Ming Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief and was no longer so nervous.
She couldn't explain why she was so wary of Xie Li; perhaps it was because of the deep impression she had of him from her childhood?
Moreover, she had a secret that no one knew, which made her always wary of Xie Li.
She was a little confused. Wasn't she in a book called "She's the School Bully's Little Fairy"?
When Xie Li was a child, she came to Shenjia Village and was so shocked that she fell ill. After she recovered, a book suddenly appeared in her mind.
In the book, she is the destined heroine of a book called "She is the School Bully's Little Fairy". Independent, strong and brave, she enters Linjiang No.1 Middle School as a poor aid student and begins the story of being pampered by the school bully.
Xie Li is merely a supporting female character in the book, a tool to highlight her.
She didn't understand why the plot kept getting out of control when it came to Xie Li, forcing her to personally intervene and push the plot forward, but even that didn't go very smoothly.
Although the general direction has not deviated so far, the male lead Pei Si has also developed obvious feelings for her.
But she always felt powerless.
Ming Xiaoxiao clenched her fists, trying to relax a little.
Beside him, Pei Si frowned and asked fiercely, "What's wrong with you now?" His words were harsh, but his tone was concerned.
"Ah, it's nothing. I'm probably just a little tired from studying lately." Ming Xiaoxiao's eyes flickered, and she caught a glimpse of Qu Wenbin's equally concerned gaze out of the corner of her eye.
She looked up and smiled generously at Qu Wenbin, as if she didn't know what he was thinking.
Qu Wenbin smiled and said, "Xiaoxiao must be busy with the Encyclopedia King challenge and exams, right? I heard you've also been working part-time lately, it must be quite tiring."
Pei Si was clearly both distressed and dissatisfied with Ming Xiaoxiao's part-time job.
The woman under Pei Shao's protection doesn't need to work?
"You should quit that job at that teahouse."
Their relationship took a significant leap after Ming Xiaoxiao gave them the jade pendant, and they began to contact each other more frequently afterward.
Pei Si ran into Ming Xiaoxiao, who was working on the bar street, and was being harassed. By chance, Pei Si took her back to his small apartment in the city center.
The two were thus forced to live together.
Considering the potential repercussions, the two of them kept the matter a secret.
After a series of farcical events, such as Pei Si accidentally bumping into Ming Xiaoxiao taking a shower when he got home and Ming Xiaoxiao mistakenly entering the wrong room while half asleep, the ambiguous atmosphere between the two became increasingly intense.
They're just one step away from breaking through that final barrier.
Pei Si took it for granted, but Ming Xiaoxiao dared not break her persona. "No, I still need to work to earn money to buy medicine for my grandma."
"A-Si, you don't need to worry about my affairs. I can handle it." Ming Xiaoxiao gently bit her lower lip, her eyes filled with stubbornness.

Xie Li sat by the grove of trees, holding his books, waiting for someone.
As the date for the challenge drew closer, Chen Lian's anxiety worsened.
These past two days, she's been forcing Xie Li to accompany her to the small garden next to the grove to recite her lessons, ostensibly as a division of labor, with Xie Li focusing on literature and history while she takes charge of science.
The other party's reasoning was particularly compelling: Xie Li dared to stand up to Wen Ling so defiantly because Xie Li was a complete science idiot!
They're skipping physics class altogether! It's like they've completely given up on physics and are planning to go down the humanities route!
Chen Lian also comforted Xie Li: "I heard you got a perfect score in some poetry challenge at Wushan Square last time? Not bad, keep it up."
