Lin Yao played the blame - shifting game skillfully.
The little dumpling was still preoccupied with this issue the next day. As soon as she got to school, she started pestering Wei Ziqi with questions.
However, Wei Ziqi simply felt that Shao Rong had ulterior motives. It was just an intuitive guess. Without substantial evidence, he wouldn't engage in gossiping behind others' backs. So he just kept his mouth shut and evaded.
Finally, Cheng Ruan saved Wei Ziqi from this plight.
“Just to tell you to be careful not to be deceived. Let me tell you, Miaomiao. You should really listen to Wei Ziqi more. That Shao Rong had only been here for the second day, and I already heard a lot of people saying behind your back that you're arrogant and unwilling to be friends with the poor. It was all because of her crying after just a few words yesterday. I think she did it on purpose, deliberately ruining our image and trying to interfere in our friendship as girlfriends.”
“Classmate Cheng Ruan, you're only in the first grade of primary school and just turned seven... Is it really okay for you to think about all these messy things every day?”
Yao Mingxuan complained helplessly.
Although he also had some conspiracy theories about Shao Rong yesterday and still disliked her now, after thinking it over at home, he still felt that his speculation didn't match Shao Rong's age at all.
For kids like them who had been educated by their parents since childhood, it was normal to be a bit precocious under the influence of various things, to think more than normal kids and have more complex thoughts.
Especially for someone like him who had suffered from gossips and the malice of other kids since kindergarten, he was even more precocious.
But Shao Rong was a poor student. Her living environment made it impossible for her to learn these scheming tricks so early.
Yao Mingxuan now thought that maybe Shao Rong was just simply prone to crying and had no other bad intentions. But this incident had indeed had an impact on them, which didn't stop him from disliking her.
“I don't care. I don't want to listen. I'm just so annoyed with her. That's how it's always shown in TV dramas. The vicious female supporting character pretends to be weak and pitiful just to frame the female lead. Well, I don't care. Anyway, a woman's intuition is very accurate. Just listen to me.”
Actually, Cheng Ruan couldn't really explain why she disliked Shao Rong so much. Her father was a direct descendant of a European noble family, and the education she had received since childhood was to be proud but polite.
So for people she didn't have any feelings for or didn't like much, Cheng Ruan would choose to be politely distant.
This was the first time she couldn't hold back her noble upbringing and resisted someone.
“I've always told you to watch fewer idol dramas. If you keep watching, you'll probably think everyone is a vicious female supporting character.” Yao Mingxuan smiled helplessly.
“Not really. I'll always think Miaomiao is the heroic lady!~”
Cheng Ruan retorted loudly, then turned around and hugged Miaomiao tightly, rubbing against her happily.
Yao Mingxuan was already used to this kind of daily scene. Cheng Ruan was always so enthusiastic towards Miaomiao.
“I think she's not normal.” Seeing that Cheng Ruan was about to lead Miaomiao astray, Wei Ziqi finally couldn't help but speak up and express his thoughts.
“What's not normal?” Yao Mingxuan was a bit confused.
“Her purpose is too obvious. Many people went to talk to her during the break, but she bypassed them all.”
Wei Ziqi hit the nail on the head.
Shao Rong was quite cute in appearance, and her self - introduction was lively and generous. Most kids were appearance - conscious and liked cute people, especially the girls.
So as soon as the first class was over yesterday, many boys and girls went to make friends with her.
But Shao Rong just ignored everyone and went straight to Miaomiao. She started crying after just a few words.
This kind of behavior... was somehow awkward.
Miaomiao might not understand what Wei Ziqi said, but Yao Mingxuan and Cheng Ruan almost instantly understood.
Strong purpose = having other motives = ill - intentioned
“Ah, forget about her. Anyway, we don't want to play with her. Just avoid her. Miaomiao, my mom brought me a lot of apples this morning. I can't eat them all. You guys help me finish them.”
Yao Mingxuan didn't want the little dumpling to understand the darkness of human nature and intrigue so early, so he quickly changed the subject.
In their hearts, Miaomiao was like a simple and carefree little sun. No matter how high her fighting power was, she should be protected.
It's better not to let the little dumpling hear too many of these thought - provoking things.
Although according to the little dumpling's way of thinking, she might never understand these things in her life.
“However, I'm a bit curious. How did you get into our school, Wei Ziqi?” Cheng Ruan asked with a strong sense of curiosity while munching on the apple she got.
“I got 200 in the IQ test and self - taught all the primary school courses, so I was admitted.”
“What?? Then why don't you skip a grade? Isn't it boring for you to learn such basic stuff with us every day? My tutor has already started teaching me the textbooks for the fourth grade of primary school. I'm so bored listening to the teacher teach one plus one every day.”
Cheng Ruan was shocked. She didn't quite understand the concept of an IQ of 200, but she could understand what self - teaching all the primary school courses meant.
After all, under the continuous education of various high - quality tutors, she had only reached the fourth - grade textbooks. Self - teaching all the primary school courses must be very difficult.
“Wow, you're so amazing. I've only learned up to the second semester of the fourth grade.” Yao Mingxuan couldn't help but express his admiration. His family was very strict about his studies, with all kinds of encouragement and early - education development, but he still couldn't catch up with someone who self - taught.
“I don't skip a grade because there's a scholarship every year.” Wei Ziqi calmly closed the book in his hand. His purpose of coming to this school was money. The school also promised that as long as he could win awards in various competitions, there would not only be competition prizes but also special school - set bonuses.
Such good treatment was only available in this primary school in the whole city.
Staying one more year meant getting one more year's worth of money. Only a fool would skip a grade.
“Awesome. You're a good example of being thrifty. Hey, don't be stingy with the apples. I've got more. Take a few more.”
Yao Mingxuan gave Wei Ziqi a thumbs - up, extremely impressed. He kindly stuffed a few more apples into Wei Ziqi's hands, afraid that he would be reluctant to eat.
There was a genius right beside him. It would be so cool to tell others.
“Miaomiao! Stop staring. Your saliva is about to flow out!”
After stuffing the apples into Wei Ziqi's hands, Yao Mingxuan wanted to give the remaining apples to the little dumpling. But when he turned around, he saw the little dumpling looking at Wei Ziqi with starry eyes, wearing an adoring expression. She was holding a half - eaten apple and smiling stupidly.
The little dumpling ignored Yao Mingxuan's reminder and just stared directly at Wei Ziqi.
As a newbie in primary school who hadn't even digested all the kindergarten knowledge, nothing was more attractive than a top student.
Miaomiao had her first day of class yesterday. Just listening to the teacher teach the most basic first - grade primary school knowledge made her feel extremely frustrated.
After a while, the little dumpling stretched out her hand and offered the half - eaten apple. She grinned brightly and shouted, “Seeking advice!~~~ Seeking salvation~~~”
