Chapter 4 Zhou Huai, Come to My House
Seeing her expectant look, Zhou Huai took the initiative to explain.
"Liu Afu is Li Wenwei's number one follower from the next class. This guy is a complete lackey. He does whatever Li Wenwei does."
"Li Wenwei is also pursuing Chen Yao. She didn't even look at the expensive gifts he gave her, and returned them all untouched."
"But I bring her breakfast and lunch every day, and she accepts them and even thanks me. Because of this, Li Wenwei feels resentful."
"Yesterday he even brought some people to ambush me on the outer playground, but he ended up getting a good beating from me and A-Yi."
"No wonder I didn't see him today." Sun Yichang suddenly realized.
"Li Wenwei is indeed quite arrogant. He bullies other classmates every day because his family has some money."
When he was mentioned, Sun Yichang couldn't hide the disdain on her face.
Seeing her puffed-up face, Zhou Huai deliberately slowed down, reached out and gently poked her cheek, teasing her.
"Oh, I almost forgot, before Chen Yao transferred here last semester, he used to give you gifts all the time and fawn over you every day."
"Zhou Huai, do you believe I'll hit you right now?"
Sun Yichang blushed instantly, clenched her fists, raised her hand, and pretended to hit him.
"If you can catch me, I'll let you hit me."
Zhou Huai launched himself into the air and quickly stepped back a few paces to the side, creating distance between himself and Sun Yichang.
"You bastard, don't run! If I catch you, you're dead."
Sun Yichang immediately chased after him, and the two instantly started a fun game of chasing and running, stopping and starting at the same time.
The path outside the campus was filled with the laughter of the two.
The sunlight shone on them, outlining the vibrant figures of the young men and women.
After running for a short while, Sun Yichang deliberately slowed down and pretended to be out of breath.
Zhou Huai immediately stopped and obediently stood still, then she grabbed his arm.
Immediately afterwards, Sun Yichang's fists rained down on his chest.
Her fist was soft and weak, and she hadn't used much force.
But each time, Zhou Huai's heart raced.
"Are you still going to run away or not?"
"I'm not running anymore, Fishball, I surrender, I surrender."
He pretended to beg for mercy, but the moment Sun Yichang relaxed her guard, he reached out and pulled her into his arms.
A warm embrace pressed against the girl's back, the soft touch and the faint fragrance of Sun Yichang instantly filled Zhou Huai's senses.
She froze, her face instantly turning red, and even her breathing became erratic.
After regaining her senses, Sun Yichang quickly pushed Zhou Huai away and broke free from his embrace.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
Zhou Huai's lips curled up.
"Don't do that again. There are teachers near the school. If someone sees you, it will be hard to explain."
Her voice was barely audible. After speaking, she turned around, took a few steps forward, and created some distance between herself and the person.
"I know, I'm really sorry about earlier."
Zhou Huai obediently agreed and quickly apologized.
[System notification: Sun Yichang's current favorability value has increased from 60 to 65, with a cumulative reward of 2000 favorability coins.]
A crisp system notification sounded in Zhou Huai's head, and his eyes instantly lit up. He quickly asked in his mind, "Doubao, what are these favorability coins used for?"
[The player can purchase unlocked one-time-use items from the system shop.]
"Nice!"
The evening breeze gently caressed his face, and he smiled with great pride.
After walking for a while, Sun Yichang felt that the atmosphere was quite awkward because neither she nor Zhou Huai spoke, so she took the initiative to start a conversation.
"Zhou Huai, we don't have much meat and vegetables left at home. Let's go to the Meijiale Shopping Mall on Temple Street to buy some."
"Okay, let's go shopping together."
Zhou Huai's thoughts wandered, and he also missed the days when he used to play in Temple Street.
The two then walked into a narrow alley.
But they hadn't gone far when seven figures suddenly appeared and blocked their path.
These seven people all had dyed hair of various colors, and they were holding wooden sticks in their hands, staring at Zhou Huai with hostile eyes.
Zhou Huai reached out and shielded the startled Sun Yichang behind him, taking a small step forward. "Hey guys, what's going on?"
"So your name is Zhou Huai?"
The leader, a blond thug with a cigarette dangling from his lips, squinted at Zhou Huai, looking him up and down with an extremely arrogant tone.
Zhou Huai pretended to look blank and asked tentatively, "You must have made a mistake. My name isn't Zhou Huai, it's Li Wenwei."
"You think you can fool us? The person who hired us is called Li Wenwei."
Without a second thought, the blond-haired man immediately exposed the employer.
[Urgent mission now issued:
Zhou Huai was taken aback. There were seven people on the other side, all carrying wooden sticks. Their fighting strength was much stronger than Li Wenwei's students and followers. How come the mission difficulty was the lowest level, D?
However, he quickly realized that the goal was not to defeat them head-on, but to break free from their encirclement.
I just got the Wind Speed Shoes, so I can test their power.
"Kid, we'll give you two choices: either fight us one-on-one, or let us gang up on you. Choose one."
The blond-haired man had ill intentions.
"Then step back a little, let me tie my shoelaces first."
"Hmph, hurry up and tie her up, don't try anything funny."
Huang Mao, unsuspecting, actually took a step back and waited with his arms crossed.
Zhou Huai crouched down, quickly turned around, and gave Sun Yichang a wink.
She instantly understood what Zhou Huai meant, and immediately leaned on his back, gripping his shoulders tightly with both hands.
The next second, Zhou Huai suddenly stood up, picked up Sun Yichang, and ran away.
"Damn it, this kid's trying to run away! Go after him!"
After realizing what was happening, the blond-haired man chased after the girl while shouting.
He brandished the wooden stick in his hand, and the other thugs followed suit.
Feeling the soft touch from behind and smelling the delicate fragrance emanating from Sun Yichang, Zhou Huai felt that his life had reached its most beautiful state.
He didn't run at full speed, but controlled his speed, maintaining a relatively stable distance from the seven thugs, neither letting them catch up nor leaving them too far behind.
"Zhou Huai, put me down, I'll run with you, that way we can go faster."
Seeing that she hadn't been able to shake off the group of thugs, Sun Yichang was very worried.
"Don't worry, Fish Ball, the South City Police Station is at the end of this alley."
Zhou Huai turned and glanced at her, then softly comforted her.
"Zhou Huai, you're so smart!"
Sun Yichang's eyes lit up, her worries vanished instantly, and her eyes were filled with admiration.
[System notification: Sun Yichang's current favorability rating has increased from 65 to 68.]
It's a pity that God didn't want it.
One of the thugs, with purple hair, suddenly quickened his pace, ran to the yellow-haired guy's side, and whispered, "Yellow-haired boss, stop chasing, the South City Police Station is ahead."
Huang Mao stopped and glared fiercely in the direction Zhou Huai had fled, cursing through gritted teeth.
"Damn, that kid can run so fast while carrying someone on his back, that's weird!"
Seeing that the seven thugs had not chased after them, Zhou Huai finally put Sun Yichang down.
Her cheeks flushed slightly as she looked at Zhou Huai.
"Zhou Huai, aren't you tired? You carried me for so long just now."
"No, I run to school every day."
Zhou Huai smiled and waved his hand.
Although the wind-speed shoes would increase his energy consumption by 50% while running, Zhou Huai did not use his full strength just now, but maintained his normal running speed.
As a result, physical exertion was reduced by 25%.
"You're afraid of being late and the security guard won't let you into the school, so you run here every day, right?"
Sun Yichang rolled her eyes at him.
After saying that, she turned around and walked straight toward the convenience store not far away.
"Fishball, are you going to buy something?"
Zhou Huai quickly followed.
"I'll buy you a bottle of water."
Sun Yichang turned around and smiled at him, her eyes crinkling like blooming peach blossoms.
"Thanks."
Looking at her smiling face, Zhou Huai felt a warmth in his heart and smiled along with her.
"Don't be polite with me."
Sun Yichang pretended to be angry, walked to the refrigerator in the convenience store, and reached out to open the refrigerator door.
A cool breeze instantly wafted out of the refrigerator, dispelling some of the summer heat.
"Okay, you're welcome."
Zhou Huai's gaze fell tenderly on her.
"Zhou Huai, what would you like to drink?"
Sun Yichang looked down and rummaged through the refrigerator, asking without turning her head.
"I want iced black tea; it tastes best when it's chilled."
"Okay, I also like iced tea."
As Sun Yichang spoke, she reached into the refrigerator and took out two bottles of iced tea, then turned and handed one to Zhou Huai.
"Fish balls, buying one bottle for 4 yuan is much cheaper than buying two bottles for 3 yuan each. Why did you take two bottles?"
Zhou Huai looked at the iced tea in his hand and teased him, his eyes full of laughter.
Sun Yichang's cheeks flushed instantly, and she lowered her head somewhat embarrassed.
"You can drink first."
Zhou Huai smiled even more brightly, deliberately teasing her.
"Then I'll drink a whole bottle, so you won't get a single drop."
Sun Yichang took the iced tea that Zhou Huai handed back, put it back along with the bottle she was holding, and replaced it with a one-liter bottle.
Meanwhile, not far away, two people were secretly watching them.
