The day of the first day of school finally arrived, and everyone was undoubtedly excited when they arrived at school.

But after a few classes, coupled with the sound of cicadas chirping in the trees outside, some students in the class slowly closed their eyelids.

Ji Huaichuan didn't like going to school, but Ji Chaoxi did, because she could earn a lot of money at school.

"boom--"

On the rooftop, the door was slammed shut, and Ji Chaoxi was pinned against the wall.

The girl yelled at her, "Why didn't you let me copy your homework when I texted you? I'm really angry!"

Ji Chaoxi whispered, "I'm afraid you'll scold me if I write it wrong."

The girl got even angrier: "So what if I'm talking to you? I'm talking to you, I'm talking to you!"

"You seem honest and reliable, but you actually love money the most, don't you? Say something!"

Ji Chaoxi lowered her head further and further: "Yes..."

The girl sneered, "You wouldn't even let me copy your homework? You won't take such a good offer? You still have any dignity left?!"

"I told you to stay away from the class monitor, but you're so close to him, do you like him?"

Ji Chaoxi remained silent and lowered her head.

Seeing Ji Chaoxi like this, the girl became happier and happier as she cursed, until her voice became hoarse and she could no longer speak. She could only speak in a hoarse voice.

The girl took a sip of water and tried to speak: "Ji Chaoxi...cough cough..."

Never mind, my voice is really hoarse.

"Did I just curse at you?" the girl asked.

Ji Chaoxi's eyes lit up: "Six lines."

The girl transferred the money to her in a hoarse voice.

Ji Chaoxi realized early on that this girl didn't like her, so she took the initiative to find her and, under the girl's horrified gaze, told her that she could vent her emotions on her, but she would have to pay.

The girl felt that Ji Chaoxi was playing her, but she had indeed disliked Ji Chaoxi for a long time.

So when Ji Chaoxi approached her a second time to ask if she needed to handle the relevant procedures, the girl agreed.

After completing the transaction, the girl realized that Ji Chaoxi was actually very professional. She knew which expressions would make her feel comfortable, and she loved seeing Ji Chaoxi's angry but unable to express it!

So Ji Chaoxi always gave her that look.

Zhou Chiye lay supine in the corner of the rooftop, his arm as a pillow, the wind carrying the girls' curses and low apologies.

The chaotic footsteps gradually faded away, the door slammed shut, and the world fell silent again.

Zhou Chiye dislikes cowardly people, and even more so those who don't know how to fight back.

He just couldn't understand why she had the guts to stage an accident but not to fight back.

Sunlight streamed across the playground, and cicadas chirped incessantly from the camphor trees beside it. A warm breeze carried a sticky, damp air.

Zhou Chiye leaped into the air, his fingertips slamming into the basket with a resounding thud. His teammates rushed over, and he grabbed the ball, bumping shoulders hard with one of them.

He took the ice water, casually unscrewed it, tilted his head back and poured it down. Water droplets slid down his chin and into the collar of his vest, while shouts rang out all around him.

The boy watched this scene in silence: "Why did people tell me not to drink water like this before, saying it looked sloppy?"

The boy holding the basketball looked at him pitifully: "It's a model."

Drinking water in a way that looks good is called having presence; drinking water in a way that doesn't look good is called being sloppy. It's like making a big fuss over drinking water.

Zhou Chiye finished playing basketball and was about to leave when he saw Ji Chaoxi again.

A man and a woman wearing glasses were excitedly saying something to her, and they kept poking her shoulder. Ji Chaoxi just let them poke her, taking a few steps back and then taking a few steps forward to let them poke her less.

Zhou Chiye: ...

He had never seen such a coward in his life.

"Brother Ye, you're leaving already?"

Zhou Chiye responded impatiently.

As he passed Ji Chaoxi, he finally saw her clearly: her head was down, she was clutching the hem of her clothes, and her eyes were red.

Zhou Chiye clicked his tongue and walked right past them, impatiently bumping the bespectacled man's shoulder.

The boys following behind Zhou Chiye didn't understand, but they just kept bumping into him, and everyone who bumped into him even smiled at the bespectacled man.

Ji Chaoxi and the girl with glasses stared at the scene in utter bewilderment.

The boy who was inexplicably bumped into: ?

Why walk between them when there's such a wide road to the side?

Seeing that her guest was angry, Ji Chaoxi quickly comforted him.

"Don't pay attention to them. People who are good at sports tend to be simple-minded."

The boys walking in front heard it clearly.

They wanted to argue, but they didn't really understand why he suddenly bumped into someone. Their eyes were full of curiosity as they looked at Zhou Chiye.

But Zhou Chiye's face looked extremely ugly.

"Hey bro, that girl said you're simple-minded," the boy kindly reminded him.

Zhou Chiye's expression turned even uglier, and the others silently shut their mouths.

Even a wild guy like him would be unhappy if someone called him stupid.

Zhou Chiye couldn't help but sneer inwardly. He had finally managed to do something to help others, and this was the result.

He might as well continue to be inhuman!

As a result, Zhou Chiye saw Ji Chaoxi again at the school swimming pool in the afternoon.

He frowned deeply. Could she have done this on purpose?

First it was staged accidents, then it was at the racetrack, then the playground, and then the swimming pool.

The more Zhou Chiye thought about it, the uglier his face became. He had thought she was after his money, but it turned out she was after him.

The next second...

"Ji Chaoxi, go buy us a bottle of water. This is the errand fee." A girl came out of the swimming pool and stood wearily in front of Ji Chaoxi.

Ji Chaoxi nodded immediately and ran out as fast as she could.

Zhou Chiye watched Ji Chaoxi brush past him: ...

He lowered his head and coughed lightly. Okay, then he must have misunderstood.

Actually, Zhou Chiye didn't misunderstand.

Ji Chaoxi really came for him; her mission was to make money off him until he noticed and became disgusted with her.

But she gets scared every time she sees his dark face, so she can only keep lingering around him.

Zhou Chiye was swimming particularly poorly today. He felt like someone was watching him, and their gaze was burning.

But when he looked around, he saw no one except Ji Chaoxi, who was reading a book obediently.

He frowned as he looked at Ji Chaoxi. "What are you reading at the swimming pool?"

He thought she should exercise more; someone else could poke her with just one finger and make her back away.

Zhou Chiye sneered at the thought of Ji Chaoxi saying that he was simple-minded.

A bookworm with poor athletic ability.

Upon hearing Zhou Chiye's cold laugh, the boy next to him, who was focused on swimming, froze.

He glanced at Zhou Chiye furtively, remained silent for a moment, and then quietly went to swim in another pool.

"Who do you think you are? This swimming pool isn't just for you."

The boy muttered to himself.
