Chapter 130 : I’ve Already Finished Learning
Volume 4: High School Arc - “I” Come to Find You~
However, seeing the serious look in her eyes, I instinctively felt a little guilty and avoided her gaze.
“Hmm?!”
But maybe because I looked away, Bai Juanjuan became even more convinced that I was brushing her off, and she leaned her whole face in closer.
“Nonsense, you clearly avoided my eyes.”
“Hahahaha~ No... I didn’t.”
“Hmph! Yunyan, why are you always like this!”
“Uh... well...”
“I’m ignoring you!”
Fuming, Bai Juanjuan turned her head and completely turned away from me, making me feel a headache coming on. This girl... her personality was just like a little kid’s, always going “Hmph! I’m not playing with you anymore.”
“Yo, you’re here so early today? Feeling better?”
Just as I was wondering how to coax this girl, a familiar... slightly annoying voice came from my right.
Turning my head, unsurprisingly, Lu Haochen came into view.
“You’re not exactly late either? I’m feeling much better, thanks for asking.”
As I spoke, I glanced at his feet. Although his shadow still mostly looked like him, a small part of it had already started to be corroded.
Sure enough, using his shadow came at a price.
“No need to thank me.”
Lu Haochen smiled and sat down.
I hesitated a little, then reached into my backpack and pulled out my textbook and notebook.
Casually, I also took out a sticky note, wrote “Need to talk after school tonight,” and looked up to make sure no one was watching before tossing it to Lu Haochen.
Lu Haochen had trained in martial arts and still retained some natural reflexes.
Even though he didn’t clearly see what it was, he instinctively reached out and caught the note in his hand.
He then turned his head, glanced at his clenched hand, and looked at me with a puzzled expression.
I quickly wrote “Read it” on another sticky note and held it up at an angle so he could see.
He nodded, then quietly opened the note in his hand.
After reading it, he immediately tossed it into his bag and gave me a subtle nod.
After sending the message, I was just about to prepare for today’s lesson when I suddenly saw Lu Haochen’s neck, which was about to turn back, freeze for a moment.
Then he abruptly turned back to look at me and signaled with his eyes.
He was giving me a signal—but why was he pointing toward the front of me?
I froze instinctively, then looked up at Bai Juanjuan in confusion.
And what I saw... was a makeup mirror on Bai Juanjuan’s desk!
Her large eyes were staring directly into the mirror, watching my reflection.
In those eyes... burned with the fire of gossip!
Seeing those sparkling eyes, I suddenly thought of an anime character.
Then, just as I expected, she turned her head dramatically and suddenly stood up from her desk, slapping both hands onto my desk with a loud “bang.”
Her big eyes moved right up close, staring at me intensely.
‘I’m so curious!’
“Yunyan-jie!!”
Hmm... just to clarify, the four characters above were what came to my mind, while the two characters below came from the girl in front of me.
Crap... she saw the note-passing process!
Looking at her shining big eyes, I couldn’t help but hold my forehead helplessly.
This was exactly what I was trying to avoid, which was why I passed a note!
“...Um, Juanjuan, calm down first.”
“I... I... I can’t calm down right now!”
Can’t calm down?
I was puzzled for a second, then saw her clutching her chest, breathing rapidly.
I immediately became anxious and said:
“Medicine!”
==============
In the end, the morning turned into a chaotic mess, and then the girl was sent to the infirmary on the first floor.
Perhaps because her episode was quite sudden this time, the female teacher at the infirmary had no choice but to let her lie down there for the entire morning to stabilize her.
So now, the seat in front of me was empty.
Teacher Xue Li was also deeply anxious, since any accident involving a student at this school was something she simply couldn’t afford to handle.
So she bustled around anxiously, and as a result—
Half of the first period passed, yet the class still hadn’t properly started.
Not until…
Most of the first period had passed did Teacher Xue Li return to the classroom, then hurriedly taught a bit of the lesson before the bell rang.
Usually, I would chat with Bai Juanjuan during breaks, but today, since she couldn’t attend class in the morning, I could roughly guess how she had spent her days while I was away.
During the break, no one came to talk to me... Over the past few days of my absence, most of the girls in the class had been pulled over to that chubby girl’s side.
That girl named Yuan Cai—just hearing her name made her sound like a background character.
Although this girl seemed to come from a relatively ordinary family—at least compared to the overall standards of this school—her skill in winning people over was quite decent.
At the very least, most of the girls in the class had already gotten fairly close to her.
And conversely, under such circumstances, Bai Juanjuan was naturally excluded.
Seeing this, I couldn’t help but frown.
To be honest, if she were only targeting me, I wouldn’t really mind.
After all, my mother was one of the school’s board members now.
Even if she wanted to target me, she wouldn’t dare to go too far.
But Bai Juanjuan... seeing such an innocent girl being ostracized—this really wasn’t something I wanted to see.
It seemed I needed to report this to the teacher.
If I used purely personal methods, I could definitely teach that girl a lesson.
But she... wasn’t even worth the effort.
Just as I was thinking about this, a figure appeared in front of me at some point, blocking my view.
“Student Yunyan?”
“Ah... Teacher Xue? Why aren’t you taking a break?”
I thought the next class was English.
Why was she here?
Teacher Xue Li naturally sat down in Bai Juanjuan’s seat, then reached into her teaching bag and pulled out a notebook.
“You’ve been resting these past few days, so I was worried you might fall behind. These are the key points and progress summaries I prepared for you. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask a classmate—or me directly.”
Key points and progress?
Oh...
Looking at the notebook the teacher handed over, I smiled.
“Thank you for your kindness, Teacher, but don’t worry. I didn’t slack off on these subjects—they weren’t hard to begin with, so I’ve already self-studied all of them. If you don’t believe me, you can quiz me.”
A clear look of surprise appeared in Teacher Xue’s eyes.
She then frowned slightly, opened the textbook, and really did use the ten-minute break to quiz me on a few questions.
As for those questions, I answered them smoothly and effortlessly, which surprised Teacher Xue Li a bit.
“I didn’t expect you actually self-studied. I heard from your father that you were quite ill these days and hadn’t hired a tutor. I was worried you might fall behind. Now I’m relieved. By the way, how far have you studied on your own? I’d like to know.”
How far had I studied on my own?
Could I say I had already finished all of the high school’s curriculum?
If I said that, I’d probably be labeled a freak.
