She said you have no shame and are trying to seduce your own brother.”

He Jinlan had heard most of it, expecting that since He Shasha had come by, Jiang Nanfei was bound to know all of it by now. So she had been mentally prepared, but the last sentence made her unable to hide her dismay.

The hand she rested in the drawer of her desk was clenched into a fist, her cheeks twisted from anger and restraint, making a somewhat frightening sight.

But she kept her head down, so people couldn’t see her true feelings. Unaware, Wu Shanshan kept talking endlessly.

“Shanshan.” He Jinlan interrupted Wu Shanshan’s words, suppressing her voice, “I get it, I… I am very hurt. How could she do this to me? We were once best friends. From the first year of middle school to the final year of high school, a total of five years. I took such good care of her when others didn’t like her and didn’t play with her, it was always me…”

In the end, she sobbed and collapsed onto the desk, crying quietly.

Students in the seats in front and behind her couldn’t help but feel sympathetic. A soft-hearted girl silently passed her a handkerchief to wipe her tears.

“Thank you!”

“Cheer up, our class president! Regardless of whether you’re the principal’s daughter, it wasn’t something we could choose. Just be yourself, achieve top grades and get into the best university.”

“Right, keep up the good work!”

“Thank you, thank you all.” He Jinlan thanked them with gratitude, but inside, she was invigorated.

She knew that she was unstoppable.

Whatever Jiang Nanfei, He Shasha, nothing could faze her. This time, she will show no mercy nor arrogance. She will make them pay.

Gongxi Yunqi, who hasn’t talked much since the start of the semester, nudged Nan Fei lightly with his elbow.

“What’s up?” Nan Fei looked up and asked.

Gongxi Yunqi gestured subtly towards the center of the room and whispered, “Guess who they’re talking about?”

Nan Fei followed his gaze and saw a melancholy He Jinlan. He responded calmly, “Probably me! Who else could it be?”

“Well, you better watch out.” There seemed to be a hint of concern in Gongxi Yunqi’s eyes, “How about I walk you home after school? It’s on my way!”

Nan Fei was astonished, “You live in town, and I’m in the countryside. We’re not on the same route. Besides, there are a lot of students where I live, I can just go with my brother and sister. I won’t bother you!”

Gongxi Yunqi lowered his eyes, “Alright then! But if you ever need anything or need help, make sure you let me know.”

“Sure! Thanks.”

“No need to mention it.” Gongxi Yunqi blushed slightly because of Nan Fei’s thank you, “I’ve already given Huahua the thing you asked me to pass on before the holiday.”

“Thanks for going to the trouble.”

“You don’t have to thank me; you don’t have to be so formal.” Gongxi Yunqi suddenly turned to look at her, his eyes bright and intense, “If you really want to thank me, give me the pen you’re currently using!”

He knew that their seating arrangements would be adjusted according to the latest grades in the next class, and he might not be able to sit next to Nan Fei. She always kept a distance from him, and there might be fewer opportunities to talk in the future.

So, he wanted a keepsake.

Nan Fei paused for a moment, looking at the fountain pen in her hand. It was a very ordinary Hero brand, which could be bought at the school entrance store. Giving such a cheap item she had used as a gift didn’t seem polite.
