Chapter 43 - A crack on the jade (3)
That night.
Lin Tiantian had another dream.
She dreamt that Ning Zhi went over to a certain place with the little jade stamp. It looked to be a mansion of some rich people.
Ning Zhi then handed the little jade stamp over to an old man.
The dream was in bits and pieces.
Lin Tiantian saw that Ning Zhi became more glamorous. Like the moon surrounding by all the stars, she was the envy of everyone.
As for herself, she could only look from the entrance from afar. Watching as Ning Zhi became the princess that was doted upon. Even without her parents, Ning Zhi was still doted by her……
Lin Tiantian woke up startled. She suddenly recalled the little jade stamp that her mother had given Ning Zhi earlier that day.
Lin Tiantian couldn’t see the people in her dream clearly but she knew that the little jade stamp was very important and that she could not let Ning Zhi has it.
She must find a way to get it from Ning Zhi.
Lin Tiantian took a look at Lu Shenyuan, who was sleeping soundly next to her, and walked out of the room lightly.
She was just about to go downstairs when she run into Ning Zhi in the hallway holding a glass of milk in her hand.
“Xiao Zhi, you are up late tonight,” said Lin Tiantian as she walked up to Ning Zhi.
Ning Zhi raised her brows, “Can’t we say the same about you?”
As though she didn’t notice the coldness from Ning Zhi, Lin Tiantian smiled and said, “I saw my mom giving you a small jade stamp earlier today. It looked delicate and pretty. I got into collecting pretty jades lately. Can I……”
“No!”
Ning Zhi cut her off right away. “That’s from my dead parents. Don’t get any ideas.” Ning Zhi had no idea why Lin Tiantian was interested in that.
Lin Tiantian bit her lip. “I just want to take a look.”
“No, not even one look.” Ning Zhi took a sip of her milk and snickered. “Why don’t you let me take a look at the necklace that you are wearing?”
Lin Tiantian put her hand over the necklace reflexively. “This had been blessed. I can’t just let anyone touch it……”
Ning Zhi’s eyes were filled with mockery. “That’s not double standard at all.”
Lin Tiantian turned pale.
After returning to her room, Ning Zhi quickly moved the box with the jade stamp somewhere more hidden and even locked it up.
She finally returned to bed when she confirmed that it was safe.
Lu Jue had already fallen asleep. Recalling what he had done under the blanket today, Ning Zhi’s face burned a little.
Recollecting herself, Ning Zhi summoned Overlord. “How many little suns will it cost on my next trip to help Lu Jue?”
Overlord quickly told her: [Host, it will cost 5 little suns this time.]
Here Ning Zhi thought she was so rich with the 16 little suns that she had gotten today. Little did she know, she had to spend another 5 little suns to help Lu Jue now after she had exchanged 10 of them for her halo. She was down to one little sun in the blink of an eye.
Overlord quickly put away the 5 little suns from Ning Zhi. His milky voice was filled with excitement. [Good luck and save travelling.]
Ning Zhi opened up her eyes again.
She looked at her hands. She skin was light and tender and her fingers petite and delicate. Her finger tips were a hint of cherry-blossom pink. It looked like she was back to her original self.
She feet were still bare but it would not get dusty from stepping onto the ground.
Ning Zhi started looking around. The surrounding did not look familiar to her. She did not appear at the Lu’s residence this time.
Did that mean little Lu Jue was nearby?
“Hurry up. PE class is about to start.”
“Do you think that fool will tell on us to the teacher?”
“Of course not. He doesn’t like to talk. He’s like a mute.”
“The fool is very timid. I am sure he is crying inside the bathroom by now.”
“Let’s pretend to be ghost and scare him till he pees his pants next time we lock him up.”
……
Hearing what the boys were saying behind her, Ning Zhi quickly turned around. Her first reaction was that Lu Jue was the fool that they were talking about.
They locked Lu Jue up in the restroom?
The bell rang and the surrounding quieted down. Many children quickly ran toward their classrooms.
Including those boys.
Ning Zhi frowned and went quickly to look for the restroom.
Ning Zhi spotted the sign that pointed to the restroom from the direction where the boys came from.
Standing in front of the men’s restroom, Ning Zhi peeked and only walked inside when she confirmed that there was nobody there.
All of the stalls were empty until Ning Zhi got to the very last one. She saw that the door was tied shut by a rope from the outside.
“Xiao Juejue, are you inside?” Ning Zhi wanted to untie the ropes but her hand went through the door knob. She wasn’t able to touch the rope.
She went straight through the door into the stall.
The last stall in the restroom was very narrow and small. It was usually the one that the cleaning staff used for storage. Trash cans, garbage bags, mops, and water buckets took up a lot of the room.
Little Lu Jue with his little body squatted inside the stall. His head lowered and he put his arms around his knees quietly.
Ning Zhi’s heart ached as though it had been squeezed all of a sudden.
Squatting down, she leaned into his ear and said softly to him, “Xiao Juejue, big sister is here.”
