After Xie Siyan left, Shen Muqing sat not far from Lin Xi. When Yi Ci also left, Shen Muqing quickly walked up to him.
"Qiqi!"
"Qingqing, you eat in this cafeteria too?"
Shen Muqing squinted at her, "Qiqi, don't tell me you and Yi Ci are having an affair?"
"Qingqing, what nonsense are you talking about? I have nothing to do with him."
Lin Xi's face flushed slightly. Although she said it was okay, her expression was quite strange. She looked like a young girl in the throes of first love.
"Really? You're not lying to me?"
"real."
Shen Muqing carefully observed her every expression, and after realizing she was telling the truth, he sighed softly.
"Qiqi, you know that this is the most important time in our lives right now. We can't fall in love too early. You can't make a mistake."
"And let me tell you, most men are very good at pretending. Don't be fooled by Yi Ci's handsome looks; he might be a womanizer in private."
Shen Muqing became more and more excited as he spoke, his eyebrows dancing with enthusiasm.
"Don't be fooled by his appearance; you don't know him at all..."
"Qingqing, stop talking."
Lin Xi interrupted her, her expression somewhat indescribable.
"Qiqi, you're actually siding with him! I'm so heartbroken. Oh, my fragile little heart is about to break."
Shen Muqing had an exaggeratedly hurt expression on his face.
"I didn't, I just..." Lin Xi winked at her, her eyes almost twitching.
"Qiqi, what's wrong with your eyes? Did you get dust in them? Let me blow them out for you." Shen Muqing took a few steps forward, wanting to check her eyes, her complaints about Yi Ci continuing unabated.
"Anyway, Qiqi, you can't let him fool you. He doesn't look like a good person at all. What if..."
"What if what?"
"What if he deceives you about your feelings? It's not worth it, ahh~~~ Actually, I think Yi Ci is a pretty good person. Qiqi, I was just talking nonsense just now, don't take it seriously."
Shen Muqing felt like she was having a run of bad luck lately, wondering how she could talk badly about someone behind their back and still have the person in question overhear her.
It turns out that you shouldn't speak ill of others in public, because walls have ears.
"Yi, what a coincidence! Are you also eating in the cafeteria?" Shen Muqing turned around, her smile more like a grimace, and greeted him.
Yi Ci's already fierce expression became even more ferocious as he spoke through gritted teeth, "Chen, I never thought I was this kind of person in your heart."
He smiled slightly and handed the bottled water in his hand to Lin Xi.
"Haha, in my heart, Yi is the most handsome and charming person in our school, without a doubt. I was possessed by a ghost just now, and I said all the things I didn't mean."
Shen Muqing gave Lin Xi a pleading look, "Help me! Help me!"
"Really? That's my honor, Shen. I didn't expect you to think so highly of me."
"No, no."
Shen Muqing hid behind Lin Xi, damn it, why didn't anyone remind her?
"Qingqing didn't mean it, Yi, don't take it to heart."
"It wasn't intentional on my part." I did it on purpose.
Yi Ci gave Shen Muqing a deep look, "I'm leaving now."
"Thank you, Yi Ci." Lin Xi thanked him again solemnly. If it weren't for him last time, she might not have been able to make it in time for her mother's surgery.
"No need to thank me. After all, I'm a very pretentious person. Maybe I have ulterior motives? Don't you think so, Shen?"
"Why do you talk about yourself like that? You are a very good person. Don't belittle yourself."
Shen Muqing forced herself to continue, forcing a smile, looking utterly miserable.
Before leaving, Yi Ci glanced in a certain direction and met a jealous and aggressive gaze from the corner. Interesting.
"Qiqi, you scared me to death! Why didn't you tell me Yi Ci was behind me?"
Are you sure I didn't tell you?
Lin Xi looked at her with a puzzled expression, tilting her head.
"Okay, I guess I was just too stupid."
"It's alright, let's go back."
"good."
After this incident, Shen Muqing dared not speak ill of others easily, and always suspiciously observed her surroundings before saying anything bad.
The day before the sports meet, the class monitor took the list of confirmed students and went to each of them to ask them to prepare to win glory for the class.
"Lin Xi, are you ready to run the 3,000 meters tomorrow?"
The class monitor stood in front of Lin Xi's desk with a pen and a form in hand.
"? Squad leader, I didn't sign up for the 3000-meter race."
Lin Xi frowned; she clearly remembered saying she wouldn't participate in the sports meet.
"But your name is on the list. Oh, and there's another person. Only you and Shen Muqing from the class are participating in the women's 3,000-meter race."
The class monitor adjusted his glasses and traced lines on the chart with his pen to make sure he wasn't mistaken before speaking.
"I'm just here to make the announcement. I don't know the specifics either. Su Xueshan is in charge of the registration forms."
"I understand, class monitor."
Upon hearing Su Xueshan's name, Lin Xi knew it was intentional, and she didn't know why they were so hostile towards her.
Over there, Shen Muqing shouted, "Class monitor, are you kidding me? How could I possibly sign up for the 3,000-meter race? You must have misread it."
Three thousand meters? Shen Muqing would have a hard time even with eight hundred meters, let alone three thousand meters. She wouldn't put herself through that.
"The list is correct, it is your name."
Who was in charge of registering for this sports meet?
"Su Xueshan".
"Okay." Shen Muqing suppressed her excitement. Su Xueshan, right? She's offended her again. She let them off the hook last time, but don't blame her this time. She's not a stable boy, here to tend horses.
Shen Muqing went to the principal's office during the long break between classes. Uncle Chen said that if she encountered any difficulties, she could just go to the principal.
"Knock knock knock".
"Please come in."
Shen Muqing pushed open the door and entered, only to see a middle-aged man with a square face staring at a computer screen.
Upon seeing that it was Shen Muqing, the principal immediately stood up. "Student Shen, is there anything I can help you with?"
Shen is the school's biggest tycoon; you can't afford to offend anyone, since the newly built library and dormitory buildings were all funded by her family, costing hundreds of millions.
"Something's happened, something very serious, Principal, are you going to take care of it?"
"Of course we'll take care of it. Is Shen having trouble adjusting to school? If there's anything the school needs to improve, just let us know."
The principal led Shen Muqing to sit on the sofa and then made her some tea.
"Isn't the principal going to hold a sports meet soon? I have a new suggestion." Shen Muqing's cunning eyes darted around, clearly indicating that he wasn't up to anything good.
"Chen, you go ahead."
