"Sure." Xu Li smiled.
After Xu Li left, Lu Peian came back to his senses. He was… stunned just now?
Lu Peian lowered his eyes. He felt that he had meddled in other people's business, but perhaps because he had seen that Xu Li had the same ideals as him, he was more tolerant of her. Or rather, he pitied her… He wanted to study medicine, and his family was very supportive. He had never suffered any setbacks in his life. Perhaps it was because of this that he felt sorry for Xu Li?
Lu Peian could not tell what he was feeling. He would buy Xu Li's magazines when Xu Baifu threw them away as a piece of junk. When he heard Xu Li say that she would not get into Hai Cheng University, he would comfort her.
Lu Peian tightened his grip on the test paper and exhaled.
Xu Li returned to the classroom with a stack of test papers. When she passed by Meng Qingqing's seat, she was stopped by her. "Xu Li, why did Zhang Jian call you?"
Xu Li patted her head and pretended to sigh helplessly. "I think I've been infected by your stupidity. I copied the homework wrongly yesterday."
When Meng Qingqing heard this, she laughed so hard that she rocked back and forth. After laughing for a while, she reacted. "No, what do you mean by my stupidity is contagious? You're blaming me? You were the one who copied it wrong!"
Wen Heng was playing a game when he heard the voice. He looked up and said, "My mother said that if you play with a fool, you'll become stupid after a long time. Boss, do you understand what she said?"
"You're the one who's stupid! Wen Heng, are you asking for a beating again!" Meng Qingqing said as she chased after Wen Heng and started fighting again. Wen Heng was playing a game and could not free his hands. He wailed, "Boss! Boss, save me!"
Xu Li watched from the side with a smile.
After class, Xu Li took out the test paper that Long Long had given her and began to write. The questions this time were indeed quite difficult. By noon, Xu Li had only done about 30 questions. On the way to dinner with Meng Qingqing, she met an unexpected person.
There were two ways to go from the school building to the cafeteria. The main road was close, but there were many trees on both sides of the other path, so it was cooler. Most students would choose to take the main road in order to quickly finish their meal and return to the classroom to study. Xu Li and Meng Qingqing were different. They just strolled around, so they took the small road every time. There were not many people on the road. Halfway there, they suddenly heard a few cries of pain.
Meng Qingqing's eyes lit up. She grabbed Xu Li's hand and ran forward. "Quick, there's a show to watch!"
Xu Li had no choice but to follow her.
The voice came from behind the flower bed by the side of the path. After passing the flower bed, Xu Li saw the situation clearly. A boy in a black short-sleeved shirt bent over and grabbed the collar of another boy, knocking his head against the flower bed. His movements were fierce and ruthless. There were red bloodstains on the flower bed. The boy who was beaten up was wearing the school uniform of No.1 Middle School. The moment the boy in the black short-sleeved shirt pulled him up, Xu Li saw his face.
Xu Li could only use this word to describe the boy who had been beaten up. His face was covered in blood, and there was a huge wound on his forehead. He kept begging for mercy. When he spoke, Xu Li realized that one of his front teeth had also fallen out.
Meng Qingqing saw it too. She, who had been eager to watch a good show, was suddenly frightened by the scene in front of her. She pulled Xu Li's arm. "Xu Li… Will someone die?" Although she liked to watch a good show, Xu Li usually only kicked people down when she fought. She would wait for that person to beg for forgiveness and be done with it. She would not hit him so ruthlessly, nor would she hit him so desperately.
Xu Li covered Meng Qingqing's eyes. "Don't look." With that, she took out her phone from her school uniform pocket with her other hand and was about to call the police. However, the next moment, the boy in the black short-sleeved shirt looked up. Xu Li recognized his face. It was Jiang Kai.
Xu Li paused for a moment, turned off her phone, and put it back in her pocket. Then, she held Meng Qingqing's shoulder and turned her around. "Go to the cafeteria first. Keep walking and don't look back."
"What about you?" Meng Qingqing tugged at Xu Li's sleeve worriedly.
Xu Li said, "I'm fine. You go first."
Meng Qingqing was so scared that her legs went weak. When she heard Xu Li's words, she left obediently. However, when she reached the corner, she could not help but turn around. She saw Jiang Kai's face clearly and the boy he was dragging as if he was dead… Meng Qingqing shivered and did not dare to leave. She was afraid that if she left, Jiang Kai would go crazy and attack Xu Li.
