Chapter 5 (1/2)

Meanwhile at the other side, Mingxi was entering the International Class through the back door. It was still lunchtime and the air-conditioner was blowing out cold air, but no one in the class was asleep. They were all looking at her.

There were only two types of people in this class: Fu Yangxi’s friends and Fu Yangxi’s followers.

The students who were at the podium quickly walked down while the students who were leaning on their chairs sat up straight.

As for Fu Yangxi— the actual school hunk, with his red bed head, silver noise-cancelling headphones hanging on his neck and a skeleton chain on his chest which were both arrogant and silly, he looked over at her. He was sitting on the table with one foot on the chair. His legs were crossed and the look in his eyes were cold as he watched her walk in.

There were more than forty pairs of eyes looking at her. Mingxi was under a lot of stress.

When she saw that her books were still stacked on the table beside Fu Yangxi and that no one had thrown her books to the stinky sewers yet, she let out a small breath of relief.

She pushed through the pressure and walked over.

Once she got there, Mingxi couldn’t help but to suck in a deep breath.

Sorry, the luck with the scent of dried pine smelled too good. She couldn’t control herself. The moment she inhaled, even her Feng Chi* was cleared.

ray’s note: also known as Acupressure Point GB20. it is located by feeling for the mastoid (ear) bone and following the groove back to where the neck muscles attach to the skull. Feng Chi is recommended for headache, migraine, eye blurriness or fatigue, low energy, and cold/flu symptoms.

?

Fu Yangxi’s gaze which consisted of 30% arrogance, 30% indifference and 40% callousness almost faltered.

His followers said that the first time this girl saw him, she immediately rushed over to take a whiff out of him. He didn’t believe it then— But now she had actually f*king walked up to him and sucked in a deep breath. If she wasn’t inhaling his scent then what was she doing?!

Before Fu Yangxi could build up his cool front again, the tips of his ears flushed red due to anger. “What the f*ck are you trying to do? Seeing as how you helped me run those 30 laps, I allowed you to sit beside me all morning. But this doesn’t mean that you can continue to sit by my side!”

“But there’s nowhere else to sit in class.” Mingxi discussed with him calmly. “There’s just the seat beside you. If I don’t sit here, I can only move my table to the last row and sit all by myself.”

Mingxi had her mask on. Her black medium-length hair was tucked behind her ears and her voice sounded a little hoarse.

Fu Yangxi averted his gaze from her long eyelashes. He unconsciously took a look around the class. All of the followers immediately sat up straight. Aside from the seat beside him, there really wasn’t any extra space for another.

Wait—

“Why should I solve your problem?” Fu Yangxi abruptly realized. He said in annoyance, “It’s none of my business.”

Ke Chengwen couldn’t help himself and teased Mingxi, “Transfer student, you don’t have to sit beside our Xi ge. Since you’ve already made it to the same class, there’s ample time for you to do what you want.”

As he was speaking, two students walked over and were prepared to take Mingxi’s table away.

She won’t be able to get closer to Fu Yangxi’s luck if she sits anywhere else. While there were other students in the International Class with faint light on them, they were all too weak and were almost no difference to zero. Furthermore, she heard that Jiang Xiuqiu who was No. 2 on the list wasn’t here today because he’s down with the flu.

There was no way that she could settle for the next best thing which was to approach Shen Liyao in the neighbouring class. Besides, as Shen Liyao was someone that she as the villainess in her past life had liked, he was related to the villain and thus the return rate wouldn’t be as high as Fu Yangxi’s.

All in all it came down to one sentence: Fu Yangxi was a walking iced watermelon in the middle of summer!

“No. I want to sit here!” Mingxi hurriedly pressed down the table with her palm.

Seeing as how the two boys were still moving, she directly threw her upper body on the table and hugged it.

Everyone’s eyes widened and jaws dropped upon seeing this.

While Mingxi was slumped down, her loose uniform rested on her back, showing off her slim figure.

Fu Yangxi felt as if he could smell a faint fragrance rushing to him.

His ears immediately flushed red. He jumped down from the table with a furious look and cursed mentally.

He was being pestered by a girl who was a head shorter than him!

Seeing as how Fu Yangxi was still glaring at her angrily, Mingxi quickly straightened her back and offered him the dessert in her hands.

“How about this, let’s make a deal. I’ll use these two slices of dessert in exchange for the right to sit here, okay?”

“Then if you still want more, I can make them for you.”

“What is this thing covered in a plastic bag?” Fu Yangxi took it with an expression of disgust. In the end, the scent of a soft and sweet cake entered his nostrils.

Even by the smell he knew that it was delicious.

She even knew that he liked to eat sweet foods. She was definitely more attentive than any of his previous pursuers who would only wildly guess what he liked.

The fluffy golden tail behind Fu Yangxi was wagging in excitement.

Even Ke Chengwen who had stretched out his neck couldn’t help but to gulp.

“Only one afternoon.” Fu Yangxi pushed away Ke Chengwen’s head. With the sweets in his arms, he lifted his head to show his chin and put up an undermining appearance, as if saying ‘I’m only sparing one glance at you because I think highly of you’.

“I’ll accept this. In return, I’ll allow you to attend today’s afternoon class here. But you should know better and voluntarily change your seat with the class monitor. I don’t want to see you beside me tomorrow.”

Mentally, Mingxi wanted nothing but to kick his handsome red hair. “Two slices of dessert for an afternoon. You might as well rip me off.”

Fu Yangxi smiled and drank a mouthful of water lazily. “What do you propose then?”

The system reminded: “If you send him messages one-sidedly, even if he doesn’t reply, you can get some luck as it’ll be considered in the novel as ‘making friends with popular characters’.”

Mingxi immediately said, “Two slices of dessert in exchange for one afternoon, and your WeChat contact number.”

Instantly, the whole of the International Class gasped.

A brave warrior!

This was the first time in Xi ge’s 17 years of life that he had met a brave warrior!
