Chapter 22
"Oufff!" she breathed a sigh of relief before actually going to sit down to her desk and taking out her still untouched books to start reviewing them. More precisely, reading the pages at a very fast pace.
After an hour, Ying Yue successfully went through all of her material and she was ready for her exams. There were only two weeks of school left and after three days, the exams would start.
After was.h.i.+ng up, she finally went to bed, tired of her day.
...
Waking up almost late, Ying Yue hastily ran around the house, brus.h.i.+ng her teeth and wearing her clothes while preparing breakfast.
Successfully mult.i.tasking, she got a small five minutes to eat her breakfast before throwing her bag on her shoulder and rus.h.i.+ng out of the house.
However, Ying Fan, who was watching her crazily speeding around the house, stopped her by pulling her back with her school bag handle, " Yue, you are not wearing your mask? "
" Oh! Right! I almost forgot, thanks! " Ying Yue remembered and quickly sped back to the bathroom.
Clumsily searching her face cream, she knocked over a few bottles before finding it and carefully applying a thin layer of protective cream on her face. After letting it dry a couple of seconds, Ying Yue skillfully applied an ugly mask and looked at the mirror, satisfied. Her original face was now absolutely unrecognizable.
" Definitely one of our best inventions! " Ying Yue thought before really leaving the house and running to school.
Ying Yue was actually going to one of the most prestigious schools in China where only the elites of elites could attend. Not only did you needed brains but you needed money and status. But for Ying Yue, well...she is a special case.
Because she was so smart, the school gave her a complete scholars.h.i.+p to poach her in, which was considered almost impossible in such a prestigious school.
They would even let her
In school, Ying Yue was obviously discriminated. Not only was she poor (in their opinion), ugly, lazy and unfas.h.i.+onable, she was always disrespecting the teachers by sleeping on the desk and also them, as she always ignored them while plugging her earphones in.
However, they could never do something to her because she was a reputed genius. Ying Yue constantly helped the school win awards and raised their school's value: making the director value her a lot. The director was very lenient on her, would let her sleep without disturbing the cla.s.s, would let her dress in pants and a T-s.h.i.+rt and would promise her entire protection while she was in school.
The rich elites were obviously extremely dissatisfied by her presence but could only hold it in. They had tried countless times to bully her or get her expelled but they would always fail. They were rich and had influence but so did the director...
In their last year, the students and teachers were already used to her and just left her alone as she was not doing anything else but sleep. They were literally not concerned by her presence anymore.
Dropping her lazy body in her seat, Ying Yue sighed in relief to have barely made it in time.
Seeing Ying Yue slightly pouting her big lips, the person next to her, subconsciously retreated, a bit disgusted while cursing her horrible fate to be next to Ying Yue.
But Ying Yue didn't pay attention to her reaction and casually took out her books for the first period, even though she had literally no intent in using them. Plugging her earphones in her ears, Ying Yue tiredly stretched out her arms before plopping her head onto her desk and closing her eyes, prepared to sleep a bit before working on the doc.u.ments for the mafia.
" Ah...Sweet student life..." Ying Yue sighed in happiness, slowly drifting in her dreams.
...
" Chu Hua! Wait for me! " Yu Yan yelled across the hallway, trying to catch Bai Chu Hua's attention.
With a disgruntled expression, the pretty girl turned around to face the girl who was trying to catch up to her, books in hand.
" What? " Bai Chu Hua said grumpily while furrowing her thin eyebrows.
" Why are you unhappy Chu Hua? " Yu Yan barely asked before she dropped her hands on her knees, supporting herself and catching her breath.
" That Chen Li is still ignoring me! Does he think that he is so great just because he's handsome and smart? Wait till he falls head over heels for me and I'll make him regret! " Bai Chu Hua angrily said.
" What?! He is still rejecting you!? How come? You are the prettiest girl in the school and the one with the highest status! Who else is better than you? " Yu Yan said in disbelief, not forgetting to praise her to soothe her nerves.
" Exactly! He must be blind! " Bai Chu Hua continued to complain.
" But I mean... at the same time, he is still the smartest, the richest and the most handsome guy in the whole entire school... I think if you are just patient, he will gradually fall in love with you and when he actually dates you, you guys would be the best couple in the whole entire campus!" Yu Yan exclaimed trying very hard to please her.
" Hmm...That's true, a fisher needs patience to reel in a big fish..." Bai Chu Hua's eyebrows finally relaxed and she beamed a shy smile thinking about her future with Chen Li.
" So what did you want to tell me so important that you had to scream? " Bai Chu Hua finally asked.
" Oh yes! " Yu Yan almost forgot her purpose in coming to talk to her but was now really excited to tell her the big news, " The director of the school just left to go to a foreign country to visit his friend! That means that n.o.body would be able to protect that girl Ying Yue till graduation! "
