Chapter 73
After lunch.
Lu Qin came to Class 1's classroom for the first time in a week and asked a student by the window to call Wei Shixu.
The noisy classroom instantly fell silent, everyone waiting to see Wei Shixu's reaction.
Wei Shixu put down his phone and walked out.
He arrived at the corridor and looked at the apologetic transfer student in front of him.
"I'm sorry for causing you trouble," Lu Qin said apologetically. "How about I treat you to a meal as an apology?"
She said it casually, not expecting Wei Shixu to agree.
To her surprise, Wei Shixu responded with a different statement: "The photos were well taken."
The professional touch must have been the work of an off-campus photography team, right?
Lu Qin was stunned, meeting his icy gaze.
She quickly adjusted her emotions and said, "I'm really sorry about the photos. I have no idea who would do something so mean! By the way, did you give the wooden box to your grandpa when you went home last weekend?"
Wei Shixu replied, "He's my grandpa, not yours. I threw it away."
"Threw it away?!" This was completely beyond Lu Qin's expectations. She couldn't help but ask, "Did you open it before throwing it away?"
As soon as the words left her mouth, she regretted it. She had been too hasty and had revealed too much!
Wei Shixu's gaze turned mocking. He glanced at the rooftop of the opposite building and said coldly, "You really are a stumbling block on my path to winning her back."
With that, he turned and walked back to the classroom.
Lu Qin frowned as she watched him leave, her expression uneasy as she walked away from the corridor.
The situation was taking an unexpected turn!
How did things end up like this?
Students from all four classes in the corridor were watching, curious about what the two had discussed.
The students of Class 3 were no exception. After watching Lu Qin leave the corridor, they started chatting in the classroom.
"Hey! Wei Shixu's grandpa isn't just Lu Qin's savior; he even sponsored her with some resources!"
"That's right, she's a beneficiary of the Wei family's support!"
"She seems to know a lot about the Wei family and Wei Shixu."
"Lu Qin has come to look for Wei Shixu twice now, and both times he went out to talk to her. That's never happened before."
"Do you think Wei Shixu will get involved with her?"
At that moment, Zhou Chun couldn't help but let out a laugh: "Heh."
Zhou Chun was already annoyed. She usually spent her lunch break on the rooftop of the opposite building, studying or memorizing vocabulary. It was her little sanctuary.
But today, for some reason, the door to the rooftop was locked!
It hadn't been locked yesterday!
Now she had to study in the classroom, enduring her classmates' disdainful looks.
The whole class turned to look at her.
That afternoon.
Wei Shixu went to the school's back hill again.
To his surprise, the place was clean. No cigarette butts or instant noodle trash. Had Zuo Zichen and his gang moved their base?
Wei Shixu then went to the school store and found one of Zuo Zichen's lackeys.
"Five?" he asked.
The lackey, now aware of Wei Shixu's terrifying background, jumped up and saluted: "Reporting, Boss Wei! I'm Three!"
Wei Shixu nodded. "Three, go get Zuo Zichen and tell him to meet me at the back hill."
With that, he headed there first.
Quan Zhisui had blocked him, so he couldn't send her any more messages. But this only made a seed sprout in Wei Shixu's heart.
What he feared most was Quan Zhisui not reacting at all—staying silent, indifferent, and treating him like air.
Blocking him might seem extreme, but at least it was a reaction.
A reaction was good.
And she called him a jerk!
Did that mean she acknowledged that something had happened between them?
Now, he just needed to find a way to provoke an even bigger reaction from her.
Not long after Wei Shixu arrived at the back hill, Zuo Zichen showed up, accompanied by the same lackey.
Both of them were nervous and didn't dare to speak.
Zuo Zichen felt like crying. He had decided to turn over a new leaf, to study hard, follow his sister's lead, and become a valuable person.
But now Wei Shixu had summoned him. Was he going to retaliate and beat him up again?
If that was the case, so be it. He deserved it.
So when Zuo Zichen arrived, he looked resigned and prepared to slam himself into the wall.
No need for Young Master Wei to dirty his hands.
But to his shock, Wei Shixu said, "Come on, hit me."
Zuo Zichen: "???"
Lackey Three: "!!!"
Wei Shixu even leaned closer, his eyes glinting. "Hit me hard. Make it obvious, like I've been beaten to a pulp."
Zuo Zichen was on the verge of a breakdown: "Boss Wei!!! What are you doing?! If you want to torture me, you don't have to go this far! Are you trying to wipe out my entire family?!!!"
How could he dare hit Wei Shixu?!
Lackey Three was also freaking out: "This is terrifying! So terrifying!!!"
Wei Shixu was getting a headache from their reactions. He glanced around and spotted a fake rock formation. "That fake hill looks pretty high. Jumping from there could break a leg, right? Let's try it."
Zuo Zichen and Lackey Three rushed to stop him.
"Boss Wei!!! No!!! Please, don't!!!"
"Boss Zuo, Boss Wei! Stop this, I'm so scared!!!"
