I Get Stronger When Called Up - Chapter 15

“Fang Qimai, you don’t need to worry about who took those pictures… The important thing is that someone told me that you two have been seeing each other for a while, and the evidence was taken last night. Do you have anything to say?”

Fang Qimai replied, “I don’t have much to say, but everyone else does.”

“Hmm?”

Xue Baogai was taken aback.

At that moment, a slightly chubby boy stood up.

It was Niu Jichao.

Niu Jichao pushed up his glasses and said, “I can prove that Qimai is a single dog!”

[Ding! You have been called by your best friend Niu Jichao, reward: Master of Moonwalk skill!]

…

Fang Qimai smiled; in a critical moment, it was still this best friend who stood up for him.

Niu Jichao loved to practice moonwalking in his spare time, but no matter how hard he tried, his feet remained uncoordinated.

Unexpectedly, by mastering this new skill, he had directly helped Fang Qimai.

Fang Qimai gave him a thumbs up.

However, this acknowledgement sounded a bit… uncomfortable.

“Uh…”

Niu Jichao had excellent grades, so to a certain extent, Xue Baogai would listen to him.

But he knew that Fang Qimai and Niu Jichao had a close relationship, which would raise suspicions of favouritism; he couldn’t be a witness.

Unexpectedly, the biology Class Rep, Ruan Meng, stood up shyly and said, “Teacher… I can also testify…”

Fang Qimai’s lips curved into a smile.

Not bad! Even this usually delicate, shy girl was speaking up for him.

Liu Meimei breathed a sigh of relief, glad that it wasn’t true…

Then, Liu Meimei also raised her hand, “Teacher, I can also prove my fellow student’s innocence; he really is a single dog.

Fang Qimai:…As it became clear that these few people were clarifying things for Fang Qimai and Xiao Bixue, the truth of the matter gradually emerged. Xiao Bixue felt a little more at ease.

Xue Baogai couldn’t help but look at Li Hongzhe. Cold sweat was pouring down Li Hongzhe’s face; if it turned out that this matter was fabricated, it would prove that he had deceived the teacher. But at this moment, there was nothing he could do.

Fang Qimai also realised that this time, Xue Baogai had been tricked by Li Hongzhe. “Hongzhe, come to my office after class.”

After saying that, Xue Baogai wanted to leave.

Fang Qimai was not going to let it end there. He understood Xue Baogai’s character; he would never lower his face to admit his arbitrariness and shortcomings. “Wait a minute, Teacher.”

Xue Baogai stopped.

Fang Qimai continued, “By the way, who stops your son from smoking, drinking and fighting? It’s his girlfriend! And who reminds your daughter every day to dress warmly, study hard and not get too close to other boys? It’s her boyfriend! So dating is not a bad thing.

The whole class:!!!

“Oh my, Brother Mai really lives up to being a talent of our class, a role model for us all, he always speaks amazingly!”

“Wow! This logic is unsurpassed!”

“Brother Mai, just perfect, I’m impressed!”

“This is really like Little Cow riding a motorcycle – so amazing!”

“Confusion Value of Xue Baogai: +13”

Just then, the class bell rang, and Xue Baogai was furious as he shouted, “Everyone, concentrate on your lessons! Fang Qimai, have your parents come after school today!”

Fang Qimai shrugged his shoulders, he didn’t have any parents.

Meanwhile, the instigator, Li Hongzhe, was on the verge of a breakdown. After failing to team up with Jiang Zejian to take down Fang Qimai yesterday, he had resorted to this strategy to punish him, only to get Xue Baogai into trouble instead. The worst part was that he would have no idea how to face Xue Baogai after the class. It was a cold situation.

Later, during the lunch break.

Fang Qimai danced to the Moonwalk, humming the divine song ‘Buttercup’.

“Let go~ boiled egg will hurt the liver~ hold my pillow~”

“Damn it~ drinking soybean oil hurts the liver~ I’m your dad~”

His entire demeanour was extravagant, and his steps were incredibly smooth, making him quite a sight to behold. This was the charm of the “Master of Moonwalking” that attracted the attention of many.

Niu Jichao was excited, “Amazing, Qimai, you can do this too! I’ve been studying for so long, and I still can’t do it! When will you teach me?”

Fang Qimai glided over to Li Hongzhe’s side. Li Hongzhe was startled; feeling guilty, he didn’t dare look Fang Qimai in the eye.

Bang, bang, bang!

Although he didn’t say anything, Li Hongzhe understood that Fang Qimai had found out that he was the one who slandered him. It was also a warning.

Then Fang Qimai said to Xiao Bixue, “Let’s go, School Beauty Xiao. We’re going to eat.”

“Eat?” Li Hongzhe was surprised.

Fang Qimai replied, “Yes, School Beauty Xiao is treating me to a meal.”

“Bixue, you’re inviting him to eat?”

Xiao Bixue nodded slightly.

Even though they were currently at the centre of a controversy, Xiao Bixue wanted to avoid Fang Qimai to avoid any further misunderstandings. However, since they had already agreed, she felt she should treat him to show her gratitude.

Niu Jichao laughed from the side, “This is like a group of Little Cows crossing a single log bridge – one impressive feat after another!”

He suddenly brightened as he patted Fang Qimai’s shoulder, “So it turns out that the person treating you is Xiao Bixue… Hehe! Go on, go on, I won’t blame you for focusing more on romance than friendship. Good luck!”

Li Hongzhe felt extremely annoyed.

He had been sitting next to Bixue for so long and had never gone out to dinner with her, let alone had her invite him to dinner. What did Fang Qimai deserve for Xiao Bixue to invite him?

But he still felt guilty about what had happened that morning, so he didn’t dare say a word.

“Confusion Value of Li Hongzhe, +6”

Fang Qimai asked deliberately, “Class Rep, will you join us this time?”

“I…”

Fang Qimai continued to press, “Class Rep, are you shy to join us?”

“Damn…”

…

As they walked down the street, Xiao Bixue suddenly said, “There are too many classmates in the cafeteria, let’s eat outside instead…”

“What’s wrong with having a lot of classmates?”

“That thing from this morning…” Xiao Bixue said quietly, “Everyone thinks… we’re… dating…”

Fang Qimai suddenly stopped, “Why should we care what others think?”

Xiao Bixue was taken aback.

Fang Qimai added, “Come on, let’s go eat spicy hot pot.”

“Okay…” Xiao Bixue quickly caught up.

…

Arriving at the Spicy Hot Pot restaurant, the two of them finished ordering their food, and finally, Xiao Bixue scanned the code to pay the bill.

“Boss Lady, the money has been transferred.”

“Alright!”

At that moment, someone suddenly shouted, “Oh, isn’t that the beautiful Xiao?”

Xiao Bixue gave him a look.

Then the person turned to Fang Qimai and said, “You little keeper, living off her? Are you so broke that Xiao Bixue has to treat you?”

“Heh!” With a cold smile, he continued, “Who do you think you are to say that?”
