Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Aura of Poverty



Chitose hung up the phone, and the phone returned to silence.

Ling Shen stared blankly at his phone screen for a long while before he chuckled softly.

This early morning perk is truly delightful.

However, since he acted like a scoundrel this time, Chisui will probably avoid him.

Ling Shen checked the time; it was time for the meeting. He put down his phone and headed to the meeting room.

Normally, Ling Shen is meticulous about his work, but during this meeting, he lost focus.

The data that the employees were analyzing on the big screen all turned into long, fair legs in Ling Shen's eyes.

The scene he witnessed on the phone just now was etched in his mind and wouldn't leave him.

Ling Shen snapped out of his daze, clenched his teeth, and furrowed his brows into a deep frown.

Oh no!

......

Before she knew it, Chitose had been attending school for a month.

But Qian Sui spent most of her time adapting to life here. She was prone to drowsiness in the summer afternoons, and she spent most of her class time sleeping next to Luo Xinyue.

Seeing that she was starting to feel sleepy, Luo Xinyue reached out and patted her back: "Qiansui, don't sleep, listen to the lesson carefully."

Chisui's head was throbbing like a chick pecking at rice, her eyes barely open. She nodded and said, "No, I can't hold on any longer. I'm going to sleep now. Remember to wake me up after class and for dinner."

Yes, that's right.

Qian Sui came to school for three things: to eat, to sleep, and to play with Luo Xinyue.

Luo Xinyue really wanted to study with Qian Sui, but Qian Sui's sleepy appearance was just too unbearable. When she was sleepy, the corners of her eyes would start to turn red.

She's squinting at you, who could resist? How could you not let her sleep with you?

Luo Xinyue wished she could find her a bed in the classroom.

Luo Xinyue was aware of Qian Sui's abilities. Qian Sui already knew the knowledge the teacher had taught. Luo Xinyue even thought that if the teacher suddenly asked a question, Qian Sui could use his knowledge to ask other questions that would leave the teacher speechless.

Anyway, Chisui won't learn anything if she stays awake during class, so it's better to let her get a good night's sleep.

With this in mind, Luo Xinyue began to indulge Qian Sui in sleeping in class.

Shang Anqi and her group had been keeping an eye on Qian Sui and Luo Xinyue, so when they saw Qian Sui sleeping in class, they naturally wouldn't let the opportunity pass.

This class is an introduction to art. The students are all from wealthy families and have grown up surrounded by art. They all have their own insights into the so-called introduction to art.

Of course, that's why they were all very arrogant during this class.

After all, artists all have this bad habit: being aloof and arrogant.

These rich kids may not have much artistic talent, but they've certainly picked up arrogance perfectly.

In this classroom that everyone was so proud of, Chisui fell asleep. Everyone looked down on this, thinking that a country bumpkin had entered the elegant hall of art.

In this class, Shang Anqi was always welcomed by the teacher. Not long after the class started, the teacher asked several questions, and Shang Anqi answered them almost every time.

Shang Anqi has certainly garnered a lot of attention.

Luo Xinyue was first in the class, but her position was more like that of class monitor and academic representative, while Shang Anqi was more like the class's arts and culture representative. In art class, Luo Xinyue was too lazy to compete with her.

Shang Anqi garnered applause and attention, a smug smile on her face. She sat down and glanced at Luo Xinyue.

That look in his eyes was like a declaration of war.

Of course, Shang Anqi also noticed Qian Sui, who was sleeping on her desk.

The teacher praised Shang Anqi, saying, "As expected of our Shang Anqi, her insights into art are truly unique."

Shang Anqi usually puts on a good act, exuding the air of a socialite heiress, and many boys in her class are her admirers.

Although Chitose had made a few appearances in previous classes, in this money-obsessed world, Chitose, who was 'poor and powerless,' was not noticed by anyone.

Even if someone is liked, people feel embarrassed to show it off and only dare to like them secretly.

After all, girls like Shang Anqi, who come from good families and have good talents, are the mainstream.

Everyone knows about the feud between Qian Sui and Shang Anqi, but after being instigated by Shang Anqi's side, everyone thinks that it is because Qian Sui, this country bumpkin, came to this school and regarded the dazzling Shang Anqi as her rival.

Therefore, Qian Sui began to target Shang Anqi.

Now that Shang Anqi is being praised, some boys naturally want to put her down and flatter her. They saw that Qian Sui was sleeping and started talking.

"As expected of our goddess Shang, she is a true lady from a prominent family, unlike some people who come from the countryside. No matter how good they are in other classes, they can't hide their poor and shabby air."

As soon as he spoke, some people chuckled in hushed tones.

When asked about coming from the countryside, everyone looked at Chisui in unison. After seeing that Chisui was sleeping, everyone agreed with the boy's statement.

Everyone thought that only a country bumpkin with a little bit of artistic talent would find the Introduction to Art course boring.

Qian Sui was still asleep. Luo Xinyue heard everyone's snickers and felt their gazes. She responded with an annoyed look.

Seeing Luo Xinyue's gaze, some people became much more well-behaved.

However, the girls around Shang Anqi and her admirers continued to cause trouble.

A girl next to Shang Anqi said, "Don't say that. Our classmate Qian Sui may have tried very hard to listen in class, but she still couldn't understand, so she fell asleep. We should understand."
