《Chasing You Like a Tenacious Falcon》


 Chapter 1: From the Mountains

    <h4>Chapter 1</h4>


    Quan Zhisui had never understood why in TV shows, rich people always lived together in one big household. No matter how big the house, there was no privacy!


    Now she understood the reason.


    "Miss Zhisui, this is your room," said the nanny Gu Lan as she led her to the door.


    The room door was a double door that opened to the left and right, even bigger than a regr front door.


    Pushing the doors open revealed a living room-like anteroom, furnished with a sofa, TV and everything needed. Stepping inside, there were two more rooms to the left and right - a bathroom with washer and dryer to the left, and the bedroom to the right.


    Gu Lan pointed to the bathroom, "Just throw your dirty clothes in theundry basket. I''lle every day to clean up, wash and dry them for you, and keep things clean without mixing them up with others''."


    She spoke politely, but was subtly exining the details of living in a wealthy household.


    There were no privacy issues here.


    Quan Zhisui understood and nodded lightly.


    Her father whom she had never met and stepmother had gone through great pains to bring her here from the mountains, yet there was no one here to wee her when she arrived.


    How interesting.


    Gu Lan went on, "I''m here specifically to take care of you and your brother''s living needs. If you need anything in your life here, you cane to me. Young Master Zichen''s room is next to yours."


    The entire second floor had four suite rooms. The two on the right were empty for now, while the two on the left were upied by Quan Zhisui and Zuo Zichen.


    Her half-brother whom she had never met...


    "What grade is Zuo Zichen in?" she asked.


    Gu Lan: "Young Master Zichen is 16 this year, a year younger than you. He just started 10th grade."


    Quan Zhisui raised an eyebrow. She wasn''t even 17 yet, so the age difference between her and Zuo Zichen was...


    quite subtle.


    Before this, she knew very little about her own background, only that her mother had died from excessive bleeding while giving birth to her, and that her birth father was very wealthy, with grandparents still living, a stepmother and a younger brother.


    Gu Lan nced at the time. "You rest first. I''ll go prepare afternoon tea for you. Do you have any dietary restrictions?"


    Quan Zhisui touched her sunken stomach, "I have no restrictions, but I want to eat three bowls of noodles."


    "Wha, what?" Gu Lan looked at Quan Zhisui''s pole-thin figure and uncharacteristically stuttered in surprise.


    Quan Zhisui sincerely exined, "I expended a lot of energy in the mountains before, so I ate a lot and my body got used to it. The food on the ne was too little, I didn''t eat enough."


    Yunyang City was a thousand kilometers from Liangxi City. She didn''t live in the city of Yunyang before, but rather in the mountains. She had set off before dawn, took a car from the mountains to the airport, so she really hadn''t eaten enough and was hungry for an entire day.


    Gu Lan opened and closed her mouth. "Oh...alright."


    Quan Zhisui was still worried, and asked again, "Is there still dinner after afternoon tea?"


    Gu Lan: "Of course dinner is included."


    Quan Zhisui breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid there would be too many rules in a wealthy household.


    With her mind at ease, she went to sit on the sofa. The car and ne rides had made her ufortable, anding here made her even more ufortable. She really needed to rest for a bit, mentally.


    Gu Lan had already retreated to the door, but suddenly remembered something and came back, "Oh right, Miss Zhisui, just... you can freely use your own room here, everything here is prepared for you, but for the other rooms..."


    "I know, I won''t wander around," said Quan Zhisui.


    Gu Lan smiled and left, closing the double doors behind her as she headed downstairs to the kitchen to prepare food.


    Only after the double doors shut did Quan Zhisuipletely rx, sprawling on the sofa to look at the ceiling.


    Hmm, even the ceiling was luxuriously expensive.


    Just two quiet minutester, Quan Zhisui sat up and took out her phone to dial a number.


    This was the smartphone her master had specifically gone down the mountain to buy for her the night before she left. She didn''t have anymunication devices before this, only asionally ying with her senior brothers'' phones.


    The call was picked up instantly. "Zhisui, you''ve arrived?"


    "Mm..." Quan Zhisui responded dispiritedly.


    The other side was silent for a few seconds before asking, "You don''t like it there?"


    Quan Zhisui was very depressed. "Mm."


    The other side sighed, "Be good, Zhisui. Don''t worry about other things for now. Focus on your studies. Once you''re an adult, you won''t need a guardian anymore."


    "Senior brother Ziyin..." Quan Zhisui thought for a moment before asking, "Can youe see me?"


    Ziyin: "Give it some time. I''ll speak to Master."


    "Okay." After hanging up, Quan Zhisui''s mood lifted a little. She got up to take a shower.


    After her shower, Quan Zhisui changed into the coarse hemp clothes she had brought, long sleeves and pants. It was already autumn, and she wore a singleyer that still couldn''t keep her warm.


    By this time, Gu Lan had cooked the noodles and called her to the dining room.


    The huge dining table held three different bowls of noodles - spring noodles, meat sauce noodles, and shrimp noodles. It was clear Gu Lan was sincerely caring for her employer''s child.


    Quan Zhisui fell silent again, d she had asked for three bowls instead of one. The portion sizes here were so different from what she was used to. These were truly tiny bowls.


    People in Jiangnan really did eat less!


    Quan Zhisui was extremely hungry and wolfed down the three bowls quickly, not leaving a single drop of soup behind.


    Watching her, Gu Lan felt a little distressed. "The food in the mountains wasn''t good?"


    Quan Zhisui shook her head. "The food in the mountains was pretty good."


    At least she could eat her fill.


    Gu Lan patted her hand. "The chef knows you''re arriving today and is preparing a feast for dinner."


    Looking at the three empty little bowls, Quan Zhisui swallowed her hunger and nodded.


    Her usual afternoon practice time was 3-6pm - one hour of zhan zhuang, one hour of fitness training, one hour of sparring.


    But now...


    She still wasn''t full, and with insufficient energy, skipping practice for a day wouldn''t hurt, right?


    So Quan Zhisui returned to her room and did some stretching on the floor before sitting down to meditate, trying to use seated meditation to rein in her energy and reduce her hunger pangs.


    But she couldn''t hold back, and started crying as she sat.


    Though arduous, life in the mountains was at least free and happy, self-sufficient.


    This was the first time in 17 years she had gone hungry!

 Chapter 2: What normal person gets up in the middle of the night to talk

    <h4>Chapter 2</h4>


    After a hard time entering into a meditative state and enduring until 6pm in the evening, Quan Zhisui was finally able to eat dinner.


    Without even needing Gu Lan to call her, the moment it struck the hour, Quan Zhisui burst out of her room. Her explosive speed at the start was like a young cheetah, shing down the long mansion corridor in the blink of an eye to the very end. She didn''t take the stairs or elevator either, directly leaping over the railing from the second floor.


    With a ''pat'' she nimblynded.


    Gu Lan was just about to go upstairs to call her for dinner, and seeing this scene, froze in shock on the spot, her front foot frozen on the first step of the stairs, her back foot still lifted in a stepping motion.


    Frozen!


    If she didn''t see wrong, Quan Zhisui had jumped down from the second floor?!


    Quan Zhisui didn''t forget to politely greet: "Auntie Gu, I''m going to eat."


    Then she exploded forth once more with a ''whoosh'' rushing to the dining room, instantly sitting down at the table. Because she had run so fast, she even stirred up a gust of wind.


    Gu Lan: "......"


    On the table were only four small tes of cold appetizers, and no rice.


    Quan Zhisui almost cried again, how could this little bit be enough for anyone to eat?


    Just then, Gu Lan started bringing dish after dish out from the kitchen: "What would you like for the main dish, rice or noodles?"


    "Rice! A big bowl!" Quan Zhisui excitedly shouted.


    The mealsted a whole hour, eating until stuffed. Gu Lan watched worriedly beside her, afraid she would eat herself to death.


    However, until the end of dinner, she didn''t see anyone else. Zuo Zichen, who was supposed to be home from school at 5:30pm, didn''t show up.


    Quan Zhisui had just arrived and naturally wouldn''t ask much or get involved. After dinner she simply digested for a bit, then went to wash up. By 9pm she obediently went to sleep.


    The bed was very big and soft, but she didn''t sleep very well.


    Bang bang bang! Bang bang!


    In the middle of sleep someone was knocking on the door, the sound very loud and urgent.


    "Young Miss Zhisui, I''ming in."


    Gu Lan''s voice came, the lights in the outer living room turned on, and the bedroom door opened a crack.


    "Young miss, the master is calling for you to go to the study."


    "Now???" Quan Zhisui was shocked and speechless.


    At this time it was 11:30 at night, the hour of zi, when the galldder meridian was active.


    Gu Lan pushed open the bedroom door and walked in, "Young miss, go over quickly, the master has little patience and will get angry."


    Quan Zhisui: "......"


    She wanted to get angry too!


    And so, in the dead of night Quan Zhisui was forcibly called to the study by her biological father.


    Zuo Zhiyu''s study was on the third floor, even bigger than the master suite on the second floor. At first sight it was nothing but luxury.


    At this time he was sitting on the sofa talking on the phone, a lit cigar in hand. Also sitting on the same sofa was a beautiful woman, holding a wine ss drinking red wine.


    After Quan Zhisui entered, no one paid her any attention. Zuo Zhiyu only nced at her once before continuing his phone call. That beautiful woman should be her stepmother, who didn''t even lift her head.


    Quan Zhisui took a deep breath, suppressing her already somewhat angry mood.


    Finally, Zuo Zhiyu finished his call and swept his daughter a nce.


    So skinny like a monkey.


    Zuo Zhiyun rather looked down on her, and didn''t have Quan Zhisui sit. He directly opened his mouth, "Quan Zhisui, I''m your father."


    "I know. Do you have something to tell me? I''m very tired." Quan Zhisui quickly finished speaking.


    Zuo Zhiyu''s brows furrowed, "You''re very impatient?"


    Quan Zhisui: "I really am tired."


    What normal person would forcibly call someone up in the middle of the night past 11pm to talk?


    Just then, Xu Zhiyi finally lifted her head, looking Quan Zhisui up and down, and spoke gracefully, "Quan Zhisui, when talking to father you must be polite."


    Quan Zhisui yawned tiredly, nodding her head, "Oh."


    Xu Zhiyi''s brows furrowed slightly, but quickly rxed, her gaze smiling.


    It seemed Zuo Zhiyu wanted to lecture Quan Zhisui, babbling on and on. Quan Zhisui let it go in one ear and out the other without retaining a sentence.


    "Alright, go back and sleep early. Don''t bete for school tomorrow."


    Finally hearing these words, Quan Zhisui turned and left. She was dead tired.


    Zuo Zhiyu watched Quan Zhisui''s retreating figure, very displeased, "Truly ill-mannered."


    But Xu Zhiyi''s face was full of smiles,pletely at ease.


    Quan Zhisui took her mother Quan Feng''s surname.


    That woman Quan Feng was not simple. Xu Zhiyi had thought Quan Zhisui would have inherited something, but who knew she would actually be so foolish, clearly easy to control at a nce.


    Quan Zhisui''s eyes were tearing from exhaustion as she groped her way back to her room.


    Passing by Zuo Zichen''s room, his door suddenly opened.


    Quan Zhisui reflexively nced over.


    She saw a tall, robust boy leaning in the doorway. He made a throat slitting gesture at her, and mouthed ''trash''.


    Quan Zhisui: "......"


    Alright, she clearly felt the malice from this family.


    Having an older sister suddenly appear was an enormous blow to Zuo Zichen. He also couldn''t ept that his own mother was originally a mistress.


    Zuo Zichen saw Quan Zhisui''s appearance, as thin as if malnourished, wearing such shabby clothes that offended the eyes. On her feet were a pair of tattered cloth shoes?


    Truly worthy of being raised in a remote backwater!


    At the same time, Zuo Zichen also didn''t understand. This person who had been abandoned in the mountains for 17 years, why must she be brought back now?


    Why bring her back? To be aughingstock?


    Why not just let her die in the mountains!


    Zuo Zichen had thought his actions would make the other feel sad or afraid, but unexpectedly Quan Zhisui was very calm, calm as if she hadn''t seen anything. She even yawned.


    Following that, he saw this half-sister simply walk by the door of his room, stepping in those unsightly cloth shoes of hers, and return to the room beside his.


    Zuo Zichen''s anger had rushed up to his crown already, hating Quan Zhisui''s existence even more. In his heart he wished she would die in a car ident someday.


    ......


    Upon returning to her room Quan Zhisui immediately fell asleep. She didn''t understand why this family hated her yet insisted on bringing her back, even impatiently forcing her, not giving her and her shifu and shixiong time to properly say farewell before forcibly separating them.


    Whether they hated her or not, she didn''t have much psychological pressure.


    Because she had been called up to be lectured in the middle of the night, Quan Zhisui woke up a bitter than usual this morning.


    At 5am sunrise, after washing up Quan Zhisui practiced her fundamentals in the backyard. She practiced faster than usual, afraid she wouldn''t make breakfast or get to school on time.


    After bringing her here this family just abandoned her, like it was just a formality.


    From 6:55 to 7:15 she waited yet no one came and no car appeared.


    Was Zuo Zichen not going to school? Was the driver sick?


    "Young Miss Zhisui!" Gu Lan''s anxious voice came from behind. "Young Master Zichen didn''t eat breakfast and left early, having the driver take him first. The master and madam both need the cars today. I......you......"

 Chapter 3: Aren’t you Handsome School Grass

    <h4>Chapter 3</h4>


    Quan Zhisui arrivedte to school at 7:50am as a matter of course.


    7:30am was reading time, and by now most students were already seated in the ssrooms, with only a handful of stragglers racing through the school gates.


    Students who strolled inte as casually as Quan Zhisui were a rare sight, and she drew several curious nces.


    Kong Mingze was one of them.


    "Hey! Which ss are you in?" Kong Mingze was too curious not to double back and ask after jogging several meters.


    Quan Zhisui answered honestly: "I don''t know."


    "Huh?" Kong Mingze was stunned. He looked her up and down: "Haven''t seen you before, new first-year?"


    Quan Zhisui: "Second year, transfer student. It''s my first day."


    Kong Mingze nced behind her: "It''s your first day transferring and you came alone? Did you finish the paperwork? Bring your stuff?"


    Quan Zhisui nodded: "Mhm, brought it. Excuse me, who should I go see?"


    She was truly lost. Her family didn''t care at all.


    "Then you''ve found the right person!" Kong Mingze lifted his chin. "I''m a second-year too. Come on, I''ll take you to process the paperwork."


    It was perfect timing since he waste too. Helping a transfer student with paperwork would be a great excuse to avoid a scolding from the homeroom teacher.


    And so, Quan Zhisui smoothly arrived at the head teacher''s office.


    "Reporting in!" Kong Mingze yelled loudly.


    There were two people in the office. Zhang Li was speaking with a student and both looked over when they heard the shout.


    Kong Mingze blinked wildly and pulled faces at the student, seeming close.


    Wei Shixu''s first impression of Quan Zhisui was that she looked tiny and scrawny standing next to the tall Kong Mingze, easy to overlook.


    When Quan Zhisui first saw Wei Shixu, her reaction was to frown, even subconsciously taking half a step back.


    What a dangerous person!


    Now she understood the meaning of ''smiling on the outside while scheming on the inside''.


    The corners of his mouth were tilted in a smile, but if you covered the lower half of his face and just looked at his eyes, you would see he wasn''t smiling at all. Instead, he looked at people, at everyone, with a cold, even sinister gaze.


    But it had to be said, his looks were outstanding enough to be impossible to ignore.


    Even knowing he was dangerous, Quan Zhisui couldn''t tear her eyes from his face.


    Kong Mingze leaned in and whispered: "Handsome, right? His name is Wei Shixu, the school prince."


    Zhang Li first red at Kong Mingze, then gently nodded at Wei Shixu: "You can head back to ss first."


    "Alright."


    Wei Shixu''s cold voice rang out. As he walked past Kong Mingze and Quan Zhisui, he lightly nodded in greeting, then left without any hesitation.


    Through it all, the smile never left the corners of his lips.


    Kong Mingze strode into the office, grinning: "Teacher Zhang, I''ve brought the transfer student to report in."


    "Teacher, I''m Quan Zhisui, the transfer student." Quan Zhisui stepped forward and spoke.


    Zhang Li had been about to scold Kong Mingze but swallowed the words back at Quan Zhisui''s polite introduction. He smiled at her: "Wee new ssmate. Did you bring your transfer certificate?"


    Quan Zhisui took out the documents and handed them over.


    Zhang Li quickly nced through and said some words of warning with a smile: "I know your circumstances. Luoxi High is different from your previous school, so do your best!"


    Quan Zhisui: "Yes teacher."


    Zhang Li: "You''re in ss 2 Year 1, same as Kong Mingze here. Kong Mingze, take the new ssmate to your homeroom."


    "You got it!" Kong Mingze was casual and enthusiastic.


    Once out of the office, Quan Zhisui followed him without a word.


    Kong Mingze was very talkative and curious though: "Just now Teacher Zhang said something about different, you didn''t go to a normal high school before? Transferred from an international school?"


    You couldn''t me Kong Mingze for guessing wildly. The new student was just too unique!


    She was nonchnt about beingte, transferred schools alone, and had a poise and independence only children of wealthy families who had seen the world possessed.


    Quan Zhisui shook her head: "No, I''m from the mountains."


    She had gone to a martial arts school for 10 years.


    Now it was Kong Mingze''s turn to fall silent. He really couldn''t continue the conversation, only scratched his head awkwardly.


    Which mountains? The kind he imagined - very remote and poor, where even cars couldn''t get in?


    That couldn''t be!


    Quan Zhisui''s words were too abstract and beyond his understanding.


    But what kind of person was Kong Mingze? He quickly found another topic of conversation.


    He asked: "Hey, are your parents usually very busy with work? Why didn''t theye see you off when you transferred?"


    Quan Zhisui: "I don''t know. I met my dad for the first time yesterday. My mom died of excessive bleeding giving birth to me."


    Snap¡ª


    Kong Mingze was petrified on the spot, regretting that he hadn''t smacked himself for his tactlessness.


    When he looked at Quan Zhisui again, his gaze had taken on a motherly shine, even growing tearful.


    Kong Mingze: "ssmate Quan Zhisui, if you have any difficulties in the future, please let me know. I will definitely help you!"


    Quan Zhisui: "Alright, thank you ssmate Kong Mingze."


    By the time the two arrived at the ssroom, it was already first period with their homeroom teacher Qian Ya.


    "Kong Mingze, you''rete again!"


    Qian Ya instinctively yelled when she caught sight of the ssroom door from the corner of her eye. But when she turned to look properly, she saw Kong Mingze wasn''t alone - there was another student with him. She remembered a transfer student was arriving today and realized it must be the one Kong Mingze had brought.


    "You''re the transfer student right?" Seeing how skinny the girl was, Qian Ya couldn''t help softening her voice.


    Quan Zhisui: "Hello teacher, I''m Quan Zhisui."


    Kong Mingze lifted his chin arrogantly: "Teacher Qian, I didn''t arrivete. I was taking the new student to see Teacher Zhang."


    Qian Ya rolled her eyes: "I see, you''re amazing huh. You''ll be even more amazing if you can pass this monthly exam."


    "Hehe!" Kong Mingze strode swaggeringly to thest row and sat down, not bothered at all by the teacher mentioning his grades.


    Qian Ya pped to get the ss''s attention: "Let me introduce the new ssmate, Quan Zhisui. Let''s give her a warm wee!"


    Some students politely pped below while others didn''t even lift their heads, indifferent.


    After a simple introduction, Qian Ya arranged Quan Zhisui''s seat: "Quan Zhisui, seating in ss is arranged by grades. You can take the empty spot in thest row for now until we rearrange seats after this monthly exam."


    Quan Zhisui politely nodded and went to sit in the vacant seat in the corner.


    The desks were individual. Kong Mingze was across the aisle from her, waggling his brows at her excitedly.


    Quan Zhisui also smiled back at him before taking out her textbook to listen to ss. But she quickly realized she couldn''t keep up or understand.


    Suzhou High was impressive - the second years were already learning third year content!


    She turned and was shocked to see Kong Mingze sprawled on his desk fast asleep.


    The students'' states were prized. Those with good grades in the front rows were listening attentively while the underperformers in the back were either napping or ying on their phones.


    Quan Zhisui''s expression gradually became nk. No need to change seats, she was one of the bad students.

 Chapter 4: Brother, Borrow your meal card.

    <h4>Chapter 4</h4>


    Since I can''t understand it anyway, Quan Zhisui decided to observe her ssmates. Apart from Kong Mingze, who seemed particrly enthusiastic, the others didn''t seem interested in the new transfer student. Most of them were focused on studying, after all, it was a prestigious high school and time was pressing.


    Then, Quan Zhisui saw Wei Shixu sitting in the golden seat by the window in the first row, first column.


    He was a person with superior looks and a terrifying gaze.


    His position in the first row indicated that he had the best grades in the ss, but he didn''t seem like a traditional good student.


    Quan Zhisui had good eyesight and could clearly see Wei Shixu ying with his phone from the diagonal distance across the ssroom.


    And it was obvious, without any attempt to conceal it, he ced his phone on the desk, propped up by a few books.


    He was watching a movie, a bloody horror film.


    Perhaps because their eyes met so directly, Wei Shixu turned back with a sense of awareness and locked eyes with Quan Zhisui urately.


    Quan Zhisui didn''t look away but blinked her eyes. She didn''t show any expression and remained calm.


    Wei Shixu suddenly smiled, found it somewhat interesting, but that was it. After looking back briefly, he ignored her and continued watching the movie.


    She didn''t observe this person with a strong sense of disconnection any further. She adjusted her posture and looked back at her own textbook. She still had to self-study the content of the second year, or else she wouldn''t be able to catch up with the lessons.


    Finally, the morning sses came to an end, and Quan Zhisui was exhausted.


    Kong Mingze woke up on time and went out of the ssroom, chatting up with the other students in thest row. She had no idea where they were going.


    The other students flocked to the cafeteria.


    Quan Zhisui followed the crowd without knowing what to do.


    The cafeteria was in another building, and a massive number of students rushed in, forming long queues at different windows.


    Quan Zhisui also joined the queue. She was extremely hungry, but halfway through the line, she suddenly realized something.


    It was serious!


    The cafeteria here had a different operating model from the martial arts school she attended on the mountain. At the martial arts school, the meals for the three daily meals were arranged by the cafeteria, and everyone ate the same thing, with only differences in portion sizes. The students'' tuition fees included the meals, so they didn''t need to spend extra money for food.


    But it was different at Liang Secondary School. Each student had a card in their hand, and the cafeteria had a wide variety of dishes to choose from, and they had to ce their orders.


    Quan Zhisui didn''t have a meal card.


    Wei Shixu was standing at the end of the line next to her, seemingly uninterested in the act of eatingpared to the starving ghosts in the other line.


    Standing there bored, he nced around and noticed a person walking out from the gap between the two lines, with an extremely pale face.


    Wei Shixu: "..."


    This transfer student was indeed quite interesting.


    Quan Zhisui didn''t notice Wei Shixu in the crowd. At this moment, she felt hopeless and only thought about going around to the cafeteria office to get a meal card beforeing back. Would there still be food left?


    You see, at the martial arts school, if you missed the mealtime, you wouldn''t have any food to eat!


    But as she walked, a leg stretched out in front of her, as if intentionally trying to trip her, apanied by stifledughter around.


    Without raising her head, she stepped over it, toozy to bother with whoever had such boring antics.


    She didn''t seek trouble, yet trouble found her.


    "Quan Zhisui, stop right there!" a voice rang out from above, filled with ill intentions.


    Quan Zhisui maintained her expression of indifference, her eyes hollow as she looked up.


    Oh, it was Zuo Zichen.


    Behind him stood several unruly students, the type who didn''t bother to wear their school uniforms properly.


    Seeing her expression, Zuo Zichen''s already pent-up emotions erupted, and he shouted, "Who are you making that dead face for?!"


    He was fierce, his eyes filled with hatred.


    The apanying students burst into loudughter.


    Themotion attracted the curiosity of the students lining up for food, and they began to whisper and discuss.


    "Isn''t that Zuo Zichen from the first year?"


    "Yes... Don''t mess with him."


    "Zuo Zichen is notorious for being a second-generation rich kid. He dered himself the boss as soon as he entered Liang Secondary School."


    "Who is this girl? Is Zuo Zichen even bullying girls now?"


    "Look, they''ve surrounded that girl."


    "..."


    However, Zuo Zichen''s outburst snapped Quan Zhisui back to reality. Her eyes instantly brightened, and her voice became lively and crisp. "Little brother, can I borrow your meal card?"


    Zuo Zichen: "?"


    He couldn''t help butugh.


    He insults you, and you ask to borrow his meal card?


    The apanying studentsughed even louder, mocking her with their words.


    "Hey, Zuo bro, is she crazy? She actually called you ''little brother''!"


    "Where did this vige girle from? Why is she randomly iming rtions?"


    "Who does she think she is?"


    "..."


    Wei Shixu also stood among the crowd, fully engaged.


    Due to their proximity, he heard their entire conversation.


    Little brother? Borrowing a meal card?


    Wei Shixu''s eyes flickered with interest as he stared intently at Quan Zhisui without moving.


    High school life had been stagnant and unchanging, but this transfer student seemed to be a variable, tearing open a rift.


    Of course, Zuo Zichen would never lend his meal card to Quan Zhisui out of kindness. The phrase ''little brother'' touched upon the thing he least wanted to face.


    He wished she would starve to death!


    He sneered and leaned in closer, whispering, "You don''t even have money for meals, why don''t you be a beggar? Oh, right, in my house, you''re nothing but a beggar. Since you''re a beggar, if you kneel down and polish my shoes, I might reluctantly give you a meal."


    Quan Zhisui nced down at his shoes, showing no reaction.


    Zuo Zichen''s insults grew even more vulgar. "Damn parasite, why didn''t you die with your short-lived ghost of a mother?"


    Quan Zhisui''s gaze changed, and suddenly she looked up, locking eyes with him.


    In that instant, her aura transformed as well!


    Quan Zhisui had been practicing internal martial arts since childhood. After more than a decade of training, she had already reached the stage of internal energy cultivation. Normally, her presence was concealed, unassuming like an ordinary person.


    But now, provoked, her aggressive nature burst forth like a fierce carnivorous animal, ready to tear Zuo Zichen apart!


    Zuo Zichen abruptly took a step back, with a voice inside him constantly warning:


    Don''t mess with her! Don''t mess with her!


    However, Zuo Zichen was ustomed to the life of a crown prince. His first reaction to the dangerous aura was not fear, but anger¡ªan anger provoked by the challenge.


    "You mountain trash! How dare you look at me with such eyes?!"


    He shouted loudly, consumed by rage, and without any hesitation, he swung his fist towards Quan Zhisui''s head.


    The people around were startled, and cries of rm filled the air.


    Some tried to rush forward to intervene, but they were too far away. By the time they reached, Zuo Zichen''s punch hadnded solidly on Quan Zhisui''s face.


    How could such a slender girl withstand a punch from a 1.8-meter-tall muscr man?


    Many people cursed in anger.


    Quan Zhisui stood still without evading. She quickly clenched her fist and raised her forearm, simultaneously tightening her muscles and exerting force¡ªa basic defensive move.


    Crack!


    A distinct sound of bones breaking.


    It was Zuo Zichen''s bones.

 Chapter 5: Thank you Then you can buy me dinner.

    <h4>Chapter 5</h4>


    "Ah¡ª¡ª Ah!"


    Zuo Zichen let out an exaggerated scream and fell to the ground, writhing in pain with a twisted expression on his face.


    The feeling just now was as if he had been hit by an iron rod!


    People rushed over. Some shielded Quan Zhisui behind them, while others lunged forward, grabbing nothing but air. No one expected that the one writhing on the ground was Zuo Zichen.


    Everyone was dumbfounded!


    The group of troublemaking students were even more at a loss.


    Especially as Zuo Zichen continued twisting his legs on the ground, looking extremely pained.


    "My hand is broken! Call an ambnce, ambnce!" He shouted loudly while beads of sweat the size of beans kept emerging on his forehead. It looked like he was about to pass out any moment.


    Soon teachers rushed over and the scene descended into chaos.


    Zuo Zichen was carried out of the cafeteria by two teachers to go to the hospital.


    Quan Zhisui, who was protected in the center of the crowd, hung her head dejectedly.


    Her brother''s hand was broken = her meal ticket had run away.


    What about lunch?


    Just then, a teacher with a fierce look named Ding Xing roared, demanding to know what was going on.


    The students who were watching exined what happened, but those troublemaking students insisted that Quan Zhisui was the one who beat up Zuo Zichen.


    The two sides even started arguing over this matter.


    "Zuo Zichen is over six feet tall. How could this girl possibly have broken his hand? Don''t be an unfair user!"


    "Bullshit! We were the closest and saw everything clearly! She did it!"


    "She looks so skinny. Are you blind? You just study poorly all day and only know how tomit campus violence. You wanted to bully the new transfer student because she''s unfamiliar with everything, right?"


    "Besides, Zuo Zichen provoked Quan Zhisui first. We all saw it. Zuo Zichen cursed and hit her."


    "Do you even know Zuo Ge''s background? Aren''t you afraid he''ll retaliate? I''ll remember you guys. Just you wait!"


    "..."


    The two sides quarrelled intensely, sticking to their own ims.


    Ding Xing looked at Quan Zhisui, his anger zing. "You''re hiding in the crowd pretending to be innocent. Get out here!"


    Everything went silent around them.


    "I''m asking you! Did you hit Zuo Zichen?" Ding Xing yelled at Quan Zhisui.


    Normally a little girl would cry or at least panic internally when a teacher got angry at her like this.


    But Quan Zhisui shook her head very calmly. "No."


    Indeed she didn''t. She had only raised her hand to block him. Who knew Zuo Zichen''s bones were as brittle as cookies?


    Ding Xing''s eyes shed with anger. "I''m warning you not to lie. I''ll check the surveince footage and if you did hit him, that''s a major demerit!"


    Quan Zhisui: "..."


    One female student defending her couldn''t help but retort indignantly, "Teacher Ding, Zuo Zichen hit first! We all saw it!"


    Ding Xing nced at her and scolded, "We won''t know who hit first until checking the footage. What are you all arguing about here?!"


    No one dared to talk back anymore. They were all students after all, who would dare confront a teacher directly?


    Just then, a voice sounded from the crowd, "No need to check. I filmed it."


    Wei Shixu walked over holding up his phone which had the video.


    He had started filming from the moment Zuo Zichen said something that made Quan Zhisui''s expression change drastically. He didn''t expect it to be evidence now.


    The footage clearly showed Zuo Zichen throwing a punch at Quan Zhisui and hitting her forearm.


    Then Zuo Zichen let out a weird scream as he fell to the ground writhing in pain.


    The whole process was so clear that the group of troublemaking students who supported their boss Zuo Ge turned green with embarrassment. Their boss whom they were backing hit a girl and got injured himself while the girl didn''t even move her feet.


    Nothing could be more humiliating!


    The students defending Quan Zhisui became cocky and ted.


    "He hit her! Zuo Zichen hit Quan Zhisui. Quan Zhisui is fine but Zuo Zichen''s hand is broken hahaha!"


    "Zuo Zichen did too many bad things and got his retribution!"


    "Serves him right!"


    Everyone thought this ident was a coincidence, that Zuo Zichen had sprained his hand or got a muscle cramp. No one considered other possibilities.


    Quan Zhisui nced at Wei Shixu, somewhat surprised that he helped.


    Ding Xing waved his hands forcefully. "Nothing more to see, disperse, the situation is clear! Don''t crowd around here! Disperse!"


    Quan Zhisui frowned at Ding Xing. She thought about saying something but in the end didn''t. Right now she was too hungry to waste time on more trouble.


    But Wei Shixu suddenly smiled, a smile devoid of warmth, and said, "Teacher, are you sure everything is clear? Zuo Zichen hitting Quan Zhisui will be let go just like this?"


    Ding Xing was taken aback, very embarrassed.


    Wei Shixu continued smiling and put away his phone. "It''s fine. I know Teacher Ding doesn''t have much power and can''t handle the violence of rich second generation Zuo Zichen. I''ll submit this video to the principal."


    Ding Xing became even more embarrassed.


    The farce ended just like that. The students dispersed to continue eating. Some girls walked over wanting tofort Quan Zhisui but Wei Shixu grabbed her wrist first and pulled her to the meal pickup line.


    Seeing this, the girls'' eyes bulged out as if they had seen a ghost.


    Quan Zhisui and Wei Shixu were half a step apart. She lowered her head to nce at the hand clutching her wrist. She could easily shake it off if she wanted, but...


    "I knew it." Wei Shixu''s voice sounded and his hand let go.


    Quan Zhisui looked at him. "Knew what?"


    Wei Shixu''s eyes were deep with meaning. "I knew you only looked skinny."


    Her wrist was slender but the feel was surprisingly sturdy. He could clearly feel her powerful tendons and solid bones. With full force, she could kill someone with one punch.


    "Oh..." Quan Zhisui thought, of course, she wasn''t skinny at all.


    "Thank you for just now," she said sincerely.


    From now on she wouldn''t judge by appearance anymore. This person only looked dangerous. He was actually very nice. If he hadn''t helped clear her name today, who knows how Teacher Ding would have favored Zuo Zichen!


    Wei Shixu smiled at her, the smile not reaching his eyes. "How do you n to thank me? Treating me to a meal will do. I haven''t eaten yet."


    Quan Zhisui was instantly stunned and at a loss.


    Treat him to a meal?!


    She didn''t even have a meal card and had only brought some pocket change when leaving home.


    How could she decline?


    Declining directly would be too ungrateful!


    Wei Shixu just watched Quan Zhisui struggle in ce, watching her unable to utter a word for a long time. He found it very amusing.


    By now they were almost at the front of the line. It would be their turn next!


    Quan Zhisui became extremely anxious and embarrassed. The more anxious she got, the more rxed he was.


    Wei Shixu knew very well she didn''t have a meal card. He was deliberately teasing her.


    How nasty.

 Chapter 6: From the mountains, Wudang Mountain

    <h4>Chapter 6</h4>


    Kong Mingze rushed into the cafeteria looking for someone and immediately ran over when he saw Wei Shixu.


    Angrily, Kong Mingze asked, "I heard that Zuo Zichen beat up a girl in our ss? Where is he?"


    Wei Shixu replied, "He''s been taken to the hospital."


    Kong Mingze was shocked, "What?! Zuo Zichen sent a girl from our ss to the hospital?! Damn, he''s asking for trouble!"


    Wei Shixu exined, "It was Zuo Zichen who got sent to the hospital. His hand got broken."


    Kong Mingze was stunned, "Huh? How did it happen?"


    Wei Shixu answered, "The girl fought back."


    Wide-eyed with astonishment, Kong Mingze eximed, "Wow! Who is this fierce girl in our ss? Howe I didn''t know about her?"


    Wei Shixu pointed at Quan Zhisui and said, "It''s her."


    Kong Mingze was confused, "???"


    Quan Zhisui opened her mouth to say something, but at that moment, it was their turn in the line, and the cafeteriady poked her head out, holding argedle.


    Kong Mingze generously took out his meal card and said, "My treat, follow meter and tell me how you fought back."


    Quan Zhisui''s eyes sparkled!


    However, before Kong Mingze could extend his meal card, it was blocked by a hand. With a beep, Wei Shixu''s meal card was swiped on the machine.


    "I''ll treat."


    His tone was slightly cold.


    Kong Mingze was a big fool andpletely missed the coldness in Wei Shixu''s eyes. He casually put his meal card back in his pocket and grinned, "Wow! That''s great!"


    Wei Shixu''s voice grew colder, "I didn''t say I''m treating you."


    Kong Mingze: "..."


    "Thank you." Quan Zhisui didn''t know what else to say. After expressing her gratitude, she began to order her food.


    She felt extremely embarrassed. Wei Shixu helped her and even treated her to a meal. Moreover, she ate quite a lot, which made her feel even more guilty.


    She nced at the bnce disyed on the machine and was almost shocked!


    It started with a 1... and then how many digits?


    Five digits!


    Wei Shixu had over 10,000 yuan on his meal card! Did he prepay three years'' worth of meals?


    Quan Zhisui was amazed!


    Wei Shixu was a head taller than her, and his voice sounded above her head, "Eat more. I can afford it."


    The astonishing bnce and his reminderpletely eased Quan Zhisui''s worries. When she talked to the cafeteriady, her voice was filled with excitement.


    Quan Zhisui was good at ordering food. She bnced the meat and vegetables based on her previous dietary habits at Wudang Mountain. However, she had a big appetite and ordered two portions of rice.


    Kong Mingze curiously stared at her tray and then rushed to the counter, shouting to the cafeteriady, "Auntie, I want the same as her!"


    Wei Shixu stopped him, "Wait in line. I''m next."


    Kong Mingze turned his head and stared, "Did I offend you? You won''t treat me to a meal, and you won''t let me eat with you guys."


    Wei Shixu ignored him, collected his food, and beckoned the people behind him toe forward, pushing Kong Mingze aside.


    Kong Mingze felt a deep grudge, but he was popr at school and had his own cleverness. He managed to cut in line by treating someone to a meal.


    By the time he got his food and eagerly found Wei Shixu and Quan Zhisui, they had just sat down and hadn''t eaten much yet.


    "Hehe!" Kong Mingze plopped down beside Quan Zhisui and took a couple of bites before bombarding him with three consecutive questions. "Hey, how did you counterattack Zuo Zichen? Did he hurt you? Why did he bother you?"


    Wei Shixu sat across from them, his expression calm and devoid of emotion.


    Quan Zhisui swallowed a mouthful of food and answered in order, "His bone density is too low and fragile, he did manage to hit me, and he dislikes me, so he wanted to cause trouble."


    Kong Mingze eximed in shock, "What?! He hit you? How are you okay?"


    Quan Zhisui was rendered speechless by his exaggerated reaction.


    Wei Shixu handed him his phone and said, "It''s too noisy. See for yourself."


    Kong Mingze replied, "Oh, okay."


    At first, he watched the video while eating normally, but as soon as it finished ying, he froze in ce.


    Wei Shixu reached out his hand and said, "Give me back my phone after you''re done."


    Kong Mingze said, "Wait! Let me watch it again, I missed something."


    During the second viewing, he paid extra attention and soon started shouting in excitement.


    "Oh my gosh! I can''t believe it! Wow...just wow!"


    Quan Zhisui remained silent.


    Kong Mingze returned the phone and looked at Quan Zhisui with a different expression. Once again, he transformed into a curious baby and asked, "He really hit you in the video, but how did his bone ''snap'' like that? Are you just lucky, or is there some other reason?"


    Quan Zhisui replied, "I told you, his bones are brittle."


    Kong Mingze nodded vigorously, trying to understand. "So, your bones are strong?"


    That statement sounded strange.


    Quan Zhisui rolled up the sleeves of his uniform, revealing his forearms. "My bone density is high."


    Kong Mingze stared at his arms, his mouth forming an ''o'' shape in astonishment.


    He was indeed thin, but not fragile at all. He was lean!


    The shape of his arms looked artificial, as if there wasn''t an ounce of fat on them. Every muscle had an exceptionally pleasing contour, tightly adhering to the tendons and bones, resembling a perfect work of art.


    Especially the section from the wrist to the palm, which disyed a sense of motion as he held the chopsticks. asionally, the exposed tendons had a fatal allure.


    Whenbined with those ten slender fingers with distinct joints...


    Wei Shixu looked up and stared for a long time.


    However, Quan Zhisui merely revealed a glimpse and pulled his sleeves back up to continue eating, treating that scene as something ordinary.


    Wei Shixu''s gaze shifted from his hand to his face, and he suddenly smiled.


    Meanwhile, Kong Mingze continued babbling, "Oh my god, Quan Zhisui, you big liar! You said you came from the mountains? Can you work out in the mountains? No, your muscles aren''t big like a bodybuilder''s..."


    He scratched his head, feeling puzzled but unable to find the right words.


    Quan Zhisui said seriously, "I am from the mountains, Wudang Mountain."


    Kong Mingze widened his eyes and eximed, "Wu...ah?! Wudang Mountain!"


    Quan Zhisui nodded. "Yes, strictly speaking, it''s not working out. I''ve been practicing martial arts for over ten years."


    She had started imitating her senior brothers'' punches when she had just learned to walk.


    Kong Mingze was once again dumbfounded, his jaw dropping in astonishment. He opened his mouth but couldn''t find the words to express his emotions at this moment.


    Shock! Surprise! Admiration!


    He quickly grasped the opportunity and asked, "But why do you not appear physically strong at all? How do you generate such power?"


    Quan Zhisui replied, "Internal martial arts focus on training the tendons and bones, so the muscles are not prominent. External martial arts, on the other hand, emphasize muscr strength. I have been practicing internal martial arts."


    Moreover, female muscles are naturally different from those of males, so it''s quite challenging to develop bulky muscles. As for how she generates power, she couldn''t exin it clearly in a short time.


    "Hahaha! Zuo Zichen has met his match!" Kong Mingze eximed happily.


    He had been displeased with Zuo Zichen for a long time, always unting his family''s wealth and showing off at school.


    "Oh, by the way!" Kong Mingze had many questions and threw another one out, "Why does Zuo Zichen dislike you? You just transferred here, how did you provoke him?"


    Wei Shixu was more perceptive and asked directly, "Who is Zuo Zichen to you?"


    Quan Zhisui answered directly as well, "He''s my half-brother from the same father."


    Kong Mingze was dumbfounded!


    He suddenly recalled what Quan Zhisui had said in the morning when she arrivedte. Her mother had passed away shortly after her birth, and yesterday was the first time she had met her father. And now, there was a half-brother named Zuo Zichen.


    Kong Mingze immediately imagined a grand drama of family feuds in a prestigious household!

 Chapter 7: The Puzzling Operation of Wei Shi Shi

    <h4>Chapter 7</h4>


    After dinner, Quan Zhisui was called to the teacher''s office. Her head teacher, Qian Ya, asked about what had happened at lunch and gave her some simple words offort before letting her go.


    When it came to Zuo Zichen, the teachers seemed to turn a blind eye.


    When Quan Zhisui returned to the ssroom, Wei Shixu and Kong Mingze were not there.


    She had just sat down when a girl from the front row walked over - the top student in the ss. Quan Zhisui had seen her in the cafeteria before and quickly took the initiative to speak: "Thank you for just now in the cafeteria."


    At the time, she had been surrounded by a group of troublemaking students while Ding Xing seemed to want to smooth things over. This girl had stood by her side, arguing back with reason.


    "My name is Zhuge Ying. Nice to meet you, new ssmate," she said, sitting down in Kong Mingze''s seat next to her.


    Quan Zhisui adjusted her sitting position to face her. "Nice to meet you, Zhuge Ying."


    Zhuge Ying nced around the ssroom. "I saw you eating with Kong Mingze and Wei Shixu. Where did those two go?"


    Quan Zhisui shook her head. "I don''t know. I just came from the teacher''s office."


    "Oh," Zhuge Ying nodded her head, and then there was a long silence.


    Quan Zhisui opened her mouth, but couldn''t think of anything to say to continue the conversation. It was obvious that Zhuge Ying had something she wanted to tell her, but she didn''t say it.


    Or maybe she didn''t know how to say it?


    Zhuge Ying furrowed her brows for a long time before finally squeezing out: "You weren''t too scared today, were you? Zuo Zichen is just a petty thug! If you have any more trouble, go find Kong Mingze. Although his grades are bad, he''s kind-hearted and will definitely help."


    Quan Zhisui went along with her words. "Mm, I''m not afraid of Zuo Zichen."


    Zhuge Ying seemed to be struggling with something. She tentatively asked, "What do you think of Wei Shixu?"


    Quan Zhisui answered sincerely, "He helped me. He''s a good person."


    Zhuge Ying asked again, "Do you think he''s handsome? He''s recognized as the school''s top heartthrob. Many girls like him."


    Quan Zhisui replied very honestly: "Handsome."


    Zhuge Ying''s frown grew even tighter as she hesitated over what to say next.


    Just then, Kong Mingze''s loud voice came from the doorway: "Wei Shixu, hurry up! The ice is melting in the milk tea!"


    Zhuge Ying quickly nced towards the door. As she got up, she said softly, "Appearances can be deceiving. I''ll head back to my seat."


    Quan Zhisui was taken aback but nodded and said "Okay."


    Kong Mingze walked into the ssroom with his arm around Wei Shixu''s shoulders, immediately shouting towards the back corner upon entering: "Quan Zhisui! Have some milk tea!"


    Then he strode over to her.


    Wei Shixu broke free of Kong Mingze''s hold and nced lightly in Quan Zhisui''s direction before sitting back down in his front row seat.


    Kong Mingze swung three cups of milk tea in front of Quan Zhisui. "You pick first, we''ll drink what''s left."


    Quan Zhisui eximed happily, "Thank you!"


    She didn''t stand on ceremony either, quickly taking a cup. Her martial arts senior brothers who had gone down the mountain would bring her milk tea before, so she knew it wasn''t expensive.


    Kong Mingze said, "Hey! Wei Shixu bought you lunch, so I''m buying you milk tea. You''ll find time to teach me a move or twoter?"


    Quan Zhisui opened her milk tea and put it on the desk. "Sure, I''ll treat you when I get some money too."


    Kong Mingze immediately turned and shouted boastfully at Wei Shixu in the front row: "Quan Zhisui said she''ll treat me to milk tea! Hurry up ande pick one, or I''ll drink both!"


    Just then, a ssmate by the window called out, "Wei Shixu, someone''s looking for you outside!"


    Kong Mingze started jeering, "Ooh, the school hunk is so popr!"


    Quan Zhisui looked outside and saw a sweet-looking girl standing in the hallway, holding a cup of milk tea.


    Wei Shixu got up, but didn''t head straight for the door. Instead, he took a staggered step, turned around, and strode directly towards thest row until he reached Quan Zhisui and Kong Mingze''s seats. As he passed them...


    He reached out and took the cup of milk tea on Quan Zhisui''s desk.


    Quan Zhisui: "???"


    Kong Mingze: "???"


    Right after, Wei Shixu turned back around and walked towards the door, raising the milk tea in his hand at the girl outside as he went. "Got it already."


    He hadn''t even stepped out of the ssroom. His actions were baffling.


    The other students in the ss were shocked speechless. All their eyes were glued on Quan Zhisui, staring as if they wanted to see right through her.


    Kong Mingze had no idea what to say. He shoved the remaining two cups of milk tea onto Quan Zhisui''s desk. "He''s crazy, ignore him. Mine''s for you too."


    Quan Zhisui''s feelings wereplicated as she pushed one cup back. "One is enough for me, thanks."


    Outside in the hallway, Zhou Chun''s face was pale white. She looked deeply at Quan Zhisui, eyes reddening as she ran off.


    Kong Mingze was in a pretty bad mood after thatmotion. The milk tea remained untouched on the table.


    After a while, Zhuge Ying walked over. "Kong Mingze, you werete this morning and didn''t hand in your homework."


    Kong Mingze made a pained expression. "Ah, ss Rep, you know I never do my homework. Why do you ask me the same thing every day?"


    Zhuge Ying: "Just routine."


    Kong Mingze: "Howe you don''t ask Quan Zhisui for homework?"


    Zhuge Ying looked at him like he was an idiot. "It''s her first day transferring in."


    Kong Mingze pushed the milk tea into her arms. "Have this milk tea and give me a break today!"


    "Deal," Zhuge Ying took the milk tea and left, very readily.


    Kong Mingze was dumbfounded, then extremely delighted. "Why didn''t you say earlier you wanted milk tea? I''ll buy it for you every day from now on. Don''t ask me for homework anymore!"


    Zhuge Ying waved her hand without turning back.


    Kong Mingze''s mood instantly lifted as he started ying on his phone.


    Quan Zhisui watched Zhuge Ying''s retreating back, then looked at Kong Mingze, lost in thought.


    ...


    In the afternoon sses, Quan Zhisui still couldn''t understand and was learning in fits and starts. She was in low spirits as she packed up her schoolbag after the final bell.


    Kong Mingze, on the other hand, was fully rejuvenated. "Quan Zhisui, let''s go eat dinner at the cafeteria together. Bring Wei Shixu along too."


    Quan Zhisui shook her head. "I''m going home to eat. There''s dinner at the cafeteria too?"


    Kong Mingze said, "There are boarding students, like Wei Shixu. They have evening self-study too. We day students cane and go freely, but once we hit senior year, everyone has to attend evening self-studypulsorily."


    Quan Zhisui nced over at Wei Shixu, a little surprised that he was a boarder. This exined why he had so much money on his meal card.


    Unable to get Quan Zhisui to join him, Kong Mingze went straight to Wei Shixu. He hooked an arm around the other''s neck and dragged him towards the door. "Keep mepany for dinner! Cafeteria or eat out, you pick!"


    Wei Shixu pushed his hand away. "You''re so annoying."


    ...


    Quan Zhisui walked out of the school gate alone and headed to the bus stop.


    She didn''t have a cell phone, and the incident that morning meant she hadn''t seen the family driver either. But in all likelihood, no one would being to pick her up after school anyway.


    Quan Zhisui was very clear that she didn''t have any expectations of the Zuo family.


    There were many people at the bus stop going home after school, and the tform was crowded.


    While waiting for the bus, she overheard some girls behind her talking about what had happened at lunch.


    "I saw with my own eyes Zuo Zichen about to hit that girl, and Teacher Ding was biased. Wei Shixu came in holding evidence and shielded her!"


    "Wei Shixu held her hand too!"


    "That''s not all... You know what happened in ss 3 this afternoon with Zhou Chun looking for Wei Shixu?"


    "What what?"


    "Wei Shixu shared a cup of milk tea with a girl from their ss!"


    "Really? Zhou Chun said that?"


    "Zhou Chun was crying when she came back."


    "The same girl? Milk tea and cafeteria, it was the same person?"


    "I guess so..."


    "Oh my gosh! I thought Wei Shixu would end up with Zhou Chun for sure!"

 Chapter 8: One Punch, One Punch

    <h4>Chapter 8</h4>


    Quan Zhisui''s entire back stiffened. She really wanted to turn around and exin that she didn''t drink the milk tea together with him. She had just opened it and hadn''t drunk it yet before Wei Shixu took it away!


    But she was calm now, trying her best to keep her head down and lower her presence.


    Forget about the incident in the cafeteria. After all, it caused quite amotion so it''s normal for people to gossip about it around the school.


    But why were people also gossiping about what happened in ss?


    The girls behind her were still chatting...


    "But why did Zuo Zichen go after that girl?"


    "Tsk! He must have pursued her but got rejected, so Zuo Zichen got angry out of embarrassment!"


    "That''s Zuo Zichen''s style."


    "But why did Wei Shixu get involved? I heard he never cares about these kinds of things before. Rumor has it he was even toozy to be a ss officer."


    "Wei Shixu was also pursuing that girl!"


    "That makes sense..."


    Quan Zhisui: "!!!"


    Don''t make wild guesses!


    Quan Zhisui had been listening attentively with her head lowered. Suddenly she realized more people were in front of her, surrounding her.


    It was the group of problematic students who were with Zuo Zichen at the cafeteria during lunch.


    "We finally caught you. Quite good at hiding, huh!"


    "You were pretty cocky at the cafeteria during lunch, right? We looked you up, Grade 10 ss 1''s Quan Zhisui!"


    "My boss Zuo isn''t here this afternoon, otherwise you would''ve lost your hands and feet already. Messing with Boss Zuo, you think you''d get away with it?


    "No one can help you now. Boss Zuo''s business with you isn''t finished yet!"


    "Outside school, even teachers can''t help you."


    Quan Zhisui felt the crowd around her go silent. Behind her came the sound of several people gasping. She was a little desperate as she rubbed her forehead. She looked back awkwardly.


    Those girls were even more awkward. They didn''t expect the protagonist of their gossip would be standing right here.


    Quan Zhisui gave them an awkward smile, looking even more pathetic than crying. She was trying to diffuse the awkwardness, but the expression was naturally interpreted as a cry for help.


    The delinquent boys started shoving Quan Zhisui around.


    "Hey! We''re talking to you! Scared stupid?"


    "Stop wasting time chatting. Drag her to the alley and give her a beating!"


    "Don''t think we won''t hit girls. Even teachers get beaten for messing with Boss Zuo!"


    They were moring louder, even reaching out to tug at Quan Zhisui''s clothes and schoolbag.


    "No need to pull me. I''ll walk there myself." Quan Zhisui pried one person''s hand off and headed towards the nearby alley.


    Seeing Quan Zhisui being taken away like this, those girls panicked.


    "What do we do? What do we do? Call for help?"


    "Tell the teachers?"


    "We must tell the teachers!"


    "Find people first, find boys! Ones that can fight!"


    "Right! Get the boys to rescue her from the alley first, then find the teachers! It''ll be toote otherwise!"


    "Find Wei Shixu? I saw him heading to the cafeteria."


    "I don''t dare talk to Wei Shixu..."


    "Find Kong Mingze!"


    ...


    In the corner of the cafeteria, Kong Mingze was stillining about Wei Shixu snatching the milk tea this morning.


    Kong Mingze: "Why couldn''t you just let her have it? It was just a milk tea. You should''ve said earlier if you wanted that vor!"


    Wei Shixu looked at him without speaking.


    Kong Mingze was a little angry: "Can''t talk about you anymore? What do you mean staring at me like that?"


    Wei Shixu lowered his head to continue eating. He realized he truly had nothing inmon with this idiot.


    Kong Mingze continued: "We''ve been ssmates since elementary school to high school. That makes us brothers, doesn''t it? You have such a weird personality. Finally there''s such an easygoing ssmate, yet you have to upset her on purpose!"


    Wei Shixu''s eyebrows furrowed slightly, growing annoyed.


    Kong Mingze: "Don''t you think Quan Zhisui is really interesting? I hereby announce she''s my friend from now on. You''re not allowed to bully her."


    Wei Shixu was silent for a good several seconds before slowly uttering two words: "You''re sick..."


    Just then, several girls with schoolbags on their backs came running over, looking very flustered.


    "Kong Mingze! Help! "


    "Quan Zhisui was taken away by Zuo Zichen''sckeys!"


    Kong Mingze immediately stood up: "What? Where?"


    The girls'' faces were all white from panic and fear as they tried their best to exin clearly:


    "At the school gate, the bus stop."


    "Five people, all boys, very tall and strong."


    "They dragged Quan Zhisui into the alley!"


    After speaking, several of the girls were nearly in tears from anxiety. They were ordinary students, never having encountered something like this before, let alone happening right in front of them.


    Kong Mingze threw down his chopsticks and ran outside!


    Wei Shixu on the other hand slowly wiped his mouth before getting up.


    Wafers - one punch each.


    The girls who delivered the news were about to find a teacher after informing Kong Mingze. Although Zuo Zichen was quite prestigious at school, and that group of problematic students acted unscrupulously, they still needed teachers present to feel assured!


    But Wei Shixu stopped them: "Where are you going? Don''t find any teachers."


    The girls'' hearts all skipped a beat. Some were stunned by the school''s handsome idol at close range, while others were chilled by his ruthlessness. For a moment they couldn''t figure out whose side Wei Shixu was on.


    Why not let them find teachers?


    ...


    By the time Kong Mingze rushed to the alley first, his impulsive emotions instantly cooled down. He suddenly recalled that Quan Zhisui had been practicing martial arts since young!


    At this time in the alley, the delinquent boys were sprawled horizontally and vertically on the ground. Some were crying "Ow ow" in pain, while others grimaced in agony clutching their stomachs and breaking into cold sweat.


    As for Quan Zhisui, the alleged hostage, she was perfectly tidy and even had her schoolbag on her back, standing by unconcerned.


    "Thanks for telling me school regtions don''t apply outside school. I''ve been holding it in since yesterday."


    In fact, she had a bad temper. After taking abuse since yesterday, she was furious.


    Now she had finally vented some of it!


    Although she didn''t go all out, afraid of causing real harm. She had been holding back, only teaching them a lesson.


    The situation during lunch was different. Back then, Zuo Zichen was attacking her with full force. The bone fracture was from the shockwaves when she countered him. If he had attacked gently, there wouldn''t have been any fractures.


    Kong Mingze stood frozen in ce, his expression going from stunned, to confused, to sudden realization. His emotional rollercoaster was like a ride at an amusement park.


    He suddenly regretted not finishing his meal!


    Soon after, the girls who delivered the news arrived too. Seeing the scene in the alley, they were collectively dumbstruck.


    Wait, how was this different from what they imagined?


    Seeing them arrive, Kong Mingze suddenly pped his forehead: "You didn''t get any teachers, did you? Don''t find them no matter what!"


    Quan Zhisui had video evidence for what happened during lunch. She clearly didn''t make a move. But now things were different.


    She had beat them all down!


    Although it was this group of problematic students who started it...


    The girls collectively shook their heads, suddenly reacting to something as they looked back.


    Wei Shixu didn''t enter the alley. He just stood at the entrance with the corner of his lips curved in a mocking smile.


    Kong Mingze appropriately stepped up to handle the aftermath. First he waved at the girls to disperse the crowd: "Alright, nothing to see here. No one''s missing any limbs or bleeding. Just a minor conflict, a small scuffle!"


    After finishing up, he called towards Quan Zhisui: "Quan Zhisui, you should leave too! Hurry home, didn''t you say you were going back for dinner?"


    Quan Zhisui nodded and immediately went to catch the bus.


    Dinner was served promptly at 6pm at the Zuo residence. That chef really cooked delicious meals!

 Chapter 9: Quan Zhisui scared Gu LAN silly

    <h4>Chapter 9</h4>


    After everyone else had left, Wei Shixu finally walked into the alley, chuckling softly as he looked at the five guys lying on the ground: "Got your asses handed to you by one girl, how embarrassing is that you fragile cookies?"


    The five men''s faces were all flushed red, but they still talked big.


    "Just you wait! When Big Bro Zuoes back you''ll be sorry!"


    "Big Bro Zuo won''t let you off easy!"


    Wei Shixu sneered, "Zuo Zichen? He wouldn''t dare talk to me like that. Go ask him if you don''t believe me."


    The five men''s expressions shifted uncertainly.


    Zuo Zichen was always causing trouble at Liang Secondary School. He''d fight anyone worth knowing in grades 10, 11 and 12. Sometimes he didn''t even spare the girls. Teachers didn''t dare cross him either. His specialty was bullying and tormenting his fellow students through violence.


    But Wei Shixu...


    It was as if Zuo Zichen intentionally avoided confronting this person. He''d never shed with Wei Shixu before.


    You had to know, Wei Shixu had quite a reputation at Liang Secondary School. With his looks and grades, he was the ideal type for most of the girls there.


    And Zuo Zichen''s goal was to be the big boss at Liang. Could he tolerate someone above him?


    The more you thought about it, the more strange it seemed!


    Someone asked, "Are you here as back up for Quan Zhisui?"


    With the super fighter Quan Zhisui and the mysterious Wei Shixu on her side, how could they get revenge for Zuo Zichen?


    Wei Shixu lowered his eyes to look at them. The setting sun shone on him from behind, obscuring his expression in silhouette.


    "No, I simply came tough at you."


    After leaving them with those words, Wei Shixu exited the alley.


    Kong Mingze had just seen the girls off. He turned around and happened to run into Wei Shixu. "Huh? Where''d you run off to?"


    Wei Shixu: "Just went to have some fun."


    Kong Mingze: "?"


    Why did he not understand what Wei Shixu was saying?


    -----------------


    Quan Zhisui arrived at the Zuo residence right before dinner. Gu Lan came out to help carry her schoolbag. The chef had already prepared the evening meal.


    As usual, only Quan Zhisui was eating.


    "Where is everyone else?" Quan Zhisui asked.


    Gu Lan''s hand shook. "Young Master Zichen hurt his hand. The master and madam are at the hospital."


    So Zuo Zichen was still in the hospital?


    Quan Zhisui knew the deal. His hand was definitely broken, but the fracture wasn''t severe enough to warrant staying overnight. Under normal circumstances, a cast would allow him to go home.


    Gu Lan added, "The elder master and madam are on their way back. They should arrive in Liangxi Town around 11pm tonight."


    Quan Zhisui lowered her head to eat without responding.


    They''d abandoned their long lost granddaughter for 17 years, making excuses to avoid seeing her after she returned. But at news of their ruffian grandson getting injured in a fight, they rushed back home overnight. Their attitude was crystal clear.


    Seeing she had no reaction, Gu Lan gently reminded her, "Young Miss Zhisui, since Young Master Zichen is injured, the family will be on edge. Please be extra careful not to displease the master and madam."


    "Mm." Quan Zhisui nodded, then said, "Give me my dad''s number."


    She didn''t even have her own biological father''s contact information.


    Gu Lan swiftly recited the number and urged, "When you speak to him, be a little sweeter with your words. Young Master Zichen''s injury shouldn''t be too severe. I heard it was from a schoolmate. Whoever hurt him is sure to suffer. The master and madam are very upset right now."


    She was teaching Quan Zhisui how to gain favor since the sudden change in status meant she knew nothing about the Zuo family members'' temperaments.


    Quan Zhisui gave Gu Lan a look. In the end, she didn''t reveal the truth.


    It was her who had broken Zuo Zichen''s hand.


    As she ate, she called Zuo Zhiyu. When he picked up, she directly said, "Dad, give me money for living expenses. I don''t have money for food at school."


    Gu Lan''s eyes widened in disbelief. Not only did Quan Zhisui ignore her advice and argue with her father right off the bat, she didn''t even bother with small talk before hitting him up for money while he was already angry?


    You have no fear at all!


    Zuo Zhiyu paused for a few seconds over the phone before yelling furiously, "Your brother is lying in the hospital right now! Do you have a conscience? You shameless, unfilial girl! You don''t even ask about your brother''s injury and still have the audacity to ask me for money?"


    Quan Zhisui: "So I should just starve at school?"


    Zuo Zhiyu: "You only miss a few meals! It won''t kill you to go hungry! But Zichen''s hand is broken!"


    Quan Zhisui: "It''s just his hand that''s broken. Being out ofmission for a few days won''t kill him either."


    Zuo Zhiyu: "You!"


    Quan Zhisui: "So are you giving me money or not? If not, send me back to the mountains. Don''t dy me."


    Zuo Zhiyu cursed some more before demanding, "Come to the hospital right now to take care of your brother!"


    Quan Zhisui narrowed her eyes. "No. Please fulfill your guardian duties and give me living expenses."


    Zuo Zhiyu: "I regret ever giving birth to a daughter like you!"


    Quan Zhisui: "Then send me away as soon as possible. I can''t wait."


    She brought up being ''sent away'' again, then calmly ate a piece of meat, waiting for Zuo Zhiyu''s reaction.


    Gu Lan beside her had already turned to stone, looking at Quan Zhisui with shocked eyes!


    She''s actually arguing with the master?!


    Heavens!


    Zuo Zhiyu fell silent for a long time over the phone. This time he didn''t scold her. Instead, his tone suddenly softened. "Zhisui, your brother is injured. Dad was just angry earlier and spoke too harshly. It''s wonderful you were finally able toe home. How could you leave? You''re dad''s own daughter!"


    Quan Zhisui narrowed her eyes and swallowed the meat in her mouth. She lightly tapped her chopsticks twice.


    Just what did she have that made Zuo Zhiyu so concerned about her?


    Guardian...


    Zuo Zhiyu was terrified of losing this guardian status.


    What could that let him obtain?


    Zuo Zhiyu went on trying to move her with soothing words, babbling on sentimentally.


    Quan Zhisui was pondering something else the whole time, not listening at all. When her thoughts were in order, she directly interrupted him. "Mm, then give me money for living expenses. Transfer it to me now."


    Gu Lan was nearly scared to fainting!


    Arguing with the master was bad enough, but he finally softened his tone to speak nicely. Yet she actually dared to interrupt the master mid-sentence!


    Was she not afraid of incurring his wrath again?!


    But beyond Gu Lan''s expectations...


    Zuo Zhiyu didn''t get angry. He just paused briefly before asking, "How much do you need?"


    Quan Zhisui: "Ten thousand."


    She didn''t have a clear grasp on the Zuo family''s assets, nor was she interested. She just blurted out this number after seeing the bnce on Wei Shixu''s meal card.


    Ten thousand was enough for her to eat until graduating high school.


    Zuo Zhiyu agreed on the spot. Clearly ten thousand was pocket change to him, but he was too long-winded in lecturing. He started thering on again.


    Quan Zhisui had no patience for it. She turned her phone face down on the table and resumed eating, leaving Zuo Zhiyu to prattle on by himself.


    After talking for a few minutes, Zuo Zhiyu noticed something was off. His voice loudly projected from the earpiece, "Hello? Hello! Bad signal? Zhisui?? Zhisui!!"


    Quan Zhisui ignored him as if she didn''t hear, eating with great relish.


    Soon after, the call disconnected. Before long, the ten thousand living expenses were transferred to her ount.


    Gu Lan beside her was stunned once more by her actions, eyes shifting from shock to fear. She clutched her heart and eximed she couldn''t handle it.


    The Zuo family''s daughter was formidable!

 Chapter 10: The Magic Mirror

    <h4>Chapter 10</h4>


    The hospital.


    In the luxurious private ward, Zuo Zichen was lying on his side.


    In fact, the doctor had advised him to go home and rest, but his parents were too worried and forcibly arranged for him to stay in the luxury ward, insisting on observing him for a night before they could feel at ease.


    Xu Zhiyi was so distressed: ¡°Son, who beat you like this in the end? Tell Mom!¡±


    Zuo Zichen''s voice was muffled: ¡°I fell by myself.¡±


    Xu Zhiyi: ¡°This is clearly a beating. If you don''t tell me, I''ll go to school to check!¡±


    Zuo Zichen was anxious: ¡°Mom! Can you give me some privacy? And give me some face, okay?"


    Xu Zhiyi had topromise: ¡°Okay, okay, whatever you say.¡±


    At this moment, Zuo Zhiyu''s angry shouts came from outside the door.


    Xu Zhiyi sneered coldly: ¡°Your sister from the countryside doesn''t even know toe and see you. She grew up in a remote rural area, so she has no family education at all.¡±


    Zuo Zichen was rarely silent and didn''t say a word.


    Zuo Zhiyu''s loud phone call could be heard from the beginning of his anger toter starting to persuade gently. The room could hear everything.


    Xu Zhiyi frowned, her expression bing more and more dissatisfied.


    Zuo Zichen was apprehensive, somewhat shocked. He didn''t know what Quan Zhisui had told Dad that could make Dad''s attitude change so much.


    Finally, Zuo Zhiyu hung up the phone and walked in.


    Xu Zhiyi immediately spoke sarcastically: ¡°Finished talking with your good daughter? Have you forgotten that your son is still lying in the hospital bed?!¡±


    Zuo Zhiyu was very annoyed: ¡°You talk less!¡±


    Xu Zhiyi didn''t dare argue with him either, sitting sullenly on the sofa.


    Zuo Zhiyu looked at his son and asked the same question as Xu Zhiyi: "Zichen, tell Dad, who at school dared to touch you? Dad will make him lose his hands and feet!"


    Zuo Zichen nced at Zuo Zhiyu, nced at Xu Zhiyi again, and still didn''t say who made his hand broken. Instead, he asked another question: "How much money did you give Quan Zhisui?"


    Zuo Zhiyu was stunned for a moment, and said, "Your sister didn''t have money to eat at school, so I gave her 10,000 yuan."


    Xu Zhiyiughed aloud: ¡°What a poor country bumpkin, only daring to ask for 10,000 yuan for living expenses, it''sughable!"


    Zuo Zichen alsoughed, and felt a little better.


    Zuo Zhiyu then seemed to think of something and asked, "By the way son, it''s been so long since school started, have you made friends with the young master of the Wei family?"


    Zuo Zichen''s face suddenly changed, and he shook his head.


    Xu Zhiyi was a little angry: ¡°Your son is injured and you talk to him about these things!¡±


    Zuo Zhiyu red at her: "What do you know! If the son stays in the hospital for a few more days, it might allow the young master of the Wei family toe and visit, do you know how much investment that could bring me? "


    Xu Zhiyi: ¡°I don''t know! I only know that my son''s hand is broken, and you''re still thinking about how to curry favor with the Wei family!¡±


    Zuo Zhiyu: ¡°You only care about these little things, no foresight!¡±


    Zuo Zichen''s face was even worse, and his other uninjured hand was tightly clutching his cell phone, with sweat oozing from his palm.


    After he was sent away at noon, the little brothers in the cafeteria all told him that they knew Wei Shixu had intervened, so Zuo Zichen had been very worried ever since.


    Later, when that group of his little brothers went to make trouble for Quan Zhisui, they didn''t beat her. This was originally nothing, and Zuo Zichen also found that Quan Zhisui was very good at fighting.


    He had even thought of various ways to get back at Quan Zhisui. He could spend money to hire someone to continue beating her every day. No matter how good Quan Zhisui was, she couldn''t possibly fight hundreds of people alone, right?


    If that didn¡¯t work, he could do something sinister.


    But Zuo Zichen didn''t expect that after Quan Zhisui beat people up, a ssmate who was unrted would call someone to help her, and the one called was Kong Mingze.


    Up to this point, Zuo Zichen was just surprised, he could still ept it.


    Kong Mingze''s family got rich by winning the lottery and then opening hot pot restaurants. Up to now, they had only opened several chain hot pot restaurants. In Liangxi City, they didn¡¯t even have any status, and were at most just the bottomyer of upstarts in the rich circle.


    Zuo Zichen didn¡¯t pay any attention to Kong Mingze at all.


    But in the end, things gradually went terribly wrong!


    Wei Shixu actually appeared again!


    Not only did he ridicule the uselessness of those little brothers, he even revealed contempt for Zuo Zichen himself.


    If it was someone else speaking like this, Zuo Zichen probably would have exploded with anger long ago and started looking for people to block him, block him to death, beat him to death!


    But Wei Shixu...


    Zuo Zichen didn''t even dare to tell his parents the truth about the fracture.


    -----------------


    After dinner, Quan Zhisui went back to her room to do homework. She doubted life with this difficult homework that she hadn''t finished even untilte at night when she was already drowsy.


    At this moment, Gu Lan knocked on the door with a ss of milk: ¡°Miss Zhisui, may Ie in?¡±


    "Come in." Quan Zhisui turned around with a lifeless look on her face. She had be numb from doing homework.


    Gu Lan was very apprehensive as she pushed the door open. She realized that she was outrageously wrong, and her attitude had changed from initial sympathy to fear.


    After all, she was a proper youngdy from a prestigious family. Even after suffering outside for more than ten years, many things were inherent.


    Gu Lan asked carefully, "Tired? Drink some milk."


    Quan Zhisui drank up the milk in one gulp, and suddenly recalled something. She asked, "Auntie Gu, how long have you been with the Zuo family?"


    Gu Lan quickly replied, "A little over three years."


    Quan Zhisui nodded and continued to ask, "How much do you know about the Zuo family''s affairs?"


    Gu Lan was very nervous and answered, "I know everything within three years, but not before that."


    Quan Zhisui didn''t make things difficult for her, and instead asked, "How many drivers does the Zuo family have?"


    Gu Lan answered everything she knew without reservation: ¡°There are three drivers, Zhao Lin, Fang Yue, and Xu Kuang.


    Zhao Lin is responsible for sending Young Master Zichen to and from school and serving Madam. Fang Yue has been Master''s exclusive driver for twenty years. Xu Kuang is responsible for Old Master and Old Madam."


    Quan Zhisui kept twirling her pen and asked, "The two elders are not in Liangxi City these days. Was Xu Kuang free this morning?"


    Gu Lan was even starting to sweat as she nodded, "Yes."


    Quan Zhisui: ¡°I see, give me their phone numbers.¡±


    Gu Lan heaved a sigh of relief: ¡°Okay Miss Zhisui, do you want to ask Xu Kuang about something?¡±


    She naturally assumed this - among the three drivers except Fang Yue, the other two could coordinate with each other. The youngdy waste for school this morning, it was Xu Kuang¡¯s negligence.


    But unexpectedly, Quan Zhisui denied and asked back, "What do I want with Xu Kuang?"


    Gu Lan looked up and met a pair of bright and clear eyes, as transparent as a mirror that could reflect all sorts of monsters.


    She couldn''t help reminding: "Xu Kuang''s surname is Xu..."


    "Oh, so?" Quan Zhisui smiled, "Even if his surname was Zuo I wouldn''t look for him."


    Gu Lan opened her mouth but didn''t speak for a long time.


    ...


    At eleven o''clock at night, Fang Yue sent Zuo Zhiyu and Xu Zhiyi back to the Zuo residence. After seeing them walk through the main entrance, he drove to the underground garage.


    At this moment, his phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number.


    At first, Fang Yue didn''t take it seriously and casually answered the call: ¡°Hello?¡±


    Unexpectedly, a very young voice came from the receiver: ¡°Hello Fang Yue, I¡¯m Quan Zhisui.¡±


    Fang Yue¡¯s heart skipped a beat at that moment!


    He had expected the girl to look for him, but didn''t expect it to be so soon!

 Chapter 11: Here we go, Here She Goes

    <h4>Chapter 11</h4>


    That night, Quan Zhisui still did not sleep well, but she had already formed the habit of getting up early. She yawned and got up before sunrise to go to the empty yard to practice martial arts.


    After moving to Liang''s house, she did not have enough time to practice basic skillsyer byyer like before. She only had this short time in the morning to take advantage of, so after warming up, she hurried to practice fiercely. In a short while, she was drenched in sweat.


    In addition to the main building, there were also side rooms on the left and right of the huge yard, where cleaning staff, nannies, chefs and drivers lived, so there were still many people.


    Most of the wealthy households had to get up early. At this time, they gathered in the small dining room in the corner of the wing room to have breakfast. After the meal, they had to start working around the employer for a whole day.


    This was the second day in a row they saw Quan Zhisui get up early to practice martial arts.


    The chef Ma Xinwei said vibrantly, "The young miss finished the dish I''m good at yesterday. I have to make something different for her at dinner today. Seeing her eat makes me feel good."


    Gu Lan next to him alsoughed. "It was delicious."


    Ma Xinwei said, "Of course! She''s growing up! When I was her age, I could eat even more than her!"


    Zhao Linined, "How can youpare with her? How much do you weigh and how much does she weigh? You''re as round as a ball! I suspect you secretly eat the good food of the employer every day!"


    Ma Xinwei red at him, "How can that be called stealing food? It''s called tasting the vor!"


    Fang Yue nced at these people and instructed, "Little Zhao, don''t bete sending the young miss to school today."


    Zhao Lin nodded, "I know, yesterday I had no choice. I can''t refuse the young master either or I''ll get scoldedter."


    Fang Yue looked at the empty seat on the table. That was Xu Kuang''s seat.


    He asked, "Did the old master and old madam go straight to the hospitalst night and stay all night?"


    Zhao Lin said, "Probably."


    At this moment, Ma Xinwei quickly gobbled down two more mouthfuls and got up, "It''s almost time. I have to go prepare breakfast for the young miss. She''s the only one in this family who eats properly on time. I feel very aplished."


    Gu Lan put down her chopsticks. "The young miss will take a bathter. I''ll go prepare."


    In just two days, she had already figured out Quan Zhisui''s lifestyle.


    Zhao Lin yawned.


    Fang Yue saw it and said, "Take a nap after sending the young miss back. Young Master Zicheng probably won''t need the car these days."


    Zhao Lin grimaced without responding.


    At this moment, a special ringtone sounded. After giving Fang Yue a look, Zhao Lin answered and hung up after half a minute. He became at a loss.


    Fang Yue asked, "What''s wrong?"


    Zhao Lin said in disbelief, "The young master is discharged and wants me to pick him up."


    Fang Yue frowned. "Now?"


    Zhao Lin said anxiously as he scratched his head, "Yes! He said the car only had the two elders and a lot of stuff, not enough for one car. What about sending the young miss to school? I can''t not send her two days in a row!"


    Everyone knew that Fang Yue absolutely could not send Quan Zhisui to school. First, he was Zuo Zhiyu''s dedicated driver, and second, Quan Zhisui had just been brought back and was the unfavored rural young miss.


    This matter had the taste of intrigue in a wealthy household.


    Fang Yue got up and put on his suit. "I''ll pick up the young master."


    Zhao Lin stared wide-eyed in shock. "You? What about the master..."


    Fang Yue wore sses, the lenses shing. "The master''s precious son is injured. He needs a steady, experienced driver to pick him up. You''re too young, you can''t do it."


    Zhao Lin nodded wildly. "That makes so much sense!"


    ...


    At 6:55 in the morning, Quan Zhisui ate breakfast full and went to the third floor with her schoolbag.


    Knock knock!


    She knocked on Zuo Zhiyu''s door.


    Oh, this should be a suite too, so Quan Zhisui walked right in, through the huge living room to the bedroom door.


    Knock knock knock!


    "Dad!" Quan Zhisui''s voice was clear and loud.


    Knock knock knock! Knock knock knock!


    She knocked on the door, pounding on it.


    When Xu Zhiyi was woken up by the noise, she thought she was dreaming at first. As the wealthy madam anddy of the Zuo family, she had not been disturbed while resting for more than ten years.


    Who dared to?


    Bang! Bang bang bang!


    The knocking grew louder, turning into pounding that made the walls shake.


    Xu Zhiyi woke uppletely in disbelief. Was it an earthquake or the sky falling down?


    In the customized big bed, Zuo Zhiyu beside her was sleeping like a pig, snoring loudly without any sign of waking up.


    The time was 6:57 am.


    Xu Zhiyi was instantly furious!


    She rushed over and opened the bedroom door. Before she saw anyone, she yelled, "Looking to die so early in the morning?!"


    At the door stood Quan Zhisui, dressed neatly in her school uniform.


    Xu Zhiyi wished she could tear this face to pieces. Her voice became hysterical. "Quan Zhisui! Do you have any manners? Making a racket so early in the morning! Why don''t you just go die?!"


    Quan Zhisui''s expression was calm as she stepped forward into the room. "I''m looking for my dad."


    Xu Zhiyi became even more angry. She blocked the door. "Who allowed you toe in?! What do you think you are, looking for dad here?! There is no dad of yours in the Zuo family! Get out of here!"


    Quan Zhisui pretended to be surprised. "Ah? I don''t have a dad? Then I''ll go back to the vige."


    Xu Zhiyi went crazy trying to push her out. "Get back to your vige! I''ll send you back right now! It''d be best if you died there!"


    Quan Zhisui understood. Xu Zhiyi didn''t know the inside story. She easily dodged to the side, effortlessly causing the other to miss. Her steps were steady as she walked into the bedroom.


    "Dad!" Quan Zhisui''s crisp voice sounded clearly by the bed.


    Zuo Zhiyu had actually woken up earlier, but was still groggy when he first woke up. With Xu Zhiyi''s screams and curses ringing in his ears, it took him a while to react to where he was.


    Not until this "Dad!" did his mind gradually return, but like Xu Zhiyi, his first reaction was still anger.


    "Quan Zhisui! What are you up to so early in the morning?!" Zuo Zhiyu yelled even louder than Xu Zhiyi, drowning out the woman''s screams.


    Xu Zhiyi stopped yelling now, alsopletely awake. She crossed her arms and stood to the side sneering coldly. "What a good daughter, wishing she could tear down the door!"


    Quan Zhisui ignored Xu Zhiyi and looked at Zuo Zhiyu. "Dad, good morning! I''m going to school now, just letting you know."


    Zuo Zhiyu was about to go crazy. "Just for this? You woke me up so early just for this? Are you sick?!"


    Xu Zhiyi was also crazy. "Zuo Zhiyu! Send her away! If she doesn''t leave, I''m leaving!"


    Quan Zhisui looked innocent but spoke shockingly. "Dad, you''re yelling at me, your mistress is always shouting to send me away, your illegitimate son is also targeting me. Why don''t you just give up being my guardian?"


    Silence¡ª


    The noisy bedroom instantly became deathly silent.


    Xu Zhiyi''s face was distorted with anger. Her mouth gaped several times wanting to curse but her mind went nk, not knowing where to start.


    Mistress, illegitimate son...


    The disgraceful past that no one had mentioned for years was just bluntly brought up by Quan Zhisui!


    Who told her about these things?!

 Chapter 12: No

    <h4>Chapter 12</h4>


    Unlike Xu Zhiyi''s focus, what Zuo Zhiyu heard was: ''Dad...sent me away...give up guardianship...''


    "No!!!"


    He sat up abruptly, didn''t even have time to put on his clothes, and firmly grabbed Quan Zhisui''s shoulders. He tried his best to restrain his anger after being woken up, and forcibly made himself look kind.


    Zuo Zhiyu took a deep breath, his voice gentle: "Good daughter, I''m your dad! How could you leave your dad? You are dad''s good daughter, dad''s first child, dad''s precious darling!"


    Xu Zhiyi was shocked, with an expression on her face like she had swallowed a fly.


    Quan Zhisui tilted her head, pretending to be innocent as she asked: "Then why were you yelling at me? I just wanted to say good morning to dad."


    Zuo Zhiyu immediately smiled along, with an extremely exaggerated smile: "Good morning! Of course it''s good morning! Dad wants to say good morning to you too!"


    "Okay dad, then I''m going to school!" Quan Zhisui waved with her school bag on her back.


    "Good good! Have a good day at school!" Zuo Zhiyu didn''t dare miss a word, keeping his voice loud, forcibly maintaining enthusiasm.


    After Quan Zhisui left, Xu Zhiyi rushed over to close the door, then angrily walked back, picked up a pillow and started hitting Zuo Zhiyu.


    "What do you mean? Didn''t you hear what she just said?!" She desperately released her dissatisfaction.


    But Zuo Zhiyu''s good temper was gone. He yelled even more irritably than her: "Enough! Shut up!"


    Xu Zhiyi''s chest heaved angrily: "Zuo Zhiyu, why do you have to bring her back?! I''ve been with you for so many years, that little bitch called me a mistress, and you still..."


    "Weren''t you before?!" Zuo Zhiyu retorted, his face also bing fierce: "I warn you, make another fuss and we''ll divorce! Get out of the Zuo family!"


    Xu Zhiyi instantly didn''t dare to speak again. Her only reliance was Zuo Zhiyu. If Zuo Zhiyu drove her away, she would have nothing left.


    She couldn''t bear to give up the Zuo family''s wealth and the aristocratic life she had enjoyed over the years.


    "Dear, I was just mad, I didn''t mean to get angry with you." Xu Zhiyi immediately changed her attitude, pitifully leaning over to massage Zuo Zhiyu''s temples.


    Zuo Zhiyu, in a bad mood, didn''t speak, resting with eyes closed.


    Xu Zhiyi didn''t dare make another sound either.


    ...


    When Quan Zhisui walked downstairs, she met Gu Lan at the stairs on the second floor.


    At this moment, Gu Lan was in a state of shock, having obviously heard the voices from the third floor just now.


    The sound Quan Zhisui made mming the door was so loud, and the door remained open the whole time. Xu Zhiyi was yelling loudly with prating power, Zuo Zhiyu''s roars were unrestrained...


    It would be strange not to hear anything.


    "Good morning, Aunt Gu. I''m going to school now." Quan Zhisui greeted her calmly.


    Gu Lan hurriedly nodded: "Alright Miss, take care on the road."


    She was so scared that even the form of address had changed.


    The time when Quan Zhisui walked out the door was 7:05. An expensive ck Bentley was parked there waiting.


    As soon as Zhao Lin caught sight of the figure, he immediately got out of the driver''s seat, rushed over to take Quan Zhisui''s schoolbag, then went around to the back seat to open the door and shield her. His actions were smooth and practiced.


    "Thank you." Quan Zhisui smiled at him and bent down to get in the back seat.


    "You''re wee, Miss." Zhao Lin closed the car door, then went around to the other side back seat to properly set down Quan Zhisui''s schoolbag before returning to the driver''s seat and starting the car.


    The drive was silent. At 7:25 they arrived at Liang Secondary School.


    After parking, Zhao Lin went through the standard routine again of going around to open the back door and shield her. He even wanted to help carry her schoolbag, but Quan Zhisui took it herself.


    Watching Quan Zhisui walk into the school, he let out a breath, finallypleting the task of sending Miss to school.


    At the front gate, cars came and went as students poured into the campus.


    Wearing her school uniform, Quan Zhisui didn''t stand out at all in the crowd, but the several hundred thousand dor Bentley did, not to mention the chauffeured escort scene.


    She hadn''t gone far before people were already whispering.


    "Who''s that girl? Is her family that rich?"


    "Quan Zhisui in 10th grade, transferred in."


    "The one who beat Zuo Zichen into the hospital yesterday?"


    "Damn, how did it get distorted into this? It was Zuo Zichen who beat her, breaking his own hand and going to the hospital."


    "The video has spread everywhere. Zuo Zichen was like possessed, super weird."


    "Didn''t you watch it slow motion? Zuo Zichen hit her, but his hand broke when he made contact. I suspect Quan Zhisui practices martial arts!"


    "There were also problem students who went to block her yesterday, but the five of themy in the alley for a good while unable to get up. She didn''t have a scratch."


    "For real? Tell me the details!"


    "No one knows the details. It''s said some girls know the whole process but they absolutely refuse to talk!"


    "Who''s family is richer, Zuo Zichen or Quan Zhisui? What would happen if they collide?"


    "Didn''t she already collide him into the hospital?"


    "Haha!"


    ...


    Quan Zhisui didn''t care about the gossip. She didn''t even hear it. Sitting down in ss now, she started feeling down.


    What to do? She didn''t finish her homework yesterday.


    Kong Mingze wasn''tte today. Holding two milk teas, he walked into the ssroom: "ss monitor! I brought you milk tea!"


    "Did you do your homework?" Zhuge Ying asked.


    Kong Mingze drooped his face: "Choose between homework and milk tea."


    Zhuge Ying: "Milk tea."


    "That''s my monitor!" Kong Mingze grinned, then walked to the back row: "Quan Zhisui, there''s also one for you."


    "Thanks, I''ll also treat you to one at lunch." Quan Zhisui said, then listlessly slumped over the desk.


    Kong Mingze: "What''s up with you, why so down?"


    Quan Zhisui looked at him hesitantly: "You never do homework, is that okay?"


    Kong Mingze scratched his head: "I don''t want to do it. And I can''t figure it out anyway."


    Quan Zhisui: "Then what''s the point of going to school?"


    Kong Mingze: "Uh..."


    Quan Zhisui changed the question: "Aren''t you taking the college entrance exam either?"


    Kong Mingze thought for a bit: "I''ll take it, but I have a backup n. If I don''t get in, I''ll go home and help my parents run their hot pot restaurant, heh heh!"


    Quan Zhisui: "Oh..."


    So enviable.


    Just then, the subject representatives started collecting homework. When they got to Quan Zhisui, she didn''t hand in assignments for three subjects. The ss rep didn''t say anything, as if used to this kind of situation.


    Quan Zhisui pulled Kong Mingze and asked softly: "Is it okay that I didn''t hand in homework?"


    Kong Mingze: "Well, it''s a key high school, studying is up to you."


    Quan Zhisui was even more surprised: "Then why did the monitor specially ask you?"


    It made her think not doing homework was a big deal yesterday, up until a minute ago her whole being was panicked.


    Kong Mingze looked aggrieved: "I know right! Collecting homework isn''t even her job, why does she ask me about it every day?!"


    Quan Zhisui: "Special attention..."


    Just then, a figure walked over from the front row, voice cold:


    "Quan Zhisui, you didn''t hand in homework for three subjects."


    It was Wei Shixu.

 Chapter 13: I want to Punch him in the face.

    <h4>Chapter 13</h4>


    Quan Zhisui: "???"


    She was dumbfounded for a moment, her eyeballs froze and unable to move.


    Wei Shixu''s mouth raised in a smile, but his eyes shed sharply: "Kong Mingze entered on tuition fees, so he''s a visiting student and doesn''t affect Liang Secondary School''s promotion rate. You''re different, your student record is with Liang."


    Meaning she would embarrass the school if her grades were low.


    Quan Zhisui: "......"


    The ssroom had already quieted down when Wei Shixu walked over. After he finished speaking, the entire ssroom was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.


    Everyone''s gaze focused on thest row, shining on him.


    Quan Zhisui was silent for a while. She sensed something but wasn''t sure, so she looked at Wei Shixu''s cold, vicious eyes for a bit.


    Yeah, still those very cold, poisonous eyes, but with a trace of strange light mixed in.


    Couldn''t say if he disliked her or what, but he was definitely deliberately messing with her.


    Kong Mingze was also dumbfounded and asked: "Wei Shixu, aren''t you not a ss monitor? Howe you''re checking homework?"


    Wei Shixu red coldly at Kong Mingze, then looked back at Quan Zhisui. He tapped the desk with his fingers.


    Tap...tap...


    "So, where''s your homework?" he asked.


    Quan Zhisui replied: "I don''t know how, so I didn''t write it."


    Wei Shixu seemed to smile but not smile as he pressed: "You don''t know so you don''t write it, you didn''t ask ssmates?"


    Quan Zhisui opened then closed her mouth.


    Today was only her second day after transferring. How could she have met so many weird people and things!


    "Quan Zhisui, if you don''t understand you can ask me." Zhuge Ying suddenly spoke up. Her voice was like a melody in the extremely quiet environment.


    Quan Zhisui hurriedly shouted at her: "Okay! Thank you!"


    Zhuge Ying: "You''re wee, I''m the ss monitor, it''s natural to help ssmates."


    At this moment, Quan Zhisui noticed Wei Shixu''s eyes narrow. He didn''t look back at Zhuge Ying, just kept staring at Quan Zhisui.


    The atmosphere was so weird even Kong Mingze stuttered: "Wow, ss monitor, uh, ss monitor so nice, ss monitor studies well..."


    Wei Shixu nced sideways at Kong Mingze, who immediately shut up.


    Quan Zhisui thought for a bit then said: "I''ll ask the ss monitor for help with studying, thanks for the reminder."


    Wei Shixu didn''t speak, just turned and left, taking Quan Zhisui''s milk tea from her desk as he went.


    Kong Mingze: "???"


    Who could tell him what was going on! Why did Wei Shixu take the milk tea again!


    Quan Zhisui frowned, then abruptly stood up and asked loudly: "Then may I ask if you did your homework, Wei Shixu?"


    She thought someone who watched horror movies during ss wouldn''t obediently do homework.


    Kong Mingze gaped in shock, looking at her like a brave warrior.


    The entire 1st ss was also shocked, gasping.


    Heavens!


    The transfer student actually dared to ask Wei Shixu for homework?


    Who in the school didn''t know ss 10 Grade 2 had two entrics: Wei Shixu, the grade''s top student, and Kong Mingze, the school''s bottom student. Neither ever did homework.


    Wei Shixu looked back at her andughed,ughed recklessly: "No."


    "Then give my milk tea back." Quan Zhisui met his gaze.


    Wei Shixu''s smile vanished in an instant. His aura was very cold and fierce as he stood there unmoving, eyes fixed on Quan Zhisui without blinking.


    1 second, 2 seconds...


    "Give it back." Quan Zhisui spoke firmly.


    Wei Shixu''s hand suddenly flung to the side, throwing the milk tea out the window!


    His actions were shocking.


    Another round of gasps sounded around them. Some timid girls even stood up, nning to temporarily leave this troublesome ce.


    A few boys wanted toe over to advise restraint, but didn''t dare approach.


    They hadn''t expected Quan Zhisui to confront Wei Shixu!


    Wei Shixu was a special existence at Liang Secondary School. He wasn''t a problem student trying to be a school bully like Zuo Zichen, but he definitely wasn''t a good student in the traditional sense either.


    He was weird.


    If someone was blinded by his signature smile and tried to get close or suppress him...


    They would definitely suffer misfortune!


    After throwing away the milk tea, Wei Shixu smiled again, not fake this time but arrogant.


    Raging mes zed in Quan Zhisui''s eyes. For a moment she really wanted to punch him!


    A hand reached out from behind, grabbing her shirt hem.


    Quan Zhisui looked back to see Kong Mingze''s pleading eyes.


    "Don''t get angry, don''t get angry. He''s always like this. I''ll buy you another one, it''s fine, it''s fine. Do me a favor, I beg you."


    Kong Mingze calmed Quan Zhisui down first, then started persuading Wei Shixu.


    "Bro Wei! Brother! I''m begging you, can we not make things so stiff? We were fine yesterday..."


    Maybe Kong Mingze''s persuasion worked, because Wei Shixu didn''t do anything else. He turned and sat back down.


    Quan Zhisui also kept silent as she sat down, though her expression was still unhappy.


    Just then the homeroom teacher Qian Ya rushed in yelling: "Who threw something out the window? Stand up!"


    "Me, me, me." Kong Mingze stood up with both hands raised. "Got too carried away ying around, my mistake. I''ll reflect and write self-criticism."


    Qian Ya: "Go downstairs and sweep it all clean!"


    Kong Mingze: "Okay."


    The homeroom teacher scolded him while taking him out of the ssroom.


    The ssroom remained quiet after they left, no one speaking, as if the air had frozen.


    Many students'' eyes darted around, looking between Quan Zhisui and Wei Shixu. No one dared speak, onlymunicating through looks.


    What was with Wei Shixu? He''s not the nosy type!


    Don''t know.


    Why was Wei Shixu targeting the new student? Didn''t he help clear up the cafeteria thing for her yesterday?


    Don''t know...


    Did Wei Shixu get possessed today?


    Possessed.


    Quan Zhisui felt she was the one possessed, endless troubles.


    ...


    Kong Mingze returned after morning self-study, hesitating as he looked at Quan Zhisui, but didn''t get a chance to say anything before the ss bell rang.


    The first two periods were Math. The Math teacher came in holding a thick stack of test papers.


    "Pop quiz, try to finish in two periods."


    Students at key high schools were long used to this intensity. No oneined as they quickly passed out the papers and started.


    This was Quan Zhisui''s first quiz after transferring, and she treated it very seriously.


    Kong Mingze didn''t get a chance to speak. He''d intended to struggle through it, but fell asleep on the desk after starting the first problem.


    Quan Zhisui also didn''t know how, but made an effort to read each question and fill the entire paper.


    About halfway through the allotted time, she glimpsed someone handing in their paper! ncing up, she saw it was Wei Shixu.


    Quan Zhisui had good vision and clearly saw Wei Shixu had answered every question. The Math teacher smiled and nodded at him as usual.


    He was done? So fast?!


    Quan Zhisui was extremely shocked. She looked down at her own paper, still less than one third done.


    After handing in his paper, Wei Shixu left the ssroom. The teacher didn''t stop him, and the other students didn''t even lift their heads, just kept working intensely.


    Only Quan Zhisui was left with her worldview shattered.


    Grades that good came with so many privileges?


    No wonder he was so arrogant...


    The two periods passed quickly and the papers started getting collected.


    Quan Zhisui was covered in sweat from her efforts. She had no energy left and felt like this one Math test had drained herpletely.


    She copsed on the desk limply, same as Kong Mingze''s dead posture.


    Someone approached next to her, then something cold and wet touched her cheek.


    Quan Zhisui rolled her eyeballs and saw Wei Shixu holding a cup of milk tea, pressed against her face.

 Chapter 14: What kind of filter did you put on him

    <h4>Chapter 14</h4>


    Wei Shixu''s eyes were actually quite good-looking, but only when he didn''t have malicious intent.


    Like right now, he wasn''t smiling falsely, his lips were slightly pursed, and just looking at the lower half of his face, he seemed a little unhappy.


    But when he looked at someone attentively, his eyes were like deep pools, very profound.


    After Wei Shixu put the milk tea on Quan Zhisui''s desk, he took out a small cake in fancy packaging with his other hand.


    As he handed it over, he said, "Miss Quan, I bought you sugar-free milk tea, and the cake has non-dairy cream."


    Quan Zhisui blinked, with ten thousand question marks popping up in her mind.


    This Wei Shixu really had a serious split personality!


    Kong Mingze didn''t know when he had woken up. He jumped up and shouted, "Wei Shixu, how could you only buy one drink without getting one for me too?!"


    Quan Zhisui clearly saw Wei Shixu''s temple twitch.


    "Buy it yourself," he said very impolitely.


    Kong Mingze started making a fuss, "Damn, you bought it from this shop?! They don''t do delivery, you went out to buy it?! Oh, I love eating this little cake the most!"


    Wei Shixu gritted his teeth, "You can shout a little louder."


    Kong Mingze grabbed his head dramatically, "Ah!!! Why didn''t you call me to go with you when you went out?! Why!!!"


    Wei Shixu left with a dark expression, looking like he didn''t want to bother with him at all.


    Kong Mingze urged Quan Zhisui, "Hurry up and try it, the milk tea from this shop is really super delicious, the best in Liangxi City! The cake is tasty too, but there''s limited quantity every day and it''s expensive, you have to line up if you want to buy it!"


    Quan Zhisui: "......"


    She nced at the front row. The person had sat back down and started watching bloody movies again.


    Kong Mingze suddenly pped his forehead, "Oh I know why Wei Shixu snatched the milk tea I was going to buy for you! I didn''t get you sugar-free, you martial artists are pretty strict about what you eat right? Next time I''ll know!"


    Quan Zhisui: "It''s not that strict, it''s fine to eat unhealthy stuff asionally if your metabolism is fast."


    Moreover, she didn''t think Wei Shixu had thought that way. He wasn''t that simple-minded.


    She opened the milk tea and took a sip. She was a little surprised that even sugar-free could have such a great taste.


    Kong Mingze smiled like a big fool, "I wanted to tell you before ss, Wei Shixu is a good person."


    Quan Zhisui: "Are you sure?"


    Kong Mingze nodded heavily, "Of course! He''s the best person in the whole world!"


    Quan Zhisui asked again, "Then has this ''good person'' you speak of ever bought you milk tea?"


    Kong Mingze was stunned and shook his head, "No."


    Quan Zhisui: "What kind of filter do you have on him..."


    -----------------


    Zhou Chun''s mind was restless today, thinking about the scene she saw yesterday over and over, reassuring herself it was an ident.


    She had asked around. The girl was a transfer student who had just arrived at Liang Secondary School on her first day, and had even transferred from a faraway province, so there was no way she could have history with Wei Shixu.


    That girl seemed to be very close with Kong Mingze, and Kong Mingze was the only one who dared make a ruckus in front of Wei Shixu.


    Maybe that was the only reason...


    Suddenly, before the first ss had ended, Zhou Chun saw Wei Shixu appear in the hallway outside the ssroom, then his figure disappeared at the stairwell.


    Where was he going? Wasn''t he going to attend ss?


    Right after, Zhou Chun saw from the window that Wei Shixu walked out the school gate.


    She was wondering the whole time what Wei Shixu went out for, barely listening to the ss, until near the end of the second morning ss when she saw him returning through the school gate, carrying a cup of milk tea and cake in his hand.


    He had spent a whole ss time running out to buy these things?!


    Zhou Chun had known Wei Shixu since the summer vacation of 8th grade. He was diligent and excelled in his studies, did everything meticulously striving for perfection, but now Zhou Chun felt this person was a stranger. How could he skip ss to do these kinds of things!


    So who was this for?


    Who could make Wei Shixu break his principles?


    Zhou Chun felt even more anxious and uneasy. As soon as the bell rang to end ss, she rushed to ss 1 and stood at the back door peering inside.


    Then she saw Wei Shixu give the things he bought to the girl sitting in thest row.


    That girl called Quan Zhisui.


    -----------------


    The morning sses passed and it was time for lunch.


    Quan Zhisui took a deep breath and walked over to Wei Shixu''s seat, "Wei Shixu, let me treat you to lunch."


    Wei Shixu looked up and smilingly asked, "Just treating me alone?"


    Quan Zhisui nodded, "Yeah, just treating you alone to a meal."


    "Okay." He was still smiling as he got up, the curve of his lips very natural this time.


    But Quan Zhisui called out, "Kong Mingze! Want to go to the cafeteria together for lunch? I''ll treat you to milk teater!"


    Wei Shixu''s smile suddenly became unnatural.


    The big fool Kong Mingze immediately rushed over, "Then let''s go!"


    Quan Zhisui called out in another direction, "ss president, want to join us? I''ll treat you to milk tea too!"


    Zhuge Ying was surprised but quickly nodded, "Sure."


    Seeing Quan Zhisui pulling along all the people who had helped her yesterday, Wei Shixu didn''t even bother continuing his fake smile.


    ...


    Quan Zhisui added 3000 yuan to her meal card, leaving the rest forter.


    Zhuge Ying was advising Kong Mingze the whole way to study hard, while Kong Mingze kept nodding and bowing in response.


    Wei Shixu walked beside Quan Zhisui, asionally letting out a ''hm'' with the corners of his lips upturned, though it was unclear what he was hm-ing about.


    Quan Zhisui swore this would be thest time she ate with him.


    She would properly thank him, then they''d be even.


    The four of them with varying demeanors walked into the cafeteria and got in a not too long line.


    They hadn''t waited long before there was amotion behind them, with people trying to cut in line and push forward.


    It made Zhuge Ying stumble. Fortunately Kong Mingze who was standing beside her held her steady.


    Zhuge Ying frowned and looked back to see what was going on.


    Kong Mingze also nced to the side, "Quan Zhisui, you didn''t get bumped into right?"


    "I''m fine," Quan Zhisui replied. At the same time, she let go of Wei Shixu.


    She had reacted quickly to pull him when the people behind bumped over.


    Feeling a little regretful now.


    Wei Shixu lowered his eyes to look at her, then nced at the arm she had grabbed.


    What strength.


    Themotion grew louder now, and scolding could also be faintly heard.


    "Move aside! All of you move aside!"


    "What''s the matter? Never seen people cut in line before? Move it!"


    "......"


    Quan Zhisui saw with her own eyes as the five guys she had beaten yesterday shoved their way from the back to right in front of her. The same five from yesterday.


    Originally still acting arrogantly, the five came to an abrupt halt when they saw Quan Zhisui midway through, not daring to push forward anymore.


    Quan Zhisui spoke up, "Did you guys go get checked at the hospital?"


    She had meant to ask if she had hit them too hard yesterday. Even if there were no broken bones, there must have been bruises all over their bodies from the force.


    But her words sounded like a threat to the five!


    They immediately turned tail, fleeing the cafeteria in terror without lining up for food anymore.


    Afraid of being beaten by her again!


    This scene, seen by the people around them, caused many to secretly nce in Quan Zhisui''s direction and whisper among themselves.


    "So the rumor from yesterday was true!"


    "Liang Secondary School is going to have a change of power!"


    "Zuo Zichen''s status is unstable. The new girl who transferred in is too fierce!"


    "And just look at who she''s standing with, that''s Wei Shixu!"


    "F*cking badass! Oh right, what was her name again?"


    "Remember the name of Liang Secondary School''s future boss! Her name is Quan Zhisui!"

 Chapter 15: The Poor Student

    <h4>Chapter 15</h4>


    Quan Zhisui treated Wei Shixu to a private dinner after ss. She didn''t forget him when she treated everyone to milk tea afterwards, focusing on equal opportunity.


    During lunch break, the scores for the morning math quiz came out.


    Wei Shixu got full marks and ranked first in ss, while Zhuge Ying lost eight points and ranked second.


    Kong Mingze wasst ce, and Quan Zhisui second-tost.


    When Zhuge Ying handed the test paper to Quan Zhisui, she was shocked: ¡°How could your score be so low?¡±


    Quan Zhisui was also shocked: ¡°But I answered every question!¡±


    Zhuge Ying fell silent.


    Kong Mingzeughed from the side: ¡°You''re better off sleeping like me! How did you get grades as bad as mine?¡±


    Quan Zhisui held her forehead: ¡°My grades were pretty good at the Martial Arts School...¡±


    Zhuge Ying didn''t know how tofort her: ¡°Well... keep working hard!¡±


    Kong Mingze was curious again: ¡°Hey, tell me about your time at the Martial Arts School! What else did you do besides martial arts training?¡±


    Quan Zhisui: ¡°Didn''t really study much culture sses.¡±


    Kong Mingze was even more curious: ¡°What did you study then?¡±


    Quan Zhisuiid her head on the desk, voice muffled: ¡°Mountain medicine, fortune-telling.¡±


    Kong Mingze: ¡°Huh? What what?¡±


    Quan Zhisui answered robotically: ¡°Esoteric arts.¡±


    ¡°Mountain is self-cultivation and physical training in the tranquil mountains; Medicine is prescriptions, acupuncture, spiritual healing; Fortune-telling like Eight Characters, Ziwei Astrology; Physiognomy like face andnd forms, palm reading too; Divination getsplicated: Plum Blossom Divination, Strange Gates Escaping Stems, Da Liu Ren, Xiao Liu Ren... consulting hexagrams and stuff...¡±


    Kong Mingze admired her with starry eyes: ¡°Wow! So you know everything? Can you divine test answers from hexagrams? Just pinch your fingers and calcte it out!¡±


    Quan Zhisui: ¡°I can, but I won''t.¡±


    Kong Mingze: ¡°Why not?¡±


    Quan Zhisui rolled her eyes: ¡°That''s cheating. These ancestral secrets can''t be used for opportunism! Also, borrowing fate for a mere test? Crazy. Could be fatal.¡±


    Kong Mingze jumped in fright: ¡°Oh oh got it, can''t mess around! Then read my fortune or physiognomy?¡±


    Quan Zhisui: ¡°No.¡±


    Kong Mingze anxiously asked: ¡°Why not again?¡±


    Quan Zhisui: ¡°My skills arecking.¡±


    Kong Mingze: ¡°...¡±


    He realized, your strongest skill is fighting. ''Mountain'' is the focus of your medicine/fortune-telling/divination training.


    Just then, a ssmate by the door shouted: ¡°Wei Shixu, someone''s looking for you outside!¡±


    Outside, Zhou Chun stood holding a cup of milk tea.


    Seeing this, Kong Mingze started heckling: ¡°Ooh, the school hunk is so popr!¡±


    Quan Zhisui asked in confusion: ¡°Did time rewind? I feel like I saw this yesterday.¡±


    Kong Mingze grinned: ¡°Happens every day.¡±


    Quan Zhisui looked at him nkly: ¡°So you do this every day?¡±


    Kong Mingze: ¡°Yup! I''m bored.¡±


    Quan Zhisui: ¡°...¡±


    Indeed, your self-awareness is clear.


    ...


    After calling for Wei Shixu, Zhou Chun anxiously waited outside, nails digging into the milk tea cup until white.


    She wasn''t blindly impulsive, she came after inquiring about some things.


    That girl called Quan Zhisui got second-tost in ss. A failure like her couldn''t possibly catch Wei Shixu''s eye.


    She didn''t believe Wei Shixu had such bad taste.


    First ce and second-tost had no future together.


    She was different. She was ss 3''s top student, consistently ranking top 5 grade-wide.


    Apart from outstanding grades, she had an excellent and clean family background.


    Her father was a doctor, mother a teacher. Going further back, her grandparents and extended family were all respectable people without any divorces: extremely stable.


    She should be the most popr type.


    Moreover, she had partnered with Wei Shixu in the Model United Nations for two consecutive years. They struggled and won awards together!


    Zhou Chun was confident that with time, Wei Shixu would be with her from high school to college to jobs and family.


    She had a sweet and innocent look, standing there like a picturesque view. Many passing nces were cast her way.


    But Zhou Chun only looked at Wei Shixu.


    Wei Shixu didn''t even lift his head to look at her. He simply raised the milk tea in his hand.


    ¡°I have some. Quan Zhisui treated me.¡±


    He didn''t even bother facing her to speak.


    A ssmate by the window ryed: ¡°Wei Shixu says he has milk tea from Quan Zhisui!¡±


    Zhou Chun''s expression instantly soured. She heard it clearly without needing ry.


    Before leaving, she nced at thest row again.


    That girl called Quan Zhisui was just sleeping on her desk, same as the other failure Kong Mingze.


    Zhou Chun¡¯s lips drew tight.


    Failures should stay in the failure pile as trash.


    ...


    After a short nap, Quan Zhisui got up during lunch break and took out nk scrap paper to n a study schedule.


    Unlike Kong Mingze''s grades, she was at the bottom for not learning most of the test content. The Martial Arts School didn''t pressure much academic study. She had onlypleted freshman year sses, while this math test covered sophomore and first semester junior content.


    She also couldn''t follow lessons. If this continued, the gap between her and ssmates would only grow.


    She needed to start catching up on sophomore curriculum first.


    Quan Zhisui worked very quietly to not disturb others.


    Most of the ss was napping. Only two seats were empty: Wei Shixu wasn''t there, and neither was Kong Mingze. Who knows where those two disappeared to instead of napping.


    After lunch break ended, Wei Shixu and Kong Mingze returned to their seats just in time.


    Kong Mingze immediatelyid his head down after sitting. He didn''t sleep during break, and started yawning as ss was about to start.


    Quan Zhisui hurriedly asked: ¡°Kong Mingze, do you still have your sophomore textbooks?¡±


    Kong Mingze: ¡°What books? You don''t mean textbooks do you?¡±


    Quan Zhisui: ¡°Yes! And test papers, review materials, do you still have them? Let me photocopy.¡±


    She figured Kong Mingze didn''t study, so these should be brand new. Photocopying them would allow direct use without having to re-collect problems.


    Unexpectedly, Kong Mingze shook his head: ¡°How could I have those? Tossed them long ago!¡±


    Quan Zhisui: ¡°Even the textbooks?¡±


    Kong Mingze nodded: ¡°Yup! Tossed them after exams!¡±


    Quan Zhisui''s eyes widened: ¡°What will you do to review as a senior? If you forget forms and stuff, won''t you need to look back at the books?¡±


    Kong Mingze nked: ¡°I never considered that!¡±


    Quan Zhisui: ¡°...¡±


    She didn''t expect Kong Mingze''s disregard for studying to be ingrained in his soul.


    Quan Zhisui went up to Zhuge Ying in the front row: ¡°ss president, do you still have sophomore textbooks, test papers, and review materials?¡±


    Zhuge Ying immediately understood: ¡°You want to photocopy?¡±


    Quan Zhisui: ¡°Yes, my previous school only taught freshman sses in sophomore year.¡±


    Zhuge Ying thought for a moment: ¡°I do have them, but they might be in my home warehouse. Let me look this weekend and organize them for you?¡±


    Quan Zhisui: ¡°Great, thank you ¡ª¡±


    Before she could finish, a voice sounded from behind.


    ¡°Why didn''t you ask me?¡±

 Chapter 16: How can this guy be good and bad

    <h4>Chapter 16</h4>


    Wei Shixu stood behind her, looking down at her with lowered eyes.


    Quan Zhisui always felt his way of looking at people was strange. Perhaps it was because of his height advantage that he had to look down, but it was more like the attitude of someone superior looking at kittens and puppies - full of charity and toying, which made people very ufortable.


    She was not a little animal.


    "Why didn''t you ask me for it?"


    Wei Shixu asked again, then added, "The ss leader''s papers are all written on, you have to photocopy it again and pick out the questions, isn''t that troublesome?"


    Zhuge Ying retorted, "Although it¡¯s written on and I have to pick out questions, each wrong question has an analysis next to it, and I have a wrong topic collection with detailed solutions."


    More detailed than yours.


    There were another four words she didn''t dare say.


    Wei Shixu said, "Is your wrong topic collection useful to her?"


    The wrong topic collection of a top student is like hieroglyphics to a failing transfer student who didn''t even attend all the sses.


    Zhuge Ying wanted to continue saying something, but couldn''t think of a rebuttal for the moment.


    Quan Zhisui looked at Wei Shixu and then at Zhuge Ying. Alright, they were arguing now.


    She didn¡¯t know what to say.


    Wei Shixu looked at her again, "My papers are clean and the books are new too, saving you the step of photocopying."


    Zhuge Ying: "......"


    Quan Zhisui was very surprised, "You don''t need it anymore? The book."


    Wei Shixu said, "I don''t need it. Come get it at my house this weekend."


    Quan Zhisui said, "You''re actually quite nice."


    Sometimes nice, sometimes mean.


    Zhuge Ying shrugged silently beside her, just short of rolling her eyes.


    Kong Mingze didn''t know when he had slipped over, "Quan Zhisui, you''re going to Wei Shixu''s house this weekend? I want to go too, I want to go too!"


    Wei Shixu didn''t hide his caring gaze towards the intellectually disabled.


    Zhuge Ying raised an eyebrow and smiled.


    Quan Zhisui didn''t know what to say.


    Kong Mingze came up with an idea out of the blue, "Since this is the case, let''s go to my family''s restaurant after school on Friday. I''ll treat you to hot pot. After eating, we can go to Wei Shixu''s house to hang out!"


    Zhuge Ying raised her hand, "I''ll go for the hot pot."


    Kong Mingze said enthusiastically, "Wee, wee! Quan Zhisui you muste eat hot pot too. My family''s hot pot secret recipe is the best in Liangxi Town! There''s a branch near the school. Wei Shixu, let your family driver know, we''ll walk over!"


    The ss bell rang and the four returned to their seats.


    Just like that, their weekend ns were fully arranged by Kong Mingze in just a few sentences.


    Quan Zhisui swore in her heart.


    ......


    In the afternoon sses, Quan Zhisui still struggled through.


    Kong Mingze slept soundly. Not until the end of school bell rang did hezily get up from the desk and dart to the front row in one step.


    "Wei Shixu, let''s eat! Come eat dinner with me!"


    Seeing the two walk past shoulder to shoulder, Zhou Chun stood still at the window. A touch of sweetness appeared on the corner of her mouth, like a heavy rock had been lifted from her heart.


    In fact, she used to hate Kong Mingze very much. He didn''t study hard and upied Wei Shixu''s time all day. Also, Kong Mingze was famously a nouveau riche in Liangxi Town. She heard his parents were uneducated.


    Whenever there was a chance, Zhou Chun would tell Wei Shixu to be careful in making friends, especially with people like Kong Mingze. They were frompletely different worlds than top students like themselves.


    But Wei Shixu would always look at her with a vague smile.


    She didn''t understand what he meant either.


    But now Zhou Chun was d that annoying Kong Mingze was by Wei Shixu''s side.


    No matter what, Wei Shixu spent his days fooling around with Kong Mingze every day. That transfer student was just a seasoning in his life and wouldn''t make big waves.


    Zhou Chun walked out of the ssroom with a smile, but ran straight into Zhuge Ying and Quan Zhisui walking side by side.


    The top scorers were acquainted with each other. Zhuge Ying politely nodded to her as a greeting.


    Zhou Chun''s smile faded as she coldly passed between the two, quickly moving towards the stairs.


    Zhuge Ying didn''t take it to heart. After all, they weren''t in the same ss.


    Quan Zhisui even less so. She didn''t even recognize Zhou Chun.


    The school buildings were U-shaped with ssrooms on three sides and a basketball court built in the middle open space.


    Zhuge Ying looked down and said, "Kong Mingze doesn''t go to evening self-study. He ys basketball here until 9pm every day."


    Quan Zhisui was puzzled.


    Zhuge Ying shrugged, "I don''t understand either."


    Quan Zhisui asked, "He sleeps through sses and the teachers don''t care. If he really doesn''t like studying, why doesn''t he do something else? Anything''s better than wasting time."


    Zhuge Ying paused, then asked, "Don''t you find their rtionship a bit strange?"


    "Huh?" Quan Zhisui was startled by her sudden change of topic.


    "Kong Mingze and Wei Shixu," Zhuge Ying reminded.


    Quan Zhisui thought about it and nodded, "Yes, it''s not like they''re close friends, but they seem closer than with others."


    Most people would react violently if someone was chattering in their ear all day, given Wei Shixu''s personality.


    Zhuge Ying gave a cold smile, "They''ve been like this since junior high. Everyone says Kong Mingze is Young Master Wei''s studypanion and bodyguard."


    Quan Zhisui was shocked, "So Kong Mingze ys basketball until evening to apany Wei Shixu for evening self-study?"


    Zhuge Ying said, "Maybe, who knows."


    Quan Zhisui''s mind wandered as she asked, "Does he get paid? Like an actual studypanion?"


    Zhuge Ying''s expression was strange, "As far as I know, Wei Shixu never gives Kong Mingze money. On the contrary, it''s always Kong Mingze treating Wei Shixu to things."


    Quan Zhisui: "......"


    Their conversation ended as they reached the school gate. The car that picked up Quan Zhisui had been waiting for some time already.


    "Young Miss, school must have been tiring." Zhao Lin got out of the car, rushed over to grab her bag, opened the car door, and even bowed. He still had time to bow.


    Quan Zhisui bid herpanion goodbye with a wave of her hand, "See you tomorrow, ss leader."


    Zhuge Ying''s eyes were wide open, then she suddenly pped her forehead.


    Wow!


    In one ss there were two powerful families and an ultra nouveau riche. Were there really so many rich people concentrated in Liangxi Town?


    Many students were around, flooding out of school, so Quan Zhisui''s identity as a rich young miss couldn''t be hidden!


    Across the street, Zhou Chun stood frozen in ce, shocked to see Quan Zhisui get into an insanely expensive luxury car.


    She had only seen two people ride in cars so nice prior to this.


    One was the widely recognized school heartthrob Wei Shixu. He boarded at school but went home every weekend, usually picked up by two identical limited edition Rolls Royces,plete with a bunch of bodyguards - very high profile.


    The other was the arrogant new first year Zuo Zichen. She heard his family also had two luxury cars that he alternated between daily.


    One of them was a Bentley. Zhou Chun recognized the Bentley logo because of Zuo Zichen.


    Yet how could Quan Zhisui, a transfer student with grades so bad they were shocking, have this?!

 Chapter 17: She flipped the table right there.

    <h4>Chapter 17</h4>


    When Quan Zhisui returned to the Zuo family home, it was just around dinner time.


    She went back to her room to put down her schoolbag beforeing downstairs for the meal. Unusually, the dining room was full today.


    The dining table was a luxurious round marble one, with Zuo Zhiyu seated in the master position. To his left sat Zuo Zichen, and next to him was Xu Zhiyi. The two elders took the seats to Zuo Zhiyu''s right.


    The only spot left for Quan Zhisui was the very bottom position, usually reserved for serving staff.


    The table had already beenid out with dishes, and the family of five were happily eating dinner together.


    Zuo Zhiyu and Xu Zhiyi sandwiched Zuo Zichen in the middle, fussing over him and asking after his wellbeing. The two elders kept getting up to serve more food to their precious eldest grandson, worried about his injured hand.


    This was also Quan Zhisui''s first time meeting her biological paternal grandparents.


    As she walked into the dining room, the five of them deliberately ignored her, refusing to acknowledge her presence.


    Quan Zhisui didn''t say anything either. She simply pulled out the chair, the legs screeching harshly against the floor.


    The loud noise caused the conversation at the table to die down abruptly as all heads turned to look at her.


    Quan Zhisui sat down casually as if nothing had happened, and picked up her chopsticks to start eating.


    Bang!


    A loud thud rang out as Old Lady Zhang Liufang mmed her hand on the table. She immediately began scolding, "What wild girl is this? No manners at all, not even calling for service before taking food. Who allowed you to start eating?"


    Quan Zhisui ignored her and continued eating quickly with head down.


    Xu Zhiyi raised her eyebrows. "Zisui, your grandma is talking to you."


    Still, Quan Zhisui did not respond and kept eating enthusiastically.


    Old Master Zuo Zhaoyuan angrily threw down his chopsticks. "What insolence! Bringing in riffraff and stray animals into the family home!"


    It was as if Quan Zhisui couldn''t hear anything. She even reached over to take arge braised pork elbow, helping herself to whatever looked tasty.


    Zuo Zichen watched the scene coldly and sneered. "Father, are you sure you''ve found the right person? Has she been verified? I don''t acknowledge a sister like this."


    Zuo Zhiyu could no longer keep up appearances. He mmed down his bowl with a ''pa'' and scolded in a low voice, "Quan Zhisui! Can''t you hear your grandparents talking to you?"


    Sensing his change in attitude, Xu Zhiyi quickly chimed in, "The Zuo family''s influence is far-reaching. Every action reflects on the Zuo name. Eating like this will make us aughing stock."


    Hearing this made Zuo Zhiyu''s expression even uglier. He couldn''t help but curse, "Quan Zhisui! Have you no shame eating like a wild boar with everyone watching? Were you raised by pigs? Elders are speaking to you yet you ignore thempletely. No manners at all..."


    Before he could finish, Quan Zhisui loudly put down her bowl.


    "Are you done eating yet?" she asked.


    Zuo Zichen: "???"


    Xu Zhiyi nearly rolled her eyes out of their sockets. "What, you intend to eat this whole table of dishes yourself? Truly the manners of someone who''s never had fine food, gulping it all down like a glutton. How embarrassing."


    Quan Zhisui smiled. "I''m full now."


    Zhang Liufang was so angry she stood up and yelled, "Wretched girl! I said back then we should have just suffocated you directly instead of tossing you so far away!"


    Zuo Zhaoyuan joined in scolding, "It is not the Zuo family way for juniors to start eating before elders! Let this be a warning that you will never be epted as part of the Zuo family in this lifetime if you keep this up!"


    Quan Zhisui loudly burped then slowly wiped her mouth. "No, that wasn''t my intention."


    Zuo Zhiyu''s temple suddenly pulsed. "Then what do you mean?"


    Quan Zhisui stood up, firmly nted her feet shoulder width apart to root herself, and braced her hands under the marble table edge.


    "What I mean is, stop f*cking eating!"


    As soon as she finished speaking, she exerted herself with all her might.


    Her body was brimming with vigorous strength and power!


    Quan Zhisui summoned every ounce of skill she had ever learned, pushing herself to erupt with her full force in that instant.


    Boom!


    With one heave, shepletely flipped the hundred-plus-pound marble dining table!


    nk! Crash!


    Food scraps flew, meat chunks spun, soup sttered everywhere!


    Over a dozen dishes along with their tters spilled entirely onto the floor, ttering loudly amidst screams.


    The huge round table began rolling with the momentum, crashing into the other expensive ceramic dinnerware and flinging food and soup upwards. It even dented and warped the ornate cabs lining the dining room walls.


    The top-grade wood paneling on the walls, the intricately designed ceiling and chandelier personally decorated by a famous interior designer, even the hair and clothes of everyone present - everything was drenched in food!


    The dining room was utterly destroyed!


    "Ahhhh!" Xu Zhiyi shrieked at an ear-piercing volume, egg drop soup dripping from her hair.


    Zuo Zhaoyuan and Zhang Liufang scrambled away in panic, shaking off food from their clothes while screaming in shock and outrage.


    Zuo Zhiyu had managed to dodge in time, only getting minimally sttered from sensing something amiss early.


    Zuo Zichen had it the worst. With his injured hand, he was already less mobile and never imagined Quan Zhisui would be so bold.


    As a result, he was doused from head to toe in food!


    The mingled vors of over a dozen dishes permeated every inch of him, inside and out!


    For the moment, Zuo Zichen was too stunned to react, still seated in ce with his soul shocked out of his body.


    "Ahhh! Ahhh ahhh!" Xu Zhiyi''s screams grew even more hysterical upon seeing her son''s wretched state.


    The two elders quickly came to their senses and rushed clumsily towards their precious eldest grandson, slipping and falling every few steps on the slippery floor.


    Cries of "ow" and "ouch" rang out continuously.


    Zuo Zhiyu was dumbfounded and distressed beyond belief!


    Utter chaos reigned in the aftermath, beyond description.


    The kitchen chefs and three serving aunties rushed out, took one look at the scene, and were scared witless, at aplete loss.


    Soon the cleaning aunties arrived, but they too were at an impasse, unable to find any clean spot to step.


    The dining room was like ground zero after doomsday, utterly decimated!


    Quan Zhisui was the only one remainingposed. Shefortably rolled her neck and shook out her slightly strained hands that had exerted themselves too fiercely just now. Then amidst the screams, she looked steadily at Zuo Zhiyu.


    She stated clearly, "Dad, I have an unruly temperament and tough personality. I cannot tolerate the slightest grievance."


    Zuo Zhiyu: "......"


    His heart was quivering and eyes bloodshot from sheer outrage!


    "If you can''t handle me, then send me back to the mountains," Quan Zhisui continued boldly and unapologetically.


    Zuo Zhiyu''s erupting emotions were abruptly extinguished, leaving him nk.


    Having aplished her goal, Quan Zhisui didn''t bother with the aftermath. She turned and went back upstairs to her room. She was only responsible for causing chaos, not cleaning it up.


    Though soon after returning to her room, she was already wincing and rummaging for medicinal sters, constantly massaging acupressure points. Going all out to flip the table so forcefully just now had apparently pulled some muscles.


    Catharsis feels great momentarily, but the physio and crematorium billseter.


    That marble tabletop really was damn heavy!


    If it had been just a bit bigger, she wouldn''t have been able to flip it at all.


    The chaos on the first floor dining room continued for a long time afterwards. The hysterical screaming from three people and the prolonged paralyzed shock from the other two left the mansion''s staff at a loss, unsure whether they should step forward to start cleaning up.


    Though there was little point to cleaning anymore - might as well renovate entirely.


    In the end...


    Xu Zhiyi held Zuo Zichen in the living room, crying as she wanted to help clean him but had no idea where to start.


    Zuo Zhaoyuan and Zhang Liufang stood to the side, cursing wildly for hours on end - one moment heartbroken for their eldest grandson, the next wanting to rush upstairs and strangle Quan Zhisui!


    Meanwhile, the study lights on the third floor remained on through the entire night.


    Word of the young miss''s raging feat of flipping the table spread swiftly among the Zuo household members. Ma Xinwei the chef, who witnessed the scene firsthand, even became a raconteur, describing the happenings vividly and colorfully to all who would listen!

 Chapter 18: Knock every day, Keep the torture.

    <h4>Chapter 18</h4>


    The next day.


    Quan Zhisui got up early in the morning and went to the courtyard to practice her martial arts basics.


    She had slept wellst night, but her pulled muscles meant she couldn''t train intensely today, so she could only do some recovery exercises.


    If Master was here it would be better. Yesterday she just needed a Daoist doctor to press on the right spots for a few minutes and she wouldn''t be this sore today.


    But would Master scold her for being so reckless at Liangxi?


    Thinking of this, Quan Zhisui suddenlyughed.


    She remembered when she was little, she and her martial brothers got in trouble together, and Master chased them with a rattan cane, from the top of the mountain to the bottom. The few of them ran all over the mountain like monkeys, even nning escape routes to split up!


    Ah, she was so carefree and happy back then...


    ...


    In the small staff kitchen, a big group of people were eating breakfast while watching Quan Zhisui practice martial arts, chatting excitedly.


    Ma Xinwei eximed: "Good heavens! She can still get up early to practice boxing after yesterday? Her mentality, I''m really impressed! With such a big incident yesterday, the Left family were either crazy, crying, or sleeplessst night. I bet only the young miss slept till dawn right?"


    Zhao Lin: "That''s right, the young master was washing upst night and had to stop halfway to go to the hospital again. He couldn''t do it himself so got the nurse to clean him up, he was covered in vegetable leaves and oil."


    Gu Lan: "The look in the young master''s eyes yesterday, it was murderous."


    Fang Yue frowned: "Keep your voices down."


    Zhao Lin: "Xu Kuang is never around, that guy sleeps in every day, connections can really get away with anything."


    Fang Yue: "This is a big matter, everyone be more careful with work recently, don''t provoke him when he''s upset."


    Zhao Lin: "Alright alright I know! Of course I''ll work properly, we''re just chatting over breakfast with no outsiders around, just casual chat!"


    Ma Xinwei chuckled: "I was scared silly yesterday, the young miss is really awesome!"


    Gu Lan patted her chest: "Even now when I think back my heart starts racing! You guys weren''t there to see the scene, it was terrifying!"


    Zhao Lin: "What''s so scary, it was thrilling!"


    Gu Lan shook her head: "She has an exceptionally explosive temper, I wonder how she''ll get along with the master from now on."


    Zhao Lin was suddenly curious: "The master didn''t say anythingst night? He didn''t go bang on the young miss''s door and kick her out?"


    "No!" The third floor attendant Gan Mengyu joined in the gossip: "It''s really unbelievable! I''ve never seen the master endure like this for a whole day, he was holed up in the study all night, emo the whole time."


    Ma Xinwei shook his head: "Since you didn''t see, who knows if he was really emo, maybe he was just saving face and secretly smashing the sofa!"


    Gan Mengyu rolled her eyes around and whispered: "I eavesdropped, not a peep, it was like he was stunned or numb. "


    Gu Lan: "I feel it''s the calm before the storm, neither the master nor mistress are easy to get along with."


    Zhao Lin suddenly looked to Fang Yue: "Old Fang, you saw the master''s original wife before, the young miss has an even more explosive temper than the master, fierce and sharp, did she inherit it from the previous mistress?"


    Fang Yue''s hand shook and he rapped the table: "Don''t ask what you shouldn''t, eat!"


    Everyone stopped talking, only Ma Xinwei and Zhao Lin exchanged a look, both instinctively raising their eyebrows as their gazes shifted, shing with excitement.


    ...


    The dining room was cleared up, but repairs were needed, with several damaged spots on the walls and cabs, and soup stains on the ceiling. The Left family would be eating in the side hall these next few days.


    Quan Zhisui arrived on time but unexpectedly found someone already sitting in the main seat.


    Today, Zuo Zichen hade for breakfast, his schoolbag on the seat next to him, was he going to school?


    Simply unbelievable!


    But Quan Zhisui ignored him and sat in the spot furthest from him, waiting for Gu Lan to serve her food.


    Zuo Zichen kept his head down eating with his left hand the whole time, refusing all interaction.


    At 6:55am Quan Zhisui put down her utensils.


    Knock knock!


    She rapped on the table.


    Zuo Zichen looked up suspiciously.


    Quan Zhisui looked straight at him: "From now on, no using the car during my schoolmute times without permission."


    Zuo Zichenughed angrily: "This is my house! Zhao Lin is my chauffeur! I haven''t settled things with you about yesterday yet! Who the hell do you think you are?"


    Before his words fell -


    Quan Zhisui single-handedly gripped the table edge: "Do you believe I can flip it again?"


    Zuo Zichen''s pupils constricted, and he quickly jumped up.


    Quan Zhisui got up and wiped her mouth: "Don''t leave before I get in the car."


    Zuo Zichen: "......"


    Quan Zhisui shouldered her schoolbag and headed upstairs to the third floor.


    Zuo Zichen watched her back, filled with both anger and frustration!


    He had thoughtst night would see the strongest argument or beating in the family''s history, but unexpectedly nothing had happened, only his own sorry state.


    Not only did Dad not me Quan Zhisui, he even forbid them from knocking on her door, telling him to reflect carefully.


    Zuo Zichen felt his emotions were close to copse!


    But he didn''t know that something even more shocking and devastating for him was about to happen.


    Quan Zhisui arrived at the main bedroom door on the third floor right on time as usual, and reached out to knock on the door.


    Knock knock knock! Bang bang bang!


    She was a little rushed today, going quickly from knocking to banging on the door.


    Xu Zhiyi was woken up with bloodshot eyes, she had only slept at dawn after a night of crying and making trouble, yet still failed to change Zuo Zhiyu''s decision.


    So her mind was still in a fog now.


    Zuo Zhiyu likewise did not sleep well, only returning from the study to the bedroom at dawn. His whole body felt drained, he had been emotionally vtile the whole night, one moment copsing in madness, the next baring his teeth in a grimace.


    He found this daughter very hard to control.


    In the end Zuo Zhiyu had formted several ns overnight until his hair was practically white.


    Right now the two were woken by the terrifying sound of knocking, lying in bed unmoving.


    Finally, the knocking grew violently wild, apanied by Quan Zhisui''s roaring voice.


    "Dad!!!"


    She yelled with energy channeled to her lower abdomen, like the roar of a lion.


    Downstairs, Zuo Zichen who had just exited the side hall almost tripped, looking up to the upper floor in disbelief.


    If he didn''t mishear, was that lunatic Quan Zhisui knocking on the door shouting Dad?!


    Zuo Zhiyu nearly went mad, forced to get out of bed to open the door.


    Xu Zhiyi buried her head under the nket, and picking up from her tearsst night began crying again, genuinely crying this time!


    Swish -


    After Zuo Zhiyu opened the door, he looked at the person before him wearily, with a sh of resentment in his eyes.


    Quan Zhisui ignored his expression, brightly saying: "Dad! Good morning!"


    Zuo Zhiyu: "......"


    Quan Zhisui''s upturned lips immediately fell, and her face sank: "Dad, why don''t you say good morning back?"


    Zuo Zhiyu: "......Good morning."


    Quan Zhisui immediately smiled again: "Dad I''m going to school!"


    Zuo Zhiyu: "......Go on."


    He closed the door.


    After returning to bed, Zuo Zhiyuy stiffly on his back with eyes wide open.


    Beside him Xu Zhiyi alsoy stiffly, tears flowing.


    Right now both wanted to die.


    ...


    Going down the stairs Quan Zhisui passed the round-eyed, stunned Zuo Zichen expressionlessly with a nce.


    Zuo Zichen watched her as if seeing a ghost.


    Quan Zhisui sneered and strode out, the first to sit in the Bentley rear.


    Zuo Zichen felt unwilling to concede, following right after her.

 Chapter 19: Childish

    <h4>Chapter 19</h4>


    Zuo Zichen could have stayed home for a few more days. After all, the school and his parents wouldn¡¯t ask too many questions. But he had arranged something for today...


    In the back seat, both of them were very silent.


    Quan Zhisui lowered her head looking at her phone. Yesterday, after leaving her contact information, several people added her on WeChat. But when she got home, wasn¡¯t she busy going crazy? She still had homework to do at night. So she only saw the friend requests today and approved them one by one.


    Wei Shixu, Kong Mingze, and Zhuge Ying had all added her. Very soon, Zhuge Ying added her to the ss group chat. The group chat was filled with messages flying everywhere. It turned out everyone had secretly brought their phones to school.


    Zuo Zichen observed her from the corner of his eye, asionally sneering coldly.


    He couldn¡¯t swallow yesterday¡¯s anger. Since Zuo Zhizhu had chosen to be biased and not intervene, then he would take matters into his own hands and torment this sister from the countryside to death.


    Today, he must see with his own eyes Quan Zhisui being beaten until she was covered in blood and crawling on the ground looking for her teeth!


    Twenty minutester, the car had arrived near Liang Zhong.


    Zuo Zichen sat in the back seat with his legs crossed arrogantly, ¡°I don¡¯t want people at school to know about our rtionship. I find it embarrassing.¡±


    Quan Zhisui didn¡¯t even lift her head, still looking at her phone, ¡°What a coincidence, me too.¡±


    Zuo Zichen: ¡°Stop the car.¡±


    Zhao Lin didn¡¯t dare disobey and parked the car at the roadside.


    Zuo Zichen said to Quan Zhisui, ¡°You, get out.¡±


    Quan Zhisui looked out the window. The car was parked at a corner. After getting off, turning right and walking another 200 meters would be Liang Zhong.


    Zuo Zichen didn¡¯t want anyone to see him and Quan Zhisui getting out of the same car.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t you get off and walk instead?¡± she asked.


    Zuo Zichen gritted his teeth. The anger from yesterday all erupted at once, ¡°Are you really stupid or just pretending with me? Quan Zhisui, get this straight! You¡¯re the outsider in the Zuo family. Before you came, I was fine. But after you arrived, the family became a mess! Have you seen Grandpa, Grandma, or my mom wee you?¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re not surnamed Zuo, you¡¯re surnamed Quan! Didn''t you hear what my grandma said? You should have been smothered to death back then! You were supposed to die, together with your ill-fated mother...¡±


    p!


    Quan Zhisui backhandedly pped him across the face, interrupting his endless ranting.


    It not only snapped his arrogance but shattered it.


    Zuo Zichen¡¯s face instantly turned red and swollen. The imprint of five fingers appeared and became visible to the naked eye. His head buzzed and his whole person was stunned by the p.


    ¡°Get lost,¡± she said.


    Zuo Zichen immediately opened the car door and ran out.


    Zhao Lin was so frightened that he gripped the steering wheel tightly. His palms were instantly drenched in sweat!


    ¡°Drive,¡± she said again.


    Zhao Lin hurriedly started the car, not daring to dy one bit.


    His heart raced wildly. He suddenly understood Ma Xinwei and Gu Lan¡¯s words that morning. Hearing descriptions and experiencing it firsthand werepletely different things.


    This scene was not only exciting and frightening, but terrifying!


    The key was that the young miss''s expression remained calm throughout, calmly pping, calmly saying ''get lost'', calmly acting as if nothing had happened as she told him to continue driving.


    Too scary!


    Soon they arrived at the school. Quan Zhisui didn''t wait for Zhao Lin to serve her. She picked up her schoolbag, opened the car door herself, and got out.


    She strode swiftly with a gloomy expression on her face.


    That p didn''t satisfy her anger.


    If Zuo Zichen dared to mention her mother again in the future, she would send him to the hospital again!


    The vehicle started up again.


    Zhao Lin covered his chest and quickly called Ma Xinwei, "Damn, do you know what just happened? The young miss pped the young master in the car! The young master''s face instantly had the imprint of five fingers. It''s all swollen!"


    Ma Xinwei''s voice rose, "What? What happened? What happened again?"


    Zhao Lin was so shocked that he sprayed spittle when he spoke, "The young master was saying some very harsh things about her mother. The young miss went up and pped him to shut him up and teach him how to behave like a human!"


    Ma Xinwei sounded excited, "Wow! If there''s a table, she''ll really flip it. If there''s a face, she''ll really p it!"


    ...


    On the street a block away, after getting off the car, Zuo Zichen didn''t go straight to school. Instead, he dove headfirst into a nearby breakfast shop.


    He sat nkly for a very long time, dazed again and again before reaching out to touch his own face.


    It was bright red, swollen, and burning painfully!


    It seemed to be ringing too.


    Plop! Plop!


    Tears kept streaming down!


    Damn it! Damn it! Fuck!


    He wanted to kill Quan Zhisui!!!


    He wanted to throw her into those dirty and chaotic ces to be yed to death!!!


    ...


    After Quan Zhisui entered the ssroom, her mood calmed down a lot. She sat down and started doing the homework she didn''t finish yesterday.


    The ssroom quickly filled up with people, all happy and harmonious.


    Zhuge Ying went around to the back row to talk to her, "Need help with the homework? There''s still time for me to exin one or two questions to you. Don''t be shy with me."


    Quan Zhisui smiled and said, "Thank you, ss monitor, but there''s no hurry. I basically don''t understand any of it. I''ll wait until I''ve self-studied all the lessons from Grade 10."


    Zhuge Ying also smiled, "Then there really is no rush over one or two questions. I came over to remind you that today is Friday. We''re still going to Kong Mingze''s family shop for hotpot tonight, right? Don''t forget."


    Quan Zhisui looked forward to it, "Yeah yeah, I remember!"


    Zhuge Ying thoughtfully reminded her, "That''s good. Don''t forget to let your family know. I¡¯ll head back to my seat first."


    Quan Zhisui: "Okay."


    Actually, there was no need for her special reminder. The Zuo family kitchen had standards for meals. Regardless of whether anyone was eating or not, the chef would make a full table of dishes.


    So Quan Zhisui didn''t mention it. After all, those five people in the Zuo family didn''t care whether she ate or came home.


    At this moment, Kong Mingze walked into the ssroom humming a tune.


    He was simply a sunny and cheerful boy. He came in holding three cups of milk tea.


    First he gave one cup to Zhuge Ying, "ss monitor, have some milk tea. It''s a new vor."


    Zhuge Ying took it and waved her hand, "Thanks. I won''t nag you about homework today."


    Kong Mingze feltpletely rxed. Then he went to Wei Shixu''s seat and simrly held out a cup, "Here, this one''s yours."


    Wei Shixu pushed it back, "I don''t drink it."


    "Huh? Oh, okay." Kong Mingze very naturally picked it up, inserted a straw, and took a sip, "Then I''ll drink it myself."


    Finally, Kong Mingze went to the back row and put the third cup of milk tea on Quan Zhisui''s desk, "I''ll treat you to milk tea again today. I specifically ordered sugar-free!"


    Quan Zhisui didn''t take it. Instead, she looked ahead.


    Sure enough.


    Wei Shixu had arrived, picked up her milk tea, and walked away just like that.


    So the issue wasn''t whether it had sugar or not.


    He was just like someone with a major illness!


    Even someone as easygoing as Kong Mingze blew up, "Wei Shixu, what are you doing! Can you not mess with me!"


    Wei Shixupletely ignored him. His attitude was extremely nasty!


    Quan Zhisui leaned on one hand on the table. She was toozy toment. She was speechless.


    Kong Mingze refused to let it go and chased after him, frantically scolding, "What''s wrong with you these past two days? Why are you like this? The one I specially bought for you, you don''t want. But you have to snatch someone else''s! Wei Shixu, are you listening to me or not ah ah ah!!!"


    So the two of them mored noisily for a long time, with Kong Mingze''s shouts filling up the entire ssroom.


    As for Wei Shixu himself, he leisurely drank away,pletely unaffected. He even turned back to lift Quan Zhisui''s milk tea at her, toasting to her from afar.


    Quan Zhisui ignored him and lowered her head to look at the homework questions.


    How childish!

 Chapter 20: The Contest

    <h4>Chapter 20</h4>


    The morning sses were two math and two Chinese. Chinese was still fine, with readingprehension and reciting some poems and texts, but math ss was going over yesterday''s quiz, so Quan Zhisui was listening in a daze.


    As soon as the lunch bell rang, she rushed out of the ssroom, leaving the punctual Kong Mingze, who had just woken up, no time to call her. It also made Wei Shixu, who was walking to the back row, miss her.


    Kong Mingze was an optimist. Seeing Wei Shixu''s figure, he immediately jumped up, "Wei Shixu! Are you here to call me to eat lunch together?"


    "No," Wei Shixu said and walked away.


    Kong Mingze wanted to catch up, but there were many students rushing out of the ssrooms after ss, crowding the corridors, causing him to lose sight of her at once.


    After missing Quan Zhisui and losing Wei Shixu, Kong Mingze grabbed Zhuge Ying at random.


    Zhuge Ying: "?"


    Kong Mingze: "Um, ss president, let''s eat lunch together?"


    Zhuge Ying: "Okay."


    Kong Mingze: "Thank you for honoring me, ss President!"


    Several ssmates around wereughing.


    "Kong Mingze, why do you need someone to apany you for meals every day?"


    "Haha, he used to look for Wei Shixu every day, and now he looks for Quan Zhisui every day."


    "He''s almost annoyed them to death!"


    "Our ss president is patient. It''s quite suitable for you to find her as a lunch mate."


    "..."


    Quan Zhisui walked quickly to the cafeteria alone and started eating at high speed.


    She wasn''t deliberately avoiding her ssmates. Whether it was Kong Mingze or Zhuge Ying, they were both great. She just felt that Wei Shixu was too weird and wanted to keep her distance.


    When she was halfway through her meal, Quan Zhisui saw those five problematic students from Grade 10 again.


    They gathered together, first looking around, as if hiding from someone, then found an inconspicuous line and started cutting in line.


    Oh, so they were hiding from her!


    Quan Zhisui was toozy to mind other''s business. When she was almost done eating, she suddenly looked over there again.


    Those five had almost gotten to the front of the line.


    She got up and went over, grabbed one of them by the cor and pulled him out of the crowd.


    That guy was frightened when he saw her and quickly waved his hands, "I didn''t cut in line!"


    "Do I care if you cut in line or not?" Quan Zhisui looked at him in confusion and asked, "I''m asking you, where''s Zuo Zichen?"


    The frightened guy shook his head desperately, "I don''t know! Zuo didn''te to ss today! Sister, how would I know Zuo''s whereabouts? Don''t make things difficult for me, I really don''t know..."


    Quan Zhisui released his cor and left the cafeteria. She was just a little curious and asked.


    Whether Zuo Zichen came to school or not had nothing to do with her!


    After lunch, back in the ssroom.


    Because Quan Zhisui had rushed out fast and eaten fast too, there weren''t many people in the ssroom yet, so she could finally have some peace and quiet.


    With her mind nk, thinking of nothing, she felt the nature outside the window.


    "Are you avoiding me?"


    Okay, interrupted.


    Quan Zhisui numbly turned her head to see Wei Shixu standing next to her, handing her a delicate little cake.


    She didn''t take it and came up with a reason to refuse, "I''ve eaten too many sweets these days, I can''t eat any more."


    Reasonable!


    She practiced martial arts, how could she eat sweets every day?


    "I see." Wei Shixu then threw the cake directly into the trash can.


    Quan Zhisui: "..."


    Damn, something''s wrong with him!


    Wei Shixu took out his phone with a calm face, "What other snacks do you want to eat then? I''ll have someone go buy them."


    Quan Zhisui looked at him expressionlessly, not saying a word.


    Wei Shixu''s gaze shifted from his phone to her face, looking straight into her eyes, also expressionless.


    The two of them were like kingspeting, neither willing to back down.


    The weird atmosphere was even a little terrifying as the staredown went on for a long time, until Kong Mingze and Zhuge Ying''s voices sounded at the ssroom door.


    Zhuge Ying: "How many days in a row have you bought milk tea? It''s not good to drink it every day."


    Kong Mingze: "Then I won''t buy you milk tea tomorrow, and you can''t ask me for homework."


    Zhuge Ying: "There''s no ss tomorrow."


    Kong Mingze: "Oh, right!"


    The atmosphere between the two was harmonious when they walked in.


    Zhuge Ying went back to her seat with her milk tea.


    Kong Mingze was holding two unopened milk teas. He walked to his seat, saw Quan Zhisui sitting in thest row and Wei Shixu standing there.


    Kong Mingze''s heart tightened instantly!


    He nced at Quan Zhisui, retracted the hand subconsciously reaching out, hesitated for a moment, then handed it to Wei Shixu first, but it seemed to burn his hand and he retracted it again.


    For several days in a row, he had been a little paranoid.


    Finally, Kong Mingze sat down with a thud and opened both milk teas.


    He''d drink them himself!


    The ss president was right! It¡¯s not good to drink milk tea every day! He wouldn¡¯t buy milk tea anymore!


    Quan Zhisui was amused by Kong Mingze''s cautious look. Her confrontation with Wei Shixu also rxed.


    She simply slumped on the desk and started taking a nap.


    Surely no one would interrupt her nap now, right?


    That would be rude!


    Wei Shixu didn''t bother her anymore either and went back to his seat.


    Seeing the two separate, Kong Mingze breathed an imperceptible sigh of relief. He didn''t know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that the two were about to fight just now!


    That wouldn¡¯t do!


    One was his brother for many years, the other his new good friend.


    Why were they always at odds?


    ...


    In the afternoon ss, Zhao Lin sent a message that Zuo Zhaoyuan had suddenly called him over for something urgent, Fang Yue was following Zuo Zhiyu, and Xu Kuang was still out sending Zhang Liufang.


    With no one to pick up Quan Zhisui after school today.


    Just right, she was going to hot pot with Kong Mingze and the others, no need for pickup.


    As for Zuo Zichen, he hadn¡¯te to school today, whatever if he went home or was out messing around...


    Quan Zhisui had been looking forward to the weekend and hot pot, but she wasn¡¯t really looking forward to hot pot with Wei Shixu on the weekend.


    When thest school bell rang, Kong Mingze was the most excited.


    He practically jumped up and shouted, "Assemble! Hot pot squad! Let''s go!"


    Zhuge Ying red back at him, "I''m here, stop yelling."


    Quan Zhisui packed up her things and put on her backpack.


    Wei Shixu stood empty-handed at the door. For his once-a-week trip home, he only brought his phone.


    Kong Mingze was obviously overjoyed. He even circled Wei Shixu, "Wow! Has it been a long time since you had hot pot? It''s rare for you to be so enthusiastic."


    "Indeed," Wei Shixu said with a smile, his eyes meaningfully ncing at Quan Zhisui, "Fresh."


    A fresh thrill.


    Kong Mingze: "Huh? Not fresh, my hot pot broth is still the old recipe, hasn''t changed!"


    Wei Shixu didn''t say anything more.


    Zhuge Ying sighed speechlessly and said, "Let''s go, fool."


    Kong Mingze looked at Quan Zhisui, "Let''s go, fool?"


    Quan Zhisui: "???"


    Just who was the fool here?


    Suddenly there was a softugh. It came from Wei Shixu.


    Kong Mingze looked proud, "See, you think Quan Zhisui is silly too, right?"


    Wei Shixu: "Yes."


    Quan Zhisui: "......"


    Fine, she was a fool, so the two of them were idiots and lunatics.


    Zhuge Ying sighed even longer, never having been so speechless before.

 Chapter 21: All of a Sudden

    <h4>Chapter 21</h4>


    After walking out of the school gate, Quan Zhisui only then realized that Wei Shixu had two cars that came to pick him up every week. The bodyguards of the two cars, one car drove into the school dormitory to tidy up his things, and the other car was waiting in advance near the hot pot restaurant.


    The hot pot restaurant was very close to the school, just across a small alley and around a corner, and this alley was too narrow for cars to drive in, so it was most convenient for the four of them to walk there.


    On the way, Kong Mingze was the most talkative, and his thoughts tended to wander.


    Wei Shixu almost didn''t speak, but from time to time he would lower his eyes to look at Quan Zhisui, it was the kind of look that Quan Zhisui hated the most.


    Zhuge Ying was like a parent, taking care of Kong Mingze one moment, and taking care of Quan Zhisui the next.


    Quan Zhisui was very tormented. Kong Mingze''s words were too dense, always throwing out three questions in one sentence. Wei Shixu''s eyes were so undisguised as if he wanted to see through her.


    If it wasn''t for Zhuge Ying mediating from time to time...


    She really could go crazy!


    ...


    In a coffee shop not far from the school.


    Outside on the road were studentsing and going, walking in groups after school on Friday.


    Zuo Zichen sat by the window, tapping his Bluetooth headset, "Do you see her?"


    A voice came from the headset, "I see her. We don''t need to guide them, they walked into that alley by themselves."


    "They?" Zuo Zichen raised his eyebrows.


    In addition to Quan Zhisui, there must be other people, it must be Kong Mingze!


    He had inquired that Kong Mingze and Quan Zhisui were not ordinary friends, he bought milk tea for her every day, looking like he wanted to pursue her.


    Today there was no car or driver to pick her up, so Kong Mingze was eager to send Quan Zhisui home?


    Thinking of this, Zuo Zichenughed. A nouveau riche and a vige girl, they matched well!


    Today he specially asked his grandparents to call both drivers away. His grandparents doted on him and did as he asked without even asking why.


    His parents were at a banquet tonight, and Fang Yue was with them the whole time, so they wouldn''t be back early.


    That meant the Zuo family house was empty today. Even if Quan Zhisui died, no one would know until tomorrow!


    "Do you need to draw the others away?" asked the voice in the headset.


    Zuo Zichen smiled evilly, "No, I''ll pay extra, beat them all up for me!"


    ...


    In the deep alley.


    The four of them were chatting andughing, but in fact only Kong Mingze was chatting andughing. The other three had different expressions.


    Although this alley was deep and narrow, it was inhabited. It was an old street from long ago that the older generation called a hutong.


    The houses on both sides were not tall, at most two floors. About every two to three meters there would be the door of a household, so you could see that the houses here were all very small, mostly lived in by empty nesters.


    When they turned the corner, the door next to them suddenly opened.


    Quan Zhisui instinctively turned her head to look. She saw a hand reaching out, trying to grab her clothes.


    p!


    She directly dislocated the person''s arm!


    Her hands were faster than her brain.


    "Ah!" The man let out a scream, leaning against the door and broke into a cold sweat.


    By the time Quan Zhisui realized what was going on, the doors of the short houses on both sides had opened, and many burly men rushed out, looking fierce as they started attacking them with their hands.


    The surrounding sounds suddenly became noisy. The originally quiet and deserted hutong instantly became crowded and full of people.


    These people attacked them without saying a word, and because there were so many people, the four of them were immediately dispersed.


    Kong Mingze''s roar was loud, "ss monitor!"


    He reacted quickly too, pulling Zhuge Ying into his arms to protect her.


    At the same time, a muffled club mmed down with a ''bang'' on his back!


    It all happened so fast that Zhuge Ying only felt a huge force. Suddenly she was pressed against the wall corner by Kong Mingze, his tall and sturdy body was like a wall,pletely surrounding her.


    The sounds of clubs banging down apanied Kong Mingze''s muffled groans overhead.


    Bang bang bang!


    Zhuge Ying''s heart was pounding, terrified.


    She didn''t know what was going on, she didn''t understand why there were suddenly so many thugs attacking them.


    In the distance, with one punch per person, Quan Zhisui knocked down a dozen thugs in a row by dislocating their arms.


    "Quan Zhisui!!!"


    Suddenly, Kong Mingze gritted his teeth and shouted loudly.


    Quan Zhisui immediately shouted in that direction, "I''m here! Coming!"


    "Wei Shixu!" Kong Mingze shouted loudly, "Go save Wei Shixu! This might be a kidnapping!!"


    As soon as Quan Zhisui heard this, she suddenly pushed away the person next to her who was about to attack, and ran wildly towards the front to look for people.


    But there were too many opponents. Coupled with the deep and narrow alley, she couldn''t rush out for the time being.


    Indeed, as Kong Mingze feared, Wei Shixu was not nearby. At least at this time, she didn''t see anyone within her line of sight.


    "Wei Shixu! Where are you?!" Quan Zhisui shouted.


    No one answered.


    She was a little anxious now, and a hint of ferocity shed in her eyes.


    "Get out of the way!!!"


    Previously, she was afraid of killing people so she only dislocated their arms. Now she no longer held back her strength. With one foot forward and one foot back, she kicked the people in front of her and knocked them flying while beating her way through.


    In the corner.


    A drop of sweat rolled down and dripped onto Zhuge Ying''s forehead, icy cold.


    Zhuge Ying looked up and saw Kong Mingze gritting his teeth in pain, his backpletely hunched over, his arm muscles bulging.


    But even so he hadn''t moved an inch, allowing those clubs to m down fiercely on his back, arms and even head.


    Zhuge Ying clearly saw blood oozing from the back of his head, trickling down his neck.


    She covered her mouth in horror with both hands, not daring to make a sound.


    Although she was the ss monitor, with strong learning and management abilities, she had never encountered anything like this before.


    This was beyond her knowledge!


    "Call... the police..." Kong Mingze said through gritted teeth, holding firm despite his distorted voice.


    Only then did Zhuge Ying react. She took out her phone with trembling hands. She was so scared that she was stunned and didn''t know what to do. She hadpletely forgotten that she could make a call!


    ...


    There were at least a few dozen people crammed in the alley, very vicious!


    At first the other side didn''t intend to fight so fiercely, but after finding out Quan Zhisui couldn''t be captured, they threw away their clubs and took out small knives.


    The knife des glimmered coldly, sharp and frightening.


    Quan Zhisui''s eyes instantly hardened!


    She bent her knees slightly to steady her stance, with one foot forward and one foot back. Dropping her shoulders and sinking her elbows, she adjusted her breathing. She expanded her senses to the maximum, observing in all directions and listening in all directions. She took on the strongestbat stance.


    Since you''ve brought out des, don''t me her for not being polite.


    Quan Zhisui didn''t expect that the actualbat aftering down the mountain would be more fierce than fighting on the mountain. The sparring with senior brothers stopped at the point of contact, and the fights to challenge other martial arts schools were one-on-one.


    Never had she faced nearly a hundred people wielding knives and swarming her when she was alone and empty-handed.


    If not careful, it could cost lives!


    Quan Zhisui was truly angry now. Her blows became heavier and heavier.


    Soon, there was a pile of people at her feet. God knows how many bones she had kicked and broken.


    Because it was dangerous, she also had to be responsible for kicking their knives far away.


    The sounds of the knives flying and hitting the walls before falling into the corners kept ringing out.

 Chapter 22: A Strange Combination of Circumstances

    <h4>Chapter 22</h4>


    Gradually, the people around Kong Mingze left and went to surround Quan Zhisui.


    Zhuge Ying hurriedly went to help him up. He was covered in wounds and couldn''t even stand steadily, yet he still forced himself to walk forward, looking extremely anxious.


    "Don''t go!" Zhuge Ying held him back.


    Kong Mingze looked into the distance and saw that Quan Zhisui had already dealt with most of the people. Her school uniform was covered in red bloodstains.


    He was shocked: "Quan Zhisui, are you hurt?!"


    Quan Zhisui shook her hand, flinging off droplets of blood: "It''s not mine."


    Kong Mingze breathed a sigh of relief and looked around in panic as he yelled loudly: "Where''s Wei Shixu?!"


    Zhuge Ying''s face was deathly pale: "I don''t see Wei Shixu anywhere."


    Kong Mingze anxiously jumped up and down: "Wei Shixu''s been kidnapped!"


    "I''ll go after them." As soon as Quan Zhisui finished speaking,


    she kicked away a person who was still trying to attack her and rushed towards the alley ahead.


    She saw someone sh by over there - if she wasn''t mistaken, it was Zuo Zichen!


    What was going on here?!


    Kong Mingze wanted to chase after them too, but his whole body ached and he had no strength left.


    Zhuge Ying felt that she should step up: "You rest against the wall for a bit, I''ll go!"


    Kong Mingze grabbed her: "Too dangerous, don''t go!"


    The ss monitor definitely could not go, but they also couldn''t let Quan Zhisui go rescue Wei Shixu alone.


    Kong Mingze took out his phone and dialed a number, speaking quickly: "Hello? Grandpa Wei? I''m Wei Shixu''s ssmate Kong Mingze! Wei Shixu''s been kidnapped! Near the school! The bodyguards aren''t here, and cars can''t get into this alley...Just now..."


    After hanging up, Kong Mingze dialed another number: "Hello? Is this Butler Qian? Wei Shixu''s been kidnapped! Near the school..."


    Zhuge Ying watched as he made seven or eight consecutive calls, from Wei Shixu''s grandfather to the Wei family''s butler, then the Wei family''s bodyguards, and even the Wei family doctor.


    He had all their numbers and called them all.


    Except for his parents - he didn''t call Wei Shixu''s parents.


    Zhuge Ying''s mind was blown. She had assumed they were childhood ssmates and therefore closer than other people, but she didn''t expect Kong Mingze to be so familiar with Wei Shixu that he had his grandfather''s number and whole set of contacts.


    Anyway, Zhuge Ying didn''t have her best friend''s grandfather''s number, let alone a full roster.


    This was too unusual!


    ...


    Zuo Zichen had originally wanted to personally witness Quan Zhisui''s wretched state after being beaten, but when he walked to the alley, he heard Kong Mingze yell out Quan Zhisui''s name.


    Sure enough.


    The two of them were together, getting beaten together.


    What caught Zuo Zichen off guard was that right after, Kong Mingze also shouted Wei Shixu''s name.


    Wait!


    Wei Shixu?!


    How was he here too!


    Zuo Zichen immediately hid and dialed a number: "I only told you to beat up that girl! And her ssmates! Don''t touch the tall, handsome guy..."


    Unexpectedly, the voice on the other end disdainfully said: "You really don''t have taste. What''s the point of targeting those students? This guy''s the big fish! His watch alone is worth hundreds of thousands!"


    Zuo Zichen was shocked: "Stop! Do you know who he is?!"


    The manughed wildly: "I''m just earning a little extra cash on the side, this watch can let my bros live in luxury for years!"


    Zuo Zichen: "Let him go! I''ll add money!"


    Theughter grew even more arrogant: "Bro, how much did you pay me to beat people up? How much more can you add? Can you give me millions? This is a Richard Mille watch!"


    Then he directly hung up.


    No matter how much Zuo Zichen tried, he couldn''t get through again.


    "It''s over..."


    Utterly finished,pletely done for! He''d caused big trouble!


    He had only wanted to teach Quan Zhisui a lesson, how could he have inadvertently gotten Wei Shixu beaten up?


    Offending the Wei family - forget about him, Zuo Zichen, even his dad Zuo Zhishu would have to kowtow and beg for mercy against the Wei family!


    There''s a saying about the two overlords south of the Yangtze River in Jiangsu province. It had been passed down from the elderly since thetest century, all the way to the ears of the younger generation of today.


    In Suzhou, Yan Ajiu of the Yan family. In Liangxi, Wei Jing San of the Wei family.


    Wei Shixu was Wei Lao''s heir!


    As he nced around the corner, a chill rose from Zuo Zichen''s feet all the way up to the crown of his head.


    Not only was he finished, he hadn''t even seeded in getting revenge.


    Zuo Zichen decisively left - he couldn''t let anyone find out he was involved in this!


    Although Quan Zhisui ran fast, her target wasn''t Zuo Zichen. She sprinted quickly through the alley, searching for traces of Wei Shixu.


    Suddenly!


    Pa Da...


    A watch was tossed down from a 2nd floor window, stained with blood.


    Quan Zhisui whirled around and kicked down the door of that household!


    Bang!


    The old wooden door shook and finally copsed.


    It was very dark inside, filled with things like an abandoned warehouse, exuding a moldy smell.


    Boom boom boom!


    Heavy footsteps came stomping up the stairs, apanied by a man''s cursing: "Damn, this punk looking to die, throwing such an expensive watch..."


    Before he could finish speaking.


    Bang!


    Quan Zhisui rushed forward and punched him, directly sending him flying.


    His back mmed heavily against the wall, his abdomen caving in, ribs shattering - who knew how many.


    When he looked up, he saw a girl in a school uniform - the target they were supposed to surround and beat up.


    How was this possible?


    Dozens had surrounded her, how could she be here!


    The girl''s eyes were cold as she nced at him, then quickly went upstairs.


    The many on the ground gasping for air, even with broken bones he desperately crawled towards the exit. This had turned into big trouble, the sums were toorge, he had to get out of here fast or he''d be done for if caught!


    Quan Zhisui had no interest in further fighting and went upstairs to find the person.


    Upstairs was a small attic, gloomy and very pungent.


    When she came up, she saw Wei Shixu sitting on the garbage-filled floor, back against the wall.


    His head drooped, unmoving.


    His left arm was a bloody mess, probably from the metal watch band being forcefully ripped off, blood flowing down his fair skin to the filthy garbage-strewn floor.


    Next to Wei Shixu stood another man, violently kicking his legs while yelling curses: "I told you to throw the watch! Throw it again!"


    Bang!


    Quan Zhisui rushed forward and kicked him, her strength sending him tumbling down the stairs!


    Robbery, assault and battery, grievous bodily harm - they were all done for!


    Quan Zhisui was fully confident in her ownbat abilities. After the kick she didn''t even nce at the man, immediately striding forward.


    "Wei Shixu! Are you okay?"


    One hand went to check his pulse while the other lifted his face to examine him.


    Quan Zhisui couldn''t deny feeling nervous - Wei Shixu was clearly a pampered young master raised in thep of luxury, likely unfamiliar with dealing with thugs. He was probably severely injured.


    But her gaze directly met his deeply focused eyes.


    He had his eyes open!


    Quan Zhisui: "..."


    Not dead? Then why were you just sitting there motionless and head drooped, not even dodging when people kicked you?

 Chapter 23: impersonate

    <h4>Chapter 23</h4>


    The two avoided each other¡¯s gaze as soon as their eyes met.


    Quan Zhisui continued checking Wei Shixu¡¯s injuries.


    Wei Shixu also instinctively avoided her eyes for a moment, but looked back at her the next second, watching her anxious and concerned appearance.


    Thump¡ª


    He felt his heart beat wildly once.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you?¡± Quan Zhisui¡¯s hand hadn¡¯t left his pulse yet, and she quickly noticed his abnormality.


    ¡°It hurts,¡± Wei Shixu said.


    Quan Zhisui''s forehead was sweating: "Where does it hurt?"


    She was not yet 17 years old, and had not finished learning the inheritance from her teacher. She had only learned the basics of the profound traditional Chinese medicine, and could not figure out the cause of Wei Shixu''s abnormal pulse at all.


    This made Quan Zhisui very irritable!


    Wei Shixu covered his heart without saying a word.


    Quan Zhisui was so anxious that she said: "Did you hurt your internal organs!? Or do you have an underlying condition?"


    Wei Shixu removed his hand from his chest and returned to normal right away: "No."


    Restrained and enduring.


    Quan Zhisui checked his pulse again. Three secondster, she breathed a sigh of relief: "There should be no internal injuries."


    Immediately afterwards, she began to examine his arms. The skin surface was full of blood and looked terrifying, but it was just external injuries without hurting the tendons and bones.


    However, those wounds were not shallow, and it took a while for the bleeding to stop.


    Quan Zhisui frowned, "Is the watch more valuable than your life?"


    She could probably guess what had just happened. Wei Shixu was unwilling to hand over his watch, so those two robbers tried to forcibly take it. The watch strap was probablyplicated and they didn''t know how to undo it, injuring Wei Shixu in the process.


    Wei Shixu was also stubborn, and would not give it to them. He even threw the watch out from the second floor.


    Why did he like throwing things so much?


    This also caused those two robbers to be furious and kick him several times.


    "The watch is worthless," Wei Shixu seemed to say with a smile, his tone indifferent.


    Quan Zhisui''s frown deepened: "If it''s worthless why be so stubborn about it?"


    It was two against one, and you can''t beat them. Besides, they were tall and strong, and you didn''t learn any martial arts or fighting skills.


    There was a sh of ferocity in Wei Shixu''s eyes: "Just unhappy about it."


    Quan Zhisui: "..."


    She waspletely speechless.


    "It hurts," Wei Shixu said again.


    He sat against the wall with one knee bent. His messy school uniform revealed a white undershirt. His fair neck was covered in sweat, soaking the front of his shirt.


    Because Quan Zhisui had to help him check his injuries, the two were very close together in the crowded attic. When looking up, their eyes would meet directly.


    If not for the inappropriate timing, this scene was quite suggestive.


    Quan Zhisui waspletely oblivious to these details. She was just puzzled and looked at him: "Are you pretending? Can you get up?"


    Wei Shixu: "My leg is broken, I can''t get up."


    As he spoke, he stretched out his other un-kicked leg further out. From a certain angle, it looked like Quan Zhisui was squatting in front of him, as if he had surrounded her.


    All he had to do was bump his knee and he could bring her to his chest.


    That is, if she didn''t snap his neck first.


    Quan Zhisui touched his feet, pinched them twice, and looked up: "You''re lying."


    Wei Shixu: "It hurts, he just kicked me."


    Quan Zhisui applied more force with her fingers: "Do you believe I can make you hurt more?"


    Wei Shixu looked her up and down, the corners of his lips curled: "What kind of hurt? It''s dirty here, not a good ce to try..."


    p!


    Unexpectedly, Quan Zhisui pped over, as if she was used to hitting him.


    She didn''t feel like anything was wrong either. She just hit him to make him stop talking nonsense, and then left downstairs without caring if he lived or died.


    Wei Shixu: "..."


    He was stunned by the hit, and it took him a good while to react to what had happened.


    Did she really just hit him?


    She would hit him after all!


    Such a violent and direct method!


    In the end, Wei Shixu still stood up by himself, shook the blood from his hand, and followed her footsteps.


    Downstairs, the two who were beaten retreated to the ground. One was still crawling, trying to crawl out the door, while the other rolled down the stairs, unable to get up for a while, stunned.


    Quan Zhisui grabbed both of them by the cor with one hand each, and dragged them away. As long as they were not dead, she didn''t care about severity.


    Wei Shixu silently followed behind her, not forgetting to pick up the watch he threw down.


    However, when he suddenly saw her back, heughed.


    Heughed happily!


    ...


    At the other end of the alley.


    Wei''s bodyguards arrived and rushed in to find him, apanied by a doctor.


    The sound of the ambnce rang nearby, and the police arrived soon after. The group of people lying on the ground were controlled.


    Seeing that it was safe, Kong Mingze sat down against the wall.


    "Why were you so sure it was a kidnapping?" Zhuge Ying thought for a moment and asked.


    This matter was abnormal, but Kong Mingze''s reaction was even more abnormal. She was a little worried that he had overreacted.


    Kong Mingze''s expression was unprecedentedly serious: "Not sure, but what if it was?"


    Zhuge Ying didn''t know how to respond. She was still in the throes of the frightening experience just now, and found it hard to calm down.


    But she was also unharmed, those people didn''t even touch her once.


    Kong Mingze had shielded her all the way, protecting her all around with no gaps.


    Zhuge Ying felt a warmth in her heart. Indeed, he was just bad at studying and a bit slow, but very reliable!


    At this time, Kong Mingze cursed irritably, which was rare for him as a thorough failing student.


    Wei Shixu was not found, so he felt uneasy.


    Zhuge Ying looked at him in surprise, she couldn''t believe he was actually crying? He didn''t cry even after being beaten so badly just now.


    Kong Mingze wiped his face: "It was my fault, I shouldn''t have taken Wei Shixu through this alley, I should have had his bodyguards follow him the whole time."


    Zhuge Ying shook her head: "It wasn''t your fault, no one expected this to happen."


    Kong Mingze, head lowered in regret: "It was my fault!"


    Zhuge Yingforted: "It really wasn''t your fault, don''t me yourself. We''re in modern times, it certainly wasn''t a kidnapping. Besides, didn''t his bodyguards go in to find him? Wei Shixu will be fine."


    Kong Mingze looked at her, eyes red: "What if it was a kidnapping?"


    Seeing his expression, Zhuge Ying was shocked that he would actually cry? He didn''t even cry after being beaten so badly just now!


    Kong Mingze wiped his eyes: "Wei Shixu was kidnapped when he was young."


    Zhuge Ying: "When did this happen?!"


    Kong Mingze: "Age 10."


    Zhuge Ying felt it was absurd. How could something like this happen in this day and age?


    Kong Mingze was silent for a long time with his head lowered. Suddenly he said, "ss monitor, did you know? My family actually didn''t win the lottery."


    Zhuge Ying: "..."


    Kong Mingze''s eyes were very red: "Let''s not talk about this anymore. He doesn''t want people to know these things."


    Zhuge Ying really didn''t know what to say. She thought for a moment, then reached out and gently patted Kong Mingze on the back.


    At this moment, there were noisy soundsing from the end of the alley.


    "Ambnce! Doctor! Doctore quickly! Over here!"


    Wei Shixu''s voice rang out steadily: "Not going to die."


    "Young master! You''re bleeding!"


    Wei Shixu: "Shut up, noisy."

 Chapter 24: I got One More to Punch.

    <h4>Chapter 24</h4>


    When Kong Mingze heard Wei Shixu''s voice, he was so happy that he stood up and forgot about the pain he was in. He was about to rush over but suddenly thought of something and turned back.


    He pulled Zhuge Ying and whispered, "Shh! Don''t tell anyone what I just said!"


    Zhuge Ying held up a finger to her lips, "I got it!"


    The two now had a little secret between them.


    Kong Mingze looked proud, "The ss monitor really knows what he''s doing."


    Zhuge Ying smiled. Seeing the crowd of people up ahead, shepletely rxed and walked over with him.


    Around the corner were all kinds of people - doctors, police officers, bodyguards.


    As the two of them walked over, Wei Shixu was surrounded as a doctor dressed his wounds.


    Kong Mingze was shocked, "Wei Shixu, you''re so injured?! Who did this?!"


    Even Zhuge Ying''s face was full of horror. She wasn''t hurt, Kong Mingze only got hit a few times, but Wei Shixu''s injuries looked terrifying.


    Nearby, Quan Zhisui, covered in blood but full of energy, was dragging two severely injured people along, one with broken ribs and another with a bloody head.


    Zhuge Ying had been very worried about Quan Zhisui, after all she had fought a group of thugs barehanded while they had weapons.


    But now Zhuge Ying was dumbfounded. She looked at Quan Zhisui, then at the two men on the ground, and didn''t know who to worry about for a moment.


    The doctor had been brought by the bodyguards. He didn''t care about the men on the ground at all, and after treating Wei Shixu''s wounds, he rushed over to check on Kong Mingze.


    The men on the ground were about to pass out. They had to wait a long time for stretchers to carry them away, with police following close behind onto the ambnce.


    They needed treatment yes, but after that it was off to jail!


    Quan Zhisui had been worried she might have used excessive force in self-defense, but all the adults present praised her as a hero.


    Quan Zhisui and the others were soon sent to the hospital. Two students were injured and needed their wounds cleaned again even after first aid. The other two uninjured still needed to be examined and have their wounds documented.


    This was a serious,rge-scale brawl!


    In the rush of things, they didn''t even get to eat hot pot.


    At the hospital, Kong Mingze and Zhuge Ying''s parents arrived quickly, all four deeply frightened.


    Wei Shixu and Quan Zhisui didn''t call their parents. But Wei Shixu now had an extra circle of bodyguards, with several more cars pulling up and dozens of bodyguards on standby - quite a spectacr scene.


    Quan Zhisui was alone the entire time.


    When it was her turn to be examined, the doctor diagnosed her with muscle damage.


    This was actually from flipping the table yesterday. The fight after school just made her existing pulled muscle a bit worse.


    To Quan Zhisui this was no big deal. Injuries were inevitable when practicing martial arts.


    She was used to it.


    But this made Kong Mingze and Zhuge Ying explode with worry in the hospital hallway.


    "You said you were fine! But you''re injured!" Kong Mingze yelled so loudly it echoed down the hall.


    Zhuge Ying was also extremely anxious: "How do you treat this kind of injury? Will there be after effects?"


    "Ah...I''m fine." To Quan Zhisui it really was nothing.


    She had suffered worse during training in the mountains. Break your hand? Keep practicing your horse stance. Break your leg? Practice one-legged. As long as you don''t die, practice like your life depends on it.


    That''s why those who practice martial arts have such incredible willpower.


    Wei Shixu was silent, staring intently at Quan Zhisui''s diagnosis for a long time. When he looked up again, a sh of viciousness passed through his eyes!


    She had fought so fiercely, acting all high and mighty. Yet after it was over, she dragged two burly men all the way here.


    He hadn''t expected that she endured the pain toe save him.


    The butler Qian, noticing his gaze, immediately slipped away to make a phone call and left some instructions.


    By early morning today, every person whoid a hand would be finished!


    It waste now, almost 10 pm after everything.


    That butler quickly took care of all the misceneous matters, resolving each efficiently without impacting the four students. He arranged for Kong Mingze and Zhuge Ying to be safely sent home.


    As for Quan Zhisui, Wei Shixu took her into a Rolls Royce.


    "Butler Qian will send them. I''ll send you," he said.


    This time Quan Zhisui didn''t refuse. She was just so hungry, her stomach growling nonstop in the quiet car.


    "Eat something before going back? Hot pot?" Wei Shixu asked.


    He knew she had been looking forward to hot pot since leaving school that afternoon.


    So he had people prepare in advance. No matter the hour, she could eat whatever she wanted.


    But Quan Zhisui shook her head, "Take me straight home, thanks driver."


    Wei Shixu looked at her belly, "Are you sure? Your stomach is pretty noisy."


    Ever since getting in the car, she had been ''grumbling'' continuously like a frog in summer.


    Quan Zhisui covered her own stomach, "I''m sure."


    She had already told Auntie Guan to prepare ate night snack, with plenty of food. Hot dishes and rice waiting at home.


    Seeing her like this, Wei Shixu keenly picked up on her mood, "Are you in a hurry to get back for something?"


    Quan Zhisui nodded, "Yeah, there''s still one person I haven''t hit yet. I need to get back and punch him."


    Zuo Zichen.


    She hadn''t been seeing things earlier. It was Zuo Zichen in that alley.


    Why was Zuo Zichen there? What was he running from? His footsteps were so chaotic, clearly afraid of something.


    Wei Shixuughed at her words, "Got a taste for fighting now?"


    Quan Zhisui closed her eyes and leaned back, "Let''s not talk. I''ll conserve my energy and rest a bit."


    Wei Shixu also went silent for the rest of the ride.


    If you don''t want to eat, then don''t eat...


    The night lights of Liangxi City were dazzling and colorful. The streemps poured flickering light onto their faces as the car moved.


    She had very longshes, delicate features, and good looks overall. But her eyebrows were bold and heroic, her facial contours distinct.


    Her appearance was as domineering as her personality.


    One look and you knew not to mess with her.


    Wei Shixu stared at her for a long time, until his heart started pounding forcefully once more.


    Suddenly in the quiet he asked, "If I were kidnapped someday, would youe rescue me?"


    Quan Zhisui opened her eyes,pletely bewildered, "Wasn''t the person who rescued you this afternoon me?"


    A ghost or something?


    Why ask such an obvious question?


    Wei Shixu said, "I mean, if I were in danger, all my bodyguards gone, even kidnapped to another city, would youe save me?"


    Quan Zhisui looked at him strangely, "Why are you asking the exact same question twice?"


    Anyway she wouldn''t foolishly answer twice.


    Wei Shixu smiled again.


    So to her, saving was just saving. No matter the circumstances, no matter where he was, she woulde save him.


    Just like today.


    Wei Shixu''s expression at that moment was inexplicably gentle, his smile warm like themplight outside.


    Quan Zhisui looked into his eyes, "You look quite nice when smiling like this."


    She didn''t know why he always wore such gloomy looks usually.

 Chapter 25: She directly went mad, Zuo Zi Chen scared cry

    <h4>Chapter 25</h4>


    Late at night.


    The Zuo Family mansion was a hive of activity, with lights zing throughout the estate and security guardsing and going constantly.


    An elderly man with snowy white hair sat in a wheelchair, his expression somber as he gazed out into the inky darkness of the night.


    As soon as the steward, Qian Cheng, had finished taking care of things, he immediately came to report to Old Zuo: "Old Zuo, I''ve looked into it."


    Without turning his head, Old Zuo gave a coldugh. "Was it those remnants of Yan Ajiu''s gang?"


    Qian Cheng kept his head lowered deferentially as he replied, "Just a regr assault case, merely some petty thugs paid to do a job."


    Old Zuo''s eyes flickered upwards imperiously. "Petty thugs?"


    Qian Cheng didn''t dare meet his gaze directly. Even more deferentially he continued, "They really were just some petty thugs! Their target wasn''t Young Master, it was another female student. They went after Young Master only because they saw his expensive watch..."


    Old Zuo uttered two words: "Investigate again."


    "Yes sir!" Qian Cheng responded.


    Old Zuo lifted a hand, pointing at the people rushing around outside the window downstairs. "What are all those people doing down there again sote at night?"


    Qian Cheng immediately answered, "Young Master said he wanted to eat hot pot, so people are preparing."


    Old Zuo: "What nonsense is this? Eating hot pot?"


    Qian Cheng suppressed a smile and nodded. "It''s absolutely true."


    Old Zuo cursed angrily, "Has his brain gone soft?"


    Qian Cheng wiped the smile off his face instantly and replied, "He invited a female ssmate over to eat hot pot at home."


    Old Zuo: "Hmm...how unusual!"


    Qian Cheng secretly nced at Old Zuo''s expression, sensing his improved mood, and added: "It''s the female ssmate who saved Young Master."


    Old Zuo: "In the middle of the night, utter madness!"


    Although his wordsined, Qian Cheng knew Old Zuo was actually in a pretty good mood right now, so he went on talking a bit more: "That female ssmate is quite beautiful, and also rather special - it seems she knows some martial arts."


    "Oh? Now that''s a bit interesting." Old Zuo was about to ask more when the convoy returned in front of the Zuo family''s main building.


    Wei Shixu got out of the car alone, without any female ssmate.


    -----------------


    When Quan Zhisui returned to the Zuo residence, it was 11pm and no one else was home.


    First she went upstairs, threw her bloodstained school uniform in theundry hamper, put down her schoolbag, then went back downstairs to get some food.


    While serving up thete night meal, Gu Lan also passed along some information: "The Master and Madam are at a dinner banquet with drinks tonight, they''ll probably be back around dawn. The Old Master and Old Madam went to the hot springs resort next door, they won''t be back today."


    Those who worked in wealthy households needed some perceptiveness - whether useful or not, Gu Lan would update the young miss with any news she had.


    She could see clearly that this young miss could upend the skies over the Zuo household - she was an existence they absolutely could not afford to provoke. And the young miss never made things difficult for them workers anyway.


    Getting on her good side early was definitely the right move!


    Quan Zhisui nodded to show she understood, then quietly focused on her meal.


    With no one else home at the Zuo residence tonight, if she beat Zuo Zichen to death here, who would even know?


    How convenient!


    After the young miss finished herte night snack, Gu Lan began humming a little ditty as she stepped forward to clear the table, in high spirits.


    But before she could even clear half the table...


    Boom!


    Boom boom boom!


    Enormous crashing sounds came from the second floor, the ceiling shaking - Gu Lan was so startled she nearly dropped the tes!


    Since her first kick didn''t break down the double doors, Quan Zhisui took a few steps back to adjust her stance before sprinting forward and delivering a flying kick.


    With no elders home anyway, she kicked wildly and unreservedly!


    Zuo Zichen had not left his room after returning home, hiding in front of hisputer ying games. A broken arm wouldn''t affect his gaming one bit.


    He wore noise-cancelling headphones worth 20,000 yuan - the sound instion was superb, he couldn''t hear any kicking sounds at all.


    But then...why was his room shaking?


    Zuo Zichen had just taken off his headphones and stood up.


    Crash¡ª


    The door caved in!


    The ceiling and some decorative wood paneling came crashing down onto the marble floor, looking like a pile of rubble.


    Zuo Zichen just stood there, stunned as he watched Quan Zhisui kick down the door with a terrifying air and charge over to grab his hair.


    It felt like his scalp was being ripped off!


    "Ahhhhh!"


    He began screaming btedly.


    Quan Zhisui ignored his screams, keeping her grip mercilessly tight as she dragged him out of the room. She even took the chance to observe Zuo Zichen''s quarters.


    Hmph!


    As expected of the precious son of Zuo Zhiyu and Xu Zhiyi, the precious grandson of Zuo Zhaoyuan and Zhang Liufang.


    Zuo Zichen''s suite was even bigger than her entire suite!


    Top of the line gaming chair, gaming desk andputer, a 100-inch luxury TV, there was even a small tea corner - even the sofa was real leather.


    Most critically, Zuo Zichen''s rooms were situated in the literary star position of the entire second floor.


    He actually yed games here?


    Truly a waste of excellent fengshui!


    Quan Zhisui was already furious to begin with, and seeing this difference in treatment made her rage boil overpletely.


    So she went wild, losing all self-control!


    The mansion''s employees came running out when they heard themotion, but didn''t dare get too close, much less try to dissuade her. They just gathered at the top of the stairs watching from afar.


    Ma Xinwei and Gu Lan had already been in the kitchen and side hall, so they arrived fastest. Zhao Lin had already gone to bed, but when he heard the young miss was beating up the young master, he shot out of bed like a carp flipping over and rushed out to see.


    And this was the scene they saw - Quan Zhisui dragging Zuo Zichen by the hair, hauling him out of the room, dragging him along all the way.


    "Ahhhh! Ahhhhhh!"


    Zuo Zichen screamed deafeningly, face contorted.


    Quan Zhisui ignored his screams, grip unyieldingly tight, expression tranquil.


    She dragged him up the stairs, Zuo Zichen''s body sliding up each step with loud banging sounds.


    Quan Zhisui hauled him to the third floor, then continued upwards to the fourth floor.


    Zuo Zichen screamed nonstop for help the entire time.


    On the fourth floor was an elegantly constructed tea room and reception hall, with arge terrace and lovely view.


    The employees hurriedly followed them up to the fourth floor, still not daring to get close. They didn''t know what Quan Zhisui intended to do either, but knew the young miss was in a berserk state right now - anyone who tried to stop her would die!


    Quan Zhisui dragged Zuo Zichen onto the terrace, then further, right to the terrace edge.


    Now not just Zuo Zichen, even the employees were scared to death!


    What was she trying to do?


    Was she really going to push Zuo Zichen off the fourth floor?!


    That was exactly what Quan Zhisui did.


    She directly hefted Zuo Zichen up and flung him onto the terrace balustrade like a sack of rice, pressing his head down so he had a clear view of the ground far below.


    The Zuo family''s fourth floor was very high, the ceiling height of each level in the luxury mansion was taller than regr housing. Not to mention, status-conscious Zuo Zhiyu had bought a top tier luxury home.


    Falling from this height of nearly twenty meters would definitely kill you.


    Left Zuo Zichen scared out of his wits!


    "Ahhhh! Ahhhhhh! Help!"


    He screamed until his voice went hoarse.


    Right now, his upper body was dangling over the balustrade, head upside down with only his legs still inside. But his legs couldn''t reach the floor either, since the terrace balustrade was 1.6 meters tall while his legs weren''t that long!


    The fear of hanging in midair at such a heightpletely shattered Zuo Zichen''s mind!


    "Was it you who sent people to attack me?" Quan Zhisui asked this question calmly, despite her terrifying actions.


    Herposure formed a stark contrast against the hysterical screaming Zuo Zichen.

 Chapter 26: Down, King Kong Down.

    <h4>Chapter 26</h4>


    Zuo Zichen was so scared that his nose ran and tears streamed down his face. He frantically apologized, "I''m sorry! I''m sorry! I''m sorry!"


    Quan Zhisui smiled coldly, "So it really was you..."


    As she spoke, she suddenly pushed his head down harder!


    "Ahhhh!" Zuo Zichen screamed very cooperatively.


    He really felt like he was about to fall!


    His whole body was hanging. He kicked his legs wildly in fear, but the more he kicked the more he slipped down.


    "I''m sorry! Ahhhhh! I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong! I''ll never do it again! Please, I''m begging you! Daddy~ Mommy~ Wahhh~~"


    Zuo Zichen cried in pain. At this moment he really regretted it. The fear surging from his heart made him willing to give up everything, including his dignity.


    The servants in the distance also turned pale with fright. They tried toe forward to save him or dissuade her.


    But Quan Zhisui just nced at them.


    Her expression was simply indescribable. She was so calm yet so terrifying!


    It was as if her gaze said: Anyone who dares toe, she''ll let them hang here too! Hang with Zuo Zichen!


    Everyone was forced back by that one look, standing there quietly as chickens.


    Zuo Zichen was still yelling, calling out the names of every family member. He frantically called for the servants, grasping at every chance to beg for help.


    "Even if I was gutsier, I wouldn''t dare kill anyone! I just, just wanted to find someone to teach her a lesson..." Zuo Zichen cried again.


    Quan Zhisui sneered, "You wanted to teach me a lesson?"


    Zuo Zichen wailed again, "I''ll never do it again! I really won''t do it again! I was wrong! I really, really, really was wrong!"


    Quan Zhisui asked coldly, "Were you nning to put me in the hospital with your lesson?"


    "No, no, no! I didn''t... I, I, wahhhh!" Zuo Zichen knew his excuses were useless. He copsed again, desperately apologizing and bawling, crying for his parents.


    Quan Zhisui reminded him, "Keep your voice down. No one''s home tonight. You can yell until you''re hoarse and it''s useless."


    As for the servants, they were just working for money. How could they truly care about the life and death of the unruly young master?


    Most hoped to resolve this with the least fuss.


    They would report it to the police afterwards at most.


    The wealthy care about face!


    They avoid big scandals until the critical moment. So it hadn''t reached that point yet.


    Besides, Zuo Zichen wasn''t dead. Quan Zhisui hadn''t even hit him, just scared him.


    Zuo Zichen suddenly quieted. At this moment he regretted it so much he wished he was dead!


    He had specially asked about his parents'' schedule today, and arranged for his grandparents to be busy all evening before staying overnight at the vi next door. It was so that if Quan Zhisui was hospitalized after the beating, with no one home to sign documents, she would suffer more.


    Who knew he would be the one suffering!


    Quan Zhisui left Zuo Zichen hanging on the rooftop for half an hour, repeatedly tormenting and scaring him until his spirit waspletely crushed. Only then did she withdraw her hand and let him down.


    As soon as he came down, Zuo Zichen copsed limply on the ground, drenched in sweat. His eyes were swollen from crying, and his legs shook so hard he couldn''t stand up.


    Quan Zhisui brushed her hands casually as if nothing had happened, then started arranging tasks: "Aunt Gu."


    Gu Lan immediately walked out from the crowd: "I''m here, young miss."


    Quan Zhisui: "Clean up Zuo Zichen''s room thoroughly. Have someone fix the door."


    Gu Lan nodded profusely: "Will do right away!"


    Quan Zhisui looked to Ma Xinwei: "Uncle Ma, please make some more snacks. I used up a lot of energy today and want to eat another meal."


    Ma Xinwei immediately rolled up his sleeves and headed downstairs: "Young miss! Received!"


    "Brother Zhao," Quan Zhisui called the driver.


    Zhao Lin jerked in alert and responded: "Here!"


    At the same time, he rejoiced in his heart. Working as a driver at the Zuo house for so many years, this was the first time someone called him brother!


    Quan Zhisui nodded and said, "Please keep watch tonight and immediately inform me of any news."


    She was referring to the four missing Zuo family members, of course. The driver would know their schedule easiest.


    "Yes!" Zhao Lin stood tall and responded proudly.


    Next, Quan Zhisui''s piercing gaze swept over the others: "Keep silent about this. Understood?"


    Everyone nodded collectively, nodding vigorously. Some even raised their hands to swear they wouldn''t dare have any doubts.


    Finally, Quan Zhisui smiled at Zuo Zichen: "You didn''t think it was over, did you?"


    Thud¡ª


    Zuo Zichen''s heart sank to the bottom. What more was she going to do to him?


    Quan Zhisui turned and walked downstairs, then suddenly nced back at him: "Follow me. Do you want me to drag you down the stairs?"


    Zuo Zichen immediately stumbled after her, staying one step behind. He was terrified now, even breathing cautiously.


    Also, his whole body hurt from being knocked on the stairs and banging on the balcony. There were bruises all over his skin, and his face too.


    Especially his scalp. It really hurt!


    He felt like his hair had been pulled out!


    The Zuo house had an elevator but Quan Zhisui was toozy to take it. She leisurely walked down the stairs one step at a time.


    Behind her, Zuo Zichen was still crying, but didn''t dare sob too loudly. He just asionally wiped away some tears secretly. His eyes really hurt too, as if he had cut his eyelid.


    Back on the second floor in Zuo Zichen''s room.


    Quan Zhisui walked straight to the sofa and sat in the middle.


    Zuo Zichen didn''t even dare sit. He just stood there, covered all over in injuries, his face bruised and swollen, from hitting the stairs or scraping on the balcony.


    The servants quickly cleaned up, and the door was fixed, restored as much as possible.


    After everything was tidied up, Gu Lan brought in a tray and ced a cup of tea on the coffee table in front of Quan Zhisui: "Have some tea, young miss, to calm yourself."


    She didn''t pour tea for Zuo Zichen, afraid Quan Zhisui would re up and throw it at him directly.


    Zuo Zichen didn''t dare ask for hot tea now. He stood beside them not even daring to breathe loudly, desperately minimizing his presence.


    Quan Zhisui picked up the teacup. Then she spoke:


    "Kneel."


    Gu Lan''s eyes widened in shock. She quickly nced at Zuo Zichen before leaving the room and closing the door.


    Outside, the cleaning aunties stared wide-eyed at each other, just as shocked as Gu Lan.


    They had all heard it. The young miss actually made the young master kneel!


    No wonder she wanted the chef to make another meal. This wasn''t over yet, who knew howte it would go.

 Chapter 27: Kwon Chi-sui: Processed

    <h4>Chapter 27</h4>


    Zuo Zichen had copsed again!


    But he didn''t dare resist at all, not the slightest bit.


    So he just knelt straight in front of Quan Zhisui, decisively without any hesitation.


    Quan Zhisui looked at him, pointing at his legs, "You''re kneeling wrong, keep your knees together, straighten your feet, keep your feet together too, and sit on your heels. Keep your upper body still."


    Zuo Zichen didn''t even know why he had to kneel like this. With no resistance or half a word of doubt, he subconsciously did as told.


    So...


    "Ah!!!" he cried out in pain.


    He simply couldn''t kneel down, what kind of posture was this?


    He felt like the tendons in his feet and knees were about to snap!


    Quan Zhisui nced at him, "Kneel properly, this is the Vajra kneel, it''s for your own good."


    Zuo Zichen was about to go crazy!


    Get someone else to do this!


    But he didn''t dare say it out loud. He forcibly endured the agony and knelt there. Sweat instantly burst out and trickled down his forehead.


    It hurt so bad! It was excruciating!


    His legs constantly ached, almost every bit of flesh was stretched and torn, a ripping pain!


    Zuo Zichen felt like all his sinews, bones and muscles were about to rip apart!


    In just a few seconds, he was nearly numb from the pain.


    Quan Zhisui knew very well how painful it was, especially for someone like Zuo Zichen who had never stretched before. But what she just said was the truth, it was for his own good.


    The Vajra kneel is very good for the body!


    Zuo Zichen''s willpower was once again worn down until he lost all of his temper.


    Only then did Quan Zhisui start to question him, "Go ahead, tell me why you had people beat me up?"


    Without any other methods this time, Zuo Zichen spilled everything out in one go, "I''m sorry, I dislike you, I felt like you wrecked my family. Of course that''s not the case, I just can''t ept the facts. I was misguided and brought this on myself."


    He sounded quite sincere. Crying as he spoke, though most of it was from the pain.


    Quan Zhisui asked again, "Did you send Zhao Lin away?"


    Zuo Zichen gave a detailed ount again, "Yes I sent him away, I got the family driver busy so he wouldn''t be able toe pick you up. That way the people I found would get a chance to make their move."


    Quan Zhisui nodded, "You were quite well prepared, arge group of people, some with sticks and some with knives."


    Zuo Zichen straightened up sharply, shaking his head vigorously, "No! I absolutely did not tell them to use knives! I only wanted them to beat you up a little, I didn''t know they had knives!"


    Quan Zhisui nced at him, "Who told you to get up? Kneel back down."


    Zuo Zichen hurriedly sat back down on his heels, and was in agony again.


    Quan Zhisui took a sip of tea, "Were you thinking that when dad and mom get back, you can tell on me and denounce my violence towards you?"


    Zuo Zichen shook his head furiously, "No, no!"


    He lied, that was exactly what he was thinking. He even nned out how he would act pitiful, and encourage dad in one go to send Quan Zhisui away.


    As far away as possible!


    Quan Zhisuiughed, "Dad won''t send me away even if I beat you to death. Do you know why?"


    Zuo Zichen suddenly looked up,pletely puzzled. Even his acting was forgotten.


    "Why?" he asked.


    He really didn''t understand why dad was so tolerant towards Quan Zhisui, even neglecting his beloved son.


    Quan Zhisui nced at him with a smile, "I won''t tell you."


    Zuo Zichen lowered his head again and kept quiet.


    His mind was active, frantically analyzing, and finally came to the conclusion that Quan Zhisui was right.


    Ever since she arrived, no matter what outrageous things she did, dad didn''t even scold her, let alone hit her.


    The restaurant downstairs still wasn''t repaired!


    With how spoiled he had been for over ten years, he had never made such a scene at home. Zuo Zichen couldn''t even imagine how dad would treat him if he was the one who flipped the table.


    This made Zuo Zichen feel dejected. His heart went cold as he broke down crying again. This grown man had cried more times today than in his entire life.


    Quan Zhisui started to lecture him, "Alright, now tell me, what''s my status?"


    Zuo Zichen, while feeling the pain in his legs, spoke coherently and concisely, "You are the young miss of the Zuo Group, dad''s legal wife''s daughter and heir. You are my sister."


    He even said "sister".


    The corners of Quan Zhisui''s mouth twitched. She asked again, "Then what about you?"


    Zuo Zichen wiped his tears and said, "I''m an illegitimate son who got his status by luck. I don''t have the right topete with my sister. Everything that belongs to the Zuo family is my sister''s."


    Simply outrageous!


    Quan Zhisui was speechless again, but went along with how things were developing, "That''ll do. Keep kneeling."


    Zuo Zichen quickly knelt properly again without cking off one bit!


    Just then, Quan Zhisui''s phone vibrated. She took it out and saw that Wei Shixu had sent her a message.


    It was a photo of a seafood hotpot.


    The background was his home restaurant. In the middle of the table was a yinyang hotpot with boiling bubbles. It was surrounded by various ingredients and looked very tempting.


    Quan Zhisui: "..."


    This guy was craving her sote into the night?


    Luckily she had asked Ma Xinwei to prepare a second midnight snack, or she might starve!


    After sending the hotpot photo, Wei Shixu sent over a spreadsheet file.


    [Wei Shixu: I''ve investigated clearly, the ringleader is Zuo Zichen, he was targeting you.]


    [Wei Shixu: How do you n to deal with this?]


    The Wei family really was capable. It wasn''t even past midnight, yet the cause and effect of the incident was already investigated crystal clear. The spreadsheet contained information on every thug who made a move today. Most of them were caught, and the Wei family was searching extensively for the few who got away quickly.


    As long as they hadn''t left Liangxi, they''d all be caught sooner orter.


    As for Zuo Zichen...


    Wei Shixu said one line - not only Zuo Zichen, even the entire Zuo family might be finished.


    However, this incident wasn''t targeting him. The target of this group was Quan Zhisui.


    Whether Zuo Zichen lived or died wasn''t that important. Wei Shixu didn''t want to meddle too much, he was just curious how Quan Zhisui would handle this.


    Seeing this information, Quan Zhisui was a bit surprised. Then in a good mood, she lifted her phone towards Zuo Zichen who was kneeling on the ground and snapped a photo.


    After sending the photo to Wei Shixu, she added another line.


    [Quan Zhisui: It''s been handled.]


    Right after sending the message, Gu Lan came knocking, "Young miss, the midnight snack is ready."


    Quan Zhisui beckoned to Zuo Zichen, "Get up, let''s go eat."


    Zuo Zichen looked up in pleasant surprise and disbelief, "I, I can eat too?"


    Quan Zhisui: "Are you stupid? This is your home."


    Although she had just about finished training Zuo Zichen, Quan Zhisui felt no sense of belonging towards the Zuo family at all, and didn''t want that so-called family property.


    Tears streamed down Zuo Zichen''s face, "Thank you, sister!"


    No, this was no longer his home. This was your home now!

 Chapter 28: Seven Years to Sharpen a Sword

    <h4>Chapter 28</h4>


    Wei''s Restaurant.


    Wei Shixu just casually asked, he didn''t even expect Quan Zhisui to reply to the message, since it was already veryte.


    Who would have thought Quan Zhisui instantly sent back a photo of Zuo Zichen with a bloody nose and swollen face, kneeling on the ground crying.


    Wei Shixu was stunned for a moment, then immediately burst outughing!


    His eyes lit up, feeling like the hot pot tasted even better tonight.


    Quan Zhisui was a thorough action-taker, she actually rushed back home and tortured Zuo Zichen half to death!


    Having a grudge, she took revenge on the spot!


    Violent and direct!


    Really awesome!


    ...


    The entrance.


    Old Wei sat in a wheelchair, had been waiting in the hallway outside the restaurant for a while.


    He heard Wei Shixu''sughtering from inside.


    Thatughter was unique, like he saw some extremely funny joke, and also like a poor man who won the lottery, full of surprise.


    Old Wei looked at Qian Cheng doubtfully beside him: "Did his brain break?"


    Qian Cheng also felt very strange, and after thinking about it, analyzed: "The young master''s temperament has changed greatly since the kidnapping seven years ago. And with what happened today, he must have been a bit traumatized. Should we find a psychologist for him?"


    Old Wei''s expression was disdainful: "Forget it! His mind is fine, his brain is what''s broken!"


    Qian Cheng frowned and reminded: "Old Wei, the young master almost died seven years ago..."


    Old Wei raised his eyebrows at him: "You underestimate him too much."


    Qian Cheng moved his lips, but ultimately didn''t say anything. But from his expression, it was clear he was very worried about Wei Shixu''s mental health.


    Old Wei let out a cold snort, and maneuvered his electric wheelchair forward. As he slowly moved down the long hallway, he slowly said:


    "That was a hurdle in his life, one that has long passed. It may have been very serious, serious enough to affect his values and temperament, but the past is the past. Once you''ve crossed a hurdle, there''s no need to look back."


    "If seven years ago he could walk back from another city, how could his adaptability have regressed seven yearster?"


    "Does the heir of the Wei family not even have this level of endurance?"


    When he said thest sentence, Old Wei''s aura rose, still exuding grandeur even while sitting in a wheelchair.


    Qian Cheng looked at the back of the old man ahead, moved inwardly.


    He caught up, using his hand to push the wheelchair, and said: "I''m just worried..."


    "Worried?" Old Wei sneered coldly: "Worrying, sympathizing,menting... these are the most useless emotions! When my legs were crippled, who came to worry about me? Everyone was busy fighting over the family property, fighting to the point they didn''t care when the biological son was kidnapped!"


    Qian Cheng sighed: "Speaking of the young master''s sad experience again."


    Old Wei was vigorous: "What happened cannot be allowed to change him, memories can''t disappear into thin air either. What happened today won''t be any shock to him, he knows very clearly the Wei family''s power is still there, no one dares to touch him now."


    "He has indeed changed a lot over the past few years, seen through some people, shed useless feelings, learned to fight and seize, and brought out ferocity in himself as well."


    "A lone tiger, this is the process of bing the holder of power, a necessary path."


    Qian Cheng smiled and said: "Yes, we have witnessed the young master''s growth, tempered for seven years like a sword."


    Old Wei squinted his eyes: "If the Wei family is not united, power and wealth can only be concentrated in one person''s hands. Spread out, and the Wei family will turn to nothing."


    "What happened seven years ago is indeed unforgivable, but it also cultivated someone capable of handling things for my Wei family! Among all my descendants, only Shixu has my bearing when I was young. The vigor in him is just like me back in the day!"


    Qian Cheng was astonished for a moment: "So it was a mix of good and bad? But the young master was still a bit abnormal today."


    Old Wei: "Abnormal is normal. If you were provoked by a fly, you''d be a little annoyed too."


    Qian Cheng suddenly realized: "I see..."


    Old Wei added: "It''s Kong Mingze you should arrange psychological counseling for. I see he has quite severe traumatic stress."


    Qian Cheng frowned: "Indeed, when our people arrived, his whole state was very wrong."


    Old Wei''s eyes shed: "When one''s capabilities are insufficient, being overly responsible is not a good thing."


    Qian Cheng was puzzled: "You mean, clear out the young master''s circle of friends?"


    Old Wei red at him: "He only has this one friend left and I''ll do him in too? My brain must be broken!"


    Qian Cheng: "Oh..."


    Old Wei: "He''s so responsible butcks capability, then increase his capability!"


    Qian Cheng was extremely hesitant: "That''s a bit difficult..."


    Old Wei waved his hand impatiently: "Elevate his parents!"


    Qian Chengughed out loud: "Looks like the leading restaurant business in Liangxi is about to change hands."


    "Wait!" Old Wei suddenly changed his words: "We shouldn''t get involved in this matter, let Shixu handle it himself after hees of age."


    Qian Cheng continued smiling: "Alright."


    Old Wei maneuvered the wheelchair to go faster, cursing and grumbling all the way: "I don''t care about his friends!"


    -----------------


    Early next morning.


    Left family''s small kitchen was filled with people, except for Xu Kuang who was still apanying the two elders in the vacation area, all the hired help had gathered, frantically discussing what happened yesterday.


    Since the young miss said to keep their mouths shut, it was clearly meant for the Left family''s people, not limited to their own hired help gossiping.


    Ma Xinwei was the most excited: "Comee! Let''sy out a timeline, say everything we know!"


    Zhao Lin raised his hand: "I''ll go first! Yesterday afternoon I took the old master shopping, but he didn''t buy anything, and insisted on having me drive around the city for two hours. By nighttime, I missed picking up the young miss from school. Then he had me take him to meet up with the old madam in the vacation area. By the time I got back it was veryte, I thought the young miss had gone to bed already. Who would''ve thought she came back eventer than me?!"


    Ma Xinwei: "So! What was the young miss up tost night? Why did she throw a huge tantrum as soon as she got back?"


    Gu Lan shivered and spoke up: "I also have a clue. I saw blood in the young miss''sundry hamper. Her school uniform was covered in blood! My god how scary!"


    Zhao Lin stared wide-eyed: "The young miss was injured? But I didn''t see any wounds on her!"


    Ma Xinwei: "You fool! The young miss knows martial arts, it must have been someone else''s blood!"


    Gu Lan: "The young miss was attacked by someone after school yesterday?"


    Ma Xinwei: "Please be more precise, she was the one attacking others."


    Gu Lan: "Oh oh, then why did she beat the young master half to death as soon as she got home? She even made the young master kneel! Good heavens! At least half an hour of kneeling!"


    Zhao Lin suddenly pped the table: "I got it! The young master sent people to deal with the young miss, but she fought back and killed them all, then directly beat up the culprit when she got home!"


    Ma Xinwei: "I think so too! Otherwise why was the old master acting so strange yesterday, upying Zhao Lin''s time for no reason? The old master dotes on the young master, it must have been arranged by the young master, just to make sure no one picked up the young miss from school, then she encountered trouble."


    Gu Lan looked out the window: "It was chaoticte into the night yesterday, the young miss still isn''t up yet."


    At this time Fang Yue spoke up: "Alright, stop gossiping about the employer''s family affairs."


    Everyone immediately went silent. When they started chatting you didn''t say anything, just listening the whole time off to the side.


    You were curious to hear the gossip too!

 Chapter 29: Normal people are not as bad as you.

    <h4>Chapter 29</h4>


    Zuo family, third floor master bedroom.


    At 6:55 am, the rm clock rang, and Zuo Zhiyu and Xu Zhiyi both sat up in bed, starting their day exhausted.


    Last night at the banquet, they met many important people, and even chatted with the Wei family for a bit. After that, they attended a cocktail party, not getting home until 2 am.


    They had fun ying, but were just as exhausted when they went to bed.


    They both thought of the door banging every morning, it was practically a psychological scar at this point!


    So the two set an rm ahead of time to deal with it, deciding to wake up early to appease Quan Zhisui before going back to sleep.


    But time ticked by, from 6:55 to 7, and again to 7:30, yet the bedroom door remained silent.


    Quan Zhisui hadn''te at all!


    Xu Zhiyi was going crazy trying to restrain her anger as she said: "Dear, Quan Zhisui isn''t saying good morning to you today?"


    Zuo Zhiyu was also confused, but he was tired and didn''t want to get up and ask, so he said to Xu Zhiyi: "You go downstairs and see."


    Xu Zhiyi''s face copsed: "Do we really need to make a big fuss about this?"


    Zuo Zhiyu: "Then ask Gu Lan, isn''t she the nanny for both kids?"


    Xu Zhiyi took out her phone and called Gu Lan. Half a minuteter, she waspletely stunned. She turned her head and said: "Dear, today is the weekend, Quan Zhisui doesn''t have school."


    Quan Zhisui was still fast asleep!!!


    After a long pause, Zuo Zhiyu squeezed out a single word: "Damn!"


    The two were extremely angry, but there was nothing they could do. Theyid back down and buried their heads under the covers to sleep.


    Two hourster, at 9:30 am.


    Knock knock!


    Quan Zhisui, with a piece of bread in her mouth, knocked on the door of the third floor room.


    She woulde disturb the two every morning, she just got to decide the time. She had gone to bedtest night, so of course she woke upte this morning, plus it was the weekend. Wasn''t that perfectly normal?


    Knock knock! Bang bang!


    Quan Zhisui knocked and banged on the door, following her routine of harassment.


    Xu Zhiyi was woken up first, hearing the familiar yet terrifying sound of knocking. She felt like she had just fallen asleep and was forced to open her eyes, which stung badly and could barely open.


    She strongly suppressed the urge to scream and cry, and shook awake Zuo Zhiyu, who was snoring beside her.


    Xu Zhiyi''s voice was choked with sobs: "Dear! Dear, wake up!"


    Your crazy daughter is at it again!


    When Zuo Zhiyu opened his eyes he was still confused. Hearing the banging get louder, he began to panic: "What''s wrong? What''s going on? Didn''t you say she doesn''t have school on weekends?"


    "She''s up!" Xu Zhiyi screamed in despair.


    Zuo Zhiyu hastily put on his clothes and waved his hand: "You, you go open the door."


    Xu Zhiyi was nearly crying. She got up and opened the bedroom door.


    Quan Zhisui still had a spirited look about her. She was even holding a piece of bread, eating while knocking on the door.


    But she hadn''te alone.


    Behind her stood a young man with a bruised and swollen face.


    At first, Xu Zhiyi didn''t react to who it was. But when she took a closer look, she shrieked: "Zichen! Zichen, what happened to you?!"


    "Aunt Xu, you still haven''t said good morning to me," Quan Zhisui reminded her.


    Saying good morning was the first task, her son''s life and death was lower priority.


    Xu Zhiyi''s mind went nk. She hastily smiled at Quan Zhisui and reflexively greeted: "Good morning, Quan Quan..."


    After saying it, she reacted with a start.


    "Ah! Wait!" Xu Zhiyi''s eyes bulged out: "What is going on here? Tell me what happened! How did my son get beaten like this?"


    Quan Zhisui calmly replied: "He was beaten by outsiders."


    Xu Zhiyi''s face twitched. She couldn''tprehend this, she could only blink nkly: "Oh, uh, thank you..."


    Quan Zhisui''s face was impassive: "No need to thank me, pay me."


    With that, she looked into the room.


    Zuo Zhiyu had already put on a coat and walked over. He smiled at her: "Quan Quan, good morning! Daddy says good morning to you today!"


    After saying it, he could go back to sleep, right?


    Quan Zhisui was very satisfied: "Good morning Daddy, I''m going to go y now."


    Zuo Zhiyu breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay okay, go y."


    Because of the angle, he hadn''t even seen Zuo Zichen''s injuries at all. His mind waspletely preupied with saying good morning, and he also hadn''t heard Xu Zhiyi''s random screaming from earlier.


    After Quan Zhisui spoke, she didn''t care how distressed Xu Zhiyi was over her son. She directly reached out and mmed the door shut, separating mother and son.


    Xu Zhiyi stared nkly at the closed door, wanting to open it and run out.


    But Zuo Zhiyu''s angry shout rang out: "What are you doing! Don''t open the door! Are you crazy? What are you trying to stir up?"


    Xu Zhiyi: "No, it''s just, my son..."


    Zuo Zhiyu: "Stop worrying about your son! I want to sleep now! We''ll deal with anything after I wake up!"


    Xu Zhiyi covered her face and crouched down, silently weeping. Her mind wasn''t totally clear right now, but she also didn''t dare defy Zuo Zhiyu.


    Compared to her son being beaten, she was more afraid of angering Zuo Zhiyu and getting a divorce.


    Outside the door.


    Zuo Zichen numbly followed Quan Zhisui downstairs.


    He was also nearly crazy. Early in the morning Quan Zhisui had woken him up without letting him eat breakfast, just dragged him upstairs to knock on the door and do things he didn''t understand at all.


    The key was, he was in so much pain! His whole body hurt!


    Zuo Zichen thought about the conversation earlier. Quan Zhisui had turned the fight into this in just a few sentences.


    She made it seem like he was beaten by petty hooligans?


    She made it seem like she had saved him?


    She actually said she had saved him!


    Zuo Zichen looked at the injuries on his body, unable to calm down for a long time.


    Quan Zhisui had slept well and was full of energy as she arranged: "Take out your allowance, I want to go shopping for clothes today."


    It was autumn now. She didn''t have any thick clothes, she couldn''t just wear her school uniform at home every day.


    Zuo Zichen didn''t dare refuse. He agreed without hesitation, spending his money was better than getting beaten again, just don''t beat him anymore!


    After thinking for a bit, he was suddenly curious: "Sister, you were pretty naughty as a kid, right?"


    Quan Zhisui looked back, shocked: "Huh? How did you know?"


    Any single thing from her childhood could shock people. The beatings she took were more than all the older apprentice brothersbined.


    Zuo Zichen smiled awkwardly: "Ha ha... I can just tell."


    No normal person is as destructive as you, or as able to twist words, or as shameless!

 Chapter 30: Candid Camera

    <h4>Chapter 30</h4>


    When Zhao Lin drove Zuo''s sister and brother out, he was doubting his whole life.


    Last night''s fight was fierce, earth shattering, like a war. Zuo Zichen almost got beaten to death by Quan Zhisui!


    And they can go shopping together this morning?


    Zhao Lin even wondered if he was still asleep!


    "Miss, young master, which mall to go?" he asked.


    Quan Zhisui pointed at Zuo Zichen: "Ask his wallet."


    The more money, the more expensive stuff they buy. The less money, the cheaper stuff they buy. But considering Zuo Zichen''s favor in the Zuo family, how little could his pocket money be?


    Zuo Zichen immediately sat up straight, panicking: "Sister, I haven''t gotten this month''s pocket money yet. I, I, I only have 2,000 yuan on me now."


    In fact he hadn''t gotten it, but spent it all.


    He spent it on hiring people to fight.


    Quan Zhisui''s sharp, expressionlessmentary: "Wow, so poor."


    She had 10,000 yuan for living expenses per meal, yet Zuo Zichen only had 2,000 on him.


    Zuo Zichen tried to remedy: "I, I''ll give you all I have next month when I get the money!"


    Quan Zhisui casually asked: "How much is your monthly pocket money?"


    Zuo Zichen didn''t dare lie: "Fifty thousand."


    Quan Zhisui''s voice suddenly rose: "What?! Fifty thousand?!"


    Zuo Zichen opened his mouth, then said: "I, I can ask dad for fifty thousand, then ask mom for another fifty thousand separately, a total of one hundred thousand. Is that enough?"


    He didn''t understand why Quan Zhisui''s voice suddenly went up. He thought she found it too little, so he immediately came up with the idea of asking both sides for money.


    At this moment, Zuo Zichen didn''t dare offend Quan Zhisui one bit!


    Quan Zhisui nced at him and said, "From now on take double, give me half."


    Zuo Zichen nodded repeatedly: "Okay! Good!"


    Too good, sister is so kind to leave him half. He thought he would have no pocket money from now on!


    "But..." Zuo Zichen hesitated again. He decided to make things clear in advance, "I can''t do this every time. They will find out if I take double each month."


    As he spoke, he observed Quan Zhisui. She was always expressionless. He couldn''t tell if she was happy or unhappy.


    Zuo Zichen feared angering her again.


    Sure enough, Quan Zhisui nced at him, giving him a shudder!


    Zuo Zichen looked miserable: "Really! I''m not lying! This is the pattern I summarized after so many years! I really can''t take double each time. I''ll give you all I have when I have money, sister!"


    Quan Zhisui looked him up and down and said, "Can''t you ask your mom this month and grandparents next month?"


    Zuo Zichen was dumbfounded: "Ah? Ah???"


    Quan Zhisui contemptuously turned her head: "Idiot!"


    Zuo Zichen suddenly realized: "Oh right! Ask dad for fifty thousand each month, then take turns with mom and grandparents. One after another, they won''t notice!"


    He suddenly felt Quan Zhisui was so smart, especially when doing bad things...


    Thinking of this, Zuo Zichen shivered. He felt bitter, not knowing when this bitter life would end.


    Since Zuo Zichen only had 2,000 yuan on him and Quan Zhisui was unwilling to spend her own food allowance, the two went to an ordinary mall.


    Zuo Zichen never shopped at such ces before. He only bought luxury goods.


    Quan Zhisui mainly chose sportswear. Though not asfortable as martial arts workout clothes, she had to try to fit in in the city. She couldn''t wear school uniform with workout clothes everyday. The school uniform design conflicted with the workout clothes, wearing both would be weird.


    Sportswear in the city was also expensive. She knew this sports brand. A T-shirt cost 200-300 yuan.


    Quan Zhisui felt it was expensive, money grabbing!


    But looking at the fawning Zuo Zichen behind her...


    Yes, buy it! Spend the Zuo family''s money!


    When trying on clothes, Zuo Zichen obediently sat outside waiting. He keptplimenting how good she looked, then generously paid.


    Quan Zhisui bought two T-shirts and a jacket, spending a total of 1,000 yuan.


    Looking at the bnce on his phone, Zuo Zichen fawned: "I still have 1,000 in my card. Want two more?"


    He suddenly realized Quan Zhisui didn''t have any clothes. She had been in Liangxi City for so many days...


    Zuo Zhiyu never cared about such details of life. Xu Zhiyi only wanted to suppress Quan Zhisui, even less likely to prepare these things. Of course their ns failedpletely.


    Quan Zhisui shook her head and looked at the time: "It''s lunchtime. I want hot pot."


    Zuo Zichen holding two shopping bags nodded quickly: "Which restaurant? Oh right, I pre-paid at a hot pot ce. Let''s eat there!"


    Quan Zhisui: "Do they have seafood?"


    She almost starved for seafood yesterday.


    Zuo Zichen: "Yes, seafood hot pot!"


    Anyway, he now had to cater to Quan Zhisui''s needs and satisfaction.


    After leaving the sportswear shop, the door of another fitting room opened. It had been closed for a long time. The siblings didn''t know someone was hiding inside!


    At this moment, Zhou Chun looked as if she had discovered a huge secret. She was shocked watching the two''s backs. She raised her phone and started taking pictures from afar, several in a row.


    Zuo Zichen and Quan Zhisui?


    OMG!


    How could they be shopping together?


    And Zuo Zichen was fawning, paying and treating Quan Zhisui to hot pot!


    Are they together?!


    ......


    Quan Zhisui didn''t expect the hot pot ce Zuo Zichen mentioned was a chain under Kong Mingze''s family.


    She watched as he arrogantly walked in and skillfully picked expensive seafood.


    For this seafood hot pot meal, he ordered 5,000 yuan worth of food.


    Due to the high consumption, they were led upstairs to a private room and served by the manager.


    Zuo Zichen kept introducing: "Sister, let me tell you the best thing about this hot pot ce is the broth. Try the broth first then dip the seafood. The broth is amazing!"


    Quan Zhisui nodded: "I know, it''s their secret recipe."


    Zuo Zichen: "How do you know?"


    Quan Zhisui: "Kong Mingze''s family runs it. He sits next to me."


    Zuo Zichen: "......"


    He suddenly hated this hot pot ce!


    How could upstarts have such a good secret recipe and run such a high-end hot pot ce?


    Previously, Zuo Zichen had always thought Kong Mingze''s family''s hot pot ce was very bad, very ordinary, very cheap.


    The manager''s eyes lit up next to them: "Miss, are you ssmates with our young boss?"


    Quan Zhisui: "Yes, same ss."


    The manager smiled: "Then let me check with him. Young boss said ssmates eat at a discount."


    Quan Zhisui nodded: "Okay, tell him my name is Quan Zhisui."


    The manager came back in five minutes and smiled: "Ms. Quan, our shop gifts you a lifetime VIC card. Young boss said your future meals here are free."


    Zuo Zichen was shocked: "Hot pot ces have VIC too?"


    He thought only luxury goods had this tier system. VIC was more high-end than VIP.


    The manager smiled: "We didn''t before, but do now. Ms. Quan can use face recognition from now on."


    "No." Quan Zhisui pointed at the stunned Zuo Zichen: "I''m not eating alone today. He''s paying. No discount."


    Zuo Zichen opened and closed his mouth. He stayed silent in the end.


    Wasn''t his money still money?


    He felt so bitter!

 Chapter 31: Photos of the Explosion

    <h4>Chapter 31</h4>


    Quan Zhisui took out her phone, and as expected, Kong Mingze this chatterbox had already sent her more than ten messages.


    [Kong Mingze: Are you going to my hot pot restaurant to eat hot pot?!]


    [Kong Mingze: You should have told me earlier, I would have gone too. We were supposed to treat you to hot pot yesterday but didn''t get to eat it.]


    [Kong Mingze: But my mom won''t let me go out. Actually I feel fine, it was just a couple of stitches.]


    [Kong Mingze: I''ll get you a vic, haha, then you can use face recognition to get in like Wei Shixu!]


    [Kong Mingze: Oh which friend did you go eat with? My store manager said you didn''te alone. Is it our ssmates? Or your family?]


    [...]


    He really does talk a lot and is very nosy!


    Quan Zhisui didn''t even read through it all, her eyes were going blurry. She took out her phone and snapped a photo of Zuo Zichen picking dishes and sent it over.


    [Quan Zhisui: I''m here with Zuo Zichen. Don''t give this kid a discount, I just beat him up yesterday.]


    He replied instantly...


    [Kong Mingze: Wow, how badly beaten up is he with that swollen face and bruised eyes?]


    [Quan Zhisui: I beat him as badly as I could without killing him. I''ll chat moreter, I''m starting to eat.]


    [Kong Mingze: Talk to youter!]


    He couldn''t sit still and immediately exited the chat with Quan Zhisui and opened the chat with Wei Shixu.


    [Kong Mingze: Hey, hey, guess what Quan Zhisui did when she went home yesterday?]


    Coincidentally, Wei Shixu was free and replied to his message right away for once.


    [Wei Shixu: Beat up Zuo Zichen.]


    [Kong Mingze: How did you know?!]


    [Wei Shixu: How did you know? Did she tell you?]


    [Kong Mingze: [Photo] Look, she and Zuo Zichen are eating hot pot at my shop now! The store manager told me, otherwise I wouldn''t have known she went! This is hrious, look at Zuo Zichen''s face and his injuries, hahaha!]


    Seeing this photo, Wei Shixu raised an eyebrow, so she went to eat hot pot.


    Kong Mingze keptughing hysterically, sending long strings of mocking text.


    Wei Shixu nced over it without reading it all, just like Quan Zhisui. After a while, he sent over the photo of Zuo Zichen kneeling on the ground crying from yesterday.


    As expected, this photo was explosive!


    [Kong Mingze: Holy crap! Quan Zhisui is so fierce! Is this the scene of yesterday''s beating? Hahaha! This photo is really...hahaha...I canugh at him for the rest of my life!]


    Followed by a dozenughing emoji and constant bursts of voice messages like a machine gun.


    Wei Shixu muted his phone and threw it aside.


    On the huge TV screen was ying thetest horror movie. Wei Shixu turned off all the lights, drew the curtains, and sat on the sofa to enjoy it.


    The phone screen beside him kept shing with messages popping up on the lock screen. Mixed in with Kong Mingze''s barrage of messages were notifications from another person.


    Wei Shixu was annoyed by the constant shing light and flipped his phone over.


    ...


    Not long after Zhou Chun sent the photo to Wei Shixu, she didn''t get any response. Scrolling up, Wei Shixu rarely replied to her messages either.


    "He must be studying..." Zhou Chun consoled herself.


    Wei Shixu was an excellent student who worked hard to maintain being top of the grade. He must study diligently and wouldn''t y on his phone for no reason.


    -----------------


    At the Zuo family home.


    Xu Zhiyi didn''t fall asleep afterwards. She was worried about her son and waited downstairs in the living room.


    Hearing that Zuo Zichen and Quan Zhisui went out together, she didn''t understand how her son ended up mingling with Quan Zhisui. Weren''t these two ipatible?


    Xu Zhiyi''s expression kept changing as she decided to thoroughly investigate this.


    First her son had a fracture and now he''s covered in injuries. Just what was going on? Did he offend someone at school?


    She called over Gu Lan, the personal attendant who was responsible for taking care of the children''s daily needs, includingundry, making beds, wake up calls and other intimate matters.


    Gu Lan was nervous when she saw Xu Zhiyi and stood to the side with lowered gaze. "Madam, you called for me?"


    "Yes."


    Xu Zhiyi nced at her, then drank her tea while leaving Gu Lan hanging.


    ying the silent treatment.


    Gu Lan grew more and more anxious, at a loss of what to do. "Is there something the matter, Madam?"


    Xu Zhiyi put down her teacup and acted pretentiously. "I''m asking you, just what has been going on with Zuo Zichen these past few days?"


    Gu Lan quickly said, "The young master is injured..."


    Bang!


    Xu Zhiyi mmed her teacup on the table, interrupting her. "He''s injured, do I need you to tell me that? Are my eyes blind?"


    Gu Lan shuddered in fright. "...I''m sorry Madam, I don''t know what happened to the young master at school."


    Xu Zhiyi scolded, "Then what about Quan Zhisui? You see those two every day, do you know anything?"


    Gu Lan had a difficult expression. "I also don''t know what''s going on with Miss Zhisui at school!"


    She didn''t dare to address Quan Zhisui as Miss.


    Xu Zhiyi coldly snorted. "Don''t know?"


    Gu Lan was anxious. "I really don''t know!"


    Xu Zhiyi stared at her. "Yesterday Zichen was beaten up. What time did hee home? How much do you know about this? What time did Quan Zhisuie home yesterday?"


    She didn''t reveal too much, only asking about the timeline.


    Gu Lan was also smart, only answering the questions. "The young master came home at 6pm. The young miss was at 11pm."


    Xu Zhiyi''s eyes widened. "That little slut came home sote? What was she doing?"


    Gu Lan suddenly recalled yesterday''s bloodied uniform and said, "When the young miss came home, her uniform had blood all over it. It seemed she hadn''t eaten dinner yet and asked the kitchen to make ate night snack."


    Xu Zhiyi: "Ah?"


    This was beyond her expectations.


    Could it really be that Zuo Zichen was beaten up and Quan Zhisui went to divert those people away, even getting injured herself?


    So that''s why Zuo Zichen came home early...


    But why were Zuo Zichen''s injuries more severe!


    Xu Zhiyi: "What did Quan Zhisui do aftering home?"


    She asked the key question.


    But Gu Lan answered without thinking: "Ate ate night snack together with the young master."


    Xu Zhiyi was shocked again: "Together with the young master?!"


    Gu Lan nodded: "Yes, they ate together."


    Xu Zhiyi: "..."


    Eatingte night snacks togetherst night, going out together today. Could it really be that Quan Zhisui had saved her son?


    How else to exin Zuo Zichen''s series of illogical behaviors?


    It was impossible for him to ept Quan Zhisui''s existence so easily!


    Xu Zhiyi''s expression kept changing as she eventually decided to suppress this matter. Lately Zuo Zhiyu had been favoring Quan Zhisui to an excessive degree. She couldn''t let him know about this, or who knows how he might further spoil his eldest daughter.


    He might let her get away with anything!


    Seeing that she couldn''t get any more useful information, Xu Zhiyi coldly said, "Call Zhao Lin over. He dropped the kids off from school yesterday, he can''t possibly not know anything."


    Gu Lan reminded, "Madam, Zhao Lin is still out right now. Also, he didn''t pick up the young master and young miss from school yesterday. He went out with the old master and sent the old master to the vacation vige."


    Xu Zhiyi cursed, "Those two old things really are annoying! We already have a driver and they still take my son''s!"


    Gu Lan: "..."


    Xu Zhiyi picked up her teacup again. "Nevermind, you can go. Take good care of Zichen, be more attentive. Don''t tell the Master about what I asked you."


    Gu Lan: "Don''t worry Madam, I won''t say anything."

 Chapter 32: Libra Tilts

    <h4>Chapter 32</h4>


    This weekend Quan Zhisui spent was especially calm, so calm that she didn''t have much chance to make trouble, and even every morning''s door knocking, Xu Zhiyi treated her politely, calling her Zhisui.


    Although it was obviously fake.


    Zuo Zichen was also well-behaved, spending most of the time staying in the room withouting out.


    Zuo Zhiyu seemed to have got in touch with new connections, and was out drinking until midnight every day.


    Plus Xu Zhiyi''s deliberate guidance, Zuo Zhiyu still didn''t know about his precious son being beaten badly.


    Monday morning.


    Zuo Zichen asked for leave again. He cared about face and wanted to wait until the injuries on his face got better before going back to school, at least until the swelling went down.


    So today Quan Zhisui ate breakfast and took the bus alone.


    She finished morning exercises early in the morning, changed into new clothes, put on her school uniform, happily ate breakfast, and then went upstairs to knock on the door.


    Zuo Zhiyu and Xu Zhiyi were somewhat numb already. As soon as the knock sounded, the two got dressed, opened the door, and greeted Quan Zhisui with smiles.


    Just like a daily routine, they politely said ''good morning'' to each other.


    After that, they closed the door.


    The smiles on their faces disappeared instantly, and their expressions became wooden as theyy down again.


    Zuo Zhiyu had not slept well for many days. Now the most painful thing for him was just saying ¡®good morning¡¯. They had to go through this every day, and every sleep was forcibly interrupted. Anyone would not be able to stand it!


    By now he was a little neurotic every time hey in bed.


    Xu Zhiyi next to him was also tortured and could not bear it any longer. She really didn''t want to pretend to be nice to meet that lunatic anymore!


    "Dear," Xu Zhiyi suddenly suggested, "Let''s go on vacation too?"


    Those two old men and old women did know how to hide. Ever since the restaurant was destroyed, they had been running around sightseeing, shopping, vacationing, and soaking in hot springs.


    Zuo Zhiyu had not slept well for many days. He quickly epted the proposal: "Okay, let''s get out to hide for a couple of days."


    Xu Zhiyi immediately sat up from the bed: "Let''s go now?"


    Zuo Zhiyu looked at the time...


    Go!


    Leave now!


    -----------------


    On the way to school, Quan Zhisui''s phone vibrated, it was a message.


    [Fang Yue: Went to the resort, tentatively two days.]


    The message was withdrawn two minutester.


    Quan Zhisui''s expression remained calm as she put her phone back in her pocket.


    Fang Yue was a strange person. Quan Zhisui didn''t get much out of him the first time she looked for him, but he was willing to answer ''yes'' and ''no'', as if stuck, especially cautious.


    In the end, Quan Zhisui only asked some superficial things, just that little affair of Zuo Zhiyu''s infidelity more than 10 years ago.


    Fang Yue must know other things. He had been driving for the Zuo family for 20 years. Even if Zuo Zhiyu deliberately concealed some secrets, there were always times when they could be noticed.


    There must be impure reasons why Zuo Zhiyu suddenly brought Quan Zhisui back.


    Fang Yue seemed to be observing, gambling.


    Betting on whether Quan Zhisui was worth it or not.


    Today, he unusually vited the norm and suddenly informed her of those two people''s whereabouts. Obviously, the scale in Fang Yue''s heart had tilted towards Quan Zhisui.


    ......


    When Quan Zhisui came to the ssroom, there was already a stack of textbooks and study materials for the second year of high school on the desk, piled full.


    She nced at the front row, and Wei Shixu happened to look back.


    "Thank you!" She said with a smile.


    Wei Shixu''s eyes were staring at her cor: "New clothes?"


    Quan Zhisui nodded: "Yeah!"


    At this time, Kong Mingze walked over. He didn''t buy milk tea today, but bought freshly squeezed fruit juice.


    Four servings, one for each person, no one should grab it!


    And this time he walked to Wei Shixu first, and put the four fruit juices in a row: "Grapes, pear, orange juice, watermelon, you pick first."


    Wei Shixu: "I don''t drink."


    Kong Mingze: "You''re annoying!!"


    He was really stressed by Wei Shixu, causing trouble every day.


    Kong Mingze didn''t care about him either. He gave Zhuge Ying the orange juice, and gave Quan Zhisui the pear juice. The remaining grape and watermelon juice were ced on his own desk.


    Then he sat in his seat with his arms crossed, waiting for Wei Shixu toe to make trouble.


    Sure enough.


    Wei Shixu got up and walked to the back row.


    Kong Mingze reacted greatly and jumped up: "Don''t grab it! Ah!"


    Unexpectedly, Wei Shixu looked at him as if he was an idiot, then sat down in front of Quan Zhisui.


    He was extremely normal today. He said to Quan Zhisui, "These test papers are all homework questions, new ones. Some are also exam papers, and I also brought the standard answers. You do the questions first, ask me if you don''t understand anything."


    After speaking, he even smiled: "New clothes are sports T-shirts?"


    Quan Zhisui was also willing tomunicate with Wei Shixu in his normal state, and nodded: "I didn''t bring many clothes when I came to Liangxi, bought them on weekends."


    Wei Shixu: "Looks good."


    Quan Zhisui looked at him strangely: "It''s just a in white T-shirt."


    "I''m not talking about the clothes." After saying this, Wei Shixu got up and returned to his seat.


    Kong Mingze next to him was dumbfounded, his eyes kept scanning the pear juice.


    Today Wei Shixu didn''t even grab Quan Zhisui''s drink?


    So normal! But weird!


    "Oh, I see!" Kong Mingze suddenly came up with this sentence.


    Quan Zhisui nced at him: "What do you know again?"


    Kong Mingze: "Didn''t you save Wei Shixu? Established a friendship of life and death! I just realized that you two finally have a good rtionship!"


    Quan Zhisui: "Oh."


    She didn''t think so.


    ......


    After the first ss, Zhuge Ying came over with a form: "Zhisui, the school sports meeting ising up soon, do you want to sign up for a project?"


    Quan Zhisui''s eyes lit up instantly: "What projects are there?"


    She loved school sports meetings so much!


    High school had a downside of heavy academic pressure, and there was no way to train well with just two weekend days, Quan Zhisui felt her bones were about to rust.


    She wished she could run a marathon to release her excessive energy!


    Zhuge Ying handed over the form: "I think you are suitable for long distance running, sprinting or high jump?"


    Quan Zhisui: "Sign me up for all high-intensity ones!"


    Zhuge Ying smiled: "Good, our ss really needs you."


    Kong Mingze came over and asked, "When is the school sports meeting? Can I recover from injury in time?"


    Zhuge Ying: "You can make it, there''s still half a month left."


    Kong Mingze: "Hehe, then I''ll sign up too."


    Wei Shixu came over at some point, and looked at the form, but didn''t mean to fill it out.


    Kong Mingze: "Wei Shixu, sign up too?"


    Wei Shixu: "I''m not feeling well."


    Kong Mingze: "Oh..."


    Quan Zhisui looked up and observed for a few seconds, and asked, "What''s wrong with you?"


    She really didn''t see it.


    Wei Shixu smiled ambiguously: "I almost died when I was a kid."


    Quan Zhisui couldn''t pick up the conversation at once.


    Zhuge Ying looked at Wei Shixu with a rare caring look. Since she heard about the kidnapping, she was not so repulsive towards Wei Shixu.


    Although she didn''t know exactly what happened, such great psychological trauma, Wei Shixu''s entric personality was very normal.


    Kong Mingze looked at Wei Shixu nervously, and timely changed the subject: "Ah, let''s eat together at noon! I can''t treat you to hot pot, so I''ll treat you to the canteen!"


    Zhuge Ying cooperated with augh: "Then I''ll eat more today."

 Chapter 33: Throw the School Uniform

    <h4>Chapter 33</h4>


    At lunch, Quan Zhisui felt veryfortable because Wei Shixu acted normally the entire time. He not only chatted andughed with them, but was also kind and gracious to Zhuge Ying, making Zhuge Ying feel honored.


    After lunch, the four of them went back to the ssroom together and chatted in a small corner in thest row.


    The atmosphere in the corner was harmonious. Quan Zhisui sat in her seat, leaning against the wall.


    Wei Shixu sat in the row in front of her, Zhuge Ying sat in Kong Mingze''s seat, and Kong Mingze stood in the corner. The three of them surrounded her, all with smiles on their faces.


    This scene made the other students in the ss a little envious, and they were amazed that this new transfer student Quan Zhisui was so incredible. Not only did she take down both Kong Mingze and Zhuge Ying, but she also had the ancient demon Wei Shixu under her control.


    "Wei Shixu! Someone is looking for you!" A ssmate by the corridor window shouted at this time.


    Quan Zhisui immediately looked at Kong Mingze.


    Sure enough!


    "Yo yo yo! The school hunk is so popr..." Zhuge Ying couldn''t stand it and covered his mouth: "That''s enough!"


    Kong Mingze was even aggrieved: "You won''t even let me speak."


    Zhuge Ying: "You do this every day, are you stuck in a time loop?"


    Quan Zhisui alsoughed: "I feel like time has reversed every day at noon."


    Kong Mingze: "Haha! Fun!"


    Even Wei Shixu''s eyes smiled as he said to Quan Zhisui: "I''m going out for a bit."


    Quan Zhisui: "?"


    Why did he tell her?


    When Wei Shixu walked out of the ssroom, he was still smiling. He saw that the person looking for him was Zhou Chun, and he was still in a good mood.


    Zhou Chun frowned as she looked at the small corner in thest row for a long time. When she saw Wei Shixu walk out from there, her frown deepened even more!


    "Wei Shixu, didn''t you see the message I sent you?" she asked.


    Wei Shixu: "What message? About the MUN?"


    Zhou Chun couldn''t help but raise her voice: "No! I sent you a photo! Didn''t you see it?!"


    The joy in Wei Shixu''s eyes disappeared, and he looked at her with a smile that was not a smile: "Why should I look at it?"


    Zhou Chun was stunned: "What? You..."


    Wei Shixu had no interest in talking to her further, and turned to leave.


    Zhou Chun panicked and reached out to grab his sleeve!


    Wei Shixu''s eyes instantly turned as cold as ice, scaring several ssmates by the window and door. The few people who were chatting andughing fell silent in an instant.


    But with her back to Zhou Chun, she waspletely unaware. She was still talking about the photo: "I don''t believe you didn''t see that photo. You''d better stay away from people like Quan Zhisui..."


    Before she could finish speaking.


    Rip!


    Wei Shixu suddenly tore open his school uniform zipper, took it off and threw it violently from the second floor!


    His actions were so fast that it caught people off guard. Zhou Chun''s hand was still holding on, and she was pulled forward a step, and her face was also pped by the swinging uniform.


    It was heavy!


    Zhou Chun froze in ce, incredulous as she looked up.


    She met a pair of extremely vicious eyes.


    "Are you looking to die?"


    Wei Shixu''s voice was icy, looking at Zhou Chun as if she was some filthy trash, full of disgust and malice!


    Zhou Chun was frightened by this look, staggering back several steps, almost losing her bnce.


    She had only pulled on his clothes a little...


    This time it wasn''t just the students by the window, the whole ss 2-1 fell silent.


    In the corner of thest row, Quan Zhisui and the other two noticed something was wrong and looked out the window.


    Zhuge Ying was stunned at first when he saw Zhou Chun''s expression, but when he looked at Wei Shixu, his mood wasplicated.


    Wei Shixu had that look in his eyes again, hating as if he wanted to kill the whole world.


    Kong Mingze immediately got up and rushed out. He quickly pulled Wei Shixu back a bit, separating the two, and then waved at Zhou Chun.


    "Go! Go!"


    But Wei Shixu looked at Kong Mingze coldly: "Do you want to die too?"


    Kong Mingze knew from this that he was really angry this time. He grabbed him: "Don''t be impulsive! Don''t, don''t! We''re all ssmates..."


    "Wei Shixu, you..." Zhou Chun''s eyes were red, biting her lip as tears were about to fall.


    Kong Mingze was almost panicking: "Hurry up and go! Go!"


    Zhou Chun didn''t dare stay here any longer. With red rimmed eyes, she quickly ran into the girls'' bathroom.


    At this time, the head teacher Qian Ya came over and yelled in the corridor: "Who threw the school uniform down?! Come out!"


    Kong Mingze didn''t dare let go of Wei Shixu. He shouted across the corridor: "Me! Me! I''ll go pick it up in a bit!"


    Qian Ya scolded: "Again and again, when will it end? Reflect first!"


    Kong Mingze: "Writing, writing!"


    Wei Shixu pried open Kong Mingze''s hands, and went back to the ssroom with a gloomy face without saying a word.


    The whole ss 1 was quiet, breathing very carefully.


    Kong Mingze went downstairs to pick up the uniform, brought it back and handed it to Wei Shixu: "Picked it up, do you still want it?"


    Wei Shixu didn''t even look at it: "Throw it away."


    "Oh." Kong Mingze went to the back row and threw the uniform in the trash can.


    He wanted to go back to his seat, but Zhuge Ying was still sitting there, with aplicated expression on his face.


    Kong Mingze looked at Quan Zhisui next to him again, and his expression became even moreplicated than Zhuge Ying''s the next second.


    Quan Zhisui was actually doing problems now?!


    Such a big thing just happened and the whole ss was quiet, but not only was she not paying attention, she was doing problems here?!


    Kong Mingze: "...Thick-skinned."


    Zhuge Ying: "Indeed."


    Kong Mingze thought for a while and said softly: "Quan Zhisui, why don''t you go try to persuade him?"


    Quan Zhisui looked up nkly: "Persuade who? Persuade what?"


    Zhuge Ying was at a loss for words all at once.


    Kong Mingze stared with wide eyes: "Persuade Wei Shixu! Persuade him to..."


    Uh, persuade him to do what? How should she persuade him?


    Quan Zhisui looked at Wei Shixu in the front row, and when she looked back at Kong Mingze her expression was even more confused: "Persuade him to do what? Persuade him what? He''s fine."


    Kong Mingze: "???"


    Zhuge Ying suddenly asked: "What if he acted like this towards you?"


    Quan Zhisui didn''t even lift her head this time: "Then of course I''d beat him up! He can''t beat me anyway."


    Kong Mingze felt like the gates to a new world had opened: "You really make a lot of sense!"


    Zhuge Ying: "Incredible."


    ...


    Zhou Chun stayed in the small cubicle of the girls'' bathroom for the entire afternoon. Her eyes were swollen from crying, and she had a breakdown for a long time.


    She couldn''t understand why Wei Shixu would treat her like this. His whole demeanor was like he had gone crazy, hating her so much he seemed to want to kill her.


    No. His eyes at the time definitely had that intention.


    Zhou Chun cried until she couldn''t breathe. Does he hate her that much? Just because she pulled his clothes a little?


    This was too much!


    Also, the photo she took was so important!


    Quan Zhisui was always hanging out with delinquents, and even went shopping and hot potting with Zuo Zichen. Maybe the two were already together.


    Didn''t Wei Shixu care?!

 Chapter 34: What do You Care

    <h4>Chapter 34</h4>


    Knowing that Zhisui made up her mind not to take a noon break anymore after today, so that she could make full use of her time since there were still so many knowledge points she hadn''t learned yet.


    Wei Shixu and Kong Mingze went out again during lunch break as usual.


    When the lunch break ended, Zhisui put down her pen in hand, she almost got numb from so much studying.


    The content of Grade 11 is so difficult!


    The ssmates who took noon break in the ssroom gradually woke up one by one, yawning and getting ready for the afternoon sses.


    Wei Shixu and Kong Mingze also showed up in the hallway.


    Wei Shixu took off his school uniform and was now wearing a ck military coat. He zipped it all the way up with the cor covering a bit of his chin.


    He was expressionless, walking ahead with a indifferent look.


    Kong Mingze kept chattering about something beside his ear, seeming to be persuading him about what happened during lunch.


    Zhisui averted her gaze, thinking to herself that Wei Shixu''s bad temper surested long!


    At the window of ss 3.


    Zhou Chun, who had cried for a whole noon, was now back in the ssroom sitting by the window. She saw with her own eyes as Wei Shixu walked past her.


    The high cor and nice military coat, the bangs swaying as he walked.


    His gaze was indifferent, he didn''t even nce to the side.


    So handsome!


    Even after what happened, Zhou Chun''s heart still skipped a beat!


    Wei Shixu, he really is...


    Very handsome!


    His outstanding looks could make Zhou Chun ignore what happened today.


    Zhou Chun admitted that she waspletely infatuated. She thought, maybe she didn''t understand him well enough, it''s fine, there is still time to get to know him slowly, nobody''s perfect, Wei Shixu has such a good family background and is so excellent, having a bit of a weird temper isn''t a big deal.


    After the two of them walked past, she took out her phone and started messaging Wei Shixu.


    [Zhou Chun: I''m sorry about what happened during lunch, I didn''t expect you to react so strongly.]


    The message sank to the bottom of the sea with no response.


    At this time, Wei Shixu and Kong Mingze had already entered the ssroom.


    Kong Mingze patted him on the shoulder, "Alright, I''ll go to the back."


    Wei Shixu responded lightly. He took out his phone, nced at it, then put it back in his pocket.


    Zhou Chun stared at her screen and waited a while longer, still no reaction, so she sent another message.


    [Zhou Chun: I just wanted you to see Zhisui''s true colors.]


    This time, a red exmation mark appeared next to the message she sent out.


    Wei Shixu blocked her.


    Zhou Chun was at a loss, she couldn''t believe her eyes!


    Blocked?!


    How could he block her!


    What about the Model UN during winter break? Wouldn''t he team up with her anymore? But they were representing Liangzhong Middle School to participate together!


    Zhou Chun panicked, she didn''t understand what Wei Shixu meant.


    Did he want to participate in the Model UN on his own, bypassing Liangzhong? Of course that was possible too.


    It''s just that the teacher would surely try to persuade him, if they won an award, it would be a great honor and achievement for the resume, Liangzhong needed this award badly.


    Plus, it could give bonus points for the college entrance exams!


    But if Wei Shixu insisted on participating in the Model UN alone, with his family background...


    The school would not put pressure.


    Then what about her?


    The more Zhou Chun thought about it, the more flustered she became!


    Wei Shixu was very strong, he was the one most participants were wary of. Without him as a teammate, the difficulty for Zhou Chun to win an award would increase exponentially.


    From teammate to formidable opponent?!


    Zhou Chun almost jumped up on the spot, wanting to go to ss 1 and ask Wei Shixu to rify.


    But at this moment the bell for afternoon sses rang, she could only sit back down.


    The afternoon sses for ss 3 were changed to quizzes, testing two subjects andsting the whole afternoon!


    Zhou Chun couldn''t concentrate on the exams at all.


    ...


    In the afternoon sses, Zhisui worked hard to catch up. Although she still couldn''t understand the lectures, she took notes meticulously as usual.


    Beside her, Kong Mingze slept through the afternoon as per normal.


    After school, Zhuge Ying walked over, "Zhisui, shall we go together?"


    Zhisui was still packing up her things, "I''ll be right there."


    Zhuge Ying said unhurriedly, "No rush, how''s your studying of the Grade 11 content going?"


    "I don''t get it, I''ll go over it slowly at home." After speaking, Zhisui hefted up therge pile of test papers and textbooks in her arms.


    Those books and papers were really a lot, stacked higher than her head, and she supported them with both arms.


    It looked very heavy!


    Zhuge Ying was shocked and flustered, wanting to step forward to help.


    Zhisui said, "No need, no need, it looks like a lot but isn''t heavy."


    Zhuge Ying: "..."


    As if she hadn''t carried books before?


    This isn''t heavy?!


    Kong Mingze yawned and stretched after waking up from his nap. He was just about to go find Wei Shixu to have dinner together, when he turned his head and saw Zhisui walking by carrying books and papers that were half her height.


    Kong Mingze: "Did I get up in the wrong century again?!"


    Zhisui declined Zhuge Ying''s offer to help, but couldn''t decline the enthusiastic Kong Mingze.


    He really has a kind heart! He snatched them over and dashed off!


    At the same time, Wei Shixu walked out of the ssroom, still with that indifferent expression, even a bit cold. He hadn''t spoken all afternoon, and showed no reaction seeing this scene.


    Kong Mingze shouted to him as he ran, "I''m going to help Zhisui carry some books thene find you for dinner!"


    "Okay." Wei Shixu responded, and headed to the cafeteria first.


    Right after ss 3''s exam ended, Zhou Chun hurriedly packed up and went out. She happened to see Wei Shixu passing by the door.


    "Wei Shixu..." Zhou Chun called out, but her voice was drowned out by a loud yell.


    "Make way! Make way! Can''t see anyone!" Kong Mingze charged over holding a huge stack of books, shouting as he ran.


    People all around made way for him.


    Kong Mingze kept shouting, "So damn heavy! It''s killing me!"


    Zhisui''s voice rang out behind him, "I already said I can carry them myself, they really aren''t that heavy."


    She was stronger than Kong Mingze.


    In the end, Kong Mingze gave up on helping. All sweaty, he handed the stack of books over to Zhisui''s hands.


    At this moment.


    Zhou Chun''s discontent voice sounded from the side, "How long more are you guys going to block the way? Are you done or not!"


    Kong Mingze nced at her, "There''s still space here, isn''t there?"


    Zhou Chun: "You''re blocking it!"


    Blocking her from finding Wei Shixu. She really didn''t know what was up with these people, nothing good ever happened whenever she ran into them.


    Kong Mingze squeezed to the side a little, "Is this enough space for two people?"


    Zhou Chun: "What about the other students? There''s so many people trying to get through, can you please make way?"


    Kong Mingze: "Oh."


    Zhou Chun red at Kong Mingze one more time, then stomped down the stairs. But where was Wei Shixu''s shadow now?


    She disliked Kong Mingze even more. She had always disliked Kong Mingze from the start!


    Zhuge Ying didn''t say anything the whole time. Usually when she ran into Zhou Chun she would greet her, but this time she didn''t even bother sparing a nce.


    In the past, Zhuge Ying disliked Wei Shixu just like how Zhou Chun disliked Kong Mingze, but after the dangerous incidentst Friday, Zhuge Ying no longer disliked Wei Shixu.


    Wei Shixu had been so normal during lunch today, just quiet, and was especially gentle towards Zhisui.


    Yet when Zhou Chun looked for him...


    There! Wei Shixu became that moody and unpredictable guy again!


    "Does she dislike me?" Kong Mingze came to a bted realization.


    Zhuge Ying: "Yes!"


    Kong Mingze felt a little hurt, "Why, I didn''t provoke her."


    Zhuge Ying: "Who cares about her!"


    Zhisui stuck out a head from behind the pile of books and papers she was holding, "Let''s go? I said they aren''t heavy but not exactly light either!"


    Zhuge Ying quickly shook off her emotions, "I''ll lead the way, we''ll be fine once we get out of school right?"


    Zhisui: "Okay, my driver ising to pick me up."

 Chapter 35: People who live and Die don’t care.

    <h4>Chapter 35</h4>


    After Kong Mingze parted ways with Quan Zhisui, he headed straight for the canteen and quickly found Wei Shixu in a corner.


    Wei Shixu''s face looked a little pale: "That was fast."


    Kong Mingze: "I really couldn''t move it myself. I''ll just let Quan Zhisui move it herself, she''s really strong!"


    Thinking of Quan Zhisui''s strength, Wei Shixu couldn''t help butugh a little, though his smile was faint.


    Kong Mingze: "How are you feeling? Still ufortable?"


    Wei Shixu: "Stomachache."


    Kong Mingze quickly took out medicine and a thermos: "Take your medicine."


    Wei Shixu: "You''re silly, this medicine is meant to be taken after meals."


    Kong Mingze: "Oh right, then I''ll go get us food. Want a big chicken leg?"


    Wei Shixu gave him a look: "Bro, my stomach hurts... I''ll have congee."


    Kong Mingze: "Oh right, I''ll go buy you congee. That''s why I keep telling you not to get so angry all the time. Every time you get angry your stomach hurts, and every bout of painsts a whole day..."


    Wei Shixu cut him off: "Are you going or not?"


    "Going going going! Right away! Wait for me!" Kong Mingze shouted as he ran off.


    To make sure Wei Shixu could drink the congee sooner, he paid extra to cut in line. Then he brought back two dinner trays to their spot.


    He pushed the congee in front of Wei Shixu, then showed off his own tray: "You drink congee, I''ll eat the big chicken leg."


    Wei Shixu: "Thanks, I appreciate it."


    Kong Mingze: "No need to thank me, just eat, don''t talk."


    Wei Shixu sighed, making friends with a fool is so tiring.


    Oblivious, Kong Mingze ate with relish. Casually he asked, "Your stomach''s been bad so many years and never got better. Should we try a different hospital? Can''t they cure itpletely?"


    Wei Shixu: "They''re working on it."


    Kong Mingze: "Going for acupuncture every noon isn''t a long term solution either."


    Wei Shixu frowned: "Liangxi''s traditional medicine...has lost some of its heritage."


    Kong Mingze: "It''s because you ate recklessly and brought trouble on yourself. The moment you feel a little better you go back to eating random junk."


    Just as the two wanted to continue talking, Zhou Chun appeared with a schoolbag on her back.


    She searched all over before finding Wei Shixu sitting in a corner. She didn''t expect Kong Mingze to be there too. Zhou Chun''s expression immediately soured.


    "Wei Shixu, I need to talk to you," she said.


    Wei Shixu kept his head down drinking congee, showing no intention of acknowledging her.


    Kong Mingze stood up, blocking Zhou Chun''s line of sight: "Sorry, Wei Shixu is eating right now. Did you need something?"


    Zhou Chun looked at Kong Mingze unhappily: "It''s you again!"


    Kong Mingze''s expression was calm: "Yes, it''s me. I suggest you stop looking for Wei Shixu. You''ve already upset him once today, don''t do it a second time."


    Right now Wei Shixu was not only in a bad mood but also had stomach pain. Who knows how big a temper he''d fly off the handle with if provoked again, then his stomach would hurt more¡ªa vicious cycle.


    No matter what, Kong Mingze wouldn''t let Zhou Chun go bother Wei Shixu.


    Zhou Chun''s anger red up at once: "Kong Mingze! Who do you think you are, on what grounds do you stop me from seeing Wei Shixu? I''m looking for him, not you!"


    Kong Mingze didn''t speak, just continued blocking her way.


    Zhou Chun: "You''re nothing. Your grades are so bad too. You''re from two different worlds! You have no right to make decisions for him!"


    Kong Mingze nodded: "That''s true."


    By now Wei Shixu had finished his congee. He took his medicine and thermos and left without a word to anyone.


    Zhou Chun still wanted to chase after him, but Kong Mingze deftly blocked her again.


    "Kong Mingze!!" Zhou Chun shouted angrily. "Let me through! What gives you the right to stand in my way?"


    Kong Mingze: "Yeah, I have no right, but you have even less right."


    With that, he sat back down to continue eating.


    Zhou Chun stormed off in anger!


    But after searching the school and failing to find Wei Shixu, she went back to the dorm. She couldn''t get into the boys'' dorm.


    Who has the right to control Wei Shixu?


    The thought made Kong Mingze want tough!


    Ever since Wei Shixu was kidnapped at age 10, escaped on his own in an unfamiliar city full of his family''s enemies, with no phone or map, going days hungry and walking all the way back to Liangxi Town alone through the wilderness...


    From that point on, no one in the world had the right to control him, not even his own parents.


    That incident was also the root of his chronic stomach problems.


    He nearly died!


    Someone who has stared death in the face cares about nothing anymore.


    -----------------


    Quan Zhisui carried a huge stack of books back to the Zuo family home. As soon as she stepped through the door she ran into Zuo Zichening downstairs for dinner.


    Zuo Zichen was shocked: "Sis, sis! So many books! Let me help you move them!"


    Quan Zhisui looked at his arm still in a cast: "Are you sure?"


    Zuo Zichen shook his head: "Not sure."


    Quan Zhisui jerked her chin: "Help me call the elevator."


    "Oh, oh!" Zuo Zichen hurried to press the elevator button. On the second floor he fawned over her again, opening the door to her room.


    This was Quan Zhisui''s first time riding the Zuo family elevator. It was a four-story house with two basement levels, so an elevator was indeed necessary.


    Having an elevator makes moving stuff so convenient!


    Zuo Zhongchen and Xu Zhiyi had slipped away somewhere. The two elders were still soaking in the hot springs at the resort, so it was just Quan Zhisui and Zuo Zichen eating dinner together tonight.


    Quan Zhisui had nothing to say, just ate with her head down.


    Zuo Zichen wanted to say something to ease the tension between them but didn''t dare speak much. He was nervous the whole time.


    When they were almost done eating, Quan Zhisui suddenly asked, "What did you do all day today?"


    Zuo Zichen reflexively answered, "yed games."


    Quan Zhisui: "yed games all day?"


    Zuo Zichen nodded: "Yeah, and when I have money I''ll buy sis a top of the line PC set too. Those games are so fun."


    Quan Zhisui: "I don''t y games, I study."


    Zuo Zichen: "Oh, okay."


    Quan Zhisui: "I want to switch rooms with you."


    The feng shui of your room is better for studying and pursuing a career. You ying games in there all day is a waste!


    Zuo Zichen miserably nodded: "Okay."


    The siblings switching rooms caused another spectacle among the family''s domestic staff. The young miss was finally making a move on the main bedroom on the second floor!


    Gu Lan was the housekeeper, busy with moving things out and tidying up.


    With a forced smile, Zuo Zichen moved his top of the line PC and gaming setup into the smaller adjoining bedroom. Looking at the pink bedroom, he was on the verge of tears.


    Quan Zhisui was quite happy. She would put a desk in the schrly feng shui spot and strive diligently!


    Zuo Zichen didn''t take everything either. He had too much stuff. Some unopened items he simply left for Quan Zhisui to use.


    He made sure to exin: "Sis, these earplugs are really good, ites with a smaller size; and these headphones, they were a limited edition, I bought both colors - this new set is for you to listen to music. I also have a new ultrathinptop, and this gaming mouse is the newest model, super lightweight..."


    Mostly electronic gadgets, no wonder he''s addicted to the inte.


    Quan Zhisui epted it all and patted him on the shoulder: "Kid, you''re pretty thoughtful."


    Zuo Zichen smiled awkwardly: "It''s my honor if sis likes using my stuff."


    Quan Zhisui: "No need to be so self-deprecating."


    Zuo Zichen: "Serving sis will be my life''s purpose."


    Quan Zhisui: "Zip that rainbow mouth and get out."


    Zuo Zichen: "Yes sis."

 Chapter 36: Sleep Soundly

    <h4>Chapter 36</h4>


    The next day, Zuo Zichen went to school as usual with Quan Zhisui.


    But he still wanted to save face and did not want others to know he had a half-sister, so every day he got off the car at the corner and walked into school ahead of time. After school, he would run to the corner and wait.


    That Bentley was like Quan Zhisui''s exclusive car. It picked her up and dropped her off without anything to do with Zuo Zichen.


    Quan Zhisui was also well-behaved, spending her days practicing martial arts and studying.


    This week quickly passed halfway.


    On Wednesday night, Zuo Zhiyu and Xu Zhiyi came back. The two elders were still traveling outside, with Xu Kuang following them the whole time.


    The husband and wife did not dare to make a big fuss about their return, for fear that if Quan Zhisui found out, she would knock on their door again the next day.


    Xu Zhiyi missed her son, so she still called her son to the study on the third floor and the family of three briefly chatted.


    The superficial wounds on Zuo Zichen''s body had faded away. Apart from the cast on his hand, there were no visible wounds anywhere else.


    Zuo Zhiyu waspletely unaware that his son had almost been beaten to death.


    Second floor.


    Quan Zhisui was doing homework until 10 pm. Her phone vibrated once in between when Fang Yue sent her a message, which was also withdrawn two minutes after sending.


    She already knew that Zuo Zhiyu and Xu Zhiyi woulde back today.


    Hee hee!


    The door smashing project can continue tomorrow morning!


    ...


    Late at night, third floor study.


    Zuo Zhiyu was about to go to bed. These days, he rarely had a good night''s sleep. He came back and Quan Zhisui didn''t know about it, so tonight would be another good sleep.


    He was just worried about tomorrow and the day after... His return could not be kept secret for long!


    At this time, Xu Zhiyi put down her wine ss, her eyes flickering: "Dear, I have an idea."


    Zuo Zhiyu was a little impatient: "What idea do you have sote at night?"


    After more than ten years of marriage, he had long lost interest in Xu Zhiyi. Letting her stay in the position of Mrs. Zuo was only because she gave birth to a son for the Zuo family.


    What Zuo Zhiyu was thinking about now were those young women outside.


    Xu Zhiyi was a little excited: "I was thinking, Zhisui gets up early every day, so she must go to bed early too, right?"


    Zuo Zhiyu still didn''t understand, frowning and asking, "So what do you mean?"


    Xu Zhiyi: "Is she asleep now? Shouldn''t we, as parents, go say goodnight to our daughter?!"


    Zuo Zhiyu''s eyes lit up.


    Xu Zhiyi became more excited: "Dear! Zhisui is so well-behaved and sensible. She says good morning to us every day, so we should say goodnight to her too!"


    Zuo Zhiyu: "You''re right."


    Xu Zhiyi stood up: "Then let''s go now?"


    Zuo Zhiyu smiled: "You go. After all, you are her stepmother. As a mother, you should care more about your daughter."


    He certainly wasn''t going to go. He couldn''t be the bad guy in front of Quan Zhisui.


    Xu Zhiyi''s eyes were almost shining with excitement!


    She was excited not only because she came up with this brilliant idea, but also because of Zuo Zhiyu''s attitude.


    Zuo Zhiyu obviously had issues with Quan Zhisui, and even seemed to dislike her for some reason. He just didn''t openly sh with Quan Zhisui on the surface and indulged her endlessly.


    Discovering this, Xu Zhiyi immediately had more ideas. That meant she could target Quan Zhisui, even torment her, as long as it wasn''t in front of Zuo Zhiyu.


    And Zuo Zhiyu would support her doing this! Even if Quan Zhisui tattled afterwards, he would surely gloss things over!


    Looking at the time now, 2 am.


    Quan Zhisui must be fast asleep!


    Thinking of this, Xu Zhiyi was almostughing with excitement!


    She immediately put on a coat and went downstairs.


    Second floor guest bedroom suite.


    Zuo Zichen went to bed to sleep at 12 after finishing his game, curled up in the pink bedroom bed, sleeping soundly and even dreaming.


    He dreamed that a woman ghost in a red dress was knocking on the door!


    So scary!


    Zuo Zichen fearfully started kicking his legs, trying to escape.


    Knock knock! Knock knock knock--


    The sound of knocking continued ceaselessly, again and again, like a death knell.


    "Ah!!!"


    Zuo Zichen was finally startled awake. He sat up with a scream, then realized someone was knocking on his door.


    Knocking nonstop.


    Someone really was knocking on the door!


    So it was just a dream!


    After waking up a bit, Zuo Zichen let out a sigh of relief, but was also somewhat irritated. He quickly turned on the light, got out of bed and opened the door.


    If it was his sister, he could only swallow this irritation...


    But when he opened the door, he saw his mom standing there in a red nightgown!


    Zuo Zichen exploded at once: "Mom! Are you crazy?!"


    Xu Zhiyi was still posed to knock on the door, her previously excited expression on her face instantly stiffening.


    She shrieked: "Zichen?! What are you doing here?!"


    Zuo Zichen was furious: "What am I doing here? I''m fucking sleeping here! Damn it!!"


    Xu Zhiyi violently pushed him aside and went into the bedroom to look around: "Isn''t this Zhisui''s room? Where''s Zhisui?!"


    Zuo Zichen, also angry, pushed her back: "We changed rooms! Get out, I''m going to sleep! Are you insane, knocking sote at night?!"


    Xu Zhiyi was pushed out by her son, watching as her precious son mmed the door shut heavily.


    She was furious too!


    They changed rooms?


    Quan Zhisui had actually switched rooms with Zuo Zichen, she had snatched Zuo Zichen''s big bedroom?!


    That was the master bedroom she had personally supervised the renovation for her son, decorating it bit by bit for her son, and even specially hiring a Feng Shui master to assess it!


    Quan Zhisui just came and snatched it away?!


    Xu Zhiyi marched to the door of the second floor master bedroom, anger surging, and started pounding on the door.


    Just knocking on the door was not enough to vent her anger. Soon, Xu Zhiyi started mming on the door, just as hard as Quan Zhisui had mmed on the third floor door that day.


    But she was not as strong as Quan Zhisui, and could not m hard enough. In her fury, she started kicking it.


    Bang! Bang bang bang!


    The sound of kicking was huge, even Zuo Zhiyu on the third floor could hear it.


    Zuo Zhiyu stood at the top of the stairs listening to themotion, stubbornly resisting his curiosity and not going down to take a look.


    After kicking for a long time and still not kicking the door open, Xu Zhiyi failed to get Quan Zhisui to open the door, but did wake up Zuo Zichen next door.


    Zuo Zichen''s face waspletely gloomy as he strode over and stared at his own birth mother.


    "Are you mentally ill? Do you need to see a doctor?"


    At this moment, he really felt his mother was sick!


    Xu Zhiyi was very upset, but she saw her son was about to explode with anger, so she could only appease him first: "Zichen, don''t be angry. Mom just has something to discuss with your sister."


    "What earth-shattering thing do you have to discuss at 2 am in the morning?! Has the sky fallen down or is there an earthquake?! Don''t keep pounding on the door either, you might as well tear down the whole house! Everyone on all four floors can hear it!" Zuo Zichen nearly shouted.


    Xu Zhiyi''s face was extremely ugly. She started lecturing him: "Zichen, how can you talk to your mother like this?"


    Zuo Zichen: "I don''t have a mother this crazy!"


    After saying that, he turned around and went back to the next door guest suite, locking both the living room and bedroom doors.


    Xu Zhiyi felt very frustrated. She didn''t understand how she could create such a bigmotion but fail to wake up Quan Zhisui, yet disturb her precious son twice.


    And make her son dislike her!


    In the bedroom.


    Quan Zhisui wore the noise-canceling earplugs Zuo Zichen had given her, lying on the ergonomic high-tech bed,fortably turning over.


    Sleeping soundly! She didn''t wake up at all!

 Chapter 37: He has a nice voice.

    <h4>Chapter 37</h4>


    The next morning, sunny.


    Zuo Zhiyu already knewst night before going to bed that things were over, not only did he fail to get revenge on Quan Zhisui, but also let his return be exposed.


    This Xu Zhiyi woman is really good at nothing but causing trouble!


    Zuo Zhiyu scolded Xu Zhiyi bitterly that night, but didn''t forget to set the rm clock. He would rather be woken up by the rm clock than be scared awake by the sound of Quan Zhisui banging on the door.


    Xu Zhiyi cried until dawn before falling asleep, and had nightmares the whole time during the two hours she slept.


    When the familiar knock on the door sounded, both of them crawled up with a crying face, took a deep breath behind the door, and forcibly propped up a smile.


    After opening the door, they saw two faces.


    Quan Zhisui was radiant: "Good morning!"


    Zuo Zichen was gloomy: "Good morning."


    Zuo Zhiyu was stunned. Why did his son appear here? What morning is he talking about?


    Xu Zhiyi''s spirit was almost driven abnormal. Seeing her baby''s son''s expression, she suddenly felt extremely bad emotionally.


    Quan Zhisui, seeing that neither of them greeted her, changed her face in a second. She sunk her breath into her dantian, and her voice was deafening: "What''s going on! Good morning?!"


    She was actually furious, and even scolded them!


    Her roar made the ceilingmp tremble!


    Zuo Zhiyu was shocked by this, and quickly said, "Good morning, Zhisui."


    He was almost mentally ill too.


    Xu Zhiyi showed a smile uglier than crying, and said lifelessly, "Good morning, Zhisui, good morning."


    The two thought it was over with this, but Zuo Zichen started.


    He was still gloomy, and his voice was not small: "What about me?!"


    Zuo Zhiyu: "......"


    He''s crazy! He''s going crazy!


    Why did his son be like this too!


    Xu Zhiyi finally couldn''t stand it. She squatted on the ground and started crying, while crying, she reflexively responded: "Good morning! Woo woo woo! Good morning Zhisui!"


    Zuo Zichen angrily shouted: "You got the wrong person! I''m Zuo Zichen! Knocking on the wrong door is one thing, you can''t even get your own son''s name right?!"


    He wasn''t pretending to be angry, he had been angry sincest night.


    Do you know how scary and infuriating it is to have a nightmare about a female ghost knocking on the door and finding out it''s your own mother?!


    Xu Zhiyi: "Woo woo woo! Good morning, Zichen!"


    Zuo Zhiyu: "......"


    After messing with the minds of the couple, making one wooden and one crying, the siblings finally let them go and went downstairs to take the car to school.


    In the car.


    Zuo Zichen was still irritable. He didn''t sleep well at allst night. He was almost falling asleep now, but still had to go to this damn school!


    Why doesn''t the school explode?


    Quan Zhisui''s mood was the opposite of his. She even started toe up with bad ideas: "Sigh, knock on random doors in the future, you go."


    Zuo Zichen: "Ah?"


    Quan Zhisui: "Listen to mymand, when I tell you to go, you go."


    She didn''t have to go there every day. She was also annoyed to see those two. Letting Zuo Zichen go alone from time to time, catching them off guard without any pattern.


    Zuo Zichen: "Oh, okay."


    He didn''t ask why, just did as he was told. Disobedience would get him beaten half to death.


    Looking at Zuo Zichen who didn''t resist or talk back, Quan Zhisui thought that this little brother was quite pleasing to the eye for the first time.


    Following his sister, his sister would stir up a storm in the Zuo family!


    ......


    Zhao Lin drove to a corner near the school and stopped by the roadside. He was familiar with this ce, always this corner.


    When Zuo Zichen got out of the car, he waved to Quan Zhisui: "See you tonight!"


    Quan Zhisui nodded at him: "See you tonight."


    The vehicle restarted, and Zuo Zichen also walked forward.


    No one noticed that in the breakfast shop next door, Zhou Chun was recording a high definition video with his phone, and the sound was also recorded.


    ......


    After several days of cramming, Quan Zhisui was able to catch up with some progress. She was finally no longer in the dark. Her studies began to take shape. Before this, she didn''t even know where to start asking her ssmates.


    When she came to the ssroom, Quan Zhisui took the notes she had organized yesterday to find Zhuge Ying.


    Zhuge Ying was very surprised: "You''re so efficient? These are all the parts you don''t understand?"


    Quan Zhisui nodded: "Yeah, I haven''t finished organizing everything yet. This is a collection of difficult problems in high school mathematics semester 1. Just one subject, there are still other subjects and semester 2 math content that I haven''t started on yet."


    Zhuge Ying was amazed again: "Zhisui, were you a top student before? It''s only been a few days!"


    She felt more and more that Quan Zhisui only did poorly because she hadn''t studied before. If she really started learning, she''d be faster than anyone else!


    At this moment, Kong Mingze ran over to join the fun when he heard their conversation after walking into the ssroom: "What top student? School bully? Quan Zhisui is the school bully?"


    Zhuge Ying rolled her eyes: "Top student!"


    Kong Mingze: "That''s impossible. Her scores are as low as mine, right? School bully makes more sense. Ever since the battle between the five in freshman year, the whole school knows, a transfer student came in sophomore year who can really fight!"


    Wei Shixu didn''t wear hisbat uniform again today. His new school uniform had been tailored and he was already wearing it.


    Seeing the three gathered together, Wei Shixu walked over: "Discussing fighting?"


    Wei Shixu was normal today. Zhuge Ying smiled at him unusually: "Discussing studying!"


    Kong Mingze: "Discussing Quan Zhisui is the school bully!"


    Wei Shixu''s cold gaze swept across Quan Zhisui''s face, but his hand reached out and took the notes on the table: "I''ll teach you."


    His voice was quite nice, only in his normal state.


    Speaking happened to be close to Quan Zhisui''s ear, making her ears somewhat numb.


    Zhuge Ying didn''t have time to stop him before the notebook was already in Wei Shixu''s hands.


    Zhuge Ying protested: "She asked me!"


    Wei Shixu: "I''m better at sequences than you."


    Zhuge Ying''s expression cracked. This was simply a provocation against her, but she had nothing to say.


    The big fool Kong Mingze didn''t notice anything wrong with the atmosphere. He bumped Quan Zhisui''s shoulder with his hand: "Wei Shixu''s grades have always been first in the grade. He almost always gets full marks in math. With him teaching you, you''re lucky!"


    Quan Zhisui remained silent on the spot. She didn''t really want Wei Shixu to teach her. This guy was abnormal. She preferred to discuss with Zhuge Ying.


    But she had to admit that Wei Shixu''s grades were too good!


    His solutions were direct and efficient, far more advanced than what teachers taught.


    Before Quan Zhisui could speak, Wei Shixu took the notes in one hand, and grabbed her sleeve with the other, pulling her to his seat without asking.


    "Come over, I''ll go over the questions with you." His voice was nice again.


    In the end, Quan Zhisui still followed him over.


    Zhuge Ying watched as the two walked away, watching her good friend being taken away by Wei Shixu, using an irrefutable reason.


    She started raging internally!


    Kong Mingze happily put a bag of stuff on Zhuge Ying''s desk: "ss monitor, no fruit juice or milk tea today, drink mung bean soup!"


    Zhuge Ying red at him: "Take out your homework."


    Kong Mingze: "Huh? Why? I didn''t write anything for that homework, what do you want the nk homework for?"


    Zhuge Ying: "I''m going to go over the questions with you!"


    Kong Mingze,pletely confused: "???"

 Chapter 38: Closer Together

    <h4>Chapter 38</h4>


    Things have not been peaceful on the third floor of the Zuo Family recently.


    Quan Zhisui has beening over sometimes with Zuo Zichen, and sometimes alone, without any discernible pattern.


    Zuo Zhiyu and Xu Zhiyi have either prepared themselves to encounter Zuo Zichen, or were caught unprepared by Quan Zhisui.


    The two of them are nearly being driven mad!


    Quan Zhisui''s days have actually been going quite well. She learns things step-by-step, and asks questions whenever she has time.


    The school sports meet preparations are in full swing, and Zhuge Ying and the ss cadres are very busy, so all of Quan Zhisui''s questions have been thrown to Wei Shixu, increasing their daily interactions significantly.


    She wrote extremely smoothly on the Monday quiz!


    Teachers'' office at Liangzhong Middle School.


    Zhou Chun was called over by the ss teacher to have a talk at noon.


    "Zhou Chun, your grades have always been among the top of the grade. I thought the slip up on thest quiz was a fluke so I didn''t call you out, but how could you have scored so poorly on this one as well? You''ve dropped more than twenty ces!" The ss teacher spoke with gravity.


    "Teacher... I haven''t been feeling well recently." Zhou Chun said.


    The teacher sighed, "The teachers who teach you say that you''ve been absent-minded in ss these past few days. What on earth is going on?"


    Zhou Chun pursed her lips, her eyes turning red as she lowered her head.


    The teacher felt a little bad about being too harsh with his words, "The teacher is worried about you too. If you''re not feeling well or if something is going on at home, you can tell me and I will help you."


    Zhou Chun nodded, "Mm, I understand teacher."


    The teacher patted her shoulder, "Alright, think it over yourself first and head back to the ssroom."


    Zhou Chun wiped her tears and turned to leave.


    "Reporting in!"


    At this moment, Zhuge Ying just happened to walk in, carrying a cardboard box in her hands.


    Qian Yachong of ss 1 waved her over, "Zhuge Ying, perfect timing! Take the math quiz papers from this morning and hand them back out."


    "Sure." Zhuge Ying ignored Zhou Chun and walked over, "Teacher Qian, the ss gs and uniforms for the sports meet have been prepared. I''ve also used ss funds to buy some first aid supplies."


    "Well done." Qian Ya briefly looked through the box and asked, "I see Quan Zhisui signed up for quite a few events. I hope no one is bullying the new transfer student?"


    Every year, barely anyone from ss 1 was willing to participate in the school sports meet. They had to force a few students to sign up at thest minute. But Quan Zhisui''s name appeared in several columns this time.


    Zhuge Ying exined, "Don''t worry Teacher Qian, Quan Zhisui is very capable!"


    "Speaking of this Quan Zhisui..." Qian Yaughed in amazement, "Her improvement on this quiz was far too great. She went from nearlyst ce to mid-lower rankings in one go, moving up ten spots."


    Zhuge Ying alsoughed, "Actually she''s very smart at studying. She just hadn''t learned the material on thest quiz."


    Qian Ya asked, "I saw that Wei Shixu is tutoring her?"


    The teachers had seen the two sitting together doing problems during breaks more than once.


    Zhuge Ying nodded, "Wei Shixu is very attentive towards transfer students. He tutors her and even treats her to meals and bubble tea."


    She should be sending him gifts next, Zhuge Ying thought to herself.


    Qian Ya raised her eyebrows, "Students should help each other like this. Alright, head back to ss first!"


    Zhuge Ying turned to leave, holding the stack of quizzes.


    Zhou Chun subconsciously avoided her and quickly stepped out of the office.


    Once the students had left, the office immediately broke into lively chatter.


    "Eh, that Wei Shixu kid from your ss will tutor other students? Did I hear wrong?"


    "I was stunned for a moment too. How miraculous."


    "I''ve seen those two sitting together before!"


    "Getting tutored by the top student in the grade, of course her improvement would be fast."


    "A male and female student?"


    "Female!"


    "Haha! Puberty hits!"


    "Didn''t you hear? He even treats her to bubble tea!"


    Qian Ya spoke up to interrupt, "Now now, don''t specte randomly. They''re only kids."


    The other teachers all chuckled knowingly.


    Suddenly someone asked, "Oh? What about Wei Shixu and Zhou Chun? Weren''t those two always participating in the Model UN together? It''s been a few terms already right?"


    Zhou Chun, who had folded back, suddenly felt her heart race!


    She actually hadn''t gone very far and had folded back to eavesdrop by the door. She heard everything. Now that the teachers were talking about her and Wei Shixu, she was extremely nervous all of a sudden.


    She knew the teachers were just gossiping randomly, but she still wanted to know their perspective as adults.


    Unexpectedly, the teachers did not dwell on her and Wei Shixu at all.


    Qian Ya casually said, "Wei Shixu is not participating in Model UN this time."


    The other teachers were not very surprised, just regretful.


    "What a shame, he would definitely have won awards if he went."


    "Whether he goes or not is his own decision. Who dares try to influence his thoughts?"


    "With his family background, he doesn''t need to care about participating inpetitions and such. Getting into a good university is just for face anyway. His grandfather is Wei Jingsan!"


    "Indeed, being a top student is just icing on the cakepared to Wei Shixu''s identity as the eldest grandchild of the Wei family..."


    Zhou Chun''s face was pale white, her heart nearly shattered.


    Not only did Wei Shixu block her, he even directly refused to participate in Model UN?


    She didn''t even know about this!


    No one cared whether she and Wei Shixu were well-matched or not. The teachers gossiped more about Quan Zhisui than her!


    She had dropped twenty some ces on this quiz, while Quan Zhisui improved by ten spots!


    The evil seeds in Zhou Chun''s heart began sprouting. She couldn''t endure it anymore, she didn''t want to keep waiting either.


    ...


    Zhuge Ying returned to the ssroom, hugging the stack of quizzes to hand back out. When she got to Quan Zhisui''s desk, she also pulled out Wei Shixu''s perfect score quiz.


    Wei Shixu happened to be sitting next to Quan Zhisui right now!


    He had even moved Kong Mingze''s stool over!


    Seeing the perfect score, Quan Zhisui was extremely envious, "You got full marks again."


    Wei Shixu turned to look at her, very close, "Does it look nice?"


    Quan Zhisui nodded, "It looks really nice."


    There wasn''t a single extraneous stroke on this quiz. It was simple, clear, neat and tidy. The quiz paper looked so nice that even the teacher was reluctant to mark it up in red.


    Wei Shixu pressed his hand over the quiz and made her look at him, "I''m asking if you think I look nice."


    Quan Zhisui raised her eyes and was met with his deep, profound eyes looking back at her intently. In the dim light, they seemed to contain a gentle glow.


    She was calm, and nodded, "You do look nice too."


    Why else would he be the unanimously acknowledged school hunk?


    Wei Shixu silently looked at her. Her reaction...


    Quan Zhisui had already turned back to the quiz, carefullyparing and taking notes.


    Over these days, she and the normal Wei Shixu truly built a better rtionship. Quan Zhisui could converse with him easily, they were both smart.


    He was also very handsome, with different styles of handsomeness depending on his state.


    People naturally appreciate beauty. They would look more at those with high looks.


    But...


    His gaze was murky, shrouded in gloom. It was full of bloodiness and evil, like an evil ghost crawling out from the deepest dungeon!


    Perhaps he had aplex past, or perhaps he was born this way.


    But so what?


    Quan Zhisui did not like people with chaotic energy fields.


    At some point, Zhuge Ying had looped back around. She tossed the single digit score quizzes onto Kong Mingze''s desk and nced out the corner of her eye at the two sitting shoulder-to-shoulder beside her.


    With a look of disgust, she spoke, "Disgusting."


    Kong Mingze, who had just entered, called out in injury, "I got nine points, how is that disgusting? I used to get zero points! I''ve improved!"


    Zhuge Ying nced at him and walked away.

 Chapter 39: Kwon Ji-Jae is Dating Two Men

    <h4>Chapter 39</h4>


    Quan Zhisui listened very attentively in ss, and she no longer had that confused, listening-to-gibberish feeling she did on the first day. She gradually caught up with the other students'' progress.


    When it was almost time for ss to end, the atmosphere in the ssroom felt a little strange.


    Quan Zhisui felt like many people were sneaking nces at her, their eyes different than usual.


    Kong Mingze was still snoring away. As soon as the bell rang to end ss, hezily stretched and stood up, "Wei Shixu, let''s go eat!"


    Wei Shixu declined him, "You go eat by yourself."


    Kong Mingze didn''t always have to cling to Wei Shixu. When Wei Shixu was in a normal mood, Kong Mingze would go off and do his own thing.


    As usual, Zhuge Ying came to find Quan Zhisui so they could walk out of the ssroom together, side by side.


    Zhuge Ying furrowed her brows and spoke, "Zhisui?"


    Quan Zhisui replied, "Hmm?"


    Zhuge Ying asked vaguely, "What''s going on with Zuo Zichen?"


    Quan Zhisui answered sinctly, "That brat? Nothing much, I beat him up."


    Zhuge Ying let out a sigh of relief, "Good."


    These past few days, Zhao Lin had been diligently driving to pick up and drop off the young miss. After the young miss got in the car, he would drive smoothly towards that corner.


    But at that moment, Quan Zhisui''s phone rang. It was a call from Zuo Zichen.


    His voice was hesitant, "Sis, today I''m going to eat with some friends outside, I won''t be going home with you."


    "Oh," Quan Zhisui didn''t ask anything else before hanging up.


    Zuo Zichen had behaved himself for a few days, but after all, behaving wasn''t in his nature. He had always liked messing around outside, smoking, drinking, and fighting with a bunch of bad friends. Now that his hand was better, he probably couldn''t sit still.


    As long as he didn''t act shamefully in front of her, Quan Zhisui didn''t care what he did.


    Once Quan Zhisui had a goal, she would devote herself fully to achieving it. Right now, her mind waspletely focused on studying. She would go home, eat dinner, then keep studying. She was truly the most hardworking person in the Zuo family.


    Of course, except for studying, the pranks didn''t stop.


    ...


    The next day, as usual, Quan Zhisui brought Zuo Zichen along to knock on the door. But this time, she didn''t go up to the front door, instead standing at the bottom of the stairs directing.


    Today she was using a different tactic.


    Knock knock! Bang!


    Zuo Zichen was like a merciless door-banging machine.


    Zuo Zhiyu quickly opened the door. Seeing it was Zuo Zichen, he rxed and didn''t bother greeting him before trying to close the door and go back to sleep.


    But who knew...


    "Dad!!!" Zuo Zichen suddenly shouted loudly.


    Zuo Zhiyu jerked in fright. When he looked back at Zuo Zichen, his face was full of disbelief.


    Following Quan Zhisui''s instructions, Zuo Zichen started yelling, "Why do you only say good morning to Quan Zhisui and not to me?! Don''t you love me anymore?!"


    Zuo Zhiyu: "..."


    Xu Zhiyi also came over after hearing themotion. She stood at the door, dumbfounded.


    Zuo Zichen angrily roared, "I want a good morning from Dad and Mom too!"


    Zuo Zhiyu was yelled at until his ears were nearly deaf. He hurriedly tried to cate Zuo Zichen, "Good morning, good morning."


    Zuo Zichen whipped his head around to look at Xu Zhiyi.


    Xu Zhiyi: "...Good morning, son."


    They both thought something was wrong with Zuo Zichen''s brain.


    Zuo Zichen actually felt like crying. He felt like he was a puppet being controlled. Wherever Quan Zhisui directed, he had to hit.


    Although he was spoiled at home, he didn''t dare act recklessly either!


    What if his parents cut off his allowance? How would he survive?


    Every morning, the three took turns suffering while only Quan Zhisui was happy.


    ...


    During morning self-study.


    Once again, Quan Zhisui noticed the strange atmosphere in the ssroom. This time, not only were her ssmates sneaking nces at her, they were also whispering to each other.


    What was going on? Was it because she had been walking too close to Wei Shixu these past few days?


    Wei Shixu seemed to be an influential figure in the ss. Just him taking the initiative to say a few words to someone could be gossip, let alone him tutoring Quan Zhisui.


    Rumors had long been flying around the school!


    So Quan Zhisui took out the earplugs Zuo Zichen had given her, blocking out all distractions!


    But as soon as the morning reading ss ended, Zhuge Ying dragged Quan Zhisui to a corner.


    "Zhisui! Quick, tell me what''s going on between you and Zuo Zichen?" She looked flustered, seemingly incredulous.


    Quan Zhisui was confused, "I beat him up, what''s wrong with him? I can still beat him up."


    Zhuge Ying urged, "No, not that! Take out your phone and look at the videos and photos in the ss group!"


    Quan Zhisui took out her silenced phone and tapped open the group chat.


    There were many photos, all high definition.


    There were shots of her and Zuo Zichen walking together from behind, with Zuo Zichen following behind her like a little attendant, holding shopping bags.


    There were also photos of Zuo Zichen riding in the same car as her every day. The photos clearly showed the same car, with the same model and license te number.


    And there was an even more damning video.


    The video showed Zuo Zichen getting out of the car at the roadside. He respectfully said to her, "See you tonight." It also showed her sitting arrogantly in the back row of the car.


    It made Zuo Zichen look like a fawning admirer.


    Quan Zhisui: "Oh..."


    Zhuge Ying looked astonished, "How do you end up going to and from school together with Zuo Zichen every day? How are you even riding in the same car? Isn''t that Zuo Zichen''s family car?"


    It was rare for her to ask so many questions in a row like this.


    Quan Zhisui: "Oh...I thought you knew!"


    Zhuge Ying was going crazy, "Knew what?! Do you even know what''s being spread around the school?!"


    Quan Zhisui: "What''s being spread?"


    Zhuge Ying couldn''t even say it out, she lowered her voice in exasperation, "They''re saying you and Zuo Zichen are living together! Living together!!!"


    Quan Zhisui: "I do live with him, he lives next door to me."


    Zhuge Ying: "???"


    Quan Zhisui: "He''s my half-brother, I thought Kong Mingze would have told you."


    At the time, only Wei Shixu and Kong Mingze were present when she said it. She didn''t expect both of them to be so tight-lipped that they didn''t gossip about a ssmate''s private matters to others.


    How touching.


    Zhuge Ying was dumbfounded. She didn''t expect this to be the case. But she also instantly rxed, patting her chest several times.


    "Fuck! You scared me to death!" She even cursed.


    Quan Zhisui looked at the video and photos again, "Who spread this? How tasteless."


    Zhuge Ying angrily said, "I''ll report this to the teacher for a thorough investigation!"


    ...


    When Quan Zhisui was pulled away by Zhuge Ying, Wei Shixu who was still in the ssroom was also questioned by ssmates.


    "Wei Shixu, did you see the video and photos in the group?"


    "Hurry look, it''s gone viral!"


    "Quan Zhisui walks so close to you every day, but how is she riding Zuo Zichen''s car?"


    "Are you being deceived since you live on campus and don''t know the situation?"


    Wei Shixu looked at them with an amused smile, "Do you think I''m dating Quan Zhisui?"


    They were stunned.


    "Isn''t that right?"


    "You two...seem like it!"


    "But Quan Zhisui is ying both sides, being lovey-dovey with you in ss, then after school riding home with Zuo Zichen. She even said see you tonight. Could they be living together?"


    Wei Shixu smiled meaningfully, "Oh...lovey-dovey..."


    Everyone: "???"


    You''ve got romance on the brain!


    It was hopeless, they couldn''t advise him out of it. Wei Shixu was a willing victim.

 Chapter 40: She’s a Reasonable Person

    <h4>Chapter 40</h4>


    In the corner of the scenic spot behind the school.


    Zuo Zichen and a group of problematic students gathered together, with cigarette butts and instant noodles all over the ground.


    "Did you find out clearly?" Zuo Zichen''s expression was fierce!


    Since yesterday afternoon, someone had been spreading the word about him, discussing his unusual rtionship with Quan Zhisui.


    What exactly was unusual about it?


    When this news reached Zuo Zichen''s ears, it made him very nervous!


    Could it be that someone found out he was Quan Zhisui''s illegitimate half brother?


    He didn''t want anyone to know he was Quan Zhisui''s half brother born to a different mother!


    He didn''t want to admit that his mother was the mistress...


    As soon as Zuo Zichen got off school, he gathered all the brothers together and started investigating. At that time, the rumors had just emerged and they didn''t find out much in that short time.


    But after one night, things started to go wrong.


    Videos, photos, audio recordings...


    flying all over the sky!


    The whole school was discussing it!


    The rtionship between him and Quan Zhisui was also falsely spread as indecent!


    This was even more infuriating than exposing his illegitimate child status!


    How could Zuo Zichen tolerate this?!


    At this time, his five little brothers were also furious.


    "Found it. The source of the videos and photos was Zhou Chun from ss 2 (3) who spread them out."


    "That girl looks quite pretty, obviously a goody-goody girl, didn''t expect her to mess with our Brother Zuo behind the scenes."


    "Daring to spread rumors about our Brother Zuo, we gotta kill her!"


    "..."


    "But Brother Zuo, you''re not really chasing after that Quan Zhisui, are you?" someone suddenly asked.


    Zuo Zichen fiercely flung his cigarette butt at this person: "Are you fucking asking to die?!"


    ............


    Lunch break time came.


    Kong Mingze woke up on time, just about to call Wei Shixu to eat lunch together, when Zhuge Ying took the lead to pull him away, and also dragged Quan Zhisui along.


    "You twoe with me to the office, the teacher is looking for you."


    Kong Mingze panicked immediately: "What''s the matter? I didn''t do anything bad!"


    Zhuge Ying: "No! To praise you!"


    Kong Mingze was pleasantly surprised: "Wow! Really?"


    Zhuge Ying: "Of course, the student who scored zero every time actually did the questions this time!"


    Quan Zhisui: "What about me?"


    Zhuge Ying: "The rumors."


    When she said this, she nced at Kong Mingze and found that thetter did not show any intention to ask more questions, which waspletely contrary to his usual gossipy personality.


    "Aren''t you curious, Kong Mingze?" Zhuge Ying thought about it and still asked.


    Kong Mingze: "Curious about what?"


    Zhuge Ying: "The rumors about Quan Zhisui, they are spreading all over the school."


    Kong Mingze: "Oh, they are false, so what''s there to be curious about."


    Even if he didn''t know the truth, he wouldn''t go chat about these things with people. Quan Zhisui sat just across the aisle from him, how could he not know what kind of person Quan Zhisui was?


    Although he was a stupid fool, after messing around with Wei Shixu for so many years, he gradually understood one thing.


    When looking at something, you can''t just listen to hearsay. The truth and rumors can sometimes bepletely opposite.


    Wei Shixu''s reputation at school was not necessarily very good either, but in Kong Mingze''s heart, Wei Shixu was the best person in the whole world!


    Zhuge Ying smiled slightly, her eyes softening.


    Look! This guy is so reliable!


    She turned to look at Quan Zhisui and coaxed: "Don''t be angry, the school will definitely get to the bottom of this. I already told the teachers first thing about Zuo Zichen being your brother."


    Quan Zhisui: "I''m not angry, but if you find out who took those photos and videos, let me know."


    Zhuge Ying: "...Then what?"


    Quan Zhisui cracked her knuckles: "Then I''ll have a talk with them."


    Zhuge Ying''s mouth twitched: "What a way to have a talk."


    Kong Mingze foolishly nodded on the side: "Yeah, that''s right, always talk things out instead of using violence."


    ............


    There were always a lot of people in the cafeteria. High school students had big appetites, so meal times were always bustling.


    Zhou Chun went to the cafeteria with several female ssmates, chatting as they walked, of course about the explosive gossip.


    "Those photos and videos were so real, I didn''t expect them to be together."


    "I always thought Zuo Zichen was just causing trouble for Quan Zhisui, that they didn''t get along. Who knew he actually wanted to pursue her?"


    "The rich second generation''s way of pursuing someone is really unique."


    "But isn''t it going too far for them to live together already in high school?"


    "Of course it''s going too far! What kind of person is Zuo Zichen? A little punk who chases girls, smokes, drinks, and fights all the time!"


    "Quan Zhisui got together with Zuo Zichen as soon as she transferred here, she''s quite crafty."


    "..."


    Listening to their nonsense chatter, Zhou Chun didn''t say a word, but kept smiling the whole time.


    That''s right, Quan Zhisui was very crafty. On one hand ambiguous with Wei Shixu, on the other hand, going in and out of Zuo Zichen''s luxury cars and home.


    Her grades were so poor, yet in just a few days she cozied up to the two most famous characters at Liang Zhong.


    Zhou Chun''s eyes shed with delighted light. Since Wei Shixu refused to listen to her, she would make Quan Zhisui''s affairs known to everyone, and let the whole school know the transfer student''s true colors!


    She didn''t do anything wrong. Quan Zhisui was a bad student to begin with!


    Zhou Chun thought this way as she got her meal and started looking for a seat. From the corner of her eye, she saw Wei Shixu sitting in the corner.


    Today Wei Shixu was alone.


    Zhou Chun instinctively walked over, but suddenly a foot quickly stretched out and tripped her.


    p!


    Zhou Chun waspletely unprepared and fell straight down!


    Crash!


    She took a big fall, her tray of food flew out, scattering food and dishes all over the ground, also dirtying her school uniform.


    She also fell very hard, her knees hurting badly.


    Zhou Chun''s face instantly turned red!


    How embarrassing, she actually fell down in front of so many people, and spilled all her food.


    She instinctively looked towards Wei Shixu''s direction, but found that he didn''t even nce this way at all, not knowing if he didn''t notice themotion here, or deliberately ignored it.


    Zhou Chun bit her lower lip, trying to get up silently.


    But just then, more shadows appeared in front of her, and several people closed in and surrounded her.


    When Zhou Chun looked up, she saw Zuo Zichen walking towards her.


    His expression was fierce and sinister!


    Zhou Chun was shocked, thinking it was over.


    She had been so careful, could Zuo Zichen have found out?


    But so what if he found out, riding in the same car, shopping together, saying "see you tonight", these were all facts!


    How could he do it but not admit it?


    Moreover, she was a teacher''s pet good student, Zuo Zichen wouldn''t dare do anything to her.


    At this moment, Zhou Chun still had this delusion.


    The five little brothers tightly surrounded her, like a round wall, blocking the view of the other students.


    Zuo Zichen just strode over, reached out, and grabbed Zhou Chun''s hair!


    Her hair was very long, easy to grab.


    "Ah--" Zhou Chun''s screams rang out in the cafeteria hall.


    "Fuck your mom!"


    Zuo Zichen cursed as he dragged Zhou Chun along by the hair. She couldn''t break free at all, her whole body like a mop being dragged.


    Zuo Zichen didn''t care about the spilled tes and food on the ground, he just walked right over it, getting Zhou Chun''s uniform and face all smeared with the dirty food!


    Her face and hair werepletely covered in soup and oil, looking extremely disheveled.

 Chapter 41: A Day Without Uncovering the Roof

    <h4>Chapter 41</h4>


    ¡°Help! Help!¡±


    Zhou Chun panicked and screamed, her eyes full of fear. Her scalp hurt so much, and her knees hurt too. Her school uniform and face were all dirty.


    Most importantly, all these scenes were witnessed by all the students in the school!


    She now realized how outrageously wrong she was. Zuo Zichen was thoroughly a bad student, small gangster, and problem teenager. He didn''t even have a bottom line and had no idea what cherishing jade means. He cared even less about teachers or the school.


    Provoke him, whether male or female, means death!


    The louder Zhou Chun yelled, the heavier Zuo Zichen hit her.


    He pulled her hair and dragged her around, crashing into the tables and chairs in the cafeteria, letting her scream in continuous bumps and knocks.


    Other people in the cafeteria were scared to death, especially those few third-grade girls who came to the cafeteria with Zhou Chun. A thought arose in everyone''s mind.


    How could Zuo Zichen, the focus of public opinion, suddenly find Zhou Chun, who waspletely irrelevant, troublesome?


    Many students stood up, trying to save people, especially many in ss 3 rushed over, leaving their lunch behind.


    "Are you crazy, Zuo Zichen? How dare you touch our ss leader!"


    "You first graders, don''t go too far!"


    "..."


    But Zuo Zichen''s followers were well prepared and came forward to stop them at once.


    "Today my boss Zuo wants to do something, less of your business!"


    "Boss Zuo wants to teach this second grader Zhou Chun a lesson. Whoeveres is useless!"


    "If you have the guts, go find a teacher. Let''s see if you are faster, or my Boss Zuo''s fist is faster!"


    "..."


    They were unscrupulous.


    At this moment, Zuo Zichen looked back at the crowd with a fierce grin, "Oh, she''s a ss leader?"


    Zhou Chun was already scared to death, crying loudly.


    p!


    Zuo Zichen pped her, and half of her face swelled up high, also stopping her screams abruptly.


    "Fxxk!" Zuo Zichen was extremely vicious.


    "I told you to stop screaming! Scream, scream! Are you screaming your soul out?" He cursed angrily.


    The crowd gasped in fright. Many girls didn''t even dare toe forward. They didn''t expect Zuo Zichen to be so rampant and violent!


    Zhou Chun had never been treated like this before in her life.


    At this moment, Zuo Zichen looked at the crowd in the cafeteria, "You seem to have a strong sense of justice, but I beat whoever I want to beat today. None of your business?"


    After saying that, his five followers took turns rushing forward, pushing away those who wanted to step forward.


    Although Zuo Zichen had already taken action and pped twice, the cafeteria was under surveince with so many people after all. He wanted to beat harder, so he had to drag Zhou Chun out to find a corner.


    So he dragged Zhou Chun out all the way.


    Those five followers just followed him, warning others not to mind other people''s business.


    Zhou Chun screamed even more hysterically. Her face was full of oil and red swollen. At this moment, she looked as miserable as a beggar.


    She was so scared!


    When they passed the table in the corner...


    "Wei Shixu! Save me! Wei Shixu!" Zhou Chun desperately shouted at Wei Shixu, the will to survive was strong.


    With Zuo Zichen being so rampant and still having so many followers, ordinary students didn''t dare confront them directly or fight with them.


    But Wei Shixu was different...


    Zhou Chun had overheard the teachers talking and knew the name Wei Jingsan.


    She specially went home to check it. In Liangxi Town, no one dared to offend Wei Jingsan!


    She didn''t expect Wei Shixu to have such a powerful family background. No wonder Zuo Zichen was so rampant but didn''t touch Wei Shixu at all.


    He must be able to save her!


    Zhou Chun shouted desperately, "Wei Shixu! Wei Shixu! We participated in MUN together. Save me! Save me in the name of us being former teammates!"


    This made Zuo Zichen startled and turned to look at the table beside him.


    MUN? What was that?


    But teammates...


    That was quite thought-provoking.


    However, Wei Shixu didn''t even nce this way. He leisurely drank his soup, ate his dishes, and scooped his rice.


    Zuo Zichen sneered and looked down at Zhou Chun, "An ugly thing that doesn''t know the immensity of heaven and earth!"


    Zhou Chun was shocked by Wei Shixu''s cold reaction. Her heartpletely sank in despair.


    How could this be...


    Zuo Zichen¡¯s fingers exerted force and started dragging again!


    "Ah!!!"


    Zhou Chun screamed frantically and struggled desperately.


    She no longer cared about image or face. She just wanted to survive!


    ...


    Homeroom teacher Qian Ya would not dy the students'' lunch time. She simply praised Kong Mingze andforted Quan Zhisui before letting them go eat.


    Zhuge Ying didn''t mention they were half-siblings, only that they were siblings. Like Wei Shixu and Kong Mingze, she didn''t want Quan Zhisui''s privacy to be known to everyone.


    All the teachers in the office knew that Quan Zhisui was Zuo Zichen''s sister after learning they were rtives. Their expressions were shocked to the heavens!


    That meant Quan Zhisui¡¯s family was not simple either?


    After all, she had such a rich rtive!


    So Qian Ya assumed that Quan Zhisui was a child from Zuo Zichen''s rtive''s family. It was normal for them to have different surnames and lookpletely unlike each other.


    A transfer student from another province, staying with rtives, taking the same car, all very normal!


    ...


    When Quan Zhisui and the other two arrived at the cafeteria, it was already chaotic at the front, surrounded by crowds.


    "What''s the situation?" Kong Mingze asked.


    Zhuge Ying said, "I think I heard Zuo Zichen beating someone?"


    Kong Mingze said, "Zuo Zichen is bullying ssmates again?! This guy causes troubles every day!"


    Zhuge Ying looked at Quan Zhisui, "Are you going to do something about it?"


    After all, he was her half-brother.


    "Yes." Quan Zhisui rushed forward and squeezed into the crowd.


    As soon as she got there, she saw Zuo Zichen bullying a girl to an unrecognizable state. The scene wasparable to her previous big outbreak at the Zuo family restaurant.


    The girl was covered in food, her hair dripping with soup and oil.


    Too miserable!


    The scene was really frightening, scaring the surrounding crowd froming forward, leaving arge empty space.


    Only one person sat at a table, and that was Wei Shixu.


    He seemed to see nothing and was just eating there!


    The noisy crowd quieted down instantly when Quan Zhisui appeared.


    Well, not only was the male lead here, the female lead also showed up.


    When Zuo Zichen saw Quan Zhisui, he was startled at first, then quickly avoided eye contact. Although he was teaching Zhou Chun a lesson because of the rumors, he still didn''t want people to know his rtionship with Quan Zhisui.


    His dodging gaze ignited Quan Zhisui''s anger.


    This brother really caused troubles every day if not beaten!

 Chapter 42: Are the five of us part of your play

    <h4>Chapter 42</h4>


    ¡°Are you looking to die?¡±


    As she spoke, Quan Zhisui immediately grabbed the nearest te of food and smashed it into Zuo Zichen¡¯s face!


    Crash!


    A loud noise rang out!


    Zuo Zichen was stunned as food dripped down his face.


    His hand grabbing Zhou Chun''s hair also instinctively let go.


    Wei Shixu, who had been calmly eating, blinked. He watched as the flying te disappeared and nced down at his uniform.


    The meal Quan Zhisui had snatched belonged to him.


    The instant she had grabbed it with immense speed and force, leaves of food were scattered onto Wei Shixu''s cor.


    He brushed them off with his hand.


    Then he turned and sat at an angle, watching the scene unfold.


    Another cry of shock erupted from the crowd, with fear from some, anticipation of drama from others, and shock all around.


    Zuo Zichen hitting Zhou Chun, Quan Zhisui hitting Zuo Zichen?


    What was going on!


    Zuo Zichen was also stunned, looking at Quan Zhisui in disbelief: "Why did you hit me?"


    "Why?" Quan Zhisuiughed angrily, "You''re really shameless!"


    You start bullying ssmates as soon as your hand gets better, hitting girls, making trouble in the cafeteria.


    You still have the nerve to ask why?


    If it wasn''t for her familial kung fu trainingst time, you would have treated her the same way, right?


    As she finished speaking,


    Quan Zhisui lifted Wei Shixu''s tray high overhead and smashed it towards Zuo Zichen''s head again!


    Crash!


    With immense force.


    Zuo Zichen crouched down from the pain, crying out miserably!


    His fiveckeys rushed forward to protect their boss. How dare this Quan Zhisui hit their Brother Zuo?


    But before they got close...


    Quan Zhisui turned with the tray in hand, crashing it down on each of them in turn, one, two, three, four, five!


    Five strikes! All five crouched down just like Zuo Zichen, clutching their heads and grimacing in pain.


    ng!


    Quan Zhisui threw down the tray and scolded: "Apologize!"


    Zuo Zichen hurriedly said while holding his head: "Sorry! Sorry! Sorry!"


    He didn''t know why his sister hit him, so he apologized first.


    "Not to me," Quan Zhisui said, turning back, only to find the girl had left.


    "I was wrong! I was wrong! I was wrong!" Zuo Zichen kept apologizing sincerely.


    His fiveckeys were confused, looking between their Boss Zuo and the intimidating Quan Zhisui.


    Weren''t they supposed to beat up Zhou Chun?


    Why was he now cowering and admitting fault!


    And Boss Zuo...


    Didn''t you say you weren''t pursuing Quan Zhisui? Why are you apologizing and acting like a wimp?


    The five felt this was all too bizarre!


    By now the crowds had started whispering, looking at them curiously and gossipingly.


    Just then, Kong Mingze and Zhuge Ying squeezed through the crowd, equally astonished.


    "What''s going on?"


    "What happened?"


    Wei Shixu startedining: "Quan Zhisui smashed my food and won''t buy me a new one."


    Quan Zhisui''s mouth twitched.


    Kong Mingze was the epitome of justice, immediately saying: "Quan Zhisui, that was wrong of you. How could you smash Wei Shixu''s food?"


    And Wei Shixu has a weak stomach, he can''t miss meals!


    Zhuge Ying didn''t believe things were so simple. She looked around sensing something off, then questioningly at Quan Zhisui.


    Obviously people were fighting here!


    What''s all this about smashed food...


    Quan Zhisui collected herself and took out her meal card, handing it to Wei Shixu: "Sorry, here, go buy yourself another meal."


    She was in the wrong here.


    Wei Shixu pinched a corner of the card, looking at her meaningfully: "Together."


    Quan Zhisui thought about it then nodded: "Alright."


    She had to eat anyway.


    The two walked off side by side, leaving the crowds behind with such meaningful gazes!


    "What''s going on here? Anyone know?"


    "Don''t know, it''s confusing."


    "Let me sum up. Zuo Zichen and Quan Zhisui have something unclear between them. Zhou Chun took and spread gossip videos and photos, so Zuo Zichen beat up Zhou Chun. Then for some reason Quan Zhisui beat up Zuo Zichen. Right?"


    "Right. And in the end Quan Zhisui left to buy food with Wei Shixu. Those two really do have an intimate rtionship as rumored."


    "This is the first time I''ve seen Wei Shixu be so patient with a girl. He only used to have patience for Kong Mingze before."


    "They must be dating right?"


    "Then what about Zuo Zichen? He goes to and from school with her, they share a car, and even meet at night!"


    "Zuo Zichen got beaten up, watching the girl he loves leave with Wei Shixu, silently bearing it?"


    "My brain''s going to explode! What''s the deal with these three?"


    "So bizarre! A love triangle?"


    "Too shocking!"


    "..."


    Zhuge Ying maintained order: "Disperse, everyone disperse."


    She also didn''t know exactly what happened. If Zuo Zichen was beating someone, that should be reported to a teacher. But Quan Zhisui beating Zuo Zichen was just family dispute at most.


    The key was, who was the girl that got beaten?


    Covered in oil and food, Zhuge Ying didn''t recognize her.


    Kong Mingze reacted slowly, only now asking: "Wait, wasn''t there a fight just now?"


    Zhuge Ying: "..."


    She really wanted to roll her eyes!


    ...


    Only after his sister left did Zuo Zichen stand up, gingerly touching his head and sucking in a breath. Damn, that really hurt!


    His fiveckeys looked at him nkly, their eyes full of iprehension.


    "Boss Zuo...she hit you?" one of them asked.


    Zuo Zichen nodded: "Yeah, hurts like hell."


    Another said: "She hit us five too."


    Zuo Zichen kept nodding: "I got hit so of course you''ll get hit, obviously."


    Utter nonsense!


    Yet another spoke: "Boss Zuo, she left with Wei Shixu."


    Zuo Zichen said irritably: "Could I have stopped her? Stop asking!"


    With that, he turned and walked out of the cafeteria, deciding to go to the snack shop to calm down and get cleaned up.


    His sister really held nothing back, would start hitting whatever the asion!


    Right now Zuo Zichen''s face was covered in food, and his hair oily.


    The five silently followed him out, the silence deafening. Each touching the spot on their head that Quan Zhisui had hit, shocked and resentful inside.


    Didn''t expect you were capable of this Boss Zuo, wedged between Wei Shixu and Quan Zhisui without any temper.


    Then what were they, just taking a beating for nothing?


    Were they part of your threesome y?

 Chapter 43: Can I Chase Your Class President

    <h4>Chapter 43</h4>


    Quan Zhisui went with Wei Shixu to get lunch, looking peculiar, with his words constantly reying in her mind.


    It was so dissonant, so unustomed.


    Like he was coquetting.


    Was Wei Shixu possessed?


    This subtle emotion persisted until the two sat down across from each other after getting their food. Quan Zhisui stared at him as she ate.


    Wei Shixu ate very carefully, chewing slowly, not avoiding her gaze.


    Quan Zhisui squinted her eyes, it was really rare for someone to meet her so direct, almost scrutinizing stare.


    He was not only not embarrassed, he even looked somewhat delighted?


    Quan Zhisui didn''t understand what he was so happy about, and asked while shoving in a bite: "You were there the whole time earlier, watching Zuo Zichen beat people up?"


    Although that girl secretly photographed and spread rumors which was very wrong, Zuo Zichen beat her too severely, going overboard.


    Wei Shixu lookedposed: "Yeah, I was watching."


    Quan Zhisui: "You never help other students?"


    Wei Shixu: "Didn''t I help you? By tutoring you."


    Quan Zhisui changed the question: "Did you see who Zuo Zichen was beating?"


    It was chaotic then, the girl was also sttered all over by the food and rice, her facepletely unrecognizable.


    Wei Shixu: "Zhou Chun from ss 3."


    Quan Zhisui raised her brow: "You know her, but still refused to save her even when seeing her dying?"


    That girl was almost beaten into a pulp by Zuo Zichen.


    Wei Shixu found this question somewhat amusing: "What does her life and death have to do with me?"


    Quan Zhisui: "Huh, as expected of you."


    Extremely cold-blooded.


    Wei Shixu asked: "Why did you help her then? It was her who spread the rumors, aren''t you angry?"


    Quan Zhisui: "I was angry, but beating people is wrong."


    Wei Shixu paused for a moment, staring at her and said: "Can''t believe these words came out of your mouth."


    This time it was Quan Zhisui who couldn''t meet his gaze, she shifted her eyes away and lowered her head to eat.


    She was rendered speechless, caught by him on her logical inconsistency!


    ...


    In the afternoon, Zhou Chun didn''te to ss, apparently she took leave.


    After such an incident, shepletely lost face to stay in school.


    During the break, the school-wide broadcast sounded in Liang Secondary School.


    Zhou Chun was given a demerit recorded in the whole school for secretly photographing and spreading rumors. Zuo Zichen was given a demerit recorded in the whole school for beating someone.


    The people in school finally knew that, surprisingly, Quan Zhisui turned out to be Zuo Zichen''s sister, rted by blood!


    Quan Zhisui found Zhuge Ying and asked: "Don''t I get a demerit too?"


    Kong Mingze was extremely shocked: "There are people who eagerly ask for demerits?"


    Quan Zhisui: "I beat up six of them...took the initiative to do it..."


    This was different from when Zuo Zichen got his arm fracturedst time.


    Zhuge Ying: "You were saving your female schoolmate from campus violence, plus those six people were known problem students and small-time gangsters in school. I think you did great beating them up!"


    Quan Zhisui: "That makes sense."


    Zhuge Ying: "Also, you were the victim. For girls, the harm suffered from having rumors spread is greater than for guys."


    When she said this, her eyes turned cold, she didn''t expect it was Zhou Chun who spread the rumors.


    "I see..." Quan Zhisui thought for a moment, then asked again: "Who was the teacher who made the announcement?"


    Zhuge Ying: "Oh, Ding Xing, Teacher Ding."


    "Who?!" Kong Mingze had a big reaction: "Teacher Ding is biased in favor of Zuo Zichen, he usually glosses over big issues and lets small issues slide. How could he suddenly give Zuo Zichen such a huge demerit this time?"


    Zhuge Ying: "It is a bit strange indeed. I''m surprised he didn''t give Quan Zhisui a demerit..."


    Kong Mingze spoke agitatedly: "He loves stirring up trouble! Last time when Zuo Zichen bullied another student, I went to stop him and we got into a fight. Zuo Zichen didn''t get any punishment, but I was given a demerit instead, pisses me off! Did that guy get bribed or something?"


    Zhuge Ying looked at him in surprise: "How did you suddenly be so perceptive?"


    Kong Mingze said anxiously: "I''m stupid, but I can react to getting duped once right?"


    Quan Zhisui also remembered that Teacher Ding. He glossed over things in the cafeteriast time too. If it wasn''t for the video in Wei Shixu''s hands...


    She suddenly nced to the front row.


    He was watching a movie again.


    Sensing Quan Zhisui''s gaze, Wei Shixu turned his head to look over, the corner of his mouth hooked up into a smile, with a meaning like he had the full picture under control.


    Quan Zhisui understood this smile, so it was him again.


    ...


    School ended at 5:30pm.


    Zuo Zichen swaggeringly walked to the second floor hallway,pletely disregarding the demerit.


    He really lived up to being someone who was determined to be the big boss at Liang Secondary School. Even though only a first year student, the second year seniors all made way when seeing himing.


    Zuo Zichen was in a great mood, standing at the back door of ss 2 (1) he shouted loudly: "Sis! I''m here to pick you up after school!"


    The different father story didn''t spread, due to their different surnames. Now the whole school thought Quan Zhisui was his cousin, a rtive temporarily staying with the Zuo family.


    This made Zuo Zichen extremely happy!


    He could finally openly act as siblings with Quan Zhisui in school.


    Kong Mingze and Wei Shixu went to the cafeteria to eat. Quan Zhisui packed up her bag and walked out of the ssroom with Zhuge Ying.


    Zuo Zichen fawned up to take her bag: "Sis, let me."


    Quan Zhisui directly threw the bag at him.


    Zhuge Ying was surprised: "He''s tamed now?"


    Zuo Zichen''s notoriously bad behavior in Liang Secondary School was in for all to see. He would only act as aplete underling in front of Quan Zhisui, like twopletely different people.


    Quan Zhisui raised a brow at her: "You can ask Kong Mingze or Wei Shixu for photos."


    Zhuge Ying was intrigued: "Are there stories behind this?"


    Quan Zhisui smiled and said: "The story of beating him half to death."


    They spoke softly, Zuo Zichen didn''t hear. Some face was preserved for him.


    He fawned up and said: "Sis, is she your friend? Sis''s friends are my friends!"


    Quan Zhisui: "She''s our ss monitor, Zhuge Ying."


    Zuo Zichen was averse to good students. He muttered: "ss monitor again..."


    He had just beat up a ss monitor at noon. He always felt these ss cadres were two-faced hypocrites.


    Quan Zhisui''s eyes turned cold: "She helped prevent the story of our different fathers from spreading out. You better know your ce."


    Zuo Zichen immediately saw Zhuge Ying in a new light. He quickly stuck out his hand: "Sis Ying! I''ll carry your bag from now on, I''ll cover you at Liang Secondary School!"


    Zhuge Ying declined: "No need, my bag isn''t heavy."


    Zuo Zichen cared a lot about this matter. He lowered his voice and asked: "Sis Ying, how did you manage to do it? What did you say?"


    Zhuge Ying: "Many things don''t need to be explicitly stated. I just told the teachers two facts: First, Quan Zhisui is living at the Zuo house; Second, Quan Zhisui is your sister with blood ties. "


    What she said was all truthful, but she hid some key information very cleverly, deftly avoiding the crucial points. This made the teachers subconsciously think they were ordinary rtives.


    A very sessful misleading!


    Zuo Zichen was amazed: "So clever, is this how smart people handle things?"


    Much more advanced than his brawling and the like!


    Zhuge Yingughed: "Your sister is also very clever."


    Zuo Zichen was dazzled by Zhuge Ying''s smile.


    He suddenly turned and asked: "Sis, can I pursue your ss monitor?"


    Pow!


    Quan Zhisui hit someone again.

 Chapter 44: Nothing to say Her fists are Hard

    <h4>Chapter 44</h4>


    The rumors about the canteen incident were smoothed over thanks to Zhuge Ying paving the way and Wei Shixu tying up loose ends, allowing Quan Zhisui to get awaypletely unscathed and even gain some notoriety from it.


    Now the whole school knew that not only was she Zuo Zichen''s cousin and older sister figure, but that she could beat Zuo Zichen into submission!


    There was a hint that she was gaining the aura of Gang Linjia the overlord.


    On her way home, Quan Zhisui saw a message on her phone that had been recalled. It was still Fang Yue being exceptionally careful about sending messages. However, it had been sent in the afternoon when she was in ss and hadn''t seen the content.


    She didn''t care at all! Her fist was hard!


    These past few days, she had stirred up drama at the Zuo family, leaving Zuo Zhiyu and Xu Zhiyi scrambling to react, busy the whole time just dealing with "good morning!"


    When Quan Zhisui returned to the Zuo house, she learned that Zuo Zhiyu had gone on a business trip, with Fang Yue apanying him, apparently to deliberately avoid her.


    The dining room had already been redecorated, with waterproof and oil-resistant decorative panels installed on the walls.


    As expected of a prominent family, they were able to repair such extensive damage in just a few short days. The dining room now looked as good as new.


    As the little brother, Zuo Zichen helped carry Quan Zhisui''s schoolbag upstairs to her room. Quan Zhisui went to the dining room first to eat.


    And so, there she encountered the gloomy-faced Xu Zhiyi.


    When Xu Zhiyi saw her, she immediately flung her phone at Quan Zhisui without saying a word!


    Quan Zhisui deftly dodged to the side.


    Bang!


    The phone heavily smashed into the door behind her.


    Quan Zhisui asked very calmly, "Aunt Xu, what are you doing?"


    Xu Zhiyi shrieked, "What did you do at school?! What did you do to my Zichen?!"


    She had felt something was off all along, so she contacted Teacher Ding from 10th grade and only then learned about the major incidents involving her son at school.


    And it happened twice! Both times in the cafeteria!


    She had watched the videos. It turned out Zuo Zichen''s injured hand was because of Quan Zhisui!


    She had caused Zuo Zichen to fracture his hand!


    And then there was today''s video where she saw Quan Zhisui smear a face full of food onto Zuo Zichen, and even hit her son''s head with that stainless steel lunch tray!


    Yet Quan Zhisui shamelessly lied to her!


    Xu Zhiyi was furious beyond belief. She charged around the round table, intent on getting violent. "Your dad isn''t home today. I''m going to beat you to death! You little bitch! How dare youy a hand on my son! I''m going to beat you to death!"


    Quan Zhisui nimbly dodged her,pletely out of reach.


    Faintly, a bizarre gleam flickered in her eyes.


    She asked, "Aunt Xu, are you sure you want to curse at me and hit me?"


    "I''m going to beat you to death! I''m going to kill you! You bitch! My son''s hand is your fault!" Xu Zhiyi charged at her again like a madwoman, throwing whatever was in her hand. She smashed up the entire dining room, causing a cacophony of ngs and tters.


    When Zuo Zichen came whistling to the dining room after putting down his schoolbag, he happened to see his own mother having a meltdown.


    She kept chasing after Quan Zhisui to hit her but couldn''tnd a single blow as they ran around the dining room.


    Xu Zhiyi was both frenzied and screaming, her hair disheveled and her clothes torn every which way. She looked like she had lost her mind!


    Zuo Zichen was shocked and yelled, "Mom! What are you doing?!"


    "Ah! Ahhh!" Xu Zhiyi kept screaming and raging.


    On the other hand, Quan Zhisui calmly spoke, "Oh, your mom wants to hit me but can''t, so she''s gone mad from frustration."


    Zuo Zichen said, "Mom! Why do you want to hit big sister?"


    When Xu Zhiyi saw Zuo Zichen, she copsed into his arms bawling, "Son! I''m sorry to you! I didn''t know you were bullied like this at school!"


    Quan Zhisui had already found a seat at the table and called towards the kitchen, "Uncle Ma, serve the dishes!"


    This provoked Xu Zhiyi once more. She remembered the previous time Quan Zhisui had flipped the table, scattering dishes all over the floor and drenching her precious son in oil.


    So she let go of Zuo Zichen and rushed over to flip the table as well.


    As she flipped it, she yelled, "I''m going to smash you to death!"


    But then...


    That extravagant stone table was extremely heavy. Not only could she not lift it, she pulled a muscle in her hand.


    So she howled and rolled on the ground in pain.


    She really did look deranged.


    The relentless high-pitched shrieking was too much for Zuo Zichen. He bellowed, "Mom! Can you please stop screaming! You''re going to make me deaf!"


    "You cheap bastard!" Xu Zhiyi still kept cursing. She red at Quan Zhisui with eyes full of malice. "You and your mother are both cheap whores!"


    As soon as these words left her mouth, Zuo Zichen sensed trouble brewing.


    But it was toote.


    In a sh, Quan Zhisui raised her hand and flung a te of cold appetizers right at Xu Zhiyi.


    Her aim was pinpoint urate, as if calcted precisely!


    The te smashed heavily into Xu Zhiyi''s face with a thwack, twisting her face to one side. As the dishes scattered on the floor, the shattered porcin cut her right under the corner of her eye, and a drop of blood oozed out.


    "Ah! Ahhh!" Xu Zhiyi clutched her eye in terror and screamed, "My eye! Call an ambnce! Call an ambnce!"


    "Mom?!" Zuo Zichen was extremely worried and hurriedly went to check on her.


    Then he breathed a sigh of relief, "It''s nothing, just a small cut."


    For a second there, he really thought the te had hit his mother''s eye. Luckily it was just a porcin scratch, still several centimeters away from her actual eye.


    He was very concerned about his own mother, but also afraid of Quan Zhisui.


    Xu Zhiyi shrieked frantically, "She dared to hit me! She made me bleed! She even hit my son, she hit my son! Call the police, call the police now! Arrest her!"


    The hugemotion in the dining room quickly brought the Zuo family servants rushing over, only to see their mistress having a breakdown.


    "Call an ambnce! Call the police!" Xu Zhiyi pounded the floor desperately, nearly swelling up her own hand from the force.


    The servants all looked at each other, very hesitant.


    "Calling the police...what about the Master''s instructions?"


    Prominent families rarely resolved grievances by calling the police. They valued face greatly and feared scandals getting out.


    These were all instructions Zuo Zhiyu had specificallyid out.


    "Call the police!" Xu Zhiyi''s attitude was extremely firm.


    At this time, Quan Zhisui sat in the head seat, single-handedly propping up her chin as she sneered coldly, "Go ahead and call the police. Let Zuo family scandals be known to all, tank Zuo Corporation''s market value, and show everyone in Liangxi City who the real cheap whore is."


    Silence--


    Xu Zhiyi''s furious curses and screams vanished in an instant.


    She''s right...I can''t call the police...


    Zuo Zhiyu would divorce me.


    The dining room became dead silent, with only the nervous breathing of the crowd remaining.


    Zuo Zichen gave Quan Zhisui aplicated look and patted Xu Zhiyi''s back, murmuring, "Mom, stop making a scene. Don''t fight anymore."


    You''re no match for her.


    She''s clever, powerful, and ruthless.


    Xu Zhiyi seemed to have lost her soul. She slumped to the floor in panic and helplessness, looking at Zuo Zichen, then at Quan Zhisui.


    Quan Zhisui simply sat in the head seat looking at her, her eyes not icy cold or hateful like one would imagine, but an aloof gaze from one in power.


    Like watching an ant struggle, mildly entertaining to y with for now, but can be crushed at any time.


    This kind of terrifying yet powerful gaze instantly evoked Xu Zhiyi''s memories. She had seen such frightening, mighty eyes before!


    In Quan Feng''s eyes.

 Chapter 45: Mercy is Evil, Justice is Fierce.

    <h4>Chapter 45</h4>


    "Waaahhh!" Xu Zhiyi immediately copsed and cried out, hugging Zuo Zichen tightly and sobbing.


    "Go cry outside." Quan Zhisui''s voice rang out.


    Xu Zhiyi immediately stumbled out with Zuo Zichen, not daring to stay in the living room. They ran into the courtyard and cried there.


    She was really afraid and also desperate. She knew that she would never be able to fight against Quan Zhisui for the rest of her life in the Zuo Family.


    No...


    Perhaps Quan Zhisui didn''t even need to fight at all. Everything in the Zuo Family was hers.


    This girl''s surname was Quan!


    In the courtyard, Xu Zhiyi hugged Zuo Zichen and cried until she was breathless: "Mom doesn''t have any ability. I''m sorry, son! It''s mom''s fault! I''ve ruined you!"


    Zuo Zichen''s eyes also turned red. His emotions were even moreplicated than Xu Zhiyi''s, and he didn''t even know how tofort his own mother.


    Xu Zhiyi seemed to have been frightened crazy by Quan Zhisui. She kept crying and saying, "She''s back. There''s no ce for us mother and son in the Zuo Family anymore. She''s back, waaah!"


    "Mom!" Zuo Zichen held Xu Zhiyi''s shoulders, "Sis just has a bad temper. If you don''t provoke her, she can actually be reasonable. Let''s not provoke her anymore, okay?"


    He was truly afraid of Quan Zhisui, and even suspected that he had been manipted by her.


    But Xu Zhiyi just kept shaking her head and crying, "It''s over! Sixteen years of preparation has been for nothing! There''s no ce for me anymore! Or for you either! Son, waaah! She''s back to seize the Zuo Family''s wealth. She''s back to take back control of the Zuo Group!"


    Zuo Zichen also started crying, "Then just give it to her. Give her everything. Mom, I''m scared too. I''m afraid she''ll hit me, waaah!"


    Xu Zhiyi: "Waaah!"


    The two of them cried like lunatics, both frightened and terrified.


    In the dining room.


    Ma Xinwei and Gu Lan had already started serving dishes to Quan Zhisui, along with steaming hot rice.


    None of the servants dared to speak, onlymunicating with their eyes.


    Quan Zhisui had first subdued the young master, then suppressed the mistress. Looking at how the mistress was just now, not even daring to cry loudly, hiding in a small corner of the courtyard.


    The young miss was truly too frightening and powerful!


    From today on, the Zuo Family had officially changed hands!


    ...


    Zhou Chun, who had disappeared for two days, came back to ss again.


    She was no longer the ss monitor of ss 3. There were no ss monitors in Liang Secondary School who had a demerit record. After what she had done was exposed, her ssmates had all distanced themselves from her. No one liked being friends with someone who secretly took photos and spread rumors.


    Zhou Chun was also like a different person, never smiling again. She had also moved to the furthest corner of the ssroom and no longer raised her hand in ss, keeping her head lowered the entire time.


    She had be famous, infamously.


    At noon that day.


    Zhou Chun came to the doorway of ss 1, holding a cup of milk tea in her hands.


    The student in the window instinctively turned his head and yelled, "Wei Shixu...."


    "Wait!" Zhou Chun quickly interrupted him and said softly, "I''m looking for Quan Zhisui."


    The student in the window was puzzled, but still helped call the person for her: "Quan Zhisui, someone outside is looking for you!"


    When Quan Zhisui walked out of the ssroom and saw Zhou Chun in the corridor, she had a bewildered look on her face: "You are?"


    Who is this...


    Zhou Chun looked up at her in surprise, only then realizing that Quan Zhisui didn''t recognize her at all, and hadn''t even remembered what she looked like.


    She opened her mouth, then steeled herself to speak: "I''m Zhou Chun."


    Quan Zhisui had some impression. She thought for three seconds before finally recalling, "Oh! You''re the one who spread rumors about me?"


    "Yes..." Zhou Chun held out the milk tea, "I''m sorry, and thank you."


    She had thought for two days at home, and had also lost sleep for two nights.


    Later she found out what had happened at school - Quan Zhisui and Zuo Zichen turned out to be rtives!


    She heard they were cousins?


    At first Zhou Chun copsed in disbelief, even falling into mad struggles within her mind. But two dayster she had a dream.


    In the dream was the scene of Quan Zhisui smashing Zuo Zichen''s face with a te.


    The tes kept ttering loudly!


    That night, she had the exact same dream countless times.


    Later Zhou Chun thought. If Quan Zhisui hadn''t suddenly rushed out that day and beaten up Zuo Zichen, she probably would have been beaten into the hospital by Zuo Zichen''s gang...


    Disfigured? Fractures? Even paralyzed in a hospital bed.


    Zuo Zichen didn''t care about getting demerits. Relying on his family background he acted recklessly at school. And it wasn''t the first time he had beaten someone like this either.


    So Zhou Chun had bought milk tea and came to make amends with Quan Zhisui.


    She thought Quan Zhisui would save her and help her beat up Zuo Zichen. Her sense of justice had almost exploded at that time!


    She must have misunderstood Quan Zhisui. Quan Zhisui must be a very kind person.


    Zhou Chun stood in the corridor, holding out the milk tea with her head lowered.


    But she had waited for a long time, and Quan Zhisui still didn''t take it.


    Puzzled, Zhou Chun raised her head, only to see an unexpected expression in those beautiful amber eyes.


    There was no kindness or justice in Quan Zhisui''s eyes, only a fierce glint.


    She saw Quan Zhisui cracking her knuckles with a ''ka ka'' sound. "So you''re the one spreading rumors? You dare toe looking for death in front of me..."


    Zhou Chun was shocked!


    This was not what she had imagined at all!


    "Ahhh¡ª"


    She screamed and threw the milk tea away. Then she fled back to the ssroom as fast as the wind, as if her feet had been greased. She had never run so fast before.


    Ahhh!


    Quan Zhisui was actually going to hit her!


    What happened to the justice and kindness?


    How could this transfer student have such a split personality like Wei Shixu!


    Zhou Chun hid frightened in the corner of ss 3, her emotions swirling up and down uncontrobly.


    Just then, five Grade 10 students marched swaggeringly down the corridor outside. They were Zuo Zichen''s underlings, carrying snacks, milk tea and other things. They handed them to Quan Zhisui, who was standing by the railing.


    "Good afternoon, Sis Quan!"


    The five people yelled loudly and forcefully.


    The windows of several Grade 11 sses were open, and many students poked their heads out to watch.


    ss 3 was no exception. Zhou Chun could hear her ssmates'' astonished voices around her.


    "Wow, Quan Zhisui has really be the school tyrant?"


    "She''s fierce. I''ve never seen Zuo Zichen so obedient before."


    "Suppressed by her bloodline, even though she''s just a cousin."


    "Sis Quan is so powerful!"


    Zhou Chun hugged herself helplessly. At this moment, her emotions had reached an extremelyplicated peak!


    She thought of Wei Shixu. Usually Wei Shixu always had a faint smile, an innocent and harmless smile. But he would suddenly reveal a very scary look in his eyes and do frightening things.


    Just like Quan Zhisui''s instant change in expression today.


    His warmth seemed like a kind of charity, asionally triggeredpassion, not his true nature.


    Zhou Chun was shocked to realize she had probably provoked some incredible people, even two of them.


    Wei Shixu and Quan Zhisui were essentially the same, equally split.


    Onepassionate yet sinister, the other righteous yet fierce.

 Chapter 46: The Two Men in a Hot Atmosphere

    <h4>Chapter 46</h4>


    After the scumbag dad was gone, mom became obedient and little brother was well-behaved. The younger brothers sent snacks, so Quan Zhisui had a good time for several days in a row.


    She felt great, but Wei Shixu was unhappy.


    That day, she was seriously doing questions when she heard Wei Shixu''s voice behind her: "Want to eat pudding?"


    Quan Zhisui shook her head: "One, two, three, four, five bought some for me."


    The numbers referred to the nicknames she had given to Zuo Zichen''s five younger brothers. She was toozy to remember their actual names, so just called them by numbers. It made her seem very authoritative.


    Wei Shixu asked again: "It''s the weekend, want to go eat hotpot after school?"


    Quan Zhisui shook her head again: "Promised my little brother to go shopping."


    The school sports meet wasing up next week, and she still didn''t have a proper pair of sneakers. The shoes she brought from Mount Wudang were for martial arts practice and slippers, with very thin soles.


    Not everyone could practice martial arts in shoes with such thin soles, but Quan Zhisui was confident about this!


    However, those shoes were unsuitable forpeting, which was a disadvantage.


    By this time, Wei Shixu''s voice had gotten much colder: "What about tomorrow? Still going with your brother?"


    Quan Zhisui answered very casually: "Tomorrow of course I''ll be home studying!"


    Wei Shixu didn''t say anything more. He walked past her and went straight to the front row seat.


    Two minutester...


    "Quan Zhisui!"


    Wei Shixu suddenly turned around, his voice low and loud.


    The whole ss quieted down instantly, everyone startled by his abrupt shout.


    Quan Zhisui was also frightened by his sudden yell, but the moment she looked up she started shouting back.


    She yelled even louder than him: "What is it!!!"


    Wei Shixu pressed his lips together, staring fixedly at her. His eyes were gloomy, as if covered by ayer of haze, giving off an oppressive feeling like a storm was about toe!


    Seeing this look, Quan Zhisui knew he was having one of his episodes again. She stared back at him unmoving, a powerful and overbearing direct gaze.


    He was fierce, so she would be even fiercer!


    The rest of the ss was even more horrified. These two had been getting along quite well recently, so why were they suddenly confronting each other?


    What was going on?!


    The prolonged staring contest was like fire and wind facing off. The auras of the two kept rising until the invisible energy colliding in the air exploded!


    The atmosphere was extremely tense!


    The entire ss 1 of Grade 10 was perfectly silent. Everyone was so frightened they didn''t dare make a sound, and it continued for a long time. Some students were so scared they didn''t dare breathe, holding their breath until their faces turned red!


    At this moment, many realized the importance of Kong Mingze. If he had been here, he definitely would havee out to smooth things over.


    Then it wouldn''t have scared everyone half to death!


    Finally, after a full two minutes, Wei Shixu was the first to look away. He seemed to sigh and said softly, "It''s nothing."


    "Oh," Quan Zhisui lowered her head and continued with the questions.


    The rest of the ss could finally breathe again, shouting "I''m saved!" in their hearts.


    Why were these two so terrifying? It felt like a fight to the death was about to break out any second!


    Just then, Kong Mingze and Zhuge Ying came back. Kong Mingze had gone to help the ss president carry things for the uing school sports meet, which Zhuge Ying was very busy preparing for.


    As soon as those two returned, the ss went back to normal.


    Kong Mingze was noisy and talkative as usual, immediately dissipating the terrifying atmosphere from earlier.


    "Hey! Hotpot at my house tonight?" He put his arm around Wei Shixu''s neck,ughing as he invited him.


    Wei Shixu pried his arm off and said indifferently, "I''m not going."


    He nced again toward the corner. The girl didn''t even lift her head, focused on studying and doing questions, not giving him a single look.


    Dammit.


    Was she unsolvable?


    Made of reinforced concrete?


    ...


    After school on Friday, Zhao Lin drove Quan Zhisui and Zuo Zichen to the mall.


    Since Zuo Zhiyu was still away, Zuo Zichen didn''t get his allowance this month. His mom didn''t have much money either since she spent a lot. He would have to wait until his dad came back.


    Quan Zhisui spent her own meal allowance to buy sneakers.


    After trying on shoes for half a day, she chose a pair that cost 400 yuan.


    By the time they left the mall, it was already evening. As soon as they stepped outside, a cold wind blew.


    The weather was getting colder, with a big difference between day and night temps. On top of that, Quan Zhisui had very low body fat, so her ability to withstand cold was rather poor. She immediately tightened her cor against the chill.


    Zuo Zichen was young and not observant, so he assumed his sister had a strong body from martial arts training and wasn''t bothered by the cold at all.


    "When will you have allowance money again?" Quan Zhisui calcted the time.


    Zuo Zichen said, "Should just be a couple more days, but Dad''s on a business trip for a week. Mom doesn''t have much money either since she spends a lot. I won''t get any until Dades back."


    Zuo Zhiyu hadn''t contacted them at all during his business trip. If it wasn''t for Fang Yue sending the asional deleted message, Quan Zhisui would''ve thought Zuo Zhiyu was dead.


    She didn''t push it further. If this scumbag dad didn''te back with money soon, she would have to continue using her own meal allowance to buy clothes.


    Having been an orphan since childhood caused Quan Zhisui to greatly value anything she could get her hands on. She never wasted money. Even gifts from her master and senior brothers that were worn out after many years, she would carefully store away.


    The 10,000 yuan she received when firsting to the Zuo family was the most money she''d ever had in her life. She didn''t even know how to spend it all.


    She wanted to save it, save it all, until the end of time.


    Meanwhile, Zuo Zichen got 50,000 yuan in allowance every month, an unfathomable amount to Quan Zhisui.


    Quan Zhisui didn''t like the Zuo family and wanted nothing to do with Zuo Zhiyu, but she would never reject money.


    She was a girl, already seventeen years old.


    She had been raised by her master since childhood. Her overbearing temperament was ingrained, but her master had nurtured her well, ensuring she never developed an inferiorityplex despite being an orphan for seventeen years. Mentally she was very healthy, and could face her own needs and preferences normally.


    Sometimes she also wanted to try a different style, wearing nice clothes and shoes.


    The more Quan Zhisui thought about it, the angrier she got.


    So...


    Right in front of Zuo Zichen, she called Zuo Zhiyu.


    Zuo Zichen shook his head. "Dad doesn''t answer calls or reply to messages when he''s on business trips. Mom and I have tried for years. I suspect he might have a mistress out there..."


    His voice got very small saying thatst part. The word mistress was taboo.


    But right then, Quan Zhisui''s call went through.


    Sounding like he just woke up, Zuo Zhiyu answered: "Hello?"


    Quan Zhisui immediately started cursing: "Are you dead out there?!"


    Zuo Zichen''s eyes went wide in horror as he watched his sister.


    Zuo Zhiyu: "What, what did you say?"


    Just then another cold gust blew by, making Quan Zhisui even angrier.


    She yelled: "I said are you dead?! Get back here! If you don''te back, send money! I''m out of money! I want to buy clothes! Expensive ones!"


    Zuo Zhiyu held the phone away and nced at the screen to confirm it was really Quan Zhisui''s number before exploding in rage: "Is this how you talk to me?!"


    Quan Zhisui: "Yes! Send money! Otherwise I won''t acknowledge you as my dad!"


    Zuo Zhiyu took a deep breath to restrain his anger and said: "Daddy will give you money when he gets back..."


    He still insisted on waiting until he returned to give money. Quan Zhisui was so mad she directly hung up, not bothering to listen to whatever else he had to say.


    Zuo Zichen beside her held up a thumbs up: "Sis! You''re my one and only sis!"


    You''re the only one in the entire Zuo family who dares talk to Zuo Zhiyu like that!

 Chapter 47: Is She Cold

    <h4>Chapter 47</h4>


    Zuo Zhiyu certainly wouldn¡¯te back just because of a phone call from Quan Zhisui. He evenpletely disappeared for another two days.


    On Monday morning, after practicing martial arts, Quan Zhisui went to eat breakfast. Seeing the weather getting cooler, she wore an extra piece of clothing inside her school uniform.


    The only jacket she had worn for two days over the weekend was still in the dirty clothes hamper unwashed. It would take three hours to wash and dry it.


    So now Quan Zhisui was wearing an undershirt plus a long sleeve martial arts uniform, with a school uniform jacket over it.


    It was still tight and cold.


    She decided to give Zuo Zhiyu two more days. If he didn¡¯t send money, she would dismantle his study on the third floor!


    After arriving at Liang Zhong, Zuo Zichen got off the car first, carrying Quan Zhisui¡¯s schoolbag, ¡°Sis, I¡¯ll take you to ss.¡±


    His ster cast was removed, as if he was reborn.


    Quan Zhisui nced at him and walked to the second floor of the teaching building.


    At the same time when she arrived at the door of ss 1, she bumped into Wei Shixu who was also entering the ssroom.


    Wei Shixu''s expression was indifferent as he nced at Zuo Zichen following behind her. He didn''t say anything and went to his seat.


    Quan Zhisui was holding a notebook. It was the summary of key knowledge points in the second half of Grade 10 she had prepared over the weekend. She wanted to ask Wei Shixu about it.


    But seeing his indifferent attitude, she didn''t hesitate and went to find Zhuge Ying instead.


    After sending Quan Zhisui to the ssroom, Zuo Zichen went straight to ss 3 of Grade 10. He was chewing gum nonchntly, and walked to the back door of ss 3...


    Bang!


    He kicked the door.


    "Surnamed Zhou,e out!"


    He didn''t say he would let Zhou Chun off.


    Zhou Chun had already changed seats by now. She looked at the door being kicked and shook tremulously, on the verge of being kicked broken.


    She had already been given a demerit and also removed from the monitor position.


    Wasn''t the matter over!


    Zhou Chun didn''t expect Zuo Zichen to be so ruthless, fearing nothing. He even dared to cause trouble in Grade 10 during morning reading ss!


    The continuous troublemaking and kicking the door soon attracted teachers. As soon as the head teacher of ss 3 saw it was Zuo Zichen, he felt a headache. He immediately called the discipline master.


    After making a racket for a while, Discipline Master Zhang Li scolded him in the corridor.


    However, Zuo Zichen lookedpletely nonchnt, chewing gum and making ¡®pop pop¡¯ sounds. While listening to Zhang Li¡¯s scolding, he stood by the window staring straight at Zhou Chun inside the ssroom.


    Zhou Chun hurriedly avoided eye contact, her heart pounding rapidly!


    What should she do? If Zuo Zichen came every day, wouldn''t she not even be able to leave the ssroom?


    Could she still go to school properly!


    ss 1 and ss 3 were separated by one ssroom. Quan Zhisui was listening to Zhuge Ying''s exnation very carefully and quickly rified several difficulties.


    "It feels quite simple after understanding it, right?" Zhuge Ying asked very proudly.


    "Yeah!" Quan Zhisui nodded her head and made a fist to blow on it.


    Zhuge Ying looked at her, "Are you cold? Period?"


    Quan Zhisui said, "No, ss is starting soon, I''ll go back to my seat first."


    Zhuge Ying said, "Okay, let me know if you have your period. I''ll bring brown sugar water boiled by my mom for you."


    Quan Zhisui said, "It''s not my period!"


    Wei Shixu, who was twirling his pen in the front row by the window, paused for a moment, and nced at the slender figure from the corner of his eye.


    Cold?


    She still looked the same as others on the surface.


    But how could she look slender?


    The moment the ss bell rang, Wei Shixu got up and walked out of the ssroom.


    "Wei Shixu, where are you going?" Qian Ya stood at the door and asked in surprise.


    "Dormitory." He said.


    Qian Ya said, "But ss is starting..."


    "Feeling unwell." He said, and the person was already gone.


    Qian Ya still wanted to show some concern, but soon couldn''t see anyone in the corridor.


    "Let''s start ss!" Qian Ya said as she walked to the podium.


    The students in the ss were not surprised at all. Wei Shixu had always been weird. His grades were good anyway, so it didn¡¯t matter if he attended ss or not. He would still be the first ce.


    Qian Ya was both the head teacher and math teacher. Quan Zhisui listened very attentively in ss.


    Wei Shixu was absent for the entire ss, and only came back from the back door when the ss bell rang.


    Quan Zhisui felt something extra on her arm and looked back to see a ck windbreaker.


    "Mine, worn once." Wei Shixu''s voice was emotionless. After giving her the clothing, he walked away.


    Quan Zhisui looked at the jacket, then at his back.


    Damn!


    So touching!


    She hurriedly put on the clothes and zipped it all the way up.


    Warm!


    Zhuge Ying in the front row just happened to look back and saw this scene, then silently turned her head back.


    Wei Shixu got it!


    Anyway, Kong Mingze came to ss and slept through the morning, sleeping for a whole morning. When he opened his eyes at lunchtime, he first rubbed them several times, then startedughing out loud.


    "Hahaha! Quan Zhisui! Hahaha!" Heughed exaggeratedly,ughing until the whole ss looked back.


    Quan Zhisui was organizing her morning ss notes. Hearing him yelling, she looked up and yelled at him, "What are youughing at!"


    Kong Mingze was stillughing, "Why are you wearing such big clothes? Do you know what you look like now?"


    Quan Zhisui asked, "What do I look like?"


    Kong Mingze said, "Like a kid trying on adult clothes, like a cat wrapped in a nket, hahaha! Whose clothes are these, so ugly and ck!"


    Quan Zhisui rolled her eyes at him. Indeed, the clothes she wore of Wei Shixu''s were too big. She was the one practicing martial arts. Why was Wei Shixu so much taller than her?


    Kong Mingze didn''t see Wei Shixu when he woke up.


    In recent days, Wei Shixu ignored everyone and was a loner. Kong Mingze was used to it by now.


    Quan Zhisui was still busy with her studies. So Kong Mingze got up and was about to look for the ss monitor.


    But at this moment, Zuo Zichen''s voice came from the corridor outside, "Sis! Lunch!"


    Quan Zhisui frowned and shouted, "Wait a minute!"


    She wanted to finish organizing her notes before going.


    Zuo Zichen looked to the front row again, "Sis Ying! Let''s have lunch together!"


    Zhuge Ying frowned, somewhat disgusted, "What''s up with you?"


    Zuo Zichen had one hand in his pocket, chewing gum, "What''s wrong? Sis Ying wouldn''t look down on me, would you? I''m your good friend''s brother! For my sister''s sake, you should date me too!"


    Zhuge Ying was even more disgusted. She looked back.


    Quan Zhisui still had thest bit of notes to organize, just a little bit left.


    So when she stood up, she was in an explosive state.


    Bang!


    She directly kicked Zuo Zichen out the door.


    "Don''te in!"


    Quan Zhisui was really annoyed!


    At the end of the corridor in the girls'' bathroom, Zhou Chun trembled and hid in the corner. Seeing Zuo Zichene to the Grade 10 corridor again during lunch, she didn¡¯t even dare to go to the cafeteria to eat, and directly hid in the girls'' bathroom.


    Fortunately, Zuo Zichen went to find Quan Zhisui, and then...


    He was kicked flying by Quan Zhisui!?


    Zhou Chun''s eyes were wide with shock.


    So fierce...

 Chapter 48: Go away, go away.

    <h4>Chapter 48</h4>


    Zuo Zichen was kicked and fell down in the corridor. He didn''t dare to have a bit of temper.


    He immediately apologized, "I was wrong, I was wrong! I promise I''ll just stay in the corridor from now on and won''t go into the ssroom! Big sister, please show mercy!"


    Kong Mingze clenched his fist and loosened it, clenched and loosened again. He really wanted to beat up this little guy severely!


    He was so furious!


    Zhuge Ying didn''t want to eat lunch with Zuo Zichen. She gave up on Quan Zhisui as well and said, "Kong Mingze, let''s go to the cafeteria together."


    Kong Mingze immediately followed Zhuge Ying and left, staying far away from that Zuo Zichen.


    After being beaten into submission, Zuo Zichen was like a follower of Quan Zhisui''s, but he still couldn''t get rid of the look of a little gangster.


    When he followed Quan Zhisui to the cafeteria for a meal, he threatened other students again and cut in line. This waspletely different from his well-behaved and obedient appearance in front of Quan Zhisui.


    Quan Zhisui had originally wanted to treat Wei Shixu to lunch, but with Zuo Zichen''s interruption, she couldn''t find him.


    "Sis! I behaved well today, didn''t I?" Zuo Zichen was stillpletely oblivious and tried to curry favor by asking.


    Quan Zhisui: "Don''te to eat with me from now on. I want to eat with my ssmates."


    Zuo Zichen: "Why? I can eat with your ssmates too, can''t I?"


    Like Sister Zhuge Ying, for example.


    Quan Zhisui: "Annoying."


    Zuo Zichen: "Oh, okay."


    ...


    After lunch during the break, Quan Zhisui was still rushing to catch up on her studies. Her pencil scratched away as she did problems, wanting to finish learning the entire high school second grade curriculum as quickly as possible. She was under a lot of pressure.


    Kong Mingze and Wei Shixu disappeared again for the entire noon, onlying back when the break ended.


    Wei Shixu still had that deadpan look, not wanting to interact with anyone. After returning to the ssroom, he just sat in his seat and watched movies.


    Quan Zhisui stopped writing and looked at Kong Mingze. She asked this question for the first time: "What do you two do every noon when you disappear?"


    Kong Mingze: "Oh, acupuncture."


    Quan Zhisui: "Huh?"


    Kong Mingze: "Wei Shixu has a bad stomach that he''s had for many years. It''s quite serious."


    Quan Zhisui looked ahead at Wei Shixu. She wondered aloud, "What''s wrong with his stomach?"


    She was socking in discernment that she hadn''t noticed anything!


    Kong Mingze thought for a moment and said, "It hurts, and he can''t get angry or his stomach will hurt for a whole day if he does."


    Quan Zhisui asked: "Hasn''t he gotten treatment?"


    Wei Shixu even had 10,000 yuan on his meal card. He was picked up by two luxury cars every weekend when he went home, indicating his family circumstances were very good. His stomach problems shouldn''t go untreated.


    Kong Mingze: "Medications haven''t worked. In thest two years he found an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor to do acupuncture, and it''s a little better but still not cured."


    Quan Zhisui furrowed her brow, recalling her master had said that in many ces, the inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine had been broken during the wars and turmoil. Many medicinal recipes had been lost overseas.


    If he hadn''t been cured in Liangxi, could this be the situation?


    Quan Zhisui looked at the practically brand new high school second grade textbooks on her desk that belonged to Wei Shixu, as well as the homework and materials that were also Wei Shixu''s. Then she looked again at the coat she was wearing, which was still Wei Shixu''s.


    She kept the stomach illness in mind and made a note.


    ...


    The next day, Zuo Zhixu still hadn''te back. Quan Zhisui was starting to lose patience.


    Today was the school sports meet and there were no sses.


    When Quan Zhisui walked into the ssroom, she was still wearing the tactical jacket from yesterday. Underneath was the school uniform, and under that was a short sleeve t-shirt. She would take off the outeryers after warming up.


    Kong Mingze, unusually, wasn''t sleeping. Seeing her, he hurriedly waved his hand and called out, "Hey! Quan Zhisui! The ss monitor told me to give this to you!"


    Quan Zhisui walked over. "What is it?"


    Kong Mingze: "Yourpetition schedule!"


    Quan Zhisui nced over it and noticed some spots were empty.


    "Where''s the ss monitor?" she asked.


    Kong Mingze exined: "Zhuge Ying is not only our ss monitor but also on the student council. There''s a lot of work to do for the school sports meet, so she''s busy."


    Quan Zhisui looked again at the window seat in the front row. Wei Shixu wasn''t there either, which was quite strange since he wasn''t a ss officer or on the student council.


    Kong Mingze was very excited. "The school sports meet starts at 8:30. Your first event is the long distance run at 9:30. Go for it!"


    Quan Zhisui shed her running shoes. "I''m all ready."


    She was looking forward to the school sports meet. At the designated time, she followed the crowds to the track and field. On the stage at the very front she saw Zhuge Ying and other student council members, indeed very busy.


    The school sports meet began with a speech by the principal, followed by students'' remarks.


    Unexpectedly, the student representative was Wei Shixu. He went up after the principal left the stage.


    "Why does he get to give a speech?" Quan Zhisui asked Kong Mingze.


    Since he wasn''t a ss officer or student council member, why Wei Shixu?


    Kong Mingze: "Of course because he''s awesome!"


    Quan Zhisui: "..."


    Wei Shixu''s speech had no notes, nor any impassioned rhetorical flourishes. He just spoke very calmly, as if improvising a casual couple of sentences.


    When he finished, everyone began pping.


    Kong Mingze leaned in and said, "Yeah, just a couple casual sentences like that could still be published as news."


    Quan Zhisui didn''t understand. "Why?"


    Kong Mingze: "Wei Shixu is the living signboard of Liangzhong."


    While his grandfather Wei Jingzai was the living signboard of Liangxi.


    After the speech ended, Quan Zhisui went to the track and field area to begin her pre-race warm up.


    A few female ssmates also came over, intending to help thepetitors watch their clothes, phones and other belongings. The ss officers also came over with a box of water, ready to distribute at any time.


    On the open ground, Quan Zhisui had already started stretching.


    "Quan Zhisui, you''re starting your warm up so early?"


    "The long distance run doesn''t start for another half hour!"


    Quan Zhisui: "Yeah, I need a long warm up time."


    First she loosened her wrists and ankles, then began stretching.


    With one stretch, exmations immediately erupted from the surroundings.


    "Damn, Quan Zhisui! Your flexibility is so good?"


    "Quan Zhisui, have you practiced yoga?"


    Quan Zhisui: "No, this is basic training."


    She didn''t say anything more, adjusting her breathing and concentrating on stretching, making sure to cover every part of her body.


    She was about to fully open up and run soon!


    Aftering down from the stage, Wei Shixu walked over here. He saw his ss and then within the circle of chattering girls saw Quan Zhisui.


    And he froze.


    How was she still wearing that ill-fitting tactical jacket from yesterday?


    Did she like it?


    Impossible.


    Her attitude towards him was even a little perfunctory.


    Wei Shixu suddenly thought of an absurd possibility - yesterday she wasn''t underdressed, she just didn''t have clothes to wear.


    The Zuo family wasn''t buying her clothes?


    At this time a group of first year students charged over loudly.


    "Make way! Make way!"


    "Make way for my Big Bro Zuo!"


    "Get lost, you second years!"


    Zuo Zichen brought hisckeys, swaggering arrogantly wherever he went.


    Of course they came looking for his sister to cheer Quan Jie on!


    But before they could get close, they encountered Wei Shixu.


    Zuo Zichen snapped to attention on the spot and greeted, "Bro Wei."


    Wei Shixu: "Scram."


    "Yes sir, Bro!" Zuo Zichen immediately led hisckeys around, intending to go to Quan Zhisui from another direction.


    But Wei Shixu''s voice rang out again: "Scram farther away."


    Having said that, he walked straight forward into the crowd of 10th Grade ss 1.


    Quan Zhisui was also there.


    Zuo Zichen was a bit distressed. He wanted to go see his sister, but Wei Shixu wouldn''t let him get close!


    Why?

 Chapter 49: The Vigorous Vitality Born to the Sun

    <h4>Chapter 49</h4>


    Quan Zhisui stretched for a full half hour, pulling muscles and joints, pressing extremely hard until her tendons werepletely soft and her bones totally rxed.


    The other girls stopped paying attention because she stretched for so long, just repeating the same few moves endlessly, pressing and pulling without stopping.


    They chatted idly nearby as the roll call began and Quan Zhisui started taking off her jacket. The girls hurried over to help her with her clothes.


    But then a hand reached out, "Don''t touch my clothes."


    The camouge jacket was taken away, along with Quan Zhisui''s school uniform pants.


    The girls'' expressions froze in shock as they nced at Wei Shixu, then back at Quan Zhisui.


    Quan Zhisui''s jacket was Wei Shixu''s?


    Wei Shixu''s?!


    Zhou Chun tugged at his sleeve. He had been so angry he threw away the whole jacket, but now he gave his own jacket to Quan Zhisui to wear?


    You two definitely aren''t dating!


    But before they could get over their shock, they were dumbfounded again as they looked to the side.


    Quan Zhisui was now wearing shorts and a sleeveless top, revealing limbs she didn''t often show in public.


    She was tall and thin like a bamboo pole in clothes.


    But taking them off--


    My god!


    What an amazing figure!


    Especially as she tried a starting position, arms straight with exertion, the tendons at her wrists stretched taut, tightening all the muscles in her arms.


    And her legs!


    She rarely wore shorts above her knees, revealing remarkably long achilles tendons.


    Quan Zhisui''s achilles tendons were so long, making her calves ruler straight and terrifyingly unnatural.


    Further up were her powerful thighs.


    The lines were amazing!


    "Pfft--"


    One girl lifted her head and yelled, "Ah! My nose is bleeding!"


    More confusion and chaos ensued.


    Quan Zhisui was very puzzled. How could anyone get a nosebleed?


    It wasn''t even a hot day!


    Luckily she only tried the position briefly before standing properly again, or more girls might have had nosebleeds.


    An inner martial arts characteristic is that when rxed, the practitioner is no different from ordinary people. Quan Zhisui''s rxed state didn''t reveal anything.


    Not far away, Wei Shixu stood motionless, unable to take his eyes off her.


    He had seen her forearms that first day in the cafeteria, but it was his first time seeing her calves.


    At a nce he estimated her achilles tendons were 22 cm long.


    This was terrifying!


    She wasn''t very tall, and was female, yet had world-ss athlete-level achilles tendons!


    How high could she jump? Could she jump a whole floor?


    She could definitely dunk.


    Wei Shixu''s thoughts ran wild as he really wanted to see.


    Quan Zhisui put on her participant number 0149, then went to the track and got in the starting position.


    Next to her was Ling Ruoyun from ss 9, number 0930. She wore professional athletic clothes and shoes. Nearly 1.73 meters tall, she hopped and jumped in ce.


    "Ling Ruoyun! Go for it! Ling Ruoyun! Go for it!"


    There was already cheering before they even started running.


    Ling Ruoyun raised her hand high and waved brightly and confidently, "Leave the school sports meet to me!"


    She was a sports specialty student, a national level 2 athlete.


    The teacher signaled to get ready. The contestants all got in starting position with hands on the ground.


    Ling Ruoyun was no exception, feeling no pressure since she was the only sports specialty student amongpetitors.


    She was guaranteed to win!


    Until she casually nced over and saw Quan Zhisui next to her.


    Ling Ruoyun: "!!!"


    First she was drawn to Quan Zhisui''s hand backs pressed to the ground, then inevitably looked at her wrists, forearms, and shoulders, before hurriedly checking out Quan Zhisui''s lower body.


    Seeing those sculpted thigh muscles and terrifying achilles tendon length, Ling Ruoyun was already scared silly.


    Where did this monstere from?!


    Just then the starting pistol sounded.


    Begin!


    Bang--


    Quan Zhisui shot forward!


    Yes, shot!


    With 22 cm achilles tendons, her calves had extremely strong jumping power. She had already secretly exerted force in starting position, thenunched like a cannonball the instant the gun sounded!


    Ling Ruoyun only felt a ''whoosh'' as the 0149petitor pulled far ahead.


    Moreover, startled by her earlier, Ling Ruoyun''s emotions were unstable and she reacted a beatte at the start. Usually she would be calm, able to catch up a second behind others.


    But now there was a monster in thepetition...


    This was a long distance run, but Quan Zhisui ran it like a sprint, sprinting at full power the entire way!


    17 years of martial arts left her muscles and tendons incredibly strong, driving her forward powerfully without fading, energy continually exploding to the max!


    She ran faster and faster, faster and faster!


    Overflowing with vigorous vitality facing the sun!!


    Wei Shixu''s gaze uncontrobly fixed on her, following her.


    She was now a beautiful sight on the track, shocking everyone.


    At this moment Wei Shixu finally understood what Quan Zhisui was like.


    She was a tornado!


    Sweeping through the sky, also sweeping through his inner world, devastatingly stirring it upside down!


    Then rebooting! Forced reboot!


    The ss 9 girls cheered desperately for Ling Ruoyun. The ss 1 girlscked momentum at first, but seeing Quan Zhisui far in the lead,


    they went wild! Their cheering drowned out ss 9!


    "Quan Zhisui! Go for it!"


    "Ahhh! Quan Zhisui!!!"


    "Quan Zhisui ah!!!!"


    They went crazy, screaming wildly, scaring several boys nearby.


    Wei Shixu even backed off several meters, covering his ears.


    He used to think the girls in his ss were pretty quiet...


    At the same time, the freshmen were also shouting.


    Zuo Zichen didn''t know why Wei Shixu suddenly told him to ''get lost'' and note near. He didn''t dare provoke Wei Shixu, but he still had to cheer for Quan Zhisui!


    Otherwise she might beat him up!


    So he could only lead hisckeys in cheering Quan Zhisui from the other side.


    "Sis! Go for it!!!"


    "Quan sis, go for it! Kill it!"


    "Quan sis is this badass? Damn!"


    "Quan sis is too fierce!"


    "Quan sis kill kill kill!"


    "..."


    Athletes have extraordinarypetitive spirit. Ling Ruoyun reacted half a beat slow at the start, so she went all out trying to catch up!


    But number 0149 was a total monster, sprinting the long distance run like a short sprint at full power the entire way!


    Ling Ruoyun ran until she nearly spit blood trying to catch up!


    As expected, Quan Zhisui took first ce by a wide margin, not only leading the other runners by half ap, but also beating the sports specialty student Ling Ruoyun by over 10 meters!


    When Ling Ruoyun came in second, she nearly had a mental copse. She really didn''t need to push herself this hard in past school sports meets.


    She didn''t expect there was someone like this hidden in the school. Howe she''d never heard of her before?


    Meanwhile, Quan Zhisui was surrounded by the ss 1 girls, shrieking and handing her towels.


    The ss 9 girls also hurried over to give Ling Ruoyun things.


    Ling Ruoyun was tall and peered over the girls'' heads toward ss 1.


    Was she imagining things? Why did she feel like number 0149 wasn''t tired at all?

 Chapter 50: He Bought It

    <h4>Chapter 50</h4>


    Ling Ruoyun came in second ce and pursed her lips, saying to everyone, "I''m sorry, I started running slowly."


    The girls from ss 9 quicklyforted her.


    "It''s okay! We all saw it."


    "Just make it to the finals, and you''ll definitely get first ce!"


    "Go, Ling Ruoyun!"


    "You are the pride of our ss 9!"


    "..."


    "Yeah," Ling Ruoyun responded, still staring intently at ss 1''s runner, 0149.


    Quan Zhisui felt apetitive gaze and when she turned her head, she met the eyes of 0930.


    It was the runner-up, and there was a strong desire to win in her eyes!


    After taking a short break, Ling Ruoyun took a sip of water from a bottle and walked over.


    "I''m Ling Ruoyun, what''s your name?" she asked.


    "Quan Zhisui."


    Ling Ruoyun nodded and said earnestly, "Quan Zhisui, I will beat you in the finals."


    Quan Zhisui quickly replied, "That''s not possible."


    She was joking. She used to race with deer in the mountains!


    She remembered one time when she caught up with a deer, intending to carry it back and eat it, but then her master scolded her.


    "I will definitely beat you!" Ling Ruoyun left these words and walked away.


    Quan Zhisui made her anxious. Ling Ruoyun had made her run faster!


    The long-distance race finals were in the afternoon, and after a short rest, Quan Zhisui took her race number and went to another event.


    She didn''t just sign up for the long-distance race. After working up a good sweat, she registered for the long jump, short sprints, and the 100-meter hurdles!


    Wei Shixu followed her with her school jacket and made a phone call along the way.


    Apanied by students from ss 1, not only the girls but also many boys came after hearing the news, cheering Quan Zhisui on together.


    Ling Ruoyun originally nned to go back to the ssroom to rest and prepare for the afternoon finals.


    But unexpectedly, as soon as she lifted her foot to leave, she saw Quan Zhisui standing on the track for the short sprints.


    Ling Ruoyun: "???"


    What''s going on! She''s doing both long-distance and short sprints?


    What''s this person doing!


    Doesn''t she need to rest?


    Ling Ruoyun decided to stay where she was and watch Quan Zhisui''s short sprint. Then she saw Quan Zhisuipletely overwhelming a sports specialist from ss 8.


    That girl was a short sprinter, but she burst into tears on the spot afterparing with Quan Zhisui!


    She really couldn''t take it!


    With Quan Zhisui''s long Achilles tendon, she had a significant advantage in short sprints, not to mention that she had clearly undergone intense systematic training.


    This time, she didn''t hold back and gave her all!


    Ling Ruoyun: "..."


    Monster!


    After watching the short sprint race, Ling Ruoyun was ready to leave again, but not long after, she saw Quan Zhisui carrying her race number and going up again.


    This time, it was the 400-meter hurdles.


    Ling Ruoyun: "???"


    What is this person doing!


    Who participates in long-distance running, short sprints, and hurdles one after another!


    When she saw Quan Zhisui win first ce in the hurdles, leaving a group of girls in her wake, Ling Ruoyun quickly went to the girls from ss 1 to ask.


    "How many events did Quan Zhisui sign up for?"


    Please tell her quickly. She urgently wants to know!


    One girl spoke up, "Three."


    Ling Ruoyun let out a sigh of relief and then left the scene. She had to go back and prepare herself. The afternoon finals were her chance to give it her all!


    This was no ordinary school sports event; it was the most intensepetition of her career!


    Quan Zhisui, drenched in sweat afterpleting the three events, had his clothes soaked. The girls were worried that she might catch a cold. Even the ss monitor, Zhuge Ying, ran over from the distant podium.


    "Are you ready to change your clothes?" Zhuge Ying was startled when she saw Quan Zhisui in that state.


    She definitely needed to take a shower. It was autumn now, and she couldn''t wear such damp clothes.


    Quan Zhisui, smiling and shaking her head, said, "It''s alright, monitor."


    It had been a long time since she engaged in such intense exercise. This time, she expelled all the umted impurities from her body in one breath, feeling light and full of energy.


    Zhuge Ying was anxious. "How can you say it''s alright? Wait for me, I''ll borrow clothes for you, and then we''ll find a girls'' dormitory for you to shower!"


    A group of girls eagerly raised their hands.


    At that moment, Wei Shixu approached, carrying several bags and handed them over. "Bought them," he said.


    He had noticed it after Quan Zhisui finished the long-distance run and called someone to buy the clothes. There was no time to buy anything from a good brand, so he bought something nearby.


    Quan Zhisui stood there, momentarily forgetting to take the bags.


    Wei Shixu continued, extending the bags forward. "I put your school uniform inside."


    Quan Zhisui took them, there were many bags.


    Wei Shixu then asked, "Do you still want that windbreaker?"


    Quan Zhisui replied, "Ah..."


    Wei Shixu said, "You look good in it."


    Wearing it for two consecutive days, and it didn''t feel too big. It was quite pitiful.


    Quan Zhisui asked, "Should I wash it and return it to you?"


    Wei Shixu raised an eyebrow. "It''s up to you."


    Zhuge Ying''s eyes nearly popped out. When did Wei Shixu go buy clothes? How did he know that Quan Zhisui didn''t have clothes to change into?


    After Wei Shixu handed over the clothes, he left. In the distance, Kong Mingze finished the high jump and was shouting and looking for him to have a meal together!


    Quan Zhisui was suddenly surrounded by the girls, urging her to change clothes quickly, worried that she might catch a cold.


    Zhuge Ying borrowed a key to a girls'' dormitory and took her to shower.


    On the way, Zhuge Ying suddenly remembered something. "Zhisui, do you need to change that too?"


    Quan Zhisui replied, "..."


    Yes, she was covered in sweat, and she needed to change not only her T-shirt.


    Zhuge Ying nced at her and asked, "What size do you wear? I''ll go out and buy a set during lunch break."


    Quan Zhisui nodded. "Okay, but let me wring this out first."


    After the two arrived at the girls'' dormitory, Quan Zhisui went to take a shower while Zhuge Ying helped her unpack the clothes.


    When she finished showering and came out, she saw Zhuge Ying looking at her with aplex expression.


    "What''s wrong?" Quan Zhisui asked.


    Zhuge Ying said, "He bought them."


    "Huh?" Quan Zhisui hadn''t realized what she was talking about.


    Zhuge Ying took out the sports bra that was pressed at the bottom of the bag. "He not only bought one, but he bought two sets."


    Quan Zhisui said, "..."


    Zhuge Ying said, "He even thought about the fact that you would be sweating in the afternoon."


    She never expected this. Quan Zhisui, the athletic type, would sweat profusely from such physical activity. Morning preliminaries and afternoon finals required changing clothes twice.


    Zhuge Ying said with a speechless expression, "He even bought you other clothes, all in-season autumn outfits. That''s why there were so manyrge bags."


    Quan Zhisui was stunned.


    She had nned to wait for Zuo Zhiyu toe back and give her money to buy clothes. Who knew that instead of her biological father''s money for clothes, she received clothes from Wei Shixu.


    Wei Shixu didn''t know her size, and she usually looked very thin, which was deceiving.


    As a result, some of the clothes were slightly small, but she could still wear them. At least they weren''t as oversized as a military uniform.


    He noticed yesterday that she was cold, and today he noticed that she had no clothes to wear?


    Because it happened to be five sets, a week''s worth.


    Zhuge Ying shook her head. "I don''t know if I should say he''s meticulous or terrifying."


    Quan Zhisui replied, "Terrifyingly meticulous."


    Fortunately, this kind of terror had some margin for error. If the clothes he bought were precisely sized, it wouldn''t just be terrifying, it would be horrifying.


    "Go ahead and try them on," Zhuge Ying picked one and handed it over. "Anyway, he''s really rich."


    And...


    His special treatment towards her was so obvious!


    Quan Zhisui didn''t know much about Wei Shixu''s wealth, only that he had ten thousand on his meal card and his family owned limited edition cars.


    "He''s so rich?" she casually asked, "Is he richer than the Zuo family?"


    Zhuge Ying replied, "ording to Kong Mingze, he donated money to renovate the school dormitory buildings, just for the convenience of his own schooling."


    Quan Zhisui asked, "He donated it?"


    Zhuge Ying nodded. "Yes, he donated it, not his family."

 Chapter 51: Wudang Zi Nian, Polite

    <h4>Chapter 51</h4>


    After changing clothes, Quan Zhisui went to have lunch with Zhuge Ying. They had exerted themselves a lot today, so she indulged in tworge portions of rice and enough dishes for two people.


    Feeling full, they returned to the ssroom.


    Subconsciously, Quan Zhisui looked towards the first row of seats and noticed Wei Shixu was absent.


    Zhuge Ying whispered, "Tsk tsk, such a great favor. If it were me, I wouldn''t know how to express my gratitude."


    Quan Zhisui remained silent.


    She sat back in her own seat and was immediately surrounded by a group of girls, with several curious heads peering from the outer circle.


    They all spoke at once, brimming with curiosity.


    "Quan Zhisui! You''re amazing! How can you run so fast?"


    "Do you realize that you beat all the athletes with special skills?"


    "So cool! Do we have an athlete in our ss too?"


    "Quan Zhisui seems more formidable than the athletes. Do you want to be an athlete? I think you''re better than them!"


    "But don''t athletes have to transfer to another ss?"


    "Where did you go to school before? Are you really not a student with special athletic abilities?"


    "..."


    With so many people, the questions poured in all at once.


    Quan Zhisui exined, "I used to attend a martial arts school, so I can''t be considered an athlete. I was a martial arts student."


    But that''s no longer the case. Her scumbag father forcefully took over as her guardian and stuffed her into this ordinary high school.


    The girls heard about martial arts students for the first time, which made them even more curious and excited!


    "And there are martial arts students?!"


    "What is a martial arts school? Are there schools like that?"


    "I''ve never heard of it before!"


    "Where is the martial arts school?"


    "..."


    Quan Zhisui answered, "Yes, traditional martial arts. The martial arts school is located in the mountains of Yunyang."


    Someone asked, "Mountains? Isn''t there a famous mountain in Yunyang?"


    Quan Zhisui nodded, "Wudang Mountain. I attended a martial arts school in Wudang Mountain and grew up in a martial arts academy since I was young."


    The girls let out another round of screams!


    "Ah! Wudang Mountain?!"


    "There''s a martial arts school in Wudang Mountain?"


    "Ah! I thought it was something from novels. It actually exists?"


    "What does the head of the martial arts school in Wudang Mountain look like?"


    "Do you have a master? Did you go through a formal apprenticeship? Is it the kind of formal ceremony for apprenticeship?"


    "..."


    Seeing their exploding curiosity, Quan Zhisui smiled and performed a fist salute.


    "Zinan, the 16th disciple of Wudang Sanfeng Sect, pays respects!"


    The whole ssroom fell silent for a moment.


    A gentle breeze brushed against the window, lifting Quan Zhisui''s hair, causing her ponytail to sway gently.


    The warm sunlight poured in, making her amber eyes shine brightly!


    She wasn''t wearing a professional martial arts training uniform, just a simple white sportswear, but she looked like a character stepped out of a novel.


    The spirit of a chivalrous hero was embodied in this fist salute!


    She had a sect, a master, and martial brothers.


    Embarking on the path of martial arts!


    At the entrance.


    Wei Shixu nced up and saw this scene. His gaze pierced through the diagonals of the ssroom, fixed on those bright amber eyes.


    No words could describe the emotions in that moment.


    The desire for tranquility was interrupted by an unstoppable wind.


    The wind that blew was a whirlwind!


    He decided not to wait any longer.


    Finally...


    The ssroom exploded!


    This time, not only the girls but also the boys who were eavesdropping were screaming.


    "Ah, ah, ah! Ah, ah!"


    "Zi Nian, the 16th generation disciple of the Wudang Sanfeng Sect! Show some respect!"


    "So handsome! So incredibly handsome!"


    "He''s stunning!"


    "Zi Nian, show some respect!!!"


    "This is how you should have introduced yourself on your first day of transfer, Quan Zhisui!"


    "And add something else! Super skilled at fighting!"


    The children went crazy, shouting and jumping around in the ssroom.


    The noise reached the neighboring ss 2, and many people came out to the hallway to see what was happening.


    "What''s ss 1 going crazy about?"


    At that moment, the girl closest to Quan Zhisui spoke up: "Zhisui, can I see your abs? You must have abs, right?"


    She was the one who had a nosebleed on the yground earlier. Her face turned red as she spoke, her eyes shining like a deer, filled with anticipation.


    "Sure!"


    Quan Zhisui lifted his shirt directly.


    "Ah¡ª"


    "Ah, ah, ah!"


    "Look at those abs!"


    "I can''t even! I just can''t!"


    The girls went crazy again, their eyes filled with desire.


    Do you know how popr this martial arts student is in our ss?


    And he''s so fit! Lean and muscr!


    In the hallway...


    Kong Mingze, holding four cups of milk tea, rushed over, asking anxiously, "What''s going on? What''s happening? I could hear themotion from far away. What happened?"


    Then he saw the group of girls still screaming wildly.


    Kong Mingze put down the milk tea, covered his ears, and looked at the people next to him, asking, "What''s wrong with them?!"


    Wei Shixu, with a cold face,mented sharply, "They''re in heat."


    He nced at Quan Zhisui''s exposed waist and abs, his eyes quickly shifting away as if he had been scalded.


    So many people, and there are still boys in the ss.


    She said she would lift it, so she did.


    ...


    There was no afternoon break on the day of the school sports meet.


    After resting for a while after lunch, Quan Zhisui nned to go to the sports field to watch other events and warm up for the finals.


    It was a perfect sunny day, not too cold.


    She put her school uniform on the desk and walked out wearing the long-sleeved sports attire that Wei Shixu had bought for her, stretching her muscles and joints in her back as she walked.


    Feelingfortable!


    Quan Zhisui was no longer the same as before. Wherever she went, she was surrounded by many girls. Even when she walked out of the ssroom, it was a grand procession.


    Just as she came out, she ran into Zuo Zichen.


    He had bought snacks and brought his little brothers to the second-floor corridor. When he saw Quan Zhisuiing with a group of girls, Zuo Zichen got excited right away!


    He shouted, "Sis! Are you now the queen of Liang Secondary School?!"


    Quan Zhisui: "..."


    The little brothers saluted in unison, "Hello, Queen Quan!"


    Zuo Zichen had a good idea. He would be the king among the boys, and his sister would be the queen among the girls, ruling over Liang Secondary School.


    Quan Zhisui rolled her eyes, "Queen my foot! Stay away from me."


    Zuo Zichen approached with snacks, but when he saw Quan Zhisui''s clothes, he couldn''t help but make a disdainfulment:


    "Sis! Why did you buy this brand of sportswear? When did you buy it? Do you only wear this for running? Although the quality is okay, domestic products are cheaper and not at all professional. Wouldn''t it be embarrassing to wear them outside? Look at the brand on the clothes I''m wearing, it costs several thousand. That''s the kind of outfit a big shot should have!"


    Quan Zhisui didn''t say anything, nor did she ask for snacks. She pushed him away and led the girls downstairs to the yground.


    Zuo Zichen still wanted to catch up, but suddenly his gaze met a pair of deep eyes.


    He stuttered for a moment, standing straight, "Wei! Brother Wei!"


    Wei Shixu''s gaze swept over his clothes, that several thousand yuan outfit.


    He smirked mockingly, "The Zuo family does raise daughters."


    Zuo Zichen was initially confused, but then a thought shed through his mind.


    The Zuo family raises daughters?


    Wait!


    Was that apliment?


    His sister and Wei Shixu were in the same ss. They had gone to eat hot pot together on that weekend and had even cooked together in the cafeteria.


    Could it be that Wei Shixu and his sister...


    Wow!


    Zuo Zichen''s eyes lit up instantly, and he tried to please him, "Of course! Brother Wei, rest assured, my sister is knowledgeable, reasonable, gentle, and considerate. She''s really, really great! She''s good at studying and even knows how to cook..."


    "Don''te to the second floor anymore," Wei Shixu suddenly interrupted him, his face showing no emotion.


    Zuo Zichen was taken aback, "Huh? Why?"


    "You''re annoying."


    With those words, Wei Shixu lifted his foot and walked forward, his eyes chilling as he brushed past him.

 Chapter 52: What are you doing with dimensionality reduction

    <h4>Chapter 52</h4>


    In the afternoon long-distance race finals, all the students from ss 1 were present, and the ssmittee even brought a camera to film the event. The girls even formed a cheerleading squad, practicing their slogans.


    When Quan Zhisui finished warming up, their homeroom teacher, Qian Ya, arrived!


    Qian Ya had heard that Quan Zhisui had beaten all the sports students, so without hesitation, she came to watch thepetition. It would be a great thing if ss 1 could also have a sports student!


    Everyone who made it to the afternoon finals was a sports student, except for Quan Zhisui.


    Most of the talented students in Liangzhong were concentrated in sses 8 and 9, and only a few exceptional students with good grades and talents were allocated to sses 1 to 7.


    sses 8 and 9 had sports students, dance students, music students, but they didn''t have any martial arts students.


    At this moment, there were a lot of students from these two sses on the yground. They often trained orpeted outside, so it was rare for them to gather like this.


    Quan Zhisui was a new face, and most of the sports students present had never seen her before.


    Only Ling Ruoyun watched this scene with great caution, not daring to rx like she did in the morning. She nced at the other sports students.


    They were still chatting andughing,pletely unaware that they were about to encounter a formidable opponent.


    Two minutes before going on stage, Quan Zhisui took off her outer clothes.


    Homeroom teacher Qian Ya reached out and took them directly. "Let me hold your clothes for you. Go for it! Go for it!"


    Qian Ya was almost overwhelmed with excitement!


    Quan Zhisui smiled brightly and stepped onto the stage.


    Instantly, the cheerleading squad from ss 1 started shouting.


    "Quan Zhisui from ss 1! The undefeated martial arts prodigy of Wudang! Invincible! Invincible! Invincible!"


    Then they started shouting "invincible" like crazy, their voices tearing through the air.


    The students from other sses were startled, and the sports students in the finals widened their eyes one by one.


    What''s going on?


    Are the little rookies from ss 1 going crazy?!


    Only Ling Ruoyun stared intently at this scene, her gaze following Quan Zhisui''s every move.


    This time, Quan Zhisui''s race track was next to hers again!


    Quan Zhisui got into position, took a deep breath, exhaled all the air from her mouth, pressed her tongue against her pte, and lightly tapped her teeth.


    Her breathing was steady and prolonged, and her state quickly adjusted to the level of a calm mind.


    She ignored the gazes of the people around her, her eyes focused only on her own track, her senses concentrated on her legs, and the rhythmic shouts in her ears seemed faint, moving away from her.


    Thump! Thump!


    Only her heartbeat remained.


    Beep¡ª


    The whistle sounded!


    Boom¡ª


    Quan Zhisui''s legs burst with energy in an instant!


    What was kicked off was not just the friction between the sole of her shoe and the track, but an endless surge of immense power!


    The ssmittee member from ss 1 captured Quan Zhisui''s moment of explosive takeoff in detail, and almost blurted out ''Holy shit.''


    It seemed like a whirlwind was kicked off by the soles of her shoes?


    Even the gravel was flying!


    Her eyebrows and eyes exuded a heroic spirit, and at the moment the whistle sounded, her eyes burst with an emotion, an invisible energy, particrly dazzling!


    That gaze was incredibly fierce!


    It was like the moment arge carnivorous predator hunts, and also like the fierce battle of a determined victor!


    Even through the screen, it could startle the ssmittee member!


    What did she set her sights on? To burst out such terrifying determination?


    Oh, she set her sights on first ce.


    The desire to treat the school sports meet as a life-or-death battle intensified! Ling Ruoyun put in her utmost effort from the very beginning, this time not falling behind. She and Quan Zhisui simultaneously sprinted out at full speed.


    Although the other participants didn''t start slowly, after a few seconds, they realized something was amiss.


    What are 0149 and 0930 doing?


    Why are they flying?!


    Right from the start, the two of them exerted all their strength, leaving the others trailing behind!


    The other participants were dumbfounded. Wasn''t this supposed to be a long-distance race?


    Are you two treating it like a sprint and giving your all throughout the entire course?!


    Don''t you consider endurance at all?!


    As for whether Quan Zhisui considered endurance or not, Ling Ruoyun didn''t know, but she had made up her mind from the very beginning to unleash the strongestpetitive spirit of an athlete.


    She didn''t want to lose!


    However, as the race progressed, Ling Ruoyun discovered that Quan Zhisui was an absolute monster; she had left her behind by a considerable margin!


    Doesn''t this person experience fatigue?


    How is she maintaining the same speed throughout the entire race?


    From the high-speed start to the middle and even thetter half, she continued to surge forward!


    How can she maintain that level of explosiveness from start to finish?!


    Quan Zhisui''s performance in the afternoon finals was even faster and more intense than in the morning. The girls from ss 1 went crazy, shouting at the top of their lungs.


    Even Qian Ya was screaming like crazy, running alongside the track, desperately cheering for Quan Zhisui,pletely disregarding her teacher''s image!


    Kong Mingze had apetition in the morning and didn''t see Quan Zhisui''s run, but since he didn''t make it to the finals, he came along with the rest of the group to cheer for Quan Zhisui.


    And so, Kong Mingze was left dumbfounded.


    What kind of earth-shatteringpetition was this?


    "Ah! Quan Zhisui, go for it!" He joined in with everyone''s shouts.


    Quan Zhisui''s running was not only terrifyingly fast, but it also had a remarkable sense of power, as if she could knock a cow flying to its death with her impact!


    A human projectile!


    When the rushing wind brushed past everyone, they couldn''t help but want to cheer for her!


    The running girl was full of vitality, with strong and powerful limbs, generating an upward force, as if she wanted to soar up to the sky!


    Destroying everything in her path!


    Wei Shixu stood outside the crowd, silently watching with deep and focused eyes.


    How can I catch up to a tornado?


    "I want to learn martial arts too!!!" Suddenly, a girl shouted, brimming with admiration.


    "Ah! Ah! Quan Zhisui, go for it!" Qian Ya''s scream broke the sound barrier.


    In the final ten meters, Quan Zhisui dashed past with a swift stride, and the people watching beside the track felt as if she had flown past them!


    After finishing the race, Quan Zhisui was surrounded by everyone, thoroughly enjoying the moment.


    She was truly the hero of ss 1!


    Ling Ruoyun remained in second ce, but she had actually broken her own record and left the others far behind.


    However, she was gasping for breath, in stark contrast to Quan Zhisui, who was beaming with a smile in the distance.


    A monster!


    As for the other participants, they were even more disheartened, and afterpleting the race, they all looked towards Quan Zhisui, observing this terrifying human.


    There were too many people around Quan Zhisui from Quanzhi High School. Besides his ssmates, there were several teachers gathered around him.


    Especially his homeroom teacher, Qian Ya, and the physical education teacher. They were both excited as if they had struck gold!


    Wei Shixu was the first to approach Xuangui and said, "Give me a copy of the video."


    Xuangui was still admiring the footage he had just captured and didn''t even look up as he replied, "I''ll just send it to the group chat. Quan Zhisui is so cool!"


    Only then did Xuangui realize something was wrong. He looked up and saw that the person asking for the video was actually Wei Shixu?


    Xuangui was extremely surprised!


    You see, Wei Shixu never participated in or cared about these things.


    ...


    Meanwhile, at Quan Zhisui''s location, Ling Ruoyun approached her once again.


    Ling Ruoyun was disheartened and asked with aplex expression, "I heard you just transferred here, and you''re also an athlete?"


    Quan Zhisui shook her head and replied, "I practice martial arts."


    She used to be.


    Ling Ruoyun immediately felt frustrated and said, "You''re undermining yourself!"


    If you practice martial arts, then go engage in martial artspetitions. Why are you doing track and field?!

 Chapter 53: Mr. Kwon

    <h4>Chapter 53</h4>


    Quan Zhisui was born for sports. She had achieved three first ces and made a remarkable performance at the school sports meet, leaving asting impression on all the athletes.


    Afterward, the homeroom teacher personally took Quan Zhisui to the shower, then to the teachers'' dormitory to clean up, and finally brought her to the office.


    The other teachers in the office gathered around, especially the physical education teacher, who didn''t leave and even brought a chair to sit beside them.


    Qian Ya, with a smile on her face, asked affectionately, "Zhisui, were you an athlete before?"


    Quan Zhisui thought for a moment and replied, "I practiced martial arts."


    Martial arts also falls under the category of sports, so it counts as being an athlete.


    Qian Ya''s eyes lit up as she eagerly asked, "What kind of martial arts do you practice?"


    Quan Zhisui answered, "I can practice any form of martial arts, such as Tai Chi, Xuanwu Fist, Bagua Palm, and other boxing styles. I''m also skilled in using knives, spears, and other weapons, as well asbat techniques."


    Qian Ya jumped up in excitement and eximed, "Oh my! That''s amazing!"


    Quan Zhisui smiled as well. Of course, it was amazing. She had been studying martial arts for over ten years.


    Qian Ya was so thrilled that she even held Quan Zhisui''s hand,posed herself, and said, "Zhisui, here''s the thing. You don''t have to follow the regr path of taking the national college entrance examination. You know, life offers various paths, and with your exceptional athletic talent and the pressure you face in academics, it''s a waste! You should participate inpetitions as a student with special skills, apply to military academies, martial arts schools, or sports universities."


    Quan Zhisui''s smile faded, and she replied, "I know, but my father won''t agree."


    Thinking that it was the parents'' concern about their child''s hardships, Qian Ya continued, "In that case, we can explore another approach. You can still participate inpetitions, but instead of aiming for sports universities, you can earn certificates or something simr. Then, you can gain extra points in the college entrance examination, just like what Wei Shixu did. Do you know Wei Shixu? He has won many awards! By the way, what are the ranks for martial arts athletes?"


    Quan Zhisui answered, "Warrior and Martial Champion. Warrior levels one, two, and three correspond to athletes of the same level, while the Martial Champion level corresponds to outstanding athletes. The International Martial Champion level is equivalent to international top athletes."


    Qian Ya''s eyes sparkled, "You know all this so well. I''m sure you''ve considered it, right? Don''t you want to participate inpetitions? Or maybe martial artspetitions are more dangerous, and you''re afraid of getting injured?"


    Quan Zhisui shook her head, "It''s not about private duels. Most martial artspetitions focus on forms and routines, so they''re not dangerous."


    Confused, Qian Ya asked, "Then why doesn''t your father agree?"


    Quan Zhisui exined, "To participate in the National Martial Arts Championship, there are individual and teampetitions. To achieve the Warrior rank level two or higher, you need to participate in the teampetition."


    Qian Ya understood, "So you don''t have a team?"


    Quan Zhisui replied, "My team is in Yunyang."


    The physical education teacher chimed in, "Our school only has one martial arts student, so it''s difficult to form a team. How about we check with other schools or martial arts associations?"


    Qian Ya looked at Quan Zhisui again and asked, "Why doesn''t your father agree?"


    Quan Zhisui replied, "First, he doesn''t want me to return to Yunyang, and second, he doesn''t want me to participate inpetitions."


    As a minor, whether it''spetitions or taking the special skills path, she needs her guardian''s consent.


    Qian Ya frowned, "In that case, give me your father''s phone number, and I''ll talk to him as a parent."


    The physical education teacher nodded approvingly, "What a talented student! She definitely has a bright future ahead!"


    Quan Zhisui wrote down Zuo Zhiyu''s phone number on the nearby paper.


    Qian Ya gave her a reassuring look. "Don''t worry, you can go back to your ss. The teacher will talk to your father."


    "Okay, thank you, teacher," Quan Zhisui replied.


    If she could really get Zuo Zhiyu''s signature, she wouldn''t have to work so hard in regr high school and could pursue her passion for martial arts to get into a good university.


    After Quan Zhisui left, Qian Ya immediately dialed Zuo Zhiyu''s phone number.


    It was already four o''clock in the afternoon, and Zuo Zhiyu sounded like he had just woken up when he answered the call.


    Qian Ya''s voice carried a friendly tone. "Hello, is this Mr. Quan Zhisui''s father?"


    There was a pause from Zuo Zhiyu''s end, and then he replied, "Yes, what''s the matter?"


    Qian Ya smiled and said, "I am Qian Ya, Quan Zhisui''s homeroom teacher. You see, Quan Zhisui won first ce in three events at the school sports meet. She is a very talented athlete, and our school wants to n a pathway for her as a martial arts specialist. What do you think?"


    Zuo Zhiyu tly refused, "There''s no way I''ll let her get involved in that stuff!"


    Qian Ya tried to persuade him, "Mr. Quan, I understand your concerns, but I just talked to your daughter about it. Martial artspetitions are not dangerous..."


    "What the hell are you talking about!" Zuo Zhiyu interrupted, even using profanity.


    Qian Ya''s face turned dark. "Mr. Quan! This is about your daughter''s future. She can have a better future!"


    "Shut up! You don''t need to meddle in this matter! I will never agree!" Zuo Zhiyu said and hung up the phone.


    "Mr. Quan? Mr. Quan!" Qian Ya couldn''t believe that the call had been disconnected. She was on the verge of exploding.


    The physical education teacher beside her was also shocked. "What kind of parent is he? He wouldn''t even discuss it?"


    Qian Ya was furious and wanted to throw the book. "How can someone like him be a parent? How can he ruin his child''s future like this?"


    The physical education teacher sighed, "No wonder the child said her parents wouldn''t agree. It''s obvious they''ve already had arguments about it."


    Other teachers gathered around.


    "Qian Ya is so angry?"


    "No wonder Quan Zhisui is living with rtives. She''s unlucky to have a father like that."


    "What a pity..."


    "There''s no way around it. We need the parent''s signature. If the guardian doesn''t agree, Quan Zhisui will have to give up on being a specialist."


    "What an unreasonable person! Such a promising talent wasted."


    Qian Ya took a deep breath and calmed herself. "Let''s try tomunicate again in a few days."


    The physical education teacher said, "I don''t think we canmunicate with him. I got excited for nothing."


    Qian Ya replied, "I''ll think of really harsh words to scold him in a few days."


    The physical education teacher said, "..."


    A young and beautiful woman woke up in bed, her eyes widening in fear as she looked at the ss shards on the floor. "Darling, what happened? Who were you talking to on the phone just now?"


    Zuo Zhiyu waved his hand dismissively. "It''s nothing. Go back to sleep. I''m going back to my home country."


    The woman suddenly sat up, a look of reluctance on her face. "Darling, you just came back a few days ago, and now you''re going back? I don''t want that. I want you here with me and our son."


    Zuo Zhiyu patted the woman''s shoulder. "There''s something I need to take care of at thepany. I have to go back."


    The woman sighed. "Fine, but when can our son and I go back to our home country? I really don''t want to stay here. Everything is better in our home country."


    Zuo Zhiyu''s face darkened. "I''ve been working hard in my home country, earning money to bring you and our son here to live, and you''re thinking about going back? It''s a waste of my goodwill!"


    The woman quickly reassured him, "No, darling, I just miss you!"

 Chapter 54: Want to try it with me

    <h4>Chapter 54</h4>


    Although Zuo Zhiyu had given her his phone number, Quan Zhisui didn¡¯t have much hope for Teacher Qian¡¯s proposal. Zuo Zhiyu didn¡¯t care at all about her future. The fact that he had readily agreed to let her be a special talent student was proof enough. Forcibly transferring her from the martial arts school to Liangzhong Middle School said it all.


    She could only go on as usual and try her best.


    It was just past 4pm now. The school sports meet still hadn¡¯t ended, so students with nothing to do were in the ssroom doing homework or chatting.


    Kong Mingze and Zhuge Ying were sitting in the front row drinking milk tea, leaning their heads together as theyughed and chatted about who knows what fun thing.


    Meanwhile, Wei Shixu was sitting in thest row in Kong Mingze¡¯s seat.


    When Quan Zhisui returned to her seat, she pulled and twisted at her shoulders.


    This little action was keenly noticed by Wei Shixu.


    ¡°Too tight?¡± he asked.


    Quan Zhisui: ¡°...¡±


    Awkward. But it really was too tight.


    Wei Shixu tilted his head slightly, dropping his gaze for a quick nce.


    Did she buy a size too small?


    What size was that...


    A sh of indiscernible meaning shone in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth also curved up as he said, ¡°Let¡¯s go out this weekend. I¡¯ll get you new ones.¡±


    Nice ones, expensive ones, pretty ones.


    Quan Zhisui was even more embarrassed. Lowering her head, she said, ¡°No need, thanks. I¡¯ll buy them myself.¡±


    Today Wei Shixu had helped out tremendously. Now Quan Zhisui agreed with Kong Mingze¡¯s words¡ªsometimes he really was the best person in the whole world.


    Wei Shixu turned to face her directly. ¡°You buying them yourself, or are you still going with that idiot brother of yours?¡±


    His gaze carried some oppressive force, as well as dissatisfaction.


    Quan Zhisui: ¡°He has more pocket money. I¡¯ll use his money to buy them.¡±


    Her meaning was that she would indeed be going with Zuo Zichen.


    Wei Shixu leaned back against his chair somewhat unhappily. ¡°How much pocket money does he have?¡±


    Quan Zhisui: ¡°50,000.¡±


    Wei Shixu seemed to scoff. ¡°I have 5 million. Come with me.¡±


    Quan Zhisui looked at him instantly. ¡°How much?!¡±


    Just then, Kong Mingze raised his hand from the front row. ¡°I can confirm what he said is true. And it¡¯s probably even more than that.¡±


    Quan Zhisui was shocked!


    5 million, not 500!


    Kong Mingze raised his hand again to add, ¡°When he was 13 he already had 5 million. I saw it with my own eyes!¡±


    Yeah, given to him.


    Felt awesome, going straight from a poverty-stricken household to opening a hot pot restaurant!


    Quan Zhisui was so shocked her eyeballs bulged out!


    Wei Shixu''s eyes heldughter. It was as if he had found a breakthrough. He asked, "You like money, don''t you?"


    Quan Zhisui thought for a moment, then after two seconds of silence said, "There''s no one in this world who doesn''t like money."


    Wei Shixu raised a brow. "What a coincidence. You like something that I just happen to have a lot of."


    Quan Zhisui: "..."


    Wei Shixu stared at her. "Want to try it out? Come with me."


    You know what he was implying.


    Quan Zhisui: "..."


    Kong Mingze wedged himself between the two of them. "Hey, take me too!"


    Hearing they were going shopping over the weekend, he also wanted to go out and have fun.


    Wei Shixu shot him a strange look. "Can you really not tell what I''m doing?"


    He was pursuing Quan Zhisui, idiot! What are you trying to butt in for!


    Kong Mingze had a foolish look on his face. "I know! You''re making friends. I''m also Zhisui''s friend, and your good buddy at the same time. Let''s all go together!"


    Seeing that Wei Shixu was willing to make new friends, Kong Mingze was incredibly happy!


    Wei Shixu gave up on him and left.


    Quan Zhisui almostughed at the interruption. The previously somewhat tense atmosphere instantly rxed.


    Just now she had been rendered speechless by Wei Shixu''s questions, link by link, without even realizing what was happening.


    ...


    After school, Quan Zhisui carried her bags and bags of clothes onto the car.


    Zuo Zichen was at her sideining again. "Sis! Those clothes aren''t worth what you paid! Why''d you buy so many?"


    Quan Zhisui: "Shut up."


    Just thinking about it made her angry. She had nearly frozen to death.


    What was wrong with these clothes? They were the fastest clothes Wei Shixu could buy! Aside from being a bit tight, they were perfect!


    When she got home...


    Xu Zhiyi smiled as she came up to greet her. "You''re back?"


    She still had that demure appearance, except there were obvious dark circles under her eyes.


    Quan Zhisui found it strange. In the past few days she hadn''t even said "good morning" to Xu Zhiyi, so how could she have dark circles?


    Xu Zhiyi didn''t dare make eye contact with Quan Zhisui, afraid she would notice something. After the greeting she rushed straight for Zuo Zichen, caring for her precious son.


    Quan Zhisui was toozy to have much interaction with this stepmother either. She went back to her room and put away the clothes one by one in the closet. These big closets finally had a few scattered pieces of clothing in them.


    In the bag she saw that ck tactical jacket.


    Quan Zhisui''s hands paused. Did he still want it?


    She put away the clothes, went downstairs to eat, then did her homework.


    That night...


    Quan Zhisui had a nightmare.


    She dreamed that Wei Shixu was staring at her, staring and staring until his eyes were scorching hot. Not only did they burn her, but he even pushed her into a corner and bit her!


    Quan Zhisui woke up with a fright!


    Looking at her phone, it was 3:30 AM.


    Right then, a message came in.


    [Fang Yue: Back in the country, on my way home]


    Quan Zhisui was still startled, and it wasn''t until the message was retracted two minutester that she reacted.


    Zuo Zhiyu was on his way back, and these past few days he had even gone abroad for work!


    Quan Zhisui couldn''t fall back asleep now, so she simply got up, got dressed, and went out to the yard to practice her fundamentals.


    She kept at it until sunrise, then Quan Zhisui went to take a shower covered in sweat before preparing to eat breakfast.


    Ma Xinwei had also gotten up at dawn, grumbling as he prepared a feast for Zuo Zhiyu. He felt like the man of the house really had a problem, exploiting the chef, making him get up to cook no matter the time.


    And so when Quan Zhisui came downstairs, Zuo Zhiyu was sitting there eating.


    The instant Zuo Zhiyu saw her, his face even twisted bitterly, but very quickly he put on a smiling expression. "Zhisui my dear, daddy''s precious daughter is up so early?"


    Quan Zhisui: "You''re back, give me money."


    After saying that, she pulled out a chair and sat down to eat.


    Anger shed through Zuo Zhiyu''s eyes. "Zhisui dear, the family''s money doesn''t blow in with the wind. It''s earned through daddy''s hard work. And didn''t daddy give you moneyst month?"


    Quan Zhisui: "That was for food expenses. This time I want to buy clothes."


    Zuo Zhiyu picked up a napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth. "How much do you need?"


    Quan Zhisui: "100,000."


    Zuo Zhiyu frowned. "Your brother only gets 50,000 a month. You can''t ask for that much."


    Quan Zhisui: "Then I want the same as my brother."


    Zuo Zhiyu took a deep breath. "Zhisui dear..."


    "20,000, annoying." Quan Zhisui didn''t have time to haggle with him.


    Zuo Zhiyu: "How about this, daddy will buy whatever clothes you need, but it''s not good for a girl to have too much money on her."


    Quan Zhisui looked up at him, and suddenlyughed.


    He was afraid of what she would do with money in hand. His guard was raised this much.


    In the end, she didn''t manage to get any money from Zuo Zhiyu. It seemed she really could only exploit Zuo Zichen.


    Quan Zhisui went to school early, arriving at 6:30 AM.


    As she walked from the gates to the ssroom building, stepping up the stairs one by one, she kept thinking about what had happened that morning. Zuo Zhiyu''s secrets ran deep, but luckily Fang Yue was gravitating more and more towards her side.


    After going up to the second floor, Quan Zhisui lowered her head to round the corner and walk forward, but her peripheral vision caught something.


    She suddenly sprang up like a startled cat, jumping far away!


    In the corner...


    Wei Shixu held a cup of soy milk in his hand, lookingpletely baffled.

 Chapter 55: Do You Like Me

    <h4>Chapter 55</h4>


    ¡°What are you doing?¡± Wei Shixu asked.


    Was he a ghost or tiger that could frighten you like this?


    You don''t seem to be a timid person, do you?


    Quan Zhisui took another step back again, her whole body seemed startled, then circled around far away, sticking to the railing as far as possible to pass Wei Shixu from the farthest range.


    It''s this corner!


    In her dreamst night!


    Wei Shixu was even more puzzled, watching her back, and looking at the soy milk in his hand again.


    Damn it?


    Quan Zhisui walked quickly into the ssroom and sat down. Since she came very early, ss 1 was still empty. She took out her textbooks and homework and started doing problems frantically.


    Trying to get the picture out of her head.


    Unexpectedly, five minutester, Wei Shixu, who had finished breakfast, walked past from the front row.


    Bang!


    Quan Zhisui jumped up again, jumping very high, to a ce two meters away.


    But Wei Shixu just came over to throw trash...


    Even Wei Shixu couldn''t helpughing. She really looked like a frightened, hair-raised cat.


    Just as he was about to speak...


    "Don''t talk to me!" Quan Zhisui suddenly took the lead, then made a please gesture: "You, go back, go back to your seat."


    He looked at her once before leaving, and his eyes were a little more yful now.


    Quan Zhisui watched him sit back in the front row before returning to her seat again. She still looked back at the corner behind her in fear.


    Now when she sees that corner, she gets scared!


    Wei Shixu sat diagonally from her in the front row position, sitting sideways and looking over.


    Quan Zhisui was keenly aware. Her writing paused for a moment, then she lowered her head to continue writing.


    Don''t look up! Don''t look!


    "Quan Zhisui." Wei Shixu spoke.


    At this time there were only two people in the ssroom, and his voice was clear and audible.


    Quan Zhisui still did not look up, but she almost crushed the pen in her hand!


    "What did you dream about yesterday?" he asked.


    Quan Zhisui: "!!!"


    At this moment she waspletely copsed and crazy as well.


    How did he guess that she had a dream?


    He could even guess this?!


    Suddenly a voice sounded at the door: "Oh! Quan Zhisui from Wudang came so early today?"


    Quan Zhisui heaved a sigh of relief and shouted loudly: "Yeah! Got up early!"


    Then a few more ssmates came in one after another, and finally there were people in the ssroom.


    Quan Zhisuipletely rxed and continued to do the problems.


    The phone vibrated, and she subconsciously took it out to take a look, she couldn''t miss it if it was from Fang Yue.


    Unexpectedly, the line of big words on the screen shocked her pupils!


    [Wei Shixu: Do you like me? Quan Zhisui.]


    The tone was very Wei Shixu, paused as if asking right next to her ear.


    "Ah!!! Ah!!!"


    Quan Zhisui exploded! She screamed and almost threw the phone away!


    Several chatting ssmates in the ss were surprised and looked back.


    "What''s wrong?"


    "Is there a bug?"


    "You scared me, but your lung capacity is great, you shouted so loudly!"


    "......"


    "Nothing nothing." Quan Zhisui quickly calmed down.


    She was afraid someone would see her phone, so she turned it off and threw it back in her backpack.


    Wei Shixu is crazy!!!


    She doesn''t like him! Don''t like! Don''t like!


    In the front row seat by the window, Wei Shixu sat sideways with his back against the wall, his gaze unabashedly shooting over, observing her.


    His eyes were even more yful, smiling and secretly delighted!


    Such a big reaction?


    Wei Shixu was certain she had a dream, and the content was rted to him, otherwise with Quan Zhisui''s previous attitude and responsiveness, it would have been impossible for her to jump up in shock just because he gave her some clothes and asked her directly.


    Interesting.


    What exactly did she dream about?


    ......


    Quan Zhisui was in a trance all morning, and she almost didn''t hear the lesson. Fortunately, her strong will to resist Zuo Zhiyu allowed her to takeplete ss notes without missing anything.


    "You don''t actually have to get everything down," Wei Shixu said as he walked over and pulled Kong Mingze''s chair next to hers.


    Quan Zhisui instantly tensed up!


    Wei Shixu took away her notebook, picked up the pen and circled several parts: "Keep these, don''t need these, rearrange it."


    Quan Zhisui: "......"


    Wei Shixu leaned over and asked, "Why haven''t you asked me for tutoring recently?"


    Quan Zhisui: "I asked the ss monitor."


    Wei Shixu: "Her grades aren''t as good as mine."


    Quan Zhisui let out an awkwardugh.


    Zhuge Ying, who had just walked over, happened to hear this. She turned around and yelled out to the hallway: "Kong Mingze! Come in!"


    It scared Kong Mingze into jogging over: "What''s up? What''s up? Huh?"


    Zhuge Ying: "I''m going to tutor you!"


    Kong Mingze: "......"


    Heavens! Who did he provoke?


    Just then, the student sitting in front of Quan Zhisui came back from the bathroom and sat down...


    "Switch seats with me," Wei Shixu suddenly said.


    The front row ssmate rubbed his ears in disbelief and asked, "What?"


    Wei Shixu pointed to his own desk: "You take the front row, the position with the best lighting, most convenient for watching your phone without the teacher catching you."


    The front row ssmate was shocked!


    Quan Zhisui just watched the two of them switch desks and swap seats, watching Wei Shixu sit in front of her after just one ss break.


    Quan Zhisui: "......"


    No, how did things develop like this?


    Next was math ss.


    The homeroom teacher Qian Ya walked in and saw that Wei Shixu had changed seats. She just froze for a moment but didn''t stop him.


    This made Quan Zhisui''s mood gradually numb. She realized one thing - Wei Shixu was truly unbridled at Liang Secondary School.


    Kong Mingze was the happiest. He was closer to Wei Shixu now, and could chat endlessly and throw paper airnes during ss.


    But you two y on your phones during ss, so why do you still need to throw paper airnes?


    Every cell in Quan Zhisui''s body was resisting!


    Fortunately, Wei Shixu didn''t do anything weird, and he seemed to be in a good mood. When he was in a good mood, he would speak and act normally, chatting andughing with Kong Mingze more often. Every break he would turn around and tell Quan Zhisui the key points of the ss just now.


    Quan Zhisui felt like her brain was enlightened, and herprehension skills had skyrocketed!


    This seemed to provoke Zhuge Ying. She burst into the office during lunch break.


    "Teacher Qian!" Zhuge Ying yelled loudly and immediately spoke as she entered: "I want to change seats."


    At this moment, Qian Ya''s mood was even more explosive than Quan Zhisui''s. She stared and asked: "Why?! The seats in the ss are arranged ording to test scores. As ss monitor, you should lead by example. How can you just say you want to change seats? Let''s talk about it next semester!"


    Zhuge Ying said seriously: "Wei Shixu is tutoring Quan Zhisui so he changed seats to help her take notes of key points every ss break. I''m tutoring Kong Mingze but I have to walk the length of the ssroom each time, it''s very inconvenient. It would be easier if I moved in front of him."


    Qian Ya: "......"


    Are you serious? As someone who''s been through this, she could obviously tell.


    But Zhuge Ying''s expression was extremely determined, as if she really cared about helping underperforming ssmates improve.


    So...


    That afternoon, to the shock of the entire ss, Zhuge Ying moved her desk in front of Kong Mingze''s.


    The small corner in the back right of the ssroom now had four people gathered!

 Chapter 56: She Finally tore down the Study.

    <h4>Chapter 56</h4>


    On her way home from school, Quan Zhisui was still in an explosive emotional state. Wei Shixu was crazy enough, and Zhuge Ying was following along in madness as well.


    She felt so bitter, and of course Kong Mingze was even more in pain.


    She didn''t expect that Zuo Zichen was also suffering. He cried all the way in the car!


    "Why didn''t Brother Wei let me go upstairs? I haven''t dared go up the stairs these past two days. And why does Sister Zhuge ignore me every time? I call out to her and she acts like she can''t hear me!"


    "Sis! Speak to them for me! I''m your little brother!"


    Zuo Zichen was crafty and used to rely on the Zuo family''s wealth to cause trouble everywhere in school. And now he was also relying on his connection to Quan Zhisui to be even more brazen in his bullying.


    Quan Zhisui was so annoyed. Was there anyone normal in the Liang family?


    Her fists clenched!


    When they arrived at the Zuo house, Zuo Zichen still fawned over Quan Zhisui and helped carry her schoolbag. Quan Zhisui went straight to the dining room to eat.


    Zuo Zhiyu was probably avoiding her and didn''t evene down for dinner. Xu Zhiyi didn''te down either.


    Zuo Zichen pestered her again at the dinner table, "Sis! I''m begging you, put in a good word for me! I''ll pursue Sister Zhuge myself, but for Brother Wei, you go ¡ª you''re ssmates..."


    At this time, Zuo Zichen was even more nagging than Kong Mingze, chattering nonstop.


    He was desperately trying to get on good terms with Wei Shixu, so he could be even more unscrupulous in his bullying. And he was also desperately trying to pursue Zhuge Ying. He felt that as the boss at school, he should be dating the student council executive ¡ª and it had to be a top academically performing girl.


    Quan Zhisui was in an extremely foul mood. She ignored Zuo Zichen, finished her meal, and went back to her room stone-faced to do homework.


    Halfway through...


    Crash!


    Upstairs someone was throwing things around.


    The master bedroom upstairs was right above Zuo Zhiyu''s study.


    Quan Zhisui had no intention of getting involved. She had a ton of homework, and besides what the teachers assigned, she had to squeeze out time to study sophomore content as well.


    Although she was smart too, she was far from a prodigy like Wei Shixu. Quan Zhisui''s study method was to do practice questions like crazy, mass produce seas of questions.


    She really wanted to get into a good university!


    Bang bang bang! Crash! Crash crash!


    The noise upstairs grew louder, like furniture being tossed around ¡ª tables, phones, etc.


    Knock knock knock¡ª


    Then came the sound of knocking, and Zuo Zichen''s panicked voice: "Sis! Mom and Dad are fighting, what should we do?"


    Click!


    Quan Zhisui put down her pen.


    ...


    Third floor.


    Zuo Zhiyu emerged from his study fuming, holding a phone with a cracked screen.


    Behind him, Xu Zhiyi followed close with smudged makeup, crying, "Zuo Zhiyu, stop right there!" She wanted to snatch his phone.


    "Are you done with your tantrum?" Zuo Zhiyu flung her aside, then fiercely smashed the phone on the floor.


    The phone''s screen was already cracked. With this second forceful smash, the phone shatteredpletely, totaled beyond repair.


    Xu Zhiyi fell to the floor, sobbing loudly, "Why won''t you let me see your phone? You have another woman outside, don''t you! Exin yourself!"


    Zuo Zhiyu looked at her in disgust. "Look at yourself. You''re like a shrew."


    Xu Zhiyi broke down, "Zuo Zhiyu, I''m yourwful wife! Yet you curse at me like this? Are you still human?"


    Zuo Zhiyu snorted coldly, "Lawful wife? You know very well how you got the position of Mrs. Zuo."


    Having said that, he wanted to leave. He couldn''t stand this household.


    Xu Zhiyi hurriedly grabbed his leg, "You''re not going anywhere! You still haven''t answered me, do you have a woman outside?!"


    Zuo Zhiyu cursed, "How many times have I told you, no! All you do is obsess over this, suspicious and paranoid like a neurotic!"


    Xu Zhiyi wept and screamed, "I don''t believe you! How long has it been since you touched me? I asked yourpany, you weren''t on any business trip at all... "


    p!


    Before she could finish, Zuo Zhiyu pped her.


    This scene happened to be witnessed by Quan Zhisui and Zuo Zichening up the stairs.


    Zuo Zichen was stunned speechless, and quickly stepped in front of Xu Zhiyi, yelling at Zuo Zhiyu, "Dad, what are you doing? How could you hit Mom?!"


    Seeing his own son, Zuo Zhiyu was furious beyond words. "Zuo Zichen, do you even understand who calls the shots in the Zuo family?!"


    Xu Zhiyi hugged her son sobbing, "Son, there''s no ce for us mother and child in the Zuo family anymore. One daughter from the original marriage is already torment enough. And now your dad isn''t on our side either, keeping a woman outside, spending millions overseas buying houses and cars for that woman!"


    Zuo Zhiyu red at her, "You investigated me? You''ve got some nerve!"


    Xu Zhiyi yelled at him, "You call that investigating you? As yourwful wife, looking into our family''s finances is perfectly reasonable! This is our marital joint property!"


    Zuo Zhiyu stood akimbo cursing her, "Joint property? You, who rely entirely on me, have the nerve to say that?"


    Xu Zhiyi emphasized, "We''re husband and wife!"


    Zuo Zhiyu retorted, "Fine, let''s settle ounts. Just your monthly spending on bags and jewelry exceeds 500,000, doesn''t it? Over all these years, how much of my money have you spent? And what can you do? You don''t understand business, I told you to get close with those wealthy wives but you messed that up too! You''re like a bloodsucking vampire, useless, only able to spend money!"


    Hearing his dad curse at his mom so harshly, Zuo Zichen''s eyes reddened instantly.


    But before he could erupt, the onlooking Quan Zhisui interjected, "Oh my! Hundreds of thousands to support a young mistress, buying houses and cars for the big mistress. Hundreds of thousands a month to buy bags and jewelry for the big mistress. The original legitimate daughter has to make do with a 10,000 monthly allowance. Is that it?"


    Zuo Zhiyu reflexively yelled at her, "What''s it got to do with you? This is between me and your mom!"


    "Firstly, she''s not my mom," Quan Zhisui said as she cracked her knuckles and approached. "Secondly, your fight is interrupting my studies."


    She had entered the study and was now standing in front of that expensive nanmu desk.


    "What are you doing!" Zuo Zhiyu was furious, feeling his blood pressure spike, on the verge of fainting.


    Crash!


    Quan Zhisui flung theputer on the desk.


    Then...


    Boom!


    Shepletely flipped the desk over!


    Right after, she heaved up the executive chair and smashed it forcefully on the ground!


    Crash! Smash! Bam bam bam!


    Smashing it to pieces!


    The custom desk and chair Zuo Zhiyu spent a fortune on were wrecked and destroyed by her. Not to mention theputer, crushed to bits from the impact of the desk and chair.


    Xu Zhiyi''s crying stopped abruptly.


    The red-eyed furious Zuo Zichen was stunned speechless.


    "Quan Zhisui!!!" Zuo Zhiyu was enraged, feeling like he might pass out from the spike in blood pressure.


    But she wasn''t done!


    After wrecking the desk, Quan Zhisui walked to the wall-to-wall ss wine cab, baring her teeth in a smile.


    Crash! Boom!


    She wasn''t going to painstakingly smash them one bottle at a time. She pushed the entire cab over!


    Clink nk!


    Whoosh, whoosh!


    The sounds of shattering ss rose one after another. Hundreds of bottles of red winey smashed on the ground, wine staining the walls and ceiling!


    This moment of utter destruction released all the pent-up emotions in Quan Zhisui that day!

 Chapter 57: Damn... Left Home

    <h4>Chapter 57</h4>


    When the panicked employees came to the third floor, they saw that the study was like the ruins after the end of the world, with a miserable scene even more severe than the dining room at first, and there was not a single intact ce as far as the eye could see!


    Fang Yue also rushed over with everyone the first time. Looking at the almost fainting Zuo Zhiyu, and then at the dumbfounded expressions of Xu Zhiyi and Zuo Zichen...


    When looking at Quan Zhisui again, Fang Yue''s expression was cracked.


    Overturning the table was one thing, she had demolished the study!


    Would she bring in a bulldozer next time to raze the house t?


    The study was a vital ce for the Zuo family. Zuo Zhiyu often worked and made phone calls to curry favor with important figures there, and there were alsorge amounts ofpany information in thatputer.


    Speaking of which, where was theputer?


    Everyone looked and saw some unidentified crushed debris under the dismantled desk that used to be the work table.


    The look in the employees'' eyes when they looked at Quan Zhisui now was indescribable in words.


    The young miss has shown her might again!


    What was the reason this time?


    "Get out!" Finally, Zuo Zhiyu erupted, and even wanted to get physical.


    "Really?" Quan Zhisui''s eyes lit up instead, extremely excited: "Can I go back to Yunyang?"


    Zuo Zhiyu''s raised palm froze in midair.


    Quan Zhisui''s eyes flickered with light: "Dad! Keep your word, buy me air tickets and send me back now."


    Zuo Zhiyu''s eyes were fierce, but the nerves on his face kept twitching uncontrobly.


    That night.


    Zuo Zhiyu left the Zuo house and went to stay outside.


    The employees carefully cleaned the study, not daring to make a sound.


    Xu Zhiyi''s emotions copsed, hugging Zuo Zichen crying in a corner of the living room.


    Quan Zhisui then went back to her room to continue doing homework.


    Just before falling asleep, a message popped up on her phone.


    [Fang Yue: Facial nerve damage, went to the hospital.]


    Quan Zhisui blinked, then burst outughing!


    She had angered Zuo Zhiyu to this extent, no wonder his face kept twitching just now, like being electrocuted, twitching again and again. So it was a convulsion!


    So Zuo Zhiyu would be a crooked-faced, cockeyed man in the future?


    ...


    The next day, as usual, Quan Zhisui got up early, practiced boxing, then had breakfast.


    The small kitchen was also gathered at the old time again, talking unscrupulously about the shocking gossip from yesterday.


    Anyway, they were convinced by this young miss. Since she came, the Zuo family had been different every day!


    Xu Zhiyi didn''t sleep all night until daybreak before lying down.


    Zuo Zichen got up, his mental state was still fine, and went to school together with Quan Zhisui.


    For a high school student, he could not understand how big the contradictions between his parents were. Anyway, Dad was not home every day, Mom was ady of luxury, as long as he got his monthly allowance on time, everything was fine.


    No matter how they quarreled, they were still his parents, and he was the only son of the Zuo family, this was an unchangeable fact.


    Moreover, Quan Zhisui demolishing the study room was much more serious than his parents fighting and smashing mobile phones!


    Wasn''t it no big deal at all?


    With this contrast, Zuo Zichen was not worried at all. His values and outlook were limited to this. At this time, he only wanted to be the leader of Liang Secondary School.


    Because of Wei Shixu''s words, Zuo Zichen didn''t dare to go to the second floor. He sent Quan Zhisui to the stairs and left.


    Quan Zhisui was in great spirits. When she got to her position, she took the initiative to greet Wei Shixu in front of her: "Morning!" She was radiant.


    Wei Shixu''s heart thumped.


    At this time, Quan Zhisui took out the notes she had long prepared: "How do you solve this problem?"


    Wei Shixu: "..."


    Quan Zhisui poked the paper in the notebook: "Speak up! What are you staring for?"


    Wei Shixu narrowed his eyes instantly.


    Yesterday she didn''t even dare to look him in the eye, nor take the initiative to ask questions, avoiding his sight all the time, walking with her head down.


    When he leaned over to say something to her, even her earlobes turned red!


    How did she be emotionally stable overnight today, and restore her original state overnight?


    What happened after she went back yesterday?


    Seeing Quan Zhisui looking straight at him like this, with no hint of ambiguity in her gaze, even urging him impatiently.


    Wei Shixu''s lips were pursed tightly as he snatched over the notebook to take a look, then started exining the question, looking very unhappy.


    Quan Zhisui waspletely unaware and studied diligently.


    Wei Shixu pondered for a moment and asked, "What did you do yesterday?"


    Quan Zhisui was delighted to share: "I wrecked my dad''s study room! Destructive kind!"


    "Oh..." Wei Shixu responded lightly.


    It seemed she had vented out all her pent-up emotions by throwing a fit, and also dissipated the stirrings he had painstakingly created.


    Damn the Zuo family...


    ...


    Quan Zhisui was in a good mood all morning.


    She definitely wouldn''t get pocket money for demolishing the study yesterday. Zuo Zhiyu might not give her a cent anymore, but she didn''t have to have it either. Her current clothes were enough to wear, though a bit small.


    Moreover, she was learning better and better!


    Quan Zhisui''s happy appearance formed a sharp contrast with the bitter Kong Mingze beside her.


    Ever since Zhuge Ying changed his seat, Kong Mingze could no longer sleep through sses and was forced to listen and study hard!


    At lunch time.


    Kong Mingze instantly came back to life from drowsiness: "Eat!"


    Zhuge Ying looked back: "Zhisui, together?"


    Quan Zhisui: "Yeah! Sure!"


    Wei Shixu got up: "I''ll go to the dorm."


    Kong Mingze: "Ah? You''re not eating? No way! You have to eat!"


    Wei Shixu said in a suppressed tone: "I''ll eat, you guys go first."


    Kong Mingze: "Oh, ok then."


    ...


    Wei Shixu went to the back hill alone.


    Just then, a problem student holding instant noodles came up, and stood at attention when seeing him: "Brother Wei!"


    Brother Zuo said that Wei Shixu and Quan Zhisui were absolute bosses that must not be provoked. He must greet them when seeing their faces.


    "Three?" Wei Shixu looked at him and said.


    The other was stunned for a moment before reacting. He quickly shook his head: "Report Brother Wei, I''m Five!"


    One, two, three, four, five were the serial numbers Quan Zhisui had given them, and they had each remembered and acknowledged it after calling them a few times.


    Wei Shixu didn''t care if it was Three or Five. He lowered his head to tidy his cuffs, his expression impatient: "Go call Zuo Zichen here."


    Soon, Zuo Zichen came with his other followers, running over in a hurry.


    "Brother Wei, did you call me?!"


    Zuo Zichen was very excited. His sister must have said good things about him in front of Wei Shixu!


    Wei Shixu looked up at him, then reached out his hand...


    Bang!


    And grabbed Zuo Zichen''s head and knocked it against the wall beside!


    Zuo Zichen''s forehead instantly bled!


    The five followers were shocked, shouting loudly wanting to step forward.


    "Stop!" Although his head was still being pressed against the wall by Wei Shixu, Zuo Zichen stopped his followers froming forward first.


    "You guys... fall back!" he said through gritted teeth.


    The followers could only retreat to the side, but the way they looked at Wei Shixu had be ring.


    Zuo Zichen panted and asked, "Brother Wei, may I ask why you hit me?"


    Wei Shixu lowered his eyes and gave him two words: "Hutong."


    Zuo Zichen''s pupils contracted violently!


    Did Wei Shixu find out about the fight he had arranged at the hutong? Or did the Wei family find out?!


    Quan Zhisui had beaten him violently that night, but Wei Shixu had not shown any reaction. Zuo Zichen had thought it was over.

    <h4>Chapter 58</h4>


    ¡°For the first blow, she strained her muscles.¡±


    Wei Shixu said, then suddenly grabbed him again and mmed him forcefully against the wall!


    Bang!


    ¡°For the second, my forearm wound.¡±


    Bang bang!


    ¡°The third and fourth, the two stitches Kong Mingze sewed.¡±


    In total four blows, Zuo Zichen''s head was mmed full of blood, and stars shed before his eyes.


    Zuo Zichen could no longer stand, his whole body slumped against the wall and sat down.


    Blood gushed!


    Wei Shixu looked down at him, his expression indifferent: ¡°There is still one blow, you hit yourself.¡±


    There was still one blow?


    Zuo Zichen was almost fainting from the pain, he remembered Zhuge Ying was not injured, so why was there still one blow left!


    But he dared not resist or ask, he crawled up with difficulty and mmed himself against the wall.


    With a loud bang!


    He hit very solidly, after hitting, his vision became blurred and he copsed on the ground unable to get up.


    If these five ms against the wall could make the Wei family let him go, it would be worth it!


    The five little brothers were panicking and terrified, hurriedly carrying Zuo Zichen to the medical room.


    As they left, their eyes toward Wei Shixu were full of confusion and fear.


    Why could he make Brother Zuo so humble?!


    ...


    The medical room.


    Zuo Zichen''s head was wrapped up like a mummy, hey there sighing, his heart chilled to the bone.


    Wei Shixu hade to beat him up personally, didn''t that mean his sister had little hope with the Wei family?


    How could he beat up his future brother-inw!


    Even disregarding Quan Zhisui¡¯s rtionship, Zuo Zichen now understood that he had no goodwill at all with Wei Shixu.


    Let alone bing online friends.


    Thinking of this, Zuo Zichen was nearly furious, why was Kong Mingze so lucky?


    The five little brothers apanied him the whole time, they were very puzzled!


    "Brother Zuo! Why didn''t you fight back?"


    "You didn''t even let us fight back!"


    "That brat surnamed Wei doesn''t look like he can fight, what are we afraid of him for?"


    "We outnumber them!"


    At this time Zuo Zichen was too weak to even scold them: "You idiots! Do you know Brother Chen off campus?"


    The five collectively shook their heads: "Don''t know."


    Zuo Zichen: "Brother Chen is the boss of that street to the west, all the shops on that street are his, and the group we often y pool with are all Brother Chen''s minions."


    The five began to exim.


    "Is Brother Chen that powerful?"


    "A whole street is Brother Chen''s turf?"


    "Brother Zuo! When can you introduce us to Brother Chen?"


    "Brother Zuo, do you mean we should get Brother Chen toe settle that brat surnamed Wei?"


    Zuo Zichen was about to roll his eyes, cursing: "Are you all idiots! What I mean is that even the great Brother Chen, his boss''s boss''s boss, would have to call Wei Shixu''s grandfather boss!"


    Saying this in one breath made his wounds hurt again, so he closed his eyes andy there breathing deeply.


    How stupid were these five, still wanting to beat up Wei Shixu.


    After thinking about it for a good while, the five finally understood the severity of the situation, then shut up and said nothing.


    No wonder Zuo Zichen was so afraid of Wei Shixu!


    ...


    Zuo Zichen''s head was wrapped for several days in a row, and his spirit was low.


    Quan Zhisui didn''t even ask, it was normal for him to get injured from fighting at school or off campus.


    But it scared Xu Zhiyi and made her hug her son and cry in the yard, thinking it was beaten by Quan Zhisui again.


    ...


    This week passed very quickly, and the rtionship between the four became closer. Wei Shixu''s original n to ask Quan Zhisui out was expanded by Kong Mingze into the four of them going shopping together and then having hot pot.


    At 1 pm on Saturday, Zhao Lin sent Quan Zhisui to the agreed mall entrance.


    Zhuge Ying was already there.


    Zhuge Ying looked different without her school uniform, she wore a nice little skirt, let her hair down in curled waves, carried a single-shoulder bag, without any of the usual ss monitor''s sternness, looking lively and cute, the best of her 17 years!


    Zhuge Ying saw Quan Zhisui from afar at the first floor entrance, standing on her tiptoes and waving to her: "Zhisui!"


    Quan Zhisui was still wearing the sportswear Wei Shixu gave her, and walked quickly over to walk alongside her.


    It was obvious Zhuge Ying was especially happy today, chatting andughing: "This is my first timeing to this mall! Thanks to you!"


    Quan Zhisui was surprised: "Aren''t you from Liangxi originally?"


    "I am!" Zhuge Yingughed, "I can''t afford to buy things in this mall, so I''ve never been."


    Quan Zhisui''s expression was not so good: "How expensive?"


    Zhuge Ying spoke positively: "Wei Shixu won''t let you pay."


    Quan Zhisui: "I can''t afford it."


    Zhuge Ying just smiled without responding.


    Soon Wei Shixu and Kong Mingze arrived as well.


    Wei Shixu seemed to like wearing ck clothes, this time wearing another style of ck jacket, paired with a ck t-shirt inside, ck pants on the bottom, and ck shoes as well.


    He was very tall and good-looking, dressed all in ck looked cool, and attracted quite some attention as he walked over.


    While next to him Kong Mingze was very colorful, wearing an orange hoodie, white athletic pants, and grass green sneakers.


    This colorful contrast made one''s eyes almost go blind!


    The two with such different styles walking side by side, one silent, oneughing and chatting, the visual effect was quite explosive. It made Quan Zhisui and Zhuge Ying who were familiar with them both pause and stare nkly in unison.


    An ancient question once again rose in Quan Zhisui''s heart.


    These two, why, how, did they, be, friends?


    Zhuge Ying found it really hard to keep smiling, she sighed and waved at the two.


    Quan Zhisui expressionlessly waved along.


    Kong Mingze circled around Zhuge Ying as soon as he arrived, eximing loudly: "Wow ss monitor you look so pretty today!"


    Zhuge Ying teased him: "Doesn''t Quan Zhisui look pretty?"


    Kong Mingze nced at Quan Zhisui and shook his head: "She looks the same as usual."


    Zhuge Ying was shown up by his frankness: "What I mean is... oh never mind!"


    Kong Mingze: "I''m just telling the truth! But ss monitor, how did you do your hair, it''s so pretty!"


    And he started praising again.


    The two walked together very naturally, chatting as they went.


    So Wei Shixu and Quan Zhisui silently followed behind them.


    She looked up at the dark devil for a moment, silent.


    Kong Mingze had shown up Zhuge Ying.


    She was also shaded ck by Wei Shixu.


    Wei Shixu observed subtly and asked: "What''s with that look?"


    Quan Zhisui: "So dark!"


    Wei Shixu: "..."


    Quan Zhisui: "It''s fine if you like it."


    Wei Shixu: "Can I hold your hand?"


    Quan Zhisui: "No."


    Wei Shixu: "What about forcing it?"


    Quan Zhisui: "I''ll break your hand off."


    Wei Shixu: "Do you still want new clothes?"


    Quan Zhisui: "I''ll buy my own."


    Wei Shixu: "The clothes here start at five digits."


    Quan Zhisui: "..."


    Wei Shixu: "Let me hold for a bit, I''ll buy you clothes."


    Quan Zhisui: "Let''s go to another mall."


    Wei Shixu sighed: "Nevermind holding hands, I''ll still buy you clothes."
