"Oh come on, don’t be mad, this little thing, don’t be angry. Being angry makes you less pretty, Shuixuan is the most beautiful." Dai Shiqi tried to smooth things over for her friend Zhang Shuixuan.
Zhang Shuixuan finally showed a bit of a smile.
The next moment, a disdainful voice came through: "The most beautiful? Even flattery has its limits. Is the new student’s name Tianmiao? She’s miles ahead of you, don’t you realize it?"
"Wu Yihan, watch what you say." Zhang Shuixuan turned around to face a girl walking behind them.
"What? Telling a bit of truth makes our class monitor jumpy?" Wu Yihan sneered with her arms crossed.
"When did I compare myself with her? You’re the one who’s jealous, dragging others in. Ridiculous, just look at your face twisted with jealousy." Zhang Shuixuan sneered back.
"Zhang Shuixuan!" Wu Yihan’s face darkened.
Zhang Shuixuan ignored her, pulling Dai Shiqi away.
After Zhang Shuixuan and Dai Shiqi had gone far, Wu Yihan gritted her teeth and said, "That nasty woman."
"Yihan, should we mess with Dai Shiqi?" The girl standing on Wu Yihan’s left asked.
"Dai Shiqi acting like such a brown-noser all day, it’s really disgusting." The girl on the right mocked.
These two girls were Wu Yihan’s friends. One was named Lu Runjia and the other Lu Renyi. Both came from families with small companies that relied on Wu Yihan’s family business for contracts, so they stuck closely to Wu Yihan at school. They knew exactly how to act according to Wu Yihan’s mood. They couldn’t afford to provoke someone like Zhang Shuixuan, but Dai Shiqi, who had no background and got in due to special admission for her grades, was another story.
"No need, those two are very close. If we mess with Dai Shiqi, Zhang Shuixuan won’t let it go." Wu Yihan said irritably, "Let’s just ignore them for now."
Wu Yihan turned her head to look at the new student sitting in the back of the classroom through the window, her gaze deepening.
She just turned around and was planning to go to the restroom with her two friends when suddenly someone ran past her like the wind, bumping into her with great force, nearly knocking her to the ground. After identifying who ran past, she angrily questioned loudly, "Wei Ling, aren’t you going to apologize for bumping into someone?"
"Oh, sorry." came Wei Ling’s indifferent apology from the classroom door, followed by his eager voice, "Yingjun, where’s the beautiful transfer student you mentioned? Where? Oh my god! You finally did something right for once, telling the truth."
"Shh, can you lower your voice?" Li Yingjun covered his mouth and dragged him to the side.
"Mmm, let go. So beautiful, isn’t she? And her name sounds nice too, Tianmiao, Tianmiao!" Wei Ling excitedly pried open Li Yingjun’s hand, speaking in a hushed voice.
Wu Yihan stood still, watching Wei Ling and Li Yingjun’s actions, her face darkening. She slowly turned her head to look at Tianmiao, who was flipping through a book while sitting at her desk, her eyes growing colder.
In the next moment, a pair of icy eyes met hers.
Wu Yihan was startled, and upon a closer look, she saw nothing unusual. She only saw Tianmiao’s desk mate, Xi Linghe, talking to Tianmiao as they both flipped through a book, having a quiet conversation.
Was it just an illusion? Wu Yihan frowned, dismissing her thoughts. She headed to the restroom with her two friends.
During lunchtime, the school cafeteria offered free nutritious lunches. Of course, one could also go to the second floor to order extra dishes.
Gu Nanyu and his friends always chose the booth by the window on the second floor.
However, today, the three of them appeared in the first floor hall.
This surprised and puzzled many people.
