Quick Wear: I am a good female supporting role

Chapter 512 Memories 11

When they were on the mountain at night, Bai Yu would always follow Lingruo, moving forward step by step in the footprints she left. Sometimes when Lingruo was tired, she would sit down to rest.

Bai Yu did not sit down, but remained standing. The woman in front of him glanced at him, and then took out half a steamed bun, "Hey, are you starving?"

Naturally, Ling Ruo attributed it to Bai Yu being hungry. She was too embarrassed to speak and just followed her. After all, there was not much food in the mountains, and there were no small fish or pheasants that could fill people up and were easy to catch. When she first met the boy, he was dirty and didn't look like a full person at all.

Just like now.

Ling Ruo looked up at Bai Yu's empty plate and asked, "Did those boys take away your food again?"

The conditions in this orphanage were not very good. There was only meat once a week, and the other three meals were just ordinary rice porridge with side dishes.

Where there are people, there is competition and confrontation. As the most unpopular child in the orphanage, it was common for Bai Yu to be bullied.

Ling Ruo would stop him every time she saw him, but she was not often by Bai Yu's side, so she could not always protect him. Bai Yu always looked indifferent, and he didn't care much when others took his things.

It was as if he was not a party involved, but an insignificant bystander.

Now it is impossible to get the food back from those who stole Bai Yu’s lunch.

So much time has passed, and those boys always eat voraciously, so the food must have already been eaten by now.

Bai Yu sat next to Lingruo, watching her eat the food bite by bite.

Ling Ruo felt a little uncomfortable as someone was watching her eat. She picked up the sweet potato in the bowl, broke it in half, and handed it to Bai Yu, "Here, eat it."

Bai Yu tilted his head, took the sweet potato, but did not swallow it in one bite as Ling Ruo had imagined.

He was still watching her eat.

Ling Ruo was silent for a moment, then spoke again, "Bai Yu, I haven't eaten yet. I need to eat too. I have math and physical education classes in the afternoon, and I need to eat enough to have the energy to attend class. If they try to steal your food next time, just refuse. If not, call me."

She really didn't want someone to stare at her every time she ate.

Bai Yu handed back half of the sweet potato.

"I won't take back the things I gave you. You can eat it yourself." Ling Ruo quickly finished the last bite of rice and took the plate to the dishwasher.

Following Lingruo's example, Bai Yu ate the sweet potato bite by bite. He was not actually hungry and had no concept of hunger.

The boys wanted the food on his plate, so they could take it.

Bai Yu seemed to suddenly understand, he understood.

She also wanted to eat his food. If that was the case, he wouldn't be able to give it to that group of people if they wanted it in the future.

In the math class, the orphanage teacher was talking incessantly about calculation problems. Most of the students in the audience were listening attentively, with only a few who were drowsy.

Lingruo was also a little sleepy. It was not that she didn't want to listen, but she had already finished reading the shared math textbook and taught herself the entire course. She had already learned what the teacher had taught. Last night she went to the courtyard to watch the evening stars and returned to the house very late, so she was a little drowsy.

“0x1＝0，0x2＝0，0x3＝0....”

Noticing that there were students sleeping, the math teacher knocked on the podium, making a noise. Lingruo was awakened by the sound and heard the teacher calling her to get up and answer a question.

"0." Ling Ruo answered.

The teacher nodded and continued, "0 multiplied by any number is equal to 0. 0 multiplied by any number is meaningless. 0 is a meaningless number. Children, don't you agree?"

The children below echoed, “Yes, yes.”

Bai Yu's eyes darkened. Is Zero meaningless? Just like him, it is also meaningless.

"No." Ling Ruo shook her head, "Teacher, I don't agree with your opinion."

“Zero is the starting point of everything, the birth of nothing to something. It is not meaningless.”

Suddenly, a breeze blew by, blowing away all the tiny sounds in the classroom.

Bai Yu raised his head and looked seriously at the girl in the classroom for the first time.

After class, Lingruo left the classroom and went to the spacious open space in the orphanage. It was not only where she watched the stars at night, but also the place for physical education classes.

Every time at this time, Bai Yu would squat under the tree and watch the path the ants walked.

Lingruo would play with the children in the yard.

Lingruo would occasionally glance at Bai Yu inadvertently. She always felt that it was not the group of children who isolated Bai Yu, but that Bai Yu ignored this group of people.

She seemed to have never seen Bai Yu talking to other people, including teachers and children of the same age.

Bai Yu was naturally good-looking, and in the beginning there were many children who wanted to make friends with him, but he ignored any of them. Gradually, people spread the word that he was a loner, and the children split into different groups, but none of them went to find Bai Yu.

Bai Yu never spoke to other children except her.

Lingruo stopped playing with her friends. Xiaohong was a little confused, "What's wrong, Lingruo?"

"Let's play together." Lingruo stretched out her hand towards Baiyu, but Baiyu did not respond. He just glanced at Lingruo lazily and continued to observe the ants on the ground.

Xiaohong walked forward and held Lingruo's hand, "Lingruo, let's just play our own games. Don't bother with this freak. There's nothing interesting about watching ants under the tree every day."

Ling Ruo was not sad even though she was humiliated. Bai Yu seemed to be like this. It seemed that she was special to him, but she was just like that.

"Ah! Lingruo, there's a snake, there's a snake!" Xiaohong was so scared that she hid behind Lingruo.

A tiny snake was crawling on the open ground, hissing.

The children were so scared that they ran around everywhere, screaming all the time.

Noisy, very noisy.

I want to sew their mouths shut.

It was like being back in the cold and crowded laboratory, where the experimental subjects were also so noisy.

His mind seemed to explode with the unspeakable words of the dozens of children wailing in agony.

Bai Yu looked at the ants on the ground that had lost their formation because of the noise, and his calm eyes seemed to dim a little.

The snake was not scared off by the child's shrill voice. It twisted itself even more excitedly and pounced on the nearest child.

The child stepped back a few steps and fell to the ground. His arm was scratched by a stone and he started crying in pain.

The snake changed its target and the child was frightened. He fell to the ground and started crying.

When the other children saw someone crying, it was as if a switch was turned on and they started crying too.

Bai Yu saw that the snake's next target was Lingruo. He watched expressionlessly as the snake hissed and bit the girl.

Everyone present was crying and screaming.

Only Lingruo was still standing, not frightened to tears.

But it won't happen soon. Bai Yu didn't continue to observe the ants, but looked in the direction of Ling Ruo.
