Chapter 18: The Win
Chapter 18
Tu Qingluan heard this and let go of her. The girl seemed to collapse, panting hard. The scene of madness just now still clung tightly to her.
Yan Xi squatted down and said hoarsely, forcibly suppressing her emotions: ".....Thank you."
"Just to say thanks?"
What?
The girl seemed to be a little slow to react.
The boy suddenly leaned in close and kissed Yan Xi's left cheek.
Yan Xi was stunned for a moment, and slapped the boy backhanded.
"What are you doing!"
The girl became furious, her face flushed.
It wasn't a light slap.
Tu Qingluan stroked his painful face and clenched his back teeth.
He was not angry, but smiled at Yan Xi instead.
"This is the reward I want." Tu Qingluan looked at her and said seriously.
This guy is really frivolous to the extreme!
"Get out of here!" The girl angrily pointed at him, turned and wanted to leave.
Anyone would be upset if they were taken advantage of suddenly.
Suddenly the girl's arm was grabbed, and she heard the person behind her say, "Let me take you home, I'm worried about you being alone, you weren't hurt just now, were you?"
"I'm not hurt, I don't need you to send me." Yan Xi answered stiffly.
"You know I like you." Tu Qingluan grabbed her shoulders with both hands, turned Yan Xi around to face her eyes.
"Someone is picking me up." Yan Xi turned her head away, deliberately avoiding his gaze, a dark light flashing in her eyes.
"But I want to send you home."
"But I....."
"Ah...it hurts so much..." Tu Qingluan suddenly interrupted her and covered his chest, frowning tightly, his handsome face twisted.
If you didn't know, you'd think he had suffered some serious internal injury.
【Baby, it looks like you've met your match.】
【I stand corrected.】
"Are you okay!" Seeing him in pain, Yan Xi's brows furrowed slightly, revealing some concern.
"You have to keep an eye on me and go back home, and add me on WeChat so you can contact me if I have back pain." Tu Qingluan blinked and handed out his phone.
Finally, Yan Xi compromised and let Tu Qingluan take her home, and added his contact at his insistence.
Before getting out of the car, Yan Xi suddenly turned back and asked, "What are you going to do with that man...."
"Well, that question..." Tu Qingluan suddenly kept her in suspense, a hint of slyness on the handsome young face.
"However you want to deal with it, I'll do as you say, because I like you," Tu Qingluan confessed ceaselessly.
"Well....you be careful too, I'm leaving first." Yan Xi looked him in the eye for a moment, and thought of how he had been hurt helping her today, so she softened her guard a little towards outsiders.
After Yan Xi returned home, she threw her school uniform stained with red liquid into the trash can.
A hero saves the beauty?
Humph, Yan Xi threw the white ointment into the trash can as well.
The purple bruises on her hands still had faint traces, long gone.
Yan Xi lowered her head as if she could hear Shen Qiuyi's words to her after school yesterday: "Be careful with your behavior, don't stand out so much...they..."
"...Forget what I said." Shen Qiuyi looked at her face for a few seconds, then left hesitantly without looking at Yan Xi again.
【Wrong, the task target is not excluded either, darling.】
Yan Xi's phone screen was still flashing, the light and shadow of countless messages falling on her face, dividing that beautiful face into a cold and arrogant look.
Countless friend requests swarmed in,
"Are you there?"
"Beauty, I'm from Class 10..."
"Be my girlfriend..."
The latest one: Tu Young Master Tu: Are you home?
The vibration of the phone hasn't stopped for days, it's really scary... you can feel the terrifying attraction bestowed by this beauty even through the screen.
What if this attribute was ugly instead?
This question doesn't seem to matter much...but I have to speed things up.
When she came back from vacation, the grades were posted directly on the bulletin board at the school gate.
In the morning when she came back, the bulletin board was surrounded by people like a flood, like zombies besieging a city.
"Damn, brother, your grandfather beat you until your brain opened up! You're sitting steadily behind me, waiting until the PE exam is over, you'll rank in the top 20 in class!" Kong Jie slapped Zhou Zhou awake in his seat.
"Fuck off!"
Zhou Zhou was slapped awake abruptly, extremely irritable.
"I'm formally notifying you!"
The class was also very lively, with endless discussions.
Zhou Zhou was groggy and just remembered this.
"What was Yan Xi's score?"
"....No way, brother, do you like her? So concerned about her, if you like her go see for yourself! Damn, I thought you had a thing for Ji Yao? You got over it so quickly!" Kong Jie's big face got close up.
"Do you believe I'll get over you too!" Zhou Zhou slapped Kong Jie's face and said viciously.
Kong Jie hurriedly shrank back in fright, shuddering with cold.
Zhou Zhou was too lazy to talk to him, and went out to see the scoreboard himself. He saw that Yan Xi was standing in front of the scoreboard, while Tu Qingluan was blocking the crowd for her, looking from afar as if she was being held in his arms.
Damn it, she really caught a rich man.
Zhou Zhou didn't know why seeing this made him a little irritated, as if only he knew the other's true face, while everyone else was bewitched by that face.
【There were some mistakes in performance this time, probably those subjective questions in Chinese. The answer templates here are a bit different from my previous school, I need to do more template exercises when I get back.】 Yan Xi looked at the scoreboard lost in thought, subconsciously digging her palms.
"Xi Xi, where's your name?" Tu Qingluan saw his own name, around 30th place. After all, there was an elite class pressing down on them, and there were 3 key classes, so his score was pretty good, he guessed he ranked around 3rd in class this time.
Yan Xi had just arrived at school when she was dragged over by the sharp-eyed Tu Qingluan to see the rankings together.
What happened after the exam that day seemed to have been suppressed by Tu Qingluan, almost no one had mentioned it again, and that fat guy with the knife never appeared in front of her again.
The two tacitly did not mention that matter.
"My name is above." Yan Xi replied, looking past Tu Qingluan and noticing Zhou Zhou in the distance.
"What do you mean above?" Tu Qingluan asked puzzledly.
Zhou Zhou and Yan Xi looked directly at each other.
Just as Zhou Zhou was about to ask about her score, he was interrupted by a loud shout.
"Damn! First place this time wasn't Qi Chairman!"
"What?"
"Who was it then?"
"Damn!!! It's the transfer student...."
"It's me." Yan Xi broke in.
Yan Xi smiled slightly at Zhou Zhou, arrogantly and unbridled.
