Chasing You Like a Tenacious Falcon

Time passed by another week.

Quan Zhisui was busy preparing for her final exams.

Wei Shixu hadn’t come to see her either.

Even Kong Mingze, who was usually oblivious, noticed something was off. During lunch one day, he couldn’t help but ask, “Wei Shixu, did you upset Quan Zhisui again?”

“Yes,” Wei Shixu replied calmly as he ate.

Kong Mingze was exasperated. “What did you do this time? Did you throw away her books? Her test papers? Or was it her milk tea or cake?”

Wei Shixu continued eating without answering.

Kong Mingze scratched his head. “I’m telling you, Wei Shixu, stop provoking her. It’s been two semesters already! Haven’t you figured out her personality by now? Why do you keep bullying her?”

Wei Shixu: “I’ve been holding back. I wanted to pull her hair, tug at her clothes, play with her skirt, and put crickets on her desk. But I’ve resisted doing all of that.”

Kong Mingze clutched his head. “Oh my god! Please don’t do any of that! That’s just as annoying as the boys who used to tease girls back in elementary school!”

Wei Shixu nodded. “Exactly.”

Kong Mingze: “Exactly what?! Stop saying ‘exactly’!”

…

Evening.

Wei Shixu didn’t stay at school but returned to the Wei family home.

He practiced boxing for a while, with two coaches taking turns sparring with him.

Wei Qing felt uneasy and wanted to explain himself, but he didn’t know how to bring it up.

Under Quan Feng’s fists, he couldn’t overcome his fear—it was a childhood nightmare! He had been too scared and ended up spilling everything.

Wei Shixu noticed his unease and said, “It’s a separate matter. Just focus on being a good coach.”

Wei Qing: “Yes, sir!”

Qian Cheng knocked on the door. “Young Master, we’ve found it. It’s a bank safety deposit box.”

Wei Shixu leaned forward, his eyes glinting. “How big?”

Qian Cheng: “The largest one! No one knows what’s inside.”

Wei Shixu couldn’t help but smile. “Quan Feng left behind such a big safety deposit box. Back when Muyou Company repeatedly lost large sums of money, what do you think it could be?”

Qian Cheng also smiled. “If it’s gold bars, the amount would be enormous!”

Wei Shixu: “Seventeen years. Imagine how much it’s multiplied.”

Qian Cheng: “Quan Zhisui really has the fate of becoming an overnight billionaire!”

Wei Shixu: “Her mother made thorough preparations back then. This backup plan is impressive.”

Qian Cheng nodded. “There’s also some news. The overseas lead from seventeen years ago has made progress. Coincidentally, the rental fees for the bank safety deposit box have been paid from overseas all these years.”

Wei Shixu raised an eyebrow. “Did they connect with us?”

Qian Cheng shook his head. “No. As soon as they heard we were from Liangxi Town, they refused to communicate.”

Wei Shixu paused. “They thought we were Zuo Zhiyu’s people?”

Qian Cheng nodded in agreement. “Most likely.”

Wei Shixu: “No need to hide our identity anymore. Tell them I’m from the Wei family.”

…

Review time always flew by, and in the blink of an eye, there was only one week left before the final exams.

The weather was unbearably hot, even at night.

During evening self-study, Quan Zhisui, wearing her summer uniform, was buried in her writing.

Just then, Wei Shixu walked into the classroom holding a file folder.

He headed straight for the back row and announced loudly, “Let’s go play basketball. Girls too.”

Whoosh!

The classroom emptied in an instant, with some students even grabbing their test papers and pens as they ran out. No one hesitated or objected.

With just one sentence, he had cleared the room.

Click—

Quan Zhisui put down her pen.

School bullying? Spreading rumors about him? The whole school mocking him? A sickly weakling? A medicine-dependent invalid?

How ridiculous!

If someone like him could be talked about behind his back without retaliating, she’d chop off her own head and use it as a soccer ball!

Quan Zhisui watched as he strode over and sat in the seat in front of her.

Wei Shixu placed the file folder on the desk and casually picked up an eraser from Quan Zhisui’s table. He used his index finger to hold one corner of the eraser, balancing it on the desk, while his middle and ring fingers flicked it, making it spin in place.

“Let’s have an honest conversation, Quan Zhisui,” he said.

At this moment, Wei Shixu showed no emotion. His expression was calm, with a slight air of authority.

“Fine,” Quan Zhisui replied, crossing her arms and meeting his gaze without backing down.

Wei Shixu remained emotionless, occasionally spinning the eraser. “You first? Or me?”

Quan Zhisui raised an eyebrow. “You’re the one who came to me. You go first.”

“Alright.” The eraser stopped spinning. Wei Shixu said, “Let’s start with the purpose. From the beginning, I’ve wanted to date you.”

Quan Zhisui smiled. “Well, I’m sorry. That’s not happening.”

“Hmm.” Wei Shixu’s expression didn’t change. “Then next, I’m going to threaten you.”

Quan Zhisui narrowed her eyes.

Wei Shixu shook the file folder. “Two things: a bank safety deposit box and an overseas venture capital company. Both were left to you by your mother.”

A massive fortune was right there in his hands!

Quan Zhisui’s eyes flashed with danger. “You’re truly despicable!”

Wei Shixu remained calm and nodded. “My grandfather said the same thing.”

Quan Zhisui took a deep breath. “Since we’re being honest, I have a few questions for you too.”

Wei Shixu gestured. “Go ahead.”

Quan Zhisui: “I want to know, how much have you lied to me?”

Wei Shixu: “A lot. But I can promise you that if we’re together, I won’t lie to you again, and I won’t pretend anymore.”

But then, you’d see all his dark sides!

Quan Zhisui: “The rumors at school have disappeared recently. You did that.”

“Yes.” Wei Shixu admitted. “I started them, and I stopped them. But I only told them to spread that I was a sickly weakling. The rest was their own imagination. They’re quite creative.”

As he spoke, he looked into Quan Zhisui’s eyes. “As for whether I can’t get it up or not, you can verify that yourself.”

He said this without any expression, as if he were solving a simple math problem.

Quan Zhisui wasn’t angry because she knew this was his true nature.

A wicked nature!

He hadn’t changed at all. This was who he was—the same person Quan Zhisui had seen the first time she met him.

A cunning, deceitful, and deeply flawed person!

Quan Zhisui suddenly remembered Zhuge Ying’s brilliant move last time. By hiding key details, she had misled the teachers and classmates without lying, keeping the fact that Quan Zhisui and Zuo Zichen were half-siblings a secret.

If Zuo Zhiyu hadn’t caused a scene at school, that secret might have stayed hidden forever.

So, someone like Wei Shixu, who was several levels above Zhuge Ying, would surely know how to do the same!

Quan Zhisui looked at him and asked, “Was everything about your kidnapping and how you felt about it true?”

Wei Shixu: “Yes.”

Quan Zhisui: “Did you really feel sad, angry, and resentful toward them?”

Wei Shixu: “Yes.”

Quan Zhisui smiled, a sharp smile. “But you hid some key details. What were they?”
