Chapter 42: Chapter 042: Is it a Human_1
Imagining the scene earlier when her brother was sending Jiang Nanfei home, Huo Jinlan gritted her teeth, barely managing not to curse in frustration. Be cool. You’re the principal’s daughter, and the class leader of class one, how can you forget about your image?
“What’s wrong, Jinlan?” Wu Shanshan, the English class representative, had a good relationship with Huo Jinlan. Looking at her pale face, Wu Shanshan asked, “I heard your brother is back, why aren’t you happy at all?”
She was a local resident, and with Huo Beijiang’s widespread reputation in town, she had heard some rumors.
“I’m fine.” Huo Jinlan forced a smile, “Where is Qiao Jingxuan?”
“Him! He’s always the last one to arrive.” The punk responded dismissively.
“Nevermind him, what exactly is going on between you and Jiang Nanfei?” Wu Shanshan curiously asked, “She isn’t bullying you, is she? I’ve heard…”
Wu Shanshan started to laugh ambiguously after speaking halfway through her sentence.
They’re all boys and girls aged seventeen or eighteen, who already understood such matters. Everyone knew that something fun had happened since Wu Shanshan chuckled, those who knew the rumors joined her in the mischievous laugh.
Those who didn’t know were anxious and eager to find out, asking around with inquiring looks.
“What’s going on? From the looks of your laughter… Could it be that Jiang Nanfei is having an early romance?”
“No way! With her indigent look, how could the class monitor even like her?”
Qiao Jingxuan was initially the class monitor since junior year while Huo Jinlan was the deputy. However, Qiao Jingxuan’s academic performance dropped during senior year, so he resigned as the class monitor. Despite this, many still referred to him as the class monitor out of habit.
“I won’t like her.” A tall and slim male voice echoed from upstairs, it was a boy with the currently trendy short spiky hair. His pale skin and melancholic eyes were very popular looks.
Everyone burst into a meaningful laugh after hearing his words.
“Qiao Jingxuan, are you even human?” the muscular boy suddenly stood up and bellowed, “I find you so annoying, always thinking you’re so great!”
Qiao Jingxuan sneered coldly, “Well, at least I’m greater than you.”
“You…” The muscular boy wanted to retort, but he had to swallow his words considering his family’s circumstances. Qiao Jingxuan hailed from an influential family in town, sparing him from earning disagreements, and creating trouble for his parents.
Others were puzzled, “Xie Fei, have you lost your mind? Since when have you started sticking up for Jiang Nanfei?”
“Yeah! I remember you always hated Jiang Nanfei the most.”
Xie Fei clenched his fists, seemingly losing strength, he slouched back into his seat. It was true that he used to be irritable with Jiang Nanfei and thought her crush on Qiao Jingxuan was wishful thinking.
However, before the break, he incidentally discovered that Qiao Jingxuan was secretly exchanging letters with Jiang Nanfei. This infuriated Xie Fei, and he felt nothing but contempt for Qiao Jingxuan.
Despite expressing his despise for Jiang Nanfei publicly, he was privately exchanging letters with her. Wasn’t that simply leading her on? If he disliked her, why not refuse her candidly?
After learning this, Xie Fei sympathized with Jiang Nanfei.
The living room quickly filled with laughter, as young people were often forgetful.
Wu Shanshan nudged Huo Jinlan’s arm, teasing, “Jinlan, you should stop hanging out with Jiang Nanfei. Apart from her grades, what else does she have? Dreaming of transforming from a sparrow to a phoenix… who does she think she is, Cinderella?”
