Chapter 28: League of Poor Students (5)

Shangguan Feng couldn’t answer that question.

He was neither her boyfriend nor her love interest. What qualification or identity did he have to question her?

But when he saw that picture, he couldn’t help but get angry.

“Lu Meng, although I don’t like you, I always regarded you as my sister, hoping that you could be a good girl. How could you do that?” Yes, although he wasn’t her boyfriend, they grew up together and he was her brother.

Thinking that he was her brother, Shangguan Feng would speak his mind.

“I didn’t accuse you of making trouble out of nothing before because you’re young. But what did you do recently? You fooled around in a bar with others at night, aren’t you ashamed?”

Oh, even though the Host fooled around in a bar at night, does it have anything to do with you?

Do you think you are a celestial being? You’re shameless!

“I don’t deserve that. Don’t regard me as your sister. I am afraid that I will anger you to death.” Why didn’t you say that you regarded the Host as a sister when you were ambiguously in a relationship with her?

And now he questioned the Host when there were so many people around, and even directly claimed she was shameless. Ming Shu didn’t think that Shangguan Feng really regarded the Host as a sister.

If I had a brother like you, I would bury him in the soil so that he could grow up again.

“Lu Meng, you really let me down.” Shangguan Feng shook his head with disappointment on his face.

He had thought that Lu Meng would explain herself to him, but now she just looked like a dead mouse that felt no cold.

Ming Shu moved her wrists and shifted around, asking, “Are you finished?”

Seeing that, Shangguan Feng stepped back unconsciously. “What do you want to do?”

The girl opposite him answered with a smile, “I want to exercise after breakfast.”

…

When Shangguan Feng was beaten by Ming Shu for the second time, he was sure this Lu Meng wasn’t the one he knew. She might be crazy.

“Why did you fight?” The headmaster, holding a ruler, asked with a serious face.

The two, one of whom was the the famous straight-A student, fought in the dining hall early in the morning.

“Headmaster, I didn’t fight,” Ming Shu retorted, one hand up.

“I saw it in person. Do you want to deny it?” The headmaster smacked his ruler against the table heavily, unable to restrain his anger. “Lu Meng, I thought you were a good student.”

“Well, you thought that.” Ming Shu coughed and smiled. “Headmaster, I really didn’t fight.”

The headmaster was so angry that the skin of his face even trembled. “Fine, you tell me what you did in the dining hall.”

“Hit people.” I hit him just now, I didn’t fight with him. Fighting will reduce my prestige and must be corrected.

“What’s the different between fight and hit?” the headmaster shouted loudly. He almost died from anger! “Do you think hitting people is reasonable? Are you smiling? Don’t smile!”

Is smiling against the law?

I’ll smile whenever I want!

In the end, Ming Shu and Shangguan Feng were punished by the angry headmaster. Their punishment was to clean the playground for one week separately and write a self-criticizing paper.

Covering his face, Shangguan Feng left the office with Ming Shu, asking in a deep voice, “Are you satisfied? Lu Meng, no matter what you do, I won’t like you anymore. You’d better give up.”

“What a coincidence. I won’t like you neither.” I won’t like a bad man who can’t even be compared to my snacks.

Shangguan Feng thought Ming Shu was reluctant to admit that she still liked him.

He was confused before about why she had changed greatly. Now he understood. She did it to attract his attention.

Ming Shu passed Shangguan Feng briskly.

…

Ye Miaomiao had asked her friend to delete that Post, but it had already been seen by many people. Besides, Shangguan Feng questioned Ming Shu in the dining hall, so this matter spread among the students.

However, Ming Shu, who was involved, attended classes as if nothing had happened. Facing others’ gossip, she could respond with a warm and lovely smile that made others fearful. They didn’t dare gossip in her presence…

“Mengmeng, who do you think did that?” When the teacher was writing on the blackboard and couldn’t see the students, Ye Miaomiao asked Ming Shu in a lowered voice. She thought this matter and those pictures were strange…

But Ming Shu didn’t want to talk about it. What could Ye Miaomiao do?

The one involved was not worried but the standby was.

“Except for Jin Yuqi, who would do that?” Shangguan Feng questioned her this morning; obviously he wasn’t responsible. Other than Shangguan Feng, only Jin Yuqi would do that.

“Jin Yuqi?” Ye Miaomiao’s tone changed. “Mengmeng, how do you know that?”

Ming Shu smiled at Ye Miaomiao, answering, “You guess.”

I guessed it. I don’t know how I know that.

After school in the afternoon, Ming Shu was about to clean the playground. Ye Miaomiao wanted to help her, but was refused by Ming Shu and left unwillingly.

The playground was huge and Ming Shu didn’t intend to clean it. She walked from one side to the other, where there was a grove. After school every day, Jin Yuqi would meet with another man there.

Ming Shu decided to watch them. And she would destroy their date to win Hatred Points if there was any chance.

[Guest, you could kidnap Jin Yuqi and lock her in the place where you were locked. It’ll be no problem winning Hatred Points then and you also could avenge the Host.]

“…”

The Harmony System is instigating me again.

I’ve said I can’t withstand any instigation.

Does your behavior match your name?

Does your conscience feel guilty?

Ming Shu’s eyes rolled and she asked, “Can you provide me with any tools?”

[I could keep watch for you.]

Ming Shu refused. “Useless. Shut up.”

Except instigating her, what’s the else of this system?

[…]

Ming Shu walked into the grove. In it was a lake that possessed water clear enough for the plants at the bottom to be visible.

Several fish swam in it, sending ripples across the lake.

Ming Shu saw that two people sat by the lake. The girl was looking at the boy and talking to him softly while the boy was holding a pen and drawing.

The boy student was a dummy; he liked drawing and always came here. So Jin Yuqi came here too every day after school to talk to him, which touched the boy student greatly. Thus the boy student gradually fell in love with Jin Yuqi.

Ming Shu squatted in the grove behind them, thinking about the Harmony System’s suggestion.

If she really kidnapped Jin Yuqi and locked her in the old teaching building’s classroom, how much energy would she spend and how much food would she have to eat to replenish that energy?

“Lu Meng, what are you looking at?” A man appeared on one side of Ming Shu suddenly, a familiar voice ringing out beside her ear.

Ming Shu turned her head and looked into the boy student’s curious gaze. Instead of a uniform, he wore a T-shirt on which there was a fierce skull.

“It’s you again.” Their first encounter might be coincidence. The second encounter might be fate. So what was the reason for this third encounter? “… What’s your purpose? Did you fall in love with my talent or beauty?”

Or do you want to murder me in order to inherit my snacks?

Leaning against the tree, the boy student looked at Ming Shu with a slight smile on his face. “Lu Meng, you seem so confident.”

“I’m talented.” I am so confident. If you can’t bear that, then hit me!

“…”

He really had never seen such a confident person.

The man squatted beside the tree and asked, “What are you looking at?”

Ming Shu moved to the side. “What’s your purpose?”
