Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Hearing Gu Qingchen’s words, Shi Wei’s darkened expression brightened again. She finally heard from Gu Qingchen that she and An Ge were the best match.
“Hahaha, Gu Qingchen, I didn’t expect something like that would happen to you. I’m in a good mood today, so I’ll let you off. You can go now.”
Gu Qingchen looked at Shi Wei indifferently. Shi Wei had a bright smile on her face, but she still looked at Gu Qingchen coldly.
“Humph, Gu Qingchen, do you think that by flattering me, everything in the past can be written off? Everything has just begun. I’ll make sure you have a miserable time!”
Gu Qingchen’s whole body shook violently as if her mind was bombarded by something. A sentence like this entered her ears. She could hear that it was Shi Wei’s voice, but Shi Wei clearly did not speak. What on Earth was going on?
Gu Qingchen looked at Shi Wei again, but she couldn’t hear anything. When she gazed at the people around Shi Wei, all kinds of voices entered her ears again.
“Gu Qingchen is finally done for, and now Shi Wei has stolen the limelight. I’m really unhappy.”
“An Ge will go on a date with her? Tch, it must be her who is pestering my An Ge. What a shameless woman!”
“Sigh, it’s so annoying to face Shi Wei all day long. She’s even more arrogant than Gu Qingchen, thinking that the whole world belongs to her. Hmph!”
The more Gu Qingchen “listened”, the more shocked she became. Her eyes were full of surprise. After so many years of being calm, she did not panic and did not show it on her face.
She gently raised her hand and covered her ears, but the sound still did not stop. The sound rushed into her head, and Gu Qingchen felt that her head was about to explode.
They… they clearly did not speak, but why did she hear all this? Could it be that those were their innermost thoughts and feelings?
She… could read minds?
Such a thought suddenly popped into her head. She had watched television before, and there had been people with superpowers in it, and mind-reading was one of them.
Since television dramas were all lies, the ending would have a “This story is purely fictional, and if there is a coincidence, it is purely coincidental.” label. Gu Qingchen found it hard to believe that such a thing could happen to her.
However, even the biggest impossibility had happened to her. She could be reborn, and with mind-reading, it did not seem so hard to accept.
In other words, not only was she reborn, but she also had a mind-reading superpower. Did this mean that she could completely change her life!
Thinking of this, Gu Qingchen’s heart was beating strongly in her chest. It seemed that she had not felt excited for many years.
“Humph, I’ll watch Gu Qingchen’s show later. If the teacher finds out that Shi Wei’s wallet is in Gu Qingchen’s bag, it will be a great show.”
Gu Qingchen met Ma Shihan’s eyes and heard all this in her head. Gu Qingchen’s expression changed slightly as she looked deeply at Ma Shihan.
She remembered that Ma Shihan was the only person who did not ridicule her after her family had changed. She did not expect that the truth would be like this. The truth was indeed the cruelest.
If the Gu Qingchen in the past was pure and kind, then the current Gu Qingchen was cruel and cold.
Not taking revenge was not her motto. Her motto was simple, take revenge immediately. She would not wait until the next day because she did not know if she could still live for another day.
After many years in the real world, Gu Qingchen had developed such a temperament. Her cold nature was the best explanation for her current situation.
While everyone was flattering Shi Wei, Gu Qingchen had already quietly entered the classroom. There were still people cleaning the classroom. Gu Qingchen’s seat was in the middle while Ma Shihan sat not far from Gu Qingchen.
If Ma Shihan stole Shi Wei’s wallet and put it in her school bag during the class break, it was entirely possible.
Gu Qingchen calmly touched her school bag, and her hands paused slightly. There was indeed a wallet in her school bag. In other words, she really had the superpower and could read other people’s thoughts.
Gu Qingchen was silent for a moment, then quickly took out the wallet and stuffed it into Ma Shihan’s school bag.
The series of actions were very fast, and no one saw it. Gu Qingchen sat there calmly, thinking about how she suddenly had the superpower.
She still needed to test it a few more times to see how the superpower could be used. However, it was better for her to use it as little as possible, because every time she used it, she would feel a headache. Maybe she had just started to have a superpower, and she was still not used to it.
Soon, the bell rang again. Everyone returned to their seats. Ma Shihan stole a glance at Gu Qingchen and then sat in her seat as if nothing had happened.
“Ah! Where’s my wallet?”
Shi Wei’s voice was very loud. Even the teacher who had just entered the classroom heard it. She frowned and put down the book in her hand.
“What happened?”
The one who spoke was Liu Ying, the homeroom teacher of third-year class one. This lesson was hers. As soon as she entered the classroom, she heard Shi Wei say that her wallet was gone. Of course, she paid extra attention to it.
“Did you misplace it? Look carefully again. It shouldn’t be lost in school.”
Liu Ying’s class had never had stolen incidents. She didn’t expect that a student’s wallet would be lost today.
“No, I’ve looked for it several times. I’m sure I have lost my wallet. It was still with me during class just now. It must have been stolen!”
Shi Wei was furious. Someone actually dared to steal her money. If she caught that person, she would not let them off easily.
Seeing Shi Wei so angry, Liu Ying also knew that the situation was grave. She looked at the crowd solemnly and said sternly, “If any student accidentally took Shi Wei’s wallet, I hope that you would take out the wallet. This has never happened in our class, and we don’t allow such things to happen. If anyone accidentally took it, hand it over now, and I won’t pursue the matter.”
Having been a teacher for so many years, Liu Ying naturally knew how to deal with the current situation. Saying these words was just to put psychological pressure on the students. If someone really admitted that they had “taken the wrong wallet” by accident, how could Liu Ying not pursue the incident?
Everyone was whispering. They looked at each other, but no one came forward to admit it.
“Ms. Liu, why don’t we conduct a bag search? If it was taken by a classmate, then there is no other place to hide it. We just need to search, and we will know.”
Unexpectedly, the first person to speak was actually Ma Shihan. Hearing this, Shi Wei immediately nodded in agreement. “That’s right let’s do a bag search. I want to see who dares to steal my things!”
Although everyone did not want their bags to be searched, due to Shi Wei’s background and Liu Ying’s insistence, all of them agreed to the bag search.
Gu Qingchen was calm. She saw Ma Shihan’s lips curling up slightly as if she was pleased with the success of her plot.
In a while, she would not be able to laugh anymore. She was really full of herself trying to scheme in front of Gu Qingchen!
She had lived many years longer than these children. Now that she had been reborn, she could even read minds. To try and play tricks with her was too silly.
The teacher checked one by one and soon, it was Gu Qingchen’s turn. As expected, Gu Qingchen saw that Ma Shihan had a playful look in her eyes, as if she was waiting to watch a show.
