171: If You Utter Another Word in Front of Me, You Can Get Lost

If You Utter Another Word in Front of Me, You Can Get Lost

Zi Yi raised an eyebrow and replied with a question instead, "Would you have believed me if I told you?"2

Dou Zerui and Dou Xiangling were both silent.

If it was in the past, they would have never believed her.

However, Dou Zerui suddenly thought of something that was more important. "Why did you apply for Metropolis University's independent enrollment examination?"

Dou Xiangling was also curious.

They both stared at Zi Yi as they waited for her reply.

However, Zi Yi did not intend to answer and merely pursed her lips while looking back.

Dou Zerui furrowed his brow and decided to get someone to investigate.

The trio did not revisit this topic anymore. Zi Yi walked towards the equipment that Dou Zerui had managed to borrow and did a quick check.

Dou Xiangling looked at her fiddling about and asked, "Yiyi, do you require our help?"

Zi Yi shook her head. "You can just prepare your drawings."

After that, she looked towards Dou Zerui and said rudely, "You, come here and help."

Dou Zerui's expression became solemn and he said, "You should call me cousin."

Zi Yi's lips twitched and she looked away from him as she prepared to take out all the equipment.

Dou Zerui's temples throbbed and he looked as if he wanted to say something else.

However, Dou Xiangling pulled on his sleeves.

Dou Xiangling reminded, "Brother, since Yiyi asked you for your help, you should stay here then. I'll go over and discuss how to hang up the paintings with the boss."

Dou Xiangling left immediately after.

Dou Zerui stood rooted and stared at Zi Yi for a period of time. The more he looked at her, the more doubtful he was. In the end, he could no longer endure it and asked, "Cousin, with this equipment, you can replicate the scenery Dou Xiangling wants?"

Zi Yi looked at him for a second before she went back to fiddling with the equipment.

Dou Zerui took a deep breath. "You do realize that to create such realistic scenery, it requires knowledge from several different professions. You…"

"If you utter another word in front of me, you can get lost right now."

"…"

Dou Zerui felt stifled. However, he could not scold nor beat up the young lady before him. He did not want to be hated.

Ultimately, Dou Zerui shut his mouth and followed whatever instructions Zi Yi had for him.

Half a day's time passed by very quickly.

In the afternoon, the trio went out for lunch.

After being Zi Yi's helper for an entire morning, he had a whole new level of respect for her.

If not for the fact that he was sure she was their cousin, he would even suspect that she was replaced by someone else.

The trio went to a western restaurant around the area.

While the Dou siblings were ordering food, Zi Yi headed for the restroom.

The moment she came out, she coincidentally saw Qin Yuqiao and two other young ladies entering the restaurant.

Qin Yuqiao spotted her at a glance.

She whispered someone to the other two and a scheming glint flashed through their eyes as they walked up to her together.

Zi Yi looked away and intended to continue walking.

Just then, Qin Yuqiao called out to her, "Yiyi."

That tone of hers sounded as if they were still intimate.

While she called out, Qin Yuqiao hastily obstructed Zi Yi's path. "Yiyi, why didn't you even say hello? Could it be that you're still angry with me? I can explain what happened that day."

Zi Yi looked at her with a cold gaze.

Qin Yuqiao revealed a sad look. "I'm truly in the dark about the incident that day. Could it be that just because I'm acquainted with that male student, you determined that I had deliberately made him change the robot's program to come out and hurt people?"

One of the young ladies standing beside Qin Yuqiao immediately stood up for her. "Qiaoqiao, you were the one who got injured that day, why are you apologizing to her? I think she's the one who should apologize. If not because you had to block the robot for her, you would have already run away!"

Another young lady glared at Zi Yi. "That's right. This kind of woman is an ingrate. Qiaoqiao, why are you even explaining to her?"

"I treat Yiyi as my friend and I don't wish for her to misunderstand me." Qin Yuqiao looked at Zi Yi with expectation in her eyes. "Yiyi, do you believe me?"

Zi Yi had an indifferent expression. "No, I don't"
