After leaving the alley behind the Internet café, Qin Siyang didn't go home.
Leaving was just a disguise.
He hid on the other side of the Internet café and listened intently to the rustling footsteps in the alley.
Liu Dazhi was leaving.
He concealed himself and quietly followed Liu Dazhi.
Although Liu Dazhi was on high alert, watching out for any followers, Qin Siyang never came into his line of sight.
He used his sharp hearing to detect Liu Dazhi's position, carefully followed behind, and kept a distance from him so that he couldn't be seen.
After Liu Dazhi opened the door to his home, Qin Siyang firmly memorized the location in his mind before quietly leaving.
When Qin Siyang got home, his mind was filled with Liu Dazhi's threats.
"The timed - sent email is really a tough problem."
He didn't know much about Liu Dazhi, so he had no idea how he had set up the timed - sent email.
Which email service did he use? How many email accounts? And when did he adjust the delay time for sending?
Qin Siyang didn't know the answers to these questions.
It would be easy to kill Liu Dazhi, but it would be extremely difficult to keep his secret from being exposed after that. One slight mistake, and all his previous efforts would go down the drain.
"I can't let the glorious start of my new life be ruined by Liu Dazhi."
He needed to come up with a plan as soon as possible to eliminate the threat of Liu Dazhi.
At night, after washing the lunch boxes that had piled up over the weekend, he took a cold shower and went to bed.
Early the next morning, Qin Siyang put on his clothes, had breakfast, and glanced at the calendar on the table.
[Blue Star Era, January 4th, 2010]
[Western Calendar, Monday]
[Lunar Calendar, Year of the Ox, November 20th. It is suitable for planting and not suitable for weddings.]
He went out and prepared to go to school.
However, he had burned his schoolbag and didn't have a spare one, so he put a few lunch boxes in a cloth bag and left.
As for the textbooks for class? He had no idea where he had thrown them.
He didn't need that kind of stuff.
After going out, Qin Siyang took a detour to the Internet café, passed by the entrance, and deliberately avoided the camera at the door.
Through the door of the Internet café, he saw Liu Dazhi still sitting at the bar at the entrance.
Liu Dazhi was staring intently at the computer screen, with a tense yet excited expression on his face. His hands were quickly tapping on the keyboard. Qin Siyang didn't know what game he was so engrossed in playing.
Completely absorbed in the game, Liu Dazhi didn't notice Qin Siyang passing by.
Qin Siyang took a look at Liu Dazhi, then turned around and left, heading straight for school.
Today didn't seem to be a good day to kill Liu Dazhi.
"It makes sense that the almanac didn't say it was suitable for burial today."
On school days, there were a few more people on the main road at the edge of the safe zone than on weekends, which were usually empty.
Many students were walking in groups.
Qin Siyang walked alone and didn't greet anyone.
When he reached the school gate, he noticed several adults standing there, inspecting the school.
Qin Siyang recognized them as the principal of [Ju'an School] and several leading teachers beside him.
He wondered what had gotten into the principal to suddenly decide to do an inspection at the school gate today.
Maybe it was just his personality. He liked to show his presence from time to time.
"Good morning, Principal!"
"Good morning, Principal!"
The students all greeted the principal actively, and the principal responded with a smile.
Qin Siyang ignored him and walked straight through the school gate.
Qin Siyang's ignoring of him made the principal lose face. The principal's eyes followed Qin Siyang, and his brows furrowed slightly.
A subordinate always needed to understand the boss's every move. The teacher beside the principal immediately noticed the principal's dissatisfaction.
A quick - witted teacher saw this and immediately shouted at Qin Siyang, "You! Stop!"
The students all turned around. When they saw that the teacher was pointing at Qin Siyang, they minded their own business and continued walking to their classrooms.
Qin Siyang looked straight at the teacher. "What's the matter?"
"Why didn't you greet the principal when you saw him? Don't you know the principle of respecting teachers and elders?!"
Looking at the teacher acting like a loyal dog to protect the principal's face, Qin Siyang sneered inwardly. His fingers twitched uncontrollably, as if he wanted to clench his fists.
When one has the means to kill, the urge to kill arises.
After killing someone, his mindset had changed. He really wanted to simply punch this teacher and show him what he thought of "respecting teachers and elders".
But then the disgusting smile of Liu Dazhi immediately appeared in Qin Siyang's mind.
No, he had to be patient a little longer.
If he punched the teacher now, he would have to reveal that he was a sequence ability user, and he might be further threatened by Liu Dazhi.
He had to wait until after killing Liu Dazhi to do anything.
Fortunately, Qin Siyang had endured a lot in his previous life, so pretending to be submissive came easily to him.
He immediately put on an apologetic smile. "Sorry, teacher. I didn't sleep well last night and didn't notice the principal standing here. Good morning, Principal! Good morning, teacher!"
The principal smiled magnanimously, as if he didn't care at all that Qin Siyang hadn't greeted him. Then he said, "Get a good rest in the future. It's okay. Go to class."
"Thank you, Principal."
"Wait!" The teacher called Qin Siyang to a halt again.
"Why aren't you carrying a schoolbag? What's in that bag you're holding? Let me see."
This teacher seemed eager to show his sharp observation skills in front of the principal. He snatched the bag from Qin Siyang's hand and opened it to look inside.
"Why are there only lunch boxes? Where are your textbooks? Didn't you do your homework over the weekend?"
Qin Siyang was annoyed by the teacher's nagging. What was the use of textbooks? Studying was just a waste of time. Did the teacher have any idea how many students could get into the colleges established by the United Government each year?
Didn't the school leaders know all the top students in the grade? They should just focus on cultivating their top students and stop making things difficult for an ordinary student like him.
However, in the face of the teacher's stern questioning, Qin Siyang once again suppressed the urge to punch the teacher senseless.
Each time he endured, his hatred for Liu Dazhi grew deeper.
Just as Qin Siyang was about to speak, a girl's voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Teacher, Qin Siyang went to a classmate's house for tutoring with me over the weekend. He left his textbooks at the classmate's house. I've agreed with the classmate to bring the books for him today."
Qin Siyang looked back and was surprised to find that it was Li Jingwen speaking up for him.
"Hmm? Is that so?"
Qin Siyang didn't know why Li Jingwen was helping him out, but he nodded along. "Yes, it is."
The teacher looked suspiciously at the two of them. Not seeing any romantic feelings in Qin Siyang's eyes, he knew there was no sign of puppy love between them, so he let them go.
"Thank you, teacher."
"Thank you, teacher!"
Qin Siyang also noticed the teacher's scrutinizing look, which made him scoff even more.
This lousy school still tried to crack down on puppy love? Who were they trying to impress?
Anyway, most students would go to work after graduating from high school. It would be perfect to fall in love now and get married after graduation, so they could fully devote themselves to work.
He didn't understand why there were so many boring rules in [Ju'an School], a place with such a low enrollment rate.
Li Jingwen quickened her pace, came to Qin Siyang's side, and walked shoulder - to - shoulder with him.
"Qin Siyang, don't you think you should say something to me?"
Qin Siyang looked at Li Jingwen, whose smile was bright, and said indifferently, "Do you think I should say thank you?"
"I helped you. It's only right for you to say thank you, isn't it?"
"Back then, when I brought you breakfast and did your homework for you, you never said thank you. You just said it was a test of our relationship."
"Just think of it as a test for you this time. Of course, I'm not testing whether you're suitable to date me, but whether you still have a bit of humanity."
The smile on Li Jingwen's face froze for a moment, then she switched to a somewhat coquettish tone. "I didn't do well before. You helped me, and I've helped you. Let's just call it even, okay? Your cold words really hurt my feelings."
Call it even?
Qin Siyang found it laughable.
In his memory, he often stayed up late to do Li Jingwen's homework and always went hungry to bring her breakfast.
Could one insignificant act of helping him out really make up for all that?
His efforts really seemed so worthless in Li Jingwen's eyes.
Fortunately, after being reborn, he had stopped his losses in time.
Calling it even was fine. After clearing the score, he could completely cut off contact with Li Jingwen and stop feeling disgusted every time he saw her.
"Okay. It's even."
"Since it's even, let's start over. Qin Siyang, I'll be more proactive with you from now on. Can you..."
"Can I continue to bring you breakfast and do your homework?"
Hearing Qin Siyang cut in, Li Jingwen didn't understand the accusing tone in his words at all. Thinking he had agreed, she nodded with a smile. "Yes, please. I really love seeing you care about me. You're my motivation for the whole day! I find I can't live without you."
Then, she showed a smile that she thought would charm Qin Siyang.
This cheesy confession was something Li Jingwen and her best friend had discussed over the weekend. Based on their understanding of Qin Siyang, they were sure they could win him over.
But Qin Siyang just said calmly, "Li Jingwen, there's a question I've always wanted to ask you."
"Tell me. If I know the answer, I'll definitely tell you!"
"Why do you keep trying to deceive me? Aren't there any other male classmates willing to be your lapdog?"
Li Jingwen didn't expect Qin Siyang to say this and was momentarily speechless. "You... What do you mean?"
"If you want to chase Zhou Yang, work hard on your own. Stop trying to use me, okay?"
"You asked me to bring breakfast for him while you wanted me to do it for you. You wanted to compare answers with him and asked me to write it for you. Why don't I just marry him instead?"
Qin Siyang's extremely merciless words exposed Li Jingwen's true intentions, leaving her a bit flustered and shocked.
"Li Jingwen, stop pestering me. Find another lapdog to do your homework. If you bother me again..."
Qin Siyang showed a contemptuous smile.
"You don't want Zhou Yang to know about this, do you?"
