Stop Chatting; It Will Affect Your Studies

The place became quiet for a few seconds.

Lu Chao was all tense and felt a shudder down his spine. Swallowing hard, he dared not look at Xiang Huai's sharp eyes and quickly put away the phone in his hand as he said seriously, "Boss, this is actually your phone."

"…"

Five seconds later, Xiang Huai picked up his phone and said coldly, "Then what are you staring at my phone for?"

Lu Chao: "?"

Looking at the new Lemon brand phone that he'd bought two days ago, he silently bade goodbye to it with tears and took a few steps back in silence.

Seeing that he had left, Xiang Huai began typing.

…

Buzz.

Xue Xi had just finished doing a physics question when her phone rang.

She lifted her head to have a look and realized that it was a message sent by Canine Teeth.

Big Lu: "What are you doing?"

Xue Xi thought that this sentence was nonsense.

As a student, what else could she be doing now?

Canine Teeth seemed to be clever, but why did he ask such a stupid question?

Thankfully, she still replied to him nicely.

Learning: "Attending classes."

Big Lu: "Then stop chatting with others, it'll affect your studies."

In Xue Xi's mind, a question mark was slowly being drawn out: "?"

Who is 'others'?

"Oh," she replied to him and continued to be engrossed in doing her questions.

After finishing two periods, Xue Xi walked toward the classroom, but on the way, she saw everyone gesticulating at her. She had no idea why, and by the time she got back to Class One, she saw that the last row of the classroom was occupied by the Flames.

Several Flames got together and shouted as they typed.

"Are you even allowed to talk about our Roaring Flame Society's leader? Young lad, I'll remember your ID!"

"Our Sister Xi is simply formidable to have joined the Math Olympiad class. If you have the capability, then join it too. Old Liu is known for being impartial, why would he accept you?!"

"Sister Xi is formidable!"

"That's right, the Math Star Competition is starting soon and we'll let you see Sister Xi's prowess then!"

"…"

Just as they were discussing, Qin Shuang saw Xue Xi and coughed.

The Flames immediately shut their mouths.

Gao Yanchen leaned on the wall at the back and did not mind Qin Shuang's cough. He was refuting those rumors in the forum, and although he was quiet in reality, he was aggressive when it came to quarreling.

Roaring Flame Society has joined the fight. Everyone, let's leave. By the time the Math Star Competition's results are out, the truth will be unveiled!

Gao Yanchen replied personally, "Leave what? Let's fight. If you're a man, then be strong openly."

I'm really scared to be targeted by the Roaring Flame Society. I won't even know how I'll die by then.

Gao Yanchen: "It's a pity that you aren't frying vegetables because you really know how to add oil and vinegar!"

…

…

After rebuking several people, he saw an anonymous comment.

Xue Xi has just joined the school and is already part of the Roaring Flame Society. Doesn't everyone have any idea what kind of people are in that society? How can there be a curve wrecker among people of such quality?

Looking at this sentence, Gao Yanchen froze.

His hands stopped and he did not reply momentarily.

This comment seemed to have resonated with others, and it collected more than 400 likes when there were only a thousand people in all three levels.

Someone commented below again.

There was an incident of the class fund being stolen in Experimental Class One today. The person in the CCTV footage was clearly Qin Shuang and the money was also found under her desk, but eventually, it was said to be Qin Lu's fault! I saw Gao Yanchen going to the teaching affairs department to look for the director, asking for Qin Lu's punishment. Huh, speaking of punishment, the Roaring Flame Society did nothing short of dying their hair, being late, leaving school early, and bullying other students, but why aren't they being punished?

Ha ha ha, sorry for being direct, but the three words, 'Roaring Flame Society,' sound silly and I feel pretty embarrassed for them. As for the theft incident, the truth can only be one of these two. First, Qin Shuang stole it and framed Qin Lu. Second, Qin Lu has been bullied too many times by Qin Shuang and can no longer stand her. Therefore, she bought a wig and pretended to be Qin Shuang to steal the money. I actually feel sorry for Qin Lu.

Feel sorry for Qin Lu +1

Feel sorry for Qin Lu +10086

After a series of messages about feeling sorry, the topic shifted to Xue Xi again.

A bunch of ignorant, incompetent, and worthless people. Without the Gao family's protection, what are they? Since Xue Xi is with them, her first-place ranking must have been inflated. The Gao family might have given her the papers in advance!

…

…

Gao Yanchen balled up his fists.

Ever since he was young, he had been eccentric and was never bothered by others' opinions.

No matter what he did, Elder Gao would always encourage him. He usually said, "Why learn that? The family has enough money for you to spend next time! We don't need to suffer through that hardship!"

Therefore, he had never thought that this attitude toward life was problematic.

He only took a look at the forum because he heard that Xue Xi was getting bashed there. However, the Roaring Flame Society, which he set up in middle school and was proud of, was actually throwing mud at Xue Xi's name.

This was the first time he felt ashamed.

At this moment, a silhouette stood in front of him and asked hesitatingly, "What are you doing?"

Gao Yanchen was shocked. Lifting his head, he saw the girl standing right in front of him, and her beautiful face was as exquisite as that of a doll.

A girl like her naturally exuded radiance.

But now, because of the Roaring Flame Society, she was stuck in a morass.

Thinking of which, Gao Yanchen quickly locked his phone. He stood up straight and said guiltily, "Nothing much."

Why is Little Flame so nervous?

Just as Xue Xi was feeling baffled, Qin Shuang, also known as Little Talkative, gave free rein to her nature. She explained the whole situation and even narrated a few significant comments. "…This is too much! They even said they'd laugh at the joke after the results of the Math Star are out! Xixi, you need to score better than Fan Han and embarrass them!"

After she said that, the Flames turned to look at her.

Flame Number One tried to sound her out and asked carefully, "Sister Xi, how are your Math Olympiad classes going? Can you get an award?"

They had never played with a curve wrecker in the past!

People like Fan Han and Xue Yao would pretend not to see them if they bump into each other, as though speaking one line to them would make them turn into delinquents themselves.

If Xue Xi could score well, their Roaring Flame Society would be able to walk with their heads held high.

At the thought of it, he heard Xue Xi slowly saying, "…Manageable."

Everyone else: "?"

What does 'manageable' mean? It means unmanageable!

Flame Number One was astonished, and moments later, he coughed. "Actually, being able to participate is an honor itself! It doesn't matter if you get any rankings!"

Flame Numbers Two, Three, and Four seconded, "Right, right, right!"

Qin Shuang also hurriedly comforted her. "Xixi, it doesn't matter if you don't do well. Don't feel pressured. The key thing is the process!"

Xue Xi: "?"

She did not explain further and picked up her bag to go home.

Soon, it was the weekend, and the Math Star competition was about to begin!
