Chapter 116
At the same time, behind the school mountain.
Wei Shixu didn't go to the student council but instead made his way to a long-abandoned corner.
He walked up behind a student who was eating instant noodles and asked, "Which one are you?"
The student was initially confused, but when he turned around and saw it was Wei Shixu, he was startled. Seeing Wei Shixu's dark expression, his legs began to tremble.
"R-report, Brother Wei! I'm number two!" he stammered in response.
Wei Shixu: "Number two, go and call Zuo Zichen over."
When Zuo Zichen was called to the back of the mountain, he was completely bewildered, panicked, and even despairing!
Brother Wei! He was really begging you!
He really wanted to study hard!
He was even living in the dormitory now!
Was this going to be a fight, or was he going to get beaten? Just give him a straight answer.
Zuo Zichen didn't dare to ask, just hung his head in fear, waiting for Wei Shixu to speak.
Finally, Wei Shixu spoke: "You know the troublemakers outside the school, right?"
Zuo Zichen took a deep breath and said, "Brother Wei, I've already quit that life! I just want to study hard now. I haven't contacted them for months!"
Over the past two months, he had seen the situation clearly and understood the absurdity of the Zuo family.
In less than a year, Zuo Zichen felt like he had been through a dream.
Beaten by his sister, awakened by Zhuge Ying, and stirred by the past.
Everything was fake, even the wealth of the Zuo family.
If he didn't study hard now, he was done for!
Wei Shixu asked: "Who controls the street outside the school? Chen? Zhao?"
He had done some investigating, but it was too messy and complicated. It would be too troublesome to dig deeper, so it was better to ask Zuo Zichen, who had been involved in that life before.
Zuo Zichen: "Brother Chen, you mean Boss Chen?"
Wei Shixu chuckled: "Boss..."
"Oh no no no!" Zuo Zichen quickly shook his head: "Little Chen, Brother Wei, you mean Little Chen, right?"
Wei Shixu: "Yes, give me his contact information."
Zuo Zichen awkwardly said, "I, I deleted it."
Wei Shixu frowned.
Zuo Zichen quickly raised his hand: "I can get it! I know where he hangs out!"
Wei Shixu: "Perfect, you be the middleman."
Zuo Zichen breathed a sigh of relief.
But then Wei Shixu's next words were: "Tell him to get a few people to ambush and beat me up. The price doesn't matter."
Zuo Zichen almost choked on his breath!!!
Wei Shixu took out a phone card and handed it to him: "Keep it hidden, don't tell your sister."
He had even prepared for this!
Zuo Zichen was utterly distraught: "...Brother Wei!!"
Wei Shixu: "I'll decide the time and place, don't mess it up."
Zuo Zichen: "..."
Wei Shixu: "Do you understand?"
Zuo Zichen nodded, on the verge of tears: "Understood, got it! Don't worry, Brother Wei."
...
A few days later, rumors about Wei Shixu began to circulate in the school.
"Is he a sickly guy?"
"Yeah, he's always carrying bags of Chinese medicine, drinking it morning, noon, and night."
"And he never goes to P.E. class, doesn't play basketball, doesn't run. Is he the type to faint at any moment?"
"Didn't Quan Zhisui beat him up last time? He didn't fight back, and he didn't even retaliate."
"He's that weak? He must be bad in that department too..."
"Pfft! You're asking for trouble!"
"And he's so pale, what's it called? Cold white skin? He's as white as a girl!"
"..."
At noon that day, it was still teaching time.
Quan Zhisui was giving Lu Li a private lesson in the student council. She held a teaching rod in her hand, lightly tapping his elbow and shoulder.
"I've told you countless times, sink your shoulders and drop your elbows. Can't you understand these four words?"
Her movements weren't forceful, and the rod only touched him lightly, but her tone and words were very much like a strict teacher.
So much so that Lu Li couldn't even maintain his smile anymore and said, "Quan Zhisui, you're really too strict."
Quan Zhisui nodded: "You're really too careless."
Lu Li: "..."
The other four had already learned half of it, and hearing this, they didn't know what to say. Lu Li actually had good physical coordination, but for some reason, he just couldn't get the hang of Tai Chi.
Even though Quan Zhisui taught in great detail.
After another failed attempt, Lu Li asked: "I still don't get this move. How many times do I cross my hands?"
He made a bending motion in the air.
Quan Zhisui shook her head: "Not crossing, it's one block and one throw. When you do a shoulder throw, grab the opponent's wrist, press your knee against their lower body, then use your waist to twist your body over."
"A shoulder throw?" Lu Li's eyes lit up: "Can you demonstrate with me?"
The others also gathered around, wanting to see how it was done. How could Tai Chi be connected to a shoulder throw?
Quan Zhisui looked at his wrist but didn't reach out, instead continuing to tap with the teaching rod: "These two positions, don't you understand?"
Lu Li shook his head: "Not really, can you demonstrate? Just grab me."
Quan Zhisui looked up, staring straight at him.
Just then...
Her phone vibrated. It was a call from Wei Shixu.
Quan Zhisui answered: "What's wrong?"
The other end was noisy, accompanied by the sound of sticks hitting and some filthy curses.
Wei Shixu's voice was weak, constantly letting out muffled groans from being hit, unable to form a complete sentence.
Quan Zhisui's face instantly changed!
"Where are you?" she asked, rushing out as she spoke.
On the phone, intermittent laughter and curses could be heard.
"Is this the sickly kid from Liang Secondary School?"
"Hahaha! Dares to come out alone to buy chocolate?"
"Hey! Who's the chocolate for, huh?"
"Kid! Remember, don't ever come to XX Street again! We'll beat you up every time we see you!"
"..."
Hearing this, Quan Zhisui already knew the exact location. She shot out of the corridor like a cannonball, not even taking the stairs, leaping over the railing from the second floor and landing below!
She sprinted toward the school gate!
In the office, the members of the sports department exchanged glances, especially shocked at how Quan Zhisui had disappeared in a flash.
"What's going on? She even jumped down!"
"She really does know martial arts!"
"But Lu Li, what's up with you? Didn't you learn this move yesterday when we were practicing together?"
"Haha, isn't it obvious? Lu Li wants to chase Quan Zhisui!"
"Uh, isn't Quan Zhisui with Wei Shixu..."
Lu Li smiled: "I asked around. They're just classmates, not boyfriend and girlfriend."
The other four laughed along.
"Well, good luck then. With a rival that rich, it's tough."
"Rich is just rich. He's been chasing her for so long, and she hasn't agreed. There must be some hidden reason."
"Money isn't everything."
"I heard Wei Shixu's health isn't great?"
"Handsome, sure, but a sickly guy..."
"Quan Zhisui is so physically strong, Wei Shixu can't handle her."
Lu Li smiled: "Then you guys help me out. Today, I almost got to hold her hand."
The others burst into laughter, suddenly starting to discuss whether Quan Zhisui's hands were soft.
