Reborn, she saved the boy who was bullied to death

Chapter 233 Still Ignored

It was past eight in the evening when they returned from the hospital. Shang Qing had already informed her grandmother that they were eating dinner out, so she wouldn't worry. She hadn't sent a message to Ji Xun, as she was still quite angry about his impulsive behavior today.

"Qingqing, you're back." As soon as Shang Qing entered the door, Grandma Kang came out of the bedroom.

Ji Xun, who would usually greet her, did not show up.

"Uh-huh, Grandma. What are you having for dinner tonight?"

Grandma Kang hugged Liuliu and asked with a smile: "Xiaoxun is not at home, so I cooked some eight-treasure porridge. Do you want to eat it? I'll serve you a bowl."

"Is Xiao Xun not back yet?" Shang Qing stopped and looked a little worried.

"Well, he didn't come back. He said he was going to a classmate's house today and wouldn't be back."

Shang Qing frowned, feeling something was wrong, and asked, "Did you mention which classmate?"

"It is said that the classmate who came to our house to play that day was called Li..." Grandma Kang frowned and thought.

"It's Li Rui, right?"

"Yes, it's Li Rui." Grandma Kang patted her thigh and smiled.

Shang Qing hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Grandma, did Xiaoxun say when he'd be back?"

When Grandma Kang heard Shang Qing ask this, she noticed something was wrong. After all, these two children were usually as close as one person, so why would they need to get information about each other from her?

"Qingqing, what happened between you and Xiaoxun?" Grandma Kang wasn't sure. She had never seen the two children get angry before. Their relationship was so good that it was enviable. Today, when they were at home, they were still talking and laughing. But now, this situation was really strange.

Shang Qing leaned over, resting her head on Grandma Kang's shoulder, and said with a smile, "No, I just thought you knew. I just asked casually."

"Oh, I'm glad you're okay." Grandma Kang said happily. She stretched out her arms, hugged Shang Qing in her arms, and gently stroked her back with her palm.

Shang Qing curled up in Grandma Kang's arms like a little child, while Liu Liu slept even more soundly in their arms.

Late at night, when everyone was asleep, Ji Xun was lying on the bed, and the cell phone in his hand would light up from time to time.

"Sister, are you really not going to send even one message?" Ji Xun checked the dialog box with Qingqing's name on it, but it hadn't updated a single message. The most recent one was from 12:25 PM today: [Xiao Xun, the restaurant near the driving school is terrible.]

[Sister, when you get home in the evening, I will make you something delicious.]

Yeah! Good!

Staring at these messages, Ji Xun's eyes darkened with loss. He curled himself up in the quilt. His mouth was bruised, and the pain from the sores was bearable. However, the parts of his body that had been beaten were a little uncomfortable, especially his shoulders and neck, which hurt so much that he broke out in a sweat.

Chen Yangchen had used all his strength in that blow. It was no wonder Chen Yangchen hadn't expected Ji Xun to give up resistance, so he didn't hold back and struck down. He was desperate, and seeing that Ji Xun didn't seem to be acting strangely, he didn't think much of it.

At this moment, Shang Qing was also lying in bed, scrolling through her phone. A dialog box appeared for her lovely younger brother.

"Humph, you said you'd make me something delicious. Now that you've grown up, you've become really irritable. You don't even come home." Shang Qing looked at the lack of any new messages, feeling a little aggrieved, and muttered, "You hit me for no reason and didn't even apologize. You're still angry and won't come home! Humph, it's up to you whether you want to come home or not!"

When they went to the hospital and examined Chen Yangchen, the doctors all said that the blow was extremely brutal. Shang Qing also knew for the first time that Ji Xun was such a good fighter.

After all, Chen Yangchen was a physical trainer. He was famous for his fighting skills at school, and no one dared to mess with him. Unexpectedly, his younger brother, who was in poor health, could beat him up like this.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Shang Qing simply threw his phone aside, pulled the quilt over his head, and went to sleep.

However, it was summer after all, and after a while, she couldn't stand it anymore. She threw off the quilt and gasped for air. It was too stuffy and too hot.

The next day, Shang Qing kept watching the door, expecting Ji Xun to appear and sweetly call her "sister." But no, he didn't come back until the afternoon!

Two days passed, and Ji Xun didn't come back, nor did he send her any messages. This was so different from usual. Shang Qing was furious. What was wrong with her asking Ji Xun to apologize? Why was he so childish?

Shang Qing was eating dinner and said casually, "Grandma, it's been two days and Xiao Xun hasn't come back yet."

"Yeah, yes." Grandma Kang casually responded while eating the delicious food, "It's good. It's good."

Just these four words shocked Shang Qing so much that she almost spit out her food. What does Grandma mean by this? He's not home, he's not coming back, how can she say he's good? Grandma doesn't like Ji Xun anymore? That's impossible.

Seeing Shang Qing didn't understand, Grandma Kang put down her chopsticks and explained, "Xiao Xun is too introverted, and I don't usually see him get along well with any of his friends. This guy named Li Rui is quite good. Xiao Xun said that he wants to play with Li Rui for a few more days. This is really fresh. It's very good."

Shang Qing finally understood what Grandma Kang meant. However, she felt a sharp pain in her stomach. Ji Xun reported to Grandma Kang every day, explaining the reasons, yet he ignored her completely. Was he really mad at her? Just because she asked him to apologize?

Shang Qing continued to eat, but the delicious food tasted like chewing wax. Although she didn't show any unusual expression on her face, she felt a blockage in her heart, quite aggrieved, and even more bitter and aggrieved.

Another half day passed. Shang Qing took out her phone and checked it again and again, but still no one had contacted her!

The more I think about it, the angrier I get! Humph! You're just ignoring me!

Time passed minute by minute. This was a long process, especially for Shang Qing, who was currently angry.

Putting down the manuscript, Shang Qing slammed the table and stood up.

Shang Qing couldn't help herself and dialed Ji Xun's number. As soon as he answered, she would criticize him! She had to make him realize his mistake!

At this age, they're fighting without restraint. How can that be tolerated? It's only natural for an older sister to take care of her younger brother!

She waited with a dauntless air until the phone stopped ringing and automatically hung up. No one answered. Unconvinced, she called again.

I called twice but no one answered...

Shang Qing angrily stuffed her phone back into her schoolbag, put it on her back, and rushed out, not forgetting to say hello to Grandma Kang: "Grandma, I'm going out for a while."

Grandma Kang, Grandma Li, and the others exchanged glances. Grandma Li hesitated, unsure: "Why does Qingqing look like she's in a bad mood?"

Grandma Kang didn't look worried at all. Instead, she smiled mischievously: "Being in a bad mood... well, that's a good thing."

This incoherent sentence left the old sisters confused. They looked at each other with bewildered faces, all wanting her to explain.

Grandma Kang blinked her eyes and said mysteriously: "I'll tell you when there is good news!"

Everyone was even more curious, but Grandma Kang was very tight-lipped and wouldn't say anything no matter how much they asked. However, everyone's curiosity grew instead of diminishing, and they all started looking forward to it.
