"Maizi, you need to have some confidence. Look at your figure, and then look at that skinny, dried-up figure like a little bean sprout. Brother Yun isn't blind; he'll definitely choose you," another person chimed in, trying to smooth things over.
Zhao Mai still felt uneasy. She had been hanging around with Yun Buji and his crew for over a year. Yet, despite her repeated declarations of love, he had shown no reaction, even pushing her away several times.
But she felt he treated this little princess differently.
Zhao Mai turned away angrily, her face dark, and left.
The others quickly followed.
Mianmian wondered if the cool-looking girl just now was Yun Buji's girlfriend. So, he liked that type of girl. She couldn't understand why her heart felt a pang of sourness.
"Your legs are so short, yet you walk so fast. You're practically a whirlwind," Yun Buji said, following her at a leisurely pace.
"I want to, what's it to you? From now on, if we meet, don't say you know me! I don't want any more trouble," Mianmian huffed, refusing to look at him.
Yun Buji's expression darkened. Trouble... Yes, for good students, they were indeed trouble.
He suddenly felt bored. He took Mianmian to the school gate and said, "You go in. Don't be alone recently. I'm leaving."
Mianmian looked back at him. "Aren't you going to class?"
Yun Buji let out a scoff. "Do I look like someone who's going to class?"
Mianmian...
She looked at him, hesitating. Seeing her like this, his heart softened, and he asked, "What is it? Is there something else?"
"Um... can you please go to class properly?" Mianmian asked softly.
"..."
"Have you thought about your future? Do you really want to mess around like this your whole life? If you can't even get into university, what will you do in the future?" Mianmian was genuinely worried for him.
Yun Buji looked at the little girl lecturing him with amusement. He suddenly leaned down, getting close to her. Mianmian flinched and quickly retreated, her demeanor defensive. "It's my business, but the only person who can control me is my girlfriend."
Mianmian's small face fell. "Got it, goodbye. No, it's never goodbye."
She turned and ran. So, he only let that cool short-haired girl have control.
Yun Buji watched the little girl's retreating figure. A slight heaviness settled in his heart. He didn't know where this feeling came from. He sighed deeply, finding himself a little ridiculous. He had said "girlfriend." What did he expect her to say?
She was just a little kid!
But the way she ran off so quickly still made him feel a pang of hurt.
Never mind, he had nothing else to do today. He decided to go to class.
Mianmian ran back to her classroom once inside the campus. Upon entering, Qian Xiaoguo nervously handed her a note, asking where she had been.
As Yun Buji passed by the junior high classroom, he saw the little girl listening intently to the lecture. She was truly trying hard at school.

After resolving the car accident issue, Jiang Mi drove to the hospital. When she arrived, she first saw Jin Lan and some police officers. Jiang Mi frowned and walked over. "Jin Lan, what happened?"
"The person is dead. They couldn't save them. The police are here to understand the situation and prepare to catch the culprit," Jin Lan explained.
Jiang Mi's face instantly turned ashen. Dead... Dead? Jiang Jingxiu was actually dead?
"Please tell me the specific details," a police officer said sternly.
"Jingxiu is in room 1203," Jin Lan said, then hurried away with the police.
