Chapter 24: Chapter 24
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Another morning, Jiang Moxi had class in the morning, so she arrived in the classroom early and laid her head on the desk to sleep.
Mu Wanting brought her favorite biscuits to school.
Jiang Moxi yawned as she unwrapped the biscuits and popped them into her mouth.
Seeing this, Mu Wanting couldn't help but wonder:
"Moxi, weren't you all energetic yesterday? How come you look like a salted fish today?"
Having known Jiang Moxi for over a year, it was the first time yesterday that Mu Wanting saw Jiang Moxi spirited during the day and even scribbling some gibberish.
"The night before last I slept for a few hours, but last night I didn't sleep at all."
The dead of night always kept Jiang Moxi awake until dawn.
As for why she managed to sleep the night before, it was all thanks to Fu Youhan.
In that case, being his bed partner seemed not too bad; at least it brought good sleep.
But reason told her not to belittle herself like that.
After finishing the biscuits, Jiang Moxi laid her head back on the desk to continue her nap.
At that moment, a thick stack of homework was heavily placed on Jiang Moxi's desk.
Jiang Moxi had no choice but to look up, and saw Lai Xueer standing aloft, her voice sharp:
"Jiang Moxi, hand in your homework."
Jiang Moxi rubbed her sore forehead, "When have you ever seen me turn in homework? Stop bothering me, I want to sleep!"
But Lai Xueer wouldn't give in: "Because you never turn in your homework, and I, as class president and a key member of the student council, should urge you to study properly."
Jiang Moxi treated her spirited words as if they were just wind passing by her ears.
In one ear and out the other.
She simply pushed away the stack of thick homework and laid her head down to continue sleeping.
Seeing this, other classmates praised Jiang Moxi's boldness.
Lai Xueer, her face flushing with anger, shouted, "Jiang Moxi, if you don't get up, I'll deduct points from your daily performance!"
Yes, ultimately Lai Xueer wanted to deduct Jiang Moxi's daily performance points to prevent her from graduating normally, as revenge for stealing Lin Xian's affections.
But Jiang Moxi stayed lying on the desk, not even lifting her head.
"Daily performance doesn't include homework. If you deduct my points, I'll report it to the student council, and let them see if someone who harbors personal grudges like you is fit to continue as a key member."
Lai Xueer was suddenly at a loss for words.
Because indeed, there were clear regulations within their student council members that anyone found to be engaging in personal vendettas would be kicked out.
Lai Xueer was so popular at the Technical College, and even caught the attention of the campus prince of First University, Lin Xian, from next door.
Not only because she was pretty, but also because every New Year's Day, the two universities would jointly host a gala.
And the people in charge of organizing the gala were student council members from both schools.
Last year, Lai Xueer met Lin Xian while preparing for the New Year's Gala.
That was an unexpected gain from her first-time participation in the gala organization.
This year, Lai Xueer was hoping to continue participating in the organization of the New Year's Gala through her role as a student council member, to expand her social network.
Because this year's joint New Year's Gala was rumored to invite all the leaders from Yan City, along with key figures from the business sector.
If she could leave a strong impression on these VIPs at the gala, it could help her ascend socially, impacting both her future career and marriage prospects.
Since she pinned all her hopes on this event, Lai Xueer dared not take risks.
If Jiang Moxi really took the matter to the student council, those female members who were already jealous of her beauty would take the opportunity to kick her out.
In that case, her grand plans would all come to nothing.
But to let Jiang Moxi off just like this, she was really unwilling.
In her view, she was just a step away from getting together with the wealthy second-generation Lin Xian, and Jiang Moxi had wholly messed it up, an unforgivable archenemy.
Just then, someone in the class shouted, "Ling Ye is here!"
Lai Xueer followed the gaze of the others in the class towards the classroom door, and saw Ling Ye carrying two large cups of milk tea, swaggering into their classroom with his buddies.
Then, Ling Ye walked up to her and handed her one of the cups.
"Xuexue, this is for you. Three-parts sugar, no ice, and I added your favorite coconut jelly."
Lai Xueer stared blankly at the tall, sunny, and handsome Ling Ye.
Actually, Ling Ye was also the secret crush of countless girls in the school.
Moreover, Ling Ye was even better looking than Lin Xian, especially since he would bring her gifts every day and confront those who bullied her, which also made her heart flutter.
Lai Xueer's eyes twinkled as she thought of something.
"Thank you." She took the milk tea, hanging her head dejectedly as if she had been wronged.
As she expected, Ling Ye immediately became anxious: "What's wrong? Who bullied you?"
"I kindly told Jiang Moxi to turn in her homework and urged her to study harder, but she went to the student council to report me..."
Lai Xueer's tactic of counter accusing was masterful, and she was secretly hoping Ling Ye would confront Jiang Moxi again.
Although Ling Ye and his brothers had indeed been beaten by Jiang Moxi alone, many still felt it was just Jiang Moxi's luck that helped her win against them.
Given another chance for Ling Ye and the others, it's not certain who would be knocked down!
Clearly, Lai Xueer and many others in the class thought this way.
So when Lai Xueer complained, many started worrying that Jiang Moxi was about to be beaten up.
Especially Mu Wanting, who quickly tugged at Jiang Moxi's sleeve.
"Moxi, not good. Ling Ye and his group might trouble you again!"
But Jiang Moxi was probably extremely tired. Despite Mu Wanting tugging at her for a while, she kept sleeping.
After listening to Lai Xueer's complaints, Ling Ye was already walking towards Jiang Moxi.
Not just Lai Xueer, but the classmates also thought Jiang Moxi's end was near.
Seeing Ling Ye approaching and Jiang Moxi indifferently continuing to sleep, Mu Wanting could only hastily block in front of Ling Ye.
"Ling Ye, if you hit her, it's campus violence. I will expose it online and have everyone cyberbully you..."
"It's none of your business." Ling Ye waved his hand, and Mu Wanting was pushed aside.
Mu Wanting, pushed to the side, was pondering over how much of a chance she had hitting Ling Ye's head with a stool.
But soon, she saw Ling Ye placing another cup of milk tea on Jiang Moxi's desk.
"Hey! Jiang Moxi, wake up!"
The milk tea was iced, so when the cup accidentally touched Jiang Moxi's arm, she immediately woke up.
"What do you want!"
Repeatedly disturbed from her sleep, Jiang Moxi was not in a good mood.
Everyone watching couldn't help but feel anxious for Jiang Moxi again.
Not only bullying others but also so arrogant; a beating seemed inevitable.
But to everyone's surprise, not only did Ling Ye refrain from swinging his fists at Jiang Moxi, he also said very politely:
"I brought you milk tea to help you refresh."
Now, everyone was a bit stunned.
Especially Lai Xueer.
She was expecting Ling Ye to help her teach Jiang Moxi a lesson.
Instead, Ling Ye was sycophantically bringing Jiang Moxi milk tea?
What was happening?
"How's your mom?" Jiang Moxi rubbed her temples, barely managing to deal with Ling Ye.
"She's been discharged. Thanks for the other day... If you ever need my help, or my brothers', just let us know."
The person Ling Ye cared about most was his mother.
He was frantic that day, and thankfully, Jiang Moxi helped.
So he was truly grateful to Jiang Moxi from the bottom of his heart, leading to today's actions.
But Jiang Moxi, fearing the commotion would make Lai Xueer hate her more, said, "Just make sure she doesn't bother me."
Following Jiang Moxi's gaze, Ling Ye looked and saw the confusion and annoyance on Lai Xueer's face.
"I understand."
After agreeing, Ling Ye then walked towards Lai Xueer…
