to leave this godforsaken place.
“Zou Ye, I’m still in pain. The rest of my body is injured as well. Can you help me bandage it? Otherwise, I’ll die,” Xu Lingling said pitifully.
“But you don’t have any other wounds on your body. My sister said that I can’t… I can’t let you go. Otherwise, she will hit me,” Zou Ye said hesitantly. When he mentioned Zou Xingxing, his expression was clearly fearful.
“I’m telling the truth. The wound is on my back. Untie me and you’ll know when you see my back. Look at me now. I don’t have any strength left. How could I lie to you? Zou Ye, I’m begging you. You’re so good. You won’t just watch me die, right?” Xu Lingling’s eyes were filled with tears as she looked at him pitifully.
