Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman (1-200)

Chapter 57: Appearance

That boy’s seat was right in front of her, and Gu Xiqiao finally reacted that this was the thief that she had caught back at the mall!

Yao Jiamu walked over to his seat holding his sandals in hand, and he seemed to be quite relaxed given that he was originally from Third City High anyway. As his eyes flitted around, they centered on the girl that sat behind him, and it seemed as if his world snapped into focus.

He stopped in place with his eyes wide in shock!

Gu Xiqiao looked up at him, her eyes glinting with warmth as she gestured encouragingly before looking back down towards the desk and preparing herself to take the exams.

The Chinese paper started at nine o’clock, and she wasn’t all that pressured by it as she took up her fountain pen and started writing down on the paper swiftly and steadily.

The three examiners were patrolling the exam hall, and whenever they passed by her they would slow down their steps to look at her handwriting. If they were the ones that were in charge of marking their papers, they would have probably been hesitant about deducting her marks purely based on her handwriting.

The theme of the essay this time around was ‘Home is where the heart is’, and Gu Xiqiao looked at these words again and again before closing her eyes in thought and raising her pen.

The Chinese paper wasn’t all that hard, and most of the students could do as well as they usually did, and after the bell rang she took her pencil case and walked out the door.

As she reached the stairway, she raised her hand and intercepted Yao Jiamu’s hand.

“What in the- Do you have eyes on the back of your head?”

He was used to fighting after all, and while he wasn’t unparalleled, he had already been famous in the streets for being able to fight multiple people at once ever since he was young. Now, she could block his hand with a single pencil case?

“Huh, your pencil case is really sturdy!” Yao Jiamu reached over and pinched the pencil case that was as hard as steel at that moment and had impacted his arm so hard that it went numb…That was really strange.

Gu Xiqiao side-eyed him and retracted her pencil case calmly. “If you have anything to say just say it, don’t get all handsy with me.”

Yao Jiamu saw that she was about to leave, so he quickly followed behind her. “You’re taking your finals here too? And you’re even sitting behind me!”

“Duh!”

Yao Jiamu didn’t really mind that she acted so coldly towards him, and was instead thankful towards her. He had looked at the phone number that she gave him many times but didn’t call, making a promise to himself to not call that number until he had the achievements to show for it.

Who knew that this coincidence would happen…

“What’s your name? Which school are you from? You’re definitely not from Third City High!” The students in Third City High were mostly a bunch of students that were there to spend their days and not study properly, and Yao Jiamu was certain that Gu Xiqiao wasn’t that sort of student from a single glance. Besides, most of the students in Third City High knew him as the little king of the school that was handsome and good at fighting, and he even had his gaggle of fangirls…

Gu Xiqiao didn’t stop walking, but she replied, “Gu Xiqiao, First City High.”

His eyes brightened slightly upon finding a common topic with her. “First City High…You must know my friend Luo Wenlang then!”

“Yeah.” This statement attracted a bit of her attention, and she turned around to look at this boy that had been chattering nonstop.

As they talked, they arrived at the school gates, and Gu Xiqiao found the familiar car parked across the road immediately and her expression lit up. “Alright I have to go now, goodbye.”
