My Inner Thoughts Are Heard by the Entire Noble Academy

Chapter 73

This self-study session was fruitful for everyone.

However, Sun Yiling had some other ideas in mind.

After school, she insisted on sticking to Shi Li, saying she wanted to go eat hot pot with lamb. Her family wouldn't accompany her, and her classmates and best friends were all busy. She claimed it would be too pitiful to eat hot pot alone.

Her classmates and best friends: Search your conscience, did you even ask us?

Then she insisted that Shi Li accompany her, which Shi Li found rather puzzling.

[Help, I'm not even that close to her]

But in the whole class, Sun Yiling wasn't the only one who inexplicably clung to her.

There were too many overly familiar people in the class, and she had grown accustomed to it all.

She wasn't opposed to having hot pot with lamb with Sun Yiling in the evening.

In fact, she readily agreed.

In the cold winter, with snowflakes drifting outside, it was the perfect time for hot pot with lamb.

As for homework and such, those were unimportant matters.

With delicious food in front of you, everything else could wait.

After getting in the car, Sun Yiling began casually trying to extract information from Shi Li.

She opened a video and said to Shi Li in a half-recommending tone, "This is my new idol group. I think they dance so well, and their singing is amazing too."

Zooming in on one of the members' faces, she continued, "Among these guys, I like him the best. He's so handsome, his eyes seem to speak."

In class, Sun Yiling's persona as a fangirl was deeply ingrained, so Shi Li wasn't surprised that she would recommend her favorite celebrities.

Even though Shi Li wasn't interested in others' recommendations, she still politely leaned in to look, out of respect for Sun Yiling.

A riot of colors exploded before Shi Li's eyes, heavy metal music bombarding her eardrums.

This wasn't a style Shi Li could appreciate, but she still patiently watched on.

Inwardly, she was groaning [If I had known she was going to try to sell me on her idols, I wouldn't have agreed to go eat hot pot with her]

Sun Yiling was also in a difficult position. Although she was obsessed with following celebrities, she never tried to sell others on them, being a well-behaved fan.

She didn't push her idols on others, nor did she ever disturb her idols' normal lives.

Sun Yiling's sudden approach to Shi Li wasn't because she wanted to recommend her idols.

There was a special reason.

Sun Yiling's father's company was an established entertainment company, but with the rapid development of the internet, some of their famous artists had terminated their contracts and set up their own studios.

Sun Yiling's father's company had been greatly impacted. The company was urgently trying to transform, considering that young people nowadays like talent shows, and the young idols from these shows are very popular. They wanted to sign these recently debuted young idols to their company.

Sun Yiling still remembered Lu Jianquan, that ticking time bomb that had almost joined the company, which was absolutely unacceptable to her.

Afraid that the new young stars the company might sign could have various problems as well, she chose to inquire about them from Shi Li in advance.

Everyone on screen wore heavy stage makeup, and Shi Li had face blindness when it came to male celebrities, so she couldn't recognize who was who.

Until after one song ended, everyone on stage introduced themselves in unison, "We are the Seaweed Pork Floss group!"

Shi Li fell silent, finally only saying, "That's nice."

As soon as she spoke, Shi Li's inner thoughts rang out, [You sure have interesting taste]

[This must be the only group where the entire team has fallen from grace, right?]

Sun Yiling: ! Is my dad's eye for talent this good?

[The team leader has three civilian sisters-in-law, and the other eight members include one who was a bully in elementary and middle school]

[As for why there's nothing from high school or college, is it because he reformed? Of course not, it's because he's a beneficiary of the nine-year compulsory education system]

[If it weren't for the nine-year compulsory education, his education might have ended after elementary school]

Shi Li's gaze turned to the blue-haired person on the screen. She couldn't quite recognize who it was until she heard his self-introduction, finally matching the face to the name.

[This big brother was involved in fraud, scamming fans out of over 5 million]

[The ladybug is disgusting]

[This one's impressive, he tricked several girls into having abortions for him]

[This guy was caught by entertainment reporters defecating in the wild on a mountain during a film shoot]

[This brother has a child who can barely make a living]

Shi Li's gaze lingered on the face of the one standing on the far left, [What was this brother's deal again? I can't quite remember]

[Oh right, he stole his roommate's girlfriend]

[This one's also impressive, he made reactionary statements]

Sun Yiling: Damn it, they should all just disappear. She seriously doubted that if her dad's company signed artists from this group, the company would be doomed.

Sun Yiling had to pretend to be recommending the group to Shi Li, but after hearing so much dirt on these people from Shi Li's thoughts, she really couldn't hold her nose and continue recommending them!

In a group of nine people, couldn't there be just one without a scandalous history, who could keep his lower half in check?

The answer was no, just like how in Hua Country with a population of 1.4 billion, they couldn't find eleven people who could play soccer well.

It was the same principle.

Shi Li noticed that the person who had been so enthusiastic just moments ago suddenly looked dazed, as if she had suffered a heavy blow.

Sun Yiling: Of course I am, you'd be dazed too if you were in my shoes, you'd be hit hard too.

And what was most tragicomic was that while Shi Li had mentioned nine people, the one Sun Yiling remembered most clearly was the one who defecated in the wild.

Not only did she remember it clearly, but the scene seemed to float before her eyes.

Right now, she really wanted to know which one was the one who defecated in the wild.

When Shi Li was listing the reasons for their falls from grace, she didn't match the names with what each person had done.

So she only knew why the team leader had fallen, but not the others.

She now only remembered the reasons for the other eight's falls, but as for which reason belonged to whom, that wasn't clear.

For the rest of the car ride, and while eating hot pot with lamb, Sun Yiling didn't try to recommend the group to her anymore, which was a bit unexpected for Shi Li.

Shi Li thought to herself, [When she's not trying to sell me on something, she's quite likable]

Some things can only be appreciated through comparison.

Sun Yiling: Wuwuwu, I don't want to either.

I get it, I don't usually try to sell people on things, so I'm usually quite likable.

After entering January, the teachers were busy preparing for the final exams, while the students were busy dealing with the final exams.

After the homeroom teacher returned, with someone overseeing and urging them on, everyone's daily studies got back on track.

The homeroom teacher was originally a math teacher, so during every self-study period, he would give extra lessons in the classroom, answering students' questions about math problems.

Someone knocked on the door outside, and a female student said to the homeroom teacher who was passionately speaking in front of the blackboard.

"Excuse me, teacher, Principal Lü is calling you to his office."
