CHAPTER 808: CHAPTER 812: THE UNDERACHIEVER’S RED PACKET GROUP (19)

This matter was thus brushed aside.

Yu Xiaohua went to class, and similarly, the other classmates were taken aback when they saw her.

Visibly, Yu Xiaohua’s appearance had improved significantly, but upon closer look, her features were still the same; she just inexplicably looked much prettier.

However, Xiao Xiao was only momentarily surprised, didn’t even ask why, and soon all the classmates shifted their focus back to their heavy and tense academic workload.

This left Yu Xiaohua, who had prepared an explanation to face the classmates’ queries or curiosity, feeling a bit relaxed yet somewhat disappointed.

Why was their attention not on the same wavelength as hers?

Thinking positively, this was for the best, but it was inevitable that Yu Xiaohua felt unresolved.

Su Li discovered that throughout the entire day, nine times out of ten, Yu Xiaohua’s gaze was fixed on her.

Whenever she looked over, Yu Xiaohua would hurriedly avert her eyes in a panic, giving off the vibe of "There are no three hundred taels of silver here."

Yu Xiaohua even thought she was doing a great job at concealing it, but in fact, Su Li had long noticed her intense gaze.

Such a pressing stare would be noticeable even to the most oblivious person, wouldn’t it?

However, Su Li continued to feign ignorance, playing along with her.

By the time Yu Xiaohua cast her gaze on Su Li for the one hundred and eighth time, Su Li stood up.

"Knock, knock, knock," her pale, slender fingers rhythmically tapped on the desk.

When Yu Xiaohua looked up, she saw the person she’d been shadowing right in front of her, causing a brief moment of panic, but she quickly composed herself and nonchalantly asked, "What’s up?"

Su Li said, "The roles are reversed."

Yu Xiaohua was confused for a moment and asked, "What do you mean?"

Su Li seriously explained, "That question should be mine to ask."

"Do you have something on your mind? Since waking up in the dorm this morning, you’ve been sneaking glances at me. Up until just now, you’ve peeked a total of ninety-three times, passed by pretending to be casual and glanced at me ten times, and openly stared at me five times. In total, one hundred and eight times."

"Your behavior will make me very troubled, leading me to mistakenly think you have some sort of secret intention towards me."

"Though such intentions are your own business, your actions have had an impact on me, so I’d like to ask if you could conceal your thoughts a bit better? At least don’t let me notice."

"Wow..." Even the bookworm, deeply immersed in the sea of books, couldn’t help but stop reading and solving problems at such explosive content, responding with a chorus of heckling.

Su Li spoke sternly, but her words carried a tone that inevitably led others to think at a tangent.

Yu Xiaohua’s face turned beet red, wanting to explain, but facing Su Li’s knowing look—"You don’t need to explain, I understand"—the more she said it wasn’t true, the more she seemed to dig herself a hole.

"No, don’t say nonsense... How could I possibly have..."

She really wanted to shout out, regardless of her image, "She’s straight and only likes men."

A mischievous boy laughed and shouted, "No wonder, she’s both the Academic God School Flower and a goddess, winning over both men and women."

The boy’s loud voice completely drowned out Yu Xiaohua’s fine one, making her so angry she wanted to spit blood.

In the end, Yu Xiaohua, losing all her rationality out of sheer anger, decided to throw everything to the wind and said resentfully to Su Li, "Stop pretending, you’re the Beauty in the group chat, aren’t you?"

Su Li tilted her head, her gaze fixed.

From this close distance, one could see her flawless skin, not even a hint of pores visible.

With no makeup on her face, her exquisite features displayed a look of confusion that was actually quite good-looking, both cute and charming.

Who knows how these two completely incompatible expressions could appear on the same face.

Suddenly, Yu Xiaohua had a moment of insight, feeling she somewhat understood why Su Li was so well-liked.

She really was too beautiful; even with a stern face, she still exuded the charm of a Little Fairy, someone one could fall in love with deeply.

Pfft... Yu Xiaohua quickly felt ashamed for having such emotions, feeling as though she surrendered without a fight.

This realization was quickly erased from her heart, replaced with a disgust towards Su Li.

The world is unfair; if Su Li didn’t have a good appearance and a good family background, how could she act so high and mighty in school? It was simply detestable.

To some extent, Yu Xiaohua’s psychology had already twisted to a profound degree.

Perhaps it was Su Li’s innocent demeanor, but just when Yu Xiaohua thought she was mistaken and Su Li would refuse to admit it, Su Li, tilting her head and acting all serious, suddenly laughed.

Like a blooming pear tree, her smile was brilliant yet... wicked.

Indeed, Su Li was still Su Li.

Wicked?

Yu Xiaohua thought she saw it wrong; she had never seen such an expression on the other’s face.

Her classmate and roommate for over two years, Yu Xiaohua always thought Su Li was just a beautiful and smart but haughty dumb beauty.

Who would’ve thought it possible to see such a wicked smile full of malice on her stunning face?

Yu Xiaohua shivered, goosebumps rising on her arms, and looked away, but apart from herself, it seemed no one else noticed anything off about Su Li.

This targeting gave her a bad premonition.

At this moment, Su Li leaned in closer to Yu Xiaohua and whispered, "Bingo, you got it right, but no reward; I am indeed the Beauty in the chat group."

After taking a few steps back, Su Li returned to her expressionless self, lightly saying, "Surprised? Unexpected? Aren’t you super happy?"

Damn your surprise, unexpected, happy...

Yu Xiaohua stepped back in shock, her face full of disbelief.

Though she had many guesses and even thought that Su Li might be the one.

But because of her own little concerns, she extremely disliked when such guesses turned true.

Yet now, she had no choice but to remain silent.

Yu Xiaohua, adopting a defensive posture, stared intently at Su Li and hoarsely asked, "What do you want to do?"

From an angle others couldn’t see, Su Li snorted and said, "What can you make me do?"

In a plain, ordinary tone, Yu Xiaohua could hear a deep satire.

She was being thoroughly disdainful.

Suddenly, courage arose from within Yu Xiaohua, and pride surged, "Don’t be too excessive, one day I’ll have you under my foot."

"Hmph..." Su Li rolled her eyes, unwilling to say more, her actions expressing her attitude.

Delusional...

The series of confrontations between the two seemed to go unnoticed or partly noticed by their surrounding classmates.

Soon, Su Li returned to her seat.

Yu Xiaohua gave Su Li a deep stare, then mustered all her energy and started fiddling with her phone.
