Chapter 40 - Happy New Semester!

Feeling Qi Yu’s body suddenly stiffen, Rong Ruo said happily, “What happened yesterday was all my fault. I shouldn’t have said those things to you. I didn’t sleep at all last night…”

Her sweet voice was filled with grievance and guilt.

Seeing the girl’s pale complexion through the rearview mirror, Qi Yu’s heart ached terribly, he held Rong Ruo’s hand and said, “Look at you, you’re still acting like a child. Today is the first day of school, how can you not sleep the whole night? And how can you blame yourself for this? If you want to blame someone, you should blame Su Ye and Yunli.”

Rong Ruo thought for a moment and said softly, “Actually, you can’t blame Yunli.”

She conveniently did not mention Su Ye.

“Qi Yu, this won’t affect the business between your families, right?”

“Even if it wasn’t for what happened yesterday, the Bo family might not cooperate with us.” Qi Yu gently turned the steering wheel. “Believe me, I will definitely surpass Bo Yunli in the future. When that happens, it will be his turn to beg me to work with him!”

Rong Ruo did not comment. No matter what, it was all thanks to her planning that she had managed to get Qi Yu to expose this matter. Otherwise, the unlucky ones now would be her and the Rong family.

—

There were 23 third-year classes in the First High School in the capital. The first four were the Shining Rocket Classes, the last four were the Unrestrained Snail Classes, and the rest were the Calm Parallel Classes.

The first floor was for the Snail Classes, the second and third floors were for the Parallel Classes, the fourth floor, which was the quietest, was for the Rocket Classes. Finally, the fifth floor was for the teacher’s offices.

It was a hierarchy. The people at the bottom could only look up in envy,

Coincidentally, Rong Ruo and Su Ye happened to enter the teaching building at the same time.

“Also…”

Su Ye did not wait for her to speak. She carried her school bag with one hand and put the other hand in her pocket. She went straight to Class 23 on the first floor.

Rong Ruo looked at her back and proudly swished the ponytail behind her head. She turned around and went up to the fourth floor.

In Grade 12 Class 23, the head teacher was a math teacher named Zhang Guangqiu. He was nicknamed Bald Guang because there was not a single hair growing on his head.

When Su Ye entered the classroom, the students in the class were all seated haphazardly.

Perhaps it was because her temperament made her look different, but as soon as she entered the classroom, the boys in the class started talking about her.

“Hey hey hey, don’t you guys feel that Su Ye has become more beautiful?”

“What would make a woman change her appearance over a summer vacation?”

“A man.”

Su’s heroic deeds of chasing after the famous Qi Yu and then madly licking the boots of the big shot’s fiancé, Bo Yunli, had long been spread in the school.

Zhang Guangqiu slammed the test paper on the table. “Quiet!”

He first motioned for Su Ye to quickly sit down, then swept his gaze across the class, he said earnestly, “Aren’t you all nervous about the first day of school? Aren’t you afraid? Aren’t you anxious? The second, third, and fourth floors are silent. Only our first floor is still chattering non-stop. What is wrong with you lot?”

Zhang Guangqiu sweated whenever he was angry, and the top of his head lit up even more when he sweated.

The students pursed their lips and laughed.

Su Ye quickly adapted to the harsh learning atmosphere of her niece. They arranged the seats, and Su Ye was assigned to the last row because she was tall.

Gu Qi, who sat at the same table, was a rather thin girl. She had a standard student’s haircut and looked quite well-behaved. She was different from those hooligans who joked around.

Ever since Su Ye sat down, Gu Qi’s entire body trembled violently.

It was not autumn yet. So why was she cold?

Gu Qi quietly turned her head and happened to meet Su Ye’s inquisitive gaze.

Suddenly, their eyes met, making Gu Qi even more nervous.

She did not give up. She took out ten yuan from her pocket and handed it to Su Ye, saying in a low voice, “Happy new semester! Please accept it!”
