"Apologizing might work, so take off your clothes!"
Yu Songyu thought that the snow at the bottom of the mountain was too thick; if she pushed her down now, it would only benefit her.
"Take off my clothes?"
Zhang Cuiying shivered, tears welling in her eyes as she looked up in confusion.
"Yes, don't you want me to forgive you? Surely that requires some sort of price?"
Yu Songyu coaxed, a cold glint in her eyes.
"If I take them off, will you let me go?"
Clang!
Upon hearing Yu Songyu's response, Zhang Cuiying steeled herself and began to tremble as she reached for her buttons. She wasn't naive; she knew that Yu Songyu's words held little trust. But what else could she do at this moment? As long as there was a glimmer of hope for survival, she would try anything!
Zhang Cuiying squatted on the ground, removing her clothes piece by piece while Yu Songyu stood by, coldly observing. Her face revealed no emotion or warmth whatsoever.
Before long, Zhang Cuiying was left completely bare, shivering from the biting cold wind that howled around her.
"Can I go now?"
Her voice trembled with a mix of sobs and chattering teeth.
"Not so fast. Do you remember how you pushed me down back then? Was it like this? Ha!"
As Yu Songyu spoke, she stepped forward and pretended to push her down the mountain.
Zhang Cuiying was startled, instinctively leaning back and tumbling straight off the cliff.
In temperatures below freezing, even without falling off the cliff, Zhang Cuiying could freeze to death.
Yu Songyu disdainfully kicked her clothes off the cliff as well before turning to leave.
With her revenge fulfilled, Yu Songyu felt quite pleased and turned back towards the small courtyard.
As for Zhang Cuiying, there was no way she could survive. Although there was deep snow at the bottom of the cliff and falling wouldn’t necessarily mean instant death, the snow was higher than a person; climbing out would be nearly impossible.
Moreover, she was completely naked; even if she didn't freeze to death, she could easily be killed by a fall.
"You're really something! Hurry up and get inside to rest!"
The firewood in the yard had already been chopped up by Wang Zhao, neatly stacked against the wall.
"It's fine, I'm almost done. This way it won't take up space here."
Wang Zhao looked up and gave Yu Songyu a silly grin, sweat glistening on his face and neck as steam rose in the cold winter air.
Yu Songyu knew that ever since her accident, Wang Zhao had been coming over to help. He took on the task of chopping wood all by himself, which made her feel a bit touched.
She went inside to find a clean towel and handed it to Wang Zhao.
The man took the towel with an even sweeter smile, looking like a simpleton.
Well, I have to say, this Wang kid isn't bad-looking; he would suit our Xiao Yu perfectly!
What good is good looks? He has no power or influence, and his family background isn't great either.
That's true, but I think the way Wang Zhao looks at our Xiao Yu is different!
So what if it's different? I see how our Xiao Yu looks at him; it's quite normal—she probably just sees him as a friend!
Old Sister is right; our Xiao Yu is quite perceptive. I must have been overthinking it!
Sigh, can't you see? She's still holding out hope for Yang Qinghe; otherwise, why would she be so focused on applying to universities in Jing City?
These two kids really have it tough. Just when they were about to discuss marriage, this happened—sigh!
If you ask me, don't worry; our Xiao Yu is a child blessed with good fortune. Just wait and see! Zhao Lian Zhi, get the pot ready and boil some water to pluck that chicken!
"Got it, Aunt Wang!"
Outside, Yu Songyu chatted with Wang Zhao while watching him chop wood. A few dogs frolicked around them, their tongues hanging out in the cold air.
The absence of Lai Fu had long been noticed. Yu Songyu's excuse was that she had sent Lai Fu to the old house to keep watch.
Everyone knew that Yu Songyu treated Lai Fu well; it wouldn't go hungry or freeze over there, so they didn't pry further.
Little did they know that Lai Fu had been quite busy lately—besides accompanying Jie up the mountain every day, it also stuck close to her Sister Xi Shi.
