Lu Yang noticed that people were staring at them. He shot them an arrogant glance and lifted his chin, appearing especially fierce. “What are you looking at! Haven’t you seen bottom-of-the-barrel students discussing questions!”
The students were intimidated by him and they quickened their steps to keep their distance from him. Gu Mang lifted her eyelids and shot them an insipid glance.
Exiting the game, she put her hands in her pockets and suggested vapidly, “Since there’s no self-study tonight, shall we go to Starlight Plaza?”
“Sounds good,” said Lu Yang. “Sister Mang, you want to eat there?”
Gu Mang lazily acknowledged him. “And buy some books on the way.”
They arrived at the cafeteria.
Chu Yao and Fatty lifted the curtain for them to enter.
Shen Huan said, “The teacher said that we can now do past year’s papers so we can buy them too.”
Meng Jinyang nodded in agreement.
…
After school let out they rode the bus to Starlight Plaza.
Playing on the gigantic screen at Starlight Plaza were snippets of Sheng Ting’s new song. They had just finished filming the MV last night and the advertis.e.m.e.nts began today. Sheng Ting’s team was definitely competent. Gu Mang took a look at it and raised her eyebrow.
Shen Huan could not help but dance with the rhythm. Her face was filled with excitement. “Sister Mang, Jinyang, Shen Huan’s new song is really good! Its rhythm and rhyme are fantastic. It would be even more captivating if there was a dance to go along with it!”
“It’ll be released the day after along with the MV, d*mn!” Fatty said as he turned to look at Gu Mang and asked, “Sister Mang, who on earth is the female lead of Sheng Ting’s MV?”
Gu Mang’s lips curled into a smile while she arched her eyebrows. She softly replied, “It’s me.”
Fatty’s face twitched while the rest remained silent. Chu Yao wanted to say that he would chop off his head if it were her. However, given the previous lesson when he was humiliated for saying that he would chop his head off if Gu Mang were beautiful, he kept his lips sealed.
They stood in front of the screen to watch Sheng Ting’s publicity video before strolling into the mall. There was an exceptionally huge bookstore on the third floor selling Chinese and foreign books. Meng Jinyang and Shen Huan were picking review materials at the high school section while Lu Yang followed them.
Sliding her hands in her pockets, Gu Mang walked casually to the foreign books section. She scanned the rows of books expressionlessly before stopping upon seeing a professional medical term dictionary. She took it off the shelf. c.o.c.king her head to one side, she flipped through the book, looking for information on neuroscience.
Lu Yang and the rest picked out their books and the four of them began looking for Gu Mang. They finally found her in the foreign books section. Looking at the books in her hands, they were astounded.
Gu Mang did not look up and calmly said, “Wait a minute.”
They stared at her quietly.
Gu Mang looked through all the books and finally picked out a German book. “Let’s go.”
Meng Jinyang blinked her eyes and stared at Gu Mang who was walking in front of her. She gestured to the university entrance exam review materials with her chin. “Gu Mang, I picked out yours as well.”
Wickedness hung at the corner of Gu Mang’s beautiful mouth as she pinched her friend’s cheek. “How considerate of you.”
With that said Gu Mang put her arm around her friends and walked towards the cas.h.i.+er. Meng Jinyang looked at the book in Gu Mang’s arms and some incidents resurfaced in her mind. For instance, when she did not know how to do questions on her a.s.signments, an ingenious answer would appear in the blank s.p.a.ce the next day. The premonition in her mind was growing stronger.
Lu Yang and Chu Yao were confused.
Gu Mang held the book with one hand. Those behind her could see the t.i.tle of the book but they did not know any of the words. Shen Huan used her phone to search for the term and it turned out to be “Neuroscience.”
