nThe man sat down and said, “I thought you didn’t know what self-defense is.”

nWhether it was the first meeting or the second meeting, she was harmless in appearance. Only this time, she began to learn how to protect herself.

nHidden beneath her smile, her strength was not obvious and couldn’t be found easily if you didn’t carefully look for it.

n“Barking dogs seldom bite.” Ming Shu smiled. The defensiveness disappeared, giving others a feeling of peace.

nMing Shu took out a bag of egg rolls and opened it.

nThe boy student looked Ming Shu up and down and deliberately moved closer to Ming Shu. “Do you mean you can bite people?”

nThey got closer to each other and Ming Shu held her egg rolls tightly without thought. Why did you scoot closer to me? Do you want to take away my snacks?

nThe boy student laughed at Ming Shu’s behavior. Why did this girl resemble a food-protecting cat?

nMing Shu moved to the side, asking, “Do I know you?”

n“People meet for the first time, then get to know each other on the second time, and make friends on the third time. Did you know we’ve met for the third time now?”

n“Friend? Who wants to be your friend? Do you think you’re a celestial being?” Ming Shu moved further away, showing her dislike. I never make friends with people I don’t know.

nThe boy student wasn’t annoyed and reminded her, “Lu Meng, the people you were looking at left.”

nMing Shu looked over to the lake, finding that Jin Yuqi really had left. Only that boy student who was drawing remained.

nHolding her egg rolls, Ming Shu stood up and followed Jin Yuqi to the grove. The boy student who spoke with Ming Shu just now stayed for a while, watching the boy student beside the lake with a smile.

nWhen the boy student found Ming Shu again, she was eating egg rolls, squatting next to the passed-out Jin Yuqi.

nHearing the footsteps, she looked up. “Can’t you stop? Why did you follow me?”

n“Did you kill her?” The boy student stopped walking, looking at Jin Yuqi lying on the ground.

n“Do you think I look like a murderer?” Ming Shu pointed at herself with an egg roll, then quickly took it back and put it in her mouth, eating it.

nThe boy student couldn’t help laughing. Gesturing at Jin Yuqi with his chin, he asked, “Well, what are you preparing to do?”

n“Does what I’m preparing to do have anything to do with you?” Why he is so annoying?

n“Now I’m a witness. How about I call the police?”

n“Oh.” I didn’t kill anyone. Call the police if you want. I would only be considered for hurting a classmate and put in jail for several days at most. When I get out, I’m still a hero. I’m not afraid of that.

n“…” Her response doesn’t comply with common sense!

nIsn’t she going to negotiate with me?

nWhy is she eating so calmly?

nThe boy student felt troubled for the first time, because Ming Shu was not only interesting but also a difficult conundrum to solve.

n“Lu Meng, did you have any trouble with her before?” The boy student tried to be close to Ming Shu.

nBut Ming Shu only squinted at him, a slight smile on her face. “If I hadn’t had any trouble with her, would I be having a party with her now?”

nHe is so annoying.

nI’ll kidnap him too if he’s going to talk all the time.

nHer voice was gentle, but the man heard mockery in her words.

n“Lu Meng, actually I can help you.”

n“What’s your purpose?” Fuck. I knew he had ulterior motives. He must want to kill me so that he can inherit my snacks.

nThe boy student smiled, his voice filling the quiet grove. “Lu Meng, I have no motivation. I just think that you’re funny and want to help you… En, I think you need help.”

nFunny?

nWhat the **?

nAm I for you to play with?

nAm I something you can do for fun?

nMindless!

n“Are you going or not?” Ming Shu pointed at the man with an egg roll, then took it back to eat after only a second and pointed at him with her finger instead. “I’ll call the police if you don’t leave.”

nYou have delayed me. You’re so annoying.

nThe boy student felt confused. Why do you want to call the police?

nUnder the boy student’s confused gaze, Ming Shu took out Jin Yuqi’s phone and pressed three numbers quickly, smiling at him. “Hello, I want to make a report. A man is being impolite to me. I am…”

nHe stepped forward quickly and took the phone away from Ming Shu. When he was about to hang up, he found that she didn’t dial the number.

n“…”

nThere was a whooshing sound. A slender leg crossed the distance and hit the boy student in his private parts. It was so fast that the boy student had no time to respond and was hit by Ming Shu.

nAh—

nThe boy student covered his private part unconsciously, clear agony on his handsome face. He said with pain, “Lu Meng, it’s a pity that you’re not an actress.”

nHe didn’t expect that Ming Shu would pretend to call the police in order to lure him closer…

n“If you bother me again, I won’t just kick you.” Ming Shu bent down and looked into the man’s eyes, smiling. “I don’t care what your purpose is. But you’d better not make me angry. It will be horrible.”

nShe didn’t mind some fun and was not afraid of machinations either. The more entertaining it was, the more she liked it.

nBut when she concentrated her attention on something, she really hated anyone who would talk around her all the time. Being hit was only a small punishment for those who chattered ceaselessly.

nMing Shu took back Jin Yuqi’s phone and went to kick him again. But the boy student, sweat beading his forehead from pain, caught her ankle and stopped her, warning Ming Shu, “Lu Meng, don’t go overboard.”

nThen Ming Shu took back her foot and left, dragging Jin Yuqi along.

nSeeing what Ming Shu was doing, people would believe a horror movie was being filmed.

nThe boy student looked at Ming Shu’s back, the corner of his mouth trembling. In his memory, Lu Meng was different from now. She was the straight-A student, a good girl, and had never argued with anybody.

nBut this woman was an actress. Maybe she pretended to be good in the past.

n…

nHaving been delayed in the grove for a while, Ming Shu, dragging Jin Yuqi, arrived at the old teaching building when it was getting dark. On the way, she didn’t encounter any students. Then she threw Jin Yuqi into a classroom and locked the door.

nAfter that, she didn’t leave, but ate outside the classroom, leaning against the window.

nThe sky gradually became dark. A sound came from the classroom. At first, it was Jin Yuqi’s painful cry. She had been dragged around for a long time. It would be strange if she didn’t feel sore.

nThen the sound of desks and chairs being moved emerged.

nJin Yuqi remembered that when she left the grove, she was knocked silly. She didn’t know what had happened after and now woke up here.

nShe knew where she was, though. It was the old teaching building.

nThe place she fooled Lu Meng into entering. But why was she here?

nWho?

nWho brought her here?

nJin Yuqi searched for her cell phone in her pocket but didn’t find it.

nWhere is my cell phone?

nIt’s disappeared?

nLeaning against a desk, Jin Yuqi looked around. But with the weak lighting, she could only see the outline of desks and chairs in the classroom.

nThe door was locked and she couldn’t open it even with great effort. Then she looked out the window and discovered that there seemed to be a person there.

n“Who’s outside?” Jin Yuqi shouted, rushing to the window and looking out through the glass. “Why did you kidnap me? Who are you?”

nThe person outside turned slowly. The light of a cell phone illuminated her face, pale against the darkness.

n“Ah!” Jin Yuqi was so frightened she fell down. But soon she realized who was outside and became angry at once. “Lu Meng, what are you doing? Let me out!”
