Chapter 36 The Queen
After the first morning's exams ended, a group of students went to eat, all looking listless.
Even when Xia Zhen was having lunch with the girls in her class, she was asked how she did on the exam. After thinking for a moment, she said conservatively, "I probably didn't do very well."
Actually, before the exam, many people said that Xia Zhen would definitely not do well. She transferred from a prestigious private school, and putting aside whether she was suitable for the learning style of No. 1 High School, the children of wealthy families probably didn't pay much attention to their studies.
In addition, many people subconsciously believe that the prettier the girl, the more attention she pays to her clothes and appearance, and naturally she won't be good at studying.
This kind of prejudice seems to be only natural.
Xia Zhen hurriedly finished her meal. She cherished the opportunity to be alone with Lu Jin, especially when there was no one else in the classroom, which made it convenient for them to talk about their love.
But something unexpected happened today. Xia Zhen was stopped by several girls while walking in the corridor of the teaching building.
"Xia Zhen, right?" A short-haired girl glanced at Xia Zhen from head to toe and said in a displeased tone, "Our boss wants to see you."
Xia Zhen glanced at the girls around her and politely smiled, "Can I not go?"
The short-haired girl raised an eyebrow. "What do you think?"
The girls around him took a step closer.
Xia Zhen sighed.
Speaking of school bullying, Xia Zhen has experienced it herself, back in junior high school.
Because she was Song Heng's only childhood sweetheart, and because of her good family background, she always received more preferential treatment, so one day, she was cornered at the stairwell.
Xia Zhen was annoyed by the unoriginal things those people were saying, so she decided to "fall" down the stairs.
Xia Yu, who was on a business trip abroad, chartered a plane back to China that same day. Faced with the apologies from the parents of those children, Xia Yu did not show much emotional fluctuation.
Just as they breathed a sigh of relief and were about to leave, Xia Yu said indifferently, "Perhaps if you spend more time at home with your children, it will be better for their education."
I heard that during that period, financial news frequently reported on Xia's Group acquiring various companies, and it was after that that no one dared to provoke Xia Zhen anymore.
At least those people don't dare to openly oppose her.
Xia Zhen followed several girls to the back of the Arts and Sports Building. There was a small pavilion there, which was usually not frequented by many people. In addition, since it had become the base of an unknown girls' group, even fewer people would pass by here.
A long-haired girl with beautiful curly hair was sitting in the pavilion, drinking milk tea and scrolling through her phone.
This was the first time Xia Zhen had seen a student so openly playing on their phone since she came to the school. She guessed that every school has a few particularly unique students.
The short-haired girl leaned over and said, "Boss, Xia Zhen is here."
She finally put down her phone and turned her gaze to Xia Zhen.
Xia Zhen had the illusion that she was like a cabbage, being picked over and discarded.
After sizing Xia Zhen up, the girl crossed her arms and asked, "Do you know who I am?"
Xia Zhen shook her head. "I don't know."
"You've been here for a while now, and I didn't even know? Your information is really outdated." The girl glanced at the person next to her.
The short-haired girl immediately said, "Our leader is Lü Wang from Class 3 of Senior Three!"
Xia Zhen: "The Queen?"
The short-haired girl said, "You even know that our boss is respectfully called the Queen in the underworld, so you're not so out of touch after all!"
Xia Zhen smiled, "I wonder what Your Majesty has summoned me for?"
“It’s simple.” Lu Wang said slowly, crossing his legs, “You stay away from Su Nuo.”
Xia Zhen didn't care about Su Nuo at all. She blinked and asked, "Can I ask a question that I'm really concerned about?"
Lu Wang asked bluntly, "What do you want to ask?"
Xia Zhen smiled and asked, "How do you take such good care of your hair?"
Almost half of the students in Class 1 of Senior Three have returned to the classroom.
She hasn't come back yet.
Lu Jin lowered his eyes and sat quietly for a long time. Even though the classroom was noisy, he could still hear the tiny ticking of the clock on the wall.
The minute hand moved once more.
He tidied up the things on the table and pushed his wheelchair out of the classroom himself.
The people in the classroom immediately turned their attention to him, and they were all more or less surprised. This was because Lu Jin always had a fixed time for his actions, and everyone was used to it. This was the first time they had seen Lu Jin make an exception.
The math class representative nudged his deskmate, "Hey, where do you think he's going? To the bathroom?"
The class representative for Chinese suddenly raised her voice and said, "On my way back, I saw Xia Zhen being called away by some girls from Class 3. Could it be that the female bully from Class 3 is going to cause trouble for Xia Zhen? I heard that whenever she has someone she doesn't like, she likes to call them to the pavilion behind the Arts and Sports Building to teach them a lesson."
Lu Jin lowered his eyebrows slightly.
The boy who walked out of the classroom seemed even colder.
The math class representative asked his deskmate curiously, "Why are you saying so much?"
The class representative for Chinese language glanced at him and said, "I just wanted to say it."
"You think... the goddess really got bullied by that female bully from Class 3?"
"Only innocent flowers get bullied; carnivorous plants don't."
The math class representative asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"
The class representative for Chinese sighed, "Talking to you is an insult to my intelligence."
Gao Ling, who had been sitting in her seat reading a book, left her seat and walked over to Su Nuo, tapping on his desk.
Su Nuo, who was doing her homework, looked up. "Class monitor, is something wrong?"
Gao Ling said expressionlessly, "You are responsible for resolving the problems you caused."
Su Nuo hadn't been distracted, so he had no idea what had happened.
Gao Ling added, "Xia Zhen was approached by people from Class Three."
Su Nuo paused slightly, then pushed up his glasses, stood up, and left the classroom.
The closer Lu Jin got, the more he could hear the girl's voice.
"So the water temperature for washing your hair should be around 50 degrees Celsius. This way, when your scalp comes into contact with the air after washing, it won't suddenly get cold, thus better protecting your scalp. Also, you shouldn't blow-dry your hair immediately after washing it. You should massage your scalp with your fingertips to promote blood circulation in your head... You do so many steps every time and you can still stick to it. You're amazing."
“Of course.” Lü Wang tucked a strand of long hair behind her ear and said with a smug smile, “Beauty always comes at a price.”
Xia Zhen clapped in admiration, and the next second, upon seeing a figure not far away, she exclaimed with delight, "Lu Jin!"
Then she couldn't wait to run to his side.
Lu Jin restrained himself from holding her hand, but his eyes looked her up and down, and only after confirming that she hadn't been taken advantage of did his tense nerves relax a little.
