Chapter 9: Clashing with the male lead.
Shen Waqing made up her mind to maneuver around them but she was quickly obstructed.
Looking up the handsome face was right in front of her.
So it isn't a coincident. He was coming for me.
But Yuwei shouldn't have much interaction with the Chen Siyuan at this time of the book so what does he want?
Before she could open her mouth, he shoved the pile of things he was holding into her hand. Saying irritatingly.
"Pei Yuwei, I already told you to stop leaving all this stuffs on my desk."
Shen Waqing felt a mix of confusion tinged with annoyance.
"What do you mean?"
"Don't try to pretend. I am not interested and don't want anything to do with you so keep your gifts to yourself I better not receive them." He stare down at her saying coldly.
"But this aren't mine. I didn't put anything on your table." Shen Waqing quickly tried to explain the misunderstanding. They were already drawing a commotion.
"Really? I don't care. Just stay out of my way Pei Yuwei." Chen Siyuan obviously didn't believe her. His narrowed eyes with a hint of warning before striding off.
The second male lead gave her a disgusted look, bumping into her shoulder as he walked pass.
Shen Wanqing stumbled with the load in her arm, catching herself from falling the last second.
"So embarrassing!"
"I know right. How many times has she been rejected already? She still won't give up."
"What gave her the illusion that Chen Siyuan will even look her way? "
Different voices reached her ear and they didn't even bother lowering their voice as if they didn't care if she heard.
Her fingers digged into the box she was holding.
"Yuwei!" A call came from behind and it was easy to recognize Lin Xinyu's voice. "What are you looking at." The girl glared at the crowd fiercely and they quickly disperse.
"Didn't you say you would come meet us at the canteen?" She noticed the random gifts she was holding and frowned. "Huh...did someone give them to you?"
Shen Waqing took a while to response. Her voice heavy and a bit sour. "No."
"What? Was someone trying to bully you?" Her voice was raised slightly but Shen Waqing shook her head.
"It's nothing." She didn't really want to explain.
After all it was Yuwei's problem. But right now I am Yuwei.
Her mood was conflicted.
Lin Xinyu tried to press on but Xu Mingjie beside her face her a subtle look.
She swallowed her words. While reluctant she changed the topic. "Then what are you going to do about those?" She gestured at the gifts.
Shen Waqing brows dipped, a complicated expression on her face.
She didn't want to toss them away after all they looked like they cost a lot of money.
Brought up in an orphanage, Shen Waqing lived her life through donation and while others were adopted she was unlucky. At sixteen she moved out on her own and worked different odd jobs to
So she hated wasting things.
She couldn't also accept it. It wasn't hers. She would never touch something that didn't belong to her.
"Let's give it to teacher Wang." Xu Mingjie was the one who spoke up in the end.
Shen Waqing nodded in agreement. Feeling that it was a good idea.
So the group walked to old Wang's office who was surprised upon seeing them.
His eyes landed on the gifts Shen Waqing was carrying and doubts appeared in his heart.
Have his kids finally come to appreciate him? It couldn't be that they put money together and decided to use it to buy him something nice.
Truly his hardwork has not been in vain.
His thoughts was running a 100km per hour until Lin Xinyu shattered all his delusions.
"Teacher Wang. See someone lost their stuffs. It will be better for you to announce for them to come pick it up."
The smile on his face froze and he coughed awkwardly. "Right. Just put it at the side of the table."
"Thank you teacher Wang." Shen Waqing said softly. Her arms feel numb now they were empty.
"We will go now. Thanks for your help." Lin Xinyu said dragging the two out of the staff office. "Let's go change. P.E class is next."
Since it was Friday Shen Waqing waited for Pei Ruxue after class so the two could go home together.
She still had to figure out how to finish her first task.
As an overachiever she felt her speed was too slow.
At this rate rate when will I finish all the tasks. Not to talk of there was more missions waking for her. Shen Waqing suddenly felt a rare moment of panic.
I won't end up failing and losing my soul, will I?
