Reborn and awakened, this time I won't be a love-struck fool.

Hearing Chen Jinghang defend her like this, He Wensi felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey.

She looked up at the boy's handsome profile with a touched expression, "Class monitor..."

Lin Si laughed in anger, "What's it to you? Who do you think you are?"

He completely defied expectations, looking at Chen Jinghang with the same gaze one would give a dead man, his eyes radiating an uncontrollable ferocity.

Chen Jinghang is a model student.

He wasn't particularly handsome, but he was fair-skinned, had a refined appearance, wore glasses, and was slender.

He speaks and acts with great propriety, but deep down he is extremely proud and cannot withstand the slightest setback.

Chen Jinghang felt humiliated when Lin Si spoke to him in this tone.

He clenched his fist and said, "Then what are you?"

As soon as Chen Jinghang said this, the entire room fell silent.

He Wensi was startled.

What's wrong with this bookworm?

Did he have a death wish and went to provoke Lin Si?

Lin Si twitched his lips, his expression unreadable: "What did you say?"

Chen Jinghang thought everyone had quieted down because they were surprised by him.

He pushed up his glasses and continued, "Lin Si, if I remember correctly, you were last in the class and second to last in the grade in the final exam last semester, dragging down the class average. What you should be doing now is reviewing and preparing for the next semester so that you won't drag the class down again, instead of wasting your cheap time showing off your affection."

Not satisfied, he continued, "Besides, your affection is cheap and won't help Sisi at all. Sisi has good grades, a good family background, is beautiful, and is very successful on the internet. She deserves better."

"Class monitor..." He Wensi said, her face full of emotion.

Not only He Wensi, but all the other girls in the class were deeply moved.

Wang Shuyi whispered, "The class monitor really is like a male protagonist in a novel, so cultured."

"Really?"

After hearing this long string of words, Lin Si was not as angry as everyone had imagined.

He squinted. "In what capacity are you speaking to me now? As He Wensi's suitor or...?"

"Sisi and I are innocent." Chen Jinghang's face flushed red. He pushed up his glasses again. "I'm the class monitor, it's my duty to discipline you."

Lin Si let out a cold laugh filled with utter disdain.

He took two steps forward, and under Chen Jinghang's incredulous gaze, grabbed his T-shirt collar, his long, dark eyelashes obscuring the emotions in his eyes. "A lousy class monitor, actually taking himself too seriously."

He Wensi finally realized she was in a panic, "Lin Si, stop making a scene."

"Exactly," Wang Shuyi chimed in. "The squad leader isn't wrong either. You can't just get angry and start a fight. What's the difference between that and being a brute?"

Just as the atmosphere reached a stalemate, the door to the opposite bakery suddenly opened.

Everyone instinctively looked over.

He Wensi called out Hong Mao's name in surprise: "Fang Cong, what are you doing here?"

No wonder she was shocked.

Fang Cong was also in their class. Although he had red hair and hung out with Lin Si all day, he seemed pretty impressive.

Actually, he was an easy target, and a poor student. I heard that his family lived in a residential building that was to be demolished. His father was a worker, and his mother was disabled and bedridden.

Fang Cong was completely out of place in such a high-end restaurant.

"Someone must have invited us to dinner," Fang Cong said, then looked at Lin Si with a tense expression. "Brother Si, what happened?"

Just as Lin Si was about to speak, a slender white wrist climbed onto Fang Cong's shoulder.

Lin Wu said, "Make way."

Fang Cong realized what was happening and quickly stepped aside.

Upon seeing Lin Wu, He Wensi immediately forgot all her doubts.

He Wensi's family background is actually quite ordinary. Her parents run a fruit shop, but it's not doing very well.

The rich young lady persona she's maintaining is partly due to the income she earned from social media this summer.

Most of it was thanks to Lin Si, that sucker.

The haute couture dress He Wensi was wearing was a birthday gift from Lin Si, and even the birthday banquet was paid for by Lin Si.

Few people at No. 1 Middle School knew that Lin Si was a rich second-generation.

Even He Wensi deduced from the gifts Lin Si usually gave her that Lin Si was not short of money.

She simply couldn't have imagined that the Lin family would be a top-tier wealthy family living in the renowned Jiaoyue Bay, wielding considerable influence within Beijing's high society.

That kind of circle is too far removed from her.

In addition, Lin Si is not particular about things.

They sell clothes from street vendors and food from roadside stalls; they're down-to-earth.

But Linwu is different.

She was born a pampered young lady, and she was particular about everything she did, from food and clothing to housing and transportation.

Even when her long, black hair was casually draped over her shoulders, its smoothness and color made it look better than others.

With excellent physical features and bone structure, she wore light makeup and looked at people with a nonchalant air, exuding a particularly obvious arrogance.

He Wensi's smile vanished instantly, and alarm bells went off in her mind.

Who is this girl? Could she be one of Lin Si's suitors?

No, that can't be.

She clenched her fingers.

"Lin Si".

Lin Wu stepped forward, grabbed Lin Si's arm, and forced him to loosen Chen Jinghang's collar.

Lin Si's fingers trembled twice, then he quickly let go. He lowered his eyelashes with a self-deprecating smile, a shadow of gloom settling over his eyelids.

He was used to it; he was used to Lin Wu always being on the side of outsiders.

In his first year of junior high, he and Xie Yanhuai got into a fight.

When Lin Wu arrived, without asking why, she berated him mercilessly and ignored him for a week.

His younger brother is not important at all.

Lin Si thought this time was no different from before.

But then Lin Wu spoke up, "What happened?"

Lin Si was taken aback.

He stared at Lin Wu in astonishment.

At first, I thought I had misheard.

Lin Wu frowned and asked, "Why aren't you saying anything?"

Lin Si licked his thin lips, then licked his sharp canine tooth.

He had many things on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn't say a word.

People who are used to being alone find it hard to express weakness or grievances.

Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a while, Lin Wu gave up hope.

She looked at Chen Jinghang, her gaze sweeping over him. As a blush crept across his face, she spoke, "Could you tell me what happened?"

Chen Jinghang was very nervous and subconsciously pushed up his glasses.

He met Lin Wu's dark, grape-like eyes for a second. Behind the thick glasses, those eyes seemed to drift. "Lin Si has a crush on He Wensi, a classmate in our class. Today is He Wensi's birthday. Lin Si first showed up uninvited, and after being kicked out, he waited in the corridor until the end."

"I think this is an immoral form of coercion that will put psychological pressure on the girl. He would be better off using this time to study, since he is at the bottom of the class and keeps dragging down the class average."

"I gave him some advice, but Lin Si got angry and embarrassed."
