Chapter 211 The School Beauty Was Stolen
Chapter 211 The School Beauty Was Stolen
Just as Qiu Ziyue was in a daze, a gentle breeze suddenly swept across the windowsill, accompanied by a few clear birdsongs.
She turned her head and saw a brightly colored parrot fly in through the window and land steadily on her shoulder.
This parrot has bright and eye-catching feathers, with its wings adorned with vibrant colors such as blue, green, red, and yellow.
It was Caiyu.
"Master, Master, we've finally found you!"
Caiyu flapped its wings happily and chirped in its clear and melodious voice.
Qiu Ziyue was taken aback at first, then a surprised smile appeared on her face.
She gently stroked Caiyu's feathers, a feeling of warmth and joy welling up inside her.
"What a beautiful parrot! Would you like to keep me company?"
Qiu Ziyue asked softly.
Caiyu tilted her head, seemingly observing Qiu Ziyue's changes, then jumped up and down a few times happily, saying:
"Master, I'm back! I've been looking for you all this time, and I've finally found you today!"
Qiu Ziyue smiled as she held the colorful feather in her hands and examined it carefully.
The return of Aya seemed to bring a touch of comfort to this day filled with mystery.
Caiyu seemed to see through her thoughts and gently pecked Qiu Ziyue's fingers with her beak to comfort her.
It looked around and found Jingyun sleeping peacefully in bed, then whispered:
“Little master is here too, she’s sleeping so soundly.”
Qiu Ziyue nodded gently, her gaze soft as she looked at the sleeping Jingyun.
She decided to take good care of Aya and make Seki a part of her life.
"Little parrot, what's your name?"
"My name is Aya, Master. Have you forgotten?"
"Okay, I'll be discharged tomorrow. Will you stay with us from now on?"
"Yes, Master."
Caiyu chirped happily a few times, seemingly responding to Qiu Ziyue's promise.
It spread its wings, flew lightly around the room, and finally landed steadily on Qiu Ziyue's shoulder.
Together they quietly watched over Jingyun as she slept.
The next day, Qiu Ziyue's mother picked her up from the hospital.
Qiu Ziyue came from a well-off family when she was young. Her mother was a high school math teacher and her father was a civil servant.
At that time, they lived in a spacious and bright house, which was elegantly decorated and filled with a warm atmosphere.
However, when Qiu Ziyue returned home, the scene before her eyes made her feel heartbroken.
She stood at the doorway, gazing at the simple residential area before her, and a sense of indescribable loss welled up within her.
The familiar streets and neighbors are nowhere to be seen.
Instead, there are narrow roads and a few old buildings that look quite dated.
She slowly walked into her new home and found that the furnishings were very simple, even somewhat shabby.
"How could it have turned out like this?"
Qiu Ziyue muttered to herself, her gaze sweeping over the simple furniture and mottled walls, her heart filled with doubt and unease.
Noticing Qiu Ziyue's emotional reaction, her mother sighed, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes:
“Since you became a vegetable, your father also got sick, and the medical expenses have been very high. We had to sell our big house and move here.”
"It's a bit small now, but at least it can still provide shelter from the wind and rain."
Looking at her mother's tired face, Qiu Ziyue felt a pang of guilt and heartache.
She knew that her parents had sacrificed so much for her, and now she had to be strong and take on the responsibilities of her family.
Qiu Ziyue is now 17 years old, which is a crucial stage in her high school years.
The mother felt sorry that Qiu Ziyue had wasted so many years of her studies, but still wanted Qiu Ziyue to go back to school.
"Ziyue, I'll contact the school tomorrow and let her continue her studies," her mother said.
"Mother, I haven't been to school for so many years, am I still okay?" Qiu Ziyue asked uncertainly.
"Give it a try," the mother sighed.
"Then Mother, what will happen to Jingyun? I'm going to school now, and there will be no one to take care of Jingyun."
"If it doesn't work, then Jingyun should be given away. We can't let a child of unknown origin interfere with your schooling."
"No, Mother, how about this? I'll sell the gold jewelry I brought tomorrow and get some money to hire a nanny to take care of Jingyun, okay?"
"Alright, let's leave it at that for now."
The mother sighed.
On the third day, Qiu Ziyue found an antique shop to pawn her gold jewelry.
Surprisingly, the antique shop owner hired an expert to conduct an evaluation.
Experts say the gold ornaments all date back to the Tang Dynasty and are valued at over ten million.
This is fantastic news.
Qiu Ziyue sold two gold hairpins, bringing back 500 million yuan, but kept only one as a souvenir.
She happily handed some of the money to her mother, and then contacted an agency to find a nanny, Aunt Liu, to take care of Jingyun.
She used some of the money to buy back the old house and moved in with her mother.
After everything was done, Qiu Ziyue carried her schoolbag and went to her mother's school.
As Qiu Ziyue stepped into the gates of her new school, she felt both nervous and excited.
The campus is shaded by green trees, and the buildings are brand new and clean. Everything seems so unfamiliar yet full of vitality.
She entered Class 1 of Grade 11 with aspirations for the future. Class 1 of Grade 11 was the top class.
When Qiu Ziyue was brought to the classroom by her homeroom teacher, Ms. Yang, the students were extremely excited.
Rumors about Qiu Ziyue are rampant, with many saying that she became a vegetable nine years ago and has only recently woken up.
The male students were all smiles when they saw how beautiful Qiu Ziyue was, which showed their warm welcome and approval.
"Wow, Qiu Ziyue is so pretty, much prettier than school beauty Gong Xiaoxiao!"
As soon as Qiu Ziyue entered the classroom, she immediately felt unusual gazes.
The male students looked at her with curiosity and admiration, and they all gave her friendly smiles.
Several boys even stood up to greet her warmly.
"Hello, you must be Qiu Ziyue, the new student? Welcome to our class!"
A tall, handsome boy smiled and handed over a note that read:
"Don't hesitate to ask if you need any help."
Another boy wearing glasses also came over and said modestly:
"My name is Li Ming. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. I'd be happy to help."
Qiu Ziyue smiled somewhat embarrassedly and thanked her repeatedly.
Her gentleness and politeness won the favor of more male classmates, and soon several boys surrounded her, vying to show their friendliness.
However, not everyone welcomed Qiu Ziyue's arrival.
Gong Xiaoxiao, sitting in the corner, frowned, a hint of dissatisfaction flashing in her eyes.
She was the undisputed beauty queen of the class and had always been the object of admiration for the male students.
Now, Qiu Ziyue's appearance has clearly threatened her position.
"Hmph, don't they even know their own worth? What makes them so popular?"
Gong Xiaoxiao muttered under her breath, a disdainful expression on her face.
During the break between classes, several girls huddled together, whispering about Qiu Ziyue.
"Look, all those boys are hanging around her, it's so annoying."
One of the girls complained.
"Yes, Gong Xiaoxiao must be unhappy. She's used to being the center of attention."
Another girl chimed in.
Gong Xiaoxiao, standing to the side, felt even more resentful upon hearing these words.
She decided to find an opportunity to teach Qiu Ziyue a lesson and show her who the real protagonist was.
