Xie Shizhu's ears were slightly red, he opened the car door and walked out.

Lu Ci coughed lightly and sent Xie Shizhu to the gate of the community. After watching Xie Shizhu enter the corridor, he took a taxi and left.

*

When she got home, her brother, who was two years younger than her, said with an ambiguous look on his face: "Sister, who was the boy who sent you home just now? He is so handsome."

While answering questions, Xie Shizhu took the time to say, "Don't ask questions that little brats shouldn't ask."

The younger brother chuckled, ran out of the room, and announced in the living room: "Mom, my sister fell in love early."

*

The next day, the whole school knew about Yuan Bai's confession to Lu Ci.

Yuan Bai entered the classroom with a worried look on his face and said irritably: "I'm convinced. I don't want to be gay. These people are sick and they are teasing me and Lu Ci."

Xie Shizhu gnawed on the pancake, looked at him and said, "That's fine, you see, all the girls who like you have given up on you."

Yuan Bai: "..."

He threw his schoolbag on the table and looked at Xie Shizhu, his eyes fluctuating.

He thought that it would have been nice if he had confessed his love to Xie Shizhu yesterday.

Just when I thought of this, a male student of the same grade came in from outside, holding a love letter in a high-profile manner, threw it on Xie Shizhu's desk, put his hands in his pockets coolly, and said to Xie Shizhu: "Hey, I like you."

Xie Shizhu raised his eyes to look at the other person, smiled and said: "Thank you, I like myself very much too."

"...I mean do you want to be my girlfriend?"

Xie Shizhu rejected the other party with a smile on his face: "Sorry, you are a good person, but I like to learn from boys who are better than me."

As soon as he finished speaking, the boy and Yuan Bai were stunned.

Because one of them is ranked last in the school, and the other is ranked second from last.

The boy took back his love letter in frustration and left the classroom dejectedly.

Yuan Bai lowered his head and looked at the ten written in capital letters on the monthly exam paper, and fell into silence.

Damn it, luckily I didn't confess my love to Xie Shizhu.

Well, he needs to study hard so that he can still have a chance.

*

Shu Bingbing didn't care about Yuan Bai and Lu Ci at all, because she thought she would not be able to save herself when crossing the river.

Now she is faced with leaving the Changhai City team.

Leaving means that her dream will come true.

Shu Bingbing's dream is to win the World Championships.

It's already been strangled in the cradle before it even begins.

During class, Shu Bingbing glared at the back of Xie Shizhu's head fiercely. If looks could kill, Xie Shizhu would have been chopped into pieces by Shu Bingbing.

And last night she wanted someone to teach Xie Shizhu a lesson, but she didn't expect someone to help Xie Shizhu get rid of it, causing her plan to be interrupted.

What she wanted was to cripple Xie Shizhu's legs, and then she would give those people money to silence them, and then Xie Shizhu's career would be gone.

Then she can safely represent Changhai City in the national competition.

When Shu Bingbing wanted to continue thinking of ways to deal with Xie Shizhu, the police came to find her during self-study in the evening.

Still during evening self-study, in front of the whole class, the police came to the classroom with the class teacher.

What the police meant was that Shu Bingbing was involved in a crime of intentional injury and needed to be investigated clearly.

Shu Bingbing froze on the spot, with disbelief in her eyes.

She had never seen such a scene before, and her legs became weak.

*

In the evening, when Xie Shizhu and Lu Ci were riding their bicycles back together, Lu Ci said in a calm voice: "There are relatives on that street. I asked for surveillance in that store this morning and found the three men who were following you."

Xie Shizhu suddenly pressed the brakes, his face suddenly turned pale, and he said in disbelief: "Three?"

Lu Ci: "Well, I gave the surveillance video to the police. You may go to the police station tomorrow and need to cooperate with the investigation."

Xie Shizhu lowered his eyes and whispered, "Thank you, Lu Ci."

Lu Ci pursed his lips and smiled: "No, let's go."

Xie Shizhu nodded and got on the bike again.

Lu Ci followed her, looking at the girl's ponytail blown by the wind, his obsidian eyes wavered slightly.

In fact, he should be the one thanking Xie Shizhu.

That day, Xie Shizhu blocked his eyes with his thin back in the car repair shop. Even when faced with his cruel stepfather, he would risk everything to save him.

Originally, Lu Ci's mother tolerated it again and again, but Xie Shizhu, a little girl, would call the police, which made Lu Ci's mother suddenly look away.

So I decided to divorce.

Her mother had also proposed divorce before, but was rejected by the other party and even threatened.

The mother was afraid of affecting Lu Ci, so she endured it.

This time, she saw how courageous a little girl was and decided to fight back. So her mother looked for evidence and finally succeeded in getting a divorce.

Lu Ci felt that Xie Shizhu was a beam of light for him in the darkness.

Although it was not very bright, it made him inexplicably willing to run towards the light.

*

Arriving at the gate of the community, Xie Shizhu just took two steps and suddenly returned.

Lu Ci was slightly startled, not expecting that she would turn around.

A minute later, Xie Shizhu stood in front of Lu Ci, smiled slightly and said, "Lu Ci, let's go to Nanda together."

Lu Ci actually didn't want to go to Nanjing University because there was Wang Haiyang, the person he hated the most.

But Xie Shizhu opened his mouth, how could he refuse.

Lu Ci curled his thin lips and whispered, "Okay, let's go together."

Hearing this, Xie Shizhu's eyes lit up and he skipped back home happily.

*

Xie Shizhu was interviewed by the police.

She answered truthfully.

Shu Bingbing never thought that the people she hired with money were soft persimmons. The police said a few harsh words, and these people said it all.

In an instant, Shu Bingbing became what she wanted.

Became a school celebrity.

Because she was underage, she was educated and received a major demerit in school.

Now, who doesn't know that Shu Bingbing is a bad girl, and she even used such despicable means to destroy Xie Shizhu?

Wherever Shu Bingbing goes, people point fingers at her.

After she was given a major demerit, she could no longer join the Changhai City track and field team, which was considered a self-destructive future.

*

Yuan Bai originally wanted to find a tutor to tutor him, but the thought of strangers staying in his home made him feel uncomfortable.

So he asked Xie Shizhu to be his tutor.

Not only can Xie Shizhu tutor and study for him, but he can also get closer to Xie Shizhu.

It really kills two birds with one stone.

After Yuan Bai decided on this matter, he planned to tell Xie Shizhu. After seeing Shu Bingbing in the classroom, he couldn't help but complain: "I really didn't realize you were this kind of person."

Shu Bingbing's expression suddenly froze as she was about to say hello to him.

The disgust in Yuan Bai's eyes was ready to come out, making Shu Bingbing's body go cold.

Being hated by the person you like is worse than death.

Yuan Bai had a look of disgust on his face. When he saw Xie Shizhu, he smiled like a master of face-changing, and said in a particularly soft tone: "I'll tell you something."

Xie Shizhu nodded.

Immediately afterwards, Yuan Bai told Xie Shizhu his plan.

Let Xie Shizhu be his teacher and pay her money.

Xie Shizhu agreed without even thinking.

Seeing her nodding, Yuan Bai immediately became motivated.
