Chapter 496: Chapter 496: Is this a live opera performance?

"Goddess, this pill..."

Bei Ranran swallowed hard, her eyes shining with excitement as she looked at Shi Yaoguang, "Can this pill truly bolster the foundations and nourish the origins?"

Shi Yaoguang nodded, and Bei Ranran felt incredibly surprised.

Miao Jingjing watched her expression and rolled her eyes in speechless disbelief, "You’re being way too fake."

"And bolstering the foundations, please, if you’re going to ask for help at least find a professional."

Miao Jingjing’s repeated questioning of Shi Yaoguang irked Bei Ranran.

"Can’t you be any less sour?" Although Bei Ranran’s family wasn’t as well-off as Miao Jingjing’s, she had grown up as a pampered little princess at home, and she had intended to be patient.

She was willing to step back, but Miao Jingjing only knew how to push the limits, and Bei Ranran obviously couldn’t stand it any longer, promptly letting her dissatisfaction show.

With her nose in the air, Miao Jingjing snorted coldly, "Sour about what? Did I say something wrong?"

"Shi Yaoguang gives you what’s clearly a jelly bean, and you put on a face like it’s done you a world of good. If that’s not deceiving, what is? Anyone with eyes can see it, do I really need to be sour?"

Bei Ranran didn’t back down, retorting immediately, "Well, aren’t you interesting."

As she spoke, she pinched her nose and fanned the air, "Just smelling it and you know it’s a jelly bean, seems like you’ve had quite a few of these jelly beans."

Miao Jingjing rolled her eyes, "You think I’m you? Only you would eat that kind of jelly bean. I certainly wouldn’t — who knows whether something like that, with no standards of production, could be toxic."

Seeing the two starting to argue, the classmates around them became anxious, "Both of you, stop fighting, Zhang Song will be back any moment now!"

Zhang Song was the student who had gone for help after Bei Ranran fainted.

With Zhang Song’s return would certainly come a drill instructor or a doctor.

If Bei Ranran and Miao Jingjing kept arguing, it would be difficult to smooth things over.

Bei Ranran hummed softly, shot Miao Jingjing a glare, and treasured the little bottle as she put it away, not wanting to waste words with her.

Miao Jingjing was infuriated. She was always the bully, and now someone dared to bully her? Wasn’t this a provocation?

About to say something more, she was pulled back by Shi Yiqing.

"Alright, alright, I think this classmate just doesn’t want her idol to lose face. We already know the facts, there’s no need to be so aggressive."

Listen to that, Shi Yiqing’s words, regardless of whether the pill Bei Ranran took was a jelly bean or not, she had tagged it as a jelly bean.

Labeled as a jelly bean was bad enough, but she had hammered the final nail in the coffin.

Firmly denying Shi Yaoguang and Bei Ranran any chance to explain.

Miao Jingjing didn’t catch the subtext in Shi Yiqing’s words and still felt quite indignant, "I just can’t stand people like that!"

Facing Shi Yiqing’s look of disapproval, she could only swallow the words she hadn’t gotten a chance to say with reluctant acceptance.

"Forget it, forget it. For the sake of our Princess Qingqing, I won’t quibble with you anymore!"

Watching her act as if bestowing charity, the expressions of those present became somewhat peculiar.

Bei Ranran felt even more so that the fan takes after the idol.

Miao Jingjing and Shi Yiqing were simply cut from the same cloth.

Just then, Zhang Song arrived with someone in tow.

"Doctor, it’s right here..." Zhang Song hurried over with a jog, pointing down at the ground.

Mid-sentence, he realized there was no one on the ground.

He was a little confused, "Where is the person?"

As he spoke, his eyes met with an indignant Bei Ranran.

Bei Ranran had fainted, and Zhang Song noticed her face, thereby recognizing that Bei Ranran was the one who had just passed out.

After recognizing her, he was somewhat dumbfounded.

Hadn’t she fainted? Why was she standing here just fine?

"You..."

Zhang Song looked at Bei Ranran incredulously, and the doctor who followed him was puzzled, "Classmate Zhang Song, didn’t you say someone fainted? Where is the person?"

Zhang Song scratched his head and pointed to Bei Ranran, stammering, "It, it’s her."

The doctor’s gaze fell on Bei Ranran, who looked rosy and healthy, not at all like there was a problem. He suspected Zhang Song was making a fool of him.

"Isn’t she just fine? Tell me the truth. Are you making this up?"

"I’m not!" Zhang Song quickly defended himself, "How could I possibly make a fool of the elderly? Bei Ranran really did faint just now, ask everybody if you don’t believe me."

After he finished speaking, the other students present chimed in, "Zhang Song is not lying, Bei Ranran really fainted."

The doctor sternly said, "Don’t you all conspire to deceive! This student’s complexion is rosy; she looks perfectly healthy. How could she possibly faint?"

Assertively, he claimed, "I understand now, you just don’t want to do the military training, so you are lying, right?"

"How is that possible?" Zhang Song said with a mournful face, "What we are saying is true. I’m certain Bei Ranran fainted before I went to call for help from the medical room." Although... Bei Ranran did look, indeed, quite unlike someone who would faint, this didn’t prove he was lying.

This indeed didn’t prove he was lying.

Similarly, this also didn’t prove he wasn’t lying.

For a moment, the doctor couldn’t really tell whether this group of mischievous kids had done it on purpose or if Bei Ranran had fainted and recovered.

It was at this moment that Shi Yiqing spoke up.

"Doctor, why don’t you give this student a check-up?"

Shi Yiqing’s face, truly worthy of the praise for being pure and lovely.

After all, as the chosen one, that face had to be presentable.

Seeing such a beautiful young girl looking at him, the doctor’s mood improved significantly, and he nodded immediately, saying to her, "Alright, then I’ll do as you suggest."

Shi Yiqing’s face showed delight, "Then we’ll be troubling you, doctor."

When she finished, her expression showed a trace of hesitation, prompting the doctor’s curiosity, "What’s wrong, is there another issue?"

Shi Yiqing appeared to struggle as she said, "Classmate Bei Ranran fainted earlier, and Shi Yaoguang used a silver needle to prick her face several times. I don’t know if it might have caused any harm to her."

Seeing her express such concern for a classmate, Miao Jingjing had the feeling that she indeed hadn’t chosen the wrong person to admire.

Her idol was really too good, so considerate of others, simply the world’s number one.

Miao Jingjing, looking at Shi Yiqing without restraint, praised her, "Princess Qingqing, aren’t you too kind? After how Bei Ranran has treated you, you still help her. I feel it’s not worth it for you."

"What’s not worth it?" Shi Yqing posed as a saintly Mother Mary, her expression full of kindness, "Even if classmate Bei Ranran has misunderstood me, I wouldn’t neglect her over a mere misunderstanding."

"If she’s fine then great, but if something were to affect her, I would truly feel uneasy."

Seeing this, Miao Jingjing continued to shower her with flattery, "Princess Qingqing, you’re really too good! Bei Ranran doesn’t appreciate you but treats Shi Yaoguang like a goddess instead. She really is blind!"

Listening to the back and forth between the two, everyone felt a bit awkward. Was this... a live performance of a drama?
