"Teacher Qi," Liang Shi said, "I'm sorry to have reminded you of some unpleasant memories, but I don't regret our conversation today. I hope you can think about it carefully as well."
"The little girl has grown up. We can protect others, but the first thing we should protect is ourselves."
At this moment, Liang Shi's tone sounded more like a kindergarten teacher than Qi Jiao's.
They used a combination of coaxing and deception.
It must be said that this method does have an effect.
Qi Jiao fell into thought.
As she said goodbye to Qi Jiao and turned to leave, Qi Jiao suddenly called out to her, "Miss Liang."
Liang Shi turned around, his smile gentle, even more radiant than the fiery clouds at sunset. "Hmm?"
“Su Yu’s mother’s name isn’t Su Yao,” Qi Jiao said, bringing up another matter. “Her mother’s name is Su Mu, and she comes from a single-parent family.”

When Liang Shi returned to the car, Rainbow was engrossed in watching a movie.
She fastened her seatbelt, started the car, and casually asked Rainbow what she wanted to eat.
Rainbow thought for a moment, "How about a hamburger?"
Liang Shi: "..."
Why do children like to eat fast food?
But adults don't really want children to eat it.
But Liang Shi couldn't resist Rainbow's longing gaze, so he made a deal with her: she could only eat hamburgers and fries, and couldn't drink cola, or she wouldn't grow tall.
As the car drove away from the kindergarten gate, Liang Shigang turned on the car stereo, intending to play some music. However, less than five seconds after the intro started, a car suddenly drove out at the intersection.
They didn't use their turn signals or honk their horn.
It wasn't a turn; it simply drove out and forced Liang Shi to stop.
Fortunately, Liang Shi was driving slowly, but even so, he still couldn't brake in time and crashed into him.
There was only a slight impact sensation at the front of the car.
Liang Shi's whole body swayed forward, which almost made her heart stop.
She didn't care, but there was a five-year-old child behind her.
When Liang Shi saw the car and the people inside clearly, he slammed his hand on the steering wheel in anger, unbuckled his seatbelt and was about to get out of the car, but before getting out, he told Rainbow, "No matter what happens, don't get out of the car."
Rainbow has a thorough understanding of the rules of this world, probably because Zhou Li, after accepting her high intelligence, taught her a lot of knowledge that her peers didn't need to know.
"Should we call the traffic police?" Rainbow asked.
Liang Shi said, "Let's not use it for now."
The police have been called... how can I beat someone up now?
She slammed the car door shut, untied the hair tie from her wrist, and quickly tied her hair into a ponytail.
Cheng Ran got out of the car, stood in front of it, lit a cigarette, and her long brown wavy hair danced in the wind, making her look charming and alluring.
She looked at Liang Shi and smiled slightly, "Long time no see."
“Yes.” Liang Shi cracked his knuckles. “I almost didn’t get to see him again.”
If she had been driving even a little faster, we would have had to call 120 now.
She reasonably suspected that this was her destined bloodshed.
But she intends to shift the blame for this bloodshed onto others.
“You’ve changed so much…” Cheng Ran looked her over.
“Of course,” Liang Shi said. “Leaving behind bad friends and changing your circle will naturally make you much cleaner.”
Cheng Ran: "..."
Cheng Ran sneered, "You're quite the actor, Liang Shi."
"Not bad," Liang Shi said coldly, "not as good as you."
She originally didn't want to cause trouble in front of the children, and even if they bumped into each other, she planned to settle the score next time they met.
But now Cheng Ran is like a mad dog.
Car crash?
There's a five-year-old child in there!
Liang Shi was burning with rage. "Cheng Ran, are you crazy? If you want to die, jump off a building, take pills, drown, or jump off a cliff, no one will care. Stop harming others."
"You can die from a minor car accident?" Cheng Ran chuckled. "Miss Liang, you're too precious. Besides, didn't you lose your memory? A little accident might just cure you."
Liang Shi frowned, closed his eyes, clenched his fist, and threw a punch while Cheng Ran was still smiling.
Before she transmigrated here, she worked out and practiced Sanda and Muay Thai.
Although the original owner's body was weak, she could still run five kilometers after so many days of perseverance.
So this punch was much harder than the one Cheng Ran had thrown at her before.
Caught off guard by the attack, Cheng Ran looked up and said fiercely, "Liang Shi, are you fucking crazy?"
"I'm telling you this." Liang Shi said, throwing another punch. Cheng Ran raised her arm to block it, but she couldn't stop Liang Shi's other arm. Her movements were fast, accurate, and ruthless; she had put her whole strength into it.
"I haven't settled things with you about last time yet." Liang Shi approached her after punching her three times. "If you have any grudges between us, come at me. What kind of skill is it to mess with my wife?"
After being hit, Cheng Ran was initially angry, but now she laughed in anger.
She smiled and said, "What? Are you angry?"
Her smile was incredibly irritating.
Unable to hold back, Liang Shi punched her again, causing blood to flow from the corner of her mouth.
Cheng Ran wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. "Liang Shi, that's enough."
"I'll say the same thing to myself." Liang Shi repeated his words, then sneered, "Cheng Ran, if I were the only one in my car today, I could let this go, but there's a little kid in my car. No matter how despicable you are, don't touch a child."
Liang Shi was genuinely angry.
She stared coldly at Cheng Ran, "Also, if it's between us, come directly to me. Don't mess with my wife."
"I know everything about the Huayue International thing," Liang Shi said.
"Then do you know who the real mastermind is?" Cheng Ran revealed a crazy smile.
Liang Shi frowned but didn't reply.
After a few seconds of silence, Cheng Ran laughed, "You came to me without knowing anything, Liang Shi, you're still as reckless as ever. So why should bad people try to become good? It's too difficult."
“I’m just living a normal life,” Liang Shi said. “Perhaps you’ll never understand.”
"Hmm, you're so noble." Cheng Ran sneered. "Even if I were trash, I wouldn't stoop to harming your wife. As friends, it's pathetic that you can't even figure out who harmed you."
“Zhou Yi’an?” Liang Shi asked, raising an eyebrow.
Almost as soon as Cheng Ran uttered the words "mastermind," the name popped into Liang Shi's mind.
Seeing Cheng Ran's expression at that moment, he was certain.
Cheng Ran: "Not that stupid."
“But you’re an accomplice too,” Liang Shi said, throwing another punch at her.
All of Cheng Ran's resistance was nothing more than scratching an itch through her boot.
How could someone who is constantly indulging in a life of luxury and pleasure possibly be her match?
Thus, Liang Shi escaped unscathed from the fight.
By the end, Cheng Ran saw fear in her eyes whenever she saw her move.
After Liang Shi released her, he asked her, "Are you dissatisfied?"
Cheng Ran scoffed, "You son of a bitch."
“We can have a contest,” Liang Shi said. “Horse riding, archery, racing, dice. If you win, I will apologize to you. If you lose, you will apologize to Xu Qingzhu and take responsibility for your actions.”
Cheng Ran rejected the idea first, thinking she was crazy.
Liang Shi was not good at any of the above sports in the past, and he always lost in friendly matches.
But now she's shamelessly saying she wants a one-on-one fight, which is absolutely laughable.
Liang Shi said, "If you don't want to compete, that's fine too. Just go and apologize to Xu Qingzhu."
"impossible."
After a long while, Cheng Ran stared at her, her eyes filled with a hint of coldness. "Are you serious?"
Liang Shi nodded: "Yes."
Cheng Ran's fingers traced the body of her Starry Sea car. After thinking for a moment, she asked, "Liang Shi, after the competition, we really won't be friends anymore."
There was still a hint of lingering affection in her voice.
Liang Shi said, "We haven't been friends for a long time. In fact, we've been enemies ever since you touched my wife."
Cheng Ran was speechless. "Is Xu Qingzhu that important?"
"Would I get married if it weren't important?" Liang Shi retorted, then asked, "Are we going to compare?"
Cheng Ran: "..."
After some time, Cheng Ran said, "Let's have an archery contest."
//
The rules of archery are that both sides wear helmets with apples placed on them.
Let's see who has the better aim and can hit the apple.
The part of the helmet that covers the face is transparent.
This method is very difficult.
It was something the original owner used to play pranks on people when she and Cheng Ran were fooling around together.
