Chapter 8: Playing Trouble
When Wen Eryu woke up, she found herself in a simple lounge, which should be the staff lounge of the amusement park. At this time, Lin Cheng was sitting beside the bed looking at her.
"You're awake." Lin Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Shen Jize, who had been guarding the door, heard the sound, opened the door and walked in.
He placed the cooling patch he had just bought on the table and said, "There are still some left. It's very hot today, so be careful to avoid heatstroke."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Wen Eryu was lying on the bed and saw that there was a large wet spot on his back, and beads of sweat from his neck kept seeping into his clothes.
After everyone left, Wen Eryu touched his forehead and found that a cooling patch had been applied to it.
She asked Lin Cheng: "What happened to me just now?"
Lin Cheng turned up the air conditioner and said, "I was scared to death just now. You don't know how anxious Chen Jize was. He carried you across most of the park. Later, he found the staff and found out that you had heatstroke."
Wen Eryu tore off the cooling patch and put a new one on. A cool breeze came from above her head. Under the effect of the cooling patch, she felt most of the heat dissipated instantly.
"Him? Shen Ji Ze?"
Lin Cheng nodded: "I saw An Xinqing's face turn green from behind."
She couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Does Chen Jize like you?" Lin Cheng joked, "I think he's quite worried about you."
"Chengcheng!" Wen Eryu retorted hastily, "Don't talk nonsense. Didn't you see that he came to the amusement park with An Xinqing?"
"I saw it." Lin Cheng spread his hands, "But that doesn't mean anything. What if Chen Jize was threatened by her?"
Wen Eryu: “…”
"I heard that the person Shen Jize likes is not An Xinqing, so who do you think it is? It's so hard to guess."
Lin Cheng smiled, narrowed her eyes, and slowly approached Wen Eryu.
"How would I know?" Wen Eryu suddenly sat up from the bed. She got out of bed and poured herself a glass of cold water.
But she was too guilty and choked several times while drinking.
Lin Cheng saw through it but didn't say anything: "How do you feel now?"
After Wen Eryu calmed down, he said, "Much better."
Then she took out her cell phone and checked the time. It was already one o'clock in the afternoon.
Lin Cheng stood up and said, "Should we continue playing or go back?"
Wen Eryu shook his head: "Of course we should continue playing. You got this ticket with great difficulty, so you can't waste it just because of me. I see there are fewer people queuing outside now, so let's go."
Lin Cheng: "Are you really okay?"
"Oh, I'm fine now. Don't underestimate me." Wen Eryu pulled Lin Cheng outside and said, "Please take a picture of me later."
Lin Cheng smiled and said, "As you wish, Miss."

A week after returning from the amusement park, Wen Eryu always felt something was strange.
For example, although she hadn't seen Shen Jize, she always felt like he was by her side.
But before she could think any further, the bell for class rang.
This was Yao Weimin's Chinese class. Three minutes later he walked in from the front door with the textbook.
Yao Weimin took a sip of tea, then looked around and said, "Today we have a new member joining our class. There's still a year and a half until the college entrance exams. I hope everyone will get along well. So, please invite this new student to come in and give a brief self-introduction."
Zhou Yi walked into the classroom slowly. He was not wearing a school uniform, but he had dyed his previously dyed blue hair back to black. Despite this, his eyes were still full of disdain.
"My name is Zhou Yi. You can come and hang out with me during your holidays."
His nonchalant look instantly made everyone in the class laugh, except Wen Eryu.
She never imagined that in this life, she would be a classmate with someone like Zhou Yi.
Wen Eryu looked at the person on the podium with a pale face, and his inner disgust and shock were beyond words.
At this time, Zhou Yi also saw Wen Eryu sitting in the back. The corners of his mouth curled up, and it was unknown what he was thinking about.
"Okay, okay, stop laughing." Seeing this, Yao Weimin knocked on the podium. "Zhou Yi, go find an empty seat downstairs. Come to my office this afternoon to pick up your school uniform and textbooks."
Zhou Yi nodded and walked straight towards Wen Eryu. When passing by Wen Eryu, he deliberately slowed down his pace and took a black pen from her desk.
Wen Eryu made a "tsk" sound and frowned, saying in a low voice: "Give it back to me."
Zhou Yi pretended not to hear and sat down behind Wen Eryu.
He said confidently: "We are a family, what's wrong with using your pen?"
Wen Eryu tilted her head slightly and gritted her teeth: "Don't force me to slap you."
Zhou Yi burst out laughing, but his eyes were cold: "The last incident is not over yet, just wait."
Wen Eryu: “…”
Yao Weimin, who was sitting on the podium, noticed the commotion below, looked over, and coughed lightly. He knew Zhou Yi got in through connections, so even if Zhou Yi did something out of the ordinary, he could only turn a blind eye.
"We are starting class now, please keep quiet."
But Zhou Yi didn't take Yao Weimin's words to heart at all. He was shaking his legs and turning the black pen he had just passed from Wen Eryu.

During break.
When Wen Eryu and Lin Cheng came back from the water room, they found the seats in chaos, especially Wen Eryu's seat.
At this time, the culprit Zhou Yi was sitting on a chair with his arms folded across his chest, looking at the two of them with a teasing look.
How could Lin Cheng, with her bad temper, tolerate all this? No one in this class dared to mess with her. Zhou Yi had hit a wall now.
Lin Cheng put the water cup in Wen Eryu's hand, then stepped forward and kicked Zhou Yi's table to the ground.
There was a clang, drawing everyone's attention in the class.
"Oh my god, what happened? Who offended Miss Lin Cheng again?" asked the confused onlookers.
"I don't know. I heard that Zhou Yi messed up their things."
"Really? I think this new guy is quite handsome. He shouldn't do that. I heard his family is quite wealthy. He was able to get into No. 4 Middle School as a sophomore in high school. His father must be quite influential."
"Yeah, yeah, look at the watch on his hand. As far as I know, a second-hand one would cost over a million."
Everyone was talking at once, and the class was instantly in an uproar.
All these words fell into Wen Eryu's ears.
She rolled her eyes. Zhou Yi and Xu Wenrou were like two blood-sucking leeches, pestering the Wen family. She didn't know what tricks Xu Wenrou had used, but now Wen Liang simply wouldn't listen to her.
However, the idea of revenge soon formed in Wen Eryu's mind.
While Lin Cheng and Zhou Yi were still arguing, she gathered her emotions, then with tears in her eyes and her mouth drooping, she walked to Zhou Yi and tugged at the corner of his clothes.
"Brother, I don't know what I did wrong that you have to bully me like this." Wen Eryu's tearful look stunned Zhou Yi for a moment.
He really didn't expect Wen Eryu's attitude to change so quickly.
"What did you call me just now?" Zhou Yi stood up and looked down at Wen Eryu.
"Brother." Wen Eryu said, "Oh, no, your mom and dad haven't registered their marriage yet. It seems I'm too early to call you 'brother'."
Zhou Yi: “…”
After hearing this, the classmates turned to Wen Eryu and spoke up for her.
"So they know each other. From what Wen Eryu said, it seems Zhou Yi's family is the one who paid for it."
"That's what I was saying. His clothes don't match his inner temperament."
"Wen Eryu's family seems to be quite wealthy. The last time I saw her coming to school, she was driving a Bentley. Didn't you see that all the stationery she uses is imported from abroad? That mechanical pencil alone costs hundreds of dollars."
The more Zhou Yi listened, the angrier he became. He had originally planned to come to school to show off, but he had no idea that Wen Eryu would ruin his plan and slap him in the face with just a few words.
"What the hell are you talking about!" Zhou Yi pointed at Wen Eryu angrily.
When Lin Cheng saw her best friend being yelled at, she immediately pulled her behind her and pointed back, "Why don't you yell at her again?"
"Who are you? Get out of here and don't meddle in other people's business," Zhou Yi said.
Wen Eryu poked Lin Cheng's back, gave her a quiet look, and then said aggrievedly, "I know you want to take revenge on me for not giving you that room, but that was the room my dad personally decorated for me."
Speaking of the room, it was three days ago when Wen Eryu just returned home and saw Xu Wenrou ordering her aunt to move things in her room.
The bedroom where Wen Eryu lives is the best located in the entire villa. Zhou Yi took a fancy to it when he first arrived, so he begged Xu Wenrou to exchange rooms with Wen Eryu.
Xu Wenrou loves her precious son the most. She will get whatever he wants. Besides, it’s just one room, which is not a problem for her.
She had originally planned to clear out Wen Eryu's room before she finished school and then discuss changing rooms with her, but Xu Wenrou didn't expect Wen Eryu to come back early that day.
Wen Eryu put down her schoolbag and ran over to question Xu Wenrou.
"Why are you moving my things? Move them back to me."
Xu Wenrou guiltily lifted her hair, a pungent scent of floral and fruity perfume spread in the air, and her voice was sharp and piercing.
"Eryu, your brother really likes your room. Why don't you exchange it with him? A little girl doesn't need to live in such a big room."
Wen Er was so angry that he almost cursed: "Get lost."
"Hey, why are you so hot-tempered, kid? Can you talk to your elders properly?"
"You?" Wen Eryu laughed angrily. "You're already old and still pretending to be young. You took things from someone else's room without permission and you're trying to blackmail me. I'm telling you, that's impossible."
After saying that, she moved all the things at the door back. Fortunately, she came back early today and didn't move much things out. After finishing, Wen Eryu slammed the door shut and locked it.
In the evening, the matter was brought to the attention of Wen Liang. Xu Wenrou originally thought that even if she was in the wrong, Wen Liang would not do anything to her.
But she still overestimated her position in Wen Liang's heart.
At the dinner table, Wen Liang scolded Xu Wenrou severely and warned her that if she made trouble again, he would ask her to take Zhou Yi and get out.
Therefore, Zhou Yi held a grudge against Wen Eryu and tried every means to bully her.
I didn't expect that she would bring up this matter now. Seeing that everyone around him was standing on Wen Eryu's side to speak for her, Zhou Yi was a little panicked.
He quickly denied it, "What room? Can you please stop spitting blood at me?"
Seeing that he didn't admit it, Wen Eryu said, "If you really like that room, I'll let you give it to me."
After saying this, she wiped away her tears silently.
Zhou Yi was so angry that he laughed. He had witnessed how powerful Wen Eryu was today. Continuing to argue like this would only make things worse for him.
Fortunately, the class bell rang at this time.
Zhou Yi gritted his teeth and picked up the desk that Lin Cheng had just kicked away.
The students who were still watching the fun also returned to their seats.
During class, he looked at Wen Eryu's back and clenched his fists. Suddenly, he leaned back and curled the corners of his mouth.
She seems... quite interesting.
