The next minute.
With one hand on the table, Pei Xu made quite the entrance as he jumped to the front of Su Mushi before giving him an intractable and arrogant side glance. “Su Mushi, I heard what you said just now. I better see you chewing the table when Xixi walks down the red carpet.”
Yu Qiubai may be frowning, but his eyes were gloating. Narrowing his foxy eyes, he sat back and did nothing about what was transpiring.
Pei Xu was really something, always showing up whenever things got interesting.
Su Mushi was in the middle of confronting Yu Qiubai when he was rudely interrupted. With bloodshot eyes, he glared at Pei Xu. “Pei Xu, I’m warning you. It has nothing to do with you.”
“Shen Xi is a member of our international class and that makes her one of us. Of course, it has something to do with me.” Pei Xu had to have the last word. “Su Mushi, he who doesn’t eat the table is the b*tch.”
Giving Pei Xu the evil eye, Su Mushi spoke through clenched teeth. “You best stay out of it.”
“Oh, my. Is the Su family’s Young Master Mushi afraid? Are you trying to chicken out?” Pei Xu laughed and spread his legs before replying, “Crawl under my legs and I’ll pretend I heard nothing of your earlier statement if you don’t want to admit to it.”
“Pei Xu!” It made Su Mushi’s blood boil. “Don’t go there.”
“Su Mushi, you said it yourself.” Pei Xu cynically curled his lips. “I can let the whole thing slide if you own up that whatever you said was bullsh*t.”
F*ck.
Who did he think he was?
To have it in for Xixi, Su Mushi sure was looking for trouble and being a b*stard.
There were words spoken out of anger at the heat of the moment and it never occurred to Su Mushi that an importunate creature like Pei Xu would overhear.
“How about this?” Yu Qiubai stepped forward, adding fuel to the fire as a way to smooth things over. “How about a bet between you two? If Shen Xi walks the red carpet, Shi will crawl between Pei Xu’s legs, but if it’s the other way around, Pei Xu will be the one to crawl.”
Having lost his head after being pushed too far by those two, Su Mushi huffed and puffed. “Fine! You have my word.”
Pei Xu raised his brows and smiled smugly. “That’s getting straight to the point, Young Master Mushi. I’ll be the first to disagree if anyone says Young Master Mushi’s full of sh*t.”
“However, it has to be in front of the whole school. Alpha Xu, I dare you.” With resentment brewing in his eyes, Su Mushi pressed on.
He was certain there was no way Shen Xi, that brat, could walk the red carpet. What right did she have to do so?
Pei Xu, the cocky and egoistic pr*ck was about to climb under his crotch and let the whole school make fun of him.
“That’s a good idea!” Pei Xu gave him the thumbs up in showing his appreciation. There was one thing he regretted though. “Why didn’t I think about it? Su Mushi, you may have the worst human qualities, but at least you have a brain. I shall fulfill your eager wish to be humiliated in front of the whole school.”
Outraged, the whole of the top class glared at Pei Xu. Just you wait. The b*stard Pei Xu would be put to shame before the entire school!
Yu Qiubai was close to bursting out in laughter. That was such a unique way to offer compliments. Look at his best buddy – Su Mushi was irked to the point he was blue in the face.
Like a fragile flower, Su Ruowan’s eyes were red from worry as she shot Pei Xu an angry look.
“What? You want to crawl under my pants that much too?” Pei Xu looked askance at her while showing the disgust in his eyes. He blurted, “You’re too ugly. You’ll startle my bird.”
