Quick Transmigration: Kitten's Healing Handbook - Chapter 74

Chapter 74: Light In The Cracks 7

Lin Yao, apprehensive, clutched at the corner of her clothes for a little psychological support. The command she received was to take off her coat, walk out of the dining hall, walk backward twenty steps before stopping, and remain in the cold wind for a full minute.

Lin Yao instinctively felt there was a trap, but even if there was a trap, what could she do? She had no room to refuse.

The location where she stood had the already frozen fountain pool behind her. Wearing only a thin school uniform, Lin Yao shivered uncontrollably. The cold air from the ice-covered pool was like a poisonous insect, relentlessly burrowing into her bones.

Lin Yao silently counted the seconds in her heart. Sixty seconds felt like an eternity.

By the second half of the minute, Lin Yao was so cold that she could no longer focus on other dangers. When she came to her senses, she had already been pushed into the icy pool.

Falling onto the ice, the cold pierced through her thin clothes into her body. The pain of her body colliding with the hard ice surface was dulled by hypothermia.

When the pain of the impact combined with the stinging pain of the frostbite from contact with the ice reached her brain and then fed back to Lin Yao’s perception, the pain was so intense that she almost fainted.

The person who pushed Lin Yao initially watched the spectacle, but seeing Lin Yao fall and remain motionless, they became a little scared and quickly pulled her out: “It was just a game; don’t try to blackmail me. ”

Lin Yao was too cold to move, and after being pulled out, she could only sit leaning against the edge of the pool.

That person originally wanted to go back directly, but seeing Lin Yao’s bloodless face and pale lips, they were afraid something serious would happen and half-dragged, half-carried her back to the dining hall entrance: “I kindly brought you back; you can’t be ungrateful. ”

After saying that, the classmate didn’t care about Lin Yao anymore and went into the dining hall first.

Lin Yao understood the classmate’s meaning. Just like the girl in the second year of high school who smeared dirty water all over her with a mop, they bullied her and then offered some pity, demanding gratitude and not implicating them.

The heater in the dining hall was clearly only a door away from her, yet she stubbornly waited for a minute in the cold wind before struggling to stand up, supporting herself against the dining hall door. Returning to the warm dining hall, she stumbled, picked up her down coat which others had thrown into the corner, put it on, and wrapped it tightly around herself.

Perhaps her complexion was too bad, Ling Sheng and Xu Qiuran, fearing they had gone too far, didn’t bother Lin Yao afterward, letting her hide in a corner far away from them.

On the morning of the final exam, Xu Qiuran specifically waited for Lin Yao to go to the toilet to wash up. She used a broomstick to jam the doorknob, tied the handle and stick with rope, then wrapped it around the table leg and bed frame on the opposite side, tying a tight knot to ensure Lin Yao couldn’t leave the dormitory before the morning exam ended.

Lin Yao pounded on the toilet door. Her hoarse voice, due to a cold and cough, couldn’t even penetrate the door.

“As long as you are obedient, Miss, I will let you out at noon break. ”

Saying this, she left with the other students in the dormitory. The dorm supervisor, seeing that most of the students had left, took a 1000 yuan shopping card that Xu Qiuran had given her and went to the supermarket.

In a worst-case scenario, the dorm supervisor went to the supermarket, suddenly changed her mind and didn’t want to buy anything, went directly back to the school dormitory, discovered Lin Yao locked up, and by the time Lin Yao arrived at the classroom building, the first exam was already over.

Ling Sheng came up with this idea. Since the study notes could only help them improve to the top fifty rankings, they decided to make the top-ranked person absent from the exam, reducing one competitor so their ranking could move up one place.

They didn’t care about studying or grades, but the ranking of the big exam affected how much allowance they could get.

Lin Yao helplessly pounded on the toilet door, but the originally noisy environment outside gradually quieted down, and Lin Yao became increasingly desperate.

Clearly, she had fulfilled all their demands. She didn’t fight back when bullied, didn’t retort when scolded, gave them study notes, and even went to school every day despite being ill. Why, even after doing everything they asked, couldn’t they leave her alone…?

She really was so useless. What was the point of living like this? It seemed like she could no longer see a future. Really, she had reached her limit…

Lin Yao found the utility knife she had hidden in the corner of the washbasin. It had accompanied her through countless sleepless nights, the “medicine” she used to cover the wounds of her heart with self-inflicted wounds.

Each time, Lin Yao cleaned the knife very carefully. Now, the blade gleamed under the toilet’s harsh white fluorescent light. She had felt the blade against her skin countless times. This time, she would give herself relief.

Lin Yao used all her strength to make a large gash on her wrist with the utility knife.

Before, even using the shower head to cover her crying, she worried about wasting water. At this moment, feeling the water from the shower head wetting her school uniform and washing over her wound, slowly taking away her life, she felt an unprecedented sense of liberation.

At the end of her life, she could finally be carefree, finally no longer have to endure her emotions. She was finally liberated…

When Lin Yao was locked up last time, many teachers who didn’t have classes that day helped to look for her. This time, the exam supervisor noticed Lin Yao’s absence and felt something was wrong, immediately reporting it to Headmaster Liu Youcai.

Liu Youcai was a little worried. The students were all taking exams, and blindly asking students without a specific target would only disturb them. He could only have the security guard check the Physical Education equipment room and the spare equipment room, while he went to check the dormitories himself.

Liu Youcai saw that the dorm supervisor of this dormitory building was absent at this time and felt there was definitely something fishy. Usually, if the students weren’t there, the dorm supervisor slacking off and leaving for a while wouldn’t be a problem, but there weren’t so many coincidences.

Liu Youcai quickly called the dorm supervisor: “It’s work hours; where are you? ”

“I saw that the students had all gone to the exam, so I went to the supermarket to buy some things. ”

Liu Youcai couldn’t find fault with this reason: “Come back quickly; I need the key to dormitory 306. ”

306! Wasn’t that the dormitory where Xu Qiuran, who received the shopping card, lived? And the young girl, Lin Yao, who had been bullied so badly also lived there. The dorm supervisor suddenly had a bad feeling and didn’t bother waiting for the bus; she hailed a taxi and hurried back to school.

As soon as the dormitory door opened, she saw the toilet door jammed with rope and a wooden stick. There was no need for further explanation.

Liu Youcai heard the sound of running water in the toilet, and recalling what the doctor had said about the student’s self-harming tendencies, his heart pounded rapidly. Their school might be in big trouble!

Liu Youcai didn’t bother untying the knots. He searched the students’ desks and quickly found a pair of scissors, cutting the rope. The wooden stick came off easily.

Liu Youcai nervously opened the toilet door. A strong smell of bl00d hit him. The person who should have been sitting against the wall had now fallen to the side due to lack of strength, the terrible wound on her wrist still gushing bl00d with the flow of water.
