"Xinyi, I feel like you haven't been paying attention to me lately." Two days later, Su Ge slowly came to her senses and complained to Bai Xinyi with some helplessness.

"Really?" Bai Xinyi didn't answer her directly. The farce that had unfolded since the start of the semester told her that some things were beyond her control with Su Ge, so it was better to just give a perfunctory answer. "I've been too busy studying, I haven't noticed anything. Are you just overthinking it?"

"Really?" Su Ge looked at Bai Xinyi suspiciously, then turned her head away in frustration.

After waiting for a while, I couldn't help but start a conversation again: "Xinyi, the sports meet is coming soon, what events are you preparing for?"

"I'm not planning to sign up."

"Huh? Why?" Su Ge looked utterly bewildered. "You're not even willing to bring honor to the class?"

Bai Xinyi took a deep breath and finally said with patience, "I'm not very athletic, so even if I sign up, it won't make a difference."

"Then let's go and do logistics, like handing out water and getting tools for everyone."

"Aren't these things arranged by the sports committee member and the class monitor? We'll talk about it later."

Su Ge looked suspicious: "Xinyi, I think you've changed. Why don't you have any sense of class honor? You can study anytime."

Bai Xinyi looked at her solemnly: "Su Ge, I'm not like you who can easily get good grades. And the students in school aren't all idle rich kids. They're very capable, so I have to study hard to keep my scholarship. Therefore, I won't let go of any time or opportunity to study. Do you understand?"

"I..." Looking at her so earnestly, Su Ge lowered her head in shame. Was she really wrong? "Xinyi, do you feel that talking to you is interfering with your studies...?"

Bai Xinyi ignored her, but that was clearly the meaning behind her words.

Su Ge was greatly disappointed, and her eyes reddened again, as if she had been bullied by Bai Xinyi.

Although Ji Ye keeps his distance from Su Ge no matter what, he has been secretly keeping an eye on her to see what kind of person she is. Now, after seeing her interaction with Bai Xinyi, he feels that she is not a normal person.

Just like Bai Xinyi said, the sports meet is first a matter of voluntary registration, and then the sports committee member and class monitor will make arrangements. Why are you trying to morally blackmail your deskmate and force them? If you want to go, just go by yourself, right? Are you trying to find someone to accompany you so that you don't stand out so much?

Ji Ye felt that his decision not to participate this time was really the right one. Otherwise, if she insisted on bringing him water, wouldn't Xiao Mo misunderstand again? He didn't want to get involved in their emotional entanglements.

The sports meet was fast approaching, and Ji Ye took Song Xia's car to the Ji family early in the morning.

Meanwhile, at the other school, Su Ge kept looking for him. After searching for a long time without finding him, she subtly asked the class monitor, "Is someone missing from our class today?"

The class monitor said casually, "Isn't it normal for there to be fewer people at the sports meet?"

Su Ge was shocked: "But shouldn't everyone fight for the honor of the class?"

The class monitor kindly explained, "We are different from ordinary schools. Activities like sports meets are not included in class evaluations. They are just for students to have fun, so it's normal for some students who don't like sports not to participate."

"But Ji Ye doesn't seem like someone who doesn't like sports, and he doesn't seem to be here either."

Finally realizing her intentions, the class monitor's expression changed, and he simply replied, "He probably asked the homeroom teacher for leave, right?"

Su Ge wanted to ask more, but firstly, she couldn't find a better reason, and secondly, the class monitor had already gone far away, so she could only return to her seat dejectedly.

However, after waiting a while and seeing Han Jie come in, she had another excuse: "Han Jie, Ji Ye didn't come. Is something wrong at home?"

Han Jie was annoyed by her question: "What do you hope will happen in his family?"

Seeing that he had misunderstood, Su Ge quickly waved her hand and apologized: "I'm sorry, that's not what I meant. I just asked casually as a classmate because he didn't come."

Han Jie pondered for a moment: "There are several other students who didn't come to class. Did you ask the others?"

Su Ge's face turned pale. Even Ji Ye's good friend misunderstood her?

Han Jie finally confirmed his guess. He had thought that Ji Ye always seemed to intentionally or unintentionally stay away from Su Ge. It turned out that she really had ulterior motives. Ha, with her qualifications, how dare she think that?

Moreover, as far as he knew, Su Ge and Xiao Mo from the next class had always been at odds. Was she trying to have her cake and eat it too, not letting either of them go? That's quite ambitious!

"Han Jie, please don't misunderstand, I..."

“I didn’t misunderstand anything, Su Ge. You don’t have much contact with Ji Ye, so there’s no need for you to inquire about him. He’s very busy and doesn’t have time to deal with things. I hope you understand.”

Su Ge was particularly indignant when she heard him say that: "You are not him, so what right do you have to speak up for him?"

"If you keep arguing like this, then there's no point in it."

"How did I pester you? Han Jie, please explain yourself."

Han Jie was particularly impatient. He wasn't a very easy-going person to begin with, but he usually hung out with Ji Ye, so there was nothing that bothered him, which is why he seemed easy to talk to. But now that he saw Su Ge being so stubborn and unreasonable, he turned cold.

"Su Ge, please have some self-respect."

"Who do you expect to respect themselves?" With a furious shout, a chair was kicked heavily towards Han Jie. Xiao Mo glared at him and sneered, "So you're Ji Ye's lackey?"

Although the Han family is not as wealthy as the Xiao family, Han Jie is not afraid of him. Firstly, the two families have businesses in different sectors, and secondly, they are both young people. Su Ge provoked him first. If he shows weakness, not only will he lose face, but his friend Ji Ye will also lose face.

He then sneered, "To say something like that, it seems you don't have a single good friend. Please keep your woman in check and stop asking about the whereabouts of your male classmates."

Although the classroom fell silent after Xiao Mo's intrusion, some people couldn't help but chuckle. No one thought Han Jie had spoken harshly; everyone just thought Su Ge was shameless. Of course, there were so many people in the class, why did you single out Ji Ye for the question? Did you think everyone knew what you were up to?

Looking at Su Ge's humiliated face, Xiao Mo's anger intensified, and he raised his fist.

"This is Class One, not Class Two." The class monitor, who had just left, came back in at some point, stood next to Han Jie, stared directly at Xiao Mo, and then gave Su Ge a cold glance.

Su Ge bit her lip, her voice trembling with tears: "Xiao Mo, stop making trouble. Han Jie probably misunderstood me. He didn't mean to say those things. If you dare to lay a hand on me, I will never talk to you again."

The way she said it made it sound like Han Jie had really bullied her. The classmates who were initially wary of Xiao Mo turned cold and looked down on her.
