Chapter 19: Splashed Lu Chi All Over

"You!"

Zhou Xian's face looked somewhat grim.

Seeing her brother already raise the ruler in his hand, Zhou Tingting immediately said: "Brother! I am your own sister! Are you really going to hit me with that?"

Since childhood, Zhou Xian has always protected his sister.

He has never actually hit her.

Each time he merely tried to scare her.

Seeing Zhou Xian truly angry, Zhou Tingting sniffled and said: "I am your sister, yet you would hit me for Su Yun Jiao, an outsider! From now on I don't want you as my brother!"

After saying that, Zhou Tingting immediately turned back and went to the classroom.

In the classroom.

Zhou Tingting, angry, flung herself onto the desk and cried.

The other students, not knowing what had happened, gathered around.

"Tingting, what's wrong? Did the class monitor hit you?"

"Yeah, what exactly happened?"

Several female classmates were comforting Zhou Tingting.

Zhou Xian also walked in from outside the classroom.

Su Yun Jiao looked at Zhou Tingting, who seemed to have been scolded into tears, and couldn't help asking: "Class monitor, you're usually so good-tempered, yet you also scold people?"

"... I'm not."

"Your temper is great anyway, much better than your sister's."

Su Yun Jiao's voice had already grown very soft, but Zhou Tingting still heard it; thus she darkened her face and directly threw the book in her hand at Su Yun Jiao: "Shut up!"

In her anger, Zhou Tingting didn't even notice that she had picked up a heavy dictionary.

Su Yun Jiao thought this time she would be hit hard enough to bleed.

Who would have thought Zhou Xian suddenly stretched out his arm, blocking the dictionary Zhou Tingting threw: "Zhou Tingting! Don't go too far!"

Zhou Xian was the class monitor; he rarely lost his temper in class before.

Even Zhou Tingting had never seen her brother so furious.

For a moment, Zhou Tingting forgot to cry; her eye rims were red, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

"It was Su Yun Jiao who first spoke ill of Zhou Tingting—so who is really being unreasonable?"

Behind them, Lu Chi suddenly spoke up for Zhou Tingting.

Lu Chi had never before spoken up for any other girl.

For a moment, the female students in the class were stunned.

Even Zhou Tingting hadn't expected Lu Chi to speak up for her.

"Besides, you shouldn't hit someone with a dictionary!"

Zhou Xian's hand trembled slightly.

Su Yun Jiao quickly noticed a bruise forming on Zhou Xian's right arm from the impact.

"Class monitor, your hand..."

Behind them, Lu Chi watched Su Yun Jiao's worried look at Zhou Xian, couldn't help but chuckle coldly, and said: "What? Are you feeling sorry for Su Yun Jiao, class monitor? You couldn't possibly like her, could you?"

The atmosphere in the class was already oppressive, and the students loved juicy gossip.

When they heard Lu Chi say that, several boys nearby chimed in: "So the class monitor likes Su Yun Jiao—no wonder he was so worried when she fell down the stairs last time!"

"Yeah, he even specially prepared some Red Flower Oil."

"But class monitor, don't forget that Su Yun Jiao likes Lu Chi; to win him over she'd do anything—so you really shouldn't fall for a girl like her."

"Lu Chi, you say, isn't that right?"

……

The boys mocked and jeered.

Lu Chi merely gave a cold chuckle: "Women who throw themselves at you are the most boring; if you like her, I'll give her to you!"

Lu Chi's words completely ignited Zhou Xian's anger.

Before Zhou Xian could even raise his fist.

The classmates saw Su Yun Jiao directly pick up a thermos and stride straight to Lu Chi's front.

Only a splashing sound was heard.

The air in the classroom suddenly fell silent for a few seconds.

Everyone also sucked in a breath of cold air.

Soon, only the drip-drip of water remained in the classroom.

Lu Chi was drenched from head to toe with hot water from Su Yun Jiao's thermos.

Because it was hot water, steam rose from Lu Chi's clothes.

Even his face turned red.

"You may have insulted me, but who gave you the right to insult the class monitor?"

Su Yun Jiao's tone was icy, devoid of any affection.

It was worlds apart from how Su Yun Jiao used to treat Lu Chi.

Those nearby dared not speak.

For fear of being drenched head to toe by Su Yun Jiao.

"Lu Chi!"

Outside the classroom, Qin Xue had originally been bringing breakfast to Lu Chi.

I never expected to see such a scene upon entering the class.

"Lu Chi, how are you? Did you get scalded?"

Qin Xue looked at Lu Chi nervously.

Lu Chi's face also darkened: "Su-Yun-Jiao!"

This was already the second time Su Yun Jiao had lashed out at him for a man, embarrassing him.

"Su Yun Jiao! You're going too far; no matter what, you can't splash water on someone!"

Qin Xue's face turned pale.

"He has the nerve to humiliate and bully people in front of me; why can't I splash water on him?"

Su Yun Jiao glanced at Qin Xue and said: "Besides, this matter seems unrelated to you; you're not even in our class—what's going on? Are you standing up for Lu Chi?"

"I..."

"May I ask bluntly, what's your relationship? Are you boyfriend and girlfriend?"

Qin Xue also really wanted to admit that she and Lu Chi were boyfriend and girlfriend, but they were merely in an ambiguous stage.

Lu Chi had never acknowledged her as his girlfriend.

Seeing Su Yun Jiao's aggressive questioning, Qin Xue could only bite her lip and say: "I'm just Lu Chi's friend! You bullied my friend, so I must speak up for her!"

"Well, the class monitor is also my friend; Lu Chi humiliated me and the class monitor in front of me—am I wrong for splashing water on him?"

Su Yun Jiao's words left Qin Xue speechless.

"Okay, Su Yun Jiao, you've become so sharp-tongued."

Lu Chi stared coldly and said: "If you want to break up, just say it straight!"

Hearing Lu Chi finally say that, Su Yun Jiao clapped lightly: "Mm, that's exactly what I meant."

Upon hearing that, Lu Chi's expression suddenly stiffened.

He originally just wanted to say a harsh line to make Su Yun Jiao back down.

Because every time they argued, as long as he said that line, Su Yun Jiao would back down.

But this time, Su Yun Jiao straightforwardly agreed.

Only saw Su Yun Jiao return to her seat, dumping a stack of books from her drawer onto Lu Chi's face: "These are your exercise books, these are your homework, and this is your notes."

These were all things Lu Chi previously had Su Yun Jiao write for him.

At the start of each new semester, these were always in Su Yun Jiao's drawer; he just needed to go through the motions of attending school.

Now seeing these, Lu Chi's complexion changed.

Su Yun Jiao said: "Now, these belong back to their original owner."

The phrase "return to the original owner" made Lu Chi nearly break down.

Qin Xue on the side had long heard that Lu Chi and Su Yun Jiao had a good relationship, but she hadn't expected it to be this good.

Seeing the two about to break up, she actually felt a secret delight in her heart.
