Bai Yumo did not eat much for lunch. When she returned to the dormitory, she covered herself with a blanket.
Qin Juan followed her to the dormitory and carefully nudged her.
"Yumo, are you alright?"
Bai Yumo lifted the blanket and sat up. She looked at Qin Juan and complained aggrievedly.
"How could she do that to me? We used to be best friends who slept in the same bed. Just because the guy she liked fell in love with me and got together with me, she broke up with me."
"I said I could give him to her. Why must she humiliate me in front of so many people?"
"I didn't expect Xia Jinmian to be such a person. When she ran out of money at the orphanage, I was the one who secretly gave her money. Now, she forgot about it and even exacted revenge on me."
Qin Juan was also very angry when she heard that. "Xia Jinmian is too much. She's so ungrateful. No wonder your boyfriend only likes you and not her."
When her dormitory mates heard this, they also chimed in angrily,
"Xia Jinmian is an orphan in the orphanage? She deserves to be an orphan. How shameless!"
"Orphans are all unsophisticated country bumpkins! How can such a country bumpkin get close to Third Young Master? She will taint Third Young Master!"
"Exactly! That country bumpkin even has the face of a vixen. She dares to bully Bai Yumo in front of so many people. She must be very scheming. She might have seduced Third Young Master."
"How shameless!"
Bai Yumo covered her face and cried softly, but her lips curled up imperceptibly.
Xia Jinmian, just you wait. I won't let you have it easy!
Bai Yumo thought resentfully.

The day's classes were over.
The teacher did not care about Xia Jinmian and even hated her.
Xia Jinmian did not mind. She borrowed the Chinese textbooks for Grades 10 to 12 from her classmates and used the time during class to read and memorize them.
She chose science stream. Other than Chinese, the other subjects were very simple for her.
She knew the Host's wish—she wanted to get accepted to college, leave Luo City, and find her biological parents.
Since she was using this body now, she felt that she had an obligation to help the Host fulfill this wish.
She also wanted to use this opportunity to let Uncle and Aunt see her in a different light and not treat her like a non-achiever.
After the bell rang, Xia Jinmian borrowed a mathematics textbook from her classmate to study at home.
As soon as she left, the classroom immediately exploded.
"Xia Jinmian hasn't been revising with the teacher all day. She's been reading the Chinese textbooks."
"Didn't you notice that the teacher doesn't care about her? I guess her grades must be very poor. The teacher can't be bothered."
The study committee member said smugly, "You're right. I went to ask the form teacher about her grades—a non-achiever who transferred from the countryside and failed every subject."
"Oh my god! How did she get into our class with such poor results?"
"It's all because there's someone backing her up!"
"Then why did she read the Chinese textbooks all day today? Was she putting on an act? Or could she only understand the Chinese textbooks?"
"Hahahaha, that's really possible…"
Ye Moqing carried his school bag and walked out. When he heard the discussion, he shook his head with a cold smile.
A bunch of ignoramus!
He observed Xia Jinmian for a day. That girl was very smart!
She had spent an entire day reading the Chinese textbooks because she had memorized all six textbooks!
Ye Moqing's cell phone rang just as he stepped out of the building.
He whipped it out and saw that it was a call from his mother.
He picked up the call.
