The classroom became silent.
Everyone looked at Xu Jingran with excitement and confusion in their eyes.
Every time before, the scholarship was hers.
This time it was not. Did that mean the F5 had decided to abandon her?
By the ranking, she should have received the scholarship.
But a new scholarship student got it instead.
That meant someone in power had interfered.
Xu Jingran slowly lowered her eyes. Even the small red mole near her eye seemed dull.
Xu Laina wanted to mock her, but when she saw her sad expression, the words would not come out.
“It’s only 30,000. That’s not even enough for me to buy a bag. How about this—bring me meals for two days, and I’ll give you 30,000.”
Xu Laina thought this would be humiliating.
She wanted Xu Jingran to be her follower.
She was not helping her. She wanted to shame her.
Xu Jingran’s dull eyes suddenly became bright. Her red lips opened slightly, and her voice was sweet.
“Really? I’m willing to do it.”
Xu Laina’s face slowly turned red. The two of them had never gotten along before.
Now Xu Jingran did not seem so annoying.
Anyway, she would be abandoned by those people sooner or later.
Xu Laina knew those people were very cruel, even Xiao Siming, who was supposed to marry her.
None of them were good people.
That was why she disliked the pure and kind Xu Jingran even more.
“You’re crazy. I’m humiliating you, and you’re happy.”
Xu Laina snorted and transferred the money.
When she saw the small dimples in Xu Jingran’s smile, her hand felt itchy. She wanted to poke her face.
She had to admit Xu Jingran was beautiful. Her skin was pale and smooth, her lips were red and sweet-looking.
Her eyes were big and charming, with a hint of innocent attraction.
The small red mole near her eye was bright and tempting, making people want to bite or kiss it.
She wondered if Xu Jingran would shrink back if touched.
Xu Laina was shocked by her own thoughts and grabbed her dyed wavy blonde hair.
She decided she would humiliate Xu Jingran even more next time.
She could not let Xu Jingran feel proud.
After receiving the money,
Xu Jingran only thought: if this is humiliation, please humiliate me more.
The scholarship students cheered and congratulated Liu Ruan, as if defeating Xu Jingran meant defeating the rich students.
“It looks like she will be abandoned soon. People must rely on themselves.”
“Liu Ruan, be careful. Those people might target you.”
“Never date them.”
Liu Ruan smiled, feeling the academy was not as scary as the rumors said.
“I will never date them, and I will never fall for them.”
“I knew you were different from Xu Jingran!”
They gathered together, enjoying their sense of victory.
At that moment the teacher knocked on the blackboard. “Xu Jingran, come out for a moment.”
Xu Jingran slowly followed the teacher outside.
She was sure the F5 had interfered with the scholarship.
But who did it?
Was the female lead’s influence really that strong?
Did Lu Ran want to break up, so this was a warning?
The teacher looked at her with pity and spoke seriously.
“Xu Jingran, take half a day off and go to the student council, room 205.”
Xu Jingran guessed the person in that room was the one responsible.
“Is there something important?” she asked.
“You’ll know when you get there,” the teacher said, not daring to explain.
Xu Jingran looked at the magnificent castle-like building and noticed the cameras at the entrance.
She stepped inside carefully, feeling a little nervous.
Inside Room 206, Jiang Si and Jiang Lijin watched the “little rabbit” on the security camera and slowly smiled.
Xu Jingran knocked on Room 205. There was no sound inside.
When she pushed the door open, a bucket of water suddenly poured down.
She was completely soaked.
Xu Jingran screamed and fell to the floor.
Jiang Si quickly stood up. He saw her sitting on the ground, her clothes wet through.
Her white shirt had become see-through, and her underwear was light cream in color, clearly visible.
Her smooth, pale thighs and calves were covered with drops of water. Jiang Si felt his throat go dry.
Xu Jingran’s body trembled slightly. She looked up, water drops falling from her eyelashes, looking pitiful.
“Are you okay?”
Jiang Si leaned against the wall with a warm, friendly smile. He looked bright and handsome.
His long fingers reached out to her. “Sorry. It must be that someone from the student council has a problem with you. I will punish them.”
He wanted to play the good guy.
Xu Jingran placed her soft, pale fingers in his hand and gave a small, obedient sound.
What are you pretending for?
You put the water there, didn’t you?
She sneered in her heart but looked weak on the outside.
Her wet hand touched his palm. Jiang Si pulled her up gently.
Water ran down from her soaked skirt and left wet marks on her legs.
“You’re completely wet. There is a lounge next door. You can change your clothes there.”
Jiang Si looked over her body and then stopped at her slightly red face.
Xu Jingran spoke softly, “I didn’t bring any spare clothes…”
“There are some in the room,” Jiang Si interrupted. He did not let go of her hand. Their wet fingers stayed together as he led her to Room 207.
[Wait, something feels wrong.]
[Lu Ran is already involved, and now Jiang Si too? She just went into the room like that…]
[Was this planned by Jiang Si? It’s too much of a coincidence. Xu Jingran is kind of pitiful, getting soaked like that.]
[Don’t pity the supporting girl. Our female lead hasn’t appeared yet.]
[Am I the only one noticing Jiang Si’s long fingers? Clear knuckles, wearing a ring…]
[He even has a twin brother, right? Two pairs of such perfect hands.]
[Imagine both pairs of hands on one person… how scary (and enjoyable).]
[Stop… what is Jiang Si going to do after bringing her inside?]
The door opened.
It was a luxurious lounge. A huge floor-to-ceiling window was covered by black velvet curtains. A crystal chandelier shone brightly. One whole wall was a wardrobe.
Jiang Si let go of her hand and opened the wardrobe. It was full of women’s clothes.
Xu Jingran was surprised.
Do rich people really play like this?
Jiang Si touched his nose. Most of the clothes were her size. Some were even prepared by Lu Ran.
“These…”
Xu Jingran did not touch anything.
“Wear this,” Jiang Si said.
He picked a JK uniform. It had the same color as the school uniform, but it was tighter and shorter.
His long fingers paused, then he also took a light yellow lace underwear set and handed it to her.
“I’ll wait for you.”
His eyes fell on her again, his gaze almost tangible.
He slowly looked over her wet hair, the faint outline under her thin shirt, and her soaked skirt clinging to her legs.
Xu Jingran felt her skin grow warm. She held the clothes and did not move.
The room became silent. She shifted her feet uneasily.
Finally, she reached out and took the clothes from his hand.
Jiang Si smiled slightly and turned around.
There was no changing room in this lounge.
Xu Jingran quickly took off her wet uniform. The room was warm, but when her skin touched the air, she could not help trembling.
