Chapter 21: Offering Earnest Service (Seeking Favor)

  "There is only one truth: either a humble gift or a thief."

  "Is that all?" Yuan Garden was somewhat disappointed, "I thought you had found some flaw."

  With just one sentence, the two of them were dismissed, and Yuan Garden was not disappointed.

  It's not that Li Xiaobai didn't have a good reason to see through it, the key is that she had studied acting skills with Guo Jing for two days. They watched TV dramas and analyzed acting skills and psychology, who knew that Li Xiaobai wouldn't believe them at all.

  It's been so hard to prepare for so long, and you actually figured out the ending without even waiting for our performance. How can she bear this?

  "This is not simple," without getting praised, the other party was quite disdainful, Li Xiaobai immediately felt wronged. "This is seeing through phenomena to grasp the essence. Just two days ago, Guo Jing was just lectured by me with righteous words and proper demeanor, and she doesn't have the breadth of vision of a prime minister, how could she just let it go like that?"

  "Chancellors are all exhausted to death, I don't want to be a chancellor." Guo Jing retorted without thinking.

  "It turned out to be a problem with Guo Jing's kid," Yuan Garden felt a bit more at ease, "I thought my acting skills were not up to par?"

  Yuan Garden still refused to admire him, and Li Xiaobai was even more determined to make it clear.

  "Let me tell you, your problem is even bigger!" Li Xiaobai tried hard to recall the class teacher's majestic and powerful appearance. "If I hadn't become her deskmate, I wouldn't have even known your name... Hey, why are you suddenly full of anger and not letting me speak?"

  Girls are really weird. Did he say something wrong? If it weren't for Guo Jing's sake, he wouldn't have known Yuan Garden at all. And why did Yuan Garden suddenly turn pale?

  "Alright... you said..." After panting for a few breaths, Yuan Garden finally suppressed his anger.

  Luckily she wasn't sitting at the same table as Li Xiaobai, otherwise she would have been driven mad too.

  "Wait, where were we? Oh, I don't even know your name. You suddenly ran up to me with a big smile on your face. I'm quite kind, but I didn't help you before, did I? Although girls are always mysterious creatures, your level of mystery is beyond my understanding of girls!"

  "Yuan... garden... he... He said you're being mysterious?" Guo Jing's small hands were clasped over her abdomen, struggling not to laugh.

  "Li Xiaobai..." Yuan's face turned bright red with anger.

  "Please don't be too emotional, okay?" Li Xiaobai said with some dissatisfaction, looking at Yuan Yuan's flushed face. "If you really want to call my name, just say it calmly, we're not that familiar yet."

  "Hah......hah......"

  At this point, Guo Jing couldn't care that Yuan Garden was her good friend anymore and laughed with an un-ladylike bow.

  Yuan Garden stamped her foot in annoyance. If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have helped Guo Jing at all. Once this person gets agitated, he completely forgets his stance.

  After that, Yuan Garden refused to pay attention to Li Xiaobai again. Guo Jing also realized that the situation just now was not right and shouldn't have laughed out loud. He slowly moved to Yuan Garden's side and started talking to her about something.

  But just now I really wanted to laugh, and she couldn't help it again.

  Thinking of being depressed, Guo Jing turned his head and stared at Li Xiaobai.

  It was all him, always talking nonsense, and as a result, the elegant temperament she had cultivated for years was temporarily hidden.

  Without the chatter of the two, Li Xiaobai felt more comfortable. He looked at the time and it was not yet one o'clock. At this time, although the classroom door was open, it was impossible to fall asleep once inside, so he might as well lie down comfortably on the lawn for a while.

  Two girls were quietly counting down Li Xiaobai on one side, and they didn't seem to want to leave either.

  The music floated in the campus until the end of lunch break, and the two girls stood up. Li Xiaobai also suddenly opened his eyes.

  Just now he was on guard against the two girls. Li Xiaobai thought that he was even more clever than Zhīzhě. Even with a thousand calculations, there couldn't be any omissions, he didn't want to relax for a moment and fall into the girls' trap.

  It seemed that the two girls must have really admired him, and nothing happened in a minute.

  "Ah, look at that girl, I think she's the one who got second place in the 1500m long run during our school sports day in first year of high school. I remember she was in our grade too."

  On the way back to the classroom, Guo Jing suddenly pointed at a tall girl and said.

  As for girls, Li Xiaobai wasn't really interested, anyway he wouldn't deviate from his own path because of this little scenery.

  "Is that so? Some guy is still a boy, I'm afraid he's not even as tall as others?" Yuan Garden, who almost lost his temper just now, saw the girl and felt like he had finally vented his anger.

  He actually slandered me, now Li Xiaobai has no choice but to turn his head around.

  If it's a boy, 175cm in height is nothing special at the age of high school sophomore, but if it's a girl, 175cm would be quite outstanding.

  The girl who had just brushed past the three of them was about this tall.

  The girl with a ponytail was wearing a white sportswear, slowly walking towards the playground. It seemed that this class was definitely physical education.

  As she had walked far away, Li Xiaobai couldn't see her face clearly, but her figure, objectively speaking, was still quite good.

  "It's just about average height, nothing special." Li Xiaobai said nonchalantly after a brief glance.

  What's the difference between being a bit taller or shorter, does it mean that just because this girl is slightly taller, she's not a girl anymore? So, girls' logic is really too weird.

  "Hum, you're a boy and still shorter than me, don't you feel ashamed?" Yuan Garden retorted immediately.

  Li Xiaobai's previous words made her so angry that she was itching for a fight, and now she had completely turned against him.

  "I heard that if a person is too tall, they can't even buy shoes in the right size," Li Xiaobai said with some sympathy. "Who knows, maybe that girl regrets being so tall."

  When this remark came out, Li Xiaobai was about to withdraw his gaze, but unexpectedly found that the girl suddenly turned her head and took a look.

  Even though they were separated by a distance, Li Xiaobai had a feeling that she seemed to have heard her own words.

  It was already seven or eight meters away, how could the girl possibly hear it, Li Xiaobai quickly shook off his thoughts.

  "Anyway, I'll find a taller boyfriend in the future..." didn't seem to have an impact on him, and Yuan Garden still wouldn't give up.

  "Talking about boyfriends so openly, don't you girls have any shame?" Li Xiaobai sneered, "Great, why not find one who's over two meters tall? That way, when you want to kiss him, you can probably reach his knee by jumping up."

  They teased each other like this until they reached the classroom door together.

  Then, the originally chaotic classroom suddenly became quiet.

  Li Xiaobai actually appeared with two girls, oh my god, did they get it wrong?
