Chapter Thirty-Seven: An Unexpected Encounter with an Old Friend

  About twenty steps away from the school gate, there is a bus stop sign, and only two or three people are waiting there. The road on both sides has been surrounded by some years of Chinese parasol trees, and Su Yun's mood is very bad on the way back. Originally, it was just a simple mix of eating and drinking, but unexpectedly met Su Cong. What's even more unexpected is that he still remembers the grudge so clearly, and what's even more ridiculous is that it's actually a misunderstanding! Speaking of which, the two can be considered as childhood sweethearts. From elementary school to high school, they have been in the same school all along. Before high school, they were also in the same class, and before elementary school, they were neighbors.

  She was mischievous and naughty when she was young, the king of children in that area, and naturally did many bad things that made Su Cong from top to bottom. But children are young, what do they know? After junior high school, male and female consciousness gradually awakened, and the two gradually became estranged. Even after entering high school, even if the two met on campus, they just nodded hastily and passed by. Thinking about it, the only thing that makes Su Cong still resentful is that groundless matter.

  That summer in the second year of high school, the weather was as hot as a furnace. Many students loved to leave campus and spend time at the cold drink shop across the street. There was an iron railing in the middle of the road, about waist-high. The students found it troublesome, so they all climbed over directly.

  It was Friday evening, and because of the holiday, there were not many people left in school. She stayed a bit later because she was on duty, but her group members never showed up, so she always ended up doing it alone. As soon as she walked out of the school gate, she saw several boys climbing over the railing, preparing to go for a stroll across the street.

  She was also extremely hot, just lifting her foot to move to the other side, when she saw the last boy suddenly slip, his whole body upside down, and crash onto the ground on the other side of the railing. In a moment of crisis, she subconsciously let out a scream. You know, at the top of the iron railing, every 10 centimeters or so, there is something like a gun head. If someone slips down like this, not to mention that their face might be disfigured, if they're not careful, their belly might also be pierced.

  Fortunately, the boy had his hands on the ground, his head against the ground, and his waist and abdomen strained to bend in the other direction, trying to imagine himself as a gymnast, relying on his body's flexibility to jump over the railing. But after all, people are not gymnasts, so they jumped past, but the cowboy pants were caught by the gun tip, along with the underwear.

  As she slid down due to gravity, with a ripping sound, the person was lying on the ground, with only two pieces of pants still hanging from above. Looking at the lower part of that person, it was like an entire white fish that had just been pulled ashore! I don't know what she thought at that time, but anyway, it felt extremely comical.

  So she couldn't help but burst out laughing! The person was Su Cong, and at first, Su Yin hadn't realized it. It wasn't until the next day when Su Cong came to find her in a rage that she finally understood. And the reason Su Cong had come to find her was because of the semi-nude photos that had spread all over the school. From the angle of the photo, it looked like it was taken from where she was standing at the time, and since there hadn't been many people around at the time, Su Cong was convinced that she was behind it all.

  The problem is, she really hasn't done anything! But given the circumstances at the time, even if it wasn't her doing it, no one would believe that. It had to be her who did it, or else it wouldn't live up to their "high expectations".

  So, she didn't explain much, they didn't believe her, Su never believed her anyway. The evening streets were still sweltering, the weather had been quite changeable these days, it was a bit cooler yesterday but warmed up today. Amidst the din, Su walked hastily with her head down.

  Maybe it was the emotional repression that made her stomach churn, she desperately suppressed the urge to vomit something out, and just wanted to rush back to her dormitory, find a quiet place, and sleep well. As long as she fell asleep, she wouldn't have to think about anything else.

  The place where Tian Haiqing and the others were going was not very far from the school, separated by a street of students, and they would arrive after turning a corner. In autumn and winter, yellow leaves were scattered all over the ground, and mothers in red and yellow uniforms were sweeping them up. As they approached, Su Yun's tense nerves relaxed for a moment when she saw the school gate in front of her eyes. Just as they were about to pass by the bus stop, a No. 16 bus stopped with a screech. A red figure suddenly rushed out of the car and sped past her side, bringing up a gust of wind.

  Everyone was stunned, and then they heard the sound of "retching... retching..." Suddenly, everyone turned their heads to look over, with a black line on their faces.

  A girl in a red windbreaker, one hand against the trunk of a paulownia tree, hunched over, retching repeatedly. But no matter how hard she tried, nothing came out. For some reason, upon hearing this sound, the suppressed urge to vomit suddenly surged up again. Su Xiang thought to herself, "Oh no!", lost control, and "Hua...!" - everything was thrown up.

  What's even more ridiculous is that the girl hadn't thrown up yet, but as soon as she did, another person lowered their head and threw up too. Everyone on and off the bus instantly widened their eyes in shock, their faces revealing disgust.

  Those who got off the bus quickly dispersed, while those who were getting on hurried to speed up. The driver stepped on the gas and drove away. After the two of them finished vomiting, they both leaned against a tree trunk, panting and sizing each other up - after all, they had just shared a vomit-filled experience. As soon as Su Yun caught sight of her, his eyes lit up - what a beauty! The girl's complexion wasn't great, but her features were bright and well-defined, making her quite pleasant to look at. Once she'd caught her breath, the girl smiled at Su Yun and greeted him: "Hey, what's your name? I'm Wang Zhiyu."

  Su Yun also smiled in response: "Hello, my name is Ji Su Yun." The two were just about to have a good chat and share their feelings when a harsh female voice suddenly interrupted from the side: "Have you two ladies finished vomiting?" Looking at the aunt's gloomy expression, the two nodded obediently, looking embarrassed.

  With a "crack", the old lady swung the bamboo broom over, sweeping up several yellow leaves. "After you're done spitting, help me sweep, sweep this whole street for me!"

  Look at Big Mama Wang, and then look down at the messy floor. The two of them resigned themselves to their fate and went to the security room to get a broom. From behind came a leisurely voice: "Don't forget to pay first, 50 yuan each!" The two of them simultaneously gave a silent middle finger, exchanged a smile, and continued to dig into their pockets.

  After vomiting, both of them felt much better. She was drunk, while Wang Ziyu had motion sickness. Su Yin swept the floor and chatted to pass the time: "You get carsick? Do you get sick on buses?" Wang Ziyu nodded dejectedly: "Uh-huh!" Su Yin asked again: "How many stops did you ride for?"

  Wang Ziyu smiled mischievously: "One stop!" Su Yin straightened up, looking at him with a surprised expression, and then shook her head: "No! The question is, you only sat for one stop and got carsick?" Wang Ziyu nodded very innocently: "So we need to practice more!"

  Su Yun: "...", continued sweeping the floor. Wang Ziyu asked her, "What major are you? What year? What class? Do you have a boyfriend?" Su Yun had some black lines (was annoyed), but still replied, "International Trade, freshman, Class 7, no, what about you?" and counter-questioned.

  Wang Ziyu seemed very happy: "Me! I just transferred, and today is my first time coming to school! I'm also a freshman, Chinese Medicine Department Class 3." Su Yin continued: "Oh! You actually transferred, which school were you from originally?" Wang Ziyu replied casually: "S University!" Su Yin nodded, suddenly reacting, and raised her head abruptly, her voice rising: "S University? You said S University!"

  Wang Ziyu nodded, Su Yin looked incredulous and asked with difficulty: "Why? Isn't S University better? Why come to A University?" Wang Ziyu smiled gently: "I'm looking for someone!" Su Yin subconsciously asked: "Who?" After asking, she felt abrupt and suddenly very embarrassed, just about to apologize, when the other party smoothly said: "A man!" In an instant, she swallowed back the words in her mouth: "……"

  Looking at Su Yin's stiff face, Wang Zhiyu burst out laughing and punched her shoulder: "Su Yin, you're so interesting! Haha, I'm so happy to meet you on the first day, let's be good friends? How about it? Please give me more advice in the future!" As he stretched out his hand, she shook it. The two were smiling at each other when a lazy and rude guy walked by, spitting a mouthful of thick phlegm and throwing a used tissue onto the road they had just cleaned.

  His words were met with a frown, and he shouted: "Hey! Kid! Pick it up for me!" Su Yin was startled, although she was also very angry, but seeing Zhī Yǔ's impolite appearance, she didn't know whether to stop him or not.

  That man looked over, disdainfully picked up his shoes and smoothed them out, but then lifted his leg to put it in his pocket, not even bothering to look back as he walked away. The words made him so angry that smoke was coming out of his head, and he suddenly jumped up, blocked the man's way, and forced him to pick it up.

  The man looked him up and down, probably feeling embarrassed, and said in a very arrogant tone: "Ah! I won't pick it up! What are you going to do?" Su Yin heard this and felt a surge of anger, but the next moment she was shocked. She saw Zhi Yu coldly smiling, gritting his teeth and saying: "What's there to do? Nothing much, just want to beat you up!"

  With a few words, she swept the broom and knocked down the man who was much taller than her. The man cursed and resisted, got punched in the mouth, tried to fight back, but his stomach was kicked and soon he could only cry out in pain and run away with his pants wet.

  Su Yin's face was filled with surprise and helplessness, saying: "Next time you hit someone, remember to do it a bit further away. Look, the fallen leaves I just swept up are all over the place again, and that piece of paper hasn't even been picked up yet!" Zhi Yu looked at Su Yin's helpless expression and burst out laughing.

  Within a short half hour, Su Yun initially felt that Wang Ziyu's words were particularly unusual. Beautiful and lively, generous and not pretentious, speaking was very interesting, although the adopted mode was quite strange, within five sentences, it must be astonishing! More importantly, she looked petite, but was actually a real martial arts practitioner! Female knight! This is! To be honest, she liked this kind of personality in girls the most, easy to get along with, not troublesome! It's just that, for communication, she really needed to adapt well!
