She doesn't want to pretend anymore

"Student Yan Manshu."

Yang Lili mustered up the courage to stop Manshu.

Manshu frowned and asked, "Classmate, what can I do for you?"

When she stopped him, naturally someone looked over.

Manshu was already a focus of attention, especially because of their identities: both were students from rural areas, and Yang Lili had been in the same class with them before.

Everyone also wondered whether Manshu would follow in Yang Lili's footsteps.

Now he was staring at the two of them with his gaze like a searchlight.

"Student Yan Manshu, can you please lend me a hand and talk?" Yang Lili glanced at Qin Gege cautiously. She actually seemed to be afraid of her?

If Manshu didn't know the princess well, he would have thought that the princess had done something to Yang Lili.

"No!" Qin Gege hugged Manshu's arm, "Student Yang Lili, if you have anything to say, just say it in person."

Yang Lili didn't expect Qin Gege to speak. She looked at Manshu with an embarrassed expression and a hint of condemnation in her eyes.

It was as if Manshu had betrayed her.

Manshu got goosebumps when she looked at him: "Student Yang Lili, if you don't tell me, we will go back to the classroom. Also, I remember that I didn't bully you, right?"

"No, no." Yang Lili didn't know why, but she felt frightened from the bottom of her heart when she met Manshu's gaze.

"The way you look at me, I thought I had bullied you before." Manshu said with hints of meaning.

The onlookers looked at Yang Lili again and were speechless.

Yan Manshu didn't do anything. Yang Lili took the initiative to talk to her, so why does she look so timid?

"I'm sorry." Yang Lili didn't know why Manshu had such a misunderstanding. Apart from apologizing, she didn't know what to say.

Her appearance of being bullied made Manshu completely at a loss for words.

"What have you done to offend me?"

If Li Jiayin bullied Yang Lili before, Manshu would still want to help her.

Now she could understand why Qin Gege stopped her from helping Yang Lili.

"No." Yang Lili shook her head like a rattle.

"Then why are you apologizing to me?" Manshu spread his hands, "Student Yang Lili, if you do this, I will think you are trying to scam me."

"Fake news?" Yang Lili opened her eyes wide, "I didn't do that! Yan Manshu, please don't slander me. Although I'm poor, I'm poor with dignity. How could I blackmail you for money?"

In Yang Lili's eyes, hitting someone's car is the same as extorting money.

For example, during the Chinese New Year, whenever a car passed through the town, old men and women would try to scam people and extort money.

Those people who want to have a good New Year but cannot earn money themselves have only this one way.

Yang Lili despised this kind of behavior, so she became unhappy when she heard Manshu say it was a scam.

This is slander!

"I know you're poor but strong, but you didn't do anything to offend me, but you apologized for no reason. Wouldn't this make people think I was bullying you?"

"Isn't this considered fraud?"

Manshu didn't expect that the other party didn't even understand what it meant to hit someone for money.

However, Yang Lili has such a strong self-esteem, why would she accept Li Jiayin's money and help her with homework and write self-criticisms?

Qin Gege also chimed in: "Yes, if you apologize right away, people who don't know will think that it was Manman who bullied you. Classmate Yang Lili, even though you are poor, that doesn't mean you are right."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yan Siyu appeared.

"Student Qin, Student Manshu, aren't you going too far by saying this about Student Yang Lili?"

It turned out that Yan Siyu was also eating in the cafeteria today. Next to her were Lin Wenya and two other girls that Manshu didn't know.

She started speaking up for Yang Lili right away, and Manshu raised his eyebrows.
