"Although you have excellent grades, if you used the time you saved from working to study, wouldn't your grades improve even further?"
"Also, you see my grades are just average, how about this, you tutor me, and I'll pay you for the tutoring. That way, I can improve my grades, and you can make money. It's a win-win situation."
...
After Shi Qian and Meng Qing stayed together for a while and he didn't feel threatened, he gradually lowered his guard and started to revert to his true nature.
Shi Qian was not a cold person to begin with, and it was difficult for him to see those around him going astray without reminding them.
Meng Qing looked up and met Shi Qian's gaze, smiled, nodded, and replied, "Okay."
Shi Qian was surprised that Meng Qing agreed so quickly. Holding the meal card, she stood there stunned in her chair. Meng Qing leaned over and snatched the meal card from Shi Qian's hand.
“I took your meal card. That’s fine, I’ll eat with you from now on, so everyone can use it.”
Meng Qing didn't tell Shi Qian that Shi Jingguo had already topped up his meal card when they started school, so even if he didn't have a part-time job, he wouldn't go hungry.
However, Shi Qian always left him to eat alone before, so this was a good opportunity for him to get closer to Shi Qian and then eat together together in the future.
Meng Qing could actually sense the change in Shi Qian's attitude, from initial wariness to later indifference and now to casualness. He knew that Shi Qian was a soft-hearted person.
Shi Qian didn't know how things had turned into Meng Qing having to eat all three meals with him. It wasn't until Meng Qing carried the assembled computer to his room that he realized he could have just topped up Meng Qing's meal card. Why did he have to give him his own meal card?
Besides, how could Meng Qing have actually taken it?
Shi Qian couldn't quite understand his own behavior today. It must be that old man who was trying to scam him that made him lose his mind!
Why is he worried about Meng Qing? Even without him, Shi Yan wouldn't just watch Meng Qing starve to death, not to mention that No. 1 Middle School would always provide subsidies for a good student like Meng Qing who excels in both character and academics.
You have a foul mouth! You just love to meddle in other people's business!
The next morning, as soon as Shi Qian stepped out of his room, he saw Meng Qing sitting on the living room sofa looking at him expectantly. She said that they had agreed to have dinner together starting today.
Shi Qian really wanted to say that no one had made plans with him, and that he could eat wherever and whenever he wanted with his meal card, but Meng Qing's gaze was like that of a loyal puppy. In the end, Shi Qian didn't say anything and went to wash up with a cold face.
As she was leaving the dormitory, she ran into Fu Xiuhan. Surprisingly, he hadn't asked for leave. Fu Xiuhan put his arm around Shi Qian's shoulder and said, "Come on, let's have breakfast together!"
Meng Qing walked up behind Shi Qian and reminded him, "Your backpack zipper is down."
"Really?" Shi Qian shook off Fu Xiuhan's hand and turned her schoolbag around. "No, it's all tucked in properly."
"I misread it, let's go."
Meng Qing subtly squeezed between Fu Xiuhan and Shi Qian, and together with Song Qi, who had just left the dormitory, the four of them headed towards the canteen.
Shi Yan was not at school, and his days were peaceful. Shi Qian went back to his rented room on the weekend and found that the old man was long gone. There was a note on the dining table saying that his family had come to pick him up and he had gone home first. He hadn't taken the money that was left for him.
Shi Qian asked around all the places in the neighborhood that could take in people this week, but they all refused after hearing that the elderly person had family. They all said that the usual way to deal with this kind of situation is to persuade them to go home if possible, so as to reduce social pressure.
Shi Qian had no choice but to go back to the old man's house on the weekend to discuss whether he should find a job with room and board provided. Unexpectedly, the old man was picked up by his family first.
But that's good, it saves him from worrying unnecessarily.
The arts festival proceeded as scheduled, but the only difference was that Shi Yan did not perform this year, which was a great pity. Some so-called insiders revealed that Shi Qian injured Shi Yan out of jealousy, which prevented Shi Yan from participating. The news spread like wildfire, and people's impression of Shi Qian worsened.
After the arts festival ended, Shi Qian returned to school and found that Shi Yan had also returned.
Well, the peaceful days are over.
As always, Shi Yan was surrounded by a group of people, all concerned about his health.
Shi Yan lowered his head slightly and said that he was fine now. He had just stayed in the hospital for a while. The doctor said that he had some psychological trauma because of his hand injury, but he was much better now.
Shi Qian rolled his eyes inwardly, but he actually did just that.
Damn it, I hate pretentious people the most.
As soon as Shi Qian put down his schoolbag, someone rushed over and started attacking him.
"Was it you who caused Shi Yan to miss the arts festival! Don't you know how important this year's arts festival is?"
Li Chuan took leave a while ago, and his family specially arranged for him to take classes with members of the Yancheng Music Association, all in preparation for the association's selection at the end of the month.
Therefore, Li Chuan missed the incident between Shi Qian and Shi Yan in the music room. When he returned, he heard everyone saying that Shi Yan did not perform this year. He was a little confused and asked around the band members. Everyone was vague and evasive, only saying that Shi Yan was injured and could not participate.
Li Chuan, of course, didn't believe it. He knew Shi Yan well; he always treasured his hands, so how could he suddenly get injured, especially at such a critical moment?
Li Chuan also received news that the president of the Beijing Music Association would be coming. He originally wanted to rush back, but later heard that the president had something to do and would not be attending, so he did not return to school.
At such a critical moment, Shi Yan would never allow himself to get hurt; it must be Shi Qian who did something to him!
Unable to get any information from the band members, Li Chuan went to Chen Qian to ask about what happened that day. Chen Qian glanced at Li Chuan and simply told him to mind his own business, without saying anything more.
After leaving the office, Li Chuan felt that there was something seriously wrong. Otherwise, why would the band members and teachers all look at him as if they wanted him to stop asking questions?
Li Chuan went to find Shi Yan again, but Shi Yan just kept wiping away tears, saying that he didn't have the luck, that he had no one to blame for his injured hand, that the posts on the forum were not true, that everyone was just spreading rumors, and that it had absolutely nothing to do with Shi Qian.
How could it not be related to Shi Qian? Following Shi Yan's words, Li Chuan went to the forum to read the posts, flipping through several hundred pages, and roughly figured out what happened back then.
This is outrageous! Shi Qian has gone too far! He burned Shi Yan's hand before, and the teacher didn't pursue the matter. Now he's broken Shi Yan's hand, and everyone is still covering for him!
So what if he's sick? It's not like he's going to die tomorrow. Why are we being so lenient with him?
Li Chuan wasn't going to tolerate Shi Qian. He remembered the aggrieved look on Shi Yan's face when he confided in him, and he felt a surge of anger. Seeing the eye roll Shi Qian gave Shi Yan as he passed by earlier only fueled his rage.
I must get justice for Shi Yan! The school won't give it to him! The teachers won't give it to him! The Shi family won't give it to him! Then he will give it to him!
"How can you be so shameless?"
