The Goddess is Sweet and Aloof

"Qiao Xiaren, the principal is looking for you over there."

A girl ran over, panting heavily, and stammered out her words after a long pause.

Why was the principal looking for Qiao Xiaren? All students were quite curious, as the principal would only summon one directly if they'd earned a top-class scholarship or a higher honor.

"Okay, I'm going now."

Xiaren smiled at He Zimin and then followed the girl.

Not until Qiao Xiaren left did the huddle of students snap out of their daze.

"Qiao Xiaren is so attractive! Why didn't we notice how beautiful she is before!"

"That's because she usually keeps her head down, so we can't see her face clearly!"

"Yeah, she used to wear her hair loose and always stayed behind Qiao Anchu."

As the school bell rang, all students who were still on the corridor and playground scurried back to their classrooms. Entering the classroom, Teacher Zhang found it a mess, and the front seats were still vacant.

Sitting at the back, Qiao Anchu, of course, noticed this was Xiaren's seat.

Qiao Xiaren actually skipped class! Her eyes gleamed maliciously as a wicked smile crept onto her face. Without a second thought, Qiao Anchu stood up, an enchanting smile on her face.

"Excuse me, Teacher Zhang."

Seeing Qiao Anchu stand up, Teacher Zhang, assuming she had something important to discuss, adjusted his glasses and asked in a gentle tone, "Anchu, what's up?"

Qiao Anchu's academic grades were always in the top few ranks in town. Many teachers praised her and were fond of this talented and beautiful girl.

However, for every exam, Qiao Anchu had Xiaren write all the answers on a slip of paper for her first, leaving Xiaren insufficient time to fill out her own paper.

Thus, Qiao Anchu always ranked first, while Xiaren was one of the lowest.

The chaotic classroom quieted down a lot the moment Qiao Anchu stood up, and all eyes turned to her.

"Teacher, I know where Xiaren is and why she has missed class."

Qiao Anchu bit her lip, lowered her head slightly after saying these words, as if she found it hard to utter something embarrassing.

Teacher Zhang assumed that Qiao Anchu had some secret difficulty and his voice softened even more, "Anchu, you can tell me anything. I'll certainly help you with anything regarding Xiaren. She hasn't…"

Before Teacher Zhang could finish, Qiao Anchu impatiently interrupted, "Teacher, Qiao Xiaren is currently messing around with someone, that's why she has missed class… You know, that guy is already 48 years old. But she has bewitched him to follow him, he was initially reluctant. But Xiaren kept seducing him, last time… last time I even saw them together on one bed..."

As if she couldn't say anymore, Qiao Anchu fell silent, biting her lip. Her face turned pale with a appropriately mixed look of fear and embarrassment as if she was truly shocked by what she had witnessed.

Certainly, for a girl her age, being seen with boys in bed, let alone having a boyfriend, would be considered audacious.

As she wished, the classroom filled with gasps again, as if everyone had actually been frightened by what Qiao Anchu had said. The students started whispering amongst themselves.

Qiao Anchu kept her head down, continuing to feign a mournful demeanor, as if she was truly heartbroken by what Qiao Xiaren had done.

Her slightly drooping eyes concealed the flash of a vicious smile. In her heart, she gloated, thinking that this time, she would surely defame Qiao Xiaren in front of the teachers and students.
