28: Chapter 28: The Mute Sister 28: Chapter 28: The Mute Sister In Heaven, there wasn’t any tobacco, but there was a kind of Immortal Elixir. After taking it, one would feel light and airy, almost transcendent. In the mortal world, Ye Qiu thought that perhaps only drugs could provide the same pleasure as the Immortal Elixirs in Heaven. Now, seeing this cigarette, Ye Qiu wanted to try it because he hadn’t tested it in Heaven before. The Furong Wang brand given to him by the security guard of Rose Garden, Ye Qiu had given them all to his father, Ye Weidong. If he had known Li Shen liked it, he would have brought a pack for him to try. “My dad has known for a long time that I smoke and that I take his cigarettes. But since middle school, I’ve been like this. At first, my dad cared; now he doesn’t,” Li Shen lit the cigarette, took a deep drag, and coughed as he exhaled the smoke. Seeing Li Shen, tall and thin, smoking now, Ye Qiu initially thought his thinness was related to his smoking. After a quick glance at Li Shen, Ye Qiu realized that Li Shen’s overall health was average. Although cigarettes might cause him to cough, they didn’t seem to cause other problems. “My dad doesn’t allow me to smoke. If he finds out I smoke, he might even beat me to death!” Zhu Zhiming said after lighting up. As for Ye Qiu, they both knew that Ye Qiu had rarely smoked before. After lighting one for Ye Qiu now, Ye Qiu took a drag and felt a bit of something. However, he found that it was quite ordinary, completely different from the transcendental feeling of tasting the Immortal Elixirs in Heaven. “Ye Qiu, you still like that Su Luoluo, don’t you?” Li Shen asked. Since the first year of high school, Li Shen and Zhu Zhiming were well aware that Ye Qiu liked Su Luoluo a lot. However, they knew that Ye Qiu and Su Luoluo were from entirely different worlds. First of all, judging by their family backgrounds, Ye Qiu’s parents only ran a porridge and noodle shop. Earning several thousand yuan a month was already considered good. But as for Su Luoluo, they knew the Su family was a major clan in Jinling, so Ye Qiu’s family and Su Luoluo’s family were worlds apart. Not to mention, if they compared the academic performances of Ye Qiu and Su Luoluo, Su Luoluo was the top student of the entire grade and would definitely get into a prestigious university. But Ye Qiu was the last in the class, and not to mention a prestigious university, he might not even get into a regular college. The two of them felt that Ye Qiu had done enough, liking Su Luoluo from the first year of high school until now, and almost losing his life that night for her. Ye Qiu didn’t say anything. This current Su Luoluo was the one the previous Ye Qiu liked. The current Ye Qiu, however, didn’t like the present Su Luoluo. Seeing Ye Qiu not speaking, Li Shen and Zhu Zhiming thought they had guessed right. “She’s really beautiful, and every man likes her. But she and we are from two different worlds, so it’s better to stay away from her,” Zhu Zhiming said. Ye Qiu nodded. But it wasn’t because of Zhu Zhiming’s words; it was because he knew that the current him was not the old Ye Qiu. Moreover, it was Su Luoluo in his previous life who had him harmed to death by his childhood friend. This current Su Luoluo looked similar to that Su Luoluo. Whenever Ye Qiu saw her, he felt an indescribable pain. “I heard that your parents had arranged a fiancée for you in the first year of high school. I think she seems more suitable for you,” Li Shen joked. The fiancée that Li Shen and Zhu Zhiming referred to was He Xiaoqing. Both of them had seen her before. She looked quite ordinary. But given Ye Qiu’s family conditions and personal circumstances, they thought He Xiaoqing was the most suitable match for Ye Qiu. “Her? I already broke off the engagement with her last night. I’ve never liked her. I’ve made it clear to my parents; we have nothing to do with each other anymore,” Ye Qiu said. Li Shen and Zhu Zhiming hadn’t expected Ye Qiu to break off the engagement. Could it be because the other party wasn’t pretty enough, or was it because he still liked that Su Luoluo! “Is it because of Su Luoluo?” Zhu Zhiming asked. “No, I have no feelings for He Xiaoqing. I don’t want to be with her, which has nothing to do with Su Luoluo.” Had that been the case, Li Shen and Zhu Zhiming might have understood why Ye Qiu did what he did. After all, they knew that in today’s era, being forced by parents to be with someone you don’t like is really tough. Moreover, spending a lifetime together would be even less likely. The three of them stayed on the rooftop, chatting, until their nap break ended, and then they came down from the rooftop. As they entered the classroom from the back door, Li Shen said, “Ye Qiu, since you no longer like Su Luoluo, why not request a seat change from the teacher and join us in the back row? That way, we can chat, play on our phones, and read novels together.” “We’ll see,” Ye Qiu replied. The classmates had all returned by now. Among them, there was one girl in the class who had a pretty good relationship with Ye Qiu. She was also very beautiful, comparable to Su Luoluo. But she had one significant difference. She couldn’t speak because she was mute. However, her hearing was normal; she just lost her voice due to vocal cord issues, which caused her to be mute since elementary school. Generally speaking, it’s usually “ten deaf, nine mute,” not “ten mute, nine deaf.” This mute girl had vocal cord issues that developed later on, rendering her mute, but her hearing was normal. Despite her good looks and excellent academic performance, others often looked at the beautiful mute girl, Liu Lingxiu, with discriminatory eyes, viewing her through tinted lenses. Liu Lingxiu was able to attend Jiangbei No. 3 Middle School like other students partly because of her excellent grades and the fact that one of her uncles was the Deputy Director of the Academic Affairs Office there. However, since she couldn’t speak, she had to rely on sign language or writing to communicate with others. Because none of the classmates knew sign language, Liu Lingxiu usually communicated with them and the teachers through writing. Sёarᴄh the nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Possibly due to this reason, despite her beauty and academic excellence, she had few close friends in the class, much like Ye Qiu. Ye Qiu’s relationship with her was relatively good. The reason might be that the original Ye Qiu understood the feelings of disabled people because his sister’s right leg had mobility issues, so he didn’t discriminate against Liu Lingxiu. Back then, however, Ye Qiu’s relationship with Ye Xue was quite ordinary too. Seeing Ye Qiu enter the classroom, Liu Lingxiu’s bright, spirited eyes sparkled as she kept looking at him. She knew that Ye Qiu had been hit by a car while saving Su Luoluo and was then sent to the hospital for treatment. During that time, her parents and Zhu Zhiming had visited the hospital to see Ye Qiu. Of the girls in their class, she was the only one who had visited Liu Lingxiu. So, after waking up, Ye Qiu knew who Liu Lingxiu was. However, due to the issues with Su Luoluo in Heaven, Ye Qiu had also ignored this pitiful mute girl, Liu Lingxiu.
