A series of lowered voices carried through the drizzle—
"Which of the two women is Xi Zuzi?"
"We've been looking for Xi Zuzi's photo for a long time but haven't found it. However, it's said she's a country bumpkin... probably that clumsy one at the back?"
"Fourth Master instructed us that since Xi Zuzi tried to harm our Miss Meng, we need to make her experience the pain of being unable to enter the exam hall right before the college entrance exams!"
"They're about to cross the street. The best spot to strike would be at the traffic lights!"
A few men, cloaked in black raincoats and holding black umbrellas, exchanged glances and rushed forward together.
Their umbrella handles, glinting with cold light—each hid a knife, ready to be used by opening the handle.

Before the crosswalk, Xi Zuzi stood waiting patiently for the red light to pass.
Xi Rubao bounced along excitedly to catch up.
