Little Blind Girl - Chapter 8

“Sir, they did cut her hair.” The homeroom teacher, Liang Yumei, pointed to the long hair on the back of Su Ruan’s head.

The dean immediately turned his eyes to the three beaten students, “Which one of you cut it? Take the initiative! Come forward!”

“Sir… it was me… but it was Peng Hai who handed me the scissors, and Wang Chen came up with the idea.” A male student stepped forward, his voice a little low.

“Oh, so the three of you cut her hair together?” The dean turned around with a serious face, “Go, call your parents as well.”

The three boys immediately looked bitter.

“Sir, I have a good idea.” Without waiting for the dean to respond, Ke Congying walked over to the three beaten boys and said, “How about you cut off a piece of your own hair and apologize to Su Ruan, then this matter will be resolved.”

The three students were enraged when they saw him. As they were surrounded by teachers, they didn’t dare to make any more mistakes, so they just stared at him and asked, “What about you? Will you let us hit you back after you hit us?”

“Come on, hit me if you can.” Ke Congying spread his hands in a magnanimous manner.

The three beaten students gritted their teeth angrily.

The dean slapped the table furiously, “Ke Congying! Just stand in your spot!”

Ke Congying rolled his eyes and stood there. His eyes swept through the crowd and settled on the seated Su Ruan.

When she was standing, she was already a small little thing. Now that she was sitting, she looked even more delicate and elegant. She had a straight posture, her two hands were neatly placed in her lap, and her face was facing his direction.

A face with no expression.

However, Ke Congying could read the despair on her face.

She was familiar with this kind of scene and had already anticipated everything that would happen next. It could be said that she was used to everything by now, so… she could only accept it.

Despair in silence and silent in despair.

Ke Congying stared at her for a long time before turning away, but his hands were clenched at both sides.

The end result was that the parents of all the students involved were called in, and then those who had to apologize would do so, and those who had to write reports would do so.

Ke Congying had to do both, as well as clean the toilets after class. He looked as if he didn’t care, as if he was used to being punished.

Su Ruan’s parents were at work, so they rushed over after receiving the call. The mothers of the three students apologized kindly, so it was hard for them to say anything. All they could do was repeatedly tell the boys not to cut her hair again.

The same thing over and over again.

Su Ruan sat there in a daze, thinking about the thing the boy had stuffed into her hand before he left. She was afraid of being discovered by her parents, so she kept holding it tightly in her palm. It was very hard and a little prickly.

A piece of candy.

It was taken from the dean’s desk. Ke Congying had taken one and put it into his mouth in front of the dean. He crunched on it noisily. After eating, he went to get another one.

The dean’s face completely darkened.

Su Ruan was taken away by her parents and to the barber shop to get her hair trimmed. While her hair was being washed, she lowered her head, tore open the small piece of sugar in her hand, and put it in her mouth.

Strawberry flavor. It was very sweet.

After her hair was trimmed, Su Ruan was taken home by her parents. She really didn’t want to stay at home. Although home was safe, it…

She gently opened the door and heard her parents’ muffled voices coming from the living room.

“Where should we send her? What place would treat her well!? Su Yongjun, are you kidding me? If she wasn’t blind, would she be bullied like this? Huh?!”

“Where can a blind girl like her be sent to?”

“Quiet down!”

“Do you expect me to quit my job and stay in the classroom every day to watch over her? Huh?! Is the little money you make enough to support us?!”

“Back then, I shouldn’t have…”

Su Ruan’s fingers trembled as she closed the door. She crouched down and covered her ears. Tears quickly soaked the piece of cloth on her eyes.
