“Use your words.” Pei Xu crossed his legs on the table as he leaned back lazily. He looked askance at Lin Ge. “The boy is finally showing his face?”
Nodding, Lin Ge caught his breath. “He’s tied up on the podium with a sack over his head. He’s ditched at the podium. Alpha Xu, who do you think did this?”
Pei Xu caressed his lips with his thumb. With an irrepressible and bloodthirsty smile, he got up and charmingly jumped over the table before turning back to smile at Shen Xi. “Xixi, do you want to go and take a look with me?”
“Nope.” Shen Xi’s reply was indifferent.
She found out yesterday when Song Wenye came over last night. Pei Xu and Su Mushi made a bet on whether she would walk the red carpet. The loser had to crawl under the other party’s crotch.
Song Wenye was not having it and insisted on pulling her along. “Xixi, let’s go. Su Mushi really did it to himself this time. We will see if he’s still going to act like he’s all that in school. The campus beau, my *ss!”
Shen Xi, along with the other girlfriends, were dragged to the schoolyard.
It was quite the commotion in the schoolyard with over ten thousand No. 4 High School students, including its junior high division. The crowd was blown out of proportion following the arrival of the junior high division joining in with the other onlookers. It was so huge that only a sea of faces was visible from afar.
Since Pei Xu was on a manhunt, Lin Ge had someone watch over Su Mushi the moment he was discovered while he went to report to Pei Xu.
Cocky as she could be, Song Wenye brought along her girlfriends yelling fiercely for people to give way. It did not take long before they reached the podium.
Yu Qiubai had not been there for too long by the looks of it. Kneeling by Su Mushi, Yu Qiubai fixated on him. “Shi, a bet’s a bet. Even as bros, I can’t do anything to help you. Just be done and over with it so I can take you to the infirmary.”
Su Mushi gave Yu Qiubai a dirty eye and hissed through clenched teeth. “Yu Qiubai, I’m not your bro!”
Bro?
Would anyone do such a thing to their bro?
Yu Qiubai was the first person to discover him. Yet, Yu Qiubai did not release him and even told someone to inform Pei Xu. This was no buddy of his.
Letting out a sigh, Yu Qiubai regrettably replied all hurt, “I know you’re blaming me for all this, but I’m only doing so for your own good. Be a man of your word. How can you go back on your word after agreeing to it? I’m the witness and even as bros, I can’t play favorites.”
Shen Xi looked at the d*mn fox before turning to Su Mushi who was at the end of his rope. She was beginning to pity the fella.
“Since the person in question is here…” Yu Qiubai turned a blind eye to Su Mushi’s murderous eyes and stood up. “A bet’s a bet. It’s time to carry out the condition of the bet.”
Su Mushi was about to lose it. He darted the evil eye at Yu Qiubai, feeling all the genuine feelings he poured out in the past were a waste. Su Mushi thought of him as his buddy, but the latter thought nothing of him.
Compared to the humiliation he was about to go through, Yu Qiubai’s betrayal was a bigger blow to him.
The bet between Su Mushi and Pei Xu had already stirred up quite a buzz. Everyone in No. 4 High School knew about it and was eagerly waiting to watch it unfold.
Yu Qiubai withdrew to Shen Xi and asked with his head tilted to the side. “Do you know who tied Shi up and threw him here?”
Not bothered to look at him, Shen Xi gazed at Su Mushi getting on his knees in disgrace and resentment as he got ready to crawl under and between Pei Xu’s legs.
Yu Qiubai was the first person to discover Su Mushi and the first to make it here. Holding a black cloth in his hand, Yu Qiubai dangled it in front of Shen Xi. “Do you recognize this?”
