Over two hundred people in the classroom, and together they couldn't produce the sound of a single person, yet their inner emotions were all incredibly rich in that moment.
It was plain to see that after today, there would be another post about Ji Qiuge on the school forum.
Fu Yunjing's face darkened as he said with disgust, "You idiot. Get out!"
Ji Qiuge had already completed her task and received the Word-Alteration Card, so she immediately took the opportunity to back down gracefully, grabbed her bag, and walked out.
Fu Yunjing's aura grew even heavier.
That idiot from the Ji family!
If it weren't for the recent collaboration being with the Ji family, he would have just packed Ji Qiuge up and thrown her out the window to her death.
Ji Qiuge was in a very good mood.
After all, the task had gone smoothly, and it had even allowed her to figure out a few little tricks for completing tasks.
"System, do you only issue these tasks one at a time? Can't you send out more at once?"
Completing one only earned a single Word-Alteration Card—at this rate, when would she ever finish altering everything?
Plot scenarios didn't happen all the time, so she could take advantage of the moments when she had control over herself to complete tasks, building up leverage for herself for when the plot arrived.
[That's possible. I can issue ten tasks to the Host at once, automatically replenishing after every half is completed. However, the Host must guarantee completing at least five of them within three days.]
The System had no objections to this.
"…Fine!"
Dying of embarrassment five times was still dying of embarrassment—she had already died twice in just twenty-four hours, so what was a little more?
A full panel of ten tasks immediately popped up in front of her. After roughly scanning through them, Ji Qiuge twitched the corner of her mouth and closed the panel.
"Let me first take a look at the upcoming plot."
The tasks weren't exactly urgent anyway.
[Class was over, and Fu Yunjing strode out of the classroom in a bad mood.
Su Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, then, while everyone in the class was still discussing Ji Qiuge, stood up and chased after him.
She called out to Fu Yunjing.
"Professor, please wait a moment!"
Fu Yunjing turned back with some surprise to look at the young girl who had chased after him. In all these years, no one had ever dared to stop him.]
Seeing this, Ji Qiuge: "…"
Really? I don't believe that.
["Something?" Fu Yunjing asked indifferently.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the man before her and felt a little afraid. She didn't know who this man was, but she could clearly sense that he was very powerful—all the classmates in the class were afraid of him.
She wanted to try whether she could seize this opportunity.
If she could receive guidance from this person before her, perhaps she could make those people dare not look down on her anymore!
So, she took a deep breath and said, "If I have questions, may I come to you for guidance, Professor? You must have heard about my situation as well!"
Her eyes reddened, and although she trembled with fear, she still kept her gaze fixed on Fu Yunjing.
"I want to learn. I want to grow stronger. I don't want to be looked down upon!"
The young girl spoke her resolute words with a ringing voice. A gentle breeze blew through her hair, revealing her smooth, clean forehead.
Fu Yunjing suddenly recalled those doe-like eyes he had seen that night, overlapping with the eyes beneath the black-rimmed glasses in front of him now.
He suddenly smiled faintly and said, "Alright."]
Ji Qiuge fell into thought, then used the Word-Alteration Card.
[Are you sure you want to alter this word?] The System was quite conflicted, feeling that this was too…
Ji Qiuge gave a casual "Mm-hm" and had already made the alteration.
"Change this one. Trust me, just wait and see!"
【……】
Then, she heard the school bell ring.
Ji Qiuge's eyes darted around, and she quickly hid herself.
When the female lead ran out to talk to the male lead, she rapidly sent a message to the Soul-Bullet Sisters.
"Su Xiaoxiao is talking to Fu Yunjing."
One message, and the Soul-Bullet Sisters jumped up in shock.
"What? Su Xiaoxiao is talking to Fu Yunjing?"
The classmates who had been discussing Ji Qiuge's bold move just moments ago froze, then all turned their gossip-hungry gazes toward the door.
Chen Yunmei couldn't wait any longer and stood up to walk out. The others exchanged glances and followed suit.
Sure, Fu Yunjing was truly terrifying, but gossip was also something everyone desperately wanted to know.
Ji Qiuge was one thing, but what guts did that newcomer Su Xiaoxiao have to go talk to Fu Yunjing?
The group pretended to wander out in twos and threes.
The moment they left the classroom, they spotted Fu Yunjing and Su Xiaoxiao standing at the far end of the hallway.
Everyone immediately fell silent, not daring to speak, but they crept closer and pricked up their ears to listen carefully.
Su Xiaoxiao had already finished delivering her lines, and now stood in the sunlight, a gentle breeze lifting the strands of hair across her forehead.
And sure enough, the gossiping crowd witnessed Fu Yunjing slowly reveal a faint, shallow smile.
While they were still stunned by the fact that Fu Yunjing had actually smiled, they heard him slowly speak.
"Mom."
A low, slightly hoarse "Mom" slipped out from between his lips.
After he said it, he froze.
Su Xiaoxiao froze too.
The gossiping crowd froze as well.
Only Ji Qiuge, who had long since hidden herself in the restroom reading the script, burst out laughing without restraint.
"Hahaha! What a shame, what a shame I don't have the guts to go over there and record this!"
Ji Qiuge was practically dying of laughter reading the Plot description. She suppressed her laughter and continued reading.
[After Fu Yunjing called out that "Mom," everyone was dumbstruck.
Fu Yunjing quickly realized he had misspoken, and his expression twisted for a split second—how could he have made such a low-level mistake?
Su Xiaoxiao was at a loss, staring blankly at Fu Yunjing.
Fu Yunjing said with difficulty, "I meant to say 'hi.'"
After he spoke, another suffocating silence fell over the scene.
Fu Yunjing suddenly shot a sharp glare at the students in the distance.
Everyone felt a murderous aura rushing toward them, and all instinctively lowered their heads and stepped back.
Fu Yunjing suppressed the anger rising in his chest and turned to leave. It was all that idiot Ji Qiuge's fault! He'd find an opportunity to teach the Ji family a lesson!]
Ji Qiuge: 【……】
Her smile vanished.
Damn it. As expected of the male lead—he could still pin this on her, even though it technically was indeed her doing.
Just wait!
Ji Qiuge quickly pulled up the Task Panel.
[Please, in an outdoor windy setting with no fewer than 500 people present, deliver the following line with full conviction: "The wind today is quite boisterous, isn't it!" Task completion reward: one Word-Alteration Card!]
Ji Qiuge decided to do this one first—it looked like the easiest.
There was one particularly difficult task that Ji Qiuge couldn't bring herself to accept even after two rounds of utter mortification.
That task went like this.
[Please, in a setting with no fewer than 500 people present, perform according to the video and deliver the following line with full conviction: "General Yu Jin shall go through fire and water for the Cao family for generations to come!"]
Just glancing at it made Ji Qiuge's scalp tingle.
Of course, the reward for this task was also quite substantial—it allowed her to alter one sentence.
The problem was… this was even more terrifying than making her publicly become the Honey Fairy!!
Let's hold off on that for now. Let's just hold off.
