Chapter 193: Celebrating the Departure

Xu Wanwan smiled. “Thank you, teacher.”

When she returned to the classroom, she had not even reached her seat when she heard a disdainful discussion behind her.

“Do you know what I heard in the counselor’s office just now?” Chen Zhigang had just come out of the office and heard the conversation between Xu Wanwan and the counselor clearly.

He snorted coldly, “Our Class Monitor actually wants to stay here. Isn’t she backed by the Li family, and her family conditions are extremely good? Why is she still choosing to stay here like a poor student?”

“Ah? Could it be that the Class Monitor is no longer staying in the Li family? Could it be that she has offended that very powerful man from the Li family?”

“Is there any need to say that? How could an ordinary person squeeze into a prestigious family like the Li family? Even if they forcefully squeezed in, they would still have to depend on another person’s livelihood.”

“No wonder the Class Monitor suddenly wanted to stay. It turns out that she was kicked out.”

“In my opinion, people shouldn’t expect things that don’t match with her. Otherwise, it would be a slap in the face.”

Xu Wanwan acted as if she didn’t hear the discussions behind her. She returned to her seat and quietly opened her textbook with an indifferent expression.

Lin Jianan looked at her worriedly and raised her eyes to glare at the group of people who were making sarcastic remarks.

“Are you guys bored? Can you guys stop talking?”

Chen Zhigang took the lead to jeer. “It’s recess time now, and you guys aren’t allowed to talk?”

“That’s right, that’s right. We’re not talking about you, so why are you meddling?”

“You guys are too much!” Lin Jianan clenched her fists in anger and stepped forward to argue with them.

However, before she could open her mouth, she heard an extremely impatient voice from the crowd—

“Let’s see who dares to talk nonsense?”

The few people who were discussing just now immediately shut up and looked toward the classroom door.

Li Xuyi strode over with a gloomy face. He was originally cold and aloof, but now that he was angry, he gave off an aura that no one dared to approach.

The few of them did not understand why he was protecting Xu Wanwan, but they did not dare to continue discussing.

On the contrary, Chen Zhigang still mustered up his courage and said, “Li Xuyi, it’s break time now. Do you still want to restrict everyone’s freedom of speech?”

He had always held a grudge against Xu Wanwan. It was not easy for him to wait for this opportunity to embarrass her, so how could he give it up so easily.

Li Xuyi glanced at him from the corner of his eyes and casually moved his wrist. “Are you courting death?”

“What do you mean? Can you respect people?” Chen Zhigang also clenched his fists. He was not afraid of anything at the moment, he just wanted to vent his anger.

Seeing that he did not know whether to live or die, Li Xuyi tilted his head and sneered. He grabbed his collar.

He used a little strength and lifted him up. Then, he waved his hand and punched Chen Zhigang hard in the face.

Chen Zhigang was hit so hard that he turned his head away. His glasses fell to the ground, and his lenses fell into a mess.

“You… you dare to hit someone? Ignoring the class rules, I’m going to tell the Principal!”

Li xuyi sneered, “Telling your grandfather won’t work.”

Then, he kicked the person away.

Everyone present could not help but shiver.

They were not afraid of Xu Wanwan, but Li Xuyi was a famous devil. His family background was good, so even if he caused trouble outside, he would have someone to protect him.

Li Xuyi looked around and looked at the people who were discussing just now. “If anyone dares to slander Xu Wanwan behind her back again, this will be the end.”

The people who were involved in the discussion just now quickly looked away and ran away dejectedly.

Lin Jianan did not expect Li Xuyi to appear at such a crucial moment and even speak up for Xu Wanwan.

She heaved a sigh of relief and returned to her seat.

No matter how calm Xu Wanwan was, the moment she saw Li Xuyi, she was still a little surprised.

“Are you alright?” The boy’s expression was still unruly and arrogant, but there was a hint of worry in his tone.

When she heard the greeting beside her ear, Xu Wanwan shook her head. “I’m fine.”

“Actually, you don’t have to speak up for me.” She thought for a moment and said plainly, “I don’t take these words to heart.”

Li Xuyi scoffed softly. “I’m not that magnanimous.”

He could not just watch as the person he liked was rendered useless by a bunch of bull, horse, and snake gods.

Since he liked her, he would protect her well.

“Don’t stay here. Come stay at my place instead, no rent,” Li Xuyi said.

Xu Wanwan immediately rejected him. “There’s no need. I want to be alone.”

“It’s so depressing to live in the school. Why can’t you just let it go?”

“I’ve already told the Counselor, she will apply for a single dormitory for me.”

Li Xuyi frowned. He knew how stubborn she was, and it was hard to change the things she had decided on.

“Alright then. I’ll help you pack your things later.”

This time, Xu Wanwan did not refuse.

When school was over, she moved out of Xu Yuchu’s place and brought her things to the new dormitory.

Although the single dormitory arranged by the school was not big, it looked clean and warm, especially the small window in front of the desk, where one could see the setting sun by the playground.

The one-and-a-half-meter single bed was covered with clean bedding. A corner of the light yellow curtain was blown up by the wind, and the orange sunset came in through the gap in the window.

Xu Wanwan took a light breath and suddenly felt very relaxed.

It was good to change the environment and live in a different place.

Perhaps only in this way could she forget everything that she had experienced before faster.

She was busy packing her things while Li Xuyi was sitting on the wooden chair in front of the desk, playing with his phone in boredom.

Outside the window was the warm orange sun. Li Xuyi pointed his phone at his face, slightly raised his chin, and smiled unruly. “Xu Wanwan, look at the camera.”

Xu Wanwan was bending over to pack her things, but when she heard this, she subconsciously looked up and looked in his direction.

The moment she looked back, Li Xuyi pressed the shutter button.

A group photo was saved in the photo album.

In the photo, Xu Wanwan’s clear eyes did not contain any impurities. When she suddenly looked back, she did not show any confusion. On the contrary, she looked exceptionally beautiful.

Li Xuyi curled his lips in satisfaction and admired the photo that he had just taken. “I’m so handsome. If you take a photo with me, it will make you look even better.”

Xu Wanwan rolled her eyes at him and continued to work on what she was doing.

“Why are you taking a photo all of a sudden?”

Li Xuyi blurted out, “Of course, it’s to celebrate.”

“Today isn’t a special day. What’s there to celebrate?”

Xu Wanwan’s tone was very calm. She placed the last book on the table and leaned against the corner of the table to rest.

Li Xuyi said to himself, “To celebrate your departure from the Li family.”

“What?”

“Nothing.” Li Xuyi came back to his senses and looked at the girl before the sunset. He suddenly felt hopeful.

She had finally left the Li family home. From today onwards, he would be able to pursue her justifiably.

“When you’re done packing, come out and have dinner with me.” Li Xuyi was in a good mood. Even his tone sounded like he had changed into a different person. He was actually not so cold.

Xu Wanwan looked around the room. She was almost done with the cleaning.
