Chapter 27: Everyone Loves Xi Mubai

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Luo Zheng’s high-profile pursuit of Xi Mubai was a well known fact that had been spreading around.

However, no one cared about Luo Zheng because she had poor grades and often played truant. In fact, no one actually bothered to pay attention to her… After all, their purpose in high school was to work hard for the University Entrance Examinations and the teachers would all give up on those who were lazy and performed poorly!

Unless there was a miracle, lousy students would never be able to improve and make it to an elite university within just a few months time.

After discussing with each other for along while, they deduced that Luo Zheng must have realized that she was not worthy of Xi Mubai and hence admitted defeat!

Who was Xi Mubai?

He belonged to one of the four major families in Beijing and was talented, intelligent and handsome. He was a legendary figure who would definitely top the cohort.

Everyone loved Xi Mubai and he was the topic of discussion and gossip amongst girls.

Out of ten girls, nine admired Xi Mubai.

Xi Mubai was about to graduate from university soon but Luo Zheng was just about to get admitted. The two of them were worlds apart in terms of age and mindset!

“Luo Zheng, look at yourself! You either drop out of school or attend school properly! Focus on revision and don’t let your behavior affect your classmates!” the vice class president, Li Li hollered condescendingly. She was also the belle of the class.

Luo Zheng shot her a glance and ignored her because she could not quite remember who she was. She continued to lower her head and opened her textbook.

Li Li knew that Luo Zheng was ignoring her. She continued angrily, “Do you know that you’ve implicated Class 9 and made us seem like a joke because of your crazy pursuit of Senior Mubai who’s out of your league? Thanks to you, the girls from the other classes are saying that the girls in our class don’t study and only chase after men…”

There were a total of fifteen classes in the cohorts and all the students were assorted by their grades… Hence, class 9 was in the lower middle band of the cohort and had an awkward position!

“Since you have the time to chase after men, why don’t you spend more time and effort on your academics instead? All you do is drag us down… ”

In Luo Zheng’s eyes, Li Li was just a young girl who did not deserve her time.

Even if she was telling the truth, Luo Zheng was too lazy to retaliate… However, she was extremely frustrated and annoyed by her non-stop complaints!

Pak~

Luo Zheng closed her textbook and looked up at her. “Vice President, how well must I do in order not to implicate you guys?”

Upon hearing her words, Li Li stared at her in disdain and said, “There are 60 students in our class, you just have to be in the top 40… ”

“Alright, top 30 it shall be! I’ll definitely be in the top 30 for the tests and exams in the future. Are you happy now? If there’s nothing else, please leave. Don’t disturb me while I’m reading!”

Before Li Li could even finish speaking, Luo Zheng interjected.

The content covered in Year 12 was extremely difficult and one mistake would lead to many others.

In the past, she studied hard for the sake of being on par with Xi Mubai and struggled to make it to the top… Hence, being in the top 30 of Class 9 should be an easy feat!

She was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples in the peaceful lake.

Luo Zheng’s words seemed to be a far-fetched idea to the rest, even though she was telling the truth!

“Oh my god! Is there something wrong with Luo Zheng’s brains? She’s doing so poorly and yet, she’s still dreaming of being in the top 30!”

“What a pity! She’s definitely been agitated by Senior Mubai. Otherwise, why would she be daydreaming?”

“Exactly, the half-yearly examination is happening in a month. Doesn’t she know what she’s capable of!?!”

…

Greatly taken aback, Luo Zheng suddenly felt awkward, for she was reminded of the fact that she had been doing poorly in school. What place was I in?

Oh right, third last!

Not giving Luo Zheng the chance to go back on her word, Li Li said with a sinister smile, “Luo Zheng, do you know what you’re talking about? Do you really think you’ve been possessed by a prodigy? Do you think it’s that easy to do well in the exams!?! Why don’t you apologize to everyone? Once you do, we’ll take it that we didn’t hear what you said!”
