The pretty little follower gets targeted by the crazy guys at the elite academy

Six people were strapped to the operating table, their limbs firmly locked with straps, unable to move.

But their mouths weren't locked.

Zhou Si looked at the stark white ceiling and laughed.

That smile was nonchalant with a touch of roguishness, yet it also concealed a tenderness never before seen.

"Why."

He spoke, his voice hoarse:

"If I lose my eyesight later, I might... I might not be able to bring breakfast to that little thing anymore."

The others all looked at him at the same time.

Zhou Si lay there, staring at the ceiling, a smile playing on his lips:

"I wonder if she'll be able to get used to eating food bought by others in the future."

"That Morning Time restaurant near the South Gate, their shrimp wonton noodles have no scallions but cilantro, and their soy milk has less sugar..."

He paused, his voice softening slightly:

"That girl is very picky."

Lu Ran, who was listening nearby, suddenly chuckled:

"You're practically blind, and you're still thinking about this?"

Zhou Si tilted his head, looked at Lu Ran beside him, and sneered:

"Lu Ran, tell me, now that you've lost your legs, how are you going to ride a bike?"

Lu Ran glared at him:

"I'll wear steel prosthetics and ride on my hands! But you, without your eyes, how are you going to peep at girls showering anymore?"

"When did I ever peep at girls showering?!"

Zhou Si got angry:

"Don't you dare make false accusations!"

"Haven't seen her? How do you know Li Ruo has a good figure?"

"That...that's what I felt with my eyes!"

"How would you feel if you didn't have eyes?"

"I...I fucking feel it with my mouth!"

The two were bickering animatedly when Lu Xingzhou, unable to bear it any longer, coldly spoke up:

"Shut up, all of you, it's so noisy."

Lu Ran turned to him and retorted, "Cousin, you've lost your hands, how are you going to sign contracts in the future? You might as well just give the company to me."

Lu Xingzhou sneered: "Sign with your mouth and stamp it."

"Stamping with your mouth? That's like being a dog!"

Lu Xingzhou's expression instantly changed: "You're the dog, your whole family..."

It seems I can't insult his whole family, because that would insult myself.

Pei Qingrang spoke softly from the side:

"Lu Ran, now that you've lost your legs, how are you going to ride your motorcycle and show off in front of Li Ruo?"

Lu Ran was stunned for a moment, then retorted, "Why would I chase after her? I'm a misogynist!"

Pei Qingrang: "Then why did you agree just now?"

Lu Ran: "I...I did that for my brothers! For A Si!"

Zhou Si added fuel to the fire, "Come on, anyone can see through your little schemes."

"Shut up! Are you blind? Why are you talking so much?"

Guo Yiling sighed from the side, "Stop arguing, everyone, save your energy..."

Why conserve your energy?

Lu Ran retorted, "You've lost your tongue, so why don't you say a few more words while you still have one?"

Guo Yiling's eyes widened: "Lu Ran!!!"

Lu Ran sneered: "What will you do to lecture people if you lose your tongue?"

"!!!"

Guo Yiling choked.

That's a good question," Pei Qingrang said, looking at him with a rare sharp tongue.

"He will use sign language to train people from now on."

Guo Yiling: "...!!"

Lu Ran laughed so hard he was shaking, and the operating table even swayed.

"Hahaha, sign language! The way Chairman Guo is gesturing 'You stop right there' must be hilarious, hahaha!"

Jiang Wu, listening nearby, laughed the most heartily, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons with laughter:

"Tonight was so lively and fun!"

Happy?

lively?

All five people looked at him at the same time, their expressions complicated.

Is this child truly stupid or just pretending?

Six nurses pushed anesthesia carts over, each with a syringe on a tray.

The clear liquid medicine swayed slightly inside the syringe.

"Prepare for anesthesia," the doctor said.

The atmosphere suddenly froze.

The bickering stopped.

Zhou Si looked at the syringe and suddenly laughed. His laughter was a mix of roguishness and wickedness, as well as a hint of bitterness.

"Feed," he said in a hoarse voice, "you guys."

The other five people all looked at him at the same time.

Zhou Si lay on the operating table, staring at the ceiling, lost in thought.

"I... won't be able to see it anymore."

His voice was very soft, so soft that it was nothing like the school bully who used to yell and shout all the time:

"I really can't run that fast to deliver breakfast to that little thing again."

Lu Ran remained silent.

"We can no longer protect her from being bullied by others."

Zhou Si paused, then a smug smile crept across his lips:

"Although I don't like you guys, I'll let it slide since you also want to protect her..."

"You who are sharp-eared and sharp-eyed should help her."

silence.

Lu Ran spoke first, giving a wry smile: "I can't deliver your breakfast."

He looked at his legs, the legs that had once raced on the track and brought him countless championships.

"I won't be able to take her for a ride on the motorcycle anymore."

His voice lowered:

"That girl... was so nervous when she sat on the back of my seat, she was gripping my clothes so tightly that her fingers turned white."

"But every time she got off the bus, she said she wanted to ride it again."

He paused, his voice as soft as a sigh:

"They're very stubborn."

"So... those of you with legs should take her out to see the world more often."

Lu Xingzhou scoffed coldly, but there was a glint in his peach blossom eyes.

"Do you think I can't do anything without my hands?"

He slightly raised his chin, his posture remaining dignified.

"I still have my brain."

"I can command others."

"A plan can be made."

"We can plan the layout."

He paused, his voice lowering slightly:

"But... I can no longer hold her hand in person."

He glanced to the side, knowing full well that Zhou Si wouldn't be able to see him soon, but still spoke in his direction:

"Zhou Si, you've lost your eyes, but you still have your ears. From now on, listen to her if she does anything."

Zhou Si grinned: "Don't worry, my ears are sharp."

Lu Ran looked at Pei Qingrang: "Old Pei, you may not have a nose, but you still have your brain. If anything seems off around her in the future, you might not be able to smell it, but you'll be able to analyze it, right?"

Pei Qingrang adjusted his glasses.

Uh... even though his glasses had been taken off, he still habitually made that elegant thinking gesture.

"Of course." His voice remained cool and indifferent. "I will protect her in my own way."

Guo Yiling lay there, staring at the ceiling.

He opened his mouth, as if to say something.

But he found that his tongue was still there and he could still speak, but he could only say a few words.

"I... won't be able to speak anymore."

His voice was hoarse:

"We can't scold her anymore."

"There's no point in trying to reason with them anymore."

"We can no longer... tell her what she should and shouldn't do."

He paused, then looked at the other five people:

"You...you need to remind her more often."

"She's too wild for a girl; she's likely to get into trouble."

Lu Ran pouted: "Is it any of your business? What does it matter to you whether she's wild or not?"

Guo Yiling, unusually, didn't refute, but only gave a wry smile:

"Yeah, it's none of our business."

Zhou Si suddenly asked from the side, "Hey, what do you think that little thing is doing right now?"

"Maybe... they're watching us from the monitoring room," Lu Xingzhou thought to himself.

"She must be crying," Lu Ran said.

"She won't cry," Pei Qingrang said knowingly. "She's always been terrifyingly strong."

"She will cry," Jiang Wu suddenly spoke, her voice soft. "My sister's heart is actually very soft."

Everyone looked at him.

Jiang Wu lay on the operating table, smiling sweetly.

In those amber eyes, there was no fear, no apprehension, only a clear light.

"After I take this heart out and give it to my sister..."

He paused, then his smile widened even more:

"I will fulfill your wishes."

"..."

The five lunatics stared at him silently, their eyes filled with complex emotions.

"Silly child..." Lu Ran murmured.

"Without a heart, it's the same as being dead," Lu Xingzhou said in a low voice.

"How could he laugh?" Guo Yiling asked, puzzled.

Pei Qingrang looked at Jiang Wu, his eyes deep and unfathomable: "He had long been prepared to die."

Zhou Si remained silent for a long time before speaking, his voice unusually hoarse:

"Jiang Wu, you fucking...you're really crazy."

Jiang Wu tilted her head to look at him, smiling innocently:

"Brother Si, will your eyes hurt later?"

Zhou Si paused for a moment, then laughed, a laugh that was both roguish and wild:

"It will hurt. But I can bear it."

"That's good."

Jiang Wu nodded: "When you can't see me in the future, I can keep an eye on my sister for you."

Zhou Si, who loves to talk so much: "..."

Lu Ran suddenly asked from the side, "Jiang Wu, do you know what it's like to lose your heart?"

"I know," Jiang Wu said lightly. "I'll die."

"Then why..."

"But I want my sister to see my heart."

Jiang Wu looked down at her chest, her eyes filled with anticipation:

"I want to know if my heart is entirely filled with my sister."

"I want to show her how much I like her."

Five lunatics: "..."

Another brief silence followed.

They looked at the pale, thin boy with a pitiful yet complex gaze.

How can there be such a foolish person in the world?

He was willing to give up his life just so she could see his heart.

Lu Xingzhou scoffed, breaking the heavy atmosphere.

The others all looked at him at the same time.

He lay there, his peach blossom eyes slightly narrowed, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"What are you laughing at?" Zhou Si asked.

Lu Xingzhou didn't look at him, but stared at the ceiling, his voice indifferent:

"I laugh at you fools."

"You're practically a cripple by now, and you're still thinking about these useless things."

"What do you mean by useless?"

Lu Ran retorted, "Bringing breakfast to that little vixen is useless? Taking her for a drive is useless?"

"right."

Lu Xingzhou tilted his head slightly, a complex emotion flashing in his peach blossom eyes:

"Those things are useless to her."

"What she needed was never breakfast, a drive, a heartbeat, or any of those superficial things."

His voice was deep: "What she needs is safety."

"It's a sense of security that means I'll never have to be afraid again."

"It's a sense of security where you no longer have to scheme, no longer have to be on guard, and no longer have to worry about being abandoned."

The others: "...???"

How could Lu Xingzhou understand her so well?
