The woman wasn't wearing much. In the February weather, under her thin coat was just a small bustier, and a mini - skirt below that. Her bare thighs looked cold!
She wrapped her arm around Su Ziqi's and eyed Su Rou with hostility. Experience told her that this young girl must have an influence on Su Ziqi. It was the first time she'd seen Su Ziqi speak in such a cautious tone. Could this girl named Xiaorou be the one Su Ziqi liked?
"Are you... on a date?" Su Rou saw the woman's look, which made it seem as if she was disturbing their date.
"No." Su Ziqi flung the woman's arm away. "I'm not on a date."
The woman stumbled a bit as she was flung off - balance by the sudden movement. Wearing high heels, she stared at Su Ziqi. "What do you mean!"
"Shut up!" Su Ziqi snapped at the woman, then turned to Su Rou. "Xiaorou, I actually..."
Su Rou waved her hand. "I get it. I won't tell anyone." It seemed that Brother Ziqi still couldn't kick his playboy ways. It was Wednesday today. He should have been at work in the company, right?
"I said I..." Su Ziqi knew that Su Rou must have misunderstood. It didn't matter if others saw, but he didn't want Su Rou to misunderstand.
Su Rou didn't wait for him to finish. Instead, she gave him an understanding smile. "I'll go back to school first." With that, without waiting for Su Ziqi's reaction, she walked around them. She remembered that Su Yuze had warned her to stay away from Su Ziqi. Looking at Su Ziqi's company, Su Rou thought it was indeed better to keep her distance.
Su Ziqi watched her retreating back and suddenly felt that his attempt at an explanation was kind of stupid. He pursed his lips and impatiently flung the woman's arm away again. "What do you want? We're over. Why the hell are you still pestering me!"
The woman bit her lip, her eyes filled with tears. "Do you think I'm a promiscuous woman? I'm serious about you!" Come on, Su Ziqi was the young master of the Su family and now worked in the Su Corporation. Maybe one day the whole company would be his. It would be stupid not to latch onto this cash - cow!
Su Ziqi was most annoyed by this kind of clingy woman. He ran his fingers through his hair impatiently, took out a check from his pocket, filled in the amount, and stuffed it into the woman's hand. "Don't... come... bother... me... anymore!"
The woman grabbed the check in her hand, biting her lip and looking at Su Ziqi with a pitiful expression. "Ziqi..."
"Listen, you're just a copy. Don't even think about getting more from me!"
A copy? Of whom? That girl just now?
Just as Su Rou reached the school gate, she saw Su Yuze's car already parked there. "Why are you here so early?"
"I was about to ask you. Didn't you say you'd wait for me at the gate?" It turned out this little girl was late. "What's up? Did the teacher find out you skipped class?"
"No, I was just... taking a walk on the school path." Su Rou wanted to say she'd been outside, but if she did, Su Yuze would surely ask more questions.
Su Yuze didn't think too much about it. He carefully fastened her seatbelt and handed her a cup of warm black tea. "Are you feeling stressed in your senior year of high school?"
Su Rou held the warm tea and took a sip. "Not really. The teachers are very considerate. There are even students who don't come to school for several days." She'd heard on the Internet that some senior - year students got depressed because of the college entrance exam pressure. Maybe the teachers were just being kind to them poor senior students.
"Then you can study at home." Su Yuze suggested after hearing that.
Su Rou thought for a moment. "No, thanks."
"Okay..."
...
Su Rou quickly forgot about seeing Su Ziqi that day. But unexpectedly, a week later, a group of people suddenly showed up at the school gate. They all had a non - mainstream, "killer - style" look, both boys and girls. Standing together, they looked like they were about to start a fight.
A boy arrogantly had a cigarette in his mouth. He blew out a smoke ring and said to the leading woman in front, "Lulu, we've been waiting here for two days, but we haven't seen the girl you described!"
The woman named Lulu was the same one who had pestered Su Ziqi on the street that day. Today, she was dressed like a young delinquent. As she lit a cigarette for herself, she said, "We haven't found her after two days!"
"You didn't even tell us her name. How can we find her? Besides, your description was way too abstract!"
Lulu took a puff of her cigarette. "Damn it, I'm going to find her today!"
"Go into the school?" the non - mainstream boy asked.
"Where else?"
"We've all graduated for several years." Going back to school might not be appropriate.
Lulu snorted. "If you guys won't go, I'll go alone." With that, she threw the cigarette butt away and swaggered into the school gate.
The companions behind exchanged glances and then followed Lulu into the school.
As Lulu walked in, she thought the students everywhere looked so young. Their looks were kind of strange, and some were even whispering. Lulu rolled her eyes at them. Her goal today wasn't these kids but that rival in love!
"Lulu, these brats' looks are really asking for a beating!"
"Yeah!!" Someone beside agreed.
Lulu waved her hand. "Don't worry about that. I'm here to find someone!"
"Tsk!" The non - mainstream kids glared at the surrounding students reluctantly. "But the school is so big. Where do we look?"
"I don't even know which grade that girl is in..." Lulu pursed her lips. "It's noon now. Let's go to the cafeteria first."
Su Rou rarely ate in the cafeteria. She didn't like the food there, but she had the habit of taking a walk after meals. She was walking towards the grove with two of her girlfriends while chatting.
Before they'd even walked halfway, they saw several oddly - dressed boys and girls coming towards them. Xiao Yun looked disgusted. "I hate non - mainstream, killer - style people the most in my life!"
Yu Fei nodded in agreement. "I second that!"
Su Rou also felt a bit repulsed. She just couldn't understand why those non - mainstream people liked to cover one side of their face with their bangs and pretend to be melancholy. But the leading woman in front looked kind of familiar. Wasn't she the woman who had been on a date with Su Ziqi that day? Was she also a student at this school?
"Wow, they're coming!" Xiao Yun said. "Why doesn't the school security do something? They let anyone in!"
"Shh, they're here!" Yu Fei nudged Xiao Yun's arm and whispered.
Lulu saw Su Rou from afar. She'd never forget that face! "That's her!" Lulu pointed at the girl walking in the middle. "Come on, let's go!"
