Quick Transmigration: The Villain Always Ends Up with the Male Lead

Chapter 20 The Rumors of That School Bully (5)

Before we knew it, the bell rang for the end of the last class. The school rules state that day students can leave school to go home, while boarding students can go for a walk outside the school, but they must return to school before evening self-study.

Tragically, his "academic underachiever" persona didn't allow him to stay at school at this point. But Ye Jiaojiao stayed behind every night to study, which led to a significant improvement in her relationship with Jiang Zhiyi over the course of the week.

Jiang Zhiyi, who sat at the table in front of him, quickly tidied up and prepared to go eat.

Shi Qi, who was behind him, suddenly had a flash of inspiration and tapped him on the back: "Want to eat? Let's go off-campus, it's on me."

Jiang Zhiyi politely declined, saying, "No need, I'll eat at the cafeteria." He didn't understand why Shi Qi wanted to treat him to a meal. Generally speaking, if someone is being overly solicitous, there must be ulterior motives, so he refused without hesitation.

Shi Qi, of course, wouldn't let things end there: "Isn't this to thank you for explaining the problem to me? Besides, I might have to bother you again until the swimming lesson is over."

"No, helping a classmate with a problem is no big deal." He said, getting up.

Shi Qi grabbed the hem of his school uniform: "You don't understand the world of us academic underachievers. People like us have to hide our studies if we want to, or we'll be laughed at if others find out. You don't know how much you've helped me, so I definitely have to treat you to this meal."

Seeing Shi Qi's sincere expression, Jiang Zhiyi began to believe that this small matter was really important to him.

007's eyes nearly popped out of his head: "How could you say something like that? You've even abandoned your original persona?"

Shi Qi: "Shut up..."

Jiang Zhiyi: "How about next time?"

"Don't do it next time, I happen to be free today." In the end, Jiang Zhiyu couldn't persuade Shi Qi otherwise.

"What do you want to eat?"

"You decide. I've never eaten out before."

The original owner remembered a few good restaurants, but they were a bit far away and too expensive, so he was afraid Jiang Zhiyi wouldn't accept them.

In the end, Shi Qi had the driver take them to a nearby private restaurant. Although the original owner had never been there before, a restaurant near a prestigious school couldn't be too bad.

Indeed, the restaurant was clean and nicely decorated, and the two chose a seat by the window.

There weren't many customers in the restaurant; almost all of them were from their school.

Seeing the two of them come in together and sit at the same table, they began to whisper among themselves. It was obvious they weren't saying anything nice.

When the waiter came over to take our order, Shi Qi handed the menu to Jiang Zhiyi.

Jiang Zhiyi took the menu, quickly checked the boxes, and then handed it to Shi Qi.

Shi Qi glanced at the menu and noticed that Jiang Zhiyi had only ordered a bowl of noodles and two sweet dishes. He asked the waiter, "How many people are served here?"

After learning that it was for one person, he ordered a few more dishes than he could eat, since he couldn't be stingy when treating someone to a meal.

"You like sweets?"

Jiang Zhiyi lied without thinking: "It's alright." He didn't understand why he had ordered two desserts.

So, the final scenario was this: one person who didn't like spicy food was served spicy chicken, Mapo tofu, and two other dishes that both of them could eat; the other person who didn't like sweet food was served sweet and sour pork with pineapple and sweet and sour spare ribs...

So here's the problem: what if Jiang Zhiyi and Gu Yu are different, and Jiang Zhiyi really has a sweet tooth? Even if their tastes are the same, how can they switch the dishes?

Immediately afterwards, this scene unfolded at the dining table... Shi Qi was shoveling food into his fried rice, while Jiang Zhiyi was slurping noodles. Although they had different thoughts, neither of them touched the food in front of them.

Shi Qi felt he had an opportunity, so he fully displayed the excellent qualities of a school bully:

"I suddenly remembered that I've been feeling hot lately and can't eat spicy food. How about we switch your dishes?"

Jiang Zhiyi was more than happy to agree, but he still feigned helplessness and said, "Alright."

'Jiang Zhiyi's favorability +5'

007 muttered from the sidelines, "The acting is really good. The lead... no wonder he's the protagonist." His tone revealed a hint of disdain and panic.

Shi Qi asked, puzzled, "Why are you panicking?"

“Something happened in the Main God Space, and it affected me a bit, but it’s not a big deal. Someone will handle it.” 007 breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, they gave him an extra dish, and after that, the atmosphere at the table improved a lot.

Watching Shi Qi eat with such focused attention despite his expressionless face, Jiang Zhiyi noticed that this person seemed indifferent to spicy food but had a strong liking for sweets. But if that was the case, why did he order spicy food? And why did it happen to be something Jiang Zhiyi liked?

Could it be that Shi Qi is secretly watching him? But if that's the case, what's his motive? Is it for Ye Jiaojiao?

A few days ago, Jiang Zhiyi heard people talking about how Shi Qi and Ye Jiaojiao grew up together and that they might get married in the future.

Thinking about this, Jiang Zhiyi felt inexplicably irritable, just as he had felt when he first heard the gossip.

'Fate Value -4'

Shi Qi had no idea what Jiang Zhiyi was imagining again; the destiny value in this world always deducted suddenly and inexplicably.

"You seem to really like spicy food."

Jiang Zhiyi said in a nonchalant tone, "It's alright, I'm not a picky eater."

Shi Qi thought to herself: "Then why didn't you touch the food in front of you at all?"

Of course, in order not to kill the conversation, the emotionally intelligent Brother Shi did not intend to expose his little lie.

Actually, after saying that, Jiang Zhiyi realized the flaw in his words, but seeing that Shi Qi didn't seem to have grasped it, he breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, this guy wasn't very bright…

Thankfully, Shi Qi didn't have mind-reading abilities. If he had heard this, he would have smashed the bowl over Jiang Zhiyi's head and told him, "I'm not calling you out on this because I'm giving you face, understand?"

After finishing their meal, Shi Qi paid the bill, which came to a little over 600 yuan for the two of them. This was nothing to Shi Qi, but for Jiang Zhiyi, it was equivalent to half a month's living expenses.

Shi Qi was well aware of this, so he took out his phone in front of him: "Can we exchange contact information? If you've eaten my meal, I won't be so polite if you have any problems in the future."

Although the amount of over 600 was somewhat heavy, Jiang Zhiyi still smiled knowingly upon hearing this. Was this how a mediocre student bribed people?

"Jiang Zhiyi's favorability +2"

Just as I was about to leave after adding her contact information, a girl wearing the same school uniform pushed open the door and walked in.

"Ye Jiaojiao? Isn't she at school?" Shi Qi asked 007.

007: "It might be the butterfly effect, or maybe there's a natural attraction between the male and female leads. After all, Jiang Zhiyi usually spends time with her around this time of year."

Ye Jiaojiao also spotted the very eye-catching green-haired guy and the handsome guy next to him at a glance.

She walked over, her expression innocent and friendly: "What are you all doing here?"
