Chapter 7 — Going Through Books, Being Stupid, Still Studying Mind-Reading Gods

To Nha screamed. Giang Tu shrugged.

"I'm just adding logic. Whose drawing is this..."

He turned to look at me.

"Lam Hi, come up here and receive my 'pan-turning divine weapon'."

I sighed and threw the melon seed shells into the trash. Slowly walk onto the stage.

"Sorry everyone, I just drew this for fun. I want to invent a robot that stirs rice automatically. After all, people take it for granted."

I took the pen and erased the lines Giang Tu edited. Restore real parameters.

“But if we change this parameter…”

I started making inferences on the screen. A few minutes later, a complete model of the heavy machinery appeared. Tight structure, perfect figures.

“This will be a truly high-performance excavator.

Increase mining efficiency by 30%, reduce energy consumption by 20%. The old professor jumped up.

“This… is truly a genius design!”

The sound of applause was loud. To Nha stood next to her, completely turning into the background. Stealing chickens is no longer a good thing, but losing a handful of rice becomes the laughing stock of the entire hall. I looked at her collapsed face, but there was no wavering in my heart. I even wanted to laugh: 「I told you, the side line was drawn wrong. Also... don't tease technical people, especially those who want to drive excavators。」 Giang Tu stood next to me and whispered:

“So cool. My excavator queen.”

I slipped and almost fell. This name... can it be more rustic?

To Nha refused to admit defeat. After returning to school, she turned completely black. She spread rumors everywhere: saying I was sponsored, saying my grades were bought, even saying my drawings were stolen national secrets. Rumors are becoming more and more false. But I don't care. Because my mind... is all on Giang Tu. That evening, Giang Tu stopped me at the stadium. The moonlight is beautiful, the air is very enough.

“Lam Hi, let's talk a bit.”

“What to say? Excavator or stirrer?”

I tried to avoid it. Giang Tu approached, forcing me between the pull-up bar and him.

"Tell me, who are you?"

My heart skipped a beat.

"I'm Lam Hi."

“No.”

His eyes were sharp as knives.

“At first, Lam Hi couldn't even solve the first-order equation with two unknowns.

And you—know topology, know nonlinear dynamics, even know how to design heavy machinery.”

“Most importantly—”

He pointed to his head.

"I heard your voice. That voice... is not the old Lam Hi's."

I can't hide it anymore. If you've been overturned, that's it, just say it straight.

“That's right, I'm not her. I'm a cross-book person.”

"I come from another world. Here I'm just a passerby. Complete the mission and go."

Hearing the word "go", Giang Tu's pupils shrank sharply. He grabbed my wrist tightly.

“Go? Where to?”

"About my world. There is air conditioning, wifi, watermelon, and..."

“Don't go.”

Giang Tu interrupted me. His voice trembled slightly.

"Once you've arrived, don't leave."

“Where do you rely on me?”

“Based on… I like you.”

I was suddenly confessed to and couldn't react in time. My head exploded like fireworks. 「Fuck! The male lead confessed his love to me? What about the female lead? The plot has collapsed!」 Giang Tu heard it and burst out laughing.

“What the hell is the plot? I just need you.”

He leaned down and kissed me. A punitive kiss. Dominant, hot, not allowed to refuse. I was kissed until I was dizzy and my mind was foggy. At that moment— a sharp scream tore through the air.

“LAM HI! I KILL YOU!”

To Nha held a paper knife and rushed out from the darkness. Messy hair, bloodshot eyes. Obviously crazy.

“The system says just kill you, I will take back your luck! I will become the heroine!”

She brandished a knife and rushed forward. Giang Tu reacted extremely quickly, pulling me back. But still a beat slow. The blade sliced through his arm. Blood stained the white shirt red.

“Giang Tu!!”

I shouted. Seeing the blood— the thread of reason inside me suddenly snapped. Dare to touch my body? I kicked To Nha hard in the stomach. This kick, I used ten percent of my strength. She screamed miserably, flew two meters away, and the knife fell to the ground. I jumped up, straddled her, and slapped her left and right repeatedly. Pop! Pop! Pop!

“Want to be the female lead? Want to kill someone? I think you have too little homework!”

Just hit and curse. To Nha was beaten until she was stunned. A shrill warning sounded in her head: 【WARNING! WARNING! THE HOST'S BEHAVIOR IS A SERIOUS VIOLATION! SYSTEM PREPARED TO SEPARATE!】

“No! Don't go! System save me!”

Useless. A flash of electricity flashed. To Nha rolled her eyes and fainted. I gasped and stopped. Turn to look at Giang Tu. He held his injured arm and leaned against the pull-up bar. Face pale. But the eyes looking at me... were so bright and scary.

“Nice blow.”

He laughed. Tears welled up in my eyes.

“Are you stupid! What can I do to help? I couldn't avoid it in time!”

Giang Tu used his uninjured hand to wipe my tears.

“It's just an instinctive reflex. Pay attention next time.”

“What about next time?!”

I was so angry that I wanted to bite him. But I know— at this moment, I'm really screwed. Don't want to go back anymore. Even without wifi... I still want to stay in the world with you. END
