Rebirth: At the beginning, the cool school beauty was caught stealing in the supermarket

Chapter 523 I'm Getting Better and Better
Lu Yuanqiu couldn't hear what they were talking about. He was just afraid that Shi Ling would get angry and pull Bai Qingxia's hair because she lost first place.

He was ready to rescue Bai Qingxia, but...

Lu Yuanqiu noticed that Bai Qingxia had taken out her phone and seemed to be adding Shi Ling as a friend.

After adding her as a friend, Senior Shi Ling raised her head and asked, "Are you going to cook me noodles or not?"

Bai Qingxia smiled sheepishly, then quickly opened the noodle bag and poured the noodles into the pot.

Senior Shi Ling watched this scene with a gentle expression and said, "You're still young, and you'll graduate a long time from now. Don't end up like me, realizing you didn't enjoy your student days until you're almost graduating."

Bai Qingxia looked up: "Senior, do you have enough innovation credits?"

Shi Ling: "Don't worry, I have other channels."

"That's good."

Bai Qingxia smiled at her easily.

Afternoon physical education class.

The content taught in university physical education classes was completely unexpected for Lu Yuanqiu, such as the Tai Chi sword they were currently learning...

On the playground, about thirty people stood in two rows, one row of girls and one row of boys, with Lu Yuanqiu standing behind Bai Qingxia as usual.

The physical education teacher's surname was Wang. He was a man in his thirties who liked to wear a baseball cap and had a beer belly. He also liked to speak with his hands behind his back. Lu Yuanqiu never thought that a university physical education teacher would have a beer belly.

The sports committee member then walked over carrying a pile of equipment and haphazardly placed a bunch of reflective longswords on the ground. Lu Yuanqiu followed the others to take the swords, and Zhong Jincheng turned his head to glance at them, then leaned over and whispered, "Why did you pretend to be injured?"

It seems Zheng Yifeng told him at noon, but didn't say why... Lu Yuanqiu: "Just pretend you didn't see it."

Zhong Jincheng gave him a strange look.

"Begin the stance!"

The PE teacher shouted, his voice so high-pitched it sounded like a eunuch's. The two rows of students began practicing swordsmanship in unison. Lu Yuanqiu glanced at Bai Qingxia in front of him, thinking he would have to wait until they finished practicing Tai Chi swordsmanship.

"Lung stance, straight thrust!"

"End the momentum!"

After Tai Chi sword practice, there is usually free time. Since there will be exams later, everyone will continue to practice sword with their friends at this time.

Seeing Bai Qingxia hastily demonstrating the movements in the teaching pool, Lu Yuanqiu seized the opportunity, suddenly cried out in pain, and sat down on the ground, clutching his right calf.

His classmates all looked at him, including Bai Qingxia and Chi Caocao, who were practicing swordsmanship nearby.

Zheng Yifeng silently turned his head away, pretending to ignore it, while Zhong Jincheng did the same thing, one continuing to practice swordsmanship while the other picked up his phone to make a call.

Lu Yuanqiu's acting was very good, but a bit exaggerated. He kept saying "It hurts, it hurts, it hurts," and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Bai Qingxia walking nervously toward him.

Hehe, I was fooled.

"What's wrong?" the PE teacher asked as he walked over.

Lu Yuanqiu frowned: "I twisted my ankle, it hurts so much."

A minute later, Lu Yuanqiu, somewhat confused, was clinging to the uncle's back as the uncle carried him toward the school clinic, with the Taoist priest and Finger following on either side with concern.

It seems I didn't tell my three roommates about this beforehand... Lu Yuanqiu thought to himself, bewildered. His plan was for Bai Qingxia and him to support each other as they walked to the school clinic, just like when he carried Bai Qingxia to the clinic in high school.

Even if they don't speak, at least the relationship between the two can be eased a bit. After all, Lu Yuanqiu is not sure if Bai Qingxia will still be like this with him tomorrow, because a variable happened today - Lu Yuanqiu's expression of his feelings on paper, which should also be something Bai Qingxia did not expect.

But to his surprise, his three roommates thought he was going to die and immediately carried him here. Lu Yuanqiu didn't even have time to notice Bai Qingxia's subsequent reaction.

Sitting on the stool in the infirmary, the uncle hurriedly said to the doctor, "He twisted his ankle, it hurts a lot, please take a look."

Fingel and the Taoist priest stood on either side, also looking down and observing.

As Lu Yuanqiu watched the doctor roll up his trouser leg, he hesitated whether to admit that he had pretended to be an actor. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of Bai Qingxia standing at the door of the infirmary. She was leaning against the door frame, panting heavily, and looking inside with concern.

It seems she was running after him.

Lu Yuanqiu was immediately overjoyed, but then cried out in pain. The moment the doctor touched him, he convulsed on the stool, making the older man wince in discomfort. Bai Qingxia stood at the door, her eyes trembling.

She finally couldn't resist coming in and stood beside Fingel, looking down at Lu Yuanqiu's ankle. The doctor was squatting down beside her, massaging it and asking, "Where? This?"

“Yes, yes, yes!” Lu Yuanqiu nodded immediately.

The doctor frowned and clicked his tongue, unable to see anything wrong. He repeatedly pinched Lu Yuanqiu, who kept crying out in pain. In the end, the doctor had no choice but to apply some safflower oil to Lu Yuanqiu and have him sit there for a while to see if it would swell up.

Lu Yuanqiu looked up and gave Fingel a look. Fingel was initially confused, but after glancing at Bai Qingxia, he understood. He quickly found an excuse to practice swordsmanship and pushed the Taoist priest and the uncle out. The uncle was still hesitating when he turned back and asked, "Is Xiaoqiu's leg alright...?"

"It's alright, it's alright, let's go first, there's a doctor here."

Bai Qingxia turned around and watched the three of them leave. She gathered her pleated skirt between her legs, squatted down in front of Lu Yuanqiu, and reached out to touch the spot on Lu Yuanqiu's ankle where the safflower oil had been applied.

"Does it hurt?"

She looked up and asked softly, just like when she first spoke to Lu Yuanqiu in high school.

Lu Yuanqiu looked at the clock in the infirmary. They hadn't spoken for 21 hours and 40 minutes since Bai Qingxia gave him the gift yesterday.

"It hurt a lot just now, but it's a bit better now," Lu Yuanqiu said.

The doctor at the desk turned his head and looked over. He had watched the whole process and seemed to have guessed something. He chuckled to himself and said, "Young lady, why don't you rub it for him?"

Bai Qingxia nodded quickly.

She gently massaged Lu Yuanqiu's ankles with both hands, while Lu Yuanqiu looked at the doctor, who could only shake his head slightly with a smile before looking at the computer screen.

As she massaged him, Bai Qingxia suddenly spoke:
"After deducting employee salaries, shop rent, utilities, and food costs, I should be able to earn close to 20,000 yuan a month. I will work hard to earn money. I currently have 40,000 yuan in savings, and my savings will continue to grow, enabling me to handle many things that require money..."

Lu Yuanqiu looked at her in confusion, wondering why she suddenly brought this up.

Bai Qingxia continued speaking while rubbing her ankle, her voice already trembling with tears:

“My dad will succeed in the negotiations, he definitely will. I think it will happen soon, very soon. He was in this state before he went crazy, which means he'll get better soon…”

As she spoke, she raised her head, her reddened eyes and rosy nose making her small, delicate face so endearing.

Lu Yuanqiu frowned deeply, watching Bai Qingxia raise her forearm to wipe away her tears, and then, with her head held high, continue to sob as she said to him, "I'm getting better and better too, very soon, very soon, just give me a little more time, very soon, I'll be able to live for myself..."

Lu Yuanqiu looked at her, wanting to comfort her, but felt a lump in his throat.

　They like each other, and the male lead is proactive enough, but the female lead isn't. I have a more appropriate and natural way to resolve the female lead's inner conflict and get them together later in this volume, so please be patient... As a storyteller, it's actually quite frustrating for me to explain so much. I've been in a bad mood these past few days because it's so difficult to control the emotional nuances. I'm a novice myself, and I've never written this kind of story before. I just wanted to write something delicate, which was very agonizing. Plus, after reading the comments, I was a bit overwhelmed. It's my fault that my recent writing has been weak, sparse, and of poor quality. I'm sorry to everyone who's been following along (bowing). While I can't guarantee the quality of the later chapters, I will do my best.
