Oh my god, it's gone up again.
Turning her head in disbelief to look at Li Yiyi, Li Su was stunned by the sudden surprise.
"Li Su, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?"
"No, no, you're prettier than a flower."
Having learned from her previous experience of losing favor points, Li Su was completely focused this time, not daring to be distracted for even a moment. As soon as Li Yiyi finished speaking, Li Su immediately followed up.
The secret passage is a pity.
Li Su reacted so quickly that Li Yi couldn't even find a chance to give Li Su a taste of what a roller coaster ride was like.
"Li Su, how far is your home?"
"It's just ahead, turn that alley and you'll find it."
The further they walked, the more remote the area became, and the houses changed from high-rises to low-rise buildings. As they walked, Li Su kept looking back at Li Yiyi's expression.
To better fit her new persona, Li Yi feigned disdain, adopting the demeanor of a pampered young lady, while of course, she didn't forget her hatred for Li Su.
“Li Su, how come your family lives in such a dilapidated place? It’s even worse than the pictures in the comic books. Look at this, this isn’t a road, how could there be these things on the road?”
In a particularly affected manner, Li Yiyi pulled up her pants and jumped up and down.
Her pointing and gesturing successfully made Li Su's face darken. Li Yiyi saw this and continued to point and gesture. The feedback she received showed how ridiculously affected she was.
"Li Su, how far is your home? If I had known your home was so dirty, I wouldn't have come."
"Do you know that my parents bought these shoes for me? They cost more than thirty yuan a pair. If I go to your house, they will get dirty. You have to clean them for me."
“Li Su, you’ve never worn such a beautiful dress before, have you? My grandfather bought it for me. It cost over fifty yuan and was only available at the Overseas Chinese Store.”
“Li Su, look at my schoolbag. My uncle bought it for me. It cost twenty yuan and it’s a very popular item in Haicheng.”
“Li Su, look at the hair clip in my hair. My cousin bought it for me. It cost five yuan. I said it was too expensive and I didn’t want to buy it, but my cousin insisted on buying it. He said I’m the little darling of our family and all the good things should be mine.”
"Li Su..."
......
What should have been a few minutes' walk felt incredibly long to Li Su, her ears filled with Li Yiyi's boastful voice. Li Su was consumed by envy and jealousy.
I feel like my heart is being eaten away by jealousy. Why does Li Yiyi get to live so well?
Little skirt, little leather shoes, flower hair clip, new schoolbag...
She had none of these things, not even the old ones, let alone the new ones; the only junk left in the house was hers.
I really wanted to turn around and yell at Li Yiyi, "Stop talking!"
But Li Su dared not. She needed the favorability points that she had worked so hard to gain and dared not lose them. Only when the favorability points reached a certain level could she replace Li Yiyi.
Just wait and see, a dark glint flashed in his eyes.
Li Yiyi's parents, maternal grandparents, cousins, and uncles will all be hers. The day she enters the house, Li Yiyi will become a pitiful, unwanted child.
She will then return all the humiliation she suffered to Li Yiyi.
Her back view exuded resentment, but there was no way around it; she had to keep talking, otherwise everything she had said earlier would be for nothing.
"We've arrived. My house is just ahead."
Amidst the sounds of boasting, they finally arrived at Li Su's house. Li Su breathed a sigh of relief, as did Li Yiyi.
With her ears finally at peace, Li Su felt she never wanted to be alone with Li Yiyi again.
No need to speak anymore, Li Yiyi finally shut her mouth. Was being alone with Li Su disgusting Li Su or hurting herself? Li Yiyi fell into deep thought.
"Bang!"
As soon as the door opened, an unidentified flying object swooped in. Instinctively, Li Yiyi dodged far away. The object landed on the door, splashing liquid from inside, some of which landed on Li Su.
The black clothes were speckled with spots, and coupled with Li Su's tearful expression, she looked incredibly pitiful.
Oh, I see. Li Yiyi understood.
No wonder Li Su was so determined to bring her home; he wanted to show her his family's poverty, to arouse her pity, and thus sympathize with her, bringing the two closer.
"Yi-yi, are you alright? My mom... my mom didn't do it on purpose."
She forced a bitter smile, tears welling up but not falling, her eyes gleaming as she looked at Li Yiyi.
"Li Su, I'm fine. I know your mother didn't mean it, after all, she didn't know I was coming today."
Li Yiyi deliberately defied expectations and didn't follow the conventional path when Li Su wanted her to do something.
She has a rebellious streak that Li Su alone cannot correct.
A look of astonishment flashed across her face, and even tears welled up in her eyes. Li Yi saw everything clearly; it seemed she had guessed Li Su's plan correctly.
Just as she opened her mouth, as if to say something, Li Su's mother arrived carrying a stick.
"You brat, what are you hiding for? What have you been doing today, coming back so late? What did you promise me before? You can go to school, but you have to come back on time every day to do things. Look at the time today, tell me what happened."
Pretending to grab the stick and charge, Li Su, feigning fear, hid behind Li Yiyi.
Using her as a shield? No, absolutely not.
With a leap, strong enough to break free from Li Su's grasp, Li Yiyi dashed to the side in a flash.
Ugh, that's disgusting. I almost got some of Li Su's liquid on me.
"ah"
She watched helplessly as Li Yi threw the stick away, but it had already fallen and couldn't be taken back. Her anger, coupled with remembering what Li Su had told her...
Li Su's mother used all her strength when she struck, and the stick landed on Li Su, who immediately cried out in pain.
