Li Meng didnât get a prize in the 1500-meter long-distance race. After her rebirth, Li Meng was only thinking about how to make her life better. She never thought about how to improve her own strength.
This was probably the difference between the female protagonist and fake female protagonist.
The female protagonist would think about how to make herself strong, rather than rely on others.
Han Ying was beaten up by Ming Shu. but didnât lower his head. He kept looking for trouble instead.
He often took the opportunity of picking up Li Meng to cause trouble for Ming Shu.
[Additional Task: Gain Hatred Points from Han Ying.]
The Harmony System seemed to be irritated itself and released the task to Ming Shu.
Facing such a person seeking death, even the readers wouldnât agree not to gain his Hatred Points.
But Han Yingâs Hatred Points were not easy to collect. During the following days, Ming Shu didnât find any chance to beat him again. He fled quickly every time.
âJian Xi, do you have a moment?â
Li Meng stood before Ming Shu and looked calm.
âAre you going to invite me to a meal?â
â...â Just keep dreaming!
Li Meng almost couldnât help rolling her eyes.
She thought more and more that this woman was shameless.
Also...
She changed a lot...
It was very strange.
âLetâs meet here after school this afternoon. I have something to tell you.â Li Meng put a folded note in front of Ming Shu. âYouâll regret it if you donât come.â
Then Li Meng turned back to her seat.
âIâm afraid Iâll regret it if I do.â I know the fake female protagonist doesnât have any good intention at a glance, and I wonât go. Ye West Wind said heâll invite me to have lobster.
When school was over, Ming Shu stood at the gate waiting for Ye West Wind, who was lecturing his errand boys.
âIâll wait for you, come alone, or youâll regret it.â
Li Meng passed by Ming Shu.
Ming Shu bit into the hawthorn stick and pulled on a smile. Just wait if you like, but Iâm not going. Iâm going to have lobsters.
Then she turned to Ye West Wind and was about to urge him.
âWhat will that bumpkin Li Meng wait for you for?â
Han Qianâs face suddenly appeared before Ming Shu. Her curly hair had already been returned to straight black hair, with glittering crystal hair ornaments on her head and colorful snacks in her arms, which ought to have been gifted by her pursuers.
She happened to pass here and heard Li Mengâs words to Ming Shu, so she asked out of courtesy.
After all, she was Jian Shuâs sister.
That Li Meng... She just didnât look like a law-abiding person.
Seeing Ye West Wind was still talking to his boys, Ming Shu was bored of waiting and decided to have a small talk with Han Qian.
[...] If she didnât have those snacks, the Guest wouldnât even give her a second glance.
Guest is snobbish!
âWhere does she want to meet you?â Han Qian was curious.
âI donât know.â
âYou donât know?â
Ming Shu gave Han Qian a look. âI donât intend to go, so why should I bother figuring out the address?â
Han Qian thumbed up for Ming Shu silently in her heart.
She asked you for a meeting, yet you didnât even want to know the address.
Do you have any respect?!
âXixi, is this yours?â
Ye West Wind put away his belongings and also took Ming Shuâs stuff from her desk.
They were several extracurricular books. When he passed them to Ming Shu, a note slid down.
The note happened to fall at Han Qianâs feet and Han Qian bent over to pick it up. It read the address written by Li Meng.
âIsnât this my brotherâs place?â Han Qian frowned. âWhy did she want to meet you there?â
âYour brotherâs place?â Ming Shu raised her eyebrows.
âRight...â Han Qian nodded. âItâs not a good place. Recently Li Meng and my brother seem very close, it makes me sick.â
âWho wants to date you?â Ye West Wind caught a few words and didnât know what they were actually talking about. âXixi, are you seeing someone? Do you have a crush on someone? You must know that early love is not allowed!â
âI want to see what these two are planning,â Han Qian suddenly said. âJian Xi, will you go with me?â
âWhere are you going?â Ye West Wind cut in. âHan Qian, donât take my Xixi to do bad things.â
âYour Xixi? Come on, your last name is Ye, hers is Jian, how come sheâs yours?â Han Qian was unhappy. âJian Xi, come with me, Iâll give you all the food in the future that others gift to me!â
Han Qian gave the final word.
Give me all her food!
âOkay.â Perhaps I can gain some extra Hatred Points.
...
Li Meng asked Ming Shu to meet her at a nightclub.
Ye West Wind kept murmuring on the way that if Jian Shu knew he took the little ancestor to a nightclub, he would kill him.
Han Qian led them into the club.
âIs that her?â
Under the dim, colorful lights, Han Qian asked Ming Shu as it was hard to see clearly.
Ming Shu looked over. Li Meng was sitting alone on the couch in a corner.
The noise was very loud in here, and the air was cloudy and mixed with various smells. Ming Shu felt vaguely sick in the heart.
âXixi, are you feeling uncomfortable?â Ye West Wind asked concernedly. Because Ming Shu warned him not to touch her before, he didnât dare to touch her now.
âYes, a little.â Ming Shu pulled Han Qian and pointed to the surrounding environment. âIâll go wait for you outside.â
âHuh?â
Ming Shu then pointed at her own chest.
Others may not be willing to say the reason or go outside because they didnât want to lose face.
Ming Shu wouldnât be that stupid.
She wouldnât continue if she felt uncomfortable.
She wasnât willing to suffer just because she ought not to lose face.
âOkay, fine.â Han Qian gave an OK with her hand.
Ye West Wind took Ming Shu out of the nightclub and bought her some water. âI told you not to come to such places, your weak body wonât handle this.â
âHave you finished?â Ming Shu drank the water. âAre you brainwashed by Jian Shu now?â
âIâm worrying about you,â Ye West Wind murmured.
âYe West Wind.â
The boy stood under the colorful light board and looked over with confusion.
âDo you like me?â
He heard the girl who was sitting beside him ask this lightly.
The confused sounds around him seemed to suddenly disappear.
The only thing left was the girlâs delicate face, with her lips slightly upturned and her entire person covered with tenderness.
Her eyes were so clear and she seemed to be in a pure world of her own. The surrounding lights were automatically screened out of that world.
âWhat nonsense are you saying?â Ye West Wind returned to himself. âI promised Brother Jian Shu that I would look after you. If anything bad happens to you, itâll be my responsibility.â
No one noticed that the boyâs ears under the cover of his hair turned red.
âDonât like me.â
The girlâs voice carried through the chaotic noises.
Ye West Wind was stunned on the spot.
Why?
He wanted to ask, but didnât make any sound for a long time.
He saw the girl smile lightly. She seemed to think of something and the atmosphere around her became even more tender.
Ye West Wind swallowed. He was a little angry. âWho would like you.â
âGreat.â
Ming Shu continued drinking her water.
Ye West Wind stood in place and didnât know why, but he felt his surroundings became distorted. He didnât know where he was standing and his mind became a mess.
