"I can go myself," Gu Zhiqi said immediately after hearing Teacher Mo’s words.
"I should go instead, it’s just right, I also need to go to the academic affairs office to process some class transfer procedures for you."
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhiqi realized she didn’t actually know where to get her books, so she said thanks to Teacher Mo, "Thank you, teacher."
Teacher Mo wasn’t sure if it was his imagination, but he thought he saw a hint of obedience in her.
"You’re welcome. Alright, sit down for now. You can borrow from..." Thinking of Qiao Qingshu’s temperament, Teacher Mo quickly corrected himself, "You can borrow books from the student in front of you and start reading."
"Oh," Gu Zhiqi responded softly.
"Keep the class in order, class president," Teacher Mo said, leaving in a hurry after that.
As soon as Teacher Mo left, Gu Zhiqi took her seat.
She didn’t borrow books from her deskmate or the student in front of her as Teacher Mo said, but propped her chin with one hand and looked lazily at the students who were busy with their own things.
"Zhizhi, that Miss at your desk has stolen glances at you several times~" In her mind, Chubby Chiu suddenly spoke up to Gu Zhiqi.
Hearing this, Gu Zhiqi slightly turned her head to look at her new deskmate.
Their eyes met squarely.
Caught by Gu Zhiqi’s excessively beautiful gaze, Qiao Qingshu froze for a moment.
Gu Zhiqi nodded at her new deskmate as a greeting, but saw that her deskmate didn’t acknowledge her and quickly turned her head away.
"This new deskmate seems a bit strange," Chubby Chiu commented.
Seeing that her deskmate wasn’t very sociable, Gu Zhiqi didn’t take it to heart.
She withdrew her gaze and continued to sit there propping her chin, daydreaming.
Teacher Mo didn’t return for quite some time, so Gu Zhiqi took out her phone from her pocket and started repairing Fu Xiyan’s mental method using the office software on her phone.
It wasn’t until just before morning self-study was about to end that Teacher Mo returned to class eight with a stack of books.
After handing the books to Gu Zhiqi, Teacher Mo left in a rush, and at that moment, the bell for the end of morning self-study rang.
With the ringing of the bell, the office became noisy.
The student in front of Gu Zhiqi was the first to turn around and look at her curiously, asking, "Gu Zhiqi, weren’t you in class one? Why did you suddenly transfer to our class?"
The voice of the student in front wasn’t quiet; as she spoke, the classroom suddenly fell silent for a moment, and many eyes turned in Gu Zhiqi’s direction.
While flipping through the book in her hand, Gu Zhiqi replied lazily, "Just felt like coming."
Her tone seemed a bit dismissive.
The girl picked up on the dismissive tone and felt slightly embarrassed. After a few seconds of silence, a trace of malice flashed in her eyes, and she continued to smile at Gu Zhiqi, asking, "Why didn’t you come to school last week, though? I heard you were sent to the countryside by the Gu Family to stay with your biological father; why didn’t you go to a rural school?"
Sensing the girl’s malice, Gu Zhiqi lazily raised her eyelids and gave the girl a glance, "Are we close?"
The girl was taken aback and after a moment of silence, she started stutteringly, "I... I was just curious, why are you reacting so strongly?"
Gu Zhiqi, upon hearing this, didn’t bother with her any further.
"Gu Zhiqi, weren’t you from class one? What are you doing in our class? What, weren’t the boys in class one enough for you to flirt with?" Someone suddenly said aloud in the classroom.
The voice was loud; the entire class could hear.
Everyone turned in the direction of the voice.
