Chapter 64 - Campus Belle (2)
It was finally recess and the second the teacher stepped out of the classroom, Su Xiaofei felt her hand a little numb from all the writings she'd done earlier. Alas, she knew that if she really wanted to complete her education this time, something like this should be endured by her.
"Qian, my hand hurts." Still, she complained to her best friend.
"Ah, you shouldn't put a lot of pressure on your pen when writing, Feifei." Xi Qian then took Su Xiaofei's pen and demonstrated the proper way of holding it when writing.
"Hold it like this, Feifei. One of the causes of hand pain is that you're writing only with your fingers. Therefore, your wrist is moving a lot, which causes it to hurt. Try to keep your wrist and hand still and write using your elbow and your shoulder. Your whole arm should be moving.
You should also pay attention to your hand position. Your wrist shouldn't bend like this."
Su Xiaofei watched in awe as her best friend wrote a few words neatly on a piece of paper. No wonder Xi Qian had a good handwriting compared to hers.
"Now, try it." Xi Qian passed her pen and gestured to Su Xiaofei to copy the words she had written.
Su Xiaofei imitated the way Xi Qian held her pen earlier and noticed that the strokes were easier to write compared to how she used to do it. When she started to write with her arm moving, she realized that the pressure on her wrist had lessened.
"See? Your penmanship looks better now. You only need to practice more. Later, when we aren't busy, I'll teach you hand massages. It would relieve the pain somehow." Xi Qian smiled at her.
At that moment, Song Yiran appeared next to Su Xiaofei again with his usual friends tagging along with him.
"Hey, Classmate Su, Classmate Xi, wanna join us for lunch today? My treat." He smiled brightly at Su Xiaofei, but she was already immune to this kind of charm.
As a woman who was living her second lifetime, how can she easily fall for such tricks? She was unlike these young teenagers who hadn't had enough experience yet in this life. It wasn't like she disliked Song Yiran, but she somehow pitied him, knowing how he ended up in her previous life.
Song Yiran was the second young master of the Song family. When he was merely ten years old and his older brother eighteen, their father was killed in an accident at a high-rise building their company was building, thus forcing his elder brother to get along with their uncle to run their family business together.
A few years from now, Song Yiran would try to assist his older brother to regain the absolute control of their company by inviting new foreign investors, only to be schemed by his uncle again and killed in an assassination plot during his stay abroad.
This caused his older brother to plummet into depression, which their uncle took advantage of, effectively kicking him out of the company.
"Thank you for the offer, but I will pass. I already have lunch prepared for me today." Su Xiaofei politely declined Song Yiran's invitation, tidied up her desk before inviting Xi Qian to step out and wait for Lu Qingfeng.
When they stepped out, they were just in time to see Lu Qingfeng waiting for them in the hallway, ignoring the way other high school students ogled at him.
"Ah, Xiao Feng. You are just in time. I'm starving. Did you bring our lunch?"
Lu Qingfeng raised a hand, showing her a bag that contained their lunchboxes.
Su Xiaofei beamed at him, smiled and stood next to him, while Xi Qian kept a safe distance from the little tyrant.
"Classmate Su, are you sure?" Song Yiran's question stopped the three from leaving.
Lu Qingfeng shot him a cold look while Xi Qian sighed inwardly at the scene. It had always been like this. Despite Feifei being one of the most beautiful students in the academy, no one tried to chase or court her. It wasn't just because she was already engaged with Mo Yuchen, but also because this little tyrant was just too intimidating, forbidding any men to get close to Feifei.
Su Xiaofei gave Song Yiran a curious look before smiling.
"No, thank you, Classmate Song. I would rather eat home cooked meals than eat something from the cafeteria." She said, before hooking her arm with Lu Qingfeng and dragged him away with Xi Qian in tow.
Since she and Lu Qingfeng found out about the cold poison, they agreed that it would be safe if they brought lunch boxes with them rather than buying food at the cafeteria. Thankfully, Aunty Liu was more than happy to make their lunch, when Su Xiaofei requested it from the old woman.
Su Xiaofei wasn't certain about when Ye Mingyu had started feeding her the cold poison, so she could only avoid being poisoned by her in this lifetime by taking precautionary measures.
The three took a seat under a large tree that had benches and small tables that students like them could use. Su Xiaofei fished out the three lunchboxes from the bag Lu Qingfeng bought with him and passed them their shares.
Today, Lu Qingfeng was to bring them their lunchboxes because Su Xiaofei had already left the Su Residence, now the Yun Mansion, even before Aunty Liu finished preparing them. Su Xiaofei was the one to give Xi Qian a ride to school, so she needed to leave home early for her to be able to pick up Xi Qian and arrive at school on time.
Su Xiaofei opened her lunchbox and immediately, her mouth watered at the sight of what's in it.. At the top tier of her lunchbox, there were fruit slices neatly placed inside, the middle one had savory pork ribs with vegetables and the bottom had her rice and omelette she requested from Aunty Liu earlier that morning.
