Chapter 42
42 When You Go To School
“Nothing much. I was just waiting for you. Besides, I wanted to wait for you too.”
Gu Man thought to herself: Nothing Much? Could it be that they’re worried that Li Guo will take revenge on me? Now, will the Bai family step in and block those arrogant people?
For some reason, Gu Man suddenly thought of Xiang Yin. He was probably the one who gave the instructions!
Gu Man nodded, feeling touched. Xiang Yin had helped her many times, and she didn’t know how to repay him.
“I’m fine alone. You can go to your classroom.” The first and third years of high school were in different school buildings. Gu Man was worried that Bai Ling would be late.
“It’s fine. I usually run to the classroom when it’s almost class. When I thought about waiting for you at the school gate, I woke up half an hour early!”
Gu Man smiled.
Bai Ling pouted and complained, “Miss Gu Man, it’s been a few days since we ate together. You haven’t come to see me!”
“I’m sorry, I have something to do.” Gu Man had promised to visit her, but she was busy familiarizing herself with her homework and this world. In the blink of an eye, a week had passed.
If the maid had not called her in the morning, she would have almost forgotten to come to school.
“I’ll forgive you. I heard from my brother that you have a lot of things to do at home, so I understand.” Bai Ling turned from a petty person to an obedient little sister.
This was the first time Gu Man had met Bai Ling’s kind and lively personality. Even though Bai Ling was chattering, she did not feel annoyed.
The good and evil of a person seemed to come to Gu Man automatically, it was like common sense and it would never be wrong. Therefore, almost no one could pretend in front of her.
As Gu Man walked on the road, many students started to talk about her. It was because Gu Man had beaten Li Guo into a pig’s head. This had not happened in Han City First High School for a long time.
Someone exclaimed, “How could that small body beat Li Guo into a pig face?”
Someone else was worried. “I think Li Guo will definitely take revenge. If it were me, I would just transfer schools.”
Someone even cared about Gu Man’s appearance. “Why did everyone say that she was a country bumpkin before? She doesn’t look like one! She can already be the belle of our school.”
Suddenly, the students who praised Gu Man for being good-looking were stopped by a cold voice. “Love-struck fool! Do you have to be so superficial? How can you praise someone who’s ranked last in the cohort?!”
All the students looked over and saw a handsome youth and a beautiful girl appear in front of them. They hurriedly greeted, “Hello, Senior Han Yi and Senior Wei Wei.”
Wei Wei felt extremely upset. She had always been recognized as the school belle. Now, a country girl with the lowest grades in the cohort was suddenly called the school belle. When has she ever been humiliated like this? She was furious!
However, she still looked gentle on the surface and said to Han Yi, “Don’t be fierce to them. Isn’t it normal for someone to be prettier than me? Gu Man just came back from the countryside and hasn’t adapted to school yet. It’s normal that her results can’t keep up for the time being.”
When everyone heard Wei Wei’s words, they immediately felt that they had misjudged her. How could Gu Man, who came from the countryside, compare to such an understanding senior?
Someone immediately started to flatter her. “Senior Wei Wei is the best-looking. Her results are so good. Such an outstanding and beautiful senior is our role model!”
Wei Wei smiled and walked away with Han Yi.
Han Yi comforted her, “Don’t listen to them. In my heart, you’re the smartest and most beautiful. You’re the school belle of Han City High School.”
“I’m fine. I want to get to know Gu Man.”
“Gu Man seems to be from Class Five. I heard that Class Five is starting to jointly kick her out of the class. She’s holding them back every time she takes an exam. She deserves it.”
Wei Wei despised her in her heart, but she still pretended to be worried about Gu Man. “She’s so pitiful. If no class is willing to take her in, won’t she have to transfer schools?”
“How is she worthy of your concern? Hurry up and leave,” Han Yi reminded her.
As soon as Gu Man walked into the classroom, the class monitor said to her, “Gu Man, the form teacher wants you to go to the office.”
Gu Man stood up and walked out. As soon as she walked out of the classroom, everyone started to whisper to each other.
“Look at how arrogant she is. It’s as if she’s so great.”
“That’s right. She’s about to be kicked out of our class, yet she’s still so shameless.”
“Say, her results are so bad. She should only be able to go to class ten, right? She might even be kicked out of First High!”
