Gu Jin sat at her desk, while Ma Qiaolan, seated behind her, leaned over the table and asked, "Gu Jin, you’re a bit late today. Were you caught up with your brother causing trouble?"
"Not at all, he’s very well-behaved. I just overslept today, and he even made breakfast."
Gu Jin refuted Ma Qiaolan from the back row while taking things out of her backpack.
Feng Hui, sitting in front of her, turned around and said enviously, "Really? I wish I had a brother too."
She was an only child and particularly envious of those with siblings.
Even her deskmate Hu Yue was a bit surprised by what she heard and turned around to look at Gu Jin.
Hu Yue’s face did not show envy, but confusion, as if she, like Ma Qiaolan, couldn’t understand how there could be such a good brother.
Gu Jin’s smile deepened, "Little An is really great; he’s very well-behaved and obedient."
She sat upright at her desk, telling the three of them about the heartwarming act of An Mingji cooking in the morning, with an indescribable fondness on her face.
Feng Hui, Hu Yue sitting in front, and Ma Qiaolan in the back, all had different expressions as they listened to Gu Jin boast about her brother.
As for the seating arrangent of the four in the classroom, it had its own bit of story.
Feng Hui and Hu Yue were both petite, of similar height, and coincidentally sat together.
Gu Jin was arranged to sit behind them, with a very introverted boy as her seatmate. At this mont, he listened to the girls’ chatter without any annoyance on his face and even paid close attention as a bystander.
As for Ma Qiaolan, her height was among the tallest in the class, and her seat was originally arranged at the back of the classroom.
However, upon seeing how close Gu Jin, Feng Hui, and Hu Yue were seated, she started scheming.
She persistently coaxed the teacher with various reasons, and before long, got transferred to the seat behind Gu Jin.
The bell for class rang, and the four of them imdiately quieted down.
The first class was English.
Gu Jin listened to the teacher’s reasonably standard pronunciation in class, feeling a bit bored as she doodled with her pen on the notebook.
She dared to say her pronunciation was more accurate than the teacher’s, and her spoken English was even more fluent.
Sitting in class only repeated the knowledge she already knew.
Having lived another life, attending high school was purely to pass the ti, to avoid standing out too much.
She wanted to go through high school and university just like anyone else.
Being too outstanding can sotis be a hassle.
Besides, she wanted to stay by An Mingji’s side, watching him gradually return to a normal life step by step.
In her previous life, he suffered too much. Even though he eventually reached a high-status position, the pains he once experienced truly existed.
She wanted to offer him another path, a smooth road to the top step by step.
Ti passed unconsciously.
In the blink of an eye, it was noon, and the school bell signaled the end of class. Students quickly poured out of the school.
At this point, most students headed towards the school cafeteria.
Gu Jin, along with Feng Hui, Hu Yue, and Ma Qiaolan, headed to the cafeteria together.
When they were still tens of ters away from the cafeteria, a few girls approached them from the front.
The girls headed straight towards them, and among them, the girl being surrounded, Gu Jin recognized as Xing Ying, who was bullied by Ke Haii on the first day of enrollnt.
The scars on her face had long healed, and now, with a pure smile, she walked towards the four of them.
"Qiaolan, let’s go out to play after school in the afternoon, and we’re going to karaoke in the evening. Do you want to join us?"
