Chapter 2065: Chapter 2065: Longing to Return (32)
Chi Gui leaned on the washbasin, his head slightly bowed, mist filled the air, and the reflection in the mirror was blurred.
Chi Gui slowly exhaled, scooped up some water to wash his face.
He raised his hand to wipe the mirror.
In the mirror appeared the young man’s face, slightly tinged with red after being enveloped by the mist.
The young man lightly pursed his bright lips, his eyes slightly curved, revealing a handsome smile.
But in an instant, the smile disappeared, his eyes in the mirror sharp and piercing, like an unsheathed sword.
A moment later, he lowered his gaze, and his hands, which were leaning on the washbasin, gradually clenched into fists.
Chi Gui, you have to work hard.
Chi Gui left the bathroom; Chuzheng had already ordered takeout and was doing homework while waiting for him.
Chi Gui kissed her from behind, "Baby, I’m sorry."
Chuzheng turned her head slightly, confused: "Hm?"
"Nothing." Chi Gui laughed, pulled out the chair next to her and sat down, "I won’t do that again in the future."
Chuzheng twirled her pen twice, casually saying, "As long as you don’t leave me, you can do anything." Except hitting me is not allowed!!
Chi Gui glanced at her: "You seem to..."
Chi Gui pondered his words: "It feels like we’re very familiar, as if we’ve known each other."
He wasn’t sure if it was just an illusion.
Chi Gui sometimes wondered about this.
Chuzheng raised her eyebrow, seizing the chance to ask, "Do you know ’Fanxing’?"
Chi Gui frowned, thought for a moment: "The stars in the sky?"
Chuzheng shook her head: "It’s a holographic game."
Chi Gui: "..."
Why suddenly mention a holographic game? There aren’t any holographic games on the market yet, right?
Chi Gui’s confusion was written all over his face.
So what Chuzheng said next made Chi Gui even more confused, something about the future, holographic games, and Xing Jue...
"Baby, what are you talking about?" He understood every word, but together they made no sense.
"..."
Chuzheng tossed her pen aside, pushed her notebook away, and pulled over the takeout box: "Let’s eat."
"Who is Xing Jue?" Chi Gui was inexplicably curious about this name.
"A pig."
"??"
"What were all those things you mentioned?"
Chuzheng casually made something up: "A concept game that hasn’t been released yet."
"Oh."
Something still felt off.
-
After finding the source of the rumors, Chuzheng decided to take on the role of a successor to socialism and had a good talk with the other party about core values.
Chuzheng didn’t dare to find Mo Qiong again and directly asked Chi Gui to help bring the person over.
When the boy was ’invited’ over, he was trembling with fear.
Was he about to be bullied at school?
This was the famous boss of Huahai Middle School!
Not to mention the subject of recent gossip...
The person involved sat casually on a chair, which was a bit worn, yet she sat on it as if it were a throne.
And her condescending gaze seemed to see him as an ant...
"W-what do you want?" the boy trembled.
Chuzheng: "Don’t be nervous."
"..." With your stance, how could I not be nervous?
Seeing Chuzheng reach back to fumble for something, his heart quivered, almost bringing him to tears.
"W-what are you... what do you want from me?" The boy’s legs trembled, eyes fixed on Chuzheng’s movements, afraid she might suddenly pull out a devastating weapon, like in the movies.
In the boy’s terrified gaze, Chuzheng took out a manila envelope and slapped it on the table with authority.
"Just tell me who told you about me, and all this will be yours."
Boy: "..."
The boy’s legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground.
Scared to death.
The boy said the information came from his brother’s girlfriend, but he only mentioned it to a few friends; he didn’t know how it spread so widely.
"Who did you tell?"
"..."
Chuzheng ’clap’, pulled out another envelope.
The boy gave a few names... Hmm? A few? Did she not learn math properly, couldn’t count? This long list of names, a few?
Boy: "..."
The boy showed an awkward yet ingratiating smile.
Suddenly, the boy started wailing, "I’m wrong, I shouldn’t have spread rumors..."
-
The boy wasn’t the source; he also heard it from someone else, so Chuzheng asked him to bring his brother’s girlfriend.
The boy, utterly obedient, quickly brought her.
Chuzheng: "..."
Jiang Jing: "..."
Seeing Chuzheng, Jiang Jing wanted to run, but Chi Gui’s people were faster and blocked her.
Jiang Jing’s complexion turned pale: "What are you doing?"
Chuzheng’s voice was calm: "Do I need to remind you of what you’ve done?"
Jiang Jing gritted her teeth: "What have I done?"
"Weren’t the school rumors about me spread by you?"
"..." Panic flashed in Jiang Jing’s eyes, but she feigned calmness: "What makes you say I spread them? Those things are true; many people saw it!"
Saying this, Jiang Jing seemed to gain confidence, holding her head high to look at Chuzheng.
With so many people at school, why accuse her of spreading it!
Chuzheng took out her phone, clicked a few times, and played a recording.
Hearing the sound, Jiang Jing’s face turned ashen in an instant.
-
Chuzheng didn’t expect things to take such a turn. Jiang Jing too had heard it from someone else.
At the time, a few girls were chatting idly, and she happened to overhear it while waiting for the bus.
Because of her conflict with Chuzheng, she told her boyfriend’s friends, knowing one of them was a gossip, sure to spread it.
Once it spread, who would know who the source was?
Besides, she checked, and the incident was real.
It wasn’t a rumor.
But Jiang Jing didn’t expect Chuzheng would come looking for her.
Jiang Jing wasn’t unafraid of Chuzheng, but with Chuzheng commuting this semester, her courage rose slightly...
Chuzheng didn’t do much to Jiang Jing, emotionlessly telling her to find the girls who were chatting.
Jiang Jing: "..."
Where was she supposed to find them!!
Jiang Jing was scared of Chuzheng, daring not to refuse, so she had to agree.
-
Perhaps Jiang Jing was lucky, remembering glimpsing one girl’s school badge, though not seeing a name, but noticing the class.
Using the hairstyle and backpack, Jiang Jing quickly found her.
Chuzheng never expected this would eventually circle back to Bei Xiaoxiao.
Chuzheng: "..."
Bei Xiaoxiao was good at this!
Looping such a big circle.
Seems she has to put her on the list!!
"Can we... leave?" The girls clung to each other, cautiously asking.
Chuzheng nodded, signaling them to go.
The girls immediately walked out; Chuzheng watched them, then quickly told Chi Gui: "Have someone follow them to see who they contact."
Chi Gui: "You don’t believe what they say?"
Chuzheng’s tone was eerie: "Just in case."
