Regarding the rumor that disgraced her 'innocence', Xiao Tu was furious. She pondered for a whole day on how she would get revenge on Ling Chao, but unfortunately, when school was over, she still hadn't thought of a method.

Feeling injustice, Xiao Tu ran home like a wisp of smoke without paying attention to Ling Chao.

She ran all the way to the courtyard gate, only to remember that she had forgotten her key this morning, unable to enter the house.

Xiao Tu paced back and forth in front of the entrance for a bit, wondering if she should climb the wall to get in. Then, she saw that Ling Chao had slowly and unhurriedly caught up with her.

"Hey, did you bring your keys?" She asked in a blunt tone.

Ling Chao touched his pockets and shook his head.

Xiao Tu was already angry and this made her even angrier. Pulling up her sleeves, she prepared to climb the wall. But suddenly, she calmed down, turned her head and meaningfully sized up Ling Chao.

At that moment, Ling Chao was leaning on a tree, preparing to wait for the adults to come back. Sensing that Xiao Tu's eyes were flickering with the radiance of a plot, he vigilantly asked, "What are you plotting?"

Xiao Tu pointed at the wall while speaking to him, "Climb the wall and help me open the door."

Ling Chao looked at the wall that was easily the height of two people, and resolutely refused, "I won't climb it."

Xiao Tu said: "If I don't go inside, Little Green will starve to death." Little Green was the green turtle she was raising.

"It's a tortoise, it won't starve to death."

"No! I need to go and feed it!" Xiao Tu displayed her shamelessness clearly.

Ling Chao knitted his brows, "Why aren't you climbing it then?"

"Because I'm a girl... " When Xiao Tu said this softly, she did indeed look like a girl.

Ling Chao bit his lips, seeming to want to say something, but hr didn't say it. After a while, he put his backpack down and walked towards Xiao Tu.

"You go up, I'll act a pad down here." Said Xiao Tu, as she crouched down.

Ling Chao hesitated for a bit, but in the end, he stepped on Xiao Tu's shoulders.

"Don't move around randomly." This was his first time climbing a wall, and he inevitably felt nervous. His voice appeared to lack confidence.

Xiao Tu verbally agreed, but her body still swayed side to side.

"Don't move!" Ling Chao yelled.

"I know already, just hurry and climb!" Xiao Tu urged.

Ling Chao groaned while clenching his teeth. He wanted to put his arm on the wall to pull himself up.

Suddenly, the person under him unexpectedly swayed for a moment.

"Ah!"

He called out, as his body was unable to maintain its balance.

After a muffled sound, both of them fell onto the ground. The difference was that Xiao Tu was sitting on the ground with a satisfied look on her face from achieving revenge. And Ling Chao was lying on the ground, tightly gripping his ankle with both hands. His face showed that he was in so much pain that he couldn't endure it.

That's right, he broke his leg.

Later, when the adults returned, they immediately took Ling Chao to the nearby hospital. When the X-ray came out, the doctor said that Ling Chao's right ankle had a fracture, and he would have to wear a cast for half a month.
