“What difference could it make?” The system agreed instantly. “I’m sure!”
“Fine then.”
Li Miao tapped Shen Yu’s desk. “Come to the top floor of Teaching Building 1 after school today.”
“Why?” Shen Yu looked at Li Miao inquisitively, his gaze sweeping over Li Miao’s backpack.
He had seen it. Li Miao had stuffed a piece of paper with something written on it into his backpack, then spaced out for a long time.
“Why so many whys?” Li Miao raised an eyebrow.
“You two! Stand up!” A piece of chalk landed dead-on on their desks. The math teacher on the platform had finally had enough.
Did these two think he didn’t exist?!
Li Miao slowly stood up.
“Which one of you started talking first? Go stand in the back!” the math teacher said, looking at Li Miao.
Before teaching Class A, he had done his background check.
The golden-haired one was an ignorant, uneducated little tyrant, while the black-haired one was a diligent student.
Li Miao looked straight ahead without saying anything, but under the desk he kicked Shen Yu’s foot.
Shen Yu took a deep breath, a hint of gritted teeth in his voice. “It was me.”
After that, he picked up the textbook on his desk and went to stand at the back of the classroom.
Math teacher: ? Did he think I was blind? It was obviously Li Miao who spoke first!
But since the words were already out, the math teacher could not take them back. He could only look at Li Miao. “Some people, if you are not going to study, at least do not disturb others.”
Li Miao ignored him and sat down without a word.
『?』 The system bristled again.
System: “That’s it? That’s all five million gets you?”
“See? Cheap things are never good.” Li Miao propped his math book up as if he were studying.
The math teacher looked at the book in Li Miao’s hands, which was upside down, and silently recited Namo Amitabha Buddha ten times before calming down.
System: “Then what does ten million get you?”
Li Miao: “Why don’t you try it next time and find out?”
Li Miao heard a crackling sound in his mind and was startled. “Don’t tell me you short-circuited from anger?”
System: “Hmph, so you do know how to care about me?”
Li Miao: “If you short-circuit, will I get shocked?”
System: …
System: “Get lost, aaaaaah!”
After school in the afternoon, Li Miao ignored Shen Yu, picked up his backpack, and left.
Seeing Li Miao walk against the flow of people toward the upper floors, the system was baffled. “Shen Yu is the one who needs to go to the rooftop. You do not need to go.”
“I know,” Li Miao replied calmly. “I’m going to watch the show.”
Besides, since that person had so warmly invited him to the rooftop, if he did not show up, how was the good show supposed to begin?
By the time he reached the rooftop, someone was already there.
Jiang Luo stood alone on the rooftop, his figure thin as he stared into the distance.
Li Miao’s gaze flicked over the ground beneath him and then stopped at a distance. “What is it?”
“Li Miao…” Jiang Luo looked at Li Miao with a complicated expression.
In his previous life, it was because Shen Xingze had taken the candy he gave him on the first day of school, but had not eaten the little cake Li Miao gave him, that Li Miao called him to the rooftop and humiliated him severely.
In this life, he had not brought candy, so naturally nothing from the previous life had happened. But he had tossed and turned for a long time. Why should Li Miao live this life comfortably, knowing nothing?
Now it was his turn to strike back!
The next second, under Li Miao’s indifferent gaze, Jiang Luo sat straight down in the muddy water. As if that was still not enough, he smeared some mud on himself.
Li Miao: ???
Li Miao had never widened his eyes that much in either life. What kind of move was this?
“What are you doing!” An angry voice suddenly came from behind.
Both of them turned around at the same time.
Shen Xingze was standing not far away.
Today, Shen Xingze had found a note in his textbook written in crooked, uneven handwriting.
Such ugly handwriting. It was obviously Li Miao’s.
So he had finally lost his patience.
He had planned to come here, see what Li Miao wanted to do, and also make it clear to him that there was really no possibility between them.
He had not expected to see this scene as soon as he came out of the stairwell.
Li Miao stood calmly in the back, while the pitiful Jiang Luo was almost soaked through, his white shirt turned the color of muddy water.
He was looking at him with an expression full of dependence and a plea for help.
Who was right and who was wrong was obvious at a glance.
Li Miao raised an eyebrow and slowly withdrew his gaze.
The good show was starting.
So he was trying to frame him? Looks like today’s script was the innocent little white flower turning into a little green-tea act.
Li Miao glanced toward Jiang Luo, and sure enough, a trace of excitement appeared in Jiang Luo’s eyes.
“You’re getting more and more outrageous!” Shen Xingze stepped forward, raised his arm, and tried to push Li Miao.
Li Miao’s eyes turned sharp. He slapped Shen Xingze’s hand away, then used his other hand to land a solid slap on Shen Xingze. The whole sequence was smooth as water.
“Smack!”
The entire rooftop fell silent.
Only Shen Xingze’s face, slowly swelling on one side, proved that time was still passing.
Jiang Luo’s eyes widened.
How could Li Miao, how could he hit Shen Xingze? And on the face, no less!
Shen Yu, who had just leisurely walked onto the rooftop, also froze for a moment, his brows slowly lifting.
Wow.
“You!” Shen Xingze turned back, clutching the side of his face that had been struck, his expression full of disbelief.
“Sorry,” Li Miao said with a smile, shaking his hand. “Reflex.”
“You’re becoming more and more outrageous!” Shen Xingze was truly angry now. “Bullying a classmate is bad enough, but you even, even…”
You even dare to hit my face!
Li Miao smiled. “Which eye of yours saw me bullying a classmate?”
“Then how did Jiang Luo end up so miserable!” Shen Xingze’s eyes were full of disgust. “Don’t tell me he did it to himself? He’s not stupid!”
Arrogant and overbearing, and lying as easily as breathing.
“Heh,” Li Miao said with a smile, slowly crouching down, his arm resting on his knee, his eyes fixed on Jiang Luo, who sat limply on the ground. “Did I ask you to come?”
Jiang Luo stared blankly into Li Miao’s eyes.
They were very beautiful peach-blossom eyes, but he had no heart to appreciate them, because those eyes were now filled with frost. Jiang Luo had no doubt that Li Miao could kill him the next second.
But with Shen Xingze here… Jiang Luo relaxed a little. “If not you, then who!”
“Did you not hand me a note asking me to come to the rooftop?” Jiang Luo pulled a note from his pocket that looked exactly like Li Miao’s. “I know it makes you uncomfortable that I sit with Brother Xingze, but…”
Jiang Luo bit his lip.
