Chasing You Like a Tenacious Falcon

Chapter 16

Wei Shixu stood behind her, looking down at her with lowered eyes.

Quan Zhisui always felt his way of looking at people was strange. Perhaps it was because of his height advantage that he had to look down, but it was more like the attitude of someone superior looking at kittens and puppies - full of charity and toying, which made people very uncomfortable.

She was not a little animal.

"Why didn't you ask me for it?"

Wei Shixu asked again, then added, "The class leader's papers are all written on, you have to photocopy it again and pick out the questions, isn't that troublesome?"

Zhuge Ying retorted, "Although it’s written on and I have to pick out questions, each wrong question has an analysis next to it, and I have a wrong topic collection with detailed solutions."

More detailed than yours.

There were another four words she didn't dare say.

Wei Shixu said, "Is your wrong topic collection useful to her?"

The wrong topic collection of a top student is like hieroglyphics to a failing transfer student who didn't even attend all the classes.

Zhuge Ying wanted to continue saying something, but couldn't think of a rebuttal for the moment.

Quan Zhisui looked at Wei Shixu and then at Zhuge Ying. Alright, they were arguing now.

She didn’t know what to say.

Wei Shixu looked at her again, "My papers are clean and the books are new too, saving you the step of photocopying."

Zhuge Ying: "......"

Quan Zhisui was very surprised, "You don't need it anymore? The book."

Wei Shixu said, "I don't need it. Come get it at my house this weekend."

Quan Zhisui said, "You're actually quite nice."

Sometimes nice, sometimes mean.

Zhuge Ying shrugged silently beside her, just short of rolling her eyes.

Kong Mingze didn't know when he had slipped over, "Quan Zhisui, you're going to Wei Shixu's house this weekend? I want to go too, I want to go too!"

Wei Shixu didn't hide his caring gaze towards the intellectually disabled.

Zhuge Ying raised an eyebrow and smiled.

Quan Zhisui didn't know what to say.

Kong Mingze came up with an idea out of the blue, "Since this is the case, let's go to my family's restaurant after school on Friday. I'll treat you to hot pot. After eating, we can go to Wei Shixu's house to hang out!"

Zhuge Ying raised her hand, "I'll go for the hot pot."

Kong Mingze said enthusiastically, "Welcome, welcome! Quan Zhisui you must come eat hot pot too. My family's hot pot secret recipe is the best in Liangxi Town! There's a branch near the school. Wei Shixu, let your family driver know, we'll walk over!"

The class bell rang and the four returned to their seats.

Just like that, their weekend plans were fully arranged by Kong Mingze in just a few sentences.

Quan Zhisui swore in her heart.

......

In the afternoon classes, Quan Zhisui still struggled through.

Kong Mingze slept soundly. Not until the end of school bell rang did he lazily get up from the desk and dart to the front row in one step.

"Wei Shixu, let's eat! Come eat dinner with me!"

Seeing the two walk past shoulder to shoulder, Zhou Chun stood still at the window. A touch of sweetness appeared on the corner of her mouth, like a heavy rock had been lifted from her heart.

In fact, she used to hate Kong Mingze very much. He didn't study hard and occupied Wei Shixu's time all day. Also, Kong Mingze was famously a nouveau riche in Liangxi Town. She heard his parents were uneducated.

Whenever there was a chance, Zhou Chun would tell Wei Shixu to be careful in making friends, especially with people like Kong Mingze. They were from completely different worlds than top students like themselves.

But Wei Shixu would always look at her with a vague smile.

She didn't understand what he meant either.

But now Zhou Chun was glad that annoying Kong Mingze was by Wei Shixu's side.

No matter what, Wei Shixu spent his days fooling around with Kong Mingze every day. That transfer student was just a seasoning in his life and wouldn't make big waves.

Zhou Chun walked out of the classroom with a smile, but ran straight into Zhuge Ying and Quan Zhisui walking side by side.

The top scorers were acquainted with each other. Zhuge Ying politely nodded to her as a greeting.

Zhou Chun's smile faded as she coldly passed between the two, quickly moving towards the stairs.

Zhuge Ying didn't take it to heart. After all, they weren't in the same class.

Quan Zhisui even less so. She didn't even recognize Zhou Chun.

The school buildings were U-shaped with classrooms on three sides and a basketball court built in the middle open space.

Zhuge Ying looked down and said, "Kong Mingze doesn't go to evening self-study. He plays basketball here until 9pm every day."

Quan Zhisui was puzzled.

Zhuge Ying shrugged, "I don't understand either."

Quan Zhisui asked, "He sleeps through classes and the teachers don't care. If he really doesn't like studying, why doesn't he do something else? Anything's better than wasting time."

Zhuge Ying paused, then asked, "Don't you find their relationship a bit strange?"

"Huh?" Quan Zhisui was startled by her sudden change of topic.

"Kong Mingze and Wei Shixu," Zhuge Ying reminded.

Quan Zhisui thought about it and nodded, "Yes, it's not like they're close friends, but they seem closer than with others."

Most people would react violently if someone was chattering in their ear all day, given Wei Shixu's personality.

Zhuge Ying gave a cold smile, "They've been like this since junior high. Everyone says Kong Mingze is Young Master Wei's study companion and bodyguard."

Quan Zhisui was shocked, "So Kong Mingze plays basketball until evening to accompany Wei Shixu for evening self-study?"

Zhuge Ying said, "Maybe, who knows."

Quan Zhisui's mind wandered as she asked, "Does he get paid? Like an actual study companion?"

Zhuge Ying's expression was strange, "As far as I know, Wei Shixu never gives Kong Mingze money. On the contrary, it's always Kong Mingze treating Wei Shixu to things."

Quan Zhisui: "......"

Their conversation ended as they reached the school gate. The car that picked up Quan Zhisui had been waiting for some time already.

"Young Miss, school must have been tiring." Zhao Lin got out of the car, rushed over to grab her bag, opened the car door, and even bowed. He still had time to bow.

Quan Zhisui bid her companion goodbye with a wave of her hand, "See you tomorrow, class leader."

Zhuge Ying's eyes were wide open, then she suddenly slapped her forehead.

Wow!

In one class there were two powerful families and an ultra nouveau riche. Were there really so many rich people concentrated in Liangxi Town?

Many students were around, flooding out of school, so Quan Zhisui's identity as a rich young miss couldn't be hidden!

Across the street, Zhou Chun stood frozen in place, shocked to see Quan Zhisui get into an insanely expensive luxury car.

She had only seen two people ride in cars so nice prior to this.

One was the widely recognized school heartthrob Wei Shixu. He boarded at school but went home every weekend, usually picked up by two identical limited edition Rolls Royces, complete with a bunch of bodyguards - very high profile.

The other was the arrogant new first year Zuo Zichen. She heard his family also had two luxury cars that he alternated between daily.

One of them was a Bentley. Zhou Chun recognized the Bentley logo because of Zuo Zichen.

Yet how could Quan Zhisui, a transfer student with grades so bad they were shocking, have this?!
