"It doesn't matter. Cheating, taking advantage of troubled waters, I will give you a chance to get out of this, and make you admit defeat with all your heart." Su Yi sneered, his eyes full of naked contempt. "Come, I'll give you another chance. There is a moon in Chang'an, and the sound of clothes pounding can be heard in thousands of households. Li Bai, Midnight Wu Song: Autumn Song."
Everyone was completely afraid to speak.
They felt that Su Yi had won this match brilliantly and arrogantly, but he was the most handsome! Regardless of Zhao Xingchen, they were all convinced and in awe.
After a long silence, Zhao Xingchen could no longer answer. After being slapped in the face by Su Yi, it was impossible for her to say any other poems. But she really couldn't think of any poems by Du Fu. She stood there with a stiff face. She thought for a long time, but had no clue. Then a few minutes passed. She scratched her head, but still couldn't think of anything. Facing everyone's gaze, she felt like she was being tortured by a pair of eyes. She gradually had difficulty breathing and became anxious and panicked.
Su Yi wanted her to look completely embarrassed, so she deliberately smiled and asked, "What's wrong? Xingchen, you can't answer?"
Zhao Xingchen's embarrassing situation was exposed by her. He was dumbfounded for a moment, took two steps back, and almost forgot to breathe.
After a moment, she seemed to have suddenly thought of a solution. She looked towards Fu Jinglun, her eyes almost tearful and pitiful, as if she was asking for help.
Fu Jinglun sighed inwardly and just as he was about to stand up to smooth things over, he heard Su Yi turn his head and say to Mu Nanxi, "Oh, here we go again, crying, making a scene, and threatening to commit suicide. Every time you lose, you act like a fake. You're such a good white lotus. It's exhausting to watch."
Mu Nanxi laughed immediately, "Of course, if she doesn't pretend and shed a few tears, how can she trick a man into standing up for her? Otherwise, how can she get away with this 'kneeling down to admit her fault'?" He deliberately emphasized the words "kneeling down to admit her fault" and said with a smile, "But it's useless. We never listen to people's pleas for mercy, because we are both hard-hearted."
"Pfft!" Everyone didn't want to laugh, but they couldn't help but laugh at Mu Nanxi's sarcastic and pointed accusations, which were so sharp and funny.
Seeing everyone laughing, the sad atmosphere that Zhao Xingchen had worked so hard to create suddenly disappeared. For a moment, her face turned alternately blue and white, looking extremely ugly.
"Fu Jinglun, I think you should stay out of the matter between girls. This is originally a personal grudge between them. If you interfere, you will be in trouble both inside and outside." Mu Nanxi and Fu Jinglun have a good relationship, so when he said this, Fu Jinglun did not refute.
Although Zhao Xingchen had a close relationship with him, he didn't want to make Su Yi unhappy.
Fu Jinglun had heard about why Su Yi and Zhao Xingchen had a fight in No. 2 Middle School. The reason was that he was close to Su Yi, and Xingchen disliked her and deliberately targeted and ridiculed her. However, she was no match for Su Yi in terms of talent or words, and was always frustrated and hated Su Yi. Later, Xingchen somehow found out that Su Yi's parents were not in harmony and her mother suffered from manic depression. She spread the news about Su Yi's mother in school and said that Su Yi inherited her mother's genes, often smashing chairs in the dormitory, and had a mental illness.
He still remembered that afternoon. It was raining. Su Yi walked into the classroom from the gloomy corridor. With the cool rain on her body, she slowly walked to the seats where Fu Jinglun and Zhao Xingchen were sitting. Then he didn't see clearly how Su Yi made her move, but in short, her movements were very fast. The slender white hand fell on Zhao Xingchen's hair and pulled her out of her seat. Then the desks and chairs fell down with a crackling sound. There was chaos. Su Yi pressed Zhao Xingchen on a table and hit her with a chair in his hand, instantly knocking Zhao Xingchen unconscious.
At that time, he first wondered how she managed to hold Zhao Xingchen down with one hand and pick up the chair with the other
Then, looking at Zhao Xingchen who was unconscious with blood on her head, Fu Jinglun was afraid. Her cruelty scared him. Although he had a slight liking for her at that time, he felt that she was a violent person. He did not dare to approach her and even felt that she was scary.
Of course, all the students thought so, so in the end Zhao Xingchen was hospitalized and Su Yi was expelled.
On the day she was expelled, she was very calm. She slowly packed her things in the classroom, then threw her schoolbag on her back, leaving a handsome and cool back view to all her classmates.
He thought that after she left and he could no longer see her, he would gradually forget about her and concentrate on his studies. But that was not the case. The noisy, cheerful and talented girl left, and the whole world seemed to have lost its color. He missed her even more than when he saw her every day before. He missed her humorous words that never stopped shocking people, and her lively personality that was full of mischief and made the teacher helpless. A girl like her is destined to remain vivid in everyone's memory.
It was not until the national competition, when he saw Su Yi again standing in the camp of the rival school, that he realized that his longing for her had never stopped for a second, and even increased with the passage of time. She even smiled at him and said: Fu Jinglun, long time no see.
Fu Jinglun's heart began to beat wildly, as if it was out of control, throbbing at a frequency that was both unfamiliar and exciting to him...
Thinking of this, Fu Jinglun came back to his senses. Su Yi and Xingchen were still confronting each other. Xingchen looked at him steadily, his eyes full of pleading, wanting him to speak.
Fu Jinglun moved his body, and finally, he turned his head away, choosing to turn a blind eye.
Zhao Xingchen's eyes were filled with disappointment and despair.
Mu Nanxi said: "The competition was witnessed by everyone. It was fair and just. Zhao Xingchen said that Su Yi was not as good as her. Now that the competition is over, it proves that Su Yi is as good as her. So the losers should accept the defeat and fulfill their promises."
After he finished speaking, Zhao Xingchen still showed no intention of moving.
Su Yi was not in a hurry either. She took the "Girls' Psychological Test" from a classmate next to her and read it with relish.
Seeing that Zhao Xingchen didn't move, Mu Nanxi urged her, "Zhao Xingchen."
Zhao Xingchen glared at him. It was none of his business. Why was he so nosy? He had nothing to do! Bullying girls! He was not a man at all!
"Zhao Xingchen, you have to accept the defeat, do you understand? You were so arrogant when you slandered others just now, and now you want to deny it after losing the game? Do you think everyone in the world is your mother? Everyone has to accommodate your willfulness and bad mouth?" She didn't say anything, but Mu Nanxi kept teasing her with words, forcing her to kneel down to Su Yi.
Zhao Xingchen was stabbed by his words and looked embarrassed. She regretted it to the extreme. She knew Su Yi's strength, but why couldn't she control her mouth and provoke her? As a result, she was forced into this difficult situation. She could not kneel down to Su Yi. But if she didn't fulfill her promise, Mu Nanxi would not let her go. His words were more and more harsh.
