Chapter 21: Chapter 21 Happiness Comes Too Suddenly_1
Xiaren, of course, couldn't bear to kill these adorable little creatures, so she took several fresh eggs.
After leaving the space, Qiao Xiaren cooked a dish of steamed egg in the kitchen and boiled a few eggs. The freshly boiled eggs smelled delicious, and Xiaren ate several of them in succession.
Although she had eggs in her space, she couldn't continue to eat just eggs all the time.
"Qiao Xiaren?"
The sound of Qiao Anchu's voice came from behind, and Xiaren turned around to meet Qiao Anchu's angry gaze. Perhaps she didn't get a good night's sleep, as she looked somewhat fatigued.
"Oh, it's Senior Sister. Good morning."
Xiaren smiled amiably, her hand scooping the water out of the pot into the drain. Sunlight shone on her cheeks, casting a dreamlike glow. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, leaving a faint shadow beneath them.
Qiao Anchu's breath hitched, her expression becoming even more distorted.
"I left you a bowl of porridge in the kitchen. How dare you steal other people's eggs! You really have the nerve, Qiao Xiaren!"
Xiaren casually combed a lock of hair behind her ear and smiled, "Senior Sister, dare I eat your porridge? It's already cold. What if I get a stomach ache?"
Xiaren glanced at the porridge sitting over there, she genuinely hadn't expected Qiao Anchu to leave a bowl of porridge for her.
There must be something fishy about such a sudden gesture. What if she was trying to frame her by adding laxatives to it?
This kind of situation wasn't unheard of in her past life.
At these words, Qiao Anchu's gaze shifted, evincing a flicker of guilt.
Xiaren snorted coldly. She knew Qiao Anchu was up to no good.
"Still pretending to be a delicate princess, aren't you? You can't even drink a bowl of cold porridge." Qiao Anchu mocked, but Xiaren brushed her off and marched past her, accidentally brushing Qiao Anchu's shoulder.
Qiao Anchu staggered back a few steps, watching Xiaren's receding figure with venomous eyes, wishing she could shred her to pieces.
Soon, it was time for the school's annual examination.
Although the school was a bit rundown, birches stood majestically on both sides, and the sandy sports field bore traces of leftover morning rain.
"Hey, did you hear? That silly girl from class three scored the highest in our school."
"The silly one? Are you talking about that girl called Qiao Xiaren?"
"Yeah, that's her. It's unbelievable. She used to be one of the last few, but this time, she unbelievably ranked first in the entire school."
"Huh, she might have cheated."
The schoolyard remained bustling, filled with people chatting and gossiping. People loved to gather and gossip.
At that moment, the bustling crowd parted to create a path.
A girl with a ponytail walked in. Dressed in a simple white shirt and jeans, she carried an air of refreshing beauty. The sunlight brought out the crystal translucent glow from her fair skin.
Carrying a pile of books, she seemed unaffected by the noisy environment around her.
As she walked past, not just the boys, even the girls were lost in admiration.
Sudden gasps resonated around the campus, for the girl who stepped onto the scene was stunningly beautiful!
Xiaren walked up to a boy and handed him the book in her hand, and said softly, "Thank you for your book."
No…. Not at all," the boy's face turned beet red. He used to be her classmate and later, due to his excellent academic performance, was transferred to an advanced class.
He Zimin's face turned a shade of red, looking at the girl's pure and pristine white arm, he felt that every glance he took was a violation.
Taking the book and accidentally touching Xiaren's arm, he smelt a faint fragrance exuding from the girl, different from anyone else.
The burst of happiness had come too suddenly; He Zimin was so elated that he almost coughed.
