Chapter 225: Chapter 150: 650 Points, You Just Need Hands
Ah Jie pointed at Shen Yuan, lecturing him with exasperation, "Just keep orbiting around her! Forget about planting your plants! Don’t bother fighting the zombies! Just throw all your sun on the ground for all I care! Don’t fertilize the Tree of Wisdom! Don’t even collect your energy in Ant Forest!"
"No way!"
Shen Yuan glared at Ah Jie. "I still have to steal the energy from Ant Forest."
Before Ah Jie could even open his mouth, a nearby Sun Xiansheng couldn’t take it anymore.
"Damn it! I can’t stand you jerks with your childhood sweethearts! Why?! I’m so handsome, why don’t any girls like me?!"
At his words, the others all turned to look at Sun Xiansheng.
Knowing full well the idiotic advice Sun Xiansheng gave when he played the strategist, the group had already shifted their mockery from Ah Shuai to Sun Junshi.
Ah Jie immediately let him have it. "With your moronic pickup skills, a girl could be right in front of you and you’d say one thing that would send her running for the hills. Besides, when it comes to your ’preferences,’ it all boils down to a single word."
Everyone chorused, "Perverted!"
"Oh yeah? You tell me, then!"
Sun Xiansheng got flustered. "Then tell me what your ’preference’ is!"
Ah Jie sneered, puffed out his chest, and declared with immense pride, "The Mother of Ultra, of course!"
"Huh?" For a moment, Sun Xiansheng didn’t quite get it.
Yang Ze explained from the side, "Ultraman, married woman, twintails."
Hearing this, the corners of everyone’s mouths twitched.
But they had to admit, that was brilliant.
Chen Mingyu nodded. "Well, in that case, I guess I have to like the Mother of Ultra too."
Ah Jie shook his head. "You should be into Camilla. Have Camilla whip you."
Chen Mingyu blinked, then blushed.
"Damn it! That’s a pure-blooded masochist right there!"
When they returned to the classroom, Shen Yuan immediately spotted two pieces of sushi on his desk and grew suspicious.
He turned to look at Li Zhi. "Hm?"
The beautiful girl explained with a reserved look, "I got too full."
The corner of Shen Yuan’s mouth twitched, and he shot Li Zhi a merciless eye-roll. "What the hell are you playing at? You can easily polish off a whole beef-on-rice bowl, and now you’re telling me you can’t finish two pieces of sushi?"
Li Zhi sensed his suspicion. She pouted and mumbled, "Just tell me if you’re going to eat it or not. I did save it just for you, you know."
Hearing that, Shen Yuan immediately felt this was blatant guilt-tripping and retorted irritably, "If this isn’t guilt-tripping, what is?"
The moment Shen Yuan spoke, Li Zhi immediately lowered her long lashes, bit her bottom lip with her pearly teeth, and let out a soft whimper.
"Huu..."
With a wronged expression, the beautiful girl pushed the sushi box half an inch closer to Shen Yuan. Her delicate voice carried a slight nasal tone, sounding like a honey-drenched marshmallow—so sweet it was cloying:
"I saved it just for you..."
But out of the corner of her eye, Li Zhi saw his Adam’s apple bob suspiciously and immediately decided to strike while the iron was hot.
"Zhiyu and I walked fifteen minutes just to buy this, you know."
’Seeing the beautiful girl’s coquettish act, I just knew this thing was definitely spiked.’
’You walked fifteen fucking minutes just to set me up!’
’But this gesture...’
Ah Jie popped up from behind Shen Yuan, craning his neck happily and grinning as he said, "Lao Yuan, you can’t let your dear Li Bao’s kind gesture go to waste!"
Immediately after, Chen Mingyu also gave a sly laugh and chimed in, "Yeah, Lao Yuan, weren’t you just pining for Li Bao during lunch? Now she’s specially brought sushi for you! How can you disappoint her?"
Shen Yuan looked at Chen Mingyu and Ah Jie, an amiable smile still on his face, and said, "Alright, alright. I’ll eat it. I’ll eat it!"
With that, he turned his head, looked at Li Zhi, his smile still in place, "I’ll eat it!"
Seeing this, Li Zhi blinked, and a barely perceptible trace of fear suddenly appeared on her previously innocent face.
In truth, Li Zhi felt a little uneasy herself. Although she had successfully set Shen Yuan up, if she lost their upcoming bet on the monthly exam, she’d probably be undone by her own actions today.
’Ah, who cares!’
’I’ll just prank him first and worry about it later. The sooner the prank, the sooner the fun!’
Shen Yuan picked up the sushi, and after mentally preparing himself, popped it into his mouth.
The next second, an explosion of wasabi detonated in his mouth.
Shen Yuan’s neck instantly flushed red. Choking, he braced himself on his desk with one hand and coughed violently. Involuntary tears welled and glistened in the corners of his reddening eyes.
"COUGH, COUGH... Li Zhi, you... COUGH!"
The boy, his voice trembling as he choked, pounded his chest. He saw the culprit hiding the lower half of her face with a textbook, but the mischievous twinkle in her eyes had already betrayed the joy of her successful prank.
Luckily, this wasn’t the first time for Shen Yuan.
With a sister who loved to prank her little brother, Shen Yuan had experienced a "wasabi bomb" long ago.
After drinking some water, Shen Yuan quickly got his senses back under control.
Shen Yuan’s flushed neck bobbed violently as he swallowed. His glistening eyes, now filled with surging murderous intent, shot daggers at Li Zhi.
"Aren’t you afraid I’ll win tomorrow?"
Li Zhi slowly lowered the textbook covering her face, revealing her slightly apologetic smile.
"I am, but," Li Zhi giggled slyly and pointed to the remaining piece of sushi.
"There’s still one more."
The corner of Shen Yuan’s mouth twitched.
Soon, the sound of Shen Yuan choking once again echoed between the desks.
Li Zhi watched the boy’s pathetic, teary-eyed choking. She pinched a tissue between her fingertips and lightly brushed it against the tip of his reddened ear. Then, as he glared at her in angry embarrassment, she dangled the tissue in front of his heaving chest.
Her slender, pale fingertips suddenly let go, and the tissue drifted down to the desk like a falling snowflake.
Just as Li Zhi was about to pull her wrist back, Shen Yuan grabbed it.
