Zhuang Nuo lowered his head and kicked the edge of the steps with his white shoes.
"What's wrong with you?" Su Li chuckled and flicked her forehead.
Zhuang Nuo covered her forehead. "No, I don't want to go to school."
Su Li frowned.
He had a pair of captivating eyes that looked affectionate at everything, but they were also paired with a pair of heroic, sword-like eyebrows.
When someone's face darkens, it's easy for others to think they're unhappy.
Afraid of making him angry, Zhuang Nuo pretended to be obedient, "My parents said that we don't lack money, so it doesn't matter if I don't go to school."
"fool!"
Su Li snorted coldly, "Those who bullied you all got into university. Are you happy about that?"
Zhuang Nuo lowered his head and remained silent.
She no longer has the courage to resist.
Su Li didn't actually want to blame her. Seeing her shifty eyes and forced composure, Su Li put her hands in her pockets, sighed, and said, "Fine, I'll take you to vent your anger today."
Su Li hasn't just been playing with her these past few days; he's also been investigating what happened to her at school, and the people she wrote about in her diary have all been matched up in real life.
Zhuang Nuo may not even know why she was being bullied.
The He family in Jiangbei has a daughter named He Jiaxin, who is the same age as Zhuang Nuo.
Her father is a university professor, and her mother is a full-time stay-at-home mom; the family is well-off.
He Jiaxin's parents were very strict with her education, requiring her to learn everything and do everything to the best of her ability from a young age.
He Jiaxin appears to be well-behaved, but in reality, she is very stubborn and domineering.
Why bully Zhuang Nuo? The root of the problem actually dates back to when Zhuang Nuo was in the newspaper when he was a child.
He Jiaxin also participated in that large-scale cultural performance in the city, and she had a solo dance.
But in the end, Zhuang Nuo's piano solo was more outstanding and even made it into the newspaper.
After returning home, He Jiaxin was scolded by her parents, who often compared her to Zhuang Nuo.
Over time, He Jiaxin began to resent Zhuang Nuo.
Zhuang Nuo transferred back to the capital during high school, placing him in the position of an "outsider." Under He Jiaxin's leadership, he was quickly isolated.
Ironically, Zhuang Nuo was forced to drop out of school because of her, but she is now holding a graduation banquet at the Great Wall Hotel.
When Su Li brought Zhuang Nuo to the Great Wall Hotel, the first thing they saw upon entering was the water feature fountain and green pond in the middle of the hotel's high atrium.
Su Li clicked her tongue and turned to Zhuang Nuo, saying, "This place is nice, don't you think?"
Zhuang Nuo felt a little uneasy, as if he was about to do something big.
He Jiaxin's college admission banquet was held in the Peony Hall, the largest hall on the first floor of the Great Wall Hotel. A welcome sign stood at the entrance, which read "Congratulations to He Jiaxin on her successful college entrance examination" in regular script.
There were eight or nine tables set up in the hall, and the guests sat in twos and threes, chatting and exchanging pleasantries, creating a lively atmosphere.
He Jiaxin wore a new red dress and stood beside her parents, accepting the congratulations from the guests with a graceful smile, just like a lady.
Su Li held Zhuang Nuo's hand and stood at the entrance of the hall, not going any further inside.
He smiled at the waitress in the red vest at the door and said, "Sister, I'm looking for He Jiaxin. Could you please ask her to come out for me?"
The waiter nodded and went inside.
A moment later, He Jiaxin walked to the door with a glass of orange juice, a sweet and gentle smile on her face.
Her gaze lingered on Su Li's face for a moment.
He had just come in from under the scorching sun, and a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, which, combined with his handsome features, gave him a surprisingly vibrant and alluring air.
He Jiaxin's smile deepened, and she tilted her head slightly. "Who are you?"
Su Li didn't speak, but pulled Zhuang Nuo out from behind her.
The smile on He Jiaxin's face vanished instantly.
She set the orange juice aside, slightly raising her chin. "Zhuang Nuo? Long time no see. You have time to attend my graduation celebration?"
Zhuang Nuo froze.
Upon hearing He Jiaxin's voice, a cold sweat instantly broke out on her back, and she bit her lower lip, unable to utter a single word.
Su Li tightened her grip on her hand, subtly shielding Zhuang Nuo behind her. "He Jiaxin, I heard you used to bully Zhuang Nuo?"
He Jiaxin paused for a moment, then covered her mouth and laughed, which sounded particularly jarring.
"Zhuang Nuo told you? I knew it! She's a tattletale. The classmates were just playing around with her, but who knew she'd be such a sore loser?"
"What you call 'playing around' means deliberately splashing water on her and tearing her clothes?"
He Jiaxin's parents were right behind her, along with many relatives and friends, as well as her father's colleagues. Not wanting to make a scene here, she lowered her voice and said, "That's all in the past. She's dropped out of school now, and we've all graduated from high school. Who's going to hold onto those old high school stories?"
Su Li narrowed her eyes slightly. "So you admit you did it?"
"So what if she did it?" He Jiaxin said impatiently. "She's fine now, isn't she still standing here peacefully?"
"Be good, stand over there and watch." Su Li turned around, raised her hand to smooth Zhuang Nuo's hair, her tone incredibly gentle.
"Su Li..."
Zhuang Nuo sensed something and tried to take his hand, but Su Li pushed her aside.
Before He Jiaxin could react, Su Li had already grabbed his wrist and dragged him toward the central courtyard.
He Jiaxin stumbled a few steps, her high heels screeching on the hotel's marble floor. "What do you want to do! Let me go!"
Su Li ignored her and strode to the fountain.
The Great Wall Hotel's indoor fountain is famous in the capital. The central atrium has a huge skylight with an artificial pool in the middle, surrounded by many small fountains, as well as artificial hills and a Chinese-style hexagonal glazed pavilion.
The artificial pool is lined with smooth granite, and the water is about calf-deep for an adult.
The hotel also features four glass sightseeing elevators, offering panoramic views of the fountain as the elevators travel up and down.
Now, Su Li thinks this design is really good.
With a flick of his wrist, he pushed He Jiaxin directly into the pool.
"what!"
With a "plop," water splashed everywhere.
He Jiaxin fell into the pool, her red dress instantly soaked and clinging to her body.
Her carefully styled half-tied princess hairstyle had come undone, leaving her looking disheveled.
He Jiaxin was going crazy.
She climbed out of the water and was about to walk out when Su Li came over and pushed her back in.
After she came out again, Su Li pushed her back in.
After going back and forth several times, He Jiaxin got so angry that she started cursing loudly in the pool, hurling all sorts of foul language.
The commotion in the hall finally attracted attention.
The crowd formed a circle around them, but Su Li remained standing there, ignoring He Jiaxin's tantrums and refusing to let her out.
As the crowd grew larger, He Jiaxin's parents, relatives, and classmates finally heard the commotion and rushed over.
"Jiaxin!" Mrs. He exclaimed, rushing over to pull her daughter out. "What happened! Who pushed you in here?!"
"Mom, it's him! It's him! Call the police! Arrest him!"
He's father and relatives surrounded Su Li.
