By the time the girl realized what was happening, the whole bucket of water was still there, rippling and reflecting her stiff smile.
Xie Li kindly handed the bucket of water back to the other person untouched, saying earnestly, "Oh, it's okay, I know you did it on purpose."
The girl's hand trembled, and she lost her grip, causing the bucket to fall with a thud.
This time, she wasn't as lucky as Xie Li; her shoes, legs, and skirt were covered in mud from the dirty water.
Xie Li stood a few meters away, his pants and shoes spotless.
"Ah!!!" The girl froze for a few seconds, then suddenly broke down and screamed.
At this moment, the girl who had just dropped the rag upstairs also came down, looking at Xie Li with a stern face. She was no longer the cute girl from before, but a cool woman with a strong aura.
"Xie Li." She called out Xie Li's name, her eyes filled with hostility. "What did you do to Chen Lian?"
"I'm just returning her bucket to her," Xie Li said. "Or rather, what are you planning to do to me?"
Xie Li could easily see that these people were targeting him.
She was quite calm, just a little annoyed by these little tricks.
"You two can just talk things out directly. There's no need for this. You won't gain anything anyway, so why bother?" she suggested sincerely.
The other person was taken aback, not expecting her to be so direct.
"We just can't stand you getting into No. 1 High School by cheating! I'm warning you, don't be so arrogant. If you know what's good for you, get out of No. 1 High School on your own..."
"Are you trying to force me to drop out of school?" Xie Li grasped the key point. She originally thought that minor matters could be discussed properly, but it was absolutely unacceptable for her to be unable to continue her studies.
"I did not cheat, and I will not drop out of school." There is absolutely no room for negotiation on this point.
The baby-faced girl scoffed, making no attempt to hide her malice: "Then your troubles will only be endless."
"Who is Wang Xiangxiang to you?" Xie Li suddenly asked.
The baby-faced girl paused, then frowned: "Who are you talking about?"
Xie Li nodded. Did she not recognize him? She thought for a moment, then asked, "Who ordered you to do this?"
The other person kept their mouth shut and didn't answer, clearly too lazy to pay attention to her.
Xie Li: "No matter who it is, I think we should be more decisive. After all, I don't think you have that much time to waste with me. Why not just settle this once and for all?"
"Meet me in the alley behind the school tomorrow after school." After thinking for a moment, Xie Li added, "Is that okay?"
"Don't agree to her!" Shen Lian finally snapped out of her daze, glared fiercely at Xie Li, and turned to the baby-faced man, saying, "She's very close to Su Ying, maybe she's going to get reinforcements."
It was only then that Xie Li truly understood Su Ying's cool and collected identity.
As expected, others were quite wary of him.
"This has nothing to do with Su Ying, I won't involve her." There's no need for it.
Chen Lian scoffed dismissively, "Who knows if you're just paying lip service? Can you guarantee that?"
Although the request was somewhat absurd, it wasn't impossible. "Okay, I promise."
The group made a promise, and then they parted ways.
Ming Xiaoxiao bit her lip as she walked out of the stairwell, a struggle flashing across her face.
She hesitated for a moment, then turned to Jiang Yifan and asked, "Who were those two girls? Will Xie Li get hurt?"
Linjiang No.1 Middle School has a variety of club activities, which Ming Xiaoxiao found very interesting. After school, she followed Jiang Yifan to the club office building to take a look, and unexpectedly encountered this scene.
Ming Xiaoxiao, being straightforward, was about to rush forward without thinking, but was stopped by Jiang Yifan.
There was a reason why Jiang Yifan stopped Ming Xiaoxiao.
