Unless someone specifically looks inside to see what's going on, they generally won't know. They could have just focused on the data, but Chu Quanyi insisted on going over to check on the progress.
As I was looking around, I ended up coming back in.
After going over the general story with Xi Xinxin, she explained to Xi Dai and the others that they were just classmates who had played together since elementary school and continued into junior high.
A bag of potato chips was opened, and Xi Xinxin, who was doing her homework next to her, heard the smacking sound: "Can you be a little quieter when you're sneaking snacks in class?"
Chu Quanyi ignored her and handed the potato chips to Sasha: "Want some?"
He then offered it to Xi Dai: "Do you want some?"
Then he stretched out his arm and placed it in front of Mei Qing: "Want some?"
Clearly, whether it was the effect of the snacks or Chu Quanyi's enthusiasm, these people became more talkative.
Looking at her, Xi Dai sighed, "You and Xi Xinxin have similar personalities."
“Like her!” Chu Quanyi exclaimed softly, “I don’t want to be like her, with that wooden-like appearance.”
Upon hearing this, Xi Dai's eyes narrowed slightly, and Chu Quanyi immediately felt a chill. She was somewhat taken aback; a novel is just a novel, yet one could sense a chill from a person's eyes.
After finishing a bag of potato chips, Chu Quanyi noticed that Xi Xinxin was still doing her homework, and suddenly felt playful: "Xinxin, let's have a competition."
Although Xi Xinxin and she hadn't been in contact for a long time, she still roughly knew what kind of person she was. She rolled her eyes and warned in a low voice, "Don't try to compete with me in terms of grades. I just do practice problems to see where I can make mistakes more naturally so that my grades can stay in the middle to upper range."
Chu Quanyi seemed certain that Xi Xinxin would compete with her: "If you win, I'll find you someone outside, how about that?"
He paused, then said, "The system really did tell you that it's nothing serious, and it doesn't matter whether we find it or not."
Chu Quanyi's eyes flashed with pity, but she quickly regained her composure: "Shall we compete or not?"
"Compare!"
The person Chu Quanyi was looking for was none other than the girl who was seriously injured protecting her. If they could find her, why not?
Xi Xinxin put down her pen and stretched: "If we're going to compare, let's all compare our recent English test scores, Xi Dai!"
The group was excited and immediately started working on practice problems.
Chu Quanyi was always overshadowed by Xi Xinxin in the past, and she was really unhappy about it. Now that she's been given a second chance at life, she's determined to teach those people from her past life a lesson!
Inside the dormitory, another person joined the conversation. Chu Quanyi noticed Xi Dai's computer and saw that she was quite skilled at playing games. Coincidentally, Chu Quanyi was also a game enthusiast. They immediately started discussing it.
As soon as Mei Qing returned to her dorm, she stared at her phone, looking somewhat anxious. Xi Xinxin sat down next to her and asked with concern, "What's wrong, Qingqing?"
“My parents accidentally hit a luxury car in their hometown. They discussed it and realized they couldn’t afford to pay the compensation right now. My parents asked if they could have a few days’ grace. The car owner then said that if they didn’t pay the full amount, they would cause trouble.”
Mei Qing became increasingly anxious as she spoke, her eyes glued to her phone: "I... I'm asking my advisor for leave. I'm going back home. I have some money on hand to ask my parents for."
Xi Xinxin stroked Mei Qing's back, and the commotion attracted the attention of the others. Xi Dai turned her gaming chair around and asked, "Was the collision serious? Are your parents alright?"
Mei Qing shook her head, tears falling: "My parents said they would handle it, but they didn't explain the situation clearly. But I want to go back and see."
Chu Quanyi suddenly stood up: "Okay! Xi Xinxin and I will go too!"
Xi Dai also wanted to go, but in the end, the counselor said that too many people could take leave at once, so she was refused.
Mei Qing's hometown wasn't very far away. The few of them bought the nearest tickets and arrived at their destination in three hours.
Most houses in rural areas are self-built.
When Mei Qing's parents saw her return, they couldn't help but scold her: "Why don't you listen to us? Your parents can handle things themselves. Why did you bring your classmates back? Look at those two pretty kids. Come on, your uncle and aunt will cook for you."
Mei Qing's eyes reddened: "Mom, what exactly happened?"
Even now, they recounted what happened. When Mei Qing's father was driving, the other car kept squeezing into the narrow lane, and because the road was already narrow, they accidentally scraped it.
My father originally thought that since it's a Porsche, there's nothing that can be done if it gets scratched accidentally. He figured he could just pay four or five thousand yuan in compensation, since the scratch wasn't that big.
When the man got out, he was aggressive and pointed out all the damage to the car, including some old ones, and immediately demanded 180,000.
They couldn't possibly come up with 180,000 yuan all at once. They wanted to discuss it calmly, but the man said he'd cause trouble tomorrow if they didn't pay.
They even called the police to negotiate, and four thousand in repair fees were paid. But as soon as the police chief left, the man reverted to his old ways, clearly determined not to give up until he got the eighteen thousand.
"Qingqing, don't worry, your parents are already borrowing money. It's fine to let your friend stay at home for a day."
Mei Qing said loudly in anger, "You've already compensated us, how can you do this! You still keep asking for money!"
Xi Xinxin patted Mei Qing's back: "It's okay, I have a way."
Mei Qing calmed down in an instant. Mei Qing's parents were also surprised. They knew that Mei Qing had always been very stubborn since she was a child. They thought that she would have to argue for a while. This little girl calmed Mei Qing down with just one sentence.
On the way there, Mei Qing even applied concealer to her neck to avoid worrying her parents.
That night, Xi Xinxin and Mei Qing slept in the same bed. Chu Quanyi slept in the next room.
Xi Xinxin touched the wound and felt Mei Qing trembling: "Do you have to wear concealer every time you see your parents? Let's repair this scar. There's nothing wrong with being beautiful. I'll protect you from now on."
Those vow-like words kept playing in her ears. Mei Qing closed her eyes and squeezed Xi Xinxin's hand back: "Okay."
Sure enough, those people came to make trouble early in the morning, acting as if they were determined to get the 180,000.
Chu Quanyi tapped her glasses on the people, and a glimpse of data appeared in her eyes. She operated it a few times, and finally seemed to realize something and put her hands down.
The man brought several brothers with him, each of whom looked fierce and menacing.
Mei Qing's parents wanted to discuss something else. Mei Qing was also indignant and wanted to argue, but Chu Quanyi stopped them.
The man spotted Xi Xinxin and the others at a glance: "Oh, you have three beautiful daughters. Marry any one of them and I'll waive your 180,000."
Mei Qing's father was so angry that he was breathing heavily. He really wanted to go up and hit someone, but Chu Quanyi forcibly stopped him.
Only Xi Xinxin stepped forward and picked up a stone to cushion the weight.
Before the words "Oh, you're going to offer yourself up..." could be uttered, the stone struck the man directly in the mouth.
A trickle of blood flowed out.
"You bitch, are you out of your mind?!"
Chu Quanyi immediately pulled the group into the room and closed the door. Mei Qing was anxious and wanted to resist.
"Uncle and Aunt, don't worry, look outside through the glass."
Mei Qing knew Xi Xinxin was good at fighting. She really didn't expect her to be that good.
Then, someone pulled out a wooden stick from somewhere and started waving it around. No one could get close to it. There were many stones on the ground of the house.
Not only could the men not get close, they were also hit by stones one by one. Taking advantage of their moment of pain, Xi Xinxin did not hesitate to strike their knees with a wooden stick.
Several grown men were forced to kneel on the ground.
“You see, I usually use unreasonable methods too, since you people are unreasonable.”
Xi Xinxin smiled like a demon. She leaped up and went to the car they had driven over. She raised the wooden stick high as if to hit it down.
The leader quickly stopped them: "Grandma, no! We were wrong!"
"Oh? What's wrong with it?"
Seeing a glimmer of hope, the man quickly put on a smiling face: "My mistake was asking for 180,000."
"Anything else?"
The man gritted his teeth: "I shouldn't threaten others."
Xi Xinxin's eyes crinkled into crescent moons as she smiled: "So you know about the threats too? Then what about compensation for this family's emotional distress?"
"Give it to us, we'll give it to you!"
At this moment, Chu Quanyi opened the door and came out.
Just as the man was about to hatch a wicked plan, a wooden stick tapped his leg.
"If you dare to come again, I won't hesitate to break your leg. The medical bills will be more than 180,000 yuan."
The men were terrified and broke out in a cold sweat. If they had known that such people were around, they would never have dared to do this, even if it meant their own deaths. This little girl had completely fooled them.
"How much is the compensation for emotional distress?"
Mei Qing didn't mince words: "Five thousand!"
The man really didn't want to pay; it was a thousand yuan more than the repair cost. As he slowly took out his phone, Xi Xinxin tapped his hand with the wooden stick again.
Startled, he immediately took out his phone and scanned the QR code.
"Take your brothers to see him. A few of them have dislocated joints. If I see them doing this again, they won't be allowed to do it again."
"Yes, yes, get in the car! Let's go!"
Soon only the car's exhaust fumes remained.
Mei Qing's parents stared blankly at her, then turned to Mei Qing and quietly asked, "Is this really your classmate, or a thug you hired?"
Mei Qing chuckled and said, "Dad, Xin Xin just knows a little martial arts."
Mei Qing's father thought to himself, "This is more than just a little bit of knowledge."
But I'm still a little worried: "What if they call the police?"
Xi Xinxin didn't care at all: "Self-defense!"
You dislocated someone's shoulder while acting in self-defense, right? Mr. Mei has already remembered that.
Mei Qing's parents bought a lot of food and insisted that they stay for a meal, and secretly gave both of them red envelopes.
Both of them refused.
Xi Xinxin put the red envelope back into Mei Qing's mother's pocket: "Auntie, please give Mei Qing a little more. We are all Mei Qing's friends, so there's no need to be polite."
Then Xi Xinxin was praised as a good child all night long.
After dinner, Mei Qing and her mother insisted on washing the dishes, while Xi Xinxin went for a walk to digest her food. Chu Quanyi followed her, asking, "Guess what I discovered today?"
"What?"
"I originally wanted to try to delete those people's data directly, but I found that I couldn't. I guess this world is slowly starting to take shape."
Xi Xinxin didn't seem to care much about the next sentence. She was speechless: "You're even more ruthless than me. You just wipe others out, right?"
"I'm not the kind of person who gives others a chance to reform."
Chu Quanyi recounted: "If I had met Xi Dai for the first time, I would have slapped her right then and there."
"And today?" Xi Xinxin asked back.
Chu Quanyi snorted: "At least she's pretty good at games."
They smiled at each other. Even the passage of time couldn't diminish their unspoken understanding.
Xi Xinxin herself doesn't give every opportunity. She will deal with people who can't change or who can't recognize their own problems.
She returned to school just in time for the exam. This time, Xi Xinxin wouldn't bother calculating her score. She'd just do what she could. It was a competition, and showing her true abilities was the best way to show respect to everyone.
The shrill bell rang, and the candidates handed in their papers and left one by one.
After returning to her dorm, Xi Dai teamed up with Chu Quanyi for a game and won perfectly. Xi Dai enjoyed the game so much that she posted it on her WeChat Moments.
Soon, a comment appeared on WeChat Moments, seemingly joking: "If you're so good at this one game, you should post it!"
Xi Xinxin and Xi Dai's friends are mostly mutual friends, so she quickly discovered this comment. The comment came from a girl who was also in their class.
Xi Dai didn't hesitate at all; she deleted the person immediately.
Somehow, the girl noticed and turned to ask Xi Xinxin if she had done something wrong.
Xi Xinxin answered truthfully: "Your emotional intelligence isn't very high."
The girl was taken aback and stopped replying. Instead, Lin Jie came looking for her. She'd added him as a friend during the skateboarding competition and had completely forgotten to delete him.
He immediately questioned her: "Xi Xinxin, I admit you're great at skateboarding, but your sister can't bully people like that. We're classmates, why delete someone like that?"
Xi Xinxin: Sorry, I forgot.
Seeing that Xi Xinxin's attitude was good, Lin Jie assumed she was apologizing to him, so he sent another message: "Then let Xi Dai add her back!"
An exclamation mark appeared immediately after the message was sent.
You are no longer the other person's friend!
Seeing that Xi Dai was still engrossed in playing the game, Xi Xinxin pulled Sha Sha aside, took out her screenshot, and asked, "What's the name of this girl in our class?"
Sasha knew who it was at a glance: "Chen Tongyun, hmm, she has a bit of a 'white lotus' tendency."
Xi Xinxin acknowledged receiving the message and recounted what had just happened on her WeChat Moments. She figured that if Chen Tongyun didn't press the matter, it would be over.
After a while, another text message arrived. It was from Wang Shanni, whom I hadn't seen in a long time.
"Xi Xinxin, thank you so much for what happened before. We haven't seen each other in a long time. My father has fully recovered. Can I treat you and Mei Qing to a meal? I also want to talk to you about some things in person."
Xi Xinxin agreed and called everyone.
Wang Shanni booked a very high-end hotel. Ouyang Zhilu and Zheng Jia were also present.
Wang Shanni's complexion improved considerably. She bowed earnestly to Mei Qing and the others and apologized again.
Mei Qing still didn't give her a friendly look, and Wang Shanni knew she was in the wrong, so she didn't force the issue. Maintaining this ordinary relationship was already a luxury for her.
"You can have whatever you want."
Ouyang Zhilu cheered and immediately chose a large lobster, then said to Zheng Jia, "Wife, peel it for me!"
Zheng Jia dotingly replied, "Okay~"
Xi Xinxin pretended to demand, "Goodbye! I don't want to eat dog food!"
Mei Qing took it seriously and quickly grabbed Xi Xinxin, blushing, "Then, I'll peel it for you."
Wang Shanni: "?"
However, we have important business to attend to today, so Wang Shanni asked, "Is it better if I tell you now or after you've finished eating?"
