Chapter 623: Chapter 623: It Wasn’t Me Who Smashed It, It Was the Plum_1

Chu Yanxi was hit by several falling plums, issuing a series of dreadful screams; she was completely dazed by the pummeling.

Although the plums weren’t large, falling from the high treetops and hitting someone still hurt quite a bit.

That’s why the school had someone clear the plums every year.

But typically, the Plum Tree was so robust that no matter how hard a person kicked the trunk, they wouldn’t shake the large branches above. So, the school never anticipated a student would intentionally kick the trunk hard enough to knock down the plums.

Beneath the tree, Chu Yanxi was the only one hit.

The other three were fine.

Upon seeing Chu Yanxi hit, Qin Luoyun and Zhuo Hao were first shocked, then both of them couldn’t help but laugh.

Ha ha ha, serves her right for showing off; now she’s got her comeuppance.

After a while, the falling ceased, and calm returned to the area.

Chu Yanxi glared at Susu with a face full of rage, "Qin Susu, what do you mean by this?"

"I’m picking plums for Yunyun and Zhuo Hao," Susu replied.

It made perfect sense.

Wasn’t that what she had said? To have Zhuo Hao and Yunyun wait under the tree, because maybe the plums would fall at any moment.

Well, now they have.

"Then why did you hit me?" Chu Yanxi asked.

"It wasn’t me who hit you; it was the plums," Susu answered.

Plums grow on trees, and who they fall on is really anyone’s guess, right?

It could only mean that Chu Yanxi was incredibly unlucky.

Chu Yanxi was at a loss for words against Susu’s retort.

It really was just as Susu had said! Four people standing under the tree, and who got hit was purely a matter of luck!

What frustrated Chu Yanxi even more was that, although Susu had used her odd strength, it still wasn’t enough to be incriminating!

Just a pounding of a tree, the evidence simply wasn’t convincing!

Moreover, the angle of the video recording wasn’t comprehensive; the camera didn’t capture the top of the tree because it was too high.

If such a video were posted online, people might say it was prearranged, and some might even suggest someone was shaking the branches from atop the tree.

This certainly wouldn’t achieve the effect she desired!

Zhuo Hao and Qin Luoyun, delighted by the plenty of plums on the ground, quickly squatted down to gather them.

Other children nearby, drawn by the commotion, also ran over to collect plums.

The teachers tried to intervene but to no avail; everyone was squatting on the ground, happily picking fresh plums.

Some, lacking pockets to hold them, simply took off their jackets to use as makeshift containers.

Teacher Zhu felt dizzy with confusion.

How was she to explain this when the children’s parents came to pick them up in the evening?

Tantai Ming, as if seeing through Teacher Zhu’s worries, came over and said with a smile to the bewildered teacher, "Don’t worry, just tell the parents that we organized a plum picking event and that the children had a lot of fun; the parents will be happy too."

"I hope so," Teacher Zhu sighed in relief after hearing Tantai Ming’s words.

With a leisurely smile, Tantai Ming watched the scattered fruit and Susu standing amidst them; the upward curve of his lips became even more pronounced...

Qin Susu, it seems the person I’ve been looking for is indeed you.

It wasn’t until all the plums on the ground were picked up that the children dispersed.

Chu Yanxi still stood there, seething as she watched Susu and the others.

Lin Yushan and Chu Heng agreed to meet outside the Civil Affairs Bureau.

As soon as they met, Chu Heng gave a sneer and then commanded Lin Yushan, "Go in and get the certificate!"

Lin Yushan looked at Chu Heng skeptically and did not move immediately.

"What are you waiting for? Thinking of backing out? It’s too late for that!" Chu Heng said with a sneer.
