Chapter 355: Chapter 355: Crashing into the God of Plague

"Xia Chuyi, were you just being sarcastic with me... implying that I’m ignorant?" Second Young Master Ou asked incredulously, gritting his teeth in annoyance.

Xia Chuyi’s gaze swept toward the hand tugging at her arm, and an icy chill flashed in her eyes as she rebuked forcefully, "Let go!"

"You..." Ou Cong hesitated, wanting to say something when suddenly, a striking female voice called out from behind, "Second Brother Ou!"

Everyone turned to look at the newcomer.

Just as the saying goes, enemies are bound to meet, the person who had arrived was Chi Yue.

Xia Chuyi faintly shook her head, thinking to herself: She must have left the house on an inauspicious day, running into the plague spirits one after another.

"Second Brother Ou, what brings you to our school? Is there something you need?" Chi Yue approached with a smile, inquiring politely.

At this moment, she didn’t appear as arrogant and overbearing as she had before in the dormitory.

Chi Yue now presented herself with gentle sophistication and grace.

Seeing her, Ou Cong’s peach blossom eyes lifted slightly, and he said nonchalantly, "Yo, Chi family’s miss, what a coincidence! I’m just here at your school to find someone, that’s all."

Upon hearing this, Chi Yue’s expression stiffened uncomfortably as she retorted, "Is that so?"

She glanced at Jiang Shuqin, then back at Xia Chuyi, trying to deduce who Ou Cong was there for.

It wasn’t until her gaze landed on Ou Cong’s hand that was grabbing Xia Chuyi’s wrist that her expression underwent a drastic change.

In an instant, Chi Yue glared at Xia Chuyi with a venomous look in her eyes.

Jiang Shuqin curled her lips: This incurable womanizer, sure enough, flirts with women everywhere.

Ou Cong, completely oblivious to the girls’ subtle hints, said, "Right."

His peach blossom eyes glanced toward Xia Chuyi.

Obviously, he was establishing that he had come especially for Xia Chuyi.

Chi Yue immediately felt a surge of anger.

Meanwhile, Xia Chuyi was also feeling quite frustrated—today truly seemed to be her unlucky day, encountering three plagues consecutively.

With this thought, she abruptly stomped her foot down hard on Ou Cong’s foot.

Xia Chuyi didn’t hold back at all, causing Ou Cong to hop on one foot in pain.

"Ouch!" Ou Cong cried out in agony, letting go of her and roaring, "Xia Chuyi, what are you doing? How can you be so rude? With your behavior, how could you possibly be worthy of my Huo..."

He stopped mid-sentence, suddenly pausing before forcefully altering his words, "With that temperament of yours, if you married into Capital City, I bet you wouldn’t last three days!"

She snorted coldly, dismissing Ou Cong’s words as if they were nothing, "So what? What’s that to you?"

"Shuqin, let’s go!"

Xia Chuyi’s face darkened as she pulled Jiang Shuqin away.

Arguing with a fool was simply a waste of time.

"Hey, Xia Chuyi!" Ou Cong tried to stop her.

Chi Yue quickly stepped forward and grabbed him, asking with concern, "Second Brother Ou, is your foot okay?"

"Do you need me to take you to see a doctor?"

Ou Cong’s eyelid twitched, giving face to Chi Yue, he replied, "It’s fine, it’ll be okay in a bit."

He looked towards Xia Chuyi’s retreating figure, contemplating his next course of action.

Meanwhile, Chi Yue’s face twisted savagely.

"Being worthy of me," "marrying into Capital City"... Ou Cong’s words were far too pointed!

Chi Yue bit her lip, her fingernails digging deeply into her flesh.

It took her a while to control her emotions before she managed to ask Ou Cong calmly, "Second Brother Ou, did you come to school just to see Xia Chuyi?"

Ou Cong looked at the already distant Xia Chuyi, shaking his head and sighing, "Exactly! Too bad, this girl has quite a foul temper!"

His tone carried a hint of irritation.

Though it was a rebuke, Chi Yue’s eyes shifted perceptibly upon hearing it.
