Lai Jiayi didn't know how but her body moved faster than her mind. In less than a second, she slapped away senior Jun's hand, which was resting on her right shoulder.
The whole class suddenly quieted down, and all eyes turned toward Lai Jiayi.
Some students were staring hard at her. Others had their jaw dropped to the floor while the rest of them glared as if they wanted to kill the sinful girl.
"S-she...slapped away senior Jun's hand!" A fangirl screamed.
"...Junior Lai?" Jun Bajie was shocked. His smile disappeared a little, but his voice still sounded worried.
It only made his fans even more triggered.
"How dare she slap senior Jun's hand?? Who does she think she is??"
"So arrogant! Just because she's a top student, huh?!"
Even the boys somehow joined in with the girls.
"I heard that this Lai student also made commotion with a junior."
"She's pretty, one of our major's top beauty, but…"
"But she's rude! Even though she's just a scholarship student, a poor girl!"
"Heh, she's too full of herself. Senior Jun is too kind to even talk to her."
"I think she's a loner. No one wants to befriend an arrogant slut."
"I bet she uses her face to seduce old men out there. Maybe she attends our university using dirty money?"
Various harsh comments and mocking filled the classroom, making Yaya, who could hear it inside the bag, almost exploded.
'What?? So this is how others treat Jia in the university?? Just because she's poor, these guys dare to mock her?' Yaya was boiling in anger.
'She slapped away that bastard's hand because she has a phobia of men!'
Yaya really wanted to fly away from the bag and slapped every single student there, but then he felt Lai Jiayi squeezed the bag.
[Don't come out, ] she whispered.
The girl then calmly scanned the surrounding. Her face was still as calm as before, and her expression didn't change.
It made the students quieted down a bit even though some still threw harsh comments enough to be called bullying.
[Jia, you okay, quack??] Yaya asked through telepathy as he couldn't come out.
'Why the hell Senior Jun didn't help clean this mess he created? Fck men, now I also hate young men!'
[I'm fine. I'm used to this.] Lai Jiayi casually shrugged her shoulder as she avoided eye contact with Senior Jun.
She knew that the guy didn't mean any harm, but...his existence was a danger for her.
[Used to, quack?] Yaya was speechless, hearing Lai Jiayi's calm answer.
He was about to speak again when senior Jun quickly made the students shut their mouths.
"It's okay, student Lai is not feeling well, don't be rude," he said with a smile on his face, yet it looked chillingly cold.
He clearly defended Lai Jiayi even after he was treated like trash.
The students couldn't help but stop their comments about Lai Jiayi once the campus prince spoke.
It's not worth pissing off Jun Bajie, the only heir of the Jun family, one of the top 5 families in the country, just to keep mocking a poor girl.
"Senior Jun is so kind!"
"He still defends that ungrateful whore."
"Unwell? Maybe her mind is the one unwell!"
The students started to throw praises everywhere, and some whispered among themselves mocking Lai Jiayi, but the commotion quickly died down.
Lai Jiayi sighed in relief. Knowing that these pigs stopped their act to get Senior Jun's attention, she could study in peace now, but..
Lai Jiayi glanced at the young man who did something out of her expectation.
'Senior Jun, why are you sitting here??'
Jun Bajie quickly sat down next to Lai Jiayi and propped his elbow to the metal table.
The man glanced at Lai Jiayi and would occasionally smile warmly at her even though the girl never looked at him, not even once.
A few minutes passed in silence as both didn't speak when suddenly, Lai Jiayi spoke in a soft voice.
"...s-sorry, for before. I-i was surprised, " Lai Jiayi forced herself to apologize to the young man without looking at his face. She only played with her finger, looking anxious.
'I was a bit too much before. Apologizing is only right…'
She thought, but then Jun Bajie took Lai Jiayi's apology differently.
"It's okay. I know you're shy around men." Jun Bajie laughed happily because Lai Jiayi took the initiative to talk to him.
"..." Lai Jiayi lips twitched.
'Shy your ass!'
But the girl put a poker face and only waited for the curious senior to go away yet...seeing what he did next– Lai Jiayi had the urge to kick this man.
He didn't move! He even opened his tablet and hologram device, seemingly about to prepare for the class.
'Oy, you want to sit here for the next few hours?? Hell no!!'
The girl gritted her teeth in anger and decided to make a big move.
'I have to run!'
Lai Jiayi was just about to stand up and forced herself to move away from her favorite spot when suddenly, the automatic door of the classroom was opened, and somehow a tall, pretty girl came approaching the crowd.
"Hey, isn't that student union president, Xuan Lincheng?"
Upon hearing this sentence from one of the young men there, all the students, mainly the boys, looked at the young girl coming in.
The girl coming in wore a white off-shoulder blouse with ruffle sleeves. Her navy blue knee-length skirt paired well with white blouse and the slide slit on the skirt exposed her long legs.
Her pretty, sakura pink hair was tied in a high ponytail, showing her long and slender neck.
Seeing the girl, Lai Jiayi instantly had a bad feeling.
'Xuan Lincheng! V university famous beauty…why is she here?'
