Chapter 21: Chapter 21 Zhengtai_1

"Alright, Miss enjoys them, so I’ll go buy them right away. If I’m any later, the hairy crabs won’t be fresh anymore." Zhang Ma, while arranging Shangguan You’s breakfast, kept an eye on the time. If she delayed, there would be no hairy crabs left by the time she reached the suburbs.

"Thank you, Zhang Ma."

Watching Zhang Ma leave even earlier than she did, Shangguan You couldn’t help but smile gently. She casually grabbed some pastries, took them to her room, and then left the house.

News of Shangguan You’s bet with Yang Liwen had spread throughout the school. The moment she stepped onto campus, all eyes were on her. Some scoffed at her overconfidence, some admired her audacity, and others called her foolish and stupid. There were looks of sympathy and pity too; in short, a whole spectrum of gazes followed her.

Shen Jia, Feng Shaomei, and a few others glared resentfully at her retreating figure, while Feng Shao’an, Han Yachu, and Lan Xuan regarded her with a mixture of confusion and bewilderment.

"Teacher Chen, I want to apply for a leave of absence from school." In the office, Shangguan You made her entrance again, her large glasses covering most of her face.

"What?" Teacher Chen cried out, shocked. "There’s only a month left before the exams! And she even had that bet with a teacher. This is a critical time. How could she dare bring up taking a leave of absence now?"

"Shangguan You, actually, you could transfer to our class and study with our students. If you don’t understand something, you can ask your classmates or the teachers. It’s better than studying at home alone," Li Ming, the homeroom teacher of Senior Year Class Three, spoke up at the right moment. He had seen everything yesterday.

"That’s right. You should just join Teacher Li Ming’s class now. The material they are studying will be useful for you. As for taking a leave, I think it’s better to forget about it," Teacher Chen continued, following Li Ming’s lead. It would be such a waste if she were expelled for failing the exams.

"But, I want to..."

"There’s nothing more to say. It’s settled. Now, follow Teacher Li to his class." Teacher Chen gave Shangguan You no chance to object and directly had Li Ming lead her away.

"Youyou, you’re going to Class Three? I want to be with you," Zhu Li said, holding her hand reluctantly, her face full of dejection.

"Zhu Li, do you really think that’s necessary? Can you get into the university of your dreams that way?"

"I can’t."

"You know my situation. Studying doesn’t mean much to me. If I want to get into that university, I can. But it’s different for you. You should take things one step at a time."

"But, Youyou, if you do this, won’t your parents..." Zhu Li began worriedly. Although her parents were wealthy, Shangguan You was an illegitimate daughter. Would her actions make her family even less accepting of her?

"Don’t worry." Shangguan You gave Zhu Li an assured look and turned to leave.

"Youyou, wait for me!" Gui Mo’s flirtatious voice called out from behind her. Shangguan You quickened her pace; she really disliked that troublesome flirt, that self-important pretty boy.

A figure suddenly blocked her path. Shangguan You’s mouth twitched fiercely. She was dressed the same as before. Back then, these men would keep as far away from her as possible. So why were they all flocking to her now? What on earth had changed?

"Youyou, wait for me."

"I’ve already transferred to Senior Year Class Three, and Student Gui Mo is in Senior Year Class One." Her meaning was clear: What’s the use of you waiting? You should hurry back where you came from. Go find a cool spot and stay there; don’t appear before me again.

"Hehe, I came especially for you. Without you here, it’s no fun for me. So, Teacher Chen has agreed to let me transfer to Senior Year Class Three as well. We’ll still be classmates," Gui Mo chuckled, his peach blossom eyes holding a calm gaze as he looked at Shangguan You.

Anyway, wherever you go, I’ll go too.

"Suit yourself," Shangguan You tossed out coldly, bypassing Gui Mo to leave.

"Youyou, wait for me, okay?"

Gui Mo shamelessly chased after her again.

「At the school gate」

Shangguan You’s slender figure leaned lazily against the wall. She was waiting for Lan Xuan. She was unfamiliar with B City.

The sunlight stretched their two shadows very long, and finally, Lan Xuan’s and Han Yachu’s handsome faces appeared at the school gate.

"Lan Xuan," Shangguan You called out.

The two who had just walked out of the school gate stopped simultaneously, looking strangely at the person waiting for them. They had offered to help her study, but she hadn’t appreciated it and had ignored them. Why would she be waiting for them at the school gate now?

"Is there something you need from me?" Lan Xuan’s sunny face lifted into a gentle smile as he looked at the girl in glasses who, despite them, exuded Spiritual Power.

Han Yachu’s handsome face also showed a flicker of deep thought.

"I need a favor," Shangguan You said directly, ignoring Lan Xuan’s smile.

"Oh, if I can help, I definitely will. Right, Han?" Lan Xuan’s face wore its trademark warm smile as he nudged the stoic Han Yachu beside him.

"Hmph," Han Yachu grunted coldly, an unusual light flickering in his icy eyes.

Hmph, if it weren’t for Zhuge Feng needing clothes and me needing your help with something, do you think I’d be willing to look at your icy faces? Men are all such self-important creatures!

In her previous life, Shen Cheng’s clothes were all custom-made by specialist designers. A new collection, always with matching sets, would be delivered each season. He never wore the clothes she bought for him, and in her past life, she hadn’t paid it much mind. Thinking about it now, if, as he claimed, she was his enemy, then naturally he wouldn’t wear clothes she had personally chosen. But these words, ’his enemy’—where had they even come from?

At this thought, a bitter smile couldn’t help but touch her lips.

"What’s the matter?" Lan Xuan’s gentle voice sounded. It’s strange, her expression shows pain, bewilderment, and wistfulness. Could she still be interested in Han?

Lan Xuan and Han Yachu exchanged glances, both arriving at the same conclusion.

"Oh, I’d like you to take me to buy a few sets of men’s clothes as a gift for someone," Shangguan You said calmly, having collected herself. He wouldn’t refuse this request, would he?

Lan Xuan and Han Yachu both looked surprised.

"I’m not familiar with B City, and I rarely go out," Shangguan You explained lightly. In her memory, apart from her home, the school, and the area within a couple of streets, she’d never ventured anywhere else. If she were to buy clothes herself, she definitely wouldn’t choose well. Lan Xuan, however, seemed to have good taste; his choices should suit Zhuge Feng.
