Chapter 3 I dare not
Lu Jiunian glanced back at him, and he said sorry as he got up and ran away.
She was afraid that if she ran too slowly, Lu Jiunian would dislike her.
Shi Nianzhi changed his clothes quickly. He ran down the stairs and stood panting in front of Lu Jiunian.
Is this outfit okay?
He tugged at his white T-shirt.
Lu Jiunian blew a smoke ring into the air, his narrow, cold eyes sweeping over Shi Nianzhi.
In a very calm voice, she said, "Why not? Do you expect me to take you to a beauty pageant?"
Shi Nianzhi was tongue-tied: "..."
He stood there with his head down, not saying a word.
Lu Jiunian found his expression annoying. "Would I eat people?"
"ah?"
Shi Nianzhi looked up and smiled sweetly when she met Lu Jiunian's gaze. "No, not at all."
The man said in a deep voice, "Come here, let me see the injury on your knee."
Shi Nianzhi sat down in front of Lu Jiunian, who rolled up his trouser leg. "No injury, just a little red."
Lu Jiunian's cool fingers stroked it, and Shi Nianzhi froze.
The man withdrew his hand. "Never mind, you're covered in injuries. I'll have a doctor treat you when we get back."
Shi Nianzhi nodded, her earlobes slightly red, "Okay."
He got up, grabbed Shi Nianzhi's hand, and went out.
The Gu family's villa courtyard.
Gu Yuanyuan and his gang of cronies stood in a row.
Lu Jiunian rolled up his sleeves to his forearms, grabbed Shi Nianzhi's wrist, and dragged Shi Nianzhi in front of the group of people.
A cold voice asked, "You hit him?"
Gu Yuanyuan was furious that Shi Nianzhi, that little bitch, dared to complain.
He said smoothly, "Uncle Lu, what are you talking about? We are all good students. We stopped fighting when we were in elementary school. Do you think games aren't fun or women aren't pretty? Why would we fight?"
Gu Yuanyuan was always good at using her smooth talk to please Lu Jiunian.
"That's right."
"Third Master, we wouldn't dare hit your men."
"Even if we had eight lives, we wouldn't dare."
"......"
A bunch of cronies chimed in, chattering away.
"Quarrel."
Lu Jiunian uttered a single word, and the row of teenagers standing on the grass, still damp from the rain, fell silent.
When the man asked Nianzhi, "Did they hit you?"
Shi Nianzhi pinched the hem of her clothes with her hand, her voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, "Actually, it doesn't hurt."
Did I hit you?
"I hit him."
Upon hearing Shi Nianzhi's words, Gu Yuanyuan became agitated, "You country bumpkin, you need to watch your words! When did we hit you?!"
Shi Nianzhi said seriously, "After school, at the alley entrance, around six o'clock, I made the call."
Gu Yuanyuan stared at him with her big eyes. She thought Shi Nianzhi was usually a coward, but she didn't expect him to be so good at tattling.
Gu Yuanyuan quickly calmed down and explained to Lu Jiunian, "Uncle Lu, didn't the new vocational school move to this area? A lot of students have been beaten up recently. Shi Nianzhi definitely didn't see clearly. Anyway, we weren't the ones who beat him up. I'm not stupid. Do you think I'd be asking you to whip me with a belt if I called for someone to beat him up in front of my house?"
Gu Yuanyuan is eloquent and adaptable; one can tell at a glance that she is the kind of shrewd and worldly person cultivated by a prestigious family.
Shi Nianzhi was tongue-tied, puffed out her cheeks but didn't know what to say, and looked at Lu Jiunian with her bright eyes.
"People from the new vocational school can get into Blue Water Bay, but are they supposed to be dead as security guards in the villa area?"
Lu Jiunian reached out, and his assistant considerately placed a long whip in his palm.
Gu Yuanyuan shuddered and took a step back.
