Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat! Chapter 469 - 26: The Cannon Fodder Stepsister Doesn’t Want

Qiao Chuweng was irritated by his words.

"It’s just a piece of paper, right? You’ve solved the questions on it, what else do you need? Don’t you never take notes?"

Fu Ming, although slow-witted, could sense the dissatisfaction in Qiao Chuweng’s tone.

He found it inexplicable.

"These aren’t the questions I’ve solved, I need to take it back to continue studying."

"Not your questions, yet you’re discussing them so much with her?"

"Because she solved these questions."

After speaking, Fu Ming took the draft paper from Qiao Chuweng’s hand, folded it, and tucked it into his book.

Qiao Chuweng just thought it was amusing.

"She said she solved them? Fu Ming, you’re really gullible, you can even believe sothing like this."

Fu Ming was puzzled.

"What did she trick about?"

"Doesn’t it look like she copied it from soone else? Otherwise, do you think soone who ranks at the bottom of our class can solve the hardest physics problem on their own?"

Fu Ming looked at her, his eyes flashing sothing unfamiliar.

"No matter how she ca up with it, it helps , and you seem a bit emotionally unstable."

It seed like she cared a lot about that girl.

Qiao Chuweng was stunned for a mont, realizing she had indeed lost her composure, she gathered herself and returned to her usual deanor.

"This is your business, I’m just giving you a friendly reminder. At crucial tis, it’s best to focus on important matters and people."

They were about to participate in the selection process to determine if they could join the national training team for the Olympiad competitions. If sothing went wrong now, their hopes for direct admission into the second year through recomndation to Qing University would be dashed.

Currently, Fu Ming was the most promising candidate since he already won the district physics competition gold dal and had the principal’s recomndation. As long as he wins first place in the upcoming city physics competition, he would be likely to enter the national team.

Qiao Chuweng was just a step away too.

Their friendship with Jiang Ci was well-known and praised by their school peers and teachers as a model of healthy friendships.

So no matter how close the three of them were, no one would say anything.

After all, they were the top students in the school.

Qiao Chuweng didn’t want Fu Ming to be distracted by other things.

"Fu Ming, didn’t we agree to secure our spots at Qing University in the second year together?"

Fu Ming nodded.

But he still felt Qiao Chuweng was blowing things out of proportion and didn’t understand what was on her mind.

He was just discussing a question with another student; it wasn’t like he was going to ruin himself.

"Alright, I’m heading back, anyway, my tutoring student has left."

Qiao Chuweng realized she couldn’t say more.

"Okay, I’ll go back with you."

"Suit yourself."

——

Jiang Lai walked ho, because the tutoring delayed her by over an hour, by the ti she was halfway ho, it was already getting dark.

Up ahead was a convenience store, Jiang Lai liked the triangular rice balls inside, and she also enjoyed sitting by the glass wall, quietly watching the bustling scene outside.

The store played pop music favored by the staff, Jiang Lai noticed sothing off by the second song, as it was too different from the previous style.

She glanced back, not far away, a tall boy in a hat was organizing items on the shelves with his back to her.

It wasn’t him buying rice balls earlier; as soon she sat down, there was a change.

If it weren’t for the mismatched music style, Jiang Lai might really not have noticed the boy by the store shelves.

She took a bite of the rice ball, sighed helplessly, and continued to sit silently.

Shen Weizhou anxiously organized things for a long ti; through the mirror in front of him, he could clearly see Jiang Lai behind him.

Before, she would always finish eating and sit for a while before leaving, usually no more than fifteen minutes.

But this ti, inexplicably, it had been almost half an hour, and she was still sitting without any intention of leaving.

The bag of chips in front of him was taken out and put back again over ten tis before he finally realized.

Turning around, sure enough, Jiang Lai also turned around.

He took off his hat, revealing an extraordinarily handso face, his once slightly long and ssy bangs now trimd revealing his eyebrows, making his face look fresher and cleaner, under the thick brows, his dark eyes held so tension while staring at Jiang Lai.

"How did you spot ?"

"Your style is rather distinctive."

Although he dyed his hair black, removed the earrings, and changed to simple clothes, he was still the boy who liked thrills and boldness deep down.

One could see it in his eyes, the suppressed emotions.

"Don’t tell you ca here to work for ."

Shen Weizhou silently walked forward, directly took two cans of strawberry milk from the shelves, opened one and handed it to Jiang Lai, then drank the other himself.

"Do I seem like a creep doing this?"

"No."

Because if the creep is too handso, he’s easily forgiven.

"I texted you on WeChat, but you didn’t reply, so I didn’t want to make a fool of myself calling you."

Shen Weizhou had never been so humbled in his life, just to see a girl. From a villa in the city center to working as a clerk at a remote convenience store, earning only twelve bucks an hour.

He had never seen such little money in his life.

Hearing this, Jiang Lai took out her phone, opened WeChat which she hadn’t used for over a month.

Hundreds of ssages popped up, from old buddies, advertisents, public accounts, among them the most were from Shen Weizhou.

Initially, it was arrogant invitations to go shopping, saying he had gifts for her, later turning to tentative inquiries.

Until last week, he had stopped sending any ssages.

Because starting last week, he had been a ’creep’ here.

"How can the boss trust you with the store at your level?"

Looking at the ssy shelves, Jiang Lai chuckled.

Shen Weizhou scratched his head.

"The hourly pay was too low, and I had to watch his attitude, so I just bought this store."

Jiang Lai nodded; this indeed matched his style.

"Then go ahead, I’m heading ho."

"Oh, wait, I’ll walk you ho."

Saying this, Shen Weizhou directly left the store to chase after her, the other clerk, used to it, erged from the storeroom, continuing to organize the chaotic shelves left by the boss.

Shen Weizhou caught up riding a bicycle, behind the seemingly expensive mountain bike, surprisingly fitted with a seat.

"Give a shout-out to your ex-boyfriend, hop on."

Jiang Lai completely ignored it.

"Did I ever tell you, I just want to study?"

"So I didn’t bother you, learn as you wish, if you need help, I’ll sort it out for you."

Thus, Shen Weizhou pushed the bike, walking Jiang Lai to the door.

After going upstairs, Pudding kept rambling.

"How lucky to have such a rich second generation, Jiang Lai, you’re really gutsy."
