"I think He Nianzhi must be a reincarnation of a jinx. Anyone who runs into her is doomed. Didn't He Nianzhi come back three days ago? And then, her dorm got a scolding from that witch Teacher Li, and everyone got a major demerit! A major demerit!"
"Wow!"
"I know Lin Shaoqi and the others. They're really nice people. They even treated me to snacks. Lin Shaoqi and the others were scolded by the witch. Do you think it might be He Nianzhi or something?" The man made a gesture as if asking for money, which instantly stunned everyone.
"No way?"
"He Nianzhi's family doesn't have much of anything, except money."
"What a wicked woman, bribing a teacher."
As they were talking, the topic veered off course, and they took off running into another world.
Ji Xiaoxiao listened but didn't take it to heart at all.
"Hmph, He Nianzhi's arrogance won't last long. He Nianzhi returned three days ago, but Prince Feng Huan was away from school because he was participating in the National Mathematical Olympiad. The competition ended yesterday, and Prince Feng Huan won first place. He should be back this afternoon. When Prince Feng Huan returns, we'll just wait and see He Nianzhi's tearful, pear-blossom-like face!"
Ji Xiaoxiao stopped in her tracks. No wonder she didn't see Feng Huan when she came back that day. She thought he was avoiding her, but she never expected that he had gone to participate in the competition.
"The math Olympiad!"
Generally speaking, participation in competitions requires a registration fee. The National Mathematical Olympiad that Feng Huan participated in not only had a large registration fee, but also required food, lodging, and transportation for the three days of the competition, which amounted to a considerable sum.
As everyone knows, Feng Huan's family was extremely poor and struggling to make ends meet. The expenses Feng Huan needed to participate in the competition were all scraped together by the original owner of this body.
I poured my heart out to you, but you wanted my heart and lungs in return.
The original owner was completely devoted to Feng Huan, no wonder Feng Huan could be so domineering towards him!
Feng Huan is back. Perfect timing, it's time to settle the score.
After three days of rest, Ji Xiaoxiao no longer spent her time in a daze during class. She listened attentively and the time passed quickly.
"Ring ring," it's time for get out of class to end.
Let's go eat!
"Let's go play ball."
People who knew each other would call on their friends and travel together, while Ji Xiaoxiao was all alone, wandering around the campus by herself.
The largest and best high school in City A occupies a vast area. Behind the teaching buildings is a sports field, and behind the sports field is a small grove of trees, through which a stream meanders. The stream is crystal clear, and several small fish, hearing footsteps, dart away with a whoosh.
Ji Xiaoxiao squatted down and put her hand into the stream.
A cool sensation traveled from her hands to her brain, and Ji Xiaoxiao shivered.
After playing for a while, Ji Xiaoxiao stood up, rubbed her slightly numb feet, and saw a pavilion not far away. She quickly walked over.
Upon closer inspection, a young boy was sitting in the pavilion.
The boy had rosy lips and white teeth, and his perfectly styled short hair exuded the beauty of youth. He was reading with his head down, his expression gentle, and his star-like eyes sparkled with a faint joy. As his slender fingers turned the pages, Ji Xiaoxiao could clearly see the jade-like bones beneath his skin.
Though his body was that of a high school student, his soul was that of an old man. High school was an important stage in life, and Ji Xiaoxiao didn't want to disturb the boy's studies. She silently encouraged him and then turned to walk away.
The moment Ji Xiaoxiao turned around, the boy closed his book, his deep eyes shimmering with affection as he looked at her. A gentle breeze blew through the woods, carrying with it an alluring, wine-like scent that filled the pavilion; a deep breath was enough to intoxicate the soul.
Back near the teaching building, Ji Xiaoxiao unfortunately ran into Feng Huan, who was surrounded by people.
Alright, Ji Xiaoxiao's good mood is completely over.
"Oh, isn't this He Nianzhi, the eldest daughter of the He family?" said one of Feng Huan's lackeys.
"A good dog doesn't block the way. You know I'm the eldest daughter of the He family and you still won't let me pass? Do you want to die?" Ji Xiaoxiao said arrogantly without even looking at Feng Huan.
The lackey, young and hot-blooded, was furious after being indirectly scolded by Ji Xiaoxiao.
"I'll let it slide this time for Brother Feng's sake."
The He family was indeed not someone he could afford to offend, but backing down would be a loss of face. By bringing up Feng Huan, he cleverly saved face for himself.
Ji Xiaoxiao sneered, "What face can someone who lives under someone else's roof have? Everything he eats, drinks, lives in, and wears is paid for with my He family's money. Without my He family's support and help, Feng Huan would probably still be scavenging for garbage and living a hard life!"
“You…” Feng Huan reached out and grabbed the lackey. “Don’t be impulsive. It’s just a mad dog barking and howling. Why should you bother arguing with a beast?”
Feng Huan openly helped the lackey, but secretly he was insulting Ji Xiaoxiao and calling her a beast.
"Beast? Feng Huan, you're something else." Ji Xiaoxiao's face darkened.
"Yeah, yeah, Brother Feng, you're right. I'm a human being, I shouldn't lower myself to argue with a dog in the street," the lackey clapped his hands happily.
Upon hearing this, Ji Xiaoxiao slapped the lackey across the face.
"You dare hit me?" The lackey was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand to retaliate.
Ji Xiaoxiao stood still and said, "If you want to continue to operate in City A, you'd better not provoke me. If He Nianzhi gets angry, the consequences will be severe."
This was a kind reminder from Ji Xiaoxiao.
The He family wields immense power in City A; these small, insignificant families cannot afford to offend them.
The lackey angrily lowered his hand, retreated to the back, gritted his teeth, and drew circles to curse Ji Xiaoxiao, wishing her a terrible death.
By attacking his subordinate in front of the boss, Ji Xiaoxiao's actions caused Feng Huan to lose face completely.
"He Nianzhi, do you not want to get back together?" Feng Huan whispered in Ji Xiaoxiao's ear.
Ji Xiaoxiao took several steps back and said loudly, "Feng Huan, where do you get the confidence to think that I can't live without you? Three-legged toads are hard to find, but there are plenty of handsome young men who are brave, intelligent, rich, and powerful. Let me tell you today, I don't care about you, Feng Huan. I wouldn't even take you if you were given to me for free."
