Chapter 88 - An Ostracized Jinx (1/2)

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

With help from memories from her previous life, Yun Xi located the Academic Affairs Office and reported her attendance to her homeroom teacher first.

Teacher Xu, her homeroom teacher, saw her, and then remembered orders from above to take special care of her, so he took her along to the cla.s.sroom.

It just so happened that the first cla.s.s in the afternoon was his Chinese cla.s.s. Teacher Xu introduced the newly transferred Yun Xi to the cla.s.s from the podium.

Standing on the podium, Yun Xi glanced at the cla.s.sroom nonchalantly and saw Liang Xinyi, as expected.

Cla.s.ses 1, 2, and 3 were all advanced cla.s.ses. Yun Xi and Liang Xinyi were both transfer students and had been a.s.signed to cla.s.s 3.

Liang Xinyi had been busy making connections with people all over the cla.s.sroom throughout the morning. While she did so, she was also throwing Yun Xi under the bus.

She’d been spreading so much antipathy that when Yun Xi arrived in the cla.s.sroom, everyone tacitly looked toward Liang Xinyi.

There really were two transfer students in the cla.s.s.

All her cla.s.smates stared at her with bizarre expressions. With an impa.s.sive expression, Yun Xi stared at Liang Xinyi, who had an insufferably smug expression on her face.

Teacher Xu a.s.signed her seating. “Yang Lu, the new cla.s.smate Yun Xi will be sitting next to you.”

“Teacher!” Yang Luzhan stood up with an unhappy expression. “Teacher, I don’t want to sit at the same desk with her!”

“Why? Students should help each other out, shouldn’t they?”

“It also depends on who it is! Her cousin said that she was a jinx. If she sits next to me and gives me bad luck, what should I do if I don’t get into college? I don’t want to sit at the same table with her.”

“As a student in your junior year of high school, how can you be so superst.i.tious! Learning depends on personal diligence and knowledge. If it really was such a supernatural process, you might as well go to the temple every day to burn incense and wors.h.i.+p Buddha.”

“I just don’t want to sit with her.”

Yun Xi pursed her lips and turned to look at Teacher Xu, “Teacher, I will sit alone in the back row.”

The desks and chairs in the cla.s.sroom were all in a row with two people per desk, so she wouldn’t be affecting anyone by moving a desk to sit alone in the back.

“Are you nearsighted? Will you be able to see the blackboard from back there?”

“No, I’m not nearsighted. I can see just fine.”

“That’s good! You can move a table to the end of the middle row. If the seating position isn’t good enough, you can let me know.”
