Little Cutie, Come Here (8)
Zhou Zhiwei was especially dejected the rest of the night study session. It was rare for him to want to do his homework or read books, but who knew that the pair behind him would be making such an open public display of affection. Next to him, Liu Yan giggled at his phone, often nudging Zhou Zhiwei with his elbow and flaunting his achievements in-game. Soon, he would surpa.s.s Zhou Zhiwei.
This was unacceptable. This absolutely couldn"t happen. His ranking in the game was more important than grades—it was the symbol of his honor and status!
Thusly, Zhou Zhiwei resolutely cast aside his homework, beginning a fight to the death with Liu Yan in-game.
The night study session ended at nine. As soon as the bell rang, Su Yin carried her backpack and ran. To her, tonight was difficult for her to bear—for the entire night, Xie Fei pressed close to her. Her nose was full of his faint scent. When she moved her arms slightly, she would touch his scorching hot skin. When she raised her head, she would meet his laughing gaze. All of it burned her mind into a complete blank.
When she had ran out to the playground, Su Yin"s heart finally relaxed. She raised her small head, looking towards Cla.s.s 1"s cla.s.sroom, a bit unwilling to leave.
A name slowly floated up in her mind—Xie Fei.Please read at yanyantls dot wordpress dot com. If you are reading this elsewhere, it has been stolen from me.
The next day, the first cla.s.s of the morning was literature. Su Yin looked towards the podium in a daze, her face weak and weary. Yesterday night, she had dreamed of Xie Fei for the entire night. When she woke up that morning, her mind was in a frenzy, and she felt much more tired than usual. She had absolutely no heart or energy to listen to the teacher.
Su Yin lowered her head, looking at Xie Fei. He was sprawled out on his desk, dreaming peacefully with his head on his arms. The strands of hair on his forehead were a bit damp, the drops of water gleaming under the sunlight. His high nose bridge made a shadow on his face. He was extremely handsome.
Looking at him, she fell into a daze. Unconsciously, a red flush spread onto her pale cheeks. Just then, the person sprawled out on his desk opened his eyes. He slowly sat up, propping his head on his hand and staring at Su Yin with a smile. "I"m that good-looking?"
His relaxed voice carried a hint of the laziness from just waking up. His voice was enough to tingle in her ears and cause her heart to skip a beat.
Su Yin immediately returned to her senses, hurriedly looking away from Xie Fei"s open collar. His collar exposed a wide, st.u.r.dy chest, and her small face immediately turned boiling hot. She lowered her eyes, not even daring to breathe too loudly.
Xie Fei"s lips turned upwards. He reached out to poke Su Yin"s wrist lightly. "Were you looking at me just now?" he questioned.
Su Yin"s head lowered even further. Her entire person turned a light shade of pink. Her hands flew around, not knowing where to lay, and finally she tangled them together on her thighs, looking adorable and charming.
Xie Fei"s heart softened. He flicked her ponytail lightly, then touched her hair gently, the corner of his lip quirking up. "Good girl."
His voice was doting. Su Yin wanted to avoid his hand, but hearing him say "Good girl", she really endured two of his pats obediently.
When their last cla.s.s of the morning was over, Su Yin made a show of reluctance before going to the cafeteria to eat with Xie Fei and his friends. She had just sat down when the sound of her female cla.s.smates" angry voices came over. "Do you see that, that disgusting girl Wei Xiaoqin has been stuck to Jiang Hui the entire morning. They only just split up to eat. She"s so annoying."
"This isn"t even too bad. I only saw the light during yesterday"s night study session. She was completely wrapped around Jiang Hui, even her chest was even pressed tightly against his arm. She was asking questions and playing innocent."
"Oh my G.o.d, as soon as you said that I got angry. During cla.s.s I went to ask Jiang Hui a question, and that shameless b.i.t.c.h looked at me biting her lip, pushing for him to let her go first. Jiang Hui is all of ours, what right does she have to monopolize him?"
"She"s using questions as her seduction technique. They"ve only been deskmates for a day. I"m afraid that even someone cold like Jiang Hui will be captured by her in the next month. Isn"t she amazing!"
"Dumb b.i.t.c.h, ugly busybody, as long as it"s a guy she"ll keep him with money. Her big chest is practically popping out, even the school uniform can"t cover up her s.l.u.ttiness."
"It just happens to be a bit boring. Why don"t we find some fun things to do? Such as cornering her and giving her a talk?"
"That"s letting her off to easy. Let"s find some people to give her a memory she"ll never forget. You guys just wait for a good show."

Xie Fei"s table heard the girls" conversation clearly. Zhou Zhiwei and the others were used to these kinds of things and didn"t especially care. They ate and drank normally. He didn"t forget to jeer, "Femme fatal, femme fatal."
"Wei-ge, you said it wrong, it"s femme fatale," Liu Yan corrected, looking at Zhou Zhiwei with wide eyes.
Zhou Zhiwei rolled his eyes. "Eat your lunch, pig brains."
Liu Yan huffed poutily, lowering his head to continue eating. Zhou Zhiwei kept glancing at Xie Fei, clicking his tongue in astonishment. "Our family"s Fei-ge is obviously much better. Why aren"t there girls fighting for your affections?"
"I know why, it"s because there aren"t any girls close to big bro." Liu Yan said, his cheeks full of rice. When he finished, he looked at the stunned Su Yin, then continued, "Of course that"s except for Su-jie. n.o.body has the guts to pick on the person my big bro likes."
Su Yin"s face flushed red. Her worries for Wei Xiaoqin disappeared without a trace. Only a single sentence circled in her head: The person Xie Fei liked was her?
Liu Yang looked at Xie Fei with sparkling eyes, awaiting praise. "Right, Fei-ge?"
Xie Fei"s eyes curved in a smile. He nodded slightly, laughing. "Eat, your lunch is getting cold."
Su Yin looked at Xie Fei in shocked. It was like there were two little people colliding fiercely in her heart. Did he just nod? It didn"t seem like it… but it seemed like he did? Then does he like her or not? He probably liked her, didn"t Liu Yan say that? But he didn"t say it himself, what if she was thinking too much?
Ugh, it was so annoying. Forget about it, she would think about what to do about Wei Xiaoqin first. She had become a thorn in the side of the other girls. It probably wouldn"t be good to talk to her in cla.s.s, or it probably wouldn"t be a help and would even draw hate to herself. Then how should she do it?
Su Yin bit her chopsticks, in a daze. When she got back to her dorm, she was still absent-minded. It was only when she saw the afternoon schedule when she clapped her hands and immediately decided to wait until gym cla.s.s to find Wei Xiaoqin.
Time pa.s.sed quickly. In gym cla.s.s, the teacher spoke about next semester"s test. After saying they could register their names with the sports council to borrow equipment, the teacher let them go for free time. Everyone gathered in small groups, talking with their friends.
Yang Jie and the others had a basketball. They waved at Xie Fei, who was sitting under a tree. Zhou Zhiwei shouted, "Fei-ge, let"s play ball."
Xie Fei looked up at them, then looked towards Wei Xiaoqin"s silhouette walking towards Su Yin. He waved a hand. "You guys go ahead and play. I"m a bit tired, I"m going to take a nap."
The others waved goodbye and turned away. Xie Fei stood up, dusting off his pants, and sticking his hands in his pockets. He walked away towards the gym closet. In moments, his figure disappeared.
Su Yin pulled Wei Xiaoqin surrept.i.tiously away from the playground. She looked around vigilantly the entire way to the gm closet, but she didn"t notice there had long been a gang of female delinquents following them.
"Susu, what in the world did you want to talk to me about? I want to hurry back and watch Jiang Hui play basketball," Wei Xiaoqin said unhappily, frowning. She had already agreed with Jiang Hui that she would definitely go to cheer him on. She had even prepared water and a towel already. She couldn"t let others get to him first. Feeling a little anxious, she urged, "Susu, hurry up and say it, I"m in a rush to go back."
Su Yin furrowed her eyebrows. Seeing Wei Xiaoqin looking as though she had been put under a spell, she sighed helplessly. She said quietly, "Xiaoqin, during lunch I heard some of the girls in our cla.s.s aren"t happy with you. They even said they were going to have people come teach you a lesson. You have to be careful—"
"Oh, it"s just this! It"s nothing, they"re all talk…" Wei Xiaoqin cut off Su Yin a little unhappily, waving her off.
She hadn"t finished speaking when a snicker came from behind them. "We"re not all talk, we like to play."
As she spoke, one of the girls grabbed Wei Xiaoqin"s hair and pulled harshly. Wei Xiaoqin covered her hair in pain, crying out in fear. "Ah, it hurts, it hurts! Let go of me!"
"Let go of you?" the girl laughed. "Alright."
Her hand relaxed. At the same time, she kicked Wei Xiaoqin in the waist. Wei Xiaoqin stumbled and fell to the ground.
Su Yin hurried up to support Wei Xiaoqi. Wei Xiaoqin clutched at her scratched arms, her eyes filled with tears and biting her lip to hold back sobs. Su Yin patted her back, glaring at the other girls icily. "Who are you? What are you planning to do?"
"What are we planning?" The leader laughed. "Didn"t you already say it? Obviously we"re here to teach her a lesson."
"What right do you have to teach me, I don"t even know you!" Wei Xiaoqin questioned, her eyes red.
"What right?"Please read at yanyantls dot wordpress dot com. If you are reading this elsewhere, it has been stolen from me.
The girls sneered. The leader waved her hand, and Su Yin and Wei Xiaoqin were surrounded by them. In a second, the two of them were separated.
The leader walked to Wei Xiaoqin. She raised her hand gave her a ruthless slap across the face. Wei Xiaoqin"s eyes immediately turned dark, two streams of blood slowly trickling out of her nose. Her legs went weak and she fell to the ground.
"Our right comes from how you tangled up our family"s Jiang Hui! Even if laoniang1 beats you to death, it serves you right. You s.l.u.tty vixen, you even dare to prize laoniang"s man! Your existence is really annoying!"
Wei Xiaoqin"s face went white. She covered her chest, panting. The sound of her breathing got heavier, and her weak body swayed. She lifted her head to look at Su Yin, croaking, "Su… Susu, help… help me…"
Su Yin"s heart skipped a beat. She used all her strength to struggle free of the people holding her, dashing to Wei Xiaoqin"s side. Su Yin hugged her tightly. "Xiaoqin, you"re okay, right? Wait for me, I"ll take you to the infirmary—"
"You want to leave? It"s not that easy!" At the same time, the girls ringed around them, forcing them towards the trees.
"Either you leave by yourself, or you die together!" The leader rolled her wrists, smiling cruelly.
The author has something to say:
Zhou Zhiwei: My ranking in games is related to my status as a man, it"s extremely important!
