Transmigrated into the sickly beautiful younger sister of the Villain Chapter 4
CHAPTER 4
The little boy had very strong bones. When Zhao Ming was bandaging him, some of the wounds had already been there for some time, with fresh injuries overlapping the old ones, making it a distressing sight. Zhao Ming felt a bit uncomfortable when he started to treat the wounds but he didn't say a word.
Zhao Ming helped him put on the plaster and half-jokingly said, "Luckily, there's no scar on your face, otherwise the little girls won't like you in the future."
The little boy has a very handsome face, with well-defined eyebrows and expressive eyes. When he grows up a bit, he will probably attract a lot of young girls.
However, this child had no intention of joking with him.
He did not see any trace of childishness in the way the children of his age usually behave. Zhao Ming tried to make a witty remark, but received no response, so he could only awkwardly fall silent again and apply medicine to the child's hand.
After everything was taken care of, Zhao Ming picked up the medicine box and prepared to leave. However, he saw Qin Si standing up and saying, "Thank you."
The boy's height only reaches his shoulders. Zhao Ming notices his jet-black hair swirling around. The boy's gaze is very serious as he says, "I will repay your favor in the future."
Zhao Ming was somewhat surprised. Previously, when he saw Qin Si in front of Lu Nian, he looked like he was covered in thorns, and he thought he was just a rebellious child. But now it seems that rather than rebellious, it is more accurate to say that he is surprisingly mature for his age.
He waved his hand and said, "There's no need to thank me. I am just doing a job on someone else's behalf. If you want to show your gratitude, you should thank the person who asked me to come."
Upon hearing the words, the boy's eyelashes trembled slightly. He tightly pursed his lips, and in the end, he said nothing.
The wind outside is blowing fiercely.
Lu Nian caught a cold during the day. After entering the house, she continuously sneezed several times. In the evening, she took medicine and shortly fell asleep. Her health condition is not good. She slept through the night and woke up on the next day.
The next day, after washing up, she leaned over the mirror and examined herself.
The little girl had no trace of rosy complexion and appeared to be one or two years younger than her actual age. She had slender arms and legs, with a pair of beautifully shaped big eyes, a delicate nose, and small, slightly upturned lips. Her facial features bore a slight resemblance to Lu Nian's own when she was a child, but the girl's features were more refined and delicate, albeit pale. She was undoubtedly a budding beauty.
It's just that the entire person is enveloped by an illness that is visible at first glance and cannot be dispelled.
The Lu family certainly lacks neither doctors nor nourishing supplements, and Lu Nian's diet can be described as extremely abundant. However, despite consuming these precious nourishing supplements, they have had no effect whatsoever. The young lady remains pale and sickly, like a small flower wilted by frost.
Indeed, for children of this age to be healthy, they need to spend more time running around and engaging in physical activities outdoors. Simply relying on consuming health supplements at home all year round would have the opposite effect.
Today, the sun was shining outside, creating a rare winter day with bright sunshine. Lu Nian was thinking of going for a walk outside and wanted to quietly see Qin Si, unsure if he was as uncooperative with Doctor Zhao that day.
Unexpectedly, before she finished tidying up and went out, she heard footsteps outside. Zhang Qiuping walked up the stairs with a smile on her face and said, "Miss, the gentleman has come to see you."
Lu Nian's heart skipped a beat. She hurriedly returned to the room and sat down.
Lu Zhihong soon came in. The man was dressed neatly, just like the day he saw her in the hospital. He looked her up and down and said, "You've recovered well."
Lu Nian smiled at him for a moment before noticing that there was a woman standing next to Lu Zhihong.
A woman in her mid-to-late twenties, looking quite beautiful, dressed extravagantly, with flawless makeup. However, her eyebrows and eyes are somewhat sharp, revealing a hint of coldness.
She didn't look at Lu Nian at all from beginning to end. After Lu Zhihong finished speaking, she glanced at her with a half-smile and said, "That's good, but this time, you stayed at home for so long. How many times did you go to school this year?"
Lu Nian, "..." Who am I speaking to?
Zhang Qiuping exclaimed, "Madam has also returned from her vacation."
Madam...
After thinking about it for a moment, Lu Nian realized that the woman in front of her was most likely He Tian, the legendary stepmother of Lu Nian.
He Tian has been married into the Lu family for several years. At first, she received special attention at home, and everyone thought she would soon give birth to another child for Lu Zhihong. Unfortunately, up until now, Lu Zhihong still only has Lu Nian as the only child."
Outside, there is a lot of discussion, and later on, He Tian's attitude towards Lu Nian became increasingly strange.
She seemed to have a strong dislike towards children. In the original book, not only does she dislike Lu Nian, but she is also one of the instigators of the abuse towards Qin Si.
Lu Nian only feels a headache. Why is the situation in her family so complicated?
"If you recover well, it would be good to return to school early and attend classes," Lu Zhihong glanced at He Tian and coughed, "You'll be able to catch up with the final exams."
Lu Zhihong has always had high expectations for Lu Nian's studies, but unfortunately, Lu Nian does not listen and frequently complains of pain here and there. Lu Zhihong is in a dilemma about how to handle her, being neither able to treat her lightly nor heavily.
After leaving the house, Lu Zhihong said, "It's not working out if things continue like this. I'm not at ease handing over such a big responsibility of the Lu family to her in the future."
"It doesn't matter." He Tian played with her nails nonchalantly and said, "That child you adopted is quite smart. You can take him as your son-in-law in the future and let him handle the affairs of the Lu family. There's no need for Nian Nian to worry about it."
Lu Zhihong, "What did you say?"
He Tian was not convinced and said, "You brought him back from the orphanage at that time, isn't that what it means?"
Otherwise, after going through countless options, find someone whose age is not far apart, who looks handsome and has a sharp mind, isn't it just for serving one's own daughter in the future? There is no one in the family, and it happens to be convenient to control.
Lu Zhihong abruptly stopped in his tracks and said, "I only have this one daughter left now. Am I out of my mind? You want me to marry off my only daughter to someone picked up from an orphanage, someone who doesn't have parents? When you're bored at home, you go out for beauty treatments and shopping with your group of sisters. Don't interfere with Nian Nian's affairs."
He Tian saw that he was really angry, so she pursed her lips and stopped talking.
Ancheng Affiliated Middle School is the best school in Ancheng. The secondary school and primary school are combined, and most students are admitted directly from the primary school. The students mostly come from affluent families, or they are exceptional individuals from ordinary families who gained admission based on their own outstanding academic achievements.
Lu Nian is currently studying at Ancheng Primary School in the fourth grade. However, her grades are very poor due to missing too many classes.
Miss Lu only spends less than two months in school every year, and basically she can choose not to go if she doesn't want to. Her mental state is poor, she has a strange temper, and she has even attempted suicde a few times. Everyone knows that her family background is prominent, so the teachers are afraid to discipline her and just let her do as she pleases.
This time, Lu Nian surprisingly agreed to go to school, which delighted the entire family.
The day to return to school has finally arrived. Lu Nian feels the chill and when she left in the morning, Zhang Qiuping bundled her up into a small ball of fur. In the past, Lu Nian cared more about being beautiful and would refuse to dress like this, but now she only wants to maintain her health. As long as she can stay warm, she doesn't mind wearing more layers.
She, who is round and plump, went out and was driven to the school gate by the car of the Lu family.
Her driver and nanny were all here, and they even wanted to follow her inside. Lu Nian looked at the elementary school students coming and going around her. Some of them were much younger than her and were alone, which made her feel embarrassed. So, after a lot of persuasion, she finally managed to persuade all those nannies to go back.
She walked alone, carrying her backpack, following the remnants of her memory towards her own classroom.
Due to the merger of the elementary and junior high school sections, and being the most prestigious private school in Ancheng, Ancheng Affiliated Middle School has a large campus. Lu Nian has a poor sense of direction, and combined with her vague memories of the school, she frequently stops and takes a few steps.
The distant sound of the morning self-study bell has already started ringing "ling ling ling," and the nearest teaching building to her is still far away on the horizon.
Lu Nian, "... "
She now regrets sending away that group of people, otherwise at least they could have escorted her to the classroom today.
She didn't want to be late, so she quickened her pace. However, in her haste to find the way, she failed to see clearly where she was stepping. Suddenly, her foot stepped into empty space, and she tumbled into a ditch at the side of the road.
Fortunately, there was no water in the ditch, but it was hard and bumpy. She fell and hurt her butt badly. Lu Nian tried several times but failed to climb up. Mainly because she was dressed too thickly, which made it difficult to move. Also, her thin arms and legs had no strength.
Now that classes have started, there are basically no people coming and going on the way to school.
Lu Nian held her face and sat in the ditch, blankly gazing at the sky. She seriously contemplated whether she should start taking off her clothes layer by layer to save herself, or simply sit and wait in the ditch for everyone to finish their class.
Qin Si saw the white fluffy ball at the end of his line of sight suddenly disappear.
How could there be such a foolish person?
Don't even know how to walk, can't even climb up such a shallow ditch.
A little boy, who was half a head taller than her, stood by the roadside. Despite it being winter, he was still wearing thin clothes, and his pair of black eyes looked at her with indifference.
It's Qin Si, ah.
How did he appear here? Lu Nian was somewhat surprised and suddenly remembered that Qin Si seemed to be studying here too.
She looked him up and down, blinked her long eyelashes, and her bright eyes curved up with excitement.
Qin Si thought indifferently that it was useless for her to be happy because he wouldn't help her. He just came to take a look at her ugly appearance, that's all.
Lu Nian blinked her big eyes and smiled with curved eyebrows and eyes.
Qin Si saw her sitting in the ditch, looking relaxed and carefree, with a smile on her face, as if she were sitting in her own living room.
"You're all healed up." She looked at his wounds on his hands and face that had been carefully treated, and felt relieved in her heart. She even felt at ease squatting in the ditch.
Qin Si，“…”
The early winter wind is bitterly cold, but Lu Nian still showed no intention of seeking help from him. Qin Si turned around, wanting to leave, but his feet seemed to be nailed to the ground and he couldn't walk away no matter how hard he tried.
He is particularly irritable.
Lu Nian watched as the figure disappeared, not surprised at all, and continued to look up at the sky. Suddenly, the shadow turned back.
Qin Si tightly pursed his lips and pulled her up from the ditch. His actions were rough and simple, and Lu Nian only just realized how strong he actually was.
He didn't touch her, he just held her through her clothes. As soon as she got steady on her feet, Qin Si immediately let go, as if dealing with a fierce beast. He didn't even want to get close and quickly backed away to a spot several steps away from her.
However, Lu Nian was very surprised. He actually helped her. She thought that Qin Si would not only not help her but also throw a few stones into the ditch.
"Thank you." The little girl's voice is sweet and soft like cotton in the wind.
Qin Si walked silently in front of her. The boy's back was thin but straight. He was still wearing only a thin hoodie inside his school uniform, which looked cold. The tips of his exposed ears were probably reddened by the wind, which was particularly noticeable on his fair skin.
Two people were walking, one in front and one behind. Suddenly, a figure ran over from the end of the tree-lined path.
Upon seeing Lu Nian, Lu Yang immediately stopped his footsteps and exclaimed, "Nian Nian!"
He ran up and confirmed that Lu Nian's arms and legs were all fine, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Lu Yang pulled her close and noticed the mud stains on the hem of her clothes. "Nian Nian, what are you doing here? Did something happen? We've been looking for you like crazy."
The nanny clearly saw her enter the school, but there was no one in the classroom.
Lu Nian whispered, "I fell down by accident." She glanced at Qin Si and felt that he probably didn't want to have any further connection with her.
Lu Yang asked, "Did you hurt yourself from the fall? Should big brother carry you to the classroom, or should I call Uncle to take you home?"
Lu Yang is now in his second year of junior high school and also attending Ancheng Affiliated Middle School. His family has repeatedly instructed him to keep an eye on Lu Nian while he is at school.
Lu Yang and Lu Nian's paternal grandfather are biological brothers. In terms of blood relations, they are considered distant in their generation. However, among the current generation of the Lu family, the branch led by Lu Zhihong has been the most successful. So, even though they are distant relatives, they are still considered relatively close.
Upon receiving the news that Lu Nian hasn't arrived at the classroom yet, he immediately ran out to find her.
Due to the previous incident involving Qin Si, Lu Nian really couldn't muster any good feelings towards Lu Yang. She pulled away from his hand and shook her head, "It's okay, I can walk by myself."
Lu Yang only just noticed Qin Si ahead.
Since the "jumping off the building incident" that day, Lu Yang had not seen Qin Si again. On that day, he had wanted to frame Qin Si, but his plan was ruined by Lu Nian's words. Lu Yang naturally didn't think it was Lu Nian's fault, so he blamed Qin Si for all the embarrassment he had suffered in front of Uncle Lu.
He find him even more unpleasant now.
Lu Yang forcibly pulled Lu Nian up and said, "Big brother will take you to the classroom."
Lu Yang is fourteen years old. Lu Nian is several years younger than him and has a weak body, so she cannot break free. She can only be pulled along by him.
Lu Nian was pulled away from Qin Si's side by him. She looked at Qin Si one last time and saw that he had cold and indifferent eyes. He didn't even look at her, as if he didn't care at all.
As expected, Qin Si still disliked her very much. It is estimated that in his heart, she and Lu Yang are two of a kind.
Lu Yang pulled Lu Nian along as they walked, and a chill ran down his spine. He turned around and saw Qin Si standing far away, gazing at their backs. It was only then that he noticed the child's jet-black eyebrows and eyelashes, and the terrifying look in his eyes, which was even more unsettling than before. The child stared silently at him, and he couldn't tell what he was thinking.
Like a young wolf that had something snatched away.
Clearly, he is just a person who has absolutely nothing. What could he do to him? Lu Yang thought contemptuously.
