Ye Wangxing actually knew why Head Teacher Li acted this way.

Recently, he had indeed been selling a bit too much, which caused Head Teacher Li to overreact.

But Ye Wangxing had only referred to the level of physical contact between the boys in his class.

For the boys in his class, things like putting an arm over someone’s shoulder, hugging their waist, or a side-face princess carry were simply symbols of normal straight male behavior.

He had only leaned a little closer in that direction, who would have thought Head Teacher Li would be this nervous.

[Host, it might be because we don’t seem very straight.] 19 wrapped his arm around his host’s shoulder and said directly.

[Then do you think he’s straight?] Ye Wangxing pointed at Zhang Le, who was coquettishly singing Love and Hate in a Split Second with his pinky finger raised.

Zhang Le even threw him a flirtatious wink.

[……] 19 immediately fell silent.

Ye Wangxing guessed he was going to create another personality model.

This was also an old habit of 19’s, coming from the war zone. He always tried to classify people into different personality models.

But Ye Wangxing really wanted to say that with such abstract, talented players like these, no matter how many personality models 19 created, he would never be able to predict what their next move would be.

However, 19 had not given up, and Ye Wangxing indulged him. He quietly checked the task reward he had received this time.

The reason for the delay was purely because Zhou Mu had only recently read his self-reflection under the national flag, stating that he would never misuse the public announcement system to scare female classmates. The task had only been marked as complete after that.

Ye Wangxing first focused on the gold. When he saw that it had accumulated to 500g, or one pound, he immediately showed a satisfied smile.

However, upon seeing the task to stop the male lead from rescuing the female lead, Ye Wangxing furrowed his brows.

He had already sealed the wall on the west side of the school, which made the alley behind it a gloomy passage with cement walls on both sides. Students, after school, would rather take a detour than walk through that alley, and on the other side of the alley was the police station. No matter how bold a thief might be, they wouldn’t dare cause trouble right under the police’s nose.

Under these circumstances, how would fate make the male lead heroically rescue the female lead?

Besides, Su Qing and Zhou Mu had already broken up.

Ye Wangxing was a bit surprised by this. He hadn’t expected Su Qing, who seemed so love-brained, to recover so quickly after the fantasy filter was shattered. She chose to break up with Zhou Mu and even encouraged him to focus on studying. Once he got into college, they could talk about relationships again.

But Ye Wangxing felt this wasn’t what the fate line wanted to see.

He had a bad feeling about this.

At this moment, 19 finally returned to the consciousness space.

Ye Wangxing looked at 19’s beautiful but expressionless face, which also carried a hint of fatigue, and asked: “Is the personality model complete? Any findings?”

19 shook his head, the first time he felt that his massive data model was somewhat powerless.

— He really couldn’t predict what these students would do next.

He rarely gave up on these, sat next to Ye Wangxing, and they both stared at the task panel, analyzing what circumstances might cause this task’s plot to unfold.

[Host, this task has an 84.3% probability that its difficulty will increase. Now that the male and female leads have broken up, the fate line will definitely try its best to make them reconcile.]

19 frowned as he said this.

He really hadn’t expected that the difficulty of the final task would be upgraded.

But he couldn’t say the host had done anything wrong. In fact, the host was already in the top tier among the newbies.

Ye Wangxing listened and felt a bit troubled.

However, after discussing it, the two of them decided to do a field check of the locations.

In reality, Nan Jiu and Yan Yi also came to Ye Wangxing’s side. The three of them left the classroom together, walked down the corridor, and observed the possible locations where the plot could unfold.

After 19’s analysis confirmed which places posed the greatest threat, they specifically made their way to Su Qing.

After using Su Yi’s large order at their milk tea shop to start a conversation, Ye Wangxing calmly reminded Su Qing not to wander around on the day of the parent-teacher meeting.

Su Qing didn’t notice anything unusual and nodded in agreement to Ye Wangxing’s words.

However, their normal conversation seemed quite irritating to Zhou Mu.

“I found the person Su Qing is cheating on me with.”

As soon as the class ended, Zhou Mu, with a gloomy face, said to his lackey.

His lackey was still surprised to learn that there was indeed someone. But when he heard who the person was, his expression froze.

“Su Qing is definitely cheating on me with Ye Wangxing! Just look at how close they were talking before class, it’s definitely him!” Zhou Mu ground his teeth.

Lackey: “…”

Boss, Su Qing’s open and honest behavior really doesn’t look like she’s cheating.

Besides, isn’t it possible that she just finds you unworthy?

But the lackey didn’t dare to say this aloud. He could only stay silent and watch as his boss caused trouble before the parent-teacher meeting.

Either he was out racing with those so-called “brothers,” or he was gritting his teeth while staring at Ye Wangxing and Su Qing, his teeth nearly worn down.

Especially after those so-called “brothers” found out Zhou Mu had been dumped by the school beauty, his mood worsened.

“…At least spend some money! You can’t even come up with 10 bucks? What are you even doing?”

“No wonder she doesn’t want to talk to you and wants to break up with you. She’s both a school beauty and a top student, and you’re just trashing her name like that.”

“Did she owe you something in her past life, or did you save her life? Breaking up is normal, and you’re still acting wronged.”

Actually, the lackey thought those “brothers” weren’t wrong. Though their words were harsh, they did make sense.

But if Zhou Mu were someone who could accept advice, he wouldn’t be so stubborn, still thinking that Su Qing betrayed him.

The day before the parent-teacher meeting, the lackey started to feel that his boss was planning something bad, but he couldn’t find any proof.

Luckily, the parent-teacher meeting finally started.

The lackey thought.

Now that his boss’s uncle was there, he couldn’t cause any trouble, right?

The “watching” four-person group had the same thought.

These past few days, even though Zhou Mu hadn’t approached Su Qing, his gaze had become more and more menacing, and his temper grew more violent. Their hearts had been on edge.

But now that the parent-teacher meeting was underway and Zhou Mu’s uncle was watching, they hoped he wouldn’t cause any trouble during this time.

Zhao Xiaxia thought.

Then she went to fetch tea.

Yes, at Baoning First High School’s parent-teacher meeting, students had to serve tea to the parents. It wasn’t about gratitude education—it was purely about being recruited as greeters.

A few years ago, there had been some gratitude education, even with students performing on stage, but Principal Zheng, with his bold reforms, cut those activities, which only embarrassed both parents and students while the teachers felt self-satisfied.

Now, the most students had to do was serve tea and act as laborers.

And the ones recruited for this labor were the “watching” four-person group.

The homeroom teacher happened to see the two boys and two girls together and casually recruited them.

The rest of the students happily headed to the playground with their school bags, waiting for their parents to finish the meeting and take them home.

Su Qing wasn’t an exception. But since her close friends were all busy serving tea, she sat alone on a bench next to the playground, waiting for Su Yi to come out and pick her up after the meeting.

But soon, a shadow fell in front of her. Su Qing looked up in confusion and saw Zhou Mu standing in front of her with a stern face.

“Su Qing, let’s go hang out one last time.”

After Zhao Xiaxia finished serving tea and water, and the parent-teacher meeting was halfway through, there was nothing left to do, so they were sent out by Head Teacher Li.

When Zhao Xiaxia and the others happily walked to the playground with their school bags, planning to find Su Qing and Ye Wangxing, they found something was wrong.

“Where’s Su Qing?”

Zhao Xiaxia looked around the playground, but there was no sign of the short-haired girl, and she immediately had a bad feeling.

Zhang Le ran another lap around and his expression darkened. “Not good, Zhou Mu isn’t here either.”

At that moment, Jiang Yue and Li Jun brought the worst news.

“—Ye Wangxing and the other two aren’t at school either!”

The “watching” four-person group exchanged glances and collectively let out a sharp, explosive sound.

“Damn it!”
