Zhou Jiami shot a glance at the girl who looked utterly unashamed and composed, snorted lightly, and walked off directly.
Bai Tang was still a fool!
Didn't she know the whole school was buzzing about this right now?
Saying that was practically dragging herself through the mud!
Bai Tang looked at the crowd's excited, gossipy expressions and spoke with a faint, knowing smile: "What's everyone chatting about so happily? Say it louder so I can join in the fun?"
The crowd fell silent instantly, staring at Bai Tang's eyes that held a smile yet carried a hint of chill, their hearts tightening inexplicably.
The girl was clearly smiling, yet a thick aura of danger radiated from her.
One of the girls spoke up bluntly: "Bai Tang, you really have no shame. You don't study, you fool around everywhere. People who know you think you're a student; those who don't might think you're in some other line of work!"
Bai Tang chuckled. "You sound like you know a lot. What, are you in that line too?"
"You—" The other girl clearly hadn't expected Bai Tang to respond like that, her face flushing bright red in anger as she trembled, "You're shameless!"
"And you're so 'shameful' that you just point fingers and curse at people?" Bai Tang curled her lips, her smile deepening. "Believing every rumor you hear—who started this gossip?"
Bai Tang's smile turned sinister. "People who know you think you're students; those who don't might think you're paparazzi. You love gossip so much, should I gift each of you a gossip mirror?"
The group that had been whispering among themselves instantly blushed, awkwardly averting their gazes.
Bai Tang's attitude was too composed, even a bit domineering and fierce, giving off a vibe that she wasn't someone to mess with.
They remembered how even the school bully, Zhang Xiaochu, had been tamed by this girl. If they really provoked Bai Tang, who knew how they'd end up being bullied.
In an instant, no one spoke up, and they all quietly took their seats.
The bell rang soon after, and the first class began.
Zhang Xiaochu sent a message: "You're not seriously thinking about going to college, are you?"
"Yeah."
"Which one?" Zhang Xiaochu asked.
"A University, probably."
Zhang Xiaochu: "..."
He sent a black question mark face directly.
"Sis, are you kidding me?"
"Do you know A University is a top national university?"
"Do you realize you're currently dead last in the whole school?"
"What the hell got into you?"
Bai Tang looked at the barrage of messages from Zhang Xiaochu and couldn't help but laugh. "I need to focus on class. No more chatting!"
Zhang Xiaochu: "You've really lost it!"
After school in the afternoon, Zhang Xiaochu blocked her way. "Come on, let me take you to eat, then to see a doctor to fix your brain!"
Bai Tang shook her head. "No, I'm going on a date with a beauty!"
Zhang Xiaochu: "...Are you cheating on me again?!"
"Your green hat should arrive tomorrow!" Bai Tang said calmly.
Zhang Xiaochu took a deep breath, grinding his teeth. "Are you really planning to ditch me?"
"What do you mean by that? Were we ever together?" Bai Tang said with a teasing smile. "Don't add drama to yourself!"
Zhang Xiaochu snorted arrogantly. "I don't care, I'm not letting you two be alone together!"
"Alone, a guy and a girl—who knows what might happen?"
Bai Tang raised a hand and patted Zhang Xiaochu's shoulder. "Relax, the beauty wouldn't have those thoughts!"
Zhang Xiaochu pouted. "I'm worried about you doing something you shouldn't to him!"
Bai Tang: "...Hah... Get lost!"
Just as she said that, a car pulled up right in front of them.
Seeing the person who got out of the car, Bai Tang's brow furrowed instantly.
Was it really this hard to just have a meal with a beauty?
No one could just let things be!
