The last cla.s.s was physical education and Cla.s.ses 3 and 5 were having the lesson together.
The two cla.s.ses gathered at the sports field. They were not far away from each other and could see each other’s situation.
After the groups disbanded, Liu Zhijing and Tao Yueying gave each other a wink.
Tao Yueying nodded, then followed Xia Xibei quietly.
Xia Xibei was about to head back to the cla.s.sroom. She was introverted before and was not close to other students. Although she was no longer introverted, she still had no intention of being too close to them.
Anyway, physical education was not a compulsory lesson, so she chose to go back to the cla.s.sroom.
Unexpectedly, she b.u.mped into someone at a turn.
When she looked up, she found that it was Tao Yueying.
Tao Yueying frowned and looked at her with displeasure.
“What bad luck,” she muttered before snorting and leaving without looking back.
Xia Xibei looked at her back, her eyes narrowing slightly.
If it were anyone else, she wouldn’t have thought too much into it, but Tao Yueying was Xia Qinghan’s loyal follower.
So, seeing this seemingly normal scene, she did not believe it was really normal.
Besides, although this was indeed a turn, it shouldn’t be such a coincidence that they would b.u.mp into each other.
Pondering over the tricks they might be playing, she couldn’t help but laugh.
Did they really think that she was a fool?
The corners of Xia Xibei’s mouth lifted slightly and she continued to walk towards the cla.s.sroom.
On the other side, Tao Yueying screamed after playing around with other female cla.s.smates for a while.
“Huh? Where’s my bracelet?!”
Her scream immediately attracted the attention of other students.
“Bracelet? Is that the one you were wearing this morning?” someone asked.
“Yes, it’s the limited-edition bracelet endorsed by Brother Yu! I spent so much effort getting it!”
After hearing this, all the other girls were shocked.
“Is that the limited-edition bracelet endorsed by He Xuanyu?! My G.o.d! That must be expensive!”
“I wanted to buy it too, but I gave up when I saw the price. Yueying, you actually bought it?”
“Yes, it cost me nearly 10,000 yuan!” Tao Yueying looked around anxiously. “Please help me to find it!”
Everyone reacted immediately, starting to look around for it.
But after searching for a while, they found nothing.
“Could someone have taken it?” someone whispered.
“Ah!” Tao Yueying immediately exclaimed, “I think I know!”
Everyone immediately asked, “What did you remember?”
Tao Yueying looked confused, telling them, “Someone b.u.mped into me just now.”
She knew the art of speech, saying that someone had b.u.mped into her, and not her who had b.u.mped into someone else.
“Then what?” Liu Zhijing asked immediately.
“After that, I felt that my hand was a bit weird, but I didn’t think too much about it at the time,” Tao Yueying frowned, looking a little confused and uncertain. “But maybe I’m wrong?”
Liu Zhijing was anxious, asking, “Who b.u.mped into you?”
“Xia Xibei of Cla.s.s 3.”
“Xia Xibei?”
The other students glanced at each other in surprise.
They had some impressions of Xia Xibei, mainly that she was really good-looking.
How could a girl who was better-looking than Xia Qinghan not be noticeable?
Besides, they had also heard that she had ranked fifth in the cohort in the recent a.s.sessment!
“But this should not be a problem, should it?” someone asked hesitantly.
Even if Xia Xibei did b.u.mp into her, that did not mean she had anything to do with the loss of the bracelet.
No one dared to voice that this matter might be directly related to Xia Xibei.
“But why would she b.u.mp into you for no reason? The hallway was so wide! Forget it, let me ask around.”
Liu Zhijing looked around, her eyes lighting up upon seeing someone.
“Jin Yazhen, come here!”
