Chapter 10 A Weird Game (Part I)

Long Xi felt so very angry that she could not be coaxed.

At the same time, she felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Man Shahua was the well-known "second rich generation" in the class. It was said that her family had a dozen antique shops and auctions all over the country, and her daily pocket money was worth her grandmother's annual income. It was heard that Yan Wangchuan's mother worked as a salesclerk in her antique shop.

Man Shahua was like the star in the class, and many people were fawning on her. If she couldn't get along with Man Shahua, Long Xi was asking for trouble.

It was the so-called that "The poor on the roadside has no visitor, while the rich in the remote area has distant relatives." The society was so realistic, making people frightening! And because of this, many people would prefer to hide in the tower of ivory and never come out.

"Am I really going to swallow this grievance in silence? Well, gentlemen's, no, lady's revenge will not be late after ten years! A wise man, no, a beautiful woman does not fight when the odds are against her!"

In fact, what hurt her most was Yan Wangchuan's attitude.

She did not expect that he turned into such a person, and there was even a feeling of idol disillusionment in her heart.

What chilled Long Xi's heart was those classmates, many of whom pleased and flattered Man Shahua, the wealthy and influential person, and chuckled at her discomfiture, including her former roommate Hua Yanyan.

Fortunately, her good friends Wei Wei and Yu Lanjie did not disappoint her.

What surprised her the most was her enemy Fan Xiaolu, who was her deskmate. She did not expect that he would come forward and speak up for her.

Long Xi couldn't help sighing, "A friend in need is a friend indeed, and time reveals a person's heart. At the critical moment, you could see the character of the people around us."

Long Xi thought and went back glumly, preparing to go back to the girls' dormitory and complaining to Wei Wei and Yu Lanjie.

And then... she couldn't remember what happened afterward. What she just remembered was that when she woke up, she heard the calling of her friends.

Long Xi sighed.

Wei Wei opened the WeChat group chat, took a look and said with a smile, "Little Xi, stop sighing. Xiaolu said he would send red envelopes. And everybody's ready to grab it."

Long Xi opened the group chat and saw that Fan Xiaolu said in it, "Forget about Long Xi, it's boring! Today is the first placement examination of Chinese and physics. I send a red envelope to hope you all get good grades."

Long Xi immediately sent a message: Brother Lu is so cool! I was just frightened by someone's sinister heart! And I had a large psychological shadow! So give me a big red envelope to calm me down...

Wei Wei followed up with a gif of a starry-eyed girl and sent a voice message: Xiaolu is the best.

Long Xi smiled.

Of course she knew that Wei Wei always had a crush on Fan Xiaolu, which was an open secret in their dormitory.

Out of gratitude for Fan Xiaolu, Long Xi decided to support him. Then she sent a message: Brother Lu, except you, there are forty-one students in our class. It's better for everyone to have a share. The total amount can be up to 200 yuan.

Fan Xiaolu: Okay, the red envelope is certainly for everyone! But let me start with the rules of the game. Whoever grabs the least, tomorrow is the Chinese midterm mock exam, he should apologize to Long Xi in front of our head teacher and the whole class.

Jiang Ba: What, are you kidding me?

Bai Bing: I'm out of this.

Man Shahua: @Bai Bing, if you're afraid, don't grab it.

Jiang Ba: Man Shahua, what's wrong with you? Our Big Sister Bingbing is not Hua Yanyan, who you can insult at your option.

Bai Bing was the goddess in Jiang Ba's mind and also one of the campus belles. She was usually taciturn and expressionless. Like her name, she was as beautiful as peach and as cold as ice.

Jiang Ba pursued her for a long time, but she didn't give any response and was always neither friendly nor aloof with him. It was said that her family was also pretty rich.

Curiously, Jiang Ba always bullied others and was as wicked as possible, but he was only docile to Bai Bing and did not dare to go against her. Maybe that was the so-called "everything has its vanquisher"?

The students secretly called Jiang Ba "henpecked husband", and jokingly called Bai Bing "Snow Goddess". Of course, no one dared to say that in front of Jiang Ba.

Yan Wangchuan: Even if I grab the most, I certainly wouldn't do that. What did I do wrong? And why should I apologize?

Long Xi felt a dull pain in her heart when she saw the message of Yan Wangchuan.

In the past, every time he spoke in the group chat, Long Xi would read every message several times, chew it silently, and felt a sweet sadness in her heart. But now, she wanted to drink the love-forgetting water and forget that feeling!

Man Shahua: Exactly, our head teacher's anger, students' strange eyes, who can bear it? Jiang Ba, who doesn't know that you are the bully in our class? I just joked with Bingbing.

Jiang Ba: You get it!

Fan Xiaolu: Enough of this nonsense! Whoever doesn't finish the game would be punished.

Wei Wei: What punishment?

Fan Xiaolu: Haunted by female ghosts.

Jiang Ba: Wow, that's my favorite! Come and haunt me!

And then Fan Xiaolu sent out his red envelope.

Long Xi opened it, finding that the number of red envelopes was 41, and the total amount was 200 yuan. Xiaolu himself did not grab it.

She only grabbed four cents. Well, bad luck!

All the red envelopes were grabbed quickly. Surprisingly, Yan Wangchuan, who only grabbed less than one cent, was the one who grabbed the least, being unluckier than Long Xi.

Fan Xiaolu: Yan Wangchuan, you got the smallest amount of money. So in the later Chinese mock exam, you have to apologize to Long Xi in public.

Some boys began to heckle in the group chat.

Huang Quanlu: @Yan Wangchuan, let's admit defeat for bet!

Yan Wangchuan: No way, I just grabbed it at random. I don't take the money at most. Whoever is serious will lose! Fan Xiaolu always likes to play jokes.

And then they talked in the group chat for a while, and nobody took it seriously.

Long Xi shook her head and didn't take it seriously either.

She was really grateful to Fan Xiaolu, who successfully diverted people's attention from her, and nobody talked about Long Xi being teased anymore.

Yu Lanjie looked at the time and said, "It's almost seven o'clock. let's go to breakfast before it's too late for class."

After breakfast in the canteen, when Long Xi and Wei Wei entered the classroom with Yan Wangchuan, a group of students started to heckle them again.

Everyone knew what kind of person Yan Wangchuan was. He was usually cold to everyone, acting as a cold dream guy. With Man Shahua's support, it was impossible for him to apologize in public.

With the bell ringing, Long Xi came in with her back straight and her head high. She stubbornly pressed her lips and steadily looked forward, as if a dead pig were not afraid of boiling water.

Those male students dared not heckle her in front of her, even Jiang Ba did not try to provoke her.

Because everybody knew that although she looked delicate, she was a tough woman in her bones. She had an aura of heroine and was not fear anything. Besides, she was full of wisdom and leadership. Thus, nobody dared to provoke her face to face.

Moreover, they found that the birthmark on her face was gone. And she looked like a different person, clear and refined. Some of the boys were immediately charmed by her.

When the bell rang, the seat of Fan Xiaolu next to her was still empty, which was so strange! In her impression, although Fan Xiaolu was naughty, he was very punctual and never late!

Mrs. Lin, their head teacher, came in with the Chinese test papers. She already told the students yesterday that they would have a Chinese placement test.

She was a strict, scrupulous middle-aged woman, usually wearing a dark suit to give the classes.

She first called the roll and then said that Fan Xiaolu called her early this morning and asked for sick leave for a few days.

Long Xi felt a bit strange. Fan Xiaolu didn't show any signs of illness last night. Besides, he loved hip-hop dance, football, and tennis. In short, he had great athletic talent and loved all kinds of sports. He had always been in good health.

She planned to visit him in the male dormitory with Wei Wei after school.

She finished the test paper quickly. Although she didn't review last night, the test was easy for her, because of her good learning foundation.

After checking it out, she handed in the test paper.
