We ordinary people also need to fall in love.

After finishing our meal, we went straight to the debate club's activity room. There were three rounds of the first round, and the other two rounds were scheduled in other empty classrooms. The activity room was actually converted from a classroom.

Li Mubai walked in through the back door and sat down behind Xie Shu. The debaters' seats were in front of the activity room, and only one team had arrived at the moment.

"Li Mubai, is Lan Shiyu coming?" Chen Qiuhe leaned out and turned to look at him.

"They should come."

"Good afternoon, Xie Shu, Li Mubai, Chen Qiuhe." Lan Shiyu squeezed in through the back door, speaking as smoothly as reciting a menu. She naturally sat down in the double seat next to Xie Shu, with a little tail following behind her.

Hi.

Xu Yao silently greeted Li Mubai, who nodded slightly. Xie Shu glanced at him, then focused his attention back on the notebook in front of him.

There weren't many students watching the game. It seems like the first two games weren't promoted at all, except for the final, which was promoted a little.

The fact that students from three debate clubs served as judges raises serious questions about their competence.

As it approached six o'clock, the other team finally arrived...

"Okay, everyone, please be quiet for a moment. Let me introduce myself first. My name is He Lin, and I am the president of the debate club." The boy in the middle of the judges stood up.

"Our match today is between 'What I Said' team and 'Science Gods Team,' and the topic is 'Should high school students focus more on academic performance or comprehensive abilities?'"

Li Mubai looked at the Science God Team, which consisted of three men and one woman. One of them was Xing Yi, who also noticed him and unconsciously gritted her teeth.

After He Lin finished speaking briefly, he announced the start of the competition.

The Science Gods team believes that high school students should focus more on their academic performance, which is exactly the opposite of the argument that Li Mubai and his team made yesterday.

As the competition progressed, Li Mubai realized that everyone was just a makeshift team, and at this point, it all came down to who had the stronger language organization and logical thinking skills...

Beep beep!

"The competition is over. Please wait a moment while our judges calculate the average score."

……

"The team I mentioned achieved an average score of 80.1, while the Science Gods team achieved an average score of 83.4. Congratulations to the Science Gods team for successfully advancing to the semi-finals! The best debater is the third debater from the Science Gods team," He Lin announced loudly.

"Haha." The girl from the Science God Team smiled. She was the third debater, and it was worth the time she had been hoarse.

While Xing Yi turned around to congratulate him, Chao Jue glanced casually at the audience seats in the back row.

Xie Shu remained expressionless.

Li Mubai, haha, I hope we'll meet in the semifinals.

"How about it? If we were to play?" Xie Shu asked, turning to the side.

"It's alright, I'll take care of it." Lan Shiyu remained confident.

"Xing... the second debater from the Science Gods team seemed to have a question. I wrote it down in my notebook. Class monitor, take a look." Li Mubai automatically ignored Lan Shiyu.

Xie Shu took the notebook, and Chen Qiuhe, Lan Shiyu, and even Xu Yao curiously came over to look at it.

"Indeed, I noticed that detail too, but perhaps due to the tension of the competition, the team I mentioned didn't notice it." Xie Shu chuckled softly and handed the notebook back to Li Mubai.

"Not bad, not bad, you have the style I had back then," Lan Shiyu said.

"I also took some notes." Chen Qiuhe took out her notebook, the one she had snatched from Li Mubai last semester.

"Really durable," Li Mubai thought to himself. He had thought Chen Qiuhe had used it all up long ago while playing Go.

The results of the other two competitions have also been released. Since bringing mobile phones is not allowed on the surface, the question drawing was held offline.

Chen Qiuhe pulled a slip of paper out of the black box.

"How is it?" Li Mubai asked.

Xing Yi held his breath and eavesdropped quietly among the crowd.

"It means 'We should be content with what we have.'" Chen Qiuhe showed the note to Li Mubai and the others.

Ever since what happened last semester, Xing Yi has been unconsciously comparing himself to Li Mubai, and even looking forward to another event like the basketball game. Now the opportunity has come, hehehe.

He glanced at the note in his hand. "You've escaped again, Li Mubai. But we'll see you in the finals. I hope you don't fall in the semifinals."

The opposing view to "we should be content with what we have" is "we should not be content with what we have," and this is a debate team consisting of two men and two women.

I'm off; it's time to go back to the classroom for evening self-study.

"Hiss~" Sitting down in the classroom, Chen Qiuhe suddenly tapped her head lightly.

"What's wrong with you?" Li Mubai asked, wondering if he was sick. Xie Shu also looked over.

"It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered what I promised you last week."

What is it? Li Mubai wondered.

"What is it?" Xie Shu asked.

"That's right, that's right," Chen Qiuhe smiled mysteriously, "Li Mubai said that you seemed down last week, so he asked me to make some almond cookies over the weekend, but I forgot. I'm really sorry, Li Mubai."

"That's not true, class monitor," Li Mubai denied directly.

"No?" Xie Shu looked at him, she actually knew the answer.

Uh—Li Mubai was momentarily speechless.

"Li Mubai, stop pretending. If you have it, you have it; if you don't, you don't," Chen Qiuhe urged.

"Oh no! I almost missed it!" Wang Rui ran in through the back door and immediately sat back down in his seat.

Ring ring.

Thankfully, I had evening self-study time.

"Does it exist or not?" Chen Qiuhe handed over the notebook.

"Focus on your studies," Li Mubai said, choosing to brush it off.

……

Today it was their group's turn to clean. Deng Yi, as always, stood outside the classroom waiting for Xie Shu. Seeing Li Mubai returning with a dripping mop, she called out to him:

"That Li Mubai."

"Um?"

Looking around and seeing no other classmates, Deng Yi breathed a sigh of relief and solemnly said:

I'm sorry.

Ok? ? ?

What wrong did Deng Yi do that has anything to do with him? I'm a bit confused.

"It's nothing." He waved his hand, preparing to leave.

"Um... you found out?"

"I don't know," Li Mubai answered truthfully.

"Okay, thank you!"

Li Mubai returned to the classroom and continued mopping the floor. He didn't care what others did to him as long as it didn't affect him.

Everyone is an individual. We can't make everyone like us. What we can do is make sure that the people around us don't dislike us, and then we can do our own thing.

"Squad leader, I'm going to throw away the trash first," he said, carrying a black trash bag.

"Okay, goodbye."

"goodbye."

Autumn goes and spring comes, but the landfill remains a dark and gloomy place.

puff.

A bag of trash was thrown into the landfill, but someone else got there before him.

After throwing away the trash, the person turned around and walked towards him.

Li Mubai was nearsighted, and it was dark. Only when the person opposite him slowly approached with his head down did he realize who it was—Xing Yi.

He was wearing glasses and had already spotted Li Mubai.

Forget it, it's not the right time yet.

Xing Yi lowered his head, pretending not to notice Li Mubai, and passed by him.

puff.

Another bag of trash landed on the ground.
