Cold War

Zhou Feng looked at her dirty face. Her tears had left two black marks on her dusty face, and there were bloodstains on her chin. Her eyes were filled with worry.

Miao Dong sighed and said, "I'm fine. Pass me that glucose first. I have to nourish myself first."

"Oh, oh, oh." Zhou Feng quickly unscrewed the glucose and handed it to her.

Miao Dong felt that his appearance was very funny. She had never seen Zhou Feng so flustered before. She thought that this guy would always be cold and indifferent, so she couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't look like you did something wrong. How are you going to explain this scene when the students come back later?"

Zhou Feng pursed his lips and didn't speak.

Miao Dong knew that if he didn't let him do anything now, he would definitely feel guilty for the entire night.

"Why don't you go to the canteen and buy me a cup of porridge? I want pumpkin millet porridge."

Zhou Feng nodded and immediately ran out.

Miao Dong looked at his dazed expression and a certain part of her heart suddenly softened.

At this moment, the system notified her, "Ding, health points +500."

The system notification was like a demonic sound that pulled her back to reality. She thought of what the system had said. This was only a book world. Every character had their own persona that would not change.

Miao Dong suddenly felt sad.

Zhou Feng's persona was violent and twisted. He was a perverted murderer who killed his father and his father's mistress knife by knife. He would also continue down this path. There was no way to change it.

But he was so gentle, so delicate. He should have been a shining youth. He should have unleashed his brilliance in this world.

How could the author bear to let such a young man walk down a path of no return!

If he really took revenge, he would only live in endless pain and guilt for the rest of his life.

Why couldn't such a bright young man live happily forever?

At this moment, Miao Dong suddenly made a bold decision.

Even if there was the worst outcome, she only wanted to save him at this moment. She wanted to use all her understanding of this world to gamble on Zhou Feng's future fate.

Perhaps there would be a good outcome. Another heinous person would replace Zhou Feng and complete those unreasonable storylines. As for Zhou Feng, he would pull away and live wantonly in places that were not covered by the original book.

She wanted this young man to live under the sun forever!

Zhou Feng bought porridge for Miao Dong, but he seemed to have changed. He became as distant and cold as before. He ignored Miao Dong when she spoke to him.

After the evening self-study session, he left directly. Usually, he would come back at 9:30 p.m., but today, he didn't come back until past 10 p.m.

Miao Dong wanted to ask, but Zhou Feng's cold expression made her unable to.

The screen that had stood between them, after a brief day's removal, had returned to its original position, isolating their lives once again.

The little interaction between the two of them had completely turned into zero.

Before Miao Dong could figure out what was wrong with Zhou Feng, another uninvited guest came knocking on the door.

Shen Ming appeared at the entrance of Miao Dong's dormitory almost early in the morning, holding the buns and porridge he had prepared.

Miao Dong was not mentally prepared at all. When she opened the door, she was shocked to see Shen Ming standing at the door with an ugly smile.

"Big Brother, if you really don't know how to smile, can you not smile?" Miao Dong complained.

Shen Ming pursed his lips awkwardly before returning to normal. "I was just thinking that it would make us closer this way."

"We don't need to be close." Miao Dong carried her bag and walked towards the classroom.

Shen Ming followed behind her and handed her the porridge and buns in his hand. "Eat your breakfast first."

Miao Dong glanced at him, but she didn't refuse. It would be a waste not to take something that was given to her for free.

Miao Dong took a big bite of the meat bun and said in a muffled voice, "You're unaccountably solicitous. You must be up to something. What's the matter?"

Shen Ming smiled foolishly. "I think what you said yesterday makes sense. I want you to tutor me."

Alarm bells rang in Miao Dong's mind. She didn't expect Shen Ming to really investigate this matter, so she was completely unprepared to see him so proactive now.

However, she also remembered the system's warning. Even if Shen Ming really wanted to work hard and change his persona, Miao Dong couldn't become his helper!

Therefore, Miao Dong immediately rejected Shen Ming. She stuffed the porridge that she had yet to drink back into Shen Ming's hands and ran away.
