Chapter 116: Chapter 116: Slapping the Fake Rich Girl 17

Xiao Yuan looked at Anning, his heart and eyes full of her.

The young girl was adorable and pretty, her eyes curving into crescents when she laughed, with dimples on her cheeks that touched people’s hearts.

The more Xiao Yuan looked at her, the more he liked her.

He felt as if the girl was tailored for him; she was so lovely in every way, with not a single trait he disliked.

He paid no attention to Gao Nana and the others but walked in front of Anning, bending down to see her eye to eye: "I’m serious, be my girlfriend."

"Ah!"

Anning’s mouth fell open, and she involuntarily stepped back, but she was right against a desk and had no place to retreat to.

Xiao Yuan was tall, already over 1.7 meters at just fifteen or sixteen years old, while Anning was quite short, her body developing late, standing just a little over 1.5 meters tall. Xiao Yuan had to bend down to look at her.

He bent forward with some discomfort, but seeing the young girl’s eyes wide open in shock, he couldn’t help but laugh: "If you’re my girlfriend, I’ll look out for you; no one can bully you. I’ll buy you whatever you want to eat, and take you wherever you want to go. How about it? Consider it."

Xiao Yuan was smiling, but he felt extremely nervous inside, fearing Anning’s rejection, he kept talking about the benefits of being his girlfriend.

Anning blinked and looked at Xiao Yuan with his broom-like hair, finding it truly amusing.

She wanted to tease Xiao Yuan a bit, so she grabbed Gao Nana’s arm: "No, no need, Sister Nana will take care of me. I can buy whatever I want to eat myself, and I don’t like going out. Maybe... let’s not be a couple."

Xiao Yuan was rejected, and it was dreadfully awkward.

He ruffled his already thick red hair, which made his disheveled look embody a silly charm, a kind of... um, Emperor of Shamate vibe.

Gao Nana was about to die laughing.

She stretched out her arm to hug Anning to her side, challenging Xiao Yuan with raised eyebrows and a glare: "Heard that? This girl is under my wing; she’s my person."

Zhang Ke wanted to laugh but dared not, holding it in was truly uncomfortable.

Xiao Yuan looked at Anning, wanting to approach and ask again, but feared another rejection, like a little dog abandoned by its owner, pitifully amusing.

Anning felt she couldn’t tease him any longer, as it could turn sour if Xiao Yuan became agitated.

She reached out, tilted her head and smiled: "I can’t be your girlfriend, but if you don’t mind, we can be friends."

Xiao Yuan immediately beamed and grasped Anning’s hand: "Alright, alright."

Friends and girlfriends are only a word apart.

First as friends, and slowly add the word ’girl’, he believed that with his charm, one day he would touch Anning’s heart, and it was only a matter of time before they became boyfriend and girlfriend.

Having taken Anning’s hand, Xiao Yuan found himself reluctant to let go.

But it was Gao Nana who couldn’t stand it anymore and snatched Anning’s hand back: "Hey, a handshake is fine, but holding on like that is not cool, don’t peel the skin off my sister’s hand."

Xiao Yuan’s face turned red in an instant, and after casting another timid glance at Anning, he went back to his seat.

At noon, Anning went to the cafeteria to eat with Gao Nana and a few others, and Xiao Yuan followed.

His red hair was particularly conspicuous among the many students.

Of course, all the students from Class 12 stood out.

Among a crowd of students in uniform, whose hair and attire were neat and tidy, with innocent and naive faces like little white rabbits, the students from Class 12 with their strange outfits and various hair colors, speaking in a forthright and loud manner, were indeed very outlandish.

The appearance of the students from Class 12 drew many covert glances.

Of course, most students also kept a considerable distance from them, not daring to provoke them.

Anning was embraced by Gao Nana as they went to get food.

Gao Nana was quite generous: "Sis, order whatever you want, I’ve got plenty of pocket money this month, let’s eat our fill."

Anning smiled and thanked her, ordering two vegetarian dishes, one meat dish, and also a bowl of rice.

At noon, Zhao Mingzhu also went to the cafeteria to get food with classmates.

Upon entering the cafeteria, a chubby kid grabbed her: "Hey, isn’t that your relative over there?"

Zhao Mingzhu followed the chubby kid’s pointing and saw Anning walking with the people from class twelve.

She couldn’t help but frown: "How come she... She looked so well-behaved before, why is she getting along so well with those people just after arriving?"

The chubby kid said with a grin: "I think she’s quite popular. Who knows what she was like before, maybe she used to hang out with such people at her old school."

The chubby kid winked at Zhao Mingzhu: "Aren’t you going to say hello?"

Zhao Mingzhu’s face turned cold: "I don’t want to."

She queued far away from Anning, seemingly not paying attention to Anning, but her peripheral vision was constantly sizing up Anning.

The more she watched, the tighter Zhao Mingzhu’s brows furrowed.

After lunch, Zhao Mingzhu didn’t go back to the classroom but found a quiet place to call Song Ruyi.

The call connected quickly, and Zhao Mingzhu heard Song Ruyi’s voice: "Mingzhu, what’s up, you looking for mom?"

Zhao Mingzhu hesitated for a moment: "Mom, I saw my sister today, she has started school."

Song Ruyi laughed upon hearing this: "Yes, I took your sister for her enrollment today, from now on she’ll be at the same school as you."

"Why didn’t sister join our class?"

Zhao Mingzhu feigned surprise and asked: "If her grades aren’t good, can’t our family sponsor more? We can donate more things."

Song Ruyi thought for a moment: "Your sister herself didn’t want to go to class one."

Zhao Mingzhu immediately understood what was going on, her expression was very unpleasant, secretly resenting Anning for causing trouble.

She had already thought it through, if Anning had come to class one, she would have incited her classmates to ostracize Anning, subjecting her to silent treatment in the class, and she would have had her admirers deliberately target Anning.

Anning, being timid, wouldn’t have lasted a few days in class one.

And being targeted by the whole class, Anning’s studies wouldn’t improve, and from then on, she would only be under her thumb.

Who knew Anning would lose her mind and go to class twelve, full of bad students, making her out of reach.

She was always proud and disdainful of socializing with students who weren’t good at studying; she didn’t know anyone from class twelve, so she had no way to speak ill of Anning.

"Mom, you can’t indulge sister like that."

Zhao Mingzhu earnestly persuaded Song Ruyi: "You probably don’t know what kind of people are in class twelve, but they don’t want to study, they only make trouble all day long. Can sister really do well with them? If she doesn’t want to go to class one, she could be placed in another class, class four or five are quite good..."

Song Ruyi wasn’t really interested in what Zhao Mingzhu was saying.

She chuckled: "Alright, mom knows, thank you for worrying about your sister. But we don’t expect your sister to do very well in school; we just want her to be happy."

Hearing this, Zhao Mingzhu felt a fire brewing inside her.

Why?

Why does she have to study hard and compete for excellence, while Anning can take it easy and reap the benefits?

Is it because a biological child can enjoy such privileges, to be spoiled unconditionally?
