Amidst laughter and jokes, a group of young boys and girls collectively boarded the subway.
The zoo was located in a remote area, and they needed to transfer to a special line at the South Square of the train station, which was quite a hassle.
Although it was not peak operating hours, it was still difficult to find seats.
By the ti they finally arrived at the Magic Capital Zoo, everyone’s initial excitent had waned by at least half.
Finally, soone couldn’t resist complaining.
"What were they thinking? Making us go to all this trouble just to see monkeys..."
The grumbler was a local girl from the Magic Capital.
Duan Xiaoyi, who happened to be nearby, casually chid in, "Exactly! How many tis have schools organized trips for us here since we were kids..."
"It’s cheap! Only 65 yuan for a student ticket. Do you think everyone is as rich as your family, with eight houses and more rental inco than you can spend?"
Chen Ping didn’t an any harm when he interjected, but Duan Xiaoyi was overly sensitive. As soon as she heard "eight houses," sha and anger surged in her heart.
"Damn it! What kind of excuse is ’it’s cheap’? Are you short of money? Tell how much, and I’ll cover it!"
Chen Ping was not pleased, and his quick temper flared. "Shit! We’re already here and you’re still bitching. Who the hell begged you to co?"
Although Student Xiaoyi didn’t have much clout with Brother Lie, she was, after all, a confident second-generation nouveau riche and certainly wouldn’t coddle Chen Ping.
"What do you want?"
Chen Ping didn’t understand the dialect, but seeing the way Duan Xiaoyi was glaring, he knew. Oh, this is the prelude to a fight.
He decisively gave an equivalent response.
"What the hell are you looking at?!"
One used Magic Capital slang, the other Northeastern dialect, and they started to bicker back and forth.
When Xi Luting heard the commotion and turned back, she was completely stunned.
Good buddies from the sa dorm, so chummy this morning, how could they be about to fight without any warning?!
Taking two quick strides, she rushed between them, her face frosty as she rebuked, "What’s wrong with you two?!"
Duan Xiaoyi imdiately deflated a bit, but Chen Ping was still relentless.
Seeing this, Yu Yun decisively hid behind Han Lie, hugging his arm and putting on a show of shivering.
"Oh dear! They’re not going to fight, are they? So scary..."
It was indeed scary. Han Lie’s entire arm was nearly squeezed out of shape; the pressure was simply terrifying.
He hastily reassured her, "It’s okay, they won’t fight... Let go of ."
"Really? Are you sure?"
Yu Yun, as if she hadn’t heard the last part, hugged him even tighter.
Brother Lie was exasperated.
I can handle this, but my pants are about to give out... In front of everyone, how can my image be trampled on like this?!
Fortunately, the classmates were all focused on the conflict between Chen Ping and Duan Xiaoyi, so no one noticed Brother Lie’s predicant. Er, no, one person did: Fang Feifei watched Yu Yun’s performance with wide-eyed shock, keenly feeling the disparity.
After thinking for less than a second, she decisively rushed over and grabbed Han Lie’s other arm.
"Brother Lie, I... I’m scared too!"
Han Lie didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
What the hell are you two scared of? Those two idiots can argue eight tis a day. They’ve only really fought twice; today definitely won’t escalate to that extre. I’m the one who should be scared, okay?
"Then you two let go of , and I’ll go sort them out," Han Lie coaxed, but to no avail.
"Don’t go!"
"No, don’t!"
"What if they hit you?"
"Let them fight like dogs; don’t pay them any mind!"
The two girls were impressively quick-witted, excuses rolling off their tongues.
Moreover, their hands weren’t idle, constantly brushing and rubbing against him, nearly driving Han Lie mad.
He wasn’t lacking in intelligence, life experience, or social skills. However, his body was still that of a virgin, and with his excellent constitution and health, he was particularly susceptible to stimulation.
Both girls were dressed to the nines, exuding a post-bath fragrance, looking hot and tempting.
Han Lie couldn’t take it anymore.
Unable to move his arms, he bent his wrists, his palms already pressed against them, and suddenly tickled them with his fingers.
EEP!
Fang Feifei and Yu Yun yelped simultaneously, releasing Han Lie’s hands as if electrocuted.
Their cheeks flushed red in an instant.
Brother Lie heaved a sigh of relief and quickly adjusted his trousers.
Damn, how are these two won so terrifying? In their past lives, they weren’t... No, wait. In their past lives, they were top-tier handfuls, they just hadn’t targeted .
Brother Lie suddenly realized that if he kept playing this ga, he’d be in serious danger.
If given the chance, those two would actually dare to pounce! Shouldn’t I tone it down a bit?
As he was pondering this, Han Lie suddenly saw Xi Luting looking left and right, scanning the crowd.
What is she looking for? Holy crap, she’s looking for ?!
By the ti Han Lie figured it out, their eyes had already t.
A look of strong delight flashed in Xi Luting’s eyes. She quickly waved at Han Lie, her aning clear: "Hey, stop watching the show and co help!"
Han Lie was, yet again, utterly flummoxed.
How can I help? I don’t even freaking dare to move!
In a flash of inspiration, Brother Lie decisively put on a pained expression, bent over clutching his stomach, and groaning, "Ouch, ouch," turned to flee.
Xi Luting’s eyes widened bit by bit; she was dumbfounded.
That damn dog of a man, he’s acting with ?! I ask for a little help, and he fakes a bathroom ergency to ditch ?! Fine, fine, fine!
Xi Luting watched Han Lie disappear in a flash, her body trembling with anger, her face as cold as ice. She spun around and began to furiously berate them:
"You two want to fight, is that it? Then go find a deserted spot right now and fight all you want! Clean up your own ss afterward, and don’t ruin everyone else’s mood! Now, everyone is dismissed! Free ti!"
Having said that, she turned and walked away, heading straight for the zoo entrance.
Duan Xiaoyi and Chen Ping were completely deflated. They shot each other resentful glares and separated with disgruntled grunts.
The remaining classmates were even more bewildered. Such a nice outing, and it had inexplicably fallen apart before they even got through the entrance?
"What the heck?"
"Are those two crazy or what?"
"What do we do now?"
"We’re here already, might as well pair up with friends and wander around..."
Everyone exchanged bewildered glances, but eventually, they found their close friends and dispersed in twos and threes.
Xi Luting strode off on her long legs, heading straight for the penguin enclosure alone.
Fang Feifei and Yu Yun stared at each other, neither daring to chase after Han Lie.
After a short while, Fang Feifei was pulled away by Liu Yajie. Yu Yun snorted coldly and turned to walk in the opposite direction.
The others vented furiously in their respective small group chats; Duan Xiaoyi, Chen Ping, and even Xi Luting were all targets of their complaints.
The outing had completely fallen apart.
Han Lie squatted in the small plaza outside the public restrooms, opened the temporary WeChat group for the outing, and waited quietly.
After waiting for a long ti, the group chat remained silent.
He then opened QQ to check the main class group chat; it was also quiet.
Huh?! What’s going on?!
Brother Lie was baffled.
He hadn’t joined any of the small group chats and wasn’t friends with any of the guys on the apps, so he was completely in the dark.
Have I... been left behind?!
Staring blankly, unsure whether to laugh or cry, Han Lie finally received ssages from Fang Feifei and Yu Yun.
Fang Feifei: "Brother Lie, what are you doing? I’m in the little grove behind the elephant enclosure. Co find , okay?"
Yu Yun: "You villain! My safety shorts are ruined... What should I do? Sigh, I wonder if there’s a hotel nearby..."
Holy crap! Brother Lie was starting to lose his composure again.
When girls get proactive, n really don’t stand a chance. It’s truly hard to handle.
So, should I go see the elephants, or head to a hotel to offer my... assistance? Chickening out is out of the question, but I have to carefully weigh the pros and cons.
Brother Lie didn’t agonize for long. He decisively opened his chat with Xi Luting.
Three direct words: "Save !"
Xi Luting was sitting on a bench in the penguin enclosure, sulking. When she saw Han Lie’s ssage, she initially didn’t want to respond.
But those three words made her far too curious.
After struggling with herself for a while, she finally couldn’t resist and replied irritably with three punctuation marks: "???"
"Upset stomach, no paper! (Sobbing emoji) (Sobbing emoji) (Sobbing emoji)"
PFFT! Xi Luting was caught completely off guard and burst out laughing, thoroughly amused.
Han Lie’s reply wasn’t an explanation, but it explained everything.
In an instant, her anger vanished.
Moreover, a mischievous impulse welled up inside her.
You little rascal, you’ve finally fallen into my hands, haven’t you? Just you wait! If I don’t make you cry today, this young lady will take your surna, Han!
