Oh shit.
It was just a step away, and although my deskmate did the right thing, I was still annoyed.
I'm so annoyed.
“…Thank you.” Xiang Yu ground his back teeth in anger, and before his mind had cleared up, he gave a rare reply in a voice only the two of them could hear.
The police car drove away with its siren blaring, leaving behind a trail of exhaust fumes.
Gu Chen stood there staring at the car's retreating figure, occasionally chuckling to himself.
"He actually said thank you. This little hero is so polite."
Summer days always seem to end slowly, and the last rays of the setting sun illuminate the wispy clouds on the horizon. The dim light reflects in the boy's eyes, adding a touch of loneliness and melancholy to his cool and aloof appearance.
When Xiang Yu left the police station, it was already past 6 p.m. At his request and considering the actual situation, the police gave up on publicly commending him, but said that they still needed to inform the school and his parents. He did not refuse and gave them the name of the new school he had transferred to and his mother's contact information.
I had just had a chance to check my phone when I saw a dozen missed calls and more than thirty WeChat messages listed on the screen.
These all come from the same person.
Tsk, I forgot about that.
Xiang Yu pressed his temples, considering whether to call back, when the number dialed again.
Connected.
"Holy crap, cousin, you finally answered the phone! Where the hell have you been?!"
Li Yifan roared on the other end of the phone.
"Why didn't you answer my call! Did you know someone got stabbed at Shengshi?! I was so scared! Thank goodness it wasn't you who got stabbed!" The person on the other end was very emotional, and their voice cracked as they spoke.
"I've been riding my electric scooter all over the place looking for you! Where are you?!"
He ignored her for three sentences, which made Xiang Yu's scalp tingle. Holding his phone, he slowly looked at the large words behind him and remained silent for a while.
"Fuxing Road Police Station".
"Okay, I'll be right there—" The voice on the other end abruptly stopped, and the next second, a trembling voice asked incredulously, "Where...did you mean?"
"Fuxing Road Police Station".
Repeat it again, and you'll hear the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground opposite you, accompanied by a shout of "Damn it!" not far away.
Xiang Yu frowned.
Are you riding a bike? Be careful.
"I stopped, I stopped... Cousin," Li Yifan stopped his electric scooter by the roadside, picked up his phone, looked around to make sure no one was paying attention, and then, afraid of leaking sound, covered the phone and asked furtively, "You're not the one who stabbed someone, are you?"
Xiang Yu: "......"
What kind of people did I meet today?
"Cousin, cousin, why aren't you saying anything? You, you... Don't panic, confess and I'll call my parents to bail you out."
Li Yifan was on the verge of tears. He subconsciously thought he had guessed correctly, and a sense of guilt overwhelmed him. He felt that his cousin was to blame for stabbing him.
He was so engrossed in playing games that afternoon that he forgot all about picking someone up the moment he said he was going to pick someone up, and then his own jungler started a team fight. By the time he realized it, more than half an hour had passed.
He even lied to his cousin, saying there was a traffic jam on the road, but it was only a short distance of about half an hour for non-motorized vehicles, so what was the traffic jam?
He's guilty; he said he hadn't even left the house when the traffic jam started.
"Cousin, cousin, don't be afraid. My parents know a lot of people; there's bound to be someone inside who can get things out of there—"
"I didn't stab anyone. Are you coming or not? If not, I'm taking a taxi and leaving." Xiang Yu was already quite irritable after what happened all afternoon. He interrupted the other person and continued, "Give me your home address."
"Hey, no, no, I'll come get you. Just stay where you are!" Hearing Xiang Yu say that he hadn't stabbed anyone, Li Yifan's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, instantly settled down. He didn't even bother to ask why the other person was at the police station. He rode his electric scooter there as fast as he could, not daring to delay for even a second, for fear that something else might happen.

When Li Yifan appeared in sight with the things he had acquired in Shengshi, Xiang Yu didn't believe that this thing could seat two people.
The footrest of the electric scooter was crammed with all sorts of things. In order to get a grip on the handlebars, Li Yifan stretched his body out so long that his buttocks were almost sticking out. He was lying on his stomach, suspended in mid-air, and only managed to stay upright by supporting himself with his hands, buttocks and feet.
"Cousin, come quick! My mom just called and said dinner's ready. She wants us to hurry up." After saying that, Li Yifan moved forward a little, leaving just enough space for his thighs to stretch out behind him, all under Xiang Yu's shocked gaze.
"......"
Xiang Yu stared silently at that spot for a long time without moving.
Li Yifan was getting tired of maintaining this position. Seeing that Xiang Yu hadn't gotten into the car yet, he couldn't help but urge, "Cousin, hurry up, it's really uncomfortable to stay in this position."
"......"
"Hey, don't worry, I ride my bike very steadily. My hands, feet, and hips form a triangle as three support points. My mom says you're a top student, and you know triangles are stable, right?"
System: That seems to make sense.
"......"
That makes no sense at all. I really hope he doesn't know what a triangle is.

Chapter Two: Gu Chen: Fate Brings Us Together
When he got home, Xiangyu's hands were bruised from the shopping bags on the pedals. Not wanting to keep his aunt's family waiting, he finally gave up walking and got on the electric scooter.
In order to have a seat, he carried his things the whole way, making the little electric scooter unbalanced and causing it to tip over several times.
The system's warnings kept ringing the whole way, and he was eventually penalized 3 points in his moral index for improper riding.
There are 50 points left, just barely above the passing mark.
After the notification tone ended, Xiang Yu belatedly realized why he hadn't asked for an address and had taken a taxi himself, leaving that idiot Li Yifan to enjoy himself alone on his electric scooter.
Oh shit.
My mind has been foggy all afternoon. What a great start with 40 morality points, ruined by some idiot who suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Xiang Yu grew angrier the more he thought about it. He couldn't sleep, tossing and turning in bed, his mind filled with the details of the mall. If he had insisted on leaving back then, no one could have stopped him.
Suddenly, a face became clear in my mind.
"system?"
I have some questions to ask Xiangyu.
-System: In
The system responded quickly, so it must have been idle here and hadn't left.
"You mentioned someone with a very high moral character during the day. How high is his moral character?"
Talking about this system gets me really excited.
System: 80! 80! 80!
"So tall?" Xiang Yu sat up abruptly, instantly becoming alert.
When the Heavenly Dao System bound him, it explained the Morality Value system, which has a maximum of 100 and a minimum of 50.
The four constellations were originally people on the verge of death. The system bound them and gave them vitality and some attribute bonuses. As the White Tiger constellation, Xiang Yu's crazy high combat value is inseparable from the system's support. Similarly, he must hand over 50 morality points every month as a supply to the system. If the supply is insufficient, the system will deduct luck points and life points. At best, he will be unlucky; at worst, he will be paralyzed or die.
After death, the system searches for the next constellation, and so on in a cycle.
For ordinary people, the influence of their morality score is negligible; the system can only judge whether a person is good or bad through the morality index.
For example, Li Yifan's parents work in a hospital, and both of them have a morality score of over 60, which is due to the bonus from the special nature of their profession.
The boy who looked like a student during the day actually had a morality score of 80, which is extremely rare.
The system clearly shows a bias towards people with high moral character.
The system message reads: "Sigh, I really want to see him again."
"..."
The system continued to hint: I really want to.
"..." β Fang Huo Ri Gong Shui Lin Shi Qu
Xiang Yu remained silent and lay down.
Thanks for the invitation, but I don't want to.

The next morning, the news of the transfer student was like a depth charge, causing a huge uproar in Class 2 of the Chinese Language Department of Xinfeng No. 1.
Zhang Boyuan rushed into the classroom with firsthand information about the transfer students, and under the watchful eyes of a room full of female students, he managed to squeeze out four pieces of information.
"Male, over 180cm, academically gifted, and handsome!"
One message after another, and the whole class of girls was in an uproar.
"What did I tell you? It has to be a handsome guy!"
"There are too many monks and not enough porridge, sisters, I'll go first!"
"Why rush? Can't we just let the new student be beautiful on her own and feast our eyes?"
"Looking at handsome guys gives me motivation to study, hehe."
"Waaaaah, Mom asked me why I've fallen in love with studying!"
The girls in Class 2 were sitting near the front and were quite noisy. The boys in the back were either doing their homework or playing on their phones, not even looking up, and didn't seem interested in the topic.
Wang Zehao had two math workbooks spread out in front of him, and he copied them down quickly while complaining, "Is it really necessary for a guy like me? If we're talking about handsome guys, it has to be my brother Chen. Why aren't they infatuated with my brother Chen?"
“They know your brother Chen has a heart full of love, and with so many beauties around, they don’t want to be the one to cause trouble.” Yang Shuhuan, playing on her phone, casually replied upon hearing this, then couldn’t help but glance at the back of the person slumped over in the front seat, lowering her voice to ask, “Brother Chen can actually be this sleepy? What did he do last night?”
"Hey, it wasn't last night, it was yesterday afternoon." Wang Zehao and Gu Chen lived across the street from each other and went to school together in the morning. He overheard a few words on the way.
"She said she met someone she liked yesterday afternoon and was so excited she couldn't sleep all night."
"Damn?" Yang Shuhuan perked up immediately, put down his phone, and asked, "What does she look like? Is she pretty? Which school does she go to?"
Wang Zehao glanced at him, puzzled, after his three consecutive questions: "I don't know, why don't you wake up Brother Chen and ask him?"
"Never mind then," Yang Shuhuan said dejectedly, as if she had hit a wall. "I need to use my brain to listen to lectures, I can't take in Brother Chen's rambling."
