At the Ye house.
Ye Chao looked at the two report cards in front of him and looked at Ye Hui gloomily. "Diarrhea and fever? Is this the reason why you fell from second place to second from the bottom? "
Yes, there were 15 classes in each grade in Le Cheng and no more than 450 students were enrolled every year. In addition to the dozen students who dropped out of the second grade, there were exactly 437 students left. Ye Hui was ranked 436, which was equivalent to second from the bottom — and this was under the condition that the last student missed the other subjects after the language exam.
This kind of result was already very bad, and now it was compared to Gou Liang's second place.
Ye Hui couldn't explain to his father that he endured the pain of his stomach curling up and almost pooping his pants in the exam room, or that he was dizzy and uncomfortable. It was already his strong willpower to be able to read a few questions clearly and get 200 points in the exam. Ye Chao wouldn't believe it either, because in the past two days, he had been repeatedly checked in the hospital and didn't find anything wrong with his body. He didn't even have the slight symptoms of dehydration that one would expect after having diarrhea.
Ye Chao would only think that this was an excuse for his failure.
In the end, Ye Hui could only say, "Dad, this is the last time. I promise that I won't make the same mistake again."
Ye Chao wasn't moved by his solemn vow and only asked him, "Last time I asked you, where did you go wrong? Have you thought about it clearly now?"
"I — Dad, I didn't expect Qi Cheng to be so good at pretending. He pretended to be weak in the past so that he could numb me! Moreover, when he was in the Ye house, he was so incompetent. As soon as he left the Ye house, he shone so brightly. What would outsiders think of our family? Those who didn't know better would think that you couldn't tolerate him and suppressed him. He didn't care about the Ye family's care for him for so many years! "
Ye Chao's originally cold and stern face frowned when Ye Hui said that the Ye family's reputation had been damaged.
Ye Hui was overjoyed. Just as he was about to add fuel to the fire, Ye Chao gave him a warning look, "Enough, don't say anymore. I know what you want to say. I, Ye Chao, believe that I can still tolerate a stepson who is better than my biological son. Whether or not I can control him is a problem that I need to consider. You don't need to worry about it. "
Ye Hui was shocked. "But, Dad —"
"It seems that you still don't understand." Ye Chao asked him to go out impatiently. "Reflect on yourself. Is it Qi Cheng who got the second place and disgraced the Ye Family? Or is it you, my biological son, who got the second last place and disgraced me more?"
Ye Hui's eyes were red as he walked out of the study unwillingly. His eyes flashed with hatred!
Behind him, Ye Chao looked at Qi Cheng's report card. His eyebrows never relaxed. Qi Cheng, this child, is more complicated than I expected …
The system watched this scene with Gou Liang. When it saw that Gou Liang's mindscape was beginning to scatter flowers again, it knew that he had earned some extra money.
【System: Master, is it really okay for you to show off like this and arouse Ye Chao's vigilance?】
【Gou Liang raised his eyebrows: As long as I let him think that he still has my weakness in his hands, it's fine. Just you wait. It won't be long before that woman comes to play the emotional card.】
【System: … If you can use your heart to deal with the Ye family and reverse the negative soul power of the host on this mission, I can die without regrets.】
【Gou Liang sneered: So it's my fault?】
【Gou Liang: Whatever the original owner wants, I can completely grasp it through his soul.】
【He wants the people who harmed him to pay the price. He wants to trample Ye Hui under his feet. He desires to obtain the recognition and attention of the Ye family and his birth mother. He was hurt by Zhan Yongzhe and cowardly wants to disappear in front of him. I can't do this, but I will make Zhan Yongzhe regret what he has done. I am confident that I can do this, and even exceed it. But what about the target?】
【It's fine if I can't draw the soul. The system's functions and the store's items are either useless or have very little effect. I asked you to capture the reason for the change in favorability and you worked overtime to develop some empathy item. You said that it would allow me to experience the change in favorability. But the result?】
【It's all the fault of the fragments! It's completely useless!】
【I single-handedly obtained + 15 favorability in a few days and you still want to blame me for being lazy? Hmph, Xiao Si, don't play dead. Tell the boss what I said just now. Don't change a single word. Tell him that if you continue to beat around the bush and annoy me, I will slit my throat and return to the Time Transit Station. You can find whoever you want to attack the target!】
【The system trembles: Okay, okay, master! Yes, master! π _ _ π】

Lecheng High School, Autumn Sports Day.
The school sports day coincidentally coincided with the exam week. For the students who didn't need to participate in the competition, taking a break on a Friday was a very happy thing.
But for the sports committee member of Yu Gao's second and third class, it wasn't so easy.
A few days ago, he was badly battered. He had finally managed to get the majority of the spots for the competition, but no one wanted to participate in the last two spots for the men's 10km marathon. Last time, Zhan Yongzhe and Ye Hui represented the class to participate. However, Ye Hui had been staying in the hospital outside of class recently. Zhan Yongzhe had symptoms of chest tightness and vomiting after the last competition, so he couldn't jump into the fire pit again.
The sports committee member also worked in the logistics department of the school sports day, so he couldn't participate. He was very troubled for two days. Later, he got some advice from someone and went to find Shi Yu.
He had originally prepared a large basket of words, ranging from personal ability to collective honor, hoping to convince Shi Yu. However, he didn't expect that after hesitating for a while, Shi Yu would agree after pondering for a while.
The sports committee member was so grateful that he almost held Shi Yu's hand and called him dad.
Gou Liang was taking out a box of cake from the hole in the table. When he saw this, he put a piece into his mouth and asked, "10km marathon?"
The sports committee member took the opportunity to complain, "Hey, it's just running 25 laps around the field. The women's team was canceled because they went into shock before. Now, only the men's team is left. Hey, if you ask me, this is also gender discrimination … "
"There's still one spot. I'll go."
Gou Liang said as he wiped the cake crumbs from his mouth.
Shi Yu and the sports committee member were shocked. Even the people sitting in front of them were shocked. Li Linling looked at Gou Liang's white and tender face and whispered, "Qi Cheng, this isn't a joke. Last year, Zhan Yongzhe signed up, but he was so uncomfortable that he couldn't eat for several days."
Gou Liang's cat eyes opened wider. He said in surprise, "He has kidney deficiency? You really can't judge a book by its cover … "
Shi Yu, the sports committee member, Chen Li Bai, and Li Linling were speechless.
Zhan Yongzhe, who accidentally passed by, was speechless.
They must have been overthinking things when they saw the look of relief on their faces. = _ =
The sports committee member said awkwardly, "Since Qi Cheng said so, I'll submit the name list. It's important to participate, hahaha."
"Do I have such a bad sense of honor in the class? Since I'm participating, of course I won't take the first place. " Gou Liang raised his eyebrows and put his hand on Shi Yu's and said, "Dear deskmate, last time I was not as good as you and lost to you by one point. This time, we'll rely on our own abilities. How about it, do you dare to bet with me? If I lose, you can ask for anything. But if I win, you have to give me your paper that scored one point more than mine. Do you want to play? "
He said that one point with gritted teeth.
"Okay." Shi Yu was as gentle as ever. He took out a test paper from the drawer and spread it open. He said with a smile, "If you win, this is yours. If I win … Well, I don't ask for much. Just bring me a month's worth of breakfast. "
Gou Liang stared at the test paper, his face filled with an indescribable sense of smugness.
[Gou Liang: Is he provoking me? Provoking me? Provoking me? (̄ ̄ ̄) Convex]
[System: @ ^ @]
The camera returned to the scene of the 10,000-meter marathon. The runners who were warming up were fired up.
Looking at Gou Liang, he was sitting at the table and drinking water leisurely.
Li Linling and Zhang Xiao saw this and were very anxious. The school belle and class belle were massaging Gou Liang's shoulders and loosening his arms. The other boys' eyes were green with envy. Some of the boys who didn't know Gou Liang asked and found out that he was the man of the moment in the school's big confession event. Looking at this scene, their expressions were really … indescribable.
Li Linling said, "Qi Cheng, let's drink less. What if we throw up on the field?"
"That's right." Zhang Xiao said, "Look at Shi Yu. He's already warming up. You're not prepared at all. What if you lose to him again?" Ever since Gou Liang brought her a few exclusive and special diet sweets to satisfy Zhang Xiao's gluttonous heart who loved sweets but was easily fat, her balance had tilted from the unattainable school hunk to the naturally airheaded handsome boy with dimples.
Gou Liang looked at Shi Yu with disdain and said loudly, "Just get ready to sing 'Conquer'. You think I'll lose to him? Hmph. "
The whistle sounded and interrupted Li Linling's words.
The runners went on the field. When Shi Yu passed by him, he lowered his head and said, "Do you know what 'I'll lose to him' means? It's usually used to slap people in the face. Anyway … do your best, deskmate. "
Gou Liang: "…"
Bastard, you think you can provoke me with just a few words? Hmph — I'll fall for that!
[System that has been roasted to the point of no escape by the flames of the sea of consciousness.]
"Get ready — run!"
When the whistle sounded, Gou Liang rushed in front of Shi Yu like a small cannonball and gave him a thumbs-down provocation.
[Staring at the Favorability System with fear and trepidation: Master, you're courting death.]
Outside the track, the cheering started as soon as it started. Gou Liang heard, "Qi Cheng, do your best!" "Qi Cheng, you're the best!" "Class Three is extraordinary!" He waved his hand and sent a few flying kisses to the source of the cheers, which immediately caused the screams of the girls, led by the school belle and the class belle. But in this moment of distraction, a figure passed by him in slow motion and left him with a (^ _ ^) expression.
Gou Liang: … Wait for him to tear the (^ _ ^) off and paste it on his face!
One lap, two laps, three laps … After ten laps, even the specially recruited sports students slowed down to a certain extent to conserve their energy. There were only two contestants on the field who were advancing at a constant speed and constantly competing to be faster than the other contestants. They were Student Gou Liang and Student Shi Yu from Grade Two Class Three.
Their PE teacher chased after them outside the track and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Slow down, conserve your energy! Slow down! "Seeing that they turned a deaf ear, he had no choice but to arrange for someone to give them mineral water to soothe their throats.
"Qi Cheng, do your best!"
"Shi Yu is so handsome!!"
Among the screams, some people who didn't know them asked the people around them for information. Occasionally, there were people saying, "He's Qi Cheng, he's so beautiful! Don't you think he's a good match for Shi Yu from their class?! "Similar comments. Shi Yu, who was passing by, suddenly turned his head and glanced at the special group of people who were covering their mouths and stamping their feet while shouting about how handsome they were. He then looked at Gou Liang's vigorous figure not far in front of him and immediately sped up.
On the track, they were drenched in sweat and running as if they were flying.
The strenuous exercise didn't affect Gou Liang and Shi Yu's facial expressions and looks at all. This successfully drew a line between them and the other contestants who were either frowning or had hideous facial features. They were two completely different worlds.
"Come on!!"
"More than one lap!"
"Two laps!!"
"Three laps — Ahhh, we're definitely going to be the champion! Shi Yu, come on!! Qi Cheng, come on!! Class Three is extraordinary! Shi Yu, Qi Cheng, you're extraordinary!! "
The male student who had chased after them for a while and passed them towels or water was exhausted. Looking at the beautiful girls who were cheering for Gou Liang and Shi Yu, he collapsed on the ground and cried to the sky, "God owes me a favor when he created man" QAQ. The male students who were more open-minded than him had already started to place their bets, betting on whether Qi Cheng would win or Shi Yu would win.
The last lap!
The whistling wind blew past his ears. Gou Liang, who had been far ahead, suddenly felt that there was another person beside him who had stirred up the wind. He turned his head to look and saw Shi Yu nodding at him with a smile, opening his mouth to say: "I'll go first."
Then, Shi Yu sped up for the final sprint!
Gou Liang narrowed his eyes and sped up as well. The two of them chased each other, neither of them willing to fall behind the other.
The finish line was right in front of them. The red flag in the referee's hand was already raised high, ready to be waved down when the winner arrived.
Gou Liang glanced at Shi Yu, who had caught up to him once again. He abruptly lifted himself up and wanted to increase his speed, but his hamstring suddenly spasmed and he staggered. He immediately crouched down and frowned as he clutched his ankle.
Shi Yu was shocked. He had already overtaken Gou Liang and stopped. He came to Gou Liang's side faster than the teachers who were on standby. He squatted down and asked, "What's wrong? Are you okay …" Before he could finish his sentence, he saw Gou Liang, whose face was full of wrinkles, suddenly smile brightly at him. Gou Liang, who had already set up his starting position, jumped up, passed him, and rushed to the finish line as fast as he could.
Shi Yu: "…"
The nervous crowd: "…"
The teachers who had rushed up to rescue Shi Yu: "…"
The whistle sounded and the red flag was waved down.
Gou Liang turned his head and looked at Shi Yu, who was four laps ahead of the others and had slowed down to jog to the finish line. He ignored the students who urged him to keep running and not stop. He hummed a little tune as he ran towards Shi Yu.
"All's fair in war. If you're willing to bet, you have to be willing to accept defeat, my dear deskmate."
Gou Liang's eyes were full of cunning and pride. His deep dimples were full of happiness. His smile was so bright that even the afternoon sun paled in comparison. Shi Yu pursed his lips slightly. He couldn't help but smile when he saw Gou Liang's smile.
[Ding! Target's favorability has been updated. Current favorability: + 35.]
*
After the school sports meet, the students of Grade Two and Grade Three returned with a full load. Everyone's face was full of joy — except for Ye Hui. But that was not important.
When the sports committee member announced the names of all the students who had won glory for their class, Gou Liang placed boxes of fruits on the table. After gaining 20 favorability points in one go, Gou Liang was in a good mood. He found Shi Yu very pleasing to the eye. Not only did he take the initiative to invite him to share his food, he also smiled at him. Even Chen Li Bai, who had never been nice to him, got a piece of apple from him.
Li Linling praised as he ate, "Delicious! Qi Cheng, where did you buy these? How can you always buy such delicious fruits? Do you have a secret? Teach me ~ "
"This kind of thing depends not only on your eyesight but also on your talent." Gou Liang heartlessly rejected the school belle's request. He happily put the spoils of war — a sparsely written language test paper — into the inner compartment of his bag. He said in a good mood, "But I'm in a good mood today. If you're willing, come to my house tonight and let's have hotpot. I'll cook for you! "
"Wow, that's great!"
Li Linling was the first to clap his hands in agreement.
Zhang Xiao was also a bit excited, but she still said, "Won't we be disturbing Uncle and Auntie?"
"It's fine. I live alone and the place is spacious. It's enough for you to play around." Gou Liang stood up and clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention. He said, "You all heard it. Those who are willing to come are all welcome. Two beauties, please help me count the number of people. You just need to bring two legs and a mouth. Oh, right. Classmate Ye Hui, you've already had diarrhea for half a month. I won't invite you to something as stimulating as hotpot. I wish you a speedy recovery. "
Gou Liang gave him a scholarly smile.
Ye Hui's expression immediately changed. He clenched his fists and endured for a long time to not explode on the spot. He only sneered and said, "Classmate Qi Cheng is really able to let go. I just don't know if Classmate Zhan Yongzhe is willing to go."
He directed the fire to Zhan Yongzhe. As expected, the latter's smiling face stiffened for a moment. The students who always subconsciously forgot about Qi Cheng's sexual orientation also became embarrassed.
Gou Liang laughed.
"If Classmate Zhan is willing to come, of course I welcome him." Gou Liang put down the small silver fork that he used to eat the strawberries. It made a crisp sound as it hit the glass food box. He said, "Classmate Ye Hui doesn't have to worry about this. Firstly, I've never held Classmate Zhan's hand. Secondly, I've never kissed him. Why does Classmate Ye Hui make it sound like I abandoned Classmate Zhan? "
Li Linling was the first to burst out laughing.
"I didn't have to invite anyone, but I don't want to disappoint Classmate Ye Hui's expectations of watching a good show, right? I'm a very tolerant person when it comes to treating patients. Classmate Zhan, remember to come. I don't want to look guilty. " Gou Liang looked at Ye Hui with a smile that wasn't a smile. He was satisfied to see that Ye Hui was speechless after being rebuked.
Gou Liang, who had just won, proudly put his arm around the shoulder of Shi Yu, who didn't pay attention to the outside world and was only focused on reading sage books. He said, "Hey, loser, don't leave after school. For today's meal, you … are the main character. "
Shi Yu couldn't help but laugh and nod.
Gou Liang's smile immediately widened. He threw the address and spare key to Li Linling and left first to prepare the ingredients.
Chen Li Bai very sensibly called the sports committee member to help. Shi Yu thought for a bit, put away his book, and stood up as well. Gou Liang threw his backpack over his shoulder and valiantly led the vanguard troops away.
[The sweet-looking Gou Liang killed his way to the big blind spot behind him through the program eyes. Today, I'm going to avenge my previous humiliation! (?? д?)]
[System: … Master, do your best ^ v ^]
