13: Chapter 13 She's not worthy

The sun dipped below the horizon.

The burning sky looked just like Xiyan.

He chewed on her name, lost in thought. His heart felt both full and empty at the same time; so, this was what it meant to like someone—a piece of one's heart would go missing, never to be filled.

Su Yue hid for two days.

She didn't even dare to go to the girls' restroom, afraid that Zhang Xiaoxiao would be waiting there to give her a "surprise."

She wanted to send Gu Yanchen some seductive messages to tease him, but felt the timing wasn't right. She felt stifled all day, so whenever she had free time, she would run on the track, back and forth without stopping.

The weather in May was exceptionally hot, and she wore less and less.

Shorts, a small tank top.

The bangs soaked with sweat stuck to her delicate face, and combined with those snow-white thighs and heaving chest, the temptation was full-blown. The boys were like souls lost; instead of staying in air-conditioned rooms on such a hot day, they braved the scorching sun to come over to "review," and even secretly brought her water.

She really had a way with things.

Waiting and waiting, she didn't see Gu Yanchen coming to show his devotion, so she simply decided to fish for some small fry first.

No matter who brought her water, she accepted it all.

—After all, for every extra infatuated fool, there was one more sucker who could stand in front at a critical moment.

After this move, her social media account was almost full.

Su Yue was very satisfied with her results, replying to messages whenever she had time, feeding the "fish" in her "fishpond." Su Yues deskmate didn't quite approve, but only reminded her not to go too far.

Su Yue smiled and told Su Yues deskmate not to worry.

She knew her limits.

As her followers increased, Su Yue's courage grew.

She was no longer timid; after school, she didn't just take the car home, but instead took her "fishes" out to shop, eat, and go to KTV, playing however she wanted, enjoying the last carnival before the end of the world.

Zhang Xiaoxiao brought people to pick a fight twice, but failed both times, leaving with her tail between her legs.

Su Yue became even more unscrupulous.

After playing to her heart's content, she thought that even without Gu Yanchen, raising a group of lackeys could win by sheer numbers. But her sweet dream didn't last two days before reality shattered it.

Zhang Xiaoxiao hired a big brother from the streets to corner her in a KTV private room.

The Tattooed Guy, accompanied by a few burly, thick-set men, just stood at the door, and the young guys who had been fawning over Su Yue were immediately scared out of their wits, scrambling away like cowards, crying and calling for their mothers.

Su Yue: ...

They were all high school students, so why were these guys so useless?

There was no other way, so Su Yue bit the bullet and spoke up: "Brother, let's talk this over."

The Tattooed Guy waved his hand, and a bottle shattered all over the floor. He said if she ate those broken glass shards, everything could be negotiated.

Zhang Xiaoxiao held her phone in the back, giggling, the flash flickering as she was recording: "Brother, stop wasting words with her. Let the brothers take turns teaching her a lesson, and I'll film the video!"

Su Yue coughed twice and shook two stacks of red bills out of her schoolbag.

"Big Brother, for the sake of the money, can you let me make a phone call?"

The Tattooed Guy eyed her sideways, looking down on her, "Don't play any tricks. Calling the police is useless; I run this territory!"

"Right, right, right."

Su Yue nodded frantically and dialed a number: "Gu Yanchen, aren't you going to manage your girlfriend? We've already broken up, yet she's still bringing people to the KTV to pick a fight with me. Isn't this just acting crazy?"

The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Zhang Xiaoxiao immediately exploded, "Shut up! Su Yue!"

What the hell?

She brought people to teach the mistress a lesson, and the mistress, on the contrary, called Gu Yanchen in front of all these big shots to deal with his own legitimate girlfriend?

What kind of insane move was that? It was truly disgusting.

Don't know who laughed first, but Zhang Xiaoxiao's last shred of sanity snapped. Before the thugs could even move, she rushed up with her phone and slapped Su Yue twice.

Su Yue was no pushover either.

Spitting out the blood in her mouth, she grabbed Zhang Xiaoxiao's hair and slapped her back twice.

It left Zhang Xiaoxiao dizzy and disoriented.

The two of them tangled together, and no one else could intervene.

Zhang Xiaoxiao was a delinquent to begin with, so fighting was common for her—it was normal for her to be good at it. But what was up with Su Yue?

A rich young lady in a school uniform, yet she was so ruthless; slapping wasn't enough to satisfy her, so she started using her fists.

Every punch landed solidly; her attacks were extremely heavy.

Zhang Xiaoxiao screamed in pain.

The Tattooed Guy's eyelids twitched, "Go, show this woman a lesson."

Just as they were about to hoist Su Yue up, the KTV door was kicked open.

Gu Yanchen stormed in, the veins on his face bulging.

He scanned the room and said sarcastically:

"Su Yue, where are your lackeys? Where did they die off to?"

Su Yue blinked, "Yeah, where did they die off to?"

They kept saying they would go through fire and water for her.

But as soon as they met some real tough guys, they chickened out.

What a letdown.

Better to cling to a real powerhouse; don't count on those small fries.

Zhang Xiaoxiao finally managed to crawl up, furious to the point of madness, and kicked toward Su Yue.

Gu Yanchen held her back.

"What are you doing?"

"What are you doing! Gu Yanchen!" Zhang Xiaoxiao looked at her boyfriend in disbelief, "My nose is bleeding from her hitting me, and you're asking me what I'm doing! She calls and you come right away; are you a dog raised by Su Yue?"

Gu Yanchen turned his head away.

It seemed he really was a bit like a dog.

A rare look of contemplation wrinkled his face.

Zhang Xiaoxiao seized the opportunity to add fuel to the fire, "Don't forget how she humiliated you back then... If it weren't for me being the light behind you, pulling you out of the mud..."

Zhang Xiaoxiao kept bringing up old scores without stopping.

Su Yue pursed her lips and leisurely picked her ear.

She had heard enough.

The girl cowered and shrank her neck, hiding in the corner like a little mouse, and let out a soft whimper, which caused Gu Yanchen's eyes to sharpen. Without a word, he took off his jacket and draped it over her.
