Chapter 4: Can

Keep acting!

Song Mo watched coldly, silently observing Chen Xi's performance.

The sound of a group entering the infirmary wasn't quiet; Chen Xi wasn't actually deaf—how could he not hear?

From the very start! This bastard has been faking it all along!

Song Mo was extremely familiar with Chen Xi's petty tricks; this dead-ass queen mastered the survival code of the green tea.

If not for the novel world, where he feared the women who, due to powerful plot inertia, would eventually be tied to Chen Xi, and feared their power.

Song Mo would have shown Chen Xi through action.

Even the most despicable scoundrel can be cured with two slaps!

If it doesn't work, give him two more slaps!

An Yinuo, seeing Chen Xi's tear-filled eyes, felt even more pity for him, thinking Chen Xi was truly pitiful—his bad background had left him constantly bullied.

No wonder he developed Yu Yu Syndrome.

At this moment, An Yinuo heard Song Mo's inner thoughts.

Song Mo actually wanted to hit Chen Xi?

Chen Xi is crying!

Is Song Mo even human?

An Yinuo's voice was choked with fury.

"Song Mo, what do you have to say for yourself now!"

"Did you also threaten Chen Xi?"

"I warn you—if you dare to settle scores later and harass Chen Xi, I won't care about our classmate ties anymore!"

"I, An Yinuo, am not someone to be trifled with!"

An Yinuo swore inwardly—Song Mo had become so used to being a little tyrant that he truly thought she had no power over him?

Song Mo could only bully Chen Xi.

The Song Family is merely a small clan with a hundred billion in assets; the An Family, however, is the local overlord of Modu—An Yinuo's father alone has personal assets reaching tens of billions.

An Yinuo truly wanted to deal with Song Mo.

Easily.

【This woman is truly idiotic to the extreme!】

【Can't she see? Chen Xi is clearly faking this pitiful act—I haven't even spoken to him twice, and he's already implying I'm bullying him?】

【Idiot woman, look around at the other students—how many are as stupid as you, believing everything someone says?】

Song Mo was getting angry, cursing An Yinuo inwardly.

But he still maintained his expression.

He smiled lightly.

He ignored An Yinuo.

Instead, he turned to Chen Xi.

"Chen Xi, I don't recall any conflict between us—why are you slandering me?"

Meeting Song Mo's smiling gaze, Chen Xi shuddered again, lowering his head meekly and whimpering:

"Song Mo, you're right—we have no conflict at all, and you've never bullied me…"

Song Mo had already anticipated Chen Xi's response.

He was about to speak.

An Yinuo's furious voice rang out.

"Song Mo! You've truly disappointed me!"

Is it really that hard to admit your mistake?

Why won't Song Mo apologize?

He even scorns Chen Xi in his heart!

He's calling me an idiot woman inside his head!

An Yinuo became like a furious lioness, her gaze blazing, eyes locked onto Song Mo.

"Song Mo, my patience has limits!"

Seeing An Yinuo lose her temper,

the onlookers fell silent; even the girl who had earlier defended Song Mo dared not provoke An Yinuo now.

The Modu An Family.

This isn't something to mess with…

Song Mo's gaze remained calm; facing An Yinuo's rage, he showed no panic.

After enduring inhuman torment, his blood had turned cold—threats and intimidation meant nothing.

"Chen Xi, that bastard, really is the protagonist."

"Starts with just a dog, gear drops everywhere…"

He's calling me a dog again in his head!

Don't think a clever metaphor makes it go over my head!

An Yinuo's patience finally snapped.

She pulled out her phone, ready to call home.

Call the school administration!

You think you're so high and mighty, Song Mo?

Then I'll just press down on your knees! I'll make you kneel and apologize!

Song Mo was silent for a moment, then said, "What, I don't even have the right to explain myself?"

An Yinuo scoffed, "The witness is right in front of you, what else do you have to say?"

"Song Mo, I'm giving you one last chance!"

"Right now! Immediately! This instant!"

"Apologize to classmate Chen Xi!"

A smile appeared on Song Mo's face.

It carried an unmistakable contempt.

"Classmate An Yinuo, from what position are you demanding that I apologize?"

"I'm class monitor! It's my duty to protect the vulnerable classmates!" An Yinuo said, all high and mighty.

"How noble and righteous of you."

Song Mo smiled faintly.

He didn't bother to argue further.

He directly asked Chen Xi, "May I ask, classmate Chen Xi, when did you go to the bathroom?"

"I…" Chen Xi glanced timidly at Song Mo.

Then looked at An Yinuo, and upon seeing An Yinuo's isolating gaze, he seemed to suddenly grow brave.

"I went to the bathroom after lunch break ended!"

"When I was in the bathroom, I heard Song Mo's voice, and when I tried to open the door, I found it had been locked from inside…"

Song Mo let out a cold laugh.

"Is that so? But I didn't go to the bathroom at all after lunch break ended!"

"Impossible! I clearly heard your voice!" Chen Xi grew a bit anxious, and looked pitifully at An Yinuo, saying, "I'm not lying, if you don't believe me you can check the surveillance cameras!"

This was the moment Song Mo had been waiting for.

"Fine! Check the surveillance!"

"Right now we're both just giving our own sides of the story, only the surveillance is fair and impartial!"

Chen Xi hadn't expected Song Mo to be completely unfazed.

But he was the one with a guilty conscience!

Chen Xi's face instantly turned deathly pale.

He actually fainted straight onto the sickbed!

"Chen Xi! Chen Xi!"

An Yinuo was frantic, hurriedly shaking Chen Xi's shoulders.

At the same time she shouted loudly, "Where's the school doctor? Get the school doctor over here, quick!"

The infirmary descended into chaos…

……

"Doctor, Chen Xi should be alright, right?"

An Yinuo asked the school doctor carefully.

In her heart she resented Song Mo even more.

She was determined to have her family teach Song Mo a lesson.

"He's been faking it the whole time, what could possibly be wrong with him?"

Song Mo's inner voice rang out.

An Yinuo was already long past being surprised by it.

She had already accepted the fact that Song Mo held a prejudice against Chen Xi.

Song Mo was just that kind of person.

Always fond of using his own petty mind to guess at others.

After the examination, the school doctor shook her head slightly.

"His body is perfectly healthy, at most he has a bit of low blood sugar."

The school doctor was named Lin Weiwei, a woman with a remarkably pure-looking face but an explosive figure.

This person was also one of the original novel's heroines.

Chen Xi had fainted this time and gotten to know her because of it.

From then on, he would always pretend to be sick and come to Lin Weiwei's place, racking his brains to flirt with her.

Lin Weiwei gave Song Mo a rather strange look.

Did this person just say something?

Was he saying that this classmate was faking it?

【Can't even tell if someone's fainting or not, this Lin Weiwei truly lives up to my opinion of her — big chest, no brains, everything she's learned over the years has gone straight to the dogs】

Lin Weiwei: "…"

She was a bit angry.

Who's she calling big-chest, no-brains?

So annoying!
