Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 2049: Chapter 2049: Reluctant to Return (16)

Chuzheng put away her phone and looked at the disheveled crowd curled up together: "Now we all have dirt on each other, feel free to post it if you don’t mind. Let’s see whose is more eye-catching."

Bei Xiaoxiao’s expression twisted, her eyes like they’ve been poisoned.

Chuzheng didn’t care at all for her gaze, flipped her hands into her pockets, and walked away coolly.

[Hidden Task: Please obtain a Good Person Card from Chi Gui and prevent him from turning evil.]

Chuzheng snorted coldly with a blank expression.

-

Chi Gui.

The notorious troublemaker of Huahai Middle School, known amongst all the teachers.

After the merger of Huahai Middle School and Dongyang Middle School, management fell to Dongyang, dealing a severe blow to Chi Gui, the troublemaker.

Yet, the troublemaker still clashed with the teachers.

The major turning point was when Teacher Lin lost that money.

Chi Gui and his gang of hooligan friends, unhappy with the teachers, went to mess with them.

As a result, Teacher Lin happened to lose money, and the surveillance caught them being suspicious.

Chi Gui and the others were called in for questioning, of course, they didn’t admit it.

However, the teachers didn’t believe them!

Especially the teachers from Huahai, convinced that Chi Gui and his gang stole it.

The teachers from Dongyang were suspicious, but only had the surveillance as evidence, so no punishment was given.

This matter spread in the school, and as suspected culprits, Chi Gui and the others could only imagine how they’d be viewed.

Then just like now, it was the autumn outing after the two schools merged.

During this time, Chi Gui was maliciously troubled and couldn’t swallow it, leading to a fight.

The person got seriously injured, and Chi Gui faced expulsion.

But the injured person wasn’t planning to let him off, bringing people to trouble Chi Gui.

One thing led to another, and Chi Gui completely turned evil.

Teacher Lin’s lost money incident had been resolved, so without that turning point, Chi Gui didn’t carry the suspicion of theft.

So now it’s...

Chuzheng found Chi Gui, who was standing pale under a tree, and she could see him shaking.

Chuzheng: "??"

Sick?

Chuzheng went over: "What are you doing?"

Chi Gui turned his head abruptly, his emotions shifting rapidly, as if trying to hide something but unable to due to instinct.

Chuzheng went over to his side.

"Stay put!" Chi Gui snapped fiercely.

Chuzheng stopped, seriously asked: "What’s wrong?"

"Nothing..." Chi Gui took a deep breath: "You should go back first."

Chuzheng: "..."

If I leave, wouldn’t you be done for?

"What’s really going on?" Chuzheng, somewhat impatient, continued walking towards Chi Gui.

Chi Gui, slightly anxious: "Don’t come over! There’s a snake!"

"A snake?" Chuzheng pointed to the sky: "Where would a snake come from in this weather?"

Snakes hibernate, don’t they?

Chi Gui: "..." Is that really your point of focus?

Chi Gui pointed downwards with his finger.

In the grass by his feet, a two-finger-thick snake, was raising its head indistinctly.

"There really is a snake..." Is this snake magical? Coming out in this cold weather instead of hibernating.

Chi Gui: "..."

Do I look like someone who would lie?

"Are you afraid of snakes?" Chuzheng finally got back on track.

Chi Gui gave a pale smile.

Is his fear not obvious enough for you to ask again?

He bit his teeth, asked: "You’re not afraid?" Aren’t girls usually scared of these things?

Chuzheng’s tone was flat: "What’s there to be afraid of."

Chuzheng stood there without the intent to move, Chi Gui endured: "...Can you help me move it away?"

Chi Gui’s face was a bit flushed at that moment.

More embarrassed than scared.

He had been afraid of snakes since he was little, he couldn’t help it, does everyone not have their own fears?

Usually, in the city, snakes are hardly seen.

Who would have thought that during this weather, there would still be snakes on the mountain.

He completely lost face!

Chuzheng was about to move, but fixed herself: "Ask me nicely."

Chi Gui’s mouth twitched: "Classmate, you’re going too far."

Chuzheng shrugged nonchalantly: "Then stay there, maybe it’ll leave if it’s in a good mood."

Chi Gui: "..."

Why is he even here suffering like this?

Isn’t it because of you!!

You just had to meddle, and now look what happened!

"I’m just saying there’s not many people here, but it looks like there’s a path over there, let’s go check it out."

There were voices coming from afar.

By the sounds of it, they were heading over to them.

Chuzheng was unfamiliar with the voices, but Chi Gui wasn’t.

If that group sees him...

"Have you decided? Those people are coming over." Chuzheng reminded him.

"...Please!" Chi Gui gritted his teeth.

Chuzheng lowered her arms from her chest, picked up a dry branch casually, and easily flicked the snake away, throwing it to the side.

The girl remained calm, her movements swift, making Chi Gui feel a strange sense of déjà vu.

As if...

A long time ago, there had been a scene like this.

This thought didn’t linger long in Chi Gui’s mind, disappearing as quickly as it came.

Chi Gui leaned against the tree, catching his breath.

"Chi Gui..."

People coming up saw Chi Gui and immediately greeted him, though with not much friendliness.

Chi Gui still looked pale, seeming not quite right.

Those people immediately approached.

"Yo, what’s our Brother Chi up to?"

"Is he on a date with a pretty girl?"

"Why does our Brother Chi look unwell? Could it be..." a few boys laughed uproariously.

Chi Gui stood still for a few seconds, pulling Chuzheng behind him: "You guys got too much time on your hands?"

"Oh, not as much as our Brother Chi, still having a date with the pretty girl here... Brother Chi, you amaze me, just got into Dongyang Middle and already hitched up with a good student."

"Looks like we need to learn more from Brother Chi, don’t you guys think?"

The boys spewed filth, their words unbearable.

Chi Gui’s brows knitted tighter, glaring at them with increasing malice.

"Let’s beat them up." Chuzheng suggested quietly from behind, sticking her head out.

After all, no one’s here to see.

Though advocating violence in front of a Good Person Card isn’t great, but they had it coming for their filthy mouths.

Chi Gui: "???"

Is that something a good student should say?

Chi Gui initially wanted to act, but Chuzheng’s words made him calm down.

"Let’s go."

Chi Gui pulled Chuzheng away.

The boys didn’t stop them, only laughing uproariously behind.

The girl, being led away by Chi Gui, suddenly turned her head, her pretty face cold with no emotion.

Especially those eyes, like a robot from TV, the pupils akin to beautiful glass balls inlaid.

Being stared at by her, a chill inexplicably crept up in their hearts.

The laughter abruptly ceased.

Chuzheng and Chi Gui disappeared from their sight.

"Who was that girl?" someone asked after a long silence.

"Dunno, which class is she from..."

"Her stare was kinda scary."

"Scare who? Just a little kid, are you even a man?"

"..."

Weren’t you scared just now too?
