This person definitely couldn't be a student, Chi Li concluded in her heart.

He stood out in the team, silent and looking very weak, in stark contrast to the two young, cheerful and talkative boys in front and behind him.

The most important thing was that look of ugliness on his face, as if it was engraved deep in his soul, sucking away his yang energy.

Chi Li thought of herself in real life, and sympathy welled up in her heart. Poor office worker.

Bai Zhenxi skillfully fried the rice and poured it into a disposable lunch box.

Chi Li covered the lunch box, put the fried rice and disposable chopsticks and spoon into a plastic bag, handed it to the man, and gave him a concerned smile.

Poor office worker, his soul is about to ascend to heaven.

"Thank you." He took the fried rice and lowered his head to avoid Chi Li's gaze.

Watching the man leave with unsteady steps, Chi Li felt strange, but didn't take it to heart, so she lowered her head and got back to work.

Twenty minutes later, a painful howl was heard from under a large, withered tree not far from the school.

Passersby gathered around him, some were there to watch the fun, and some kind-hearted people asked him what was wrong out of concern.

The students who were queuing up to buy fried rice were curious and ignored their hunger and gathered around to see what was happening.

The team dispersed, and Baizhenxi and Chili were free.

"Let's go and take a look too." Chi Li took Bai Zhenxi's hand and walked into the crowd.

"There's something wrong with the fried rice? Really? I've already eaten it. I'm not going to die, am I?"

"I also ate."

"Oh my god, luckily I haven't bought it yet."

The discussions among the crowd were filled with fear and anxiety.

Chi Li and Bai Zhenxi looked at each other and found that there was no panic or confusion in each other's eyes.

Both of them knew in their hearts that it must have been done by someone secretly behind the scenes.

Bai Zhenxi was even excited. He had finally waited for it, and he must catch him this time.

Chi Li walked into the circle of people and saw that the man rolling on the ground was the office worker with a classy face.

Okay, I sympathize with you, but you're playing tricks on me. Chi Li suddenly felt that she had made a mistake.

She was so angry that her face turned red and she shouted, "This is impossible. My boyfriend buys all the ingredients every morning. They are absolutely fresh."

Bai Zhenxi also stepped forward, frowning and about to speak, but was stopped by Chi Li.

She shook her head, a smile playing on her lips, and pointed to her colorful hair.

Chi Li once said that this appearance could make men obey her. Bai Zhenxi thought she was bragging at the time, but now seeing her confident look, he chose to believe her and kept his mouth shut.

Chi Li squatted down, and her colorful long curly hair fell to the ground. Bai Zhenxi behind her hurried forward, pulled her hair up and brushed off the dust.

Her pink pupils were turning red. She looked at the man lying on the ground with a painful expression and asked coldly, "Who are you? Who asked you to harm us?"

The man who was still rolling on the ground, met Chi Li's eyes and gradually couldn't take his eyes away. He seemed to have lost his soul and said stupidly: "I am Chen Gun. Miss He asked me to come here. She said that she would give me a large sum of money after the matter was completed, and even if I was put in jail, she would be able to get me back..."

Miss He? Apart from He Nuoran, Chi Li didn't know anyone else with the surname He.

Chen Gun was still talking, all this nonsense like "forgive me", "I didn't mean it", "the other party gave too much", etc.

Chi Li didn't listen anymore and looked at Bai Zhenxi.

The doubt in Bai Zhenxi's eyes was not fake. He really couldn't understand. His family's business did not conflict with the He family, and he himself was not familiar with her. What was He Nuoran's motive for doing this?

Bai Zhenxi didn't understand He Nuoran's motives, but Chi Li knew it well.

This was really not a good place to talk, so after calling the police, Chi Li and Bai Zhenxi packed up their stall and went home.

The two of them were both preoccupied with their own thoughts and didn't speak a word along the way.

After arriving home, Bai Zhenxi went to the kitchen to cook some rice for Chi Li before she began to talk about what had just happened.

"How could it be He Nuoran? This..." he asked in confusion.

"Don't you want to eat?" Chi Li said while eating.

Bai Zhenxi shook his head and said, "I don't have much of an appetite."

"I know the reason, but this news is shocking, so you should be prepared." Chi Li said seriously.

Bai Zhenxi's thoughts wandered. He thought about the weird novels that Chi Li read at night. Could it be that he was not actually his parents' biological son, just like in the novels?

His expression gradually turned ugly. Could it be that he was actually a child of the He family who was stranded outside, and He Nuoran was afraid that he would fight for the family property so he attacked his family?

No, he thought of his father's face which was extremely similar to his own and dismissed the idea.

Bai Zhenxi felt that he had become less intelligent after spending so long with Chi Li.

"What are you thinking about?" Chi Li asked curiously as she saw his expression change from confusion to shock and then to calmness.

Bai Zhenxi certainly refused to tell Chi Li what he was thinking, as this guy would definitely laugh at him.

"It's okay, I'm ready. Please tell me, wise and brave Lord Chi Li!" Bai Zhenxi changed the subject and coaxed.

Hearing his words, Chi Li straightened her back proudly, feeling very happy.

"Jiang Yun likes you." Chi Li felt a little embarrassed for him and even spoke in a low voice.

Bai Zhenxi didn't hear the last few words clearly. He leaned forward and asked, "Jiang Yun, what?"

Chi Li ate another spoonful of fried rice, then said loudly and quickly, "Jiang Yun likes you."

The world was quiet, the air seemed frozen, and only the ticking of the old clock on the wall remained.

After waiting for a while, Bai Zhenxi sat there motionless and silent.

Chi Li broke the silence and whispered, "Are you okay? I hope you're not so ashamed that you want to crawl into the ground."

Bai Zhenxi was stunned. He subconsciously thought that Jiang Yun must like him as a friend, but Chi Li's tone clearly showed that this was not the case.

"No way, this is impossible." He said in disbelief.

"How could I lie to you? Just wait and see the evidence I found." Chi Li picked up the mobile phone on the table and looked through the photo album.

After finding the photos taken in Jiang Yun’s bedroom that day, she handed the phone to the surprised Bai Zhenxi.

Bai Zhenxi took it and looked at the photo. After seeing what it was, his face turned red.

"I took the photo in Jiang Yun's room. I haven't figured out how to tell you about it. I didn't expect that I would have the chance to tell you so soon." Chi Li said.

"By the way, there's another photo at the back. I took a picture of his bookshelf. Look at the names of those novels." Chi Li added.

Bai Zhenxi found it difficult to describe his mood at the moment. He was like a frozen stone statue, his body extremely stiff as he placed his phone upside down on the table.

"Are you okay?" Chi Li asked cautiously, afraid of upsetting Bai Zhenxi.

Bai Zhenxi let out an awkward smile, a smile uglier than crying, and her voice became halting: "This...this...is...too...ridiculous."

He thought of the text message Jiang Yun sent him this morning, saying thank you for his comfort and wanting to eat fried rice.

Bai Zhenxi treated him as her younger brother at that time and responded very positively: Come to me anytime if you want to eat.

I regret it. I shouldn't have replied.
