Protagonist Became Bent and is in love with the Villain

CHAPTER - 23 Pursuing His Dream

Zhan Yu looked into Zhong Qin's hopeful eyes, and cleared his throat in an attempt to subtly change the topic, "This is someone else's private life, so we shouldn't really care."

Zhong Qin looked at him in confusion but eventually decided to move on.

By then, the food had arrived. While Zhong Qin cut into his steak, He suddenly exclaimed, "I finally remembered her! Do you know the girl that was with Ms. Lai? That was Shi Shi! The Shi Shiー from the art department!"

"Shi Shi?" Zhan Yu said the name, and his eyes gradually widened with shock.

"Yeah, Shi Shi. The young miss from the Shi family. I've heard her reputation at school wasn't very good."

"So her last name is Shi." Zhan Yu suddenly remembered that the girl had also appeared in the novel once or twice. Shi Shi was a supporting female character, and Lu Bai had disliked her so much he often made trouble for her.

Zhan Yu clearly remembered when he teleported, he heard a girl blurt out that Shi Shi was the one who pushed the original owner down the stairs.

"I didn't expect it to be her."

Zhan Yu was always an eye for an eye kind of person, but he hadn't put much thought into how he'd get his revenge. To start, he wasn't terribly experienced.

Zhong Qin observed how deep in thought Zhan Yu was, and asked, "You guys know each other?"

"We have a bit of a... complex relationship," Zhan Yu explained as he stood up. "Eat first. I need to go to the washroom."

Zhan Yu wasn't even planning on dealing with Shi Shi, yet he had already run into her. Just after leaving the washroom, he spotted Shi Shi leaning against the wall by the entrance. Shi Shi was waiting for him. "I never would've thought I'd see the Zhan family's Slut ever again in Shengjin City, but now I've had the misfortune of actually seeing you again." Shi Shi said the minute she saw Zhan Yu emerge from the bathroom.

After a long stretch of silence, the lack of reply from Zhan Yu made the interaction deeply unsettling. Shi Shi looked over at him and met her gaze directly. "Looks like you really did lose your memory. Don't remember who I am? I'll tell you. I'm Shi Shiーthe one that made you fall down the stairs."

Slap!

Just as Shi Shi finished, she was struck cleanly across the face by Zhan Yu.

Zhan Yu felt the residual sting in his palm when he retracted his hand.

It was his first time ever slapping someone, but it was a pleasure unlike any other.

Zhan smiled, looking at Shi Shi's reddened face and smirked at how ridiculous she looked. "Yeah, I did lose my memory, but thanks for reminding me. Your last name is Shi, right? I'll make sure to return the pain twice over," he said smugly.

"Don't get too full of yourself, ZHAN YU!" Shi Shi screamed. She threw herself towards Zhan Yu like a wild creature but never reached her target. Zhan Yu nimbly dodged, while also managing to take hold of Shi Shi's wrist. He twisted his body sideways and moved behind Shi Shi, locking Shi Shi's arm behind his back, and slamming her against the wall.

Shi Shi squirmed with a newfound terror as she was pinned. "You're not Zhan Yu ! He doesn't know these kinds of moves! Who are you?! Let go of me!"

"You don't need to be concerned over who I am. All you need to care about is that you're in my debt for as long as you live. And if you want me to let you go, it'll be easy enough to convince me to. Watch that mouth of yours next time, or if I'm not in a good mood, I just might decide to throw you off the side of a building. Have you ever seen the fluids that trickle out of a crushed skull?"ーZhan Yu leaned in so close that his warm breath teased Shi Shi's earー"The sight is absolutely beautiful." He relished every single syllable of his threat.
