In the first unit test of the class, Liu Feng's score remained stable between the 20th and 30th places, maintaining an above-average level.
It goes unnoticed.
Despite this, the girls in the class would still try to chat him up, but Liu Feng avoided them all. Over time, his classmates jokingly called him "Liu the Fool".
Treat him as if he were invisible.
However.
Almost every night, Wang Juan would invite Liu Feng to dinner, and they would visit all the snack stalls near the school gate.
If I have savings in my pocket, I want to buy everything.
Girls have a natural love for shopping, and every time after dinner, Wang Juan would take Liu Feng to browse various small shops.
Food, drinks, toys, and other necessities.
Wang Juan buys whatever she likes, and she often runs into classmates from both of their classes.
Some people joked, "How did Liu the Fool end up with a rich young woman? He doesn't seem so foolish after all!"
Some people laughed and said, "Our class's little money girl has good taste; she's found a handsome guy."
Liu Feng laughed off these idle gossips, and Wang Juan was also able to face them calmly, which surprised Liu Feng.
After school.
Liu Feng went to Uncle Zhang's place again to take a look at the packaging design of "spicy strips".
After the two finalized the agreement, the spicy strips were officially launched and sold.
Liu Feng brought back a large bag of spicy strips, thinking he would test their "power".
The next day, Liu Feng approached Wang Juan and said mysteriously, "Want to be my friend? I have all kinds of spicy strips."
Wang Juan blushed upon hearing this and scolded, "Liu Feng, what are you talking about being friends with? What spicy strips?"
Liu Feng then took out a bag of spicy strips from his pocket and handed it to Wang Juan, saying, "This is spicy strip, try it!"
Wang Juan took the spicy strip, curiously tore open the packaging, pulled out one, and took a small bite. "So delicious! Where did this spicy strip come from? I've never seen it before?"
She ate with relish as she asked.
In no time, Wang Juan finished the whole bag of spicy strips. She grabbed Liu Feng and said expectantly, "Is there any more? Give me another bag!"
Liu Feng pretended to be deep in thought, "Be my friend and I'll give you another bag."
When Wang Juan saw Liu Feng making demands of her, she smiled and reached directly into Liu Feng's pocket. Liu Feng quickly dodged, and Wang Juan missed.
The two joked and laughed for a while.
Finally, Wang Juan blushed and said shyly, "Can't I be your friend? But you have to give me spicy strips every day from now on!"
Liu Feng smiled and took out two packets of spicy strips, handing them to her. "Okay, here you go. But you have to be more ladylike in the future. Don't chase me around in the middle of the street. My face is burning with embarrassment."
Wang Juan glared at Liu Feng, feigning anger, and said, "You're so annoying!"
And just like that, two bags of spicy strips successfully won over a friend, who turned out to be a girl.
Liu Feng chuckled inwardly; the power of these spicy strips was indeed not to be underestimated.
...
September, Friday afternoon, gloomy and overcast.
School let out early, and the sky was overcast, foreshadowing an impending storm.
Liu Feng first went to the spicy snack workshop, where workers were busy producing spicy snacks. Because the workshop was rushing to meet orders, Liu Changqing would not be going home this week.
So, Liu Feng packed a large bag of spicy strips, intending to take it home and share it with his family.
Not long after I stepped out of the workshop, a light rain suddenly started, adding a touch of coolness to my journey home.
Liu Feng habitually went to the farmers' market first and carefully selected some fresh meat and vegetables.
Just as he sat in the driver's seat, his phone rang urgently. It was his eldest sister, Liu Yue's, anxious voice: "Fourth brother, are you out of school yet? Where are you driving now?"
"Big sister, what's up? I'm on my way," Liu Feng replied.
"It's raining now. I'm waiting for you in front of the arcade at the intersection of Wenshu Road. Come over quickly," Liu Yue said.
"Okay, I'll be there in ten minutes." After hanging up the phone, Liu Feng immediately switched to high-speed mode.
With the keen perception of a spiritual practitioner, he drove with effortless grace, traversing the rain as if the car moved at his will, speeding away.
Meanwhile, in front of the arcade at the intersection of Wenshu Road, Liu Yue, Liu Xiaoling, and Yu Jingya ran with their heads in their hands, seeking shelter from the rain in front of the door.
Liu Yue comforted her, "Wait a moment, my fourth brother will be here to pick us up soon."
Hearing that Liu Feng was coming to pick her up, Yu Jingya felt a surge of joy.
She hadn't seen Liu Feng for several months since the junior high school branch was established. This sunny, handsome, and unique boy had been on her mind all along.
Perhaps because she was lost in thought, Yu Jingya was pushed back by her classmates who came to take shelter from the rain, and accidentally stepped on someone's foot.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to!" Yu Jingya quickly apologized.
"Not on purpose? Look how dirty these white sneakers are. Do you think an apology is enough? I spent more than 60 yuan on these sneakers."
A tall boy with dyed blond hair spoke in a sarcastic tone, accompanied by two other boys who were staring at Yu Jingya.
"Then let me clean it for you." Yu Jingya bent down and wiped the shoe with a tissue, but faint mud marks were still left.
"Is this alright?" Yu Jingya asked cautiously.
"But you still stepped on my foot, what are you going to do about it?" The blond-haired boy's tone became even more unfriendly.
You want to back down, but he takes advantage of your kindness.
Upon seeing this, Liu Yue and Liu Xiaoling immediately stepped forward and pulled Yu Jingya to their sides, saying, "Ignore him!"
"Since you're meddling in other people's business, why don't you come skate with us for a while, and we'll call it even," said Zhao Dong, the blond-haired boy, with ill intent.
Two thugs nearby immediately chimed in, "Yeah, come ice skating with us, haha..."
A boy standing nearby couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up, saying, "Zhao Dong, stop looking for trouble and bullying these three girls. If you hadn't squeezed behind them because they're pretty, they wouldn't have stepped on your foot!"
Zhao Dong's face darkened. "Xu Zhongjun, are you trying to be a hero and save the damsel in distress? Don't think that just because you're a good student, I won't dare to beat you up!"
No one around dared to say much, knowing that Zhao Dong was a notorious troublemaker at school, from a wealthy family, and used to bullying others.
After saying that, Zhao Dong grabbed Yu Jingya's arm and threatened, "Come on, come ice skating with me!"
Seeing this, Liu Yue was furious. She pulled Yu Liangya over and pushed Zhao Dong hard, causing him to fall to the ground.
Immediately, some people around couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.
He laughed, "Haha."
Zhao Dong was pushed down by a girl and heard laughter from the people around him.
He immediately felt humiliated, quickly got up, and slapped Liu Yue across the face.
Liu Yue was surprised and wondered how she had managed to push the blond-haired man to the ground.
It felt like a slap landed hard on his face, and blood immediately started flowing from the corner of his mouth.
"Big sister!" Liu Xiaoling exclaimed, shielding Liu Yue and glaring at Zhao Dong, "How dare you hit my big sister?"
"So what if I hit you?" Zhao Dong replied arrogantly.
Suddenly, a cold voice came from the crowd, "You want to die if you hit my older sister?"
