The Master's Mask Unveiled Again

Chapter 34: Was She Convoluting?

Editor: Atlas Studios

A cold spring-like voice sounded at the back of the classroom.

It was filled with one-third coldness, one-third distance and one-quarter laziness.

The voice sent chills down many people’s spines in the hot September.

The students inside and outside the class were stunned.

Some people were just like that – they either did not talk, but once they did, no one could ignore them.

Xiao Qimo was like that and so was Lu Mian.

The class monitor could not even maintain the discipline, but Lu Mian, who had not gone for many lessons, calmed the class down with one sentence.

The boys in class felt that they had a reputation to uphold, so they signalled to the students outside and threatened them to leave, after they recovered from their senses. The students outside could only leave sadly and reluctantly.

After Lu Mian said those two words, she did not even bat her eye, as she continued to read her thick romance novel seriously.

The boys were very excited and the girls broke into hushed discussions.

“I heard Lu Mian went to find the twelfth grade Su Jue yesterday after school!”

“Ah? She’s so brave. Young Master Su is so capable, he wouldn’t like her, right? He’s only close to Lu Xinnuan, the school belle who was good in her studies.”

“Who knows?”

Among them, a pretty girl glared at Lu Mian fiercely, before turning her head away.

Lu Mian did not know any of this, nor did she care.

She looked up and saw the student sitting in front of her looking at her and smiling at her.

The chubby boy hurriedly introduced himself, “Hello, Lu Mian, I’m sitting in front of you. My name is Guo Zihao, you can call me Fatty Hao.”

While Lu Mian was slightly dazed, another skinny boy smiled at her, revealing his teeth.

“Hello, Lu Mian, I sit diagonally in front of you. I’m Yuan Hao. You can call me Skinny Hao.”

Fatty Hao, Skinny Hao… Um…

“Lu Mian, you can ask me for help if you have anything that you don’t understand in the future.”

“Yeah! I can lend you my homework and explain the problems to you.”

Lu Mian’s white fingers flipped through the pages, as she smiled childishly and sinisterly. “Okay.”

The pretty girl nearby heard it and slammed the table unhappily. “Stop talking. Class is starting.”

She was the class monitor, Bai Fangfei, and it was normal for her to maintain the discipline in class.

However, everyone heard the anger from her voice. What happened?

Guo Zihao hurriedly took out the textbook from Lu Mian’s table and placed it in front of her novel.

As for Yuan Hao, he tried his best to stack the books higher on her table.

The duo did a hand gesture, as if they said that she would not be easily discovered by the teachers in this way.

Lu Mian nodded.

The two people in front really had a good plan. Even though some teachers were quite upset with Lu Mian, she managed to make it through the lessons without much harm.

During the mass lecture…

Lu Mian was about to go to the washroom, but she was stopped by Ding Cai.

Inside the physics office…

It was not too quiet here, as Lu Xinnuan and Su Jue were reciting their script, while their form teacher, Sun Jiaying, watched on with a satisfied look, nodding her head from time to time.

“Xinnuan, don’t say this sentence ‘there’s only better and no best. If I can do it, you can do it and we all can do it’ so shyly. You need to be more passionate.”

Lu Xinnuan smiled obediently and tried to imitate her tone.

“There’s only better and no best. If I can do it, you can…”

While she was halfway through the sentence, the office door was pushed open.

She paused slightly.

A skinny, bespectacled man walked in with a frivolous Lu Mian wearing a loose uniform following behind him.

Lu Xinnuan laughed in a pretty good mood, as she raised her voice.

“In the past two years of high school, I’ve received many awards, but I’ve never stopped improving. I believe that there’s only better and no best. If I can do it, you can do it, and we all can do it!”

Her loud voice, as if she was reciting a poem, made Lu Mian look at her instinctively.

She was very confused.

Was Lu Xinnuan convoluting?
