Chapter 55: If you offend me, I will offend you

  On the way, they met an old granny selling candied hawthorns. Gu Siyan suddenly had a strong craving for them and begged Qiao Anyu to join her in eating some, as she felt it would be too embarrassing to eat while walking alone, and having someone to share the attention of others was always a good thing.

  Qiao An couldn't outdo Gu Siqi, so she also bought one.

  The two of them walked and ate in the open for the first time, and with their thin skin, they couldn't hide. Qiao Anyu looked at the dazzling sun and suggested: "The sun is too big, let's hold an umbrella and eat under it, probably no one will notice."

  This proposal was soon adopted and carried out.

  As they walked along, just as they were halfway through eating, a pair of bare feet appeared in their line of sight.

  "Ladies, do you often ride like this? It's easy to bump into others. Can you afford to compensate if you bump into someone? Especially if you bump into excellent athletes, you can't afford it even more." As soon as I heard this long string of words, I knew I had encountered the annoying Shu Zimo just by using my toes to think about it.

  "This guy won't leave us alone." Qiao Anyu cursed in a low voice, not wanting to provoke him for the time being, thinking of passing by from the side, but he also followed and blocked their way.

  "Shu Zimo, don't be too arrogant!" Qiao Anyu's patience had finally run out, she threw away her umbrella and glared at him with an intimidating gaze.

  "Haha, I thought you were plotting something under the umbrella, but it turns out that the greedy worm was lured out to cause trouble." Shu Zimo ridiculed with all his might, while Qin Hui stood by, still wearing a look of enjoying the show.

  "It's a personal thing, everyone has to eat and drink, and being able to eat represents our health. Unlike some people, who think it's beautiful to be as thin as a corpse." Qiao Anyu deliberately looked up and down at Shu Zimo's not-so-strong physique.

  "You're talking about yourself, right? Look at your pitiful weak appearance, eating all day and not even knowing where it's going. It's really - a waste of food!" He said with a self-satisfied smile, stroking his chin.

  Qiao Anyu had just wanted to say something when Shu Zimo beckoned to someone behind her: "Yuze!"

  Su Yu Zhe walked towards them, with Du Jing by his side. He took a look at the situation and jokingly said: "You're here to pick on Qiao An Yu again."

  Qiao Anyu was in a dilemma, neither advancing nor retreating. She held the half-eaten candied hawthorn in her hand, feeling extremely awkward with sticky sugar on her lips. Licking it or not became another problem. She wished she could find a hole to crawl into and hide herself deeply.

  "Good job, kiddo." Shu Zimo gave him a high-five, and Su Yuzhe and Du Jing walked away together.

  Shu Zimo must have done it on purpose. He had seen Su Yuzhe behind him all along, and deliberately provoked himself to make a fool of himself in front of Su Yuzhe. It must be like that! Qiao Anyu quickly pieced together the series of events through logical reasoning, and the result was - this was actually Shu Zimo's scheme.

  Alright then, don't blame me for being impolite.

  She flashed a brilliant smile at him, lowering his guard, then with lightning speed and force, she stomped her foot heavily on Shu Zimo's bare heel and dragged Gu Sichen to run away quickly.

  A mournful cry like a wolf's howl came from behind him.

  "This woman is too ruthless, we still have 400 meters of competition left." Shu Zimo sat on the grass in the middle of the playground, blowing air onto her slightly swollen foot. Waves of pain came from her foot. Just now when she stepped on it, she was in so much pain that she almost cried out.

  "Who made you provoke her first? Should I say you deserved it or that you're unlucky, falling for a tigress?" Qin Hui lay beside him, his hands clasped behind his head and his legs crossed.

  "Impossible! With so many beauties surrounding me, one more or one less woman in the world has nothing to do with me!" Shu Zimo said nonchalantly.

  "You'll understand later, you little brat." Qin Hui took out a cigarette and prepared to light it.

  "Ke Zi, stop smoking, it's bad for your body and lungs." Shu Zi Mo took the cigarette out of his hand.

  "But after a few drags, it's not so heartbreaking." Qin Hui sighed.

  Qiao Anyu Liang and Gu Siqian ran until they were out of breath, only daring to stop and rest when they couldn't see Shu Zimo.

  "Yu Liang, you're really ruthless! Shu Zimo must be in so much pain right now. I feel like every time, Shu Zimo deliberately provokes you when he knows Su Yuzhe will arrive on the scene, just to make a fool of you." Gu Siyan finally spoke up after her anger had subsided slightly.

  "I knew it all along, he wanted to get me, humph, no way!" Qiao Anyu thought about the kick she had just made and felt really relieved, imagining Shu Zimo's comical expression, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

  Shu Zimo, I'm not easy to mess with either. Bring it on! I'll take you down with every move you make. You're just relying on Su Yuzhe being my weakness to feel so smug, but I've already lost face in front of him countless times. Might as well go all out and be done with it - if we both end up losing, that's fine by me.
