Chapter 1025 — A Successful Counterattack
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Hahahaha... I'm dying laughing!" Feng Xiaoxiao was still laughing nonstop, but after a couple more laughs, it came to an abrupt "urk" and stopped short. Then she clutched her belly and crouched down, doubled over in some pain...
"?" Shen Yushu looked at Feng Xiaoxiao with some puzzlement. "What's wrong with you?"
"I just ran, and then I laughed so hard I got a stitch—it's killing me..." Feng Xiaoxiao said weakly, crouched on the ground.
"Ah?" Shen Yushu's eyes went wide, and she nearly burst out laughing! What did they call it—pride goeth before a fall? This was it! A living, breathing example! But thinking of Feng Xiaoxiao's pitiful circumstances, Shen Yushu naturally couldn't laugh anymore. She crouched down, helped Feng Xiaoxiao up, and said, "Come on, let me help you over to those seats to rest a bit!"
By then the PE teacher had noticed something was wrong too and came over to ask what had happened. Gu Mengyao stayed behind to explain, telling the teacher that Feng Xiaoxiao had merely gotten a stitch, and only then did the teacher breathe a sigh of relief and leave—after all, if anything else had happened to a student, the PE teacher would bear some responsibility.
Feng Xiaoxiao looked at Shen Yushu in some surprise! The two of them had been enemies just moments before, and she found it a little hard to believe that Shen Yushu was really kind enough to help her over to rest!
"You... you really want to help me over to rest?" Feng Xiaoxiao looked at Shen Yushu incredulously.
"Oh..." Shen Yushu's little head spun fast. Her reaction had indeed been a bit unusual. By rights, when Feng Xiaoxiao got a stitch in her side and looked to be in such pain, she ought to have been pointing and laughing at her. But Shen Yushu really could not bring herself to laugh! Still, she finally thought of a reason that would just about pass muster, and said: "I met my match today, so naturally I can't let you croak this fast. I, Little Shu, am a very upright person and never take advantage of another's misfortune, so wait until you've had a proper rest, and then we'll have another go! Right now it's one to one, a draw!"
"Heh, so that's it..." Hearing Shen Yushu's explanation, Feng Xiaoxiao found it reasonable enough, and nodded: "You're not a bad sort after all. If you weren't trying to snatch Wei Zhao from me, the two of us could really get along."
"Yeah, yeah, that's just what I was thinking." Shen Yushu nodded.
The two sat down on the chairs beside the gymnasium to rest. After a while, Feng Xiaoxiao had more or less recovered, though she no longer dared to do anything strenuous: "I'm afraid I can't compete with you today. I still feel a bit unwell, and I'm scared I'll get another stitch."
"That's fine, if we can't fight with fists, we'll fight with wits!" Shen Yushu said carelessly.
"Fight with wits?" Feng Xiaoxiao blinked.
"A prank contest, to see whose pranking skills are superior!" Shen Yushu said.
"Now that's a good idea! But who do we prank? Let me say this first, I'm not pranking Wei Zhao..." At the thought of pranking Wei Zhao, Feng Xiaoxiao's backside started to ache. And besides, she did not want to prank Wei Zhao anymore.
"Oh, we can't prank Arrow-Brand Bro, he's too formidable. Only a fool would try to prank him." Shen Yushu shook her head, then suddenly looked at Feng Xiaoxiao and gave a sly grin.
"Hmph!" Feng Xiaoxiao naturally knew what Shen Yushu was laughing at. She was mocking her for having once, not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth, tried to prank Wei Zhao, only to have misfortune rebound on herself! Her face flushed at once, and she protested stubbornly: "That was because I didn't understand the situation. What are you laughing at!"
