Liu Xinran, who was looking at the menu, sensed something. She looked up beside her and saw Ming Li with a calm expression.
"Clatter!"
The menu in Liu Xinran's hand slipped and fell onto the table.
Liu Ting, sitting opposite her, noticed the anomaly. He put down his phone and looked at Liu Xinran, who had a strange look on her face. "Ranran, what's wrong?" he asked.
"Ah? Nothing," Liu Xinran said, her voice snapping back to attention at Liu Ting's voice. She quickly picked up the menu and resumed ordering.
Liu Ting narrowed his eyes and glanced in the direction Liu Xinran had been looking. He saw a handsome face, and for some reason, Liu Ting felt it was somewhat familiar.
"Brother, what are you looking at!" Seeing Liu Ting staring at Qin Qingli, a trace of jealousy flashed through Liu Xinran's heart.
"Nothing, Ranran, are you done ordering?" Liu Ting withdrew his gaze and looked at Liu Xinran, a doting smile on his face.
"Yes, can you stop looking at other girls, brother?" Liu Xinran pouted, pulling Liu Ting's hand. "If you look at other girls, I'll get jealous."
Liu Ting smiled, reached out, and ruffled the girl's hair. "Alright, brother won't look at other girls anymore."
Upon hearing this, Liu Xinran flashed a triumphant smile in Ming Li's direction.
So what if he's your brother? He still obeys her every word.
Sensing the gaze from the side, Ming Li raised an eyebrow, looking displeased.
"Qingli, what do you like to eat?" Song Tian, sitting opposite her, asked with the menu, not noticing Ming Li's expression.
Ming Li withdrew her gaze and replied, "Anything is fine."
After finishing their meal, the two returned to school.
"Qingli, did you notice the guy sitting next to us earlier? He's so handsome! I've decided, he's my crush!" Song Tian said, her arm linked with Ming Li's, her face full of adoration.
Ming Li's mouth twitched. "What's the point of being good-looking? If his character isn't good, you should find a different crush."
"Huh?" Song Tian was confused by Ming Li's words. "Qingli, do you know him? How do you know his character isn't good?"
Ming Li's mouth curved. She cast a meaningful glance at Song Tian. "You'll find out later."
Song Tian: "..."
In the evening, Ming Li was dragged out to eat again by Song Tian. When they were returning to the dormitory, they were blocked by a group of boys. The leader's gaze swept over Ming Li and Song Tian, and he said with ill intent, "Junior, want to exchange WeChat?"
Song Tian looked at the tall boys blocking their way and swallowed. She stood in front of Ming Li and said, "What... what are you doing? This is the school. If you dare to mess around, I'll call the police."
Ming Li raised an eyebrow and immediately recognized them as the simps of Liu Xinran from the original plot, who used to bully the original host for Liu Xinran.
Thinking this, Ming Li narrowed her eyes. Tsk, they're coming to cause trouble so quickly? This female lead really can't wait.
"You little slut! You think you can get away with it!"
One of the boys said, stepping forward to grab Song Tian's collar.
"Crack!"
"Ah! My hand!"
The boy clutched his wrist, which was twisted unnaturally, tears of pain welling up.
Ming Li calmly withdrew her hand and looked at the group in front of her with icy eyes. "Here's your WeChat, can you afford it?"
The leader took two steps back, looked at his brother's hand, and frowned. "Go! Teach this slut a lesson!" Not only did she bully his Goddess Xinran, but she also injured his brother's hand.
Seeing this, Song Tian panicked and was already reaching for her phone to call the police.
Ming Li pulled her behind her with one hand and calmly glanced at the surveillance cameras in a certain direction. A smile played on her lips. "Protect yourself."
With that, her figure flashed, and she began fighting with the group of boys.
Two minutes later, the boys who had been so arrogant were lying on the ground in various positions, groaning.
Ming Li calmly retracted her hands, put them in her pockets, and looked at Song Tian, who was staring dumbfounded. She parted her crimson lips and uttered two words, "Call the police."
Song Tian heard this, her jaw dropped. She quickly reported, "Hello, police? There's school bullying here..."
