Chapter 87 PTSD
Chapter 87 PTSD
Yes, although the time at the mall was the first time Lin Jianlu met Akashi Mio, wasn't there another time before? That was when Akashi Mio came to the school to find Chen Chen, and she spoke to her as Lin Baolong.
Lin Jianlu clearly remembers that back then, Akashi Mio's front teeth were perfectly aligned.
But now she's missing a front tooth, leaving a gap in her eye.
Who else could have done it if not her?
Oh no, oh no! Although Lin Jianlu had never tried it before, she had heard that fillings were always ridiculously expensive, and if she were to get it done at this hospital...
Oh my god, she's going bankrupt!
However, she had to temporarily suppress her fear of losing her wallet, as there was still a question in her mind that she needed to resolve.
Why didn't she tell her?
Filled with doubt, Lin Jianlu asked the girl:
"You lost a tooth, why didn't you tell me?"
Upon hearing this, the girl lowered her head and spoke timidly:
"Because...because this happened a few days later, I...I was worried that you wouldn't admit it...so I didn't say anything."
Oh, it turns out she suffered internal injuries from the beating; it took several days for her tooth to fall out.
But there's no way she can deny it, right? If she tells the police, they'll definitely hold her accountable. There's no need for her to explain further. After all, what other reason could there be besides her hitting him? What would she have deliberately used to knock out her teeth? It's impossible.
However, Lin Jianlu was still a little shocked, after all, she did not expect that she could be so ruthless as to knock out someone's teeth.
She closed her eyes and sighed.
Although dental fillings are expensive, it was a mistake she made, and she will take full responsibility for it within reasonable and negotiable limits.
At that moment, the girl in front of him suddenly spoke:
"It's...it's a small matter, there's no need for Li to be sad, I...I didn't intend for Li to compensate me..."
what?
Lin Jianlu suddenly opened her eyes, utterly shocked: "You don't want me to pay for it?"
"Hi!" The girl nodded, then timidly explained, "I understand... Li doesn't have much money, so if I can't get... I can't get compensation from Li, so... I don't want it."
"Ugh..."
Lin Jianlu was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes.
This Japanese woman in front of me, I've decided to bestow upon you the title of Honorary Chinese! That's great, that's great! Although it seems she's mocking me for being poor, Lin Jianlu isn't an empress dowager and never pretends to be rich; Akashi Mio isn't Ito-san either and will never press me too hard.
The two girls, whose hearts should have been distant, suddenly felt incredibly close at this moment. For a brief instant, Lin Jianlu even had a feeling that "she's too good, and I've been misunderstanding her all along."
"I'm...I'm so sorry...I'm so sorry...It was my fault! Mio-nee! My dear Mio-nee! I apologize! I'm not human, I judged you with my own petty mind!"
Lin Jianlu, being thin-skinned, naturally wouldn't dare say such things aloud. But even so, she repeated them to herself hundreds of times.
I was just too touched.
"Come here," she said, pulling Akashi Mio up from the ground.
"The ground is cold, don't sit for too long. You're still wearing a skirt and your legs are bare, it's not good for a girl's health. I don't have much to offer you. Oh, right, I... I have a candy in my pocket, the lemon candy Yanbao gave me on Friday... Ugh, that's so stingy, I don't have anything good for you, it's my fault, my fault... Come on... ah... open your mouth, I'll feed you... Did you put it in your mouth? Ah, good! Great! Ah? What? It's sour? It's sour... What should I do if it's sour? Ugh, it's all my fault, why did I... Ugh! I really want to slap myself, I didn't think it through, I'm such an idiot! I really want to kill myself... Right, right, come on! Come on! Spit it on my hand! Yes! Right! Hahaha, it's okay, it's okay, it was just a little accidental contact with your saliva, it's not dirty, it's fine..."
Lin Jianlu's sycophantic attitude flattered Akashi Mio. She stared blankly at the blonde girl in front of her, unsure of how to react.
But one thing remains unchanged.
That is, she still seems to be physiologically afraid of her, and every time the other person gets even a little close to her, her skin will involuntarily break out in goosebumps.
She was still very scared.
She knew there was probably no danger, and the tall girl in front of her was being very attentive, but intuitively, she felt that the other person was a con artist trying to lure her somewhere to steal kidneys. She had a feeling that the other person might turn back into that fierce look at any moment.
Although it was unlikely, the feelings that had been formed were unbearable, and she still felt that, given the psychological barrier that had already been created, she should try to stay as far away from this guy as possible.
With that in mind, looking at the blonde girl who was still showing her concern, Akashi Mio made a decision.
"Um... can I say something to you?"
Hmph! Sure enough, as long as you learn Chinese, you can't avoid the verbal tic of "that".
"Speak up, I'm all ears."
Being spared from paying compensation, Lin Jianlu was in a great mood. She was so happy that she found the dinging sound of the elevator reaching each floor to be pleasant!
"I...I've developed PTSD because of Li, I especially...especially hate you!"
"Oh? Is that so?"
Lin Jianlu looked down at the girl's legs. They were pink, plump, and straight—a pair of beautiful, fleshy legs. But for some reason, they were trembling as if she was about to urinate.
That's terrible, Lin Jianlu, what exactly did you manage to save?
"Therefore, I think that from now on, when we meet, let's not talk about desu!"
Listen to that! He scared the girl so much that she started speaking in Peking Union Medical College.
"That compensation... I'll refund it to you..."
Before Lin Jianlu could stop her, the girl hurriedly took out her phone and, with trembling fingers, transferred money to Lin Jianlu again.
"Well……"
Looking down at the five thousand yuan that had been transferred to her phone, Lin Jianlu didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
No! No way! This is too much! She felt like such a beast! She had hit him, and he still wanted to pay her back the compensation money and avoid her like a plague.
— Sure enough, not long after, she shrank back into the corner of the elevator, as if she was worried that the other person was going to eat her.
She couldn't accept the money, so she quickly opened the transfer interface to transfer it back.
But when I pressed confirm, a big exclamation mark appeared on the transfer record.
"To... in order to help me... avoid PTSD as much as possible, I have a request." The girl spoke, and Lin Jianlu looked up at her.
"We should never...ever contact each other, never meet again...it's absolutely necessary!"
So she deleted her?
Does this mean she will blame herself until she dies?
Lin Jianlu stared blankly into thought.
With a "ding-dong," after countless opening and closings, the elevator finally arrived at the first floor.
"Then... goodbye... no! Never again!"
As the girl spoke, she stumbled and ran away from Lin Jianlu. In an effort to avoid touching her, she even bumped into the side of the elevator. Lin Jianlu heard something fall to the ground with a thud.
Akashi Mio seemed to be in such a hurry to leave that she was completely unaware of this.
Lin Jianlu quickly turned around and saw a phone with a message displayed on the lock screen.
"Hey! Your phone!"
She hurriedly bent down to pick up her phone and then saw the profile picture of the person who sent the message.
A woman who seems somewhat familiar? With Mount Fuji in the background of blue sky and white clouds?
A strange sense of déjà vu made her freeze in place, completely unaware that the chestnut-haired girl had rushed over again, hurriedly snatched the phone from her hand, and ran away.
A few seconds later, she snapped out of her daze and glanced in the direction the girl had left. The girl had already left the building and disappeared without a trace.
She had no choice but to take out her phone, open the friend request rejection message she had received not long ago, and stare at it silently, lost in thought.
