☆、Thirty-four、The Potential of a Bully (2729 words)

Li Yaxi turned and went upstairs before Song Qing could say anything more.

As soon as the door opened, Feng Zihao was sitting on the stairs of the stilted building. When he saw Li Yaxi, his lifeless eyes lit up. He ran to Li Yaxi in surprise, but hesitated for a long time, not knowing what to say.

Can he say, "I thought you weren't coming back, so I was worried sick most of the night, but when I saw you come back, I was so happy I wanted to cry?" No!

So the last thing she said was, "Ya Xi, you...you're back. Are you hungry? I'll go get you something to eat."

Li Yaxi grabbed Feng Zihao, who was about to walk towards the kitchen, and said, "No need. I just had something to drink outside, I'm not hungry, I'm so sleepy. I'm going to take a shower and go to bed. You should go to bed early too."

When Li Yaxi came out of the bathroom, she saw that Feng Zihao was still absent-minded, and she felt a little sorry for him. She guessed that he was still blaming himself and feeling annoyed about what happened that afternoon.

However, Li Yaxi has decided not to interfere with his work, but will only prepare a way out for him.

"Zihao, are you going to sleep or not?"

"Hmm, go to sleep." He wanted to ask Ya Xi which friends she had met, but he had no right to inquire, so he could only sullenly go to bed and act as a human heater for Li Ya Xi.

School started soon, and Li Yaxi struggled for a long time when it came to choosing between arts and sciences classes.

He didn't like science and wanted to choose humanities, but Feng Zihao was good at science, and it would definitely be better for him to choose science in his future business career.

However, Li Yaxi wanted to be with Feng Zihao, which gave him a headache.

In her previous life, Li Yaxi chose science so that he could leave that family as soon as possible and have a better life in the future.

But in this life, he doesn't have to worry about anything except Feng Zihao. He wants to choose what he likes, but he doesn't want to be too far away from Feng Zihao.

Li Yaxi's grades have always been outstanding and she has no weakness in any subject, so Feng Zihao was unaware that Li Yaxi liked humanities and never worried about their subject selection.

Seeing that Li Yaxi had been rather quiet lately, often lost in thought and seemingly preoccupied with something, he worried that the incident from last time had upset her. He tried to be patient, but couldn't bear to see Li Yaxi so silent and alone.

"Ya Xi, what... has been bothering you lately?"

She closed the book in her hands and sighed softly, "You'll choose science, won't you?"

"Yeah," Feng Zihao said matter-of-factly, then suddenly realized something was wrong. "You're not choosing science?"

Li Yaxi shook her head. "I haven't decided yet. I don't care about science or humanities, but humanities are easier for me to study. I... sigh... it's so annoying!"

Feng Zihao was a little stunned; he hadn't expected Li Yaxi to choose liberal arts.

If Li Yaxi chooses humanities, it means they will be in different classes.

Li Yaxi glanced at Feng Zihao's expression, somewhat reluctant. "Never mind, I still have a week to think about it. I'll think about it some more."

He pulled Li Yaxi back as she stood up to leave, his voice low and muffled.

"Ya-Xi, don't force yourself. Even if... even if we're not in the same class, we'll still go to the same school, and besides, you'll... always live here, right?"

Hearing Feng Zihao's somewhat cautious tone, Li Yaxi felt a pang of sadness.

"Idiot, what are you thinking! Do you know how expensive the rent is here? I don't have any money. Where else can I live if I don't stay here? Or are you trying to kick me out?"

"How could this be!"

Feng Zihao hurriedly tried to explain, but seeing the smile in Li Yaxi's eyes, he inexplicably felt better even though he had been tricked by her.

"Okay, okay, I'll seriously consider which subject to choose. Don't worry, no matter which subject I choose or which school or department I go to, this freeloader is definitely sticking with you."

Feng Zihao nodded with a silly grin, while Li Yaxi looked at him speechlessly. "Let go! I need to pee, you'll be responsible if I die from holding it in!"

Feng Zihao quickly let go of Li Yaxi's hand, still wearing a silly grin. If you gave him a tail, he'd be just as cute as Li Yaxi's little ears!

After much deliberation, Li Yaxi ultimately chose liberal arts.

Although he has strong logical thinking skills and is more suited to and finds science easier, perhaps he didn't choose science because of the hardships of life in his previous life, so he has some inexplicable resistance to science in this life.

Although Feng Zihao was somewhat disappointed, he didn't want to force Li Yaxi. At least they were still living together, and that alone made Feng Zihao very satisfied.

Schools generally prioritize science subjects, so Class 1 is the best science class, Class 2 is the best humanities class, and so on, with odd-numbered classes being science classes and even-numbered classes being humanities classes.

Although Class 1 and Class 2 sound very similar, they are actually located in different school buildings.

Feng Zihao was depressed about this for a long time.

Liberal arts subjects involve a lot of rote memorization. Although Li Yaxi's memory isn't photographic, she can memorize things word for word after reading them two or three times.

He was writing a novel, and his writing skills were even better than in his previous life, so he was very relaxed.

He found it strange that there was a boy in his class who always avoided him. In fact, he rarely paid attention to others except for Feng Zihao.

But when he occasionally brushed past that boy, or when their eyes met, the boy would try to avoid him.

Although she concealed it well, Li Yaxi still caught the fear deep in her eyes.

Li Yaxi was very surprised, wondering when she had any connection with this person. After thinking about it for a long time, she finally gave up and decided to just ask the person directly.

This was the first time Li Yaxi had ever intercepted someone in the restroom, across both her lifetimes.

Seeing the boy finish using the restroom and prepare to wash his hands, but then seeing Li Yaxi come out without washing his hands and turning to leave, Li Yaxi suddenly blocked his way.

"Didn't anyone teach you to wash your hands after using the toilet? It's so unhygienic!"

The man lowered his head, not daring to look at Li Yaxi, turned around to wash his hands, and then lowered his head again to leave.

When the person moved to the left, Li Yaxi blocked him to the left; when the person moved to the right, Li Yaxi blocked him to the right. Forced to do so, the person looked up cautiously at Li Yaxi.

Seeing his pitiful state, Li Yaxi suddenly felt she had the potential to be a bully. "Lift your head up!"

The man shuddered, but slowly raised his head.

He was quite good-looking; that was Li Yaxi's first impression of him.

Her nose is her nose, and her eyes are her eyes. Although they aren't very fair-skinned, they are very clean.

Li Yaxi raised an eyebrow. "What's your name?"

The man hesitated for a moment, then his normally clear voice became somewhat humble as he said, "...Qin Tian."

The name sounds quite grand, like a pillar supporting the sky?

Li Yaxi wanted to laugh, but she held it in and deliberately lowered her voice, "You've offended me, you know that!"

Qin Tian trembled again, lowered his head and remained silent. Li Yaxi was really afraid that he would cry, as she had never bullied anyone to the point of tears before.

I was originally going to scare him a little, but then I said, "Does not speaking mean you understand? Do you know what happens to people who offend me?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Tian looked up abruptly, his eyes filled with fear and pleading.

Li Yaxi was taken aback and thought about it carefully. He hadn't spent much time at school and hadn't done anything like bullying or bullying others. Why was he so scared after just a few bluffs?

He cleared his throat. "Ahem... Since you've done something wrong, you have to pay the price to atone for it. From today onwards, you'll follow me. If I go east, you're not allowed to go west. If I ask you to move a chair, you're not allowed to move a table. Understand?"

Before Qin Tian could answer, Li Yaxi turned and left, letting out a deep sigh of relief where Qin Tian couldn't see her.

It seems being a bully isn't so easy, but it's a pretty good experience.

Li Yaxi's deskmate was a lively little girl. Although the concept of gender segregation was quite strong in those days, there were naturally more girls than boys in the liberal arts class.

Many teachers were disappointed when they learned that Li Yaxi had chosen the humanities stream.

But many people were still very happy, such as the homeroom teacher of Class 2 and the students of Class 2.

Being able to study with my idol so closely is like a windfall.

Xiao Nan felt incredibly honored and excited to be Li Yaxi's deskmate, and was envied by many for a long time.
