Ming Ti irritably shook off Ming Chenâs hand and said coldly, âWhatâs your name?â
âIâm Ming Chen, are you an idiot?â
âWhere are you from?â
âOf course, Jiyue Temple...â
Ming Ti snorted coldly, âGood, you havenât forgotten. I thought the rich and luxurious life in Jiangzhou might have made you forget your identity.â
Ming Chen isnât stupid. She picked up the doll and dusted it off. âOf course, I wonât forget my identity. An orphaned little nun, if it werenât for Ming Jing, weâd still be starving and freezing on the mountain.â
âIn Buddhism, we must restrain our greed, anger, and ignorance, donât forget that.â
Ming Chen sneered, âAre you out of your mind? Weâve returned to secular life, so we donât need to abide by the rules and precepts of Buddhism anymore. If you want to make yourself miserable, donât drag me down with you.â
âYou...â Ming Ti couldnât argue with her and coldly snorted, âIâm doing this for your own good.â
âNo need, I know youâre worried about Ming Jing, and I am too. But this is the path she chose. Everyone has their path to walk, and instead of worrying about others, why not think about yourself? We should make the best of our happy lives, and Ming Jing will be happy too.â Ming Chen carefully combed the dollâs hair and spoke without looking up.
Ming Ti glanced at her, unable to believe that such words could come from the smooth-talking, lazy, and gluttonous Ming Chen. After thinking about it, her words made a lot of sense.
âYouâre really annoying, you know? If you canât learn Ming Jingâs compassion, then donât wear a long face all the time. We donât have the potential to become enlightened, and weâre just nine-year-old girls. Canât we do what girls our age should do?â Ming Chen spoke with an impatient tone.
âWhatâs the point of worrying so much? Does Ming Jing need your concern? You think too highly of yourself.â Ming Chen walked into the school without looking back.
Ming Ti carried her schoolbag and trailed far behind Ming Chen.
It seemed she misunderstood Ming Chen too deeply.
She thought carefully about Ming Chenâs words, which were like a timely wake-up call.
Other students stared at Ming Chen and Ming Ti with a kind of gloating look.
Ming Chen squinted her eyes and stopped a boy with a smile, âWhat happened? Why are they giving me that look?â
Ming Tiâs mouth twitched as she saw Ming Chenâs dramatic performance and tried not to laugh.
At this age, most children have no discernment and follow the crowd. After hearing Ming Chenâs words, they subconsciously looked at Li Yu.
Li Yu indeed had thin hair, a large forehead, and looked a bit like the God of Longevity. She wasnât ugly but not pretty either.
Feeling the gazes from all directions, Li Yu thought they were mocking her and couldnât control her rage. She slammed the table, stood up, pointed at Ming Chen, and angrily said, âYou dare to curse me?â
Ming Chen rolled her eyes, making the surrounding boysâ eyes sparkle. How could someone look so good even when rolling their eyes?
âWhich one of you heard me cursing?â
The whole class shook their heads.
Ming Chen shrugged her shoulders and said innocently, âThe whole class has witnessed it, so you canât falsely accuse me.â
The boys felt Ming Chen was adorable and glared angrily at Li Yu. How could they accuse people? Ming Chen was obviously so kind and cute, they were just jealous!
Li Yu saw Ming Chenâs radiant smile, rosy lips, and dazzling teeth, as beautiful and charming as a flower. Her beautiful eyes sparkled with a mocking smile, provoking her.
Surrounded by boysâ whispers, âDid Li Yu spread the rumors? She must be jealous of Ming Chen, right?â
âItâs too vicious. If she canât compete with Ming Chen, she resorts to such cheap tricks. From now on, we wonât play with her. Who knows if sheâll backstab us?â
âMing Chen is obviously so well-behaved and cute. Last time in the cafeteria, she even bought me lunch when I lost my meal card. How could Li Yu slander her?â
As everyone was speaking for Ming Chen, Li Yuâs anger surged to her head.
âAh, some people just like to put the blame on themselves. I canât help it.â Ming Chen sighed regretfully.
Ming Ti noticed Li Yuâs mood was off and nudged Ming Chen secretly, âThatâs enough, donât provoke her.â
Ming Chen pouted her lips in dissatisfaction.
For a while, everyone looked at Li Yu with even more disdain and anger.
Furious, Li Yu threw caution to the wind and rushed at Ming Chen. âYou dare to oppose me? Iâll strangle you...!â
The classroom in the early morning was filled with chaos and people tumbling over one another.
