"Do you know what kind of expression that is? Surprised? I know I'm the only old educated youth who really likes you, but you really don't need to be so surprised. It's just having a meal together, nothing special."
These shameless words truly made Zhu Qing look at them in a new light; she tried to pull at the corners of her mouth, but couldn't budge them.
"Stop! Chen Zhiqing, we're not close, so let's skip the meal. Besides, you've misunderstood. I wasn't concerned about you; I just felt you were keeping me from resting."
Hearing this, a normal person would definitely feel embarrassed or angry, but no matter what their mindset, they wouldn't have the face to stay any longer.
As it turns out, Chen Hui isn't a normal person.
"Hey, hey, hey—don't try to fool me. Who goes to bed so early? I don't mean anything by it. I just wanted to chat with you. You know, I don't even bother with those women at the educated youth settlement."
Only with you, just from hearing their descriptions, I knew you were my type.
Zhu Qinghao was too lazy to say anything more. Without a word, she picked up the broom by the door, turned it around, and pointed it at him.
"Chen Zhiqing, I've made myself very clear. I don't know you well, and what you said really offended me. I'm warning you again, if you keep talking nonsense, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Upon seeing this scene, Chen Hui was neither afraid nor angry; he simply stood there and chuckled to himself.
"As expected, you really suit my taste. And why are you talking like that? Are you playing hard to get?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than he felt Zhu Qinghao's broom come crashing down on him, hitting his cheek and ear once, making him feel like his ear was about to fall off.
He clutched his ear in pain, glaring at Zhu Qinghao with eyes full of anger.
"Zhu Qinghao, don't be ungrateful. Don't think I don't know you're exactly what they say you are. You're already infamous. What are you pretending to be so high and mighty for? I'll talk to you... Ah!"
Chen Hui was attacked again, but this time he was attacked from both sides.
Because Si Tian had appeared outside Zhu Qinghao's yard at some point, carrying her own fire poker, and blocked Chen Hui's way.
Hearing Chen Hui's outrageous words, she knew that someone at the educated youth settlement must be slandering her and Zhu Qinghao.
However, since she couldn't catch anyone else for the time being, she could only vent her anger on the person who had been caught red-handed, and started beating him with a fire poker.
They beat Chen Hui until he cried and screamed, and only stopped after they exchanged a glance and decided it was enough.
"You, Chen Hui, you've even started spreading rumors right up to the person in question, haven't you? I think it's not too late now, why don't we go and talk to the captain together?"
"We'll hear what the captain has to say about your behavior of spreading rumors and damaging others' reputations, and see what we should do."
Chen Hui tried his best to cover the painful areas on his body, but found that he couldn't cover them all because he was in pain everywhere.
Hearing Si Tian's words, he couldn't help but grimace in response:
"I didn't say that, everyone says it. Haven't you heard the saying, 'It takes two to tango,' or 'Flies don't land on eggs without cracks'?"
If one or two people say it, you can say it's a rumor, but if everyone is saying it, it must be you..."
Before she could finish speaking, Zhu Qinghao slapped her hard across the face.
Si Tian, who was standing to the side, was very excited. She originally wanted to go too, but then she realized that her height was really worrying, so she could only finish the job with her mouth after Zhu Qinghao finished beating people.
"Look, isn't this a slap? Do you think it's loud or not?"
