The backdrop can also be propped up.

Chapter 214 The Male Lead Takes a Break from School

"Jiang Hai also has the opportunity to go out during his leave of absence, right?" Lu Renkui confirmed with the system WQBYRZM.

"That's right. Jiang Hai would use the excuse that going out to relax would help treat his Hanahaki Syndrome, and then go out by himself. In reality, he would stalk Bai Xinyi on her social media to find out where she would go, and then wait there to create an unexpected encounter."

“Well, let’s tell Lan Xingtu Jiang Hai’s location in advance and have her keep an eye on him. She’s quite skilled at keeping Jiang Hai occupied,” Lu Renkui said.

“That’s right,” said the system WQBYRZM, “but do you really think this method is feasible?”

"No matter what, we have to give it a try first," Lu Renkui replied. "It's better than being passively dealt with by Jiang Hai. If we do well, we might be able to save Bai Xinyi from being stabbed to death."

System WQBYRZM listened and thought it was a good idea, as long as it didn't endanger Ying Meihua's personal safety.

After lunch break, most of the students were still asleep at their desks, with only a few remaining awake or getting up to get water.

Lu Renkui was part of the group that went to irrigate.

As Lu Renkui was filling up his water bottle, he bumped into Bai Xinyi, who was also filling up hers.

"Oh, what did you brew today?" Bai Xinyi curiously peeked over to see—Ying Meihua brewed tea every day, and it smelled so good that Bai Xinyi liked it very much.

"I made rose and lychee fruit tea today," Lu Renkui replied, glancing down at the table.

The two girls chatted for a while longer, and then Lu Renkui asked, seemingly casually, "Bai Xinyi, you know what? I feel like Jiang Hai looks at you differently."

"Huh? Does Jiang Hai see me differently?" Bai Xinyi asked with a smile. Many people had asked her how Jiang Hai treated her and whether he liked her, but Bai Xinyi felt that Jiang Hai probably didn't have those kinds of feelings for her.

The two didn't meet very often. In her previous life, Bai Xinyi's memory of Jiang Hai was that they played together a few times when they were young and then she hadn't seen him since. When they were in high school, they discussed a few problems and then she transferred to another class and they hadn't seen each other much since. Later, when they went to university, they were just classmates but majored in different fields.

So Bai Xinyi always felt that it was a bit strange if Jiang Hai liked her.

“Hmm, Jiang Hai seems to really like you,” Lu Renkui said. “I saw him fill his notebook with your name last time.”

"Huh? This..." Bai Xinyi had already realized something was wrong.

“Sometimes he even texted me saying that if Lu Changge and I continued to be friends with you, he would kill us both.” Lu Renkui pretended to be very scared.

Bai Xinyi realized the seriousness of the situation and hurriedly asked, "He texted you, right? Is someone setting you up? What number did he send it to?"

"Hmm, I didn't look at it carefully," Lu Renkui said. "When I first saw this message, I thought someone was joking. Can I tell you when I get back?"

"Oh, do you remember the first three digits of the number that sent you the text message?"

"Uh, let me think..." Lu Renkui pretended to think for a moment, but actually asked the system WQBYRZM if it could retrieve the male lead's phone number.

The system WQBYRZM has been switched, Lu Renkui replied: "It's 117."

Now Bai Xinyi was certain that Jiang Hai had sent the message to Ying Meihua. Jiang Hai's phone number had a very unusual beginning—at least it was rare among their generation.

"Okay, I'll talk to him about it when I get back." Bai Xinyi agreed, but in her heart she was wondering whether she should tell her parents about it.

"Should I send a message to Jiang Hai first?" Bai Xinyi thought.

“And I think I’m not wrong about Jiang Hai having someone he likes,” Lu Renkui said. “The last time he borrowed paper from me, I saw him spit out the flower petals.”

Bai Xinyi's eyes widened. She felt this was a serious matter—Hana-hachi disease could be fatal. Although there was medicine, it had to be taken as soon as possible, otherwise the effect would be greatly reduced.

"Don't Jiang Hai's parents care? Why don't I go back and talk to my parents about this?" Bai Xinyi made up her mind.

So after school, Bai Xinyi took a car home and went straight to the study to find her mother sitting at her desk typing on the computer.

"Mom, I'm back!" Bai Xinyi said. "I have something to tell you."

"My darling is back. What's up?" Bai Xinyi's mother clicked on the computer, and the screen went to the desktop. She then turned to face Bai Xinyi.

"Mom, do you still remember Jiang Hai? The Jiang Hai who used to play with me when we were little?" Bai Xinyi asked.

Hearing this, Bai Xinyi's mother straightened her coat and asked, "Why did you suddenly think of him?"

“Oh, he’s in my class now,” Bai Xinyi answered honestly.

“In your class.” Bai Xinyi’s mother pushed up her glasses; the reflective lenses prevented Bai Xinyi from seeing the emotions in her mother’s eyes.

"Yes, that's right. And then my classmate said he's got Hanahaki Disease, and his crush seems to be me," Bai Xinyi said, deliberately omitting Ying Meihua's name.

"How did your classmate find out?" Bai Xinyi's mother asked.

“She was sitting behind Jiang Hai before. She said she saw my name written on several pages of Jiang Hai’s notebook. She also said that Jiang Hai sent her threatening text messages because she was too close to me and was being threatened by Jiang Hai,” Bai Xinyi replied. She might not be able to do much with her current abilities, but with her mother’s help, things should be much easier.

“Hmm, he has Hanahaki Disease, and the person he has a crush on is you, right? So you want to…” Bai Xinyi’s mother pushed up her glasses.

“Mom, I remember you and Jiang Hai’s mother seem to have some connection,” Bai Xinyi said, fiddling with her fingers. “Could you talk to her about it? I feel like Jiang Hai has been suffering from Hanahaki Disease for a long time.”

“Okay, I understand,” Bai Xinyi’s mother said, reaching out to pat Bai Xinyi’s head. “Go play.”

"Okay, Mom," Bai Xinyi obediently left the study after being patted on the head.

Seeing her daughter leave the study, Bai Xinyi's mother immediately found Jiang Hai's mother's contact information on her phone and made a call: "Hello. Are you Jiang Hai's mother? I have something I'd like to talk to you about."

Jiang Hai, who had just returned home, hadn't even had a chance to carry out his plan to get Ying Meihua and Lu Changge away from Bai Xinyi when his mother dragged him into the living room and made him kneel down.

The next day, Lu Renkui heard from Teacher Wang that Jiang Hai had also dropped out of school.

"Holy crap, that's fast!" Lu Renkui looked at Bai Xinyi in surprise.

Bai Xinyi didn't seem to react much, sitting there as if she had just received a normal result.

The plan went surprisingly smoothly, Lu Renkui thought. Next, he should push Jiang Hai's accounts on various platforms to Lanxingtu.

After learning that Jiang Hai had dropped out of school and was staying at home, Bai Xinyi breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to think about how she could avoid being stabbed to death at her wedding.

It's still a long time before I get married, several years away. Will Jiang Hai be behind my death? As Bai Xinyi thought about this, her thoughts suddenly flooded out like a bursting dam.
