Section Ninety-Three: Slapping in Public

  The white poem in front of me is as usual.

  A white lightweight chiffon dress with a relaxed wave falling on her left shoulder.

  Phoenix eyes and snowy skin, accompanied by a gentle breeze, the lavender fragrance on her body gradually disperses.

  "What's wrong? Why isn't anyone speaking? Weren't you all very happy just now?" Bai Shijiao's soft voice carried a hint of chill, which matched her exquisite features and was indeed capable of captivating people's hearts.

  "We don't want to talk to you!" Shen Xiaoxuan rushed forward and shouted.

  "I'm not here looking for you, haha." Bai Shi directly pushed Shen Xiao Xuan away and took two steps forward.

  Li Luo'er let out a soft sigh, supported Shen Xiao Xuan and stared straight at Bai Shi, "What's wrong? Can't bear to be apart from me for a few days, thinking of some new tricks to play on me?"

  Bai Shi lightly pursed her red lips, smiling warmly. "It's been so long since we last met, I thought you'd be too scared to come back to school! And now that I see you again, I thought it was just my eyes playing tricks on me!"

  "It's really thoughtful of you, I'm afraid there are only a few people in the entire Xing who can make Miss Bai come out in person, I should feel honored!" Li Luo'er smiled lightly and spoke freely, completely ignoring the several servants behind her.

  Although the uncontrollable scenes of white poetry that hurt oneself appear in one's mind, they do not disturb one's mood, but rather reduce a few points of inferiority and add a few points of confidence.

  "Haha, it's really true that 'those who live near the ink will be stained black'! I only just understood the meaning of this phrase now. It seems that after spending so much time with Lu Xiansheng, even my tone of speech has become more refined!" Bai Shi said, a thread of anger flashing in her eyes, and perhaps she couldn't control herself, it was only a matter of minutes.

  Li Luo'er had already made all preparations and precautions from the moment he appeared in Bai Shi.

  Anyway, Bai Shi has never been a thrifty lamp, inexplicably looking for trouble, absolutely nothing good will come of it.

  It's just that I won't be so weak again in the future. She may still not have the ability to accept it for a while...

  Thinking of this, Leyou'er's mouth corner revealed a hint of smile, still smiling like a flower. "Is there something? If not, we still have to hurry up and eat, you know, it's hard to reserve a spot at BaTai hot pot."

  "Really having a leisurely and elegant demeanor! I just want to ask you, how long are you going to monopolize Lu Xuan Sheng?"

  "......" Do I have a monopoly? Don't you understand? If you don't understand, can't you just not talk nonsense? Is it him monopolizing me? He made a contract with no time limit, it's simply a prison!

  "What's wrong? Not speaking? Or is it guilt? Or perhaps... something unexpected happened during these few days off?" Bai Shi said with a smug look at the back of Li Lu'er, raising the corner of her mouth, "Rumor has it that you and Lu Xian Sheng are only three steps apart. What about today? Is it an accident?"

  "It seems that Bai Dajie's news is quite informed. However, I think I don't need to chat with you here, oh... no! We're in a hurry!" Li Lu'er smiled and held onto Shen Xiaoxuan's arm, looking at Bai Shi who still wouldn't let them pass. Helplessly shaking her head, she could only take a detour.

  "Are you going to the hot pot restaurant? It seems we're heading in the same direction, we were just about to go too!" Bai Shi said with a smile, not making things difficult for them, and turned around to follow Jia Rongrong and the others, taking the lead.

  My footsteps were blocked by Bai Shi. Just now, there were people everywhere in school, but now it has gradually become quiet.

  Li Luo sighed and looked at the few flower-like figures walking away from her, shaking her head.

  "Otherwise, let's go somewhere else to eat!" Shen Xiaoxuan had a lump in his heart but couldn't say it out loud in front of Zhuo Ying, "Eating with those few girls, I'm afraid we'll be full before we even start eating!"

  "I'm fine. How about you, Zhuo Ying?" Li Luo'er asked with a gentle smile, her eyes warm with concern.

  "Go on! I always feel that things here are far from over!" Zhuo Ying said solemnly, pouting her small mouth as she watched Bai Shi's back. "What a low-class woman!"

  "Pffft!"

  Li Luoer and Shen Xiaoxuan almost laughed at the same time.

  Didn't expect Zhuo Ying to be so young, but she seems to have seen through countless people, and with just one meeting, she has already figured out Bai Shi's position.

  Since Zhuo Ying insisted, Shen Xiao Xuan couldn't say anything either. The three of them slowly walked across the street and entered Ba Tai Hot Pot.

  The hot pot business at the bar counter is too popular, and both U-shaped bars are already fully seated. Only two sofa tables are left.

  If it weren't for Bai Shi's big fuss, perhaps they wouldn't have been qualified to sit there.

  That place is usually reserved for those rich second-generation guys with "rich" written all over their faces.

  "There's no more space, just sit here! Will Zhuo Ying mind having dinner with us?" Shen Xiao Xuan asked considerately, and took out three paper towels to wipe the table.

  "It doesn't matter, just get a hot pot and that's it!" Zhuo Ying didn't mind either, directly sitting down across from Shen Xiao Xuan.

  "You choose the dishes! The two of us don't have any dietary restrictions!" Li Lu'er handed over the menu to Zhuo Ying and turned around to line up for sour plum soup.

  Just then, those discordant voices rose again.

  But it's not Bai Shi, but those few followers around her.

  "Oh, so it turns out we came here for dinner just for their sour plum soup..."

  "I reckon even the expensive beef hot pot won't be ordered, the most popular dish will probably be the 6 yuan vegetable platter..."

  "It's not necessarily so, but at least we have to have some noodles, otherwise how can we eat our fill?"

  Hahaha...

  A burst of laughter came from the next table, and Shen Xiaoxuan was so angry that he was about to tremble with rage.

  Only Zhuo Ying was like an ordinary person, continuing to draw with a ballpoint pen the things she liked to eat.

  "Plum soup is here!" Li Luo'er walked over with a tray, she wasn't deaf, it's just that she was too lazy to bother with them now, maybe because she had seen too much of this kind of thing and felt it was a bit too childish.

  "Ah!" Shen Xiaoxuan exclaimed, covering her mouth.

  Until she saw that Lì Luòér had safely stepped over the two feet that were intentionally stretched out and returned unharmed.

  "How dare you!" Shen Xiaoxuan slammed his fist on the table and was about to stand up.

  Li Lu'er pressed her down, "Nothing's wrong, is it? Why bother with them?"

  "It's just that, if you're familiar with cheap people, won't it lower your own level?!" Zhuo Ying sucked on the straw and drank a few mouthfuls of sour plum soup, intentionally raising her voice by one degree.

  Shen Xiaoxuan looked at the pale faces of several people opposite him and laughed so hard that he choked on his water several times.

  Li Lu'er helplessly shook her head, really having no way to deal with Shen Xiaoxuan's current image.

  But Shen Xiaoxuan was delighted and directly gave Zhuo Ying a thumbs up.

  "Hey, Shishi... I heard someone gave you a big gift after your birthday?"

  The discordant voice came again, and Li Luo'er picked up the hairy belly and stuffed it into her mouth. It seems that she needs to eat a bit more, and then she'll have the energy to deal with it later!

  "It's okay, but it's not like it's worth a lot of money or anything!" Bai Shi's soft voice attracted the attention of many students on the platform, who turned their heads and gave her sideways glances.

  "What is it? Hurry up and take a look!"

  It seems that this time they are going to show off their wealth and compare who is higher or lower?! Li Luo'er sighed, is the life of a rich second generation really so stupid?

  I don't have the ability and I also don't understand what's called international, so let's just eat instead.

  "Poetry, is this watch you're wearing a Bulgari?"

  "Wow... Bulgari! How much is it? From France? Top-notch!"

  "Needless to say, it's at least tens of thousands. Shi shi... I occasionally envy your words..."

  Listening to the quarrel at the next table, Lí Luòér curled her lip, and the chopsticks in her hand didn't stop moving.

  Compared to Zhuo Ying's reaction, Shen Xiao Xuan was much more normal, with just a look of disdain and a snort.

  "Let's eat, be careful that Lu Xuan Sheng won't give you food this afternoon!" Li Luo'er tapped Zhuo Ying's sesame paste bowl with her chopsticks.

  Zhuo Ying turned her head and gave a strange smile.

  Then it's just about competing with Lí Luòér and Shěn Xiǎoxuān in eating speed...

  It's really true that birds of a feather flock together; three foodies together is just pure joy.

  Not a moment later. Everything on the table had been annihilated, leaving only empty plates flaunting their achievements.

  "I'm full, let's go." Zhuo Ying patted her own belly contentedly, and a flower-like smile bloomed on her chubby little face, making people want to pinch it.

  "Come and wipe your hands!" Li Luo'er grabbed her small hand and awkwardly wiped it with a wet towel.

  Zhuo Ying still had the same expression. Watching Li Luoer let go, she put on her own small backpack and stood at the checkout counter waiting for Shen Xiaoxuan to pay.

  Maybe it's really a narrow road, the cashier and Bai Shi's table. Just one step away...

  "Hey, this Li Lu'er is serving Lu Xiangsheng, and now she's serving a little girl too." Jia Rongrong stared at Zhuo Ying, with a hint of disdain in her tone.

  "Let's go, can't be on par with animals!" It's really not good that I won't scold people. At this time, I'm actually so frustrated.

  Li Lu'er reached out to pull Zhuo Ying's hand just as they were about to leave, but Zhuo Ying abruptly shook her hand off.

  "Who are you calling little girl?" Zhuo Ying's eyes widened. Her cold gaze stared at Jia Rongrong.

  "Who said who!" Jia Jiao jiao glanced at the short and small maid, directly turned her face away and continued talking to Bai Shi.

  "I didn't want to bother with you people, a group of country bumpkins!" Zhuo Ying's tone became more childish and sharp, somewhat similar to Chen Zhiquan and Lu Xiansheng combined.

  "Who are you calling a village girl?" Jia Jiao Jiao turned her face away with a twist, her voice rising by three decibels.

  "Who said who!" Zhuo Ying is really clever, learning and using it immediately.

  "Come on, Zhuo Ying, don't stoop to their level, you'll lose your dignity!" Li Luo Er wasn't trying to run away, she was just afraid that Zhuo Ying would get hurt and she wouldn't be able to go back and face Lu Xian Sheng.

  "Wait, sister!" Zhuo Ying rushed to Li Luo'er with a sweet smile, and then continued to fight with Jia Rongrong, "You said village girls are not convinced, do you want to hear why?"

  "What does this little girl know? Get out of here quickly!" Qi Xiu hastily shouted another sentence before Jia Rong got angry, perhaps to prove her own existence...

  Zhuo Ying smiled sweetly and stared at Bai Shi's wristwatch, saying slowly: "Is that a Bulgari? Are you sure?"

  Bai Shi doesn't speak.

  "But that doesn't seem to be Bulgari, though... And by the way, I'd like to tell you that the woman next to you who's pretending to be something she's not, Bulgari is Italian, not French..."

  Everyone at the table was silent, watching Bai Shi. Zhuo Ying furrowed her brow and continued to speak, "Moreover, Patek Philippe's watches are worth tens of thousands, there aren't many kinds... even if it's a clearance sale, there should be fewer..."

  Bai Shi glared fiercely at Zhuo Ying, looking around at the various complex gazes cast in her direction, her lips almost bitten through.

  Never been so humiliated before, isn't this just like being slapped in the face in front of everyone?

  Bai Shi's face was momentarily drained of all color, looking deathly pale.
