Chapter 101: Drenched

Shen Xi looked at the fox narrowing his eyes while smiling cunningly before walking past him to pour wine for Su Ruowan who was sitting beside Yu Qiubai.

Su Ruowan softly expressed her thanks. She then turned to Yu Qiubai and spoke in a honeyed voice. “Qiubai, enjoy some beverage.”

Yu Qiubai fixated on Shen Xi without sparing Su Ruowan a glance. He impatiently gave an excuse. “I’m not thirsty.”

Hurt by his words, Su Ruowan gave her crying look and bit her lip. She replied in a muffled voice, “Got it.”

Shen Xi put away the wine after filling everyone’s glass and turned to leave.

She was almost at the door.

“Wait a minute.” Yu Qiubai’s offhanded tone bore a clear hint of badgering. His foxy eyes seemed to know all.

Shen Xi stopped at her footsteps and turned around in a meek manner. “Young Master Yu, you were looking for me?”

Lifting his brow, Qiubai’s eyes turned so hazy that it was hard to tell what he was thinking. He rubbed his frown and indolently grinned. “Nothing. I have forgotten what I wanted to say. You may leave.”

Shen Xi grinded her teeth. What was this d*mn fox playing?

She was certain that her disguise was more than capable of even pulling wool over Su Ruowan’s eyes, one who hated her guts.

Yu Qiubai was the only d*mn fox she could not read. Did he actually discover her or was he just chatting out of boredom?

Having accomplished her task, Shen Xi was waiting for the lift to pull out when she caught a glimpse of Suo Ruowan heading to the washroom. She promptly went after her.

With anger contorting her beautiful face, Su Ruowan kicked the toilet bowl and growled in a gruff voice from hell. “Yu Qiubai, just you wait!”

After letting out her anger, Su Ruowan returned to normal and smiled at the cosmetic mirror in her hand.

Out of the blue.

A bucket of water came crashing down.

“Ah!”

Su Ruowan shrieked, being drenched from head to toe.

“Who, who is there?”

Pissed off, Su Ruowan gave a good push and kicked on the toilet stall’s door.

With the door blocked from the outside, she could not push it open.

It was pin-drop silence out there.

“If you had balls, you’d tell me who the hell you are.” Su Ruowan was in rage and annoyed.

“Ha!”

Shen Xi mockingly laughed while taking a glance at the shaking door to the toilet stall before making her way towards the window. With agile moves, she took a leap down.

“Shen Xi?” Su Ruowan was not sure but her eyes grew sinister. “I knew it. You’re Shen Xi, right?”

There was no reply.

Su Ruowan let out a furious scream with a ghastly menacing face before putting her boot into the door.

Shen Xi!

She was certain that it was Shen Xi’s voice.

That b*tch. Su Ruowan would have her revenge on Shen Xi and pay back in hundredfold for all the humiliation she faced today!

Having received a call for help, Su Mushi rushed over and pushed the toilet stall’s door open.

Completely soaked, Su Ruowan fragilely hugged her arms. Her body was shaking violently from fear, reflecting a startled bunny – weak, pitiful, and helpful.

Su Mushi was heartbroken to see this. His eyes were red and voice raspy. “Wanwan.”

Su Ruowan disconcertedly lifted her head. Weak, innocent, and frightened, she jumped into his embrace. “Mushi!”

With his heart going out to her, Su Mushi held her and softly soothed her. “It’s okay. I’m here. Don’t be scared.”

Burying her face in his embrace, Su Ruowan tightened her grip around him in fear and sobbed. She appeared rather terrified and aggrieved.

Yu Qiubai swept a glance at the siblings sharing a moment, narrow and flirty eyes alighting with hints of taunting. He then walked to the windowsill and took a look outside.

Chapter 102: Show Yourself

Song Wenye opened her eyes in a daze to her goddess sitting nearby reading a book. She let out a foolish smile. “Lil Xixi, why aren’t you sleeping?”

Lil Xixi was smelling good from a bath. She looked prettier with pajamas on.

F*ck!

How did she fall asleep?

Song Wenye missed a great chance to peep on the goddess taking a bath!

Lifting her head from her book, Shen Xi took a glance at her. Her indolent voice was absent of the usual frigidness. “You’re awake?”

Still upset, Song Wenye obsessively gazed at her and bobbed her head. “Were you reading all this while?”

Shen Xi hummed in acknowledgement. “You should go home since you’re awake.”

Song Wenye crawled over and pulled her arms around Shen Xi like an octopus. “No. I don’t have a home. My home is wherever you are.”

Shen Xi rolled her eyes in disdain. “Don’t make me use force.”

Jumping away, Song Wenye warily folded her arms and cuddled up into a ball. “I was wrong. I was really wrong. I’ll sleep on the sofa or the floor but I won’t go home.”

“Help yourself. I’m going to hit the sack.” Song Wenye gave Shen Xi the illusion that she was a bully having his way with an honest young lady. Look at her. Shen Xi would only tickle her at most.

Leaping in joy, Song Wenye gestured a huge heart as Shen Xi took strides into the bedroom. “Good night.”

Shen Xi did not look back. “Good night.”

Song Wenye held her heart and shrieked like a groundhog. Oh, oh, oh! Lil Xixi bade her goodnight!

Red Bar was thrown into chaos.

The third eldest son of the Su family, Su Mushi was searching for the perpetrator in the bar like mad, causing the managing staff in the bar to quake in their boots.

Nothing came up in the end. All surveillance was checked yet there was no perpetrator found.

No one went in during the time Su Ruowan was in and out of the washroom.

Fuming with rage, Su Mushi immediately went to Shen Xi’s room and kicked on the door. “Shen Xi! Show yourself!”

Wanwan mentioned that she seemed to have heard Shen Xi’s voice.

It had to be the doing of Shen Xi, that evil brat!

What did Wanwan do to deserve the constant abuse!

“Mushi, it’s not Shen Xi. I must have heard it wrong. It was a hallucination from missing Shen Xi too much.” Su Ruowan pulled Su Mushi back with tears pouring down her face.

The absence of that b*tch, Shen Xi, in the hotel during this time would prove that she was behind this, even if she was not!

“Wanwan, stay out of it.” Su Mushi was on the warpath and out to get Shen Xi. He gave the door another kick.

The door was suddenly opened.

Su Mushi missed and lost his footing. He would have taken a fall had it not for Su Ruowan. His eyes were bloodshot from burning fury. “Shen Xi!”

“Get lost!” Shen Xi coldly blurted before slamming the door close.

Su Mushi reached out to seize the door. He pulled himself together before enquiring through clenched teeth. “Where were you tonight?”

“Reading and sleeping.” Shen Xi looked askance at him impatiently. “I’m calling the cops if you’re going to harass me.”

The blank look on Shen Xi’s face like he did not matter really put Su Mushi off. Scowling, he questioned further. “It was you, wasn’t it? You followed us to the bar and splashed Wanwan with cold water in the washroom.”

“Su Mushi.” Shen Xi pointed at his head and scoffed. “You should seek help if you have a problem there. I’m calling the cops if you’re not letting go.”

Chapter 103: I Can Bear Witness

“You say that you were in your room. Can anyone prove that you didn’t go anywhere?” Su Mushi’s fists could bleed from the clutching.

Other than the evil brat, Shen Xi, no one capable of such vileness crossed his mind.

“Me! I can bear witness.” Song Wenye bolted out of the bathroom after a shower. Enraged to see the Su siblings ganging up on Shen Xi, Song Wenye picked up a vase and charged over.

Su Mushi intuitively took a few steps back in the face of the charging bull that was Song Wenye.

Having retreated, he was in shock to find that the nutcase Song Wenye was not after him but Wanwan.

Song Wenye knew no fear and was without reason. Holding the vase up high, she viciously aimed at Su Ruowan’s head to smash.

Watch out, Wanwan.” Unable to stop her on time, Su Mushi yelled in a panic as he came in between the girls.

Song Wenye wanted to teach them a lesson, especially Su Ruowan, that b*tch. It never occurred to her that she would be seized by the wrist. She darted a menacing glare at the person who stopped her. “Yu Qiubai, it’s best you butt out.”

F*ck!

These siblings sure threw their weight around, thinking Xixi was gullible. They must have eaten sh*t to be throwing around such vicious slander.

“Everyone, calm down.” Yu Qiubai acted as a peacemaker. With his lean foxy eyes staring at Shen Xi, he opened his mouth. “I’ve seen surveillance. Since checking into the hotel, Shen Xi only left to meet with Yu Yuanxi while the remainder of time was spent in her own room.”

The remark saw Su Mushi’s eyes growing sinister as resentment brewed to an all-time high within.

The escorting teacher made haste over after catching wind of the situation. These were not students, but rather little devils!

“What’s going on? What’s the big hoo-ha in the middle of the night? Isn’t the exam tomorrow?” The escorting teacher brought out the authority of an educator.

Su Ruowan welled up in her eyes. Her pale complexion coupled with trails of undried tears drew out the delicateness in her. She answered in a raspy voice, “Teacher, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault.”

The escorting teacher was protective towards weak girls. “Don’t cry. Tell me, what happened?”

The whole floor was reserved by No. 4 High School. Otherwise, the school’s reputation would be tainted if other guests caught sight of the commotion.

Su Ruowan’s voice was muffled, appearing rather wronged and aggrieved. She merely sobbed and wailed without a word all the way through after the apology.

Yu Qiubai walked the teacher through the incident before smiling. “Shi was only concerned about Wanwan and came to question Shen Xi. It’s not a big deal.”

“Get lost!” Having lost it, Song Wenye held her finger against Yu Qiubai’s nose and chastised. “Don’t you f*cking try to smooth things over here. I’m not just going to bloody sit by and watch if you don’t explain yourselves.”

Great!

They were so full of themselves when they were harassing Shen Xi, throwing vicious slander.

Now they were trying to throw the teacher off the scene after realizing their mistake. No way could she agree to that.

“Mushi.” Su Ruowan meekly cried. Her swollen eyes from crying really tugged at heartstrings.

Su Ruowan was sure that she had heard Shen Xi’s voice. Shen Xi was definitely the culprit who splashed cold water on her!

How did Shen Xi, that b*tch escape surveillance? How did she go off the radar and create an alibi?

Su Mushi was clear that he was in the wrong in this case since it never crossed his mind to check on the hotel’s surveillance. He merely wanted an excuse to kick up a fuss with Shen Xi and vent out his rage.

Under no circumstances would he apologize to Shen Xi!

Chapter 104: Soul-sucking Voice

“Mushi, I’ll go apologize to Shen Xi.” Su Ruowan swiftly made up her mind.

She knew more than anyone else that it would just work against their favor at this rate. Stopping here would earn her more sympathy and get more people on her side.

“Wanwan.” Su Mushi had enough of Shen Xi and equipped with a chance, he really wanted to kill her in order to let all of that hatred go.

Outraged, the onlooking top-class students glared at Shen Xi. Who did she think she was, making Goddess Wanwan apologize to her?

A disgusting thing like her was not worthy of an apology from Goddess Wanwan. Shen Xi should be cursed and drop dead on the spot!

Su Ruowan darted an aggrieved and meek stare at Su Mushi before straightening her back, trying to be strong as she took firm strides towards Shen Xi. “Shen Xi, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. Don’t blame Mushi. You know how he is. He only did what he did because of me.”

“You guys make a big deal out of something small.” Unfazed, Shen Xi coldly sneered. “How could I possibly splash you with water?”

Heaving relief, Su Ruowan took quite an effort to curl her lips and appear rather pleasantly surprised. “Shen Xi, are you saying that you forgive me?”

Shen Xi indifferently swept her a glance and abruptly drew close to whisper in her ear. “It’s not going to be water if it were me.”

“Shen Xi?” Su Ruowan pitifully gazed back at her in a daze. Confused, she threw a question, “What are you talking about?”

Shen Xi approached her with a friendly smile and said something before retreating. She then coldly blurted, “I’m not going to stoop to your level since I’m always bighearted. You should go.”

Su Ruowan turned gray-faced and froze as though spooked. Her innocent and naïve eyes widened in disbelief.

“I guess you’re overjoyed.” Shen Xi diabolically glanced at Su Ruowan and then the teacher. “Teacher, if nothing’s the matter, we should go on our own way.”

The Su siblings came looking for trouble but Shen Xi decided to let it pass, reaching reconciliation for all parties concerned. With everyone happy with the result, the crowd of onlookers broke up.

“What did you say to Su Ruowan?” Itching with curiosity, Song Wenye pursued the matter with Shen Xi. “The grim expression on her face made her look like a dead person.”

“I told her.” Shen Xi turned around and flashed a smile at Song Wenye before leaning against her ear to satisfy her curiosity.

Dumbstruck for a moment, Song Wenye gave her the thumbs up. Amazing. Just pure genius! It was no wonder Su Ruowan’s face turned as white as a ghost and her mind unhinged.

Su Mushi released his anger by smashing everything in the room. After breaking the last smashable item in the room, he went out of his room and knocked on the door to Su Ruowan’s room.

No one responded after several knocks.

Worried, Su Mushi quickly took out a spare room card to open the door and was welcomed by Su Ruowan looking completely out of it on the sofa.

D*mn Shen Xi! She was to blame for all of this. Wanwan would have not suffered such grievance had it not for her!

“Wanwan.” Su Mushi walked up and cried multiple times.

“Mushi.” With swollen eyes, Su Ruowan fragilely smiled at him. “Don’t be so rash next time. I feel bad for accusing Shen Xi wrongly.”

“Got it.” Su Mushi may say so but rage was swallowing him from inside. He wanted to squash that brat the next chance he got. “Don’t entertain needless thoughts. She’s not worth your concern.”

Wanwan was too kind, so kind that he wished that she was better than that. A personality like hers would only subject Su Ruowan to be a victim of abuse.

With downcast eyes, Su Ruowan kept to herself but deep within her eyes, brewed bubbling maliciousness.

Shen Xi, that d*mn b*tch! How dare she threaten her!

Shen Xi’s voice lingered and echoed in her ear, sapping the life out of her.

Chapter 105: Psychological Trauma

Shen Xi had said, “Be careful. Next time, I’ll use sulphuric acid.”

…

Big news broke out in Capital No. 4 High School. In the Mathematical Olympiad competition, everyone in the top class lost except Yu Qiubai.

On the day of the exam, no one knew what the top class ate wrong, but all of them had diarrhea, resulting in them being sent to the ER in the hospital and missing the exam.

A few people endured the pain and were determined to take the test while physically handicapped, but they lost after failing to stand it after a few minutes.

More than one participant from other schools revealed that a strange smell was detected ten minutes into the exam. One person could not hold it anymore and was carried off from the spot.

According to the hospital’s diagnosis, the school determined that they had gone out to eat indiscriminately and had eaten something bad, resulting in collective food poisoning.

The only one in the top class who was spared was Yu Qiubai because he was mysophobic. No matter who he went out with, he never ate or drank a bite of outside food because he saw them as unhygienic.

The top class was unconvinced, and Su Mushi took the lead to secretly investigate this matter. They agreed that someone wanted to set them up and had drugged them.

…

In the entire school, only the international class did not have to worry about their future education. They played around when others studied, and they played around when others played around too. They lived everyday like it was New Year’s.

“Why are you acting like wolves? Slow down a bit. There’s enough for everyone.” Song Wenye was disgusted when she looked at the group of people.

She was happy today and treated herself to some ice cream. She ordered two vanilla flavored ones and handed one to Shen Xi with a smile. “Here, Lil Xixi. I saved this for you.”

Shen Xi raised her eyes and looked at her. “You look happy.”

Song Wenye helped her open the lid of the ice cream and stuck the spoon inside, her smile widening. “Don’t you know why?”

Shen Xi glanced at her indifferently.

Song Wenye slapped the table happily. “I heard some people say that since that day, Su Ruowan insists on someone accompanying her every time she goes to the ladies and wants them to keep watch outside. Don’t you think it’s funny?”

With Su Ruowan’s suspicious nature, Shen Xi knew that her words would definitely cause Su Ruowan to become paranoid. This was much more satisfying than throwing sulfuric acid on her.

Imagine how she would feel if she had to worry about whether someone would harm her, bash her head in, or pour sulfuric acid on her every time she had to go to the bathroom. It was not easy to solve psychological paranoia. What a beautiful image that was.

Song Wenye also said that in order to find out if this was true, she purposely stayed at the door of the top class for two classes and followed Su Ruowan when she went to the washroom.

When Su Ruowan saw her enter the washroom, she did not go to the toilet and just pretended to wash her hands before going back to class.

“Say, do you think she’ll end up being unable to hold it in and pee or sh*t in her pants if I keep following her everywhere?” Song Wenye laughed and covered her stomach.

It was too hilarious. That little b*tch Su Ruowan finally got what she deserved. When Song Wenye thought of how Su Ruowan had to be afraid even when going to the washroom, Song Wenye was so happy she wanted to fly.

Shen Xi glanced at her in disdain. “You’re really amazing.”

Song Wenye laughed so hard that tears came out. “You don’t know but it’s super hilarious. You’ll know when you see it.”

Shen Xi felt that she would not see it. To be honest, people like Su Ruowan were not worth her time.

However, man’s schemes are inferior to those made by heaven.

After the second class in the afternoon, Shen Xi went to the washroom only to find that the third floor washroom was broken and under repair.

Song Wenye was overjoyed and pulled Shen Xi to the second floor, where the top class was. They might have a chance to meet Su Ruowan.

Su Ruowan did not expect to see Shen Xi in the washroom. When she saw Shen Xi and Song Wenye, who was standing beside her with an expression that looked like she was excited to see a drama unfold, Su Ruowan was so angry that her breath choked in her throat.
