Chapter 4
"Sisters! Qi Shi from Class 7 and Zhou Zhou fought in West Alley yesterday!" The loud voice of Guan Yongyan from Class 3 shook the ground early in the morning.
Guan Yongyan was known as the gossip queen with a big mouth in Class 3. She was one of the few girls that Zhou Zhou messaged on WeChat yesterday to add salt.
"Gossip time, gossip time!"
"Really? Sister Yongyan, give us some insider info!"
"Isn't Zhou Zhou that girl's boyfriend?" One of the gossip girls mouthed some words.
"Oh my gosh, it seems like you know something!"
It was the second period now, and most of the boys in the class had gone out to play basketball since they had Gym next period.
For the boys, Gym was like labor reform with some fresh air, while for the girls it was like torture under the scorching sun.
The vain girls didn't want to sweat like pigs under the sun, so they were trying to stall as much as possible before class started. At this moment, the absolute majority of girls occupied the entire classroom.
Why were they so excited? Of course it was because Zhou Zhou and Qi Shi were popular figures at Qingteng High School Grade 2.
Zhou Zhou's handsomeness was the wild kind. He had healthy wheatish skin, chiseled features, and the rare six pack abs at his age. He liked playing basketball, but was also adept at fighting and brawls, and was infamous for them. Unlike Tu Qingluan who caused petty troubles, Zhou Zhou had a record of personally sending people to the ICU.
Even so, many girls were into this type. Not to mention the girls in his class, even senior school sisters and junior high school junior sisters (Qingteng Junior High School was connected to the high school) admired him. He also had a group of little brothers outside of school who would fight alongside him. In summary, he satisfied certain people's tastes.
At the same time, Zhou Zhou had an even more impressive father - a business and political tycoon with deep connections.
Qi Shi was also an up and coming figure.
Rich, handsome, and fit - the model specimen of a tall, cold and ascetic male god. His face was so devilishly good-looking it was almost unfair. His skin was fairer than most girls', and he had won countless competitions and medals. He excelled in everything he did.
His family had gained its footing through scientific research. With deep roots and abundant resources fostered by generations of ancestors who were elites across various fields and layers of society, the Qi family had a complex web of connections. In recent years, they had attracted some backlash, and Elder Master Qi had severed ties with most high-level central government figures, but the family's social network was still powerful. As the precious only grandson, Qi Shi was undoubtedly the focus of cultivation and had boundless prospects.
Moreover, Qi Shi was a key focus for Qingteng School, since he could help raise the school’s profile and bring honor to it!
He attracted as many female admirers as Zhou Zhou. As a lofty flower on a high plateau, many girls were into this type.
Therefore, the news that these two had gotten into a fight was thrilling for the girls!
They chatted excitedly for about five minutes before dispersing. Of course, Zhou Zhou was not present - he had just returned today and was currently playing basketball outside.
[Gossip about the two hotties - I really want to hear more~ Unfortunately I'm not very close with them.] Luo Manman was still working on her math homework.
[You can ask Dong Yaya about it later. Wasn't she also in the gossip group? She's trying to get on your good side anyway, right?] Pandora gave a suggestion.
"Yan Xi, let's go change together for Gym class! Otherwise we'll be late, and Coach Da Wang won't let us off easy. It'll be miserable if he tells Principal Zhonghai." Dong Yaya spoke up, grabbing her set of PE clothes along with the PE clothes on Shen Qiuyi's desk to call out to Yan Xi.
Speak of the devil.
Shen Qiuyi stood next to Dong Yaya with a frosty look on her face, as if someone owed her eight million dollars.
This girl was quite temperamental. She had kept up this sulky look since this morning.
"Sure, let me grab my PE clothes first." Of course Yan Xi agreed since she still wanted to hear the gossip.
Yan Xi took out her PE clothes from her schoolbag, then also took out a box of chocolates. She first placed two pieces in Dong Yaya's hands, then called out to other classmates to come over for chocolate.
"These are chocolates I made myself. Please try them, everyone."
[Are you sure you made them instead of buying them from the Skin Store? Also isn't it a bit late to be doing this today instead of yesterday?] Pandora said coldly.
[Weren't we interrupted by Tu Qingluan yesterday? I forgot about it until I took out my PE clothes just now.]
[She has quite the temper! Pandora. Is it because of the chocolates? I'll buy you some next time too, be good~] Luo Manman coaxed Pandora like a child.
[......]
"Thanks, Yan Xi."
"Thank you, Xi Xi."
"Thanks, beauty Yan."
...
Almost every girl accepted Yan Xi's gesture - after all, it would be foolish not to take advantage of it. Moreover, the chocolates looked exquisitely made and delicious.
Yan Xi was quite mischievous. She gave chocolates to many girls, but just happened to overlook Shen Qiuyi who was next to Dong Yaya.
Shen Qiuyi's expression grew even uglier as she watched Dong Yaya beam sweetly at Yan Xi. She couldn't bring herself to openly break up their cozy twosome, so she grabbed the PE clothes Dong Yaya was helping her hold and stormed off angrily, preferring that to enduring humiliation here.
Just as she was stomping away furiously, Yan Xi blocked her path.
What do you want?! The blocked Shen Qiuyi also flared up.
"Deskmate, I specially saved these for you." Yan Xi blinked at Shen Qiuyi and stuffed most of the remaining chocolates into her hands.
"Don't be angry anymore, okay?" Yan Xi stepped forward and whispered to Shen Qiuyi.
Seeing that Shen Qiuyi remained silent, Yan Xi smiled beautifully enough to dazzle Shen Qiuyi's eyes.
Yan Xi moved back and headed to the changing room first with the other girls.
"As if I care about your chocolates!" Shen Qiuyi came to her senses and muttered angrily under her breath.
Does every fawn over her just because she has a pretty face?
As a student at Qingteng, Shen Qiuyi naturally didn't come from an ordinary family and had enjoyed a superior upbringing since childhood as a young miss. She had a delicate and fair complexion, and countless boys and girls had tried to curry favor with her due to her family background and looks since she was little.
Moreover, she was in the upper middle ranking of grades in the elite class. Among the many well-connected but low-achieving and high-achieving but poorly-connected students, she naturally had some arrogance.
Ever since Yan Xi had arrived, she directly shook Shen Qiuyi's position as the class flower. It was impossible for the gap between them to be small. Shen Qiuyi knew she was jealous and that these emotions were improper.
Shen Qiuyi gave Dong Yaya an icy look, even more annoyed inside.
Dong Yaya also realized something was off. She glanced at the departed Yan Xi then the angered Shen Qiuyi, hesitating briefly before deciding to stay behind and comfort Shen Qiuyi.
