Chapter 40: A Palm Strike Born from the Void

  "Do you want to say it again?" The tone was devoid of emotion, but it was as if tiny ice shards had been mixed in, able to pierce through the eardrum and into the depths of one's heart.

  That small piece of land, which was originally empty, now had an extra person. He wore a simple white shirt and black trousers, his figure as straight as a bamboo in the snow. His black hair shone with a dazzling light in the sunlight, making even his familiar delicate face seem almost unreal.

  Qiao stood there with a cold expression, his left hand casually inserted into his pants pocket, and his right hand still maintaining the motion of fanning himself. Under the scorching sun, he was like an iceberg floating on the surface of a Nordic sea, emitting endless icy chilliness.

  "Ah..." I finally managed to exhale the air stuck in my lungs, but for some reason, a chill ran down my spine.

  Li Chiwei was stunned for a few seconds before reacting, touching his swollen cheek and muttering to himself: "You dare hit me? What are you... You actually... Dare hit me?!" By the end, he was furious and uncontrollable, raising his hand to grab someone, but was suddenly restrained by someone from behind.

  "Cheng Qiao... upperclassman," He Mòtiān tightly hugged the struggling person, frowning with suppressed anger, "what do you mean by doing this?"

  "What does that mean?" Cheng Qiao's shining eyes didn't show any emotion, as if she hadn't even taken the person in front of her seriously. "She was the one who spoke out of turn first."

  "But!" He Mochen paused for a moment, slowing down his speech, "You're a man, how can you hit a girl in public, she didn't even offend you."

  "But she scolded A Yao, and since she dared to scold A Yao, she should be beaten." Cheng Qiao glanced at him calmly, "Besides, I've already hit her, what can you do?"

  "Originally..." He Mo was stunned for a moment, his gaze suddenly turned to me, and in the eyes that were against the light, there seemed to be two deep pools of water hidden, "You know each other."

  Qiao's mouth curved into a faint smile, this smile was equally cold and made people look away: "Not just acquaintances, but also have a deep relationship."

  He Mochen turned his head and exchanged a glance with Cheng Qiao, lowering his eyelids: "Is... that so?"

  Cheng Qiao didn't say another word, she just slightly raised her chin with a cold expression.

  He Mochen furrowed his brow and remained silent for a while before saying, "Just now was indeed slightly off..."

  Before he could finish speaking, Li Chiwei in his arms suddenly interrupted him in a shrill voice: "Mo Tian, what do you mean I'm not right! It was clearly him who hit me! Do you know that from childhood to adulthood, even my parents didn't dare hit me! You don't help me and say I'm not right, why are you afraid of him?!"

  " Weiwei, what you said earlier was indeed excessive."

  "I'm just telling the truth...... Ah!" Li Chiwei let out a sharp cry and hid behind He Motian.

  Cheng Qiao approached He Mochen and said in a light tone: "Let go."

  "Senior, she's just a girl after all!" In comparison, He Mòtiān was actually a few centimeters shorter than Chéng Qiáo. He stretched out his hand to stop Chéng Qiáo, "I'll let Wēiwei apologize."

  "No way!" Li Chi glared at me with a hint of hatred, "I've never learned how to apologize!"

  "'Hmm,' Mo Tian said in a low voice, 'are you trying to make me angry?'"

  "Silent sky..." Li Chi struggled slightly.

  "I apologize." He Mochen said firmly.

  Li Chiwei took a few deep breaths, covered his face and walked a few steps in front of me, staring at me steadily with an ugly expression as if he had swallowed a fly, gritting his teeth to say: "Sorry!"

  I shook my head and didn't say anything.

  She narrowed her eyes, suddenly raised the corner of her mouth, tilted her head close to my ear, and whispered in a scorching hot breath: "Bai Yao, you wait, today's humiliation, sooner or later I will double it back."

  I nodded but still didn't speak.

  She gave me another cold look before turning back to He Mochen's side.

  Actually I wasn't unwilling to tease her a few sentences, but for the time being I have already lost the function of opening my mouth, because the shock in my heart is about to drown me completely.

  I raised my eyes and saw that Qiao was still expressionless on the other side, for a moment I felt my heart beating so fast it was almost bursting.

  Although the eyebrows and eyes are exactly the same as before, they seem unfamiliar and make my heart tremble with fear. The aura and demeanor that look down on everyone without putting anyone in their eyes unintentionally make people feel timid, but not to the point of being hated, instead making oneself afraid of being disliked by such a person. The voice is still as pleasant to listen to, without intentionally creating an icy feeling, but listening to it gives me a chill, directly penetrating into my heart. Even the innocent smile that I'm usually obsessed with has completely changed, becoming so dangerous that I'd rather he be expressionless than show this kind of smile.

  A chill crept out of my pores layer by layer, I felt a numbness on my scalp and an icy cold all over my body.

  Is this really the Qiao Chong I know?

  "When I really meet Homer Tian, my actions... may be a bit beyond my own imagination and yours." Suddenly, what Cheng Qiao said to me that day jumped into my mind.

  I was stunned for a moment, my heart rate suddenly sped up, and I could almost hear the sound of blood flowing rapidly through my body. My body gradually warmed up, and I let out a deep breath.

  Chang Qiao, how could you be someone I don't recognize?

  At first, I thought his so-called hatred for He Mochen was just staring at him fiercely and scolding him a few times, but I really didn't expect him to interpret hatred to such an astonishing extent. It seems that the suggestion of the BFF party to pair him with He Mochen really stimulated him, and it stimulated him in a very cruel way, directly turning a pure and lovely victim into a cold and elegant attacker.

  I turned my head, just about to seriously educate Xiao Yu and Hai Yan that some suggestions can't be mentioned casually, because the consequences are really unbearable. Just then I saw Xiao Yu had already become a little idiot patient, even Hai Yan was full of disbelieving faces, the shock degree is absolutely not under me.

  I sighed, it seems that Cheng Qiao's behavior today has indeed exceeded all of our expectations.

  She stretched out her two hands and patted their shoulders heavily. They suddenly came to their senses, and their first reaction was the same as mine, taking a deep breath.

  But before I could say anything, Xiao Yu had already jumped up in surprise.

  "How terrifying! Is this his true form?! Little Yu's hands were desperately squeezing her face in a terrified expression, "No wonder MuMu always says those things, it's really... I wouldn't have gone to find death three times if I had seen this earlier! Tonight when I go back I'll definitely have nightmares for several days in a row! Ahhhhhh! Haiying, I want to cry!"

  "I don't usually have nightmares, nor do I feel like crying, it's just... "Haiying touched her chest, "my heart is beating fast, this feeling is quite thrilling, I've never seen anyone who can pretend so well."

  I glared at them with a black line on my head: "Still have the nerve to say, if it weren't for your random suggestions, would Xiao Qiao have transformed into a cold and elegant attacker to stimulate us today?"

  "What's it got to do with us?" they chimed in unison.

  "Didn't you guys suggest that Xiao Qiao should hook up with He Mochen, and then dump him after succeeding, in order to help me get revenge on them?"

  Xiao Yu inexplicably said: "When our nerves are crossed, and we make such suggestions, will we be so bored?"

  "Right, it's too degrading for us."

  I was stunned for half a day and then stupidly said: "You mean... you haven't discussed this suggestion with Xiao Qiao? Then... what did he do today..."
