Chapter 35 Big shot, she's both beautiful and handsome

Qiao Nian stuffed her backpack into her desk, then stretched out her hand and took Shen Qingqing's with a grasp, "Thank you—Qiao Nian." Wow, so cool! Shen Qingqing's cheeks flushed red, and she was electrified for a long while before she could snap out of it. The new student's fingers were long, although the palms were a bit cold—perhaps from the breeze. Shen Qingqing patted her face, cooling her cheeks, and silently closed the window next to her. She even kicked the chair of the student in front: "Xiao Han, I'm cold, close the window." "It's August and you're cold..." The student in front complained, but considerately closed the open window. Qiao Nian rummaged through her backpack and pulled out a bottle of chewing gum. Seeing their little actions, her dark and beautiful starry eyes glanced at her new desk mate without saying a word. She dug into her shoulder bag for a while and finally found a little trinket to give her. "For you." "What's this?" Shen Qingqing instinctively picked up what was handed to her—a very fine bracelet with a round, shiny pendant attached. She held up the pendant to see that it contained an exceptionally sparkling crystal, shining brightly in the sunlight. She couldn't help but exclaim in awe, fondly holding the bracelet: "Qiao Nian, are you really giving this to me? It's so beautiful." It was so stunning! She'd never seen such a pretty bracelet. The crystal inside looked just like a real diamond. When Qiao Nian saw her delight, her pink lips curved slightly in a casual manner, "A friend gave it to me. I'm not going to wear it anyway. It's better for someone who likes it to wear it on their wrist than for it to sit in my backpack. It's yours now." Shen Qingqing joyfully accepted the gift but felt a little embarrassed. Puckering her lips, she said, "Thanks, then one day I'll also give you a gift." The corner of Qiao Nian's eyes lifted slightly, her beauty and coolness as striking as ever, as her legs casually bent under the desk. Her eyes seemed to sparkle with electricity: "No need." Shen Qingqing felt electrified once again; why did she always feel the new girl student was so cool? Touching her burning cheeks, she stammered, "But you've given me a gift, so I have to give something back." "If you don't accept my gift, then I can't accept this one." She reluctantly placed the bracelet on the desk, pushing it towards Qiao Nian. Her eyes never left the bracelet, clearly showing how much she liked it. Qiao Nian raised an eyebrow, her gaze resting on Shen Qingqing's flushed cheeks and expectant eyes. After a long moment, she relented with a nod. "Fine." Just as the homeroom teacher walked in, everyone scattered back to their seats like birds. The teacher at the podium began discussing notes for the school opening. Qiao Nian found it tedious and suddenly her phone inside the desk vibrated. She bowed her head, lowered her eyes, and took out her phone. A new message popped up. There was no signature, just a strange string of Latin numbers forming the entire ID. [Big Boss, the goods you've been waiting for have arrived. The auction starts in one hour; hurry up and come.] Qiao Nian's slender fingers typed a swift reply. [OK.] The teacher on the podium finally finished speaking and started assigning people to fetch books. Shen Qingqing, as the academic committee member, was busy organizing people to go downstairs for the books. Qiao Nian stood up to pack her bag, zipped up her shoulder bag, and said to her, "I have something to take care of in a bit; I need to leave first. When the teacher comes, can you please ask for leave on my behalf?" "Now? You're leaving now?" Shen Qingqing was taken aback.
