Chapter 7 I Am Such a Clever Little Devil

Ji Qiuge found it strange. What was the second male lead approving of? Approving of her sneering at the female lead?

Just as she was about to speak, the class suddenly erupted in commotion.

Ji Qiuge immediately realized the male lead had arrived.

Sure enough, when she turned her head, Fu Yunjing, dressed in a full suit with gold-rimmed glasses, walked in with an imposing presence.

As soon as he arrived, an overwhelming sense of pressure filled the room, making it hard for all the students to breathe. The commotion caused by his arrival instantly subsided, and the room fell silent.

Ji Qiuge sneered inwardly. What oppressive aura? It was just the plot taking effect.

She glanced at Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao was still looking down, writing. After what happened last night, she had decided to focus solely on her studies during school hours and ignore everything else.

When Fu Yunjing entered, he immediately noticed the Hun Dan Sisters and, following Ji Qiuge's gaze, saw Su Xiaoxiao.

He recognized Su Xiaoxiao and a playful smile appeared on his lips.

He had heard that a new commoner girl had come to the school, and it seemed to be her.

Thinking of what she said yesterday, Fu Yunjing found this little girl somewhat interesting.

While Fu Yunjing was looking at Su Xiaoxiao, Ji Qiuge looked down at Fu Yunjing's shoes.

Unfortunately, today he was wearing matte black leather shoes.

It seemed that the colorful shoes wouldn't be seen again anytime soon.

Just as she was thinking this, Ji Qiuge felt something was off. When she looked up, she saw Fu Yunjing staring at her with a cold expression.

Naturally, Fu Yunjing also thought of his colorful shoes from last night due to her gaze. He didn't know why he had a moment of madness and chose those colorful shoes.

But in any case, as a man who had never failed, he didn't want to bring up last night's incident again!

He had already taken down all the pictures and videos from yesterday's press conference that showed his shoes, and no one was allowed to post anything related online.

But Ji Qiuge's gaze...

Fu Yunjing coldly said, "Ji Qiuge, if you're not returning to your seat, are you planning to answer my question directly?"

Ji Qiuge hesitated. Was this in the original plot?

She remembered today's main plot was the male lead giving a lesson and asking a question. As the villainess, Ji Qiuge would call out Su Xiaoxiao to answer.

Su Xiaoxiao wouldn't be able to answer, but her unyielding attitude would impress Fu Yunjing, who would then ask Ji Qiuge a question she couldn't answer, leaving her humiliated for the day.

[It's probably because of the shoes. Don't fully rely on the original plot. Since we're altering the plot, the book's content will change slightly to avoid affecting the main storyline.]

The system kindly reminded her.

Ji Qiuge didn't know what to say. Due to her silence, Fu Yunjing's disdain and disgust deepened.

"Has the Ji family now reached a point where they don't even respect me? Miss Ji, can't you understand my words?"

This remark drew gasps from the class.

This statement was quite serious.

The room's atmosphere became even more oppressive.

Some recalled Fu Yunjing's tyrant reputation and feared he might do something drastic in anger, implicating them.

"I think the professor has misunderstood," Ye Lingjun suddenly spoke, his gentle voice breaking the tense atmosphere.

"Miss Ji was probably just too intimidated by your presence to speak. Besides, there's still one minute until the bell rings."

Fu Yunjing sharply looked at Ye Lingjun.

Ye Lingjun calmly met his gaze without fear.

Ji Qiuge became more certain that Ye Lingjun had something off about him. In the original story, Ye Lingjun always disliked her for being a high-and-mighty rich girl.

Her past memories were filled with instances of him standing in front of the female lead whenever she bullied her.

"System, what's up with him? Do you think he's acting according to his character?"

[Isn't he? The second male lead is a righteous, gentle, and helpful gentleman.]

Ji Qiuge: "..."

Thinking about it, it seemed accurate.

"Isn't there a possibility that someone else might awaken like me? Didn't you say he was once chosen as a host?"

[Yes, but only one person can awaken in a world. Without the permission of the world consciousness, characters can't awaken.]

Fine.

Ji Qiuge didn't argue further and nodded at Ye Lingjun before looking at Fu Yunjing.

Ji Qiuge forced a smile and said, "Yes, you misunderstood!"

She endured it!

Fu Yunjing coldly glanced at her and said, "In that case, get back to your seat for the lesson!"

Ji Qiuge sneered inwardly as she sat down.

What's he so proud of? One day...

Wait!

Ji Qiuge thought of that classic line and suddenly felt it was quite fitting for the situation.

But the problem was... she had missed the best moment, and it wouldn't be appropriate to shout it now after already apologizing.

Ji Qiuge gave up the idea and pondered for a better opportunity.

Having a sense of conviction, in her opinion, required the right setting and plot for her to shout those lines confidently.

Otherwise, shouting those lines out of nowhere would make her look crazy.

While she was thinking, the plot took over.

Ji Qiuge listened helplessly as Fu Yunjing asked a question, and "she" excitedly spoke up.

"Why not let Su Xiaoxiao answer? I heard she's excellent academically and is a new student the professor hasn't met yet."

Fu Yunjing looked at Su Xiaoxiao.

"Then Su Xiaoxiao, please answer."

Su Xiaoxiao blushed and stood up, embarrassed, and softly said, "Sorry, I don't know..."

Ji Qiuge clearly heard herself let out a sneer.

She found it unreasonable. If the male lead's presence was so intimidating, why was it different for her, the villainess?

Fu Yunjing's cold eyes turned to her.

"Miss Ji seems confident. It looks like you know the answer. Why don't you answer?"

Ji Qiuge stood up, but under the plot's influence, she stammered and couldn't say anything.

Fu Yunjing adjusted his glasses and mockingly said, "You can't even answer, yet you dare to speak so boldly in my class. The Ji family's upbringing is indeed lacking."

After speaking, he ignored Ji Qiuge and allowed Su Xiaoxiao to sit down.

Only Ji Qiuge remained standing, her face red with embarrassment.

As the plot's influence faded, Ji Qiuge first sighed in relief, then suddenly steeled herself.

She slapped the desk.

All eyes were on her.

Ji Qiuge raised her chin and looked at Fu Yunjing, proudly saying, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, don't bully the young and poor! Just because I can't answer today doesn't mean I won't be able to answer next time. What does this have to do with the Ji family's upbringing?!"

After she finished, the classroom fell silent as death.
