Watching Xu Renjie and his group leave, a sly smile crept onto Li Mengjie's lips, the kind that emerges after a cunning plan succeeds.
She was fantasizing about bossing Xu Renjie around at school when suddenly, someone patted her shoulder, giving her such a start that she wheeled around, only to find Ling Xuejiu, which allowed her to breathe a sigh of relief. Clutching her chest, she said irritably, "Xue Jiu, what the heck? Sneaking up behind someone and patting them like that, you really gave me a fright."
"Hmph, you little brat, what were you thinking about so intently?" Ling Xuejiu was also annoyed, pursing her lips with an unhappy expression on her face.
Li Mengjie might have sensed something amiss, so she quickly put on a cheerful expression and said, "Yo, yo, yo, Miss Ling, what's wrong? Who's made you angry this time?"
