Gu Qian finally stopped asking questions as he took a swig of the tea urn next to him. “Sit. You’ve already obtained 80 percent of the marks for your first semester, I’ll give you the remaining 20 percent of your marks during your examinations.”
Everyone present: “…”
Zi Yi nodded her head and sat down with a calm expression.
Gu Qian looked at the other students and asked, “Who else wants to get their marks in advance like Zi Yi?”
Everyone buried their heads and remained silent.
What a joke! They haven’t even understood the basics yet so how would they have the capability to get any marks in advance?
Gu Qian saw that everyone remained silent and shifted his gaze to Zi Yi. “You don’t have to attend my lessons on usual days. But you need to be there when I bring the class out for practicals.”
“Alright.” Zi Yi did not find his stipulations to be a problem.
Gu Qian was satisfied with her response and started to teach.
In only half a day’s time, the news of Zi Yi obtaining 80 percent of the marks of the Ancient Chinese Language module had spread throughout the entire school. All the teachers and students of the Archaeology Major had gotten to know about it.
Zi Yi and Li Xia went to eat lunch in the school canteen. Along the way, no matter if they encountered their classmates or seniors, they would all ask, “Student Zi, did you really get all the non examination credits for Ancient Chinese Language, for the first semester?”
Li Xia would actively reply on her behalf. “That’s right, yes, yes.”
“Wow, Zi Yi, you’re amazing.”
The School of Liberal Arts was the largest school in M.Uni. Not only were there many majors, but they also had plenty of students.
By the time they arrived at the school canteen, many people had already gotten to know of this.
Li Xia craned her neck to look at the numerous queues near the window and said to Zi Yi, “What do you want to eat? I’ll go and queue. You can go and choose seats for us!”
Zi Yi did not have much of an opinion and after she told Li Xia what she wanted to eat, she thought of bringing a normal robot the next time to order their food in advance, so that there was no need for them to queue in the future.
Li Xia went to the queue, whereas Zi Yi found a four-seater table and sat down. She then put down her bag on the seat next to her.
She was just about to take out her phone when a male student came over with an unconcealed excited expression.
“Student Zi, is there anyone sitting opposite you?”
Zi Yi gave him an odd look. “No.”
She swiped to open her phone and checked the message Dou Xiangling had sent to her.
Zi Yi’s lips unconsciously curled up at the sight of the message and she typed a reply.
Zi Yi: [I don’t have classes in the afternoon, but I’m heading to the biology lab shortly.]
Dou Xiangling: [What time will you finish?]
Zi Yi: [I can’t confirm as of now yet.]
Dou Xiangling: [Alright, give me a call when you’re done. We can go back together.]
Zi Yi: [Okay.]
She left their conversation chat room and she looked up to see the male student staring at her. She furrowed her eyebrows in displeasure.
Ji Tao did not expect to get caught red-handed, but instead of panicking, he smiled at her and politely asked, “Student Zi, do you want to drink anything? Shall I get you a bottle of water?”
The whole of the canteen had their attention on the both of them.
Zi Yi coldly answered, “No need, thanks.”
She then looked at Li Xia who was still in the queue and continued to swipe across her phone.
While she swiped on her phone, she said, “Student, hasn’t your teacher taught you that it’s very disrespectful to stare at other people?”
Zi Yi’s voice was not considered loud, but it contained traces of displeasure.
Those male students who were envious of Ji Tao suddenly felt better.
The expression on Ji Tao’s face almost crumbled, but he definitely would not run with his tail in between his legs at this point in time. He naturally looked away and started to eat.
A male and female student sitting in a corner started to gossip.
The female student sneered. “See that? This person is very lofty and yet, you say you like her. See how awkward that male student seated opposite of her is. If you went over to confess now, you will be in the same state as him if you get rejected.”
The male student ate his food with his head lowered and did not answer.
The female student suddenly became agitated. “Didn’t you say you wanted to confess to her? Why are you still sitting here?”
After the male student swallowed his food he said, “I only said to come here and see what kind of girl she is. Neither did I say I would confess to her nor that I like her. Ning Xiangtong, why are you being so sarcastic?”
Ning Xiangtong was stunned momentarily before she said grumpily, “You boys specially come here to see her, doesn’t it mean that you fancy her and want to confess?”
The male student found that she was being increasingly ridiculous. “Student Zi has a boyfriend. I do not have the habit of stealing someone else’s loved one.”
The male student added, “I’m going to the Student Union to discuss something with the President, don’t follow me.”
“Who wants to follow you?”
The female student started eating in an upset manner.
However, she was thinking deep down, “You’re just refusing to admit it. If you don’t like her, why would you specially make a trip down to see her?”
Back to Zi Yi’s side.
Li Xia queued for around five to six minutes before she managed to order their food.
She came over and sat down next to Zi Yi and lamented. “Zi Yi, we usually get released from class early, so we should come here earlier next time. Otherwise, it’s too tiring to queue for such a long time.”
Zi Yi grabbed her chopsticks and agreed with her suggestion.
Li Xia was about to start eating, but she had subconsciously swept her gaze around her surroundings. She bumped her elbow against Zi Yi’s. “Many people are stealing glances at you.”
Zi Yi gave her a look and said, “Eat.”
Li Xia grinned at her and said, “I suddenly feel that everyone is also looking at me.”
After saying that, she took a bite of her lunch before she looked up and checked her surroundings.
However, her gaze landed on a female student who walked in through the main entrance and Li Xia could not help but mutter, “That female student seems like she’s heading in our direction. She’s holding onto something that looks like an envelope. Could she be coming here to look for you?”
As soon as Li Xia said that, the female student had really walked over.
Everyone’s gaze fell on her.
The female student felt pressured by all the stares, but she still persisted and walked over to Zi Yi and handed the envelope to her. “Student Zi, I’m delivering this letter on behalf of someone else. You must read it.”
She then put the envelope on the table and turned around to leave.
Everyone was looking at the envelope in front of her.
The envelope was the most basic design and there should just be a piece of paper inside, as it looked flat.
However, everyone felt that it was definitely a love letter.
Zi Yi glanced at the envelope and her powerful mental energy made her immediately sense something dangerous in it. She would be a fool to open it. Thinking of this, she lowered her head and started to eat.
Li Xia, who was seated next to her, got a little excited. “There are still people who send something so old-fashioned like love letters these days? Zi Yi, why don’t you open it and take a look.”
Zi Yi did not even bother to look up and she asked, “What if there is something that would cause harm to me inside?”
