After getting upstairs, Yun Xi saw Yun Chuhan leaning against the wall.

Yun Xi didn't want to talk to her, so she pushed open the door of her room.

"Nice move, sister. Mom wasn't able to take advantage of you the slightest bit today."

Listening to Yun Yuanfeng reprimanding Liang Xiuqin downstairs, Yun Xi smiled slightly without intending to admit anything or say anything more.

"Yun Chuhan, let me give you some advice. Don't dig your own grave. You've learned some English, so go on and interpret this yourself."

Before Yun Chuhan could even open her mouth to answer, Yun Xi had already turned around, entered her bedroom, and slammed the door shut with a loud bang.

After entering her bedroom, Yun Xi discovered that her desk and the cupboard at her bedside had been moved.

Although she lived in the guest room, there was an old-fashioned desk made of high-quality wood.

The desk had a long cabinet adjoining it with two large drawers.

It had become a temporary storage place for her valuables.

She opened one of the drawers and took a look. She was very startled.

The drawer was full of...snacks!

It was filled with imported biscuits, lots of beef jerky, and many different kinds of nuts.

She turned her head abruptly and glanced at the window that was still open, then she rushed toward it.

Looking down, she could see no one.

However, she knew that the only person capable of climbing up through the window and coming all the way here to give her snacks was Mu Feichi.

He'd opened the window and climbed into her room as if it had been his own backyard. He really had no problems at all about invading her territory.

After opening a pack of imported biscuits which looked like they wouldn't stay fresh too long, Yun Xi started reading her textbooks, focusing on the key points in order to prepare for the quiz at school the next day.

The delicious biscuits eased her depressed mood and helped her studying all evening.

...

It was the first quiz at the beginning of the school year. By the time Yun Xi had arrived in the classroom, almost all the other students in the class had already gotten there. Upon seeing her, they all lowered their heads, for fear of getting jinxed by her evil spirit and failing the quiz that day.

Upon seeing their reactions, Yun Xi smirked a little.

She glanced at a desk that had been moved far back in an isolated corner and she tugged at the corners of her mouth. She then walked to her seat nonchalantly.

It was good to be isolated, because when the results came out, no matter how good her score was, no one could say that she had cheated.

After all the students had taken exams in all their subjects, the day had almost passed.

The exams were easier than she'd expected. Yun Xi looked at Liang Xinyi, who was looking all around in front of her, and she really wanted to burst out laughing.

Liang Xinyi had turned her head to look at Yun Xi more than once. Seeing that her head was lowered as she did her calculations, Liang Xinyi started feeling more and more on edge.

Since they were in the same class, if Yun Xi did better than she did in the exams, it would basically be another slap in the face for Liang Xiuqin.

Upon thinking about this, she couldn't help but crane her neck and start copying answers from her classmate who was sitting at the same table.

Sitting at the back, Yun Xi could see the movements of almost everyone in front of her.

In this era, various cheating methods had emerged one after another, but the most basic method was Liang Xinyi's method.

She knew that her desk mate might not have higher test scores than she did, and thus she could be shooting herself in the foot by copying answers from that person.

These exam questions were much more difficult than those of Muyang Town.

Even if Liang Xinyi could achieve second in the class in Muyang Town, here in Jingdu, she would be lucky not to get second-to-last place.

It would be a slap in the face for Liang Xiuqin if her so-called Lucky Star didn't score well.

After school ended, Yun Xi frowned slightly as she noticed that Liang Xinyi was waiting for her on the way home.

"If you have something to say, then spill it. I don't have time to waste with you here."

"You think I actually like waiting for you?" Liang Xinyi snorted coldly. No matter what, when she was in front of Yun Xi, she liked to pretend that she was better than her just to add to her self-confidence.

"I didn't tell you to wait."

Yun Xi found her haughty mannerisms insufferable. She was obviously a nobody, but she always wanted to gloat in front of her like some idiot.

"You stopped me!"

Liang Xinyi ran a few steps ahead and stopped in front of Yun Xi. "I want to know what happened at the auction yesterday."

That was a mystery that she couldn't fathom. She'd thought about it all night, but she hadn't been able to understand it no matter how she racked her brains!
