I Have To Be the Penultimate at Least
Her long black hair fluttered in the wind, and her cheeks flushed from running. She pursed her red lips and rushed over to Lan Xiao.
“Xiao Xiao… You… I heard that you and Wen Muchu came to school together. Don’t you hate him the most? And what kind of clothes are you wearing today? It shows too much of your arms and legs. This is not like you.”
Lan Xiao raised her eyes and looked up at the girl in front of her, who had a pair of bright eyes, a snow-white complexion, and fluttering long black hair.
Her name was An Yao, Lan Xiao’s classmate. She was also Lan Xiao’s best friend from first grade to third grade in senior high school.
But perhaps, it was only Lan Xiao who considered An Yao as her best friend. Because in her previous life, when the Lan family went bankrupt, An Yao gradually showed her ugly side to her.
Lan Xiao was ridiculed by An Yao to the extreme and was cursed for being stupid. An Yao even admitted that she had fooled her for three years. She was like a puppy to her.
If she had asked Lan Xiao to do something, Lan Xiao would never do otherwise.
An Yao said that if it weren’t for the fact that Lan Xiao was a Lan, she wouldn’t have taken the initiative to make friends with such a bumpkin like Lan Xiao.
God knew how hard and tiring it was to pretend to be her friend.
In a word, when Lan Xiao fell into a slump in her previous life, An Yao even twisted the knife. She wished that she could step on Lan Xiao hard and completely crush her.
It was also because of An Yao that Lan Xiao had done a lot of stupid things over the years.
On the surface, An Yao looked like a good girl, a beautiful and gentle goddess. But the truth was, she had caused countless troubles since she flirted with lots of boys.
Then she urged Lan Xiao to take a lot of responsibility for her because they were best friends.
Therefore, those wrongdoings, such as fighting, being late, and leaving early, were all because of An Yao.
She was the reason why Lan Xiao was called “the devil” in their school.
“Xiao Xiao, why are you so stunned there? I’m talking to you,” An Yao said with a frown, pushing Lan Xiao hard.
But Lan Xiao frowned and held her shoulder, while her eyes gradually turned red.
“An Yao, why did you hit me?”
An Yao was at a loss for words.
“I just want to look nice. Why are you so angry? Why would you even hit me? Are we not best friends? No matter what trouble you are in, I always help you settle it. We are best friends. Why are you treating me like this?” Lan Xiao pursed her lips and put on an aggrieved look while complaining about An Yao between sobs.
“Damn it! The sun must have risen from the west this morning!” Fu Yunke exclaimed as he turned around and saw the scene. He was utterly shocked.
An Yao had actually hit Lan Xiao. Weren’t these two close like sisters?
The other students in the classroom also watched the dramatic scene as if they had seen a ghost.
An Yao was also shocked as she didn’t expect that Lan Xiao would say those words to her.
She looked around and met the surprised eyes of the crowd. Her face flushed with anxiety. She quickly waved her hands and said, “No… That’s not true. Everyone, don’t get me wrong. Xiao Xiao is just playing a joke on me.”
Lan Xiao looked at An Yao pitifully with her big innocent eyes.
“Yao Yao, are you kidding me? You hit me so hard that my shoulder even got swollen. I still have an exam later, but my arm hurts so much that I can’t move it. Do you want me to hand in a blank paper later? I don’t want to get the lowest score in the exam anymore. I have to be the penultimate at least.”
“Puff!” Someone in the classroom suddenly laughed.
Then the rest of the students also laughed one after another.
