Chapter 43
Quan Zhisui went with Wei Shixu to get lunch, looking peculiar, with his words constantly replaying in her mind.
It was so dissonant, so unaccustomed.
Like he was coquetting.
Was Wei Shixu possessed?
This subtle emotion persisted until the two sat down across from each other after getting their food. Quan Zhisui stared at him as she ate.
Wei Shixu ate very carefully, chewing slowly, not avoiding her gaze.
Quan Zhisui squinted her eyes, it was really rare for someone to meet her so direct, almost scrutinizing stare.
He was not only not embarrassed, he even looked somewhat delighted?
Quan Zhisui didn't understand what he was so happy about, and asked while shoving in a bite: "You were there the whole time earlier, watching Zuo Zichen beat people up?"
Although that girl secretly photographed and spread rumors which was very wrong, Zuo Zichen beat her too severely, going overboard.
Wei Shixu looked composed: "Yeah, I was watching."
Quan Zhisui: "You never help other students?"
Wei Shixu: "Didn't I help you? By tutoring you."
Quan Zhisui changed the question: "Did you see who Zuo Zichen was beating?"
It was chaotic then, the girl was also splattered all over by the food and rice, her face completely unrecognizable.
Wei Shixu: "Zhou Chun from Class 3."
Quan Zhisui raised her brow: "You know her, but still refused to save her even when seeing her dying?"
That girl was almost beaten into a pulp by Zuo Zichen.
Wei Shixu found this question somewhat amusing: "What does her life and death have to do with me?"
Quan Zhisui: "Huh, as expected of you."
Extremely cold-blooded.
Wei Shixu asked: "Why did you help her then? It was her who spread the rumors, aren't you angry?"
Quan Zhisui: "I was angry, but beating people is wrong."
Wei Shixu paused for a moment, staring at her and said: "Can't believe these words came out of your mouth."
This time it was Quan Zhisui who couldn't meet his gaze, she shifted her eyes away and lowered her head to eat.
She was rendered speechless, caught by him on her logical inconsistency!
...
In the afternoon, Zhou Chun didn't come to class, apparently she took leave.
After such an incident, she completely lost face to stay in school.
This made Zuo Zichen extremely happy!
He could finally openly act as siblings with Quan Zhisui in school.
Kong Mingze and Wei Shixu went to the cafeteria to eat. Quan Zhisui packed up her bag and walked out of the classroom with Zhuge Ying.
Zuo Zichen fawned up to take her bag: "Sis, let me."
Quan Zhisui directly threw the bag at him.
Zhuge Ying was surprised: "He's tamed now?"
Zuo Zichen's notoriously bad behavior in Liang Secondary School was plain for all to see. He would only act as a complete underling in front of Quan Zhisui, like two completely different people.
Quan Zhisui raised a brow at her: "You can ask Kong Mingze or Wei Shixu for photos."
Zhuge Ying was intrigued: "Are there stories behind this?"
Quan Zhisui smiled and said: "The story of beating him half to death."
They spoke softly, Zuo Zichen didn't hear. Some face was preserved for him.
He fawned up and said: "Sis, is she your friend? Sis's friends are my friends!"
Quan Zhisui: "She's our class monitor, Zhuge Ying."
Zuo Zichen was averse to good students. He muttered: "Class monitor again..."
He had just beat up a class monitor at noon. He always felt these class cadres were two-faced hypocrites.
Quan Zhisui's eyes turned cold: "She helped prevent the story of our different fathers from spreading out. You better know your place."
Zuo Zichen immediately saw Zhuge Ying in a new light. He quickly stuck out his hand: "Sis Ying! I'll carry your bag from now on, I'll cover you at Liang Secondary School!"
Zhuge Ying declined: "No need, my bag isn't heavy."
Zuo Zichen cared a lot about this matter. He lowered his voice and asked: "Sis Ying, how did you manage to do it? What did you say?"
Zhuge Ying: "Many things don't need to be explicitly stated. I just told the teachers two facts: First, Quan Zhisui is living at the Zuo house; Second, Quan Zhisui is your sister with blood ties. "
What she said was all truthful, but she hid some key information very cleverly, deftly avoiding the crucial points. This made the teachers subconsciously think they were ordinary relatives.
A very successful misleading!
Zuo Zichen was amazed: "So clever, is this how smart people handle things?"
Much more advanced than his brawling and the like!
Zhuge Ying laughed: "Your sister is also very clever."
Zuo Zichen was dazzled by Zhuge Ying's smile.
He suddenly turned and asked: "Sis, can I pursue your class monitor?"
Pow!
Quan Zhisui hit someone again.
