They had to train every day for two consecutive weeks, until the day before the sports meet, when the teacher let them go home early to prepare for the official competition the next day.
Su Yi walked out of the playground with her schoolbag on her back, and Zhang Jiajia caught up with her from behind.
"The competition is tomorrow, Sue, are you nervous?"
"Not bad." Su Yi took out a lollipop from her schoolbag, peeled off the wrapper and put it in her mouth, then handed the other one to Zhang Jiajia.
Zhang Jiajia waved her hands and shook her long ponytail. "Thank you, I won't eat it. To be honest, Su Yi, I envy you so much. You can eat so much without getting fat or acne."
Since the training began, the two have slowly become familiar with each other and often eat lunch together. Zhang Jiajia was amazed at Su Yi's appetite the first time, but now she is used to it and it doesn't take too long.
Girls of this age love beauty, but it is also the age when they are prone to gaining weight and acne. Zhang Jiajia is not fat, but the acne on her face has been there for more than half a year. She has tried various methods but none of them worked. Every time she can only drool while watching Su Yi eat fried chicken legs and French fries, and can't help but sigh at her good skin where you can't even see her pores.
"By the way, let me tell you something."
Sue turned her head, and the hard candy made a bulge on her cheek. When she opened her mouth, the bulge moved. "What's the matter?"
Zhang Jiajia glanced at the bulge several times, resisted the urge to poke it, and forced herself to divert her attention. "During the break, I heard the girls in the class discussing that someone seemed to want to get Senior Xiao's contact information through you."
"Who is it?" Su Yi was a little curious.
"Several." Zhang Jiajia shrugged. Ever since she saw Senior Xiao carrying Su Yi's backpack several times at the training ground, the class has been talking about the two of them. Fortunately, it was later discovered that they were siblings, otherwise Su Yi would have been in love again in the eyes of them.
Zhang Jiajia added: "I just heard that they had this intention. I'm not sure whether they will come to ask you specifically. I want you to know first so that you can think about how to deal with it."
Su Yi nodded, "Thank you, you really don't eat candy?"
"No," Zhang Jiajia said with a smile, "I'm not a three-year-old child. Ah, I saw my father's car. Goodbye, Su Yi, have a good rest tonight, and cheer up tomorrow!"
Zhang Jiajia waved her hand and ran away. Su Yi also waved at her and quickly found the Xiao family's car, but only Uncle He was in the car, and Xiao Yan had not arrived yet.
"Xiao Yan just called and said that something urgent happened in class, so we should go back first." Uncle He explained.
Sue looked towards the school gate, "Will he take long?"
"I don't think so. It seems like he's going to be here for tomorrow's sports meeting. He'll probably be out in half an hour. How about we wait for him?"
"Okay." Su Yi had no objection. Anyway, the training ended earlier than usual today.
The lollipop in her mouth melted in a short while. She smacked her lips and wanted to eat something else. As she had nothing to do, she said to Uncle He, "I'll go buy some snacks and be back soon."
"Don't go too far!" Uncle He warned from behind.
"knew!"
Su Yi looked around, crossed the road, and went into an alley. His destination was clear: the same primary school as last time.
She put her hand in her pocket and shook it, and several coins clinked. She took them all out and counted them. There were four coins to one banknote, and she was just short of two digits.
"I'm so poor." She fiddled with the coins in her palm.
Mao Tuan comforted her: "It's okay. Nine dollars can buy a sausage and a chicken drumstick. The bonus will come right after the sports meet."
"There is also a monthly exam." Sue said, "There is a monthly exam next week."
"Yes, your goal is 60th place. I remember that. By the way, Yi Yi, there is actually another way to make money."
Sue's eyes lit up, "What?"
Maotuan spread his paws and said, "Your classmates are asking for Xiao Yan's contact information, right? We can sell it to them. I'm sure someone will be willing to pay for it."
Su Yi frowned and shook his head: "Not good."
"What's wrong?" Mao Tuan asked.
Su Yi continued to fiddle with the coins, without even looking up, and said, "Xiao Yan is half of ours, do you think you can sell out your own people?"
Mao Tuan paused for a moment and said hesitantly, "It's not that serious, at most it's just a phone number. And if those girls come to ask you, how are you going to reply?"
"You said you don't know," Su Yi raised an eyebrow, "Do you know Xiao Yan's contact information?"
Well... I really don't know.
Although such an answer would most likely cause dissatisfaction among others, the Great Devil was fearless.
Su Yi quickly spent the money in his pocket and walked back satisfied.
It was getting dark, and the street lights in the alley were on. The dim yellow light did not provide much illumination. The alley was quite lively when students just got out of school, but now it seemed very deserted.
When turning a corner, he suddenly heard suppressed sobbing in front of him. Su Yi paused, took cover of the wall, and slowly stuck his head out.
Not far away, under a street lamp, next to a trash can with a strange smell, two tall boys pushed another short boy, threw his schoolbag on the ground, stepped on it a few times, and said with disdain, "Why are you pretending to be a good student? With your appearance, do you understand what the teacher is saying?"
The other one said impatiently: "Don't waste your words on him. Hey, what's wrong with you? It's been too long since you got beaten up, right? You're sending a beggar away with just a few dollars?"
The short boy timidly said something and no one knew what he was talking about, but he was pushed and hit again.
Su Yi looked down at Mao Tuan and asked, "Are they robbing me?"
Mao Tuan felt that there seemed to be a strange light in her eyes. He moved his paws and said hesitantly, "It shouldn't be considered extortion. It will only constitute a crime when the amount is relatively large. And judging from their age, they are still minors, and the police will not care."
Su Yi's eyes sparkled, "Isn't it illegal?"
"It's against the law, but no one is investigating..." Seeing that Su Yi was about to do something, Mao Tuan quickly said, "Yi Yi, this is not good, right? What if grandma finds out?"
The last sentence successfully made Su Yi take back her steps. She held her chin and thought for a while, then suddenly stood up straight, pulled her clothes, patted the corners of her clothes, and then walked over as if nothing had happened.
The clacking sound of small leather shoes on the ground was particularly obvious in the quiet alley. The two boys looked over almost immediately. Seeing that it was just a little girl, they looked at each other. One of them moved his neck, walked over lazily, and blocked Su Yi's way. "Girl, where are you going so late? Lend me some money to spend."
Su Yi blinked and said to Maotuan in his mind: "You saw it, they started it first. I had no choice."
At the school gate, Uncle He kept looking at the sky, feeling a little anxious. When he saw Xiao Yan finally appeared, he quickly got out of the car and said, "Yi Yi just said she was going to buy something and hasn't come back yet. I was just about to go look for her."
Xiao Yan's face condensed, "I'll go find him, Uncle He, you wait here."
"Oh, that's fine. If Yi Yi comes back, I'll call you."
Xiao Yan nodded and walked quickly in the direction Uncle He said.
Although it was only six o'clock in the afternoon, the sky was dark and the alley was deserted. Just after walking a few dozen meters, he heard an unusual noise coming from the front, and Xiao Yan couldn't help but jogging.
Sometimes there are gangsters hanging around the school. If a girl encounters one...
Xiao Yan's face became even uglier. He ran faster and faster, and suddenly turned a corner, and several figures appeared in front of him.
He had previously imagined several scenarios, including the worst, but he had never expected what was happening before him.
His stepsister, who was petite and soft-spoken, seemed to be frightened by others who were a little bit aggressive. But at this moment, she was stepping on a boy and holding a hooligans who was a head taller than her. She said in a clear and vicious voice: "Just these few dollars, to get rid of beggars!"
Xiao Yan never doubts himself, but at this moment, he wondered if he had run dizzy or was hallucinating.
Su Yi was the first to notice him. She was a little startled, and her men were not paying attention, so she threw the gangster out. The gangster covered his buttocks and cried out in pain.
Xiao Yan took a deep breath, and the expression on his face barely remained tense.
He took a few steps closer, "What's going on?"
Su Yi groaned, pointed at the short boy squatting in the corner with an innocent face, and said, "I caught them trying to rob him of his money, and they tried to rob me, so I beat them up."
She spoke so frankly that Xiao Yan was at a loss for words for a moment, and asked after a long while, "Are you hurt?"
"No." Sue shook her head.
"Then give the money back."
“Oh…” Su Yi glanced at the money in her hand which was still wet, walked to the short boy, and returned it to him reluctantly.
Seeing that she had finished paying, Xiao Yan took off his coat and handed it to her: "Help me hold it."
Su Yi didn't understand what was going on, but she saw Xiao Yan rolling up his sleeves, walking up to the two thugs who had just gotten up, and without saying a word, beat them up again, and then led her away.
Uncle He was standing by the car. When he saw them coming back, he breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but say, "Yiyi, don't go so far to buy things next time. Fortunately, nothing happened today."
Su Yi glanced at Xiao Yan and responded vaguely.
Xiao Yan didn't seem to have any intention of exposing her. His expression remained normal as he said to Uncle He, "Let's go. It's late."
The car ride back was quiet. Mao Tuan whispered to Su Yi, "He won't complain to grandma, will he?"
Sue pouted, "I returned all the money."
"The money was paid back, but the fight happened. Some people think that children fighting is a serious problem."
"He just hit me too." Su Yi muttered, but she was not sure whether Xiao Yan would tell her grandmother. Although her grandmother never scolded her, once she showed a worried and disappointed look, it was more painful than beating or scolding.
So she glanced at Xiao Yan again and again.
Xiao Yan was swiping on a tablet as usual, seemingly doing something serious.
If Sue is interested in looking at his screen, he will find that his current search content is:
How strong are the average girls
I found out that my sister likes to hit people. How should I correct her
My sister seems to like money very much. Should I fulfill her wish
After browsing for a while, he noticed the gaze coming from the side. He thought for a moment, closed a few pages, and searched again: girls' favorite snacks.
Then I opened the shopping website and placed dozens of orders for snacks according to the ranking.
