Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Looking at He Guinian’s stunned and incredulous face, Qin Zhen secretly laughed to herself, “Good night, Mr. He.” With that, she ran away.
He Guinian raised his hand and rubbed his cheeks. His heart was also beating violently against his ribcage.
Zhenzhen…
She kissed him. She kissed him on his lips.
He Guinian was a little regretful. He was too stunned to move. This was the first time Zhenzhen had kissed his lips.
Meanwhile, Qin Zhen happily entered her home. Qin Youting happened to be on his way to get some water when he saw her skipping in, “Where did you go?” He asked.
“I was on a date!” Qin Zhen smiled.
Qin Youting looked confused.
It seemed… Someone was spoiling his sister.
…
Qin Zhen returned to her room to take a shower and turned on her computer. Her fingers flew across the keyboard, and the computer screen instantly turned black. A notification flashed on the top right corner of the monitor.
It was a video call invitation from someone.
Qin Zhen agreed.
“You’re finally online! The people who have been looking for you recently have annoyed me to death! What do you have to say for yourself?” A woman said resentfully. She wearing a cheongsam and was visibly lighting a cigarette near her charming face.
Qin Zhen wiped her hair and casually answered, “I just finished my exams and don’t have time. Tell them to wait a little longer.”
“That’s what I told them. I said that you wanted to take the college entrance examination, but they said that I was a liar! He actually doubted the Dark Night’s credibility.” The woman looked at Qin Zhen’s tender face on the screen and said enviously, “But it’s not their fault. After all, who would have thought that the famous Grim Reaper was actually a high school girl? I’m so lucky to have met you just like that.”
“Sister Luyao, don’t tease me.” Qin Zhen smiled.
Luyao put down her cigarette and said with a serious expression, “Seriously, why don’t you take a job to brush up on your skill? I’ve looked at a few of them. They’re all good in all aspects.”
“Not interested. I’m too busy right now.” Qin Zhen waved her hand.
“We’re not taking orders anymore, and we’ve stopped making incense too. What are you busy with anyway? Don’t say it’s the college entrance exam. You can fool others, but you can’t fool me.” Luyao said.
Qin Zhen leaned against the back of her chair and said casually, “I’m busy dating and coaxing my boyfriend. He gets anxious when he leaves me for a minute.”
“…” Luyao didn’t know what to say to that.
Qin Zhen was suddenly reminded of what Wu Ze had said at the restaurant. “Is there someone named Wu Ze among the people who ask for me?”
“The third young master of the Wu family?” Luyao asked.
Wu Ze’s background was not considered “average”, she knew this in her previous life. But the only the public know about him was his job as a jewelry maker.
“He did make a request. Why? You know him?” Luyao continued.
Qin Zhen dried her hair and smiled evilly, “Answer him, 1 billion. If he pays, I’ll help him.”
“Did he offend you?” Luyao immediately understood. Usually, hiring Qin Zhen would only cost 200 million yuan, but she asked to up the price for this particular client.
“You could say that,” Qin Zhen said with raised eyebrows.
-Monday-
Qin Zhen came to class with her bag. As soon as she stepped in, the noisy class instantly quieted down.
Everyone looked at her with complicated expressions.
The trash in their eyes had suddenly become the first in the grade. It was like a dream!
Du Juan looked at Qin Zhen with eyes full of jealousy and hatred.
Qin Zhen sat down calmly as if she did not see anything around her.
The first class was English and Baihe walked in expressionlessly. The older woman glanced at Qin Zhen before looking away, “Let’s talk about the papers from the last exam first. Everyone, take out your papers… The single-choice questions were all free points. You all could answer those quickly and not waste any time. If you don’t read, don’t speak. If you don’t understand, look it up yourself! There’s nothing to say…”
The people of Class 28 flipped through the papers numbly. It was the same every time. Even Du Juan couldn’t help but frown. Many of the questions on the exam were beyond the course outline. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have scored so low. There were many grammar questions that she didn’t understand. Baihe told them that this was basic knowledge but never explained any of this to them…
A few students couldn’t help but say, “I really don’t understand the grammar questions.”
As if on cue, Baihe’s expression turned even uglier. She immediately explained, but she spoke very quickly and briefly for anybody to understand. She asked the student if he understood.
The student, eyes wide and lost, could only nod blankly.
Baihe closed the paper, “Now, please re-explained it to me again,”
The student stuttered, but couldn’t answer her. Then, Baihe pointed at a few more students, but nobody could explain.
Baihe immediately cursed, “Were you listening to me in class?! We’ve been through this topic over and over, haven’t we? Is your brain made of glue? You all will have to rewrite this paper a hundred times until something stick in your brain. Now, go stand outside!”
