I Just Want to Freeload on Your Luck - Chapter 50
“What?! Zhang Yufen is no longer in her previous hotel? She can’t be found?!”
Mr Zhao’s backlog of anger erupted like a volcano for a whole day. Every strand of hair was filled with mania and anger. “Why can’t you find her? She is just a nanny, is she hard to find?! Isn’t all the contact information she provided when she came to work before registered? What about her phone number and emergency contacts? Where’s her address?! Are you guys just sitting around, waiting to get paid?!”
The people below him were trembling, afraid to speak.
Most of the time, Zhao Hongzhi was a reasonable boss who would treat his subordinates generously. Their salaries were also high enough. But this time, things may have gotten way out of control.
Zhao Hongzhi’s reputation will be ruined if Zhang Yufen is not found.
There were indeed cheaters among their circle of friends, but there has never been one who has been affected this badly— especially if it was an affair with an old nanny which resulted in an illegitimate daughter being raised at home for 18 years.
Therefore, the consequence of Zhao Hongzhi being so angry that his blood pressure soared was expected.
“The address she filled in is the address of a remote mountain village, close to the mountain near Tongcheng. We have sent additional staff to find her. As for her phone, we couldn’t get through to her. I’m afraid she might have thrown away the phone card and escaped.”
“Can’t get through?! Let me try!”
After a few beeps, there was an artificial voice explaining the call could not be connected.
Mr Zhao smashed the phone in anger. It broke apart on the opposite wall and fell to the ground.
Everyone in the living room trembled subconsciously.
“Ran off.” Mr Zhao, like a fighting beast in a cage with nowhere to vent, gritted his teeth and said these two words.
“Very well, you’ve escaped.”
Every time it was read, the blood pressure of the Zhao family members who were present went up a bit. A seed of anger spread in everyone’s minds.
If Zhang Yufen was not guilty, this was just a misunderstanding and it was just a method of framing that one of the Zhao family’s enemies came up with, then why should Zhang Yufen abscond with the fear of having committed a crime?
Now that she has escaped, this means that Zhao Yuan’s comments on the school forum are infinitely close to the truth.
Mr Zhao furiously ordered, “Then keep looking!”
Zhao Zhanhuai also gave an ultimatum to the security company. “She must be found within three days.”
Otherwise, after three days, things may have reached the point of irreversibility and everyone would have the impression of his father messing around. This was what they meant with the proverb ‘a rumor only requires one word, but to stop a rumor requires one to exhaust all of one’s energy.
After the security company’s people left, Mr Zhao was still anxious.
When Zhao Zhanhuai saw that he was about to have high blood pressure and might be hospitalized, he quickly poured him a glass of water. “Why not get some rest? I will take care of everything else.”
“How can I rest?” Mr Zhao rubbed his eyebrows. He could only feel his vision going black. “Everything has gone wrong recently. You’ve lost two or three projects and I’ve also become messed up here! The shareholders have blown up my phone with their incessant calls and I have to attend a meeting tonight.”
Although he really didn’t want to doubt her, Mr Zhao had already been tossed madly by the recent events. He retracted his gaze and murmured to Zhao Zhanhuai, “Zhang Yufen is a nanny who has stayed in our house for more than 10 years. She only knows how to buy groceries and take care of the house. Her mobile phone is still an old model with only 2G available and she is not very tech savvy. Did someone tell her about it? How else would she know that such a big thing had happened and escape in time?”
Mr Zhao’s voice was not loud, but he was very angry, so Zhao Yuan naturally heard it.
It was undeniable that after Mr Zhao inherited the family business, the fact that he could earn snowball the profits made meant he still had a bit of acumen.
Zhao Yuan wiped her tears and did not speak, knowing that it would all be over as soon as she spoke.
Madam Zhao, who was sitting on the sofa, saw it and she couldn’t bear it. After all, Zhao Yuan was raised by her own hands, and there is no way she could sit idly seeing Zhao Yuan cry.
She said to Mr Zhao, “Enough, stop suspecting everything. Who in this family can tip off Zhang Yufen? Besides, it’s not confirmed whether Zhang Yufen is Yuanyuan’s biological mother or not. What if this is a complete rumor created by one of your business competitors? It is possible for the other party to be buying some time by moving Zhang Yufen away just to prevent you from proving your innocence.”
Mr Zhao was not in the mood to deal with Madam Zhao. He waved his hand in annoyance and said, “Both you and Zhao Yuan should go upstairs.”
After that, Mr Zhao stared at Zhao Yuan. “You will stay at home for a few days and study by yourself.”
Zhao Yuan nodded tearfully. She stood up from the sofa, looking like a weak willow branch trembling in the wind.
Mr Zhao and Zhao Zhanhuai watched her as she went upstairs. They could see that she had lost a lot of weight recently, but they couldn’t be bothered about it anymore.
…
Zhao Yuan returned to her room, closed the door and leaned against it. Her mood has dwindled into a pot of porridge.
After returning from the training camp, things have moved in a completely unforeseen direction.
Before the training camp, the family members were acting a little distant with Zhao Yuan because Zhao Mingxi ran away from home and because they heard about Pu Shuang and the others’ harsh treatment towards Zhao Mingxi.
She thought she could win another round.
But she never expected that such big news would break when she returned from the training camp.
Zhao Yuan didn’t believe that it was Mr Zhao’s business competitors.
The posts on the forum were all aimed at her.
And that person was good at finding her most sensitive spots— letting the Zhao family know that she was Zhang Yufen’s daughter was more ferocious than telling the whole school that she was just a fake daughter.
Zhao Yuan really couldn’t think of anyone else except Zhao Mingxi and Fu Yangxi who would do things like this.
And the biggest question was, was she related to Zhang Yufen?
Zhao Yuan was so scared that her blood went cold.
…
She hugged her shoulders and sat on the ground for a while. She gritted her teeth, took out her phone and wanted to send a message to Zhang Yufen, asking her to get as far away as possible.
But the moment she took out her cell phone, she immediately realized that she couldn’t send it anymore. People from the security company said that Zhang Yufen’s cell phone could no longer be connected. If she sent a text message now, she might be found out.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yuan immediately cleared all the messages between them and blocked and deleted Zhang Yufen’s mobile phone number with shaky hands.
It was not enough. She fearfully restored the phone to the factory settings until she left no clues.
*
The circle was not big, let alone Fu Yangxi was also paying special attention to this matter.
News reached his ears in the evening.
“She ran away?” Fu Yangxi stopped eating his apple. He threw the apple into the trash can and frowned. “Did someone tip her off?”
The person on the call said, “Young Master Fu, do I need to check with the three telecommunications companies?”
“Check, of course you have to check.” Fu Yangxi thought for a while, then said, “Also, check the nanny’s history for the past 50 years, her place of origin and whether she has any other criminal record which will help to increase the sentence in the future. All aspects must be checked. Then check her bank card consumption records in the last few days. If she wants to run, she must first withdraw a sum of money. Doesn’t she have a passport? She should still be in China, so she can only use the high-speed rail or long-distance transport services. She can’t be far. You will find her the day after tomorrow at the latest.”
“What happens after we find her?”
“Send her to the Zhao family. I want to see what the Zhao family will do.”
Fu Yangxi said, “Also, has Lawyer Gao gone abroad recently? Ask him to come back quickly and wait with the team of lawyers. After she is found, it will be a matter for the court.”
Fu Yangxi was very calm on the surface today. His tone was also calm, but internally he couldn’t wait to end the nanny’s life.
The caller answered, and after a while, it seemed that he had managed to contact the Zhao family. He said to Fu Yangxi, “Young Master Fu, we have sent some information to Zhao Zhanhuai. Zhao Zhanhuai called and wants to thank you.”
“It’s not him I’m helping. I don’t want to talk to him, it’s bad luck.” Fu Yangxi said coldly and hung up the phone immediately.
After hanging up the phone, the anger in Fu Yangxi’s heart was finally dispersed.
He lay on the sofa, crossed his leg and clicked on the WeChat dialog with Zhao Mingxi. He didn’t know if she was asleep now. He wanted to send something, but he racked his brains and didn’t know what to say.
He stayed on the WeChat page until this morning. Zhao Mingxi asked him what he was eating. He turned the breakfast he had eaten to a better angle, took a photo and sent it. Then the two chatted casually about when they were going to school.
Fu Yangxi flipped through the WeChat chat history and found that since some time ago, the two people had been using WeChat to chat more frequently, and the conversations began to increase.
Zhao Mingxi would also take the initiative to ask him about other things— For example, during the training camp, she asked what to do if the washing powder could not wash off the oil stains on her clothes.
Damn it, how would I know such a thing?
I’ve never washed my clothes personally!
So that day, he jumped up quickly and almost turned on his computer to check Baidu for an hour. He summed up all the methods and sent it to her in a Word document. He even began considering whether to ask someone to send washing powder to her or use this as an excuse to go there in person.
But while he was thinking about it, Little Mask said, “Thank you so much. I will wash it tomorrow. I’ll go off to sleep first.” and beat him back into the winter wind.
“…” His face immediately went hot. His head felt warm with the urge to run over in the middle of the night. Will this scare her?
In short, Fu Yangxi was not so slow. He was able to notice that the messages Zhao Mingxi sent to him now were no longer the kind of messages that he received when she first changed classes. It had no substance in them, as if he was used as a robotic account to be tested with three full stops.
She usually wakes up early in the morning, and if it rains, she will send him a message, asking him to bring an umbrella.
If she saw any funny posts on Weibo or saw interesting things on the way, she would share them with him.
Fu Yangxi was happy, but at the same time he did not dare to think too much about it for fear that it would be the same situation as last time.
It was more uncomfortable to fall from heaven to hell than to never have owned her love.
At this moment, Fu Yangxi was holding his phone, typing two words in the WeChat dialog box and then deleting them. The degree of entanglement was no less than that of Zhao Mingxi over there.
Mingxi was sitting in front of the desk lamp. She was planning to send him a message, but she saw that he was constantly in the state of ‘the other party is typing’.
Mingxi wanted to see what he wanted to send, so she waited for 10 minutes.
While waiting, she completed another set of questions, but he hasn’t sent it yet.
So Mingxi went to wash her hair and blew it dry. After blowing her hair, she couldn’t help but pick up her mobile phone to take a look.
The other party was still typing!
???
Is Fu Yangxi going to deliver a presidential election speech?
Mingxi glanced at the alarm clock on the desk. It has been an hour yet he is still typing??!
Fu Yangxi was still thinking about how to comfort her when Mingxi’s WeChat jumped out unexpectedly.
Zhao Mingxi: “What happened?”
Fu Yangxi was startled. As his phone was not held firmly, it fell off the sofa with a “crack”.
He also fell over. He stretched out his hand to grab his phone, his face all flushed.
After picking up the phone, he was afraid that Zhao Mingxi’s next sentence would be “I’m off to sleep. Good night.”, so he didn’t care about wiping off the dust on the phone and hurriedly replied: “Why haven’t you slept yet?!”
Over there, Mingxi felt that Fu Yangxi was particularly obsessed with “sleeping”. Last time, she planned to send a message, but he immediately asked her to go to sleep.
She thought that Fu Yangxi was going to remind her like an old father again, so she quickly said: “I’ll go to bed soon, good night.”
Fu Yangxi: “…”
See? Every time I look for her, she’ll immediately say that she wants to sleep.
Fu Yangxi felt bitter.
He suddenly wondered jealously that if Shen Liyao sent her a message, would she say that she wanted to sleep within five seconds?
Although Mingxi said she was going to sleep, she still checked every second if Fu Yangxi sent a message.
In the next second, her phone lit up. Fu Yangxi sent a message.
Mingxi’s heart throbbed immediately and the corners of her mouth curled up involuntarily. She hurriedly opened the message.
“About what happened recently, don’t you have anything you want to say?”
Fu Yangxi had just frantically searched a bunch of ways to comfort people on Baidu. He learned that the three most important steps were to listen and empathize. First, listen to the girl’s pressure and grievances, and then solve the problem from her perspective.
He intended to be a mature man first and listen to Little Mask’s complaints and grievances.
On the other side, Mingxi’s hand which was wiping her hair paused for a moment. She stared at the line of words that Fu Yangxi sent over and her eyes went wide. Her face felt inexplicably hot— What do you mean? ‘What happened recently’? What has happened recently?! I merely gave him a small hair tie and couldn’t help but stare at him during class.
Could it be that he found out that I have a crush on him?!
Mingxi’s heartbeat suddenly quickened. She sat on the bed weakly, staring at the phone at a loss.
Because of the failed experience of chasing Shen Liyao last time, Mingxi didn’t dare to confess rashly.
Just before Mingxi responded, Fu Yangxi’s next message jumped out.
“I mean if you have been facing something unhappy, it will be much better to talk about it. Don’t keep it in your heart.”
“…”
Mingxi’s “What do you mean? Did you guess something? Can you just clarify what you mean?” which were typed out on the dialog box were deleted instantly.
Does this person know that my heart jumped to my throat just now!
Mingxi exhaled a long breath. She slowed down ehr heartbeat and felt a feeling of excitement, like riding a roller coaster.
She wished to beat Fu Yangxi up: “Can you finish typing in one go?”
Fu Yangxi: “? Why, do you think my typing is slow?”
It took him a lot of effort to stumble and spell out this sentence. He has never been so gentle before.
Yet here she was, disliking his slow typing.
So Shen Liyao typed quickly. That damn octopus.
Mingxi knew that Fu Yangxi was also worried that the Zhao family’s affairs would affect her.
She thought for a while, and then seriously said: “Xi ge, I’m really alright. I’m fine. The sun will rise tomorrow as usual and the birds will still chirp tomorrow. There is nothing wrong so long as I have you guys.”
Fu Yangxi looked at her practically self-defeating remarks and only felt that she must be in a bad mood. All her reassurances were lies to him.
But she doesn’t want to tell me!
What should I do?
There will definitely be many things like this in the future, but he was simply the worst at comforting people.
Fu Yangxi really wanted to take up a class on ‘how to comfort people’ immediately in the middle of the night.
Fu Yangxi stood up impatiently and walked twice around the 200-square-meter apartment.
Then he stopped, and inspiration flashed.
As a mature man, he transferred some money to Mingxi via Alipay.
Mingxi over there saw a message pop up on the phone. Her eyes widened in disbelief. She clicked on it and repeatedly counted the number of zeros.
After she finished counting, she took a deep breath.
“???”
Mingxi was shocked: “Why did you send me half a million yuan?”
Fu Yangxi: “There’s too many zeros in my bank account. I find it annoying. Why don’t you spend it on my behalf?”
Mingxi: “…”
Sorry, I was not angered by the Zhao family during the day, but my fist is itchy at night because of your words.
=========
*
The next day, the topic about the true and false daughters Zhao Yuan and Zhao Mingxi did not disappear. Instead, it intensified.
Fortunately, one of the parties to the matter, Zhao Yuan, took a week off and didn’t come to school. Otherwise, there would be a large group of people coming to see how Zhao Yuan was feeling now.
And it was this group of people in the Evergreen Class who felt very shocked.
Everyone had finally come back to their senses.
“According to Zhao Yuan’s father— no, now he is her adoptive father. Her adoptive father’s assistant said that their family brought Zhao Mingxi back two years ago, and the whole family, including Zhao Yuan herself, had already learned that she was not their biological daughter. Yes, Zhao Mingxi is the real daughter. Then why could Zhao Yuan listen to our praises of her as if nothing had happened in the past two years? Last time when I praised her that new bag was beautiful and that her family must have given her a lot of pocket money, there was no expression of guilt on her face at all!”
“There are more instances than that. Didn’t our class also spread the rumor that Zhao Mingxi was an illegitimate daughter? Zhao Yuan heard this and didn’t even deny it. Where did the rumor that slandered Zhao Mingxi come from?”
“Also, there was E Xiaoxia’s previous School Beauty voting incident against Zhao Mingxi. Didn’t she also say that Zhao Yuan was two-faced? It’s just that everyone was on Zhao Yuan’s side at the time.”
The girls were gossiping and deliberately figuring out more details.
Some boys still held onto their affection for Zhao Yuan and felt that the girls were too sensitive.
But it’s not easy to say anything, because in fact, Zhao Yuan was also completely selfish toward the boys— the last time Lu Ye helped her, he was beaten up by his father.
Although it was said that the ‘help’ ended up as a failure, she shouldn’t have immediately torn up Lu Ye’s movie ticket, right?! She didn’t give him any respect at all?!
From start to finish, Lu Ye looked like a humble licking dog. He fell into a bout of depression for several days.
At that time, because Zhao Yuan was the daughter of the Zhao family, no boys dared to criticize her. They only felt that it might not have been intentional and that the rich were naturally arrogant.
But now they just found it funny. Since she herself knew that she was a fake, where did she get the confidence and arrogance to do so?
Listening to the discussion of these girls in the class, E Xiaoxia only felt a sense of satisfaction.
God knows how she has been practically isolated by Zhao Yuan in class for the past two to three months!
No one wanted to recite English words with her! No one wanted to eat with her! In fact, except for Miao Ran, none of the boys and girls in the class would say anything to her!
Even no one wanted to get matched with her for the mandatory volleyball group in the physical education class! When the teacher asked in a strange way, there was no one to help her. She could only stand on the spot and curl up her toes tightly. Did Zhao Yuan think of her feelings?!
E Xiaoxia took a deep breath and walked over to the few girls who were talking quietly. She tried to restore the previous relationship with them and said hello, “What are you guys talking about? Can we talk together?”
In the end, the few girls who saw her still acted as if they had seen some poisonous scorpion. They quickly packed up their textbooks and left the classroom.
E Xiaoxia: …
For f*ck’s sake, why?
Fu Yangxi didn’t sleep on the table as usual this morning. He was wearing his noise-canceling headphones while secretly scanning the forum behind Zhao Mingxi’s back.
Fu Yangxi had never stepped foot into the forum in the past, for he felt that the gossip was delaying his sleep. However, after seeing the scandals of Zhao Mingxi and Shen Liyao on the forum, he registered a random account which was a regular sight in the forum.
He was so angry that his heart hurt while he scrolled. But after a while he couldn’t help poking in to find further abuse.
The direction of the wind seems to have changed a bit during this time.
Because the interaction between Little Mask and Shen Liyao had decreased, the group of gossiping people also spoke less about them. In turn, a small group of people began to gossip about him and Little Mask.
Fu Yangxi raised his eyebrows and tried his best to control his triumphant expression. He then lowered his head to open the posts about himself and Little Mask. While watching those people talk, the corners of his mouth rose to his temples.
However, he quickly became dissatisfied with it.
Why?
It didn’t matter if the amount of discussions revolving around him and Little Mask were minimal. He could let it go if there were a few withered posts like autumn frost after the rain.
Even these people’s imaginative scenarios of us are not as powerful as the ones between Little Mask and the guy with the surname Shen!
There are a lot of detailed stories with the surname Shen in it and there are a lot of pictures of them, but there are barely any pictures where she was in the same frame with me!
This doesn’t make sense!
Before Fu Yangxi could reminisce about the sweet moments between him and Zhao Mingxi, he had already made himself angry again.
His heart, lungs and ribs were aching. He quickly turned his head and glared at Ke Chengwen.
Ke Chengwen was writing his homework and felt at a loss.
Fu Yangxi waved his phone and Ke Chengwen understood. Quickly, with the pressure of the teacher on the podium, he took out his mobile phone, opened WeChat and glanced at it.
Fu Yangxi: “Look at the forum. I don’t have a single photo with Zhao Mingxi! Why is that so? Aren’t I more photogenic than the guy with the surname Shen? Why did no one take pictures of me!”
Ke Chengwen dare not say that he had a girl who secretly photographed him on the first day of school three years ago, but before the next day, he had someone delete the photo and sent a lawyer’s letter to the other party to warn the other girl. It scared the girl so much that she cried!
Young Master Fu, have you forgotten this incident that happened merely three years ago? Is your brain a paramecium?! Huh?!
Of course, Ke Chengwen only dared to roar in his heart. He honestly replied, “Or I will find a chance to find an angle to take a sneak shot of you?”
Fu Yangxi didn’t want to show that he was satisfied with his answer, so he replied without punctuation, “Go and figure it out.”
Ke Chengwen understood instantly.
What he meant to do was to contact the people on the forum immediately, clear the photos of Shen Liyao and Zhao Mingxi and delete the ones that should be deleted. If they can be forced to replace them with photos of him and Zhao Mingxi, that would be the best.
Ke Chengwen complained mentally, what is the difference between this and those fake companies forcing people to ship a certain couple?
But Ke Chengwen didn’t dare to say this. He immediately carried out his orders.
After Fu Yangxi found something to do for Ke Chengwen, he then switched his focus back to the forum. He was still really unable to contain the fire in his heart, so he started a 300-round battle with a few people who insisted that “Shen Liyao and Zhao Mingxi were born to be together”.
“What the hell are you talking about? Zhao Mingxi said that she doesn’t like Shen Liyao anymore, can’t you understand human words????”
The four question marks represented Young Master Fu’s outrage.
After he finished sending it out, he realized that although Little Mask had personally said that she didn’t like Shen Liyao, not many people seemed to know it.
This group of people on the forum didn’t know.
The whole school didn’t know about it, and they even continued to ship the two of them.
Fu Yangxi glanced sideways at Little Mask who had her head down, focused on the question. Then, he continued to stare at the pictures of them in the same frame on the forum. Thinking about it, he felt like a male junior now, and the kind that was unsuccessful, squeezing his head and racking his brains to get the upper hand. His heart felt so sore and so wronged.
But he couldn’t force her to go on the forum to clarify things.
…
Mingxi was working on the questions when, from the corner of her eyes, she felt that today’s Fu Yangxi looked a little lifeless.
As soon as he put on his headphones, he ignored everyone, lay on the table and buried his head in sleep.
The black short-haired hedgehog’s head read ‘destroy the scum’ on every strand of his hair.
He was so tall and it must be really uncomfortable to sleep in the seat. Mingxi thought that if she had the opportunity, she must figure out why he always can’t sleep at night.
When class was in session, it wasn’t easy for Mingxi to ask, so she leaned forward on the table cautiously and asked in a low voice, “What’s wrong? Did you feel bad about the money when you got up this morning? I knew it. I’ll transfer it back to you.”
Fu Yangxi: “…”
Her breath fell on his ears, causing his ears to go red. He thought she was going to say something, but in the end, he heard something that was pretty much equivalent to “Does your stomach hurt? Drink more hot water, I’ll go play my game first.”
“…”
Mingxi only felt Fu Yangxi’s mood falling lower.
She scratched her head, so should the money be transferred back or not?
…
Although most people in the Gold Medal Class were focused on learning and competitions, there was also a degree of discussion about Zhao Yuan.
Shen Liyao was absent-minded for two days.
He pressed his lips tightly. For the first time ever, he stared at his phone in class.
He was hesitant, wondering how to talk about this with Zhao Mingxi.
His family and the Zhao family were family acquaintances, so he knew about the relationship between Zhao Yuan and Zhao Mingxi since that day two years ago.
It’s just that this incident was a scandal for the Zhao family at the time, so the Zhao family was unwilling to share it.
For the past two years, he pretended not to know, but was instructed by Aunt Dong to take care of Zhao Mingxi.
He pressed his finger on the text message box, but all his messages came back with red exclamation marks.
Only then did Shen Liyao realize that Zhao Mingxi had blocked him on all platforms in order not to have any contact with him.
As she said, if he no longer tries to enter her life, they can still be friends. If he uses Dong Hui to find Zhao Mingxi like the last time, she will remove him from her list of friends.
Then, is it really impossible to go back to how it was before?
For the first time in Shen Liyao’s life dictionary, the word ‘dissatisfied’ appeared.
After class, Ye Bai nagged next to him, “God Yao, help me check an IP. What kind of an idiot is this user 95835968 on the forum? They keep on forcing me to admit that Zhao Mingxi doesn’t like you!”
“By the way, not a lot of people know about this, right? How did they know about this? Or did they imagine it?! It’s not the end between you guys yet, so how can the matter between you and Zhao Mingxi be left to them?!”
“In order to fight him for 300 rounds, I didn’t listen carefully to what Mr Jiang said all morning. I’m so mad!”
Shen Liyao glanced at Ye Bai impatiently and ignored him.
Ye Bai also noticed that Shen Liyao was upset, so he immediately cowered and wittily did not speak unless spoken to.
*
All of the businesses in Ke Chengwen’s family were taken care of by the Fu family. Thus, being friends with Fu Yangxi was practically a gift from heaven.
So he was always quite agile with his work.
At lunch time, he went to find a few persons in charge of the school forum and also took the opportunity to follow Fu Yangxi and Zhao Mingxi to the cafeteria as they walked side by side. Then, he took a few pictures of them in the same frame.
Therefore, during the second class in the afternoon, quite a few people found that many posts on the forum discussing the romantic tension between Zhao Mingxi and Shen Liyao had been completely deleted, just like the Internet crackdown, they disappeared simply and rudely without leaving a trace.
Many people immediately became displeased after a bout of confusion.
Is there any right to freedom of speech???
The people who shipped Shen Liyao and Zhao Mingxi also felt that their home was destroyed in an instant.
The fun of gossip in their high school lives was gone.
Especially Ye Bai, after 300 rounds of battle in the morning, he still wanted to continue attacking that big fool in the afternoon.
In the end, he found out that the place where he and the opponent almost fought was missing?
It’s just gone?
What’s going on?!
When Ye Bai found that it was missing, he immediately approached Shen Liyao.
Shen Liyao also frowned.
After Fu Yangxi just finished complimenting Ke Chengwen’s work speed, he couldn’t help being sneaky. While behind Zhao Mingxi’s back, he faced the corner, logged on to his private account and took a look at the forum.
Seeing that the past photos of Shen Liyao and Zhao Mingxi had been deleted, he finally felt relieved and gave Ke Chengwen a thumbs up without looking back.
Then he began to search for new posts by Ke Chengwen with photos of him and Zhao Mingxi.
He pulled up the corners of his mouth triumphantly, rubbed his face and tried to make himself look normal so that Little Mask would not notice.
In the end.
He thought he would see a lot of “F*ck, what kind of visually pleasing couple is this!” “F*ck they match so well!” “F*ck, I’m shipping this couple!” —
But what he saw was “What the hell, the post with Shen Liyao disappeared and turned into such a few silhouette photos of the school bully?”
Fu Yangxi: …
“Who secretly photographed these photos with the school bully? How dare you take pictures of the school bully, are you looking for death? Did you think that the school bully has turned kind just because he dyed his hair black? And there is no sense of them being a couple even from the back!”
The veins on Fu Yangxi’s forehead throbbed violently: You netizen, do you have such fiery eyes that you can even tell if a couple matches well together from just their backs? Should I give you an award to send you to the moon so you can see if Mars and the Earth go well together as a couple?
“Besides, the title is so misleading. It says that it’s a match made in heaven. I thought it was God Yao and the School Beauty, that’s why I clicked in to see it.”
Fu Yangxi: Are you so blind that you can even click wrongly?
“The boy is too irritating and has a bad temper. He isn’t suitable for our little goddess.”
Fu Yangxi: Why is she not suitable for me? I’m not that bad.
“I agree with the comment upstairs. Besides, he doesn’t know how to be considerate at all. Why are there so many cults now?”
Fu Yangxi’s face had completely darkened: How dare you consider my match made in heaven with the Little Mask as a cult???!!!
Fu Yangxi forcibly held back his anger and tried to restrain himself from scolding these people.
But after taking a deep breath for three minutes, he still couldn’t help it. Who the hell could hold it?
This group of people must be blind, right?!
He started typing frantically on the phone.
Mingxi didn’t know what he was doing, she only saw that he hadn’t slept all day. He was obviously addicted to the Internet, with two dark circles under his eyes. Also, he looked very angry.
As if he was going to make an appointment to fight with someone.
*
Mingxi felt like she had jinxed herself.
She had just felt that Fu Yangxi was going to fight with someone, then during the last physical education class of the day, while she was lazily completing a question in the classroom, she heard one of Fu Yangxi’s followers rushing in, saying that the boys in their International Class and the Gold Medal Class were fighting. It was because when they were playing basketball, there was a conflict and a fight started!
He asked the boys in the classroom to go down to help!
Mingxi stood up quickly. “What about Fu Yangxi?”
“Big—” The younger brother took back the two words that he almost blurted out, and turned it into, “Big Mingxi, please go down and persuade them not to fight anymore. Xi ge is now beating up Shen Liyao from the next class.”
Mingxi: “…”
What the hell is a Big Mingxi?
20 minutes earlier.
The venues of the Gold Medal Class and the International Class do not interfere with each other, and the basketball courts were also divided into two sides of the iron net.
But when Shen Liyao was playing basketball, he saw that Fu Yangxi, who was on the opposite side of the iron net, took off his coat and wiped his sweat, and he was wearing a small black crystal rubber band on his exposed white forearm.
Shen Liyao’s hand movement stopped immediately as well as his footsteps and his heartbeat instantly accelerated.
He suddenly put down his basketball, raised his foot and walked across the iron net, all the while staring at the thing on Fu Yangxi’s wrist—
If he was not mistaken, wasn’t that something that used to appear in Zhao Mingxi’s hair?
The closer Shen Liyao got, the more certain he was that it was indeed Zhao Mingxi’s.
Did Fu Yangxi grab it by himself? After all, he was a school bully who could do anything.
Or could it be given by Zhao Mingxi—
No. That is impossible.
Shen Liyao couldn’t describe his mood at this moment. He only felt that his string of reason that had been tense was about to break.
As soon as he walked over, Ye Bai, Yue Teng and the others were afraid of any conflict, so they quickly followed.
When these few people walked over, Fu Yangxi naturally noticed it.
Fu Yangxi had been watching Shen Liyao for some time. He had a fire in his heart for this enemy a long time ago. If it wasn’t because he cared about Zhao Mingxi’s feelings, he would have beaten Shen Liyao up the moment he came out from the School’s Information Department that day.
Shen Liyao still dares to come over now? Is he seeking death?
Fu Yangxi smashed the basketball in his hand to the ground and it bounced back three meters high. He folded his arms and stared at Shen Liyao who was walking over, his squinted eyes cold and arrogant.
Seeing Shen Liyao staring at the thing on his wrist, he deliberately moved his wrists to show off the thing on his forearm to Shen Liyao. The corners of his mouth curled up as he said coldly, “What? Looking for a fight?”
After rolling up his sleeves, he suddenly felt that Shen Liyao was unworthy of seeing them, so he pondered about it and pulled down his sleeves again.
Fu Yangxi felt that he was losing out if he let Shen Liyao stare at the things Little Mask gave.
He was furious. “What are you looking at? Look again and I’ll gouge out your eyes.”
“You snatched this from Zhao Mingxi?” Shen Liyao suppressed his anger. “It doesn’t matter if you bully other girls, why are you bullying Zhao Mingxi? You even made her run errands and make desserts for you?”
Ke Chengwen who was next to him also hurried over with a group of followers.
Fu Yangxi was too lazy to talk with Shen Liyao on this point, but Ke Chengwen couldn’t help but snort and explained, “Don’t think that the Gold Medal Class can act so arrogantly just because you guys have a good academic score. Through which eye did you see that our Xi ge was forcing Zhao Mingxi?”
Shen Liyao lowered his voice, almost shouting, “Don’t bully others just because you have money! Otherwise, why would she do this for you?!”
Fu Yangxi said coldly, “It has nothing to do with you.”
Shen Liyao always had a voice in his heart that he had forcibly ignored. But now, it was telling him that not only was Zhao Mingxi no longer in love with him, she also fell in love with Fu Yangxi.
Otherwise, why didn’t she look back at him when she pulled Fu Yangxi away last time?
Thinking of this made Shen Liyao’s stomach clench.
And he doubts that Fu Yangxi might not know what it means to steal a girl’s hair tie.
This person is too bad. Zhao Mingxi must not like him.
“I have known Zhao Mingxi much longer than you have,” Shen Liyao suddenly said in a deep voice. “When Zhao Mingxi came here from Tongcheng, we met on her first day here.”
He didn’t know what mood he was in when he said such things. Maybe it was jealousy, or maybe he was hurt by Zhao Mingxi and the person in front of him, so he wanted to hurt the person in front of him.
Shen Liyao sarcastically said, “Do you know where we were on the first day we met, what she was wearing, what kind of weather it was or what was the first expression she had when she saw me?”
Fu Yangxi stared at Shen Liyao, his chest rising and falling, his fists slowly clenching.
“When Zhao Mingxi used to make me desserts, did you know her then? No, you didn’t even know her. She didn’t care about anything beyond the window. She only thought of me and didn’t know who you were.”
“Are you trying to die?” Fu Yangxi squeezed this sentence out from between his teeth. His face was like a layer of frost, his eyes were red and he glared at Shen Liyao with a terrible expression on his face.
Ke Chengwen, Ye Bai and the others watched as the two sides suddenly began to draw their arms, and the atmosphere became extremely tense in an instant.
“And your head of black hair, are you trying to imitate—”
Before Shen Liyao could say anything further, he received a fist in the face. Fu Yangxi threw him to the ground over his shoulder.
“God Yao!”
“F*ck, how dare you hit Xi ge!”
The two sides were triggered immediately, and chaos and war broke out.
When Mingxi ran over with the follower, what she saw was the two tall teenagers who had been forcibly separated and were still kicking each other to death with their long legs.
What in the world happened that they were fighting so fiercely??
Mingxi was taken aback. She didn’t even take a glance at Shen Liyao. Instead, her first glance fell on Fu Yangxi.
Fu Yangxi’s long sleeves were slightly messy. His short hair was also messy. His eyes were red, like an injured little leopard. His fists were clenched and his knuckles seemed to be bleeding.
Mingxi was frightened. She immediately rushed over, raised her hand and touched her face. “Are you alright?”
Fu Yangxi was still staring at Shen Liyao, looking like he could kill him.
After confirming that Fu Yangxi’s face was okay, Mingxi quickly lifted his clothes and took a look. Seeing that there was no bruise on his ribs, Mingxi breathed a sigh of relief. Looks like there’s just scratches on his knuckles.
Everyone stared at them as she lifted Fu Yangxi’s clothes in public. “…”
“Let’s go. I’ll apply some medicine for you before the dean comes.” Mingxi pulled Fu Yangxi and wanted to leave. Seeing that she couldn’t move him, she said to Ke Chengwen, “Can you guys help him back to the classroom?”
When Shen Liyao saw this scene, his body was aching, but his heart was hurting even more. He said in a low voice, “Zhao Mingxi.”
Mingxi realized that it was Shen Liyao who was fighting with Fu Yangxi over there.
She turned around and glanced at Shen Liyao.
If she didn’t look, she wouldn’t know. But now that she did, she was shocked.
Shen Liyao’s mouth was bleeding and there were several shoe prints on his clothes. Zhao Mingxi, who was familiar with Fu Yangxi’s dozens of pairs of shoes, saw it at a glance. They were Fu Yangxi’s shoes.
There was also a bruise beside Shen Liyao’s temple which looked worse than Fu Yangxi, much more miserable.
But… Fu Yangxi’s fist was bleeding!
Mingxi didn’t realize that she was leaning so heavily in favor of him. She ignored Shen Liyao, tugged on Fu Yangxi’s arm and dragged him to the classroom. “You can explain the fight to me later. First, let’s get you patched up. Why are you still in a daze? We’re leaving! You guys, take the coat he threw on the ground.”
The group from the School Representative Team watched as Mingxi’s gaze swept away from Shen Liyao. Her eyes just swept over him??
F*ck! She’s acting way too eccentric, right?
The people in other classes who were onlookers were stunned! Does Zhao Mingxi not like Shen Liyao anymore?
This is a clear case of dumping one and falling for another!
Everyone looked at each other, wondering if they were brainwashed before— How could we have said that Zhao Mingxi likes Shen Liyao?
In fact, the one that she actually likes is Young Master Fu, right???
…
As Fu Yangxi was yelled at by Zhao Mingxi, the little bird, who felt so wronged in his heart, was about to burst out in tears immediately.
But soon after, his arm was hugged by Mingxi and he was dragged to the academic building.
Warmth spread from his arm.
Fu Yangxi suddenly realized— Wait a minute, Little Mask, didn’t you see how badly Shen Liyao was beaten by me?
Just now, when he saw Zhao Mingxi rushing over from the corner of his eyes, he thought that Zhao Mingxi was going to lecture him for beating up Shen Liyao! In the end, Little Mask only cared about whether his fist was scratched????
She didn’t care about the blood at the corner of Shen Liyao’s mouth. Instead, she was worried about whether or not there were scratches on his hands, as if ‘if they are not treated in time, they will be healed automatically’?
Fu Yangxi: …
???
What’s going on?
!!!
Fu Yangxi watched Zhao Mingxi, who was rushing towards the classroom while pulling him, and his footsteps suddenly felt much lighter.
He lowered his eyes, licked his lips and tried to contain his happiness and embarrassment.
Forgive his speculation.
—To her, am I more important than Shen Liyao?
