Chapter 526 You are looking for me

After a while, Wang Huaiyuan was called over by Lin Ke.

"Brother Lin Ke, are you looking for me?" Wang Huaiyuan stood at the door, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Come in." Lin Ke's voice was cold, without any warmth.

Wang Huaiyuan walked into the room and was stunned when he saw Li Ling's red and swollen eyes and the scars on his arms.

"What...what's going on?" Wang Huaiyuan asked in surprise.

"Ask her." Lin Ke pointed at Li Ling with obvious suspicion in his tone.

"Li Ling, you..." Wang Huaiyuan looked at Li Ling, his eyes full of doubts.

"Wang Huaiyuan, why do you do this to me?" Li Ling asked crying.

"I...I didn't..." Wang Huaiyuan waved his hands hurriedly, he had no idea what was happening.

"You still want to quibble!" Li Ling pointed to the scar on his arm, "This is what you pinched!"

"I didn't! I didn't touch you at all!" Wang Huaiyuan's face turned red with anxiety.

Lin Ke looked into Wang Huaiyuan's eyes. There was no dodge in them, only sincerity and confusion.

"Li Ling, come here." Lin Ke's voice was low, but with unquestionable majesty.

Li Ling shrank and moved slowly to Lin Ke's side.

"Look into my eyes." Lin Ke's eyes were sharp, as if he could penetrate everything.

Li Ling did not dare to look directly into Lin Ke's eyes, his eyes were wandering.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Lin Ke's voice was filled with disappointment.

"I...I..." Li Ling hesitated and was speechless for a long time.

"Tell the truth!" Lin Ke's voice suddenly rose, making Li Ling tremble.

"I...I..." Li Ling's tears rolled down like broken beads.

"What are you trying to hide?" Lin Ke's patience was about to run out.

"I...I don't want you to hate me..." Li Ling's voice was as thin as a gnat.

"So you lied?" Lin Ke's tone was full of disappointment and anger.

"I...I was wrong..." Li Ling admitted with tears.

"Why did you do that?" Lin Ke wanted to know her motive for lying.

"I...I'm jealous of Wang Huaiyuan..." Li Ling's voice became smaller and smaller.

"Why are you jealous of him?" Lin Ke was puzzled.

"Jealous about him...jealous about him being able to play with you..." Li Ling finally said what was in his heart.

"Is it because of this?" Lin Ke couldn't believe his ears.

"I...I don't want you to be with him..." Li Ling cried so hard.

"So you made up lies to frame him?" Lin Ke's voice was full of chill.

"No, it's not like that!" Li Ling shook his head desperately, tears covering his cheeks, like a frightened deer.

"What's that like?" Lin Ke's voice was as cold as ice, and his eyes were full of disappointment and suspicion.

"I...I..." Li Ling spoke incoherently, his mind spinning rapidly, trying to make up a more reasonable lie.

"Li Ling, do you know what I hate the most?" Lin Ke's voice suddenly became gentle, which made Li Ling feel even more frightened.

"Wha...what?" Li Ling's voice trembled, like a fallen leaf in the wind.

"I hate people lying to me the most." Lin Ke's tone was soft, but like a sharp blade, it pierced Li Ling's heart.

"I didn't..." Li Ling still wanted to argue, but was defeated under Lin Ke's eyes.

"You don't need to say any more." Lin Ke interrupted her, his tone full of determination.

"Brother Lin Ke, please listen to my explanation..." Li Ling wanted to make a final struggle, but found that Lin Ke had already turned around and left.

"I will go to the school to investigate clearly." Lin Ke's voice came from a distance, like a thunder, exploding in Li Ling's ears.

"Brother Lin Ke, I was wrong." Li Ling cried so hard that her voice was choked with sobs.

"What's wrong?" Lin Ke's voice was without any warmth, and his eyes were as sharp as knives.

"I shouldn't...shouldn't lie to you." Li Ling bit her lip, tears falling down like broken beads.

"What else?" Lin Ke pressed forward step by step, not giving her any chance to breathe. "And... and..." Li Ling hesitated, not daring to tell the truth.

"Say!" Lin Ke roared angrily, making Li Ling tremble all over.

"I... pinched myself." Li Ling's voice was as thin as a mosquito, his head almost buried in his chest.

"What?" Lin Ke suspected that he heard wrongly and frowned even more.

"I pinched myself." Li Ling repeated, his voice slightly louder, but still full of fear.

"Why are you doing this?" Lin Ke's voice was full of confusion and anger.

"I...I..." Li Ling was incoherent and didn't know how to explain.

"Say!" Lin Ke roared again, making Li Ling tremble all over.

"I...I'm jealous of Wang Huaiyuan." Li Ling finally told the truth, his voice full of shame and regret.

"Why are you jealous of him?" Lin Ke's voice was still cold, but there was a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

"Jealous of him...jealous of his good grades, jealous of his popularity." Li Ling's voice became smaller and smaller, almost inaudible.

"So you harmed yourself and then blamed him?" Lin Ke's voice was full of disappointment and anger.

"I...I was wrong." Li Ling cried harder, and his body kept shaking.

"Brother Lin Ke, can I apply to live on campus?"

Wang Huaiyuan lowered his head and hummed in a low voice like a mosquito.

Lin Ke put down the script in his hand and looked at the thin boy in front of him with interest.

"Live on campus? Why do you suddenly want to live on campus?"

"I think... I want to study hard."

Wang Huaiyuan's voice became even softer, his head almost buried in his chest.

"Isn't it good to study at home?"

Lin Ke stood up, walked to Wang Huaiyuan, and looked at him condescendingly.

"It's too noisy at home...it's too noisy at home."

There was an imperceptible tremor in Wang Huaiyuan's voice.

"Quarrel?"

Lin Ke raised his eyebrows. He knew Wang Huaiyuan's family situation. His parents were divorced and he lived with his alcoholic father.

"Ah."

Wang Huaiyuan bit his lip, not daring to raise his head to look into Lin Ke's eyes.

"What about living expenses if I live on campus?"

There was no emotion in Lin Ke's voice.

"I can...I can work-study."

Wang Huaiyuan's tone was full of determination.

“Work-study?”

Lin Ke chuckled, this child is really naive.

"Well, I can help in the cafeteria, or organize books in the library."

Wang Huaiyuan raised his head, his eyes full of desire.

Lin Ke was silent for a moment, then turned back and sat down on the sofa.

“It’s OK to live on campus, but it’s exempt from the work-study program.”

Lin Ke's voice was filled with unquestionable majesty.

"But……"

Wang Huaiyuan wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Lin Ke.

"No but, I will help you with your living expenses."

There was a hint of gentleness in Lin Ke's voice that was imperceptible.

"Huaiyuan, I heard that you live on campus?"
