"..."
Zhu Jinzhao took a few steps back with a look of disgust on her face, making sure Lu Yuzhou didn't touch her.
Lu Yuzhou paused, a moment of confusion appearing in his eyes.
"What are you doing today? Don't you want to hug me?"
"I'll hug your dad." After enduring the disgust of licking for so many days, Zhu Jinzhao was finally free and couldn't help but curse.
"...What did you say?" Lu Yuzhou had never heard Zhu Jinzhao curse before, and this sudden exception left him momentarily speechless.
Zhu Jinzhao took a deep breath, her eyes suddenly becoming very firm: "I said, I hugged your dad, your uncle, and your sixth uncle's floral cotton pants! You seamlessly transitioned into a man who cheated on his wife emotionally, I feel disgusted just looking at you! How dare you have the nerve to unilaterally announce your breakup with me and then come to me for comfort by cuddling and hugging?"
"You..." Lu Yuzhou was a little stunned by the scolding. He awkwardly withdrew his hands and stared incredulously at the love-struck fool in front of him who had been licking his boots for so long.
"Chaochao, why are you suddenly saying this to me? Didn't you say you knew you were wrong, that you would correct your mistakes and wait for me to come back and consider you? I've specially come back to give you this chance, so why have you changed your mind again?"
"I was wrong? I'll correct myself? I need you to give me a chance?" Zhu Jinzhao was so angry she laughed. "Lu Yuzhou, you're the one who's fickle, you're the one who's emotionally unfaithful, and you're the one who's a freeloader!"
Where did I go wrong?
“I…” How could Lu Yuzhou possibly say that? He guiltily avoided Zhu Jinzhao’s gaze, not daring to look her in the eye.
Zhu Jinzhao pursed her lips, trying her best to put on a fierce expression and stared at him: "My only mistake was not recognizing you sooner, and not being able to slap your face hard a few times!"
“Zhao Zhao…” Lu Yuzhou was hit where it hurt, and the confidence he had always had when facing Zhu Jinzhao instantly vanished.
"Chao Chao, have you misunderstood something?" He grinned awkwardly, trying to awaken Zhu Jinchao's romantic mind. "Didn't you tell me yesterday that you would always wait for me and always love me? How come you're having these thoughts now?"
"Don't rush to anger. Tell me slowly what the misunderstanding is, and I'll explain it all."
As he spoke, he tentatively took two steps forward and reached out a hand to grab Jinzhao's arm.
"Get away!" Zhu Jinzhao found him disgusting and immediately moved away.
"Chao Chao." He frowned, his eyes suddenly becoming somewhat aggrieved. "Chao Chao, what's wrong with you? You were fine yesterday, how did you suddenly become like this?"
"What do you mean, 'I'm good to you'?" Zhu Jinzhao's words were rough and her reasoning was also rough. "Let me tell you the truth, Lu Yuzhou, all my previous sycophantic behavior was an act. I actually have no feelings for you anymore."
"...Is that an act?" Lu Yuzhou was somewhat taken aback. "Why?"
Zhu Jinzhao: "I'm doing this to get you. Don't you like emotional infidelity? Don't you like me at karaoke? Fine, I'll satisfy you."
"I groveled before you while badmouthing you to Zhu Mingyue. I tried to make you cheat on me, but instead, I lost my next suitor."
"How was it? Was it good?"
“You…” Although Lu Yuzhou was wicked, he wasn’t stupid. Zhu Jinzhao had already fully understood the scheme behind it when she said this.
"You did this on purpose!" His eyes widened, both shocked and furious. "You deliberately acted like a simp, fawning over me, while secretly encouraging Zhu Mingyue to reject my confession. You just wanted to make me lose both my money and my love!"
Zhu Jinzhao nodded with a wicked grin: "Yes, I want you to lose everything, you'll get nothing. A man like you, more disgusting than shit, deserves this kind of revenge!"
"And you even put up a heart-shaped lantern to express your love... What can you possibly express? Why didn't the scorn of the onlookers drown you?"
"Wishing you a happy new day!!!" Lu Yuzhou was furious. His hands clenched into fists, and his teeth were clenched so tightly they made a "crackling" sound.
"You fucking—"
"Don't rush to scold me!"
Zhu Jinzhao raised her hand to temporarily silence his cursing, then took out her phone and showed him the bill she had prepared beforehand: "Pay back the money first."
"...What money do you mean, 'repay'?" Lu Yuzhou was still a little confused.
Zhu Jinzhao: "What money are you talking about? I've only been sucking up to you for a month and you've already drunk 32 cups of my coffee, eaten 17 meals of my barbecue, asked me for two pairs of headphones and a cell phone, and gone to karaoke eight times! Do you think I'm an idiot to be ripped off?!"
"..."
There were quite a few students around, and although Zhu Jinzhao's voice wasn't loud, his content was explosive. Many students passing by unconsciously slowed down, intending to watch the drama unfold.
Lu Yuzhou stood there like a wooden statue, feeling utterly ashamed.
"These things were all bought for me voluntarily, why should I pay you back?"
Zhu Jinzhao: "I didn't do it voluntarily. You got all these things by begging, I never gave them to you voluntarily."
"Stop talking nonsense and pay me back right now."
Lu Yuzhou snorted coldly: "No. You paid for the coffee and barbecue, and you bought the headphones and phone yourself. Why should I pay you back?"
“…Okay.” Zhu Jinzhao had expected him to do this. She didn’t waste any more words with him and opened WeChat in front of him to call Zhu Xingye.
“If you don’t pay me back, I’ll tell my older brother and he’ll deal with you.”
“Go ahead and sue me.” Lu Yuzhou wasn’t afraid at all. “You fake heiress, the Zhu family probably won’t even bother with you.”
"Really? What if I, the real heiress, were to sue?"
Zhu Mingyue suddenly appeared, standing beside Zhu Jinzhao with a big smile.
"Hey? What brings you here?" Zhu Jinzhao asked, somewhat surprised. "Are you here to pick up your schoolbag?"
"..." Zhu Mingyue curled her lips speechlessly, "I'm here to ask you, you idiot, for money."
Zhu Jinzhao: "No need, I'll call my older brother right away and complain. He'll deal with him."
"..." Zhu Mingyue snatched her phone away, glared at her with a headache, "Big brother is busy, why bother him with such a small thing... I'll get it myself."
"Lu Yuzhou, pay me back! If you don't, I'll call my older brother and tell on you! I'll make sure you can't stay at Imperial University!"
Zhu Jinzhao: "..."
I'm a little speechless, but I don't dare to say anything.
"I don't have that much money right now." With the real heiress stepping in, Lu Yuzhou no longer dared to arrogantly say he wouldn't pay it back.
"Oh?" Zhu Mingyue took out her phone and casually opened the dial pad. "Are you sure you don't have any money? If you are, I'll ask my older brother to think of a way for you."
"No!" Lu Yuzhou shouted, unsurprisingly frightened.
"I'll give you the money, I'll borrow it right now to pay you back!"
Zhu Mingyue opened Zhu Jinzhao's payment QR code and shoved it in front of Lu Yuzhou.
Lu Yuzhou, with a dark expression, dawdled for several minutes before finally returning the money to Zhu Jinzhao.
"Let's go." Zhu Mingyue handed the phone back, turned around, and walked straight away.
"Jiang Jiang!" Zhu Jinzhao called out to Jiang Jingwen, who was lying in ambush, and caught up with Zhu Mingyue by taking her arm.
"I'm rich! I'll treat you all to milk tea!"
Zhu Mingyue: "I don't want milk tea, I want hot pot..."
Zhu Jinchao: "Okay!"
"What are you looking at?" Shi Jing's friend nudged him on the shoulder and asked curiously.
“Sigh…” Shi Jing sighed and turned his gaze away from Zhu Jinzhao. “Looking at a friend with terminal love-induced brain cancer.”
