Rong Qi continued walking, paying Su Yifan no heed. He rushed over, intent on grabbing her arm to talk.
Rong Qi’s brows tightened. With a flick of her wrist and a graceful sidestep, she shoved him. Su Yifan found himself face-planting, hitting the ground in a manner colloquially known as “eating dirt”.
Annoyed and red-faced, Su Yifan looked back at Rong Qi from his p.r.o.ne position.
“Sorry. Self-defense,” Rong Qi retracted her hand, “I thought you were about to attack me.”
Yet, the sly grin on Rong Qi’s lips betrayed not a shred of remorse. Clearly, it was intentional.
Struggling to get up, Su Yifan realized he couldn’t. His legs felt numb, as if he had lost control over them. He asked, “Rong Qi, what did you do to me?”
With a lazily enigmatic smile, Rong Qi replied, “I haven’t the foggiest idea.” “You!” Su Yifan glared. “I just wanted to talk. Show some mercy, would you?
The Rong family is going through a rough patch. Feiyu has been doing her best to help out. Why are you tormenting her?”
Su Yifan continued, “I admired your courage when you donated blood yesterday. It made me see you in a new light. But why carry your family’s grudges onto Feiyu? She’s suffered enough.”
Speaking on behalf of others even in his current state, Su Yifan felt a twinge of irony.
Rong Qi eyed him sympathetically. She said, “You’re rather pitiable yourself. If you don’t want those good eyes, why not donate them?”
“What are you talking about?” Su Yifan asked.
Ignoring him, Rong Qi added, “Well, the push-up position suits you. Why don’t you stay there and exercise?”
With that, Rong Qi turned on her heel and walked away.
Paralyzed on the ground, Su Yifan could only grind his teeth as he watched her leave.
It was morning, and students were pa.s.sing by. Seeing Su Yifan’s sweat-soaked, flushed face, many looked at him curiously. Embarra.s.sed, he tried to maintain his push-up posture, pretending to be in the middle of a morning workout. “Hey, look, a lollipop!”
A pa.s.sing student noticed a lollipop lying near a small rock not far from Su Yifan.
“What brand is this? I’ve never seen it before.”
They bent down to pick it up but halted when Su Yifan growled, “Don’t touch it! It’s mine. I dropped it.”
Confused and annoyed by Su Yifan’s outburst, they left. Once they were gone, he focused his gaze on the lollipop.
Wrapped in nostalgic packaging, the candy exuded a familiar strawberry scent. Su Yifan thought, ‘Isn’t this Feiyu’s favorite candy as a child? But Rong Qi was standing here earlier. How could she possibly have this candy?’
A sudden feeling of unease coursed through Su Yifan, as if he had missed something crucial. When he was a child, Rong Feiyu protected him and threw him a candy to shut him up when he cried.
‘No… It can’t be… It had to be a coincidence. It has to be!’ Su Yifan thought.
Meanwhile, Rong Qi was on her way back to Cla.s.s 7. As she reached the entrance, a few towering figures blocked her way. They demanded, “Give us your money.”
A scoff escaped Rong Qi’s lips. “For what?”
“Don’t be ungrateful,” the girls quickly encircled Rong Qi.
The leader reached out her hand and said, “We know you’re from Cla.s.s 7. Don’t you know the state your cla.s.s is in? Shujie has you all pinned. If you want to keep a low profile at Capital University, just pay up..”
