The other boy scoffed as well. “Just ignore them. Once the university entrance exams come around, they won’t be able to graduate and go to university. Let’s see what they can be so smug about then.”
Gu Yin frowned and said softly, “Don’t say that about them. Everyone has their own strengths.”
“Being a gangster is a strength?” The boy snorted.
Gu Yin pursed her lips. “Let’s go buy our books.”
With that, she glanced in the direction where Gu Mang had left in, some coldness in her focused gaze.
“Why bother bickering with Cla.s.s Twenty? They can’t compare to us.” Gu Yin’s deskmate eased the atmosphere and looked at another boy. “Hey, Jianghuai, is there any way you can help me get Sheng Ting’s new alb.u.m? It’s going to be released the day after tomorrow. I’m afraid I won’t be able to get it.”
“Don’t worry, leave that to me.” Jianghuai slapped his chest and asked Gu Yin, “Yinyin, do you want one as well?”
Gu Yin smiled and nodded. She also liked Sheng Ting’s songs and especially his MVs.
She had been fascinated by Sheng Ting since she was in middle school, but Sheng Ting had changed ch.o.r.eographers since then and she found herself not enjoying the MVs as much as she used to. But this didn’t prevent her from continuing to be a fan of Sheng Ting because every one of his songs was a cla.s.sic and he was known as one of the top dancers in the entertainment industry.

After eating, Gu Mang went to buy macarons. When she was about to pay, her phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number.
She hung up and asked the cas.h.i.+er to scan the code first.
Lu Yang and Fatty came back carrying six cups of milk tea and gave them one cup each. “Sister Mang, what else are you buying?”
Gu Mang chewed the pearls in her mouth. “That’s enough,” she said, expressionless.
“Then let’s go back to school,” said Chu Yao.
The group walked toward the elevator. As soon as they entered the elevator Gu Mang’s cell phone rang again. When she took it out of her pocket, a card fell out and tumbled to the ground. Everyone looked over instinctively.
Written in small seal characters in the lower right corner of the black card was “Seal Palace.” The ringtone was the only sound in the elevator as everyone had gone silent.
Gu Mang calmly bent over to pick the card up and put it back inside her pocket. Then she answered the call.
“Ms. Gu, I’m Qin Rui,” said the person on the other end.
Gu Mang casually leaned against the elevator wall as she replied lazily, “Is anything the matter?”
“I need your help with something, Ms. Gu. Is it convenient to speak now?”
Gu Mang pursed her lips. On account of Qin Rui picking her up yesterday, she hummed in agreement tepidly.
“Here’s the thing. My sister recently suffered from a minor illness. She consulted a western doctor for a long time and she took medicine to the point that her face was turning yellow, but it was still useless. She can’t even eat meals anymore,” said Qin Rui.
Gu Mang looked down and said tepidly, “Who told you to look for me?”
Qin Rui suddenly became nervous, afraid that she had offended her and she said in a warm voice, “It was my cousin, Qin Fang. He told me that Western medicine wouldn’t be able to help and that I could look to Ms. Gu. Ms. Gu, you are very skilled and you successfully treated Mrs. Lu’s stubborn illness.”
Gu Mang didn’t reply, the raised corner of her eyes exuding her wild aura.
Qin Rui continued to persuade her, “Ms. Gu, may I ask for your help to diagnose and treat my sister? Don’t worry, you may name any price.”
When the elevator reached the first floor everyone walked out silently.
Gu Mang was silent for a few seconds before saying, “I’m going back to school. Send someone to pick me up.”
Qin Rui was instantly relieved of her nervousness. “Okay, I’ll come to pick you up myself.”
After Gu Mang hung up the group walked to the bus stop. Lu Yang, Chu Yao, and Fatty were quiet, likely wondering what was going on.
When they arrived at the bus stop, Lu Yang couldn’t help but look at Gu Mang and ask, “Sister Mang, was that the entrance card for Seal Palace just now?”
