Chapter 939 Lying
Ke was surrounded in a narrow corner not far from the buffet by Bertha and some other girls.
"What do you want to do?" Ke was frightened by them, and asked with a trembling voice when
lowering her head.
Crossing her arms, Bertha stared at her fiercely and questioned, "Did Sampson lend you the umbre
Ke anxiously stirred her fingers, lowered her head and hesitated. She didn''t know whether she
should tell the truth or not.
If she didn''t tell the truth, she would be in trouble if they knew it.
If she told the truth, she would probably be in trouble because of their jealousy.
She was in a dilemma. Thinking for a while, Ke decided to tell the truth. Perhaps these girls didn''t
dare to hurt her for the sake of Sampson.
"Yes... It''s truth." Ke answered.
The other girls were surprised, then became envious and contemptuous. Ann sneered incredulously,

"Ke, are you kidding me? Why did Sampson give you an umbre?"
To be honest, Ke didn''t know why.
She raised her head slightly and said gingerly, "Sampson''s umbre is still in my drawer."
Bertha was the calmest one among them, and she was the leader. She looked at Ke for a while and
ordered, "Take off your sses."
Everyone was confused, and so was Ke. She looked up at Bertha in a daze, and saw the impatience
in her eyes. Ke quickly took off her sses.
In fact, Ke''s eyes were beautiful, but the ck sses covered them. The thick bangs were
drooping over the eyelids, and now she was timidly rolling her eyes, looking very innocent.
Ann and the othersughed loudly.
"Stand still. Lift up your bangs." Bertha ordered again.
Ke was stunned. She had never lifted her bangs, and for the first time she wanted to resist.
For her, bangs had always given her a sense of security. If she lifted them up, her whole face would be
exposed to the air, and she would be exposed to the public.
Someone would gossip about her.
She shook her head and took half a step back to refuse.
Bertha didn''t bother to talk to Ke anymore. She asked Ann and several girls to suppress Ke, took
a hair tip from her own hair and quickly stuck Ke''s thick bangs on her head.
Her smooth forehead was exposed, and the girls finally saw Ke''s face.
Ke could be described as good-looking. She was a pretty girl with a round face.
Her skin was fair and tender, but her appearance was usually covered by bangs and sses.
Seeing her face clearly, Bertha paused and suddenly said, "Why do I feel that you look a little familiar?
Which middle school are you from?"
Ke panicked. She took off the clip from her head and quickly put on her sses. She avoided eye
contact with Bertha and said, "We didn''t know each other before. Is there anything else? If not, I''ll go."
As she spoke, she bent down and was about to leave, but was stopped by Ann and several girls.
"Wait!" Bertha stopped her.
Ke swallowed nervously.
"Sampson is nice to you." Bertha said in a calm tone. She walked to Ke, and put a hand on her
shoulder. The strength was just enough to suppress her.
"I think you have a good rtionship with Sound. Do you know there is a grudge between Sampson
and her?" Bertha continued, "She is at odds with Sampson. Sampson lent you an umbre and got wet
in the rain. Why do you make friends with his enemy?"
"Ke, don''t you think you are wrong?"
Ke was confused. She didn''t know why it had something to do with Sound.
Looking at her puzzled expression, Bertha only felt annoyed. How could this girl be so stupid? She
threatened Ke, "There is some time before the ss ends. Bring Sound to theb building."
"What... What do you want to do?" Ke had a bad feeling.
Bertha shouted impatiently, "Just do what I order. Don''t ask about the reason."
Ke trembled with fear. Bertha continued to threaten her, "Don''t let her know it was me who asked
you to do so. Otherwise, you won''t have a good life in the No. 3 High School."
"But," Ke said in a trembling voice, "why do you ask me to take Sound to theb building? I''m afraid
I can''t persuade her."
Bertha was not a good girl. There must be no good thing for them to make Sound there. Ke knew
she couldn''t do it.
Ann cut in, "Isn''t it simple? Didn''t Gio punish Sound for cleaning the toilet of theb building this
morning? You can ask her to go there with this excuse."
"But... But..."
Ke was about to argue, but was interrupted ruthlessly by Bertha, "No buts! It''s not strange to do the
cleaning in the P.E. ss. She doesn''t have to go after school."
The reason sounded impable. Under the unfriendly gazes of the girls, Ke bit her lips and finally
Sound went to the buffet and saw Ke halfway. Ke looked pale now. Sound ran up and asked,
"Ke, what''s wrong with you? Did Bertha do something to you?"
"No..." Looking at the anxious expression on Sound''s face, Ke felt more and more guilty.
''They didn''t do anything to me. They are going to do something to you.
And I''m an aplice.''
Ke''s eyes turned red with cowardice. She lied, "Sound, I miss home."
Not to mention that Ke was a student living in the school, Sound, who stayed in Sampson''s home
and had a video call with her parents every night, would miss home in some moment.
Without any doubt, Sound walked up to Ke and hugged her. "Call your family if you miss home."
"I''ve handed in my phone. I can''t get it until the weekend."
"Well, you can call them on the weekend. After half a month, you will have some days off. Then you
can go home." Sound patted Ke on the back gently tofort her.
Ke sniffed and said, "Okay."
Ke let go of Sound and looked away with a guilty conscience. She pointed at theb building and
said, "That is theb building. Let''s clean it during the P.E. ss, so that you don''t have to do the
cleaning after school."
Sound looked at the building which Ke was pointing at. The Boston ivy upied half of the wall,
leaving mottled marks and several cracks on the white wall. It was like an old man who had
experienced a lot, standing among the trees.
"Okay."
Sound agreed without hesitation. Ke got even more worried, but she did not dare to disobey
Bertha''s order. She lowered her head and suggested, "Then let''s go to the ssroom to get the tools.
There seems to be no tools in theb building."
"Okay."
Ke walked in front of Sound. Sound stopped and looked at her for a while. Then her eyes shed
with some unfathomable lights.
There were many people sitting in the ssroom. Some of them were chatting with each other like
Reid, and some were doing homework like Onyx.
And some were sleeping on the desk like Sampson.
''Why is he sleeping all the time?'' Sound thought.
Sampson had been sleeping on sses. Sound wondered what he had done at night. Didn''t he sleep?
During the day, he either slept on the desk or rested on the chair with his eyes closed.
How did he get the first ce in the grade after sleeping in sses all the time?
Was it that he slept in the daytime and secretly worked at night?
As she walked, Sound looked at Sampson, forgetting to look ahead. She bumped into Ke, who
happened to turned around.
"Ouch!" With a cry of pain, everyone looked at Ke and Sound.
Sound couldn''t feel the pain, and she acted as if nothing had happened. She quickly reached out to rub
Ke''s forehead and apologized.
"I''m fine. Sound, does it hurt? It''s red!" Ke asked anxiously.
"What?" Sound raised her hand to touch her forehead. "It doesn''t matter. My skin is just like this. It will
easily turn red."
Sampson raised his head and frowned as he clearly saw the red mark on Sound''s forehead.
Reid looked at Ke and Sound and said, "Keep your voice down. Didn''t you see Sampson sleeping?"
Sampson nced at Reid.
Reid was confused.
What did he do wrong again?
