"I'm prettier than you." Liu Min raised an eyebrow, ignoring the fist thrown at her.
"You don't believe it? Come fight me then!" An Xiaoxiao widened her eyes.
The other five looked at Zhu Yanyi and silently gave a thumbs-up. Indeed, the truly skilled person was here. This was what it meant to kill without drawing blood.
Liu Min seemed to snap out of it and looked at Zhu Yanyi. "Little Eight."
"What is it?" Zhu Yanyi blinked innocently. "What did I do? You were talking about childhood sweethearts yourselves. We just watched. We didn't make a sound. Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Little Eight, you did it on purpose." Liu Min came over and tried to grab Zhu Yanyi’s waist. Zhu Yanyi dodged to the side quickly. "You can't come after me just because you can't beat Old Seven. Don't bully me for being the youngest."
An Xiaoxiao hadn't caught on yet. "Exactly. Why are you bullying Little Eight?"
"You… you…" Liu Min was nearly killed by anger from An Xiaoxiao. "I've never seen someone so dumb. You are the type who gets sold by Little Eight and still counts the money for her."
"How am I dumb?" An Xiaoxiao absolutely refused to admit she was dumb. "Every time we take exams, my grades are better than yours."
"You aren't dumb, but don't you know 'childhood sweethearts' usually means one boy and one girl? Are you a boy? Or are you my boy?" Liu Min had to explain.
"So 'childhood sweethearts' must have a boy and a girl? I thought it just meant growing up together." An Xiaoxiao suddenly understood. Then she realized something and looked at Zhu Yanyi. "Little Eight, you tricked us."
Zhu Yanyi spread her hands innocently. "How did I trick you? You said you and Old Five were childhood sweethearts. I just asked who was the green plum and who was the bamboo horse. You discussed it yourselves. It has nothing to do with me. Besides, my grades are bad. I didn't know childhood sweethearts had to be a boy and a girl."
Grades were bad? Hearing this from Zhu Yanyi, one wouldn't fear being struck by lightning. She was number one in the whole school every year, yet she claimed her grades were bad. An Xiaoxiao pouted. "Your grades are bad? You are number one in the school every year. If your grades are bad, whose are good? Aren't you afraid of lightning for saying that?"
"Is there?" Zhu Yanyi continued to act innocent. "I probably have amnesia. I forgot that for a moment."
"Little Eight, you are being shameless." Liu Min laughed and scolded her.
The others nearby had already burst into laughter. Zhu Yanyi pointed to a road sign nearby. "Let's go see the animals." Indeed, the sign indicated the zoo was ahead.
There weren't many animals in the Longquan Mountain zoo. They finished looking around in just a few minutes. There was a python, a few monkeys, some peacocks, and some small birds. There were no other animals, but they still watched with great interest. By the time they left Longquan Mountain, it was nearly five o'clock.
"Let's go back. We have evening self-study." Gao Xia checked the time.
Zhu Yanyi suggested, "Let's eat a bowl of noodles at the school gate before going back. Otherwise, by the time we return, the cafeteria probably won't have much food left."
The eight of them had no objections. After eating noodles at the school gate, they entered the school. Zhu Yanyi did not notice that not far away, two people were standing there. One was Luo Gang, and the other was surprisingly Yan Aohan.
"If the young miss knew Young Master Yan had come, she would be very happy," Luo Gang said with a smile. Although she didn't know the exact relationship between Yan Aohan and Zhu Yanyi, over the years, Luo Gang could feel how much Yan Aohan valued Zhu Yanyi.
