Chapter 60: Mutual Threats
【Fu Chengque】: Wen Yu, asleep? [Cat smirk]
【Fu Chengque】: I kind of forgot what you look like. Can you stand up and let me see?
【Wen Yu】: What’s your motive?
【Fu Chengque】: Rude, very rude.
【Wen Yu】: Do you really expect me to believe your nonsense?
【Fu Chengque】: Hahaha
【Fu Chengque】: Come on, please Wen Yu, let me see?
【Wen Yu】: I’m lying down, maybe tomorrow.
Wen Yu could guess that Fu Chengque definitely had some trick up her sleeve, but he didn’t know what it was for.
【Fu Chengque】: Ah, well, that’s too bad.
【Fu Chengque】: What a shame, really.
【Fu Chengque】: Can’t be helped. Since I can’t see you, and I miss you terribly, I’ll have to resort to special methods to alleviate my lovesickness.
【Fu Chengque】: [Cat sigh]
【Wen Yu】: Nice try, bring it on.
【Fu Chengque】: [Images]
【Fu Chengque】: Hahahahahaha
【Fu Chengque】: Look look look! See what great treasures I have!
Wen Yu clicked to open and found out it was photos of himself sleeping from last night!
Some were in indecent sleeping positions; some had Fu Chengque and him in the same frame, with her making funny faces; and there was one where she was holding a small dried fish next to Wen Yu’s mouth…
【Wen Yu】: Alright, so it’s revenge!
【Fu Chengque】: Wow hahaha, feels good, feels good.
【Wen Yu】: Are you going to delete them?
【Fu Chengque】: You delete the ones of me first, then I’ll delete.
【Wen Yu】: You’re not going to delete them, huh?
【Fu Chengque】: What can you do to me? [Cat smirk]
【Wen Yu】: You really won’t delete them?
【Fu Chengque】: Trying to scare me, huh?
【Fu Chengque】: Nice try! Come on, bring it on. [Cat smirk]

Next door.
Fu Chengque nestled in her small blanket, blissfully staring at her phone.
She admired the photos she took a few more times, feeling even more proud.
Hahaha, these photos would become her secret weapon, and when necessary, she could use them to crush the neighbor’s flatterer. Her own photos would no longer have any deterrent power!
What was this called?
This was called “mutual threat.”
She felt pleased for a long time without seeing a reply from Wen Yu. Feeling elated, she became even more arrogant:
【Fu Chengque】: Why haven’t you come over yet, Wen Yu? Is this all you’ve got?
【Fu Chengque】: You’re really patient [Cat pitiful]
【Fu Chengque】: You truly live up to being my strategist, teaching me the principle of “small patience leads to great strategy.”
【Fu Chengque】: You’re more formidable than I am!
【Fu Chengque】: Not talking? Scared? [Cat ecstatic] [Cat ecstatic]
【Fu Chengque】: Hello? [Cat ecstatic]
【Fu Chengque】: Ding ding
【Fu Chengque】: Hahaha, scared now? Delete the photos, and I’ll let you off the hook!
【Fu Chengque】: Call me Empress, delete the photos.
【Fu Chengque】: Spare your life!
Immediately after, she saw the most terrifying reply she had ever received:
【Wen Yu】: [Images] [Images] [Images] [Images] [Images] [Images] [Images] [Images] [Images] [Images] [Images]
【Fu Chengque】: ???????
Wen Yu sent ten photos in a row.
Close-ups, distant shots, ones where she buried her head, ones with smiles… each one different, yet each one her.
The phone dropped onto the bed with a thud, and Fu Chengque was stupefied.
When did he take these? How are there so many?
Ah! It must have been this morning, when he was sleeping!
I only took three of him, and he took ten of me!
Wuwuwu, I’m at a huge disadvantage.
If only I had taken twenty last night…
Wen Yu is too much, always bullying others.
And clearly, she struck first, so why can’t she ever gain the upper hand? Unfair, this world is doomed to destruction!
Fu Chengque pulled the blanket over her head:
Wrapped in my little blanket, no one can understand my sadness…

Monday.
After getting through the new day after the parent-teacher meeting, they relaxed.
They talked about the meteor shower over the weekend, each describing those fleeting moments, especially the one on Saturday, which left a deep impression on the people of Jiangcheng.
Mr. Chen didn’t want to see his students being so lax, they were already in their final year of high school, only a month and a half away from the end of the semester, and just half a year away from the university entrance examination. Where is there time to relax?
So, as soon as class started, he gave them a stern warning, especially targeting a certain group to make them pull themselves together.
After he left, Fu Chengque asked Wen Yu.
“Wen Yu, Mr. Chen said something and then glanced at you, did you upset him?”
Lu Min, sitting in front, turned around and sighed, “Scared me, I thought he was looking at me…”
Wen Yu said, “What else could it be? He’s reminding us to focus and prepare for the end of term. If our grades drop, mark my words, we’ll be in trouble.”
“End of term at the end of next month?” Fang Ling suddenly chimed in.
“Probably around the 20th.”
Fu Chengque’s face fell, “We’ve just finished midterms, I finally had a good time, and now we’re talking about such a sad topic immediately?”
Wen Yu said quietly, “That’s high school for you. Yesterday I roasted meat, today the meat roasts me, tomorrow the meat asks me how many kilometers I’ve walked.”
“Hahaha, indeed.”
As they were chatting, someone suddenly shouted from outside, “Wen Yu, someone’s looking for you.”
They saw Chen Minghe outside, holding drinks and snacks in his hands, with a big smile on his face, bouncing around.
Wen Yu spat disdainfully, feeling annoyed.
He needed to make it clear to him once and for all that he didn’t like men and had no interest in competing with him in piano playing.
Outside the classroom, he found another familiar face standing at a distance —
Fan Liming.
Xiao Gua’s former love interest, who was a participant in a high school romance that had come to an end. Although he didn’t know what had happened between them, it seemed that he still harbored feelings.
Fan Liming also saw Wen Yu and turned to leave.
Chen Minghe witnessed this scene and approached, asking, “An acquaintance?”
“Just an acquaintance.”
“You’re so cool with your words, Wen Yu.”
Wen Yu glanced at him. “I don’t know you well either.”
He added, “Let me make it clear. I’m not interested in you at all, and I have no intention of competing with you in playing the piano. If you continue bothering me, I’ll call the police.”
“Do you really need to call them for this?”
“You don’t seem like a good student.”
“But calling the police is a bit much.”
“It’s mainly because you’re annoying.”
Chen Minghe wasn’t offended. He took out iced tea and a bag of melon seeds from his bag and handed them to Wen Yu.
He looked almost like he was going to light a cigarette.
Wen Yu looked at the “offering” in her hand and asked, “What do you want from me?”
Chen Minghe grinned obsequiously, “Brother Wen, there’s something only you can help me with!”
“Alright, I promise!”
“Huh? I haven’t even said it yet.” Chen Minghe was confused.
“I’ll take care of your little sister. You go on your way.”
“What? What?” Chen Minghe scratched his head. “Oh, no, not that. Brother Wen, I have a very small, tiny request… Would you listen?”
“Go ahead.”
