Chapter 19: Childish

Chapter 19

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 class 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, occasionally 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 minutes later, 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 relationship. 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 welcome 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...”

Slap!

Quan Zhisui backhandedly slapped 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 slap.

“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 delay one bit.

His heart raced wildly. He suddenly understood Ma Xinwei and Gu Lan’s words that morning. Hearing descriptions and experiencing it firsthand were completely 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 slapping, 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 slap 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 slapped 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 slapped 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 slap 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 blankly 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 places to be played to death!!!

...

After Quan Zhisui entered the classroom, her mood calmed down a lot. She sat down and started doing the homework she didn't finish yesterday.

The classroom 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 explain one or two questions to you. Don't be shy with me."

Quan Zhisui smiled and said, "Thank you, class 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 classroom 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, "Class monitor, have some milk tea. It's a new flavor."

Zhuge Ying took it and waved her hand, "Thanks. I won't nag you about homework today."

Kong Mingze felt completely relaxed. Then he went to Wei Shixu's seat and similarly 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 Shixu completely ignored him. His attitude was extremely nasty!

Quan Zhisui leaned on one hand on the table. She was too lazy to comment. 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 clamored noisily for a long time, with Kong Mingze's shouts filling up the entire classroom.

As for Wei Shixu himself, he leisurely drank away, completely 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!
