Chapter 45: Chapter 045: I’ve Actually Been Outsmarted!

Ning Xixi still hadn’t recovered her senses when she raised her hand and knocked on the door: "Classmate?"

No one outside responded; instead, there was a sound of footsteps.

By the sound of it, they seemed to be getting more and more distant.

Ning Xixi realized something was wrong and knocked on the door with more force: "Classmate?! Are you still there?"

She twisted the doorknob, but the door wouldn’t open at all, as if something was jamming it from the outside.

A thought emerged in her mind: She had been locked in here!

Damn it!

She had actually been set up!

Looking at how frail and harmless that girl appeared, who would have thought she was such a scheming bitch!

And the so-called skirt getting caught on something was probably a lie too!

Ning Xixi kicked the door in frustration and took out her phone, her first instinct being to call Ji Yebai.

Her finger hovered in mid-air, then suddenly stopped.

Darn, why on earth would she call Ji Yebai?

Her finger slid down the contact list, and she suddenly realized she didn’t know anyone at Muying High School.

Call Gong Xiu? It was too embarrassing; how could she dare to do that?

Call Qiao Nancheng? The big dummy would probably go after someone with a knife.

She checked the time again, ah! She was going to be late!

...

The bell for class rang.

Teacher Liu stood at the podium, with a sycophantic smile, saying, "Good morning, students. Your English teacher is feeling unwell, so I’ll be taking over this class!"

The response from the students below was lukewarm, causing Teacher Liu to feel rather embarrassed.

These young masters and misses were really tough to please.

However, if she managed to cling to someone’s coattails, she was certain to soar!

She began to teach with great animation and was just hitting her stride when the classroom door was banged open.

"Report!" A clear and sweet voice rang out, coming from Ning Xixi.

Teacher Liu’s face showed displeasure, her thin eyebrows raising high. She had wanted to scold the latecomer but swallowed her words abruptly upon seeing it was Ning Xixi.

"Come in, student."

This was Ji Yebai’s woman after all; she couldn’t afford to offend her!

Ning Xixi, panting heavily, returned to her seat.

It took her a while to finally bust the door open; God knows what she had just gone through!

Ji Yebai slammed his textbook down: "Sit somewhere else!"

"Ah?" Ning Xixi was taken aback, "Oh!"

Puffing up her cheeks, she angrily hugged her textbook and found an empty seat to sit in.

Ji bastard! Ji trash!

A cunning smile tugged at the corners of Teacher Liu’s mouth from the podium. It seemed that Ji Yebai was tired of this girl?

Her lips curved into an eerie smile.

She cleared her throat: "Ning Xixi, please come up and translate the passage we just covered!"

Ning Xixi stood up reluctantly and fumbled to pull out her English textbook.

She didn’t even know where the lesson was left off, how was she to translate?

The surrounding classmates were strangers who watched her demise with schadenfreude, offering no help.

"If you can’t even understand such basic content, then you will stand for the rest of the class!" Teacher Liu postured as a strict instructor.

"Teacher, I..."

"Alright, the teacher will treat all of you equally. No one is to rely on their special status to think that they have ’privileges.’ Understood?"

"Understooddd," the class droned in an elongated tone, as if they were deliberately mocking Ning Xixi.

Xiao Xichen spoke up for her indignantly: "Hey, weren’t you all admiring Ning Xixi’s sense of justice this morning? Now, just because of some gossip post, your attitudes have changed so quickly. Aren’t you all acting a bit like weather vanes?"

Her long lashes fluttered, and Ning Xixi’s dark eyes filled with confusion.

What gossip post?
