Wife, please behave yourself.

Chapter 56 Tempting
"She's already apologized, what more do you want?"

With her arm raised to protect Chi Jinhe, who was holding a lunchbox beside her, Shen Ruzhi stared warily at the man in front of her.

As the class monitor of Class 4, Grade 8, she immediately recognized the other person.

It's Li Yan from Class 3.

Because the class monitors from different classes would occasionally meet in the office, they gradually became familiar with each other. It was then that Shen Ruzhi heard the complaints from the class monitor of Class 3.

It's said that there's a particularly annoying boy in the class who not only makes lewd jokes but also openly disrupts class.

The teachers didn't seem to like him very much, so they simply placed that group of people at the back of the classroom.

I had just left the classroom with Zhou Yuan and was on my way to the cafeteria.

Shen Ruzhi then spotted the girl surrounded by several people.

She had some impression of Chi Jinhe, after all, the other party had asked her to help call Liu Songyan, a classmate, out before.

Even if a stranger is treated unfairly, the kind-hearted Shen Ruzhi will step forward to help.

Moreover, this was someone like Chi Jinhe, whom they had only met once.

She had already learned the general outline of what had happened from the terrified Chi Jinhe.

Chi Jinhe, who was carrying pickled vegetables in a lunchbox, accidentally bumped into the other person.

The spilled pickled vegetables rubbed against the other person's shoes, leaving a very noticeable stain on the white shoes.

Then Li Yan became unhappy.

He insisted that Chi Jinhe compensate him with a new pair of shoes.

Li Yan's family is well-off; otherwise, he wouldn't still be able to attend school normally after being penalized a few times.

In Shen Ruzhi's opinion, the stain was just something that needed to be wiped clean.

Even if you can't wipe it clean, you can brush it clean.

He shouldn't have to ask someone to buy him a new pair of shoes.

The protagonist of this incident immediately showed a disdainful expression after hearing Shen Ruzhi's remarks.

He stretched out his right foot, which was stained with pickled vegetables, and waved it to indicate something.

Do you think these shoes are still wearable?

"Just wipe it off."

"Then you wipe it for me."

Li Yan, his right foot swaying, stepped back onto the ground, his hands in his pockets, and looked at Shen Ruzhi in front of him.

His gaze fell on Chi Jinhe, who was already terrified.

"If you clean it properly, I can let this matter go."

"That's what you said!"

She hurriedly responded, and upon hearing the other person's voice, Shen Ruzhi took out a small pack of tissues from her pocket.

He pulled out two sheets, stacked them side by side, and bent down to squat.

However, just as the hand holding the paper was about to touch the shoe, the right foot, which was originally on the ground, was quickly pulled back.

"..."

What are you moving?

Did I say I wanted to wipe it with paper?

With a mocking smile, Li Yan looked at Shen Ruzhi in front of him.

He sized up the other person's angry face.

"Use your clothes to wipe it."

He pointed to her summer school uniform.

"You wanted to stand up for her, so use your school uniform to wipe it."

"..."

Clenching her teeth, Shen Ruzhi glared angrily at the other person.

Although she had already learned about some of Li Yan's shameless deeds beforehand, she never expected that he could be so shameless.

The hand gripping the tissue tightened even more, and the body that was about to bend over suddenly straightened up.

"Li Yan, don't go too far!"

"Don't want to clean it? Then make her buy me a new pair."

Following the direction Li Yan pointed, Shen Ruzhi saw Chi Jinhe, who was pale-faced, behind her.

Her face was completely bloodless; she was clutching the overturned lunchbox tightly.

Seeing this, Shen Ruzhi was furious.

The hand gripping the tissue tightened even more.

Looking at the crowd in front of him, who followed Li Yan's laughter with forced smiles.

A series of piercing laughs, like demonic sounds, continuously entered her ears.

"you!"

The forward momentum was forced to stop.

Shen Ruzhi felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on her shoulder. As the hand on her shoulder pushed her backward, her body felt weightless and she involuntarily moved backward.

She staggered two steps, but fortunately, Chi Jinhe behind her blocked her way.

Before Shen Ruzhi could react, her hand, which was clutching the tissue, suddenly went limp.

Looking up, they saw a familiar figure striding towards Li Yan and the others.

He squatted down and vigorously wiped the area with a tissue.

The clean white shoe surface didn't have much dirt on it to begin with.

Although some residue remains after wiping, it's no longer noticeable unless you look closely.

Liu Songyan, who had been squatting down, stood up and crumpled the tissue in his hand into a ball.

His height advantage made him a head taller than Li Yan in front of him.

Looking down at the other party.

"Any more questions?"

The group of people who had been laughing just moments before suddenly fell silent.

Upon seeing the striking hairstyle of the newcomer, hushed discussions soon broke out.

"Liu Songyan? What brings him here?"

"Don't look at him, don't make eye contact with him!"

"Oh no, we're doomed."

"..."

Hearing the discussion behind him, Li Yan, who had instinctively stepped back due to Liu Songyan's sudden appearance, turned ashen-faced.

Faced with the sudden appearance of Liu Songyan, he, who had just been arrogant and domineering, suddenly felt fear.

Realizing what had happened, she forced herself to remain calm and glared at the other person.

Several seconds later, Li Yan finally spoke.

"Liu Songyan... what's it to you?!"

"Have you forgotten what I said last time?"

Clench your fist and extend only your thumb, then raise your hand backward.

"Chi Jinhe, I've got your back."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Li Yan's already unpleasant expression became even more distorted.

He certainly remembered what the other party had said, but he never expected that Liu Songyan would actually do it.

"The shoes have been cleaned. If you still have any complaints, you can talk to the teacher, or... talk to me."

Liu Songyan's voice was very calm.

But these words, when they reached Li Yan's ears, gave him a chilling feeling.

When he first enrolled, he had personally witnessed the other party's rise to fame in a single battle.

It could be said that Li Yan was a so-called eyewitness. At this moment, looking at Liu Songyan in front of him, Li Yan's gaze involuntarily drifted behind him.

He didn't know when, but the few people who had just gathered behind him had already retreated several meters, leaving him alone to face them.

His hands, which had been in his pockets, were now out, and he glared hatefully at the person in front of him, his fists clenched.

Looking at Liu Songyan, and at the way his face was covered by his strange hairstyle.

"You wait for me!"

He gritted his teeth and left behind this harsh statement.

After saying that, Li Yan turned around and walked towards the few people who had hidden away behind him.

Watching the group of people being surrounded and leaving the place.

Only after he had completely disappeared from sight did Liu Songyan turn his gaze away.

He then turned to look behind him.

Shen Ruzhi was stunned and stood there.

With her mouth slightly agape, she stared in disbelief at the boy walking towards her.

Before she could speak, the other person bypassed her and went straight to Chi Jinhe.

Shen Ruzhi followed the gaze and looked at the two people beside her.

Liu Songyan's gentle voice reached my ears.

"Is everything okay?"

"No, it's okay..."

Chi Jinhe responded tremblingly, the conflict just now had completely terrified her, who was already rather timid.

Upon hearing the question, his lowered face slowly lifted.

What came into Liu Songyan's view was that bloodless face.

"What do we do...it's all spilled..."

As she slowly loosened her grip on the lunchbox, Chi Jinhe suddenly felt an urge to cry.

This weekend, after returning home, she shared the new friends she had made with her grandmother who had raised her.

A kind grandmother may not care about other things, but she cares deeply about her own granddaughter.

That's why I specially prepared pickled vegetables, intending to bring them to my new friends to taste in person.

Perhaps out of gratitude, Chi Jinhe originally planned to bring pickled vegetables to the bookstore at noon.

However, on the way, Li Yan deliberately bumped into him and knocked over the lunchbox he was carrying.

Looking at the pickled vegetables scattered on the ground, and the meager amount left in the lunchbox.

The sounds of her breathing grew louder and louder; Chi Jinhe was already at her wit's end.

She just wanted to be honest and law-abiding, so why did she always encounter these kinds of things?

If it weren't for the class monitor from the next class stepping in.

If it weren't for Liu Songyan's appearance...

"My grandma prepared this especially for me... saying I should thank you properly..."

Holding the lunchbox in my hands, most of the pickled vegetables inside had spilled out.

Only a tiny bit remains.

"I'm so useless..."

Wiping her wound with her raised arm, Chi Jinhe's voice began to choke.

Liu Songyan, who was standing in front of her, just watched quietly as the girl in front of him was trying her best to endure.

Looking at the meager amount of pickled vegetables.

Reach out.

Take a small pinch.

"..."

"It tastes pretty good, it should go well with rice."

Looking at Chi Jinhe's wide eyes, he observed the tears welling up in her eyes.

Swallowing the pickled vegetables in his mouth, Liu Songyan smiled and looked at the other person.

"Let's go, let my dad have a taste too."

"There's only this much left..."

"Then bring some more next time. This time, it's just that we didn't get to enjoy it."

Liu Songyan waved and turned around, gesturing for the other person to follow.

Looking at Chi Jinhe, who was still standing there in a daze.

"Hurry up, we've already wasted too much time."

The stunned girl came to her senses.

He hurriedly took a step, just about to catch up with the boy in front of him.

Suddenly remembering something, he turned around again and thanked Shen Ruzhi, who was still standing there.

Then, he hurriedly took small steps to catch up with the figure that had already walked away.

The two walked further and further away until they disappeared from Shen Ruzhi's sight.

My arm was being pulled.

The class monitor, who had been hiding to the side, only dared to show up at this moment.

Following the direction Shen Ruzhi was looking, Zhou Yuan also gazed into the distance for a while.

Having witnessed the entire process, she seemed to sigh in amazement.

"He was actually quite handsome just now..."

As a serious novel enthusiast, Zhou Yuan from Class 4, Grade 8, loves novels about love and romance the most.

Faced with adversity, the protagonist makes a dazzling appearance.

This perfectly matches Liu Songyan's behavior just now.

Even now, she still gazes into the distance, even though that figure has long since disappeared from her sight.

"Although I can't see the whole face, I think I can already imagine it."

"..."

"Zhizhi, do you think Liu Songyan... could he be a really handsome guy?"

"..."

"Just like in the novel, they deliberately covered their faces for some reason."

"..."

"Oh dear, I'm starting to get a little curious about him."

Looking at her friend talking to herself beside her, Shen Ruzhi simply stared at her in silence.

A face popped into my mind.

Thinking of the scenes I had witnessed with my own eyes...

"Let's go eat. I don't know if there's any food left in the cafeteria."

Zhou Yuan's voice pulled Shen Ruzhi back to reality.

With her arm linked with his, she was half-forced to follow him toward the cafeteria.

She, who had remained silent from the very beginning, slowly turned her face to the side.

Looking in the direction where Liu Songyan and Chi Jinhe had left not long ago.

They were nowhere to be found in sight at that moment.

But she... seems to be able to see it.
