In the afternoon, Yu Xi came to class with a bandage on his forehead. Yu Xi was still complacent, thinking that it was a medal for a man. He told other classmates that his mother took him to many places to play at school today, which aroused the envy of everyone.

Ji Ningyi looked at the empty seat beside him. When Pei Jing left, he did not take away his school bag and textbooks. He helped Pei Jing pack all the books on the table and put them in the drawer.

Yu Xi is here, why hasn’t Pei Jing come yet?

***

When he woke up the next morning, Ji Ningyi was still thinking about this matter. He thought about calling Pei Jing but found that he did not have Pei Jing’s phone number and he did not know where Pei Jing lived. Yesterday, Pei Jing’s mother was so fierce, Pei Jing must be in pain.

Snacks are not allowed in the school, but Ji Ningyi still found his own candies, took two of his favorite fruit-flavored candies, and secretly hid them in his school bag. He wants to give it to Pei Jing, thinking that it would be much better after eating candies when he is in pain.

When Ji Ningyi arrived in class, Pei Jing hadn’t come yet. As soon as Ji Ningyi sat in his seat, the students at the back table poked him on the shoulder and asked him, “Ji Ningyi, yesterday in Teacher Luo’s office, did Pei Jing get beaten by his mother?”

Ji Ningyi frowned: “Who told you that?”

The classmate said: “Yu Xi, he told me yesterday after school. He also told many classmates.”

Ji Ningyi went to Yu Xi, he felt that they should help to keep Pei Jing’s secret.

Maybe because of yesterday’s lesson, Yu Xi came earlier today. When Yu Xi was about to enter the classroom, he was stopped by Ji Ningyi who was guarding the classroom door.

Ji Ningyi asked, “Yu Xi, did you tell many people about Pei Jing in Teacher Luo’s office yesterday?”

“Yes.”

Ji Ningyi said: “You shouldn’t tell others, because this is Pei Jing’s private matter.”

Yu Xi said, “I didn’t lie, why can’t I tell?”

Ji Ningyi said: “If you were criticized by your mother, would you want everyone in the class to know?”

Of course, he doesn’t want to, it’s fine for him to know about such a shameful thing alone.

Yu Xi also understood the truth now, but he still insisted: “Anyway, I already said everything.”

Yesterday, many classmates asked him what happened in the office. Yu Xi was usually not popular in the class, but when he was surrounded by so many people at once, he said everything with pride.

Ji Ningyi said: “Then, don’t tell others again, and don’t say it in front of Pei Jing.”

“Got it.”

When they returned to the classroom, Ji Ningyi looked at the class schedule. Today’s morning reading was English. He helped Pei Jing take out the English textbook from the drawer, put it on the table, and then arranged his own.

In this way, Pei Jing can read directly when he comes to the classroom later.

Pei Jing did not come to the morning self-study class. He only appeared at the door of the classroom when the class was about to end.

Wearing a school uniform and a mask, he came in through the back door.

Pei Jingyi’s appearance immediately caused a quiet discussion in the class. He sat silently in his seat. Ji Ningyi, who never spoke in class, approached quietly and said in a low voice, “Pei Jing, you finally came to school.”

He took the candy out of his schoolbag and secretly put it on Pei Jing’s desk: “Here you go.”

Pei Jing stuffed things into his drawer, his voice hoarse: “I don’t want it.”
