Chapter 104: You're Just a Poor Student, So Don’t Delude Yourself!

Lei Xingxing continued eating breakfast. Qin Zhaowen lowered his head, still helping his younger brother copy the homework. Qin Zhaoyu plopped back down on his stool, clearly annoyed. "Don’t pay attention to her. What a despicable person, acting like the whole world revolves around her! Shameless!"

Ye Luo had long noticed that although the class didn’t perform well academically, everyone was united and wouldn’t tolerate anyone bullying their classmates. However, if she didn’t go, Gong Ran would definitely come looking for her again. Gong Ran never bothered her without reason; whenever she did, it meant trouble. It was better to just go and check.

"Damn!" Seeing Ye Luo still decided to go, Qin Zhaoyu angrily kicked the table again. He really couldn’t stand Gong Ran!

In the stairwell, Gong Ran stood waiting. When she saw Ye Luo arrive, she didn’t immediately say anything but glanced behind Ye Luo. Seeing she had come alone and that Ye Wuqi and the others hadn’t shown up, she relaxed. Then, she snapped at Ye Luo, “You’re really something! With them protecting you like that, you must be feeling pretty proud, huh?!”

Ye Luo, uninterested, directly asked, “What do you want?”

“Didn’t you know I came to see you for a reason?” Gong Ran said with surprise.

“When have you ever come to see me without a reason?”

“You’re talking back to me again!” Gong Ran’s temper flared, but she tried to hold it in and asked irritably, “I heard that Gong Lu likes someone named Ye Luo, do you know about that?”

Hearing this, Ye Luo realized Gong Ran still didn’t know she had changed her surname to Ye.

Seeing Ye Luo remain silent, Gong Ran assumed she was unaware and grew even more annoyed. “That useless Gong Lu! Not very capable, but he can keep his crush a secret from everyone!”

The next moment, she spoke in a commanding tone: “Hey, He Luo, if you ever find out anything, you have to tell me, got it?”

Ye Luo just turned and walked away.

Gong Ran didn’t stop her but shouted after her, “You’re just a lousy student, so don’t even dream about being first! Even someone as smart as me can’t get first place! Wasn’t your last stunt enough of a joke? Now the whole school knows you scored 130. Last time you were just lucky. If this time you fail like you did at No. 9 Middle School and get a bunch of zeros, let’s see who laughs at you then!”

Ye Luo ignored her words completely, expressionless as ever.

Back in the classroom, the bell rang just as the lesson was about to begin.

The teacher came in and saw Yan Baba sprawled out in the center of the room, snoring loudly. Apparently used to it, the teacher just nodded silently.

Without acknowledging Yan Baba, he walked straight to the podium and began the lesson.

Yan Baba and Ye Wuqi had slept through the entire morning but were now lively and mischievous again, joking and causing a ruckus.

When lunchtime arrived, they didn’t make a fuss for long and soon headed to the cafeteria with Ye Luo.

Today, only six students from Class 19—Ye Luo, Ye Wuqi, Yan Baba, Lei Xingxing, Qin Zhaoyu, and Qin Zhaowen—came to school. As they entered the cafeteria, the person in charge quickly approached them.

Yan Baba nudged Ye Wuqi. “Qi, could it be they’re looking for you?”

Ye Wuqi rolled his eyes. “When have I ever not paid for my meals? Why would they come after me?”

“Then why are they walking over to us?”

Before Yan Baba finished, the cafeteria manager reached Ye Luo and smiled, saying, “You must be Ye Luo. Hello, I’m in charge here. The meals are ready on the third floor, room 303. You and your classmates should head up there quickly.”
