Chapter 351 : Green Plum Meets Wine 2 (1/2)

Cannonfodder, supporting female characters usually wished for revenge, and Sheng Xia was no different.

She hadn’t let down Shen Jiayin in any way. Though they hadn’t seen eye-to-eye, she hadn’t actually done anything to her. Yet, Shen Jiayin blamed Sheng Xia for not saving her.

Regardless of whether or not Sheng Xia had the ability to save her, why should she have done so? Because of basic human decency? What kind of retard would seek death by trying to stop several large men ganging up on a woman?

Even some men wouldn’t be able to do it—let alone a little girl like Sheng Xia. After all, what would she have faced if she went over?

What’s more, Sheng Xia hadn’t even seen what was happening.

Life is like facing countless crossroads; every choice will lead to an ending. What ending you get is determined by the path you take.

And the kind of road you take depends on how much influence the people around you have on your choices.

Life…is a never-ending string of multiple-choice questions.

Because of Shen Jiayin’s interference, Sheng Xia’s life had taken the worst possible road.

……

The FL had already reincarnated for some time and had just transferred to this school, ending up in the same class as Sheng Xia. Right now, Sheng Xia’s impression of her stopped at…she’s a girl.

It was already self-study period. Shi Sheng lifted her head and looked in the FL’s direction. The latter sat up straight in her seat, hair brushed back into a ponytail. Perhaps because of her status as a reincarnator, her disposition had a clear difference from that of these students.

Shi Sheng propped up her chin and examined the FL unscrupulously. Perhaps having noticed Shi Sheng’s gaze, Shen Jiayin turned to look over. Her face still contained some hint of immaturity, but would otherwise be considered slightly above average. It was her temperament which stood out.

Like an orchid standing out from a bunch of gaudy flowers because of its aloofness.

Their gazes met. Shi Sheng’s was as calm as ever, without a single ripple to be seen.

Shen Jiaying frowned slightly, as a subtle expression that could be called disdain appeared on her face, before she turned back to her book.

Shi Sheng blinked. ‘Was the FL expressing disdain towards Sheng Xia? Why?’

Shi Sheng retracted her gaze and casually flipped through the items on the desk. The first thing she found was a mathematics test paper that scored full marks.

Shi Sheng went through Sheng Xia’s other test papers and clicked her tongue. ‘Looks like she was valedictorian material ah!’

Some people were probably born academics. Their brains simply learned faster than most, so just studying briefly was enough for them to maintain first place.

Sheng Xia was one of those people.

‘Such a smart girl was actually pushed to that point by the FL… Is it because the FL’s halo is too strong, or because Sheng Xia’s IQ logged off too fast?’

Riiiiing—

As the bell rang, the surrounding students were like sheep let out of their pen as they joyfully sprinted out of the classroom.

Junior high…is a time when kids are still kids.

“Sheng Xia, come on! Why’re you still in a daze?” Someone knocked on her desk. It was the girl who had told Shi Sheng she’d wake her up once school was over.

Information about this girl appeared in Shi Sheng’s mind.

Yao Qin, who was somewhat of a friend to Sheng Xia. She wasn’t a close friend, just a normal one.

She and the other two girls who had been talking in front of Sheng Xia usually left school together with her.

“Oh.” Shi Sheng answered briefly, shoving the books on the desk into the compartment below before picking up the bag slung over her chair and following Yao Qin out of the classroom.

These girls were really quite noisy. In the time it took for them to make it to the school gates, Shi Sheng had already made the decision to never walk together with them again. She found them capable of being louder than the quacking of three thousand ducks.

“See you tomorrow!” Yao Qin waved Shi Sheng goodbye.
