When Mi Le and Zuoqiu Mingxu arrived at the volleyball team, they saw all the members of the volleyball team lying on the ground in the same posture, looking particularly enchanting.
Everyone’s bodies lay on the ground, one leg lifted and placed on top of the other leg, with their hands pressing their knees. If they exposed one shoulder, it would be the classic seductive posture in TV dramas.
“It seems like they’re stretching their muscles,” Zuoqiu Mingxu explained in a quiet voice, after seeing Mi Le freeze for a moment.
“I know.” His face remained expressionless.
“Although I know, I still want to laugh.”
“…” Mi Le also wanted to laugh a bit, but he maintained it very well.
Tong Yi saw the two of them and immediately jumped up, with astonishing jumping ability. Without using his hand to support himself, he stood up and walked over to question Mi Le: “You won’t let it go, will you?”
Had Mi Le come to their place to report to the coach again?
“Our work has already been completed. If you don’t need to cooperate, you all can handle the basketball game by yourselves,” Mi Le responded coldly. He wasn’t willing to participate to begin with.
Tong Yi realized that he had misunderstood. He nodded and then called out: “Li Xin.”
Li Xin immediately got up and followed him over, smiling as he looked at the two of them and said: “You came. Um… shall I pour you all a glass of water?”
“No need. We’re just going to say a few words and leave,” Mi Le replied.
“Okay, your presence is a great honor! A great honor!”
210 cm made Zuoqiu Mingxu laugh. He followed 210 cm to the seats, discussed their part of the work, and asked about the sports department’s thoughts and how to organize it.
180 cm followed over fiercely. He kept glaring at Mi Le, like a puppy baring its teeth as a show of strength. In reality, when paired with his baby face, there was no deterrent power at all.
Mi Le didn’t pay any attention to him. After handing over the work, he left.
“We will print out the registration form and send it over to you,” Zuoqiu Mingxu said.
“Sorry for the inconvenience. We’ve started training here. Otherwise, we could also go to pick it up.” 210 cm remained polite. Because his attitude was respectful, he was even bowing a little.
He was really too tall.
“It’s okay. Our office is not far from your training center. Do you see the building in front? Our building is the one facing the artificial lake.” Zuoqiu Mingxu pointed as he introduced it.
“It is quite close.”
Mi Le left with Zuoqiu Mingxu. He modified the registration form according to the ideas of the sports departments and then printed it out.
After printing it out, Zuoqiu Mingxu received a WeChat message. He looked at his phone screen and hesitated for a moment before saying: “Papa.”
“Mm.” Usually when he called Mi Le this, he was asking for something from Mi Le, and Mi Le was quite calm.
“My queen is calling me.”
“Go ahead.”
“Don’t fight when you go alone.”
Mi Le finished organizing the form before looking at him, asking: “Do you think I’m stupid? They have so many people, and I’ll go to challenge them alone?”
“That’s true…” Zuoqiu Mingxu waved his phone and said to him: “Then I’m leaving. My partner has a temper. If I go late, she’ll break up with me.”
“Okay.”
After Mi Le finished organizing the registration form, he took it and went to the volleyball courts again.
At this time, the volleyball courts had already started training. They were playing a practice match. When he walked in, he just happened to see Tong Yi jump up at an extremely fast speed and then smash the ball over the net.
It hit the ground with a “bang!” and then bounced and flew out a long distance.
The strength with which he hit it could be imagined.
When he played volleyball, Tong Yi looked different from his usual carefree and casual demeanor.
At this time, Tong Yi had a great aura and an invincible posture.
Perhaps it was because his nose bridge was really high, that Tong Yi’s eyes looked very deep. When he stared at the other side seriously, his eyes were completely cold.
There was no friendship.
Only victory.
His eyes could sufficiently tell everything.
“School grass!” Ye Xiya walked over to Mi Le’s side and called out. She smiled very excitedly. She really wanted to reach out and touch him. It was really Mi Le…
“Hello,” Mi Le responded coldly.
“Are you here for Tong Yi?”
“Yes.”
Ye Xiya pointed to the registration form: “I heard Li Xin talk about it before. You can just give me the form.”
“Are you also in the sports department?”
“No, I’m not. I’m just from the women’s volleyball team next door. I occasionally come over to help, and I’m considered the team manager. I usually help out here and there. Tong Yi is in the sports department, and he has two secretaries, Li Xin and me.”
“Oh.”
After Ye Xiya took the registration forms, she saw that Mi Le was still watching the game. Thus, she asked: “Isn’t Tong Yi quite handsome when playing volleyball?”
Mi Le: “…”
“Li Xin is a setter. They used to be from the same school and partnered for many years. They were signed by our school and came in together. In the competition that just ended, our Tong Yi was the best ace spiker and MVP! Li Xin was the best setter, and our H University was also the top university team in the whole country. Isn’t it amazing?”
Mi Le turned to look at Ye Xiy and asked: “Doesn’t the women’s volleyball team need to train?”

Mi Le thought for a moment and nodded: “Sure.”
Then, he took out his phone and prepared to add Ye Xiya as a friend on WeChat.
“Hey! Can you casually add the goddess of our volleyball team as a friend?” 180 cm seemed to have noticed them long ago and immediately came up to them.
Ye Xiya was annoyed and quickly stopped 180 cm: “Don’t make trouble. It’s not easy for me to add the god as a friend!”
“No, I don’t agree!” 180 cm refused.
Mi Le looked at the two of them and put down his phone, asking: “Then to whom am I going to hand over work?”
“Me, me, me!” Ye Xiya kicked 180 cm away. Judging from her posture, she shouldn’t be playing volleyball, but rather soccer.
Tong Yi’s competition was interrupted, so he walked over. He grabbed his own bag from the clutter on the side and took out his phone: “Contact me.”
“Oh.” And then the two of them added each other as friends.
After Mi Le left, Ye Xiya cried out: “Ahhhh! Si Li, you ruined my good luck!”
“Don’t worry about it. If a boy with such a bad personality really dated, he would be a trashy boyfriend.”
“I don’t want to date at all. How could he possibly like me? The school flower was beside him for a whole year, but there weren’t any sparks. That’s Mi Le! Mi Le ahhhhh!”
Ye Xiya walked up to Tong Yi: “Ge, give me Mi Le’s WeChat number.”
“No, you’re still young. You can’t date,” Tong Yi replied, smiling particularly kindly and as though asking for a beating.
The volleyball team hit on female classmates all day, but they were outrageously protective of their own girls. They didn’t date those in their own circle, and they didn’t allow others to do so either.
Ye Xiya decided once again that she would resign and quit!
Tong Yi tapped at the screen and messed with it for a while before finishing.
“Yi Ge, what are you doing?” 180 cm asked Tong Yi.
“Posting a moment.” After Tong Yi finished replying, he put his phone back into his bag.
180 cm grabbed his own bag and took out his phone to take a look. Tong Yi didn’t update his moments!
He didn’t send it successfully, did he?
After Mi Le left, he happened to open WeChat and glanced at Tong Yi’s moments. The latest post was from a few minutes ago: You, precisely you! Fuck your uncle!
Mi Le looked at the screen and rolled his eyes, putting his phone in his pocket.
This person really was annoying.
After Mi Le finished class, he still needed to go to the drama club and watch them rehearse.
Although he was also a sophomore this year and some of them were his seniors, Mi Le had a lot of practical experience. The experience of debuting as a child star was naturally no joke. Many people were willing to receive Mi Le’s guidance.
Mi Le was not a titular club president. As long as he had time, he would definitely come and take a look, and he could be considered dutiful.
After returning from the club, when he walked into the dorm and pushed the door open, he heard the sound of beer bottles rolling around.
Mi Le: “…”
He pushed the door and walked in, and saw that the dorm was indeed a mess. There were piles of side dishes on a small square table in the middle of the dorm and beer bottles all over the ground.
He then looked at his own desk. There was nothing on it, but the chair was moved in front of the small square table.
There was no one else in the dorm. Only the smell of alcohol that filled the room remained, as well as even the smell of stinky feet.
He looked at the dorm with a little helplessness.
Were sports students all so undisciplined nowadays after they finished competing? He’d thought that athletes didn’t drink alcohol.
He walked in and entered the restroom, preparing to wash. He then saw that the safe he had left by the sink had fallen into the sink.
When he righted and opened it, he saw that the lid of the seaweed face mask was open and had spilled everywhere.
After raising his hand and rubbing his brow, Mi Le silently tidied up.
He seemed to feel that a line in his head had snapped.
That was his bottom line.
After washing up, Mi Le returned to his desk and took out his makeup, starting to apply makeup.
This time, it was not his typical everyday makeup, but rather theatrical makeup. By the time Tong Yi and Li Xin returned, Mi Le had already finished applying most of it.
After Tong Yi came in, he went to the bathroom to wash his feet and was still chatting with Li Xin. Li Xin, on the other hand, started tidying up the dorm like a housekeeper.
“Did Xuesheng come to my dorm and take off his shoes? Why is the room so smelly?” Tong Yi asked after entering.
“It seems like he took it off. The window is open, but it’s no use.”
“Those things of his are like a biological weapon, not dispersing for a long time. If perfume could remain as long as that, it would definitely be like a cockroach among perfume.
Mi Le lowered his head and sent a text, and then he kept staring at his phone. Upon seeing the message from Zuoqiu Mingxu, he stood up and said: “Tong Yi, I have something to tell you.”
Tong Yi stuck his head out and looked, then walked over wearing slippers and asked: “What’s up?”
Immediately afterwards, he realized that something was wrong with Mi Le.
There seemed to be a wound at the corner of Mi Le’s mouth, with some faint bloodstains and a bruise on his cheekbone. It looked like he had been beaten.
Mi Le saw Tong Yi come over and reached out to grab Tong Yi, so that Tong Yi was standing facing him. Then he backed up abruptly, colliding with the cabinet and letting out a loud noise.
Tong Yi blankly watched Mi Le convulse, his expression bewildered: “???”
At that time, someone suddenly burst into the room. Upon seeing this scene, Zuoqiu Mingxu immediately questioned Tong Yi: “Why are you hitting him?”
Tong Yi turned his head to look at Zuoqiu Mingxu, still puzzled: “What?”
There was also a resident assistant following behind Zuoqiu Mingxu, as well as a member of the student union. If Tong Yi remembered correctly, this person was from the housing management department.
The resident assistant came in and shouted: “Stop!”
This shout intimidated both Tong Yi and Li Xin. It really was a resounding cry.
Tong Yi and Li Xin had practically the exact same baffled expression.
At this moment, Mi Le stood up straight and raised his hand to wipe the corners of his mouth. Blood stains stuck to the back of his head. He raised his head and glared at Tong Yi, and the rims of his eyes were actually red.
Tong Yi almost believed that he had hit Mi Le just now.
“I’m fine,” Mi Le said.
“You’re still fine? You’re already bleeding!” the resident assistant cried dramatically.
Tong Yi finally came back to his senses and pointed at Mi Le, saying: “I didn’t hit him. I also don’t know who hit him, but he’s so annoying that there must be many people who want to beat him.”
“We all saw it just now. If it wasn’t you, could it be that Mi Le hit himself?” the resident assistant asked.
“What’s the matter with you all?” the member of the student union asked as well.
“They were drinking in the dorm and it got very dirty, so I complained a bit. I didn’t expect to make him angry,” Mi Le told the resident assistant.
Tong Yi was shocked. What the hell was this?
“You… you told me just now to speak with you. You didn’t say anything… I didn’t touch you!” Tong Yi stammered an explanation. He was really caught off guard by everything that was happening.
“I thought that if I gave in, things could smooth over in this dorm. I didn’t expect it to still end up like this.” After Mi Le finished speaking, he unexpectedly burst into tears.
He wasn’t crying loudly, but rather really wanted to hold it in. However, because he had really suffered, his tears fell uncontrollably.
Tong Yi turned his head and looked at Mi Le, truly amazed.
He was witnessing acting with his own eyes for the first time, and he was even in the very front row. He was actually seeing it without buying a ticket, and he was the one who saw it most clearly.
But…
Why did he feel so suffocated while watching?
He was the one being framed!
“This must be reported to the counselor, as well as your coach. Even excellent students cannot be lawless!” The resident assistant was furious.
A few days ago, Mi Le ran to his room. He said that the dorm was too noisy, and he needed to read his script quietly. The resident assistant already knew about some of the bad conduct in Room 438.
The resident assistant knew before about the level of mischief among this group of sports students, and his impression of them naturally got even worse.
Today, Zuoqiu Mingxu suddenly found them and said that Room 438 had already escalated into violence. He hoped that they could go and stop it.
The resident assistant really liked Mi Le. When seeing that Mi Le was actually beaten, he was very angry.
Upon hearing this, Tong Yi panicked and hurriedly stopped them: “Don’t, don’t, don’t! I really didn’t do anything. Don’t tell my coach.”
He also knew that this thing was really indisputable.
There was no surveillance in the dorm, and the only eyewitness was Li Xin. Right now, Li Xin foolishly hadn’t reacted yet. If he really helped Tong Yi testify, they would be accused of matching their stories.
The most annoying thing was that Mi Le knew how to act, so that it really looked like that had happened.
With the scene just now, as well as the sound of Mi Le bumping into the cabinet, this group of people had thoroughly made up their minds on this matter. Unless Mi Le himself admitted it, it was really difficult to clearly explain this matter.
Really fucking… disgusting!
“I’ll call right now!” The resident assistant was furious and thought for a moment before saying, “No, I’ll contact them tomorrow.”
He didn’t have those people’s contact information, and he could only reach them tomorrow.
“Student Tong Yi, you’ve really gone too far this time,” the student union member said as well.
Tong Yi’s temper instantly flared. He turned his head to look at Mi Le and cursed: “Why is a drama queen like you so cunning?”
“I just hope for a good dorm environment,” Mi Le replied pitifully. When he spoke, his tears were still falling, and he looked particularly pitiful.
Tong Yi was originally very angry, but seeing Mi Le cry like this, he calmed down again.
It was especially lacking in principles.
“Setting three rules, right? Okay, okay, okay. Don’t do this. I’ll promise you,” Tong Yi quickly compromised.
“Are you sure?”
“A real man never goes back on his words. If nothing else, I’ll write a letter of guarantee for you later, okay?”
Mi Le stared at Tong Yi for a moment, then nodded and said to the resident assistant: “Teacher, I don’t want to make a big fuss about this matter. I’m an artist. If this really gets out, there will be negative news about the school, which will cause a negative impact.”
Mi Le didn’t plan to make a big fuss from the beginning.
He had long understood the resident assistant’s personality. He had the personality of turning big problems into small problems and dismissing small problems altogether. The student he had invited was also a peacemaker, who would at most give a few words of advice.
He couldn’t settle it with Tong Yi by talking and discussing. They repeatedly challenged his position, so he had to change his approach.
Upon hearing this, the resident assistant also hesitated.
Mi Le’s influence was really powerful. If it really were to get out, Mi Le’s fans would probably come to the school to make a fuss.
“Then… what should we do?” the resident assistant asked.
“Since he is willing to get along with me, let’s forget about this matter for now. I’m fine.”
The resident assistant was still quite conflicted. Zuoqiu Mingxu saw that Mi Le had achieved his goal, and he also came over to persuade and collaborate with Mi Le.
Finally, under the monitoring of the group of people, Tong Yi wrote a letter of guarantee with great aggrievance and even stamped his fingerprint.
After everyone had left, Zuoqiu Mingxu came back to ask Tong Yi with a smile: “Can we still work together in peace about the basketball game?”
“I’m afraid not,” Tong Yi replied gloomily, even glaring at Mi Le.
Zuoqiu Mingxu quickly explained: “I’m just a crowd actor.”
Tong Yi: “Fuck!”
If it weren’t for the coach warning him that if he committed another offense, the consequences would be very serious and even affect his future, he definitely would not have admitted to this accusation.
He didn’t do anything to begin with. He wasn’t the one who caused the injury on Mi Le’s face!
But if he didn’t compromise, there was no guarantee that Mi Le wouldn’t cause some other trouble.
“If you all had listened from the beginning, I wouldn’t have done this either,” Mi Le replied.
Tong Yi sneered: “You fucking reported the fight between us to my coach and reaped the benefits, didn’t you? You’re even threatening me with this?”
Mi Le was a bit surprised and explained: “I wasn’t aware of this. My parents probably did it without notifying me.”
“Like parents, like children.”
Mi Le was silent for a while after hearing this. Zuoqiu Mingxu cleared his throat, planning to urge Mi Le. After all, he knew about Mi Le’s family affairs.
However, he heard Mi Le say: “However, even if you were reported, you deserved it, because they were threatened because of this matter.”
Tong Yi sat in the dorm for a long while and cursed: “Fuck, it’s really fucking unfair.”
Mi Le waved his hand at Zuoqiu Mingxu, signaling that he could leave now.
Zuoqiu Mingxu immediately ran away, afraid of getting blood all over himself.
Tong Yi was very angry and went to the hallway to call Papa Tong.
“Dad! I’ve been wronged. Living in this dorm is making me oppressed. Buy a piece of land next to my new school and build a villa for me to live in!”
After hearing this, Papa Tong became angry: “Look at you, even buying a piece of land for you. Why don’t you buy the school? If you smoke a cigarette on the grave at home, could you exaggerate it into an ancestral grave because you’re letting out smoke? Going to school is not enough for you to flaunt. Just because you play volleyball, do you really think that you’re the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li?”
“No, I was tricked by my roommate. I was so wronged.” After hearing Papa Tong’s diss, Tong Yi was extremely aggrieved.
“It’s okay if you’re tricked by others. You’re just tall without that many brains. From the first day that I saw you were obtuse, I knew that one day, society would teach you how to conduct yourself. If you’re really angry, then fight back. At worst, don’t play basketball and come back to inherit our family’s wealth. Our family got many more mines.”
“I don’t want to be the boss.”
“You’re already in your twenties. Can you be more realistic? Isn’t it enough to have money?”
“Dad, I’m nineteen years old this year.”
“Ah… you’re not yet twenty? Then what birthday did I celebrate with you before?”
“Eighteenth.”
“…”
“…”
“…”
“…”
“Can you be more accomplished and work hard? Strive to be twenty years old earlier?” Papa Tong asked again.
“No… Can I work hard to reach twenty years old?”
“I can’t count on you for anything. You can’t even catch up in age.”
“Forget it, Dad. I’ll take care of it myself. You should go to bed early.”
Tong Yi hung up the phone and sighed. His father seemed even less reliable than himself.
