For Su Ying, the culprit who caused Xie Li to be inexplicably punished by standing for four classes must be found no matter what.

So after school, she didn't give up searching and dragged Xie Li to the surveillance room.

The school's monitoring room and computer room are located together in a separate small building, hidden behind a lush bamboo forest.

The teachers in the monitoring room only allowed one person to go in to check the surveillance footage, so Xie Li had to stand outside. To avoid being surrounded by mosquitoes, she walked a little further out, and by sheer coincidence, she bumped into a group of people.

Xie Li stepped aside, but to her surprise, the other person walked towards her instead.

"You've been following me?" Pei Si squinted, looking annoyed.

Xie Li didn't understand where this question came from. "Why would I follow you?" she asked politely.

In Pei Si's eyes, it was all pretentious. "Tch, why are you pretending to be such a lady? You're such a tomboy!"

Xie Li: "..." Is this guy so cheeky?

However, Xie Li didn't care much about this provocation. She didn't want to get into a conflict, so she turned around and left.

Pei Si, however, thought she was feeling guilty. "Don't hang around me anymore! I could never be interested in you!"

This morning, he was once again lectured by Madam Pei, which annoyed him to no end. He suspected that Xie Li had secretly tattled on him to his mother.

Don't you know that pushing a man like this will lead nowhere?

Beside him, the bespectacled man chuckled, "Young Master Pei, what you said is a bit hurtful to that young lady."

Pei Si scoffed. His cold-heartedness wasn't something new. If anyone was to blame, it was Xie Li herself. She didn't even look at herself before daring to have such wishful thinking about him.

When Su Ying came out of the monitoring room, she saw the school bully standing there with his nose in the air, looking so cool, handsome, and domineering!

He couldn't help but wonder, "What is Pei Si doing? Is he sick?"

Xie Li thought for a moment and agreed, "I also think he's sick."

No wonder Ming Xiaoxiao told her to stay away from Pei Si; she was indeed quite ill.

"By the way," Su Ying said, not paying attention to that, and started talking about the results of checking the surveillance footage. "There were quite a lot of people coming and going from after school yesterday until this morning, but it was hard to pinpoint a suspect. There were also many people carrying schoolbags at that time, and the surveillance footage didn't show anything unusual..."

Xie Li wasn't surprised. "Hmm." She already knew the surveillance footage wouldn't reveal anything.

The other party was so careful, clearly very familiar with everything at the school, so it was easy to avoid leaving any suspicious points in the surveillance footage.

Since there was no result and Xie Li had a curfew, the two said goodbye and went home.

Xie Li passed by the office building. On the second-floor corridor, there was a cute, baby-faced girl on duty. Suddenly, the rag in her hand fell to the ground with a snap.

The girl's gasp was cut short as she uttered it.

She stared wide-eyed as if someone were choking her.

Xie Li didn't even raise his head. He casually kicked the rag, and it flew up and landed in the girl's hand.

Xie Li continued walking along the passageway when suddenly, another girl in front of him, carrying a bucket of dirty water, twisted her ankle, and the entire bucket of water was splashed directly at Xie Li.

Xie Li took a deep breath.

Honestly, she just wanted to get home as soon as possible, didn't want to get into conflicts with anyone, and even less wanted to fight.

Seeing that the water was about to splash on Xie Li, the other person looked panicked and said, "Excuse me, I didn't mean to!"

But he couldn't suppress the gloating smile on his lips.

Xie Li looked up at her for a moment, and then, without anyone knowing what he did, his movements were so fast that they were almost impossible to catch with the naked eye.
