My Inner Thoughts Are Heard by the Entire Noble Academy

Chapter 5

This was truly inexplicable.

After being dropped off at school by the driver, Wei Yi had no time to explain the situation to her mother.

The school schedule was quite packed. Wei Yi set her uncle's messages to a special alert and tossed her phone into her desk drawer.

During the last morning class, she received a message from her uncle.

The ping of the message notification rang out in the classroom, interrupting the Chinese language teacher mid-lecture.

The teacher turned to look at the students, and Wei Yi, ever so obedient, raised her hand to admit her mistake, "It's my phone, I'm sorry teacher, I forgot to put it on silent."

The stern Chinese teacher nodded, "Don't let it happen again."

As the teacher turned back to the blackboard to continue the lesson, Wei Yi simultaneously pulled her phone out of her desk.

She quickly scanned the message from her uncle. Worried about her anxiety, he had informed her of the progress made so far.

In her uncle's investigation, that person indeed maintained an improper relationship with her father.

The woman had two children, and her uncle needed her hair for a DNA comparison.

Whether her father had a mistress or illegitimate children no longer mattered to her.

The existence of a mistress proved that Shi Li hadn't been wrong.

As the Chinese class ended, it was time for the lunch break.

Wei Yi needed to meet her uncle at the school gate, but before that, she asked Shi Li for a favor, "Lili, my family is coming to see me. Could you help me grab some lunch?"

Shi Li, being a nosy and warmhearted person, agreed readily, "Sure, no problem."

After inquiring about Wei Yi's dietary restrictions, Shi Li let her go.

"Lili, when did you and Wei Yi become so close?"

The original protagonist had her own clique, consisting of two girls from similar family backgrounds who usually followed her lead but were also deeply in love with the male lead, just like the cannon fodder characters they were.

This clique was in the same class as Shi Li, so they knew all too well why Shi Li and Wei Yi were close.

However, not wanting Shi Li to know they could hear her thoughts, they still had to ask this question.

Although they had known each other since childhood and had a decent relationship, they were quite curious about Shi Li's inner thoughts.

That's why, despite having close friends in the class, no one had told her about this.

[It's hard to imagine that my future wise and intelligent besties are now just a bunch of cannon fodder]

Besties: ???

So this is how you curse us in your mind.

As for Shi Li's mental description of them as wise and intelligent, they chose to selectively ignore it, focusing only on the "cannon fodder" part.

In her past life, Shi Li not only distanced herself from the male lead and the plot but also used her experience to keep her whole family and cannon fodder friends away from the male lead.

These two besties, apart from being stubborn at times, were very intelligent. After staying away from the male lead, they also had brilliant and wonderful lives.

It had been many years since Shi Li had seen her friends like this, and she truly missed it.

Just then...

[Well, birds of a feather flock together. It's normal for a vicious female supporting character to be surrounded by cannon fodder]

The besties exchanged a glance.

Cursing us is one thing, but how could she not even spare herself?

Moreover, the words she used to describe herself were even harsher. We're just cannon fodder, but she called herself a vicious female supporting character.

Shi Qiuyu quickly typed out a message [Do you think there's something wrong with her?]

While Shi Li was getting food, Gao Yun seized the opportunity to reply to her friend [Do you even need to ask?]

Well, she must be possessed. It's normal for her to say such things.

Wei Yi found her uncle's car in the parking lot at the school gate and opened the door to sit in the passenger seat.

She handed over the hair with follicles attached, "Thank you, uncle."

"No need for thanks between family."

"Please don't tell my mom about this yet, I want to wait..."

Before Wei Yi could explain her reasons, Xun Xun agreed, "You're an adult now. This is your decision to make."

Wei Yi's mind was a bit chaotic, and she didn't really register her uncle's comforting words.

Before she got out of the car, Xun Xun took a paper bag from the back seat and handed it to her.

Walking out of the parking lot, Wei Yi opened the bag to find her favorite homemade cakes.

She couldn't help but sniffle a little.

Upon entering the cafeteria, she immediately spotted Shi Li and the other two sitting by the door.

There was an empty seat next to Shi Li, with an untouched tray of food in front of it, clearly reserved for her.

On the way back to school, Wei Yi had already composed herself.

She distributed the small cakes to the three, "My family came to bring me some cake. It's really delicious."

Shi Li, being the most naive of the three, believed that Wei Yi's family had come specifically to bring her cake.

Shi Qiuyu and Gao Yun exchanged a glance, knowing that Wei Yi's family must have come for something important, probably related to Wei Yongsheng keeping a mistress. The cake was just an afterthought.

Shi Li had loved this cake in her past life too, so she ate it with great pleasure.

The other three at the table, however, each had their own thoughts.

Wei Yi was thinking about her troublesome father.

Shi Qiuyu, following the principle of sharing gossip, updated the class group chat about Wei Yi's lunchtime activities.

Of course, this class group didn't include Wei Yi and Shi Li.

The group chat was bustling with activity.

[No need to guess, Wei the scumbag must have a mistress]

[A dad who keeps a mistress and has illegitimate children is worse than having no dad at all]

[Show off your love and die fast]

[This is heading straight for disaster]

[Wonder what Wei Yi plans to do]

[Of course she'll flip the table, no one gets to live peacefully]

Soon after, someone changed the group chat name to "Did Wei Yongsheng Get in Trouble Today"

This new group chat name sparked another round of messages.

[Wow, that's too...]

[After all, he is Wei Yi's biological father. Is it right for us to hope for his downfall?]

[I think Wei Yi probably doesn't want that father anymore]

The class spent the entire lunch break discussing Wei Yi's family drama.

During lunch, only the naive Shi Li took a nap.

Everyone else was engrossed in gossiping and discussing.

No afternoon nap leads to afternoon breakdown.

In the afternoon classes, except for Shi Li who was listening attentively, everyone else was as tired as dogs.

The studious ones could barely keep their spirits up, but they were the minority.

The remaining majority of students were yawning, sprawled across their desks.

The teacher at the podium knocked on the blackboard forcefully twice, "How strange, did all of you go thieving last night? You're all so sleepy in broad daylight."

The students, feeling guilty, jolted awake all at once.

They discreetly observed Shi Li's expression, worried she might notice something amiss.

They weren't out stealing or anything, but they not only skipped their midday nap, they even stayed up until the wee hours of the morning yesterday.

[Strange, these people usually have plenty of energy to party and play games all night long. What happened to make them drowsy during the day? Is there some gossip I don't know about?]

Others: Come to think of it, this juicy piece of news actually has something to do with you.
