Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Zhao Nan watched the movements of the two from the side. The expression on his face was hard to understand.
Shen Jiao turned her head and was about to speak to Zhao Nan. When she saw his uncertain expression, her heart tightened again.
She organized her expression and smiled. “How are you? Do you have time to come over for dinner today?”
“My mom said that she bought a lot of your favorites and asked me to invite you over for dinner,” Shen Jiao said with a charming smile.
Lu Man and Jiang Yi watched from the side and teased her.
“Is this asking her son-in-law to come over?” Lu Man giggled.
Jiang Yi teased, “Is there good news coming soon?”
Shen Jiao waved her hand and said, “How is that possible!”
As she spoke, her face was slightly blushing.
Zhao Nan slowly lowered his head and looked at the book in his hand. “I’m not free today.”
Hearing Zhao Nan’s reply, Shen Jiao and the other two were stunned.
Those who were listening by the side could not help but sigh for Shen Jiao.
Shen Jiao was clearly sticking herself onto Zhao Nan, but not yet!
“Don’t you think that Zhao Nan has become strange, too?” A girl on the other side of the class mumbled.
The girl who was stuffing milk into her mouth nodded. “Yeah! It’s very strange!”
“Yeah! In the past, no matter how cool Zhao Nan was, he was still gentle towards Shen Jiao!” A girl behind came forward.
“Look at Zhao Nan’s attitude now. It’s obvious that Shen Jiao is no different from those girls who came after him!” The girl said as she walked between the two of them.
The three of them gathered together and started gossiping openly.
Although the three of them were not loud, the classroom was small, so their voices naturally reached Shen Jiao’s ears.
Shen Jiao’s expression darkened slightly, but she could not just let her anger flare up.
She secretly gritted her teeth and suppressed the anger in her heart.
Her gaze, whether intentionally or unintentionally, swept past Shen You. Her eyes were filled with hatred.
Shen You felt a chill on her back and subconsciously shrunk her neck.
“Jiao, don’t take it to heart.” Lu Man quickly comforted her.
Shen Jiao’s cold gaze instantly landed on Lu Man.
Lu Man was startled by that gaze and timidly shrank back.
Jiang Yi quickly pulled Lu Man away and said, “Xiao Man is doing this for your own good.”

Shen Jiao lowered her gaze. In less than two seconds, she looked up again with a bright smile on her face.
“I know! Thank you!” Shen Jiao’s voice was soft and gentle.

Lu Man looked at Shen Jiao in fear. She did not respond and returned to her seat.
Jiang Yi also smiled awkwardly and returned to her seat.
Shen You did not notice what had happened to Shen Jiao. She was focused on figuring out how to get more luck value from Huo Xiao.
Last time, she had poured dirty water on him, and his luck value output had suddenly become abundant.
Could it be that as long as she stimulated him and made him excited, she could get more luck value?
With this thought in mind, Shen You was ready to give it a try.
She raised her hand, intending to slap the back of Huo Xiao’s head.

To make Huo Xiao excited, this was probably the easiest and most convenient way.
Just as Shen You was about to make a move, she heard the system’s voice in her mind, “Benefactor, wait!”

Shen You’s hand stopped in mid-air, stunned like a fool.
Huo Xiao turned his head to look at Shen You’s frozen movements, and his brows instantly twisted together. “What are you doing?”
Shen You laughed awkwardly and waved her hand in the air. “There are mosquitoes!”
Huo Xiao obviously did not believe Shen You’s words.
He raised his eyebrows and stared at Shen You.
Shen You laughed dryly again and turned to lean against Zhu Ge’s desk, pretending to chat.
Zhu Ge was looking at a stack of ‘little cards’ in his hands on the desk.
When he heard the movement, he looked up and saw Shen You’s face looking at him foolishly.
Zhu Ge was shocked and quickly held the little cards in his hands in his arms.
It looked like he was afraid that Shen You would snatch his treasure!
Shen You sighed helplessly and thought to herself, in my previous life, I had only followed Zhao Nan and didn’t pay attention to the people around him…
Did he really have such a stupid brother by his side?
Shen You waved her hand, indicating that she wouldn’t snatch Zhu Ge’s treasure.
Only then did Zhu Ge rest assured and lay back on the desk.
The two of them rested their chins on the desk, not far from each other…
Suddenly, a book smashed heavily onto Zhu Ge’s back.
Zhu Ge cried out in shock and turned around to scold.
However, when he saw Zhao Nan slowly get up and walk to his side to pick up the book, he choked back his words.
Zhao Nan walked to Zhu Ge’s side as if nothing had happened and picked up the book.
He didn’t even look at Zhu Ge or Shen You the entire time….
