Who is barking

Chapter 121

Listening to the phone ringing non-stop in his pocket, the boy's forehead was covered in imaginary dark lines.

The girl next to him also suddenly snapped back to reality. Realizing what had almost happened, her face instantly flushed with a rosy red, and she hurriedly turned her body away.

Trying hard to pretend that nothing had happened, she smoothed her hair one moment and patted her clothes the next.

She was in a flurry, not knowing what she was even busy with.

After all, as the old saying goes: when people are embarrassed, they always pretend to be very busy!

Gu Ran resentfully took out his phone and spoke to the person on the other end through gritted teeth.

"You brat, you'd better pray that you have a matter of life and death to tell me, otherwise..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by bursts of pleasant surprise.

"Hahahahaha... Brother Gu! Brother Gu! I did it, I did it!"

"I never thought that I, Ye Jinliang, would have a day to bring honor to my ancestors!"

"Four hundred and eighty-seven, four hundred and eighty-seven! Brother Gu!"

Hearing this good news, Gu Ran was truly happier than if he were hearing his own score. He sincerely wished the best for his brother, which could be considered as making up for the regrets of his previous life.

He seemed to already see a broad road full of hope and freedom waving at them.

Since the boy was answering the phone with his other hand, Ye Zhenzhen, who was sitting on the other side, couldn't hear what they were talking about at all.

She could only watch the joy on the boy's face grow more and more intense, and silently pouted her lips.

Oh, which girl is he chatting with? Look how happy he is!

Even though he was just with her...

Bah, bah, bah, Ye Zhenzhen, what on earth are you thinking about!

They didn't do anything!

She was the older sister!

How could she have improper thoughts about her younger brother!

Thinking of this, she shook her head vigorously, trying hard to throw those thoughts out of her mind.

But...

With this thought, the girl shifted her gaze back to the boy beside her.

As a result...

Her fists hardened!

Her teeth were itching so much, what should she do if she wanted to bite someone!!!

Gu Ran's face was full of joy, completely oblivious to the girl beside him whose anger level was slowly rising.

Pinching the bridge of his nose, he felt full of gratification facing the excited little fatty on the phone.

However, happy as he was, the score for interrupting his magic casting just now hadn't been settled yet!

Just as he was about to open his mouth to crusade against him, before he could even speak, he was interrupted by a burst of cell phone ringtones.

Following the sound and looking over, he saw the top-student girl glaring at him with a face full of anger.

Hmm???

Why was she staring at him like that?

The boy inexplicably touched his nose, secretly guessing in his heart.

Could it be...

Was it because she was interrupted just now... so she was unhappy??

The more he thought about it, the more he felt it made sense, nodding his head while looking at the girl.

He completely didn't feel that there was any problem with his thoughts, and naturally, he didn't expect that someone's train of thought would go completely off track, and bizarrely so.

Then, he threw an ambiguous look at the girl.

Meaning: you can't eat hot tofu if you're impatient, don't rush, don't rush~

After thinking about it, he turned around to continue comforting the restless Ye Jinliang.

Ye Zhenzhen: "???"

What did that look mean?

Provocation?!

Her fists were clenched so tightly that they creaked, and the girl's anger reached its peak at this moment.

Bah!

Scumbag!

She turned around as if in a fit of pique, turning her back on a certain fickle person, and angrily answered her phone.

"Hello!"

Pei Susu: "???"

"Did you eat gunpowder! What, did your dear Gu Ran not satisfy you?"

Dear?

As soon as the words came out, it was as if someone's fuse had been lit.

With a bang in the girl's mind, the scene from just now floated before her eyes again, making her blush involuntarily.

"Bah! What nonsense are you talking about, he... he's not mine, and dear..."

"Ew~"

While blushing and refuting, Ye Zhenzhen didn't forget to clap back.

Hearing this, Pei Susu rolled her eyes, but her intuition allowed her to smell something different in the girl's words.

Pei Susu: "Tsk, hypocritical woman!"

"Yesterday you were still kissing your younger brother, all sweet and honey, why did it change today? Sigh, women, their hearts are so hard to read!"

Listening to the cheeky words, the girl narrowed her almond eyes. Just as she was about to say something, she was interrupted, and listening to the rhetorical question on the phone, her accumulated confidence instantly deflated.

"Whatever, think what you want..."

"Really? Honest classmate Ye Zhenzhen, what were you and Gu Ran doing just now, could it be..."

Like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, Ye Zhenzhen, as if her secret had been poked, hurriedly argued: "What... what could we be doing, we... we didn't do anything!"

"You, you, you... you're dirty-minded!" As if realizing her argument wasn't strong enough, the guilty girl Ye Zhenzhen hastily added.

She was originally just talking nonsense to trick her, but the other party was so eager to explain that she immediately gave herself away.

Pei Susu suddenly became interested and asked in an excited and ambiguous tone.

"Yo~ I didn't say anything, what didn't you do~"

"Of... of course! I am his older sister!"

"Step-sister!"

"You! Pei Susu, you'll be locked in a dark room for slander!"

The girl continued to threaten, but unexpectedly, the other party didn't buy it and continued to press her.

Pei Susu: "Then... honest girl, what are you nervous about, speaking so slowly?"

"You... you misheard, I... I'm choosing my words!"

Just keep making excuses!

On the other end of the phone, Pei Susu rolled her eyes, then picked up her nail polish, coloring her nails while saying: "Do you think I look like a fool? You are clearly stuttering!"

"Non... nonsense! I... I'm cold, my lips are a bit stiff!"

Pei Susu: "???"

Lips stiff from the cold?

"Stop talking nonsense! It's 27 degrees outside and you're telling me you're cold?"

Ye Zhenzhen: "Uh... do you know about air conditioning, the kind that blows cold air?"

Pei Susu: "..."

So, she really thought she was a fool?

...

...

On the other side, the boy who was chatting enthusiastically also glanced over when he heard the commotion.

Chatting so passionately?

But soon, he was called back by the voice on the other end of the phone.

Ye Zhenzhen's toes slowly curled up. To cover up this unspeakable embarrassment, she said in a stiff tone.

"Pei... Pei Susu, if you don't get down to business, I'm going to hang up!"

Hearing this, the person on the other end of the phone was not threatened at all and continued in the same tone.

"Sigh, I just missed my older sister and came to chat with her.

Never mind, never mind, if you don't want to talk, then we won't. I've become annoying after all. I'd better not disturb the sweet time between sister and brother."

As soon as the voice fell, before the girl could react, the phone had already been hung up.

Ye Zhenzhen: "???"

Hung up just like that?

Then what was the point of this wretched girl making this call?!

Just to make her mad?!!!

She gritted her silver teeth into pieces.

Worthy of being good sisters, she actually guessed right. Someone was so happy and bored after the fresh exam results came out that she specially came to report the "good news," but was just blocked back by the girl's gunpowder.

Then it turned into primarily causing grief, and no reporting of good news.

Ye Zhenzhen took deep breaths repeatedly, constantly comforting herself in her heart.

"Amitabha. Anger harms the body. I am not mad, I am not mad, I..."

Before she could even finish consoling herself, Gu Ran's voice drifted over from the side.

"If you're feeling emotional, you just have to let it out! Exactly!"

Ye Zhenzhen took another deep breath and said emphatically, "I. Am. Not. Mad!"

Gu Ran: "Wouldn't holding it all in just make you suffer? When it comes to living life, the most important thing is to be happy!"

Ye Zhenzhen: "..."

The completely oblivious young man beside her kept babbling on, clearly unaware that danger had quietly descended upon him.

"I know you're worked up, but just calm down for a second."

Mid-sentence, Gu Ran suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck as a figure silently drifted over.

A devilish voice floated faintly into his ear.

"That makes perfect sense. So, what should someone do if they aren't happy..."

Gu Ran mechanically turned his head. Looking at Ye Zhenzhen's plastered-on fake smile, a sudden, ominous premonition welled up from the depths of his heart.

"Uh... I don't know..."

Before he could finish, the devilish voice chimed in again.

"That's okay, let your big sister tell you."

After a brief silence, Ye Jinliang, who had been saying "Hello?" into the phone for a while with no response, was just about to hang up.

Suddenly, a deafening shriek, sounding like a pig being slaughtered, erupted from the other end of the line.

Ye Jinliang: "???"

"Is a dog barking?"

Gu Ran: Where are your manners!
