Chapter 79 She's Going to Run Away with Someone Else
Ten minutes into class, Su Hengyi still hadn't seen Shi Nianzhi return. He glanced back at the last row but didn't see Mu Guangcheng either.
He stood up.
The Chinese teacher looked at the top student in the grade with a kind and gentle voice, "What's wrong, Hengyi?"
Su Hengyi parted his thin lips slightly, "I'm going to the restroom."
The Chinese teacher nodded, "Go ahead."
Su Heng stuffed the tissues and phone from the drawer into his pocket, and his tall figure quickly walked past the classroom door and the corridor window, disappearing from sight.
Mu Guangcheng's legs went numb from squatting in the toilet. He couldn't help but grit his teeth, thinking that Shi Nianzhi was such a fool and completely unreliable.
He left in a hurry and didn't take his phone with him; if he squats down any longer, it will dry out in the wind.
Just as he was getting anxious, a pack of tissues fell from the sky.
Mu Guangcheng picked it up and immediately drew a card, "Why did it take you so long to get here?"
There was no sound outside.
He flushed the toilet, opened the door, and found it empty.
"hiss----"
Mu Guangcheng rubbed his numb legs, leaned against the sink for a while to recover, and his expression gradually changed from pain to calm.
Then he reached out and washed his hands in front of the sink.
Looking up, she saw Su Hengyi standing in the corridor in the mirror, his gaze seemingly fixed on the mirror.
No, Su Hengyi was looking at himself in the mirror.
Did he see the look on his face when his leg went numb?
Mu Guangcheng frowned, somewhat displeased.
He was angry and turned to walk towards Su Hengyi. He approached him, his gaze filled with fierceness.
Su Hengyi looked at Mu Guangcheng indifferently. He neither dodged nor spoke.
Mu Guangcheng said coldly, "You really are a persistent ghost, Su Hengyi. You say you don't like me, yet you're always bothering me. You still say you don't like me?"
Su Hengyi's gaze grew increasingly cold, and he remained silent.
Mu Guangcheng pressed Su Hengyi's shoulders, pinning him against the corridor wall, his hand resting on Su Hengyi's ear.
Because of the sudden push, Su Hengyi leaned against the wall, instantly becoming shorter.
Mu Guangcheng looked down at the person in front of him with a clean and indifferent demeanor. He tilted his head slightly and chuckled, "Since when did you start liking me? You like me and yet you hit me, huh?"
Su Heng kept staring at Mu Guangcheng, something seemed to be gathering deep in his eyes, "Mu Guangcheng."
He called his name, just like that night when the power went out in the hallway, his voice filled with tenderness and longing.
Mu Guangcheng sneered. He braced himself against the wall and used the force to take a step back, putting distance between himself and Su Hengyi.
He sneered, "Su Hengyi, no matter how hard you try, I could never like you."
Su Hengyi's fingers slowly tightened. "You really like Wu Yi?"
"I want to be with her for life, what do you think?"
As soon as Mu Guangcheng finished speaking, Su Heng turned around and walked past him, as if he had no regrets whatsoever.
He said, "I understand."
Shi Nianzhi returned when get out of class ended. He went into the classroom and saw that Mu Guangcheng had already returned.
Shi Nianzhi ran to Mu Guangcheng's seat and said, "Boss."
Mu Guangcheng snorted coldly and turned his back to Shi Nianzhi to look at his phone.
Shi Nianzhi then said, "It's really not my fault. I had Lao Wang call him. Yes, Lao Wang also told me to tell you not to attend the last class and to go find him."
Both the suspected last place in the grade and the actual last place in the grade are destined to be called in for a heart-to-heart talk.
Mu Guangcheng immediately turned his head, "Old Wang is looking for me?"
"Um."
What did he talk to you about?
"Family, life, and finally, learning."
Mu Guangcheng scratched his hair in frustration. "I knew it. He's so nagging. It's so annoying. I'm going to sneak away after school. If he asks you, just say I have diarrhea."
Shi Nianzhi said seriously, "Old Wang said that if you make an excuse not to go, he will wait for you at your door."
Mu Guangcheng: "..."
The last class ended.
Old Wang started talking non-stop and showed no sign of stopping.
Have you thought about the future?
Mu Guangcheng rubbed his stomach. "Brother Wang, how about we talk about it this afternoon? You know our school cafeteria; if we go too late, we'll only be able to eat instant noodles at the convenience store."
"You didn't listen to what I said."
"I listened carefully. I will study hard and be diligent in the future. I promise to reduce the amount of your bonus deducted!"
"I don't care about these bonuses. I've mentored you for over two years, witnessed your growth, and truly treated you like my own children. What I'm saying to you today comes from the bottom of my heart..."
Old Wang gave Mu Guangcheng another long lecture, and only when it was almost one o'clock did he let Mu Guangcheng leave.
Shi Nianzhi came to school from the hospital today, so she didn't bring a lunchbox. Mu Guangcheng knew this. At this time, there was nothing left in the cafeteria, so she could only eat instant noodles at the convenience store.
As Mu Guangcheng descended the stairs, he was torn between eating pickled cabbage or chicken stew with mushrooms.
He stopped walking.
"I'm going to break up with Mu Guangcheng right now!"
It was Wu Yi's voice, which sounded full of terror.
You know that's not what I meant!
Su Hengyi's icy voice echoed in the corridor, making people's hearts pound.
Mu Guangcheng clenched his fist in anger. Su Hengyi actually did something like threatening Wu Yi behind her back. He must be crazy!
Just as Mu Guangcheng was about to rush down, Wu Yi spoke again, "But I don't like Mu Guangcheng! I'm only with him to spite Wang Sui."
Mu Guangcheng suddenly stopped in his tracks. He almost fell because of his panic, but luckily he managed to grab the stair railing.
Soon, before Su Hengyi noticed him, Mu Guangcheng took another step back.
He hid at the top of the stairs, leaning against the wall with his head slightly lowered, the color in his eyes difficult to discern for a moment.
"Did you consider his feelings when you did this?"
Su Heng pressed Wu Yi's head against the stair railing, his knuckles digging into her, his eyes filled with malice.
Wu Yi was terrified of Su Hengyi's behavior. "You beat Wang Sui so badly he's still in the hospital. What's next? Are you going to beat me too?"
Su Heng smiled coldly, "You know I care about Mu Guangcheng, I won't touch you."
"Then let me go."
"impossible."
What exactly do you want?
"I broke off all ties with Wang Sui and devoted myself entirely to him."
"I can't do it."
Su Hengyi lowered his head slightly, his expression extremely cold and ruthless, "He likes you so much, and you can't do it?"
“I don’t know how much Mu Guangcheng likes me, but Su Hengyi, you’re crazy about Mu Guangcheng! If you like him so much, why are you forcing me to be with him? Wouldn’t it be better for me to break up with him and let you have him? Su Hengyi, you’re really terrifying, I’m really scared of you.”
Wu Yi was also spoiled growing up. Her parents never said a harsh word to her from childhood to adulthood, and her boyfriend always doted on her.
Today, Su Heng cornered her in the stairwell and gave her a good scolding. She felt extremely wronged, and tears welled up in her eyes and fell down her cheeks.
"Enough!"
Mu Guangcheng rushed down the stairs and shoved Su Hengyi aside.
Wu Yi wiped away her tears and shouted at Mu Guangcheng, "Mu Guangcheng, I'm breaking up with you today. Don't ever come looking for me again! Let's cut ties cleanly. I've really had enough. Su Hengyi likes you so much, he even hit me, a girl, for you. It's so unfair of you not to be with him!"
After swearing, Wu Yi ran upstairs, crying as she ran.
Mu Guangcheng looked at Su Hengyi, "Do you have any explanation?"
Su Heng remained silent for a moment, then said, "I'm sorry."
Mu Guangcheng suddenly became fierce, "Apologize to what the hell?"
"I'll make you break up with him."
"......"
After a long silence, Mu Guangcheng grabbed Su Hengyi by the collar, seemingly furious, and said, "You're really something."
Mu Guangcheng shoved Su Heng against the wall with all his might, then turned and left.
Su Heng leaned against the wall, his head slightly bowed.
Gu Yuanyuan, who had been eavesdropping, slowly peeked out and then walked up the stairs to Su Hengyi.
"You've done so much for Mu Guangcheng, but he doesn't appreciate it at all. What do you like about that scoundrel Mu Guangcheng? He has no redeeming qualities, and his family is dirt poor. He likes women now, but he might break up with you for a woman later. With a poor family like his, isn't it common for his parents to disapprove of him coming out? His feelings are indecisive, and he's not good enough for you at all."
Gu Yuanyuan walked closer to Su Hengyi and reached out to squeeze Su Hengyi's hand. "Why don't you try it with me? We are both outstanding people and have no family pressure. We are a perfect match."
Su Hengyi placed his hand in Gu Yuanyuan's palm, and just as Gu Yuanyuan was about to grip it tightly, Su Hengyi pulled his hand away.
Gu Yuanyuan missed his chance, but wasn't angry. He looked up and met Su Heng's gaze. "How do you know you don't like me if you don't try? Look at my face, do you think I won't make your heart flutter?"
When Shi Nian went upstairs, he saw this scene: Gu Yuanyuan and Su Hengyi were standing a little too close together.
He was stunned, "You...!"
Su Heng pushed Gu Yuanyuan away and went upstairs without saying a word.
Gu Yuanyuan gritted her teeth, "You country bumpkin, who gave you permission to show up!"
Shi Nianzhi stepped back, then turned and ran away.
"stop!"
Gu Yuanyuan wanted to chase after him, but his wound hurt and he couldn't walk fast. He could only watch helplessly as Shi Nianzhi ran away.
Shi Nianzhi ran back to the classroom still feeling shaken, and patted his chest.
The empty classroom was occupied only by Mu Guangcheng; Su Hengyi was nowhere to be seen.
Shi Nianzhi walked towards Mu Guangcheng, hesitating to speak, "Boss..."
The eldest brother is going to run off with someone else...
Shi Nianzhi thought about it for a moment, but still didn't say anything.
Instead, Mu Guangcheng suddenly spoke up, "I'm heartbroken. I called some people tonight, let's go sing karaoke."
Heartbroken?
Shi Nianzhi's mind raced. "You broke up with Wu Yi? Why are you only breaking up now? Even the top star is about to run off with Gu Yuanyuan."
