Chapter 15: Whose Spring Has Arrived (Part 2)

  "Qian, I...I think...I might...like Su Yuzhe..." Qiao Anyu suddenly stopped in her tracks, and Gu Sichen, who was walking behind her, almost bumped into her.

  "What...what!" Gu Siqi panted heavily, her words disjointed due to shock.

  "When was this?" Gu Siyan asked immediately.

  "Just now..." Qiao Anyu's pale face turned red. She didn't dare to meet Gu Sichen's inquiring gaze.

  "Really?" Gu Siqi doubted her own ears.

  "Hmm." Qiao An Yu Lian hesitated for a moment before responding.

  "Love at first sight?"

  "It is also said that it is, and it is also said that it is not."

  "Alright, stop speaking in riddles, I'm getting a headache and can't understand what you're saying."

  "It doesn't matter for now, I won't be able to say it clearly anyway. You knowing the result is enough." Qiao Anyu felt like there was nothing to say.

  "Alas, if Shu Zimo knew about it, I don't know how much vinegar he would eat and how big a temper he would have." Gu Siqian sighed.

  "Is it?" Chu Zimo's low and menacing voice suddenly rang out.

  "Ah!"

  "Ah!"

  Two girls ran away with their heads together.

  He caught up and grabbed Qiao An Yu Liang: "What bad things did you just say about me?"

  Qiao Anyu let out a sigh of relief, fortunately he had only heard the second half of what was said.

  She shook off his hand and asked Gu Siyan with a pretended thoughtful expression: "Where were we just discussing?"

  Gu Siqi cooperated and said: "The high jump competition was so wonderful just now."

  "I was wondering where you ran off to, turns out you were watching the high jump. What's so great about the high jump? Hmph! No taste." Shu Zimo, who had clearly heard their entire conversation, surprisingly didn't expose their lie.

  "Dwarves always say the grapes are sour when they can't eat them, don't you think, Sichen? Why do you keep popping up everywhere I go? It's really unlucky." Qiao Anyu was extremely dissatisfied with Shu Zimo's silent appearance. Military secrets, how could they be leaked?

  "Why don't you say that your ghost is following me everywhere?" Su Zimo, who had originally wanted to show off his 400-meter achievement to her, forgot about his motive for finding her and started arguing with her again.

  Gu Siqi stood by, unable to decide whether to persuade or not.

  At this time, a sweet female voice came from the broadcast: "The following is the score of the men's 400m preliminary round. First place Shu Zimo, second place Xu Xiao, third place..."

  Shu Zimo looked at Qiao Anyu with a pleased expression.

  "If you have the ability, get first place in the finals too." Qiao Anyu said disdainfully.

  "A new record, a new record!" After the announcement of the men's 400m preliminary round results, an urgent and excited female voice came: "First-year student Su Yuzhe from Class 2 broke the school record with a score of ×× meters!"

  Su Yu Zhe. Qiao An's eyes became dazed and confused.

  Her face lit up with a rare gentleness when she heard the name Su Yu Zhe, which made Shu Zi Mo's unnamed fire burn even higher. He gritted his teeth and stormed off. Qiao An Yu Liang and Gu Si Qian looked at each other in dismay, not knowing what they had done to offend this Buddha again.

  "Hmph, you don't want Yuzhe to know that you like him? I'll deliberately reveal your secret and tell him, just to vent my own frustration."

  Suddenly, his brain slammed on the brakes: No way, no way, what if Yu Zhe pays attention to her because of this and gradually falls in love with her? Wouldn't that be letting that woman get her way? No, I must do everything in my power to stop Yu Zhe from falling in love with her!

  Shu Zimo was pleased with his own cleverness, imagining the scene of "flowers falling with intention and water flowing without emotion", walking while laughing loudly.

  "What's so funny? That hearty laugh?" Su Yu Zhe patted his shoulder with a sweaty palm.

  "Hey, buddy, I've got something to tell you." Shu Zimo said seriously.

  "What's so serious?"

  "Never mess with women, we can't afford to provoke them and can't escape from them."

  "Don't worry about it. I won't follow in your footsteps, haha. But to be honest, it seems like you're always the one who goes and provokes her first?"

  "Who is she?" Shu Zimo asked cautiously.

  "Yu Liang said, just when he was jumping high, he still saw her there, but in the blink of an eye she disappeared." Su Yu Zhe felt strange about his unusual words and actions.

  Shu Zimo wailed in his heart, he had actually noticed her already. However, it's better late than never to mend the fold after the sheep has escaped.

  "That woman is a strong liquor! No, she's poisonous liquor! Running into her is like having eight lifetimes of bad luck. I'm not going to provoke her again." Shu Zimo decided to set an example for himself.

  Su Yu Zhe was skeptical of his words.
