Chapter 361 : Green Plum Meets Wine 12 (2/2)

The first month went by rather peacefully for Shi Sheng. For some reason or other, Shen Jiayin didn’t stir up trouble during this time. She would occasionally go out with Wen Jingxuan and Xie Chen.

If Shi Sheng was in a good mood, she’d go watch them. If not, she wouldn’t bother watching the FL show-off, instead choosing to catch up on her ‘mental sustenance’.

Shi Sheng found that Shen Jiayin and Yin Mo appeared to have grown distant. In the end, he didn’t even teach classes any more.

The homeroom teacher that had been on maternity leave came back and resumed her duties.

Without Yin Mo, it seemed the students had one less thing to gossip about.

Shi Sheng observed Shen Jiayin for several days. The latter seemed quite relieved at Yin Mo’s departure.

‘Well I suppose it was to be expected for a book that had a plotline stretching out for so long to have the romance to progress slowly.’

Yu Jiu didn’t return, and Yin Mo didn’t show himself.

Life in junior high turned duller.

Meanwhile, Shi Sheng stably kept her position as a dunce.

If she said she was going to hit a certain score, she really would get it—and not a single mark higher or lower.

Since the teachers were aware of her true ability, they didn’t fuss too much, merely reminding her that she had to answer questions seriously during the mid-term exams.

A valedictorian-style dunce…

All the students around her expressed that they’d never seen such a show-off before.

Show-off Sheng safely made her way through junior high and ranked up to senior high.

Shi Sheng naturally picked the same school as Shen Jiayin.

As the top scorer in the province, Shen Jiayin received a lot of attention from different parties in school.

Shi Sheng knew why Shen Jiayin wanted to score first place. She wanted to start her own company.

But since running a business was very time-consuming, she’d hardly have any time to come to school. Hence, she’d have to score first place to get more bargaining power with the faculty.

Everything went according to how it did in the original storyline.

In her third year of senior high, Shen Jiayin truly started a company. Since she had money, even if she wasn’t familiar with running a business, she could hire professionals to do it for her.

As reality proved, though money was not omnipotent, having no money at all could solve nothing.

Shi Sheng had paid attention to the company’s progress. It was a bit slow, but the direction was good. Well, Shen Jiayin was from the future, so she had plenty of advantages when it came to being informed.

Yao Qin was still in the same class as Shi Sheng. They were even seated close together, with Yao Qin occupying the seat in front of Shi Sheng’s.

Once class had ended, she turned around to ask Shi Sheng, “Sheng Xia, are you going to the event tonight?”

“What event?” Shi Sheng didn’t lift her head, merely asking offhandedly.

“Dunno. My dad told me to go. I heard a lot of business people are going to be present, so Uncle Gu should be going too. Let’s go together.”

“It’s an event centred around stone-gambling.” Sheng Jiayin had appeared behind Shi Sheng at some point and spoke up.

“How do you know?” Yao Qin didn’t really like Shen Jiayin. Ever since the latter stole the position of most popular girl in senior high from her, Yao Qin disliked Shen Jiayin even more. The two had come into conflict several times.

Shen Jiayin’s lips curled into a disdainful smirk. “I’d advise you not to go. It’s a far more serious affair than a regular event.”

Yao Qin humphed coldly. “Shen Jiayin, aren’t you just relying on your slight acquaintance with that person from the Wen Clan? How much ability do you have?”

Shi Sheng reached out to touch Yao Qin hand, causing the latter to lower her head and look at her. Shi Sheng’s lips lifted in a slight smile, her gaze calm.

‘If you mock the FL now, you’re the one that’s going to have your face slapped in future.

She’s pretty capable, seeing as how Wen Jingxuan’s the one hugging her thigh…’

This conflict ended up being subtly diffused by Shi Sheng.

Shen Jiayin walked to a desk in front of Shi Sheng to grab her things, before walking towards the classroom door.

As she passed them, she raised her chin slightly. “See you tonight.”

“Sheng Xia, look at her—”

“If you imagine yourself as a queen, you’ll know that her pride doesn’t even measure up to one of your own farts.” Shi Sheng calmly answered.

Yao Qin, “…” ‘Top Student, this analogy of yours is really quite…something.’
