"Are you really alright?" Xiao Yao asked worriedly.
"Yeah."
Lu Jinqi nodded, pulling up her hoodie and lying down on the table. She closed her eyes and fell asleep. The huge hoodie covered her entire face.
"Oh, she fell asleep again," Wen Yu said softly.
The few of them quieted down, and the words that they wanted to say were stuck in their mouths.
Lu Jinqi did not sleep well this time. Her brows were tightly furrowed, and a cold sweat broke out on her forehead. Suddenly, she opened her eyes and pulled her hoodie tighter to hide the emotions in her eyes.
"Qiqi, where are you going?"
"The toilet," Lu Jinqi's voice was a little hoarse, and she quickly left the classroom.
At that moment, the toilet was empty.
"Huh…"
Lu Jinqi lifted her face and looked at herself in the mirror. Her eyes were dim, but it looked like a storm brewed behind her eyes.
She took out a cigarette impatiently and leaned against the wall, puffing on it.
The smoke rose slowly, and in an instant, the entire toilet was filled with a smoky odor.
Ever since she had entered this body, she had never dreamed of what had happened before.
Before she was reborn, she was originally the heir of the Lu family before they died. Because she had been gifted since young, she learned everything quickly and was smarter than her peers. Gradually, people started to look at her strangely.
Even now, she could still remember the fear in their eyes.
After that, she was sent to the laboratory for research. She thought of a way to destroy the laboratory and the Lu family. That was the first time she found humor in other people's behavior.
Every day, she would stay at an old man's place. That old man would always ask her why she did not want to go home, but in reality, she just never had a home.
Later on, she made a lot of achievements, but in the end, there was a problem with her last experiment, and she accidentally blew it up.
At the thought of this, Lu Jinqi sarcastically smiled.
When Song Yayin saw this scene, she was surprised. Since when did Lu Jinqi start smoking?
Hearing footsteps, Lu Jinqi raised her eyelids. When she saw who it was, she lowered her eyes without much interest.
"Lu Jinqi, why are you here?" Song Yayin questioned.
"What are you doing in the toilet? Here to eat sh*t?" Lu Jinqi slowly moved closer to her and whispered in her ear.
"You..."
Song Yayin scanned her surroundings. Seeing that there was no one around, she gave her a slap.
Lu Jinqi did not avoid it and raised her hand to soothe the sting. "Why are you only thinking of attacking now?"
"Lu Jinqi, you're just a dog that my family brought back. What right do you have to be in the same school as me?" Song Yayin's face was no longer gentle. She looked at the person in front of her with hatred.
If she had known earlier, she would have destroyed her face.
"Your family means nothing." Lu Jinqi's ice-cold gaze was filled with wariness, it could even make people tremble in their seats.
A chill rose from Song Yayin's back.
"My patience is limited. Don't come closer to me, understand?" Lu Jinqi patted her face and lowered her voice. Her entire body was filled with ruthlessness.
After Lu Jinqi finished speaking, she threw the cigarette bud into the sink and walked out.
…
"Why isn't Qiqi back yet?" Xie Shuyao leaned on the table and stared at the door with piercing eyes.
Xiao Yao's hand trembled from her constantly asking about Jinqi. He resisted the urge to hit her and snorted coldly. "You've already asked about ten times. Why don't you go out and look for her yourself?"
From the second Jinqi left, the new transfer student had asked about Jinqi's whereabouts every minute.
Why did she not let Jinwi go to the bathroom in peace?
"Do you think I don't want to? If I didn't think that Qiqi was in a bad mood, I would have gone out to look for her myself," Xie Shuyao gave him a discerning look and continued, "obviously you won't understand."
"Is Jinqi in a bad mood?" Wen Yu held a bag of potato chips and asked indistinctly.
After saying that, he recalled what had happened and did not feel that there was anything wrong.
Xie Shuyao's lips curled into a smile. "A girl's sixth sense, do you understand what that is?"
Xiao Yao held his chin and pulled her hair wickedly. "Not really."
Xie Shuyao's scalp suddenly hurt. She reached out and grabbed his head, wanting him to feel the pain too.
While the few of them played around, Lu Jinqi slowly returned to her seat.
"Your relationship has warmed up quite quickly." Lu Jinqi stood there lazily, a playful smile flashed across her lips.
Hearing her voice, Xie Shuyao immediately turned around and looked at her obediently.
Xiao Yao flattened his hair unnaturally, his gaze drifted to Jinqi as he smiled awkwardly. "Hey, why were you gone for so long?"
Lu Jinqi sat in her seat, her pale hands supported her face as she casually swirled the pen in her hand. "Oh, I smoked a cigarette along the way."
No wonder she smelled like smoke.
It seemed like Xie Shuyao was right. Jinqi was in a bad mood, so much so that she needed to take a smoke.
Xiao Yao suddenly realized what was going on, and a bitter look appeared on his face. "You smoked without me."
"Without you my *ss." Xie Shuyao slapped the back of his head, her face slightly cold.
This slap caught Xiao Yao off guard. He touched the spot where he had been slapped. "Xie Shuyao, are you crazy?"
Xie Shuyao did not think that there was anything wrong with her. "You're the one who's crazy. Qiqi went to the women's restroom, and you're implying that you should go there with her too?!"
Seeing the two of them bicker, Lu Jinqi's mood lightened. She suddenly felt that school life was not that boring.
"Jinqi, here you go." Wen Yu took out a handful of candy from the drawer and placed it on Lu Jinqi's desk.
Lu Jinqi picked one up and placed it into her mouth. The sweetness quickly spread in her mouth.
"Fatty, where did you get the candy?" Xiao Yao looked at him as though he wanted to pry the truth out of fatty.
Wen Yu chuckled. "I bought it today."
Actually, ever since he found out that Lu Jinqi liked to eat sweets, his school bag had been filled with fresh batches of candies every day.
This was the realization that he had as a fan.
Xiao Yao instantly felt betrayed. They had agreed to lick her boots together, but he had secretly increased his own favorability.
…
The class bell rang. Cheng Xin carried the lesson plan and a stack of papers onto the podium. "These are the papers from the previous test. The class representative will help pass them out."
After the papers were handed out, Cheng Xin looked around with a serious expression. "You are now in the third year of high school. This is a critical moment for you all. I hope that you will put all your energy into your studies."
Xiao Yao looked at the bright red sixty on his paper and grinned.
It was much better than the last time.
"Hey bro, what's your score?" Wen Yu glanced at the podium and asked quietly.
"Sixty, not bad, right?"
Hearing the score, Wen Yu's eyes widened. "Did you secretly study on your own?"
Xie Shuyao's face twitched when she heard their conversation. There was definitely a problem with these two low IQ points airhead's conversation.
"Qiqi, what's your score?"
Lu Jinqi looked at the zero on the paper, and her eyes raised in arrogance.
Seeing that she did not say anything, Xie Shuyao secretly took a look. In the end, she saw that the score was empty.
How on earth did she get this score? Even if she chose B on all the multiple-choice questions, she could still get a few points.
As though she could see her confusion, Wen Yu whispered, "Didn't you notice that her paper wasn't filled in at all?"
Xie Shuyao looked at it carefully. 'D*mn it, it's blank.'
"Why wasn't it filled in?"
"Because Jinqi was sleeping the entire time."
Sure enough, this was the style of a big shot.
