After bowing, Tao Zhi remembered something else. She grabbed the microphone and stood up, casually adding: “Oh right, PS — if I see this kind of thing again, I might still lose control.” Tao Zhi held up her index and middle fingers in a V-shape, pointing forward. “I’m watching you.” The girl’s brazen voice echoed…

Early Monday morning, the campus was quiet with only a few early arrivers waiting at the school store, and boarding students leisurely walking to the teaching building while eating breakfast. Tao Zhi sat at the school gate holding a bottle of water, her head tilted lazily as she propped it up, yawning as she took…

Tao Zhi tried hard to imagine Jiang Qi Huai helping someone clean and disinfect wounds with a medical cotton swab, but found it difficult to picture. Such an absurd image was horrifying just to imagine. Jiang Qi Huai was the type of person where if he voluntarily offered to help you, you’d have to be…

The orange basketball bounced twice on the ground before rolling to the edge of the court. No one spoke, and no one knew what had happened. Only those few in the middle who were close enough heard clearly. Li Shuang Jiang vaguely guessed what was going on from their conversation. Similar things had happened with…

She should have rushed in immediately to pull Song Jiang away, but each time she wanted to go in, she felt like she couldn’t take that step. Her gaze lingered on…

Jiang Qi Huai had actually just written down Tao Zhi’s name without much thought. He had no interest in running for class monitor, nor did he plan to get closer to his classmates during the remaining two years of high school. After a week of school, he had barely spoken to anyone in Class 1,…

Those two words were extremely domineering. She wasn’t negotiating with him — there was no room for discussion. It was as if she was merely informing him. — I’m unilaterally declaring a truce with you. Under normal circumstances, Jiang Qi Huai thought these two words should have made him feel annoyed. But. His gaze lingered…

The fight, after all, did break out. Tao Zhi thought with perfect serenity. Although our fighter wasn’t her, and the enemy wasn’t Jiang Qi Huai.
