Chapter 145: Chapter 145 Jokes

Shi Yaoguang hadn’t gone far, she walked a bit, then circled around to wait behind a tree.

After Quan Sicheng left, she came out from behind the tree.

The youthful lad, dressed in a skull shirt paired with ripped jeans and hands in his pockets, was startled by the sudden appearance of Shi Yaoguang.

"You, what are you doing here?"

Shi Yaoguang countered, "What do you think?"

"How would I know?" The youth rolled his eyes with an exasperated expression.

Shi Yaoguang curved her lips, "If you don’t know, how about I remind you?"

"Remind me of what?"

"What did you hear?"

The youthful lad was stumped, a hint of guilt showing on his face.

Shi Yaoguang crossed her arms and watched him leisurely.

He coughed, slightly embarrassed, "I, I didn’t mean to eavesdrop! It’s just that you all weren’t exactly being discreet."

"If you didn’t mean to eavesdrop, you can leave," reminded Shi Yaoguang.

The youthful lad replied, "I just didn’t react in time, did I?"

As he spoke, his gaze dodged around.

"Is it just a matter of not reacting in time?"

Facing Shi Yaoguang’s deep and insightful eyes, the youth felt even more guilty.

He lowered his head, and Shi Yaoguang got an even clearer view of his bright green short hair.

Um...

Quite green.

Like a meadow.

Yeah, brimming with life.

Looking at the youth’s green hair, Shi Yaoguang felt like she was looking at a spring onion.

The more she looked, the hungrier she got.

She rubbed her stomach, deciding not to fuss about his eavesdropping.

She went off to find something to eat first.

Shi Yaoguang, deciding to act, turned around and left without another word.

Leaving the youth standing there, dumbstruck.

That’s it, she’s gone?

Wasn’t she here to make a scene?

Although it was a bit odd, he felt relieved to see her go.

That spared him the embarrassment, though... he’d still feel awkward when they met again later.

Correct, he had recognized the girl’s identity.

Or rather, at the school gates, he had unintentionally encountered Quan Sicheng furiously looking to settle a score, and he had wanted to see what was going on.

As a result, Quan Sicheng’s words had poisoned his ears.

He had always been at odds with Quan Sicheng, but he hadn’t expected Quan Sicheng to be so shameless.

And then...

He thought, this incident couldn’t be known only by him, so he conveniently recorded a video.

He just didn’t expect that, while Quan Sicheng didn’t notice he was being followed, Shi Yaoguang did.

And she had planned to confront him, though she later gave up on her own.

A woman’s heart is as unfathomable as the ocean’s depth.

Since he couldn’t figure it out, he simply stopped thinking about it.

Pulling out his phone from his pocket, he uploaded the video he had taken.

[Group Chat: I’m the Coolest Big Shot]

Your Daddy: [Video]

Your Daddy: Ran into that big idiot Quan Sicheng at the school gates, my ears are cursed now.

Big Boss’s First Lackey: Boss?

Big Boss’s Second Lackey: WTF?

Big Bro’s Lil’ Fangirl: Oh my gosh! Is that really Quan Sicheng? I thought he was the school hunk and a decent guy, but I didn’t expect him to be such a person behind the scenes.

Tang Gigigi’s Huan Fan Only: If I’m not mistaken, the content of the video shows Quan Sicheng causing trouble for this term’s School Belle because Shi Yiqing didn’t get to be the new one, right? The forums were all saying that Shi Yaoguang only became the new School Belle because of Shen Huan’s vote...

Tang Gigigi’s Huan Fan Only: So, Quan Sicheng did all this just to give the School Belle a hard time, that’s really not manly at all, right?

Big Bro’s Lil’ Fangirl: I think Quan Sicheng is not only seeking retribution, but he also clearly wants to restore the title of School Belle to Shi Yiqing, claiming it can only be Qingqing’s. To me, that sounds more like a joke! Does he really think once you’re a School Belle, you’re forever a School Belle? He should take a good look at himself in the mirror.

Big Bro’s Right-Hand Man: To be honest, I also think Shi Yiqing doesn’t look that great, bland, and no match for the new School Belle! If it weren’t for the scandal a while ago, the School Belle’s votes would have left the second place far behind!

Shen Huan looked at the chat history in the group, flicked his green, tousled hair, and his eyes gleamed with an indistinguishable light.

He also sent a message in the group.

Your Daddy: Let’s give Quan Sicheng some good publicity, since he thinks only Shi Yiqing qualifies to be the joke, let’s indulge him.

As soon as the people in the group saw this message, they immediately burst into a string of laughter.

They absolutely believed that Huan Bro had made no mistake.

Shi Yiqing wants to be the School Belle?

Sure, if a joke is what she wants.

After a bit of manipulation in their group, Shi Yiqing, previously the close second in the School Belle election, instantly became the unanimously agreed-upon "joke."

Originally, people felt somewhat fond of Shi Yiqing when they saw she was the runner-up.

But after hearing Quan Sicheng’s shameless claim that "The title of School Belle can only belong to Qingqing," they subconsciously felt some aversion.

In short, the name of Shi Yiqing became a joke that spread.

And all this happened while Shi Yaoguang was having a meal.

She went to the small shop to buy bread and milk and returned to the classroom as the bell rang.

She noticed an eye-catching new face in the special talents class as she reached the classroom door.

Green onion head, isn’t that eye-catching?

Seeing Shi Yaoguang’s gaze land on the green-haired boy, Mu Tiantian said to her, "That’s Shen Huan!"

Shi Yaoguang nodded at her and went back to her seat.

Usually, both of them sat alone at two-seater desks.

Shen Huan also did.

This was the first time they sat together.

Shen Huan, meeting Shi Yaoguang’s gaze, felt a bit awkward.

But then he thought, he’d already taken revenge for her, so any grudges should be wiped clean.

With that, he began to feel more rightful and confident.

Shi Yaoguang didn’t know what he was thinking, but she watched as his demeanor shifted from initial nervousness to eventual pride.

Shi Yaoguang sat down at her desk and he slipped her a note.

[I’ve taken revenge on Quan Sicheng for you, we’re even.]

Shi Yaoguang raised an eyebrow and replied, "How did you take revenge?"

[Didn’t he want to stand up for his girl? I just gave him what he wanted.]

After saying this, he took out his phone and opened the forum.

The forum featured a bold, conspicuous title.

#New Rising School Belle Shi Yiqing#

Shi Yaoguang clicked on the title, read the contents, and couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Her assessment of the situation was...

Pretty mean.

By this time, Shi Yiqing must be so angry she’s bursting inside.

And, indeed, she was.

The Rocket Class had a strict curriculum, so Shi Yiqing rarely had time to check her phone while in class.

Mostly, she was busy working through problems during lessons.

Unable to see the forums herself, it naturally fell to someone else to inform her.

After receiving a reminder from her friends and seeing the posts mocking her, she became so angry that her eyes reddened.

However, the teacher was not one to pity or indulge students.

Seeing her red eyes, the teacher chose to ignore it completely and continued to explain the problems in a very cold manner.

Shi Yiqing was already struggling to keep up with the pace, and with her emotions now in turmoil, she found it even harder to focus on the lesson.
