"Alright, Miss enjoys them, so I’ll go buy them right away. If I’m any later, the hairy crabs won’t be fresh anymore." Zhang Ma, while arranging Shangguan You’s breakfast, kept an eye on the ti. If she delayed, there would be no hairy crabs left by the ti she reached the suburbs.
"Thank you, Zhang Ma."
Watching Zhang Ma leave even earlier than she did, Shangguan You couldn’t help but smile gently. She casually grabbed so pastries, took them to her room, and then left the house.
News of Shangguan You’s bet with Yang Liwen had spread throughout the school. The mont she stepped onto campus, all eyes were on her. So scoffed at her overconfidence, so admired her audacity, and others called her foolish and stupid. There were looks of sympathy and pity too; in short, a whole spectrum of gazes followed her.
Shen Jia, Feng Shaoi, and a few others glared resentfully at her retreating figure, while Feng Shao’an, Han Yachu, and Lan Xuan regarded her with a mixture of confusion and bewildernt.
"Teacher Chen, I want to apply for a leave of absence from school." In the office, Shangguan You made her entrance again, her large glasses covering most of her face.
"What?" Teacher Chen cried out, shocked. "There’s only a month left before the exams! And she even had that bet with a teacher. This is a critical ti. How could she dare bring up taking a leave of absence now?"
"Shangguan You, actually, you could transfer to our class and study with our students. If you don’t understand sothing, you can ask your classmates or the teachers. It’s better than studying at ho alone," Li Ming, the horoom teacher of Senior Year Class Three, spoke up at the right mont. He had seen everything yesterday.
"That’s right. You should just join Teacher Li Ming’s class now. The material they are studying will be useful for you. As for taking a leave, I think it’s better to forget about it," Teacher Chen continued, following Li Ming’s lead. It would be such a waste if she were expelled for failing the exams.
"But, I want to..."
"There’s nothing more to say. It’s settled. Now, follow Teacher Li to his class." Teacher Chen gave Shangguan You no chance to object and directly had Li Ming lead her away.
"Youyou, you’re going to Class Three? I want to be with you," Zhu Li said, holding her hand reluctantly, her face full of dejection.
"Zhu Li, do you really think that’s necessary? Can you get into the university of your dreams that way?"
"I can’t."
"You know my situation. Studying doesn’t an much to . If I want to get into that university, I can. But it’s different for you. You should take things one step at a ti."
"But, Youyou, if you do this, won’t your parents..." Zhu Li began worriedly. Although her parents were wealthy, Shangguan You was an illegitimate daughter. Would her actions make her family even less accepting of her?
"Don’t worry." Shangguan You gave Zhu Li an assured look and turned to leave.
"Youyou, wait for !" Gui Mo’s flirtatious voice called out from behind her. Shangguan You quickened her pace; she really disliked that troubleso flirt, that self-important pretty boy.
A figure suddenly blocked her path. Shangguan You’s mouth twitched fiercely. She was dressed the sa as before. Back then, these n would keep as far away from her as possible. So why were they all flocking to her now? What on earth had changed?
"Youyou, wait for ."
"I’ve already transferred to Senior Year Class Three, and Student Gui Mo is in Senior Year Class One." Her aning was clear: What’s the use of you waiting? You should hurry back where you ca from. Go find a cool spot and stay there; don’t appear before again.
"Hehe, I ca especially for you. Without you here, it’s no fun for . So, Teacher Chen has agreed to let transfer to Senior Year Class Three as well. We’ll still be classmates," Gui Mo chuckled, his peach blossom eyes holding a calm gaze as he looked at Shangguan You.
Anyway, wherever you go, I’ll go too.
"Suit yourself," Shangguan You tossed out coldly, bypassing Gui Mo to leave.
"Youyou, wait for , okay?"
Gui Mo shalessly chased after her again.
「At the school gate」
Shangguan You’s slender figure leaned lazily against the wall. She was waiting for Lan Xuan. She was unfamiliar with B City.
The sunlight stretched their two shadows very long, and finally, Lan Xuan’s and Han Yachu’s handso faces appeared at the school gate.
"Lan Xuan," Shangguan You called out.
The two who had just walked out of the school gate stopped simultaneously, looking strangely at the person waiting for them. They had offered to help her study, but she hadn’t appreciated it and had ignored them. Why would she be waiting for them at the school gate now?
"Is there sothing you need from ?" Lan Xuan’s sunny face lifted into a gentle smile as he looked at the girl in glasses who, despite them, exuded Spiritual Power.
Han Yachu’s handso face also showed a flicker of deep thought.
"I need a favor," Shangguan You said directly, ignoring Lan Xuan’s smile.
"Oh, if I can help, I definitely will. Right, Han?" Lan Xuan’s face wore its trademark warm smile as he nudged the stoic Han Yachu beside him.
"Hmph," Han Yachu grunted coldly, an unusual light flickering in his icy eyes.
Hmph, if it weren’t for Zhuge Feng needing clothes and needing your help with sothing, do you think I’d be willing to look at your icy faces? n are all such self-important creatures!
In her previous life, Shen Cheng’s clothes were all custom-made by specialist designers. A new collection, always with matching sets, would be delivered each season. He never wore the clothes she bought for him, and in her past life, she hadn’t paid it much mind. Thinking about it now, if, as he claid, she was his enemy, then naturally he wouldn’t wear clothes she had personally chosen. But these words, ’his enemy’—where had they even co from?
At this thought, a bitter smile couldn’t help but touch her lips.
"What’s the matter?" Lan Xuan’s gentle voice sounded. It’s strange, her expression shows pain, bewildernt, and wistfulness. Could she still be interested in Han?
Lan Xuan and Han Yachu exchanged glances, both arriving at the sa conclusion.
"Oh, I’d like you to take to buy a few sets of n’s clothes as a gift for soone," Shangguan You said calmly, having collected herself. He wouldn’t refuse this request, would he?
Lan Xuan and Han Yachu both looked surprised.
"I’m not familiar with B City, and I rarely go out," Shangguan You explained lightly. In her mory, apart from her ho, the school, and the area within a couple of streets, she’d never ventured anywhere else. If she were to buy clothes herself, she definitely wouldn’t choose well. Lan Xuan, however, seed to have good taste; his choices should suit Zhuge Feng.
