Chapter 24: Way Too Forward
Everyone in the international cla.s.s was taken aback.
In the past, Shen Xi was invisible to them and a n.o.body.
Today, she was proud and dignified, a diamond that shone brightly in the dark.
Shen Xi was swift in her action. The blade pa.s.sed through the gap between two of Su Mus.h.i.+’s fingers and bored itself through the surface of the desk. She parted her lips and uttered one word, “Leave!”
The blade of the penknife was buried into the desk and only its handle was to be seen.
The rest of the students were stunned. They were impressed and somewhat horrified at the same time. Amazing!
Su Mus.h.i.+ regarded the fierce Shen Xi with a chill down his spine. He warned, “Shen Xi, just you wait!”
The students of the international cla.s.s came from rich families and not many of them feared Su Mus.h.i.+. They could not help but laugh when they saw how hilarious he looked trying to play it cool.
It was their first time seeing Su Mus.h.i.+’s agitated expression. Shen Xi was right. He looked repulsive, indeed.
“What are you laughing at?!” Su Mus.h.i.+ yelled angrily. He was close to exploding in rage as the whole cla.s.s jeered at him, so he left.
He made a fool of himself, all because of that wicked b*tch Shen Xi.
He would have his revenge and get her out of Capital No. 4 High School one day.
Shen Xi’s lips curled into a smile as Su Mus.h.i.+ fled. Slowly, she pulled the penknife out of the desk.
Ultimately, Su Mus.h.i.+ was just a douche who bullied those weaker than him but feared the ones who were stronger than him.
“Awesome!”
“Shen Xi’s a bada.s.s!”
“Excellent!”
“Hahaha, I never liked the way Su Mus.h.i.+ behaves. He’s so fake. Nicely done!”
The students in the international cla.s.s cheered enthusiastically and gave their thumbs up to Shen Xi. Their eyes were filled with admiration and respect.
It was perfectly executed, and it felt great!
The students of the international cla.s.s and the top cla.s.s had never seen eye to eye. They hated each other.
Students from the top cla.s.s often despised the imbeciles from the international cla.s.s. They chided them for being stupid and made fun of their results.
The students from the international cla.s.s were not bothered by this. Instead, they jeered the top cla.s.s students for being nerds and robots that studied all day long.
The girls who disliked Shen Xi after Pei Xu had shown interest in her were now fascinated by her. They had even started to like her.
Not bad, she was rather remarkable.
The international cla.s.s girls excelled at smoking, drinking, make-up, clubbing, dancing and gaming. However, they sucked academically, and most of the time, they hated superficial people.
People like Su Ruowan, who seemed kind, attractive and popular on the surface, were the ones they hated the most.
On the contrary, people like Shen Xi were honest, direct and did not attempt to put up a front. As such, the girls adored her. The people of the international cla.s.s should behave this way.
“Hi, I’m Song Wenye, and I look after the girls in the cla.s.s.” Song Wenye proffered a hand. “Shen Xi, welcome to the international cla.s.s.”
Shen Xi stood up and shook her hand out of courtesy. “Thank you.”
She would graduate in another semester, so she must use the remaining months to build up her relations.h.i.+p with her cla.s.smates.
After all, this society was all about networking and ties with people, and people in the international cla.s.s were worth building relations.h.i.+ps with.
“If you face any problems, just look for me.” Song Wenye patted her chest as she regarded the pretty girl before her.
She was charming, no doubt, but a bit on the cold side. An ice queen!
“Alright.” Shen Xi was rather forward. “Lil Ye, I want to take part in the dancing compet.i.tion at the end of this month.”
“No problem, you can count on me!” Song Wenye was surprised, too. She thought, ‘Dammit, I was just being polite, but you’re way too forward!’
