Chapter 319: The Tortoise and the Hare
The next morning, Xia Xibei had just arrived at school when Song Jiaren rushed over.
“I saw Xia Qinghan online yesterday!” Song Jiaren’s grim face showed contempt as she complained, “She is being called the most beautiful school beauty! Please! What a joke!”
Yesterday she also saw that post on her home page, almost dying of anger.
Top school beauty? How dare she?!
“She must be doing a PR stunt!” Song Jiaren said indignantly. “You were much more amazing than her yesterday!”
Xia Qinghan was just a cheerleader, so how could she be better than Xia Xibei? She had conquered fifth cla.s.s on her own! No one could ignore Xia Xibei, not unless they were blind.
“Of course it’s a PR campaign,” Xia Xibei nodded, “But it’s her choice.”
Song Jiaren’s eyes widened, “How can you not care?!” She was about to die of anger. “If she’s the most beautiful school beauty, then what about you?”
“Me? I’m prettier than her,” Xia Xibei said with a simple shrug of her shoulders.
“But- When the time comes, she’ll be more popular than you!” Song Jiaren almost lost her temper with Xia Xibei.
How could she be so calm?! She was super upset watching Xia Qinghan’s popularity grow.
“All right,” Xia Xibei patted her shoulder and rea.s.sured her. “Have you heard about the tortoise and the hare?”
Song Jiaren froze for a moment, “The tortoise and the hare?”
“The hare ran faster than the tortoise, but fell asleep in the middle, so the tortoise won in the end.”
“You don’t need to explain it to me, I understand,” Song Jiaren glowered. Her grades might not be as good as theirs, but they weren’t so bad that she hadn’t heard of all this.
“Xia Qinghan may be a tortoise, but I’m definitely not the sleeping hare,” Xia Xibei explained with a smile. “You don’t have to worry; I have my own plans.”
Although Song Jiaren didn’t know what Xia Xibei had planned, Xia Xibei’s calmness and composure also calmed her down.
“All right then.” She exhaled, “I’ll do as you say.”
When she saw the hot search about Xia Qinghan last night, she almost threw up in disgust.
She wanted to put Xia Xibei’s picture up so she could tell those people online who the real most beautiful school beauty was, but she resisted in the end.
She knew that if she took the liberty to put the photo up, Xia Xibei would not be happy. Now, it seemed that Xia Xibei did indeed have plans of her own.
“Well, cla.s.s is starting,” Xia Xibei said, “We also have a game this afternoon.”
They had just won one game yesterday, but there were more games coming up.
“Good,” Song Jiaren nodded, getting excited again. “I have the horn for cheering this time, don’t worry!”
The corners of Xia Xibei’s mouth twitched, “Horn?”
“Yeah!” Song Jiaren nodded her head forcefully, very excited. “I even picked the loudest speaker! I promise you that it will definitely motivate the whole audience!”
Xia Xibei’s expression was mixed.
“Do we need to be so over the top?” she asked.
Besides, Song Jiaren’s voice was loud enough. Did they really need a speaker?
And...
“Today we are playing against your cla.s.s, the eighth cla.s.s, right?”
Song Jiaren was startled for a moment, “Competing with my cla.s.s?”
“Yeah.”
Song Jiaren blinked, then finally made a decision, “It’s okay. No matter which cla.s.s you compete against, I’m cheering for you!”
Xia Xibei was left speechless. Her cla.s.s would disown Song Jiaren right?
When the afternoon game came, Xia Xibei found that Song Jiaren had really joined the crowd for the third cla.s.s.
But the eighth cla.s.s had Xia Qinghan and several others.
In addition, there was a girl who was not a stranger to her either.
