Became the Terminally Ill Supporting Male Lead’s Rabbit Spirit - Chapter 11 - Part 2

Chapter 11 part 2

In the early morning, students gradually entered the school gate.

A luxury car stopped at the entrance, attracting everyone’s attention. Many recognized that this car had picked up the transfer student, Fu Baili, the day before.

Sure enough, the next moment, the car door opened and Fu Baili stepped out.

He wasn’t wearing the school uniform but was dressed in a handsome black casual outfit, looking so dashing that it made people around him want to scream in admiration.

Throughout, Fu Baili ignored everyone and walked coolly into the school.

“Ah, is that the transfer student from the next class? He’s so handsome, no wonder yesterday’s forum was filled with posts about him,” a short-haired girl said to the school’s renowned beauty, Jiang Mengqi.

Jiang Mengqi slowly came back to her senses, her chin lifted slightly, and her eyes filled with pride, “Fu Baili is the sole heir to the Fu family in S city.” When she heard Fu Baili’s name yesterday, she felt it was familiar and specially asked her father about it. She didn’t expect him to be the real heir of the Fu family.

Though her family was wealthy, compared to the Fu family, they were leagues apart.

“Fu family?” The short-haired girl looked puzzled.

“You don’t need to know. It’s not a level you can access,” Jiang Mengqi said with palpable arrogance.

The short-haired girl nodded, “Oh, Mengqi, look, it’s Lu Zhe.” Being Jiang Mengqi’s sidekick, she knew well about Jiang Mengqi’s previous crush on Lu Zhe.

Lu Zhe was handsome and academically outstanding, a prominent figure in the school before.

However, since his background and the revelation of his terminal illness were exposed on the forum by his younger sister, Zhao Youyou, his revered status had been dramatically reduced.

Nowadays, people paid him little attention.

Jiang Mengqi looked in the direction the short-haired girl was pointing at, and indeed, it was Lu Zhe.

Seeing him in his school uniform, standing upright with a cold face, Lu Zhe looked as unpleasant to her now as he had once been attractive.

She averted her eyes, “There’s nothing worth looking at. Don’t mention him in front of me.”

When Lu Zhe arrived in the classroom and settled into his seat, Li Dongliang, who was previously greeting Fu Baili, came over immediately, “Brother Zhe, you’re here.”

“Quick, bring out your little rabbit. I brought a turtle today, and I want to have them race!” Li Dongliang had a fondness for fluffy pets. Unfortunately, he couldn’t keep one. Settling for the next best thing, he chose to keep turtles.

He excitedly took out his pet from a transparent box.

Lu Zhe gave him a brief, indifferent glance, “I didn’t bring the rabbit.”

Thinking of the ‘rabbit’ at home and then looking at the turtle in front of him, Lu Zhe curled his lips, “Even if I did bring it, my rabbit wouldn’t race with your turtle.”

Hearing that Lu Zhe didn’t bring the rabbit, Li Dongliang wailed, “How could you not bring it? Don’t you feel lonely during class without stroking the rabbit? Don’t your hands itch?”

“No.”

Li Dongliang looked deflated, putting his turtle back into its box with distaste. Without seeing the rabbit, his mood for the day was ruined.

During the morning session, the last period was supposed to be a math class, but the math teacher had something come up, so the class was swapped with the afternoon self-study period.

During the self-study period, many students were diligently working on problems, especially with the college entrance exams approaching, they had to buckle down.

However, the atmosphere at the back row was entirely different.

Lu Zhe answered the questions quickly and accurately. He had finished a test paper ahead of time and was now reading other books. Meanwhile, Li Dongliang moved his chair next to Fu Baili, and the two of them were playing a game.

The elders of Li Dongliang’s family have cooperated with the Fu family several times, so Li Dongliang and Fu Baili could be considered acquaintances.

If Su Ci were here, she would definitely mock Li Dongliang as one of the three major followers of the male lead, Fu Baili.

“Brother Li, why did you come to D city? And transfer to Yi High School?” Li Dongliang was purely having fun, thinking that playing games was less interesting than playing with a rabbit.

Fu Baili casually leaned against the chair back, his fingers moving quickly, “My grandmother is not in good health, so I accompanied her back to relax. It doesn’t matter where I study.”

Li Dongliang nodded in agreement, thinking that for academic underachievers like them, switching schools simply meant changing where they sleep and play games.

He glanced sideways at Lu Zhe, wondering why they needed to study as seriously as Lu Zhe did?

However, being consistently ranked first in the grade and leading the second place by more than twenty points was indeed impressive. Despite being a poor student himself, Li Dongliang admired Lu Zhe’s academic prowess.

The bell rang, signaling the end of the class.

Lu Zhe quickly packed his books into his backpack and got up to leave.

“Brother Zhe, are you going home for lunch?” Li Dongliang asked, looking up at Lu Zhe passing by.

“Yes.”

“Remember to bring the rabbit in the afternoon. I even bought a pretty pink bow for it. It’ll definitely look good with it on,” Li Dongliang said, trying to flatter.

“I won’t bring it,” Lu Zhe replied as he headed out.

Li Dongliang’s face fell, and he lost interest in playing his game. Meeting Fu Baili’s curious gaze, he quickly shared, “Lu Zhe has a super cute little white rabbit.”

Fu Baili lowered his head and continued playing his game, clearly uninterested.

When Lu Zhe returned to his residence, it was exactly twelve at noon.

As soon as Lu Zhe opened the door, the girl immediately greeted him, “You’re back?”

Su Ci was still wearing his oversized black T-shirt on her upper body, and she barely managed to wear a pair of trousers on the bottom. The trouser legs were rolled up several times, revealing only her slender ankles.

Lu Zhe placed a pair of white cloth shoes in front of her. He had bought them on his way back. “I wasn’t sure about your shoe size. Wear these for now. If they don’t fit, we can get another pair later.”

“Thank you,” Su Ci replied, not one to turn down such an offer.

She picked up the shoes and went over to the sofa to try them on. As she slipped her feet into them, it was evident they were too big—there was a gap at least two fingers wide at the heel.

But it was better than wearing his shoes.

“Alright, let’s go.”

Except for the last time she transformed back into human to save Xiao Kuaile, this was her second time going out as a human.

However, just a few steps out of the community, Su Ci’s excitement faded. She noticed that the soles of the white cloth shoes were very hard. Clearly, they were cheap shoes with no quality. She wasn’t sure if it was because of her rabbit state, but even when transformed as a human, her feet remained extremely sensitive. The shoes were uncomfortable.

As Lu Zhe walked ahead, he suddenly felt his clothes being tugged.

Looking down, the girl’s pale fingertips were wrapped around his hem again.

He turned back and instantly met Su Ci’s glossy, deep black eyes.

“Lu Zhe, are we walking there?” she asked hesitantly, “How far is it? My feet hurt.”

Hearing Su Ci’s complaint, he frowned. From the building to the main gate, they hadn’t walked much. And it was only a little over ten minutes’ walk to the mall from here. He hadn’t planned on taking a cab.

Worried that he might not believe her, Su Ci effortlessly slipped off the loose white shoe to show Lu Zhe her foot.

Under the sunlight, the girl’s feet were as white as jade, petite in size. Due to the oversized shoes, Su Ci had to shift her weight forward, causing the edges of her rounded toes to turn red from the friction.

The last time she went out wearing his shoes, her feet had developed blisters. But back then, she had transformed into a rabbit, and Lu Zhe carried her, so she didn’t need to walk on her own.

Lu Zhe had grown up tough, having been raised in an orphanage. Back then, he’d wear clothes and shoes until they were tattered, and even after being adopted by the Zhao family, he wasn’t fussy about his attire, wearing anything as long as it was wearable.

This was the first time he realized that there were people in the world so delicate that just a few steps could cause their feet to chafe.
