Chapter 119: Bad Guy
The white snow covered the desolate, gray, and dilapidated scenery of the late autumn school, and all that could be seen was a vast expanse of white. Walking through the small forest path, the white snow would occasionally fall from the pine forest, making the quiet forest a bit more dangerous.
When Su Yu came out, Gu Chuan was nowhere to be seen on the weekend. Chu Feng was in the dorm, catching up on the lessons he had missed because of his part-time job. Lu Siyuan had gone to wait for his girlfriend downstairs early in the morning for the sake of so-called romance.
He breathed out a white mist and rubbed his hands together on the track, waiting for An Zhi. He was already much later than the agreed time. Although An Zhi was usually forgetful, she was rarely late. It seemed a bit abnormal today. Nothing could have happened, right… he thought with some unease.
Su Yu’s attention was attracted by the shouting at the entrance of the track. A few members of the Youth Association had already gathered there with large bamboo brooms and were shouting at the people who were coming to get ready to work. He walked towards the entrance and actually saw An Zhi’s particularly small figure in the gap in the crowd.
But An Zhi was holding her head high, her fair neck stretched out, as if she were arguing with the boy next to her. Many people were gathered around them, and the atmosphere seemed a bit wrong. Su Yu subconsciously quickened his pace and walked over.
…
“An Zhi, what they said before was fake. That’s really not my girlfriend. I have nothing to do with her. Please believe me. Just give me a chance.”
The boy had handsome features and curly hair, and he was well-dressed. He and two boys who seemed to be his friends had come together, forming a wall in front of An Zhi, explaining a lot, his tone very sincere. “I’m not trying to do anything. I just really want to get to know you.”
But An Zhi just stared with her round, deer-like eyes, listening to the boy’s jumbled words very seriously. She bit the straw with her cherry-pink lips, still thinking that this new winter milk tea tasted really bad. She was a little unhappy.
“Oh, okay.” After the boy finished speaking, An Zhi nodded vigorously, looking very much in agreement.
The boy was at a loss for words, his long speech suddenly blocked, his brain a little short-circuited. “That’s it?”
“Uh… and also…” An Zhi smacked her lips and thought for a while, her big eyes full of seriousness, making it impossible to find any fault. “That girl is very pretty. Since she likes you, you should consider her too. Otherwise, she’s quite pitiful…”
“But I, I only like…”
“That’s enough of you. How is Xiaoyue not your girlfriend? You and her hadn’t broken up yet when you kept bothering An Zhi, making her come and say nasty things to An Zhi. Xiaoyue is really unlucky to have fallen for you.”
A girl from the same association couldn’t take it anymore and pointed at the boy’s nose and cursed, not holding back at all, revealing all his secrets.
The smile on the boy’s face immediately disappeared, and his expression became a little ugly, but he still patiently explained, “This is between me and An Zhi. Maybe there’s some misunderstanding between us.”
The girl had a fiery temper. She sneered contemptuously, “Do you need someone to spread rumors about your dirty laundry? What misunderstanding? Can people like you not stay in the Youth Association? Sister Hong is not here today. Are you going to tear down the house?”
The boy didn’t speak. One of his friends was unhappy and threatened the girl with a few curses.
An Zhi didn’t speak. She bit the straw with her pearly white teeth and stared at the boy with her big eyes, not knowing what she was thinking. The boy was also a little embarrassed. He comforted his bad-tempered friend and patted him on the shoulder.
Many people who had come to see the snow were already gathered on the track. Seeing the commotion here, they couldn’t help but take a few more glances and surrounded the area.
The girl who had spoken up for An Zhi’s eyes were a little red, as if she hadn’t expected to be treated so roughly.
An Zhi pulled the girl’s sleeve and used a tissue to wipe her tears. She puffed out her cheeks and suddenly felt that the milk tea in her hand was even more disgusting. But the boy came up to her again and explained something she didn’t want to hear, which made her even more annoyed. She was on her period today, and her temper was a bit short.
A confession? Many boys had confessed to her since she was a child. She didn’t lead them on. After listening to their confessions seriously, she would politely refuse, and they would all back down. Why was this one so shameless? If she wasn’t angry… did they all think she was easy to bully? She had to teach this guy a lesson. The little white rabbit usually had a good temper, but now she was really a little angry, and the consequences were serious!
She didn’t speak, just blinked her innocent, deer-like eyes and slowly walked up to the boy. Facing his surprised expression, she suddenly stood on her tiptoes, raised her arm high, and squeezed the milk tea in her hand. More than half a bottle of milk tea sprayed out from the straw, like a water column, all over the boy’s face.
The boy subconsciously closed his eyes and took a few steps back. When he opened his eyes again, his face was full of anger. The sweet and greasy milk tea dripped into his clothes and dripped onto the ground from his collar. The water droplets exploded in the same way as the scene at this moment.
A few members of the Youth Association, seeing that something was wrong, immediately blocked An Zhi behind them and persuaded the somewhat exasperated boy not to make a move. They handed him a tissue and slowly pulled them apart.
The girl was panting with white mist, her face flushed red, her eyes shining with the pleasure of revenge. She felt like she was the protagonist in a movie who had provoked a big villain. She was so into the role that she was now a little scared. She tiptoed away, her short legs moving furtively, completely lacking the protagonist’s composure.
She suddenly saw Su Yu in the crowd, in a daze. The excited little girl felt as if her whole body was boiling with blood. She excitedly ran over and grabbed the dazed Su Yu, and the two of them ran out together.
Su Yu didn’t react and was dragged along. He had just seen the little girl pour milk tea on the boy’s face, and he was a little stunned. He had never thought that the little white rabbit would one day bite when cornered.
…
“Ouch, I’m exhausted.”
An Zhi was a little out of breath. She supported herself with her two short legs and squatted on the ground, panting. She looked up at Su Yu with a radiant expression, her face red from the cold. She raised her eyebrows and looked smug. “How was that? I’m pretty good, right? Do you dare to bully me again?”
“Do you know you’re in big trouble? And you’re still smiling.”
Su Yu put his hand on An Zhi’s head and rubbed it hard, his tone a little harsh because of his worry. “You’ve made him angry. Have you thought about what you’ll do if that guy comes to find you again?”
“But… but he was so mean. That girl was very nice to me, and she was even made to cry. And I’m so annoyed with that boy. He even tried to hold my hand last time. I don’t like him. Why should I let him hold my hand? And I… I…”
The long list of reasons An Zhi had thought of suddenly got stuck. She stammered and secretly blinked her dark eyes, peeking at Su Yu’s expression. She suddenly realized that there was a problem with what she had just said. She had just… just been running with Su Yu all this time.
“Hmm?” Su Yu frowned. “Why aren’t you speaking? Are you scared now?”
“Um… nothing. I just…” An Zhi stammered, her fine bangs falling down, her long eyelashes covering her eyes. She looked at Su Yu, who seemed to know nothing, and bared her teeth, stomping on his foot with her small leather shoes, a hint of annoyance in her voice. “Who… who let you touch my hair? Do you know how long I spent on my hairstyle?”
She patted her face, feeling a little hot. She looked at the thick layer of snow on the ground and kicked it in a huff.
So annoying, so annoying.
She thought sullenly, squatted down, and grabbed a handful of snow, rolling it into a ball. She weighed it in her hand for a moment and then suddenly threw it at Su Yu.
“Hey, are you crazy! How old are you, still playing with snowballs?”
Su Yu was hit in the chest by a snowball. He really hadn’t expected An Zhi to be so childish.
“Less talk, more action.” She rolled another, bigger snowball in her hand and stared at Su Yu fiercely.
“You big bad guy, I’ll beat you to death.”
