Chapter 84 Saying One Thing and Meaning Another
When Mu Guangcheng said those words, his heart trembled, because an answer was about to be revealed in his heart.
"Whose bandage looks like this?"
Mu Guangcheng looked at the first row, "Su Hengyi?"
Shi Nianzhi continued to tear open the Kopped packaging and stuck it on Mu Guangcheng's fingers, neither admitting nor denying it.
"alright."
Shi Nianzhi finished his task and returned to his seat.
He turned around as he sat down and looked towards the last row.
Mu Guangcheng was looking down intently at the band-aid on his finger. After a while, he gently touched it with his other, uninjured finger.
The band-aid felt so hot that it made him pull his fingers away.
Shi Nianzhi turned her head back and said, "Brother Yi, I've completed the mission."
"Um."
"Brother Yi, do you know anything about the boss? For example, do you know anything about his parents?"
Su Heng accidentally swiped the match-3 game, and it looked like he couldn't get past this level. He closed the game. "His parents died in a car accident during the summer after he graduated from junior high school."
"ah?"
Shi Nianzhi was slightly surprised, "Is this what the boss told you?"
“He won’t tell me these things.”
"You overheard it by chance?"
Shi Nianzhi's words hit the nail on the head.
Su Heng put his phone in the drawer and remained silent.
Shi Nianzhi felt a little sorry for Yi Ge. How much must he like someone to pay attention to everything about that person, even just a few words?
"Brother, actually..."
"Um."
Su Heng gestured for Shi Nianzhi to continue.
Shi Nianzhi lowered his head and said to himself, "I want to tell you, but I feel I can't tell you anymore. Although you like the boss a lot, the boss doesn't like you. Sometimes knowing less might help you get over it sooner. Brother, I'm not saying the boss is bad. Actually, I really want you two to be together. But if the boss remains indifferent, then all of this will be too cruel for you."
Su Heng reached out and patted Shi Nianzhi's head. "Reason and love are separate."
Everyone knows the道理 (principles/reasoning), and everyone can weigh the pros and cons, but once you get involved in the word "love," you become the one in control, unable to see anything clearly, and unable to escape.
Not content with being stuck in a dead end, they insisted on banging their heads against the wall until they were dead.
School ends at noon.
Gu Yuanyuan hates crowds, especially now that he is injured, he dislikes them even more.
But he still walked against the crowd toward the door of Class 7. Fortunately, the students along the way all knew Gu Yuanyuan and knew that he was a spoiled brat who was not easy to mess with.
Even those in a hurry to get to the cafeteria didn't dare to crowd Gu Yuanyuan; they all consciously stepped aside to make way for her.
The crowd at lunchtime dismissal is just a sudden rush; people are in the corridors, and the classrooms are quite empty.
Gu Yuanyuan stepped into Class 7 and saw Su Hengyi still sitting in his seat. He said happily, "I knew you would wait for me."
Gu Yuanyuan quickly walked up to Su Hengyi.
Just as Shi Nianzhi took out her lunchbox and opened it, Gu Yuanyuan bent down, reached out, and snatched Shi Nianzhi's food away.
"Eating so well? You're really benefiting from my Uncle Lu's hospitality. Don't be so smug, you country bumpkin. Did you not know that my Uncle Lu invited so many well-known brain specialists from home and abroad?"
Give me back my food.
Shi Nianzhi seemed not to have heard at all, or perhaps he heard but ignored it. He stood up and tried to snatch the lunchbox from Gu Yuanyuan's hand.
Gu Yuanyuan sneered, "Fine, here you go."
He held up the lunchbox and slammed it down on Shi Nianzhi's head with a thud, the rice and vegetables falling face down.
Gu Yuanyuan grabbed Su Hengyi's arm and pulled him away, "Move over quickly, don't let him get you dirty."
Shi Nianzhi touched the lunchbox covering his head. He was angry, but considering that he didn't want to get it dirty or cause trouble for Su Hengyi, he turned to the side and took the rice and dishes off.
"Do you know how hard it is to grow every grain of rice? Wasting it is shameful?"
Shi Nianzhi clenched his fist and looked at Gu Yuanyuan, questioning her.
"Those are you poor people..."
Before Gu Yuanyuan could finish speaking, Mu Guangcheng rushed over and kicked her in the waist.
Hearing footsteps behind him, Gu Yuanyuan instinctively leaned forward.
He could have perfectly dodged Mu Guangcheng's kick by standing next to Su Hengyi.
As a result, Su Hengyi, without making a sound, pushed Gu Yuanyuan away by pressing against her leg when she approached.
Gu Yuanyuan was kicked to the ground, yelling, "Damn it!"
Mu Guangcheng looked down at Gu Yuanyuan and said, "I told you before that I would protect Shi Nianzhi. Did you think I was dead?"
Mu Guangcheng reached out, "Bring the soup over."
Shi Nianzhi picked up the soup bowl, then hesitated for a moment, "This is the only soup I have left for lunch."
"Give it to me, the boss will treat you to something delicious later."
Mu Guangcheng snatched the soup from Shi Nianzhi's hand, squatted down in front of Gu Yuanyuan, and was about to splash the soup on Gu Yuanyuan's face.
The soup was definitely still a bit hot. Although it wouldn't burn him, no normal person would like to be splashed like that, let alone Gu Yuanyuan, who was already injured.
He quickly covered his face with his hands, "Mu Guangcheng, how dare you! I'll kill you!"
"I've heard that at least a hundred and eighty times."
Mu Guangcheng grabbed Gu Yuanyuan's arm that was covering her face and said with a sneer, "Killing me isn't something you can just say."
Gu Yuanyuan shook his head left and right, trying to avoid the soup in Mu Guangcheng's hand.
He kept spouting threats, "You try it. Last time someone stopped me, and I would have crippled your leg."
"Who's stopping me?"
"Heh, of course it's your good father who took a mistress and gave you a little brother. Mu Guangcheng, I heard you killed your grandmother, is that true?"
Gu Yuanyuan was not as low-key as Su Hengyi.
He was very famous in the industry, and his family background was so good that too many people wanted to curry favor with him. So when he wanted to find out about someone or their background, there were plenty of people willing to be his eyes and ears.
Seeing the rising anger in Mu Guangcheng's eyes, Gu Yuanyuan lay on the ground laughing heartily, "Is it really true? You're such an ingrate..."
Gu Yuanyuan's face was splattered with soup, and he looked disheveled. Because of this, he fell silent.
Gu Yuanyuan opened her eyes when the soup on her eyelashes went from dripping down to sticking to them. This process didn't take long.
He saw Su Heng holding a soup bowl in his hand, and the instant he opened his eyes, Su Heng threw the soup bowl at him.
The sharp wind whistled past his ears, and the soup bowl slammed against the wall.
Along with the shattering sound came Su Hengyi's extremely cold voice, "Get out."
Mu Guangcheng remained in a half-squatting position, still somewhat stunned.
Su Heng lifted Mu Guangcheng up from the ground. "Are you alright?"
Mu Guangcheng seemed to be stimulated by something. He forcefully shook off Su Hengyi's hand and pushed Su Hengyi's shoulder hard with one arm.
"Do you think I need your meddling? What are you?! Pity, is that it?!"
Mu Guangcheng withdrew his hand, turned around and left resolutely, his clothes fluttering in the wind.
Su Hengyi was pushed back a step, making a screeching sound as he hit the desk.
Gu Yuanyuan got up from the ground. The scabbed scars on his back burst open, and blood seeped through his blue and white school uniform.
Gu Yuanyuan, who is usually so afraid of pain, didn't utter a sound despite the pain. Instead, she sneered at Su Hengyi, "You're so good to him, shouldn't he appreciate it? He doesn't appreciate it, yet you still try to be nice to him. Don't you think that's pathetic?"
"roll!"
"Su Hengyi, who else but me would want you!"
Before leaving, Gu Yuanyuan pointed at Shi Nianzhi and said, "You just wait, I'll kill you!"
He raised his middle finger, then flipped it downwards and pointed forcefully at the floor.
Shi Nianzhi raised two middle fingers, slapped them together, and then flipped them over as well, showing no sign of backing down.
Gu Yuanyuan slammed her hand on the door. "Try pointing again!"
He looked so fierce, as if he was about to come over and chop off Shi Nianzhi's hand.
Su Hengyi looked coldly toward the doorway.
"You scoundrel who relies on his master's power!"
Gu Yuanyuan glared fiercely at Shi Nianzhi, uttered this curse, turned around, and left in a disheveled state with bloodstains all over his back.
Shi Nianzhi snorted, "Brother Yi, Gu Yuanyuan actually called you a dog, that's infuriating."
Su Hengyi: "..."
"He's the dog! No, even a dog wouldn't bite people like that!"
Su Heng handed Shi Nian a pack of wet wipes, "Go to the toilet and clean yourself up."
"Thank you, Brother Yi."
Shi Nianzhi hurried to the men's restroom. His hair was so oily, it was really annoying. Shi Nianzhi washed his hair with cold water in the restroom.
However, without shampoo or any substitute, he washed his hair for a long time before he felt it was okay.
Shi Nianzhi, with her wet hair flying, went to the rooftop to sunbathe.
It's autumn now, and the wind isn't as scorching as in summer. Standing in the sun is fine, but standing in the shade is chilly.
Shi Nianzhi stood in the bright sunlight, looking at his shadow. He lowered his head, the collar of his school uniform was open, revealing his fair and beautiful neck.
Shi Nianzhi took out her phone and sent Lu Jiunian a message: "Are you feeling better?"
classroom.
Su Hengyi picked up a broom and mop to clean up the mess, and Mu Guangcheng came back. He stood outside the window watching Su Hengyi busy cleaning.
His hands were in the pockets of his school uniform pants, and he pursed his lips slightly.
Finally, as if he had made up his mind, he walked into the classroom.
The empty classroom was left with only the two of them; one stood in the first row, bending over to clean, while the other stood in the last row, watching coldly.
Perhaps Su Hengyi had noticed Mu Guangcheng, but he didn't say anything.
It was as if the two people had nothing left to say to each other.
After hesitating for a moment, Mu Guangcheng finally spoke, "Do you need any help?"
"Need not."
Su Heng placed a broom against the wall and began mopping the floor.
Mu Guangcheng was concerned about his reputation, and since what had just happened touched on his pride, he didn't bring it up.
But he walked over to Su Hengyi, bent down to snatch the mop from Su Hengyi's hand, and said, "I'll do it. I'll clean up the mess I made..."
The next second, Mu Guangcheng fell silent.
Because his hand, which was originally bent down to pick up the mop handle, somehow ended up covering Su Hengyi's hand, and the two of them touched, their temperatures so intense.
Mu Guangcheng looked at Su Hengyi at an overly intimate distance, "You, just now, didn't you move your hand up when I wasn't looking?"
