Pei Qi's dislike for me won't change just because I transferred schools.

In fact, she has become even more relentless.

The more I avoid her, the more persistent she becomes.

It's the same today.

The basketball court is a must-pass route to the cafeteria.

There are plenty of boys cheering for Pei Qi.

I hear the sound of the basketball hitting the ground, and I lift my foot to protect my head, intending to run.

But it's already too late.

"Bang—"

The expected pain doesn't come.

I turn my head and freeze in place.

I see Li Xiaoran rushing over from somewhere, lifting her arm to block me, allowing the basketball to hit her.

And the ball falls to the ground.

Pei Qi runs over in two or three steps and says coldly,

"Li Xiaoran, are you crazy?"
