Damn it, just what does Miss Su see in this Meng Huange person?
Is it her hair color? Or that face? Or is it her intelligence?
Du Xinxin glared fiercely at the back of the brown-haired girl’s head through her own bangs, while silently doodling something on her paper.
…Sigh, the moment she saw Meng Huange getting out of Miss Su’s car, Du Xinxin had a vague sense of foreboding. She never thought that this time, her premonition would come true.
The relationship between Su Wanli and Meng Huange was obviously not simple at all.
…Honestly, Du Xinxin didn’t have any special feelings toward Su Wanli. She only followed her orders to have someone to rely on, nothing more.
As the daughter of the owner of a small supermarket, Du Xinxin’s status in Class Three, Year Two was the lowest of the low. Her parents only sent her to Baiying Academy to keep up with the trend and prove themselves.
But in this place, there were people far more impressive than her everywhere.
Usually, everyone was just classmates and wouldn’t say anything, but once conflict arose, they’d put on a superior face and mock her for being just the daughter of a convenience store owner…
Only Su Wanli wouldn’t do that. She would just pass by quietly and then, with a smile to everyone, say, “Isn’t your family just selling cars too?”
Du Xinxin knew that, at her core, Su Wanli just looked down on everyone. But after that, to avoid being bullied, Du Xinxin shamelessly stuck to Su Wanli’s side, pretending to be her subordinate. Unknowingly, more than a semester had already passed.
Actually, she had thought about seriously seeking Su Wanli’s protection, but to Su Wanli, she had no value. Just like everyone else said, she was only the child of a small supermarket…
It didn’t matter. To Su Wanli, everyone in the world was about the same. Only the Baiying from the previous rumors could barely be considered her equal, but from what Du Xinxin had observed, the two of them didn’t even seem to know each other, let alone dislike each other.
That’s Su Wanli—a cold person who would even look down on someone like Young Master Bai, who everyone else adored.
This impression had lasted until this morning.
Just like usual, Du Xinxin stood at the school gate, quietly waiting for the Sujia car, following Su Wanli’s footsteps, and entering the classroom right after her.
However…
…How, how could this be? The person who got out of the car wasn’t anyone she recognized—it was a complete stranger!?
Could it be that there was another person who liked the color scheme of Su Wanli’s car?
No, that driver was the same one Su Wanli always used!
“Potato Lei, what are you staring at?”
Just as Du Xinxin was lost in confusion, a hand suddenly slapped her shoulder.
“Hey, you spacing out?”
Du Xinxin turned her head silently. In front of her were two familiar faces.
Liu Shiyu and Wen Manman—also known as Little Pink and Big Strong…
For some reason, these two had always hovered around Su Wanli with her since a long time ago.
Heh, they probably just wanted to latch onto Miss Su’s power and wealth. She herself would never stoop to hang out with people like that…
Well, it’s not like she didn’t care about those things herself.
From afar, Liu Shiyu glanced at the brown-haired girl and the luxury car, raised her chin, and immediately spoke up—
“Ah, isn’t that Miss Su’s car? Who’s the person getting out?”
“I’ll go ask…”
Seeing Wen Manman about to walk over, Du Xinxin quickly grabbed her school jacket—
“Are you stupid!? You can’t just walk up like that! Do you even know who she is?”
“Huh? No, I don’t. Then what should we do?”
Du Xinxin gnawed on her finger as she watched that person from a distance.
“…Let’s observe first.”
But the girl didn’t reveal any information through her actions. Instead, she just sat by the fountain, provocatively crossing her legs and staring off into the sky…
…Damn it, what kind of pose is that supposed to be? Where did Miss Su go!?
Just as Du Xinxin finally couldn’t hold back her urge to go over and question her, the two people beside her suddenly spoke up.
“Uh… class is about to start.”
“I was already late last semester. The Homeroom Teacher said if he catches me again, I won’t have to come back.”
Seriously, these two are so spineless.
…Forget it, I really can’t keep wasting time here. My family isn’t like the Sujia. If I get caught by the teachers a few more times, I’ll be doomed. Besides, what if Su Wanli already went to the classroom…
—Nope.
—Not only was she not there, but after waiting for ages, Su Wanli came to the classroom together with that person.
If that was all, it wouldn’t be so bad, but judging from how Su Wanli acted when introducing Meng Huange…
This is bad…
“Wow, Su Boss’s new little follower is so impressive, we’re totally getting overshadowed now, huh?”
Zhang Shiyu was still joking in her light tone. Could she really not see what was going on?
“It’s not that big a deal. That person looks skinny and small. I was second place in the shot put at the school sports meet, you know?”
Wen, just shut up already.
Du Xinxin silently sighed and rubbed her forehead.
From past experience, it seemed Su Wanli was serious this time.
She, who never cared about anyone else’s situation, was actually mad because Meng Huange didn’t perform well enough…
So that’s how it is…
This must be the love hidden deep in Miss Su’s heart!
Damn it, just what is it about this person that she loves? Is it her light brown long hair? Or is it that cool and outstanding aura? Or maybe it’s that flawless face?
Annoying girl, I curse all your hair to fall out…
Hearing the scratching of pen on paper, Liu Shiyu and Wen Manman both leaned over—
“…Potato Lei, what are you drawing on your paper?”
“A cursed version of Maoshan Daoist arts, found it online.”
You’re supposed to write the other person’s name at the end—what was it again? Something like ‘A Song for the Departed’…
Ah, wait, I think I just felt Miss Su’s gaze!
Du Xinxin immediately looked up and glanced in Su Wanli’s direction.
—She was…gritting her teeth and staring at Meng Huange, while Meng Huange smiled as she drew something in her notebook…
Ah, is this the legendary note-passing?
…Are they flirting?
Looking carefully, there was indeed a faint blush on Su Wanli’s face…
How could it be, that once so untouchable Su Wanli, would show such an expression like a young girl in love…
What’s going on? Why does the world suddenly feel so dim…
A sense of loneliness and solitude enveloped Du Xinxin’s heart.
“Damn it, that person is so close to Su Boss, it’s so frustrating to watch!”
Liu Shiyu frowned as she watched the scene, then popped a lollipop in her mouth.
Heh, Little Pink’s feelings are so shallow. My feelings for Su Wanli are much more complicated, much harder to describe. For example…
Sitting beside her, Wen Manman let out a heavy sigh—
“…Sigh, it’s like, even though we were here first, a stranger just swooped in and got ahead of us. And then realizing we never even entered Su Boss’s eyes, the frustration and loneliness in my heart…
What’s with your way of expressing things? Are you still Big Strong? Give me more of those honest, goofy comments!
Rather than loneliness, Du Xinxin felt even more defeated for a moment, and silently shifted her gaze back to Su Wanli’s back.
Sigh, in the end, Miss Su is human too. She just hadn’t met anyone who interested her before—all she ever saw were boring people like me…
It was my misunderstanding of Su Wanli that was wrong, so I have no right to wallow in self-pity here…
Wait, wait, is Su Boss facing us right now? It looks like she’s making some kind of gesture to the three of us.
…Down, left, circle, then points at Meng Huange, and holds up one finger?
…What does that mean?
Liu Shiyu, with a lollipop in her mouth, mumbled—
“Huh? Is Su Boss telling us to go left after class? She wants to meet us for a talk?”
Wen Manman nodded seriously.
“Yeah, and it looks like she wants us to sneak over, like she doesn’t want Meng Huange to know.”
No, how did you two even figure that out!? Su Wanli’s never communicated with us like this before!
“Ah, she tossed over a note.”
Liu Shiyu spread out the note Su Wanli threw over on the desk, and Big Strong read it out, word by word—
“…After class, meet at the corner downstairs, something to discuss, keep an eye on Meng Huange…”
Looking at their “I knew it” expressions, Du Xinxin started to doubt her own loyalty.
No way…
…Could it be, I’m actually the one standing furthest outside the circle?
