nWhen Xia Xibei returned to the classroom, the class had begun. She reported her presence before entering.

n

n

nOnce she took her seat, Tang Luo looked over at her with a frown.

n

n

n“Are you alright? I heard that you were blocked by Song Jiaren at the washroom?”

n

n

nHe heard about the matter just a while ago and was prepared to go out when Xia Xibei returned.

n

n

n“I’m fine, it was just a misunderstanding.” Xia Xibei shook her head. “Song Jiaren is quite a nice person.”

n

n

nTang Luo’s lips twitched. How did she even come to the conclusion that Song Jiaren was quite a nice person?

n

n

n“It’s great that you’re fine, let’s focus on the lesson.”

n

n

nXia Xibei nodded and then hung her head low to read. Moments later, she turned around all of a sudden.

n

n

nJin Yazhen gasped so loud that it drew the teacher’s attention.

n

n

n“Jin Yazhen, what are you doing?” The teacher was wearing an awful look on her face.

n

n

nShe was in the midst of teaching intently when she got interrupted. Who wouldn’t get mad at that?

n

n

n“Not-nothing!” Jin Yazhen smiled stiffly.

n

n

nWhen Xia Xibei returned, she couldn’t identify anything wrong with her, rousing her suspicion.

n

n

nWith Song Jiaren’s character, how could Xia Xibei get out of it totally unscathed?

n

n

nShe had been staring at Xia Xibei when she turned around the next instant. She was jolted for a second, thus the exaggerated reaction.

n

n

n“Really?” The teacher snorted with a glum face. “Answer this question then.”

n

n

nJin Yazhen’s face grew even stiffer as she read the question on the blackboard.

n

n

nAll of her thoughts were focused on Xia Xibei today. How would she even know what the teacher was talking about?

n

n

nShe stood on her spot, stammering for a long time but to no avail. The teacher had no choice but to let her sit down.

n

n

n“Even though you guys are only in sophomore year, you’re going to be in senior year the next semester. It’s time you focus on your studies!”

n

n

nAlthough her words weren’t exactly harsh, Jin Yazhen got so embarrassed that her face and ears turned red.

n

n

nThe looks that people gave her made her even more uneasy.

n

n

nAnd all Xia Xibei did was flash her a creepy smile.

n

n

nJin Yazhen was frightened by Xia Xibei’s strange smile, but she managed to hold herself back from screaming.

n

n

nWhat was the matter with Xia Xibei? Why was she so different today?

n

n

nThe class finally ended. Jin Yazhen approached Xia Xibei again.

n

n

n“Xibei…”

n

n

n“Have you decided to pay me back?”

n

n

nXia Xibei spoke before she could even say a word.

n

n

nThe look on Jin Yazhen’s face turned even more awful when she heard those words.

n

n

n“It wasn’t me who borrowed the money!” She panicked.

n

n

n“Although you didn’t, the two of you spent it together anyway, right?” Xia Xibei stared at her with a poker face.

n

n

n“I…”

n

n

nJin Yazhen’s heart raced. How did Xia Xibei know that?

n

n

n“Xibei, you have misunderstood…”

n

n

n“Do you have the guts to take a vow then? If you really did spend the money, you will be struck by lightning and die a painful death!”

n

n

nJin Yazhen froze.

n

n

n“Jin Yazhen, don’t fool Xia Xibei as though she’s a three-year-old, will you?”

n

n

nTang Luo couldn’t hold it back any longer, he teased, “You can’t be a b*tch while trying to maintain a good reputation! As a person, you must live by conscience! Xia Xibei has been good to you all along.”

n

n

nOthers joined the fuss. “Right! You can’t be that shameless!”

n

n

n“I did not!” Jin Yazhen got more nervous, but she couldn’t find a way to explain herself in the heat of the moment.

n

n

nShe was usually eloquent, but in the face of Xia Xibei, who had turned into a whole new person, she was helpless.

n

n

n“Fine. If you’re not going to pay me back, don’t talk to me anymore; I’m busy!”

n

n

nXia Xibei turned around and left right after she finished speaking.

n

n

nShe had to go look for herbs!

n

n

nThe treatment for Song Jiaren would begin tonight, and she was a big client!

n

n

nOnce she was out of the school compound, Xia Xibei got on a bus. Very soon, she arrived at a herb store.
