Su Yu glared at Song Yaoyao.
Song Yaoyao warily took a step back, remembering to pull Song Qingling back a step with her.
More and more people gathered to watch the spectacle.
Song Yaoyao had noticed the onlookers long ago, but she did not care!
Who didn't enjoy munching on gossip and watching a good show?
She, Song Yaoyao, was no different. What was there to be surprised about?
However, Song Yaoyao noticed that the onlookers were mostly the wives, daughters, and sons of officials. There were very few ordinary citizens.
Song Yaoyao thought it was understandable that ordinary people would keep their distance for fear of getting dragged into trouble when officials' family members were fighting!
What none of them knew was that ordinary people could not hear Song Yaoyao's inner voice at all. Fear of trouble was one reason they stayed away; the other was that Song Yaoyao and the others had already finished fighting, leaving nothing more to see, so they had left.
Everyone still gathered there to watch could hear Song Yaoyao's thoughts.
These onlookers had all come specifically for Song Yaoyao.
They had been happily shopping when they heard that Song Yaoyao had gotten into a street fight. They immediately abandoned the goods they were browsing and rushed over.
That was how they had witnessed Little Lord Song fighting and heard that a man could become a woman!
How thrilling!
Their outing today had certainly not been wasted!
To avoid arousing Song Yaoyao's suspicions, some of the ladies and young misses approached Qin Mengdai, blocking her way while pretending to fuss over her with concerned questions...
Once one person finished questioning Qin Mengdai, another took her place and asked exactly the same things!
After several rounds of this, Qin Mengdai finally realized that these people did not truly care about her. They were only doing this so they could enjoy the gossip in peace!
She was nothing but a convenient prop!
These people were utterly hateful!
Qin Mengdai finally grew so fed up with the questions that she was about to explode, but several young misses stepped forward, pushed aside her maid, and supported Qin Mengdai themselves, seizing the chance to cover her mouth!
They would not let Qin Mengdai make a sound.
Meanwhile, several other ladies and young misses provided cover, surrounding Qin Mengdai.
From Song Yaoyao's angle, it looked as though those ladies and young misses were constantly comforting Qin Mengdai.
Song Yaoyao had not expected Qin Mengdai to be so popular, and she could not help pouting!
But the reality?
It was nothing like what Song Yaoyao saw!
These ladies and young misses had surrounded Qin Mengdai and covered her mouth solely to stop her from speaking and ruining things.
Was it easy for them to enjoy a little gossip?
They had to keep Song Yaoyao from noticing anything amiss while straining their ears to catch her thoughts, afraid of missing a single detail!
Qin Mengdai furiously glared at the people surrounding her. Among them were her mother's close friends, as well as her own bosom friends!
These people were utterly hateful!
To think they would treat her like this just for some gossip!
This was all that damned Song Yaoyao's fault. She would remember this grudge!
Song Yaoyao had no idea that someone had added yet another grudge against her!
Had Song Yaoyao known what Qin Mengdai was thinking, she would certainly have said, I come with a built-in hate magnet. I'm used to it.
Song Yaoyao continued grumbling inwardly:
*[Guagua, is something wrong with this Su Yu? Why does he keep glaring at me?*
It's not as if I'm the one stopping him from becoming a woman!
*Honestly, I'm speechless!]*
Suddenly, Song Yaoyao's voice grew shrill:
*[Guagua, look!*
Oh dear, I can't take this anymore!
Look at Su Yu, biting his lip with those tearful eyes. He's making me feel as if I bullied him!
Everyone's watching. I haven't done a thing!
I've stayed several steps away from Su Yu this entire time!
Look at him. Surely he isn't trying to scam me like Qin Mengdai?
These two cousins from the Su family really are cut from the same cloth. They share one inherited talent: scamming people!
Qin Mengdai did it just now, and now Su Yu is doing it too.
I must have suffered eight lifetimes' worth of rotten luck! I finally got a day off and wanted to go shopping, only to run into these two bizarre specimens!
Guagua, it suddenly strikes me that Su Yu looks just like a little green tea.
*Yes, that's exactly it. A male green tea you only encounter once in a thousand years!]*
Guagua agreed:
[I sensed it too. He positively reeks of green tea!]
Although everyone knew what green tea was, the green tea Song Yaoyao mentioned was definitely not the kind they usually drank.
"Green tea" must mean something else here!
Although they did not know what it meant, they could tell it was nothing complimentary!
Yes, they would remember the term "green tea." There were plenty of days ahead; sooner or later, they would figure it out!
How did that old song from The Legend of the White Snake go again?
A moment later, Song Yaoyao finally remembered.
Just then, everyone suddenly heard Song Yaoyao's extraordinarily piercing voice:
*[Once in a thousand years, waiting for green tea; once in a thousand years, green tea tastes so nasty!*
*Who was it whispering in my ear...]*
What madness had possessed Little Lord Song? Why had she started singing? That voice, so sorrowful and mournful, so bleak and woeful, made them feel as though they had eaten shit!
Everyone screamed inwardly: Little Lord Song, please stop singing! We only want the gossip, not your tuneless howling in that cracked-gong voice!
Su Yu did not know what "green tea" meant either, but it certainly was not anything nice.
The tears hovering in Su Yu's eyes, on the verge of falling, were forcibly held back.
Su Yu glared furiously at Song Yaoyao, gave a cold snort, stamped his foot, and left, swaying his slender waist.
Song Yaoyao watched Su Yu walk away:
[He's swaying that waist so hard it's practically swung two miles away!]
Another burst of laughter rang out in everyone's minds: Hahaha...
Only Little Lord Song could come up with something like that-swaying his waist two miles away!
Hilarious! Absolutely hilarious!
Then Song Yaoyao took out her handkerchief and flicked it in her hand. Imitating Su Yu, she first gave a cold snort, stamped her foot, and then started swaying too.
Unfortunately, after barely a few sways, she felt her back give a wrench!
Song Yaoyao was nearly in tears from the pain as she cried:
"Big Sister, help! I've thrown out my back!"
Song Yaoyao kept blaming herself inwardly:
[Song Yaoyao, that'll teach you to show off! That'll teach you! Your joy turned to sorrow now, didn't it?]
Seeing Song Yaoyao like this, the crowd could no longer hold back and burst into laughter!
This Little Lord Song was simply too funny!
Song Qingling hurried forward to support Song Yaoyao and scolded her:
"Who told you to imitate him?
"Now look what happened. You've thrown out your back!"
Song Yaoyao pouted:
"Big Sister, you can't blame me! Seeing a man sway like that made me feel completely useless as a woman, so I wanted to try it too. I never expected to end up like this!"
Song Qingling said angrily:
"I'll help you into the carriage. We're going to a clinic right now to have a physician examine your back!"
Song Yaoyao was a doctor herself, so she said:
"Big Sister, it's just a strained back. It'll get better after a little rest. It's nothing serious, so let's not go to a clinic."
