"Little Sister Xiaoxiao, when are you planning to blow up Wei Zhao?" Zhong Yongliang asked, rubbing his fists together in eagerness.
"Your fireworks aren't even ready yet - what exactly am I supposed to blow up?" Feng Xiaoxiao glared at Zhong Yongliang. "Is your plan actually going to work? Don't let Wei Zhao catch on!"
"It shouldn't happen. Besides, once we've confirmed the firecrackers are strapped to him, we'll light them and blow his backside to pieces! Make him lose all face in front of everyone!" Zhong Yongliang fantasized about Wei Zhao blown into a crimson-red backside, making a spectacular fool of himself before the whole school. This was his dream!
"Fine - but when can your fireworks actually be delivered?" Mu Xiaoxiao asked, looking at Zhong Yongliang who stood there dazed.
"Soon! I've already called several times!" Zhong Yongliang said. "They're being air-freighted. Called an Eskimo tree!"
Feng Xiaoxiao gave Zhong Yongliang a strange look. Only a madman like him would air-freight a tree. "Then go play by yourself. I'm heading back."
Feng Xiaoxiao turned and walked toward the school building. One had to admit, though she appeared all-powerful as the leader of the campus Big Four Tyrants - commanding the second and third members at her beck and call - how imposing that must seem.
But Feng Xiaoxiao was utterly alone. She did not have a single true friend. Seeing silly little Shen Yushu trailing at Gu Mengyao's side, and Xi Suiyou at Wei Zhao's, Feng Xiaoxiao felt a pang of envy. They all had friends. Only she had none.
Friends? I don't need them! Feng Xiaoxiao told herself. I don't need friends, and I don't need friendship either. As long as I'm happy on my own, that's enough. It saves me from all the partings in life and death.
"Brother Liang, why does Feng Xiaoxiao seem to be in such a foul mood?" Gao Xiaofu watched Feng Xiaoxiao's lonely figure walk away and asked, puzzled.
"She just got humiliated - covered head to toe in urine. How could she possibly be in a good mood?" Zhong Yongliang pursed his lips, mildly dismissive. "Let's focus on tonight's fireworks plan instead. Do you really think Gu Mengyao will love this fireworks display of ours?"
"I think she will!" Gao Xiaofu said after a moment's thought. "Brother Ke, how about you write some love notes to Gu Mengyao, fold them into heart shapes, and hang them on the tree? When she happens to notice, she'll be absolutely thrilled!"
"Hmm, that makes sense. Go find some paper then - help me write them!" Zhong Yongliang thought it was a decent idea and nodded. There was nothing better to do right now anyway; might as well write some notes.
"The two of us probably won't be enough. We'll need to find some people to help!" Gao Xiaofu said. "But as long as we offer a little money to split among them, plenty of people should be willing to pitch in."
"Fine, I'll leave it to you." Zhong Yongliang pulled out a thousand yuan and handed it to Gao Xiaofu. "You handle this first. I'll go build some buzz."
With that, Zhong Yongliang went off to find Gu Mengyao. He wanted to tell her the news in advance - get her to come out tonight and witness his declaration of love...
"Little Shu, why did you stop digging?" Gu Mengyao watched Shen Yushu squatting on the ground, rubbing the dust off her hands, and asked curiously.
"I'm tired." Shen Yushu had long since tossed the shovel aside. At first she had found planting trees novel, but after digging for a while it wore her out, so she simply gave up, planning to wait until Gu Mengyao finished the pit, then plant both trees together in one hole. "Sister Yaoyao, let's just plant both trees in the same pit later. What do you think?"
"What do I think? You little thing sure know how to slack off! Stand up and dig with me!" Gu Mengyao's eyes rolled back in exasperation. So Shen Yushu had been treating her like free labor!
