Chapter 81 – Disaster-Bringer (灾星)
Jing Yunzhao’s homework was written neatly, so much so that it looked as if it had been printed out. There were no errors from beginning to end.
Gan Jinchen was dumbfounded. His grades were ranked pretty high up in the entire school, but he couldn’t even begin to understand the questions in Jing Yunzhao’s homework.
On the other hand, they had not even arrived at the school’s entrance and Jing Yunzhao had already found three mistakes in his homework. He was bewildered and even tried to explain himself as his face and ears burned red.
He had always believed that Jing Yunzhao’s rank as the school’s number one was an unearned reputation. Since only half a semester had passed during the first year of high school, they had only competed in the basics. When the teachers had praised Jing Yunzhao in private before, he felt a little contemptuous. But from last night till today, her grades did not allow anyone a chance to deny anything!Sensing Gan Jinchen’s distress, Jing Yunzhao smirked. However, she did not have any intention of showing off.
She had never been a genius when it came to her studies. In her past life, she had tried to gain the approval of her “parents” and studied every day until late at night. The number of hours she used to sleep could be easily counted on one hand. Plus, none of her classmates wanted to bother with her, so she had a lot of spare time which she used on her studies. Under these circumstances, getting number one was as expected.
It was same in this life too. She did not have the time to relax even after her rebirth.
Jing Yunzhao’s figure was tall and slim. Gan Jinchen was also one of the school’s top ten princes. He looked clean and cheerful and had a shy smile. With Su Chu, this loli with them, the three of them caught a lot of attention.
When they arrived where they had to part ways, Gan Jinchen couldn’t hold it anymore and asked, “Jing Yunzhao, I looked down on you before. I apologize for that. But I want to ask about what others said about you… They said that you have a lot of boyfriends outside. Is it true?”
The reason why he didn’t have a good impression of Jing Yunzhao was because of this rumor. Su Chu’s personality was naive and innocent. What if she gets involved with Jing Yunzhao and those other crazy people out there? He was scared that Jing Yunzhao would negatively influence his Biaomei, Su Chu.
Jing Yunzhao frowned, an expression of cold indifference flashed through her face, “Is that relevant?”She always thought that others talking badly of her was rather insignificant. Sometimes, she would even forget that the rotten person they were talking about was herself.
“How is it not relevant?” Gan Jinchen’s expression became serious instantly. “I have nothing against you, but if those rumors are true, then I wish you would be careful when interacting with Su Chu. Don’t influence her. But if it turns out that the rumors are false, you should explain it to everyone. What good is there letting your reputation be ruined like this…”
“So what if they’re false? It’s not like I’ve never cleared them before. Did it ever change anything?” Jing Yunzhao casually responded and then walked away.
After clearing old rumors, new ones would appear. Even if Qiao Hongye was not pulling any strings from behind the scenes, as long as Jing Yunzhao got involved in something troublesome, rumors would start. This was something she had grown used to.
For example, after the school had helped her resolve the delinquent incident, her classmates’ attitude towards her changed a lot. Unfortunately, once Lu Jia’s Biaoge’s incident was exposed, everyone avoided her like the plague again. Also, there was the incident with Yang Tiantian that had happened only a few days ago. Even though she was not in the wrong, people kept tying the incident to her.
Recently, there have been people calling her a disaster-bringer behind her back. She was not unaware of that.
Jing Yunzhao walking away made disappointment flash through Gan Jinchen’s heart, but he also believed that he didn’t say anything wrong. He pursed his lips and headed towards his own classroom.
“Jie (older sister)! You came to school with Gan Jinchen?”
Before Jing Yunzhao could even walk through the door, her arm was pulled. She turned around and saw that sensible and kind face of Qiao Hongye.
