The shadow of an "IF skin-thirsty puppy" crouching under the bushes.
The next few days were uneventful.
The prying gazes and the following stares seemed to have disappeared, and even the dark figure I glimpsed unexpectedly after school that day seemed like an illusion.
Maybe it's just a trash can on the street?
Shi Miao hesitated for a moment, then exited the chat interface with Shi Dai.
After all, ever since that accident a few years ago, Shi Dai's concern for her safety had reached an almost obsessive level.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have hired six bodyguards to take turns, and even in a school where it should be safe, she would have someone follow her.
If she sends a message right now.
My mother will definitely abandon the cooperation that she has been negotiating for more than half a year and return to China without stopping.
This transnational collaboration represents the culmination of the hard work and time invested by countless individuals, and it is of paramount importance to the group's future expansion into overseas markets.
Anyway, the next two days are the weekend.
Shi Miao didn't plan to go out and stayed at home quietly. In a few more days, she would be able to wait for her mother to come home.
That's how it is.
But plans can never keep up with changes.
After receiving Fu Ying's call, Shi Miao hurriedly went downstairs, called her driver and bodyguard, and headed to the shopping mall in the city center.
When they located her, Fu Ying was holding onto the arms of a man and a woman, one in each hand.
The pointed tips of the manicured nails, studded with tiny diamonds, dug into their flesh, causing them to grimace in pain.
I want to break free completely.
Fu Ying had studied ballet for many years, and without blinking, she kicked out with a seemingly elegant and light movement, but the force was so great that it felt like she was hitting an iron bar head-on.
Struggle for a moment and then kick.
He tried to dodge to the side, but he couldn't escape Fu Ying's incredible flexibility.
"Xiao Ying," Shi Miao called out.
A bodyguard stepped forward and took over the task of controlling the two men.
Fu Ying then shook her hands, stretched her body a few times, and stood in front of the man, carefully examining him for a few seconds to assess the best angle to attack.
Immediately afterwards, she swung her arm and slapped him hard across the face.
The man was knocked to the side by the blow, staring in disbelief. He turned back and roared, "Fu Ying, you!"
Before she could finish speaking, Fu Ying slapped her again with her left hand.
"You're just average-looking but you've got pretty high and mighty ideas. You want to seduce me and also want the girl next door. Have you been reading too many harem novels and really think you're the protagonist who can do whatever you want and every woman you meet will fall in love with you?"
Fu Ying, full of vigor, slapped the man repeatedly with both hands while sneering and mocking him.
"If you don't wash your face when you get up in the morning, you should at least take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror. Forget it, looking at your oily face and lots of eye discharge, your urine must be very yellow, and you can't see your own weight."
"You call yourself a student from a prestigious university? I've recorded all the evidence, and I'll send it to your school's email in a bit so everyone can witness your true colors as a scumbag. You think I'm easy to talk to if I don't punish you?"
The man was stunned by the powerful slaps Fu Ying delivered.
The burning pain on my face was secondary.
The main emotions he felt were a mixture of anger and embarrassment at having his thoughts exposed, embarrassment and resentment at being slapped by passersby, and nervousness at being told to notify the school. These emotions led him to open his mouth and try to threaten.
The swelling in his cheeks affected his speech, making his words sound unclear.
"Fu Ying, don't go too far. You've at least talked for a few days..."
Fu Ying: "Oh yeah, you know it's only for a few days. If I don't make you pay, I'm not a Fu!"
She was too lazy to continue arguing with the man. After she had her fill of it, she turned her wrist, glanced at the girl with shifty eyes who was trying to play dumb, and gave a disdainful sneer.
Turning around, with a sudden change of expression, the pupa entered Shi Miao's embrace.
While rubbing against her, she pretended to cry, "Miaomiao, thank goodness you came, otherwise I would have been all alone, what would I have done facing two such arrogant people—"
The man and woman who were pinned to death: "???"
I'm so angry I feel like I'm going to vomit blood.
Who's being arrogant here?
Knowing her friend's dramatic nature, Shi Miao patted her on the back, signaling the bodyguard to pull her away while softly comforting her, "It's okay, I'm here now."
Since we're already here...
We simply found a restaurant in the mall to eat at.
Fu Ying started complaining about her new boyfriend—oh, now he's her ex-boyfriend with a criminal record—she had so much to say about him.
After dinner, I dragged Shi Miao to play the claw machine.
By the time we had finished having fun and were ready to leave, several hours had already passed.
The sky was dark and overcast, clearly indicating that a heavy rain was imminent.
As the Rolls-Royce drove out of the parking lot, Fu Ying leaned against the front seat and told the driver with a smile that it would be fine to take her to the same address as last time.
The car window was half open.
The loud voices of someone speaking could be heard coming from a passing security booth.
"...I don't know where this stray dog came from, it wasn't on a leash and tried to run inside, so of course I chased it out."
"We called the law enforcement team to come and take the dog away..."
The vehicle gradually drove away, leaving the chatter of those around it far behind.
After dropping Fu Ying off at the villa, she shouted "Wait, don't go!" and ran home. She then stomped out beautifully packaged fruits and snacks and stuffed them all into the trunk of her car.
Fu Ying: "These are all your favorite foods! Miao Miao, thank you for coming out to keep me company today~"
Shi Miao leaned against the car window, her eyes crinkling with a smile. "It's only right."
After a short delay, we finally set off for home.
Halfway there, the raindrops that had been brewing for most of the day finally began to fall, pattering against the car body and leaving shimmering streaks on the windows.
Tonight is going to be a rainy night.
When Shi Miao arrived home, the nanny had already prepared hot water in the bathtub and heated pajamas.
She took a relaxing bath, ate some fruit, changed her clothes, and then went to the movie theater on the first floor to watch a newly released film.
The soundproofing in the theater was excellent; Shi Miao didn't hear the rumbling thunder until she came out.
It's been a long time since it rained this heavily.
On a whim, Shi Miao walked to the French windows in the living room in her slippers, wanting to see the garden. However, the reflection in the glass blocked most of her view, and she could only vaguely see a few garden lights with small glowing orbs.
"Xiao Tong, turn off all the lights in the living room."
The smart home system responded gently: "Okay, turning off the living room lights for you."
The soft, bright indoor lighting gradually went out.
at the same time.
Outside, the dark sky still echoed with the rumble of thunder, then a flash of lightning streaked across the sky, its fleeting silvery-white light leaving a lingering image on the retina.
Shi Miao suddenly took a step back, her eyes wide, staring at a clump of bushes in the garden.
The lightning flashed brightly for a moment.
The light revealed a dark shadow crawling under the bushes.
And... the faint blood seeping from beneath him, diluted by rainwater and seeping onto the pristine white cobblestone path.
