Tong Yan watched Xu Xinduo take the two boys back to their positions as the three gathered to look at Tong Yan’s papers, seemingly studying what he lacked.

How was this different from public exposure?

He sat in his seat and looked forward for a while before he began to grit his teeth.

Mu Qingyi is fine, but why is she so close with Shao Qinghe? Their sleeves are practically touching by now, aren’t they?

Shao Qinghe laughed again! Damn, this guy laughs all day; is he the reincarnation of the Laughing Buddha? The raised corners of his mouth are semi-permanent tattoos, right?

He suddenly felt that Su Wei’s laugh, that could enable one to see his tonsils, seemed much more pleasing.

On the other hand, Mu Qingyao was sitting in her seat as she took notice of them.

Mu Qingyao also knew about the divorce of mother Mu. During the divorce, mother Mu once asked her if she wanted to go with her.

Mu Qingyao felt that her mother was nothing without her father and guessed that she still had to rely on him to live. So if father Mu no longer paid for her living expenses, she could only wait for her impending death. Hence, she declined the offer as she thought that it would be better for her to stay with her father.

Mother Mu never contacted her again after that; she didn’t even tell her where she lived after the divorce was completed. Mu Qingyao guessed that she probably gave up on this daughter of hers.

But she couldn’t care less, because all she wanted was to live a stable life. Mu Qingyao didn’t want to experience any sort of hardships as she felt like it was horrible to even think about it.

After school started however, she found that the relationship between Xu Xinduo and Mu Qingyi was gradually improving.

Today was a good example of the change. Even the relationship between Tong Yan and Mu Qingyi seemed to be a lot better. Previously, the two of them would always be at each other’s throats as they truly despised the other.

She remembered that Mu Qingyi also didn’t approve of Xu Xinduo and Tong Yan being together either as he felt that the two of them wouldn’t have a future together.

But after seeing Tong Yan transferring his class and Yin Hua’s change in attitude, Mu Qingyi never brought it up again.

Now that the relationship between her brother and Xu Xinduo was getting better, the relationship between the former siblings were growing farther apart. Because of that, Mu Qingyao’s heart gradually became very uneasy.

They grew up together, but years of living with each other couldn’t best actual blood relationships, could it?

The change in their relationship was the biggest form of mockery against her; she heard it being discussed by her classmates several times more than she liked.

The visual impact of Xu Xinduo and Mu Qingyi sitting together was too strong. Plus, she was also in this class, so many of her classmates thought that this trio of siblings were rather amusing to watch.

She’s also been having a lot of trouble lately.

There were already a lot of issues that broke out in the forum before. Then, Li Xinning was spewing nonsensical words about her. Hence, paired with the incident last time, Mu Qingyao’s image and namesake was truly tarnished.

She was more than eager to remain silent each day, hoping that everyone would just ignore her existence.

She always felt that whenever someone was looking at her, their gazes would always be full of mockery— which annoyed her even more.

At this time, someone suddenly spoke to Mu Qingyao, “Mu Qingyao, Li Xinning is coming back to the Advanced Class. This time, she passed the exams with a rank of 46th out of the entire school. It’s only been a month since she left our class…”

“Mm, that’s good,” Mu Qingyao replied with a smile.

“She will sit with Tong Yan when she comes back; Gu Jue will be in front of her.”

“Is that so?”
