Three.

That... I felt a sudden tightness in my chest and almost couldn't bring myself to ask, "Last time I brought back all the beef for Meixiang..."

Liángwú, where have you been running off to lately? As soon as I saw Liángwú, I immediately forgot about that group of people.

"Angry? What are you angry about?" I was in a trance, and I couldn't react for a moment when asked like this.

What?

Because you are stupid! I rolled my eyes.

"Really?" I welled up with tears.

Sorry, Chacha... He took a step forward and looked at me with a guilty expression. "I knew that after you applied to Chengye Academy, I went to ask my dad to arrange for me to study there too. But my dad said that as a condition of the exchange, I have to leave Linghua City and move back home..."

"Stop! Stop talking!" Liangwu shouted, interrupting me with a severe headache. His delicate porcelain-like face turned bright red. "I'll tell you everything! Actually, my family is very wealthy! My father is the president of the Tengda Consortium, and I have three older brothers. I'm the youngest... It's just that my grandfather thought I looked too much like a girl since I was young, and I didn't have any masculine qualities. So he let me live alone in Linghua City, saying that only this way can I become a capable man..."

Inside, underwear... Ryogo stared at me in astonishment.

I gave him a hard slap, and Ryogo let out a miserable scream, instantly bursting into tears and asking, "Why did you hit me?"

Oh my god, you are really unkind to me. I just got rid of the super disaster Ming Meixiang, why do you have to arrange such a cruel trial for me, a young girl in her prime!

Rejecting the preface, I thought this guy had become reliable, but I didn't expect him to come up with such a rotten idea... Look at Liangwu's delicate and weak body, if he were to replace me and be challenged by others, it would be strange if he didn't get beaten up every day...

Scammer! I looked at him with disdain. "I went to look for you. The neighbor auntie next door clearly said that you moved out. Didn't you say your parents are working abroad and you were going to live with them? Just a simple greeting would have sufficed, but you made me search for you for so long..."

Tea, I've been waiting for you at the entrance of the academy for a long time, just to tell you this news before those people!'' Liangwu blinked his watery eyes, looking at me anxiously, "The Star of the City Wilderness is actually the target of challenge hated by all the students of the City Wilderness Academy!"

Until now, I just realized that Liangwu has grown taller than me without me noticing. He is no longer the little kid who was always bullied five years ago, and would only follow behind me when he felt wronged...! Now, he even dares to gather up the courage to protect me!

Has my pride in my intelligence quotient fallen below the line, why can't I understand what he's saying: "Why?"

Really!'' He gritted his teeth fiercely, "At worst, I admit that I am the 'Star of the City'!"

Bang!

It's not that easy! Every star of the city field has the obligation to accept challenges from others. Even if you are unwilling, others will come to bully you! He suddenly grabbed my hand, his fair and tender little face full of anxiety, "Chacha, I will protect you. With me here, I will never let you face those terrible challenges alone!"

Chacha, I know you won't believe it, but this is my acceptance letter. Liangwu took out a delicate embossed white card with a look of grievance.

All the things I have eaten have now turned into colorful banknotes, flying in my mind. I originally thought it was just casually looking for something to eat at my friend's house, but it turns out I owe them a large sum of money...! ... Over the years, the things I shamelessly ate at Liangwu's house, when calculated, should also amount to a huge sum of money!

Chacha, no matter what happens, you absolutely must not voluntarily admit your identity," Ryogo held onto my arm and solemnly promised, "As for everything else, I have a way to handle it!"

I snatched it over and took a look, and sure enough, it was the admission notice from Chengye Academy. It's just that it lacks the title of "Chengye Star" compared to mine!

Actually, all of this is a big "conspiracy"! He shouted angrily, "You should have noticed it too. Except for you, everyone in Chengye Academy comes from wealthy families."

What does it matter? I looked at Liangwu with a displeased expression on my face.

Finished.

If you want to attend school in Chengye, you must be wealthy...

It is also a top-grade Kobe snowflake beef steak...

So, "I interrupted him, feeling a tightness in my throat, "The cod I found in your fridge before and ate, wasn't the kind on sale for 14.8 yuan at the supermarket, was it?"

Wait...wait! I shouted to stop because of my headache.

Chacha, don't you understand? You've been completely fooled! Liangu is getting more and more anxious, "Every year's 'Star of the City' is just a 'tool'! It's a tool to stimulate those boring young masters and ladies! Chacha, you also know that your academic performance in the national joint examination is ranked first, right? A top student like you, who has no background, will definitely be targeted when entering Chengye Academy! Those arrogant and vain young masters and ladies have long regarded challenging you as an exciting sport!" Chacha, you also know that your academic performance in the national joint examination is ranked first, right? A top student like you, who has no background, will definitely be targeted when entering Chengye Academy! Those arrogant and vain young masters and ladies have long regarded challenging you as an exciting sport!

I just felt like a row of crows flew over my head. No, I think it's better for me to pretend that nothing happened.

The blush on his pure white face gradually faded away. He remained silent for a while before speaking cautiously, "Chacha, aren't you angry?"

You're good at everything, but it's really annoying that you have this habit of wearing specific underwear every day. I've wanted to teach you a lesson since we were kids. I started casually counting on my fingers, "Monday is SpongeBob, Tuesday is Dragon Trainer, Wednesday is Pokémon..."

"Impossible!" I instinctively retorted, but deep down, a voice kept telling me that Liangwu's words might be right.

After a while, I finally couldn't help but gather up the courage to say, "Well... even if that's the case, I might as well just admit defeat! As long as I don't accept those challenges, wouldn't that be better!"

No, nothing. Liangwu focused on looking at me, his eyes were like the clearest glass, flowing with captivating light.

Are you really...?I looked up and down at the familiar, tender face in front of me, feeling a little uneasy.

I...I'm home," Ryogo said hesitantly.

However, he suddenly seemed to remember something, and his expression suddenly became tense: "By the way, Chacha, you are in great danger now!"

Liangwu doesn't speak, just silently looks at me, his eyes filled with wordless accusation.

"Because...because," Ryogo bit his lip and looked at me with concern. "That's just how the school rules are! Because you're a special admission student, the students at Shiranui Academy must hate you and challenge you!"

This heartless guy, even though it was just one summer vacation, actually completely forgot about me, his best friend. It is absolutely unforgivable!

What? I opened my mouth wide and felt like a fool.

I couldn't help but tighten the straps of my backpack and said, "Don't joke around. We've known each other since we were kids. I even know that you're wearing watermelon baby underwear today. How could I not know that you have such a powerful dad?"

"I'm sorry, Chacha, I didn't mean to keep it from you..." Liangwu cried, "But my brothers said that if you knew my identity, you might distance yourself from me..."

That's the top-quality deep-sea cod my dad air-freighted over here. He choked for a moment before answering helplessly.

Familiar is familiar, if you dare to say anything suspicious, I will still beat you!

I don't know why, but suddenly I felt a warm current surging in my heart.

The Teng family? The consortium that advertises in the prime time of CCMV and specializes in selling outrageously expensive diamonds? Is this guy Ryōgo going crazy because he can't stand the topic of underwear?
