Chapter 7, Subtle Strategies

Everyone is eating, playing cards, or engaging in the "Mafia" game. Zhao Mingyan reserved a private room to play Mahjong and specifically invited Tang Yi to join. Chen Shang and Fan Congsi also joined in, making it four people at the table, and they ordered some beer and drinks. At first, the atmosphere was very harmonious, with back-and-forth exchanges of points, and they were having a great time.

Zhao Mingyan let out a sound and curled her lips, saying, "Since you have become my support group, you must cheer for me. We will meet tomorrow night." She waved goodbye to Tang Yi with a cheerful smile, swaying as she walked while holding her nose.

Tang glared at him fiercely and helped Zhao Mingyan up, saying: "If we are not going to the infirmary, then let us go to the restroom."

Zhao Mingyan's face immediately turned pale, as he grabbed the mahjong tiles on the table and slammed them onto the floor with a clatter. Still not satisfied, he kicked the table with his foot, causing himself to wince in pain and gasp. After a long while, he finally said: "You win"

Xia Wenqian lowered her head to sweep the floor, and whether she did not hear it or not, she did not respond to her

She appeared very excited, "Twelve years! We have known each other for a full twelve years. Since kindergarten, we have skipped classes together, played pranks on teachers, and even shared a bed. How can you abandon me for a trivial matter like a Tang translation?" As she spoke, her voice became somewhat choked, seemingly filled with grievance. The story of Chen's "fury for the sake of a beauty" had long circulated in the school.

How to choose C?

I know you want six. He kept holding back and did not strike. Originally, he thought everything was under his control, but the outcome still surprised him.

He actually took it seriously! Tang Yi felt as if he were lifting a stone only to drop it on his own foot. Left with no choice, he could only extend his right hand and gently clap three times, reminding him: "I meant all subjects, not just English."

They are all trivial books that you do not read

Yanyan, what is wrong with you? We have always been friends, haven't we? Chen did not understand the source of her anger

He gently inhaled, holding her icy hands and said, "Rest assured, I will not speak of it."

Fan Congsi asked Chen Shang what was going on. He let out a cold laugh, standing there without saying a word. He could only ask Tang Yi, "What just happened?"

Chen, in a fit of rage, laughed and said, "I want to see how you die." He pulled out the paper wad that was stuffed in her nose and threw it on the ground, "With a nose like yours, resembling a faucet, it bleeds at the slightest provocation. Don't use that to scare me. If you want to go crazy, feel free; I, the great master, will not accompany you." He then went to pull Tang Yi, saying, "Ignore her, let's go."

"Hey, you were the one who approached me first, and now you're abandoning me. Isn't that a bit irresponsible?" Chen Shang rushed forward and hugged her, speaking with a playful grin.

The other three exchanged glances at her. Tang Yi observed her expression and realized she was not joking. She pointed at Chen Shang and Fan Congsi and said, "Then, what if they go crazy?"

It was Tang Yi's turn to be the banker. Just as she was about to throw the dice, Zhao Mingyan suddenly pressed her hand down and said earnestly: "If I win this round, you will return A Shang to me. If you win, A Shang will be yours, and I will no longer trouble you. How about that?"

Fan Congsi ran over to mediate, saying, "What is going on? Why are you fighting?"

You might as well tell me to go die! This time, it was Chen Shang who wished he could just run headfirst into a wall

Chen Shang hurriedly found his exam paper, only to discover that the score of the other person was four times his own. ... His self-comforting mantra regarding exams was to hold high the banner of "high scorers must be low in ability," but this time it seemed ineffective. He stared blankly at Tang Yi's exam paper: this ...? ... isn't this gap a bit too large?

Tang Yi said: "Now is not the time to argue. Zhao Mingyan, how about this, we... we will accompany you to the infirmary, okay?"

Tang Yi, carrying Chen Shang's backpack and holding a stack of homework books in her arms, arrived at the office. Sun Laoshi was not there, nor could she see Chen Shang and He Xianyong. She inquired with other teachers and learned that "the two students who fought in the afternoon were punished by Sun Laoshi to sweep the playground." She secretly cursed him for deserving it.

In the face of overwhelming arguments, one can only remain silent and maintain discretion

He played hard to get, saying: "I won't let go until you agree to be my girlfriend first"

Fan Congsi spoke in his unique, unhurried tone: "I remember that at that time, two sixes appeared on the table"

They still claim there is none; even Chen has admitted it and fought for you. I wonder how Teacher Sun will punish him this time

Fan Congsi sat there in a daze, not saying a word from beginning to end. Li Zhe pushed him, "What are you dawdling for? It's late at night, hurry up and go chase after her." Seeing that he remained motionless, Li Zhe had no choice but to put on his clothes and run outside. It was cold and dark outside, and out of ten streetlights, five were broken, leaving no trace of Zhao Mingyan. He hurriedly took out his phone, "Hey, we agreed that you would treat us, and you left without paying. What are we supposed to do? You should come back quickly."

I am busy. Chen usually either sleeps or plays games during class, and suddenly forcing himself to concentrate and listen attentively makes it incomprehensible after a whole lesson. This is even more uncomfortable for him than going through a mountain of knives or boiling oil. In just a few days, he has already been worn down to a much thinner state.

Chen Shang saw that she was becoming increasingly nonsensical, fearing that Tang Yi might misunderstand, he hurriedly interrupted her: "Zhao Mingyan, if you continue to talk nonsense, be careful that I might hit you."

One hundred percent sincere. Tang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, thinking that people who study art are indeed more difficult to deal with than ordinary individuals

She exited the office building and walked towards Yuming Lake, where she saw him from a distance sweeping fallen leaves. He was haphazardly gathering the leaves from the sycamore tree into a pile, but as the wind blew, the leaves danced in the air, rendering his efforts futile after a long time of work. Frustrated, he threw down the broom, stood there gulping down water, and when he turned to see her, he stopped drinking and ran over to her, saying, "What brings you here?" Despite being penalized, he appeared quite happy to see her.

What to play? Chen's heart, having suffered greatly, was stirring restlessly

"Of course, I will rely on this for my livelihood in the future." She tilted her chin, looking quite pleased, glanced up and down at Tang Yi, and asked suspiciously, "Are you genuinely congratulating me or just pretending?"

Li Zhe took Chen Shang's place at the mahjong table, while Chen Shang moved a chair to sit far away. As the sounds of drawing and playing cards filled the air, the atmosphere tightened like a string being pulled taut.

On the evening of the second day, Tang Yi had to skip evening self-study, holding a glow stick and balloons to cheer for Amie's team. Upon arriving at the support group, she looked around and saw that everyone she knew was there: Chen Shang, Fan Congsi, Li Zhe, He Xianyong, and so on. Roughly counting, there were about a hundred people. She touched her nose and exclaimed, "What a grand occasion!" She nudged Fan Congsi next to her, "What are you doing here?" He, having caught a cold for several days, did not host the semi-finals. Wearing a mask, he helplessly said, "Don't mention the cold; even if I were one foot in the gates of hell, I would have to watch Zhao Mingyan's performance before I breathe my last." Tang Yi couldn't help but laugh at his words.

During the break, she returned from the teacher's office holding a stack of exam papers. "Is there mine?" Several gifted students eagerly surrounded her. She handed some of the papers to them to help distribute. Calling out names, passing out papers, inquiring about scores, moving back and forth, the classroom instantly became chaotic. Tang Yi looked at the exam paper in her hand, where a bright red "32" was glaringly printed in the upper right corner, looking down on the owner of the paper with disdain. The English exam consisted almost entirely of multiple-choice questions; even guessing would yield a score higher than that, and she truly could not understand how he managed to score so low.

The English exam consisted almost entirely of multiple-choice questions; even guessing would yield a score higher than that, and she truly could not understand how he managed to score so low.

Tang felt both amused and exasperated, "Hey, let go of me first. We can talk nicely, why act like a rogue!" Seeing that all the classmates passing by were secretly watching them, she hurriedly buried her head on Chen's shoulder. In such a large school, he was shameless, but she still had to live her life, so she could only say, "Hey, if you want me to be your girlfriend, you can't possibly score only 32 in English, right?"

Tang stared in astonishment at the chaotic scene before him, shaking his head, "I don't know either"

Zhao Mingyan let out a cold snort and said, "She is not your girlfriend, so why are you protecting her? Are you afraid that I will bully her? You heartless one, forgetting your friends for the sake of beauty, no, no, no, it is being infatuated with the new and tired of the old..."

After finishing dinner, Tang Yi and Xia Wenqian returned to the classroom. Chen Shang and Fan Congsi had already arrived, along with a few other students with whom they had a good relationship, who were gathered together chatting and laughing. Upon seeing Zhao Mingyan, Tang Yi was somewhat surprised and smiled as a form of greeting.

Fan Congsi, seeing her in such a fluster, asked in a deep voice: "Did you do it on purpose? Did you deliberately deceive?"

All day long, she heard comments like "You got a haircut, huh?" Even her language teacher teased her as a "cute young boy." With her short hair, she lost the cover of her long locks, and her features immediately appeared more playful. Her bright, chess-like black eyes paired with her round little face made her look like a character straight out of a comic book. Dressed in the same school uniform, it became difficult for people to discern her gender.

"Have you finished reading?" Tang Yi urged.

"No, you should not speak carelessly," Tang Yi initially tried to explain vigorously

He Xianyong pointed at Chen Shang, exasperated, and said: "You ask him, you ask him, I did nothing at all, he just came over and threw a punch, how is this reasonable"

He, unable to withstand the pressure, was held up by everyone from the waist up, and he kicked Chen Shang with his foot, shouting, "On what grounds do you hit people, on what grounds do you hit people!"

Chen Shangpan forcibly wrapped his arms around Tang Yi as they emerged from the "Typhoon Shelter." The night was cold and windy, and he exhaled, saying, "Are your ears cold, exposed like that?" As he spoke, he placed his own hat on her head. The hat was too large, obscuring her eyes. Tang Yi took it off and sniffed it, asking, "What scent is this? Which woman has worn it?"

Xia Wenqian came to her senses and hurriedly said: "It's nothing. I am here to take over for Fan Congsi... He is on duty, right"

Tang Yi could not tell whether she was genuinely crying or faking it, as if she were watching a free farce, only finding it amusing. Then she exclaimed, "Ah, your nose is bleeding!" She hurriedly rummaged through her pocket for a pack of tissues and stuffed them into her nostrils, saying, "Tilt your head up, tilt it up, the blood is flowing more and more..."

Since then, Chen Shang seldom arrived late or left early from school, and even attended the evening self-study sessions organized by the gifted students, persistently encouraging Fan Congsi to join him. This transformation delighted Chen's parents and his teachers, who all remarked, "He has finally seen the light!"

Tang changed the topic to ease the atmosphere, "I just saw your name on the 'Tianlai Cup' semifinal list downstairs, congratulations. Unlike me, I was eliminated a long time ago"

His words were like a heavy bomb, momentarily severing everyone's train of thought, leaving them almost unable to react. Just then, the class bell rang, and everyone released their thoughts, hurriedly returning to their seats

I do not expect you to be better than me, but at least you should pass the exam. When others ask me, "Tang Yi, how many points did your boyfriend score?" Such questions are likely to be asked by nine out of ten people. I said 32, how embarrassing!

"This is my business; if you have questions, you might as well ask him." Tang lowered his head, and the tip of his right foot slowly traced lines on the ground in a seemingly bored manner

Tang perceived provocation and disdain in her eyes, and involuntarily uttered a "good" as she tossed the dice from her hand

It was inherently unfair. Zhao Mingyan set up this scheme because she knew I couldn't win against her in Mahjong, and Li Zhe was helping her. I, I, I couldn't accept it, which is why I... " Tang Yiyue's voice grew increasingly uncertain.

The ghost wants to be your friend. Anyway, I can't let other women take you away. Will you accompany me to have some fun? She saw Chen Shang shake his head and gritted her teeth, saying: "Fine, if the mountain won't come to me, I will go to the mountain. Then I have no choice but to accompany you to evening study.

Zhao Mingyan washed her nose under the faucet. Tang Yi asked with concern, "Are you okay?" Zhao Mingyan ignored her, rolled a piece of tissue into a short segment, and stuffed it into her nose, perfectly sized. Her technique was extremely skillful. Her nose tended to bleed whenever the weather was dry, especially after she had just been rubbing it vigorously; it was no surprise that it bled. Although her tactic of self-infliction was effective, unfortunately, Chen Shang not only saw through it but was also angered and left.

School is over, and everyone is gradually dispersing. Tang Yi, holding the newly collected homework books, headed to the teacher's office. Seeing Fan Congsi about to leave, she hurriedly called out to him, "Congsi, you are on duty today." She pointed to the duty roster on the blackboard, where the name "Fan Congsi" was prominently written in one of the columns.

Chen was unable to do anything about her, not believing that the lively and active her could sit still, and did not stop her from following him

Chen Shang calmly took the exam paper, glanced at it without a second thought, and stuffed it into the drawer. He noticed Tang Yi turning her head to glance at him, her eyes brightening, and he called out to her, "Hey!" Tang Yi looked impatient, signaling him to get to the point. Chen Shang felt that the saying "A woman's heart is as hard to find as a needle in the sea" was indeed true; just yesterday they had happily dined and gone on a date, and today she had changed her demeanor. He had no choice but to say, "Can I borrow your exam paper to take a look?" Chen Shang felt that the saying "A woman's heart is as hard to find as a needle in the sea" was indeed true; just yesterday they had happily dined and gone on a date, and today she had changed her demeanor. He had no choice but to say, "Can I borrow your exam paper to take a look?"

Tang returned and told Xia Wenqian that Zhao Mingyan was impressive. Xia Wenqian asked her in what way. She widened her eyes and said: "Creating trouble for no reason, yet you are helpless against her, isn't that impressive enough?"

Tang glanced at her with a sidelong look, pursing his lips and remaining silent

Chen scratched the back of his head and said, "With a hat this big, how could she wear it"

Although Tang Yi was surprised, he still followed her to the staircase and asked with a smile, "What is it?"

"Who do you think you are to us?" Zhao Mingyan disregarded her feelings, sitting down on the ground with a thud, crossing her arms defiantly, "I will just sit here, waiting for the blood to drain out, and if I die, so be it"

No. Chen forcefully pushed her away, saying, "You can go play with Li Zhe and the others."

Oh, come on, there's no need to be shy. Being in a relationship is not against the law

Compared to the preliminary rounds dominated by entertainment, the semi-finals were a true high-level audiovisual feast, showcasing the considerable strength of the contestants. The results of the competition were announced on the spot, and the Amie duo successfully advanced to the finals. In her excitement, Zhao Mingyan decided to treat everyone, and the crowd, who had cheered her on until their voices were hoarse and their palms red, wasted no time in rushing to the nearby "Bifengtang" restaurant, where they occupied half of the hall downstairs.

Tang Yideng was immediately drenched in sweat and politely declined, saying: "I am lacking in both knowledge and ability, Team Leader. I fear I am not capable of such an important position... How about I just be a team member instead"

Zhao Mingyan approached her step by step, raising his chin and speaking in a harsh tone: "I will ask you just one question, are you his girlfriend?"

The homeroom teacher, Sun, who had a beer belly, rushed over as soon as he received the news. Standing at the door with his hands on his hips, he exclaimed, "Dare to fight in the classroom—both of you, come out!" Chen Shang and He Xianyong were taken to the disciplinary office, where they spent the entire afternoon writing self-reflections.

"Six items. What is it?" Tang Yi was unaware of why he suddenly brought up this topic

He recalled the agreement with Tang Yi, sighed, and said dejectedly: "Forget it, I might as well go back to attend evening self-study."

Zhao Mingyan took two steps back and suddenly asked, "A Shang, how many years have we known each other?"

I am holding a pair of sixes

Chen smiled and said, "Who else could there be besides you"

"Playing Mahjong?" Zhao Mingyan's eyes lit up. Playing Mahjong and singing are her two greatest hobbies

Some even enviously remarked, "How romantic!"

Chen was unable to put his mind at ease and followed over, "Zhao Mingyan, what are you sneaking around here for?"

128, I caught a cold that day and did not perform well on the exam. Tang looked somewhat dejected.

Chen jumped up from his chair and hugged Tang Yi, grinning as he said, "You have won against me; you must not casually discard it in the future."

I did not do it on purpose. Besides, even if I were to be frivolous in my translation, what of it? What business is it of yours?

You frivolous girl, how dare you speak! Chen, disregarding the objections of those around him, was determined to teach her a good lesson.

How do you know that I am not watching

Hey! Unexpectedly, Zhao Mingyan rudely called out to her, jumped down from the table, and clapped his hands, saying: "Come out, I have something to say to you"

Chen abruptly pulled Tang Yi over to himself, maintaining a serious expression as he said: "She is my girlfriend, tell me, how is this not my business?"

In front of a large crowd, Tang Yi blushed deeply and anxiously exclaimed, "What are you doing? Let go!"

He let out a soft "Oh," and the smile on his face appeared somewhat forced

Is it six? Are you sure?

Chen's face turned pale as he nodded, "I also have a condition. During this period, apart from me, you are not allowed to accept anyone else's pursuit."

"Where are you? I will come to find you." Li Zhe called Chen Shang, telling him not to worry, extorted him into paying the bill, and went to comfort Zhao Mingyan

Zhao Mingyan covered her face with both hands and cried out, "Wow!" She approached Chen Shang and threw a tantrum, saying, "Go ahead, hit me! If you have the guts, just hit me!" Chen Shang was forced to retreat awkwardly, asking, "Hey, what are you going crazy about?" She rubbed her nose vigorously and sobbed, "Tang Yi, look at him, look at him, he actually hits women. What good is such a man? You should just break up with him to avoid domestic violence in the future. Look at me, I am a bloody example of what can happen..." What good is such a man? You should just break up with him to avoid domestic violence in the future. Look at me, I am a bloody example of what can happen...

Tang Yi threw the backpack at him and said irritably, "On what basis do you claim that I am your girlfriend?"

"I won't go. When did I ever agree to be your girlfriend? You're being overly sentimental." Tang Yi was both angry and annoyed, angry at his nonsensical remarks and annoyed that everyone believed him.

Tang Yi lowered his head and stood up, "How do you remember it so clearly?"

Tang slowly raised his head and looked at him without speaking

Zhao Mingyan immediately spread her arms to shield Chen Shang behind her, like a hen protecting her chicks, and firmly stated: "Then he is mine, you are not allowed to take him away"

"If I pass the exam, you will be my girlfriend, right?" Chen Shang seemed to be making a difficult decision, furrowing his brow and gritting his teeth as he said, "Alright! Let us make a pact with a handshake; you must not go back on your word."

Please inquire if anyone is willing to exchange with me; if not, I will make up for it tomorrow

As the end-of-term exams approached, Tang Yi went to the library to borrow books and happened to encounter Fan Congsi. The two stood by the window, sipping hot coffee and conversing, while the December sunlight streamed in like floating cotton. The curtains fluttered occasionally, blown by the warm air from the heating.

With a bang, Tang Yi knocked over the coffee beside him and hurriedly scrambled to pick up the paper cup

Zhao Mingyan spat on him and said resentfully: "Bah! From now on, we part ways, the bridge is the bridge, and the road is the road, with no connection between us." He picked up his bag and left without looking back

Without finishing his sentence, Chen rushed forward and struck him hard with a punch. He Xianyong suddenly fell to the ground, his palm scraped and bleeding. He quickly got back up and, without saying a word, retaliated with a right hook. With a loud crash, Chen slammed into the table, wincing in pain. The classroom erupted in chaos as everyone rushed forward to separate them, shouting, "Stop fighting, stop fighting"

She thought for a while and raised an eyebrow, saying: "Unless you do not have a girlfriend"

He Xianyong, who has always been carefree, returned from outside and gave Tang Yi's backside a heavy slap, saying, "Hey, from Si—" Upon seeing Tang Yi turn his head, he was taken aback and quickly apologized, saying, "I'm sorry—" Tang Yi, both embarrassed and anxious, exclaimed, "He Xianyong!" He Xianyong, with a playful grin, replied, "Who told you to cut your hair, I—"

Then you still put it on for me! Tang Yi pulled the hat down onto his head and left him there alone.

Tang Yi threw her exam paper to him. Someone stopped her and asked, "What score did you get?"

Fan Congsi smiled without answering, "By the way, there is something I have been wanting to ask you. That night, what were you talking about?"

Zhao Mingyan shrugged and said nonchalantly, "Then forget it, the bet is off. Rest assured, my integrity in gambling is the best among all virtues; I am a man of my word, willing to accept defeat. Do you dare?"

Her face was smeared with blood from her nose, and Zhao Mingyan looked quite frightening. Chen Shang pulled her hand and ran outside, saying, "Let's go, let's go, to the hospital." She mumbled from her nose, "I won't go, not even if I die." Chen Shang, angered, pointed at her nose and said, "So you think you're tough. What do you really want?"

She waved the hat in her hand and said, "Are you sure Zhao Mingyan has never worn it?"

Fan Congsi stood at the door with a single-shoulder backpack, turned his head to glance at her, gently nodded, adjusted his slipping backpack, smiled, and walked away. After a while, Xia Wenqian rushed out and saw his slender figure gradually disappearing at the end of the narrow corridor, her heart feeling as if it had been lightly pricked by something. Tang Yi noticed her standing there in a daze without speaking, waved a notebook in front of her eyes, and laughed, "What are you daydreaming about!" After a while, Xia Wenqian rushed out and saw his slender figure gradually disappearing at the end of the narrow corridor, her heart feeling as if it had been lightly pricked by something. Tang Yi noticed her standing there in a daze without speaking, waved a notebook in front of her eyes, and laughed, "What are you daydreaming about!"

Chen Shang let her go, hesitated for a long time, and asked: "Then according to you, what should be done?"

Zhao Mingyan grabbed a handful of Mahjong tiles and threw them at him, saying, "Are you still going to make me angry, still going to make me angry!" Li Zhe walked over and lightly punched Chen in the stomach, saying, "You made Yan Yan cry like this, you tell me, should you be hit?" Chen nodded repeatedly, trying to please, and said, "You should hit me, you should hit me. Yan Yan, I'll let him hit you two more times to vent your anger"

She asked in a harsh tone: "What is your relationship with A Shang?"

"What is there to be busy with? Let's go out and have some fun." Zhao Mingyan pulled him along and insisted on leaving

"What books have you borrowed?" Tang Yi placed the disposable coffee cup on the ground and flipped through the books that were placed at his feet

Everyone looked at each other in confusion, seeing her with a dark expression and saying nothing, no one dared to advise her

Tang's translation leaves one in a state of bemusement

Tang nodded and gave him a playful smile

"Tang Yi, Tang Yi, are you really dating Chen Shang?" After finally enduring until the end of class, all the girls in the class rushed over to seek confirmation from her. Meanwhile, the boys gathered together, animatedly discussing "Chen Shang's furious outburst for the sake of a beauty."

"That works too, we can switch it back next time." Tang Yi looked at the scattered books and test papers on the table, gathered them all into his backpack, and murmured, "But he isn't attending evening study sessions, what should we do with the backpack?"

Alright, are you hungry? Let's go have a meal

Chen turned back to look at her, unsure of what she meant

Without waiting for Tang Yi to speak, Chen Shang pushed her aside, saying, "What are you shouting for, you lunatic?" He then said to Tang Yi, "Hey, class is starting." He gestured with his eyes for her to leave.

Which one? She leaned over to take a look. Chen was sitting, while Tang was standing with a bent posture. The two of them had their heads close together, wearing the same school uniform and both had short hair. From behind, they looked like a pair of buddies.

"Yes or no, be quick!" Zhao Mingyan acted like a willful child, refusing to give up until she got her candy. Therefore, although her tone was arrogant, her pouting and stomping actions were amusing, making her straightforwardness hard to dislike

"Alright." Tang readily agreed, completely unaware that she had been deceived. Chen passed the exam, and she was destined to be his girlfriend; if he did not pass, and could not accept the pursuit of others, she could only be his girlfriend.

Zhao Mingyan firmly held onto his arm, refusing to let him leave, "No, I want you to accompany me to play mahjong, or singing is fine too"

Fan Congsi had long heard about Zhao Mingyan's winning hand, but he did not win himself. Naturally, he hoped that Zhao Mingyan would win, as that would give him a glimmer of opportunity; however, he could not bear to see Tang Yi upset, which left him in a state of indecision. When Tang Yi saw Zhao Mingyan slam her cards down on the table, she realized that Zhao had declared a winning hand. Anxious, she thought to herself that after waiting so long without drawing the card she needed, perhaps there was no chance left. She reached out to draw a card, her thumb brushing underneath, flipping it over with a thud as she tossed it into the center of the pile on the table, shouting, "Self-draw!"

Tang spat at him, "I spit on you—"

Tang noticed that he was slouching and did not seem to be in good spirits, and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Chen looked at her in a state of confusion, stammering, "But, but, a test worth 150 points, with 90 points needed to pass, that's a lot." He had never scored so many points before.

Zhao Mingyan glanced at him and said, "Whether you agree or not is of no importance! This is a contest between her and me, and whether it succeeds or fails is entirely up to fate." He opened the door and shouted downstairs, "Li Zhe, come up here for a moment."

Chen Shang pushed the stacked cards forward, stood up, and said, "I disagree"

One day after school, Zhao Mingyan stopped Chen Shang and playfully complained, "Why haven't I seen you lately?"

"Then you are not allowed to say that I am your girlfriend in the future," Tang Yi warned him, pointing at his nose, as she removed the fragments of leaves stuck to her body and clapped her hands to leave

You speak of love at first sight to me

On the other end of the phone, Zhao Mingyan's voice was filled with despair: "I won't go back. You pay for me first, and I'll reimburse you later."

Well then, to prove your sincerity, you shall be the leader of my entourage.
