The incident of coming home late was lightly glossed over.
Only Zhang Ying was still shaken and continued to escort Yue Qingqing to and from school for the next several days.
The next day at school, Yue Qingqing saw Jun Feifei looking listless.
"I’ve got some good news and some bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"
Jun Feifei didn’t dare speak, just raised one finger to indicate she wanted to hear the good news.
Alas, what use was even good news now, when she was about to burst.
Yue Qingqing lowered her voice and said, "Last night I found the person who cursed you, and the Curse Technique has been lifted."
Jun Feifei’s eyes immediately widened, and she hesitantly spoke.
Yue Qingqing nodded, "You try to talk a bit more."
Jun Feifei, like a toddler learning to speak, carefully opened her mouth.
"I curse you to eat dry noodles without the seasoning pack!"
Yue Qingqing: "..." That’s indeed a somewhat vicious curse.
Wei Rong just happened to pass by, heard one side of the conversation, and thought Yue Qingqing wanted dry noodles.
She immediately took out a pack from her desk, "I have some here."
Her mom ran a restaurant and her aunt owned a convenience store, so she was always well-fed, her chubby cheeks particularly endearing.
"Thank you, Rongrong." Yue Qingqing leisurely opened the dry noodles.
Jun Feifei anxiously watched Yue Qingqing’s actions, wishing she had Clairvoyant Eye to see whether there really was a seasoning pack inside.
Wei Rong looked at Jun Feifei curiously, "Don’t you usually not eat these? I have more if you want."
Jun Feifei waved her hand, holding her breath.
Then, Yue Qingqing, with a bit of a wicked smile, deliberately slowed her movements.
"Is there... or isn’t there?"
Jun Feifei was on the verge of tears, Qingqing, who have you been learning mischief from?
Luckily, Yue Qingqing didn’t hang her suspense for too long.
"Ding, ding, ding..." she added her own sound effects as she pulled out the seasoning pack.
Jun Feifei cheered, almost crying with excitement.
Wei Rong looked puzzled, but the next second she also began to cheer.
"Lin Chong! It’s Panther Head Lin Chong, I’ve been missing this card!"
She pointed at the card that came out with the noodles and kissed it several times.
Recently, to promote sales, each pack of dry noodles included a character card from Water Margin, totaling 108 cards.
No one in the grade had collected all of them; often, some cards were in excess while some rare ones were non-existent.
Wei Rong was a passionate card collector.
Eager to collect them all, she ate two or three packs a day, had three or four cards of Song Jiang, and was only missing one Lin Chong.
No one in the grade had it.
Who would have thought that Yue Qingqing just on a whim opened one and completed the set!
What sort of luck was that?
Wei Rong was overjoyed, and Qu Ruorui, arriving late as usual, didn’t know what was going on but couldn’t help smiling along.
Jun Feifei suddenly realized something, "Wait, isn’t there some bad news too?"
She started shivering again.
Yue Qingqing said cheerfully, "The bad news is that in two months, it’s the exams for middle school entry. You need to work hard, or you’ll be separated from your childhood crush brother."
"Aaaaah..." Jun Feifei clutched her hair, suddenly wishing the world would end.
As per tradition, the best school in the city was Zhuancheng No. 1 Middle School.
They only admitted students with top grades unless one paid a high price for school fees.
Jun Feifei hung her head like a wilted plant, her chin knocking against the desk.
Alas, while her family would probably pay for her to get into the No. 1 Middle School, it felt embarrassing just thinking about it.
Yue Qingqing rubbed her head, "Study hard, there’s still hope!"
