Seems… kind of reasonable.
Why did Li Miao hit him? It must be because he got anxious! Li Miao was afraid he’d always complain to his uncle!
Li Cheng looked thoughtful. Meeting Jiang Luo’s expectant gaze, he mustered up an inexplicable courage. “You’re right! I won’t submit easily!”
If he could take a beating in exchange for making Li Miao suffer, it would be worth it!
After Li Cheng left, Jiang Luo stood there with an unreadable expression.
This time, he would remove all obstacles between him and Brother Xingze!
Although in this life, Li Miao had no interaction with him yet, in the previous life Li Miao had indeed caused him harm! He was just taking reasonable and lawful revenge!
Not only that, he would also take away all the help Shen Yu had in the previous life and give it to Brother Xingze.
This time, it was his turn to protect the love between him and Brother Xingze!
On the other side, after returning to his seat, Li Cheng suddenly realized something was wrong.
No, how did he agree to Jiang Luo? He clearly didn’t want to have any more contact with Li Miao.
Oh well, a word spoken is past recalling. Li Cheng gritted his teeth. If he was going to do it, he’d do it!
Over the next few days, Li Cheng practically stared at Li Miao 24 hours a day.
Li Miao spit out his gum randomly at noon.
Li Miao didn’t turn in his homework again.
Li Miao slept for 32 minutes in Chinese class.
Li Miao skipped chemistry class.
But these were just trivial matters, especially compared to Li Miao’s feats in the junior division.
Li Cheng was a bit worried. He was planning to complain to his uncle on Friday.
Maybe heaven favored Li Cheng, because it really gave him an opportunity.
After school on Thursday, Li Miao, as usual, slung his arm around Ji Zhou’s shoulders, discussing what modified cars had arrived at the dealership.
“Wait a minute,” Li Miao suddenly stopped.
“What’s wrong?” Ji Zhou followed Li Miao’s gaze. A girl with a low ponytail had just disappeared around the corner.
She seemed to be a special admittee in their class. Called… what was her name? He couldn’t remember.
“I have something to do. You go on ahead.” A smile appeared on Li Miao’s face as he patted Ji Zhou on the shoulder.
The direction Du Shengsheng had disappeared in was a small grove.
Just Du Shengsheng alone wouldn’t have concerned him, but if Jiang Luo had also gone in that direction two minutes ago, that was different.
Jiang Luo was such a good boy, with a routine of school and home. Why would he go to a small grove where only bad students went?
There must be a reason for such unusual behavior.
Seeing that Li Miao wasn’t heading toward the school gate, Li Cheng, who had been secretly following Li Miao, brightened up. He grabbed his camera and followed.
Du Shengsheng was here for a transaction.
Since the start of school, she had been taking orders on the school forum every day, helping with homework.
These young masters and young ladies were all extremely rich. The money that slipped through their fingers was enough for her to pay for her grandfather’s medical expenses for a week.
Unfortunately, she was on duty today, so even though she hurried, she was still a bit later than the agreed time.
“Student Liu,” she said, panting as she ran into the small grove. Liu Jie was already there, sitting on a chair, a cigarette burning halfway in his hand.
“Here’s your homework.” Du Shengsheng quickly pulled out a workbook from her backpack. “Take a look.”
Liu Jie took the workbook but didn’t open it. He set it aside and instead stared straight at Du Shengsheng.
A sense of unease surged in Du Shengsheng’s heart. She adjusted her glasses. “Student Liu, take a look. If there’s no problem, I’ll be going.”
It’s okay. This is school. Liu Jie wouldn’t dare do anything, Du Shengsheng encouraged herself internally.
Moreover… Lin Shi was waiting for her at the school gate to walk home together. If she didn’t come out for a long time, Lin Shi would definitely realize something was wrong.
“They all say you’re pretty good-looking.” Liu Jie sized up Du Shengsheng and stood up.
Du Shengsheng’s face turned pale.
“So you are…” Liu Jie got closer and blew a mouthful of smoke in Du Shengsheng’s face. “I didn’t notice before. If you took off your glasses, you’d probably look pretty good.”
Du Shengsheng had bangs and wore narrow-frame red glasses. She was usually quiet and didn’t draw any attention.
But Du Shengsheng’s eyes were actually beautiful… double eyelids, slightly upturned fox eyes. When she smiled, she was enchanting.
“You’re pretty desperate for money?” Liu Jie stepped closer. Du Shengsheng was forced to step back.
“How about being with me? I can give you as much as you want.” Liu Jie laughed lecherously.
“Student Liu, please have some respect!”
Du Shengsheng wanted to run, but she was a girl. How could she break free from a boy who was half a head taller than her? Her wrist was tightly grabbed by Liu Jie.
“What do you like? Jewelry? Bags?” Liu Jie held Du Shengsheng’s wrist, watching her struggle with malicious amusement. “I can give you anything.”
Jiang Luo was hiding in the bushes, holding his breath as he watched everything.
Wait a little longer. In a moment, Liu Jie would lose control and start touching her. By the time Lin Shi arrived, Du Shengsheng’s clothes would already be torn.
Although nothing actually happened, people’s eyes were like knives, piercing Du Shengsheng, who was already introverted. She became more and more silent and withdrawn, eventually leaving Nan’en with no further news.
Jiang Luo’s goal this time was not Du Shengsheng, but Lin Shi.
Who would have thought that Lin Shi, that bookworm, would become an IT mogul in the future? As long as he rescued Du Shengsheng one step ahead of Lin Shi and won Lin Shi over to his side, Brother Xingze would definitely find it easier to defeat Shen Yu in the future!
Wait a little more. It’s not time yet… wait until Liu Jie starts making a move.
“Don’t refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. This is Nan’en.” Liu Jie was losing patience. His eyes narrowed. “I heard you have a grandfather bedridden at home?”
At the words “grandfather,” Du Shengsheng’s previously desperate eyes suddenly blazed with anger. “Try touching him if you dare!”
Du Shengsheng bit Liu Jie’s arm.
“Ahhh!! Let go of me!” Liu Jie angrily flung Du Shengsheng away. The girl fell to the ground.
Liu Jie looked at his bleeding arm, his face dark. “You won’t take the toast, so you’ll take the forfeit, huh?”
Wait a little longer. Jiang Luo watched the scene and bit his lip.
“Du Shengsheng, I will save you, but now is not the time.”
Only by letting Lin Shi see him step forward would the effect be maximized.
Du Shengsheng was ready to fight Liu Jie to the death, but the next second, Liu Jie was pulled away by a huge force.
“Who?” Liu Jie whirled around, but in the next second, he calmed down.
“Second Young Master? Why are you here?” Liu Jie put on a sycophantic smile.
Jiang Luo’s expression also changed. Why would Li Miao appear here? Could it be… that he really had been Reincarnated like him?
Li Miao was wearing his bag diagonally, his school uniform coat tied around his waist. He stood there slouching, looking extremely delinquent. Liu Jie couldn’t tell for a moment whether he was there to stop him or join him.
Li Miao ignored him and looked at Du Shengsheng. “Can you get up?”
“Yes…” Du Shengsheng stood up and straightened her clothes, looking disheveled.
Although they were students in the same class, this was the first conversation between the two.
Only then did Li Miao deign to glance at Liu Jie. “Tired of living?”
“Why didn’t you say earlier that she was your girl… Look at this mess…” Liu Jie misunderstood.
Li Miao didn’t contradict him; he just gestured for Du Shengsheng to leave first, his gaze sweeping over the surrounding bushes.
Just then, Lin Shi arrived belatedly with a group of people, holding a branch he’d picked up somewhere.
“It’s over here!”
Hearing voices in the distance, Li Miao glanced at Du Shengsheng, took off his coat, and tossed it to her.
Du Shengsheng blushed. She didn’t refuse and put on Li Miao’s coat, zipping it up to cover her collar where the buttons had popped off.
“Li Miao! Let that girl go!” Lin Shi shouted as he charged over with the branch.
As he got closer, he realized there was another person there, blocked by the corner and not visible before.
Du Shengsheng was wearing Li Miao’s school uniform. Liu Jie was bowing and scraping. Li Miao looked arrogant.
Lin Shi pointed the branch at Li Miao, then hesitated and aimed it at Liu Jie instead.
Wait, who was the enemy here?
Liu Jie was also a sharp mind. Seeing that the situation was about to blow up, he immediately started bowing and apologizing. “Sorry, it’s my fault. There were two problems in my homework I didn’t understand. I wanted to ask Student Du, but I didn’t realize I was taking so long.”
“Everyone, disperse, disperse. It’s all a misunderstanding.”
With just a few words, he twisted the facts.
Du Shengsheng wanted to refute him, but she swallowed her words, thinking of something.
Her expression was a bit dejected.
Forget it.
But Li Miao spoke up. “Oh, really?”
“Then how come I saw you get so impatient that you pushed her down?” Li Miao’s eyes were lazy.
Du Shengsheng and Liu Jie both jerked their heads up to look at him.
Liu Jie was stunned, then caught on. “Ah… right, my fault, my fault. Sorry, Student Du. I have a bad temper. How about this: I’ll compensate you with a thousand yuan for medical expenses, okay?”
So that’s it. No wonder Du Shengsheng looked so disheveled. The onlookers suddenly understood. Damn, they had overthought it. They had thought…
