Chapter 15: Chapter 15

Right after she walked out of the washroom, Su Junxin’s face instantly darkened.

‘In the entire Shi Yan High School, there are only two people who know about my family’s situation… Su Yi and He Wei.’

‘I still have something against Su Yi in my hands, so there’s no way she’d be so foolish to come against me at this moment. So, that leaves He Wei as the only possibility.’

When she passed by the second year (10) class, she purposefully looked inside through the windows casually.

He Wei seemed to be talking about something happily with a few of her classmates who were beside her. But suddenly, she felt a chill on the back of her spine.

She reflexively turned her head over, only to meet a pair of cold eyes outside by the window.

When Su Junxin noticed that He Wei had noticed her, she gently winked and mouthed some words.

“Game on.”

Instantly, He Wei seemed as if she had seen a ghost, and her pupils dilated; the smile on her face instantly froze.

It was not until Su Junxin’s figure had completely disappeared behind the door that He Wei regained her senses.

“Hey, Weiwei, wasn’t that person just now, Su Junxin?”

“Pfft, what would a freak like her have to gloat? If it were up to me, the prettiest woman in our school should be Weiwei!”

“He Wei, did she really get plastic surgery done? Why can’t I tell at all?”

He Wei blinked for a while to hide the nervousness she had beneath her eyes before she raised her head and spoke to them with a smile on her face.

“I’m sure about that. However, technology is so advanced now, so it isn’t strange that there aren’t any traces of it being done. It’s possible that she found a surgeon who is very highly skilled…”

Su Junxin had not returned to her own classroom yet. She noticed a bunch of people from afar who were curiously looking inside from the window sill.

When they saw that she had appeared, the bunch of people whispered amongst themselves for a moment before hurriedly scurrying away. However, they kept on glancing at her secretly through the edges of their eyes.

‘Am I really that scary?’

Su Junxin raised her eyebrow as she thought that it was weird. Then, she stepped into the front door of her classroom.

Soon, she realized that the person who had actually scared them away was not her but… Youfeng.

Youfeng was seated in front of her table, shaking his legs as he flipped through an exercise book.

Suddenly, he raised his head, and when he noticed that Su Junxin was looking in his way, he hurriedly got up from his seat and quickly walked in front of her.

“Boss, I heard that there have been some rumors about you being spread. Would you like for us to investigate this matter?”

Su Junxin glanced at the classroom, which had instantly fallen silent and felt a little helpless.

“Let’s talk outside.”

The crowd watched as the two of them walked outside, one behind the other. Soon, the classroom became noisy and began to cause a commotion.

“What the f*ck!? Su Junxin actually knows Youfeng?”

“I told you she’s definitely not that simple; she might even be in a gang!”

“Do you think they might have that kind of relationship…? I heard that Youfeng has a lot of girlfriends…”

“I think so… Youfeng especially loves the beautiful ones. Plus, Su Junxin has just been selected as the prettiest woman, so isn’t this too coincidental?”

“I’ve got a deduction! Do you think she was able to be selected because of Youfeng?”

With a “slam,” the women’s chatter was interrupted.

Qin You slammed an exercise book and gently tugged the edge of his lips.

His gaze glanced through the few people’s faces, and there was no hint of a smile beneath his eyes.

“Who’s the group leader for the random recital of texts?”

One of the women carefully raised her hands with her face gone red. “It’s… It’s me.”

“Has your group finished reciting everything?” Qin You asked in a deep voice.

She was startled for a moment before she quietly answered, “Not yet.”

“Then, hurry up and take this opportunity to recite.”

After he said that, he picked up his exercise book once again before he turned around to leave.

However, the woman who had spoken first merely frowned and raised her voice to call out to him. “Qin You, isn’t the deadline for this recital on Wednesday? It’s not even that urgent yet.”

Qin You stopped in his tracks and turned his head around to look at her expressionlessly.

His voice was a little cold. “This is an honors class… if you don’t find it urgent, you shouldn’t stop others from studying.” After he said that, he looked at the rest of them. “One takes on the color of one’s company. I believe you should all understand the logic behind this, shouldn’t you?”

The group leader was stunned for a moment before she hurriedly nodded her head. “We understand; we’ll definitely study properly!”

When he heard that, Qin You finally revealed a smile, it was as if the cold demeanor he had a moment ago was just a figment of their imagination.

“Right, let’s all work hard together then.”

After Su Junxin ordered Youfeng not to interfere, she returned to her seat.

She kept everything that was on her desk into her drawer and suddenly seemed to have noticed something. Then, she stopped what she was doing to look at Qin You. 

“Qin You, aren’t you curious why Youfeng and I know each other?”

Qin You shook his head and used his sparkling black and innocent eyes to look at her with an elated smile on his face.

“I am curious, but I was waiting to see if you would talk about it on your own accord.”

Su Junxin was slightly startled and could not help but laugh.

“Alright then. Actually, how I came to know him… was rather complicated. However, there’s no need for you to worry; he and I aren’t considered friends yet.”

‘I’m just his boss, and he’s my subordinate, that’s all.’ Su Junxin silently added that sentence in her thoughts.

Qin You’s smile became a little deeper. “Alright, I understand now… Would you like some candy?”

“Yes, please.” She reached out her hand to receive it. Then, she opened up the wrapping paper and placed the candy in her mouth.

The sweet nectarine flavor instantly rushed into her mouth. As she gently bit into it, she suddenly realized that there was a cooling mint hidden within the candy.

Qin You smiled as he asked her, “Do you like it?”

Su Junxin nodded her head. “This filing is actually pretty surprising.”

She met his gaze, and a thought suddenly flashed through her mind as she spoke out without a second thought, “It feels like you – sweet and harmless on the outside, but different on the inside…”

Just as she said that, she instantly realized what she had just said. She was just about to explain herself when she suddenly saw that he was actually laughing wholeheartedly.

He raised his finger to point at her mouth, and his smile turned a little narrow.

“What a coincidence! The candy I ate is a fruity one with a mint filling, the same as yours.”

Su Junxin was momentarily startled as she looked at him in a daze.

Right at that moment, the bell to signify the start of class rang.
