"What do you mean by stepping on anyone? I didn't mean to step on anyone." Ming Xiaoxiao was amused by his statement.

When Jiang Yifan saw the goddess smile, he felt his heart burning and couldn't help but move a little closer to her.

"Su Ying and her friends are a bunch of hooligans, and so is Chen Lian. These people rely on their family backgrounds to get by and just coast through their time at school."

"But you and I are different. We can only get ahead by studying hard, so you don't need to pay attention to those people."

Jiang Yifan exclaimed excitedly, "It's not worth it! Our time is so precious; we should be frantically absorbing knowledge every second. Why waste it on those good-for-nothings who just drift through life?"

Ming Xiaoxiao nodded, her voice low: "I know."

Jiang Yifan glanced disdainfully at Xie Li and Su Ying's departing figures.

Some people, in the end, can't keep jumping around for long.

When the midterm exams come, the international class will face the first-ever class placement test. At that time, these maggots will deserve to fall to the dust and be easily crushed by him.

Turning his head to face Ming Xiaoxiao, he revealed a positive and enthusiastic smile.

"Xiaoxiao, keep it up! I believe you can make it into the top class soon!"

The Rocket Class was the real gathering place for top geniuses. Everyone was frantically absorbing knowledge, and they couldn't be bothered to even glance at someone like Xie Li.

"You too, keep it up!" Ming Xiaoxiao smiled and encouraged each other.

Behind Jiang Yifan's glasses, the ambition in his eyes was undeniable.

"Xiaoxiao, have you ever considered participating in the No.1 Middle School Encyclopedia King Challenge? If we team up, we're sure to make a name for ourselves!"

Ming Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, as if she was worried about something.

Jiang Yifan assumed she was worried about her abilities, and said, "Trust me, I've prepared a plan beforehand, we're sure to succeed!"

Ming Xiaoxiao then smiled, "Alright, let's give it a try."

Xie Li followed Su Ying to the school's broadcasting building.

This place is usually occupied by the music club, dance club, and broadcasting club, and they often have a big showdown, which is really exciting.

There's a small-scale joint performance today, which is a warm-up for the upcoming welcome party.

When Xie Li arrived at the scene, he realized that it was quite large. Studio 1 was the largest studio, but it was full of people.

Looking up, I saw that even the second-floor stands were packed with people, making it a truly lively scene.

Fortunately, the assistant had saved seats for them in advance. As soon as they sat down, the assistant ran over, his voice brimming with excitement: "Today, there will be a piano performance by Senior Chu Xun!"

Xie Li glanced at him and said, "You seem to have quite a few admirers."

The metal badge she broke with her bare hands that day didn't have a face printed on it that wasn't that grumpy senior, Chu Xun.

Although they both seem to have the same icy expression, the boy above has a calm and unwavering gaze, unlike that of Senior Chu Xun...

"Really? Hahaha, I'm a fan of yours now, Brother Li!" The lackey scratched his head and grinned foolishly.

His idols are all so outstanding, what should he do!

"How can a grown man say he's a fan of a woman and act like a simp? How shameless!" A sarcastic voice suddenly rang out from the crowd.

"And this woman is a tomboy, an ugly monster! Number one on the list of the most unattractive women, it's hilarious."

The henchman's face darkened, and he stood up abruptly. "Who is it? Step forward if you dare!"

There was no response from the crowd; some boys even looked up at the ceiling, feigning innocence.

It's obvious they dare to do it but not admit it; they only dare to stab people in the back.
