Li Qianqian was so caught up in her own distracting thoughts that she barely even heard what the teacher was saying in class. It wasn't until the bell rang that she was jolted out of her chaotic thoughts. She packed her bag, looked at the two sisters' backs, and let out a long breath. As she exited the school gate, she saw her two girlfriends lingering on her. Her already irritable mood intensified.
She refused to pay any attention to the two girls, who followed her at a leisurely pace, all the way to a small alleyway she had to pass. "When will you pay us back? You good student, don't go back on your word," one girl said fiercely. "When did I ever owe you money? Don't even think of framing me." Li Qianqian, already fed up with their harassment, lost her temper. "Well, if you can't pay me back, then tell us who has the richest family in your class?" another girl reminded her. A sinister thought suddenly struck Li Qianqian as she heard this: Yu Zihan.
So, she told the two girls that Yu Zihan's family was very rich, and told them that Yu Zihan would go home with her sister Pei Shuyan every day. She told them that they could stop Yu Zihan on the road and ask her for money. The two girls were very excited to hear this news. They nodded repeatedly and said that they would definitely get Yu Zihan's money.
Li Qianqian knew that Yu Zihan's family had a background, so she pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Although their family is very rich, they also have a strong background, so I advise you not to have any ideas about them." After she said that, she glanced at the two of them.
Sure enough, the two began to hesitate after hearing her words.
Her tone was filled with undisguised jealousy and greed as she continued, "You don't even know. The clothes they wear and the things they use are things we've never seen before. I don't even know how much pocket money they bring in every day. Besides, if you can subdue them and make them bring you pocket money every day, that's not impossible."
The two girls were in a dilemma. They wanted to go back and discuss how to get hold of Yu Zihan. They looked at each other and then turned and left. The reason they stopped pestering Li Qianqian was that they knew about Li Qianqian's family situation and could not get more money from her. After Li Qianqian told the two girls about Yu Zihan, she felt very happy. She felt that she had finally taken revenge on Yu Zihan, the annoying person.
Her heart was filled with pride and satisfaction. She had told the two girls Yu Zihan's secret just to get them to subdue her and let her experience the feeling of being bullied. The thought of Yu Zihan and Pei Shuyan being unhappy filled her heart with joy, and her steps became lighter. She felt that she had done something truly remarkable, having punished Yu Zihan while also letting out a gust of anger.
After evening study that day, Yu Zihan and Pei Shuyan left the school gates. The night, like a heavy silk curtain, gently covered the entire city. Twinkling lights pierced the night sky, barely illuminating the road ahead. Yu Zihan and Pei Shuyan walked side by side through the bustling streets, the hustle and bustle echoing in their ears. Their steps were brisk, their smiles bright, as if they had forgotten the troubles of the world. However, as they reached a small alleyway they had to pass through, Yu Zihan suddenly sensed a strange atmosphere.
She stopped and looked around warily. The alley in the darkness was exceptionally quiet, with only the faint glow of a distant light. Yu Zihan carefully identified her surroundings, and her ears caught some unusual footsteps. She turned her head and looked at Pei Shuyan, and found that she also had a hint of uneasiness on her face.
Yu Zihan whispered, "Shuyan, I feel like someone's following us." Pei Shuyan nervously grabbed Yu Zihan's arm, her voice trembling slightly. "Sister, I feel it too. What should we do?" Yu Zihan took a deep breath, calming herself. She comforted her sister, "Don't be afraid, Shuyan. I'll protect you." Yu Zihan held Pei Shuyan's hand tightly, giving her some strength.
She carefully observed the situation around her and found that there were quite a few people coming, more than a dozen. Their figures were looming in the darkness, as if they were waiting for something. Yu Zihan felt a chill in her heart, and she knew she had to come up with a solution quickly.
She took Pei Shuyan into a nearby corner. Yu Zihan whispered, "Shuyan, no matter what happens, you must stay close behind me. Understand?" Pei Shuyan nodded, her eyes firm and courageous. Just then, a man suddenly appeared before them. He was tall, wearing a black jacket, with a ferocious grin on his face. He looked at Yu Zihan and Pei Shuyan, his eyes gleaming with greed.
Initially, they had intended to rob the two girls of some money, but after following them for a few days, their striking beauty aroused his more sinister intentions. He would be happy if he could capture these two girls, even if he could get more money than he had already. To ensure immediate success, they held back and waited until their evening study session.
"You two little girls, I've been following you for many days, and today you finally fell into my hands. Hand over the money you have on you, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!" Yu Zihan tightly protected Pei Shuyan, her voice firm and powerful: "What do you want to do? You are breaking the law, do you know? Now is a period of severe crackdown. Once you are caught, you are finished."
The man chuckled and took out a sharp knife. "My little beauty, you know quite a lot, but I, your grandfather, am fearless and only care about enjoying life while it lasts. So you'd better be obedient, and that way you won't suffer, okay?"
Yu Zihan's heart tightened. She could tell these people were desperate criminals, and she had to act quickly. She looked around and saw no other way out. Suddenly, she saw a trash can nearby. With an idea, she quickly kicked the trash can to the ground. The trash can made a dull sound, attracting the man's attention.
Yu Zihan took the opportunity to grab Pei Shuyan's hand and quickly crossed the alley. Their hearts were beating fast and their breathing was rapid. Yu Zihan glanced back and found that the man had caught up with them. Her heart sank, and she knew she had to find a safe place to hide her sister as soon as possible. She knew that the man had many people behind him, and if her sister got into trouble, she would regret it for the rest of her life.
