Meng Ying was startled by Huo Yao’s sudden actions. She hurriedly chased after her and asked her breathlessly. “Sister Big Shot, where are you going?”
Huo Yao replied in a calm voice without stopping or turning back. “Going to find somewhere else to sleep.”
Meng Ying’s temples started to throb.
In her opinion, Huo Yao certainly did not seem like she was going somewhere else to sleep. A murderous aura radiated from Huo Yao. She was clearly going to kill someone.
Meng Ying disregarded her flippant words and decided to follow Huo Yao.
Before long, Huo Yao arrived at the Rocket Class with Meng Ying trailing behind her.
There were very few students in the Rocket Class at the moment. Lu Xia and Chang Yingying had also just gotten back to class. The two of them were sitting at their desks, chatting and playing with their phones. They seemed to be in a good mood.
Huo Yao stood at the entrance and glanced at the class before spotting Lu Xia in the third row. She entered the room expressionlessly and walked right up to her.
In a neutral tone, she said, “Do you have nothing better to do?”
Lu Xia had not noticed them appear in the class. She raised her head when she heard Huo Yao’s frosty voice from overhead. Although she was clearly stunned, she quickly composed herself. “What do you mean?”
Huo Yao looked at her coldly and said in an impatient manner, “Stop acting like a dumbass. First, you sent me the notes, and then you smeared me online in the school forum. Can’t you do something smarter?”
Meng Ying was standing at the door when she heard Huo Yao swearing and could not help laughing. “PFFFT…”
It felt as though she had just witnessed the cool and restrained Huo Yao’s image suddenly disintegrate.
Lu Xia became furious. She stood up and replied equally coldly. “You better watch your words. What notes? What smear campaign online? I don’t know what you’re saying!”
Huo Yao scoffed. “Do you really not know, or are you just acting dumb?”
Lu Xia furrowed her brows.
Chang Yingying had not expected that Huo Yao would come to their class. She was clearly here because of the online post.
The moment she thought about the post on the school forum, a sense of guilt swept across her eyes because she was the one who did it without telling Lu Xia.
But Chang Yingying thought about the things that Lu Xia had told her previously and swiftly regained confidence. She stood up and looked at Huo Yao in disdain.
In a smug voice, she said, “You cheated during the National Quiz Contest, and now it’s all over the school forum. How can you have the cheek to blame Xiaxia for it?”
Lu Xia suddenly turned around to look at Chang Yingying the moment she finished her sentence. “What post?”
Chang Yingying coughed and took out her phone to log into the school forum. She showed Lu Xia the latest post which now had over 1000 comments on it.
Lu Xia swiped through the page. The more she looked at it, the more her heart sank.
Chang Yingying was such an idiot.
Although Lu Xia did not want Huo Yao to steal the limelight, she had no intention of publicizing the matter of the National Quiz Contest notes. After all, she obtained them through someone working for the Education Association, so she stood to gain nothing by drawing attention to this matter.
Lu Xia inhaled deeply and put the phone down. Then she looked at Huo Yao calmly. “I didn’t post it. Moreover, if you didn’t do anything wrong, you have nothing to fear. There’s no point complaining to me about it.”
Huo Yao smiled. She suddenly leaned against Lu Xia’s desk nonchalantly. With a fake smile on her face, she said, “It doesn’t matter who posted it. From the moment it appeared online, you were destined to have to pay for your foolishness.”
Lu Xia frowned. An ominous feeling swiftly rose in her heart.
Huo Yao sounded so arrogant as if everything was well within her control.
