Lin Miaomiao's tone was full of insecurity when she said this, which was completely different from her usual confident and outgoing self.

"What do you think?"

"I think…"

"You think that because your grades are so bad and ours are so good, we shouldn't be in the same circle, right?"

Xia Ze's tone was somewhat reproachful when he said this. Lin Miaomiao, whom he liked, had a cheerful and carefree personality. Although she was a little silly, she was very cute.

So he was blaming Lin Miaomiao for her lack of confidence, and he was also blaming himself for not protecting her properly.

"I…"

Lin Miaomiao didn't know what to say.

Because she felt that what Wang Shengnan and Liang Yunshu said made sense: how could people at the foot of the mountain get along with people at the top of the mountain?

"look at me!"

Xia Ze turned around and sat on the ground with Lin Miaomiao, cross-legged and facing each other. Although Lin Miaomiao wanted to hide, she obediently listened to him.

"I, Xia Ze, swear to God that I will never leave you. Our friendship cannot be affected by grades."

The bright moon hung high in the sky, the stars filled the heavens, and a gentle breeze blew by, causing Lin Miaomiao's heart to flutter.

She stared into Xia Ze's determined eyes.

She knew he wasn't joking. Was this a confession?

Xia Ze gently placed his hand on Lin Miaomiao's face and delicately wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Friendship is never based on grades. Friendship based on grades is hypocritical. Look at Yingzi and Fang Yifan, their grades are worlds apart, but they have been good friends since childhood."

"Look at me and Fang Yifan and Dog Brother. At first, I also hid my grades and befriended them, but later it turned out I was wrong."

"They befriended me not because of my grades, but simply because they wanted to be friends with me. And you and me, 503, do you think I befriended you just to stand out?"

After listening to Xia Ze's words, Lin Meimei thought about them carefully.

When she became friends with Xia Ze, she didn't consider his grades at all.

She could also sense that Xia Ze genuinely wanted to be her friend.

"Okay, don't think about it too much. I'll tutor you every day from now on, and one day your grades will catch up with ours."

Xia Ze looked at Lin Miaomiao, whose eyes were red and who looked pitiful, and couldn't help but touch her face.

The two looked at each other under the moonlight.

The air seemed to be filled with an ambiguous atmosphere.

Xia Ze couldn't help but recall scenes from TV dramas. Should he kiss her now?

Not only him, but Lin Miaomiao also had the same idea.

Is he going to kiss me?

Should I hide?

In the end, Xia Ze lost his composure and slowly brought his lips close to Lin Miaomiao's lips, his heart pounding wildly.

As Lin Miaomiao saw Xia Ze getting closer and closer, her heart also raced and her face grew increasingly red.

But just at this moment, something unexpected always seems to disrupt the atmosphere.

"Damn it! That darn school bell!" Xia Ze mentally gave the loudspeaker in the school building the middle finger as he watched Lin Miaomiao run away like a frightened rabbit.

Chapter 82: Qiao Yingzi: My First Time Coming Home Late! [Please Subscribe]

The last evening self-study session has ended.

Because of what just happened, Lin Miaomiao's close classmates all stayed behind.

Even Qiao Yingzi borrowed Xia Ze's phone to call Song Qian and say she would be back later.

After hearing the reason, Song Qian on the other end of the phone agreed.

"Miaomiao, I think you went too far this time. Do you think the three of us are only best friends with you because of your grades?"

Qiao Yingzi, Shi Miao, and Xiao Xue were also very angry after hearing Lin Miaomiao's explanation.

"No... I just feel..." Lin Miaomiao was so anxious when she saw her best friends were angry that she didn't know how to explain.

She wasn't doubting them, but simply doubting herself, feeling that her grades made her unworthy to be friends with them.

Xia Xue sighed and walked to Lin Miaomiao's side to comfort her, "Miaomiao, you'll always be our best friend!"

"Yes, who says you have no strengths? Your optimism, cheerfulness, and positive attitude are all strengths. Sometimes I really wish I had your personality."

To be honest, Qiao Yingzi sometimes really wished she had Lin Miaomiao's mindset.

You don't need to think too much about what you do, and you won't feel depressed because of a few words.

Hearing her best friends' comforting words, Lin Miaomiao felt much better.

"Good news! Great news!" Just then, Fang Yifan and Jiang Tianhao ran to the group, shouting good news like newspaper vendors used to.

Xia Ze and the others all looked at the two of them.

Fang Yifan and Jiang Tianhao sat back down on their stools, panting, and asked them with delighted expressions, "Guess how Xie Jiang and Liang Yunshu are doing?"

"How is it going?" Everyone looked at Fang Yifan with great curiosity.

"Xie Jiang was taken away by the police after school, and Liang Yunshu was also taken to the police station by her parents." Jiang Tianhao blurted out before Fang Yifan could speak.

Why did you steal my lines?

"You're speaking so slowly, don't you see everyone's getting impatient?" Jiang Tianhao and Fang Yifan started arguing.

Hearing their words, the group wasn't particularly shocked.

After all, this matter is essentially illegal, and Xie Jiang will definitely be taken away.

"Do you think Xie Jiang will be sentenced?" Shi Miao asked curiously.

"No, but if Liang Yunshu insists that she was forced, then she will definitely be sentenced." Xia Ze knows a bit about the law; as long as someone is over fourteen and acts voluntarily, they won't be sentenced.

He estimated that Xie Jiang would be sentenced this time because Liang Yunshu's personality was not firm enough, and she would definitely obey if her parents spoke firmly to her.

As for whether Xie Jiang's family would bribe Liang Yunshu's parents, Xia Ze had no idea.

However, it's estimated that even if Xie Jiang's family were willing to pay, Liang Yunshu's parents wouldn't be, since Lin Miaomiao said her family was quite wealthy.

"What about the others?" Xia Ze was quite curious about how the school dealt with the others involved in this matter.

If Pan Yuansheng doesn't provide a perfect solution, he wouldn't mind going to Pan Yuansheng for a proper talk.

"Xie Jiang and Liang Yunshu have both been expelled. As for the others, it seems there's no result yet, but they've also been suspended from classes for a week," Fang Yifan said first this time.

Xia Ze frowned upon hearing this result.

In fact, he thought that all of these people should be expelled, since the elite high school was preparing to become the top high school in Kyoto.

Such black sheep will definitely damage the school's reputation, and the school cannot afford not to expel them.

"What about my roommates?" Lin Miaomiao only has three roommates: Liang Yunshu and Liang Yunshu's follower.

Another one is Deng Xiaoqi in the class. I don't know why, but Deng Xiaoqi doesn't seem to like playing with her.

"She was probably suspended from school for a week and has probably been taken home by now."

"Huh? Then there will only be two people in my dorm room." Lin Miaomiao said with some surprise.

"What, you still can't bear to part with them?"

"Of course not, I just feel a little unaccustomed to having two fewer people in the dorm."

Liang Yunshu and her entourage left, and Lin Miaomiao must be happy. She just doesn't know if other new people will join the dormitory.

I hope that even if new students come, they won't be like Liang Yunshu. Ideally, they'd like to have two roommates similar to Yingzi and Xiaoxue.

(Sigh, if only Xiaoxue and Yingzi could be in the same dorm as me.) Lin Miaomiao's inner thoughts.

"It's getting late, let's talk about it tomorrow." Xia Ze noticed that the clock on the wall had already pointed to ten o'clock.

All the other students in the class except for them have left. Now even the senior students are about to finish their evening self-study. If they don't go home soon, their parents will start to worry.

The others glanced at the clock and said it was time to go.

After exchanging greetings, they left the school separately, while Lin Miaomiao was escorted back to her dormitory by Xiaoxue and Shimiao.

Xia Zeqiao and Yingzi left the school because it was already past ten o'clock and there was only one last bus left.

But waiting for the last train would mean waiting on the platform for more than ten minutes, so they decided to walk home.

Fortunately, Kyoto is bustling enough, and there are streetlights on their school and the way home, and there are a lot of people passing by.

So you don't have to worry about encountering bad people late at night.

"This must be the latest I've ever come home," Qiao Yingzi said, looking up at the starry sky with a somewhat cheerful mood.

So this is what it feels like not having to think about what time I'll get home. I really hope I can have this more often in the future.

It has to be said that living is really quite tiring for Qiao Yingzi.

Every day I'm forced to eat food I don't like, and I'm forced to do a lot of practice tests, while I'm not allowed to use my phone or computer.
