Chapter 42: Is Homework More Important Than Meeting Me?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the afternoon, Mama Mu started to make her way towards Eaton punctually. She didn’t know that Mu Tangxue had caused an uproar, even believing that she was beloved by her classmates.

Unable to stop her from coming, Mu Tangxue went up to Eaton’s roof, even climbing beyond its fence.

The teachers were immediately notified when a student saw her dangerous move, and news that someone was about to jump spread throughout the school.

Mu Tangxue looked ever so hopeless as she simply stood over the roof. It seemed like she was the one bullied, pushed to such a move in desperation.

Mama Mu sped up immediately, racing to Eaton as her heat thumped furiously.

The school had already called in the police by then, and they were attempting negotiation and rescue. historical

“Oh my god... my darling...”

Unable to hold back, Mama Mu got the police’s approval before rushing upstairs. “What are you doing, Tanguxue? Come, Mommy’s here...come to Mommy...”

“Mommy...” Mu Tangxue’s body softened at once at the sight of Mama Mu. The police immediately seized the moment and grabbed her, lowering her to the ground while Mama Mu rushed up to embrace her.

“Silly girl, what are you doing? Why are you scaring Mommy like that?”

There were many who were watching from the ground, with Mu Tangxue quickly rushed to the hospital.

Mu Qiqi was one of the onlookers and she smiled at the very sight.

With that, Mama Mu would no longer mind Mu Tangxue’s behavior in school. All she would think about was blaming whoever who had forced her daughter to a corner to the point that she would try to jump to her death.

Qian Qian tugged at her arm, pretending that her entire body was shivering. “Your sister is quite something. She might really win a major award in acting with her skill.”

“You think that’s all she’s got?” Mu Qiqi sneered. “There’s so much more that she’s capable of.”

Still, that had nothing to do with her. It was enough as long as everyone else in school knew how much of an embarrassment Mu Tangxue was.

“By the way, who’s that boy you like?” Qian Qian asked, suddenly turning her focus to Mu Qiqi’s exposed diary. “I’ve never seen you pay close attention to any of them.”

“That would be telling.” Mu Qiqi finished mysteriously and returned to the classroom with her tablemate.

Be that as it may, the classroom was gloomy once afternoon classes started. Everyone was probably finding that the atmosphere had been left a horrible mess ever since Mu Tangxue came, and she was definitely famous across the entire school now.

“Qiqi, why don’t you tell me? Who is it? Have you confessed your love?”

Mu Qiqi shook her head as Qian Qian pestered her. “Can’t say.”

“That won’t do, you know? Us girls have to take the initiative nowadays...think about it, wouldn’t excellent men be worth our effort? So, did you kiss?”

Mu Qiqi shook her head again and asked in return, “How do you know so much?”

“I’ve had my first kiss. It felt so nice—soft and fluffy, like jelly.”

Suddenly Mu Qiqi remembered Sheng Xiao’s beautiful face, his alluring lips.

If she could kiss him...

“Oh, someone’s blushing!” Qian Qian quickly exposed her. “Must be thinking something naughty.”

Mu Qiqi said nothing because the class teacher has arrived. She must have been in a bad mood considering what had happened with Mu Tangxue.

Still, she only assigned the class one task, and it was to discover an ambition.

Mu Qiqi thought about the Sheng family’s diamond trade. Hoping that she could help him in the future, she was considering an academy for designing.

Would Xiaoxiao like that?

However, she started to think about his lips again, and Qian Qian’s description about kissing...

What would hers feel like?

***

Mu Tangxue had a full body checkup after being rushed to the hospital, after of which the doctors assured Mama Mu that she was only having a breakdown and that she would recover in moments.

Naturally, Mama Mu could not think of anyone other than Mu Qiqi who would force Mu Tangxue to such desperation.

‘It must be Mu Qiqi’, she thought, her whole body shaking in fury.

She had really never imagined that her very own daughter could be so evil.

Before Mu Tangxue woke up, Mama Mu went straight to Eaton and sought out the class teacher, her face full of scorn. “How long has it been? How many times has my daughter been admitted to the hospital? Don’t you think you have responsibilities as a teacher?”

The class teacher felt a pain in the head at the sight of Mama Mu. It was already enough that Mu Tangxue was a hypocrite, but it turned out that she has even led her mother completely by the nose.

“Could you please calm down, madam?”

“How could I stay calm? You don’t feel hurt when it isn’t your daughter on the roof, do you?” Mama Mu shot back, pointing at the teacher’s nose. “Is this how Eaton, the best academy there is, treats its students?”

“Madam, spoiling your child would only end up harming her. If you think I have wronged your daughter, you may complain to the school board. That being said, I don’t think I would like to talk to you now.”

“What about Mu Qiqi? Where is she?” Mama Mu pestered.

Unyielding, Mama Mu phoned Su Zipei at once. “Bring out Mu Qiqi. I want to see her and ask her a few things.”

Su Zipei barely gave her phone a glance before giving a single reply:

“Wrong number.”

With that, she immediately blocked Mama Mu’s phone number.

It was when Mu Qiqi finally reached home that Su Zipei asked her, “Trouble in school today again? The Mu family even called me.”

Mu Qiqi hence told her aunt everything that had happened in school that day, and Su Zipei shook her head when she finished. “I thought Mu Tangxue was only a show-off, but now... I think she really has no conscience. Luckily our Qiqi is protected!”

Mu Qiqi said nothing. She returned to her room after dinner—she would study how to make cufflinks and making blueprints, and ask for help from a craftsman on the weekend.

Mu Qiqi was working so seriously that she didn’t see Sheng Xiao’s message, and it was only an hour later when she finally noticed.

Surprised, she bounced off her chair, changed, and went downstairs. Even so, she could not find Sheng Xiao’s car where they usually met.

Was he gone?

Mu Qiqi quickly dialed his number to explain things, but someone grabbed her phone from behind her the moment it connected.

She turned to find Sheng Xiao behind her.

“Xiaoxiao...”

“Why so slow?” Sheng Xiao led her by her hand to the woods.

“I... was doing homework,” she quickly said.

She was surprised then that he suddenly turned, lowering himself so that he was inches away from her nose.

“Is homework more important than meeting me?” he asked.
