Chapter 28: Is That Person Chen Ciyi?

Xu Yannuo looked at Chen Ciyi, “Should I make my move now?”

Wang Sinan perked up like a husky discovering something new, immediately raising his head and ears, his eyes even lighting up. What had he just heard? Was this content he could access after just paying an extra 6 yuan without needing a VIP subscription?

After the initial excitement, he suddenly felt a bit worried. He glanced at Chen Ciyi in horror. After so many years of brotherhood, he could naturally tell what Chen Ciyi was about to do and how he would react. Judging by the current situation, Chen Ciyi was definitely going to take whatever the beauty dished out without fighting back or retorting. Though he didn’t know the reason behind it… would he end up being silenced later for seeing too much?

Oh my god! Caught between a rock and a hard place.

Fortunately, the caf\u00e9 door swung open again at that moment, letting in a gust of wind along with a few stunning young women.

The caf\u00e9 wasn’t very spacious, and with these new arrivals, it was nearly full. The sudden commotion temporarily eased Wang Sinan’s awkwardness.

The surroundings suddenly became noisy, and Xu Yannuo and Chen Ciyi paused their earlier conversation, both looking idly toward the door.

They were looking at the person who had just entered, and that person happened to be looking at them too.

The girls seemed to be from a nearby school. Without their uniforms, it was hard to tell if they were high school or college students, but they appeared to be around the same age. On weekends, they wore their own clothes and had light makeup on. Two of them had chestnut-colored hair styled in loose waves, while the rest had long, straight black hair. Carrying books in their arms, they exuded an artsy vibe that made them quite likable.

Their gazes all fell on Chen Ciyi, completely ignoring her and Wang Sinan. Upon seeing Chen Ciyi, they were visibly stunned at first\u2014though clearly not in the way one reacts to meeting an acquaintance\u2014before breaking into shy giggles. After exchanging glances, they playfully nudged and pinched each other, their eyes lingering on Chen Ciyi as if eager to approach him for his contact information and get to know him better.

Chen Ciyi calmly averted his gaze, acting as if he hadn’t noticed anything, while also calling Xu Yannuo back. “Where were we just now?”

Xu Yannuo glanced at the girls who had just entered, then recalled the two at the neighboring table who had been frequently stealing glances their way earlier\u2014even attempting to secretly take photos of Chen Ciyi with their phones. Suddenly, a thought occurred to her.

Xu Yannuo laughed, leaning across the table toward Chen Ciyi. “So many beauties in the caf\u00e9 are watching you.” Guys usually care about their pride when facing pretty girls, right? “What if I beat you up right now or call you a scumbag? Wouldn\u2019t that embarrass you?”

Chen Ciyi frowned slightly. Losing face was indeed quite humiliating\u2014after all, being dealt with in public and then having to flee voluntarily without being able to fight back… But what did that have to do with girls?

Before Chen Ciyi could react, Wang Sinan beside him couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter first. The mere thought of Chen Ciyi’s emotional intelligence made him laugh uncontrollably. He kept laughing for a while until both Chen Ciyi and Xu Yannuo stared at him as if he were an idiot. Only then did he barely manage to control himself and explain to Xu Yannuo, “Hahaha, don’t worry, he can’t\u2014he just doesn’t have that kind of emotional intelligence! Hahahaha…”

After laughing for a while longer, Wang Sinan began telling Xu Yannuo how Chen Ciyi had previously rejected the girls who pursued him. However, Xu Yannuo clearly didn’t believe those varied and obviously illogical excuses.

Chen Ciyi took a sip of hot chocolate and scoffed disdainfully, “Don’t be led astray by fools. Clearly, it’s their emotional intelligence that’s lacking\u2014they misunderstood and ended up laughing at me instead.”

Xu Yannuo glanced at the two of them. She didn’t care who had the problem, but her badminton training session was about to start, and she didn’t have time to waste on their emotional intelligence issues. However, this was still a perfect opportunity to teach Chen Ciyi a lesson\u2014otherwise, he might stir up trouble again at school. So she decided to take this chance to thoroughly put him in his place, ensuring peace when they returned to school.

But how could she subdue Chen Ciyi quickly and efficiently in one move?

There are so many people in the cafe, so beating him up is definitely out of the question\u2014it wouldn’t look good in a harmonious society.

What do guys fear the most? Especially someone like Chen Ciyi, who\u2019s particularly good-looking?

Hair?

She suddenly remembered how the school heartthrob back in middle school was obsessed with his hair. He\u2019d style it with gel every day into some super-cool look, and during class, what he feared most wasn\u2019t being sent out to stand in the hallway\u2014it was the teacher messing up his hair. Oh yeah, he\u2019d even say stuff like, “My head can be broken, but my hair must stay perfect.”

Moreover, she still vividly remembers one math class when the school heartthrob was caught chatting by the teacher. As the teacher walked over to punish him by grabbing his hair, his horrified expression made him leap up instantly, as if his pants were on fire.

Feasible!

Xu Yannuo stood up and borrowed a pair of scissors from the bar. Then, she walked up to Chen Yiyi and, without hesitation, raised her hand to cut his hair. By the time Chen Yiyi reacted and reached out to stop her, it was already too late.

Xu Yano had already made the first cut, and a visibly noticeable chunk of Chen Ciyi’s stylish layered haircut was now missing.

This bizarre hairstyle, though worn by Chen Ciyi, was effortlessly carried by his striking looks\u2014the minor flaw hardly affected his overall attractiveness. However, Xu Yannuo could clearly see the utter despair on Chen Ciyi’s face, as if life had lost all meaning, and the sheer shock written across Wang Sinan’s expression opposite him.

Xu Yannuo put down the scissors and smiled with satisfaction. Whether it looked good or not didn’t matter\u2014at the very least, his hairstyle would definitely turn heads when he went out, and there was no way he’d be going to school on Monday.

Xu Yannuo leaned closer to Chen Ciyi, “Behave yourself at school from now on, and don’t piss me off.”

With that, she slung her badminton bag over her shoulder and strode away with the scissors, flashing a victorious peace sign behind her as she went. As she approached the counter, Xu Yannuo tossed the scissors with effortless precision onto the bar, said “Thanks,” and then pushed open the door to leave the caf\u00e9.

On Monday morning, Xu Yannuo arrived at school early\u2014partly because she was used to arriving ahead of time, and partly because she wanted to see how Chen Ci would show up that morning.

If she provoked him again, she would cut his hair\u2014that way she wouldn’t hurt him physically but would still drive him crazy!

Xu Yannuo opened the book and sat in his seat, reciting the classical Chinese text that would be tested in today’s language class. Initially, he kept a part of his attention on the people entering the door and the movements nearby\u2014primarily focusing on Chen Ciyi, of course. But as he immersed himself in memorization, he gradually forgot everything else.

It wasn’t until the shouts of girls from other classes outside the window came through the open pane that Xu Yannuo snapped back to reality.
