A soft and slow, yet strange and penetrating voice fell on everyone’s ears.
Silence befell the scene for a second. All eyes were on Gu Mang.
The girl’s presence was towering in the hollow atmosphere. Her almond eyes were a sinister red and contained a little icy fierceness, sending cold shivers down everyone’s back.
Her lips curled slowly. “e here, Jinyang.”
Meng Jinyang had a blank look on her face for a moment. She uttered an “oh” and obediently walked towards Gu Mang.
Gu Mang tucked her long hair back indifferently. Her beautiful features exuded vengefulness and her lips were curled into a cruel smile.
“Principal, Jinyang and I shall both go to Class Twenty,” she said unhurriedly.
Upon hearing this, Luo Songhua’s face changed on the spot and she said coldly, “What is this? Are you making a fool out of me?!”
They should be deeply grateful that she was willing to relent and take in Meng Jinyang!
The right to choose belonged to her only! They should not be the ones to boss her around.
Principal Fu looked at Gu Mang in astonishment, “Are you sure about you and Meng Jinyang going to Class Twenty?”
Even though Luo Songhua’s words were rather harsh, Class One was still the top class in the Year Three cohort. Every student dreamt of being a part of it.
It was said that being in Class One meant that one already had one foot in the door of high ranking colleges.
Gu Mang’s cold gaze swept past Luo Songhua. With both hands in her pocket, she uttered a lazy “mm.”
Although the principal was more than weling of this decision, his face still showed that it was a regrettable choice. “Alright, do as you wish then,” he said reluctantly.
Luo Songhua threw them an irate stare when she heard this. “You don’t know something good when it’s dangling right in front of you! You will regret this!”
After spouting this, Luo Songhua stood up and stormed out of the Principal’s office in utter exasperation.
Principal Fu turned his gaze to Xi Yan. “Ms. Xi, I’ll leave these two children in your hands. Please arrange for them to get started on classes as soon as possible.”
“Understood, Principal.”
Xi Yan guided the two towards the Year Three building and talked to them along the way with patience and gentleness.
“Even though Class Twenty is not as good as Class One, you don’t have to worry. I will do my best to teach you. You guys have limitless potential before the college entrance examinations,” Xi Yan said with a sweet smile.
“Thank you, Miss.” Meng Jinyang replied like an obedient student.
Xi Yan patted her shoulder. “I’ll first bring you guys to get your books.”
Gu Mang did not have much of a reaction. Her eyelids were lowered and she walked forward absent-mindedly.
Xi Yan glanced at her several times and blurted out a question out of curiosity. “Gu Mang, I’m going to ask you a question that I hope you don’t mind.”
“Mm?” Gu Mang looked over with one eyebrow raised.
It was rather cool, unlike an uneducated and unskilled troublemaker, and Xi Yan found herself not disliking her. She even liked her a little.
Xi Yan had no idea why she formed such a weird impression.
She cleared her throat and said tactfully, “I saw your results and… how did you do your exams?”
Gu Mang suddenly laughed and let out a grin with seven part wickedness and three parts hooliganism. She tilted her head and looked towards her. “How did I get zeroes?”
Xi Yan saw Gu Mang’s honesty and calmness. The corner of her mouth twitched and she nodded.
Gu Mang pushed up the brim of her cap with one finger, revealing her delicate features. “Because everyone goes to an exam to score. I go to sleep,” she said carelessly.
Xi Yan was left speechless.
