Chapter 17: Rewards

  "I know, but I won't tell him, let's go." He said, and was about to jump onto Qi Xiao's car.

  "You're not eating anymore, I heard from your dad that you didn't eat breakfast, aren't you here to eat?" Qi Xiao had gone to Xizi's house first and knew they couldn't cook at home, so he came to this fast food restaurant for breakfast.

  "Oh dear, I've already eaten, let's go quickly." Xizi thought that in order to buy clothes, she would have to starve herself and felt heartbroken, so she urged him on.

  "No way? I saw you from afar, and you hadn't even entered yet." Zhi Shuo had seen her before she even arrived, he just waited for her to enter before calling out to her.

  The lie was exposed, and Xīzi felt a bit embarrassed. Irritated, she said: "What's with all the fuss? Can't I just lose weight? Let's go." Xīzi didn't want to mention that she wanted to save up to buy clothes, thinking that Qí Zhuō would laugh at her if he found out.

  "Then sit well." Qi Xiao looked at her impatiently and didn't bother to argue with her, pedaling his bicycle towards school.

  Xizi's mom was a bit down after burning the kitchen, but as soon as she arrived at work, everyone surrounded her asking about Xizi's love life. It made her heart, which had been hurting to death, feel slightly better. Her colleague Xiaoling saw so many people surrounding her and said with a hint of jealousy: "Hey, does Xizi's mom have some good news or something? Why are there so many people around her?"

  A nosy colleague said: "Xiaoling, haven't you seen WeChat Moments? Xizi is dating."

  "Oh my, what's the big deal. Romance isn't anything, it's all about who you're with." This little Ling wasn't just anyone, she was actually Yu Fei'er's mother. Although she was just an ordinary civil servant, her husband's business was booming. Usually she would show off through her daughter."

  "This colleague continued: 'The object is not bad, it seems like the only son of the Qi Group.'"

  "Haha, how is that possible. The only son of the Qi Group, is actually dating our family's Fei." He said with disdain as he sat down at his own workstation.

  "Really? So that means this kid dumped your family's Feier and chose my family's Xizi?" Xizi's mom was overjoyed when she heard that Qiao Shuo was Feier's boyfriend.

  Fei's mom got angry and quickly opened her phone to check WeChat. Unexpectedly, she really saw a photo of Qi Shuo and Xizi, as well as a family photo of four people. Instantly furious, but still stubbornly saying: "What are you talking nonsense about? There are too many people chasing our Fei, it's not surprising that she changed boyfriends."

  Xizi's mother didn't think so and said happily: "Ah, our Xizi is just careful and doesn't easily make friends."

  Fei's mom was furious and went to the bathroom to send a WeChat message to Yu Feier. Yu Feier had already been outraged when she heard about Qi Xiaozi entering the school campus that morning. When she opened WeChat and saw the picture her mom sent, she felt like she was going to die. However, Yu Feier is a strong girl and has many supporters. The captain of the basketball team, Wen Yuxin, even had someone deliver a love letter to her. This love letter was undoubtedly a timely rain for Yu Feier. After reading it, she immediately picked up her pen and wrote a long response back. She even proudly said, "This is my first time responding to a love letter!"

  Qizhuo's deskmate Wang Ming saw the situation and gossiped, "Hey Qizhuo, I remember you wrote a letter to Yu Feier, didn't she ever respond?"

  Zi Shuo couldn't sit still in his seat, and this blind guy was pouring oil on the fire. However, Xizi, a classmate who guaranteed quality, happened to see this scene. Blushing, she stood at the door of Class 165, knocked on the door, and said: "Zi Shuo, do you know why I wasn't late today?" Zi Shuo didn't respond, looking at her in confusion, while the classmates of Class 165 waited for her to continue. Xizi pretended to be nervous, clearing her throat, and continued: "It's because I don't want you to lose face. I know I'm not a school beauty, my studies are poor, and I'm always being laughed at by my classmates. But today, for your sake, I handed in all my homework. I hope that when you're with me, it's serious, not just a momentary impulse."

  "Wow, Qi Chuo you're so domineering! I dared to imagine that you could move heaven and earth, but unexpectedly you moved Ma Liang to hand in his homework." Qi Chuo's deskmate was shocked as if he had eaten a bomb, and the whole class was in an uproar. The news immediately spread like wildfire throughout the school. Although Xi Zi wasn't the most popular girl in school, she was still a hot topic, the top of the headlines. The news of Yu Fei's correspondence with the basketball team captain was instantly overshadowed by Qi Chuo moving Ma Liang to hand in his homework. Qi Chuo finally made it to the top of Hong Xing High School's most popular person rankings. With both fame and fortune, Qi Chuo suddenly thought that Xi Zi was quite cute.

  This morning's third period was physical education class, and Xizi didn't have her usual three laps of jogging. She was required to strengthen her exercise and ran until the end of class. Since she hadn't eaten breakfast, she was starving and had stomach pains, walking back and forth while holding her belly. The fourth period was the 165 class's physical education class, and Qi Si bumped into Xizi, who looked pale, on his way to the playground with his classmates. Classmate Wang Ming joked: "Qi Si, your girlfriend seems to have gotten her period, why don't you go take care of her?"

  Qizhuo angrily twisted Wang Ming's arm and said: "You tell me again?"

  "Ow, ow, ow, I was wrong, boss, tyrannical president." Wang Ming cried out in pain and begged for mercy loudly.

  Zi Shuo exerted himself and pushed him away, angrily saying: "Don't play this kind of joke on me again in the future." After that, he turned around and walked back.

  Wang Ming didn't know what he was doing and shouted: "Class is about to start, what are you doing?"

  "I know, I'm coming right away." Zhi Xiao responded in agreement and quickened his pace back to the classroom. It turned out that he had remembered that Xi Zi hadn't eaten breakfast, which was why she looked like that after finishing gym class. He still had some cookies prepared by his family in his backpack, thinking of giving them to Xi Zi to fill her up a bit.

  Xizi took over Qi's cookie and smiled: "How come you care about me so much, won't you really like me?"

  Zi Chuo poked Xizi's forehead and said: "You think you're so great? This is the reward for your excellent service."

  "Alright, I won't be polite then." Xizi shrugged her shoulders and took the cookies back to her seat. She was starving to death and ate more than half of them in one breath. Looking at Liang Ziqin beside her, she hadn't spoken to her for over a day since yesterday morning. Borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha, she handed the cookies in front of him and said: "Hey, are you hungry?"

  Liang Zi Qian was harassed all day yesterday because of what happened with Gu Xiao at school. Today, he's being bothered again because of something she said about handing in homework to Qi Shuo. He had a belly full of anger and wanted to lash out at her, but then he saw how pitifully she was trying to curry favor with him. With great effort, he took a piece of candy and pushed the box back, saying "thank you".

  "That's it, I didn't do it on purpose. It's just that your friends are too gossipy, really has nothing to do with me." Xizi saw his attitude soften and happily continued eating.
