Chapter 41: The Key is Temperament
Su Ye said nothing for a moment. Then, she quietly accepted it.
The Gu family was a slightly famous scholarly family in the capital. Although Gu Qi was in the Snail Class, she wasn’t a bad student in the traditional sense and her overall results were firmly in first place in Class 23.
Half an hour ago, when she found out that she was going to be desk mates with Su Ye throughout her third year of high school, she was extremely afraid.
She had heard a lot about Su Ye; how she was involved with the Qi and Bo families and how she smoked, drank and stole people’s money.
She wanted to avoid disaster. Therefore, she took the initiative to hand over the only bit of money she had in her pocket today.
Originally, she had already prepared to transfer more money on WeChat if it was not enough, but Su Ye accepted it. Her mood instantly brightened, and she was like a fish in water when she started to do the exam.
Five minutes into the exam, she inadvertently glanced at Su Ye, and her neck was twisted.
Su also tore off the four corners of the paper and wrote ABCD on them accordingly. Then, she crushed them up into balls, shook them in her hand, threw them on the table, and began to draw lots…
If she drew an A, she would circle A on the answer card, and if she drew a B, she would circle B.
She quickly finished the multiple-choice questions and then picked up a pen to do the long answer questions. She did the long answer questions even faster, so fast that she didn’t even have time to think. Presumably, she was just randomly doing them.
She took half an hour to finish the paper and after she did it, she took out the paper with the list of formulae and looked at it.
Gu Qi silently prayed. What she was doing was too confusing.
After the test, it was time for their lunch break. The paper was passed from the back to the front, and when it reached Zhang Guangqiu’s hand, the last row’s papers were piled on top.
Zhang Guangqiu looked at the paper that was missing four corners and was silent for two seconds. Fortunately, he didn’t say anything.
After each class finished collecting the papers, the sound of footsteps came from the corridor again.
Gu Qi looked at Su Ye and said with great caution, “About lunch… do you need me to buy food for you…”
Su Ye also took out the ten Yuan in her pocket and held it between her middle finger and index finger. She waved it in front of her. “Let’s go together. It’s my treat.”
Gu Qi was stunned and didn’t react until Su Ye’s figure disappeared at the entrance of the class. Then, she took the thermos flask that Su Ye had left behind and followed her out.
On the way out, she opened the flask and took a peek.
There were goji berries in it.
This was crazy.

Su Ye had just stepped out of the classroom when she heard Rong Ruo’s crisp voice from the corridor. “Director Liu, you were looking for me.”
The full name of Director Liu was Liu Bi. She was the teaching director of the third years. She was in her forties and had a slightly chubby figure, her voice was very clear. “Tomorrow is the admission ceremony for the first years. I recommend that you represent the third year’s outstanding students to speak on stage. Go back and prepare.”
The boys who passed by put their arms around each other’s shoulders and whispered to each other.
“Isn’t this Rong Ruo, the pretty girl? Man, she really lives up to her reputation.”
“It’s a pity that she’s the daughter of a wealthy family. We can only look up to her!”
“With her figure and her appearance, the girls in our class are nothing compared to her.”
“When Su Ye came today, I really felt that she had become prettier. Actually, if we look carefully, Su Ye is not inferior to Rong Ruo at all. In fact, she’s even…”
“What’s the use of just being good-looking? Temperament! The key is temperament!”
The last male student was so excited that he forgot to speak silently. Liu Bi shot a glare at him, causing them to shrink their shoulders and duck their heads as they scurried away.
Rong Ruo straightened her back, accentuating her outstanding figure. She smiled at Liu Bi obediently and said, “Don’t worry.”
She swept a glance at Su Ya who had come out from class 23. “Director Liu, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first. I have a few good revision materials that I want to give to Su Ye.”
