A group of people watched Bai Tang join them on the track, slightly taken aback.
"Sister-in-law, did Big Brother kick you out to run too?" Chu Er asked.
Bai Tang smiled calmly. "I was sent by the beauty to supervise your work! Get moving, all of you, speed it up!"
As she spoke, Bai Tang walked over, picked up a stick lying nearby, and grinned at them eerily. "I'm really in the mood to hit someone right now!"
The group: "..."
Chu Yi and the others bolted forward. Zhang Xiaochu kept pace with Bai Tang, his face full of displeasure. "I told you to write a self-criticism, and what did you write?"
Bai Tang remained composed. "A self-criticism. Didn't you see it?"
"That's what you call a self-criticism?" Zhang Xiaochu sneered. "Do you think I've never seen a love letter before?"
Bai Tang raised an eyebrow, teasing him. "I never thought anyone would dare send a love letter to our school bully, Chu Ge!"
Zhang Xiaochu snorted. "I'm basically the school heartthrob, you're just blind not to see it!"
"Isn't our school's heartthrob Si Rui?" Bai Tang laughed. "When did you become one?"
"That's because I let him have it!" Zhang Xiaochu grumbled. "I don't bother fighting over those empty titles!"
He glared at her. "What's your deal? You're into that pretty boy Si Rui?"
"I already put up with you writing nonsense to Sheng Qi, and now you want to go back to your old flame?"
Zhang Xiaochu gritted his teeth. "I feel like going to beat up Si Rui right now!"
Bai Tang chuckled. "You can't beat the beauty, so you're picking on Si Rui instead?"
Zhang Xiaochu: "..."
"How could I not beat Sheng Qi? I just don't bother fighting a pretty boy, or else people will say I'm bullying him!" Zhang Xiaochu huffed. "If he weren't my boss, I'd have smacked him long ago!"
"If you dare smack him..." Bai Tang stared at him darkly. "I'll kill you!"
With that, she picked up the stick and whacked him. "Get moving, run! What are you slacking off for?"
Zhang Xiaochu: "..."
Watching their interaction from a distance, the four onlookers couldn't help but comment. You Yu sighed, "Zhang Xiaochu is about to be driven crazy by sister-in-law!"
Chu Yi said, "I envy Big Brother. He doesn't even have to deal with potential rivals himself; this girl takes care of them all!"
"Exactly, a girl who can write a heartfelt self-criticism and personally take out suitors—what a catch for Big Brother!"
Chu Er was practically green with envy.
You Yu chuckled. "With that look of envy, are you thinking of poaching from Big Brother?"
Xiao Xi laughed out loud. "See what happened to Zhang Xiaochu? If you try, you'll get beaten to a pulp!"
Chu Er: "..."
"I'm just envious of Big Brother, not looking to mess with this girl!" Chu Er huffed. "I can't handle her!"
Chu Yi calmly looked at Chu Er. "With your build, she could toss you to the ground with one hand and beat you up!"
Chu Er gave Chu Yi a resentful look. "Are you even my brother?"
Chu Yi smiled. "No!"
Chu Er: "... Get lost!"
You Yu and Xiao Xi burst out laughing.
"Laugh all you want!" Chu Er snapped.
Sheng Qi arrived, watching the lively group running around. He spoke darkly, "You all seem to be having a great time."
The group: "..."
Damn, the big boss is here!
They quickly wiped the smiles off their faces and ran like the wind.
Bai Tang also dropped the stick she'd been using to hit Zhang Xiaochu and sprinted past him.
Zhang Xiaochu: "..."
Aren't you supposed to be the supervisor?!
In an instant, Zhang Xiaochu realized they'd all been fooled by Bai Tang—she was just another one punished to run along with them!
Zhang Xiaochu gritted his teeth. Damn girl!
