It was a cool autumn midnight, and the atmosphere was quite pleasant walking with Ling Ziqian.

Dou Xiaorong became bolder; she didn't want to link arms with Ling Ziqian anymore, but wanted to hold his hand instead.

"It's so cold..." she said, making an excuse as she gently took Ling Ziqian's hand.

"Mmm." Ling Ziqian blushed slightly, but cooperated well, holding Dou Xiaorong's soft little hand.

Dou Xiaorong's hands weren't cold at all; on the contrary, they were warm, and her heart couldn't help but beat faster.

Step by step, we slowly walked back.

During the journey, Dou Xiaorong opened her mouth several times, as if she wanted to say something.

But when the words reached her lips, she lacked the courage.

Despite having such a good opportunity, the two eventually walked home quietly.

Standing at the entrance of the residential compound, Dou Xiaorong felt a little reluctant to part. "I won't go to school tomorrow either; I'll stay with you!"

Ling Ziqian smiled and nodded. He urgently needed "ambiguity points" and wanted to contact Dou Xiaorong to collect them.

Upon entering the cake shop, Yu Meiren and Cupid Sauce had already returned.

Upon seeing Ling Ziqian return, Yu Meiren reached out and tapped his head. "You idiot, you almost scared me to death! You actually fought with someone who had a knife. You could have just stayed inside and waited for the police to arrive. If you died, who would take care of me when I'm old?"

After rambling on for a while, Yu Meiren still helped Ling Ziqian divide the pills, poured him a glass of water, and watched him take the medicine before she felt at ease.

"The doctor said your wound shouldn't get wet. Would you like me to help you take a bath?" Yu Meiren said with a smile.

"..." Ling Ziqian's face darkened, knowing that this guy was teasing him.

"Hurry up and find a girlfriend, otherwise how can I help you with this kind of problem!" With that, Yu Meiren tapped Ling Ziqian on the head again.

"I can do it myself, I don't need your help."

"You brat, if you dare to do this again, I'll stuff you in the oven!"

"Uh-huh."

After sending Yu Meiren away, Cupid stood in front of Ling Ziqian with a grin, "Little brother, you worked hard today, didn't you? You must have gotten quite a few flirtatious encounters, right?"

“There is quite a lot, but I need it to help Shen Qiaoyan, so don’t take it away.” Ling Ziqian looked at Cupid Sauce warily.

"Just give me ten flirtations, and if you need my help, I can make you a million flirtations in one night!"

Ling Ziqian quickly shook his head vigorously. He didn't need that much ambiguity. Besides, Cupid's help was definitely unreliable!

Like before, a well-intentioned matchmaker ended up causing a thief to break into Su Mingxi's home and a fire to break out at the school.

After asking for ten points of ambiguity, Cupid-chan smiled and left.

I just held hands with Dou Xiaorong and collected four points of ambiguity. Now I have 54 points of ambiguity left.

As I entered the room, my phone vibrated.

Su Mingxi sent a text message; she hadn't been able to find an opportunity to speak with Ling Ziqian alone before.

Now I can only thank Ling Ziqian via text message.

Su Mingxi knew that Ling Ziqian's prank on the supermarket was largely to help her.

I owe him another favor, because he helped me punish my uncle and aunt severely!

Su Mingxi lay on the bed, staring blankly at her phone, unsure how to thank Ling Ziqian.

To others, Ling Ziqian seemed like a sleazy, repressed otaku, but once you got closer to him, you would find that although he was not good-looking, he was full of merits.

When I got home just now, my parents were downstairs dealing with merchandise.

Su Mingxi overheard their discussion, saying that after what happened, her uncle was able to foresee the consequences.

Continuing to operate that supermarket would definitely lead to losses and bankruptcy; they have already decided to transfer the supermarket out.

Ling Ziqian wanted to tell Su Mingxi what had happened, but then worried that she would find out that he had corrupted Cui Xue.

After exchanging text messages and chatting for a while, Shen Qiaoyan called.

Just as I was about to answer, the phone was abruptly hung up, and then I heard the sound of pebbles hitting the windowpane.

"No way," Ling Ziqian thought, somewhat speechless, and went to open the window.

Downstairs, Shen Qiaoyan was waving and smiling at him.

Helpless, Ling Ziqian had no choice but to go downstairs.

Upon seeing Ling Ziqian, Shen Qiaoyan was quite frightened. "Master, you're injured! Who is so powerful that they managed to hurt you? I'll go and beat them to a pulp!"

Ling Ziqian was speechless. He quickly explained and gestured for her to go home.

"You promised to exercise with me this morning, but I never expected something like this to happen tonight."

"It's nothing, anything can happen. I told you not to go out so late at night, but you just ignored me!"

Shen Qiaoyan smiled sheepishly, then turned and waved goodbye, saying, "I have some effective medicine for healing wounds at home; I'll bring it to you tomorrow!"

Before Ling Ziqian could answer, she ran away in a flash.

I was planning to flirt with Dou Xiaorong the next day, but to my surprise, not only did Shen Qiaoyan come, but Su Mingxi also came.

Cui Xue, carrying the bone broth that Cui Qiuzhen had cooked, also came over timidly.

As if sensing that Ling Ziqian harbored ill intentions towards Cui Xue, Yu Meiren, holding hands with Cupid Sauce in one hand and Cui Xue in the other, actually went shopping.

Dou Xiaorong, Su Mingxi, and Shen Qiaoyan huddled together, all too embarrassed to get close to Ling Ziqian.

He had no choice but to stay in the cake shop as usual, minding the shop, laughing and joking, and taking extra lessons.

Ling Ziqian could only pitifully finish the soup and then stay in his room playing games in frustration.

This continued for two days in a row.

On Monday, the injury on my arm was almost completely healed.

As usual, Ling Ziqian got up and went to school.

Dou Xiaorong was naturally waiting for him at the entrance of the residential area.

A white bus was parked at the entrance of Shilian Middle School.

Ling Ziqian and Dou Xiaorong were very puzzled, wondering what was going on with that car.

The answer was soon revealed. As soon as the two entered the classroom, Cui Qiuzhen appeared with a list in her hand.

"Students whose names are called, come forward." Cui Qiuzhen called out five names, including Dou Xiaorong and Su Mingxi. When she saw Ling Ziqian, she hesitated for a moment, then didn't call out Ling Ziqian's name, but just nodded slightly.

No one knew why their names were called, but they all obediently walked out...

Chapter 90 Get out of the way, are you trying to rebel?

As Ling Ziqian walked out of the classroom, he noticed that five students from Class 2 next door had also come out.

Cui Qiuzhen gestured for everyone to stand still and wait. She hurriedly went into the office, it was unclear what she was dealing with.

A moment later, ten students came down from upstairs; they were from the science class.

The science class was led by a middle-aged male teacher.

He glanced at it and found that there were 11 people in the liberal arts class.

Upon seeing Cui Qiuzhen come out of the office, he quickly reminded her, "Teacher Cui, Haitang Middle School only gave our school 20 places. Why did you bring an extra student?"

Cui Qiuzhen didn't mind. "It's not like we're going to a national conference. What's wrong with one more person? If there aren't enough seats, just stand next to me."

Upon hearing Cui Qiuzhen's words, the science class teacher was speechless.

Ling Ziqian knew he was the extra person, and he felt somewhat embarrassed.

"It's alright." Cui Qiuzhen smiled at Ling Ziqian. "It's a rare opportunity, go and broaden your horizons."

"Teacher, why are we going to Haitang Middle School?" Everyone was still wondering why they were gathered together, and one student couldn't help but ask.

The male teacher of the science class smiled and explained, "Haitang Middle School is having an exchange program with a prestigious school in an island nation. We were just there to sit in on the proceedings."

"Oh, I see," everyone suddenly realized.

Shilian Middle School is just an ordinary school, while Haitang Middle School, which shares the same name as Haitang City, is the city's top school.

Entering Haitang Middle School is practically like having one foot in the door of university.

Every year, countless students rack their brains to get into Haitang Middle School.

"Your grades are the best in the entire Shilian Middle School, but if you were to take the exam at Haitang Middle School..." The science teacher shook his head helplessly before he could finish his sentence.

Cui Qiuzhen frowned slightly. She didn't like discouraging her students like this. "Are you all ready? Let's go."

The twenty-three people walked together toward the school gate, where a bus was waiting for them.

On the short walk to the school gate, Ling Ziqian encountered some unfriendly glances, all from students in Class 2.

Ling Ziqian felt somewhat helpless. Xu Jiachen had been transferred schools for quite some time, yet there were still people who were hostile towards him.

Feeling like he was superfluous, Ling Ziqian kept a low profile and waited until all the other students had boarded the bus before getting on himself.

There were plenty of seats, and everyone sat with their close friends. Dou Xiaorong and Su Mingxi sat at the very back, waiting for Ling Ziqian.

As Ling Ziqian walked to the back, someone pretended to accidentally stick out their foot, trying to trip him.

He was an unremarkable-looking boy, but Ling Ziqian remembered him.

Although the science students knew Ling Ziqian, they were not clear about many things.

When they saw Ling Ziqian sitting down between two beautiful women, many people were astonished and their mouths dropped open.

The male teacher from the science class politely extended his hand, wanting to sit next to Cui Qiuzhen.

Unfortunately, Cui Qiuzhen rejected him and went to the very back to sit with Ling Ziqian and the others.

The male teacher was so frustrated, as if he had swallowed a fly, that he had no choice but to sit alone in front.

"Is your injury any better?" Cui Qiuzhen asked Ling Ziqian with concern. She had been busy with tutoring these past two days and hadn't had time to visit Ling Ziqian.

"He's almost recovered." Although his hand was still bandaged, Ling Ziqian smiled and shook his head. He was curious about He Daoqiang's situation. "Was He Daoqiang arrested?"

Cui Qiuzhen nodded seriously, "The person who was stabbed is still in critical condition. His family has sued He Daoqiang in court. Whether He Daoqiang did it intentionally or unintentionally, he will definitely spend his next life in prison."

Ling Ziqian laughed, "That's great, we don't have to worry about him causing trouble anymore."
