Zhang Ji’s fingers tapped on the table, making rhythmic and powerful sounds.

He said to Zhou Feng, “At that time, you promised me that you would definitely get first place in the provincial Mathematical Olympiad. You also promised me that you would be obedient and be invisible in school. But now? You and Miao Dong get into fights with others every few days. You even brought her over the wall and out of the school. Isn’t this the opposite of your promise? Or is your promise like a fart that can’t be taken seriously?”

Zhou Feng could not refute. Although he didn’t intend to do these things, the outcome was indeed as Zhang Ji had said.

Zhang Ji became even more serious. “Miao Dong is a troublemaker himself. If you hang out with him, do you expect him to take you along to study?”

Zhou Feng subconsciously defended Miao Dong. “He’s not a troublemaker. Shen Ming was the one who provoked him first!”

“Are you sure?” Zhang Ji pointed out the window.

Shen Ming had just finished two laps, and Miao Dong had already finished resting and sat up against the red brick wall.

Shen Ming walked to Miao Dong’s side and sat down beside him.

There were no quarrels or fights as expected. On the contrary, the two of them actually got along well. Shen Ming even helped Miao Dong pat the sand off his body. The two of them chatted calmly. When they were talking about something, Miao Dong even laughed.

Zhang Ji looked at the situation and asked Zhou Feng, “Do you think the two of them look like they don’t like each other and will fight whenever they see each other?”

Zhou Feng was speechless.

Zhang Ji continued, “The first place in the Mathematical Olympiad is not as simple as you think. Only by calming down will your studies be effective. Every day, you think about how to make friends and call someone who has no ambition your brother. Is this how you study?”

Zhou Feng still had nothing to say. He secretly looked out of the window and was even a little angry that Miao Dong was actually getting along well with Shen Ming. Shen Ming had clearly bullied him so much, but he could actually chat with him calmly now.

An inexplicable anger started to burn in Zhou Feng’s heart, making him feel a little irritated.

Seeing him silent, Zhang Ji knew that his words had worked. In the end, he said, “Don’t let me see you and Miao Dong hang out every day without studying. Otherwise, I’ll disqualify you from climbing over the wall to attend the tutoring class!”

Zhou Feng nodded in tacit agreement and walked out silently.

Beside the red brick wall.

Miao Dong was extremely tired. She lay on the ground and sank into the soft sand. And the soreness in her muscles eased.

After a while, Miao Dong was worried that Zhang Ji would punish her even more severely if he saw her like this through the window, so she adjusted her posture and slowly sat up.

She was still panting heavily. When the sultry air made her breathe violently, she felt a burning pain in her throat and lungs. She could only adjust her breathing by holding her breath.

At this moment, Shen Ming and his two sidekicks had also finished two laps. The two sidekicks were really afraid of Miao Dong’s beating. They turned to the side to rest and then stood still as a punishment as Zhang Ji instructed.

However, Shen Ming walked to Miao Dong’s side and sat down beside her, ignoring Miao Dong’s warning gaze.

Miao Dong’s eyes were vigilant as he looked at Shen Ming’s bruised face.

She no longer had the effect of the Combat Power Boost Card. If Shen Ming still wanted to cause trouble, she would probably be beaten up in her current state.

Shen Ming must have sensed Miao Dong’s hostility and immediately said, “Easy, easy. I’m not here to cause trouble. I just have some questions I don’t understand and want to ask you.”

Miao Dong was surprised when she heard that. So this brawny and simple-minded idiot would ask too if he didn’t understand something?

“Go ahead and ask. I’ll consider whether I should answer you.” Miao Dong put on airs. She placed her hands on her knees and leaned her head back against the red brick wall.

Under the brick-red wall that was slightly yellowed by the sun, Miao Dong’s skin looked even fairer. Sweat soaked her hair, and she casually combed it back with her hand, revealing her smooth and full forehead.

She had just finished running. Her face was a healthy shade of red, and her lips were even redder and more alluring.

Shen Ming was stunned for a moment and actually forgot what he wanted to ask. He blurted out, “You’re a girl. Why did you disguise yourself as a boy to enter Science and Technology High School?”
