Chapter 27: Indignant at Others' Outrage

  As soon as he left the playground, Li Xiaobai felt a little regretful. What if Guo Jing took this opportunity to make another small report, saying that he had openly skipped class? Wouldn't he be dead for sure then?

  His footsteps involuntarily stopped, and he subconsciously wanted to turn around and return to the playground. Li Xiaobai quickly stopped again.

  It doesn't matter if others look down on you or not, but don't look down on yourself. This choice is made by oneself, and a man should take responsibility for his own choices. Since you've chosen to run away with her, then be more resolute and unwavering.

  However, before Lin Nan's home visit, if he was caught again and scolded in front of his parents, it would be even more terrible. But there are always more solutions than problems, and after a quick turn of thought, Li Xiaobai already had an idea. He hummed a tune as he slowly walked towards the office.

  Since it's a voluntary surrender, the head teacher will definitely be lenient. Otherwise, wouldn't that phrase "leniency for those who confess" be a deceitful lie?

  "Moreover, I'm not feeling well," in the office, after hearing Li Xiaobai's words, Lin Nan, who had not left yet, felt a bit of a headache. "Li Xiaobai, tell me yourself, since school started, how many times have you attended physical education class properly?"

  "Ah..."

  Li Xiaobai was confused, his script shouldn't be like this, should it?

  "Teacher, I'm not feeling well and don't want to attend this PE class. Can you help me ask for a leave?"

  "Feeling unwell, have you gone to the infirmary?"

  "He said I should take a good rest. The doctor suggested that it's better for me to avoid participating in outdoor classes like physical education."

  "Oh, in that case, why don't you go back to your dorm and take a nap? I'll let your PE teacher know."

  ……

  I remember that Lin Nan was very concerned about Guo Jing last time. How come when it comes to him, not only is he unconcerned, but also suspicious from the start? Teacher, where has the most basic trust between teacher and student gone?

  Fortunately, Lin Nan was in a good mood today and didn't intentionally make things difficult for him. Otherwise, Li Xiaobai would have suspected that Lin Nan was treating him differently.

  Out of the office and back in the classroom, Li Xiaobai took out his meal card. At this time, the bell for the end of class also rang.

  "Xia Xiner, I'd like to invite you out for a meal."

  "Xia Xiner, I'd like to invite you out for a meal."

  "Xia Xiner, I'd like to invite you out for a meal."

  ……

  Li Xiaobai walked out of the classroom only after he had silently practiced several times in his heart and felt a bit more confident.

  There are three classes having physical education at the same time, and there are also students from three classes rushing to the teaching area in the playground.

  However, it would still be a bit difficult to suddenly find someone in three classes. But even Li Xiaobai had to admit that Xia Xiang'er was indeed too eye-catching. Wherever she appeared, people seemed to divide into two groups.

  One of them is Xia Xiner. Another area, called people other than Xia Xiner.

  "Xia Xiner..."

  Seeing the familiar figure, Li Xiaobai waved at her.

  "Anything?" Hesitated for a moment, Xia Xiner finally walked over.

  "Do you have time? I want to kiss you..." Seeing Xia Xiang'er's bad face, at this moment even his favorite Li Xiaobai wanted to slap himself, "No, it's me...I want to invite you...I want to invite you to dinner."

  He had practiced so many times before, but he still encountered problems when putting it into practice.

  Practice makes perfect, go deceive some undeveloped little kids quickly!

  "Why invite me to dinner," Xia Xiner's face finally returned to normal, "although you've become a deserter, but you haven't lost to me yet, so let's just forget about the treat."

  As she spoke, Xia Xiang'er thought of leaving.

  "Of course, I didn't lose to you," Li Xiaobai thought for a moment and followed up, "It's just that at the time on the playground, you were still cooperating with me. I, Li Xiaobai, have always been clear about gratitude and resentment. Although you're a girl, I'm still quite grateful to you. However, since you don't want to, then there's nothing more to say. Anyway, I've already thanked you, whether you accept it or not is secondary, the main thing is that you remember this happened."

  After finishing speaking, Li Xiaobai wanted to leave.

  In this way, even if he has any conflicts with Xia Xinger in the future, he won't feel embarrassed.

  "Bastard, who said I didn't agree?" Xia Xiner was furious. "Will you or won't you treat us? Please be sincere with your attitude!"

  "Of course I won't be treating," Li Xiaobai immediately retorted, "usually others invite me, it's just that I haven't gone before."

  "It should be no one invited you, right?" Xia Xiang'er sneered, "Said so nicely."

  "It can't be said that way. Whether or not I'm invited, the result is still that I didn't go. Since the outcome is the same, what's the difference in how it's said?" Li Xiaobai argued strongly.

  "I'm really impressed by you." Xia Xiang'er looked at Li Xiao Bai with disdain and stopped talking.

  Since Xia Xiner has surrendered, he must show mercy.

  After a while, the two of them maintained a safe distance of thirty feet, one in front and one behind, until they arrived at the restaurant.

  "Where shall we go to eat?" Xia Xiner asked as they reached the entrance of the restaurant.

  "The first floor and third floor are no different to me. However, today is a bit of an exception, let's go eat on the third floor." Li Xiaobai took the lead and walked ahead.

  Compared to the crowded first floor, the third floor's dishes are relatively expensive, and there are fewer students lining up. After asking Xia Xiner about her dietary restrictions, Li Xiaobai instructed Xia Xiner to grab a seat while he went to order food by himself.

  Choose a more expensive seafood pot rice, pan-fried fish steak, spicy chicken, and a vegetarian dish with an unpronounceable name.

  Suddenly, Li Xiaobai saw more than 60 yuan disappear from his meal card.

  Even if it was someone else's meal card, Li Xiaobai felt a slight pang of pain.

  "Are you rich?" Seeing Li Xiaobai going to fetch soup again, Xia Xiang'er couldn't help but ask.

  "You should ask Guo Jing about this," said Li Xiaoyao, getting annoyed, "Forget it, let's go get the soup!"

  That's right, this is Guo Jing's meal card.

  Originally, Li Xiaobai just wanted to confiscate her meal card for a few days as a small punishment.

  Who would have thought that this little girl and Yuan Jia would actually think of finding Zheng Feixiang to deal with him.

  In that case, he can be more straightforward then.

  If it weren't for worrying about waste, Li Xiaobai would definitely order a few more dishes and eat herself to death!

  Actually, eating in the school cafeteria is not that interesting. Because there are many people and everyone has their own characteristics. The school cafeteria cannot cater to each person's preferences and become a specialty restaurant, it can only accommodate everyone's taste and become a home-style restaurant. Sometimes even eating free home-cooked meals at home feels hard to swallow. In a school that teaches and educates people, you still have to pay money, which is really unreasonable.

  "Li Xiaobai, I really didn't expect it, you're quite despicable today."

  Chopsticks stirred back and forth in the soup, Xia Xiang'er said absent-mindedly.
