Chapter 87: Return to School * Vinegar Sea Turns Over

  Xiang Hong ran swiftly while thinking of a countermeasure. Tonight's situation made Song Shuyu look like he had caught her red-handed, but she thought to herself: I haven't done anything wrong to him, why should I feel guilty?!

  But his smile seemed to hide a knife, which made her feel a little frightened and terrified.

  Alas, it was just an unintentional white lie, what's the big deal?

  She ran and ran, feeling like her flustered escape was indeed like having a guilty conscience!

  And she could clearly feel a dark cloud looming over her head, not knowing when it would burst and strike her with a loud crash.

  Song Shuwei went out the door and could only see her figure flash by, her feet itching, hurrying to jump and chase after her.

  He looked at his stylish casual clothes, which were not military uniforms, and thought that chasing after her should be harmless. He was hesitating about what to do next.

  His eyes scanned the corridor, where precision cameras were almost everywhere, some hidden in murals, others in decorative carvings. He gritted his teeth - how could Qin Luoshui's nature be so despicable, he was indeed a hopeless case.

  But he didn't have any free time tonight, so let's just spare him.

  Song Shuoye thought for a moment and then casually put his hands in his pockets and stepped into the elevator.

  Out of the elevator, standing in the lobby with a elegant gesture, waving to let the younger brother drive the parked car over, getting on the car himself and walking down the steps, narrowing his eyes to look at this tall and luxurious building, instantly finding where the staff passage is.

  He drove his car out of the square in front and headed for a small alley behind the hotel.

  The entrance to the small alley was obviously a few steps, he looked at the new silver Rolls-Royce his grandfather had just bought, and estimated that if he drove into such a narrow lane and scratched it, the old man would be heartbroken.

  Besides, a car like this blocks the alley. If it's a semi-closed one-way street, doesn't that mean there's no way to back out either?

  He smiled and said, "Then I'll just wait for a rabbit to hit the tree."

  He parked his car in the shade on one side of the alley entrance, leaned against the car body with a slant, and lit a cigarette to smoke leisurely.

  Before long, the dimly lit alleyway indeed transmitted a rapid and urgent footsteps, his ears perked up could distinguish that it was a specially trained step, full of vigilance, with a faint hint of panting.

  Hush——his little rabbit is coming.

  He lifted his wrist to glance at his watch, curled up the corners of his mouth in a smile, not bad, fifteen minutes was enough to get here without taking the elevator, quite efficient.

  Xiang Hong turned a corner and, seeing the empty alleyway ahead, let out a sigh of relief.

  Haha, that guy is probably blocking her at the front door, waiting for her to get tired? Finding the staff passage would be a piece of cake for her.

  The dark cloud hovering above her head suddenly dispersed, and she let out a sigh of relief, chuckled softly, and began to climb up the stairs with quick steps.

  It's better to take a taxi back to the dormitory earlier, tonight she was suppressed by him and dared not to speak with other friends of the opposite sex in the future.

  He needs to be taught a lesson, how dare he point fingers at her.

  She stopped dead in her tracks with a slight bounce, because the figure that appeared on the steps in front of her made her little heart thump wildly.

  She blinked her eyes, was it an illusion?

  The wood didn't disappear, it's true, she was blocked by him, ahahah. She suddenly remembered the technique of quickly finding a passage to sneak into a closed environment that he had taught her, and his insight was unknown how many times higher than her three-legged cat's practical skill.

  Moreover, apart from Song Shuyu, she had never seen anyone who could intimidate her with their aura alone, making her want to shrink and escape.

  She took a stealthy glance at the dark alley behind her, and then looked ahead at the low-pressure system that was slowly closing in, thinking about how she could escape this calamity.

  At such a short distance, if she wanted to escape, she would probably die even more miserably.

  Song Shu Yu looked at the back of the girl's lowered head and was very curious about what she was thinking in her heart.

  Xiang Hong glanced at the person who beckoned her to come over, but she stood firm, refusing to go.

  Then she saw Song Shuyu walking over very naturally, his exposed white teeth making her small face turn slightly dark.

  She felt a big hand suddenly appear on her forehead, and the fingertips gently rubbed her short hair, as if rubbing a cat or dog, and her small face turned even darker.

  As she waited for her small face to be pinched by that hand, turning in the direction of his teasing eyes, San Hong's small face turned completely black, as if smoke was coming out.

  "Why don't I see any surprise on your face? Did I ruin something for you?" Song Shuyu's voice was as calm as usual.

  "Hmm... this is the second time you've seen me with this unpleasant look on my face tonight, why don't you just pretend not to know me and ask how I'm doing?"

  Song Shu's voice had a hint of malicious intent, and her silence with lowered head seemed to be an admission of guilt. He disliked this submissive and obedient appearance of hers, as she was always one who could turn the tables and make unreasonable demands seem reasonable. Was it possible that she really had other thoughts on her mind?

  The fire in his chest was stifling and uncomfortable.

  The depression in Xiang Hong's chest was stirred up by his words and surged upwards rapidly, all the way to its peak.

  She raised her hands and grasped his teasing paws, giving them a fierce reverse grip, shouting:

  "Either kill me or torture me, I'd rather die once than suffer this torment."

  Song Shu pulled her arm, and she was brought into that broad and thick embrace. A soft laughter came from beside her ear: "Whose sister are you? Your mouth isn't clean, you'll have to eat a bitter melon head."

  Xiang Hong didn't back down, she stuck close to him, hooked her legs around his shoulders and jumped up, wrapping her thighs tightly around his waist. She freed one hand to grab his head, desperately trying to grasp his short hair, but it was too short, so she switched to pinching his ears instead.

  "You're still going on and on, aren't you? If it weren't for Qin Luoshui, I wouldn't have met you! I was just worried about you being overly anxious, so I casually told a small lie, but you used it to sarcastically provoke me all night. What do you mean by this? Why don't you just hang a sign around my neck with your name on it?"

  The anger that had been accumulating in Xiang Hong suddenly erupted at this moment.

  "Song Shuyu, I can't beat you up, but you also can't bully me like this all the time. You're always so expressionless, so low-key, playing mind games with me, suddenly popping out to provoke me from time to time. I may not be able to beat you up, but I'll squeeze you to death, suffocate you."

  Xiang Hong's hands were busy but couldn't feel his pain or dodge, angry that her strength was small, a surge of indignation rose in her heart, her two hands pinched towards his cheeks, using all her might, pinch pinch pinch pinch!

  She was yelling and throwing a tantrum, when she suddenly caught sight of Song Shuyu's calm gaze. Her heart skipped a beat as she realized that he couldn't be the target of her outburst. Ahhh, how could she have grabbed his face like that? She slowly let go of his cheek, looked at her own disheveled appearance and really wanted to cover her face, but was afraid that if she did, she would fall over.

  She only then realized that he was not just quietly watching her, but also had his hands tightly wrapped around her slender waist to prevent her from falling.

  She's not moving, Song Shuyu calmly looked at her, relaxed his hands and put her on the ground, his eyes calm and gentle, he softly looked at her. Sang Hong glanced at his slightly pale cheeks, really pinched out a wound, she wanted to dig a hole and bury herself, and die of shame after writing another sentence.

  "Your advice is good, it's time to give you a name tag; after training for so long, you're just a little faster when running away, this strength, needs to be strengthened in the future."

  Song Shuwei naturally summarized her recent words and deeds, and then stretched out one hand to pinch her right cheek.

  Xiang Hong felt a sharp pain, like a knife cutting through her bones, and suddenly her eyes were filled with tears.

  She gazed at him with tears in her eyes.

  Song Shuwei looked at the only spot of smooth skin on her face and saw a bruise he had just made, nodded in satisfaction, and rubbed his palm against her face.

  "This kind of strength is what it's all about. Did you learn that technique just now? Do you want me to demonstrate again?"

  Xiang Hong was so shocked that he wanted to teach her hand in hand, she really wanted a thunderbolt from the sky to knock her out. She pitifully stretched out two small hands and tightly covered her face, shaking her head repeatedly.

  "Song Shuyu, you're so despicable, you've bullied people too much, you really deserve a beating."

  Song Shuoye's hand gently smoothed out her messy hair on top of her head, and she smiled even more crookedly:

  "It's really hateful, bullying you, and very deserving of a beating. Wait until your physical strength surpasses mine before trying again, otherwise, you've been bothering me for half a day, I just move a little, and you start crying, isn't that too unjust?"

  Xiang Hong suddenly felt a darkness in front of her eyes, and since Song Shu Yu appeared, her territory, sovereignty, self-esteem, everything was ruined.

  "Shall we head home directly now or call Qin Qing to come along with us, so you won't have to worry about him not being able to get back to school and lose sleep over it?"

  Song Shuyu asked her with great care.

  Xiang Hong was so frightened by his pinch that she knew he wasn't just generally angry, and immediately smiled in a flattering manner:

  "Let's just go home directly, he has already reached his uncle's territory, where it is our turn to worry. At that time, I was reminding him that if we went back and others asked me where I had gone, let him help cover up for me. After all, I often don't come back at night, and those few roommates are probably very curious."

  "Oh, am I making you feel awkward?" Song Shuyu suddenly said with a cold tone.

  "Cough, cough, cough," Xiang Hong was choked by her own saliva, and she said helplessly, "It's not a matter of whether I can take it out or not, but rather... at my age, living with someone... will it... will it tarnish your reputation?"

  "Is that another kind lie for my own good? You don't have to bother coming up with more excuses either. Why not just go to the front gate and call out to your roommates, take them back to school on the way, and then we can head home together? That way, we won't have to explain anything in the future."

  Song Shuoye didn't understand what was going on in this girl's mind, but her words made him feel very uncomfortable.

  Xiang Hong immediately reached out and grabbed his arm, saying helplessly: "Wait a minute, let me introduce you to each other later, I'm so tired, let's just go home directly."

  After finishing speaking, he stretched his waist and yawned.

  Song Shuwei looked at her, even using the trick of pretending to yawn, and didn't say anything else. He opened the car door, got in, and sat down. Sang Hong also followed him with a gloomy face and sat beside him.

  Sitting in the car, Song Shuyu didn't start the engine, but instead gazed at her quietly.

  "Sang Hong, I'm dating you with the intention of getting married. Although I know it's too early to show my hand, which might make you feel complacent and take advantage of me, I still want to say this to you;"

  At your age, getting married is indeed a bit early. If you feel that you haven't had enough of this worldly life and want to continue exploring, then go ahead. However, I don't have the patience to follow you around and get dragged into your drama.

  You can joke and laugh with those little men, I might just be a more introverted person. However, as long as you remember who you are, which direction our family door opens to, don't go too far, I'm still very willing to spoil you rotten.

  However, I don't want to hear so-called kind lies like tonight's again. Be honest with me, one is one and two is two, don't use your heart to guess, I don't like it."

  Song Shuwei had never spoken such a long speech to Sang Hong before, and Sang Hong was so ashamed and humiliated by his accusatory words that she felt wronged and her nose turned sour.

  When did she laugh and talk with those little men? When was she tired of him being boring? When did she forget about him? Is he implying that she is flirting around?

  She finally understood that this guy was absolutely rolling with vinegar, warning her that such a big man had a heart smaller than a needle tip. He didn't like to talk, but he knew exactly how to say things that could stimulate her.

  She tried hard to control herself, wanting to make light of the situation and joke with him, to get over the unpleasantness of tonight, but her small mouth opened a few times, and in the end she still couldn't thicken her skin, putting on a smiling face to deal with his sharp words.

  She bit her lip and closed her eyes, leaning back against the seat: "I've remembered, can I go now?"

  Song Shuwei couldn't see the expression on Sang Hong's face, but the slight hoarseness in her voice made him somewhat surprised. He just expressed his true thoughts, what kind of man can tolerate his girlfriend getting so close to another man? How come she didn't show any shame at all, instead, she looked like she was the one who had been wronged.

  He's still full of grievances!

  She started the car without saying a word and drove back to school.

  In the enclosed space of the car, there was an unbearable silence. This was the first time Sang Hong sat next to him, but he kept his mouth shut and didn't say a word. Song Shuyu couldn't stand this gloominess, so he turned on some music. However, the foreign tenor opera music that played made his ears very uncomfortable, and he immediately turned it off.

  She glanced at Sang Hong with a sideways glance, her head lowered and hugging her shoulders as she sat, her short hair blocking her small face, making it impossible to discern her expression.

  The car drove into the school gate and headed straight for their little nest at the back.

  Xiang Hong looked around and found a place without surveillance cameras, then spoke up: "Stop for a moment, I want to get off the bus."

  Song Shu Yu slammed on the brakes and turned to her: "What?"

  "I'm tired tonight, it's better to go back to the dormitory and rest." said Sang Hong as she went to open the car door.

  Song Shuyu was stabbed by her words and felt a sharp pain in her heart. Was she showing her rebellious attitude?

  The car didn't even move, and the anti-lock braking system on the door had already been activated while driving.

  Xiang Hong looked at the car door and couldn't open it, so she raised her hand to press the control button on his side.

  He suddenly grabbed her hand, turned his head and stared at Xiao Hong's small face: "Go back to the dorm? What are you hiding in your heart, just say it clearly, don't give me a headache, I'm afraid I'm too stupid to guess what you're thinking."

  Xiang Hong sneered: "How dare I give you a hard time? You can't even win a fight, and you're not even good at arguing. Even when meeting old friends with classmates, you dare to accuse me of forgetting who I am?"

  "Who am I to you? Now, let me make it clear to you, Song Shuyu. I am myself, and my relationship with you is not close enough for me to consider myself as one of your people. You don't have to worry about me, if you don't like it when I speak sincerely to you, then the words I'm saying now are spoken without sincerity. Do you want to hear them?"

  Song Shuwei gazed at her red rabbit eyes and slightly upturned nose, her wronged little expression and the hurtful words rolling off the tip of her tongue, and asked with difficulty:

  "Xiang Hong, before you get off the bus, I'll ask you one question, what do you take me for?"

  Xiang Hong gritted her teeth: "Who are you? Alright, listen up, you can pursue me, but I reserve - the right to refuse."

  I'm telling you clearly, I hate being misunderstood. Why would I bare my teeth and brandish my claws in front of you? It's because I look up to you. From tonight on, I'll be polite to you, so that you won't think I've figured out your trump card and become arrogant.

  Actually, I also hate being nervous and trying hard to get along with you.

  "Are you done?" Song Shu Yu really wanted to slap her and drag her back home to deal with her, but listening to her words which increasingly poked at his heart, he immediately let go of her hand, "You're done, wherever you want to go, just go."

  Xiang Hong's hand was suspended in mid-air, her fingertips moved slightly and accurately pressed the button to open the car door. A very faint sound followed, she withdrew her hand, opened the car door, got out of the car, and walked away without looking back.

  Song Shuwei slapped the steering wheel with one hand, and he couldn't help but get out of the car to grab that little girl who made him not know whether to coax or praise her. He was right, she was wrong, can't he even say a word?

  This girl can really stir up trouble, how did the conversation become like this, he was surprised by tonight's encounter, with twists and turns, they ended up quarreling in the end.

  Under the dim streetlights, her slender figure walked further and further away until she disappeared from his line of sight.

  This is the second time she slipped away under his eyelids tonight.

  It's better to be apart, just enough to calm down. Next to her, he can be so foolish as to compete with a young man for favor and attention, being completely controlled by her words, one sentence making him feel like he's in heaven, another sentence making him feel like he's in hell, it's really absurd. He rubbed his temples which were starting to ache.

  Looking at the distant warm nest she once had, what's the point of it still being there if she's no longer in it.

  He immediately turned the car around and sped off towards the school gate.
