Chapter 67: So You Knew All Along

  Last night, the school also arranged for evening self-study. After school, the annoying Shu Zimo had his hands in his pockets, with a lollipop in his mouth, humming an unknown tune, looking like a complete rascal, following behind Qiao Anyu like a villain plotting something.

  Qiao Anyu seized the opportunity when he was off guard, suddenly turned around, and stared straight at Shu Zimo, scaring him into quickly pulling his feet back, barely avoiding a collision with a small sedan in front of them.

  "Girl, what have I done to you again! Do you have to give me that kind of resentful housewife's gaze?" Shu Zimo took off his lollipop, with an innocent face, but in his heart, he was secretly praising himself for his humorous metaphor.

  "Qin Hui likes Leng Ning, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Qiao Anyu asked in a "gentle" tone. This tone hid a lethal weapon.

  Shu Zimo couldn't help but notice that she was interrogating him, so he retorted: "Am I very close to you? What makes you think I should tell you such a confidential matter?"

  "Can't you at least give people some mental preparation? You have no idea how scared Cong Ling was today. Can't you use your brain to judge whether the other person likes you or not before confessing? Don't make it so awkward that the two of you can't even be friends, let alone strangers. And another thing, can't you find a less violent way to confess? Just because you have feelings for someone doesn't mean they feel the same way. Have you considered the other person's feelings? When a girl says no, it means no! You guys always think that's just her being coy. It's completely wrong!" Qiao An Yu angrily condemned, her face red with rage. She spoke too quickly and couldn't even catch her breath.

  "What mental preparation is, it's mental defense, right? You said that before confessing, you have to judge whether the other person likes you or not. I'm very interested in knowing how you judged whether Su Yuzhe liked you." Shu Zimo was provoked by Qiao Anyu's words. He casually threw the lollipop into a nearby trash can and stared at her coldly. Qiao Anyu's accusations were not only aimed at the entire male group, but also at his closest brother - Qin Hui, who was still in the hospital receiving an IV, with white gauze wrapped around his hand, silently smoking a cigarette. Seeing him so downhearted, Shu Zimo didn't feel good either.

  "Ah!" He indeed knew. No wonder he always deliberately let her make a fool of herself in front of Su Yu Zhe. Qiao An Yu Lian was both angry and humiliated. Shu Zi Mo had hurt the deeply hidden heart, her eyes reddened, she turned around and ran away.

  As soon as he spoke, he regretted it. He shouldn't have let her know that he had overheard her secret long ago, and from now on, she would definitely be more cautious around him, making his plans impossible to succeed smoothly. Moreover, he must have hurt her. She liked Su Yuze so much and showed it so obviously, yet still thought she was hiding it perfectly like a fool. If Xu Xiao hadn't been in the way, anyone with eyes could see that she liked Su Yuze.

  He didn't dare to provoke her again, so he secretly followed behind, watching as she ran up the stairs.

  After that, Qiao An Yulian never spoke to Shu Zimo again. No matter how much Shu Zimo teased her or tried to provoke her, she remained unmoved and silent. When it was time to hand in their homework, all she had to do was stand in front of him and he would understand. But although he understood, Shu Zimo always pretended to be clueless, feigning ignorance. Qiao An Yulian didn't bother to hurry him along, simply turning around and walking away. It wasn't her who would suffer if the homework wasn't handed in, so why should she care? In the end, it was Shu Zimo who had no choice but to reluctantly hand in his homework, silently lamenting the boundless power of "cold violence".

  Gu Siqi went crazy writing poetry and essays, pretending to be a literature enthusiast. Qiao Anyu knew her true intentions were to get closer to Dong Yan teacher, the charming married man with children. She repeatedly warned Gu Siqi that this was playing with fire, but she was already deeply trapped in her infatuation. Qiao Anyu could only remind her of the difference in their social status to prevent her from doing something out of line.

  Under Gu Siqi's influence, Qiao Anyu also began to study poetry. A letter from her pen pal Piaoxue gave her a bold idea.
