In Every Life [Jenlisa]

Chapter 19

As darkness fell, the lights outside the residential area shone brightly, illuminating the wide road as if it were daytime.

In the cold December wind, the girl lifted her eyes, her peach blossom eyes sparkling and charming.

Her voice was soft and gentle: "We've reached. Thank you for taking me back."

Lisa lowered his head, trying to hide his wound, but revealing his reddened earlobes.

With the bright lights here, he must look extremely ugly now.

Unconsciously, he murmured, "Um, thank you for your medicine."

The tall and upright young man lowered his head slightly, looking like a little milk dog that had done something wrong, with a cute fluffy top.

Jennie tried hard to suppress the corners of her mouth from turning up, and whispered, "It's okay. Don't fight again next time. Not only will you hurt yourself, but you'll also be punished by the school."

"Mhmm," the young man said with a hint of reluctance in his voice, his dark eyes lowered. "Then, I'll go now'?"

Jennie nodded.

The cold wind outside the residential complex made Lisa's figure seem longer as it disappeared into the silent night of the city.

That night, Jennie couldn't sleep well. Her dreams were filled with images of the young man being punished.

His usually straight back was slightly bent, and his lips were bruised and purple as he stood on the high podium, reading his apology letter word by word.

The December air in the city was cold and dry, with the howling wind passing by.

The people below looked at him with disdain and contempt.

Life seemed to have returned to its original state.

Lisa no longer spoke and always sat in the corner of the classroom, never saying a word.

This included to her as well. The moonlight shone through the window, and the girl lying in bed suddenly opened her eyes.

Despite it being a cold December, Jennie was sweating profusely, with strands of wet hair sticking to her fair face. She gasped for air with her mouth wide open.

Her heart was pounding like crazy, and she felt her blood gradually turning cold.

She couldn't let this happen, she couldn't let Lisa face punishment.

The cold wind blew into the room, and the wind chimes on the windowsill swayed slightly.

In the darkness, Jennie leaned against her pillow, feeling her drowsiness fade away.

She had to find a way to make Wang Yan admit to what he had done and make Song Xinyu pay the price.

Early Saturday morning, the phone rang and woke Jennie up.

She groggily reached for her phone and answered it.

"Jennie, are you awake? If you are, I'll send the driver to pick you up?" Mino asked. The sunlight shone through the window, casting a golden hue on the off-white blanket.

Jennie turned over and mumbled, "I'm still in bed. Can you tell Uncle Wang to come in an hour?"

"Sure, I'll let him know," the voice on the other end replied.

After hanging up, Jennie set a 45-minute alarm and dozed off.

An hour later, Jennie casually put on a coat, grabbed her backpack, and headed out the door.
