Chapter 241: Chapter 241 Have I Bumped into a Tree?

Zhou Siyu sniffled, "I accidentally crashed into a tree."

"Crashed into a tree?"

Zhou Lanfang stared intently at Zhou Siyu’s face, trying to determine whether she had really hit a tree.

After examining for a while, she still didn’t think it looked like it, "Which tree did you crash into that you ended up like this?"

"The grove by the entrance to the village," Zhou Siyu touched her face and winced in pain, "Riding the bike made my hands so cold, they were numb, and I couldn’t stop in time, crashing into the tree."

This Xu Haiyang, his blows were really harsh, when he hit her, he didn’t hold back at all.

Zhou Lanfang started to believe her this time, after all, if she had been hit by someone, given Zhou Siyu’s temperament, she would definitely have come to her to complain.

She touched Zhou Siyu’s face with sympathy, "Tomorrow, Auntie will go to town and buy you a pair of gloves."

"Mhm," Zhou Siyu sobbed, "Auntie, you go cook! I have homework, I’ll go do it first."

"Off you go!"

Zhou Lanfang patted Zhou Siyu’s shoulder as if comforting a child.

She thought that no matter what, she had to buy Zhou Siyu a pair of gloves tomorrow.

Her Siyu was so pretty, if her face were disfigured from a fall, that would be a loss.

When Zhou Siyu returned to her room, she saw Shen Mianmian sprawling on the bed doing homework; she glared at Shen Mianmian through gritted teeth and resentfully squeezed her to the side.

"Move, I need to do my homework."

Shen Mianmian, engrossed in her writing, was startled by Zhou Siyu’s shove and accidentally scribbled a wrong character. Frowning, she then saw Zhou Siyu’s swollen cheek.

"What are you looking at?" Zhou Siyu bit her lip and glared at Shen Mianmian again.

Shen Mianmian raised an eyebrow and asked, "Were you hit?"

Even though she was asking, her tone was filled with certainty.

This face was clearly the result of being hit, and it was from both sides, no less.

Zhou Siyu was good at playing the nice person at school; it was unlikely that anyone there would hit her so hard. She didn’t know anyone outside of school either...

Suddenly, a thought struck her, and she guessed something.

"I hit a tree," Zhou Siyu insisted, her eyes wide like brass bells, adamant about not admitting she was hit.

Mianmian snorted with laughter, "Are you sure it wasn’t because you were playing with an eagle and it pecked you?"

"..."

Zhou Siyu bit her lip guiltily, a hint of malice flashing in her eyes.

Laugh at her now, but in the future, who knows, they might end up even worse than her.

Shen Mianmian had almost finished her homework; she moved a bit away from Zhou Siyu, wrote for a while longer, then packed her books into her bag.

When Zhou Siyu saw Shen Mianmian leave after finishing her homework, she quickly took out a mirror from the room. Upon seeing her swollen face, tears came rushing out again.

She always thought she was pretty, with a clear face, fairer skin than her classmates, and just a small black mole under her eye. But now, her face had been beaten up like this, how could she go to school tomorrow?

What scared her even more was the thought of encountering that man named Gouzi again—how would she deal with him next time?

The more Zhou Siyu thought about it, the more panicked she became, and she lost all interest in doing her homework.

At dinner, Zhou Lanfang felt sorry for Zhou Siyu’s injury and cooked her two eggs; knowing she wouldn’t get any, Shen Mianmian didn’t even bother to think about it.

When Zhou Lanfang was feeling sorry for her niece, she found Shen Mianmian particularly irritating. Maybe in search of an outlet for her frustration, she picked on Shen Mianmian.

"No good at working, no good at studying, no one can outeat you."
