"What is it?" The younger brother came over with breakfast, grinning. "I think Brother Li is super handsome."

He turned to Xie Li and said warmly, "Several girls asked me for your contact information yesterday, but unfortunately, I told them you're a woman."

Xie Li: "..."

She touched her hair; it felt thick and full, but its length was a bit of a disappointment.

...For now, we can only tolerate these occasional misunderstandings.

She had just sat down and was about to open her desk drawer when she suddenly paused slightly.

Su Ying, biting into her steamed bun, asked curiously, "What's wrong? Are you afraid there might be a love letter inside?"

Xie Li shook his head, opened the desk, and with a cold expression, quickly reached out and precisely grabbed something from inside.

"There was no love letter, but there was a greeting."

"Ah! Help!" The younger brother jumped three feet high in fright, clutching his chest and looking terrified.

The two girls remained calm. Su Ying looked at the spotted snake Xie Li was holding in his hand. The little snake was still wriggling and desperately spitting out silk.

“Not poisonous.” Su Ying calmly took the snake and executed it on the spot.

The little boy felt like he was going to faint. The scene was too bloody and cruel. Why did they have to make a young boy in the prime of his life have to face this?

Xie Li glanced down at the desk drawer, where there was some scattered trash. Xie Li's cup was lying on its side, water spilled out, and the brand-new notebooks were wet and stuck together, soaked for too long, and couldn't be separated.

"Two books are missing." The textbooks weren't affected, but Xie Li could tell at a glance that physics and math were missing.

Su Ying glanced at the horrific scene inside, her expression darkening. "I'm sorry, I left early yesterday and didn't notice..."

The younger brother only came to life when he saw Su Ying put the dead snake into the bag. He ran over and immediately said, "I'll go ask who was the last to leave yesterday. Oh, and I can also check the surveillance footage."

He ran off in a flash.

Su Ying looked at Xie Li, somewhat at a loss, "Don't be sad, it's not..."

Don't cry, she may be a girl, but she's a cool girl and doesn't know how to comfort others.

"I'm fine," Xie Li said, raising his head. Su Ying looked at him, breathed a sigh of relief, and remained calm, without crying.

"We can share my textbook during class later." Su Ying took out her book and placed it in the middle.

Xie Li smiled and said, "Thank you."

Su Ying: "..." Although it was a bit inappropriate, she had just been stunned by Xie Li's smile.

My deskmate seems to be even more attractive than yesterday.

My younger brother went to ask around, but he didn't have any clue either. The surveillance footage also needs to be communicated with the server room, and they can only be shown it after school in the afternoon.

The younger brother was somewhat frustrated. This kind of thing happening on his turf was definitely not a challenge to his and Ying Ge's status!

"But don't worry, Brother Li, I've already had someone keeping an eye on things. If any suspicious person approaches your seat, report it to me immediately," the underling assured him, patting his chest.

"Also, our people have searched every corner of the campus; we guarantee we'll find your book very soon!"

Su Ying kicked him away in frustration, "I'll go myself."

Since the other party took the book, they must have hidden it. How could it be so easy to find?

Su Ying said, "I'll stay in the monitoring room all day and watch the surveillance footage. I'm sure I can find some clues."

Xie Li stopped her, "No need." If it's just about watching the surveillance footage, there's really no need.

Her eyes were dark and clear. She closed them for a moment, then opened them again, her gaze passing over the window and landing in the direction of the school's artificial lake. "...The book can't be found anymore."
