The Ugly Girl Gained a Beauty Purchase System-Chapter 15: Exam 01

"Good morning, deskmate," Yan Xi said very early in the morning when she came back to the classroom and saw Shen Qiuyi who had also come back early in the morning.

".....Morning," Shen Qiuyi said awkwardly.

Before she could sit down, a group of girls swarmed over.

"Yan Xi, are you okay?"

"Yeah, Zhou Zhou didn't do anything to you yesterday, did he?"

"What could he do to her? My classmate told me that Qi Shi, the student council president, came yesterday and suppressed Zhou Zhou's group. As expected of the president!"

"Qi Shi actually came?"

"Damn, if we had known, we wouldn't have left. Qi Shi rarely stays at school after class. We were lucky."

"Would you dare not leave? Zhou Zhou looked like he wanted to eat someone yesterday!"

When it came to this incident, the girls around fell silent.

Yesterday, almost no girls stayed to help Yan Xi when she was left alone, even though she was just a new classmate.

Just then, Zhou Zhou suddenly came in from the door with a face full of displeasure, and the dark circles under his eyes were even heavier.

He had barely slept all night last night, almost suffocating from anger. He saw the gift Yan Xi had given him yesterday, a carton of Vitasoy milk, in his shirt pocket.

Was this meant to mock him? Vitasoy milk?

Her explanation was: Don't you like it? I thought you would.

Damn it! This was deliberate ridicule!

This girl had challenged his tolerance over and over again. Was she implying that he hadn't gotten over drinking milk?

It had to be said that Zhou Zhou fully understood what she meant! 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝘯𝘰𝓿𝑒𝓁.𝒸ℴ𝑚

Zhou Zhou looked around the crowd with a vicious expression, staring at Yan Xi's direction for an especially long time.

The atmosphere began to freeze as several girls could no longer withstand the pressure.

"Thank you all for your concern. I'm fine. You can all go back to your seats," Yan Xi said with a smile, breaking the frozen atmosphere.

"Let's go, everyone! If Yan Xi needs anything, she can talk to me," Guan Yongyan also felt it was getting awkward and hurried the girls away.

After the girls left, the atmosphere became a bit cold. Zhou Zhou slowly went back to his seat, but still glanced over from time to time.

"Thank you, deskmate, for yesterday," Yan Xi said.

She took out from her bag some steamed millet cakes she had gotten up early to make this morning, ignoring Zhou Zhou.

The little millet cakes were green and looked cute, appetizing little balls.

"Try what I made."

Shen Qiuyi looked at her, somewhat surprised, then turned her head and refused, "No need. Yesterday I was just....."

"You disdain what I made?" Yan Xi looked at her with misty eyes.

Yan Xi's voice was slightly choked up, very pitiful.

"You don't like me, do you, deskmate...."

Yan Xi seemed very sad about the rejection, burying her head in her arms, seeming to sob softly.

People around began to look over. Shen Qiuyi began to feel uncomfortable.

"I don't....."

Yan Xi's crying grew a little louder.

"Don't cry....."

Yan Xi's crying went up another decibel.

"....."

"Fine, I'll eat them, okay? Stop crying!" Shen Qiuyi gave up and began to pick up a millet cake to eat.

"Is it good?"

"It's good." Shen Qiuyi answered reflexively.

The green millet cakes tasted of grass, soft and sticky, very delicious.

Wait! Shen Qiuyi was confused. Wasn't she crying just now?

Looking up, Yan Xi was smiling at her. There was no sign of crying at all.

So the crying just now was fake?

Too fake! This girl was too much!

"You tricked me! Yan Xi!" Shen Qiuyi slammed the desk standing up.

The whole classroom instantly fell silent, everyone looking over at them.

Yan Xi pulled Shen Qiuyi's sleeve and started apologizing to the class with a smile, "Sorry everyone, I just played a joke on my deskmate."

Her beautiful eyebrows smiled charmingly. No matter who she looked at with those eyes, it was as if they were her whole world, very charming.

It just happened to catch Zhou Zhou's eyes.

Damn, she really could act!

Many boys secretly thought she was definitely top-tier. Most girls around were innocent youthful types. Very few were sexy like Yan Xi, which was quite rare for high school students of the same age.

"It's fine, just keep it down next time."

"Okay."

"....."

Everyone forgave her.

Shen Qiuyi awkwardly sat back down, but she didn't want to interact with Yan Xi anymore.

【She still doesn't seem to like you.】

【Is that so?】 Yan Xi smiled indifferently.

"They're fine. I have an issue," Zhou Zhou suddenly stood up and walked towards Yan Xi.

Everyone gasped. He was looking for trouble again.

Zhou Zhou walked towards her with his backpack over one shoulder.

Just when everyone thought Zhou Zhou was going to do something, he suddenly passed Yan Xi's desk and went to Kong Jie's desk.

"I'll sit here from now on. You go sit at my old spot," Zhou Zhou put his bag on Kong Jie's desk.

???

Kong Jie was dumbfounded, "Bro, did you take the wrong meds? Don't you sleep during class? If you sit here, won't Teacher Peng hit you?"

Zhou Zhou's previous seat was in the corner of the classroom, the best spot for sleeping through class. The few students in front were top students. Their books were thick enough to block ten fat guys.

But the seat behind Yan Xi was in the section most watched by teachers, simply the golden throne for taking notes and being called on to answer questions.

If the school's usual top students wanted this seat, Kong Jie would've happily made way. But Zhou Zhou wanting this seat was simply preposterous and shameless to the extreme!

Don't think I've forgotten you got into the elite class barely through strong PE grades!

"Why can't I want to study hard these days?" Zhou Zhou shamelessly said, as if it was natural for Kong Jie to give up his seat.

Kong Jie's mouth twitched. I see you just want to cause trouble!

Just then, Peng Haiyang suddenly entered the classroom and glared sharply at Zhou Zhou, then said,

"Yan Xi, come out for a moment."

Called out again?

"Okay, teacher."

Peng Haiyang took Yan Xi to the office and asked, "Did you have some conflict with Zhou Zhou and Tu Qingluan yesterday? They hurt your hand, right?"

"I....."

"You can speak freely to teacher. Qi Shi told me about it yesterday. Don't worry." Peng Haiyang said warmly to the girl.

"I didn't expect things like this to happen after coming to this school. Uncle Principal promised I would be fine studying here, but Teacher....." Yan Xi looked at Peng Haiyang's concerned face and said.

"The principal is your uncle?"

"Ah, no...that's not it." Yan Xi hurriedly covered her mouth, avoiding his gaze, seeming to regret her slip of the tongue.

No wonder.

The girl's failed attempt to cover up only confirmed it in Peng Haiyang's eyes. No wonder the principal asked him to take care of her. An ordinary girl couldn't have gotten into the Qingteng School District East Main Campus elite program through normal enrollment. To get into the main campus, you either needed exceptionally good grades or impressive family background.

Moreover, getting into the elite Qingteng class took both grades and background.

That sly old fox of a principal wanted to get elected recently. This kind of thing absolutely could not come to light.

"Teacher understands."

"Teacher, please don't tell anyone about our conversation today. Please! Or uncle will definitely scold me to death." Yan Xi said nervously when she heard this.

Indeed still a young girl who couldn't keep a secret.

"Of course. Don't worry, teacher will keep it confidential. Relax, don't be nervous. Even if the principal doesn't say so, teacher would still handle this seriously." Peng Haiyang's attitude became even warmer.

"Teacher, I'm not blaming them. And I wasn't really hurt yesterday either. I want to ask teacher to help withdraw the punishment on Qi Shi. Can you?" Yan Xi asked Peng Haiyang.

Hearing this, Peng Haiyang suddenly slammed the table, "Did that scoundrel Zhou Zhou and that little bastard Tu Qingluan threaten you!? Don't worry, Yan Xi, teacher will....."

"Teacher, no. I really don't want to make things difficult for you as soon as I joined this class, and I was not really seriously hurt. Also, I talked with Zhou Zhou yesterday, and he won't do things like that again. I believe Tu Qingluan feels the same way."

"So I hope you revoke the punishment." Yan Xi said earnestly, with sincerity in her eyes.

Peng Haiyang looked at Yan Xi's peace-seeking attitude and felt warmth in his heart, also letting out a breath of relief.

After all, he didn't want the classmates in the class to become so hostile. They were all young masters and young ladies, if things went bad it would cause trouble for him too.

Peng Haiyang noticed Yan Xi's hand was still not fully recovered, still somewhat bruised, and felt a bit guilty.

"Alright, I'll talk to Qi Shi about this matter, don't worry."

"Focus on preparing for the exam tomorrow."

"Ok." Yan Xi lowered her head obediently, a subtle gleam in her eyes.

As for the school principal's niece?

Of course it's.....really! Right?
