"Anyway, you'll be studying humanities in the future, so it won't matter much if you don't study physics. You won't have to put up with that jerk from Wenling!"

"Leave the sciences to me. Let me tell you, I'm really talented at math. I've never scored below 100 in math! Pretty impressive, right?"

Xie Li couldn't help but glance at Chen Lian a few more times. Seeing the other party's arrogant expression, he couldn't help but wonder, "Is it a perfect score of 100?"

But that doesn't seem right, right? Math has been out of 150 points since junior high school, hasn't it?

Chen Lian: "..."

I asked you to praise me, not to criticize me, you science-challenged idiot!

Shen Lian stormed off to the restroom, leaving Xie Li standing there, unable to process what was so great about getting 100 out of 150.

Just as I was wondering whether I should go find Chen Lian, my attention was drawn to two uninvited guests.

The girl is Ming Xiaoxiao, and the boy is Pei Si.

She instinctively wanted to walk away, since she didn't have a habit of eavesdropping.

However, the two were talking loudly, clearly arguing. Xie Li suddenly remembered that on the first day of school, this Pei Shao seemed to be picking a fight with Ming Xiaoxiao.

Ming Xiaoxiao is the petite, delicate, and innocent type, while Pei Si is tall and imposing.

Most boys at this age are still growing and have a slender, unrefined physique, making Pei Si's muscular and masculine appearance quite striking.

But in Xie Li's view, the disparity between men and women in terms of height, weight, and physical strength is too great, and it is necessary to stop men from bullying women.

Ming Xiaoxiao: "Pei Si, are you being reasonable? What business is it of yours whether I want to work or not!"

Pei Si: "How can it not be my business? You're under my protection. If you go to work, where will I put my face?"

Pei Si has never had a good temper, so it's already quite good that he's willing to be patient and reason with Ming Xiaoxiao.

Unexpectedly, Ming Xiaoxiao's eyes widened, filled with grievance and stubbornness, and she suddenly kicked his shinbone.

Ming Xiaoxiao lightly bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, her lips moist and bearing the teeth marks, vibrant and tempting.

Pei Si's eyes changed instantly. In that instant, to stop the girl in his arms from crying, he was bewitched and restrained Ming Xiaoxiao's limbs, lowering his head.

However, things did not develop as he had hoped.

A hand suddenly landed on his shoulder. He turned around impatiently, "You're asking for it..."

Before the sound even faded, the person had already been sent flying, crashing heavily into the low bushes beside them, lying sprawled out staring at the leaves above, unable to regain their senses for a long time.

What happened? Who dared to lay a hand on him?!

Ming Xiaoxiao saw it most clearly, and screamed in an instant, forgetting even her pretense.

She glared angrily at Xie Li, "What are you doing?!" Her voice was shrill and cracked with anger.

"What happened? Xie Li, are you alright?" Chen Lian, having finished using the restroom, heard the screams and rushed in in fright.

Although Xie Li is a cool and skilled woman, she's still a country bumpkin!

What if someone bullies you with underhanded tactics?

Shen Lian rushed inside in a hurry, and then she and Xie Li stared at each other in disbelief.

"I'm fine." After Xie Li finished speaking to Chen Lian, he turned to Ming Xiaoxiao and said, "I'm sorry, I heard you struggling and saying you wanted to let go, but he tried to restrain you."

Seeing Ming Xiaoxiao help Pei Si out of the bushes with a pained expression, not caring that her bare legs were scratched and bleeding from the bushes, she couldn't help but feel a little bewildered.

Are these two really not a case of a school bully harassing an innocent girl?
