Chapter 99: Indecent Beyond All Bounds

Ruan Wei was left flushed with anger after being bested by Ruan Cha. Her eyes brimmed with tears.

“Cha Cha, how can you talk to me like that...”

It looked as if her tears might spill at any moment.

Ruan Cha turned her head away, lifted a hand, and gently stroked Shen Susu’s cheek, her voice tender beyond belief. “How is it? Does it hurt?”

Shen Susu looked at her with that stubborn little expression of hers, moved and wronged all at once. “It doesn’t hurt!”

Watching her, Ruan Cha’s heart ached.

“Cha Cha, I—I believe in you. You’ll definitely come first!”

“I know.”

Ruan Cha ruffled Shen Susu’s hair. Seeing the sincerity in her eyes, something in her own heart softened even more.

“Only a fool like Shen Susu would believe in Ruan Cha!”

“Honestly, what a pair of fools—one delusional, the other full of wishful thinking.”

...

Ruan Wei realized that Ruan Cha was simply her nemesis.

Every time she tried to do anything, Ruan Cha would leave her with nothing to say.

It was infuriating to the point of madness.

But just then, the invigilating teacher came into the classroom with the exam papers. “What are you all doing gathered together? Hurry up and put things away, then sit according to the seating chart.”

She had no choice but to clench her fists.

And prepare for the exam according to the seating arrangement.

-

The two days of hellish exams passed in the blink of an eye.

On the day the tests ended, Ruan Cha received word that Cheng Xiuyan had come to Mo City.

After seeing the message, she sent Gu Zhenzhi a text telling him not to come pick her up anymore.

Once she had sent it and saw his reply of “Okay,” she arranged a meeting place with Cheng Xiuyan.

However, just as Ruan Cha was about to head there, the moment she walked out of the school gate she saw Cheng Xiuyan making a grand show of holding a bouquet of roses. He was dressed in a dark red shirt as thin as cicada wings, and when the wind blew, the faint lines of his abs were visible beneath it, making the girls nearby excited and thrilled.

Ruan Cha: “...”

He really had no shame.

How embarrassing.

She quickly pulled the small backpack off her back, brought it to the front, and held it up beside her face as she broke into a run toward the gate—

She had only taken a couple of steps when—

“Cha Cha~”

Just those two simple words were drawn out by him into something long, winding, and languid.

Ruan Cha stopped so abruptly she nearly tripped over herself.

She sped up and ran forward as if a flood and ferocious beasts were right behind her.

Unfortunately, Cheng Xiuyan was tall and long-legged. In just a few steps he caught up, stretched out one of those long legs, hooked her leg, and pulled her to his side.

He draped an arm over her shoulder. “Little Cha Cha, what are you running for?”

“Cheng Xiuyan, don’t make me hit you!”

Ruan Cha swung her fist without the slightest politeness. “Can you please keep a normal distance between friends?”

Cheng Xiuyan leaned in a little closer, those captivating eyes fixed on her until her heart tingled with a strange numbness. “Little Cha Cha, saying that hurts me. What do you mean by a normal distance between friends? Since when were we ever normal friends~”

Goosebumps rose all over Ruan Cha’s body.

She punched him.

“Disgusting.”

Cheng Xiuyan looked hurt and aggrieved. “Little Cha Cha, if you keep this up, my heart is going to break...”

“Shut up. How’s the investigation into my mother’s matter going?”

“Actually, there’s a real turn for the better this time.”

Once the two of them started talking about business, they walked side by side toward the car Cheng Xiuyan had parked by the school gate.

-

At the same time.

Inside another understated car parked near the school entrance, Chen Yan was sweating coldly.

He could only look at Gu Zhenzhi’s expression through the rearview mirror, and it was terrifying beyond words.

It was as if a ring of dense black mist had gathered around him.

“Mr. Gu, maybe there’s some misunderstanding here...”

Gu Zhenzhi gave a cold laugh, lowering his eyes to glance once more at the message Ruan Cha had sent him on his phone.

He had already arrived, and before he even had time to reply to the message, he had witnessed such a splendid scene.

Ruan Cha.

You really are something.
