Chapter 40: Can She Change Her Ancestor?

This is my own ancestor, I mustn't get angry, mustn't get angry...

Ye Luo tried hard to remind herself inwardly, but she couldn't bring herself to say anything nice.

“Of course we like it!” Yan Baba interrupted eagerly. “Just that huge banner cost us dozens of dollars—it’s all money, you know! How could we not like it?”

Lei Xingxing gave her a goofy grin. “As long as you like it, that’s what matters. We really put our hearts into it.”

Ye Luo: …I haven’t said a word…

Qian Xiaoxing smiled shyly, his voice still soft and gentle. “We didn’t really know how to celebrate for you, so we talked it over and thought this was the best way to show we’re happy for you.”

Ye Wuqi immediately chimed in, as if it were the most natural thing in the world. “Since we’re happy for you, of course the whole school needs to know!”

Ye Luo was gritting her teeth inside: Thank you very much!

Really…

If these weren’t her own ancestors, she’d have walked away, even if she didn’t hit anyone.

It was just too embarrassing!

Qiao Qingyang was still holding a ridiculously ugly wreath made of foxtail grass. She handed it to Ye Luo. “Here, put it on. Thanks for studying so well and passing last place on to me.”

Ye Luo: …

“Pfft, haha…” The crowd watching couldn’t hold back anymore and burst into cheerful laughter.

Ye Luo: …

“Why are you embarrassed? Come on, take it.” Yan Baba winked at her.

Ye Luo: …Which eye of yours sees me as embarrassed?

She simply doesn’t want it!

Ye Wuqi was even more direct; he grabbed the ugly wreath from Qiao Qingyang and tried to put it around Ye Luo’s neck. Only when Ye Luo sidestepped did he fail.

Seeing he’d missed, Ye Wuqi quickly recovered, froze for a second, then put the wreath around his own neck instead. He spread his arms wide, swaying his hips and stepping in slow motion, showing off to Qiao Qingyang with a smug face. “Beauty, I told you to give it to me earlier but you wouldn’t—now it’s mine, la~ la~ la~”

So silly…

Ye Luo wanted to cover her face.

Can she swap out her ancestors?

“Haha…” Yan Baba and Lei Xingxing laughed loudly, completely unrestrained, their stomachs hurting from laughter. “Brother Qi, who knew you knew the moonwalk? Look at how you twist—so ridiculous!”

“Pfft.” Qiao Qingyang was also amused and laughed.

Qian Xiaoxing’s face was full of laughter too, but even when he laughed, he still looked shy and frail.

But the students from other classes who were watching seemed strangely afraid to laugh, all covering their mouths, as if terrified their laughter would slip out.

Ye Luo frowned, glancing at those onlookers.

Just now, everyone only laughed at her, but no one actually said anything mocking—strange.

At that moment, Gong Ran came over with several girls.

It was just too lively here; the whole school knew, so that’s why Gong Ran had come.

As soon as she arrived, Gong Ran sneered sharply and venomously. “How utterly disgraceful—total score 130? My score in a single subject is higher than that. He Luo, how do you have the nerve to celebrate? Letting the whole school know—why not just embarrass yourself in your own class?”

Before Ye Luo could reply, Yan Baba stepped in front of her, shielding her, and shouted at the top of his lungs, “What’s so disgraceful? You haven’t scored full marks in any subject, have you? Our top student Shen got full marks in every single subject this time!”

He wore an expression as if he was determined to infuriate her.

“You!” Gong Ran was so angry she nearly broke her molars.

Lei Xingxing also stepped in front of Ye Luo, standing next to Yan Baba, and added, “You eternal second place!”
