Chapter 9 of Volume 1: The Little Bird Depends on People

  A total score of 100 points, 3 points!

  A 30-minute multiple-choice question can't be worth only 3 points, right? Unless you don't understand anything at all and are also extremely unlucky!

  Xīn Yuè was still reeling from the shock and pain when she heard her teacher's salt-rubbing words, "Some of our female classmates think that just being pretty is enough, they don't take their studies seriously at all, this is simply an attitude problem! Hmph! It's infuriating just thinking about it, I won't say any more!"

  Alas, the road stretches far and long...

  Grade 2 Class 2.

  Young teacher Xu, who is both the class advisor and English teacher, stood on the platform excitedly and said: "Classmates, this time's English test was very difficult, but everyone did their best, which is great! Our class even has a student who got the highest score in the whole grade - 99 points! I hope classmates won't be proud of themselves, but instead continue to work hard!"

  "Yes!" The whole class erupted in enthusiastic response.

  "Now I start distributing the test papers, and they will be given out in order from highest to lowest score. Yin Qingchi, here is your paper! Congratulations on getting the first place in this exam!"

  Silence...

  Still silent...

  The classmate poked the already sleeping Qingchi, who rubbed his eyes, with saliva still dripping from the corner of his mouth. Seeing the teacher smiling at him, he reluctantly and lazily stood up.

  Qingchi thought she was being asked by the teacher and looked around hopefully for someone to give her an answer, but saw that everyone else had a confused expression on their face.

  A group of pigs rejoicing in others' misfortune! Qing Chi cursed inwardly.

  The teacher, who loved talented students like his own children, patiently repeated himself, "Yin Qingchi, congratulations on getting the first place in this petition! Please come up to the stage to receive your paper!"

  "Sorry! I don't know!" (This is the only English sentence that Yin Qingchi is most familiar with and understands)

  。。。。。。

  After class.

  Classmates stared at him like a plague god, and Qingchi disdainfully turned his face to one side.

  "What's wrong with you today? Wearing this kind of clothes to school?" He Tong patted Qing Chi on the shoulder and asked.

  Oh, this is Xinyue's good friend, quite handsome, but just has long hair, don't like it!

  "Anyway, today isn't a day where we have to wear our school uniforms." Qing Chi shrugged, unbothered.

  "It's not good, you're too eye-catching and arrogant, Guidou, why don't you just write a big character?!" He Tong lowered his body and said seriously: "The girl you like, Xia Xinyue, the problem is not easy to handle."

  "What's wrong? What can't be done?" Qingchi suddenly stood up, wow! That silly boy, on the surface he looks stupid, but secretly he's playing such tricks. I'm sure it was him who was behind the scenes when I was followed by a few bad students in the school that day.

  "This girl is too arrogant, flying high and mighty, doesn't put people in her eyes. It's said that several third-graders confessed to her, but she actually beat them up and exposed their bodies in the wilderness! Haha, and then the next sentence is an exaggeration."

  "Ah, impossible!" Qingchi slapped the table heavily, scaring everyone into staring at him in shock. "You're going too far! Xia Xinyue is obviously a gentle and weak girl who's good at understanding people, how could she hit someone? You must be mistaken."

  Good grief... Were those people going to confess their feelings to me that day? I was in a rush and didn't have time to listen to what they had to say. What's the point of doing it all at once, can't they just do it one by one?!

  "Anyway, this girl is a tomboy, I advise you to give up on her, let me help you find another one!"

  Rough woman... Rough woman... Rough woman...

  Ching Chi was about to blow his top when he suddenly heard someone say: "Yin Ching Chi, a female classmate is looking for you!"

  By the classroom door.

  A slender girl half lowered her head, as if she didn't dare look straight at the pool, and said softly:

  "Take this and give it to... no, give it to your dad, remember to thank him for me!"

  Qingchi took the clothes and stared blankly at the girl in front of her, who was clearly her former self. How could she be so cute? Why didn't she have that feeling when she looked in the mirror before?

  Her long hair was softly draped over her shoulders, and her neatly trimmed bangs fluttered gently in the breeze. Her big eyes sparkled with a shimmering luster... Dammit, why were her eyes red-rimmed again? It looked like she was about to cry or had just cried! Had I intimidated her?!

  "Alright, you can go now!" Qingchi pointed in the direction of Class 7 with a wave of his hand and said gruffly.

  "Oh..." Xīnyuè had wanted to talk about finding Bīngtóng and restoring his true form, but seeing so many people standing around, she was afraid of being overheard, and ultimately didn't say anything. She lowered her head and walked towards the classroom.

  "Wait!" Qingchi shouted loudly, instantly attracting a few more sharp gazes. Qingchi didn't care about these, with an eerie smile on his face, he leaned in close to Xiangyue's ear and whispered: "Wow, the male body is so mysterious!"

  "You, you...!" Xīnyuè gritted her teeth in anger, "What exactly did you do to my body?!" This voice was not loud nor soft, but just right for the people around her to hear, causing several eavesdroppers' faces to turn bright red, their expressions dazed and confused.

  Xīn yuè turned her thoughts around and thought that since Qing Chi had done so, didn't it mean...

  "Don't you dare!" Qing Chi seemed to have seen through her motives at a glance, clenched his fist and said in a low voice: "If you dare to mess with me, humph, I'll take off my pants and run naked in my socks. Don't say I didn't warn you!"

  Qingchi burst out laughing and turned to leave, leaving our poor Xinyue shivering in the autumn wind, staring blankly at his receding back, her big eyes welling up with a misty film of water vapor, full of grievance and melancholy.

  People wearing glasses all fell off their glasses... Those who didn't wear glasses almost dropped their jaws on the ground...

  When did the legendary rough beauty become so gentle and lovely, making people involuntarily feel sad with her tears and joyful with her laughter?

  However, she was surprisingly well-behaved and obedient to her usual gentle boyfriend, Yin Qingchi.

  Impossible! There must be some misunderstanding here!
