Chapter 5: She Was A Little Fairy
Chapter 5: She Was A Little Fairy
Wen Ruan's entire body froze and her toes curled up in her shoes. She wished she could dig a hole and hide inside it.
She didn't know if he had heard her conversation with Huo Jingxiu.
Wen Ruan opened her mouth, hoping to explain that she no longer had feelings for Huo Jingxiu. But, she swallowed her words back just as she was about to speak up.
This was because Huo Hannian had an extremely cold expression on his face at the moment. His 'leave me alone' look was very scary.
Without even looking at her, he went to the form teacher's office located on the 4th floor.
Wen Ruan followed after him quietly and hid outside the door. She could hear the form teacher lecturing him. "You transferred here just a short while ago and already you have caused two girls to fight over you. I can't believe that you and Huo Jingxiu are brothers. He is outstanding in every field while you are either sleeping in class or playing games. Why can't you behave more like him?"
Wen Ruan only found out that Huo Hannian and Huo Jingxiu were 'not' brothers after many years. Huo Hannian's identity was far more noble than Huo Jingxiu.
Someone who could take over the Sorbourne Family in his mid twenties must be a genius. He would not be interested in competing with Huo Jingxiu, since he was far more outstanding than the latter.
Huo Hannian's tall body was leaning against a desk. He was nonchalant with his opaque, black eyes looking out of the window, while the form teacher continued to berate him agitatedly.
Huo Hannian had an indolent look about him.
"If you don't buck up during the next week's monthly test, you would still be sitting with Wen Ruan, who has the worst results."
Huo Hannian threw a glance at the door when he heard the form teacher's words. His eyes that were partially covered by his unruly hair, were razor sharp underneath. His lips curled up coldly.
Wen Ruan swiftly retrieved her gaze and rubbed her arms which were suddenly full of goosebumps.
If looks could kill, that look he just gave her could kill her 100 times over!
Wen Ruan didn't dare to eavesdrop any further and ran away in panic.
Wen Ruan didn't go back to the classroom. Instead, she went to the school's tea shop's washroom.
Looking at the girl with thick make-up and rebonded hair in the mirror, she held a disdainful expression in her eyes.
Huo Jingxiu had told her that he was afraid of other boys stealing her away since she was too pretty. As a result, she made herself look like a dimwit!
All that time, she thought she had a unique style, but in Huo Jingxiu's eyes, she was simply an idiot!
Wen Ruan borrowed a make-up remover bottle from the sales assistant. After a long while, her fair face finally surfaced.
Wen Ruan looked like a little fairy right now. Her bright, limpid eyes were like black grapes submerged in water. She looked clean and alert.
In truth, she didn't need any make-up. Her skin was tender and blemish free with a natural blush painting her cheeks.
Wen Ruan tied her hair up into a little bun before leaving the washroom.
Shen Chuan came to look for her and was shocked to see Wen Ruan without even a hint of make-up on her face.
"Wow! Is this the Sister Ruan whom I know?"
Wen Ruan smiled at him, flashing her white teeth. "What do you think?"
Shen Chuan rubbed the back of his head and looked at Wen Ruan's pretty face. He sucked up to her in a sweet voice. "It's definitely our Sister Ruan. Hehe."
Wen Ruan said, "Get straight to the point."
"Sister Ruan, Huo Hannian was the reason that you were punished and had to clean the windows. Wenying and I were very angry so we thought really hard and came up with a new idea on your behalf!"
"Huo Hannian is definitely going to shit his pants this time. Sister Ruan, you can sit back and watch Huo Hannian get thrown out of Class 10!"
