Chapter 43: The Front Falls and the Rear Rises, Crouching in a Corner (Seeking Encouragement)

  Li Xiaobai ran very far before stopping and turning back to look.

  There, several figures had already faded away, and the only thing that could be confirmed was that Guo Jing and the others had not left just yet.

  This guy's resentment is a bit too terrifying, who was wrong in the first place?

  Indeed, if it's self-reflection, I'm not entirely blameless either, since my intention was to subtly imply that Guo Jing is a little dog. However, Guo Jing didn't catch on at first and unknowingly made fun of me, so teaching her a lesson is justified, and upholding justice is completely right.

  Thinking of this, I feel much more at ease in my heart.

  Tao Yuan...

  "Let me go first..." Tao Huan somewhat unhappily struggled free from Li Xiaobai's palm, "And, your phone is ringing..."

  I didn't set an alarm today, why is the phone ringing?

  Parents care about Tao Huan's phone, but shouldn't they call her directly?

  Apart from his parents and Tao Huan, Li Xiaobai really couldn't think of anyone else who knew his phone number.

  Almost forgot, Lin Nan also knows his phone number. However, they met yesterday and will meet again tonight, isn't the contact between teacher and student too much?

  Although he thought so, Li Xiaobai quickly took out his mobile phone.

  It's not that I'm afraid of anything, it's just that someone called and not answering for a long time wouldn't be too polite.

  However, it was unexpected that the phone book showed a strange number, and this number had a familiar look. I remembered that when I was in school, this number had appeared before?

  If it were someone else, they probably wouldn't have noticed this tiny clue because of the many phone numbers stored in their mobile. But he was different; his entire phone had only this one unfamiliar number.

  Li Xiaobai, don't underestimate yourself, apart from being a career consultant, you also have a talent for solving cases.

  "You are..." Hesitated for a moment, Li Xiaobai still picked up.

  Making two consecutive calls reduces the likelihood of a wrong number. Apart from those harassing advertisements, eight or nine out of ten are familiar people.

  "Li Xiaobai..."

  He hung up the phone without waiting for the other person to finish speaking.

  "How did she know my phone number? Did you tell Guo Jing?" Li Xiaobai said with some lingering fear.

  "Hey, what makes you suspect me?" Tao Huan was fed up and glared at him with wide eyes, "Believe it or not, I'll go back and tell Auntie!"

  "Can't you just take my word for it?" Li Xiaobai said somewhat irritably, "Tattling to parents is something only little kids do, isn't my cousin better than that?"

  "I'm willing." Tao Yuan directly blocked back.

  I'm willing, I'm happy, do you care? Get rid of these cultural dregs for me. Li Xiaobai is completely at a loss when it comes to girls' nonsense.

  Now I slightly understand Lin Nan's feelings, when encountering headache students, a sense of powerlessness really arises.

  Wait, it's better to eliminate negative emotions after all. At your age, you shouldn't be having such feelings yet.

  Think carefully, it really wasn't Tao Huan who told Guo Jing about it, because this number had appeared during school days.

  Memories slowly emerged, at that time he had just told Xiaoni about it, and then, during class, this number rang. Fortunately, it was set to silent mode earlier, otherwise, Guo Jing would have fallen forward, and he would have gone to the back of the classroom to stand in the corner.

  It turns out that Guo Jing had been thinking of directly retaliating against him, Li Xiaobai was slightly pleased with himself, indeed a lucky person has their own destiny, you want to frame me, it's not that easy.

  It's all trivial matters when thinking about past events, what's important is where did this guy get his phone number from?

  It doesn't matter anyway, since he didn't fall for it.

  Now that he knew the number was Guo Jing's, Li Xiaobai directly turned off his phone. Just as he felt a sense of calmness in the world, he saw Tao Huan answer a call, say two sentences, and then hand the phone over to him.

  Even if I throw my phone on the ground, no one will pick it up, but Tao Huan's phone will definitely be stolen.

  Looking at this exquisite fruit machine, Li Xiaobai wanted to correct the adults' wrong educational views.

  No matter how expensive a mobile phone is, it's not easy to lose in their hands, so boys should be raised richly.

  It's different for girls, they are less vigilant and often lose things, not to mention that their gentle appearance also makes them easy targets. In any case, it seems like girls have to be careful too.

  It's best if she's like Guo Jing, directly letting her wear tattered and worn-out clothes, see if she still dares to show off that shallow sense of superiority in front of me?

  "Li Xiaobai, now look where you're running?"

  It can't be that I misheard, but the number of girls I know seems to be countable on one hand, and it's not easy to make mistakes even if I want to, looks like there's no mistake.

  Li Xiaobai was quite impressed that Guo Jing could find him so quickly.

  Anyway, in the future, Guo Jing won't starve to death. At worst, he can open a lost and found service, it's hard for anyone to look down on him.

  Right, what's wrong with him, he's not some kind of drowning object?

  "Hey, is your IQ a problem or what? Of course I'm running home. They've all found their way to Tao Huan's place now, so Li Xiaobai can't just hang up on them either. Anyway, Tao Huan will still answer the other person's calls. And by the way, it's not 'running', it's 'walking'. Have you studied classical Chinese or not? Don't think about secretly belittling me."

  "You're still scolding me?" The girl's breathing came through the receiver, "If you have the guts, don't come to class tonight, otherwise, you'll be in trouble!"

  This guy can't even lure the enemy, Li Xiaobai doesn't know what to say anymore.

  If it were him, he would definitely make a clear statement and put the past behind him. You can rest assured to come to school, what happens after that is the school's business.

  The only thing that's not quite right is that this way of talking nonsense with one's eyes open is a bit similar to Mr. Junzi Jianyue, let it pass.

  Let me rewind it, he absolutely didn't think of the method just now.

  "What you said, I can record it with ease." Li Xiaobai said nonchalantly, "Don't forget, among the three of us, I'm the team leader. If you dare to cause trouble, I won't hesitate to swing the Big Stick of Oppression."

  "Li Xiaobai, why are you so annoying?" Guo Jing was getting anxious. "Anyway, since you scolded me, you must apologize to me."

  "How could I have scolded you? Actually, everyone can be replaced with a very vivid animal, and a puppy is more suitable for you."

  "If I were a little dog, then you would be a mouse, and you'd definitely be scared of me..."

  "'A dog meddling in the affairs of a mouse, I've never heard of such a thing,' Li Xiaobai retorted without any courtesy. 'Besides, I'm not a mouse, but a Golden Scale, just one step away from transforming into a dragon. When that time comes, if a small dog still dares to bark in front of me, I'll just have to let her experience the joy of being a leaf again...'"

  In Guo Jing's frantic shouting, Li Xiaobai hung up the phone.
