âMonitor, I didnât sign up.â
Li Meng went straight to the monitor when she saw the list published for the sports meet.
It ought to be Jian Xi, why did it become her name?
Even if Jian Xi didnât care that others learned she had heart disease and refused to participate in the race, it ought not to be her name.
But Li Meng thought Jian Xi was keen on face-saving.
She wouldnât want others to know that she had a disease.
So Li Meng dared to play such a trick.
âWhat?â The monitor was very confused.
âI didnât sign up for the 1500-meter long-distance race.â
âOh, I know.â Because no girls wanted to participate in the race, she didnât put any name on the blank.
âBut why is my name on the list?â
The monitor was stunned. She followed Li Meng and sure enough saw Li Mengâs name was on the list.
Eh...
What is happening?
âI signed up for you.â
Ming Shu sat in her seat, tilting her body, and admitted it very frankly. âCourtesy demands reciprocity, Classmate Li Meng, you donât need to thank me.â
âHow can you do that?â
Li Meng raised her voice and questioned.
The students in the classroom were attracted by the voice and gathered around.
âYou can help me, so why canât I help you? Weâre classmates so we should help each other.â
Onlooker classmates: â...â Is that the way you understand helping each other?
Li Meng gritted her teeth. âItâs my own business to participate or not, why did you fill in my name? Have you asked my permission?â
Ming Shu spread her hands. âYou also didnât ask my permission when you put my name in.â
Li Meng would of course not admit it. âWhat nonsense are you talking about! When did I put your name? I wasnât in charge of this matter, how could I sign up for you?â
âLi Meng...â
The short-haired girl walked out of the crowd of students.
She was holding some cash in her hands. Then in the face of everyone, she gave the money to Li Meng. âI shouldnât have signed up for Jian Xi without her permission for this money.â
Li Meng was shocked. âWhat do you mean?â
The short-haired girl handed the money to Li Meng and then ran out of the classroom while covering her face.
As long as she saw Ming Shuâs smiling face, her legs would tremble.
Li Meng looked at the surrounding students. âI didnât, itâs none of my business, she framed me...â
The girl promised that she wouldnât report on her even if it was found out.
Li Meng felt a little dizzy and saw everyoneâs faces spinning. Their whispers reached her ears.
âSheâs a bastard daughter...â
âSheâs from the countryside...â
âSheâs just a sparrow that wants to become a phoenix...â
âFraming...â
âShut up, shut up!â
Li Meng suddenly looked over at Ming Shu.
Calm down.
Calm down, I wonât surrender.
The discussions quieted down. Li Meng pushed away the students in her way and strode out of the classroom.
The monitor: â...â
Whatâs all this about!
Isnât it just a 1500-meter long-distance race?
No one is forced to participate in it, but why pay someone off, what exactly...
The monitor suddenly recalled Ming Shuâs words. She swallowed and looked to the classroomâs door with horrified eyes.
If Jian Xi really had heart disease and she participated in the running... what would happen?
Was Li Meng so vicious?
Was she...
The monitor mentioned this matter to her sisters, and with one telling another, the news spread soon.
Rumors were already everywhere because of the previous conflicts between Li Meng and Han Qian.
Han Qian also said before that Li Meng was not the Han familyâs person, she was a bastard daughter from nowhere.
They didnât expect Li Meng to be such a vicious person.
Then, naturally, they also learned Ming Shu had heart disease.
Since the students learned this, they never dared to quarrel with Ming Shu.
They looked at her as if looking at a weak flower that would break at any time.
Ye West Wind went to buy snacks for Ming Shu when this happened, so he didnât know and was rather confused. âAre they out of their minds?â
âTheyâre probably stunned by my beauty.â
Ye West Wind was speechless. âCould you be more narcissistic?â
Ming Shu raised her serious face. âThen Iâll need to eat more and become more beautiful.â
â...â I never heard that eating more will help you become more beautiful. âI think itâll be great if you donât gain weight, donât even think about becoming beautiful.â
âIâm sorry, but itâs really not your fault that youâll gain weight only drinking water.â
Ye West Wind: â...â
Ye West Wind who had gained much weight recently was severely hurt by the sad facts.
He stared at Ming Shu whose body shape didnât even change a little, feeling the stomachache silently.
Why is it so unfair?
...
The list of 1500-meter long-distance race participants had been reported to the teacher and couldnât be changed. Li Meng had to participate in the running.
On the day that sports meet opened, Han Ying came back with a gloomy expression. Li Meng didnât expect that.
âYou canât even handle a tiny issue.â Han Ying looked at the young, vigorous students in the playground and sounded even gloomier.
âI...â
âForget it.â
Han Ying walked past Li Meng and toward the crowd.
The manâs back figure was shrouded in a layer of gloominess and Li Meng couldnât help shivering.
Before her rebirth, she also suffered a great many different circumstances and met all kinds of people, but someone like Han Ying...
She never met one before.
âSister Jian Xi.â
Han Ying stopped before Ming Shu.
Ming Shu bit into the lollipop and looked up at the man who was taller than her.
Whatâs so good about being tall!
Ming Shu drove off the errand boy who occupied a stool behind her and stood on it. Immediately she grew tall and could look down at Han Ying. âWhoâs your sister? Mr. Han, donât call others at your will.â
Han Ying: â...â Really?!
Why do I suddenly feel this girl is a little cute?
No!
Sheâs Jian Shuâs sister.
Jian Shu is my old enemy!
âSister Jian Xi, why havenât you participated in the sports meet?â Han Ying ignored Ming Shuâs words completely. âOh, I almost forgot, Sister Jian Xi has a weak heart, what a pity. At your age, itâs the time to run around outdoors. Sister Jian Xi, you must be very sad about it.â
âNot at all. I donât like moving.â As long as I have snacks, I can stay quiet and motionless forever.
â...â I donât know how to pick up this topic.
âJian Xi!â Ye West Wind rushed over from nowhere and helped her down directly. âWhy are you standing so high? What if you fall down?â
Ming Shu broke free from him and smiled. âYe West Wind, if you touch me again, Iâll let my brother beat you up.â
Do you think anyone can touch me at will?
Even the snacks ATM had no such privilege!
Ye West Wind: â...â I know you have a brother!
âHan Ying, why are you haunting her like a ghost!â Ye West Wind vented his anger on Han Ying. âIf you harass her again, Iâll let Jian Shu beat you up.â
Ye West Wind learned and applied immediately.
Han Ying: â...â
Jian Shu, Jian Shu... Jian Shu is everywhere.
When he was young, Han Ying had always been compared with Jian Shu; when he went to school, the school compared him with Jian Shu; now he had graduated and began to work, but some people still compared him with Jian Shu.
How on earth was Jian Shu better than him?
Jian Shu was the one stained with evil deeds, but he fooled everyone else.
âSister Jian Xi, weâll have plenty of time.â
Han Ying cast sheepâs eyes at Ming Shu, then swaggered away.
âYe West Wind, letâs go.â
âGo where?â
âFind a bag and weâll go beat someone up.â Ming Shu rolled up her sleeves. Plenty of time? Okay, Iâll let this pervert know what is plenty of time.
âHuh?â
