Bai Tang turned his head to meet Bai Xi'er's gentle yet slightly aggrieved gaze.
She looked so pitiful, as if Bai Tang had bullied her.
Bai Xi'er glanced at Bai Tang, then turned and walked away without waiting for him to speak.
Bai Tang curled his lips, a faint, unreadable smile flickering in his eyes as he leisurely followed behind her.
When they reached a secluded corner, Bai Xi'er's tenderness instantly vanished. Glaring at Bai Tang with anger, she raised her hand and swung it toward his face.
Just looking at Bai Tang's handsome face now made her furious.
Earlier that morning, she had overheard many people whispering behind her back, saying that Bai Tang was prettier than her!
How could that idiot Bai Tang possibly compare to her?
With that thought, Bai Xi'er slightly curled her fingers, intending to use her nails to scratch Bai Tang's face!
But her hand was caught mid-air by Bai Tang.
Bai Xi'er frowned and yanked her hand back forcefully, but Bai Tang held it tight.
Pain shot through her wrist, and Bai Xi'er screamed, "Let me go!"
Bai Tang smiled, the corners of her lips curving sweetly, a hint of mischief in her eyes. "Sure!"
The moment she let go, she gave a slight push.
A cracking sound of bones dislocating made Bai Xi'er shriek, her face twisting in agony.
Shoving her away, Bai Xi'er stumbled backward and fell to the ground.
"My hand!!!"
Bai Xi'er wailed, a piercing pain radiating from her wrist.
"Bai Tang, you little wretch, how dare you—" Bai Xi'er's eyes reddened as she gritted her teeth and glared at Bai Tang, but before she could finish, she saw Bai Tang approaching her with a sinister smile.
Her words died in her throat.
An overwhelming pressure made Bai Xi'er too afraid to continue. At that moment, she was actually scared.
Bai Tang bent down slightly, slowly reaching out to grab her injured right hand, yanking her up while snapping the bone back into place.
The renewed pain made Bai Xi'er scream, staring at Bai Tang as if she were a demon.
"Still want to talk?"
Bai Tang smiled, her face innocent and harmless, as if she hadn't just broken her hand.
Bai Xi'er stepped back warily.
She suddenly regretted pulling Bai Tang into such a secluded spot—it had given him the perfect opportunity!
This little brat had no manners, only knowing how to fight and brawl!
A flash of malice and venom crossed Bai Xi'er's mind.
"Since you don't want to talk, then goodbye!"
Bai Tang chuckled, turning around with a lazy, carefree air. The sight of her only made Bai Xi'er's eyes sting even more.
How could this be?
After one car accident, why did she feel completely different?
At lunchtime, since the original Bai Tang hadn't applied for a meal card, Bai Tang had to eat outside.
She had just found a small restaurant and sat down, her food not yet served, when someone pulled out the chair beside her and a boy sat down directly.
"Oh, you dyed your hair back?"
The boy reached out, lifting a strand of hair from Bai Tang's shoulder, his tone flirtatious, his eyes roguish like a thug.
His handsome features carried the youthful, vibrant energy of his age.
His bright golden hair was strikingly conspicuous.
Bai Tang recalled the original Bai Tang's golden hair.
Zhang Xiaochu, the school bully of Nancheng High, had a bit of a connection with the original Bai Tang. That golden hair of hers had been dyed under his influence.
"I heard you got into a car accident? Did it scramble your brain?"
Zhang Xiaochu couldn't help but raise his hand to touch Bai Tang's forehead, but before his hand could reach, his wrist was caught.
