David Thompson and Warren Wade blocked Hannah Quinn dozens of times over the years, going back several years, but they never managed to get the upper hand with this girl—in fact, they suffered quite a few losses.
At this moment, Hannah Quinn blinked and met David Thompson's gaze, looking innocent as she said, “David Thompson, you’ve gained weight, you’re kind of blocking my way.”
“Hmph! Don’t try that with me. Your Brother Dave isn’t the rookie he used to be. This time, I’ll definitely avenge the humiliation of years past!”
David Thompson felt smug inside—he wasn’t the naive kid he used to be, and there was no way he’d get flustered by a few words from this girl anymore.
“David Thompson, you’re a real man, aren’t you? You’re not going to bully a girl, are you?” Hannah Quinn put on a scared look, peeking timidly at David Thompson.
“Cut it out! Back in the day, my Brother Dave’s reputation was ruined by you. This grudge will never end!”
David Thompson grumbled, sneaking glances at the girl in front of him, sighing inwardly—truly a femme fatale. No wonder he used to get tricked so easily; maybe he even wanted to be tricked.
“That’s right! Hannah Quinn, it’s not just Dave—even I, an outsider, can’t stand to watch. You really went too far, making Dave get called ‘bald bird’ for three years…”
“Shut up!”
Warren Wade hadn’t even finished before David Thompson cut him off sharply. This idiot always said the worst possible thing at the worst possible time—classic useless teammate.
“Pfft!”
Across from them, Hannah Quinn couldn’t keep up the act anymore. Hearing Warren Wade’s words, she burst out laughing, her chest shaking with mirth, making both David Thompson and Warren Wade swallow hard.
She and David Thompson and Warren Wade had all been classmates in junior high, and honestly, there was no real deep-seated grudge between her and David Thompson.
It was just that back then, David Thompson had just started junior high and was a real troublemaker, always picking on the girls in class.
Boys picking on girls is usually just like a peacock showing off—just trying to get their attention. The prettier the girl, the more she gets picked on.
Hannah Quinn was especially cute, and David Thompson picked on her more than once or twice.
Eventually, she got fed up and, when David Thompson went to the bathroom, tossed in a fake snake made of bamboo.
David Thompson had always been terrified of those squishy creatures, and didn’t have time to check if it was real or not—he ran out before he could even pull up his pants.
Who knew that almost the entire class was waiting outside the bathroom—of course, Hannah Quinn had called them all to watch the show.
Back then, David Thompson was just a little kid in his first year of junior high, developing a bit later than the others, so his little buddy was still all smooth and bare.
No one knows which little devil shouted “bald bird,” but from then on, that nickname stuck with David Thompson for all three years of junior high, only fading away in high school when everyone drifted apart.
Thinking about all this, David Thompson felt nothing but bitter tears. Because of that nickname, he didn’t even have a chance at a sweet first love in junior high. Even by graduation, the girls in class still called him “bald bird” behind his back—who would want to start a romance with him?
Of course, if back then Hannah Quinn had been willing to have a sweet first love with David Thompson, maybe he wouldn’t have held such a grudge.
Seeing David Thompson’s face as dark as the bottom of a pot, Hannah Quinn was laughing so hard she could barely breathe, quickly waving her hand and saying, “Li… haha… David Thompson, it’s been so many years, you’re still holding a grudge? Come on, I forgot about it ages ago.”
“Of course you’d want to forget—you weren’t the one embarrassed!” David Thompson gritted his teeth in frustration.
“You’ve blocked me dozens of times over the years. For a guy to hold a grudge this long, that’s something. The college entrance exam is coming up, and soon we won’t even see each other anymore. How about this: I’ll let you beat me up, and after that we’ll still be good friends… hahaha…” As she spoke, Hannah Quinn couldn’t help but laugh again.
Seeing Hannah Quinn surrendering, David Thompson stared at the girl’s little butt, itching to make a move—should he go up and touch it…?
No, he should give her a couple of slaps to get his revenge!
But when he saw Hannah Quinn’s half-smiling, half-mocking expression, David Thompson blushed and cleared his throat.
He muttered, “I’m not going to stoop to your level. Your Brother Dave isn’t that petty! But since you’ve seen everything, if I can’t find a wife in the future, I’ll just come find you!”
“Drop dead! Who saw you? And even if I did, I wasn’t the only one—the whole class saw, remember? Hahaha…” As she spoke, Hannah Quinn couldn’t hold back her laughter again.
Not wanting to argue with her anymore—he’d only come to “get revenge” as an excuse to see a pretty girl—now that he’d seen her, David Thompson didn’t feel like holding a grudge.
David Thompson thought to himself that he really was a gentleman, and put on a magnanimous air: “Forget it, I didn’t come to see you for revenge this time. The college entrance exam is coming up, and since we’ve known each other for so long, Hannah Quinn, which school are you planning to apply to? Your Brother Dave is thinking about whether to go too, so I can look out for you in the future.”
Hannah Quinn’s mouth dropped open, but behind her, Warren Wade looked completely unimpressed and said, “Hannah Quinn is always in the top ten of the whole grade. Last time, you were four hundred and twentieth.”
David Thompson blushed, though it wasn’t too obvious. Only now did he remember that Hannah Quinn later got into Beijing Normal University, which was a hundred times better than his own third-rate college.
