Lai Jiayi saw Xuan Lincheng being stubborn and couldn't help but click her tongue in disdain.
The girl then looked down at Xuan Lincheng and said in a rather demanding tone, "Shouldn't you, a responsible student union president, apologize for this mistake?"
Her voice was truly majestic and somewhat cool, sounding like a queen interrogating her subject, making several students gasped in awe.
Lai Jiayi's aura is truly outstanding!
"I...I…" Faced with Lai Jiayi's harsh tone, Xuan Lincheng's legs trembled. She almost fell and fainted right away.
'How could this girl corner me?' Her pupil shook.
'No! I will never apologize in front of such a huge crowd!'
Xuan Lincheng clenched her jaw and straightened her back. Her eyes were glaring at Lai Jiayi.
Lai Jiayi saw Xuan Lincheng's unwillingness to apologize, but she's determined to make her apologize.
'Xuan Lincheng has to be responsible for the baseless accusation she did just now!'
"You– " Lai Jiayi was about to corner Xuan Lincheng until she apologized when the lecturer suddenly came.
Upon seeing the crowd, the lecturer couldn't help but shout,
"What's going on here? The class is starting! Hurry, go to your seat!" The lecturer's angry voice instantly made the students run back to their seats.
The class became chaotic.
During the chaos, there was also opportunity. This mindset was what Xuan Lincheng grasped.
Not wasting the chance, she dashed out of the class, escaping her responsibility to apologize.
"Damn bad timing!" Lai Jiayi cursed softly as she too walked to her seat. She sat in front of the lecturer, so she had to behave well.
Xuan Lincheng was really lucky. This lecturer, who suddenly came to the class, saved her!
Thirty minutes had passed by just to argue with that cunning player.
'Xuan Lincheng...you might escape now but not forever!'
Determining to make Xuan Lincheng pay for what she did today, Lai Jiayi clenched her teeth before focusing on the on-going lesson.
Yaya, who was hiding in her bag, also consoled Lai Jiayi before resting, waiting until the class for the day finished.

"The plan failed!" Xuan Lincheng talked to someone over the phone as she sat on the closed toilet inside the girl's restroom.
'I don't know who this helper is but since Bunnie tells me…I trust this person but what's the result?? Fail!'
"This is– "
"So, is that my fault?" the voice over the phone spoke in a lazy tone. The person used a voice changer, so this person sounded like a baby.
Xuan Lincheng couldn't tell the gender of the caller at all because of the voice changer.
Hearing the sentence said by the mysterious helper, Xuan Lincheng bit her lips.
'Indeed, this helper isn't at fault at all and is even actually helpful, but! My plan still failed!'
"But– "
"It's your own incompetence, don't blame others, " the person spoke again in a rather cold tone before cutting the call, not waiting for Xuan Lincheng to answer.
The person seemed impatient.
"W-wait!" Xuan Lincheng wanted to continue the conversation, but it's too late. The person cut the call already.
Xuan Lincheng could only stare at her phone screen and cursed softly.
"Damn it!" The girl gripped the phone tight as she opened the locked door of the campus' toilet.
'Now, this mysterious helper ignored me...what to do if I see Lai Jiayi again?'
"M-master, y-you okay?" The rabbit AI suddenly asked. She saw her master biting her nails anxiously.
Her previous image of a goddess disappeared, leaving only the look of an anxious teenager.
"Fine? Fine, your eyes! Don't you see I'm suffering? Tell me, who's this helper? Can he/she be trusted??"
Xuan Lincheng snapped, being asked like that. She harrumphed arrogantly before bombarding the rabbit AI with questions.
"I got the helper, thanks for your recommendation, after all, so you should be responsible!"
Being scolded like that, the rabbit shivered, feeling scared of her contractor.
Still, she answered in a rather helpless tone, "M-master, I can't tell you t-the helper identity b-but he can be trusted…"
"And the proof?"
"H-he is connected to the company game…"
Bunnie decided to tell a piece of a clue so that her contractor would be convinced. She told the gender of the caller.
"Really? Why would someone from the game company want to help me?" Xuan Lincheng raised one of her eyebrows in doubt.
'Isn't this unfair? But why the one helped is me? Also, the helper said to target Lai Jiayi first…'
Xuan Lincheng squinted her eyes.
"I...can't answer that. M-master is lucky to be selected!"
"Me, lucky?"
"Y-yes. U-usually, there will be p-people from the game company helping selected players...i-it can be random, and t-the help is not continuous…"
The rabbit AI gulped nervously as she tried to appease Xuan Lincheng's anger.
'Though the people from the game company did this just to make things interesting….' Bunnie lowered her head.
"...useless, " Xuan Lincheng mocked her AI, but she didn't ask further.
'I'm the chosen one? Good, good. I have to win the game then! Starting from...eliminating Lai Jiayi, that hateful wrench.'
Xuan Lincheng clenched her fists.
'I have always been compared to Lai Jiayi in terms of academics. If not for Lai Jiayi's quiet personality, I won't be the student union president.'
Xuan Lincheng bit her nail.
'But now others saw how admirable Lai Jiayi is...my position is threatened!'
Xuan Lincheng gripped her hand tight until her nails dug to her palm.
"Hey, the game allows the players to eliminate another player with any kind of method, right?" she suddenly asked as she looked at the mirror.
"A-as long as the players don't kill them using their own hand…"
"Hah, good." Xuan Lincheng touched the mirror dramatically.
'Lai Jiayi...just wait and see! This mighty me is going to crush you using every method possible.'
She scratched the mirror with her long nails.
'For myself and...for my brother, I will do everything to eliminate you!'
