"This watch..." Wu Qiaoqiao was about to spout some nonsense to show off in front of him, but suddenly, her head began to feel increasingly dizzy. She couldn’t help but raise her hand to her forehead and said, "Gu Zhihan, can you stop shaking it for a moment? I, I am feeling a bit dizzy..."
"Feeling dizzy?" Gu Zhihan asked while continuing to shake it.
"Yes...dizzy...very dizzy..." Wu Qiaoqiao stammered. At this point, her gaze had taken on the appearance of mosquito-repellent incense.
Seeing her in this state, Gu Zhihan knew he had succeeded in hypnotizing her, so he put away the pocket watch in his hand.
After tucking away the watch, he then lifted his gaze, looking indifferently at the girl across from him, and asked, "What’s your name?"
As he asked, he also turned on a recording pen.
Wu Qiaoqiao obediently replied.
"Which school do you attend?" Gu Zhihan continued to ask.
"A Middle School, Class 2-1." Perhaps it was the alcohol she had drunk earlier, but her voice was now tinged with a hazy drunkenness as if she wasn’t hypnotized, just aimlessly babbling while drunk.
"I’m asking you, was it you who vandalized the bulletin board of Class 2-20?"
"How can you be so dumb, the reason is very simple, isn’t it? I can’t stand Luo Mengmeng; she stole the boy I liked. I splashed the paint to get revenge on her, to ruin her bulletin board and have her scolded by the teacher. Afterwards, I hid the key in her desk slot. As long as there was a search, Luo Mengmeng would be mistaken for the culprit. My plan was great, wasn’t it?" Wu Qiaoqiao blurted out everything without a filter and even chuckled twice after speaking.
Gu Zhihan’s expression grew colder bit by bit.
Hypothesizing was one thing, but hearing it firsthand was another.
It was hard to imagine how a girl of only seventeen or eighteen could be so scheming and malicious.
Gu Zhihan stared at her nauseating face until he couldn’t resist doing something he had wanted but refrained from doing: he poured a cup of cold drink over her head.
He had gotten the evidence he needed, and her, he truly didn’t want to see her for even another second.
"Ah!!" The sleepy Wu Qiaoqiao was suddenly doused with the cold drink, shivering instantly. Seeing herself become utterly disheveled, she couldn’t help but ask him with a voice on the verge of tears, "Gu Zhihan, what, what are you doing?"
Hadn’t they just been chatting nicely? But why did he turn on her so abruptly?
"I told you to get out."
Gu Zhihan repeated, his patience wearing thin.
"Why?" Wu Qiaoqiao wasn’t ready to leave without an answer, and kept pressing him for one.
She didn’t understand why their relationship turned so stiff just because she looked at his watch.
Did she say something wrong just now?
Wu Qiaoqiao tried hard to think, but still, she couldn’t recall anything about what had just happened.
She became even more baffled, "Gu Zhihan, did I say something wrong just now that upset you? Can you, as the better person, not hold a grudge and forgive me?"
Even though she didn’t know what had happened, Wu Qiaoqiao knew that it was always right to apologize first.
"You won’t leave, will you? Then I’m leaving!" Gu Zhihan completely lost his patience and strode toward the exit.
Inside the private room, Wu Qiaoqiao, drenched in drink, was completely befuddled. Watching his angry departure, her eyes filled with incomprehension.
What on earth had happened?
