Chapter 22 Charming Little Milk Candy is Actually Green Tea Flavored (22)

At midnight, the temperature is so warm that the forehead is full of fine sweat. The knotted branches stood outside the window, and the view was covered by translucent window curtains. This scene reminded one of the ghosts for no reason.Original translations are posted on puretl(.)com —Do not re post, do not steal.

"Hoo..." The half-clad teenager sat on the bed bored. His rapid breathing rose and fell, and his body exuded a vigorous heat that seemed to warm the entire room.

In the space so quiet that he could only hear his repressed and dull gasps, the only thing that lit up was the screen of the phone he held tightly in his hand.

The wallpaper picture on the high-definition big screen is of a beautiful and delicate girl wearing a blue ancient dress.

She clung to the gauze fan, covering the lower half of her face, her elk-like apricot eyes curiously looking at the camera.

This is the picture taken by the head teacher, it is a group photo sent by the class after the opening ceremony.

There are many photos of that day in Pei Jingshuo's album, and almost every one of them has her.

"To actually have such a strange dream... Hehe..." His fingers brushed the eyes of the girl on the screen, and the color of her eyes was dark and deep.

He had just woken up from the dream, and he only remembered the last long and meaningful scene -

In the dark blue tide, the teenager was wrapped in the current and was slowly sinking.

Oxygen seemed to be getting thinner and thinner, and even breathing became extremely difficult.

Until a plain white, soft hand covered his face.

That touch was extremely tender as if it was pitying him who was drowning, trying to scoop him up from the sea.

But he couldn't grasp it, the fingers that were so close were like phantoms, and they shattered when touched.

Soon, his body kept falling, and the distance from the hand was getting farther and farther...

Finally, at the last moment, he opened his eyes.

Sweat oozes from his back and forehead, with a beating heart, telling him the absurdity and nothingness of his dreams.

Pei Jingshuo, who slowly calmed his breath, swiped his finger on the screen to open the chat interface.Original translations are posted on puretl(.)com —Do not re post, do not steal.

Ruan Xiaoan's profile pic is a pink rabbit with soft cheeks, just like herself.

And her final reply to him was very simple and cunning——

[Make an appointment, Pei Jingshuo. Next test if you can get into the top 100, I will reapply to the teacher to sit back.]

Pei Jingshuo guessed that she must feel that he, a "poor student" with the lowest grades, for him it is impossible to counterattack.

He is being completely looked down upon!

The boy lay on the bed, holding his mobile phone, his eyes reflecting bright light like the pupils of beasts in the dark night.

An unprecedented will was born from his head.

The slightly hot body is eager to prove something...or change something.

A few days later.

Bi Ming, who had returned to the classroom with her homework book in her arms, glanced at the back from a distance and curled her lips slightly.

In the last row of seats, the handsome young man crossed his legs, held a textbook, and frowned, as if he was thinking about something.

This scene has been happening for several days.

Pei Jingshuo's change shocked many people.

For example, Mother Pei, when she heard that her son wanted to ask for a tutor, she covered her mouth for a long time before she recovered.

There is also Ran Le, who found that his friends have been pushing off school gatherings recently, showing a 'bad example' that he wants to change his habits and be a new person.

"Brother Shuo, if it goes on like this, people's hearts will be lost!" He pulled his friend in pain, wishing he could wake up his head, "Those lads are going to be turned upside down!"

"Don't use idioms." Pei Jingshuo raised his eyes coldly and looked at Ran Le who had a  look of grief and indignation, "If they're going to turn the sky over, they can turn it over. Don't harass this great Lao Tzu's* reading first."

Tl note: Lao Tzu is a Chinese philosopher.　　

Ran Le looked at him with horror and despair.

Brother Shuo wants to be good, who can stop him? 　　

The team leader in charge of collecting the homework couldn't help but snarl at the people around him: "I'm going, can you give me your books fast? Even Pei Jingshuo is doing his work!"

But in the past few days, Pei Jingshuo's performance was so good that some teachers of the department couldn't adapt. After all, he used to be a nail-biter who slept directly on the table or skipped classes.

Pei Jingshuo's huge change suddenly became a hot topic in the class, and everyone was discussing in private the reasons for the big change in the school tyrant's personality.

Only Yin Han could see clearly, this is exactly the same scene that Pei Jingshuo and Ruan Xiaoan caused. He gradually changed after falling in love in her previous life.

Are the two of them already together?

Yin Han frowned, after all, many things were completely different from her previous life.

This week, she originally wanted to insist on sitting next to Pei Jingshuo, even if she was scolded by him.

However, the head teacher went out and warned her that she would notify her parents if she did so.

"Who allowed you to change your seat privately?" The head teacher no longer showed her mercy this time. "Are you not ready to listen to what the teacher has to say?"

Yin Han felt resentful. Before Pei Jingshuo forced Tang Bei to change positions, the teacher didn't care. 

Ruan Xiaoan ran to the first row, why don't you care?

But no matter how uncomfortable she was, she didn't dare to openly confront the head teacher in front of the whole class, especially when the other party was going to contact her parents.

When the class was over, Yin Han also heard her best friend whispering in her ear:

"Hanhan, don't make such a fuss, now the whole class is watching your jokes." 

On the other side, the girl who was holding her cheeks happily writing questions was also communicating with her system.

[Host, will you really want to sit back then?]

"If the male protagonist really did it, why not?" Bi Ming tilted her head and replied in her mind.

[Then what is the host going to do with Yin Han?]

Bi Ming's mood sank for a moment: "Z01, Ruan Xiaoan's request at that time was to take revenge on the person who spread the rumor that she was a 'green tea', right?"Original translations are posted on puretl(.)com —Do not re post, do not steal.　　

[Yes.]

"That's enough, my existence is punishment for Yin Han. There are also those girls who spread rumors. They dealt with me because of competition between academics and class status." Bi Ming smiled, "They are most afraid of what if I will continue to occupy the first place."

She knew very well that the best blow to Yin Han was to watch Pei Jingshuo fall to Ruan Xiaoan again.

As for the other "accomplices", the more they are afraid that Ruan Xiaoan will replace them as the class's new 'good student' benchmark, the more Bi Ming will make it a reality.

Yin Han will have to pay back all the grievances Ruan Xiaoan received during her high school years due to rumors and a bad reputation.

[Will the male lead really make it?]The system is a little worried, it thinks that the host will overestimate Pei Jingshuo's ability.

After all, the grades can't be improved in a short time, and the next mid-term exam is only two months away. Even a learning expert can't jump from the end of the grade to the top 100, right?

Bi Ming sighed lightly and narrowed his eyes lazily: "Don't worry, Pei Jingshuo's brain is very smart."

In the plot of the original book, Ruan Xiaoan gave him tutoring in his third year of high school, and let him climb all the way from the tail of the crane to the heavy line. In the end, the two went to the same city to study together.

Pei Jingshuo's IQ is definitely not low, if the time of the first and second year of high school was not wasted by fighting and fooling around, he would have got great results.

It was because Bi Ming understood this that she deliberately left him a small test goal -

She had to hang a carrot on top of people's heads so that people could contribute.

During the breaks between classes, the head teacher left a few good students in the office to fill out forms.

"The school conducts mathematics, physics, chemistry, and information technology competitions every year, but you must pass the test first."

"You guys fill in the areas you are interested in. After school today, go to the Wenhua Building for a meeting."

Bi Ming and other students naturally would not refuse this opportunity and took the form to select the competition subjects they wanted to choose.

"Xiao'an, what did you choose?" The monitor came over and glanced, "Wow, just like me!"

Bi Ming chose mathematics, which she was good at.

There were also a few girls like Lin Siqi, who also signed up for the math competition class.

"Why did you choose mathematics?" The head teacher smiled bitterly. "In information technology, our school has a higher rate of winning. You should decide carefully."

However, no one was willing to change.

After school was over, a few people rushed to the Wenhua Building next to the teaching building. There were already many students gathered at the entrance of the amphitheater on the second floor, all of whom were top students.

Bi Ming had already guessed that the elimination rate of this kind of competition class was quite astonishing, and now it looks like that.

By the time the test paper was finished, the sky had completely dimmed, and the night lights on the school road were all lit up.

"Xiao'an, do you think today's test paper is difficult?" After leaving the teaching building, the monitor pushed his glasses and turned to look at Bi Ming.

"It was alright," Bi Ming said seriously, "The topics were not very biased." 

The two walked to the school gate, just as they were about to part, Bi Ming heard a small gasp from the monitor——

"Wow, why is he here? ?"

Bi Ming looked along, and sure enough, she saw a tall boy leaning against the wall with a bag at the door, looking at her with his lips raised.

Under the streetlamp, every inch of his profile was clean and stern, and the curvature of his eyes and lips had a different kind of charm.

"Ruan Xiaoan."

His mouth was undoubtedly calling for her.

Bi Ming sighed in her heart. It has been more than two hours since school was dismissed. Shouldn't he have gone back home instead of waiting here?

"I'll go first, I won't disturb you..." The monitor patted Bi Ming with a smile, then got on his bicycle and left quickly.

At the empty school gate, only a girl with a blushing face and a boy walking towards her lazily were left.

"You... why didn't you leave?" The girl's voice was soft, with a bit of embarrassment.

"There's no way I can leave." Pei Jingshuo stood in front of her, leaned slightly, put his head close to her ear, and said slowly, "I've been doing so well these days - I have to find someone to reward me"
