[Lin: People are high-level animals that seek benefits and avoid that which can harm them. It’s even easier to remember a person’s bad flaws rather than their good. Instead of thinking about how to make a good impression on others, it’s better to be yourself. There are never fewer worries. In fact the more you care, the worse things will be. On the other hand, if you don’t care, there will be no more worries. ]

*Sorry if I butchered this, but I tried my best to convey the full meaning across. Lemme know if you guys have a better way to word this

Xue Jiao takes a deep breath in, then spits it back out, and her mood turns unprecedentedly calm.

Then the corners of her lips tilted into a slight smile, “I didn’t think you are also a chicken soup man.”

*Chicken soup- provides comfort to the soul, usually some philosophical story or idiom

She put down her phone. Within a few minutes, she fell into a dream.

On Monday, Uncle Xing drove them to school.

Xue Jiao sits on the left of the back seat, and Cheng Mingze sits on the right. One looks out of the left window, the other looks out of the right window: both are silent.

“Today is the day the monthly results come out, isn’t it?” Uncle Xing suddenly voices.

“En ——”

“En ——”

Xue Jiao and Cheng Mingze both made a sound, they were stunned for a while, then they became silent again.

Cheng Mingze looks at the scenery passing by. He is a little distracted. He couldn’t understand very well. In the past, Gu Xuejiao didn’t like studying. The textbooks issued by the school were still brand new.

Every day, she dressed as a hideous mess. She either runs out the door or quarrels with Li Sitong at home.

At that time, Cheng Mingze only thought that how could there be such a hateful person in the world? Even looking at her is uncomfortable. 

Ever since she said she would change her attitude at the old house, it’s like she’s become a changed person.  She became serious about going to school and leaving school at the end of the day. Even at home, she spends most of her time studying at her desk.

The more he thought, the more he became lost in his thoughts, and his eyes unconsciously shifted over to Gu Xuejiao.

He didn’t know why, but looking at her clever and obedient appearance, he had an inexplicable feeling in his heart.

Being scrutinized by another person is undoubtedly very uncomfortable, especially when the other person’s gaze is full of suspicion and doubt.

“What is it?” Xue Jiao tilts her head to one side, and removes an earpiece, leaving the other side in so she can continue to study and read.

Hearing that her voice carried some frigidness, Cheng Mingze felt a little upset and almost subconsciously said, “Gu Xuejiao, aren’t you tired after pretending for such a long time? What are you actually up to? “

Xue Jiao was astonished and looked up at the opposite party: “What?”

Cheng Mingze has become slightly impatient, especially since he is being stared at by the other’s big, bright eyes. An inexplicable feeling rises in his heart, making his voice more irritable and impatient.

“I said, what’s the real reason why you’ve been pretending to be obedient and clever for so long? What are you trying to gain?”

Xue Jias laughed angrily: “Then what do you think I am pretending for?”

“It’ll be best if you don’t have any foolish ideas!”

The car slowly drove to the school gate. Xue Jiao pulled the door open and got off. Cheng Mingze was startled and then also opened the door and exited.

He wanted to pull Xue Jiao, but a voice came from the side.

“Sister, Mingze Ge!”
