School officially started, and Di Xiu attended classes as usual, living the life of an ordinary student.
With his knowledge, he could have easily gone back to study on his own, but he felt somewhat lost in front of Mr. and Mrs. Cheng, so he stayed at the school.
He currently lives in a dormitory and usually only goes home on Saturdays when he has time off.
Cheng's parents had given up the house they rented near the school, and they had also leased out their farmland to focus on running their small shop. They weren't very busy on weekdays, and they would often bring him some snacks and fruits, leaving them with the dormitory supervisor so he could pick them up after evening self-study.
Like Cheng Shuo, he wasn't particularly interested in snacks and couldn't eat too many, so he shared them with his roommates.
In short, his life was uneventful. In contrast, Li Chen was a restless person to begin with, and under the influence of the system, his life was even more chaotic every day. Ying Jiaojiao also made constant moves.
On the second day of school, Ying Jiaojiao came to school covered in bruises.
She has composed herself and stopped making a scene to avoid being beaten again or being sent to the hospital as a mental patient.
— Rong Xi mostly used passive-aggressive tactics on her. She usually didn't cause trouble at school, so this was the first time she had been hit.
She arrived at the classroom late, and Li Chen even later. When 001, who was also in the classroom, noticed the dark light that flashed in her eyes when the latter appeared, it seemed like liking, but also like scheming and resentment.
The key to love at first sight is the "first sight." It only elevates the initial attraction to near-love level, after which it gradually declines. Generally, the person who falls in love at first sight needs to take action to stabilize the attraction. Obviously, this step is not taken.
Ying Jiaojiao's attention was drawn away by the system again at this time, so it's normal for her favorability to drop sharply now, but she's still at the level of being attracted to it.
The key point is that after experiencing an even more intense attraction, she completely shifted her attention away from "Cheng Shuo".
As for scheming and resentment...
The night before, in her panic, she set herself a goal, which was also a way to comfort herself: I must make Li Chen fall in love with me, so that Ba Ba will definitely see me and come back to my side.
The reasons are quite valid. Since BaBa has such a high opinion of Li Chen and has given him such generous rewards, if she were to bind herself to someone else again, that person would definitely try to get close to and win over Li Chen, thus allowing BaBa to see her next to him. If that person is even more powerful, BaBa would definitely choose again and return to her side.
It's truly hard to tell whether she's trying to win over Li Chen or the system.
She ordered many books online overnight, such as "36 Ways to Flirt with a Man" and "Win Over Your Crush in Three Sentences".
After Li Chen sat down, he noticed that she was staring at him. His tone was extremely nasty: "Ugly freak, I told you, if you look at me again, I'll gouge your eyes out."
Ying Jiaojiao's heart skipped a beat; her sixth sense told her that he really dared to do such a thing.
She silently encouraged herself, put on a bright smile, and said, "Li Chen, you haven't introduced yourself yet. My name is..."
Li Chen was extremely unhappy about being bound to the rogue system, and the mood didn't improve even after a whole night. His tone was extremely rude: "I don't care what you're called, just leave me alone."
Ying Jiaojiao seems to have chosen a strong, sunny personality. 001 saw her enduring the pain last night, practicing her smile and lines in front of the mirror for a long time.
She insisted on finishing her prepared lines: "My name is Ying Jiaojiao. You just transferred here. If you have any questions or anything you're not familiar with, feel free to ask me."
Li Chen's upbringing allowed him to easily discern others' insincerity. Sensing the scheming in her eyes, he became even more annoyed with her. He kicked her desk and shouted angrily, "Didn't you hear me tell you to shut up?"
All the students were reading aloud in the morning when they were startled by the commotion and all looked over.
The Chinese teacher already knew from the homeroom teacher that another elderly man had joined the class. She hadn't intended to do anything about it, but now she had no choice but to.
"If you want to argue, go outside and argue."
001 slowly posted a task: Apologize to the Chinese teacher, with a time limit of one minute.
Li Chen quickly glanced at everyone in the classroom, took a deep breath, and suddenly stood up, overturning his chair in the process. He then left through the back door and strode towards the playground, where he began to run.
Early in the morning, there was no one on the playground. He looked around and was about to go into the small door next to the stands when he suddenly felt an electric shock-like pain all over his body.
He staggered, grabbed the wall for support, and fell behind the door.
"You want me to apologize? No way."
001 remained silent, thinking that his constant lack of cooperation was detrimental to their later plans and made him seem like the main villain.
After the electric shock, Li Chen revealed a ruthless smile.
001 used the male god system's baritone voice to create an unfathomable tone: "Host, you have successfully aroused my interest."
Li Chen's smile froze instantly.
He heard shouts outside, calling his name. He recognized the voice as that of his ugly classmate.
Her voice was very distinctive, easily conjuring up the image of a sweet, beautiful, and innocent young girl, which made Li Chen, who was slightly attracted to voices, quite smitten. However, when he thought of the owner of the voice, he immediately felt indifferent, even disgusted.
"Li Chen, where are you?"
As if guided by fate, Ying Jiaojiao saw a glimpse of Li Chen's shoe tip peeking out. She quickly walked over and, seeing him covered in sweat, exclaimed in surprise, "What's wrong? Why do you look so pale? Is it...?"
