Chapter 50: Fu su Throws a Tantrum
“But how did you come to Beijing?” Yuling looked at me in confusion. I continued with a straight face,
“I came for training in Beijing, it’s free, hehe. Today is just too coincidental, I’m actually tired. Is there something to eat?”
“Yes! Come, come!” Everyone pushed me inside, and someone mischievously smirked at Chen Zihan, “Zihan, Xiaolan is here, why aren’t you greeting her?”
See, sometimes guys can be so annoying.
Zihan stood there awkwardly for a moment, then walked towards me. “Who said that? Xiaolan is my most important guest today.” He naturally placed his hands on my shoulder like good buddies and pushed me into the living room.
Fu su’s gaze beneath the mask immediately drew a cold smile. “Hmph, looks like you’re quite fond of him~~~ Did you strip off your clothes when you saw your secret crush?”
I glanced elsewhere, pretending not to care. What if I unleashed my powers on him? What’s it to you? As I looked away, I happened to catch Yuling staring at Chen Zihan behind me, her gaze fixed on his hand on my shoulder.
My heart skipped a beat, and I instinctively turned away from Chen Zihan, looking at someone else. “What’s with all of you? Are you afraid that the world won’t be chaotic enough? You’re just jealous of their talent and beauty! You single dogs.” As I spoke, I pulled the dazed Yuling back to Chen Zihan’s side, and everyone slumped onto the living room sofa, feeling defeated. “Xiaolan exposed us, and someone was even thinking of using this opportunity to break them up~~”
Everyone said half-jokingly, but their gazes were clearly meaningful.
Are there fewer people who secretly admire the school’s heartthrobs and beauties? Only the outsiders are unaware, but who here hasn’t cursed them in their hearts, hoping for their relationship to end so they can make a move?
“Stop teasing each other!” Chen Zihan picked up a pillow and started hitting everyone with it, with Yuling laughing beside him.
As I watched everyone playfully, I felt like I was back in a normal human life. The difference between mortal life and the immortal realm is truly vast. Mortals are bothered by nothing more than money and love, but what troubles the immortal realm? Ghosts causing trouble here, demons running wild there, and if you don’t get married, you become a mortal! This contrast made it difficult for me to adapt, creating a strange sense of confusion.
Just as I immersed myself in this normal and grounded feeling, Fu su, wearing a black mask, ominously floated past me, reminding me that the immortal realm is indeed real, and this miscreant Fu su exists cruelly.
Seeing him, I suddenly felt that failing the college entrance exam meant nothing. What does it matter if the guy I have a crush on likes another girl? Life in the immortal realm is much more cruel, more real, and more sinister!
Fu su floated around leisurely, even casually grabbing a bottle of cola, giving me a meaningful look, and then floated towards the garden outside the living room.
I looked at Chen Zihan. “Can I take a look around? I’ve never seen a luxurious mansion before.”
“Of course, of course.” The other classmates also got excited. “His brother-in-law’s mansion is amazing! We have to bask in its glory!”
Zihan smiled at me. “Sure, I’ll show you around.”
I immediately waved my hand. “No need, no need. You stay with them. Otherwise, they’ll start talking nonsense again, and it’ll make Lingling uncomfortable.”
As I spoke, I left, walking out of the living room and into the garden next to it. The garden had a huge swimming pool.
I looked inside and found a spot where no one could see me. From there, I watched Fu su lounging on a sunbed by the pool, leisurely sipping his cola. He had his arms crossed and was coldly looking at me. “What did you call me out here for?”
He continued sipping his cola, casually crossing his legs, and lightly resting his hand on his forehead to maintain his most handsome image. “To remind you that personal emotions should not interfere with the mission.”
“Haha.” I chuckled as I sat down on the sunbed beside him. “I would never let that happen.”
“I see, maybe~~~ you’re so excited when you look at Chen Zihan, like a fool in love.” He sneered in a strange tone.
I smirked coldly, “What’s the matter? Jealous, huh? So many fools in the immortal realm like you, and I didn’t like you, so you’re feeling down, aren’t you?” Fu su is the type of guy who rejects the girls who like him and pretends to be disgusted, but secretly hopes that all the goddesses in the realm will love him.
His eyes narrowed beneath the black mask, and he was immediately enveloped in cold air. “Where’s your phone?” he asked coldly.
I covered my bag, watching him warily. “What do you want to do?”
“Stop babbling! Give it to me!” He suddenly stood up and tried to grab my bag. I immediately said, “Be careful, someone might see you!”
He paused for a moment, a wicked smile forming beneath the black mask, but his gaze was directed behind me.
“Xiaolan, who are you talking to?”
==!!! Damn Fusu is intentionally framing me! He’s a god, how could he not know someone is approaching? He’s deliberately making me look like a delusional lunatic!
I stiffly turned around and saw Chen Zihan walking towards me with a drink in his hand. I forced a smile and said, “I was making a phone call. By the way, when is your brother-in-law coming back?”
“Oh, probably tonight. Why don’t you leave your number with me, and I’ll give it to my brother-in-law so he can contact you tomorrow?” Chen Zihan asked with concern.
Tomorrow? I can’t stand another moment with Fu su, okay? I have to spend the night with him? Just let me die right now!
“Here.” He handed me the drink, and I took it with a smile. “I’ll wait a bit longer. Tomorrow has its own affairs.”
“Isn’t that difficult for you?” Chen Zihan’s concerned eyes still carried the innocence and naivety of a student. When we said goodbye, we were still high school students, but suddenly we’re in college, and it feels like something has changed. The relationship between Yuling and him, as boyfriend and girlfriend, feels… more mature, it’s an indescribable sense of change.
I shrugged. “It’s okay.” Suddenly, Fu su’s hand had already reached into my bag, and I held his hand trying to enter my bag. “It’s just that the leader is despicable.”
“Slap!” Fu su slapped the back of my head, and I jerked forward. “Ah!”
“What’s wrong, Xiaolan?” Chen Zihan worriedly crouched down in front of me, reaching out to touch my head. The close proximity made my heart race for a moment, even though I no longer liked him as much, but he was someone I used to have a crush on, so I can’t help but have fleeting thoughts.
Suddenly, someone grabbed my hand and directly struck the hand that Chen Zihan used to touch my head. “Slap!” Chen Zihan’s hand was pushed away by me, and he was momentarily stunned.
I stiffened, and Fu su released my hand and grabbed my head with a claw, leaning close to my face and sneering, “Fool~~~ You came down this time for a mission, not to get close to your old lover!” His tone suddenly turned wicked, and he grabbed my ear, “Don’t want any credits anymore?”
Fu su!!! I really want to “pounce” on him and use all my thorns to kill him!
Chen Zihan looked at his hand, “Xiaolan, what’s wrong with you? Is it because of me… having a girlfriend that you’ve been distancing yourself from me?” His face turned slightly to the side, showing a hint of embarrassment.
I also feel awkward. Even though Fu su didn’t open his hand to touch my head, I would still avoid it. Although this kind of concern is normal between friends, now that he has a girlfriend, it feels strange to me too. I raised my fist and playfully punched him, saying, “Come on~~ Don’t overthink it. Ah, let’s go inside and have fun.”
“Sure.” He smiled too. Even though after entering the immortal realm, he couldn’t match any of the guys there, not even Qingming, who always had a green face, but in my heart, he was still the most handsome guy I had ever seen.
“Someone is being jealous~~ They’re like a bystander, looking at someone else’s pot.” Fu su reclined on the lounge chair and disdainfully said in a strange tone, “Hmm, you’re blind to like him~~~~”
Naturally, I ignored Fu su. He never had anything good to say and always found pleasure in belittling and mocking others.
After returning with Chen Zihan, people started gossiping about us. They said Chen Zihan abandoned Yuling to come find me. These people are always afraid that the world won’t be chaotic enough, and making jokes is the worst. Their jealousy is so obvious that the whole room is filled with it. Look, Yuling’s smile is becoming more and more awkward.
In the evening, everyone left, but Yuling stayed. Those guys continued making jokes, reeking of jealousy.
“Zihan, don’t get too tired tonight.”
“Remember to watch ‘You Are the Apple of My Eye’ with Xiaolan~~~”
“Get lost!” I couldn’t hold back anymore. They had made Yuling’s face turn green with their comments. “Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking. We, the underachievers, are the most well-informed in our circle. Do you want me to expose who you guys have a secret crush on?”
Immediately, they fell silent, awkwardly chuckled, and left.
I turned to look at the embarrassed Yuling. “Don’t pay attention to them. They envy, resent, and hate. They just want to see your relationship fall apart for their own entertainment.”
“Xiaolan, you’re still so righteous.” Chen Zihan smiled at me, but Yuling’s face darkened.
It must be because of the jokes they made earlier that upset Yuling.
I immediately said, “Do you mind if I wait for your sister and brother-in-law?”
Zihan smiled, “Of course not. I have a game you like here. Do you want to play?”
I glanced at Yuling, who seemed a bit impatient, and waved my hand, “No need, no need. I’ll just wait in the living room.” I immediately went to sit in the living room.
“Then let me tidy up a bit. Yuling, sit here and keep Xiaolan company.” Chen Zihan said like a host.
Then, Yuling sat on the couch next to me, and I sat there, feeling foolish while waiting. Fu su suddenly sat down beside me, and the atmosphere became awkward. Yuling kept looking at her phone and didn’t say a word to me.
I am good friends with Chen Zihan, but not with her. Our relationship is merely that of classmates in the same class. Yuling used to be excellent in science, but she chose the humanities just to be in the same class as Chen Zihan. We never really talked.
Just like now, she’s playing with her phone, leaving me sitting there awkwardly on my own.
