Chapter 89: Chapter 88: Behave and Submit!
After the meeting, Lu Mian, with swift and sharp movements, jumped off the windowsill and was the first to leave the classroom.
Su Jue lifted his leg to follow her, and Lu Xinnuan was chasing after them from behind.
Chasing into the depths of the corridor, Lu Xinnuan suddenly let out a cry of “Ah” and crouched down weakly, as if leaning on a gentle breeze. She softly called out, “Sis, slow down, I’ve twisted my ankle…”
Su Jue, faster than her, stopped one step away and looked back with a cold demeanor.
Although he was a bit annoyed by her failing at a critical moment, as a boy, he couldn’t just ignore a classmate who was injured.
He stretched out his arm to help Lu Xinnuan stand against the wall, “You wait here, I’ll go catch her. What do you want to say to her?”
If it weren’t for Lu Xinnuan following them, he would have caught up with Lu Mian long ago.
“Su Jue, forget it…” Lu Xinnuan shook her head, “She won’t listen.”
Su Jue was irritated by her way of speaking, always holding back three parts out of ten and carrying four parts of innuendo.
“What exactly do you want to say to her?”
“I… I just wanted to care about where she is living now, how she is doing, nothing else…”
Su Jue nodded, speaking rapidly, “I’ll pass on your words, and when I come back, I’ll take you to the infirmary.”
Lu Xinnuan watched Su Jue’s impatient steps, the temperature in her eyes growing colder and colder.
With increased speed, Su Jue finally caught up with Lu Mian as she was stepping off the last stair.
“Lu Mian, can you show some respect for others!” He yelled out in his hurry to catch up with her.
Lu Mian, walking carefreely to the classroom, turned around upon hearing Su Jue’s complaint.
This guy must be kidding.
“Your sister was chasing you, and she twisted her ankle.” Su Jue said as he approached her, “She gave up her seat for you, and you didn’t even acknowledge her, that’s not exactly polite.”
Lu Mian figured he was there to settle scores with her.
Because she hadn’t accepted their insincere offer to give up their seats, they were mad.
Her brows and eyes revealed a heavy coldness, with a terribly malicious smile, the gloomy aura around her pushed Su Jue back two steps.
She said with mockery, “Su Jue, are you really stupid or just pretending? Can’t you see I really hate you guys?”
“…” Su Jue was left embarrassed by the retort and stood his ground to keep up his momentum, “Even if you hate me, you should at least have a reason!”
“Incompatibility of our horoscopes,” she replied dismissively.
“You’re a high school student, how can you believe in such feudal superstitions!”
Lu Mian was amused by his reaction, her gaze sweeping past with a fleeting flicker of dark light.
She laughed, “I also know you’re going to suffer a blood disaster today!”
“Lu Mian, you’re being more and more ridiculous—”
Lu Mian didn’t bother to waste words, grabbing the collar of his shirt, lifting her right knee, and harshly striking his abdomen. Before Su Jue could even cry out in pain, she let go of his collar and threw him to the side.
The muffled sound of his large body falling onto the floor tiles was cringe-worthy.
Lu Mian then kicked him again.
Already tall, she looked down upon the boy on the ground as if she were a queen descending into the mortal world.
Her stunningly exquisite features were tinged with a hostility that warned others to keep their distance.
“If I don’t deal with you, you better cower in submission. If you anger me, not even Old Man Su’s face will be given!”
Wiping her fingers with a tissue, she leisurely walked away.
Su Jue finally came to his senses amidst the intense pain, realizing he had been beaten up by Lu Mian again, and quite severely at that.
The moment she attacked, he didn’t have a split second to fight back.
Lying on the ground, hugging his stomach, he was in unbearable pain.
At his elbow, due to friction with the ground, blood was gushing out.
And when he struggled to sit up, he saw a cold and imposing figure not far away scanning over him as if nothing had happened, then turning away.
