“So what are we doing now, Xiao Ling?” Lin Qiufeng’s face instantly turned into that of a naive, silly girl as she watched Xu Wenjing walk over.
She didn’t have to hold anything back in front of Bai Ling, she could say whatever she wanted.
“Emmm, let’s go eat first, then head back to the dorm?” Bai Ling really didn’t know what else to do.
She wasn’t the type to make decisions, so she kept things simple and didn’t have any particular demands.
“Hmm? Sure, we’ve been running around all afternoon, I’m tired.”
“So where should we eat?” Lin Qiufeng asked.
“I don’t know, you decide! I’m fine with anything.” Bai Ling’s face went back to that expressionless look.
In her own words, she just couldn’t be bothered to show any expression.
“Let’s go to the cafeteria then.
This time, I’ll treat you.” Lin Qiufeng still cared about the fact that she’d been treated to a meal before.
“Oh!” Bai Ling didn’t care.
If she wanted to treat, then let her.
She could do whatever she wanted! I get her, I tolerate her, it’s that simple.
“Let’s go then!” With that, Lin Qiufeng grabbed Bai Ling’s hand and the two of them disappeared down the academy’s path, heading to the cafeteria.
After a simple dinner, the two of them returned to the dorm.
Lin Qiufeng still wouldn’t give up, trying to tempt Bai Ling to shower with her.
Bai Ling didn’t really care about skin contact, but showering together? She’d rather not.
Lin Qiufeng failed again, but she wasn’t discouraged.
She decided that next time, she’d definitely drag Bai Ling into the shower with her.
The night passed without incident.
The next morning, Bai Ling was up early as usual.
Sleeping in wasn’t her thing.
She liked the peace of the morning, the scent of dew in the air, fresh and pure.
Every day, she liked to walk where there were lots of trees, because that made her feel more alive.
Today was no different, except she ran into a group she really didn’t want to see.
It was the same group from the other day, the ones who’d been drawn in by Bai Ling’s beauty, all wearing jade pendants with the character “Zhang” on them.
She saw them chasing someone, and that someone was her classmate Yang Li.
Bai Ling didn’t really remember him, but he recognized her right away.
After all, Bai Ling was so unique—her looks, her figure, and that freakish healing magic of hers had left a deep impression on Class 1A.
Bai Ling didn’t remember any of her classmates, except for Lin Qiufeng and that tagalong Qiao Shan.
As for the others, ha, who even were they.
The group chasing Yang Li noticed Bai Ling too.
The guy in front realized it was that stunning Bai Ling he’d met a few days ago! He stopped, and with his jade pendant swinging, greeted Bai Ling, completely ignoring the fact that he’d been chasing Yang Li for ages.
“Hey, Bai Ling, fancy running into you again.
Must be fate, don’t you think?” The guy surnamed Zhang put on what he thought was a gentle smile, hoping to win her over.
Bai Ling didn’t react.
She just wasn’t interested in this guy, not at all.
“It’s fine.” Bai Ling replied flatly.
“You’re Bai Ling, right?” Yang Li, seeing that they’d stopped chasing him, cautiously came over too.
He wanted to warn Bai Ling not to trust this guy, since she was his classmate, after all? “Yeah, that’s me.” “Hi, I’m Yang Li.
You probably don’t remember me, but I remember you.
We’re in the same class.
I suggest you don’t get too close to him.
He’s not trustworthy.” Yang Li said seriously.
“Why?” Bai Ling was confused.
“Because…” Yang Li didn’t get to finish before he was cut off.
He’d just interrupted the conversation between Bai Ling and the “goddess,” and that was already pushing it.
But now he was trying to badmouth him? No way he’d let that slide.
“Kid, say one more word and I’ll kill you, got it?” The guy surnamed Zhang said arrogantly, like some big shot who’d just been pissed off but couldn’t do anything about it.
With Bai Ling there, Zhang didn’t want to ruin his image in front of her, so he could only threaten Yang Li with words.
Yang Li shivered in fear.
He hesitated, but still managed to say to Bai Ling, “Be careful.
I’m leaving!” Then he took off running and disappeared in a flash.
Zhang didn’t bother chasing him.
In front of the goddess, that kind of thing didn’t matter.
Flirting was the real priority.
“Xiao Ling, you left in such a hurry yesterday, I didn’t get to introduce myself.
Let me do it now! I’m Zhang Wei, earth element magic, magic level B.
Nice to meet you.” Zhang Wei tried to get closer to Bai Ling.
Bai Ling didn’t react.
She hadn’t disliked him at first, but after what just happened, she realized he was fake.
When Yang Li said he couldn’t be trusted, Bai Ling hadn’t cared, but after what he just said, her dislike for him shot through the roof.
“Do you need something? If not, I’m leaving.” Bai Ling didn’t plan to waste any more time on him.
She didn’t want to say even one more word to this kind of person—it just made her feel sick.
She liked people who were straightforward, who said what they thought, even if it was a bit crude.
She didn’t mind that.
What she hated was people who were two-faced.
“Hey! Wait!” Seeing Bai Ling about to leave, Zhang Wei panicked.
He didn’t want to miss this chance to talk to her.
“What is it now?” Bai Ling showed a bit of impatience, her brows knitting slightly.
“Can we be friends?” When Zhang Wei saw the impatience on her face, he just blurted it out, hoping for a shot.
“If that’s your only reason, then I don’t think we can be friends.
Let’s not meet again.” Bai Ling was really fed up.
To interrupt her for something like this—she liked peace and quiet, and hated being interrupted, especially by strangers, and especially by annoying strangers.
“Come on! We keep running into each other in the forest, it must be fate.”
“You want to be friends with me?” Bai Ling asked.
“Yeah, yeah, yeah!!” Zhang Wei nodded hard.
“Alright then!” Bai Ling actually agreed? “R-really?” The surprise hit Zhang Wei so hard he didn’t know how to react.
Imagine, the goddess of your dreams says to your face, “Let’s be friends!” Could you handle that kind of happiness? “Really.”
“That’s great!” Zhang Wei was so excited he almost jumped up.
But Bai Ling’s next words sent him straight from heaven to hell.
“As long as you never show up in my sight again.”
“Uh…” Zhang Wei suddenly felt like the whole world had gone gray.
He stood there, completely petrified, not even noticing that Bai Ling had already walked away and disappeared from sight.
It wasn’t until one of Zhang Wei’s underlings cautiously came over and woke him from his dazed state.
