CH 42

Chapter 042 - He Shichen only wished the world would implode right now. (4)

Qiu Qingkong, who was just about to step out of the classroom, saw the person walking in their direction and was taken aback. “Eh? Qi Yan?”

“Hi. Can you please tell me where the grandmaster sits?”

“Oh? Teacher?” Qiu Qingkong pointed and said, “Over there.”

Chu Qianli was packing up at the time. When she looked up, she saw a delicate and attractive girl with bright and lively eyes whom she had never met before standing in front of her desk. Chu Qianli looked baffled and at loss. The long-haired girl had outstanding aura. Her brows long and curvy and her eyes distinguished and pretty.

Qi Yan smiled at her and said, “I’ve come since you have invited me.”

Chu Qianli, “?”

Facing the female student whom she had never met, Chu Qianli had no idea when she had invited her over.

He Shichen, who saw Qi Yan walking into his classroom, looked equally baffled. He had no idea what was going on.

Tan Muxing looked over at Chu Qianli and chimed in to break the silence. He asked curiously, “When did you invite Qi Yan over?”

Both He Shichen and Qi Yan were well-known students on their grades and were frequently mentioned in various commendations, sometimes even posted on the notice board. Naturally, she was no stranger to him.

Chu Qianli was taken aback a little. Qi Yan was the original female lead of the novel but she had never invited her over.

Staring at her blankly, she asked, troubled, “……Did I invite you in a dream?”

“Well, you are less serious than I had imagined.” Qi Yan chuckled. She didn’t think Chu Qianli would be so straightforward. She then asked, “What kind of girls do you like?”

Confused, Chu Qianli said, “I, I like any kind of girls?”

What kind of a strange question was that? She was very baffled right now.

Qi Yan frowned a little. Pondering some, she said, “Anyone else saying something like that would appear sleazy. But if coming from you, it wasn’t too bad……”

Qi Yan wanted to tie herself with Chu Qianli. Considering Chu Qianli’s ability, she would need to overlook her flaws. If the grandmaster had no weaknesses at all, then she would not be able to win her over at all.

Chu Qianli, “? ? ?” And what exactly did that mean?

Tan Muxing, who had been listening in the conversation the entire time, carefully interjected. “Pardon me. Allow me to interrupt quickly here. There might be some misunderstanding here. She’s actually a girl.”

Even though Chu Qianli had short hair and was in male’s school uniform, but her voice and features were definitely feminine.

He had no idea how Qi Yan could have mistaken Chu Qianli for a boy and started flirting with her suddenly.

Qi Yan was taken aback a little when she heard Tan Muxing’s words. Looking at Chu Qianli, an incredulous look flashed through her eyes.

Chu Qianli looked back at Qi Yan, also looking somewhat stupefied.

A few seconds later, Qi Yan pulled out her glass case from her bag and put them on. She studied Chu Qianli again and realized that what Tan Muxing said was true.

As her impression of Chu Qianli was a “genius adolescence boy with expertise in divination”, she did not think to confirm the gender ahead of time. Mainly they were not in the same class so it was difficult to find out.

Qi Yan pushed her glasses up a little and said slowly, “I’m sorry. I wanted to leave a good first impression so I didn’t have my glasses on when I came over. I didn’t have my contact lens with me today.”

With her glasses on, Qi Yan looked more scholarly and her invasiveness feel was also mellowed out some.

Still in a trance, Chu Qianli said, “It’s alright……”

No wonder she felt that something was off before and that they were having communication issues. It was all but a big misunderstanding.

Qi Yan smiled and said, “But at this day and age, I think that gender is not particularly important.”

Chu Qianli, Tan Muxing, “?”

He Shichen, “! ! ?”

Both Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing were stupefied.

He Shichen came unglued completely. Looking at the absurd scene in front of him, he only wished that the world would implode right now.
