1349 Courting Your Own Death (1/2)

Wang Yaning had long known that Little Celery had invited Zhang Zian to come to the school to control the caterpillar population. Thus, she was not easily deceived by Xu Zhuang Zhuang. Besides, even if she didn't know that, her ability to observe and comprehend was far beyond the level of standard primary school students. Had this not been the case, she would not have delighted the teachers so much.

At a glance, she saw that Xu Zhuang Zhuang's eyes were darting all around, and he was very obviously lying.

”What is that?” She pointed to the creepy caterpillar in front of him.

Although she was not in the same class as Xu Zhuang Zhuang, she knew that he was somewhat notorious in school. As the popular girl in school, she knew who the troublemakers were, as she used them as tools when she sought the praise and admiration of the teachers. They were the best tools for highlighting the contrast she brought to class, and thus, she hoped for more of them. There were many children, but there were also as many teachers in the school—they taught different classes and different grades, and they were responsible for different things. These included teaching, logistics, and administrative tasks... Any of these teachers may be the ones teaching her in the future. To start currying favor now would be helpful for her.

Therefore, she stared at Xu Zhuang Zhuang's eyes. They were clearly the eyes of the hunter staring at his prey as if to say, ”Come, come, come. If you dare, show me how naughty you can be again...”

Not waiting for Xu Zhuang Zhuang to answer her question, she pointed to the crumpled toilet paper in his hand. ”What do you intend to do with that toilet paper? Do you want to pass motion anywhere you like? I am going to report this to the teacher!”

Zhang Zian really felt that if anyone could make the strict director of the street office obey, it would be Wang Yaning.

The sudden attack on Xu Zhuang Zhuang made him panicked. He could carry the mark of bullying a girl on his back, but he wouldn't dare carry the mark of defecating in random places. If this was made public, it would be a stain on his reputation for a lifetime, and it would follow him forever. Wherever he went, people would talk about that and only that.

”No! Don't talk nonsense! I am not!”

Seeing that Wang Yaning was already taking photos of this on her mobile phone, Xu Zhuang Zhuang quickly put the toilet paper back into his pocket. When he looked down, he saw the caterpillar on the ground and immediately kicked it aside.

Well, this naughty child had some form of ADHD. Usually, when he walked on the road and encountered pebbles, empty bottles, or other things, he enjoyed kicking them for a bit. Xu Zhuang Zhuang took this even further and kicked dogs when they walked together. So he didn't think much of it, and he subconsciously did the same to the caterpillar.

It was summer now, and the active boy who was afraid of heat had already started wearing his sandals. He was smart enough not to kick the caterpillar with the exposed parts of his toes but used the soles instead—if it were a normal caterpillar, it wouldn't have been much of an issue. However, he did not know that this venomous creature would automatically eject venom when placed under stress.

”Ah!”

The caterpillar flew into the air, and he screamed. He held his feet and awkwardly stumbled to the ground.

”You are courting your own death!”

Zhang Zian, who was standing on the sidelines, was left speechless. No matter how hard he tried to prevent him from suffering, the boy seemed to seek suffering all by himself.

Little Celery and Wang Yaning didn't know what was going on and thought that he was deliberately acting pathetic to earn their pity. This was so that they would go forward and help him. This was not the first time he'd used this trick on others.

Zhang Zian knew that he was really in pain. The boy's face was bright red, and beads of sweat appeared on his face. If he had not cared that he was in school, he would have cried even louder. Here, he held his mouth shut tight and tried very hard to hold back the tears...
