Curtis heaved a sigh of relief, and the feeling of antic.i.p.ation intensified.

“Okay.”

The duo spent a quiet afternoon together. Only until the school gates were about to close did Bai Qingqing reluctantly part with Curtis. Lifting her heavy luggage, she stepped into the school campus, a place she hadn’t set foot in in a long while.

The school campus was very big, so big that she couldn’t quite remember her way around. But still, she somehow managed to make her way to the dormitory.

“Bai Qingqing!” Tang Li, who slept in the bunk under Bai Qingqing’s, greeted her with a smile when she saw her. “Why did you come so late today?”

“I strolled around outside before coming.” After sitting down on her bed, Bai Qingqing took out her red packet to retrieve the 100 yuan note inside and handed it to her.

“Here, the money I borrowed from you.”

Tang Li immediately reached out for it. But upon seeing that Bai Qingqing was using the reusable bag as her bag, and a red packet as her wallet which looked to have only tens of yuan inside, she kept her hand back.

“Surely this isn’t all you’ve got?” Tang Li said incredulously.

Bai Qingqing shrugged. “Go ahead and take it! I still have money in my card, enough for me to buy food.”

Speaking of the campus card, an idea suddenly struck her.

There should be a few hundred yuan worth of allowance inside her card. If Curtis ran out of money to buy food, she could withdraw some for emergency use.

Tang Li had wanted to refuse, when Bai Qingqing said, “You can lend me more when I run out of money. I will likely borrow from you again.”

Only then did Tang Li take the money. She reminded her, “Well, I can’t control myself. Once you return to me I may very well splurge it all away.”

Bai Qingqing smiled and nudged her waist. “Hurry up and let me copy your a.s.signment. I should be able to finish copying in time.”

“Goodness. I’ve never seen you not do your homework.” Though in disbelief, Tang Li readily took out her a.s.signment from her bag.

Flipping open the familiar homework book, Bai Qingqing was dumbfounded.

What the heck are all these? She could vaguely remember her homework book, but what the h.e.l.l were the contents inside?

Oh no! She had forgotten all of it!

Bai Qingqing revealed an overwhelmed-with-grief expression. Forget it. She would copy the homework first.

Ring ring ring—

The bell for night study sounded.

Although there was still night study on Sunday night, it was much more lax than usual, and the teachers basically left the students be. Also, there wasn’t a dress code to adhere to for the students, especially girls.

Sunday was the only day female students got to wear dresses in school. Many girls would doll themselves up and wear pretty dresses, and some even wore their hair down.

Bai Qingqing was on good terms with Tang Li in the past and, having not seen her for five years, felt even closer to her now. The two of them walked towards the cla.s.sroom with their arms hooked together. They had just reached the door when they ran into the most exquisitely dolled-up cla.s.s belle, or rather, school belle.

Just one month after entering senior high, her beauty had already gained her quite a reputation among the male seniors. However, her name was a bit shocking—w.a.n.g Cuiniu.

Due to w.a.n.g Cuiniu’s existence, other than her, no other beauties were worthy of mention. Everyone else paled in comparison to her.

She had a pet.i.te and dainty figure, an oval-shaped face, and bewitching eyes. Just like Bai Qingqing, she was also pure and bewitching.

But in her case, she had a bewitching face and a pure figure, making her extremely popular among adolescent boys. Whereas Bai Qingqing was the opposite. Hence, she left a starkly different impression in her cla.s.smates’ hearts.

All well-endowed girls knew that it was hard to find clothes that looked nice on them. This was especially true when wearing the prim-and-proper school uniforms. They say “clothes maketh the man”. In the modern age, girls relied 30% on the looks they were born with, and 70% on their dressing. Bai Qingqing’s figure already made it difficult enough for her to match clothing. And that was made worse by the fact that she didn’t like to doll herself up and even wore her younger brother’s clothes to school sometimes. As a result, in terms of appearance, she lost to w.a.n.g Cuiniu by more than just a bit.
