Chapter 1883: Chapter 1883: Magic Apostle (4)
Elsa snapped back to reality and pointed at Chuzheng, "Father, she’s the one who was with me..."
Charles looked at Chuzheng with a peculiar expression, suppressing the furious Elsa, "It’s just a small matter. Come on, let’s eat first."
"Father!"
Charles just shot a faint glance at Elsa, who immediately quieted down, though a few seconds later, she angrily pushed away the plate in front of her, "I’m not eating anymore."
Elsa stormed back to her room, and Chuzheng had no intention of dining with strangers either, so she also returned to her room.
Soon, only Charles and Maggie were left in the dining room.
"Your daughter..."
Maggie lowered her head, "Zheng... Xue Laiya isn’t sensible. Please forgive her, I will make sure she apologizes to Elsa."
Charles seemed like he wanted to say something, but seeing Maggie’s demeanor, he waved his hand, "Let’s eat."
-
The original owner’s room was at the end of the corridor, not large, but fully equipped. Even though Charles didn’t favor her as his stepdaughter, he wouldn’t mistreat her in terms of living conditions.
Chuzheng found a mirror, first looked at the person in the reflection and, after confirming her features were beautiful, she admired it for a moment before preparing to wash up.
Knock knock—
The door was knocked on.
"Xue Laiya, open the door!"
There was no need to open the door to know who was standing outside.
Chuzheng walked over, locked the door, used Yin Xian to shield the entire room, and then leisurely went to take a shower.
-
Elsa knocked on the door for a long time with no response, attempted to go in directly but found the door wouldn’t open, which made her so angry that she couldn’t sleep until midnight.
Originally planning to trouble Chuzheng the next day, she was told Chuzheng had already left for the academy.
Elsa almost exploded with rage.
Chuzheng took the carriage Elsa had just acquired yesterday to the academy, and since it was still early, not many people were there yet.
As Chuzheng got off the carriage, she didn’t attract much attention.
"Xue Laiya classmate."
A sunny and handsome boy ran over from the other side, his face wearing an intoxicating smile.
Chuzheng’s heart skipped a beat.
The current timeline meant the original owner and the boy had just recently met, during the time when the boy was actively showing goodwill towards the original owner.
To say they were acquainted wasn’t accurate, they’d merely seen each other a few times.
Of course, the boy was quite famous; there was no one in the academy who didn’t know him, the gifted and handsome Mu Er.
When Mu Er smiled, he’d reveal two adorable little tiger teeth, his eyes sparkling, "Why are you so early today?"
"Are we very familiar?"
"Um... If you date me, then we’ll be familiar." Mu Er straightforwardly invited Chuzheng to be the centerpiece of his heart.
"I refuse."
Mu Er shrugged helplessly, "Alright. Then we can be friends."
"What do you see in me?"
A person like Mu Er could have any number of girls in the academy at his beck and call, so why bother with the useless original owner?
Perhaps among a crowd of geniuses, a useless person stands out more?
You’re up to no good, trying to harm me!
"Xue Laiya classmate is very cute," Mu Er said with a smile, "You’re my type. I want to be friends with Xue Laiya classmate."
Chuzheng resisted the urge to take out a mirror to see where she was cute, "You’re not my type, please keep your distance in the future."
If Elsa gives me trouble because of you, I’ll get it back from you.
A big shot can’t suffer a loss.
"Ah..." Mu Er sighed in disappointment, but then seriously asked, "Then what type do you like?"
"It’s not a matter of type."
Whatever type a Good Person Card is, that’s the type I like; you’ll never have a chance.
-
Outside the school gate.
Elsa disembarked from the carriage holding her skirt and saw Mu Er and Chuzheng talking from afar.
She had heard from others before that Mu Er was getting close to her.
She hadn’t believed it then, but seeing it now, she couldn’t help but believe it.
Elsa automatically concluded that Chuzheng was the one seducing Mu Er.
A mere commoner dares to covet Mu Er, who gave her the nerve?
"Mu Er."
Elsa jogged over, calling out to Mu Er who was looking to follow Chuzheng.
"Miss Elsa, good morning." Mu Er’s smile faded slightly, maintaining a polite and cordial distance.
"Mu Er, just call me Elsa." Elsa gently lowered her head, tucking a strand of red hair behind her ear, showing none of the arrogance she displayed towards Chuzheng.
Mu Er smiled but didn’t change his address, "Miss Elsa, I have things to do, so I must leave first."
"Mu Er..."
Mu Er left quickly, leaving Elsa to stomp her foot in anger.
-
On the other side.
Chuzheng avoided Mu Er and the crowd, holding a small mirror and looking into it.
No matter how she looked at it, this face wasn’t cute, was it?
The original owner’s face was more on the flamboyant and striking side; at such a young age, a few years later, she’d grow to be even more captivating.
The original owner hadn’t dressed up much, and her clothes were rather drab.
The skin wasn’t in great condition, and with her habit of lowering her head, hair often hidden the bruises, naturally leaving her unnoticed.
Now, Chuzheng had changed her outfit, though her hairstyle hadn’t yet been altered, her spirit and energy had transformed her whole aura.
So, exactly what about this face is cute?
"Xu... Xue Laiya classmate."
Chuzheng ’clapped’ the mirror shut and turned to see Alice standing a few steps away.
"Something the matter?"
Alice hurriedly freed a hand and nervously waved it, "No... nothing, I... I just saw you and wanted to say hi."
By the end, Alice’s voice had become barely audible.
Chuzheng’s unfamiliar and cold gaze kept Alice from saying more.
"Oh."
Scared me to death.
Surely she didn’t see it just now?
She definitely didn’t see it!!
Chuzheng subtly put away the mirror and continued walking in the direction of the classroom.
Alice watched as Chuzheng left, taking a while before she hugged her things and walked in another direction.
-
Chuzheng sat in the classroom, flipping through the book of magic theory on the original owner’s desk.
The original owner hadn’t detected any magic talent and couldn’t, as the instructor taught, feel the magic elements in the air.
This body... was a complete waste.
"Look at her..."
"What’s with those clothes she’s wearing?"
"Yesterday, she made Elsa so mad, and today she actually came to school just fine..."
"Pretending to read a book, a magic wastrel, can she even understand?"
When Chuzheng arrived in the classroom, there were only a few students; but now, more and more came, and the discussion around her grew too.
The first thing that caught everyone’s attention was her outfit, which looked exquisite and luxurious.
In their impression, Chuzheng was just Elsa’s follower, a bag-carrying, water-fetching errand type.
Dressed simply, always with her head down, her presence was barely felt.
Yet today, she was dressed in clean, beautiful clothes, sitting there with a straight back, her aura so commanding it was impossible to ignore.
