Ring ring—

Just then, the school bell rang, and Xia Che tossed his textbook into his desk, stood up gracefully, and walked out of the classroom.

Even if the teacher was still on the platform and hadn't announced the end of the school day, Xia Che never cared and left as soon as it was time.

Other students didn't dare to resist the extended class time, but Xia Che wasn't one of those cowards.

The teacher couldn't do anything about Xia Che either. He rolled his eyes at Xia Che and then turned back to continue writing on the blackboard.

It's already quite good that this plague god can come to class on time; they never expected Xia Che to listen to the lectures obediently.

Xia Che naturally heard the discussions about Wei Guang from the back row.

It's not surprising that Wei Guang chose to transfer schools. After doing something like this, no matter how strong his mental fortitude is, he probably wouldn't be able to continue attending classes at Weiyang as if nothing had happened.

Of course, mistakes should be punished. Xia Che is no saint. If Wei Guang hadn't chosen to transfer schools and instead wanted to come to class as if nothing had happened, Xia Che would have given him a good dressing down.

—Do you do this without considering the consequences, and then think it's over after you've done it?

That's impossible; there's no such logic to it.

Xia Che was satisfied with Wei Guang's decision to transfer schools, so he naturally gave up the idea of ​​dealing with the kid.

Now that the scandal has ended and Wei Guang has received his due punishment, Xia Che feels that the matter is over.

"Another day has passed..."

Xia Che walked out of the Weiyang Gate, stretched comfortably, and felt relaxed.

Xia Che didn't feel anything when he skipped class, but after choosing to attend classes, the time after school every day really made him feel refreshed and incredibly comfortable.

It's true that every student looks forward to the end of school and holidays.

"Little blondie!"

Suddenly, Xia Che felt a sharp pain in his back, as if he had been hit by a semi-trailer truck. He staggered forward a few steps and turned his head to see Chu Yuying waving at him with a grin.

"What the hell are you doing? Trying to kill the landlord?"

Xia Che winced in pain. This girl looks so thin and frail, how come she hits people so hard?

No kidding, that slap just now really felt like Xia Che being hit by a half-cargo truck...

"Do you have anything else to do later?"

Chu Yuying glanced at Xia Che, whose hands were empty, and asked herself, "Hmph...you really didn't even bring your backpack. Looks like you're alright, right?"

"There's really nothing wrong. Just tell me, what are you up to now?"

Xia Che crossed his arms and asked irritably, becoming more alert.

That little devil, last night she used the excuse that she almost broke her promise to extort two ice cream mille-feuilles. Xia Che's intention was just to tease her, but he would actually buy them anyway, since he had promised.

But the little devil didn't think so. She rushed into the cake shop, grabbed two ice cream mille-feuille cakes, turned around and ran away, leaving Xia Che alone there.

Just thinking about the complicated look the shop assistant gave him last night made Xia Che's fists clench.

Are you... running away too?

These were the shop assistant's exact words. Even with Xia Che's thick skin, he couldn't help but blush to the roots of his ears and obediently paid the money.

This made things even worse for Xia Che, who was already struggling financially.

The little devil has called her back again. Does she want to do it again?

Xia Che felt a constant warning in his heart; he absolutely could not give them another chance this time!

I'm out of money!

Would you be interested in going shopping with me for a while?

Chu Yuying snorted, turned around and glanced at him sideways. She originally wanted to look down on the blond-haired guy, but since he was much taller than her, she had to compromise and use a disdainful look to achieve the effect of looking down on him.

"Not interested."

Xia Che turned and left.

Are you kidding me? I already swindled myself once yesterday, and now I want to do it again today?

I am not an innocent victim.

"Hey, you rejected me so decisively?"

Seeing Xia Che walk away so fast, almost disappearing from sight, Chu Yuying didn't care about striking any poses anymore. She rushed up and hugged Xia Che's arm, desperately trying to stop him from moving, swaying back and forth with teary eyes: "Today... today is a very important day."

"Don't be ridiculous, today isn't National Day. For me, only National Day is the most important day."

Xia Che remained unfazed, dragging Chu Yuying along as they continued walking. Even with an unknown creature on his arm, nothing could change his determination to go home.

I'm broke now and can't afford to be tormented by that little devil.

"No, no, please listen to me..."

Chu Yuying was yelling and screaming. It was only right after school, and everyone was either being kept late by the teachers, packing their things to go home, or doing their chores. So there weren't many people at the school gate. Otherwise, given Chu Yuying's current koala-like state, her image as a cool and aloof goddess in the second year of high school would have been completely shattered.

Annoyed to the point of exhaustion, Xia Che stopped walking. Using the momentum, Chu Yuying felt as if she had bumped her head into a wall, letting out a loud cry of pain.

"You only have one chance. Tell me, what important day is it?"

Xia Che looked helplessly at the little brat and admitted that he had been defeated by Chu Yuying.

This is so annoying...

Like a piece of chewing gum, she sticks to you relentlessly and won't let you go. She'll stop at nothing to achieve her goals, and you can't really hit her because she's not only unafraid of being hit, but it will actually make her feel good.

"Today is my birthday."

Chu Yuying rubbed her forehead, tears welling in her eyes, whether from the pain of the bump or something else, she didn't know. "I used to be alone. I would just buy a small cupcake to celebrate. I don't have many friends... and no relatives, so even if I wanted to go shopping to celebrate, there was no one to go with. But it's different now."

"We're good friends, right?"

Chu Yuying lowered her head, her pretty face slightly flushed: "So...so shouldn't good friends go shopping together, eat something nice, and celebrate each other's birthdays? Of course...if you're really unwilling, I've already said all this, and if it still doesn't move you, then you can leave now."

"Oh well."

Xia Che's face remained expressionless as he turned and left.

"Waaah! Are you really heartless? I've already said all this, and you still have the heart to leave? Are you even human?"

Chu Yuying reacted quickly, rushing forward and grabbing Xia Che's arm again, wailing, "I don't care! It's my birthday today, you have to go shopping with me and treat me to something to eat, you can't refuse! It only happens once a year."

"Sigh...what did I do to deserve this...?"

Xia Che had a terrible headache. He glanced at the little girl who had transformed into a koala again, and then everything went black.

I just decided to save money today...

Oh, what a tragedy.

"I give up... Let's go. Let's make it clear beforehand that we can't stay out for too long."

"Yay!"
