Volume 1 Tarot Apostles Chap.16 Jungya's tears
"Rong Ya, why are you crying like this? What happened, was you blackmailed by out-of-school students again? Lesna sat down next to Zhao Rongya, her eyes focused on her face, and whispered eagerly to her.
But Zhao Rongya just shook her head and didn't speak, letting her black hair hang down, Qi bangs and long hair covered her still crying face, and even her sobbing sound was extremely slight, and in the classroom with more and more people, no one noticed her sobbing at all, only Lesna could hear it.
This made Lesna a little nerve-wracking, she scratched her head with her fingers, took out a pack of tissues from her chest pocket and handed it to Zhao Rongya.
"Thank you......" Zhao Rongya's hoarse voice startled Lesna, she held her head with one hand with a sad face, watched Zhao Rongya pull out a few tissues to blow her nose and wipe her tears, and then threw the paper ball into the trash can at her feet.
After Zhao Rongya finished doing this, Lesna leaned forward, lowered her voice and tone and asked her slowly, "... Well, if there's something I can do to help, you can tell me about it, maybe I canβ"
Without waiting for Lesna to finish speaking, Zhao Rongya grabbed her right arm tightly with both hands, leaned her head on her shoulder, and let tears run down the bridge of her nose and the corners of her eyes on Lesina's school uniform, and her long black hair was also stuck to her delicate face by tears.
This made Lesna a little overwhelmed, she froze in her seat, and patted Zhao Rongya's cold hands with her movable left hand to comfort her: "... It's okay if you don't want to say it's okay, although you don't know what's going on, but... It will pass. β
"Rong Ya, are you crying? What happened? Lucas, who returned to her seat, keenly saw Zhao Rongya's abnormality, and hurriedly got up and walked quickly to Zhao Rongya, but she hugged Lesna's right arm, buried her head in her shoulder, and refused to face Lucas.
"It's nothing to do with you, go back!" Lesna feigned impatience and waved her left hand to chase Lucas away like a chicken.
"Okay, I know, I'll leave it to you." Lucas walked away from them with a wry smile on his face.
Waiting until the class bell rang, Zhao Rongya raised her head, wiped away her tears with her hands to make herself look normal, Lesna got up, patted her back with her hand, and when she took a step back, she kept turning her head and staring at her with silent concerned eyes.
During the lesson, Lesna turned her head to look at her from time to time, and after noticing that her face was slowly becoming calmer, she turned her head and continued to sleep on the table.
During the lunch break, when Lesna explained to Yongzi and Lulu that she was going to dine with Cho Yong-ah, they also expressed their understanding, and they went to the cafeteria with Lucas and Maine.
The classroom was soon empty, and when Lesna just took out the bread and milk from her bag, Zhao Rongya came over with an off-white insulated lunch box in both hands, and asked her timidly: "Lesna, together... Let's have lunch, okay? β
"Of course, no problem, let's go." Lesna took Zhao Rongya's wrist with her free right hand and asked her to go with her.
The two came to the open space downstairs, Lesna sat cross-legged, and Zhao Rongya also sat next to her, opening the lunch box, and the aroma of rice and vegetables and beef wafted out.
"So there's something going on." Lesna asked as she took a large bite of bread and looked at her.
ββ¦ Lesna, do you remember what I told you the other day, I spent five kilograms to buy the bottled model..."Zhao Rongya hung her head with a melancholy face, staring at the dishes in the lunch box without picking up chopsticks.
Lesna thought about it for a few seconds, and quickly nodded: "Remember, you said that it hasn't been assembled yet." β
This sentence seemed to pierce Zhao Rongya's heart, and Lesna saw her hands trembling slightly, and then she replied softly in a trembling voice: "Actually... The model had already been assembled, but on that day... My mom and dad... Threw it on the ground and fell apart......"
"Huh...?!" This answer made Lesna frown instantly, she was stunned for a few seconds, and looked at Zhao Rongya with her mouth slightly open, the food residue in her mouth had not yet been swallowed into her stomach.
Then she saw Zhao Rongya swallow a mouthful of saliva, her eyes looking up at the clear blue sky, and the overflowing tears wet her black eyelashes: "They said that playing with this kind of thing would affect my learning, so I hid it from them, stayed up late and secretly put the model back together, but... My favorite Pickerit... By them... Broken... I'm with them... Got a big fight......"
Speaking of the back, Zhao Rongya couldn't hold back any longer, sourness welled up in her eyes, she cried out loud, tears broke like glass beads on the lid of the box, she sobbed and wiped away her tears with her sleeve, and took out a few model fragments from her pocket with her trembling right hand and put them in Lesna's palm.
Looking at the small pile of white plastic pieces lying in the palm of her hand with scratches, Zhao Rongya's heart-rending cry poured into her ears, and a wave of anger instantly rose in Lesina's heart, she pursed her lips and stared at Zhao Rongya's side face, holding the plastic block tightly in her hand.
How can there be parents in this world who hurt their children like this?! This model is extremely important to Rong Ya! Lesna was incredulous, and wailed in her heart.
She once heard some things about Zhao Rongya around other classmates, was strictly disciplined by her parents, checked her mobile phone at any time, there was no entertainment, she could only revolve around studying, this model called Pickerit was her only spiritual support, and she poured all her emotions and love into it.
If it was the group of guys outside the school who hurt Zhao Rongya, she would definitely beat these people until she vomited blood, but it was her family who hurt Zhao Rongya.
ββ¦ I've never seen parents like this, Rong Ya, is there anything I can do to help you? Lesna leaned against Zhao Rongya, put her arm around her with one hand, and patted her shoulder to comfort her in a whisper.
But Zhao Rongya just covered her face with her hands and cried and shook her head, letting the tears slip from her fingers, which made Lesna both sad and headache.
At the end of the lunch break, fifteen minutes before class, Lesna told Myne and Lucas about it, hoping they could help.
ββ¦ I barely ask for help, but there's really nothing I can do about it, so... Please... You're boys, so you know a lot about this, right? Lesna pursed her lips, put her hands in her pockets, and whispered to them awkwardly.
"Ah, you're a step late, my teammate sold it to someone else yesterday, and that person has already gone abroad with the model." Lucas stood beside Maine's seat, shaking his head with a slight regret.
Maine's eyes also left his phone, and he looked up at her: "I checked, it's the main character in the animation "Machine Kingdom" that started last year, the global limited edition assembly model of Pickerit, a total of only two hundred sets were sold, and some of my friends didn't buy it even if they wanted to." β
"Lesna, I've asked my brother, and my brother doesn't have this model either." Lulu walked over with her phone in her hands, followed by Yongzi.
Yongzi stepped forward and said, "My agent's brother does, but that kid won't sell it anyway." β
"After all, it is a global limited edition, and the collection and viewing value is very high, even children know this." Maine folded his arms and leaned back in his chair to speak.
This made Lesna feel like she was in a desperate situation with no one to help, and she put her fingers on her forehead with a sad face, and whispered, "What can I do about this......
"Lesna!" Just when she was at a loss, Wallace's head suddenly appeared outside the class door, and beckoned to her with a joyful expression, motioning for her to pass.
Seeing Wallace's smile, Lesna suddenly furrowed her brows, she walked over quickly, stood in the doorway and asked Wallace, "Is there anything wrong, Wallace?" β
"Are you asking about that model, both Lulu and Naiko asked me about it just now." Wallace leaned on the doorframe with one hand, staring down at Lesna's face.
Hearing this, Lesna sighed heavily, and she replied a little weakly: "Yes, I have a friend who likes that model very much, but it was broken, and she wants to buy another one, but no one has the channel to get it. β
"I have, oh, it looks like this, right?" Wallace pulled out his phone and showed her the photos.
Seeing the new and unopened box and model images in the photo, Lesna gasped and forgot all the unhappiness just now, she was ecstatic and shouted excitedly: "That's right! I've seen it! It's this! How could you have that?! β
"Last year my mom's friend came to visit the house and gave this to me, I didn't like it very much, but I heard that it was a very expensive gift, so I put it in the storage room and locked it up." Wallace finished speaking, and then withdrew his phone.
Lesna stretched out her hands, grabbed Wallace's wrists, looked at him with serious and sincere eyes, and said, "Please, bring it tomorrow, I bought it, and there is no shortage of protection money in my bank card." β
Wallace felt his wrists being tightly pinched in the palms of Lesna's slender and powerful hands, and he looked at Lesna's beautiful face and red eyes full of coldness and rebellion, and the whole person froze in place.
Touching Lesna's skin made him feel his heart beat faster, his cheeks burned, and he tried to answer intermittently, "No... No problem...! β
"Thank you! Wallace! Lesna smiled and squeezed his wrist even tighter, which would have been immediately painful for the other boys to let her go, but Wallace just stared at her face as if she didn't feel the pain at all.
Seeing that Wallace didn't react, Lesna looked down and found that she was holding his wrists, so frightened that Lesna hurriedly let go of her hands, she saw the red marks on Wallace's wrists, and apologized in a whispered embarrassed voice: "I'm sorry, I'm too excited......"
"No, no, it's okay! Then I'll go first, see you tomorrow! With a smile on his face, Wallace turned and walked in the direction of the classroom, looking in a good mood.
Great, so Rong Ya will be very happy, Lesna crossed her hands on her hips, looking at his distant back, although there was no expression on her face, but she was secretly happy in her heart.
The next morning, as soon as Zhao Rongya sat in her seat with a gloomy face, Lesna gently placed a large brown paper bag in front of her, suppressed her joy, and said to Zhao Rongya: "Oh, Rongya, give it to you, you see what this is." β
ββ¦β¦ Ay? Zhao Rongya blinked, slowly took out the box from the brown paper bag, tears suddenly welled up in her eyes, she looked at Lesna, and asked a little choked: "Lesna, this... ...... you this? β
"I got it from Wallace, and he just didn't need it, so I got it from him and gave it to you." Lesna shrugged her shoulders in a pretended blandness.
Zhao Rongya shook her head very firmly, she was about to get up and walk to the door of the classroom: "No, I can't ask for Senior Wallace's things for nothing, I have to... I'll have to pay him......"
"I paid for you, Rongya! Just take it! Seeing this, Lesna hurriedly took her right hand.
Hearing this, Zhao Rongya turned to look at Lesna in disbelief, tears burst out of her eyes again, and she threw herself on Lesna, stretched out her hands and hugged her tightly.
After a few seconds, Zhao Rongya slowly let go, looked at Lesna with bright eyes, and said in a serious tone: "Thank you for helping me like this, but I really can't accept it like this." β
Then she pointed to the box and said to Lesna, "There are exactly fifty parts in it, and I will buy one from you for a hundred kellers until I buy them all, is that okay?" β
This suggestion made Lesna praise Zhao Rongya with admiration in her heart, she nodded, put her hands on Zhao Rongya's shoulders and said, "Of course there is no problem." β
And before I came, I asked Main to put a little magic on the box, and after the model was put together, it couldn't be broken again, and Lesna was happy for her in her heart.
Zhao Rongya showed her old smile at this time, she quickly wiped the tears from her face, took out two pink tickets from her pocket, and put them in Lesna's palm: "This is the ticket for the merchandise sales area of the campus art festival, I got two in advance, take it and go with Senior Wallace." β
"Oh... Okay, thanks. Lesna reached out to take the ticket and slowly returned to her seat.
Seeing all this, Lulu and Yongzi came to her side with a wicked smile on their faces and whispered to her in a joking tone: "If you want to go to the campus art show alone with Wallace, we won't be light bulbs." β
"You're annoying." Lesna retorted with a slightly impatient expression, but her hands held the two tickets as if they were treasures, and then she lowered her head to stare at the tickets, a light smoke and soft anticipation quietly rising in her heart.
