Chapter 605: Chapter 605

Zhu Dandan had been dating Wang Chao for a long time, so long that she no longer felt like she was in a relationship...

There might have been a more passionate period when they first got together.

They used to meet and go on dates sporadically, doing things that couples are supposed to do. But that seemed to be about it...

After their last breakup and reconciliation, Zhu Dandan stopped making a fuss.

She stopped fussing and Wang Chao stopped bothering; their love life was as bland as water, passionless, as if they were an old married couple...

Throughout the entire summer vacation, Zhu Dandan hardly contacted Wang Chao. Their communication was limited to cell phones...

After school started in the second year of high school, the academic pressure was much higher than in the first year. Being in a top class, Zhu Dandan naturally dropped the so-called romantic dalliances and devoted most of her effort to her studies...

Overall, the current relationship between Zhu Dandan and Wang Chao could either be described as lukewarm or on the verge of falling apart.

Neither party was actively nurturing the relationship, yet no one dared to clarify or sort out their feelings.

Zhu Dandan didn’t know what Wang Chao was thinking; all she knew now was that she didn’t want to be the proactive one anymore. Generally, the proactive person is the most exhausted, and unreciprocated initiatives are heartbreaking...

Zhu Dandan didn’t feel like making an effort anymore.

But, she still harbored some fantasies about Wang Chao. She hoped that by being passive, Wang Chao would one day come to his senses and take some initiative with her.

Of course, Zhu Dandan didn’t tell Pu Sangzhi or Wen Miao, nor anyone else; she just kept it to herself.

At that moment, Zhu Dandan was lying on her bed, playing with her phone.

In the dorm, Pu Sangzhi and Wen Miao were chatting; they had planned to visit Wen Miao’s family’s martial arts school in Tangxia Street over the weekend.

Zhu Dandan later did not join their conversation, focusing instead on playing with her phone, browsing Weibo, and occasionally replying to a message or two on WeChat...

The latest WeChat message was from Gu Yang, who had sent her two selfies.

Recently, following her advice, Gu Yang had consulted an old traditional medicine doctor to treat his acne and had been taking herbal treatments for a month.

His acne had significantly cleared up, and he was now showing Zhu Dandan the results.

Zhu Dandan smiled and texted him back: "Not bad, not bad! Keep it up, aim to be a refined piggy boy!"

A little later, Gu Yang texted her: "I found out that the old doctor you recommended made the news before. I just found his old interview on Baidu. Maybe he retired and moved to our neighborhood for a quiet life. Hidden in plain sight!"

Zhu Dandan, smiling, replied: "Exactly. Who do you think recommended him!" Content orıginally comes from 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡~𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢~𝙣𝙚𝙩

Gu Yang texted her back: "Awesome, awesome!"

Zhu Dandan sent a face with hand over mouth emoji, laughing.

Afterward, the straightforward Gu Yang, who wasn’t good at chatting, sent her a closing remark: "It’s 12:30, you should go to sleep. Bye!"

Zhu Dandan also sent a "Bye" and ended the conversation.

After exiting the chat, Zhu Dandan swiped her screen and glanced at her chat with Wang Chao.

The last message was a good night they exchanged last night...

She clicked to check again, and there wasn’t much chat last night either; he just mentioned he wanted to sleep.

What’s more annoying was that after saying good night, Zhu Dandan checked Honor of Kings and indeed found him logged in and playing the game...

She, not much of a gamer, had installed Honor of Kings and PUBG on her phone just to occasionally check on him.

Wang Chao was consistently caught by her!

And it was the same yesterday...

So, yesterday, Zhu Dandan captured perhaps the umpteenth snapshot, specifically saving proof of Wang Chao’s wrongful actions!

Afterward, she fell asleep filled with anger and disappointment...

Of course, only she knew about these events, not Pu Sangzhi or Wen Miao.

This week, because Huo Feng was out of a phone, Pu Sangzhi’s bedtime routine had been much quieter.

However, this quiet would last only this week...

Because, on Saturday, she went to pick up the repaired phone for Huo Feng.

Saturday came soon enough...

Pu Sangzhi and Wen Miao had arranged to go together to Tangxia, so after the morning classes on Saturday, they left school together, took a tricycle straight to Tangxia.

Wen Miao’s home was opposite the Tangxia Youth Palace; her family’s martial arts school was also located there, right in the bustling area of Tangxia.

The two of them took the tricycle directly to Wen Miao’s residential area.

Pu Sangzhi first accompanied Wen Miao home to greet her parents. Then, Wen Miao dropped her backpack off at home and first joined her to pick up the phone.

The phone shop was also on Tangxia Street, just a fifteen-minute walk from Wen Miao’s home—not too far.

So, they planned to first get the phone, then head back home for a meal, visit the martial arts school for a spin, and then Pu Sangzhi would return to school.

This plan was perfect, a seamless, one-stop outing!

However, on their way, an unexpected surprise awaited them...

The midday sun was a bit fierce, nearing noon, there were few pedestrians on Tangxia Street.

Pu Sangzhi walked and chatted with Wen Miao, discussing Wen Miao’s family situation in a relaxed atmosphere.

Wen Miao told Pu Sangzhi that her family had been running martial arts schools for generations.

Originally, the family’s martial arts school was in Taiwan, which she heard was a business passed down from ancestors.

After Taiwan returned to China, her family began expanding into mainland China.

Because her ancestors felt, mainland China was developing particularly fast, and living under the same sky as the Emperor felt more promising...

Her uncles opened martial arts schools all over China, and as people who practiced martial arts from a young age, mostly everyone in her family stuck to the family business!

Wen Miao heard that her father, when he was courting her mother from Wenzhou, initially planned to give up martial arts for business.

However, his rugged, straightforward, and unscheming nature led to his complete failure in business, so he ended up opening a martial arts school in Tangxia, teaching Chinese martial arts, judo, taekwondo, karate, and women’s self-defense.

Afterwards, Wen Miao was born into this family that already had three boys.

Wen Miao was the youngest child and the only girl in her family.

She should have been the pampered princess showered with love from her father, adored by her brothers, and cherished by her mother, with everyone hoping to groom her into a gentle princess.

However, Wen Miao turned herself into a tomboy under the strong masculine influence of her household!

Because of this, Wen Miao’s three elder brothers were very sad, her father was disappointed, and her mother... was indifferent.

"I’ve always liked playing with boys since I was little. Maybe because I got along so well with my brothers at home, I thought boys were approachable and easy to tease. My dad and brothers always wished I would make more female friends, preferably the beautiful and gentle type."

Wen Miao said to Pu Sangzhi, "Anyway, I hardly had any close female friends before high school. In high school, if it weren’t for living with girls or for you suddenly pestering me, I might not have become friends with you and Dandan. You saw how happy my dad was when you came to my house just now; his smile almost reached his ears."

Pu Sangzhi listened to Wen Miao’s family stories with great interest, only then realizing that she had known Wen Miao for so long but felt like she was only getting to know many of her stories today...

Thinking of this, Pu Sangzhi laughed, "Although you get along well with boys, deep down you’re still very girly..."

Wen Miao didn’t deny it, "I am a girl, after all. Just because I like playing with boys doesn’t mean I don’t like them romantically. I still get crushes on boys."

Pu Sangzhi found it a bit funny hearing such a tomboyish person like Wen Miao talk about liking boys, "Do you have someone you like recently?"

Wen Miao replied, "Not just recently, there’s been someone for a long time."

Pu Sangzhi asked curiously, "Who? Do I know him?"

Wen Miao smiled back, "Your The Only One, I’ve always held him as my standard. My future partner has to be of his caliber!"

Pu Sangzhi pursed her lips and fell silent.

Still pining for Huo Feng?

Thus, the two of them chatted and strolled leisurely along, soon approaching the Apple store where Huo Feng repaired phones...

A group of bikers sped past them on their motorcycles!

The sound of the motorcycles was very loud, momentarily drawing Pu Sangzhi and Wen Miao’s attention...

The delinquent youth sitting on the back of the first motorcycle didn’t know why he threw out some liquid, spraying it towards Pu Sangzhi and Wen Miao in a splash!

Fortunately, when faced with danger, instinct is to dodge!

So at that moment, Wen Miao, who was standing on the outer side, immediately turned her head to avoid it and instinctively raised an arm, blocking much of the liquid!

Pu Sangzhi, who was standing on the inner side, was barely sprayed...

The ensuing danger was that the motorcycles suddenly stopped at the roadside, and the group of helmeted, masked youths dismounted!

The closest rogue youth advanced behind Pu Sangzhi, holding a bottle of clear liquid, called out, "Hey!"

At his shout, Pu Sangzhi instinctively turned her head...

And just as she turned, he had already thrown the liquid, directly spraying it toward Pu Sangzhi!

It was slow yet fast!

Pu Sangzhi’s view was blocked by a tall figure!

The person in front, 1.8 meters tall, raised his arms and could easily shield two girls!

However, the entire content of that bottle of clear liquid sprayed all over that person...

The situation unfolded so abruptly!

Nobody knew what exactly was happening at the moment, but a few seconds later, Wen Miao suddenly cried out in pain...
